This note is exactly what it is about that fleet.

Taking the note from Major Rayarag's hand, Instructor Cheng Cheng read it and frowned.

"Rayarag, I think we still need to send scouts to confirm, in case it is really as the note said, the Imperial reinforcements are coming by land, it is estimated that with so many troops, we will have a very difficult time to deal with."

The note had already explained in detail the situation of the blockage of the fleet, but according to the land distance from the blocked location to the county seat, Instructor Cheng Cheng quickly calculated in his mind the fastest arrival time of the enemy.

"Yes, although there is such a powerful artillery now, if we have to face the strength of an imperial army division, it is estimated that it will be a little difficult for us to capture the county town and continue to defend."

Major Layarag looked at the information again, and his brows furrowed.

"I calculated the distance between us and the enemy, and the enemy should arrive before 20 o'clock tonight at the earliest, so we still have time now, or we should take the county seat as originally planned, take the arms in this county town and make the next step."

The reason why Instructor Cheng Cheng said this was because this rebel army lacked weapons, which can be seen from the spearmen who were attached to the ant-attached siege city.

Instructor Cheng Cheng thought for a while, looked at these Type 92 infantry guns, gritted his teeth and made a decision.

"Well, with these good guys, our siege forces can be reduced by half, then divide the troops into two ways, you lead people to use these big guys to continue the siege, try to take the arsenal of this county before the sun goes down, and I will lead the rest of the brothers to ambush on the enemy's inevitable path, and try to buy as much time as possible."

After thinking about it for a while, Major Rayarag also agreed with the instructor's suggestion, but in order to increase his chances of victory, he decided to lead people to block it.

"Yes, but let me lead someone to stop it, after all, you are the highest ...... of this army"

With the help of Type 92 infantry artillery, the siege should not be a big problem, but in the face of a blocking battle of the main division of the empire, it is a riskier task, Instructor Cheng Cheng immediately put forward a request to go by himself, but before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Major Rayarag raised his hand.

Major Rayarag patted the Type 92 infantry gun in front of him and said with a big grin:

"Brother Cheng Cheng, you know this thing better than me, so this siege task belongs to you, I am not wrong to be the supreme military commander, and it is precisely because of this that I have to command this blocking operation. So you don't have to fight. ”

"This ...... Okay, but it should be dark when the enemy comes, and most of the brothers have night blindness, so the difficulty of the resistance battle must be very great, if you can't do anything, you must retreat in time, old fool, remember that the seeds of the revolution are there, don't be impulsive. ”

Seeing Major Rayarag's firm expression, Instructor Cheng Cheng also knew that it was useless to say more, so he had to explain a few words before ordering the guards to open the remaining package.

"Instructor, look, these shells are a little strange."

WHEN THE SOLDIERS OF THE GUARD COMPANY PRIED OPEN SEVERAL WOODEN BOXES, WHEN THEY SAW FIVE 70MM SHELLS NEATLY STACKED INSIDE, THE BARREL-SHAPED SHELLS IMMEDIATELY MADE THE SOLDIERS CURIOUS.

"Ah, this is an all-in-one shell!"

Instructor Cheng Cheng came to the ammunition box, and when he saw this kind of shell, the appearance of a new concept shell that he had seen in the "New Trends in Weapons" column of the Imperial Military Daily immediately coincided with the shell in front of him.

"Instructor, what is an integrated shell?"

The commander of the guard company on the side asked suspiciously, he didn't often pay attention to the information of some new weapons like Instructor Cheng Cheng.

Although breech guns appeared in the artillery of this era, they were all in the style of ammunition separation, and this kind of shell like a rifle bullet was still only an idea in the Blue Flag Empire.

The reason for this situation is not that the military industry of the Blue Flag Empire did not think of making cannonballs into bullets, but the power of gunpowder in this era, if you want to make this kind of integrated cannonball the same as a separate cannonball, then the cannonball must be made very large, so that the cannonball cannot be carried manually at all.

"Wait a minute, you'll know, now hurry up and push these ammunition and artillery to the front line, we have to seize the time to take this county."

When the sun began to set in the west, there was silence on the battlefield for hours.

"Whew!"

"Boom!"

