As the only senior artillery officer in the Sixth Division system, Kong Deyi now directly threw down the front-loading smoothbore artillery units such as the First Artillery Regiment and the Second Artillery Regiment, ran up this mountain, and led a group of professional artillery officers to deploy artillery positions and test the shooting of Zhu Yuan.

It can be seen that the artillery unit attaches great importance to these two steel rear-loading guns.

Lin Ziran said: "This follow-up rear-loading artillery suppression shooting is very important, which directly affects whether our army can gain an artillery advantage in the future, Brother Kong still needs to work hard and bother!" ”

Kong De said: "My lord's words are serious, this is all lowly work, how dare you say that it is hard!" ”

To put it simply, Lin Ziran walked to a high-powered telescope that was more than a meter long on the ground and looked at it.

This kind of long-barreled high-magnification telescope is generally used by naval warships, and it is much stronger than the kind of small telescope used by the ordinary army, which is also because the shelling distance is relatively long, in order to be able to effectively observe the shelling effect and guide the shelling, it was specially dismantled and moved from an inland gunboat of the Sixth Artillery Fleet.

If this is replaced by other front-loading smoothbore guns, this kind of high-magnification telescope will not be used at all, and it is better to observe it directly with the naked eye if it is observed with a telescope.

Through the telescope, Lin Ziran could see that on an undulating hill about two thousand meters ahead, the enemy's defense line had taken shape, after all, they had begun to build a defensive position here yesterday, and this day had passed, which was enough for them to build a relatively complete field fortification.

At the same time, a large number of artillery positions were deployed on several hills behind the enemy's infantry line.

And on both sides of the battlefield, you can also see a large number of cavalry units of the enemy army!

Looking at this posture, they are determined to pay attention to the decisive battle with themselves here!

But no, if it wasn't for a decisive battle, how could it be possible to build fortifications in advance, and even deploy artillery positions.

After leaving the binoculars, Lin Ziran said: "I see that several artillery positions of the enemy army are not badly constructed, are you sure?" ”

Kong Deyi: "Lord Qiyu, the enemy's artillery positions are just hastily constructed field positions, they are all simple sand and soil fortifications, and the protection capacity is still relatively limited, as long as our shells can hit accurately, they can still cause damage to the opponent's artillery!" ”

"The distance is not too far, the enemy side does not seem to realize that we have a longer range breech-loading rifled guns, so their artillery deployment is deployed in accordance with the traditional combat method, and the distance from their infantry defense line is only two or three hundred meters, and some medium and light artillery is directly deployed on the same line as their infantry!"

"Now this place is about two thousand meters away from the enemy's most advanced light artillery position, and about two thousand two hundred to two thousand three hundred meters away from the enemy's main artillery position!"

At this time, Kong Deyi said in a very confident tone: "At this distance, our rear-loading guns are where to fight!" ”

On this hill, without the need for a telescope, you can see the enemy's defensive line about 2,000 meters ahead, and according to the armed reconnaissance that began yesterday and continued until noon today, the first regiment has basically figured out several of the enemy's main artillery positions.

According to battlefield reconnaissance information, the enemy's artillery unit consisted of nearly 100 artillery pieces, most of which were five-pound field guns and old-style nine-pound field guns, but there were also about 20 new-type nine-pound field guns and more than 10 eighteen-pound howitzers.

The latter two, with a total of about 30 guns, are the core artillery strength of the enemy, and if they can be suppressed or even defeated, then the remaining enemy artillery is not to be worried.

Because the artillery unit of the Sixth Division is actually larger, there are currently two artillery regiments and two artillery battalions here, including more than 50 new-type nine-pound field guns, more than 20 eighteen-pound howitzers, in addition to more than 20 old-style nine-pound field guns and dozens of five-pound field guns, and the total number of field guns and howitzers is more than 130.

Otherwise, why do you think that the Fifth and Seventh Divisions chose to build a defensive line here yesterday?

It was because the army of the county guard on the opposite side knew that they were at a disadvantage in terms of strength and artillery, so they waited for the attack in order to hold back the Sixth Division and wait for the main force of the First Division to arrive.

Hearing Kong Deyi's affirmative reply, Lin Ziran nodded slightly: "That's good!" ”

After inspecting this rear-loading artillery position, Lin Ziran began to inspect other troops with a vote of senior generals non-stop.

At this time, the big war was about to start, and Lin Ziran had to personally inspect the troops, while cheering up the soldiers, but also to better understand the actual situation of the troops.

At this time, the various units of the Sixth Division were already in accordance with the pre-war deployment, and listed a huge phalanx on the field!

It takes a lot of time for so many troops to patrol once, so Lin Ziran just took a group of generals to ride through the troops!

All the way to the far left of the First Phalanx of the First Legion!

At this time, Wen Zuoxin saw the teacher, the teacher who had personally told Daheng about the past glory and the current suffering in class!

