"Boom, boom, boom!"

A series of 4 or 5 shells, although none of them fell into the positions of the Russian army, but the most recent one fell only more than 2oo meters away from the positions of the Russian army, and the stirred up sand and gravel had already splashed on the positions of the Russian army, which also scared the battalion commander Tyugin into a cold sweat, which was quite close. Bayi Chinese Network? ? ≥≈≤.= And judging from the experience of the battalion commander Teyukin, what landed just now was not a field artillery shell, but a howitzer, indicating that this was just a test shot by the opponent, and as the opponent corrected the trajectory, the next round of strikes was likely to fall on the position of the Russian army.

This is the field artillery position on the right flank of the Russian army, with 18 M1877 87mm field guns, and Tyugin is the commander of this field artillery battalion and the supreme commander of this position.

In fact, Obumochaev's judgment of the strength of the two sides is still very accurate, although the People's Army has concentrated all the artillery of the whole army in Shanhaiguan, but there are only 36 Type 1897 77mm field guns, 12 Type 1898 1O5mm light howitzers, in terms of the number of artillery alone, in fact, it is less than the fifth division of the Russian army. Moreover, these artillery pieces should also be distributed in two position directions, 36 Type 1897 77mm field guns were arranged on the first line of defense on the northern and southern fronts, and the firing range of the Type 1898 1o5mm light howitzer exceeded 1oooo meters, so it was only arranged on a high ground by the Jiujiang River near the second line of defense, which could cover the entire first line of defense in the north and south.

According to the common sense of war in this era, the Russian army naturally has a great advantage, and although the Russian artillery fired first and exposed its position, because the Russian artillery gradually advanced with the advance of the infantry army, the People's Army could not determine the location of the Russian artillery position, and it was difficult to use the range advantage of the howitzer to attack the Russian artillery position. However, the Russian artillery can constantly provide sufficient fire support for its own infantry and deal a heavy blow to the enemy's position.

If the opponent is replaced by the army of any other country in this era, the Russian army is almost invincible, even if it cannot break through the opponent's defense line, but it can also deal a heavy blow to the enemy's defense line. However, the People's Army is an army that is different from any other country in this era, not only is its tactical concept different from that of this era, but it also has weapons that cannot be imagined in this era, and although some weapons cannot directly strike at the Russian army, the help of the People's Army cannot be underestimated.

As early as when the Russian army sent troops, the Kunming ship moored in the waters of Shanhaiguan released the Z-2ooo drone and flew over the battlefield, observing the layout of the Russian army's positions clearly, and very accurately calculated the position and distance of the Russian army's positions, and provided very accurate firing unit parameters for the people's army's artillery bombardment.

Just when the three field artillery positions of the Russian army launched an artillery bombardment on the positions of the People's Army, the 12 1898 Type 1o5mm light howitzers of the only howitzer battalion of the People's Army had adjusted the firing parameters according to the data provided by the drone, and the target was the field artillery position on the right flank of the Russian army, carrying out complete blind shooting and hitting the clouds.

However, in this era, the shooting accuracy of artillery, and the fire control system are far from being compared with later generations, even if the location of the target is known, but it is difficult to hit accurately in the first round of shelling, not to mention that the artillery of the People's Army is still rookie gunners, although there are crossing soldiers to lead the team, but although the military quality of the crossing fighters is excellent, but fiddling with the artillery of this era is also a novice, so it is necessary to conduct test firing.

The howitzer battalion divided 12 artillery pieces into 3 batches of 4 guns, and the first round of test firing was carried out first. After the firing is completed, the UAV that reconnoiters at high altitude also immediately analyzes the landing point and distance deviation of the shells, and transmits them to the howitzer battalion in a timely manner.

The KPA artillery immediately corrected the firing parameters according to the deviation of the first round of shelling, and about two minutes later, conducted a second round of test firing at the Russian field artillery positions. And the result of this test firing is a step further than the first round, all four shells fell within 15o meters of the Russian field artillery position, and one shell fell less than 5o meters from the Russian field artillery position, strictly speaking, this distance can be regarded as the edge of the strike range. In fact, this is because the gunners of the People's Army are indeed new recruits, and the training time is also insufficient, if the experienced gunners are replaced, in the second round of test firing, they can basically be prepared to hit the field artillery positions of the Russian army, even in the first round, there is a great chance of hitting the target.

Teyugin couldn't help but be taken aback, he didn't expect the opponent's artillery to fall so accurately, and it only took two rounds of test firing to get infinitely close to his own position. It's just that Tyugin can't figure out how the other side found the precise position of his position, if it is said that the scout is used to determine the position, but how the other side corrects the shooting parameters, even if there are scouts nearby to observe the landing point of the shells, it is impossible to immediately send the shooting error back to his own artillery.

