186 The End Comes

There was a loud "boom", a puff of light smoke rose from the muzzle, the shells flew out with a whistling and landed on the positions of the Spaniards, making a loud "boom", the commander of the Spanish field artillery regiment ...... The regimental commander, François, was having breakfast in the artillery command post, and he was smearing butter on bread with a knife when he heard a loud "boom", his hand trembled, and the knife fell to the ground with a "bang".

François's heart trembled, and he hurriedly stood up and walked outside, but as soon as he stepped out of his right leg, there was a sharp pain, which made him suddenly think of the fact that the first battalion of the field was completely annihilated by Lin Fei's artillery, and a wave of anger surged into his heart.

François reached out and grabbed the crutches, and came out of the command post with the crutches, came to the position, and asked in a loud voice: "What happened?" ”

An officer hurriedly ran over and said: "Report to the regiment commander, a shell fell in front of our artillery position. ”

After the officer finished speaking, he pointed to the distance with his hand, François looked in the direction pointed by the officer, and saw a column of smoke dispersed in the air, François frowned, and said: "This is the enemy artillery is being test-fired, immediately notify our observation post and find the enemy's artillery position..."

The Spanish artillery also deployed observation posts on the high ground, and the officers hurriedly ran into the command post when they heard the order, and conveyed the order by telephone, François was extremely indignant in his heart, he originally thought that he could use the shells to avenge himself, but he did not expect that his shells had not yet hit the people of the Chinese Empire, and the shells of the Chinese Empire came first.

Although François saw the artillery of the Chinese Empire coming first, he did not panic, because he was very confident in his artillery and artillery, as long as the observer could find the artillery position of the Chinese Empire, his artillery was sure to inflict heavy damage on the artillery of the Chinese Empire.

There were five observers on the heights, organized into an observation squad, with an experienced veteran artilleryman as the squad leader, who did not take the matter too seriously after receiving the order to find out the positions of the enemy artillery, and casually ordered one of the soldiers: "Go and find the positions of the enemy troops." ”

The soldier stood at the observation port, looked in the direction of Lin Fei's artillery position for a while, and said helplessly: "Squad leader, I can't find the enemy's position. ”

The squad leader said disdainfully: "Before the artillery is fired, a shallow pit must be dug in the ground to help the gun truck offset the recoil, and the shallow pit is very conspicuous, how can it not be found?" ”

The soldier said helplessly: "Squad leader, they didn't dig a shallow pit. ”

The squad leader sneered: "Don't talk nonsense, how can their recoil be offset if they don't dig shallow pits?" The squad leader said and walked to the window, picked up the binoculars and looked into the distance, and sure enough, he didn't find a shallow pit, and the squad leader said in surprise: "This is really strange, can there be artillery without digging shallow pits?" ”

How did the Spaniards know that the HP-2 howitzer equipped by Lin Fei's artillery is equipped with a hydraulic brake and retreat machine, and the recoil is offset by the brake and retreat machine, so there is no need to dig a semi-circular shallow pit in the ground like the Spanish artillery. The squad leader thought for a while and said: "We don't care if they dig shallow pits or not, just look for artillery, the outline of the artillery is very conspicuous, and you can find it lightly." ”

As he spoke, the squad leader put down his binoculars and walked to his seat, thinking to himself as he walked, it would be okay to leave such a small matter to his subordinates, but what he didn't expect was that before he could sit down, a loud "boom" sound came from the front of his position, and the landing point of this shell was much closer than just now.

At this time, the phone in the observation post rang, the squad leader picked up the microphone, and François's voice shouted in the microphone: "Observation post, what are you doing?" Why haven't enemy artillery positions been spotted yet? The enemy is already the second test shot, and we will not be able to counterattack unless we find out their position. ”

Hearing François's reprimand, the squad leader did not dare to relax any longer and shouted at the observers: "Everyone, go into the observation position and look for enemy artillery positions." ”

Hearing the squad leader's reprimand, the observers ran to their respective positions and looked into the distance, and the squad leader shouted at the top of his voice: "Look for something long and straight, those eight achievements are the barrels of enemy artillery." ”

How did the Spaniards know that Lin Fei's artillery used camouflage technology, breaking the geometric lines of the barrel, and the cannon body was covered with camouflage nets, and the guns looked like just clumps of bushes, which could not be found at all, and the Spanish soldiers were all panicked, and cold sweat was dripping down their cheeks.

More than a minute later, the observers still found nothing, and another shell fell, this time to the edge of the position, and every Spaniard's heart hung in the air, praying desperately that God would bless the observers to quickly find the enemy's artillery.

