Chapter 1230: Waiting for the Arrival of the Cannonball!

The ammunition depot of the little devil is a three-row bungalow, and the bungalows on both sides have only one floor, but the middle one is a two-story building. There is an underground arsenal underneath the two-story building. But I don't know exactly how big it is, what the facilities are inside, etc.

According to intelligence, before the war, the little devil stored a large amount of weapons and ammunition in this ammunition depot, but at the beginning of the war, the little devil took a large amount of weapons and ammunition from here. Besides, although the little devils are arrogant, their military literacy is still very good, and they will never put weapons that are easy to explode in these three rows of houses that basically have little defense, so in order not to give the sneak attackers a chance to take advantage of them, the little devils will definitely put all the heavy weapons in the basement.

In other words, it is likely that there are no weapons and ammunition in these three rows of bungalows, but there must be a lot of ammunition stored in the basement. In this way, the assault company had to rush into the middle house, rush into the basement, and completely destroy it in order to truly complete the mission.

And the shelling of the ammunition depot of the little devils can only be a preparatory plan: once the assault company cannot rush directly into it, then it can only rely on shelling. But the problem is that at the level of a little devil, he will never make ordinary mistakes. Even if there is no information to judge the situation of the little devil's basement, the top floor of the little devil's basement will definitely not be less than two and a half to three meters from the ground, and the further inside, the thicker this thickness becomes. In addition, under the shelling, the two-story building must be destroyed and collapsed first, which indirectly increases the thickness of the basement.

In this way, with the explosive power of a small steel cannon, if you want to penetrate such a thick ground, the chance of success can only be said to be a way to do it...... Of course, if it had been replaced by that heavy artillery, it would have been possible. But the problem is that the artillery company carried only one heavy gun this time, and there were not many shells, just twenty rounds. Whether it can succeed or not is really worrying.

Therefore, everyone put their hopes on the assault company, hoping that the assault company could rush in directly and blow it up.

These three rows of houses side by side did not become an obstacle to the advance of the assault company, the reason for stopping was to wait for the arrival of the second and third platoons, so that the hard fist of the assault company could be clenched and attacked in one go, and second, according to the pre-planned - shelling!

"Lao Liu, do you think we have to go back a little?" Looking at the three rows of bungalows more than 20 meters away, Zhao Shanhe was a little worried: although in the analysis, it is impossible for these three rows of houses to have things that can produce large explosions such as cannonballs, the distance of more than 20 meters, and the power of the small steel cannon is not great, plus everyone is hiding in the wall or house now, it should be safe. But the problem is that if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, in case the little devil gets nervous and really puts some shells or * in one of the houses, and when the time comes, just in case a shell falls in it, resulting in a big explosion...... Think about it, if a shell does not explode on the spot but is blown up and falls directly to the side of the row, then it will be really unjust.

But on the other hand, Zhao Shanhe knows that the closer to the three rows of houses, the better, because after the shelling, the little devil who has woken up will definitely rush madly, and when the time comes, the first thing to compete is time: not to mention how much time to hold, and not to say that the person who arrives at the entrance of the basement of the little devil first after the explosion can take advantage of the geographical advantage, just say that whoever arrives at the entrance of the basement first, who will have the initiative: if the little devil reaches the entrance of the basement first, the assault company wants to attack again, unless it is to achieve the effect of sealing the throat with a sword and can attack it in one breath, otherwise, it is likely to be eaten by the little devil who is crazy to counterattack, let alone attack the entrance...... Even if it can attack in one go, the assault company is bound to pay an extremely heavy price, which Zhao Shanhe, as the company commander, naturally does not want to see.

And if the assault company reaches the entrance of the basement first, then they can blow up the basement in a few minutes of resistance, complete the mission, and retreat calmly with the help of a huge explosion.

To put it bluntly, after the shelling, whoever reaches the entrance of the basement first will have the initiative and the right to win or lose.

That's why a platoon of assault companies rushed so close all at once.

But now, in the face of this problem, Zhao Shanhe was also a little confused, so he had to ask Liu Qinghe, the leader of the platoon next to him.

After expressing his worries at the moment, he asked, "Lao Liu, how far do you think it is appropriate for us to retreat?"

Liu Qinghe is really a brave general, for him, the task is the first, and everything else has to be sidelined, including his own life. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to instigate Zhao Shanhe before, and he was reprimanded by Zhao Shanhe.

Therefore, when he heard Zhao Shanhe's question, he said without thinking about it: "Company commander, there is no need to retreat, our current distance is just right, not only to avoid the necessary explosion, but also to charge at a relatively close distance......

