Chapter 137: The First Taste of the Power of Naval Guns

When Shigeichi Hauda stood in front of the trench that was still stained with blood, the corpses of several of the soldiers who had fallen earlier were already placed alongside the corpses of the other soldiers who had been killed.

Takahashi reported to him: "Your Excellency, the detachment of seventeen men in the spearhead detachment, in addition to the four warriors who fell into this trap, six warriors were killed, and the other seven were wounded. ”

"Can you tell who did it?"

"All sides were searched, but no enemy was found. This was supposed to be the position of the Chinese army, but for some unknown reason, it was suddenly abandoned. ”

"Gave up?"

"Yes, Your Excellency. The Chinese army not only abandoned its position, but also laid out this position as two big traps. Takahashi gestured with his hand, trying to explain the location of the two traps and the length of the starting point with Shigeichi Hada.

"Damn the Shina people!" Hatada scolded, "How much damage did these two traps cause to the troops? ”

"Only the jade shattered four warriors." Takahashi Liang replied, and then said: "If it weren't for these four warriors to break the jade, they gave the troops a wake-up call, maybe it would have been a scene." ”

"Cremate them and bring their ashes back to their hometown." Hatada Shigeichi wanted to bring their ashes back to the mainland, but suddenly it occurred to him that most of the soldiers of the two infantry wings in the army he led were Taiwanese, and the mainland would not accept them.

"You said that this was the previous position of the Chinese army, and now they have abandoned it, so where have the people gone now?"

"Your Excellency General, I have already sent a detachment of sharp soldiers forward, and I believe there will be news soon." He knew that Botian would not believe that Sun Yumin's troops would flee in the desert, and he would not believe it himself, but the position in front of him was obviously carefully arranged, but he didn't understand how he could suddenly give up.

"Woo......"

A whistle sounded from the warship on the river, and the loud noise made Hakuda Shigeichi frown. This is the Navy disgusted that its troops are moving too slowly, and they are urging.

"Takahashi-kun, lead the troops to set off, so as not to let people say that we are crawling like snails."

"Hi General." Takahashi bowed respectfully, and then said to a Nakasa officer who followed him and Hata, "Egawa-kun, your brigade continues to be in front. Remember, no matter what the situation, send the spearhead first. ”

…………

After returning from the ambush site, the little girl deliberately avoided Sun Yumin, for fear that he would come to settle accounts with her, but she didn't expect that after coming back, these men gathered in the field headquarters.

This headquarters was dug out of the mountain according to Sun Yumin's wishes. The position itself had been built on an anti-slope, and now it was hidden in the mountains, and the shelling wanted to hit it, unless it was a miracle.

Although the spearhead soldiers were disabled, they had already sent a signal to the defenders that the devil was coming, whether you were ready or not, a bloody battle was coming.

Although he is no longer the commander in charge of this unit, since he has decided to bring these thousands of soldiers abandoned by Zhang Xiaohu to life, what is the obstacle to temporarily taking over the command.

The officers of the 120th Regiment in the headquarters are no strangers to this person wearing ordinary soldiers' clothes, after all, this scar on Sun Yumin's face is the most conspicuous symbol, since the beginning of Luxinan, they have been proud of being a member of the 20th Division, how could they not know their division commander, the famous "God of War"!

"The devil is about to attack, I don't know if you are like thinking, are you afraid?" Sun Yumin is not worried about the brothers he brought, but the officers and soldiers of the 120th Regiment who have not really experienced the bloody battle are his biggest worry.

"Shiza, with you, the emperor of the little devils is here, and we are not afraid." An officer with the rank of major responded.

Sun Yumin smiled and nodded at the officer who was the first to respond, and said: "Everyone also knows that the devils who attacked this time are not good at stubble, and they all know that these brothers who came with me are all veterans of war, maybe you still know them." ”

"I know Chief of Staff Liu, Brigade Commander Li, and Brigade Commander Deng ......"

"I recognize Captain Dong, Captain Dai......"

The headquarters suddenly became lively, and everyone responded to Sun Yumin with gossip.

Seeing that everyone responded positively to him, the smile on Sun Yumin's face became even bigger, he smiled at Liu Jiahua, and said, "Then I will wronged you and be my deputy for the time being." ”

"Uncle, you're laughing, I'm not qualified to be your deputy."

