Victory in the first battle
Liu Hai was ordered to command the Wusong East and West Fort to resist the enemy from the sea, but after arriving at the fort, he found that in addition to a limited number of new guns, most of the forts were some old German Krupp guns, although the caliber was large, but the firing range was limited, and they were purchased in the former Qing Dynasty. It is not so easy for such an armament to fight against the Japanese warships at sea! But Liu Hai is not discouraged, since he is ordered to command, he must go all out.
"Report, lowly bangs are ordered to come and report!" Liu Hai stood in front of Weng Zhaoyuan, the commander-in-chief of the Zhabei front-line. "You're the magic bangs! Welcome, welcome! After Weng Zhaoyuan returned the salute, he said to him, "This time your task is very heavy, you have to rely on the artillery you have now to resist the attack of the Japanese navy, the army and the air force, but there is only one principle, that is, the Wusong Fort must not be lost, but also to support the army in combat, I hope you can hit every shot, with a limited number of shells to achieve the maximum results!" "Yes!" Liu Hai said: "Before coming to you, I have already been to the fort to see, but the cannon is very old, but it is not without combat power, but it needs to make some adjustments and deployments!" "My suggestion is to use the limited new artillery for concealed fire, use the old artillery to attract the enemy's firepower, use the new run as a killer weapon, and if the enemy organizes a landing, then ask the infantry and artillery to cooperate to thwart the enemy!" "Okay, you go and organize and adjust, I'm afraid the Japanese army will land soon!" Weng Zhaoyuan waved his hand and said, "The fight has started on the Zhabei side, and the Bingshui algae side has also started, Qiujiang Road, Guangdong Road, Baoshan Road, Hengbang Road, Tiantongan Road, Qingyun Road, etc., using ironclad cars as cover, rushed towards us!" "Okay, I'll prepare for war immediately, and I will never let a single Japanese soldier land from Wusong!"
On the top of the battery, Liu Hai accepted the command of the battery, and then moved several new guns from the east battery to the west battery, and then arranged the order of fire segmented bombardment according to the caliber and range of those old guns, and the important one is that the new guns cannot shoot without orders! All the shells were placed in the storehouse under the base of the battery, and holes were made in the roof of the storehouse, and the shells were transported in hanging baskets, so that the exposure time of the shells to the outside could be avoided as much as possible. In addition, Liu Hai also measured the sea surface distance in all directions of the fort, and marked the shooting Zhuyuan, and also established a wired connection with the east and west forts, and commanded the battle by himself in the west fort! In addition to this, Liu Hai also asked for a battalion of infantry to be transferred as a coordination and protection battery. I don't know much about the Japanese warship Liu Hai, but Liu Hai has been completely prepared, and when it is far away, it will use long-range and large-caliber long-range coastal defense guns to strike, if the expectations are good, in order to increase the accuracy of the artillery bombardment and shooting, the Japanese warships will definitely shoot at close range, so as to avoid the coastal defense guns entering the dead angle of their shooting, at this time, they will use the new guns to strike nearby, and when the Japanese troops retreat, they will use the coastal defense guns to strike, so that they can use a limited number of guns to carry out a triple strike, and give the Japanese ships the maximum blow.
"Commander Liu, the Japanese are here!" A battalion commander next to him pointed to the smoke of chance above the sea! "Long-range cannon preparation!" Bang Hai ordered, "Shoot accurately according to the shooting table, and try to give a blow at the longest range!" "With the order, the gunners of the whole battery began to manipulate the cannons and began to make preparations. Liu Hai looked at the four Japanese destroyers on the sea and slowly leaned up, and after running to the gun sight to observe, the distance was more than 5,000 meters, and it had not yet entered the firing range, looking at this data, Liu Hai couldn't help but sigh, this cannon is too old, if this distance is a German gun, it has been fighting for a long time! "Boom!" An explosion sounded, and the battery was blown off a corner! "!" Liu Hai had already seen that the opponent's naval guns had fired, and after an explosion, a series of explosions followed! "Attention!" Bangs didn't bother with the exploding shell, just raised a hand, "Start the first aim!" I heard the sound of a mechanical winch turning behind me, "Look at it again!" Liu Hai ordered again, and after a small winch turning sound, Liu Hai observed that the distance of the Japanese ship had been pulled into three thousand meters, and it had already entered the firing range! Fire! "Liu Hai finally gave the order, and a dozen large-caliber old shore defense guns finally began to shoot huge shells out, and more than a dozen shells began to fly out.
"Not bad!" Bangs watched the first shells hit a destroyer, and the first shot hit, which was still very good for this old gun. Looking at the billowing smoke coming out of the Japanese ship, I thought to myself that although these guns are always a little old, the power is still quite good, worthy of the German Krupp cannons, although the range is a little worse, the power is still the same! "Shoot again!" Liu Hai constantly observed the distance of the Japanese ship through the gun scope, which was about the same as his own estimate, and the Japanese destroyer was still advancing, trying to shoot at close range to increase its power and accuracy. The results of the second batch of shells were even more optimistic, the destroyer that had just been hit was hit by another shot, and another destroyer next to him was also hit! "Great, keep putting!" Liu Hai was very happy to see that two Japanese destroyers were hit! "That's it! Long-range guns stop firing, close-range guns start firing, new guns are ready! Concentrate your fire on the destroyed destroyer that was hit with all your firepower, and try to sink it in one go! Liu Hai gave the order with confidence. All of them! "Twenty or so close-range guns began to fire. At the same time, the Japanese naval guns were also hitting more and more accurately, and the shells were getting denser and denser, and there were constantly shells hitting the batteries, and there were already casualties.
Liu Hai watched more than two dozen shells keep hitting the already wounded destroyer, and knew that it was time for new guns to fire! "New artillery attack with all your might, sink that Japanese ship!" Liu Hai stopped looking at the gun scope, spread his legs and ran to the new artillery position, personally picked up a cannon, and started shooting! "Aim for all!" Bangs shake the cannon and start aiming! "Boom!" After an explosion, Bang Hai turned his head to see that the place where the gun sight was blown to pieces, and the gun sight didn't know where it went! "!" If it's a little later, you'll be reimbursed! "Start shooting!" Liu Hai roared angrily and pulled the ignition rope fiercely, and the shells of the six new guns shot out fiercely, and Liu Hai watched the shooting effect while asking people to load the cannonballs. All six shells were fired, two of which hit the other destroyer, and the other four all hit the wounded destroyer, which was already on fire, and there was no way to live!
"Good fight! Concentrate your firepower and hit another one! Bangs shouted, shook the lift handle, and started aiming!" Damn it! "If you want to run, it's not that easy! After the bangs were aimed, they immediately began to shoot, but unfortunately the Japanese warships had already begun to withdraw with all their strength while firing their guns! This round of artillery has nothing to gain except to hit the main gun of a destroyer! "! Stop shooting! Overhaul the artillery, prepare the shells, count the casualties, and prepare for another battle! After Liu Hai finished speaking, he beckoned to call the herald, "Report, Commander Weng Zhaohuan, our battery repelled the attack of the enemy ship once, sank one enemy ship, and damaged two!" "Yes!"
