Chapter 569: Artillery Fire Approaching the City II
"Climbing the ridge again? Gotcha, catch Ming'er and put a few sedan chairs on the city wall! ”
I heard that I had to run two miles to climb Huanxi Ridge again, and several fat generals were full of bitterness.
"The generals have been negligent in military affairs all the year round, and they don't know what they say; As the so-called cannonballs have no eyes, although the Japanese are bombarding the three cities outside the Guan, it is not unusual for the cannonballs to fall into the main city, in comparison, it is still Huanxiling and Jiaoshan away from the artillery fire, which is safer. ”
Yi Shunding shook his head and explained the confusion to a group of Hunan and Chu veterans to show that he was good at war.
"Paralysis, your grandfather is not an idiot and can not understand this truth; Grandpa doesn't want to run away, just your grandson shows his ability, right? I heard that He Changying beat you, yes! But it seems to be really light. ”
A group of Xiangchu generals scolded in their hearts, spread their legs, and rushed towards Huanxi Ridge.
"Boom-"
Heaven and earth changed color like a storm, and the surging roar suppressed all sounds.
After a short test firing, three artillery wings of the Japanese army, with nearly 100 artillery pieces of various types, began to launch a fierce artillery bombardment on the three cities outside the Guanwai.
Wherever the artillery fire went, the storm changed color, and the huge shock wave generated by the explosion of gunpowder stirred up the wind around the three cities outside the gate.
The air was full of choking heat and smoke, and the breath was a hot pain in my throat.
The long dragon under the feet of all the veterans was trembling slightly, and the city bricks that had not been repaired for a long time were like an allegro in the hands of a storyteller, trembling up and down.
"Woohoo—"
From time to time, one after another, high-fired shells crossed the three cities outside the pass, crossed the Great Wall, and bombarded the back of the pass.
A grenade bomb happened to explode above the camp of the Fengzi Army, shattering the group of Qing troops below, dripping with blood, and seeing it as terrifying.
"Such frenzied artillery fire? What kind of cannonball is this, so evil! ”
At this time, Wu Dacheng, who saw the power of modern artillery for the first time, finally changed color; Thinking of his own words just now, he couldn't help but have a blood-red face.
With such a dense and terrifying and accurate artillery bombardment, if he really led his troops to attack the Japanese position, it is estimated that he would not have rushed to the ground, and he would not know that hundreds of thousands of sons and daughters had died from this pouring artillery fire!
Fortunately, at this time, everyone was desperately running eastward, all of them were full of tremors, and they were tired and sweaty, and their faces were bloody, but they couldn't show the special features of Wu Dacheng's face.
Finally, a group of veterans ran to the Great Wall facing Dongluo City in the east, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, and their steps suddenly slowed down a lot.
It's just a young man who runs six or seven hundred meters like this in a row, and he will be exhausted.
What's more, these veterans who have been pampered for decades, began to play with girls, smoked big cigarettes, and those wastes who relied on their fathers to be in the shade, were not diligent, and did not distinguish between grains?
"Paralys, tired Lao Tzu, I'm not leaving; Now I don't believe it, its cannonballs can grow eyes and blow up grandpa! ”
The Fushou Army is divided, and Tao Weiquan, a fat general with a fat body, is really sweaty and can't run.
Moreover, he saw that most of the shells fell on the three cities outside the pass, blowing them into a pulp, but only a few shells crossed the Great Wall and exploded into the pass.
Moreover, now that he has run to the edge of Qidong Luo City, he will run three or four hundred meters further to Huanxi Ridge.
So Da Tao Weiquan, who felt safe, simply sat on the city bricks, and didn't want to get up again.
"Whoa—"
One shot high, missed the high-explosive bomb, screamed high over Dongluo City, and blasted towards the Great Wall of Shanhaiguan.
"I don't believe it, grandpa doesn't believe in this evil today!"
Tao Weiquan, the commander of the Fushou Army, sat on the city bricks panting, leaning his neck and roaring, his voice full of trembling.
