Chapter 613: Artillery Units
Han Fei immediately called Commander Li, saying that his men were being pursued by devil ships on the river, and asked the artillery position of the 79th Army to be lent to him for a while, and returned it immediately after this battle.
Commander Li laughed on the phone: "Brother Han, if you want to use artillery, just say it, don't say borrow it, I will immediately give you the command of the artillery regiment of the 79th Army, and you can use it as much time as you want?" So satisfied, right? ”
I didn't expect Commander Li to be so generous, and he actually handed over the entire artillery regiment of the 79th Army to him for command, Han Fei hurriedly thanked him repeatedly, just put down the microphone, the telephone rang again, the staff officer picked it up, and immediately handed it to Han Fei: "The phone number of the commander of the 79th Army Artillery Regiment Xie!" ”
Han Fei thought to himself: "Good guy, Commander Li's efficiency is still quite high, just after he finished speaking, the artillery regiment Zhang called, yes, follow him accurately!" ”
After taking the microphone, there was a hurried voice from Regiment Commander Xie: "Chief Han, on the orders of the military seat, from now on, our regiment will listen to your command, if the commander has any instructions, even if he orders, he guarantees that he will carry them out immediately!" ”
As soon as he heard this, Han Fei felt refreshed, and immediately gave the direction of the observation post just now to that Regiment Commander Xie, and asked him to immediately open fire to intercept those devil ships that were pursuing from the Yangtze River, and cover the retreating independent division and friendly troops!
Head Xie said that there was no problem, so he hung up the phone, and Han Fei said to the "foxes" around him: "Let's go, let's go to the river to pick up Lao Zhao!" ”
As soon as they walked out of the station, there was a screaming sound on their heads, Han Fei and the others looked up, good guys, Commander Xie's movements are really unambiguous, and they immediately fired at the devils on the river, looking at the formation of the shells whistling past, the artillery regiment of the 79th Army must be equipped with large-caliber heavy artillery, which is just right to fight the devil destroyers and gunboats that are catching up!
There was also a thunderous sound from the northwest direction, and it could be heard that there must be a cannon bombardment over there, Han Fei pointed over there and asked the staff officer beside him: "Is there a battery over there?" ”
"Yes, sir, over there is the Jiangfang Fort in Pukou, and there are 300 mm caliber Krupp fortress guns on the fort, which are specially used to fight warships!" The staff officer nodded and said.
"That's so lively! Good artillery brothers, this time we have to let the little devils taste the bitterness! Han Fei heard that the Pukou Fort was also bombarding the devil ships, and his heart was relieved, now Zhao Yongfu and they may have withdrawn safely!
On the surface of the Yangtze River, the cannonballs from the direction of Pukou pierced the sky, smashed at the pursuing devil ships, and smashed the shells into the river, and at that time they set off a column of water that was high into the sky, and the huge waves caused by the shock wave lifted those devil ships into a bump, and several devil gunboats in front were almost overturned into the river by the huge waves.
Zhao Yongfu, who was being pursued by the devil ship, was finally relieved, this time it was really fucking unlucky, after giving up Bagua Zhou, he took the remaining brothers to take the wooden boat and withdrew, but was bitten by the devil ship behind, the wooden boat had no power, and the speed of the artificial oars was naturally not as fast as the ghost ship behind, Zhao Yongfu immediately sent the "water ghost" brothers who were familiar with the water to block, but the devil gunboat in the march was extremely fast, and even the "water ghost" brothers could only watch those gunboats go away, There is no way around it.
Followed by these devil ships, Zhao Yongfu suffered a lot, he couldn't shake it off, he couldn't fight it, the 57-mm naval guns and heavy machine guns on the gunboats rained down, and the large-caliber naval guns on the destroyers rained down, sinking several small boats in the team at once, and many brothers were killed and wounded.
Suddenly, a row of cannonballs flew on the riverbank and smashed in the middle of the devil ships, although this wave of shells did not hit any of the devil gunboats and ships, but Zhao Yongfu and his brothers cheered one by one, and the brothers on the river bank finally found their fleet, and now they can be saved!
The brothers on the observation post at the commanding heights kept correcting the position of the devil fleet, and of course the artillery of Commander Xie also kept correcting the angle of the shelling, and the raindrops of shells smashed again, this time finally a shell smashed on the deck of a devil destroyer behind, overturning several devil soldiers on the deck on the spot.
This time, the devil ships that caught up were a little panicked, and hurriedly turned their guns to the batteries on the opposite bank of the river, which was a burst of random fire, but they couldn't find out where the batteries and Commander Xie and their artillery positions were on the ship, that is, they just hit a shell on the Pukou side by feeling, and most of the devil ships hit the tidal flat positions where no one was around, except for the explosion of a cloud of smoke and a loud explosion, there was no other damage at all.
The commander of the devil's fleet found that his ship was being targeted by the artillery fire from the Pukou Fort, and felt that there was danger, and if he rashly pursued it without a large number of infantry following the landing, he would definitely suffer a loss.
The devil commander ordered the ship to stop pursuing, and after receiving the order, the destroyer immediately began to turn around and return home, but the devil gunboats in front of them still desperately drove at full speed to catch up with Zhao Yongfu and them for some reason!
Suddenly, a flotilla of boats burst out of the spurs, all of which were small sampans, with four or five Chinese soldiers in each boat, and a machine gun in the bow, flying towards the devil's gunboat.
The devil gunboat began to disagree, isn't it just a group of small sampans? What's the big deal, sink them with artillery fire and machine guns! So the devil gunboat slowed down, and the machine gun bullets rained down on the small sampans, causing a series of splashes to jump on the water near the small sampans, and the shells whistled, and the waves that smashed up almost overturned the small sampan into the Yangtze River.
The devil commander laughed, thinking that he had taken the lead, under this kind of fierce firepower, no ship could get close to the gunboat, and just when he was proud, from the other direction of the river, more than a dozen reed pipes were rising and falling with the waves, and more than a dozen "water ghost" brothers under the water were quickly diving towards the gunboat, they were carrying magnetic explosives or something!
Such a small reed root rises and falls on the wide Yangtze River, and the devil lookouts on the gunboat can't see it naturally, and at this moment they are concentrating on dealing with the fleet rushing towards them on the other side, and naturally they are even more unguarded by a team of deadly killers rushing towards their gunboat from the other direction?
