Before officially entering the position, the officers and men of the heavy artillery unit will once again clarify their mission.

"What are we?"

"We are artillerymen!"

"What is the responsibility of the artilleryman?"

"Yao is indestructible!"

Standing on the top of the locomotive of an armored train, Shen Shangqian shouted loudly to all the officers and soldiers. And the officers and soldiers also responded loudly. These slogans are not only their motto, but also the guidance of their actions, no one knows the power of heavy artillery better than heavy artillery, especially these train guns parked behind them, in the face of these modern heavy weapons, nothing cannot be destroyed, and the task of the officers and soldiers is to destroy all obstacles that stand in the way of the attacking troops. Control the battlefield with artillery and dominate the battlefield with artillery.

Shen Shangqian's gaze roamed over the faces of the officers and soldiers. What he saw were young faces. It is also a brave and loyal person who serves the country. In front of them, nothing was indestructible, nothing could stop them from moving forward, even if it was a fortress made of reinforced concrete, they were confident that it would be bombarded. Smash.

"In front is Lushun, where is the last stronghold of the enemy, what are you going to do?"

"Destroy it!"

"What are you going to do to destroy enemy strongholds?"

"Heavy artillery fire! Confidence in victory! ”

Shen Shangyi's eyes turned and looked to the southeast, where was Lushun, the last stronghold of the Japanese army on the Liaodong Peninsula, as long as it was conquered, the Liaodong Campaign would be basically over, and their heavy artillery would play an important role in the Lushun Campaign.

In yesterday's battle, the heavy artillery unit did not come in handy, and in today's battle, Shen Shangyao and his heavy artillery unit will become an attacking hammer in the hands of the attacking troops.

Shen Shangqian glanced at the watch, the hour hand was already pointing to seven o'clock, and then he gave the order to enter the position.

"Now. Get into position! ”

As soon as the order was given, all the officers and men immediately moved into action and drove all the train guns into their respective tracks, and in a moment. The whistle sounded, and the steel scrambled.

The sappers had built several fan-shaped railroad tracks for the nine train guns to fire at the same time, and all the gun emplacements were carefully calculated and measured to ensure that the entire shelling process was safe and accurate. With a single order, all the train guns will fire angry shells that will blow up the Japanese fortress in Arthur.

However, this order cannot be given by Shen Shangqian, this order will be given by the offensive command. When the shelling began, as well as the coordinates and bearings of the shelling, this will need to be carried out by the offensive command

。

, is more than the north

Shen Shangqian stood on the position, holding the hanging watch, his eyes kept staring at the pointer on the surface, for him at this moment, time passed very slowly. Everything around him seemed to freeze, and there seemed to be no other sound in his ears, only his own heartbeat accompanied by the ticking of the watch, which made his nerves tense.

A staff officer stood beside Shen Shangqian and at his feet. It was a dark green ammunition box, and on the wooden box was a field phone, which, like Shen Shangyao, was also silent.

As if a long time had passed, Shen Shangyu's ears suddenly rang with the shock of the telephone ringing, but he didn't look back, still maintaining his original movements, staring at the hanging watch in his hand, listening to the voice of the staff officer beside him.

"Yes! Command confirmation. Start shelling! Target Orientation,! Artillery fire! ”

Waiting for the staff officer to hand Shen Shangqian the location of the target coordinates written down in the notebook, Shen Shangqian put away the wall watch unhurriedly, and then glanced at the coordinates.

"Give the order to shoot."

Shen Shangqian only walked towards the staff officer and nodded, and then only said one sentence, which was enough.

The artillery commander's order was quickly transmitted by telephone to each of the gun positions, and the well-trained artillerymen quickly began to adjust their firing according to the coordinates and directions of the target they received.

The muzzle of the black hole was slowly raised. Then it moves laterally, then the shell is loaded, the ignition tube is loaded into the bolt, and the bolt is locked.

"Gun Position 1 is reloaded!"

"Gun Position 2 reloaded!"

"The third gun position is filled!"

"Gun Position 4 is reloaded!"

"Gun Position 5 is loaded!"

Almost at the same time, all gun emplacements were reloaded.

"Evacuate the gun emplacement!"

The shooting commander immediately gave the order to leave the gun position, and then looked over to Shen Shangqian, waiting for his order.

"Shoot."

Shen Shangyao's voice was surprisingly calm, but what came out then was the earth-shattering sound of cannons.

"Boom"

The shooting commander quickly pressed down the electric torsion. The electric current detonated the ignition tubes through those wires. Almost at the same time, all the train guns slammed back. The shell in the chamber was pushed out of the barrel, and a powerful muzzle storm swept through everything. The whole earth shook, and the dust on the ground rose violently, and even if you stood far away from the old heart, you could feel the powerful shock wave. The deafening sound of the cannon is enough to add to a person's heartbeat.

