It was a cleverly designed bombardment of the Japanese army.

If you give this operation a name, it is really like the password set by Huo Xiaoshan in the dark night, which is called "driving pigs to the pen".

Our Battalion Commander Huo Xiaoshan Huo is an authentic Northeast silver, and the password he set naturally has Northeast characteristics - straightforward and appropriate.

He used his powerful firepower to drive the Japanese retreat at the mouth of the night, and it was good to be able to kill some of the Japanese troops along the way, but his main purpose was to distance himself from the Japanese for heavy artillery bombardment.

You must know that up to now, the suburbs of Changsha, including Changsha City, are all under the top heavy artillery.

** In the past, the reason why the guns were not fired was because the Chinese and Japanese armies were too close, and once the powerful heavy artillery was fired, even their own people did not dare to fight.

Therefore, in the night battle, Huo Xiaoshan first opened the way with box cannon fire, and then charged with light machine guns, just to make the Japanese army unable to withstand the impact and run faster and farther.

Then, just when he felt that the distance between the two sides was far enough, under the unified command of Wei Jianxing's military order, the Chinese officers and soldiers came to a sudden brake.

And the inertia of the Japanese army running because they didn't want to fight at night made it natural for them to run out of the range of the squadron and prevent the squadron from attacking at night again.

So, as the top soldiers of the direct battalion reported after reconnoitring, the Japanese troops retreated to a distance of 2,500 meters before stopping.

At this time, the Japanese army was completely distancing itself from the squadron, and the heavy artillery of the first class could naturally shoot boldly.

Although there are only these eight heavy artillery pieces in the Ninth Theater, the power of the heavy artillery must not be underestimated, and the Japanese army has no heavy artillery this time, so it cannot form a fire suppression of the first heavy artillery.

The mountain artillery and field artillery brought by the Japanese all the way from the north of the Xinqiang River could not resist the eight heavy artillery pieces of the Chinese side at all, because the Chinese heavy artillery was still outside the range of their mountain and field artillery.

The power of heavy artillery is enormous, take those two German-made heavy guns with a caliber of 150mm as an example.

After the explosion of a shell of more than 30 kilograms, the Japanese soldiers could not survive the four-shot shrapnel in a circular area with a diameter of 100 meters centered on the explosion point.

And if the more fortunate Japanese army was within 20 meters of the explosion point, not mentioning shrapnel, the shock wave generated by the explosion alone could completely rupture their internal organs and die.

Even one in a million surviving immortals will have all the bones in their ears broken and become deaf.

This is the heavy artillery, this is the big killer!

Although the other six guns are less powerful except for these two German-made guns, it is completely conceivable that the cannon fire coverage effect produced by the eight guns in unison can be imagined!

However, since the shelling was carried out in the dark of night, except for Shen Chong, who was relatively close to observe and those sharp soldiers had an intuitive feeling, the rest of the officers and soldiers could only applaud from a distance.

The squadron did not know how many casualties the Japanese army would be caused by this shelling, and the squadron would never say that it could not detect the Japanese army.

This is the norm for both sides of the war when it comes to casualties, with each side exaggerating the number of enemies killed and reducing the number of casualties in order to scare the enemy and boost its morale.

Then, as the wheel of history progressed, how the specific effect of this battle finally became an unsolved mystery, leaving room for later people to reason and speculate based on the clues of history, and even spit on each other because of the different views of the pros and cons.

However, there is a consensus among historians in the later exploration, that is, at the time of the shelling in the Battle of Changsha, the Japanese army was gathering troops to attack the squadron at night.

Then the night attack of the Japanese army was disrupted by the attack launched by the squadron, and the Japanese army was driven back and driven to a place where the Chinese could completely bombard with heavy artillery without worrying about their own damage.

No one knows whether those Japanese troops were in a state of assembly or dispersed five miles away from the squadron at that time, but the Japanese army must have suffered huge casualties, but how big it is, it is unknown! Even in the afterlife, it is still unknown!

And what did Zheng Youjian, who played a key role in this battle, do?

What he did was that before the war, at his suggestion, the Ninth Theater Artillery Brigade mobilized the strength of the whole brigade before the war, and carried out detailed geodetic surveys in Changsha City and in the suburbs where artillery shells could reach.

They measured the distances between the various buildings that could be used as landmarks and the artillery positions on Yuelu Mountain, and thus made a punctuation map of 1/25,000, and built a coordinate point for each location.

Then before the start of the war, they even did a proofreading of the test firing of the artillery to ensure that the punctuation was drawn correctly.

In the end, they did their best to pull out countless telephone lines from the Yuelu Mountains to the punctuated buildings, and each telephone terminal was guarded by a special artillery observation post.

When it was time to shell, the observation post only needed to report the coordinates of the position to be shelled, that is, the Arabic numerals next to the circles drawn on the map.

Then, in less than two minutes, the platoon guns arrived, and there was no need for a test firing!

And Zheng Youjian's idea came from the use of grenadiers by the battalion directly under him.

When the battalion directly under the battalion ambushed the Japanese army, as long as conditions permitted, it was through preliminary preparations, and the grenadiers were directly fixed with the firing of the grenadiers, and once the Japanese troops entered the target area, they directly fired the grenadiers without test firing.

The name of the grenadier is called the canister, but its essence is a miniature version of the curved cannon, so although the grenadier is small, the principle is the same as that of the heavy artillery, but the grenadier is more likely to be shot by visual inspection with experience.

In the normal operation of artillery, the artillery observation post first measured the coordinates of the shelling target and then reported to the artillery position to call for fire support, and this process was slow.

However, Zheng Youjian and Wang Shoucheng's approach simplified this process, and the observation post only needed to find out which point the Japanese army was on the punctuation map, and then report the coordinate point.

After the artillery on Yuelu Mountain received the Japanese punctuation report from Zheng Youjian's observation post, in those two minutes or so, the heavy artillery was only adjusting the direct positioning of Zhu Yuan, and then the shell was loaded and the rope was pulled, so an artillery bombardment became so simple and efficient.

The battle was over, and although it was not known how many Japanese soldiers had been killed, it was impossible for the Japanese to launch another attack in the dark.

The "Weihuo Coalition Army" has also begun to retreat, and the soldiers dare not speak out due to military discipline, but everyone's ears still seem to be echoing the rumbling cannonball.

Zheng Youjian, who made unprecedented contributions in this battle, surprisingly did not boast.

He was pondering something, and he even secretly asked Xiao Shi in the dark why that Shen madman hadn't come back yet.

Xiaoshi said, you are stupid, we attack him as a sharp soldier, he will cover when we retreat, and when we get to the position, won't he come back himself?

Zheng Youjian hurriedly said, yes, yes, yes, oh, oh, oh, and then he didn't say anything again.

What he thinks now is that Shenmad will wait for me to catch your shadow, and I will immediately ask you to pick up my daughter for me!

I Zheng Fatzi didn't take care of my daughter during that time, I was busy with my business, I did this thing beautifully or not, but more than a thousand people saw it in the eyes of more than a thousand people, why did you send my daughter to the New Fourth Army?!

Whatever you send, you can bring it back to me!

I know that you have Huo Xiaoshan's little calf behind you to support you, doesn't he just want us to be in the battalion?

But this time I'm not afraid, I'm justified if I make a meritorious service!

If you two don't bring my daughter back, I'll just, I'll just - roll around, cry daddy and cry mother!

I, I, I'm going to kill you!!
