Chapter 243: Siege of Lushun
With a loud "boom", Dashan Yan knew that it was a loud sound of ammunition exploding, and from the telescope he saw that a battery in the distance had been pulled out by the 1st Volunteer Brigade again. www.biquge.info This is the fourth artillery battery knocked out by the First Volunteer Brigade in less than an hour after the exchange of fire between the Japanese army and the First Volunteer Brigade. As a result, all the defensive positions built by the Japanese army on the periphery of Arthur were knocked out by the First Volunteer Brigade, and they had to retreat to the Arthur fortress.
It was the kind of improved "naval mortar" again, those fortifications with semi-open fortifications were completely defenseless in the face of this kind of artillery with strange ballistic curves, and the outer defensive fulcrum of the original Qing army garrison battery selected by the four big mountains and rocks was cleaned up in this way, and the First Volunteer Brigade had not even used local soldiers. The apparently braid and freshly cut servant corps had learned to work together with the infantry artillery, and under the cover of this strange artillery, they were able to take down the positions that the Japanese had hastily constructed at a very low cost of casualties. Oyama felt that if the Japanese navy did not arrive at Port Arthur before dark to support them, then the nearly 10,000 Japanese soldiers would have to be all confessed here.
This time, Zhou Dingchen brought 800 soldiers of the garrison regiment who had "excellent" results in training to participate in the operation to exterminate the Japanese army. This so-called "excellent" performance is of course evaluated according to Yuan Jie's lowered standards, and it is unrealistic to completely use the PLA to train recruits to require these former Qing soldiers who were mainly Chinese farmers in the 19th century.
Although in the eyes of the traversing people, these garrison soldiers still need to be strengthened, but in Zhou Dingchen's eyes, compared with those soldiers in Beiyang, his subordinates are already a first-class strong army, well, even compared to the Japanese soldiers opposite, he also feels that his subordinates are a first-class strong army. In the past month, without the assistance of soldiers from the Great Song Dynasty, they have not suffered much in the battle against the Japanese when they are equal in number or inferior in numbers.
Today, with the assistance of the miraculous artillery bombardment of the artillery, Zhou Dingchen's garrison suffered very small losses in the battle to capture the forts around the Lushun fortress one by one. Only then did Zhou Dingchen know that the battle could be fought like this, what is the difference between this special and walking? Artillery bombardment, superior fire cover, blocked, call for artillery bombardment, and then superior fire cover, and then jump directly to clear the remnants of the enemy, this is no different from training at all, the Japanese army on the opposite side is a little better than the target man in the exercise, they will shoot back, the target man will not.
"Regiment Commander, this Great Song Chief's mortar is too accurate, tsk, tsk, tsk. There are a few misses here, and the school projectiles can catch dead fish. A soldier of a garrison regiment said to Zhou Dingchen.
"Hurry up and clean up the battlefield, the Japanese have all returned to Lushun, and there will be a tough battle soon, whether we can cut off this braid or not depends on this battle." Zhou Dingchen said after seeing that the security army that had cleared the remnants of the enemy in front had entered the preset position.
Although the crossing crowd repeatedly explained that due to the special situation in Dalian Bay, it was necessary for the officers and men of the "Liaodong Garrison Regiment" to temporarily keep the braids behind their heads. However, Zhou Dingchen, who admitted to death, insisted that this was the former Qing army soldiers who had surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, and that unqualified troops could not have the same hairstyle as the Great Song people. His idea is still quite marketable in the garrison regiment, no matter how Yuan Jie explains, there are always officers and soldiers who come to petition to cut off their braids and keep the same hairstyle as the chief of the Great Song Dynasty.
As with the inaccuracy of the guess hairstyle problem, Zhou Dingchen guessed that the upcoming "hard battle" did not appear. There was no hard battle, and the commanders of the Great Song Dynasty had no intention of letting them intervene in the battle to attack the fortified fortress of Arthur. In the words of the Great Song Commander, you are still at the level of a new soldier, and you don't have the ability to fight together, just bring your eyes to observe, you are all soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, don't make senseless sacrifices.
Sure enough, I still think we are unqualified, but I understand the infantry and artillery coordination, but what the hell is the infantry and tan coordination? Zhou Dingchen wondered.
It turned out that the only 120-mm mortar in the green paint area was deployed at the Dashiqiao stronghold, and this time it was the 120-mm mortar on the "Weasel 2" self-propelled mortar truck that had just been transmitted to the Japanese army on the outlying battery position of Lushunkou. Despite the absence of GPS, the vehicle's observation and fire control system allowed the gun to hit an astonishingly high rate.
The native soldiers didn't understand what the words "good Q" and "good cute" meant, but they felt that this gun carriage, which was a little petite among the many vehicles, was so ferocious that it could even catch a human head with a special school projectile.
Soon Zhou Dingchen saw how the commanders of the Great Song Dynasty attacked, and he only then understood what Butan coordination was. The "Abrams" main battle tank commanded by Zhao Yi took the lead, and the rest of the infantry tanks followed, crossing the crowd and began to attack the Japanese army hiding behind the cement fortifications.
"At 10 o'clock, at a distance of one kilometer, the enemy cement fortifications, lock on to the target, and load the obstacle breaking bombs." Zhao Yi used the commander's thermal imager to lock onto the target.
"Reloaded." Hu Dazhuang loaded an American-made M908 barrier-breaking bomb into the breech.
"Fire!"
Rumble! The cement fortifications of the Qing army were blasted out of a large hole with a diameter of two meters. After the M1A2 exclusive demolition shell is fired, the bottom fuse of the shell will calculate the condition of the shell trapped in the wall according to the change of acceleration detected by itself, and detonate the explosive in the main body of the shell at the right time. Because the explosives of M908 are detonated inside the wall, the blasting effect on the wall is much higher than that on the surface of the wall.
This kind of cement pier without reinforcement may be able to cope with the bombardment of mountain artillery and field artillery in this era, but when it encounters the exclusive obstacle breaking shell of a 120-mm smoothbore gun, it is no different from tofu slag.
After the "Little Prince No. 1" entered the range of the Japanese field guns hiding in the fortifications, the Footbasin Chicken fired several shells with solid conical warheads at the front of the M1A2, and the lucky Footbasin Chicken artillery actually scored two hits at a distance of 1,000 meters. However, the warhead, which is said to be inspired by the armor-piercing shells of naval naval guns, only scratches a little paint from the "Abrams" main battle tank, and the 120mm smoothbore gun of the M1A2 followed up with a counterattack that accurately destroyed the Japanese field artillery that dared to provoke.
Seeing the effect of the armor-piercing bullet that had been pinned on him only after hearing a sound, Dashan Yan despaired. The brain-dead in this base camp actually counted on us to hold on to Arthur, and judging from the current situation, the First Volunteer Brigade would not have to wait until dark to completely compress us into the port. Thinking about the scene of nearly 10,000 people huddled together, and the cannonballs with strange whistling sounds kept falling from the sky, Dashan Yan felt a chill coming from his balls.
Where is our Navy? If the Navy doesn't come again, we're really going to be all finished! Dashan Yan felt desperate for this passive situation where he couldn't knock the opponent's turtle shell while the other party was chopping melons and vegetables. Perhaps the larger caliber and more charged armor-piercing shells of the naval guns could penetrate the armor of the steel behemoth on the other side, and at this time, Dashan Iwa was looking forward to the arrival of the navy with a hint of luck.
At this time, on a small hill near the Port of Arthur, a force that crossed through the crowd was also waiting for the arrival of the Japanese navy. Naval support? You're thinking too much, a wicked smile tugged at the corner of Chopper's mouth.
