Chapter 397: Artillery Encounter

PS: (Thank you for the valuable monthly ticket voted by Wu Ma Mengzhong, Chen Deli, and Dongfeng)

The 1,000 death squads were quickly assembled, plus the forty players who operated the mortars, and these people followed Chen Hao to the outer harbor. The other players, under the command of Winter Silent Snow, entered their respective defense areas in an orderly manner, and the large-caliber fortress guns of the major batteries were also installed, and the jet-black barrels looked hideous, ready to fire at any time to support.

There were 8,000 loaded NPC soldiers gathered on the docks of the Outer Harbor, and the regular NPC army in Cam Ranh Bay should be 10,000, but there were a few hundred artillery left behind to assist in the defense. In addition, Chen Hao also left more than 1,000 NPC elite troops, because he was worried that the players would be chaotic, and this NPC army of more than 1,000 people would come forward to suppress the field.

Nearly 20,000 player troops would theoretically have no problem holding Cam Ranh Bay, but some ill-intentioned players would take the opportunity to cause trouble when they encountered setbacks, which could lead to civil unrest. Chen Hao has handed over the command of the 1,400-strong NPC troops to Dong Lonely Snow, telling her that if any player makes trouble, the NPC troops will be dispatched to suppress it immediately.

All 120,000 Vietnamese players arrived at Cam Ranh Bay, and under the command of Nguyen Jun Hee, they set up an attack stance. To the north, eighty-six 75-caliber mountain guns were pushed forward, and players practicing artillery were scrambling to build artillery positions. Looking at these more than 80 mountain guns, every Vietnamese player could not hide the excitement on their faces, with such powerful artillery and sophisticated equipment, the damned invaders would definitely be driven away.

There are some players in Vietnam who practiced artillery, but only did some theoretical learning by doing tasks, not to mention actual combat, and did not even have a test firing of artillery shells. Although they knew that these players had unqualified artillery, Nguyen Junxi and the others had no choice, after all, it was too difficult to find qualified artillery in Vietnam.

Ruan Junxi and the others thought very simply. This time they were on the attacking side, and the artillery didn't have to be very accurate, as long as they could bombard Cam Ranh Bay. Cam Ranh Bay is so big, no matter how bad the technology of these artillery is, indiscriminate artillery can also help, right? He did not expect artillery to play a decisive role, as long as it could form a certain confrontation. Just don't let the naval artillery and mortars of the Chinese do whatever they want.

The time for the general attack was set for 8 a.m. the next day, and the Vietnamese players camped on the spot and waited for the artillery to complete their positions. After daybreak, all Vietnamese players are ready for battle, and the artillery players begin to reload their shells, and after two rounds of artillery salvos, the player will charge the Chinese positions.

"Boom."

The 75 Mountain Cannon began to roar, and it began to bombard Cam Ranh Bay continuously, but after seeing the effect of the explosion, Ruan Junxi had a toothache. Do as he commands. The first shells were supposed to be demonstrative in nature, and the artillery fired in the direction of the command in Cam Ranh Bay. It's a pity that there was a big problem with the technology of the artillery, even if it was a test firing, it shouldn't be so outrageous, and this shell actually fell on the enemy's forward position.

"Anyway, cannon shooting can always work, no matter where it hits, just hit it crookedly!" Ruan Junxi could only comfort himself like this, and he smiled at the artillery players under him: "It's okay, just shoot a few more shots." Think of it as practice! ”

Vietnamese players bought quite a few cannons, but there were only twenty shells per cannon. It's not much. After the first round of artillery fire, several players lying in the trenches at the forward position of Cam Ranh Bay were scratched by shrapnel, but they did not say a word, and continued to stay on the battlefield after a simple bandage.

Cam Ranh Bay Fort No. 1, which is located on the commanding heights on the side of the port, can be used by fortress guns to attack the sea. It can also suppress enemies on land. Eight 200 mm caliber fortress guns were installed in the battery, and Chen Hao's most important Guan Lianhai was in charge of commanding, and he immediately began to calculate the enemy's ballistic trajectory after the Vietnamese player opened fire, thus confirming the position of the opponent's artillery position.

Guan Lianhai immediately sent a signal corps to the No. 2 and No. 3 batteries, and agreed to return fire together after 20 minutes. Let's fight the opponent's artillery first.

The Vietnamese artillery could not use shells as extravagantly as Cam Ranh Bay because of the lack of shells, and after the first salvo fire, Nguyen Jun Xi ordered the artillery to be suspended and prepared to observe the situation before deciding whether to carry out artillery support. After discovering that the first salvo was not effective, Nguyen Junxi gave the order to continue the shelling, despite the pain of the shells.

Nguyen Jun Xi ordered the artillery to shell the forward positions of Cam Ranh Bay first, and the defensive positions to the west and north of Cam Ranh Bay were densely covered with trenches, and it was necessary to bombard several rounds before launching a charge, otherwise the casualties would be very heavy. Although the Vietnamese artillery was not technically adequate, after a round of test firing, they became somewhat proficient, and there was no problem in bombing the forward positions of Britain.

"Boom."