"Boom, ——,!"
This 105mm caliber high-explosive bomb accurately hit the battlement of the Great Wall more than 30 meters behind Tao Weiquan, gathering a large dazzling flame, and then the bullet continued to shoot obliquely, hitting the ground of the city wall.
“——”
The violent kinetic energy directly lifted all the city bricks on the surface of the Great Wall high, and in the monstrous roar, mixed with sharp shrapnel, the city bricks shattered like jagged stones, and shot towards the sky.
"Whew-"
The smoke and dust that flowed along the long dragon spread violently to both sides.
"Mom!"
Tao Weiquan relied on the shadow of his father's generation in his family, and his family was rich and boundless, walking dogs and chickens on weekdays, wandering around the Qinglou gambling house and wine shop, except for receiving dozens of officials carrying bird commanders, and teaching several farmers who resisted donations several times, he never went to the real battlefield.
Where have you ever seen such a terrible shelling, and where do you know the slightest basic common sense of avoiding artillery?
Tao Weiquan felt the Great Wall shaking like a giant dragon turning over under his buttocks, and saw the flames and smoke rising more than 40 meters away, and he screamed in fright, and was about to stand up and run away.
"Don't stand!"
"Get down!"
The group of Qing generals who ran to the front and looked back in a panic saw the amazing scene, and they all changed color and yelled to remind Tao Weiquan.
However, it was already too late!
When Tao Weiquan's buttocks left the ground and his body rushed up suddenly, the grand sonic boom shockwave 'hit' his body fiercely, smashing Tao Weiquan's body like a giant tree.
In an instant, the eardrum cracked, the eyeballs were bloodshot, the nostrils were bloody, and a large mouth opened up, and a bloody arrow flew out.
"Whoosh-"
Almost at the same moment, a piece of shrapnel that swirled at high speed shot heavily into Tao Weiquan's head.
Just like under the scorching summer sun, a hammer is used to hit the ripe watermelon that is exposed to the sun, and with a 'pop', it shatters into countless red, red, white and white fragments, and scatters them all over the sky.
"Whew-"
Immediately, the howling wind and heat wave wrapped in smoke and dust, blowing Tao Weiquan's body off the ground.
Then completely hidden.
Tao Weiquan is dead!
All the generals are terrified!
"Whoa—"
Another shell was fired high by Japanese artillery, screaming and rushing towards the Great Wall of Shanhaiguan.
"Run!"
This time, there was no need for Liu Kun to shout, all the veterans of the Qing army took out the strength to eat milk and fled towards Huanxi Ridge.
It's horrible, it's scary!
South Water Well.
When you waited for the 'damn' telegram, you didn't have the slightest mood to stay in the Madian headquarters anymore, and rode a fast horse to the south well in the midst of the rumbling artillery fire.
At this time, the entire three cities outside the gate were filled with dust and smoke, and it was impossible to see everything inside.
However, looking at such a concentrated artillery salvo, the tragedy inside can be imagined.
"Yo Xi, the accuracy of the artillery is good, greatly good!"
Youpeng of Shan County raised his binoculars and looked at it for a while, and saw that nearly seventy percent of the shells had exploded into the effective area of the three cities outside the Guanwai, and he immediately praised happily.
Hearing the commander's praise, Kuroda Hisataka couldn't help but show a slight sense of self-satisfaction.
"Kuroda, order the 3rd and 5th Artillery Wings to carry out extended bombardment, targeting the main city of Shanhaiguan and its surrounding areas; The 1st Heavy Artillery Wing continued to use high-explosive shells and smashed all the turtle shells in the three cities! ”
Shan County Youpeng put down the binoculars and said: "Since Yamaguchi said that the reinforcement army has made a lot of anti-artillery bunkers, the damage of grenade shotguns is limited after all, and then attacking the three cities outside the pass, it is also necessary to beat the Qing army in the main city of Shanhaiguan to be completely frightened!" ”
