Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 82
In the end, Li Yunlong and Li Changfu made an appointment to carry out shelling and attack in the middle of the defense line.

This is mainly because the two ends of the Guizi's line of defense are rounded in the middle, and hitting the two ends won't do much. It only needs to shrink in the middle, but hitting the middle can divide the Guizi into two and surround it.

On the other hand, the Guizi's headquarters is likely to be located in the middle, and if he breaks through, he can directly attack Huanglong and paralyze his command center.

The military situation was urgent, and Li Changfu gave Li Yunlong only 15 minutes to prepare. Li Yunlong immediately asked the correspondent to order Lao Jiu to get ready.

When Laojiu heard this order, he was confused: "15 minutes? What is the range of this cannon? What is the shooting range? What's the point?"

Hardware spread his hands and replied: "There is nothing, this cannon has just come out, the point is to follow the serial number, and the number of cannons will shoot the number of cannonballs in the box!"

Lao Jiu rolled his eyes and looked like he was about to die.

One of your mother's arsenal technicians heard that he was the director of the branch, and came up to say this?

The old wine can be heard. The caliber of each cannon and even the size and weight of each cannonball are different. Isn't the fight a blind man riding a blind horse?

If you give Lao Jiu some time to explore, maybe you can still grasp some rules, but now you don't know anything when you look in the dark.

But after hesitating for a while, Lao Jiu still had an idea. He ordered: "Choose three cannons and shoot each one, and let the opposite side coordinate with the observation of the blasting point to adjust!"

Then came a series of tense operations: use the phone of the regiment to contact the Hundred Battles and ask them to prepare observers. Here Lao Jiu set up three cannons to fire a shell each, and then reported by phone that the bombing point was close to the target. Still far.

This process is only a few words, but to complete it in a few minutes without error, it really requires troops who have fought a war to do it.

And there are some doors.

For example, the cannonballs shot by Laojiu are all adjusted to a 45-degree firing angle, and the cannon fired at this angle has the longest range.

If the impact point is far away, move the gun back, and when it is close, move the gun forward.

The longest firing range is set, and other guns roughly estimate their longest firing range based on their caliber. Although it is not accurate, it is better than having a blind eye.

Lao Jiu ran around with a group of capable artillerymen and had a good meal. He really deployed seven cannons and more than 15 shells in 100 minutes.

On the Japanese side, Takeda Kazuo faintly felt that something was wrong.

Takeda Kazuo is a battle-hardened veteran who is very sensitive to the whistling sound of cannonballs, because on the battlefield he always judges the explosion point of the cannonball based on the whistling sound to consider whether to avoid it.

At this time, he was in a hurry to send electricity to the military to inquire about the arrival time of the second batch of airdrops. If the supplies were not in place, he had to order the soldiers to drive the enemy out with bayonets.

At this moment, there was a sudden whistling of artillery shells in the air. Although it was not loud or harsh, it was not even so obvious in the sound of gunfire and explosions, but Kazuo Takeda noticed it.

"Did you hear that?" Kazuo Takeda asked the staff.

The staff officer did not answer, he did not understand what Kazuo Takeda was referring to.

"The sound of shells!" Kazuo Takeda said, leaning closer to the window to listen carefully.

The staff is even more puzzled. The imperial army is fighting the Eighth Road. Is it abnormal for the sound of artillery shells?

Kazuo Takeda seemed to see the staff's doubts, shook his head and said, "No, it's not like you think. This shell... flew from the west to the east! This is very strange..."

Before he could finish speaking, Takeda Kazuo frowned and said, "Another shot!"

The staff officer listened carefully, and sure enough, he heard the almost invisible whistling of artillery shells, which indeed hit from the west to the east as Takeda Kazuo said.

But the staff still thinks this is normal.

"Perhaps, this is the Eighth Route Army's mistake!" the staff officer said: "With the quality of the Eighth Route Army, it is not surprising that such a situation will occur."

