Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Gunner Against the Heavens

"General Ren, the Japanese firepower is too fierce, let your artillery open fire!"

"That's right, General Ren, hurry up and open the cannon, hurry up and open the cannon!" Several Mongolian patriarchs ran to Ren Laifeng and demanded to open fire.

Ren Laifeng hurriedly appeased these people, "A few, a few!" Don't worry, let me discuss this matter with the artillery company commander. What to discuss? Eh, you don't know, artillery is no better than cavalry. As long as the cavalry has horses, they can fight at any time; If the artilleryman wants to open fire, there are certain conditions. Terrain, distance, weather, these are all influencing factors. ”

How did the Mongolian patriarchs know that there are so many conditions required to open a cannon, and listening to what Ren Laifeng said casually is like telling a mythical story. If you have the heart to question it, they are the leaders of the Six-Party Alliance, and they questioned the leaders of the Alliance for the first time they fought a war, what else did they mean by establishing this alliance? Come on, how do you like it, we can't afford to mess with the Japanese artillery, so stay away!

After explaining the situation to the commander-in-chief, the five tribal patriarchs each led their troops back five miles. Of course, the Flying Tiger Battalion has also withdrawn, and the five parties of the Six-Party Alliance have all retreated, so the Flying Tiger Battalion can't stay in front of it and resist the devil's shells, right?

The besieging troops withdrew, and Watanabe Nakasa was delighted. He specially moved a small square table to the city, made a three-stringed and hugged it in his arms, and put a bowl of tea on the table. Playing the three strings and singing Japanese folk songs, Zhuge Liang has a bit of a plan for the empty city.

It's a pity that there are no enemy troops under the city, and the allied forces of the six parties are all five miles away. In addition, Zhuge Liang plays the guzheng, and this one plays the three strings. Although they are all silk string instruments, in terms of their artistic conception, they don't seem to be so suitable for the situation.

His Excellency Nakasa sang a wild song, which caused many imperial officers and soldiers to be sad, and the devil soldiers heard the sound of the three strings and felt homesick.

The Japanese were entertaining themselves in the county, but the atmosphere on the Allied side was a little tense. This is how separate armies are aligned, and when the war is going well, everyone can work together, and once the battle is frustrated, it becomes common to blame each other and blame each other. Of course, no one among the patriarchs dared to point out the responsibility to their faces, but it was always inevitable that a gang would come over and complain a few words.

Just like now, the Aditya patriarch united with the other four patriarchs, and the five of them came over to ask Ren Lai for advice.

"Commander-in-chief, we can't stay here all the time and do nothing. We have come this time to bring out all the young people in the tribe, in case someone takes the opportunity to sneak attack, there are only old and weak women and children in our tribe. ”

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, what should we do next? How long will it take to lay down the county seat? You give me an accurate number. ”

Aditya started up, and a few followed. Ren Laifeng's face sank at that time. It's not that I asked you to come, it's that you yourself are willing to come to avenge the Almu tribe, and you are willing to come to the descendants of the Golden Family, what does it matter to me? Want to retreat after a little setback? What did you do earlier? How good is it not to come?

Of course, Ren Laifeng thought so in his heart, and he couldn't say that yet. After hesitating for a moment, Ren Laifeng decided to let Yao Wenlong try it first.

When he first came, why didn't Ren Laifeng let the cannon fight? He was afraid that he would injure the people of the city by mistake! Although the current cannons have sighting devices, but the devils are all on the city wall, and the city wall is only so wide, in case any cannonball flies over the city wall and explodes, won't it cause a catastrophe to the people of the county?

But now that the patriarchs are making trouble, Ren Laifeng also wants to ask Yao Wenlong to see if he is sure that he will not injure the people by mistake.

When the patriarchs heard this, you only remembered to ask now? Forget it, just ask, anyway, it's better to ask than not to ask. We'll go with you. The Mongolian patriarchs also wanted to get a closer look at the advanced artillery of the national army. Ren Laifeng naturally had no reason to refuse, so he took these people and rode to the artillery company.

The artillery company of the Flying Tiger Battalion had a total of six Japanese Type 92 infantry guns, as well as four mortars. The guns are now all undressed and the artillerymen are wiping down the guns.

The patriarchs saw that the eyes of these big guys were green, and they leaned over one by one in a daze and wanted to touch the cannon body at close range. Of course, the soldiers of the artillery company did not let it, and as soon as the patriarchs approached, the vigilant soldiers put their guns sideways, "Stop!" Don't go any further, you'll shoot if you go any further! ”

They have also been spectators in the alliance leader competition and have seen these patriarchs. But rules are rules, and you can't break military rules just because you know who they are.

Ren Laifeng hurriedly stopped the patriarchs and explained kindly: There are regulations for people. Don't say it's you, even me, and I can't approach their cannons casually. Do you see me making do with it? The patriarchs looked at it and saw that this was the case. Come on, we're too impatient. If you don't touch it, you won't touch it, and it's beautiful to look at from afar!

Yao Wenlong ran over to report to Ren Laifeng, and then greeted several patriarchs. Ren Laifeng asked Yao Wenlong, "Wenlong, are you accurate in your shot?" ”

Look at that! Yao Wenlong was stunned for a long time, and then replied categorically: "Accurate!" ”

He is the commander of an artillery company, or a high-achieving student who graduated from the artillery department of the Central Military Academy, what is he not allowed to do in artillery?

"That's right. Wenlong, I want you to shoot a few shots at the city walls and gates of Linxi County. You can't hit the city, but you can only hit the walls and gates. Can you do it? ”

"Yes!" Yao Wenlong's answer was still strong and powerful. Although it is a bit difficult to set the goal so small, it is still the same sentence, those who are difficult will not, and those who will will not be difficult. Yao Wenlong, don't look young, he is an expert in this area! Is it difficult to hit the shell in the designated place? People don't think it's that difficult!

Yao Wenlong personally operated an infantry gun. After adjusting the ruler, the loader loaded, and Yao Wenlong pulled the line of fire, "Boom!" "There was a loud bang, and where the smoke of gunpowder rose, the shells had already been discharged and flew into the distance! Ren Laifeng hurriedly took a telescope to look, and saw a pillar of smoke rising from the gate tower of Linxi County, and half of the city gate buildings collapsed. I don't know how many devil soldiers were killed and injured by the explosion.

"Good! Wenlong played well! Ren Laifeng applauded, "Keep up the good work, and shoot a few more shots on the city tower!" ”

"Yes!" Yao Wenlong agreed loudly, readjusted the ruler, and shot out again, this time hitting the city wall! Good fellow, this is a sharpshooter! The surprise in Ren Laifeng's heart simply can't be expressed in words.

However, it seems that the existence of the sharpshooter against the sky should not exist in the first place. Just when Yao Wenlong fired the third shell, he was smashed in the foot by the rolling shell!
