112. Bombardment of the city
As soon as they woke up, Yucheng was surrounded, which did not bode well for the Hunan soldiers. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The officers who had come back to their senses immediately yelled and kicked the men who were still sleeping in the barracks into a scream, and then rushed to the city wall.
"It's broken, it's broken!"
The officer defending the city was a battalion commander, and although he still had composure on his face, he was bitter in his heart.
Sooner or later, you're going to be beaten up next to the red zone, so the big guys are ready to slip away. Especially after hearing that the Red Army was going to attack Xiangtan on a large scale, the whole city was even more nervous.
The regiment commander went to Changsha under the pretext of reporting on his work. The chief of staff even led a bunch of people back to Chenzhou to hold a birthday banquet. The heavy burden of Yucheng was naturally carried by the battalion commander directly under the regiment.
"I'll just say why you're so generous, it turns out that it's for Lao Tzu!"
The battalion commander has only been proud for two days, and the Red Army has been killed at the door, not to mention being promoted to become rich, if you can save your life, even if your ancestors bless you!
"Bury water tanks around the foot of the city, and report it as soon as you hear the sound of digging tunnels."
Who does not know that the Red Army is good at digging tunnels, if they really hear movement. If no reinforcements appear, then hurry up and surrender!
Thinking of this, the battalion commander was even more anxious, and he shouted loudly to the officer beside him:
"The first battalion is on the ramparts, and the second battalion is ready to support at any time. The three battalions were responsible for the security of the city, and they all widened their eyes, and out of the internal response of the Red Army, our heads had to be moved. ā
"Battalion commander, there's movement in the Red Army outside!"
Just then, a herald ran in panting.
The battalion commander went straight to the city without saying a word, and looking at the busy figure in the distance, he was even more frightened.
The officers and soldiers in the city were all crying and sad, and the battalion commander could only cheer them up.
"Don't panic, as long as the city wall is still there, we will still be saved!"
Although the walls of the city are not high, it is still an impenetrable barrier. As long as they hold on to it, let the Red Army retreat in the face of difficulties.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed.
"What's that?"
The battalion commander picked up the binoculars and looked at them for a while, and saw that the Red Army had launched a strange-looking thing that looked like a thick pipe rack on two wheels.
A soldier glanced through the crack in the brick, his lips trembling for a long time, and then he spoke.
"Grandpa, is this a cannon, why is the pipe so thick?"
The Red Army adjusted its direction, and the thick pipe was facing right at them, and for a moment the people in the city trembled with fear.
Only one old soldier, Youzi, did not think so, he put his head out of the battlement, and after a few careful glances, he turned back and said with a big grin:
"One by one, they panicked, it was the earthen cannon left over from the Dajin Dynasty, and it would hit a big iron ball, and the range was not as far as the old sleeve. When it gets closer, let's give it a few hard guys, and it can be regarded as a ....... ā
Before he could finish speaking, the veteran's head swung like a goose a few times, and the whole person fell to the bottom of the city.
Someone under the city wall immediately shouted:
"Special mother, before the war, someone is tired of living? Jumping off the wall without looking at the place, even if the flesh and blood are blurred, it will be forgotten, and Lao Tzu will be splashed with blood! ā
"Who is this, can't you think so?"
"Zhente Niang is stupid, she died at a bad time, she can usually get a coffin, and if you fight, you can only throw it out of the city."
Just when there was chaos, an officer with a crying voice instantly shut up the people around him.
"Don't be foolish, it's the Red Army sharpshooter!"
Suddenly, there was silence on and off the city.
"Be steady before shooting, don't hold your breath, and relax your whole body ......."
Chen Daniu and Shi Wa are now instructors at the Marksman School, and they are easily not allowed to go to the battlefield. Because they had the first special merit of the Red Army, they also had the special marksman badge issued by the military district. It's a medal made of two pieces of pure gold, so much so that some people joke that it is enough to eat half a lifetime if it is exchanged for money.
"Bang!"
Marksmen use original bullets, and the muzzle smoke is very small when firing, so it is more difficult to be detected.
"It's a little lower, and when the distance reaches three hundred meters, even if the ruler is already open, the muzzle of the gun must be raised a little higher. The ****** of the Jinling plant is weaker, and the trajectory is more curved ....... ā
Looking at the disappearing enemies on the city wall, Chen Daniu said patiently.
The shot just now should have been in the back, but it was hit at this distance, and the person didn't need to be saved.
Seeing that the enemy on the city had been suppressed, Qin Lang shouted:
"Flying thunder cannons ready to shoot."
He was also a little apprehensive before, after all, the range of the flying thunder cannon could only reach more than 300 meters at most. And the distance to build a position is even closer. If there are a few sharpshooters on the opposite side, I'm afraid that a few sappers will not survive. The terrain of Yucheng was so high that it was easy to observe the movement of the Red Army positions, which had no way to conceal them. I thought of several ways before, but I gave up because I didn't have the operability, and finally chose the way of covering the sharpshooter.
"The flying thunder cannon has entered the position, please ask the division commander for instructions."
Because it involves the launch of new weapons, Guo Bing, the commander of the engineering company, is in charge this time.
"Let's get started!"
Qin Lang said in a deep voice.
The observer turned the city wall into a set of numbers, and then the flying thunder cannon was lowered by the crank, and the muzzle of the black hole hole was immediately aimed at the gray-white city wall in the distance.
"Gun No. 1, gun No. 2, ready."
"No. 1 run, No. 2 gun, ready, put!"
With Guo Bing's shout, the two hand-cranked generators rotated rapidly. In just an instant, the Flying Thunder Cannon emitted a huge roar, and the shining flames erupted from the tiny holes in the base one by one. In the black smoke, a huge object flew out slowly.
The Flying Thunder Cannon only shook slightly, which made the sappers present let out a burst of cheers, and they no longer had to fear that it would turn over.
"Whew!"
Guo Bing also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the pocket watch in his hand, and looked up to observe the trajectory of the flying thunderball. However, a loud noise came from afar, which made the people of the engineer company so angry that they slapped their thighs.
"Oops, it didn't hit!"
"It's about twenty meters closer, and if you want to fill half a medicine bag, the muzzle of the gun should be raised by a few degrees."
"Hurry up and brush the gun chamber, is there any scum just now, so the seal is not enough."
A few minutes later, the sapper was ready to happen again, and Guo Bing carefully checked the target before shouting:
"Ready, put."
"Bang, bang."
After two loud bangs, the thunderbolt flew out with a sharp whistling, and everyone's eyes fell on them again.
"Boom, boom!"
The roof of a house instantly broke through the fog caused by the explosion, and it rushed straight into the air before slowly dispersing and falling.
"That was the castle tower just now?"
"It should be half the size of the castle tower."
"Look, the White Army is raising the white flag!"
