Chapter 623 Artillery
The devil's cannon fire finally started.

This has something to do with the training level of the Devil Artillery. The Artillery Wing that Anda 23 belongs to has fought against the Recalcitrant Army and the Eighth Route Army for many years, and has rich combat experience and high quality.

On the other hand, Anda 23 has always maintained the necessary caution against the Eighth Route Army's attack on Yuncheng, so he ordered the artillery to be ready as soon as the battle started.

The Artillery Wing belonging to the 23th Division of Anda 37 has three full artillery brigades.

This is not common in the devil's second-tier divisions (usually only the first-tier divisions are full of artillery, and other divisions only have two or even only one artillery brigade due to lack of equipment).

It's just that Anda 23 made a mistake. He assigned the artillery brigade to the west, north, and east directions.

This kind of allocation should not be regarded as a "mistake". This can even be said to be a kind of common sense, because the west, north, and east may be the enemy's main attack direction, while the south is the salt lake. There is no need for many artillery here, or Saying mortars would do the trick.

When the battle started, the artillery brigades of the Devils aimed their artillery at the city gate they were in charge of and prepared, and only waited for the front line to provide reinforcements when the enemy's situation was discovered.

Lieutenant Masayoshi Hironaka, the captain of the Artillery Regiment, is a calm and thoughtful guy, and he is very good at estimating the position of the enemy's artillery.

When the battle started, Guangzhong Zhengzheng was at the headquarters and his adjutant deduced tactics against the Eighth Route Army's "spray bombs".

However, after deduction and deduction, Masayoshi Hironaka found that it is always difficult for conventional artillery to deal with this kind of "jet bomb" that hits and runs.

"They move much faster than us!" Masayoshi Hironaka said to the adjutant: "This means that we are always in a passive state of being beaten when we fight against them."

"But their accuracy is not as good as our artillery!" The adjutant was a little reconciled.

"What is accuracy?" Masayoshi Hironaka said helplessly: "We do have accuracy, but we are not sure of the enemy's position, or know the enemy's position, but when we fired the shells, they had already moved. Do you know what this means? Our accuracy is almost zero, Matsumoto-kun, and the enemy at least has accuracy! This is the main reason why our artillery units will be at a disadvantage against them!"

Then, Masayoshi Hironaka added: "And there is almost no solution to this advantage!"

The adjutant soon realized that the lieutenant was right, that artillery was of little use if it could not determine the enemy's position, or if it was changing at any moment, it would be useless to know it.

After being silent for a while, Masayoshi Hironaka said: "If the artillerymen of our army want to survive the enemy's tactics, there is only one way, and that is to move the artillery shells in the shortest possible time, otherwise they will be attacked. Enemy 'spray' coverage."

Just as he was talking, the phone rang, and then a staff officer yelled at Masayoshi Hironaka: "Battle order, target Salt Lake!"

"Salt Lake?" Hironaka Masayoshi was taken aback, this was a direction beyond their preparation.

But the artillery focuses on speed. He immediately took the map and measured it with a ruler. Then he estimated the distance between the two artillery positions and the salt lake according to the ratio, and then issued the orders together.

In less than 3 minutes, the shells poured towards the salt lake with a whistling sound.

Masayoshi Hironaka calculated very accurately, and he aimed at the shore of the Salt Lake.

Although from the beginning to the end, Uetake didn't say the location of the enemy when he asked for artillery support, let alone what the situation was or what the enemy was, Hironaka only got one piece of information, and that was "Salt Lake".

However, for a smart person like Guangzhong, just knowing these two words is enough.

Because the salt lake is a gap in Yuncheng's defense, requesting artillery reinforcements in this direction at this time means a sneak attack by the enemy.

At the same time, the artillery reinforcements were so urgent that it was too late to describe the situation, which meant that the enemy was very close.

In this case, it must be right to target the shore of the Salt Lake and be near the South Gate.

So the shells hit the salt lake one after another. The two brigades fired more than 100 cannons, and each cannon fired three rapid shots, that is, more than [-] shells.

There was a chaotic sound of "booming", and the shells exploded into the sky in the salt lake.

A landing ship was directly hit by a shell and burst into flames, and two landing ships were overturned by the rising water column. The whole ship turned into a tank in the water, and then slowly sank to the bottom of the lake.

The command ship where Wang Xuexin was on was also swaying back and forth on the turbulent water, surrounded by the fog from the shells and the searchlights strafing over. There is also the blood and life of the soldiers.

"Keep going!" Wang Xuexin yelled.

In fact, no one can hear the shout at this time, even Gangzi, who is close at hand, is no exception.

Wang Xuexin just shouted to release his inner fear...Although he is already a veteran, although he is already a battalion commander, although he has fought many battles and died, but no matter how many battles he has fought, it is the same, because every battle Battle is a test of life and death, and it will make people feel chills in the bottom of their hearts.

At this moment, there was another "swish" sound in the air, and Wang Xuexin knew that the rocket launchers of the Eighth Route Army had begun to counterattack.

The rocket launcher was commanded by Lao Jiu, and there were thirteen rocket launchers in total.

This is already all the rocket launchers that can be found in Zhongtiao Mountain within three days... Some rocket launchers were either too far away to arrive in time, or they were useless because they ran out of ammunition. In the end, they gathered thirteen vehicles.

But thirteen seemed to be enough.

Because they hid in the dark and waited for the devil artillery to fire.

This time is different from the last time. When we fought Yuncheng last time, because there were many people in Yuncheng and the accuracy of the rockets was not high, we were afraid to fire with confidence.

But this time, all the people in Yuncheng were driven out by the devils, and it was almost an empty city, so there was no worry about fighting.

As soon as the Devil artillery opened fire, the artillery observers arranged at a high place immediately calculated its position through the fire from the muzzle, and more than a hundred rockets flew towards Yuncheng two minutes later.

Just listening to a burst of "booming", Yuncheng was immediately blown into flames.

Some of these rockets were incendiary bombs, and most of the houses in Yuncheng were wooden houses at this time, which immediately caused a raging fire in the city.

Masayoshi Hironaka scolded: "Asshole, I should have known they were prepared!"

It is one thing to know it, but another thing to use it on the battlefield. After this bombing, the two artillery brigades of Guangzhong Zhengyi lost at least more than ten artillery pieces.

More importantly, the artillery had to move its position, otherwise it was very likely to be bombed again.

So, it's time for the Landing Force to perform...
