Chapter 294: Artillery Position

Inside the Irapuato City Defense Headquarters, Juan Perez's eyes were glued to the map, mapping the enemy's position, and he didn't care about today's casualties, because he knew that future battles would be even more brutal. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info This group of Chinese is not easy to deal with, they are no longer dirty yellow people with braids, but a group of real yellow ** ghosts, from the East and also from hell.

"My God, haven't their cannons stopped?" Pérez's assistant adjutant Gonzalez shouted.

"The Chinese came prepared this time." Perez said.

"Don't the Americans care?" Gonzalez Road.

"Americans...... Who knows what they think. Perez complained.

Gonzalez said: "It's a pity that those people can't honestly carry out military orders, otherwise even if the Chinese shell today, we won't have much loss." Those bastards are simply dog mongrels who make trouble for us. ”

Perez didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "You can rest assured, after a few days, once they lose too much, they will naturally obey the order." Now the troops are strong, and they all think that they are very powerful, and if it were not for the total annihilation of Franco's men, I think they would have rushed out at this time. I heard earlier that the Chinese have more than 30 heavy machine guns, which is not less than us, and if they are allowed to defend and we attack, I think more than 20,000 people are enough for machine guns to fire for several hours. It's a pity that our artillery was used in the battle to attack Mexico City, otherwise ...... Do you think I'm willing to defend? Counting on those straggler artillery? Those bastards ......"

"Boom ......"

The earth-shattering loud noise came, shattering the glass of the headquarters, and also causing the people in the headquarters to stagger, and a lot of dust and debris fell on the roof, and everyone looked at each other and didn't know what was going on.

"Raul, are you going to see what's going on? How many pounds of cannon is this, such a big movement, did the Chinese pull a 64-pound cannon? Perez exclaimed.

"Yes." Gonzalez immediately ran out,

Gonzalez and his men ran towards the explosion area, and when they came to the Saint Laurent estate with the cannonballs flying from the sky, they saw corpses on the ground, and several disabled soldiers lying on the ground wailing.

"What's going on?" Gonzalez hurriedly asked, "What about Blanco?" Where is he? ”

"He's here." An embarrassed officer came over with a palm in his hand and said helplessly, "That's all he has, and we won't find anything else." ”

"Blanco is dead?" Gonzalez exclaimed in surprise.

"Not only that, but our artillery was all gone, and the enemy hit our ammunition boxes, which caused an explosion of the ammunition depots." The officer said with a bitter face, "As a result, the entire artillery position, along with the command, was killed in the explosion." Can you believe it? Even God could not have imagined that this would happen, and their shells flew over our positions in the manor many times, but this one fell. ”

Gonzalez hurriedly asked, "Who is the commander now?" ”

"The biggest one is me, Second Lieutenant of Infantry, Your Excellency." The officer said.

"You immediately count the casualties, and then organize the army to save yourself, and I will report to the commander now, and send a doctor to come." Gonzalez said hurriedly.

"Thank you, Your Excellency." The officer burst into tears.

After some specific inquiries, Gonzalez returned to the command headquarters and reported: "It was the madman Blanco's artillery position that was knocked out by the Chinese artillery, and the ammunition depot of Blanco was detonated, causing an explosion." The madman Blanco was also killed, and now their men have suffered heavy losses and the dragons are leaderless. Your Excellency, what do we do now? ”

"Now all the people of Blanco are in command of you." Perez had a sad look on his face, but he was very excited and said, "Blanco will definitely go to heaven, let's mourn for him, Amen." ”

"Amen!" The Catholic Mexicans immediately prayed for the cross.

This madman Blanco is precisely one of Juan Pérez's opponents, but this Blanco did not learn from Franco to lead the army to challenge the Chinese, Blanco's army has infantry, cavalry and artillery, looking huge, but it is very inconvenient to command. If Blanco scattered his army, and fearing that someone else would take advantage of it, his army was concentrated at the Saint Laurent estate, not wanting to be wiped out by a single shell.

Now that the madman Blanco was killed by a shell in his own ammunition depot, Perez took the opportunity to swallow up his army, and it is no wonder that Perez couldn't help laughing in his heart, thanking the Chinese and the shells.

Suddenly, Perez thought of something and shouted: "Let the artillery of Nieto, Corina and Lucero transfer positions, and the Chinese are clearing our artillery positions at fixed points." Heralds, quick, hurry up and let them shift their positions, they must not stay where they are. ”

Unfortunately, Perez's order was given a little later, and only Nieto's artillery survived - it was because Nieto's artillery position was located on the east side of the city of Irapuato, which was very remote, and this was preserved. As for the artillery and artillery of others, they suffered heavy casualties under the bombardment of the Chinese. The artillery could be brought in again, but there was no way to find qualified artillery, after all, all the elite of the anti-government militia were used in the siege of Mexico City.

On the other hand, the artillery positions of the Chinese adhered to the principle of transferring immediately after firing twenty shells, constantly changing positions outside the city of Irapuato to prevent the enemy from finding their artillery positions. However, the commander of the artillery battalion, Li Zuzhi, was a little too cautious, and the Mexicans were no longer able to organize an effective counterattack, so they could only be beaten passively.

Li Zuzhi studied artillery at the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, but he never commanded artillery happily, and after graduation, he served as a gun commander in the battery, and was extremely depressed, so he could only play money and gamble to pass the time. Since he was appointed commander of the artillery battalion, the fish have finally soaked in the sea and the birds have flown into the blue sky.

A little later, the command conveyed a new order to save shells.

Li Zuzhi hurriedly sent people to check the shells, fortunately there were still a lot of shells, but today was the first day of the battle, and the follow-up ammunition could not be guaranteed, Li Zuzhi had to order: "Save shells, pay attention to organizing effective shooting, don't waste shells, focus on the enemy's fire points, and give infantry to non-essential places." ”

The commanders of the three artillery companies, Gao Youcheng, An Yinlin, and Wang Zhi, changed their combat methods one after another, and the artillery shells that fell in the city of Irapuato finally decreased, but the casualties of the front-line soldiers of the Mexican People's Army increased.