"Reload the shells."

Shen Shangqian took out the wall watch again and looked at the time. Then calmly the order was given to reload the shells, and all the artillery jumped out of the trenches and rushed towards the still-dusty gun emplacements.

This was only the first round of shelling by the Chinese heavy artillery units.

In fact, the shelling of the Chinese field artillery began before the first round of shelling by the Chinese heavy artillery units, and it began with close firing.

Field artillery was covering infantry shocks. Along with the field artillery, the infantry units were supported by the armored units of the Chinese assault forces.

The position of the naval battalion defended by the Japanese Kwantung Army was also one of the outer positions of the entire Arthur battlefield, although it was not the most important position, but it was the same as the others. The Japanese army here is also ready for all defenses. From fortified bunkers to ground obstacles. From weapons and ammunition to food and drinking water, no matter from any point of view, the Japanese troops are fully prepared, and compared with the Battle of Arthur in the Russo-Japanese War of that year, the defenders are now more complete in defense and more determined in the courage to live and die with the position.

However, this did not mean that the Japanese could easily hold their positions. They did not face the Russian ** team of that year, and the tactics used by the attacking side were completely different from the Russo-Japanese War of that year. In those days, the Japanese army relied on the tactics of crowds to break through the positions of the Russian army, but now, the tactics used by the Chinese attacking forces are small group infiltration, little by little mercury eating the positions held by the Japanese army, and under the cover of artillery and armored troops. The offense is quite fast.

In the face of this offensive tactic, the dying struggle of the Japanese army only made their casualties worse, and other than that, it had no effect, and the Japanese troops hiding in the trenches and fortifications were like pests hiding in dark corners, and were quickly wiped out by the machine guns, submachine guns, grenades, and flamethrowers equipped by the squadron, and even had no power to fight back. In addition to the sound of gunfire on the position, the screams of the Japanese soldiers were particularly clear.

Although a small number of Japanese soldiers did use the "meat bullet tactic" to attack some squadron armored combat vehicles, and damaged some armored combat vehicles. However, this tactic can basically only play the role of shaking the tree, and cannot change the overall balance of power.

In the battle on this position, the attacking side had an overwhelming advantage, and the Chinese attacking forces had an overall superiority in both strength and firepower.

Despite this, the front commanders of the Chinese offensive forces were still not satisfied, and it was under these circumstances that Ji Yushuang decisively gave the order for heavy artillery fire.

Now, Ji Yushuang is standing on an unnamed high ground that has been won by Caiwang, holding a telescope, looking at the position of the naval division camp not far away, and under the fire of heavy artillery, the Japanese position there has been completely shrouded in artillery fire and gunsmoke. It is not clear to see, in order to prevent accidental injury, the Chinese attacking forces have withdrawn from some of the positions they have occupied, and the artillery school firing officer can choose the firing zone at will.

The attack on the Japanese position of the naval battalion was actually just a tactical test, and what Ji Yushuang really wanted to take was actually the Dugao Heights in the southwest, which was the commanding heights of the entire Arthur battlefield.

Monsoon rain and frost look towards the milk plateau. He can clearly see the "Pyochung Tower" standing on the high ground, which is a monument built by Japan to commemorate the victory over Russia, and is regarded as a spiritual pillar by the Japanese army, but in the minds of the Chinese people, it is the shame of the loss of sovereignty.

"Tell the artillerymen. The next round of shooting, aim for the base heights. ”

Ji Yushuang said lightly to a staff officer standing beside him. He then continued to use his binoculars to observe the Japanese defensive positions near the Milk Heights.

correct

"Report! Call from the General Staff! ”

An adjutant hurried over to Monsoon Yushuang. A transcript of a telegram was handed over.

"Read."

Monsoon Yushuang continued to observe the battlefield with a telescope and did not take the telegram.

"Yes! According to reliable information conveyed by British and US envoys to China, the Japanese Government announced a unilateral ceasefire yesterday, but as long as Lushun is not conquered, our side will never stop attacking."

The content of this telegram was simple, but it lifted everyone's spirits.

Ji Yushuang handed the binoculars to the adjutant, looked at the position of the sailor battalion filled with gunsmoke, and sighed

Gas.

"Call back to the General Staff, our army will conquer Lushun tomorrow at the latest!"

The voice of the net fell into the river, only to hear the scream of cannonballs from the sky. Then, the milk heights were plunged into a sea of fire and smoke.

Soon after, the Japanese erected "Pyochung Tower." Crashing into the midst of the artillery fire, the defensive confidence of the Japanese troops seemed to have collapsed along with the tower.