With a sharp whistling sound, an even louder bang exploded less than 5 meters from the city wall, and a huge shockwave immediately spread.

After the smoke, a small crater with a diameter of one meter appeared in the solid ground where the explosion had just occurred.

Although the crater that was still emitting green smoke was not very large, the explosion just now Instructor Cheng Cheng had already seen it clearly in the telescope.

The power of the explosion of this small caliber shell completely exceeded Instructor Cheng Cheng's expectations.

Although the craters seen at this time were not very large, and they were nothing compared to the huge craters caused by those large-caliber heavy artillery, the shrapnel that flew when it exploded just now and the area covered was as high as 20 meters.

In other words, if such a shell hits the top of the city wall, although it will not be able to collapse the solid blue brick city wall, it is almost impossible for the living force within 20 meters of the top of the city wall to survive.

"Okay, with this weapon, it is estimated that it will not be long before you occupy this wall."

The shell just now was just a test firing, although Instructor Cheng Cheng is not very unfamiliar with artillery, and the description of this artillery has clearly introduced the use method, but it still needs to be corrected for test firing.

"Elevation angle adjustment * degree, 5 rounds of rapid fire...... Get ready......! ”

About two kilometers away from the county city wall, five Type 92 infantry guns, each about 20 meters apart, are neatly arranged.

There were five soldiers standing next to each 92 infantry gun, and these were all artillerymen temporarily selected by Instructor Cheng Cheng.

Following the order of Instructor Cheng Cheng, one of the soldiers quickly picked up a 70-mm high-explosive bomb with a fuse from the side.

Another artilleryman, who had already prepared, quickly opened the bolt, and the soldier holding the shell quickly stuffed the high-explosive shell into the chamber.

When the bolt was closed again, the observer quickly adjusted the elevation angle of the 92nd Infantry gun.

"The artillery positions are ready, please give the instructor an order."

Although these artillerymen were temporary, these people screened by Instructor Cheng Cheng had all served as artillerymen in the original army, so the whole preparation process was very smooth.

"All of them...... Preparation...... Put. ”

"Boom, boom, boom......"

With a wave of Instructor Cheng Cheng's big hand, the five small barrels immediately let out a coherent roar.

"Woo Woo ......"

At such a distance, the elevation angle of the muzzle was very high. The shells of the Type 92 infantry guns flew in a parabola at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Unlike other heavy artillery, the muzzle velocity of the shells of the Type 92 infantry gun was not very large, but due to the elevation angle, the curved shells landed on the top of the city wall very accurately.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Five red-thorn flames immediately rose into the air at the top of the city wall, whipping up countless broken bricks and severed limbs.

But that's not the end of it, and in less than a minute, the second salvo has arrived.

The flexibility of the Type 92 infantry gun made the gun body move very quickly, and the two soldiers who were responsible for adjusting the gun body easily raised the gun shovel, adjusted the angle slightly, and the gunners immediately carried out the next round of preparations.

Five shells, each with a killing distance of more than 20 meters, a round of rapid fire of Type 92 infantry guns, a total of 25 shells almost completely covered this city wall.

"After a 15-minute break, the second round of rapid fire covered. The infantry set off immediately, and after the shelling was over, they had to rush under the walls. ”

After this round of artillery volleys, there were hardly any figures to be seen on the entire city wall.

The ensuing attack went well, and by four hours the entire county had completely fallen into the hands of the rebels.

The joy of victory was on the faces of all the rebels, who rushed to rescue the wounded while cleaning up the battlefield.

And at this time, the troops who went to block it also came with good news, although the blocked Imperial Division had been assembled, but they didn't know why they turned around and went back.

"This time it's really thanks to these artillery, but I don't know why these cannons fell from the sky? And how were those Imperial gunboats sunk? Who did all this? Why do they want to help us like this? ”

After counting the casualties, standing on the top of the ruined city tower and looking at the dark night sky, although the battle was won, Instructor Cheng Cheng's heart was full of doubts.

Of course, Mu Jiu and the others, who were thousands of kilometers away, didn't know that at this time, their airship had already come to the sky above Lunan Province, and according to intelligence, their lower part should have been completely occupied by the landing force of the Ji Yan Empire at this moment.
