Chapter XVII

Several members of the artillery crew quickly loaded the second shell within 30 seconds, this time with a "bang", the shell successfully ignited, and flew towards the target ship in the distance, and soon a high column of water rose next to the target ship, followed by a loud "boom" sound. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhong Bin was excited now, he still deeply remembered that his guns, at most, only fell into the water at a distance of 150 meters, and the accuracy was very bad, so he could only fill it with all kinds of iron sand, broken copper coins and even sand and gravel as shells to strafe the opponent's deck when approaching the enemy ship, if you use iron balls, you can bombard the side of the opponent's ship, but it is just a bullet and a hole, and there is no collateral lethality. However, the spring cannon that the chiefs had made him scoff at a few minutes ago was able to accurately hit the small sampan that was no more than two meters or so after flying four hundred and fifty meters, and it could also explode. This means that the Chunxiao, loaded with this cannon, can easily swim out of the enemy's range on the surface of the South China Sea, and quickly and accurately use this flowering bullet to tear apart the enemy's hull, allowing them to all go to the sea to feed Wang Ba.

He suddenly felt that he was so lucky, he had been crisscrossing the South China Sea for so many years and had not encountered the Senate Navy, and in the end, although he was bombarded by the warships of the chiefs, he could still stay alive, and at this time he could even join this navy as a naturalized naval officer of the Senate. At this time, Zhong Bin felt that he was suddenly full of confidence, and he was confident that he could become a sharp sword in the navy under the command of the Senate, even though he had always been a pirate who was obsessed with plundering.

At this time, the army soldiers on the shore on the side were all standing on the spot, they all knew that the army artillery is now equipped with flying thunder artillery, not long ago they visited the test firing of the flying thunder cannon, they thought that the flying thunder cannon can blast such a fat round cannonball out of 350 meters is already very incredible, but just now the navy's water shoes can actually fire the shell 450 meters away, it seems that it can be fired farther.

The artillery crew fired three more shells, all of which successfully hit a range of about three meters near the target, Yang Junbo happily held his navy-type telescope to look at the results of the shooting just now, the target ship that was gently undulating in the waves before was already miserable at this time, the wooden plank erected on it was cut in half by the flying shrapnel, the red target circle had been pierced through several holes, the hull had probably entered the water, and the bow of the ship was slowly raised. Yang Junbo called Zhong Bin, handed him the binoculars, and asked him to see the results of the shooting just now.

Zhong Bin took this thing that he didn't know what to do with suspiciously, and put the eyepiece in front of him according to Yang Junbo's posture just now, and just like this, he jumped back in fright, and threw the telescope out. Fortunately, this telescope has always been hanging around Yang Junbo's neck, otherwise it might have been broken on the spot. "Chief! This is a demon law! This is a demon law! Zhong Bin didn't see Yang Junbo's movements of catching the telescope in a hurry, but just retreated to three meters away and pointed at the telescope and shouted, while his feet were still trembling.

"!" Yang Junbo was a little angry, and kindly let him see the shooting effect but almost broke the telescope he brought from the old time and space, this thing is an original and genuine US Navy telescope, it took him more than 6,000 to buy it, for this telescope, his girlfriend quarreled with him and broke up. At this time, he hurriedly checked up and down and didn't see any damage, and when he looked up and saw Zhong Bin's pale face, he couldn't help but laugh. "This is a telescope that is used to see the enemy in the distance, which is especially useful in naval operations. You come here. ”

Zhong Bin walked over suspiciously at this time, carefully looked at the telescope for a while, and tossed according to the chief's operation, and sure enough, he saw the undulating target ship in the distance. The target ship in the telescope was so clear that it seemed to be as close as he could reach out, and he suddenly felt a chill welling up on his back. Are all the patriarchs of this Senate descending from heaven? There were so many secret techniques that could make the slightest inconspicuous thing exert so many unbelievable thaumaturgy, which made him feel that the Senate must not be betrayed, otherwise he would not even know how to die.

…………………………

As night fell, the soldiers in the barracks south of Vostokhart were very excited, and the first battalion of the army in the Senate had just been issued with a new Type 1628 rifle, although it was somewhat similar to the monkey version of the rifle in appearance, but it was completely different from the monkey version of the rifle in terms of internal structure. First of all, the most important thing is naturally the rifling in the barrel, these rifles are not hammer-forged barrels, but directly use seamless steel tubes brought from the old time and space, the quality of which goes without saying; The second is the bullet used, the 1628 type 12 mm copper shell shell uses a copper shell, an embedded fire cap, a lead warhead, and the air chamber at the bottom of the lead warhead will expand after firing, so that the lead bullet wedges into the rifling and rotates, ensuring that the bullet can accurately hit a target with a diameter of one meter at a distance of 500 meters, and some of the rifles can even reach a target with a diameter of 10 cm at a distance of 500 meters.

