There were a few dog barks in the distance, and the bell under the cow's neck "Ding Ling Ding Ding" sounded, how good! This is a one-of-a-kind animal symphony.

The night grew darker and thicker, and the moon was like a white jade mirror, shining its light on the fields and villages. There was silence all around, the trees, the crops were drunk, and no longer made any sound. The frogs and insects stopped crowing, the dogs stopped barking, the bells under the cows' necks stopped ringing, and the symphony of unique creatures ended.

In the moonlight, only the delicate flowers are blooming, and the rich fragrance of flowers is wafting. This unique silence hides a unique rural atmosphere.

The artillery position was set up in an open field in the north of the village, and a guard was placed around it, and no one was allowed to approach. The howitzers were placed in deep pits one after another, and the sky net was pulled on them, and if they didn't get closer, they didn't know that the artillery was placed inside.

Only 5 minutes before the battle, the artillery was pulled up and entered the position.

When Company Commander Libus saw Han Xing's late-night visit, he knew that he was not at ease because of tomorrow's war, so he personally came to inquire about the situation. Hurriedly gave Han Xing a military salute and asked Han Xing to sit on the shell box.

Han Xing sat on the shell box, looked at the dark Chiping County in front of him, and asked Li Bus: "Company Commander Li, tomorrow the artillery will shoot the artillery tower, and you can't test the gun, and then correct the angle." If you hit it crookedly, there will be a dense residential area nearby, so how many people will have to die!? ”

Libus also frowned, thinking to himself, artillery shooting can't be the same as rifle shooting, as long as the ruler is set and the aim is good, you can hit. It can't be the same as mortar shooting, which is relatively simple, because most of the targets can be directly visually inspected, the left and right angles and the up and down elevation angles are set, and then according to the principle of curved firing of the shell, it can be fired.

When shooting a large artillery, it is necessary to first calculate the shooting elements, and only after the calculation is done can the test firing be carried out, and then according to the error of the shooting, the shooting can be readjusted to hit the target.

This Han Xing is good, and he asked for a one-shot hit, and he suddenly felt a lot of pressure in his heart.

Libbs had no choice but to say, "I'll try my best!" ”

When Han Xing heard his words, he still didn't know the bottom of his heart, and asked again: "Can you hit with one shot, if you can't hit it, and it hits the residential area, it will be a big trouble." ”

Libus thought for a while and said, "Since Commander Han asked me like this, well, I will lean the artillery forward as far as possible, just like a mortar, and shoot closer." However, no matter how good I aimed, if I could hit it in one shot, it would have to be a matter of luck. ”

"How sure are you? Do you have a good idea of the road ahead, do you want to repair the road for you tonight? Han Xing asked.

Libus thought for a moment and said, "Only seventy percent sure." As for the road, I'm optimistic, but fortunately, these are all flat roads, and the road is not difficult to walk, and the cannon can be pulled directly over. ”

Han Xing's heart, seventy percent is fine. A marksman like Libus is only seventy percent sure, let alone others.

Han Xing asked again: "There should be no problem in breaking through the northern city wall." So, are you sure that the artillery fire at the east, west, and south gates will suppress you? ”

Libus didn't think much about these problems, saying: "The city wall is still seven or eight meters wide, and it is much easier to do it without the scruples of the common people." I can't hit this shot, I can correct the next shot, and then I can hit it. ”

Han Xing almost understood these problems, and only a stone fell to the ground in his heart, and he could sleep at night.

On the night of that day, on the basis of fully mobilizing the ideology, all the main regiments of our army organized ladder groups, grenade groups, firepower groups, and assault groups, selected the first and second echelons of the main attack, and studied the breakthrough points and tactical measures of each group.

At half past three on the 22nd, the fighters got up, had a full meal at four o'clock, and then the units entered the front line of battle.

The east is filled with a mist like a veil of smoke, the crystal dew is still sleeping on the branches and leaf tips, and the sun is now peeking out of the horizon, and the light is so hot and straightforward that your eyes dare not look at it directly, but can only feel its shy face with your residual vision.

The village is still sleeping, under the willows and mulberry acacias, the small courtyards of the farmhouses are scattered without any movement, and the sunlight is smeared over and over again on the earthen courtyard walls and winding paths, yellow and bright. Only leisurely chickens and loose dogs stroll, occasionally jumping and running.

The dogs are also fortune-tellers, and during the fierce confrontation, the dogs are all gone. Now the situation is a little better, and the dog people have a new lease of life.

The morning fog cleared, the grass beneath his feet grew greener, and the warriors couldn't help but reach out to feel if it was all real. Dew unceremoniously hugged the caressed hand, and the hand was immediately wet with the cool dew.

At 7 o'clock, the battle began first at the West Gate. This area is all red soil, and it is easier to dig tunnels, and the soldiers have already dug trenches and tunnels under the west gate. The four regiments concentrated the whole regiment's machine guns and a mortar to form a fire network, and hit the west gate fiercely.

Xu Xuezhang thought that our army was attacking from the West Gate, so he immediately transferred all the artillery of the city defense artillery company to support the West Gate.

