Chapter 1064: Artillery Preparation!
"Whew~!Whew~!Whew......"
"Shelling~!"
The second company commander and Wang Dagui gathered and were about to retreat, when the sound of the little devil's small steel cannon shells cutting through the air sounded one after another, and the frightened Wang Dagui threw the second company commander down at the same time, he shouted loudly to remind everyone.
The second company commander was thinking about how to make the two small steel cannons exert their power later, and whether the little devil had already begun to transfer the pile of shells, but Wang Dagui suddenly fell down, making his chest hurt for a while.
But before the second company commander could scold, Wang Dagui's roar came from his ears.
Immediately, before the commander of the second company could react too much, the shells fell.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Looking down from the sky, most of the shells exploded in front of everyone, and the most recent ones also exploded five or six meters away, and a few even landed on the left and right. Basically, it doesn't have much real lethality to everyone. From this point of view, the accuracy of this shell is somewhat off.
Of course, in the eyes of ordinary people, this is mostly worth understanding, after all, the little devil artillerymen do not know the specific coordinates of the second company commander at this time, and can only cover the shelling in a large area...... Actually, the little devil artillery technology is really powerful.
Previously, because the second company and the little devils fired at each other across the road, the little devil artillerymen did not dare to open fire in order to prevent accidental damage under the shelling, and they had always had an absolute advantage in firepower, so there was no need to waste shells. However, now that the second company has retreated, the distance between it and the little devil's infantry has been widened, and in this case, the little devil's artillery has a place to play.
And this shelling seems to be a mistake, but if you look at it from the identity of the little devil artillery, it is definitely a precise strike: if it is calculated according to the speed of the retreat of the first squad just now, then the first squad should appear in the shell coverage at this time. It's just that the little devil didn't expect that the first shift of followers would be reconciled, paused for a few seconds, and greeted each other if they were injured or not, and then set off immediately. But it was such a few seconds of delay that made the little devil misjudge, so that most of the shells were blown up in front of the team. Otherwise, the shells will definitely fall in the ranks.
However, the commander of the second company didn't care about this, because he had a fellow who was a platoon commander of the artillery, and after a long period of contact, he had naturally heard of a special term for artillery - test artillery!
So, the commander of the second company immediately jumped up and roared: "Don't rush forward, retreat to the left, hurry!"
Naturally, the crowd obeyed orders.
And the next shelling of the little devil artillery is enough to prove that their first shot is really not a test shell, but a precise shelling.
Because the interval between the second and first shells is only about five seconds, from the perspective of time, we can know that these five seconds are definitely not enough to debug the coordinates. Moreover, the area covered by the explosion of the shells of the small steel cannon after falling was only five to ten meters further than the explosion point where the first shells fell.
It can be seen that the little devil judged that the target was rushing forward, so he continued to shell forward.
It's just that the little devils didn't expect that the second company commander wanted to be crooked, but he hit it crookedly and successfully dodged the next shelling. It can only be said that on the battlefield, luck is really one of the most important factors that determine success or failure.
While listening to the explosion farther and farther away, while talking with a smile, everyone admired the experience of the second company commander, and the second company commander finally showed a smiling face, although he didn't know, it was just his luck, but he thought that experience was also very important.
A few minutes later, I finally came to the top of the hill about 20 meters high where I had set out earlier, that is, where the mountains were full of sand trees, where the two small steel cannons and a dozen artillery pieces were hiding.
Before going up the hill from the left side of the mountain, the commander of the second company ordered Wang Dagui: "You send people to count the casualties of each platoon, and at the same time, you are personally responsible for transferring the wounded." ”
Speaking of this, the second company commander stopped, looked at Wang Dagui, and said solemnly: "Remember, if a wounded person falls, I want your skull." ”
"Yes! ”
Watching Wang Dagui run towards the back mountain with a row of soldiers in the second row, the second company commander frowned slightly, and finally, with a long sigh, he said to the two squad leaders behind him (to be precise, the second squad leader and the deputy squad leader of the first squad, the original first squad leader died in the battle just now. He said, "The second class stayed, and the first class also went to the back mountain to help." ”
When I came to the top of the mountain, I saw that the artillerymen were sitting on the ground, talking in a whisper, and the second company commander was naturally in a bad mood: Lao Tzu was fighting desperately in front, but you artillerymen were chatting here, do you still have a little comradeship, comradeship?
However, the second company commander is not an impulsive person, and he understands that he can't be angry regardless of the overall situation at this time, let alone ask for help...... In fact, in terms of rank, the commander of the second company is angry enough for such an attitude, but he is the company commander of the second company of the fourth battalion, not the direct commander of the artillery.
The commander of the second company suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, strode over, and asked the platoon commander of the artillery team, "How are you preparing?"
