After sending the scouts away, Gao Yuanzhi, commander of the artillery battalion of the special service regiment, immediately ordered the whole battalion:

"There is a situation ahead, and everyone accelerates!"

"Yes!"

……

About twenty minutes later, the scout returned.

"Battalion commander, it's clear that it's the little devil who is rebuilding the railway station in Heyuan County, and he's busy with it.

There was a guerrilla force of twenty or thirty men harassing them, as if they did not want the little devils to rebuild the railway station smoothly.

However, their marksmanship was not very good, and they did not cause any casualties to the little devils. ”

"Good!

How many little devils are there?

How far is it from us? ”

"There are dozens of people on guard on the perimeter, and there should be about 200 people who escort the people to work.

It's less than 10 kilometers away. ”

"Nearly three hundred little devils?

It's not a decimal! ”

Gao Yuanzhi hesitated a little, but then he noticed the box cannon on the waists of the soldiers under his command, and strengthened his confidence.

After looking around, I saw that three or four kilometers ahead, there was a hillside with good terrain, and immediately said to Wang Gensheng, deputy commander of the artillery battalion:

"Lao Wang, I want to do a vote, what do you think?"

Wang Gensheng nodded:

"We're here to fight little devils, you say it, let's do it!"

He knows very well that Gao Yuanzhi's ability is stronger than his own, as long as he doesn't want to pull the team away, then listen to him.

Seeing Wang Gensheng trusting himself unconditionally, Gao Yuanzhi couldn't help but be very moved.

The difference between being a soldier in the secret service group and eating in the Locust Association Army before is too big!

But this was not the time to be sad, and he restrained the agitation in his heart and gave the order to the scout:

"Go and contact that guerrilla detachment, ask them to stop harassing the little devils, come and join us, and be our reserves!"

Artillery hastily exposed itself without infantry protection, which was extremely risky.

Even if the soldiers of the artillery battalion brought box guns, even if they were close to the little devils, they still had the strength to fight, but Gao Yuanzhi still held his hand and was ready to call the guerrillas who dared to fight the little devils.

In case of a real crisis, they should be able to provide some cover for themselves.

Listening to his order, the scout immediately agreed loudly:

"Yes!"

Seeing that the scouts had gone, Gao Yuanzhi ordered the telegraph operator to send a telegram to Yang Yuanshan to ask where they were.

Knowing that Yang Yuanshan led the large army of the three battalions and had reached dozens of miles behind him, he suddenly felt certain.

Pointing to the hillside in front of him, he gave the order to the whole battalion:

"Quick, forward, to that hill cannon!

Let the little devils see how powerful we are! ”

"Yes!"

……

At the sound of the order, the large troops of the artillery battalion immediately rushed to the destination, and then quickly dragged the artillery up the mountain road, so tired that the horses were out of breath and eager to do nothing.

- It's a pity that they are still afraid of the whips in the hands of the warriors.

Gao Yuanzhi and Wang Gensheng climbed to the top of the mountain and observed the terrain with a telescope.

The two observed carefully, and Wang Gensheng also used the thumb ranging method taught by Wang Chengzhu to carefully compare, and then shouted excitedly:

"Lao Gao, this is really a good location, it should be less than 5 kilometers away from the little devil's Heyuan Railway Station, our artillery can easily bully them."

After Gao Yuanzhi became the commander of the artillery battalion, he fought independently for the first time, and naturally had a lot of apprehension in his heart.

Hearing Wang Gensheng's approval, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After a careful observation, and a silent calculation in his heart, he frowned and replied:

"The range is enough, but the little devil is working with the people, if we shell directly, I'm afraid it will cause accidental injury."

Of course, Wang Gensheng has no solution to this problem.

Gao Yuanzhi could only call a few company commanders in his battalion to discuss.

Finally, Ding Yongkuan, the commander of the third company, suggested:

"Battalion commander, I see that it is not early now, and we will be ready to eat soon.

The little devil himself will definitely eat well, and the people will definitely eat poorly, and they will naturally be separated when the time comes.

Let's wait for that time and carry out artillery bombardment, and we will definitely make the little devil drink a pot. ”

As soon as he heard this suggestion, Gao Yuanzhi's eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded excitedly and clapped.

"Good!

That's it! ”

……

The decision was made, Gao Yuanzhi commanded the soldiers to deploy the position of the artillery, and then shallowly dug a trench and arranged hundreds of ammunition men to deploy here to prevent the little devil infantry from rushing over and destroying the artillery.

When everything was ready, the scouts sent out earlier came with more than twenty guerrilla fighters.

They carried a motley of rifles, a few wearing patched gray uniforms, and many more dressed in civilian clothing.

"Battalion commander, this is a comrade of the Beizhuang guerrillas, and this is their captain You Erhu."

Gao Yuanzhi nodded, and hurriedly greeted You Erhu and said:

"Hello Comrade You, I am Gao Yuanzhi, commander of the artillery battalion of the Special Service Regiment."

You Erhu is a gray military uniform man in his thirties, and it is the first time he has seen such a high-level cadre as Gao Yuanzhi, so he is very excited, and hurriedly stands up and salutes.

"I'm the second tiger of the Beizhuang guerrillas, and I've seen Battalion Commander Gao!"

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Gao Yuanzhi asked curiously:

"Captain Ranger, why are you here?

