Dong Ku will not tell Zhao Shangzhi that Soviet Russia has made a move on the border, he is not worried about Ferrey, it does not matter whether Ferre is Stalin's loyal lackey, after all, he has not yet mastered Zhao Shangzhi's troops, he is worried that when he learns that Soviet Russia is attacking, Zhao Shangzhi will be in chaos again. Qiqihar cannot afford to lose, this is the fundamental whether he can get up or not, if the oil fields that are not stable will be exposed to the Japanese artillery, there will be no need to bomb by planes, and there will be no need to think about oil extraction.

When Dong Ku hurried back to Harbin to prepare for a possible big battle, the artillery battle of Hutou had already begun.

At the same time that the first shell fell on the side of the tiger's head, Gorbanov loudly ordered to return fire.

Before his words fell, all the staff officers and generals in the command headquarters stopped their movements and quietly listened to the movements outside.

There was a seeping roar outside the gate of the underground headquarters that was not closed, and this was the reason why everyone stopped moving, and they were all waiting for this shell to fall and see what kind of damage it would bring to the position.

Experienced old Maozi has already heard that the caliber of these guns is above 100, and the whistling sound of shells is enough to explain.

The brief pause was broken by a roaring explosion, and the earthquake trembled, and a loud rumbling sound was heard into the command headquarters.

Didn't fall on the cutting edge?

Everyone in Command heard the explosion behind them, not in front of them.

"Not good! The other side is shelling our artillery positions! ”

A major chief of staff who could hear the distance of the explosion exclaimed.

"Find the opponent's artillery position and suppress it!!"

Gorbanov yelled,

"Yes! Comrade Lieutenant Colonel! ”

A major in charge of artillery command shouted the order.

Just as they were preparing to counterattack, the artillery shells on the opposite side suddenly intensified, and the whistling sound drowned out all the noise, passing over the head of the command headquarters in the sound of explosions.

"More than twenty cannon ......"

One of the chiefs of staff pushed down his glasses and said affirmatively.

At this time. Several shells fell from the two artillery positions of Soviet Russia with a bang, and in the shaking of the ground and mountains, pieces of frozen soil the size of millstones were lifted, and trucks were overturned, and the shells on the cars were like candy balls, rolling all over the ground.

The soldiers on the battlefield panicked. They all hid in the base of the artillery in the explosion to escape the shrapnel flying for their lives.

But they can dodge shrapnel, how can they dodge the shock wave?

In the raging shock wave, the tall cannon body was flipped to the ground like a building block, and the gun carriage twisted, so that only one steel tube barrel remained intact for the cannon.

"Evacuate your position!!"

"Evacuate the position!!"

Seeing that the destruction of the position was inevitable, one by one the commanders shouted and rushed out of the position.

The artillerymen also did not dare to hide in the roar, and their overcoats flickered. The girl ran out of the position regardless of it.

Once the artillery position is bitten by the enemy's artillery, the result is one, destruction.

In the midst of the noise, in the confusion of human figures, the second wave of shells flew again, whistling, and landed on the position like birds.

Rumble!

The earth shook violently, and all the soldiers who ran could not stand on their feet in this violent tremor. But they didn't dare to stop. Even though their companions flew into the sky from a few meters away, they still ran wildly against the shockwave. I didn't care that the shells fell in front of me.

At this moment, a cannonball landed on a truck, and with a shocking bang, a dazzling fire rolled up around the car, and the violent shock wave spread out to the wave, devouring everything in its path. And with it, more shells were detonated.

In the headquarters, Gorbanov stumbled in a violent concussion, and his head slammed on the corner of the table, and the man fell.

"Comrade Lieutenant Colonel!"

A close staff officer steadied himself on the table and reached for Gorbanov.

The electric lights on the roof of the headquarters shed shook violently at this moment. Then there was a snap, and the glass splashed everywhere, and the bright command headquarters was plunged into darkness.

"Ask about the damage!!"

"Call the artillery positions!!"

"I need lights! Flashlight! Comrade Lieutenant Colonel is wounded! ”

In the darkness, all kinds of noisy shouts were chaotic.

At the same time, the front of the tiger head was high up, and several telescopes saw the fire tumbling in the distance.

"! Dry the artillery position of the old man! ”

"This explosion definitely ignited a cannonball!!"

Several people shouted excitedly, and then, the clear code call sounded.

"Mountain Eagle Mountain Eagle, I'm a sparrow, the meal is over, please withdraw from the table! At the end of the meal, please withdraw from the table! ”

There was silence in the headquarters, and they all listened to the sound coming from the walkie-talkie with their ears pricked up.

"Mountain Eagle received, Mountain Eagle received, this is withdrawn!"

When the walkie-talkie replied that it was possible to leave the seat, there was a roar of cheers from the headquarters.

"Destroy Lao Maozi's artillery position!"

"Victory in the first battle!!"

Xing Yuan also smiled and said, "These rabbit cubs haven't practiced in vain!" ”

With the call, the artillery bombardment of positions No. 1 and No. 2 stopped, and within ten minutes before and after, the artillery battle died down.

While the Tiger Head Fortress was immersed in the joy of victory, the Russian artillery positions were in shambles.

Twenty guns of 105 and 150 were overturned in the detonation of the shells, and the serious thick barrels were deformed, twisted, and lay on the bare ground of dirt.