Wen Zuoxin still clearly remembers that when they graduated early from this college a month ago, and then arrived in Pingdan City to wait for the assignment, Lin Ziran held a graduation speech for them!

"For thousands of years, our Daheng has always been the most powerful nation on this planet, expanding its territory for thousands of miles and exterminating countless peoples, and what Daheng's guns point to is a country of submission."

"For thousands of years, no one has ever been able to make us bow our heads!"

"Because we are noble, because we are proud!"

"Fifty years ago, we were the most powerful country on this planet, endowed by the people, our Daheng's unique rural economic model made the world envious and shocked, and our Black Sword Corps swept through the Central Continent invincible!"

"But why?"

"Why is it that now we in Daheng sit on the richest land in the world, but the people are not able to make a living and have no food."

"Why did our Black Sword Corps disappear, leaving no dust behind, so that even a small country in the western part of the country dared to take the opportunity to invade the western territory of my Great Heng!"

"Why did the people of the Southern Wilderness, who were beaten down by us before, hugging our thighs and crying and shouting for their lives, now dare to seize the Endless Strait!"

"You know, for the sake of the Endless Strait, we fought with the damned Southern Barbarians of Orissa for several years, killing and wounding millions of soldiers, but now we ...... Those damn people who only know that they are hiding in the jungle in the Southern Wilderness dare to touch the Endless Strait! ”

"Why?"

"What is it that makes us lower our heads that we haven't lowered more than a thousand years ago!"

"So much so that we, who were once noble and proud, are now reduced to a joke of other countries!"

"Why is this happening?"

"It's all because of those careerists, they are constantly obstructing the unity of Daheng for their own selfish interests, they have created the current suffering of Daheng, if these careerists are not eliminated, the suffering of Daheng will not end!"

"Now, the once noble and proud Daheng has suffered a lot, and it needs someone to stand up and lead it to reunite and stand proudly on top of the world!"

"And these people, that's you!"

"As the most elite talents in the contemporary Daheng, you are born with the responsibility and obligation to fight for the unification of Daheng, and the rise of Daheng!"

"This is a great responsibility entrusted to us by history!"

"Only you, the most elite talents of contemporary Daheng, can lead Daheng to rise again!"

"The road to reunification is difficult, there will be countless people with wolf ambitions who will try to stop us, but will we succumb? Will it lower our heads? ”

"No, never!"

"No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will never give up!"

"Students, we must always remember the mission of our generation, fight for the unification of Daheng, and fight for the rise of Daheng!"

Lin Ziran's words kept echoing in his ears, and then he saw the teacher trotting over, and the standard-bearer behind the teacher held the flag high in the wind, hunting sound.

At this time, seeing Lin Ziran slowly raised the command knife in his hand, he slowly stopped in front of the first step of the corps, and only heard him shouting at this time: "For the unification of Daheng, this battle will be won!" ”

"For the unification of Daheng!"

"This battle will be won!"

Wen Zuoxin shouted loudly, because he used too much force, so that his face turned red, and even now he was eager to immediately launch a charge and defeat or even kill all the thieves in front of him who were blocking the unification of Daheng!

They actually let dare to block the unification of Daheng!

Damn, all damn it!

When Lin Ziran personally went to each unit to boost morale, the artillery unit had actually begun to go out.

At the same time, the two-door steel rear-mounted fire bubbles also began to roar, blowing the horn of war!

After two 75-millimeter steel breech-loading guns opened fire first according to the battle plan, the shells flew for several seconds before landing on an artillery position in the enemy's first line of defense.

This is an artillery position of a new nine-pound field gun of the enemy, and at least more than a dozen new guns are deployed.

Because this artillery position is deployed in the front, and at the same time, it is also a new type of artillery deployed, which poses a great threat to the attacking troops of the 6th Division, so this artillery position is the preferred target for the experimental rear-loading artillery company!

Two shells fell directly on this position, but because it was the first shelling, there was some deviation and did not cause actual damage to the opponent.

But it doesn't matter!

At this time, the commander of the experimental artillery company personally used a large telescope to observe the landing point of the shells, and then corrected the elements.

To a certain extent, Zhou Bingyun, the commander of this experimental artillery company, was not a descendant officer of Lin Ziran, nor was he the group of artillery officers who came over with Kong De back then.

This person used to be Feng Haozhong's subordinate, and he used to play naval guns......

He defected last year and has been serving as an artillery staff officer in the General Staff Office.

This person's artillery professionalism is very high, and even to a certain extent, it is even higher than Kong Deyi, when the experimental artillery company was formed before, Kong Deyi and Wu Guanlin jointly recommended this person to be the company commander.

How to say, this is a real professional artillery officer!

After observing the landing point of the shell, Zhou Bingyun, who was in his thirties, directly corrected the ballistic trajectory and ordered to continue firing!

Sure enough, during the second round of firing, the shell had already fallen directly into the enemy's artillery position, and when the first hit came, it meant that the enemy's artillery position was about to be completely finished!
