Chapter 479: On the Artillery Position 2
Just as Yang Chaoran and your troops were waiting for the enemy, preparing to ambush the enemy, suddenly, in the south, more than a thousand meters away, in the darkness, a burst of cheers broke out, and then, the mountains and seas were overwhelming, and the Japanese infantry group launched a surprise attack.
Charge at the county seat.
The county seat had been bombed for a long time, and the city walls had collapsed and were in a mess.
The front-line infantry of the devils thought that the artillery was armistic, and it was time to charge, or they received an order that they could win even if the artillery bombardment was not enough.
Anyway, the enemy charged.
Yang Chaoran was resting with the soldiers of the reserve team, waiting for the fighters, when he heard the boiling sound of the enemy, he hurriedly took the telescope to watch.
Hehe, see clearly.
The little devil actually uses flares!
More than a dozen flares were raised one after another, illuminating the city walls and gates in the north of the county!
The Japanese troops also saw it clearly!
So good?
Yang Chaoran was overjoyed, and immediately commanded more than thirty soldiers to adjust the firing angles of several cannons.
Lower it a little.
It turned out that the aim was at the county city wall and city gate, extending some, and when they arrived in the city, the Japanese artillery shells were so powerful that they had already collapsed a large number of houses, and the flames were ignited, and there was a mess everywhere.
On the city walls, there was silence.
According to Yang Chaoran's tactics, defending the city was a matter of a few people, scouts and sentinels, and most of them went to the underground tunnels of the county town to take refuge, which was to prevent enemy artillery fire and poison gas.
One trick to eat all over the world!
It can minimize the casualties of our army and protect the living forces.
Yang Chaoran checked every artillery fire.
Four field guns, four mountain guns, all of 75 mm caliber.
There are also two infantry guns, and it seems that the area around the north gate is the direction of the enemy's main attack.
Yang Chaoran is still very familiar with artillery fire, especially this ancient hand-controlled artillery fire.
Four doors were quickly adjusted.
It's too late for the rest.
Because, the enemy has rushed to the vicinity of the city gates.
Adjusting an artillery fire requires a certain amount of military literacy and artillery knowledge, and the people around Yang Chaoran are randomly selected to be used as reserves, where do you know what artillery fire?
So, simply, Yang Chaoran decided to fight in layers.
Using a flashlight to illuminate the artillery fire, Yang Chaoran instructed everyone how to load the shells, how to do continuous operation actions, blast the shells out, and at the same time, he also paid attention to protecting the ears, etc., as well as the next step, the preparatory action for the second shot.
Everyone went their separate ways.
Anyway, the cannonballs are around, right at our feet, and the devils are ready for us.
Some people, who were villagers, used cannons for the first time in the war, and they were so happy that their souls flew.
Now, you can brag when you go back.
Blow up the devil with a cannon to relieve hatred.
Besides, we're so far away from the devil, we're safe, haha.
Regardless of the others, which group is ready, and several fighters have a tacit understanding, they can shoot.
In this way, several cannons, fired one after another.
Boom, boom, boom.
Not to mention, it's amazing!
At this time, the Japanese army had already charged to the city gate, and some rushed into the city, climbed into the city wall, and occupied the commanding heights.
More soldiers, still in place, or on their way to charge.
The artillery fire has been adjusted in place, and the onslaught in the charge towards the enemy has been adjusted.
It's slow, it's just starting.
However, the density of the enemy's charge was still enough.
When a shell explodes, seven or eight devils are killed and wounded.
Yang Chaoran was busy, looked at the enemy, under the flares, the enemy's infantry charged in clusters, which were vast and endless, were shrinking from the shape of the fan to the middle, most of them, to enter the city gate to charge, and a few, crossed the moat, climbed the collapsed city wall, and attacked directly.
Yang Chaoran was crazy, happy crazy: "Quick, don't adjust, just boom, boom, boom!" ”
He personally commanded a field gun and bombarded the enemy.
There's no need to adjust, no, isn't the devil entering the city gate? Not on the city walls?
Already in town?
We don't need to adjust our cannons, just bombard.
Soon, at his instigation, the remaining four cannons also bombarded the enemy.
Eight cannons bombarded the enemy.
On average, there are four fighters per cannon, and some have only three.
It doesn't matter what other observations, corrections, nonsense, it's a bombardment, and hitting the shells out is victory!
These recruits don't understand anything.
It was a blast for several minutes.
The remaining shells here are almost a third of the time!
Basically, one artillery fire, four rounds in a minute.
Rapid-fire is inferior.
Artillery, with mature skills, six rounds a minute!
However, this thing's cannonball is big for him, and it is very powerful.
More than 150 shells were fired out.
It's hitting the heads of the devil's infantry clusters.
It was crackling, smashing, devils, chickens, dogs, jumping, dead and wounded everywhere.
Countless devils were torn apart by shells.
The devils in the area of the city wall and the city gate were even more miserable, not only did the shells bombard the devils, but the bricks and rubble from the bombing also flew up, forming a strong secondary damage.
Today, the devil is charged with two squadrons of infantry.
The specific number of squadrons is inconsistent, two today, there are more than 320 people, and there is a large area of black pressure.
Moreover, seeing that under the flares, there were no enemies on the city walls, and behind these devils, another squadron was added, anyway, let's go into the city and sweep it.
The total strength of the army, close to five hundred.
As a result, most of the dead and wounded were bombed!
According to the post-war assessment, more than 150 Japanese soldiers were killed in the bombing, some died on the spot and were seriously injured in a coma, and the rest more than 200 were wounded!
The Japanese suffered extremely heavy casualties.
What Yang Chaoran and the others didn't know was that when they were shelling, a lot had changed on the side of the Japanese army.
It turned out that the Japanese army mobilized an infantry squadron, plus a guard squad of the headquarters, and under the leadership of a captain, went up to the artillery position, and on the other side, there was also a cavalry squad coming this way.
Yes, there is no problem with the artillery, we are careful.
However, on the way back, I saw something wrong.
How do you mess with shells?
So, the captain, with a dozen people, immediately rushed to the artillery position.
The cavalry was fast, and the other Japanese cavalry squad was back.
They are on the west side.
The commander of the cavalry squad received an order to check the situation of the artillery position, and since it was all right, let it go.
He also didn't look at the fighting in the south and needed a telescope to see it.
Listening to this deafening artillery fire, the mood is very refreshing. Paralyzed carelessness.
Directly entering the encirclement of the artillery positions was a lieutenant and a dozen cavalrymen of the enemy.
As a result, they are backlit positions.
They had come from the south, and there were a large number of flares in the background, and although they were far away, it was clear to the Chinese ambushers.
It's just that the details of the face can't be seen clearly, only the pitch-black outline of the human body.
However, the devil looks at the north, as long as you lie down, he can't see it.
The devil cavalry rushed directly.
It's time to get to the front.
Immediately, an ambush soldier stood up: "Baga, Baga, stop, stop!" ”
These words are in Japanese, and I learned them from Yang Chaoran.