At the scene, there was not a single living person, all the artillery and the trucks on the position were destroyed and torn apart in the explosion, and the snow melted in the scorching heat, revealing the ground below.

The position a kilometer away was more fortunate, several shells fell and only two cannons were overturned, the rest were still intact, and the truckloads of shells were also driven out of the position in the explosion, and stopped far on the road.

The Russian soldiers on the position, who were not killed, stared blankly at the smoke billowing in the distance, and they understood better than anyone else. There, it is estimated that there are not too many people alive.

The panic in the Russian command headquarters lasted for more than ten seconds, and the moment the flashlights lit up, Gorbanov was helped up.

"Report the loss!"

Gorbanov shook and yelled as he pushed away the hand of a major who was trying to wipe the blood from his forehead.

His voice fell, and a staff officer who had just put down the phone replied, "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel." Position No. 7 lost two howitzers 105, and position No. 3 could not be contacted......"

Gorbanov took the gauze handed by a staff officer, pressed it on the wound on his forehead, and shouted: "Position No. 3 cannot be contacted? Then don't send someone to contact! Send a phone soldier to check the line!! ”

"Yes!"

After the voice of the command rang out, the command department fell silent in an instant.

Gorbanov gasped twice, then calmly said, "Order." Prepare all artillery positions, find the opponent's artillery positions and destroy them! ”

"Yes!"

Several voices rang out almost simultaneously, followed by calls to several artillery positions.

Gorbanov did not wait for the news of the No. 3 position, such a violent explosion, the No. 3 artillery position must have been destroyed by the enemy, which can be thought of with the back heels, and to check is only to confirm the losses.

After a few minutes of silence, the direction in which the opposite shells were flying was confirmed, when Gorbanov received a report that the coordinates had been locked. He viciously ordered: "All artillery covers a range of 500 meters there, ten rounds per cannon!" up there!! ”

At this time, Xing Yuan was waiting for the forward observation post to send back the exact news, and the artillery did not retreat into the hole.

The artillery positions fired by the Japanese were extremely hidden, and even if they were found to be in an accurate position, it would be difficult to hit the position. In addition, the artillery in the position has no doors, and the shells are all in the holes, and there will be no ignition of the shells and the explosion of the shells.

And those peripherals of mountain artillery bases and field artillery batteries. At this time, no artillery was placed, and there was no artillery at the anti-aircraft gun base. Xing Yuan withdrew to the cave and let the soldiers practice artillery exercises day and night, so he was not worried that the enemy would bring damage to the artillery position.

The scouts at the front have been gone for a few minutes, and it seems that they have not yet touched the vicinity of the opponent's position, or have not bypassed the defensive line of the Russian army's forward line. The news has not yet been able to get back.

Just as everyone was waiting for the news, a dense whistling sound suddenly came from the sky.

"Here we go again!"

In the command headquarters, everyone was shocked, and the other party's revenge came.

Just as everyone was pondering, the cannonballs fell with a whistling sound.

The earth trembled with a booming bang. In the clouds of smoke, frozen soil and debris flew all over the sky, and the snow was blown away by the shock wave, and large craters were formed in the firelight.

"Oh yes! So dense! ”

"The big nose is angry, I'm afraid there are hundreds of cannons this time......"

Inside the bunker, the soldiers crouched there with their guns in their arms and listened to the explosions overhead, and couldn't help but be speechless.

Without waiting for the shells to fall, Xing Yuan shouted loudly: "Report the coordinates, accurate to within 100 meters!" Positions No. 5 and No. 6 are ready, and positions No. 3, 4, and 5 are ready! ”

The dense roar made Xing Yuan realize that the other party was really angry, and I was afraid that there would be at least a hundred artillery pieces.

Although the position is poured with cement fifty kilometers away, it can't withstand the continuous bombardment of the indiscriminate artillery, and Xing Yuan will not let the opponent's artillery stay, he wants to destroy all the artillery positions on the opposite side!

With Xing Yuan's order, in the sound of explosions, the shelters at the entrances of the caves were withdrawn, the big iron doors opened with a bang, and the large-caliber guns rumbled forward on the track, and then poked out the muzzles. In the larger cave doors, the mountain artillery and field artillery were pushed out by twenty or thirty people, and were pushed onto the fort along the smooth cement road, and then the bracket was opened, and the cannon barrel was erected.

The Russian shelling did not stop from the beginning, and dense shells fell on the front line and on the mountains, blowing up stones and splashing frozen ground.

However, the cement fortress of the Japanese was not ordinarily strong, and the 75-caliber shells fell on it leaving only a dark smoke ring, which could not cause any damage to the pillbox. Even if a 105-caliber shell hits directly, it will only jump out of the cement slag at the point of impact, and it will not have any effect on the main body.

In the explosion, one by one the guns were in place, and in the smoke of gunpowder in front, the muzzles of the guns were slowly raised.

The coordinates, reported one by one at this moment, according to the coordinates obtained by the forward observation post to calculate the trajectory, there were a total of thirteen artillery positions on the opposite side, and the artillery pieces were roughly 100, ranging in caliber from 75 to 220, and there were no heavy guns of 300.

"Position 1 locks on to the target!"

"Position 2 locks on to the target!"

"Outer No. 3 Position Locks on Target ......"

As the voices sounded, all the guns on this side were in position, and according to the distance of the coordinates, they each locked on to the target...... (To be continued......)
