Chapter 20: Shocked

Two kilometers ahead, the tank squadron directly under the Tachibana Wing had already driven out of the urban area of Wuxi and was heading towards the headquarters along the potholed road. [No pop-up novel network]

However, poor road conditions severely slowed down the vehicle's speed.

At this time, Tachibana Koji began to regret the indiscriminate bombing of Wuxi City a few days ago, if he hadn't bombed the roads on the outskirts of Wuxi, if the roads on the outskirts of Wuxi were intact, his tank squadron could have returned to help within five minutes, but now, this short road of less than three kilometers would have to walk for at least ten minutes.

Although it was only a few minutes, the uneasiness and anxiety that brought Koji Tachibana were unprecedented.

Originally, Koji Tachibana never thought that the remnants of the breakout from Wuxi would dare to sneak attack his headquarters, let alone believe that the remnants could really threaten his headquarters, but when he saw the battlefield where Matsui's team was ambushed in the city center, and when he realized that he had fallen for the opponent's golden cicada shell plan, his judgment was completely reversed.

This is a formidable opponent with an unbelievable ability to command tactics beyond imagination.

So, when Koji Tachibana found out that the wing headquarters had been attacked, one of his hearts immediately hung in the air.

Tachibana suddenly realized that he had fallen into the opponent's serial calculations, and that ambushing Inoue's squad in the city center was only the first step in the opponent's entire plan.

In other words, the opponent had already targeted his headquarters Tachibana Koji from the beginning, and he couldn't imagine that the ** squadron had already been beaten like this, and the commanders of the other party were still thinking about attacking, and they dared to attack even more

Yesterday, he just finished off his headquarters, and today, he will attack his headquarters in turn.

This is not only a stubborn opponent, but also a fierce opponent, who suffers a loss and will immediately take revenge

In life, it is difficult for a person who will repay him to become a great weapon, but on the battlefield, such an opponent is the most terrifying.

Thinking of this, Tachibana Koji's back felt a chill, this person's insight into human nature, the meticulousness of his thoughts, and the accuracy of his ability to grasp the fighter were simply breathtaking

However, in addition to being shocked, Koji Tachibana was a little excited.

Koji Tachibana has been completely brainwashed by the spirit of bushido, and the belligerent factor has been integrated into his bone marrow, so the stronger the opponent he faces, the more he can stimulate Koji Tachibana's fighting spirit, and the thought that he may use the saber given by the emperor to cut off the head of his opponent with his own hands, Koji Tachibana is so excited that he is angry.

At that moment, Tachibana Koji yelled at the chariot driver, "Speed up, fast"

The driver of the "Hai" chariot bowed heavily and pressed the accelerator pedal to the maximum, and the chariot suddenly sped up and galloped forward with a roar, but the bumps became more severe.

However, the good times did not last long, and the chariot had only been speeding for less than a moment, when suddenly there was a loud bang in front of it, and then the chariot came to a halt with a creak.

"What's going on, where did the explosion come from" Tachibana Koji Huo Ran got up and said angrily, "What's wrong?"

The devil soldier who was standing in front of the lookout hole to observe the enemy's situation immediately turned around and reported: "Wing Commander, the highway bridge in front was blown up by the squadron, and the No. 3 tank guided in front has fallen into the river. ”

"The Nani Highway Bridge was blown up," Koji Tachibana became angry when she heard it.

There is a saying in China that the house leak coincides with rain, which is really the more afraid of something, the more something comes.

At that moment, Tachibana Koji angrily pushed the car door and hurriedly got out of the car, and the orderly hurriedly followed up and blocked Tachibana Koji with his body, but was pushed away by Tachibana Koji.

Tachibana Koji strode to the river, and saw that the highway bridge that had been built over the river had been blown up, and the air was still filled with the smell of fire and gunpowder left behind by the explosion, and the No. 3 chariot that was guided in front had fallen into the river, flooding half of the carriage, and the charioteers on board had pushed the car door and were rushing to the shore.

Akita Shaosa got off the other chariot and stepped forward to say to Koji Tachibana, "Captain, what now?"

The Chinese and Japanese armies have been fighting in Wuxi for seven days, and the devil is already very familiar with the terrain near Wuxi, Akita Shaozo can draw a map of Wuxi in his mind without looking at the map, this blown up highway bridge is a public bridge for highways and railways, and it is also the only large bridge between the urban area of Wuxi and the headquarters of the wing.

Except for this road bridge, the rest are wooden bridges.

The wooden bridge was only accessible to men, but it was absolutely impassable for chariots.

What's more, the squadron blew up the highway bridge and left the wooden bridge for them

Sure enough, as soon as Akita Shaoza's voice fell, two loud bangs sounded not far away, and two wooden bridges not far from the highway bridge were also blown up.

Seeing this scene, Koji Tachibana suddenly turned blue with anger, and gritted the back of his teeth and cursed.

But after scolding, Tachibana Koji was also helpless, he was not a god, so naturally there was no way to let his chariot and army fly over with wings, and immediately ordered the sappers to repair the bridge, and at the same time ordered Akita Shaosa to send an infantry squadron to swim over, and entangle the squadron at all costs to ensure the safety of the headquarters.

Until this time, Koji Tachibana did not know that his headquarters and artillery positions had been lost.

It's not that the devil's correspondent hand is too slow, but the Chinese move so fast that the devil can't even make a farewell call to Tachibana Koji and the division headquarters.

