The huge diagonal striped tires rolled out deep marks on the ground, the ropes connecting the war horses were stretched straight, and the thick and long barrels erected towards the sky brought an invisible coercion to people. They were all staring at each other, and they were reluctant to take their eyes off.

The Hunan army was inland, and the Anqing section of the Yangtze River was blockaded by the Democratic Alliance Army, and the ships going upstream had to be inspected before they could be released, and if it was found that there was entrainment of arms, the captain of the ship would be shot, and all the goods and ships would be confiscated, so no one dared to help the Hunan army smuggle weapons.

Although Zeng Guofan sent people from Yunnan to enter Burma to contact the British, but the mountain road was difficult to travel, and it took a long time to obtain, so the artillery used by the Hunan army was still a variety of Hongyi cannons.

Zhao Liewen couldn't help but say, "Commander Wang, how is the performance of this artillery?" ”

Wang Feng smiled mysteriously: "I'll see it right away, let's expand it here first." ”

Less than ten miles from the forefront, two artillery brigades staggered the cannons, with the 122 mm caliber a little ahead and the 152 mm caliber slightly behind, and the horses were also untied, blindfolded by a special person, and led to the rear farther away.

"Bullet!"

With a command, the rear mortar of each cannon was opened, and two soldiers carried a huge yellow Chengcheng cannonball into the barrel, and then closed the mortar.

"Positioning!"

From the far left, center to the far right, three 122 mm caliber and three 152 mm caliber are taken at equal distances, and the gunner is based on the sight. Shake the wheel so that the barrel slowly moves up and down. After about a minute, the angle was fixed one after another.

"Plug your ears!"

Each artilleryman immediately plugged his ears with earplugs.

An artillery battalion commander stood in front. Wave the red flag!

"Knock knock~~" Six canopy fires erupted at the same time, accompanied by a sharp whistle, drawing six arcs and falling into the position in front, these six shells fell at different points, ranging from the forefront of the position to two miles deep into the position.

Several corpses were blown out, dirt flew all over the sky, and even a light cannon was lifted into the air for more than ten meters!

Bao Ling's eyes shrunk, his face full of disbelief, and the others were also dumbfounded. Is this really a Chinese-made artillery? Judging by the elevation angle of the artillery, two miles deep into the position is not the farthest range!

You know, this is almost a distance of six kilometers, and the naval guns with a caliber of nearly 300 millimeters recently developed by the British can only hit about 10 kilometers, but how big is the caliber of the artillery of the Democratic Alliance Army? Could it be that his artillery technology surpassed that of Europe?

Everyone rubbed their eyes!

Genui, who has the rank of vice admiral, knows more about artillery than Bowing, and said with an ugly face: "Mr. Belling, have you noticed?" His trajectory is very stable, and all six guns are equally stable, what does this say? I am sure that the artillery technology of the ADD forces will not be inferior to ours, Britain and France. Damn, where the hell did he get the technology? ”

Genui refused to believe that the artillery technology of the Democratic Alliance Army was borrowed from Britain at first, and then relied on independent research and development. In his eyes, China has developed somewhat. But the background is shallow, how can it be compared with the old Western powers such as Britain and France?

Artillery technology is not just about casting a strong gun. It also involves many different disciplines such as ballistics, materials science, and thermalism, which one has not been tempered thousands of times and contains the painstaking efforts of several generations?

"All right, gentlemen, don't think so much!" Bao Ling was still in shock, Jing Yihua had already taken over and said: "These six artillery pieces are positioning, and the following is about to officially bombard the position, the battle will be extremely difficult, let's think about how to resist the attack of the Democratic Alliance." ”

Ye Mingchen's heart was a little chilly, and he subconsciously asked, "Do we want to retreat our position?" ”

"No way!" Wu Chongyao didn't even want to refuse: "Your Excellency, it is a taboo for soldiers to retreat without a fight, and soldiers must have the consciousness of sacrificing their lives for the country. So what kind of country should we build? At the beginning, it was better to lead the gentry and the people of the two provinces to surrender directly, wouldn't it be enough to get the Democratic Alliance army?

What's more, the position of Yuexiu Mountain is very important, and the retreat of the defense line will shake the morale of the army and threaten the safety of Yuexiu Mountain, so you can't give an inch, please give an order immediately to the president, fight to the death, but if anyone takes half a step back, cut it! ”

Ye Mingchen also knew that he was cowardly, Yuexiu Mountain was lost, and the artillery fire of the Democratic Alliance Army could cover most of Guangzhou City, but Wu Chongyao's attitude made him feel unhappy, so he said with a calm face: "Blindly defending will not solve the problem, sooner or later the military spirit will collapse due to excessive casualties, may I ask Premier Wu what is the solution?" ”

Wu Chongyao looked ahead and muttered: "Last night, a Democratic Alliance army of about 8,000 people penetrated between Guangzhou and Foshan, and its intention must be to intercept reinforcements from the direction of Foshan, and even prevent us from escaping!" How can he be so sure that he will eat us?

If this lone army can be defeated, it will definitely be a great boost in the morale of the army, please ask His Excellency the President to order the defenders of Foshan to assist General Lê's Vietnamese warriors, attack from both sides, under the front and back attacks, how long can he last? ”

"Do you want to stop watching?" Nguyen Bo Yi showed a look of embarrassment, and he was also frightened by the artillery fire of the Shanghai Democratic Alliance, isn't the life of the Vietnamese fate?

"Humph!" Wu Chongyao snorted coldly, take the money and don't do anything, and treat everyone else as a fool? Immediately gave Genui a look.

Genui nodded knowingly and said: "Lord Ruan, according to reliable information, the Democratic Alliance army did not carry heavy artillery, with the 50,000 elites of your country, and then the defenders of Foshan are flanking, what is there to worry about with only 8,000 people?" Please don't delay the fighter plane, Lord Ruan, and give us an opportunity to evaluate your country's true combat effectiveness. ”

Genui's words carried a hint of threat, if the Vietnamese army's combat effectiveness is not good, then don't blame us for tearing up the agreement.

Although Ruan Boyi was annoyed, he didn't dare to offend Genui.

At this time, Pa Xia Li also said: "Lord Ruan, Wang Feng has a strong revenge mentality, if he wins, he will definitely retaliate against your country in the future, and at that time, it will be the Ruan Dynasty that faces the invasion of the Democratic Alliance alone, what do you think is the chance of victory?"

And now that we have Britain, France, and the United States, and the Democratic Republic of South Vietnam, so many allies are standing by your side, why don't you fight with the Democratic Alliance with all your might? With several times the number of troops, even if the weapons and equipment are a little backward, what impact can it have? ”

Ruan Boyi thought about it, before he came, he didn't expect the Democratic Alliance Army to be so strong, and he really didn't have much confidence in relying on the Ruan Dynasty to fight against the Democratic Alliance Army, so he gritted his teeth at the moment: "I will now inform General Li and ask him to lead the army to fight!" ”

Ruan Boyi turned his head and gave a few orders, and the two attendants ran down.

"Knock knock~~" Suddenly, a deafening cannon sound sounded on the opposite side, the light points in the sky poured out row by row, the forefront of the position bloomed everywhere, a puff of fire bloomed in the mud and sand, about four rounds later, the landing point gradually moved forward, and steadily swept in the direction of the main position of Yuexiu Mountain!
