The falling shells were not from the field artillery of the 2nd Division of the New Army starting from Yingkou, but from the Beihai Division fleet of the Ming Empire cruising in the waters of the Bohai Sea. The warships that sailed along the coastline to the waters near Panjin showed their shocking destructive power.
These 356 mm caliber cannons can fly a distance of 30 kilometers and accurately deliver shells to the periphery of Dawa County, and the destructive power produced by these large-caliber artillery shells of the navy is incomparable to the army's field artillery in any case.
Opened the queue, a full 3 Daming Shui Division Mountain-class battleships with 10 356 mm caliber cannons, each attack can project dozens of powerful shells, it is not difficult to destroy the permanent fortifications, let alone against those improvised fortifications that have been dug temporarily near the county town of Dawa?
Standing on the bridge of the battleship Huashan, General Zhang Rude, commander of the Beihai Division, listened expressionlessly as his officers reported the results of the shelling. There were reports of artillery attacks from the reconnaissance unit of the New Army from Yingkou, and his fleet launched one precise attack after another.
In the battle off the coast of Dalian, the battleship Wuyishan was sunk by a sneak attack by the Japanese army, this shame has always been a bloody thorn in Zhang Rude's heart, and the battleship Nagato sank by itself, but did not give him a chance to vent his anger in revenge. So he is standing here now, leading the fleet to shell the rebels, which can be regarded as a bad breath.
"This high-power radio station equipped by the new army is really a good thing, it is not large enough to reach such a long ......distance," Zhang Rude was a little reluctant to believe when he first heard that an observation post on land would correct artillery fire, but after the experiment, he felt that this was feasible.
After years of research, a radio equipment factory in Nanjing has developed a high-power radio station. In fact, the technology of high-power long-range communication has long been mature, and the difference is only the size of this equipment. Nanjing, an equipment factory, has worked hard to reduce the volume of the equipment to a level that can be equipped on ordinary vehicles, and it can be said that it is at the forefront of the world.
After all, the powerful industrial heritage of the Ming Empire is still there, except for some places that have distorted the science and technology tree that has led to temporary backwardness, and the rest of the aspects have been born from time to time, at least in terms of radio communication, the Ming Empire has invested a lot, which is also caused by the loss of poor communication in the early years.
Radio matters aside, at least in terms of the current state of the war, this shelling will definitely set a record for naval artillery bombardment in support of the army's operations. Judging from the corrected accuracy of hits, this shelling can definitely be used as a textbook standard.
Zhang Rude praised here, in the heavily armored turrets under his feet, the shooters who operated the artillery did not slow down in the slightest, they loaded one shell after another into the barrel, and poured these powerful shells on the enemy's head as quickly as possible.
The navy here is in full swing to attack, and the rebels over there are in the fortifications on the outskirts of Dawa County, but they have been attacked. The rebels, who had not expected a large-scale counterattack, were stunned by the sudden artillery fire, and they did not know how many enemies would be killed after such a fierce attack.
Ye Hehao Zhan had been inspecting his troops digging trenches from his own position, but before he could enjoy the feeling of power that he had seen the end of the world. He was carried by his lieutenant and some of his guards and jumped out of the trench and into a bunker, and more shells fell on the positions near him.
These large-caliber shells easily destroyed the trenches dug by his soldiers, and the huge explosion even made Ye Hehao Zhan, who was hiding in the bunker, feel the ground tremble under his feet.
A dull thud came from underground, shaking the gravel in the dirt, and the ashes falling from the canopy of the bunker overhead hit the steel helmet with a desperate crackling sound. Ye He Hao Zhan even hugged his helmet and shouted, not because he was as timid as a mouse, but because he found that his ears no longer seemed to be able to hear the shouts of the people around him.
I put down the telescope in my hand, and even with my eyes, I could see the black smoke rising nearly 100 meters high in the distance. Since the expansion of the 2nd Division, it has not fought a decent war, and Guo Xing, who was the commander of the new corps a month ago, and Zhang Jianjun, the commander of the 1st Division, are both nervous and excited about the battlefield in front of them.
Unlike Zhang Jianjun who followed Wang Jue behind him, he Guo Xing was sent to Yingkou, which can be regarded as the sole leader of the army, Wang Jue did not discriminate against this officer with a humble background, but directly entrusted him with important tasks. This is inseparable from Guo Xing's ability to show in the new army, at least he is better than Zhang Jianjun in raising arms and logistics.
Maybe after the two generals of the Jin State, Todeltai and Ye He Hao Zhan, knew the truth, they would be so angry that Wang Jue, a young man in his early twenties, vomited three liters of blood, right? Because of these generals of the Ming army who led the troops to fight fiercely with them and win, the eldest Zhang Jianjun was only thirty years old, and Guo Xing was only twenty-nine years old.
One of them was only a battalion commander in the First Group Army of the Ming Army a year ago, and the other was even an adjutant of a logistics unit half a year ago. As a result, now they are in the south and north on the battlefield of Liaodong, defeating the two important ministers of the Jin State.
"Send a signal to General Zhang Rude to extend their fire and strike at the rebels' second line of defense." Guo Xing knew that he had few troops, and the result of the stalemate would not be beneficial to him, so what he had to do was to take advantage of the opportunity of the rebels to disrupt and immediately attack and defeat the rebels, covering up the truth that his troops were limited.
"Put those 40 armored cars at the front to cover the infantry attack!" Now that the decision has been made, Guo Xing has no intention of leaving anything behind, and immediately gives the order to attack: "The commander asked us to test the role of armored vehicles when breaking through the enemy's position, are the observers and analysts in place?" Start attacking as soon as you're in place, don't waste any time! ”
Soon, the troops of the 1st Panzer Regiment of the 2nd Division of the New Army were ready to spread out their attack formation behind a low hill, and these well-trained soldiers of the New Army, in their own unique way, with their slightly immature figures, opened the prelude to a battle of change.
