The calcium carbide lamps hanging on the trees illuminated the surroundings, and by the light, the officers and soldiers on the position were constantly busy, and they lifted rockets weighing dozens of catties from boxes nearly three feet long, and the thin iron plate rolled shell was shining with metallic luster.

"Hurry up, act fast......"

Zhao Yongcai, who was standing on the side, looked at his pocket watch from time to time, and according to the order, they had to complete the shooting preparation within ten minutes.

Of course, there was nothing difficult about it, and the reason why he was so nervous was because this was the first time that rocket artillery had been put into real combat.

How effective is it?

Nobody knows.

After the soldiers loaded all the rockets into the twenty-barreled gun wagon, he personally adjusted the angle of fire of the gun car, and each gun car was carefully checked, of course, he did not forget to check the fare of the rocket artillery. Even each one was scrutinized and then stared at the time on the pocket watch.

When the hour hand pointed to 4 o'clock, Zhao Yong immediately shouted loudly.

"Ignition!"

The gunner, who was standing next to the bazooka, immediately lit the fuse with an ignition rod, and then quickly ran to the rear trench and watched the bazooka from a distance.

When the fire rope burns, it flashes with a dazzling red light, the light is dazzling, in the eyes of Zhao Yong and his comrades, they are like spiritual snakes, of course, when it disappears, it will ...... Suddenly, a cloud of white smoke erupted from the launch tube of the rocket launcher, and in an instant, a fiery snake composed of smoke and flame spewed violently backwards, and at the same time, it transformed into a fire dragon, dragging a fiery red trail, spitting thick smoke and flying towards the sky.

……

In the long trench of the Qing army, those green battalion soldiers were all staring nervously

Lost!

Tong Guozi looked at the battlefield full of corpses in the distance, although it was still twilight, but in the snow, those corpses could still be seen......

He didn't pity those people, but they were just some dead people, all of them were not worth mentioning, and more than a thousand people died, it was no big deal.

But for him, these dead people are very likely to influence the master's favor for him, and this is the most important thing.

A slave who doesn't want to please his master is definitely not a good slave, and Tong Guozi, who asked himself to be a good slave, originally hoped to please his master with this battle, but now it seems that the favor is not successful, but may provoke the anger of the master.

Ay!

Careless......

Just when Tong Guozi shook his head and sighed lightly, just when he wanted to go back, thinking about how to ask his master for his guilt, he saw the rear of the Ming army's trench in the distance, densely packed with flashing red lights, and the red lights were just like meteors, he first saw the red meteor, and then heard its whistling sound.

It's hard to tell, it's a bit like a swarm of bees, sharp and harsh!

Listen to the whistling sound that follows!

Tong Guoxi's heart tightened, he didn't believe that this was a "swarm of bees", the Ming army in front of him would never launch that kind of rocket, that thing was okay at close range, but at such a long distance, it was useless at all, and with guns and cannons, who would use a "swarm of bees".

"Get down ......"

Although he didn't know what was flying over, the instinct to survive still made Tong Guozi scream loudly, and then suddenly got under the wooden shed next to him, and the shed supported by thigh-thick wooden beams was covered with several feet of soil.

The Green Battalion soldiers in the trenches preparing to resist the Ming army's attack also saw this scene. Some well-trained veterans quickly crouched in the trenches with rifles in their hands.

I also have to say that this group of green battalion soldiers is worthy of being experienced in a hundred battles. Know how to defend against such a fierce attack!

They just crouched down

Hundreds of rockets smashed into the long trench of Jiannu.

The huge shockwave swept away all the surrounding protrusions in an instant.

With the continuous explosions, the green battalion crouching in the trench was like a small fishing boat in the waves, pushed around by the blast wave. A few of the Green Battalion soldiers who accidentally did not hold steady were suddenly knocked to the ground by the wall of the trench, and then bounced off the ground, slapped the ground fiercely, and then remained motionless and let the earth wreak havoc on their bodies.

As their main fire support point, the exposed guns where the cannons were placed, although there were dirt bunker baskets as cover, some rockets exploded next to the cannons, and the farther ones were immediately fed by the shock wave transmitted by the bombs. And the closer ones were directly given by the impact of the explosion.

Fortunately, these hundreds of rockets smashed on the positions of those green battalion soldiers at the same time, although they dug long trenches, but their long trenches did not withstand all the explosions, in fact, the first round of explosions did not last long, but only lasted for a short dozen seconds.

But in just a dozen seconds, these rockets took the lives of thousands of Green Battalion soldiers. It's not because they didn't know that the Ming army would use such a powerful weapon, but because they didn't react in a hurry at all.

Although Tong Guo also shouted for people to fall down when he ran into the earthen shed as if he was fleeing, his voice obviously could not reach all the places in the trenches, and only some nearby green battalion soldiers reacted, but the vast majority of the green battalion soldiers did not lie in the long trench at all, they just stood there stunned, allowing the whistling fragments to fly from all directions, penetrating their figures, and the overpressure formed by the explosion compressed the air into sharp "wind blades", which tore their bodies to shreds in an instant.

Although Jiannu dug out the long trench, but the long trench is not equal to the "trench", because the long trench is completely a straight line, without any curve, and there is no "trench" zigzag sawtooth, when the rocket roars down into the long trench, the power of the rocket has been fully exerted, and the green battalion soldiers in the entire trench have been leveled in an instant. The Green Battalion, who were responsible for the operational defense in the trenches, were blown up into the sky by rockets almost in droves.

As the violent explosions ended, the trenches that had already been blown out of the ruins were littered with the cries of the wounded except for heart-rending cries.

The sudden rocket artillery was like raindrops, falling on their heads in a very short time, so that they did not have time to react at all, I don't know how many people were hit by the first round of rocket artillery, just stood there and let the shells fall on them.

This is precisely where the power of rocket artillery is most amazing. Its power lies in this suddenness, this kind of surprise attack that people have no way to react to, and can exert the maximum lethal effect of artillery.

As for the surviving Green Battalion soldiers, they staggered to their feet, shaking their heads hard. Keep yourself as awake as possible.

Several officers of the Green Battalion also got up with weak hands and feet to prepare to count the personnel and meet the attack of the Ming army! In their opinion, the Ming army would definitely attack after their shelling.

"Quick, quick, the Ming army is coming......"

Just as they were preparing to resist the attack of the Ming army, suddenly, another round of shelling began. Dozens of mortars whistled and fired at them again.

"Get down!"

Those green battalion soldiers who originally wanted to stop the Ming army all fell to the ground in panic.

In an instant, the sound of a violent explosion enveloped them once more, and the smoke and fragments of the explosion whizzed around the trench, and anyone who tried to stop him was shot to pieces.

"Ah......h

The wounded Green Battalion soldier shouted heart-rending from the long trench. Many of them lost their arms and thighs in the shelling, and they just lay in pools of blood, letting out heart-rending cries.

The psychological impact of the shelling is far stronger than bullets, and there are stumps and broken arms everywhere, and there are bodies struggling and wriggling in pools of blood, if they slowly lose their life in pools of blood......

As for the green battalion soldiers, who had not yet recovered from the shelling just now, they were lying on the ground desperately, and they just lay there motionless.

With that experience just now, the damage dealt to them this time is not very high, unless it is a direct hit......
