Chapter 635: Fighting is Beiyang
The sentry did not wait for reinforcements from the battalion management band, but he did wait for three shells from the artillery platoon. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The violent explosion overturned seven or eight subordinates on the head of the city, and even threw it directly out of the city wall.
The stunned sentry commander had not yet recovered from the shock, and the second round of explosions followed in the city.
"Artillery, the Liaodong Army is actually equipped with artillery, and the rate of fire is so fast, how can it be so accurate!" The sentry commander, who finally reacted, couldn't help but exclaim.
The rest of the city's subordinates, without exception, all looked at the tragic scene around them with a stunned expression, and no one answered his questions.
Seeing that several more subordinates on the city wall were killed and injured by shells, the shocked sentinel finally regained some composure.
"The walls are so peaceful that there is no place to hide. Quickly, lift heavy machine guns and withdraw from the walls, hide in the inner city to avoid the shelling, and when the shelling is over, we will go up the walls. The sentinel, still with a shocked expression on his face, ordered loudly.
Then he pointed to a communication soldier beside him and continued to order: "You immediately enter the city to find a pipe belt and ask for artillery support, we brought an artillery team when we divided our troops, as long as we find the artillery position of the Liaodong Army to counterattack, we will definitely be able to destroy the artillery of the Liaodong Army." ”
After finally withdrawing from the city wall under artillery fire, the sentry commander painfully found that his team of more than 180 brothers had once again lost more than half of the troops. Coupled with the losses of the first round of attacks of the Liaodong Army in front of them, there were less than 120 people left in the four sheds under his command.
The only thing that made the sentry commander happy was that the two heavy machine guns that had been reinforced by the pipe belt were intact and were snatched out of the fire by the machine gunners.
If you put it in normal times, a few minutes of waiting for the blink of an eye will pass.
But this is not normal time, and heavy artillery fire is raging on the city. For every minute of shelling time, there is an additional risk that the city will be breached.
Therefore, the sentry commander who hid in the inner city did not become easy. staring anxiously at the city head that was constantly being held overhead, expecting that the artillery attack of the Liaodong Army would stop as soon as possible, and at the same time, he also expected the artillery team arranged in the city to open artillery for counterattack as soon as possible to eliminate the artillery of the Liaodong Army.
As the battalion management band in the first town with the strongest combat effectiveness of the Beiyang New Army, Jiang Yu's command ability is not weak, but also very strong.
As soon as he heard the explosion at the head of the city, Jiang Yu realized that the strength of the Liaodong Army outside the city was not weak.
Then, without thinking too long, he ordered the six mountain guns equipped with the artillery team to counterattack.
However, what Jiang Yu didn't understand was that two minutes after his order was given, there was still no movement in the artillery position not far away.
Jiang Yu, who was worried about the front team at the head of the city, rushed directly to the artillery team position, wanting to see what the artillery team was doing.
In his impression, the gunners of the artillery team are all veteran gunners who have been trained for more than a year, and they can usually find the opponent's artillery in less than a minute and open fire, but now that two minutes have passed, there has been no movement, which has to make Jiang Yu worried.
When he arrived at the artillery position, seeing that the mountain artillery and gunners were all intact, Jiang Yu subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
But in the blink of an eye, Jiang Yu's face was replaced by anger.
With the Liaodong Army's artillery fire raging, for every minute of delay, the casualties of the front team may increase by one point.
At such a critical juncture, the artillery team did not open fire, in Jiang Yu's opinion, it must be that the artillery team looked down on the infantry and did not want to listen to his orders.
You must know that in the army, the rank of artillery is one level higher than that of infantry, and if it were not for the fact that he was also the deputy commander, the rank of the artillery sentry commander would be even equivalent to himself.
In addition, the artillery belongs to the direct management of the town, and he is only a temporary assistant manager, so it is very likely that the other party will not listen to his orders.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yu directly rushed towards the artillery sentry commander with a face full of anger, and scolded loudly as he rushed: "Sentry Commander Wang." Don't you know that if you delay here for one more minute, a large number of my subordinates in front of me will be killed or wounded, you are joking with the lives of hundreds of soldiers in my first battalion. If I don't fire the cannon yet, after I return to Shanhaiguan, I will definitely go to the commander to seek justice in person. ”
The sentry officer of the artillery team is not a fool, and he immediately understood the reason why Jiang Yu was so angry.
hurriedly explained: "Jiang Biaotong, you misunderstood, it's not that the last general doesn't open fire, it's really the artillery of the Liaodong army that we have never seen, and we haven't found the location of the opponent's artillery position until now." ”
"I have already sent artillery to the front to directly observe the specific location of the artillery position, as long as the position is determined, the artillery under my command will definitely open fire immediately, and Jiang Biaotong's order will definitely not be disobeyed."
As soon as he finished speaking, the platoon commander of an artillery platoon sent to the front by Commander Wang ran back.
After a few words of explanation to the king sentry, the king began to give orders.
In less than half a minute, a deafening roar sounded from the small artillery position in front of them. Six cannonballs flew out of the city with a scream, and soon, a faint explosion reached Jiang Yu's ears.
"Well played!" Although he didn't know if the shell hit the target, Jiang Yu couldn't help but applaud when he saw his own artillery wielding power and starting to counterattack.
After two rounds of shells in a row, Jiang Yu suddenly found that the explosion on the head of the city had stopped.
Could it be that the artillery of the Liaodong Army has been destroyed! This was Jiang Yu's first thought.
The Wang Sentinel next to him was much more confident, and he affirmed Jiang Yu without thinking about it: "Jiang Biaotong, the Liaodong Army is only equipped with three artillery pieces, and my artillery team has twelve shells in two salvos. In addition, we suddenly counterattacked, and the Liaodong Army was caught off guard. Those three guns must have been destroyed by us, otherwise my brother and my artillerymen would have been training for more than a year. ”
Self-confidence is self-confidence, and for the sake of safety, Sentinel Wang still ordered the artillery team to fire three more volleys before stopping.
Jiang Yu, who was quite satisfied with the performance of the artillery team, expressed his initial goodwill to Commander Wang and prepared to return to his headquarters.
As soon as the front foot walked out of the artillery team, a string of screams reached Jiang Yu's ears.
Before Jiang Yu could understand what was going on, a very violent explosion sounded from the artillery position he had just left.
"It's not good, the Liaodong Army still hides the artillery, and they will counterattack again, and the artillery team will be finished!" Seeing that there were two mountain guns directly shrouded in artillery fire in the artillery position behind him, Jiang Yu immediately showed a stunned expression on his face and shouted loudly.
Despite the fact that the artillery corps began to transfer mountain artillery at the first moment of attack, several gunners also began to calculate the position of the artillery positions of the Liaodong Army.
But the Liaodong Army was obviously very well prepared, and within a few seconds of the explosion of the four shells, the piercing screams of the shells across the sky reached everyone's ears again.
In a chaotic artillery position, another mountain gun and more than a dozen gunners were enveloped in artillery fire in the explosion.
At this time, the remaining three mountain guns finally moved under the impetus of the gunners, and under the command of the officer, they moved to the surroundings at their own speed.
They are fast, and the shells fly faster.
As soon as the three mountain guns had moved more than ten meters, a round of explosions followed the artillery position.
Another mountain cannon and seven or eight gunners were enveloped in artillery fire.
