Chapter 1066: Run!
"Knock! knock!"
The two small steel cannon shells were fired almost at the same time, and then, everyone had to wait for the results, and the platoon commander even looked at them with a telescope.
"Boom! boom!"
Two hundred meters away, two fires flashed at the same time, and two explosions were heard.
However, everyone's brows were furrowed, because the shell did not hit the target, and it did not even hit the little devil artillery position at all, and the most recent one only exploded on the left periphery of the little devil artillery position, almost no damage to the little devil artillery position.
Although the moonlight is bright, the distance is far away, and the opposite side is also in the dark, and it is difficult to see the artillery position of the little devil clearly with the naked eye. However, fortunately, the little devils kept shelling this side of the mountain before, so that everyone remembered the specific location of the little devil's artillery position early with the help of the terrain of the surrounding mountains.
"These dogs are so lucky!" Although the first shot is called a test shot, and failure is allowed, but the real first shot hits the target, which is called good luck. However, because he was fighting with the little devil with the heart of death, he was inevitably a little nervous, and seeing that the first shot did not hit the target, the platoon commander was a little anxious and understandable. Anyway, with him, there are a total of four people around, so they don't pay attention to face and morale, they can scold whatever they want, just to vent their inner anger.
After scolding, the platoon commander simply put down the binoculars, carefully looked at the opposite side with the naked eye, and then stretched out his right thumb to compare the target to determine the coordinates.
In the end, he not only reported the coordinates, but even personally concocted a small steel cannon.
Immediately, he took a small steel cannon shell, glanced at the gunner who was operating another small steel cannon, and saw that the other party happened to take a small steel cannon shell, and looked at it as well.
The two of them nodded slightly to each other almost at the same time, and at the same time put the cannonball into the muzzle of the small steel cannon, while covering their ears and turning to the side.
Then, the other three watched with wide eyes and waited for the results. The platoon commander quickly picked up the binoculars and looked carefully at the opposite hillside...... No matter how dark it is on the other side, the moment the cannonball explodes, you can still see a little result through the fleeting light of the fire in its explosion. And this is not visible to the naked eye.
"Boom! boom!"
Two pieces of fire flashed, two explosions came, and the platoon commander clearly saw that although the shell on the left still missed a little, the shell on the right hit the artillery position of the little devil. Because, through the telescope, he clearly saw that in the fleeting firelight, there were two little devils, one of them squatting, and the other just pounced on the squatting little devil, probably trying to use his body to protect him...... It's a pity that the fire flashed and didn't see the final ending. But it is certain that the artillery positions of the little devils were indeed hit.
At this point, even if the other three observed it with the naked eye, they could basically determine that they had hit the artillery position of the little devil.
Then, almost at the same time, the three looked at the platoon commander, hoping to get confirmation from him.
But at this moment!
"Whew~!Whew~!Whew......"
"Shelling~!"
One of the artillerymen screamed wildly and pounced on the two boxes of shells next to him with his body, while the other two also covered the small steel cannon with their bodies...... In the mind of an artilleryman, his own life is not as important as a cannon and a shell. The reason for this is that the Eighth Route Army is too poor and weapons and ammunition are not easy to come by, so everyone subconsciously thinks that heavy weapons such as cannons and shells are more precious than their own lives. On the battlefield, if you sacrifice yourself, the weapons and ammunition can be left for other comrades to use, but if the weapons and ammunition are gone, can you take the burning stick to beat the little devils...... These words may sound a little unsatisfactory, which makes people feel surprised and a little sad at the same time, but this is indeed the situation at that time: many artillerymen can not even want their own lives for the sake of guns and shells. For example, in the morale of the Long March, Zhang Qingshan personally saw the tragic scene of sacrificing so many comrades on the spot in order to rescue the captured artillery shells, which is the best proof of this.
In a way, this is also caused by the barrenness of the country, if the country is rich and strong, and the soldiers have countless weapons and ammunition to use, then it is certain that the importance of weapons and ammunition and life is self-evident, at least, the thoughts and actions of such weapons and ammunition greater than their own lives will become a very small minority.
And the platoon commander also pounced on the shell box, but before he could carry out his actions, he was forcibly restrained by himself, but only paused, and then he still pounced on the comrade who fell on the shell box first.
Because as a veteran gunner with a lot of experience, his previous movements were only instinctive first reactions, but his ears and eyes were always looking at the sky, listening, watching, discerning. And based on his own experience, he immediately judged that he didn't look at the little devil's rush of this cannonball, but from the sound of the cannonball cutting through the air, he immediately judged that there would never be a small steel cannon shell that could explode within twelve meters around him. In other words, as long as you don't expose too much of your body, then the safety will be greatly improved.
