Chen Wuzhong looked at the recruit in front of him, this recruit named Lu Daquan. He was recruited into the army in the recruit recruitment a year ago, and he was born in a farmer's family, with good physical fitness and full eyes. He quickly stood out in the training of recruits, then was recommended to the sniper unit, and eventually became a new member of the sniper unit through a series of tests.
Under the light of the fire, Lu Daquan's face was slightly pale, and the military uniform on his body was stained with the blood of his comrades-in-arms, the observers of the two sniper teams. It was really unfortunate that the veteran, who had a year and a half of military experience, was directly killed by a stray bullet flying from the front.
Lu Daquan breathed heavily, trying to calm himself down, although his hands were no longer trembling, the tension in his heart was still difficult to eliminate.
Lu Daquan is different from Chen Wuzhong next to him, he has only been in the army for half a year.
He is a native of Liuzhou, in addition to his parents, there are five brothers and sisters in the family, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is poor. Two years ago, when the Hongji Coal Mine was developed, he and his family took all their belongings to Vietnam to the strange place of Vietnam with the people recruited by the Qin Army, but his family was different from other families who worked as miners. Lu Da's family became one of the first 50 families to choose to work in agriculture, and with a 'loan' from the Qin army, they carved out more than 20 acres of land in a place east of Hongji City that was sure that there were no coal resources. And in two years, the area of the field was expanded to fifty acres, which was the limit given to them by the Qin army.
When Lu Daquan's old father, who had been digging in the field all his life, got the land deed of the 50 acres of land, more than 40 people cried with joy for hours.
The Lu family has also had a good life in the past two years. The rapid development of Hongji Coal Mine has caused the demand for fruits and vegetables in the whole region to rise in a straight line. The Lu family relied on growing vegetables, not only paid the agricultural tax, but also had enough money to buy enough rice for the family to eat for a year, and when the Chinese New Year was celebrated the next year, the whole family put on new clothes, and the family finally dared to buy a few catties of meat and a few fish.
The Lu family is definitely a vested interest under the Qin army system, this time the Qin army recruited, Hongji City is also a location, at that time, Lu Daquan and his father pointed to the deed in the box and said to him: "These are the lifeblood of our family, which was given to us by Liu Dashuai!" Liu Dashuai is our benefactor, a reborn parent! In addition, he has three brothers in his family, and he not only has ten yuan of Yingyang's settling-in allowance for joining the army, but also gives several yuan of silver every month, and more importantly, the army is full of white flour steamed buns and white rice, so Lu Daquan, like some young people in the neighborhood, ran to the recruitment station in the city and started his military career.
Although when he joined the army, he was already prepared to face death. and the partners who came to join the army even boasted that if there was a war, he would definitely be at the forefront, and even imagined that one day he would be able to make great contributions as said in the storytelling play, and then be promoted to a senior official by Liu Dashuai.
After entering the sniper unit, after learning about the duties of a sniper, although he was a little disappointed in his heart, after all, he couldn't charge into battle, but he was also quite proud, because the number of people in the entire sniper unit was less than a hundred. It's absolutely great to be a part of it. And the casualties of snipers have always been small! Lu Daquan felt that there was no danger to his life, so he only hid behind and shot coldly, the sniper was too safe.
But today, he found that fighting a war is not as easy and beautiful as he imagined before! The sniper was not as safe as he thought, and his comrade, the observer in the group, fell in front of him, and he might be next.
Among the Qin troops dispatched this time, there are quite a lot of recruits like Lu Daquan who only joined the army last year, and it can almost be said that they account for 13 or 40 percent of the dispatched troops, otherwise the Qin army will shine even brighter tonight.
The defeated Chu army, and the Qin army, which always held its position and killed and wounded many Japanese troops, compared the two, the Chu army lost face.
No one thinks they're a head down from anyone else. The signboard of the Qin army's 'strongest army in the world' is only shaped by the people's livelihood, not unanimously recognized by Xianghuai and Chuduo.
There is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts. The Chu army also had the idea of competing with the Qin army in this battle, and tonight the table of the two armies directly gave Liu Dian and Wang Debang a dull stick.
……
"Yaga! Were the Qing people prepared? Did they raise so many shells so quickly? It's been two days of fighting, and they'll never run out of shells? Shiki Kayama looked at the shells that kept falling on his side position, and his heart was very depressed. The contrast in artillery firepower between the two sides in this battle was too great.
The Japanese army had only about 30 artillery pieces, half of which were front-loading guns. The largest caliber is only three inches, and the smaller one is just over two inches. And what about the Qin-Chu coalition? The total number of three-inch marine guns in Yishui reached as many as fifty, and all of them were breech-loading guns. The density of firepower on both sides is not at all in the same class. This is still before the two 120mm heavy guns are fired, and if they fire, the firepower of the coalition forces will be even stronger.
The Japanese army had a geographical advantage and fought against the allied artillery yesterday, but by today, the firepower had weakened. After all, the attack on the Peony Society and other Wanwan natives is completely unartillery, and it is not needed. The latter is located in a complex and rugged area, and the artillery cannot enter at all. So, not a lot of shells were prepared, and more shells were piled up in the port.
The Japanese troops who were transferred from the Shooting Dormitory to Guishan did not have enough time, and second, in that limited time, those Japanese soldiers and servants, and even some of the Bay natives who had been recruited from Wanwan, still needed to cut down trees to make houses, build barracks, etc., and did not have enough time and manpower to carry the shells.
When Shikini Kayama evacuated the port, a fire burned down the storeroom of the port. The explosion of the arsenal ignited a sky-high flame, which could be clearly seen from the Turtle Mountain.
Therefore, the Japanese artillery wilted the next day after a day of prestige. And the artillery team of the coalition army, the shells are still very sufficient.
Kayama Shiki was very distressed, and the defense of the position and the support of artillery were very important. If the artillery in the rear line is left without shells, then the fate of everyone in Guishan will be doomed.
At ten o'clock in the morning, an operational staff officer of the Qin army rushed to the position where the two 120mm naval guns were located and conveyed Er Liu's order. Since the main purpose of this operation was to destroy the Japanese artillery positions, and the two sides were too far apart, it was impossible to use the visual method to calibrate, and the only way to rely on the artillery was to calibrate the balloons.
The people who operated the two naval guns were all Chu troops, and there were excellent gunners on the shipmaster's fleet. An officer put down the binoculars in his hand: "It's almost time, let's start, first proofread and shoot at position No. 1!" ”
As the order was passed down, the two 120-millimeter-thick muzzles soon rose into flames more than half a meter long, and then the two shells rushed into the sky and fell towards the Japanese artillery positions in the distance.
It didn't take long for the observer on the balloon to see two fireworks rising near the Japanese artillery position in the distance with a telescope, and then urgently informed the artillery officer below of the location of the shells, so as to correct the firing of the two heavy guns.
Seconds later, two more school shells shot into the sky. When these two shells fell near this Japanese artillery position, the Japanese artillery position was already in chaos.
They did not expect that their positions were several miles away from the front line, and shells fell! You must know that the artillery positions of the two armies are not secret places, and the Japanese occupy high ground and have an advantage over the coalition forces in terms of range and observation. If the Allied forces secretly moved their artillery positions forward during the night, not to mention how they evaded the observation of the Japanese in the few hours after dawn, it is said that the density, intensity, and firing positions of the Allied forces have not changed at all from yesterday. Can the coalition still conjure up a batch of cannons out of thin air?