Is there an order from above? ”

"Haha, no.

Our guerrillas got a batch of bullets a few days ago, so let's find a little devil to practice marksmanship! ”

You Erhu explained.

Hearing this, Gao Yuanzhi was a little speechless.

Xindao: Good guy, the guerrillas in the northwest of Jin are too crazy, right?

Did you learn it all from commanders and regimental commanders?

I want to practice marksmanship, and I actually came to trouble the little devils.

Are the little devils too vegetable, or are they too floating?

Seeing that he was a little stunned, You Erhu asked curiously:

"Battalion Commander Gao, are you going to attack Heyuan County?

Can you give us a long experience?

We haven't seen the main army fight yet! ”

Before he could speak, the other party took the initiative to come up, Gao Yuanzhi was naturally very happy, and grinned:

"Good! Welcome Comrade You!

So, I'll give you some guns and ammunition, and you'll join us and fight together!" ”

"What?

And guns and ammunition?

That's great! ”

You Erhu jumped three feet high, originally he just wanted to work voluntarily!

Go both ways, hit it off!

Gao Yuanzhi immediately asked the soldiers in the battalion to take out ten three-eight big covers and three hundred rounds of ammunition and give them to You Erhu.

When You Erhu saw the brand-new 38 big cover and so many bullets, he was so shocked that his eyes were about to fall out, and he said in his heart: Sure enough, the main force is magnanimous, and such a good 38 big cover will be given to us casually!

We're here today!

He hurriedly patted his chest and said to Gao Yuanzhi:

"Battalion Commander Gao, you arrange the task, our guerrillas will definitely not pull the band, even if they die, they will also guarantee to complete the task!"

"Good!

Our artillery battalion, now we are going to shell the little devils.

But our infantry was still dozens of miles away, and it was impossible to reach it in a hurry.

So I need them to cover us in the trenches over there, and if the little devils are going to rush over and destroy our artillery, you must resolutely block it, can you do it? ”

"What? Shelling?

It's so far away from the little devils! ”

You Erhu was extremely surprised, and he wanted to ask Gao Yuanzhi if he was dizzy.

The equipment of our army, is he not clear?

Even if it is the main force, a few mortars at most will be counted.

But how far is the range of the mortar?

But then he saw a large-caliber heavy cannon not far away, and his mouth suddenly opened wide.

Trembling asked:

"That'...... That's your cannon?

So big?

So much? ”

"Not bad."

"Of course – no problem!

Battalion Commander Gao, don't worry, isn't it just fighting with little devils?

We've beaten the little devil convoy before, so we're not afraid!

Even if we all die, we will never let a little devil pass us! ”

You Erhu was instantly excited.

As soon as he thought that the main force had such a big cannon, he felt that the little devils who were arresting people and repairing the railway station were all scum, and they would be wiped out in the blink of an eye.

However, as soon as he said this, Gao Yuanzhi suddenly felt a little twitch in his face.

I vaguely felt that I was working in vain, the more than 20 of them wouldn't be all rookies among rookies, and they wouldn't play any role at all, right?

But at this point, he couldn't say anything, so he immediately had them taken to the trenches, and he returned to the top of the hill himself, and continued to observe the enemy with a telescope.

……

You Erhu took his own people, nested in the shallow trench, and touched the 38 big cover in his hand.

A guerrilla fighter next to him also grinned and asked:

"Captain, the people of this spy group are really arrogant, and they will give us ten three-eight big covers!

And so many bullets. ”

"That's it!

They are the main force of our military division!

Look at the cannon, such an old and thick cannon tube, if you go down, I can see that the city wall can be blown up. ”

You Erhu has a proud face.

"yes, I've never seen such a big cannon before, I don't know if I'll deaf my ears later.

When I heard that the cannon was fired, it was louder than thunder. ”

"Hey, that's not even!

Cover your ears later, or you will be deaf, and be careful that your mother-in-law will not follow you when you go home! ”

"Hey, hey, she dares! I'll her to death! ”

"That's it! It is! ”

……

While they were laughing, time had passed quietly.

In Gao Yuanzhi's telescope, a team of little devils wearing yellow military uniforms came out of Heyuan County, carrying food in a cart, and headed for the train station.

Seeing this, Gao Yuanzhi immediately shouted excitedly:

"The little devil is ready to eat, all ready!"

The gunners obeyed the order and immediately took their positions, while the ammunition men carried the shells from the back to the vicinity of the gun emplacement.

Soon, Gao Yuanzhi saw that the little devil really began to eat separately from the people as Ding Yongkuan expected.

For safety, they are at least a hundred meters apart from each other.

He was ecstatic in his heart, and after calculating the shelling of Zhu Yuan in his heart, he resolutely ordered:

"Prepare to adjust the shelling of Zhuyuan, the direction is southeast, the angle is 37 degrees!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the gunners adjusted the shelling Zhuyuan and reported one after another:

"Howitzer over!"

"Field artillery is over!"

"Cannon over!"

"Mountain cannon over!"

……

Hearing that his subordinates were ready, Gao Yuanzhi saw that the little devil was eating very happily, and when he saw that the food was good, he suddenly felt a little angry in his heart, and said in his heart: Let you son of bitches go to the eighteenth floor of hell to eat!

Then categorically ordered:

"All kinds of artillery, one shot of school fire, fire!"