The soldiers of the 1st Battalion had tested the rifle in the afternoon, having previously trained on the rifled version of the Senate rifle, and at this time the Type 1628 rifle with fixed ammunition far surpassed the rifled version of the Senate rifle in terms of loading speed and accuracy, and they simply loved it.

At this time, they had already received an order to leave the camp tomorrow morning and go to Wenjiazhuang to participate in the encirclement and suppression mission, before which the political commissar of the company had already told them how Wen Xinyi of Wenjiazhuang had forcibly plundered the personal property of Yancun and many poor people in the surrounding area by bribing the book office to revise documents. These soldiers were basically poor peasants, either long-term tenants or short-term laborers. Long-term workers are better, at least there can be fixed meals to eat, but short-term workers often have to work to eat, and it is normal to encounter the master's family to cheat or even starve for a few meals, as for the tenants, it is even more miserable, the landlords' land is often subject to all kinds of exploitation, and the big buckets are good in and out of the small buckets, and often the sixty percent of the year's harvest must be returned to the people, and if the harvest is not good in case of natural disasters, it is common to starve to death. They have a natural sense of hatred for this kind of exploitation of the poor people, and at this time they are nurtured by the political commissars every day, not to mention, they all have high morale and shout, saying that they must fight bravely in this operation, and vow to fight to the end against this kind of landlord and old wealth who take pleasure in exploiting the common people.

At this time, the office of the Executive Committee was brightly lit, and a large circle of people sat in front of Yang Minghuan, who were working on the post-war distribution of Wenjiazhuang.

"Wu'an Village is located near the border between the south of the Wu Dynasty and Annan, and it contains many outlaws from the Wu Dynasty and Annan, Wen Xinyi usually raises these scum to use as thugs, but their combat effectiveness is completely negligible." Li Jieqi had an open folder in front of his desk, and he was talking about it while looking at the documents. "The outside of the village is a wall of about four meters, the outside is a masonry structure, and the inside is rammed earth, this structure is not particularly reliable, especially at this time and space, the indigenous people have no cement, and the glutinous rice juice will definitely not withstand much bombardment. After three days of observation, the population of the village was about 400 to 500 people, including women and children, and special care should be taken to reduce the casualties of women and children during the battle, which had a great impact on the image of our Senate. ”

"The attack plan is like this, we will dispatch two companies, the first company and the second company of the first battalion, a total of 200 regular troops, to encircle the east and south, and the first and second sniper teams of the special reconnaissance team are responsible for directly killing the armed personnel of Wu'an Village who are trying to jump over the wall and escape in the north and west.

"Then," Yang Minghuan interrupted Li Jieqi's words, "Tomorrow Du Yande's executive committee will go together to participate in this village-breaking operation, and there are also 20 personnel from the Planning Commission, and you must also protect their safety." ”

"That's fine." Li Jieqi quickly nodded in agreement, although Du Yande is not the best choice, but an executive committee member who has been a soldier and participated in military operations with real guns and ammunition is always more reliable than those who are liberal arts students or farming executive committees. "In addition, we have mobilized 200 militia and 75 militiamen from Yancun Village, who will not be involved in direct combat, and whose mission is to protect the safety of non-combatants and artillery units, as well as to clean up the battlefield and control prisoners after the break."

Du Yande nodded on the side and said, "It's not that the militia can't participate in the battle, but you have to pay attention to the casualties, the militia is not a regular army, and the casualties have a great impact on their morale." ”

"Okay." Li Jieqi nodded, "Tomorrow I will follow to command, and Dongfang Port will ask Comrade Xiao Mingwei to directly command." ”

Although Xiao Mingwei is in his fifties, the style of a soldier is fully revealed in him, although Li Jieqi, who issued the order, is almost 25 years younger than him, but he still got up neatly, saluted all the executive committee members and military members around him: "Guarantee to complete the task!" ”

Cheng Jun stood up at this time and introduced himself to everyone, "I am Cheng Jun, the person in charge of the Planning Commission, and tomorrow I will lead the material receiving team to Wu'an Village to wait for the reception work after the battle is over." ”

Everyone nodded, and just as Cheng Jun sat down, another person stood up, "I'm Wu Di, and now I belong to the Navy, and I hope to be able to lead the first platoon of the Marine Corps to participate in the attack on Wu'an Village." ”

Several army veterans who were drinking tea directly squirted out the tea in their mouths, and Li Jieqi was the first to jump up to object, "No, you are from the navy, and the place where this battle is going on is inland, and it is not a battle for the navy, you don't need to participate in the war." ”

Li Jieqi has been hating Wu Di lately, and this Wu Di has been bent on promoting his Marine Corps program since the establishment of the navy, and often competing with him for new recruits. By this time the Marines had formed a company of size, and although they were still armed with obsolete rifled senate rifles, they were screaming and singing warriors' songs all day long, and the grenadier march of their infantry was a little overshadowed. Not to mention that Xue Ziliang, a genuine veteran of the US Marine Corps, also participated in the first company of the Marine Corps at this time, isn't this a slap in the face of the Army? No matter how good the horse is, the army has to fight the world!