Among the Spaniards, François was particularly anxious, his heart was about to burst out of his throat, he was an artillery expert, seeing the three shells approaching the artillery position one by one, he knew that the test firing was about to be completed, if he could not find their position before Lin Fei's artillery bombarded it with all his might, his entire artillery position would be destroyed.

François was so anxious that he personally grabbed the phone to the observation post and shouted: "You fools, haven't you found the artillery of the Chinese pigs?" ”

The observers said helplessly: "Chief, we are trying our best to find it, but ......"

François shouted hoarsely: "Don't say anything 'but' to me, hurry up and find me, the test firing of the Chinese pigs is coming to an end, if you can't find them before the fire covers us, I will stuff you into the chamber as a cannonball..."

François threw down the microphone angrily after speaking, and several observers looked at the squad leader in horror and asked with a sad face: "Squad leader, what should I do?" ”

The squad leader said coldly: "What are you panicking about... There must be a way, I have already thought of it, when the gun is fired, a lot of smoke will come out of the muzzle, this smoke is very obvious, the last test firing of the Chinese pigs has just passed, we must be able to see the smoke from the muzzle, hurry up to find the smoke. ”

The observers hurriedly looked for the smoke from the artillery firing, but still found nothing, these observers' knowledge of the artillery all came from their own artillery, and the propellant used in their artillery was black powder, which produced a very thick smoke when burning, which could be easily observed from a distance, so they took it for granted that the same was true of Lin Fei's artillery.

But what they didn't know was that the propellant used by Lin Fei's artillery was nitrocellulose, and the smoke produced was much lighter, which was difficult to detect from a distance.

The observers still couldn't find Lin Fei's artillery position, so angry that François scolded loudly in the headquarters, scolding the observers, Lin Fei, and even the entire Chinese nation, but no matter how much he scolded, it was useless, and Lin Fei's artillery position would not be discovered by the observers because of his scolding.

At that moment, another explosion was heard, this time closer than the previous three, accompanied by the miserable wails of the Spanish soldiers, and the shell fell on their positions...

François's heart was instantly swallowed by despair, because he understood that the test firing of Lin Fei's artillery had been completed, and what would follow was an overwhelming barrage of shells.

Xu Deping saw that the shell hit the Spanish artillery position, and immediately sent a message to Zhao Menggang, Zhao Menggang suppressed the excitement in his heart, and ordered loudly: "All gun positions, fire at full speed..."

After the hydraulic brake and retreat re-entry machine, the recoil of the body tube is acted on the recoiling liquid, which is converted into the heat of the recoiling liquid, and then the body tube is pushed back to the firing position, and the aiming line remains unchanged during the whole launch process, so it can be aimed at the target and fired continuously.

The shells were fired out one after another, with a rate of fire of 18 pieces per minute, 15 guns, 270 shells fell on the enemy's positions in one minute, this kind of fire density the Spaniards had never seen at all, their field artillery hit at most four or five shells a minute, and the dense shells fell on the artillery positions of the Spaniards, setting off clouds of black smoke and pieces of fire, the explosion shook people's ears, and the shock wave made the earth tremble, and every Spaniard felt in a trance...... The end has come.

The type of the blasting grenade is LBP-75-1, in which the letter "BP" stands for "blasting", and the other parts are the same as the LSS-75-1 anti-personnel grenade, the power of the anti-personnel grenade has been seen by the Spaniards, and the blasting grenade is the first time they have seen it, which gave them a lot of shock.

Anti-personnel grenades rely on anti-personnel fragments to kill the enemy, so the shell is not filled with a lot of explosives, but the blasting grenade is different, it completely relies on the internally loaded explosives to cause damage, so the blasting grenade is loaded with more explosives than the anti-personnel grenade, the explosion is much louder, and the shock wave is much stronger.

A blasting grenade happened to explode near a field gun, and the strong shock wave directly overturned the gun truck, and the shock wave also detonated the shells piled up by the Spaniards, with a loud "boom", more than ten boxes of shells were blown into the sky, and the surrounding Spanish soldiers were swept away by the strong shock wave, and they died in a faint state.

More shells fell on the side of the panicked artillerymen, directly blowing them to the bones and tendons, and the corpses were on the spot, and some of the shells also fell into the stables, and the explosion alarmed the pack horses, they raised their hooves, ran lifeless in the Spanish position, and soon rushed out of the artillery position, ran into the infantry defense area, and made the Spanish in a great mess.

The smoke from the shells gradually formed a cloud of smoke on Lin Fei's artillery position, and the Spaniard observer was very excited when he saw this cloud of smoke, grabbed the microphone and said to François: "Report to the regimental commander, we have found the artillery position of the Chinese pigs..."

François said angrily: "Then quickly send the target position to the artillery firing position ... Fight back, give me a fight back immediately..."

The observer squad leader hurriedly agreed and dialed the phone from the artillery firing position.