Kazuo Takeda also hoped so, but he had a very bad feeling.

Then, Kazuo Takeda heard another whistle of cannonballs, which almost confirmed his thoughts.

"You are wrong, Ito-kun!" Takeda Kazuo jumped up like an electric shock: "This is the Eighth Route Army artillery test firing, three shells, pointing from the same direction to the same area, which means..."

Saying that, Kazuo Takeda's face turned pale in an instant.

He knew what the Eighth Route Army was planning. They were going to use artillery to bomb the Japanese eastern defense line from the rear.

Kazuo Takeda just glanced at the map, and then ordered: "Order Yoshimoto Squadron, immediately disperse and prepare to avoid the artillery!"

"Yes!" The staff officer did not dare to neglect, and immediately rang the phone of Gibbon Squadron.

The Japanese army was more advanced than the Eighth Route Army in this regard, and their telephones could reach the squadrons, while the Eighth Route barracks-level units rarely had telephones, and communication basically depended on people.

Squadron Captain Yoshimoto was unclear when he received the call:
"Avoid guns? Report to the captain, we have always been careful to avoid guns!"

"What? Artillery at the rear?"

Squadron Captain Yoshimoto did not believe that the enemy in the west had not had much firepower.

But before he could put down the microphone, there was a roar of cannonballs from behind...

Squadron Captain Gibbon only had time to look back at the sky with his terrified eyes, and the next second, the shells smashed into his position.

"Kill!" At the same time as the sound of the cannon, the soldiers of the Hundred Battles jumped up from the cover and rushed towards the Japanese army position. Recklessly rushed forward to fight the devils.

This is something Wang Xuexin didn't expect, and it's also not what Li Yunlong expected... They all thought that the Hundred Chapters would come according to the procedure, that is, after the artillery fire was ready, they would rush up.

In fact, Li Changfu originally planned to do this, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong.

Hundreds of battle groups and devils have fought until now, and the casualty ratio is only two to one, and more than three to one.

When did the Hundred Battles fight so uselessly?

What's more, this batch of artillery shells is likely to be the only chance for the Eighth Route Army. If the enemy's defense line cannot be successfully broken through this time, the consequences will be unimaginable. The troops of the five regiments will be trapped in the east and be surrounded and wiped out by the devils. Li Changfu can't afford it. This responsibility!
Thinking of this, Li Changfu clenched his fist and slammed the cannonball box, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Rush up to me as soon as the cannon sounds! Exchange your life with the devil!"

The staff officer just hesitated, and Li Changfu urged impatiently: "Execute the order!"

"Yes!" The staff officer had to respond and convey the order.

Li Changfu didn't tell Li Yunlong about the situation, so Laojiu didn't know.

If Lao Jiu knew about it, I'm afraid this cannon wouldn't be able to shoot.

Because every time a shell is fired, the artilleryman will think in his heart whether it will blow up his comrades?Are there still soldiers rushing up at this moment?Did the devil have been killed, he didn't know, and he continued to shoot?
I don't know that there is no such psychological pressure, and there is still one shot after another.

The Hundred Battle Group rushed forward, and the Gibbon Squadron had to stand up to fight.

Then there was a very tragic scene on the battlefield: the enemy and us were fighting with their chests in the cannonballs, and the sound of killing was splashing with dust. , and soon there were corpses and blood everywhere.

One thing Li Changfu was right, no matter how much he fought like this, the casualty ratio would not exceed the previous three-to-one ratio.

Soon, the defense line of the Gibbon Squadron was breached, and the captain of the Gibbon Squadron was pierced by a bayonet and fell into a pool of blood. The devil slashed and killed for a while.

Kazuo Takeda knew that the situation was over, and his only regret was that he should not have been defeated by the Eighth Route Army, whom he despised.

Perhaps unwilling to face this, before the Eighth Route Army rushed into the headquarters, he raised the Southern Fourteenth pistol and aimed it at his temple...