In fact, in this era, the means of detection are still very backward, and the range of artillery is getting farther and farther, because it is the long range of howitzers, the curve of the trajectory of artillery shells, so it is impossible to aim through the artillery's own sights, generally only through the field reconnaissance of scouts, or occupy high ground, with mechanical optical instruments to observe the enemy's position, determine the parameters of their own shooting.

In contrast, the reconnaissance accuracy of the scout is relatively high, and it can provide relatively accurate shooting parameters, but the transmission of information is slow, because it is impossible to transmit the shooting error data back in extreme time when it is carrying out corrective shooting; and the use of mechanical optical instruments can transmit information in extreme time, but the mechanical optical instruments use the principle of trigonometric culverts to determine the shooting parameters, and the accuracy of mechanical optical instruments in this era is not high, and the error is large, and it increases with the expansion of distance. Therefore, if the shooting parameters are provided by mechanical optical instruments, it often takes multiple rounds of test firing to determine the accurate shooting parameters.

But now the time does not allow Eugene to think more, because the third round of artillery bombardment of the other side came as scheduled, and after the first two rounds of test firing and correction, the accuracy of this shelling finally reached a satisfactory result, three of the four shells fell within the range of the Russian army's field artillery position, and the other was only about 3o meters away from the Russian army's field artillery position.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

A huge explosion suddenly sounded in the field artillery array on the right flank of the Russian army, and the two field guns were pushed by the huge impact force generated by the explosion, bounced up from the ground nearly two meters high, and fell to the ground, and more than a dozen artillery soldiers around were blown up into the air, and dozens of Russian soldiers were hit by the fragments fired from the explosion, and there were countless casualties and screams for a while.

And immediately after the clear range parameters have been determined, the 12 1o5mm light howitzers of the People's Army immediately opened full fire, according to three rounds of shelling the field artillery positions on the right flank of the Russian army, the shells of the People's Army fell into the positions of the Russian army one by one, while inflicting a heavy blow to the Russian army, it also led to the shells in the Russian position, so the explosion in the Russian position became a sound, a large number of Russian soldiers were blown to the bones, no flesh and bones remained, and the Russian soldiers who were lucky enough to fall the shells still dared to stay on the position for a long time, threw away the artillery, scattered and fled。 And in a short time, the field artillery positions on the right flank of the Russian army were completely destroyed by the People's Army.

The news quickly reached the front command of the Russian army, and Obumochaev couldn't help but be taken aback when he learned about it, in fact, the right flank field artillery position was only about 4 kilometers away from the headquarters, and the sound of a huge explosion could be heard very clearly. Obumochaev is an experienced soldier, and naturally knows how difficult it is to achieve accurate artillery bombardment of the enemy's positions on the battlefield, but the overseas Chinese have done this, which also shows that the overseas Chinese have made a certain technological breakthrough in the observation and sighting technology of artillery.

If the field artillery positions on the right flank have been shelled by overseas Chinese, will the field artillery positions on the left flank and the middle road, and even the command headquarters, also be attacked by overseas Chinese? Obumochaev did not dare to take this risk, after all, he had already lost one-third of the field artillery, and if there were any further losses, he could not afford it, so Obumochaev also hurriedly ordered the other two field artillery battalions to immediately retreat and get out of the range of the enemy's artillery.

Fortunately, the command headquarters was still in the rear of the field artillery positions, and it was very well concealed by using the woods and mountains as cover, so Obumochaev was relatively relieved and did not worry about the safety of the headquarters.

Although Obumochaev's order was very timely, it was still too late, after all, in this era when communications were basically based on roaring, it would take another minute or two for orders to be transmitted from the command headquarters to the positions, and it would take even longer for the field artillery positions to evacuate from their positions after receiving the order. And after knocking out the field artillery position on the right flank of the Russian army, the howitzer battalion of the People's Army immediately turned its muzzle to the field artillery position on the left flank of the Russian army.

After two rounds of test firing, many of the artillery of the People's Army corrected the parameters of artillery firing, and hit the target in the third round, and then launched continuous shelling, and after more than ten rounds of shelling, the field artillery positions on the left flank of the Russian army were also hit almost devastatingly.

After receiving this news, Obumochaev's face also became very ugly, and the loss of two field artillery battalions in a row can basically be regarded as a loss, even if it breaks through the positions of the People's Army, it cannot be regarded as a victory. Therefore, Obumochaev immediately grabbed the binoculars and carefully observed the current situation on the battlefield, and the field artillery battalion in the center was already retreating, while the Russian troops attacking the KPA position had approached the KPA position. And Obumochaev is also thinking in his heart whether it is time to withdraw the troops at this point in the battle.
