Chapter 346: Balloons

The emperor didn't speak, Nangong Yu could only push it out silently, about the secrets of the royal family, it was better for him to be less involved.

Fortunately, Chen Ye took back the imperial court's holy decree, and only issued an order, ordering the troops to attack the Japanese camp with all their might. It can also be regarded as a powerful refutation of what the imperial court did.

The Emperor's will is facing the whole country, but many people can roughly guess what the reason is.

Li Shengli, the commander of the third division, was the main combat strength of this Japanese Raid, and he had already won two cities in a row.

Now the third division is in a hurry, but this time the opposite side is hard-boned, and it is more difficult to gnaw.

"These stupid pigs in the court don't know how to do it, let's be so embarrassed, a bunch of fools"

"Don't complain, we can't do anything, let's think about what to do" The staff officer on the side needed to persuade Li Shengli to calm down

Yancheng is the place where the Japanese invaders stationed the most troops, there are 30,000 people stationed in full force, and there are sufficient ammunition and artillery, the walls of Yancheng are surrounded by moats of more than ten meters, there is only one road into the city, and after the Japanese invaders are stationed, the situation inside, there are more transformations, and the previous situation is not applicable.

This time the battle line will be a little longer, and it will take time for artillery shells to support, so you can't just put the shells away, so you still have to cherish them. The best case is that you can know where to prevent the ammunition and food and grass of the Japanese invaders, as well as the deployment of military forces, otherwise this battle may be completely wiped out.

If you want to observe the situation inside, you must stand relatively high, and you can also observe the sympathy inside.

But there are no tall trees or mountains around, so how can you observe the inside? Li Shengli didn't know what to do for a while?

Narrator: Your soldier saw Li Shengli's sad face, and was embarrassed by something.

Li Shengli also asked the people around him, and he was already prepared to ask nothing.

"Do you know how to observe the situation in Yancheng?"

I didn't think of this soldier, I didn't think about it, and I said without thinking: "How simple is that, let's make a large kite, find a light person, take advantage of the strong wind, and tie it up, you can see it." ”

Li Shengli suddenly found inspiration and patted his head, it was really useless, at that time, the prince gave himself a secret weapon, saying that he would need it, why not take it apart and take a look.

I couldn't wait to go to the barracks, and found a box in a remote corner, and after the contents of the bar were spread out, I found that it was a net bag and a ball-shaped thing, and a letter, which turned out to be the instruction manual left by Chen Ye.

With this thing, while it is dark and not dark, quickly let people fly the balloon, and you can see the sympathy information in Yancheng when you stand high in the sky.

With something burning, the balloons began to bulge. More and more drums, many people began to look at the monster in front of them, and it actually began to fly, and many soldiers came out to see this magical thing.

But no one dared to sit on it, Li Shengli was also speechless, everyone could shrug, but he couldn't shrug.

"What's there to be afraid of a balloon, I'll go up." After finishing speaking, he jumped onto the net pocket, and there was a long rope in the net pocket, and if there was any problem, he could go up directly.

After standing on a high place, take a high-powered telescope and see the situation inside Yancheng clearly, and even draw the layout of the inside.

But Li Shengli looked all over Yancheng, but he didn't see the location of the grain and grass.

"Strange thing, why not, impossible?" Li Shengli put down the binoculars and shook his head suspiciously.

It took so much effort to climb up, but he didn't find what he wanted, which made Li Shengli very depressed, and he was a little weak to speak.

He didn't believe that the Japanese had eaten up the grain and grass, if so, the Japanese in Yancheng had already broken through, where could they stay in Yancheng quietly and not move like now, the only explanation was that the Japanese had hidden the grain and grass.

However, Li Shengli's move also made the Japanese invaders see it, and they shot towards the sky one after another, but no matter what the Japanese did they did, they still couldn't move a bit.

Li Shengli thought of a good idea, if he threw a bomb from above, it would be cool and crooked, and he couldn't help but kiss his whole balloon when he thought of it, this thing is a good thing.

