The first time the cannon was fired
After a long period of preparation, Regiment Commander Wang finally received the order to attack, and the whole regiment was incorporated into the Southern Route Army with Chen Cheng as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, and marched from the garrison to Jiangxi. Liu Hai and Regiment Commander Wang urged the whole regiment to prepare ammunition, bring all the equipment, and all the artillery was towed by cars, and began to march towards Jiangxi. Commander Wang was full of confidence, and Liu Hai was also excited, this was the first time he participated in actual combat, and it was also the first time he had the opportunity to apply what he had learned to the battlefield, so Liu
Hai was very, very excited, running along the way to urge the troops, check whether the equipment kept up, and sing military songs to boost morale, along the way the whole regiment could hear the sound of Liu Hai busy, Commander Wang saw Liu Hai's behavior in his eyes, happy in his heart, and happy that he had found such an excellent deputy. After more than half a month of marching, the troops have arrived near Lichuan! Things were done in a hurry, as soon as the troops arrived, they received a combat order, and the whole regiment went to Dongpingxu to support the Xue Yue Department of the national army there to attack Dongpingxu! Regardless of fatigue, according to the needs of the battle, Commander Wang ordered the whole regiment to leave half of its troops on standby, and the rest all marched to Dongpingxu to support the battle! As soon as Liu Hai saw that he had a combat mission, he hurriedly found Commander Wang, expressing his willingness to lead the team to support, hoping that Commander Wang would agree. Commander Wang looked at Liu Hai, and with a wave of his hand, Liu Hai led more than 20 cannons to Dongping Market!
After arriving at Dongping Xu, Liu Hai found that there were five national army divisions gathered here, and the opposite side was the * Red Third Army Corps, after reading the enemy report, Liu Hai learned that the other party did not have heavy firearms, and although Dongping Market was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but he had more than 20 guns, as long as he commanded properly, there was no problem for five divisions to capture Dongping Xu.
Liu Hai looked at the map and calculated, the Dongping Market is not a big place, and it can't accommodate all the strength of the Red Third Army Corps, it seems that the other party wants to use refueling tactics to constantly replenish troops and confront the national army, if this is the case, the key to his support operation this time is whether he can be the support of the opponent's support force to Dongping Xu! Liu Hai took the binoculars, climbed to a tree, carefully inspected the terrain near Dongping Market, and found that the scale of the drawings he used was wrong, the main position of Dongping Market was nearly 300 meters different from the position marked on the drawings, and the road near Dongping Market, especially the key section of the road to blockade * support, the error was 500 meters smaller! Carefully glanced at the map in his hand, fuck, it turned out to be the third year of Guangxu! Liu Hai was speechless for a while, but fortunately he checked it himself, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to hit the place if he hit the barrel red. Back to the troops, Liu Hai divided the twenty cannons into two groups, a group of attacking troops advanced to the offensive position of Dongping Xu, and used the method of direct attack support within the visual range to support the national army, this group was all composed of veterans, because the veterans have good skills, and the sight range * hit 100 shots! The second group marched to a ditch southwest of Dongpingxu, and from there blockaded a section of the road to the east of Dongpingxu, and this group was composed entirely of Whampoa students, and arranged in advance for the outpost observation group to carry telescopes and a communication squad to go out to a concealed place to observe the movements of the opponent's support troops, and report the enemy's route and casualties back to the artillery command at any time. There were two Huangpu students who were responsible for the calculation of shooting Zhu Yuan, and after the arrangement was made, Liu Hai stayed in the second group by himself, because this is the key to whether or not he can occupy Dongping Ruins!
"Report to the supervisor, the frontal attack has been launched, our artillery support is strong, the attack is very smooth, after an hour of fierce fighting, it is estimated that the other side has suffered more than half of the casualties!" Signal Corps Report! "Okay, got it!" Liu Hai immediately sent his own observation team. "Remember the location I found you? If you find it and hide it, you know the shooting and shelling area we have calculated, and when * enters, immediately hit the signal flare! Liu Hai instructed the observation group that was about to depart. Supervisor we remember, rest assured! "The leader of the observation team is that Wu Fatzi, and now he is completely convinced by the bangs, and Wu Fatzi left with his own observation team! Bangs let people pay attention to the signal flares at all times, and they are checking whether the shells are stacked, whether the gun carriage has been stationed, and whether the spacing of each cannon meets the standard! After some inspection, Liu Hai was sure that he had all entered the state, so he stared at the east side, waiting for Wu Fatzi's signal flare!
After about twenty minutes, a signal flare flew up, and Liu Hai saw that the signal flare was rising, and hurriedly ordered artillery fire to prepare! "Bullet! Load! Back off! Launch! With the slogan of the flag bearer, Liu Hai saw the quality of this group of Whampoa students, from the beginning of the bomb to the launch of the shells, more than a dozen personnel all completed the loading and firing with regular and uniform movements, and one cannon after another fired the shells out! A few minutes later, a loud explosion was heard at the target! "Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Liu Hai urged on the side, because the biggest key to blockade and block the artillery bombardment is to shoot non-stop, and the other party can't find intermittent passages from their own artillery fire, so Liu Hai hurriedly urged the soldiers to speed up the rate of fire! Soldiers and officers reloaded and fired as fast as they could, and explosions at the target were heard continuously. "All artillery fire shifted twenty meters to the left!" Bangs gave the order, and after adjusting the target, the cannon roared again! "Report!" A GI ran over and said, "The outpost observer messenger is back!" "Call him here!" Bangs shouted. "Report! Our artillery fire is fierce, * reinforcements suffered heavy casualties, the most surprising thing is that the other side desperately broke through the artillery fire at any cost to reinforce it, there are about hundreds of people in reserve gathered at a distance of two hundred meters from the west side of our blockade section, but our artillery fire smashed into the enemy group like long eyes, only a dozen of the enemy's hundreds of people ran out, and the others died under our artillery fire! Chief Wu asked me to convey two words to the superintendent - God! After the correspondent finished speaking, he saluted and left!" Overseer, God! That Wu fat man's eyes have grown to the sky, but he doesn't praise people casually, today he said that you are a god, it seems that you are a true god! "After hearing the battle report, those Huangpu students were so happy that they high-fived each other!" Temporarily stop firing, cool the barrel, prepare the next round of ammunition, and the opponent is likely to counterattack! Bangs gave the order. Liu Hai picked up the map and looked at it, all the error directions have been changed, looking at the indication on the map, Liu Hai suddenly found that the slope of a hillside does not seem to be very high, and it seems that it can be passed from anywhere!
Just as Liu Hai was thinking, the signal flare rang again, and the officers and men of the artillery regiment immediately turned the cannon around to the location of the yuan measurement to shoot! "Quick! Be fierce! To make * no one climb over! Bangs urged. Don't worry, supervision, we're not fish belly! "A Whampoa student shouted and pulled the triggering rope fiercely!" Report! A correspondent reported that "our army has captured Dongping Ruins, and the enemy has retreated!" Chief Chen ordered our army to assemble in Dongping Market and stand by! "Yes!" Liu Hai heard that Dongping Ruins had been conquered, and his heart relaxed for a while, it took less than an hour from the attack to the end, it seemed that his artillery fire still played a role, this was the first time he fired a cannon!