And the reason why he still pounced was because he didn't want to be counted by this few percent chance...... It's one thing to sacrifice, but it's another thing to die because of your own carelessness or complacency, and it's a very stupid act.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
In a close explosion, as judged by the platoon commander, not a single shell fell within fifteen meters of them, no, to be precise, the one closest to them exploded twenty meters away. Moreover, the collective sex is all exploding on their left. It can be seen that the first shot of the little devil is not very good.
"Hey, hey, the little devil's gunnering skills are not good, they are even more outrageous than ours, they must have been taught by the teacher. ”
"Laugh at the fart!" the platoon commander jumped up, laughed and cursed, and then urged: "Quick! Stand up the little steel cannon, and hurry up and give them a few cannons while the little devils are preparing here." ”
Several people acted immediately.
The platoon commander stretched out his right thumb and compared it, then looked at the ruler on the small steel cannon, and then without making any modulation, he directly took a shell and put it on the muzzle of the small steel cannon.
As soon as the hand was released, the cannonball shot out like lightning with a muffled sound of "Boom!".
At this time, the other gunner was also doing the same action as the platoon commander, the only difference was that he slightly modulated the small steel cannon ruler next to him.
Two small steel cannon shells fell one after another, successfully hitting the artillery position of the little devils.
With this example, the platoon commander and the other gunner, who were not polite to the little devil at all, each fired two more shells in one breath, and the platoon commander did not look at the result, but shouted: "Hurry up and transfer!", and then picked up the shell box containing ten small steel cannon shells and ran into the distance...... In fact, there is no need to look at it, because, if it is to blow up the ammunition storage place of the little devils, then naturally there will be bigger, more and denser shell explosions. And if it is not hit, or it just hits the little devil, or it just blows up the small steel cannon, for the little devil, the loss is absolutely bearable, after all, the little devil is far more than the artillery platoon commander in terms of the number of artillery and the number of small steel cannons. The number of small steel cannons alone is at least six to one, not to mention the others.
And the other three are also veterans, and they know that no matter what, as long as the storage place on the little devil artillery position is not hit, then it is absolutely impossible to blow up all the small steel cannons on the little devil artillery position, and there will be a few small steel cannons in rapid modulation and counterattack...... In artillery battles, once both sides expose their coordinates to each other, then the two sides will basically not transfer, and the competition is the rate of fire, accuracy, and so on. Of course, if the artillery platoon commander is doing now, it can only be regarded as a special case, after all, they only have two small steel cannons, which can be carried up and left, and the little devils have at least twelve small steel cannons, and when they are shelled, it is absolutely impossible to carry them and run, so that in addition to greatly increasing their own casualty rate, it will also cause huge chaos, not to mention losing the first opportunity, and will temporarily lose the ability to fight back, so as to be suppressed by the opponent's firepower.
Therefore, as soon as the three of them heard the roar of the platoon commander, they didn't want to think about it, and immediately took action: the two artillerymen carried the small steel cannon one after the other and ran, and the tallest one directly carried the small steel cannon to catch up, and the speed was slightly faster than the two, so that the two of them saw the itchy root of the teeth, but they were helpless, who let themselves not have the strength of the other party, the two of them resisted a small steel cannon, and the degree of cooperation in the run was naturally faster than that of a strong guy carrying it. Of course, this is only a temporary advantage over short distances. But the problem is that now, everyone only needs to transfer short distances.
The rich experience played a decisive role here, not only to judge the first shelling of the little devil here, but also to the shells that would definitely not hurt everyone. Now, the experienced platoon commander restrained the urge to shoot all the shells in one breath for the first time, but judged the time of the little devil's counterattack based on experience, and immediately made a decision, and did not hesitate to implement it immediately.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
At least six shells fell around the place where they had been before, but because the shells fell a little unevenly, it can be inferred that the previous three successive shelling caused a great deal of panic to the little devil, otherwise, with the little devil's technology, the calculation was missed, and it would not have been possible to let the shelling cover be so far behind.
And when the explosion appeared, the three artillerymen carrying small steel cannons did not run far, and the explosion point of the nearest shell to them was about fifteen meters away, that is, even if it was at the edge of the direct kill range, but for the three of them, who dared to guarantee that they would not be killed by shrapnel in the fatal part of their bodies......
