Chapter 0039 Baptism of Fire
Although the winding mountain road is ten miles long, the straight-line distance is only three or four miles. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Such a distance is condescending, Xu Lie casually took out a cannon from the system, and he could make the Qing army unable to eat and walk.
Of course, this is from Xu Lie's point of view.
From Yuxian's point of view, when the bandits saw such a tight imperial army, they had already panicked, and if it weren't for the obscenity of the bandit leader, they might have collapsed a long time ago. Ah, no, bandits can't be called defeated, because bandits have never been armies.
In short, because of this idea that the bull's head is not in the horse's mouth, this afternoon and the following night, the line from the calf village to the salamander village, although the army is thousands, but it is safe.
The next day, as soon as the sky dawned, the Qing army camp was full of drums and horns, and groups of troops lined up in a phalanx, starting in front of the camp. At the same time, in Xu Lie's telescope, the Qing army launched 6 artillery pieces with extremely thick barrels.
This old gun, using spherical shells, looks like a very thick barrel, but it is not very powerful. If Xu Lie guessed correctly, the 6 guns launched by the Qing army belonged to the six-pounder gun, that is, the kind of shells of 2.5 kg, and the caliber of the muzzle of the six-pounder gun with spherical shells was 95 mm, while if the modern artillery was switched to modern artillery, the caliber of the six-pounder gun was only 57 mm.
Thinking of this, Xu Lie remained silent and saw what kind of moths the army could make.
The Qing army lined up and then rolled out six six-pounder guns. The soldiers who stood in the square did not make any moves, they moved the artillery first.
I saw some people who began to pad the soil for the gun carriage, some people were constantly measuring the position, and some people carried a lot of baskets, in which were shells one by one. Nima, wouldn't this be a little too far behind? Xu Lie couldn't help but worry about the Qing army.
Then, seeing a man who looked like a commander waving the flag incessantly, everyone hurried up and down, and finally, I saw six of the soldiers, holding a torch in their hands, walking behind the cannon and standing.
"All soldiers, enter the trenches at once! Order the other departments, immediately transfer to the back mountain! Xu Lie shouted loudly in fright. Mao, although it is a backward artillery, it still blooms with shells.
About a second or a dozen seconds, when a platoon of soldiers all entered the trench, only to hear the roar of the mountain...... Qing Junhao opened fire without hesitation, and at the same time, he opened fire without any purpose.
The transfer of the back mountain is close to the dense forest of the main peak of Baoqian Mountain, and in that place, the Qing army's artillery basically can't hit it.
Of course, in Xu Lie's telescope, the first thing he saw was the smoke coming out of the six artillery pieces. Xu Lie saw that the thick black smoke swept all the people who lit the cannon into it, and Xu Lie was thinking, if any guy in the future encountered this situation, would he run away?
Boom -
The shells finally hit the calf village and exploded before and after the trenches!
"Report casualties!" Xu Lie roared.
"Casualties reported by each class!" The herald yelled. Xu Lie did not fix the heralds, but only asked each platoon to send two people to follow him as heralds every day.
"Report to the Commander, there are no casualties! It's just that one guy was scared to pee......"
"Be hidden! The enemy shelling will not stop for the time being! ā
"Yes!"
Boom -
About a minute later, another round of shells flew up the calf village.
It's just that the shells flew up to the carf village, but whether they hit the target or not, the Qing army did not know. And will such shells be able to hit the target? Of course, there is a possibility, but that possibility is equivalent to about five million in the lottery in the future.
If you want to hit the target, you have to know the specific target, right?
Perhaps, the Qing army said that my goal is for you to hug the calf, and I will hit you, isn't it?
Yes, yes, it did hit the calf village. Nima is not a house, but a large area, if even the barren slope and so on, not to mention thousands of acres, three or two hundred acres are still there. Moreover, at the forefront and closest to the cliffs, the Mengshan army also built Dongdong, which is almost equivalent to permanent anti-artillery fortifications.
Boom -
Boom -
Boom -
Every minute, the Qing army will shoot a few shells, of course, not every shot can hit the area of the carb, the Qing army uses this kind of cannon, the weight is at least 700 kilograms, every time it is fired, it is an impact on the ground, and after several shelling in a row, the gun base and the gun carriage are actually out of position, and if it is not corrected at this time, its shelling effect is often not as good as the initial effect.
Now the artillery of the Qing army encountered such a situation. Later, the effect was not as good as in the first round. As for the test firing that the artillery talked about in later generations, there was no such thing as a test shot in the Qing army. Because this short-range artillery, which is equivalent to a direct-fire artillery, does not require an artillery observer, there is no talk of test firing.
"Report to the commander: a soldier in the third squad of the second platoon was wounded by shrapnel!"
"Immediately send to the infirmary for rescue!"
"I've been sent to the infirmary!"
"Watch for secrecy!"
The dialogue on the battlefield is actually very simple. This report also shows that the artillery attack of the Qing army is not useless, even if it is bombarding indiscriminately, as long as it falls in the area of Baocalf Village, it will have to do some work.
For example, this flower and grass has suffered a lot of damage, and Xu Lie's special plastic greenhouse for the off-season vegetable base has been dried up in vain in this shelling.
In addition, some of the newly built houses in Baoqian Village were also destroyed by shells. Fortunately, on the whole, Xu Lie can still bear this kind of loss.
However, Xu Lie felt that these losses were worth it, and the Mengshan Army, which had experienced the baptism of artillery, would definitely have a reborn change.
Those who are scared to pee, cry, tremble, and pretend to be ostriches, as long as they pass this level, the next battle will be a tiger and lion.
The artillery shells of the Qing army were not unlimited, and after firing about fifteen rounds of shells, the two teams of Qing troops of about 200 people began to run towards the sheep intestine trail below the mountain with guns on their backs.
In the face of this level of attack by the Qing army, Xu Lie didn't even want to do pre-war mobilization, but just made a regular order: "Each group snipes the enemy according to the established plan, and if the group can't hold on, you can call for reinforcements!" ā
The sheep intestine trail up the mountain, some places can only be passed by one person, but in some places two or three people can also pass, this situation is easy to cause soldiers to be congested in the place where it suddenly narrows.
If Xu Lie has a group of veterans in his hands, if the Qing army under the mountain is a devil of the Eight Snake Country, Xu Lie will definitely arrange layers of sniping, ten miles of mountain roads, no matter how many sniper points are arranged, even if each sniper point can only destroy a few enemies, it is also very cost-effective.
It's a pity that Xu Lie has a rookie egg in his hand, and the Qing army attacking under the mountain seems to be too low-level, so there is no need for Xu Lie to think about tactics at all.