Sun Yumin smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and then said to everyone: "If I temporarily change all of your current main positions to deputy positions, and then resume them after the war, I don't know if you agree." ”

"Master, even if we are asked to fight as a small soldier, we are willing." It was the major officer who responded first, which surprised Sun Yumin, and he couldn't help but look at the man a few more times. As the saying goes, the face is from the heart, and this major's small eyes are almost narrowed into a line, oily and powdery, typical sycophants and the like.

Maybe he thought that he was still the commander of the first division a few months ago, so he would be extremely able to echo it. Sun Yumin laughed at himself, didn't look at the man again, and said directly to everyone: "Chief of Staff Liu will deploy personnel in place, and I hope that within the three-day defense period, everyone will cooperate sincerely to complete this task together." ”

Zhou Shanjun was assigned the task of protecting Sun Yumin, which made him very depressed. What danger can the boss have if he stays in the headquarters, he already has the protection of Xiaoshanzi, why let himself stay in it again, isn't this an extra move?

Sun Yumin looked at Zhou Shanjun, who looked like a bitter gourd, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhou, although the chief of staff arranged for you to be by my side, I am not so expensive, and I don't need two guards." Wait a minute, you can go to the first camp to find it, Dongping pulled him to the first camp. ”

After receiving Sun Yumin's amnesty, Zhou Shanjun was very happy, and ran out directly and ran to the position of the first battalion.

Seeing this guy's elated appearance, Sun Yumin smiled, shook his head, and sighed: "Another natural warrior." He put this young man he liked into his own category.

"Let's go, let's go to the battlefield too." He said to Xiao Shanzi with an envious expression behind him, picked up the medium rifle he had used earlier, and walked out of the headquarters quickly. Liu Wenzhi and Liu Jiahua did not dissuade him, perhaps because they thought that if they would go into seclusion in the future, there would be very few opportunities to participate in a big war like this, so let him experience it again.

Sun Yumin took Xiaoshanzi to the forefront of the position, which was the position of the first battalion commanded by Deng Dongping temporarily.

Seeing him coming, Deng Dongping and Huang Baisheng hurriedly greeted him, especially Deng Dongping, who looked angry and said: "These soldiers have no experience in fighting at all, and they are almost like new soldiers. ”

"Who is born to be a good fighter?" Sun Yumin replied to him, and then said: "Now you are not exactly a recruit, veterans Sun Yumin and Liu Xiaoshan came to report." Xiao Shanzi regarded Xiao Yuying as his own sister, and he changed his surname to Liu instead of Liu.

"Boss, how can this be done, you go to the headquarters to stay, you can rest assured that we are here." Huang Baisheng opened his mouth to persuade.

"You are you, we are us. Just because we are ordinary soldiers, we can fight how we want. After Sun Yumin threw down these words, he took Xiao Shanzi to find a shooting position, lay down on the trench, and ignored Deng Dongping and Huang Baisheng who were following him, until these two people stomped away, he and Xiao Shanzi looked at each other and smiled.

The devils are the first to shoot again, and they found the position on the mountain from a distance, although it is within the effective shooting range, but Deng Dongping did not shoot, to defend here for three days, the ammunition is already stretched, it is impossible to fire a round for these dozen sporadic devils, it is too cost-effective.

For Deng Dongping's decision, Sun Yumin praised it in his heart, war really tempered people, Deng Dongping from a small guard company commander, quickly grew into an excellent brigade-level officer, and countless bullets and lives trained him.

The spearhead quickly turned back, and the Chinese soldiers on the position began to wait worryingly, they didn't see the devil before, and they could relax a little, but now they saw it, they would become nervous anyway, and they would maintain a high level of concentration mentally, and time would become slow.

Sun Yumin crouched on the trench and looked at the shooting angle, sorted out the shooting position, and then sat in the trench, and began to close his eyes and recuperate, he knew that what he did now could not alleviate the fear of the soldiers, so he simply did nothing, and he cultivated his spirit first.

The devil soldiers didn't wait, they waited for the cannonballs first.

The first test firing of the large-caliber naval guns of the devil warships on the river began.

The Chinese soldiers on the position were startled by the strange cries whistling in the distance, and they all looked up at the sky. I saw a rapidly approaching black shadow passing over the mountain, and then falling sharply, landing at least a thousand meters outside the position.

A loud explosion erupted, and a yellow and black mushroom cloud suddenly rose from the ground.