Dividing line

At this time, the remnants of the provisional 79th Division had successfully taken the artillery positions of the devils.

The Chinese came too suddenly, the offensive was so fierce that the devil artillery did not have time to blow up the artillery, and as a result, all the artillery fell into the hands of the Chinese.

"Hurry up, quickly shake down the firing angle of the cannon, hurry up" Xu Ruixing yelled, "Whoever can shoot cannons, those who can shoot cannons will stand up and kill the little devil of the dog day for me"

"Sir, I will, I will shoot artillery" Yang Dashu ran over with a crooked handle, but when he saw more than a dozen field guns swinging out in front of him, he was dumbfounded, he had operated a 60 mortar before, but he had never even seen a field howitzer like this, let alone used it.

At that moment, Yang Dashu scratched his head and said, "Sir, this won't be." ”

Artillery has always been a scarce arm in the battle sequence of **.

** There are more than 200 divisions, and the main division equipped with howitzers is also very few.

A miscellaneous division like the provisional 79th Division will only make trouble with a few mortars at most.

Xu Rui said abruptly: "How simple it is to fight a gun, load, aim, and fire, just like a gun."

"That's a direct-fire cannon, a direct-fire cannon is simple, and you can say it, but this is a curved gun." Lin Feng's figure suddenly appeared on the artillery position, and then said to Xu Rui, "You have to measure the range of the curved artillery first, and then calculate the angle of fire according to the distance, this is all technical work, I have only learned a little bit, let alone them." ”

While speaking, Lin Feng squatted in front of a 75-caliber field howitzer, turned the reamer hard, and in the sound of the gear snapping of the Titicaca, the muzzle of the gun, which was originally pointing to the night sky, slowly lowered.

Xu Rui said hesitantly: "Even if it is a curved artillery, can't it be used as a direct-fire cannon?"

As he spoke, Xu Rui had already shaken the firing angle of a field cannon to a completely horizontal level, and then shook the next field cannon.

While shaking, Xu Rui yelled at the remnants around him: "Why are you still stunned one by one, hurry up and take the handle, shake down the inclination angle of the cannon barrel, and face the devil convoy in front, move quickly."

Lin Feng reminded again: "Lao Xu, the trajectory of the curved gun is parabolic, so there should be some margin, and the inclination angle of the barrel should be slightly higher than the devil's convoy, otherwise the shells will fall in front of the devil's convoy." ”

Xu Rui shook his head and said, "Listen to me, all of them are adjusted to horizontal angles."

Even if it is a curved gun, the trajectory is parabolic only when firing at long distances, and the curvature of the trajectory is almost negligible when firing at close range.

At the moment, the distance between the artillery position and the devil's convoy is even less than a thousand meters.

As he spoke, Xu Rui had already shaken the firing angle of the second field artillery to a horizontal level, and then adjusted the front sight, so that the muzzle of the cannon pointed straight ahead, aiming at the devil convoy, at this time, Lin Feng and the rest of the veterans had already lowered the firing angle of the rest of the artillery, and most of the reticles had been adjusted, and they were all aimed at the devil convoy in front.

Of course, it can only be aimed roughly, and it is impossible to achieve precise aiming like a rifle.

Then Xu Rui opened the cannon door, turned his head and shouted: "Cannonball, give me an ammunition man"

Yang Dashu rushed forward, opened the cartridge box covered with oilcloth next to it, took out a 75 caliber grenade from it and handed it to Xu Rui, Xu Rui stuffed the shell into the barrel as quickly as possible, closed the gun door, and then pulled the cord fiercely, and the cannon slammed, spewing out a fierce flame from the front of the barrel.

Dividing line

"Boom" a shell fell directly on Tachibana Koji's command vehicle and exploded suddenly.

Xu Rui's cannon actually missed, he aimed at the chariot in front, but it hit Tachibana Koji's command vehicle, only to hear a bang, the Vickers chariot imported by the Japanese government from Britain at a high price turned into a pile of scrap metal, and a few devil soldiers who sat in the car and did not get off were also blown into powder in an instant.

Koji Tachibana got out of the car to inspect the road bridge that had been blown up, so he was lucky enough to escape the disaster, but he was also affected by the air wave generated by the explosion and fell to the ground.

"Yaga." Koji Tachibana got up from the ground with a disgraced face, gritted his teeth and scolded, "What's the matter, where did the Chinese get the large-caliber howitzer?"

Koji Tachibana's brain was blown up a little dazed, and he didn't react yet.

Akita Shaozo next to him said with a calm face: "Wing Commander, it's our field howitzer." ”

"Nani" Tachibana Koji suddenly gasped when he heard this, and said in a daze, "Could it be that our field howitzer squadron has already occupied our artillery position?"

Akita Shaozo said with a bitter expression: "I'm afraid so." ”

"Yaga" Tachibana Koji's hair stood up in an instant, and he immediately turned around and yelled hoarsely, "Pass my order, evacuate, emergency evacuation"

However, before Koji Tachibana could finish speaking, a row of cannonballs swept through the air with a squeaky squeak.

The red cannonballs dragged out dazzling tracer lights in the night sky, illuminating the entire night sky, and also illuminating the entire tank squadron of the Japanese army, as well as the Japanese infantry who followed behind. Two kilometers ahead, the tank squadron directly under the Tachibana Wing had already driven out of the urban area of Wuxi and was heading towards the headquarters along the potholed road.

However, poor road conditions severely slowed down the vehicle's speed.
