After watching the gunner in the distance put the black cannonball through the front muzzle, the extremely low cannon sound of "bang, bang, bang" sounded in an instant, and immediately Sato Ichiro determined that the previous cannonball was fired from here, and as the cannonball was fired out of the muzzle, it landed on both sides of the official road in the distance.

After the shells fell, Ichiro Sato suddenly discovered that the shells did not fall, but that thick black smoke rose above the bandits' positions, covering the entire official road.

The reason why Ye Changsheng let his eyes fire this kind of cannonball is precisely because the bandits in the dense forest have a lot of damage from the shells and bullets because of the cover of trees, so even if he deliberately brought out double the ammunition base today, it is not enough to consume, so Ye Changsheng immediately remembered that this time he also brought out a special cannonball.

This kind of artillery bomb is a smoke bomb, and the smoke bomb mentioned the importance of smoke screens to the army in their report to Wang Bin after Chen Dongsheng and Liu Wangzhen returned from suppressing the popular rebellion.

After Liu Wangchen's report was delivered to Wang Bin, Wang Bin began to ask Sergei to study the smoke bomb, but the occurrence of smoke in this smoke bomb requires a certain chemical reaction, and it is okay to let Sergei design weapons, but it is impossible to ask Sergei to get any chemical reagents.

In desperation, Wang Bin had no choice but to send someone to recruit some chemists, but there were no chemists in China, so Wang Bin asked Smith, who was desperate to go to the United Kingdom and the United States to recruit some chemists for himself.

Smith did not disappoint Wang Bin either, and finally brought these chemists with him near the end of the Russo-Japanese War. Ramsey, Fritz? Harbour and Jacobs? Van Terhoff, after these three chemists joined the arsenal, there was a breakthrough in the progress of smoke bombs, originally Wang Bin had some images of some chemical properties of smoke bombs, but Sergei did not understand these, so smoke bombs have not made much progress.

But after the addition of these three chemists, these are no longer problems, but the only problem is that the size of the smoke bombs made is relatively large, and Wang Bin had to ask the arsenal to make the smoke bombs into the shape of cannonballs, which can be fired from artillery.

The smoke bomb used by Ye Changsheng this time was the smoke bomb produced by the Jinzhou Arsenal, and the first reason why Ye Changsheng thought of using the smoke bomb was that after the smoke bomb produced thick smoke, these bandits would definitely run to the official road because the smoke was not visible.

The second reason is that this smoke bomb has some suffocating effect, so as long as it is covered by the smoke screen, these bandits will definitely run out of the range of smoke.

Another reason is that Ye Changsheng knew that he would encounter an ambush of bandits in Zhesong this time, so Ye Changsheng brought a smoke bomb early to deal with such a situation.

After the smoke screen was formed, sure enough, all the bandits on both sides couldn't help but run out, in Ye Changsheng's eyes, although these bandits were covered by the smoke screen, although they couldn't see what kind of situation the bandits inside were, but they only saw that there were bandits running from the dense forest on both sides to the official road.

After these bandits ran to the top of the official road, the chaos was incomparable, and Ye Changsheng's army took advantage of this short-term chaos to immediately increase the output of firepower.

For these bandits who had just escaped from the smoke screen, the first moment was the most terrifying, and there was nothing more pitiful than a group of panicked bandits.

When the bullets rained down on the bandits, they rushed to throw away their weapons and began to run back, the dense rain of bullets outside caused too many deaths, they screamed, they ran, many fell, these attacked bandits didn't know what they were supposed to do, they just shot each other blindly.

In addition, in the eyes of these bandits, the artillery fire was dazzling, the smoke screen blocked their vision, and the sky was full of the sound of iron sheets, and shells were constantly falling.

The uninjured people trampled on the injured people, and there were moans everywhere underground, and the more chaotic was that the bandits who rushed out of the smoke screen wanted to run into the smoke screen to seek a glimmer of life, and the bandits inside the smoke screen had to run outside the smoke screen and breathe fresh air.

The chaos caused by the smoke screen lasted for some time before it stopped as the smoke cleared.

After the smoke cleared, Sun Dianrong, Wang Chuan, Sato Ichiro and others, who had long been far away from their original positions, immediately decided to lead hundreds of people around him to attack the mortar positions in the distance after seeing the casualties caused by this smoke bomb.

At this time, the mortar position was still firing shells, and suddenly gunfire rang out from a close distance, and the two hundred infantry who were responsible for protecting the artillery suddenly saw bandits running out of the jungle in the distance, and hit the mortars, and these infantry immediately formed a defensive line to block these bandits who suddenly appeared.

And the mortar attack was also suspended because of the sudden attack by these bandits, Ye Changsheng is currently entangled by thousands of bandits, unable to support the mortar men in the rear, as long as the two hundred infantry are blocked, Ye Changsheng took a look at the current situation, although the previous attack was effective, but the number of bandits was extremely large, after the previous smoke screen attack, the formation of these bandits returned to normal.

began to encircle Ye Changsheng continuously, and Ye Changsheng can only rely on the powerful firepower network composed of heavy machine guns and light machine guns to deal with the emerging bandits, in Ye Changsheng's rear, Sato Ichiro is bent on getting the small artillery in the distance, as long as he gets that small artillery, he will definitely be rewarded by the military department.

At this moment, Ye Changsheng's situation is already extremely dangerous, although the ammunition of the heavy machine gun and the light machine gun has been doubled, but it can't be supported for too long according to this kind of consumption, and now the mortar team behind is also entangled by bandits, and it is impossible to give effective support, so the ammunition consumption rate of Ye Changsheng's soldiers is extremely fast.

At most, there is a stick of incense, and the firepower density will drop quickly, and then these bandits can break through the existing firepower network, and they will inevitably have to engage in white-knuckle warfare with these bandits.

And Ichiro Sato has also seen Ye Changsheng's crisis at this moment, and even ordered the bandits to increase their attacks, it can be said that the current situation on Ye Changsheng's side is extremely dangerous. (To be continued.) )