After pondering for a while, he answered Zhao Shanhe's most worried 'what if!'

"Company commander, if there is a real explosion, I believe it will not be a particularly huge explosion, after all, the little devils are not stupid, they can't store all the shells in this defenseless ground house...... Besides, if people are unlucky, they will choke to death if they drink cold water, let alone cannonballs? If there are really shells flying in the explosion, then we can only blame our own lives. It's a gamble of luck left and right, in this case, no matter how far you hide, it won't help, it's better to bet with the little devil here. ”

Zhao Shanhe thought about it and felt that this made sense: if you really want luck, you can hide no matter how far away. It's better to fight here and take the initiative.

At this time, the second and third platoons arrived almost at the same time.

Zhao Shanhe immediately dispersed the two platoons to the left and right of a platoon, so that when the attack was over after the shelling, the two platoons could contain the little devils' struggle for the initiative, and at the same time act as a flank to cover the actions of a platoon.

After the two platoons carried out the order and left quickly, Zhao Shanhe took a deep breath and nodded to the platoon leader. Then he ordered everyone to take shelter quickly, lest they be affected by a possible explosion.

The platoon leader immediately turned his head and nodded solemnly to a soldier behind him.

The soldier pulled out his flare gun and fired three flares into the sky at a rate of one shot at a three-second interval.

The second stunned man was waiting with the artillery company, but it was very different from the previous restless mentality, and I don't know if it was because of the shelling of the 'construction site', so that the second stunned and other artillerymen vented their anger that had been held back for a long time.

Of course, there is also the 'tiredness' factor in this.

Because after the previous bombardment of the 'construction site', the speed of the little devil artillery counterattack was very fast, and it was a wild and indiscriminate bombardment directly on the hill where the previous artillery company was located.

Fortunately, the people of the artillery company had already judged such a situation, and therefore, after a series of shelling, they knew that their position had been exposed, so they hurriedly retreated. Fortunately, the small steel cannon was easy to carry, so the evacuation was quick and there was no loss.

After the little devil's shelling of this mountain was over, everyone hurriedly came back with the small steel cannon, in order to kill a horse gun and hit the little devil with a misunderstanding: the little devil must have thought that under their intensive shelling, the enemy's artillery did not see the slightest return fire, so there were only two meanings, either they had retreated or been killed.

However, because he didn't see the big explosion caused by the shell box being hit, it made the little devil understand that it was the former.

And at this time, the little devil must have thought that the artillery company would not and would not dare to come back, after all, it had already been discovered by the little devil, and few people had the courage and guts to return to the position that had been exposed and come back again.

And this mentality was taken advantage of by the two stunned: we just want to return to the original position and give you a hard time.

As for the mountain gun, which was regarded as the last killer weapon by the artillery company, and which was also transported with great difficulty, it was hidden in the highest forest just in case. This is also the indirect factor why the second stunned man wants to kill a horse gun in the choice of position, because he doesn't want the little devil to mistakenly think that they will retreat to the top of the mountain, so as to threaten the mountain cannon under the shelling, and destroy the last hope.

The artillery fighters were ready, but everyone's demeanor was relatively relaxed, although everyone did not leave their respective positions, they all sat on the ground, chatting quietly and waiting.

When they saw a light popping up in the county, like a star rising in the night, it was very dazzling, and they were all in good spirits.

There is no need for the second stunned to order, everyone has a tacit understanding to act immediately, each ready, waiting for the coordinate report and order of the second stunned.

The second stunned man first confirmed it with the naked eye, and when the second flare was lifted into the air, he quickly picked up the telescope to observe.

When the third flare was lifted into the air, the second stunned man immediately reported the coordinate data loudly, rushed to the nearest small steel cannon at a speed of 100 meters, and personally concocted it.

After everything was ready, the second stunned man took a cannonball, wiped it with the corner of his clothes, and was about to put it in the muzzle, but suddenly stopped, and then handed the cannonball to the artilleryman next to him, and said: "It's better for you to come, I'll continue to observe, otherwise, I won't worry." ”

Immediately, the second stunned man stood under the big tree in front of him, looked at the county seat, looked back at everyone, and shouted: "Ready...... Put!"

"Knock! knock......"

There are twelve small steel cannons lined up, not to mention the "bang" sound made by the cannon ejection, even the screeching sound produced by the cannonballs cutting through the air, which is enough to make people tremble.

However, for the people of the artillery company, they did not care about it at all, and not even one of them put their hands over their ears or turned around and bowed their heads as before, because everyone was very concerned about the results of this round of shelling, so everyone watched and waited for the final result.

Finally, twelve shells fell......