However, Li Shengli was ready to wait, and sure enough, he didn't find that the grain and grass turned out to be that the Japanese did not eat, and they all started to eat immediately, and the chimneys began to smoke in the city, and there were so many troops that the chimneys must have asked for more.

By the time it was time to eat, there were more than a dozen waist-barrel-thick chimneys in the entire Yancheng, and billowing smoke began to rise, and he already knew the location of the grain and grass in his heart.

Li Shengli hurriedly drew the coordinates of the grain and grass of the wolf, and the whole balloon began to descend slowly throughout the whole time, it seems that this steam balloon cannot be in the sky all the time.

I thought I could float in the sky and throw earth-shaking thunder all the time, but the time of flying in the sky continued, and the strategy of throwing earth-shaking thunder from the sky was also feasible.

After waiting down, Li Shengli looked at the map and coordinates he had drawn. Draw your own soldiers, infantry, and the deployment of the Japanese on the map.

"Order, all cadres have a meeting, and a meeting on operational deployment," Li Shengli watched himself draw a map, and he already had a grasp in his chest that his army commander was very close to him.

The grain and grass turned out to be in the northeast corner of Yancheng, and Li Shengli was going to bombard it head-on, transfer the cannons, and even if a few cannons were gone, he would also knock out the grain and grass of the would-be robbers.

The morning star in the east has already hung in the sky, Li Shengli looked up, and there was still an hour, and the sky was bright.

After inspecting the artillery position again and patting the cold muzzle, Li Shengli did not believe that he had concentrated nearly 30 red-coated cannons this time, each with 30 shells, and could not blow up a small Yancheng Japanese grain and grass storehouse.

Moreover, Li Shengli was born as an artilleryman, and he was very informative about the location he had written down and the bombardment dispatch of the artillery, and he would definitely kill the grain and grass depot of the Japanese invaders within three waves, and even destroy an arsenal, so that he would make a lot of money.

In fact, many of them are weapons of the imperial court, Li Shengli really hates iron and steel, such a good weapon, he can't beat the Japanese robbers, I really don't know what they are usually doing.

The sun was already above the horizon, and Yancheng glowed golden in the morning light. It's quiet all around.

Artillery positions, now busy all over again. The artillerymen were filling the barrels of the distributed shells, pulling the towing line, and waiting for the order to shell.

"Head, the time is up," Wang Dacang, the commander of the artillery regiment, saw the second hand go to the six o'clock position, walked over, and reminded Li Shengli, who was taking a temporary break in the bunker.

"Let's start, run when you're done." The faint tone makes people feel indescribably careful.

After Wang Cannon came to the artillery position, he raised the red flag in his hand.

"Thirty doors, one reload, one row, two rows, three rows ready."

"Put!" The red flag fell with the movement, and the sound of explosions and the light of the fire in the sky were heard everywhere inside the city wall, and it seemed to be concentrated.

"Boom!" Thirty artillery guns fired a salvo, and the smoke brought out from time to time covered the entire artillery position. There was a loud roar that made the earth tremble slightly.

The ammunition depot actually hit the first wave.

Explosions after explosions. Even a lot of rubble tiles in the city were lifted into the sky, and the entire Yancheng was on fire, igniting the houses, and the smoke was shrouded in the whole Yancheng.

Li Shengli hurriedly let the artillery retreat, and let the horses pull the cannons to retreat, but Li Shengli did not relax his expression, and his face began to become serious, the hardest battle was coming soon.

The smell of rice came from the air, Li Shengli relaxed a little, and after a while, there was a sulfurous temperature in the air, and the fire that exploded in the sky, Li Shengli was a little scared.

But now that it was time for the decisive battle, Li Shengli took a look at the blazing Yancheng and the artillery shelling.

"Everyone gives a death order, you must capture Yancheng, and according to the previous deployment, you can have artillery support at any time!"

In Yancheng, there is no house in the northeast corner that is played, this time the first commander of the Japanese Kou, the face of the commander of the third company Azure is extremely distorted, staring at the blood-red eyes, looking at everything that happened, a little unreal.

"Why can the fire army easily observe our situation and deployment, we have a detailed work here, search the whole city, and would rather kill the wrong one than let it go."
