"Where is the nearest place to shelling?" Wang Qi asked a staff officer, who was sent by the headquarters to assist, mainly responsible for providing intelligence support to the artillery regiment. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"About three kilometers or so from the city walls." The staff officer pointed ahead.

"The speed of our army's advance is too fast, so the Japanese artillery has not yet reacted, we have basically been entangled with the Japanese army, so the Japanese artillery can only attack our rear support troops, now, unless which part of the Japanese army has been completely wiped out by us, the Japanese army will take advantage of this effort to quickly shoot a few shells there, as much as possible to bring us as much damage." The staff officer continued.

"Is all the Japanese artillery deployed in the city?" Wang Qi asked again.

"Yes, it's all in the city, but we're not professionals, so we can't know the exact location of the Japanese artillery." The staff officer nodded and responded.

"I see." Wang Qi nodded, and immediately ordered: "Battalion commander, order the troops to move forward quickly, all artillery positions are arranged in the craters at the very front, your task is to carry out uninterrupted bombing of places where there are no our troops, and you are not allowed to let go of places where there are suspected targets." ”

"Yes, Captain!" The commander of the first battalion agreed, and even though he commanded twenty-four guns to advance in dispersion, because there were troops attacking at the four city gates, each squadron of the two squadrons was responsible for two directions, and if it was evenly distributed in each direction, only six guns could be taken care of.

Although the number of artillery pieces was almost the same as that of the Japanese army, because all the small-caliber artillery that came this time was very difficult, it was still very difficult to threaten the Japanese artillery.

In addition, the range of infantry guns was limited, which led to the artillery battalion having to move the gun position forward as much as possible, so that the entire artillery battalion was placed under enemy fire.

But fortunately, the only thing that made Wang Qi arrive was that the Japanese artillery was in the city, and if the gun emplacements were deployed in the crater, the safety of the artillery and the artillery crew could be effectively protected.

Of course, the crater is not absolutely safe, but judging by the current situation, the safety index in the crater is more than 90 percent. Unless the Japanese mobilized all their artillery to cover the vicinity of the gun emplacement, the probability of a direct hit on the crater was less than 10 percent, or even lower.

But is it absolutely safe inside the crater? The answer is not necessarily, this is mainly situational, if the Japanese artillery is not in the city, and the two are facing each other, then the crater is the most dangerous.

Because the artillery can be fired horizontally, or at a small angle, when the shell is just discharged, the gravitational force is negligible, so at this time, as long as the experienced gunner is an experienced gunner, although it is not said that the hit rate of hitting the crater again is 100%, it is still possible to hit three shells once.

Just like Wang Qi, when he feels good, he can even hit three times with five shells, and even if he feels bad, he can hit two or three times with ten shells.

However, the Japanese artillery was in the city, so it was destined that the Japanese artillery could not use flat fire or small-angle shooting, so if you want to hit the crater again, in addition to having professional guidance, it is also a huge test for the gunner.

In their artillery regiment, if such a situation is encountered, there is only one way, and that is to immediately mobilize more than three guns, fix the coordinates, and then fire a salvo, and then strike with precision at the corrected coordinates, and even then, the hit rate is not very high.

And if the opponent is conducting a test firing, then the crater is absolutely safe, because each shot has to adjust the angle or direction to a greater or lesser extent.

Unless the opposing gunner forgets to adjust the firing elements, and after the gun is classified, it is exactly the same position, height, and angle as when it was fired, without the slightest deviation, then the safety index of staying in the crater in this situation is 100%.

After receiving the order, the first battalion immediately separated the two squadrons, and the artillery group with its own artillery and the auxiliary group with a large amount of ammunition quickly ran towards the front.

Although the 37mm infantry gun is small in power and lacks range, the advantage is that it is light, and two soldiers can run all over the street, although the speed is a little slower, but compared with other artillery, the mobility of this artillery is still very good.

Ten minutes later, the nearest gun was already in place, and the gun commander stood on the right front side of the gun, first looked at the situation ahead with a telescope, and then measured the direction and distance of the target with the soil method.

I quickly got the coordinate data in my heart, "Straight ahead, nine degrees high, ammunition loading!" ”

"Straight ahead, nine degrees high!"

"Ammo reloaded!"

"Launch!" Listening to the response of the artillery group, the artillery commander immediately gave the order to open fire. The operation of the 37 infantry gun is relatively simple, the gun carriage is fixed, the whole gun can only be adjusted by the high and low angles, if it is to adjust the direction, it is necessary to twist the artillery, and even the 75 infantry gun is the same, only some large-caliber artillery can adjust the orientation left and right, for small-caliber artillery, this configuration is obviously a bit flashy.