Although the soldiers of the 120th Regiment had seen the shelling, they had never seen such a shocking scene. First of all, the sound, as if the eardrums had been punctured, and many people were still buzzing in their ears after the explosion; Then there was the vision, the huge mushroom cloud that had risen up much higher than the hill on which the position was located; Then there was the shock, lying on the trench, so far away, the soldiers of the 120th regiment could feel the earth trembling, this was only one shot, if it was several shots in a row, or a cluster bombardment, it would be shocked to death if it was not blown up.

Sun Yumin was originally sitting in the trench with Xiaoshanzi, and after hearing the sound of breaking the air, he quickly got up, covered his ears with his hands and squatted in the trench, they were too experienced, these actions were instinctive reactions, and they didn't need to be reminded at all, the soldiers of the 120th Regiment wanted to do this, and they couldn't do it without going through a few hard and bloody battles.

Even if they did this, their eardrums were shaken and hurt, and Xiao Shanzi rubbed his temples and said, "Boss, what kind of cannon is this?" How can it be so powerful? ”

"If my estimate is correct, it should be a 127mm or 130mm caliber shipborne gun, although the caliber of this gun is similar to the army's 125mm caliber howitzer, but the accuracy and power are far superior to the latter." Sun Yumin took the opportunity to explain, and continued: "Didn't Huang Baisheng teach the troops of this company how to defend against artillery? Let everyone not lie on the trenches, wait for a group shelling, and if they are not killed, they will be shocked to death, and you will help teach them how to defend against artillery. ”

After the first artillery test shot, after an interval of nearly four or five minutes, the second shell hit, or a test shot, the impact point of this shell was louder than the sound of the first shot, almost falling against the top of the mountain, and falling like a parabola on the flat ground at the foot of the mountain, although it was closer than the shell just now, but still did not have an actual impact on the position. Especially when everyone on the position squatted in the trenches, covering their ears and opening their mouths, there was no damage.

The soldiers of the 120th Regiment themselves were curious about this legendary division commander, and now after this small anti-artillery means, their worship of him has increased a little.

After the second test shot, there was another pause, longer than the interval just now. As if he understood something, Sun Yumin said to Xiaoshanzi: "You go to find Zhou Shanjun, follow him to find that area, there should be scouts and observers hiding from devils, and kill them." ”

Xiao Shanzi looked in the direction that Sun Yumin pointed to, and saw a large area of overgrown weeds and shrubs in front of him, if someone was really hiding there, it would not be easy to find them.

The area is too big, it is too difficult to find it by himself and Zhou Shanjun, he was about to say his thoughts to Sun Yumin, but he didn't expect him to seem to see his doubts, and said: "You go to find him together, he will quickly find the devil observer who reported the news." ”

When Zhou Shanjun received Xiaoshanzi's notice, he didn't say a word, and took him and slipped down the mountain. Dai Cunxiang had already told him just now that there was an abnormality in that area, and he was just going to take a look at it himself, but he didn't expect the boss's order to come. It just so happens that you can verify whether the two people you trust the most are right.

The two men walked through the grass and searched for a while, but the area was too large to find the slightest. Looking at this vast area, I want to find out when I can finish it.

Zhou Shanjun stopped his steps and said to Xiao Shanzi: "We can't look for it like this, when we find the devil observer, I don't know when we will get it." ”

"What then?" Xiao Shanzi had no idea at all, and when he came, Sun Yumin said that he would listen to Zhou Shanjun, which just saved him from worrying.

Zhou Shanjun stood in place and looked around, except for the green in his eyes, only the sun was behind the sky and there was still a glimmer of glorious clouds. After a while, it will be completely dark, and if you can't find the devil's observers, the position may be seen through by them one by one, and I don't know what the result will be at that time.

The two must find them before dark, Zhou Shanjun secretly swore in his heart. He glanced back at the position, ready to start looking. It was this turn that suddenly reminded him of what Sun Yumin once said to him: If you are really confused, then why not put aside all the cumbersome and look directly at the matter itself.

That's right, why am I looking so aimlessly, in fact, as long as I look at them from the perspective of the devil observers, wouldn't it be easy to find them?

Sure enough, Zhou Shanjun only observed it slightly, and found the most suitable place to observe without being bombed by mistake.

When he took the little mountain cat over, a devil was muttering a string of bird songs.
