Chapter 108: Shelling of Japanese gunboats
"Biaozi, let's go back!" Gao Quan took Biaozi and turned around and walked towards the side of the boat, followed by several guards next to him. Liu Qi saw Gao Quan going back, and just wanted to chase after him to ask, an officer came over to ask for instructions, and Brigade Commander Liu could only helplessly stay and continue to command, watching Gao Quan jump over the bulwark and go back to the big boat that killed Nakajima Isago Isamu.
"Go and push me out!" Gao Quan jumped from the side of the ship and shouted loudly. This ship is certainly not a battleship, but it really has cannons on it! If it weren't for Gao Quan's good habit of checking the seized materials, perhaps these anti-aircraft guns would have to wait until the ship arrived at the place and unloaded the goods before they could be discovered. Six brand-new anti-aircraft guns! This was all the equipment of a combat defense artillery company in Du Yuming's armored corps in the Battle of Songhu, and today it is cheap! I don't know which loser's general threw these treasures to the devil!
The officers and soldiers shouted, the dark and shiny battle defense artillery was pushed out, and three of the six guns were pushed out, and the soldiers wanted to push out but were stopped by Gao Quan, "Enough!" "Three gunboats are enough to fight devils, and six salvos are purely Lang Fei shells!
"A gun mount, armor-piercing shells!"
The 37 anti-aircraft gun, also known as the anti-tank gun, has two long iron cast brackets behind the gun body, which can stabilize the gun body and prevent the war defense gun from moving back due to the strong recoil generated by the shell launch. The gun fired a 37-mm tungsten-core armor-piercing projectile. The gunboat that hits the devil with armor-piercing bullets, of course, is eating noodles with chopsticks, and it is on the road.
The brackets on both sides were erected, boxes of shells were lifted out, and the soldiers opened the boxes and moved the shells out but were dumbfounded, what? None of them will make it! The artillery regiment of the 500th Army is on the way to follow the main army, and the artillery of the independent brigade is not on this boat, the artillery is not there, and these engineers, scouts, and military guards are going to operate these high-tech defense guns, isn't that a joke, these people can't even fire the most basic artillery, how can they operate?
Gao Quan saw the embarrassment of the soldiers and remembered that he came out without artillery this time! Don't you fight without artillery? Of course not, isn't there an all-powerful heroic commander here! Of course, Gao Quan alone can't control the battle defense artillery, the standard configuration of a battle defense gun is four people, and what Gao Quan has here is, but there are a little fewer people who can fire the artillery, just him!
"You, you, you, you, come and help!" Gao Quan pointed to four soldiers who looked more dexterous, and was ready to temporarily train these people to make cameo appearances in artillery.
"Take the shell out of the box with the bullet pointing forward and holding it flat with both hands!" Gao Quan crouched there and adjusted the sight, while instructing the ammunition hand behind him what to do. "Pass the shell over and slowly push it into the chamber. The breech is here! This hole is the barrel of the gun, so try not to touch the edges around it when pushing it in. Slow down, don't panic, stay steady! "He adjusted the scale here, and corrected the wrong way in the operation of the makeshift ammunition hand there.
"Alright, close the bolt, this is the lid. Don't you know what a lid is? That's it, a bit like an iron lump on the lid of a pot. In this way, just close it firmly. If you close it, don't open it again, you can't pull it open! Gao Quan opened the hand of a soldier next to him who wanted to pull the cannon latch, "Okay, everyone else back and cover their ears!" "The shell is loaded, the aiming accuracy is adjusted in place, and all that remains is a pull line to fire!" You, hold this rope, and when I say pull it, pull it back. ”
Gao Quan quickly took a few steps back, covered his ears with both hands, and squatted down, "Pull!" ”
"Boom!" There was a loud bang, the entire hull trembled, the fire flashed, and a clear explosion came from the distance, and when I looked again, a ball of fire appeared on the devil's gunboat, and one shot hit!
"Hit! Wow! There was cheers all around, especially the fighters who had personally participated in the shelling. One shot hit the devil gunboat, and they have their credit here!
"One more shot!" Gao Quan woke everyone up from the ecstasy in time, the devil's gunboat was only injured, it hadn't sunk yet! The other two guns stayed quietly on the side, this one was easy to use, and Gao Quan didn't plan to change the guns. Besides, this thing is too cumbersome to operate, and if you replace it with those two guns, you have to put a bracket and readjust your aiming, which is troublesome. The devil gunboat basically didn't leave after being hit by the gun, this gun is based on the original aiming scale, as long as it changes a little, compared to the other two guns to adjust the scale from scratch is a lot easier.
From the binoculars, you can see that the devils on the gunboat are busy fighting fires and patching holes. It is estimated that this armor-piercing shell not only pierced a hole in the deck of the gunboat, but also caused a fire, and it was really sad for them to see the scene of the devils busy working. Gao Quan flicked the sight slightly and set the direction, "Pull!" "This time, those deputies are a lot more proficient, Gao Quan said a lot less, and his aim is much faster.
"Boom! Tong! "Two explosions rang out almost simultaneously. There was a shuttle on the deck, and all the people standing staggered to and fro, and several of them were unsteady on their feet and wrestling. Gao Quan was squatting underground, and he sat directly on the deck. A column of water rose from the side of the ship, splashing the faces of the people near the side of the ship.
Before the people on the boat could recover from the shock, there was a loud noise on the river, and in the skyrocketing firelight, the devil's ironclad gunboat was shot again, and there was a secondary explosion. In the explosion and firelight, the devil gunboat began to tilt, then the bow was cocked, and the stern sank quickly under the water!
The stern sank, the bow was upturned, and the only thing better than the Titanic was that the ship was not that big, and the hull did not break into two during the sinking process. The whole ship stood upright for a few seconds, then suddenly sank, and after a dozen seconds, the Japanese-made armored gunboat disappeared from the water, leaving only a piece of foam.
The gunboats are the most powerful armed ships in this fleet, and when the two gunboats are sunk one after another, even if this fleet completely loses the protection of the perimeter, Gao Quan and his ship-taking detachment can do whatever they want!
The fleet was full of shouts of killing, and the sounds of battle were everywhere. A small fleet of three ships patrolled the fleet. Chen Zhanshui drove the big boat, and there were three battle defense guns parked majestically on the deck, followed by Liu Qi and Shi Lei. According to Gao Quan's orders, the three ships shuttled back and forth in the fleet group, and once they found out that the situation of our army was not good on any ship, they would immediately go up to support! When the devils on the ship are almost wiped out, they will leave. Anyway, there are enough elites in the three ships here, whether it is a gunfight or hand-to-hand combat, they can block each other. They are the general rescue team of our army!
