Chapter 1342: Heavy Artillery Shot (Second Update!) )
The military situation was urgent, and after listening to the scout's report, Zhang Yun was not polite, and after glancing at Zhou Wu, the commander of the cavalry battalion, he decisively took over the command of the battlefield and began to give orders.
"You continue to keep an eye on the Japanese puppet army that came over, and report the situation as soon as possible."
As soon as the scouts left, Zhang Yun shifted his gaze to several battalion and company commanders.
"Battalion Commander Yuan, Battalion Commander Zhou, Company Commander Hong, the enemy is about to kill, and I will not be polite to you, and directly arrange tasks for everyone according to the battle plan formulated by the regiment commander."
"The heavy artillery battalion, the chariot company, the cavalry battalion, all divided into four to participate in the battle."
Speaking of this, Zhang Yun first drew a straight line on the map with a pencil to represent the marching team of the Japanese puppet army, and then divided it into four orders.
"A company of heavy artillery, a platoon of armored companies plus a certain number of armed cars, a company of cavalry battalions, and a Japanese puppet army five hundred meters in front of the raid team."
"How to raid specifically, the battle plan is clearly written, I won't talk nonsense."
"The second company of heavy artillery, the second platoon of the armored company, the second company of the cavalry battalion, and the Japanese puppet army between 500 meters and 1,000 meters of the raiding team."
"Three companies of the heavy artillery battalion, three companies of armored batteries, and three companies of cavalry raided the Japanese puppet army between 1,000 and 1,500 meters."
"The remaining troops raided the Japanese puppet army in the last five hundred meters."
"The forward troops of the Japanese puppet army and the troops behind the palace handed over to the troops I brought."
"In addition, I will strengthen an infantry company for each raiding force, follow the cavalry to raid the Japanese puppet army, expand the results of the battle, and collect the prisoners of the puppet army."
"Everyone hurry back and prepare, with my signal flare as the standard, the four raid troops will attack at the same time."
The forward troops rushed to Pingshui Town without any defense.
The terrain here is so good, there is no place for Tibetans to see the surroundings at a glance.
Although it was dark everywhere, because it was not covered, the forward troops could clearly see dozens of meters away.
On the march in such a place, the forward troops were very relieved and did not worry at all that they would be ambushed.
The commander of the mid-lane sweep unit was also a wing commander, walking in the middle of the group.
Before setting out, he studied the terrain of the road.
Where to ambush and where to block, he knew it all in his heart.
If memory serves, after Pingshui Town, at least five kilometers of plains are unobstructed.
On the march on such a road, the probability of being attacked is almost zero.
After confirming that Pingshui Town was ahead, the tense nerves of the wing captain were suddenly relieved, and he planned to take a good rest on this road.
Half an hour later, the more than 5,000-day puppet army all crossed Pingshui Town and entered the battlefield prepared for them by Li Hao.
In a mountain col about three kilometers away, the sixteen guns of the heavy artillery battalion were divided into four, holding the barrels of black holes, pointing straight to the sky.
Next to each gun were a dozen gunners and ammunition men, including gunners who were responsible for adjusting the firing crews, gunners who were in charge of commanding, and ammunitionmen who were specially responsible for clearing and loading......
Three cannonballs with their fuses on the side were placed next to them, ready to be pushed into the chamber at any moment.
More shells were piled up in ammunition pits dozens of meters away, and several ammunition men were careful to fuse them.
A group of four heavy artillery pieces, a company commander under unified command.
Standing in front of the artillery with the command flag in hand, ready to wave the command flag at any time and give the order to open the cannon.
Farther away was the battalion headquarters, where the herald stood at the door, holding the order flag, ready to give orders to several company commanders in the language of the flag.
Inside the headquarters, battalion commander Yuan Qingfeng stared at the radio without blinking, waiting for orders.
"Tick tock...... Tick tock......"
The familiar sound of receiving and receiving telegrams finally rang out, the radio signal lights flashed continuously, and the telegraph operator in his headphones listened and wrote the telegram code onto the telegram newspaper.
In less than a minute, he put down his headphones and reported excitedly: "Battalion commander, command order, immediately attack the 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th shelling areas!" ”
Yuan Qingfeng's eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "Great, it's finally our turn to make a move." Order: One consecutive hit No. 3, two consecutive No. 5, three consecutive No. 7, four consecutive No. 9, immediately adjust the firing personnel, and open fire after half a minute. ”
"Five minutes of rapid fire per gun, then wait for a new order to shell."
"Boom ......"
Almost at the same time, sixteen heavy guns roared.
Orange-red flames erupted from the muzzle of the cannon, and it looked particularly dazzling.
The cannonballs flew out of the barrel under the envelope of flames and flew into the sky with a piercing screech.
"Woo woo woo ......"
When the screams reached the battlefield, the puppet army was still rushing on the highway for more than 5,000 days.
"Enemy attack...... A shell flew towards us, and everyone dispersed and hidden......" The artillerymen walking in the middle of the line were the first to react, shouting in a lost voice.
No one knows artillery better than they do.
Just by listening to the screams, you can know that there are heavy artillery shells flying in the sky, and the lethality is huge.
Under the surprised gaze of the infantrymen, they rushed out of the ranks with a look of great shock, and many of them did not even want the ammunition boxes and artillery parts they were carrying on their shoulders, and quickly left the road, threw themselves to the nearby places that they thought were safe, and lay on the ground with their heads in their hands.
"Boom ......"
Cannonballs rained down from the sky and smashed down the road, orange fireballs soaring into the sky, billowing smoke billowing into the sky under the flames.
In the splashing firelight, many soldiers were blown away, and the goddess flew everywhere like scattered flowers, and when they landed, they had already turned into corpses.
The wing captain walked in the middle of the line, and the nearest shell was at least a hundred and fifty meters away from him.
Although he didn't personally feel the powerful destructive power of the cannonball's explosion, he was still shocked by the huge fireball not far away.
Trembling, he hurriedly turned over and jumped off his horse, and ordered loudly: "The whole army is on alert!" ”
"The artillery will immediately counterattack, it is heavy artillery that attacks us, it is impossible for the Eighth Route Army to only send heavy artillery to deal with us, there must be troops of the Eighth Route Army nearby!"
"The reconnaissance troops are all attacking, and immediately find out the enemy situation around us."
"Boom ......" a violent explosion sounded again.
Compared with just now, this round of explosions is obviously a lot more messy than just now.
Then there was a continuous explosion in my ears.
As far as the eye can see, there are fires rising into the sky almost every second on the roads in front and behind.
Fortunately, at this time, the troops had begun to disperse and conceal, and compared with the first two rounds of shells, the losses of the troops were now much smaller, and they no longer destroyed a large area at one blow.
However, the powerful power of the heavy artillery was still not to be underestimated, and a shell fell down, and the soldiers in a radius of several tens of meters were either killed or wounded.
Even though the team was scattered and the soldiers were lying on the ground, one shell still killed more than a dozen subordinates.
Faced with this situation, the wing commander had no choice.
So far, his subordinates have not come to report the battle situation and the enemy situation to him.
Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles, and if you don't understand the enemy's situation, you don't know how to fight if you want to fight back.
As for the heavy artillery shells falling from the sky, we can only hope that the reinforced heavy artillery units and mountain artillery squadrons of the wing can quickly counterattack.
But they are not ordinary mortars and infantry guns, just find a place to mount the guns and shoot.
If you want to counterattack, you must first find a suitable artillery position, dig a good gun position, and advance the artillery to be ready for shooting.
This will take time, and until then, everyone can only spread out as much as possible and try to reduce the damage caused by the shells.