"Boom-" "Boom-" The enemy's artillery fire launched an artillery bombardment on the position of our fourth regiment, and for a moment the fire on the position was shining and the smoke was filled, and the position was shrouded in the threat of death.

Han Xing looked at it, the enemy's shells were nothing more than large 150 mm heavy mortar shells, as well as medium-sized 82 mortar shells, because the mortars could be fired continuously, so it was quite lively, and the shells fell on the positions of the four regiments for a while, causing a lot of casualties.

"Libus, it's up to you." Han Xing shouted.

At this time, Han Xing's artillery position was moved to the edge of the enemy's north and west city walls, and the nearest city wall was 300 meters away, so to speak, the cannons were also bayonets.

Libus had been observing the enemy's mortar trajectory for a long time, and from visual inspection, it looked like the enemy had placed the mortar on the western wall. Libus took the telescope and observed it again, quickly calculated the 94 type 75 mm shooting elements in his mind, and then quickly shouted: "The left and right angles are 74 degrees 30, the elevation angle is 65 degrees 6, 1 round per door, shoot-"

"Bang bang ......" and "bang bang ......" came the sound of mountain artillery guns being ejected.

Four black projectiles flew into the air, like four little eagles, flying freely in the blue sky.

Hou Dashan's mechanized regiment, the howitzers are mainly Japanese Type 94 75mm mountain guns and Soviet-made ZIS-3 76mm field guns.

A company of Libbs, armed with 4 Japanese Type 94 75mm mountain guns.

This kind of mountain artillery is operated by 6 people per gun, one sighter, one operator, one gunner, one gun commander, and two ammunition hands. There are also two keepers who are responsible for feeding the six animals, and the mountain cannons are mainly dismantled and carried by these animals. The total weight of this mountain gun was 536 kg.

The firing performance of this mountain artillery is still relatively good, the firing range is wide, the projectile weight is 6.34 kg, the initial velocity of the projectile is 392 m/s, and the maximum firing range is 8300 meters.

"Boom-" "Boom-" A few seconds later, three shells exploded under the wall, and one shell exploded on the wall, and after a flash of fire, four thick clouds of smoke rose, and it took a long time for the smoke to gradually dissipate.

The enemy's mortars never rang again.

There was a burst of enthusiastic cheers from our position, and the stubborn army defending the city was devoid of mortars, like a beaten pig, and suddenly lost its spirit, leaving only a few rifles to ** without a sound.

Han Xing took a megaphone and shouted at Chiping County: "Listen, brothers of the recalcitrant army in the county seat, this time you have shot down your mortar, and the next step will be to hit your turret." Please get out of the way of the brothers on the turret, or you will die. ”

In a salvo of mountain artillery just now, in fact, one shell hit the mortar position, and as a result, the gunners of these mortars were killed. Li Qishan was also a little frightened when he saw it, he thought that he would be brave with these mortars, but who would have thought that in one round, his own mortars would be defeated.

Li Qishan took the megaphone and shouted to Han Xing: "Excuse me, which unit is the artillery from, and who are you?" ”

Han Xing shouted: "You don't care who I am, you can also see the mortar." The mortars are all finished, can the turrets still not be able to hit? The little devils are all finished, do you little traitors have anything to jump on? ”

"Are you the commander of the Han Xing of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and are your artillery not from the new 8th Brigade." Li Qishan shouted.

When Han Xing heard this, it seemed that this Li Qishan was still very in charge, and he could hear who was coming, and he also knew which unit's artillery it was. I had to say: "Yes and what, your only way now is only to surrender, and there is only one way to die if you resist stubbornly." ”

Li Qishan said: "Commander Han, can we discuss something?" ”

Han Xing thought to himself, is this Li Qishan playing tricks again! But now, he is also a grasshopper after the autumn, and he has nothing to jump on. He also said: "Originally, I didn't pull my head with you for jujube core sawing bowls, but considering that there are so many people in the county, as well as your more than 2,000 innocent brothers, you can tell me if you have anything to say!" ”

Li Qishan said a little pleadingly: "Can you allow us to discuss and discuss, and we will reply to you when the discussion is completed." ”

"And how long do you have to discuss?" Han Xing asked.

"That's three days, and I'll give you an answer after three days." Li Qishan said.

When Han Xing heard this, this was obviously a delaying tactic, and three days later, the cucumber vegetables were also cold. If he says he doesn't agree after three days, he's playing us like monkeys.

Han Xing said to him: "You Li Qishan is really insincere to talk about, and for three days, the toad yawns - what a big breath." You Li Qishan is extremely evil, the people of Chiping County, who doesn't know, who doesn't know? Not to mention far away, let's take Zhangjialou as an example, how many innocent people you have killed, how many women from good families have been raped, your crimes are really innumerable, and it is not an exaggeration to be skinned alive by the people. In order to avenge the villagers in Zhangjialou, and to avenge the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in the county who were killed by you, the artillery pay attention and open fire-"

As soon as Han Xing's words were finished, a 75-millimeter shell flew towards the turret in the northwest corner.
