Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 868 Procrastination
He Zhimin thought he heard it wrong, so he emphasized it again: "Battle Commander, we only have ten pieces, and we will lose them after we finish fighting! The rest will have to wait for Yingjiang's gyroscope to be delivered..."

"I know!" Wang Xuexin did not explain to He Zhimin: "Go and prepare!"

"Yes!" He Zhimin replied helplessly.

Even Chen Songyong couldn't understand it now, and after he and Zhimin left, he asked, "Battle Commander, if the ten bullets are finished, what if the devils retaliate and our army has no follow-up countermeasures, is it right?" Are you exposing your weakness to the devils?"

Wang Xuexin understood what Chen Songyong meant.

Usually, the two armies will not run out of shells in battle, especially in artillery battles.

It's like the infantry always keeping a reserve in case of emergency.

Unexpected things will always happen on the battlefield, so the infantry needs a reserve team for emergencies, and the artillery needs to reserve a batch of shells or even an artillery to deal with emergencies.

Now, Wang Xuexin has exhausted all the "high fire" in the inventory as soon as he comes up, which inevitably makes He Zhimin and Chen Songyong worried.

Wang Xuexin didn't answer and asked instead: "Mr. Chen, do you think the devils are ready?"

Chen Songyong thought for a while, then replied: "I think the devils are basically ready, the aviation unit, the air defense unit, the radar unit... the artillery unit is the least important in this link!"

Wang Xuexin asked again: "Then, how long do you think the devils will launch an artillery battle? That is, open fire on Yuncheng?"

Chen Songyong hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "I'm not sure, but if you are prepared, it may be a day or two!"

Wang Xuexin nodded and said: "It may take a week or even longer for Yingjiang's gyroscope to arrive, and we still need time to install the gyroscope and conduct some tests. To accumulate a certain amount, the preliminary estimate will take more than ten days! That is to say, if we don’t open fire, Yuncheng is likely to endure the shelling of the devils for about ten days. Have you calculated how much loss it will suffer and how much panic it will cause? "

Chen Songyong nodded in understanding.

In fact, the loss is second to none. The key point is the confidence of the people in Yuncheng in the Eighth Route Army.

There is no doubt that the Eighth Route Army is capable of fighting guerrillas.

But guarding the city... This is the first time for a big girl to sit in a bridal sedan chair.

And the devils came up with heavy artillery, forming an absolute advantage over the Eighth Route Army that "you can't hit me, but I can hit you".

So let alone more than ten days, it is very likely that the hearts of the people will disperse after a few days, and then they will start to flee on a large scale.

The fact that Yuncheng has become an empty city does not mean that it cannot be defended, but where else can the Eighth Route Army retreat?

If Yuncheng is lost, is there any place to defend or better to defend?

I'm afraid the only option is to go back to the mountains and fight guerrillas!

Then Chen Songyong felt something was wrong again, and he said, "Battle Commander, but we...can we stop the devils if we shoot out all ten 'high fires' in one breath?"

"No!" Wang Xuexin replied.

"Then we still do this..."

Wang Xuexin interrupted Chen Songyong: "I was delaying time."

"Delaying time?" Chen Songyong still didn't understand Wang Xuexin's intention.

"This is an unprecedented piece of equipment, Staff Officer Chen!" Wang Xuexin explained: "If...you stand in the position of a devil, you thought that the enemy did not have the equipment to hit the heavy artillery, but suddenly, the enemy has far surpassed the heavy artillery. What do you think when the new weapons with a high range blow up the heavy artillery units? Do you think the enemy only has so many 'high fires'?"

Chen Songyong said "Oh": "The devils didn't expect us to finish the inventory at one time, so they were afraid of this kind of equipment. On the one hand, they were guessing what kind of equipment it was, and on the other hand, they were simulating and discussing countermeasures. When I tried it, Ying-chan's gyroscope had already arrived!"

Wang Xuexin thought so.

Of course, this is also a kind of risk. For example, if the devils are not afraid of death and then use heavy artillery to retaliate, then the Eighth Route Army's weak reserves will be exposed.

However, as the so-called wealth and wealth are sought in danger, in order not to cause turmoil in Yuncheng and cause losses to the people, Wang Xuexin believes that it is still necessary to do so.

Because there is another point that Chen Songyong didn't think of: if the people know that the Eighth Route Army has a kind of equipment that can blow up the enemy's heavy artillery tens of kilometers away, it means that the enemy's heavy artillery can in turn constitute "I can hit you but you can't." If you don't have the advantage of "I", then what will happen?
This can obviously stabilize the hearts of the people, and even if a few shells fall on Yuncheng and explode causing casualties, I'm afraid it won't cause too much panic.

Because the people would think: the artillery of the Eighth Route Army can hit farther, and the devils will pay a heavy price every time they fire a shell.

This kind of preconceived idea is what Wang Xuexin needs.

Everything went smoothly.

First, the reconnaissance team sent back the coordinates of the Devils artillery position... The coordinates are quite accurate, because they are the result of five measurements and calculations by the reconnaissance team from different positions and angles.

Then He Zhimin commanded the "High Fire" troops to set up the launchers overnight.

The equipment set off after dark, and arrived at a location 35 kilometers away from Yuncheng in a few hours... The devil's heavy artillery is [-] kilometers away from Yuncheng, and the "high fire" is [-] kilometers away from Yuncheng. The straight-line distance will never exceed [-] kilometers. This distance is just right.

Then one by one launchers were erected in the dark with the assistance of the logistics force.

I didn't use a flashlight the whole time because I was worried that spies would find out... Although the intelligence personnel of the Eighth Route Army are everywhere in the enemy-controlled areas, the intelligence personnel of the devils and the puppet army are also everywhere in the base areas. Wang Xuexin can only be more careful. .

The erected launcher was modified and equipped with tracks, so it was a bit troublesome. It took more than two hours to complete the installation, and then entered the tense adjustment of the launcher angle and input the height in the "high fire" control system.

This is actually an approximate figure.

The angle of the launcher represents the angle at which the "High Fire" enters the predetermined altitude. After reaching this altitude, the "High Fire" will rely on its own control system to maintain the altitude and flight attitude and fly towards the target until it reaches the target position before making a dive.

He Zhimin seemed a little nervous, and he asked: "There is still some time, should we get closer to the enemy, so that the accuracy will be higher!"

"How close?" Wang Xuexin asked, "Thirty kilometers? Twenty kilometers?"

Seeing that He Zhimin didn't answer, Wang Xuexin came to a conclusion: "At this distance, it's meaningless if it's too close. Even if you can hit it, it's not worth much!"