The 75 Mountain Cannon opened fire again, and the forward position of Cam Ranh Bay was filled with gunsmoke, and a shell fell in a trench in the forward position, and the players in the trench were startled. The red feather happened to be in this trench, and the three players around him were all scratched by shrapnel, and he took the opportunity to agitate: "Brothers, the Vietnamese artillery is very sharp!" And there are 120,000 people attacking on the opposite side, so we will definitely not be able to win if we continue to fight like this! ”

The player lying next to him bandaged his wounds and said unconvinced: "What are they with this artillery, Boss Chen bought two hundred large-caliber fortress guns, and he will kill them later." ”

The red feather pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "Two hundred large-caliber guns? Nabs! Do you believe such nonsense? Chen Baxian was obviously worried that we would escape from the battle, so he fooled us before the battle and said that there were 200 large-caliber guns. If he really had such great firepower, why watch us being suppressed by the artillery of the Vietnamese? ”

The player next to him was speechless for a while, and at this moment, a strong player walked up to the red feather and said with disdain: "You are the kind of uneasy and kind guy that Boss Chen said, right?" Please shut your foul mouth, we came here to resist the Vietnamese voluntarily, even if there is no artillery support, we will hold on, you don't shake the morale of the army here. ”

The red feather snorted coldly, "The truth I said. ”

The strong player was also angry, and he said loudly: "Lao Tzu doesn't care if what you say is the truth or not, as long as you dare to talk nonsense again, Lao Tzu will immediately shoot you." I am the platoon commander appointed by the Iron Blood Rose, and now I am your boss, and Lao Tzu has the power to execute you. ”

The red feather glanced at the player coldly and said, "Optimus Prime, Lao Tzu remembers you, and I will slowly deal with you after returning to China." ”

Optimus Prime said disdainfully: "It seems that you are really the people sent by those big forces in the country, those bosses are really villains, Boss Chen resisted the Vietnamese alone in Cam Ranh Bay, and they also sent people to cause trouble." Put away your threats! After this battle, Lao Tzu will join Cam Ranh Bay immediately, and I want to see how you deal with me. ”

"Cam Ranh Bay?" The red feather sneered: "Soon Cam Ranh Bay will be captured by the Vietnamese, Chen Baxian is just a lost dog......"

"Boom."

Before the red feather could finish speaking, a loud explosion interrupted him, and the 200-mm guns of Battery No. 1 opened fire. The shell was only a test fire and did not hit the enemy's artillery position, but it exploded in the group of Vietnamese players close to the forward position, and the loud explosion shocked many people.

"Adjust the firing elements, target the enemy artillery position, and open fire." After Guan Lianhai personally tested the first shell, he immediately ordered several other fortress guns to start firing. The NPC artillery of Turrets 2 and 3 also adjusted their firing angles and began to shell when they saw Turret 1 firing fire.

"Boom."

"Boom."

A total of three forts were fired, a total of twenty-four fort guns, and these three batteries were built on the heights of Cam Ranh Bay. In the first round of fire, four large-caliber shells hit the enemy's artillery position, killing six artillery players and two guns. Nguyen Junxi, who was directing the shelling at the artillery position, was startled, and he hurriedly called the commander of the artillery battalion under him over and asked what was going on.

"Boss, the enemy's large-caliber artillery has fired, it should be a fortress gun."

"Immediately lock on the enemy's battery and give me a return fire, and you must suppress the artillery of the Huaxia people for me." Ruan Junxi waved his arms and said loudly.

The artillery battalion commander said with a bitter face: "Boss, I listened carefully to the explosion just now, the Huaxia people should have more than 20 200 mm caliber guns firing at the same time, and they are stronger than us in terms of firepower." And their artillery has a longer range, they can hit our artillery positions, we can't hit them. ”

Guan Lianhai was stunned, after buying so many artillery, he was very ambitious, thinking that the firepower was no worse than Cam Ranh Bay, why was this result? After thinking for a while, he gave an order: "We have more than eighty artillery pieces, and they only have more than twenty guns, don't they have an advantage in numbers?" Since you can't hit them here, immediately move the artillery positions forward, and you must suppress their artillery. ”

The artillery battalion commander said with a sad face: "Those of us who practice artillery are half a bucket of water, and it's okay to carry out simple artillery support, but there is no way to lock on to the enemy's artillery position without hot air balloon observation." ”

Ruan Junxi's face twitched, and he said coldly: "Then tell me yourself what to do now is the best choice......

"Boom."

Two more large-caliber shells fell on the artillery position, two mountain guns of seven or five caliber were blown up, and four more artillery players hung up. The loss of four artillery pieces at the beginning of the confrontation made Ruan Junxi feel a lot of pain, and now he knows what to do without asking the artillery battalion commander, he roared at the artillery battalion commander: "Transfer the artillery position to me immediately, transfer to the rear for me to hide, don't fire the artillery easily without my order." ”

The artillery battalion commander finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he immediately instructed the player to transfer the artillery backwards, but more than eighty seventy-five mountain guns could be transferred so quickly. Large-caliber shells in Cam Ranh Bay continued to fall on the artillery positions, and in the process of transferring the artillery positions, more than two dozen artillery players were killed, and again six valuable artillery pieces were lost.