"It's been ready for a long time, just waiting for your order. ”
Having said that, the other party's brows were still wrinkled, which made the second company commander feel better: Well, you, the platoon commander, are still a little conscious, and you know that your comrades have suffered heavy casualties, not like a nobody.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, it's just ......" Speaking of this, the artillery platoon commander looked at the second company commander with a little hesitation, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, which naturally caused the second company commander to be unhappy, and said in a deep voice: "Just say what you have to say." ”
"Company commander, it's not that we don't want to open fire, but just now we passed through the telescope and found that the little devil on the opposite side seemed to be transferring ammunition. ”
The commander of the second company was shocked, and quickly picked up the telescope hanging on his chest and looked at the opposite side.
Without the prompting of the artillery platoon commander, the commander of the second company saw through the telescope at a glance that under the light of some fires on the opposite side, although he could not see all the little devils, he could clearly see some little devils carrying ammunition boxes and quickly carrying shells to the mountain...... All the big cars were blown up, along with the supplies on them, and now the shells on the shoulders of the little devils could only be the same pile of ammunition as before.
"Why don't you open fire?"
In the face of the angry tone of the second company commander, the artillery platoon commander lowered his head, quickly raised his head and glanced at the second company commander, and then lowered his head again, looking very aggrieved.
The second company commander immediately came back to his senses.
This time, the main task of the artillery follow-up was to assist the second company and destroy all the cars of the little devils, rather than specifically specifying that all the shells of the little devils should be blown up. Although from a personal point of view, this fully reflects the vision, courage and wit of a commander. But the problem is that a soldier is a soldier, an order is an order, and it is a soldier's duty to obey orders...... A bold person like Zhang Qingshan, unless he is forced to do so, will definitely not make his own decisions on the battlefield.
From this point of view, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the artillery platoon commander obeying orders. You must know that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and if one is not good, it is likely to be a disservice. For example, if the second company did not destroy all the cars, but the artillerymen privately shelled the pile of ammunition on the opposite side, even if they blew up the pile of ammunition, but they also frightened themselves and exposed themselves, then, under the return fire of the little devil artillery, what should be done with those cars that were not destroyed?
Therefore, the commander of the second company must not blame the artillerymen for watching the little devils urgently carry the shells and being indifferent.
Helpless, the second company commander had to take the last bit of hope and asked, "How long have they been carrying?"
The artillery platoon commander looked at his watch and said, "A little more than thirty-seven minutes." ”
"So long?"
It's no wonder that the commander of the second company was so surprised, but he had to be shocked: at first, he thought that even if the little devil transferred half of the ammunition from the car to the ground, it would definitely not be too much. However, the telescope clearly showed that the little devils were basically carrying ammunition one after another, and looking at the place where the ammunition disappeared from the pile to the side of Qinglong Mountain, it was estimated that there was a brigade or a squadron of little devils carrying shells. And these hundreds of people kept carrying for more than half an hour, how much ammunition did they have to carry?
This makes the second company commander have to doubt, I'm afraid that the ammunition that the little devils have stored here is definitely not the two places that everyone sees on the surface, because the pile of ammunition on the ground definitely doesn't need so many little devils to carry half of it. That is, it is quite possible that there is no more ammunition parked in the car, I'm afraid, not as much as was expected in advance, or even less than a third. Moreover, this also includes other materials such as food and medicine.
Then, everyone's previous attack on the little devil convoy must be discounted to a certain extent. Therefore, it is necessary to re-judge the next actions of the main force of the little devil, which is the most important thing.
However, fortunately, the task of the second company was completed: even if the little devils had more ammunition, they would not have the transportation volume of large cars, and it would be a big burden to rely on their two legs alone to walk dozens of kilometers to the county seat of Sanqiao County, and besides, the speed would definitely not be fast, which would be conducive to the next attack along the way. Of course, it would be better if you angered the main force of the little devil and let him fight with everyone here...... This can be regarded as a kind of self-consolation after the second company commander analyzed the results.
"Yes! Basically, as soon as the car was attacked, the imps began to urgently divert the shells. ”
This sentence made the second company commander's brows wrinkle in an instant, because his analysis was likely to be correct.
"Now, no matter how much ammunition they have left there, you have to give me exactly how much ammunition they have left. ”
"Yes!" After the artillery platoon commander answered, he did not turn around to carry out the order, but glanced left and right a little weakly, leaned closer, and proposed to the second company commander: "Company commander, I think, after we finish the shelling there, will we also have a few artillery shots on the machine gun position of the little devil on the opposite side of the mountainside?"
As he spoke, seeing that the second company commander's eyes were a little complicated, he hurriedly added: "This can be regarded as revenge for the comrades who died under those machine guns, isn't it?"
The commander of the second company nodded immediately without hesitation, but he still said: "Yes, you can, but you must ensure that when you open fire and the little devil's artillery shoots back, you can't have losses." ”
"Don't worry, we have been discussing it for a long time just now, and we have long been ready to deal with it. ”
These words made the second company commander feel much more comfortable: It turns out that your previous whispered discussion was to discuss this, well! Forgive me, I won't look for the second stunned stubble......