'......Boom'

The main gunner pulled the cannon rope fiercely, the cannon rope was linked to the cannon latch, and the firing pin hit the base of the cannonball fiercely, and under the force of the cannonball, it instantly burst out with great power, angrily rubbing against the cannon chamber, no matter how many oxen pull it, it is impossible to stop the anger of the cannonball.

On the gun emplacement, there was dust, and due to the huge impact force, the artillery was pushed back by more than a meter, and if not in the crater, it could have retreated even further.

With a violent explosion, a small hole was suddenly blown open in the distant city wall, and this cannonball was not able to blow up the city wall in front of him, but only left traces of his own time there.

If it is a cannon of more than 100 millimeters, then it will definitely be able to blow up the small wall of Pyongyang just now.

"Straight ahead, an octave high! Three rapid fires! ”

"Straight ahead, positive octave!"

"One round reloaded!"

"Launch!" According to the point of impact of the shell, the gun commander quickly made adjustments, and immediately issued a new order.

There was another burst of dust, after confirming that the shells had been shot, the members of the artillery crew did not care about the dust there, and swarmed around, the gunner and the deputy gunner hurriedly took out the shells, and the guns were reset, because it was three rapid fires, so this time there was no need to adjust the design angle, as long as the gun was restored, the loader held a long stick in his hand, wrapped in some cotton cloth, and while the gun was restored, he quickly inserted the stick from the loading place, and then pulled it out again.

Immediately afterwards, the second shooter-loader slipped a new shell into it.

'Whoosh ......'

The cannonball made a crisp roar in the air, not as frightening as other artillery, but more uncomfortable than mortars.

Immediately afterward, a burst of dirt suddenly rose in front of them, and no one except the gun commander saw if they had hit the gun.

In just a few seconds, with the cooperation of the entire artillery crew, the second shell was loaded.

"Second round reloaded!"

"Launch!"

"Three rounds reloaded!"

"Launch!"

From the first shell fired after adjusting the firing to the third shell, the entire artillery crew took only twenty seconds.

It wasn't the best in their camp, but it wasn't the worst either. This is the best combat match that they have been training for a long time to achieve.

In the case of larger caliber guns, even if the loader could guarantee to keep up, the rate of fire would never have been so fast.

Unless the latest tube withdrawal technology is fully adopted, this technology can make the small-caliber artillery almost guarantee that the position of the gun itself does not move at all after it is fired, even if it is a large-caliber artillery, it can only move a distance of tens of centimeters at most.

Reducing the time for the artillery to be reset, then the rate of fire naturally goes up.

…………

Looking up at the explosion in front of him, he saw a cannonball as if it had eyes, directly passing through the chest of a little devil who was about to rush over, and the whole chest of the little devil was instantly drilled out of a hole by the cannonball, and then, a violent explosion came out from behind it, and the cannon fire instantly swallowed the little devil into it, accompanied by a huge torrent of earth.

After the calm was restored, there was no longer the figure of the little devil before, obviously, although the 37 infantry cannon was small, but it was not impossible to kill people, the luck of the little devil was too much, and he was able to be pierced by the shells, how many evil things did Nima do in his previous life to enjoy the taste of artillery in this life?

Wang Yaowu shook his head slowly, he saw the scene just now, he saw it very clearly, and even Wang Yaowu, who was so murderous, felt that this kind of death seemed a little cruel.

But every time he thought of those comrades who were still lying behind, those comrades who died on the way to the charge, Wang Yaowu instantly dispelled this thought.

This is war, how can there be immortals? The little devil thinks that what happened to them may be a little miserable, but what about the dead imperial soldiers? Aren't they miserable?

"The damned artillery is finally here, brothers, work hard to storm Pyongyang before sunset." Wang Yaowu shouted loudly.

Previously, because the Japanese artillery was often powerful, although it did not cause too many casualties, it still had a certain suppressive effect on the morale of the Royal Army.

If it weren't for the sneak attack, the Royal Army was instantly entangled with the Japanese army, which greatly shortened the time for being bombarded, and it would be difficult to say what the current battle situation would be?

Although the artillery that comes now is only 37 guns, it is better than nothing, at least they have artillery on their side.

What's more, the 37 guns are coming, will the 75 guns be far away? Who does not know that the current artillery regiment has only 37 guns and 75 guns? In a scene like this, if one comes, the other will come soon. (To be continued.) )
