I am helping

Chapter 416 Boom!
"Old Li, I'm afraid this is not very good?"

Zhao Gang said in a worried tone: "Considering that new weapons must be kept secret, this heavy artillery needs to be kept secret even more. We can find a barren mountain to test the cannon."

If the Japanese army knew that the Eighth Route Army was equipped with heavy artillery, they would definitely regard it as a top priority and try their best to destroy it.

In Zhao Gang's view, these heavy artillery should be the first-class strategic weapons of the Xinyi Regiment and even the Eighth Route Army, and they should be kept absolutely secret, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.

Like Li Yunlong, it is absolutely unacceptable to pull out the heavy artillery to show off as soon as you get it.

That is, in the northwest of Shanxi, if it is in the southeast of Shanxi at this moment, Zhao Gang estimated that one or two of these heavy artillery would be reserved for the new regiment.

The rest of the heavy artillery will definitely be taken by the head of the headquarters to form the heavy artillery regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

"Of course it must be kept secret." Li Yunlong said, "However, Lao Zhao, have you ever thought about it? Let's fire here and kill all the devils and puppet troops in the stronghold ten kilometers away. Who will leak the secret?"

Zhao Gang asked, "What about the people in Dagu Town?"

"Ordinary people will not leak secrets." Li Yunlong said, "Let's not say that the devil's stronghold is one kilometer away from Dagu Town. Can ordinary people distinguish between heavy howitzers and mountain artillery?"

"Let's blow up the stronghold, then occupy Dagu Town, and kill the traitors in Dagu Town. How dare the devils in Anhua County come to take back Dagu Town?"

"This..." Zhao Gang thought about it carefully, but he couldn't find anything to refute.

Now in the surrounding counties, there is a new mass of fat on the lips, and you can eat it whenever you want.

According to such an analysis, it seems that the secret will not be leaked.

Seeing that Zhao Gang couldn't find any words to refute, Li Yunlong said loudly: "That's it, the first battalion gathers, the sword squadron gathers, Wang Chengzhu and the artillery are ready to fire!"

"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao, Lu Yingjun and Wang Chengzhu stood up and shouted in unison.

Zhang Dabiao turned around and left to assemble a battalion, ready to attack Dagu Town.

Wang Chengzhu turned around and asked the guards to go to the artillery battalion to call some artillerymen.

The Sword Squadron is already here, so there is no need to gather immediately.

Li Yunlong said to Zhao Gang again: "Old Zhao, we are newcomers, and the people around us don't know what our new regiment is capable of. We have to show our true abilities to the folks from all over the world. This will help us to carry out our work in the future." There are benefits."

"Okay." Zhao Gang nodded and no longer objected.

Li Yunlong did nothing wrong in this point. The Xinyi Regiment arrived in Northwest Shanxi, and they really wanted to fight a victory to show the villagers.

In the future, it will be much easier to carry out all kinds of work, whether it is recruiting troops or building roads.

Lu Yingjun personally checked the detailed data of this 150 heavy artillery with Wang Chengzhu.

Not long after, the first battalion was assembled.

Immediately Li Yunlong gave the order to set off, and everyone followed Li Yunlong to Dagu Town.

The straight-line distance from Dagu Town to Zhaojiayu Village is about 10 kilometers, but because it is a mountain road, the distance is more than ten kilometers.

But for the troops to march in a hurry, it is more than an hour's journey.

More than an hour later, the troops arrived in Dagu Town. Under Zhang Dabiao's order, one battalion and one company surrounded the devil's stronghold, and the other three companies and artillery companies surrounded Dagu Town.

Under Lu Yingjun's order, several members of the Sword Squadron took a step forward on horseback and cut off the telephone lines connecting Dagu Town, the devil's stronghold and the county.

Lying on the soil slope more than 800 meters away from the devil's stronghold, Li Yunlong raised his binoculars to look.

This is a standard small stronghold of devils, a medium-sized gun tower, two bunkers, and several brick and stone barracks.

The devil's stronghold is located on the side of the road into the mountain, guarding the traffic arteries. The firepower of the gun towers in the devil's stronghold can seal off the surrounding area for hundreds of meters.

"Next, let's take a look at the power of this heavy artillery."

Li Yunlong put down his binoculars and glanced at the people around him. Zhao Gang, Wang Dehou, Xing Zhiguo and all the battalion commanders followed to see the excitement.

Finally, Li Yunlong stopped his gaze on Lu Yingjun: "Lu Yingjun, it's up to you!"

"Leader, take a look!"

Lu Yingjun took out the precision marksmanship map he carried with him and set up the artillery mirror, and began to count the shooting elements.

At a distance of ten kilometers, unless the heavy artillery is pulled to the highest nearby mountain, there is a chance to see the target 10 kilometers away with the artillery team mirror.

Otherwise, it can only be guided by shelling.

Chen Feng provided a map of the precision shooting method in Shanxi. Lu Yingjun and his special team members have long been proficient in using and mastering it, and have rich actual combat experience.

Li Yunlong said again: "You kid, take it easy, don't guide the shells to our heads, if this one hits, all our cadres above the Xinyi regiment battalion will have to play."

"No, don't worry, leader." Wei Dayong said, "We are 800 meters away from the devil's stronghold. With our captain's skills, there will be errors but not that big."

"That's good." Li Yunlong nodded.

Soon, Lu Yingjun calculated the preliminary shooting parameters based on the precision shooting method map.

"Monk, a high-powered walkie-talkie!"

Wei Dayong immediately turned around, took the high-power walkie-talkie, and put it in front of Lu Yingjun.

Lu Yingjun turned on the walkie-talkie, adjusted the channel, then put the walkie-talkie to his ear and said, "Dongsan, I'm Dongsan, the target is the Japanese army stronghold in Dagu Town, the scale is 950, 35 to the right, 31 to the top, try one shot." shoot!"

……

at the same time.

Zhaojiayu Village Back Mountain Shooting Range.

The artillery battalion has taken over here.

Wang Chengzhu ordered 6 army horses to pull these heavy artillery apart from each other, and then covered them with a large number of corn stalks to prevent them from being discovered by devils' reconnaissance planes.

Although the probability of being discovered is very low, it has to be guarded against.

These cannons are indeed very heavy, and it takes 6 military horses at the same time to barely move them.

If it is a slightly steeper uphill, it is difficult for 6 army horses to pull it up.

The 150mm heavy artillery that was about to be fired was also found with the help of military horses, and the angle was found and the artillery position was built.

Listening to the voice from the high-power walkie-talkie, Wang Chengzhu repeated aloud, and the artillerymen quickly adjusted and fired at Zhu Yuan according to the data.

"Load the shells, move fast!"

shouted the gunner, the company commander.

After the shooting elements were adjusted, the members of the artillery crew began to load the shells. A big-armed artilleryman took out a high-explosive shell from the ammunition box and walked towards the cannon.

This projectile weighs 43.52 kilograms, and it cannot be held by even weaklings.

Another artilleryman used a long rammer to force the projectile into the barrel, and the artilleryman on the left charged the specified amount.

After charging, the breech bolt was closed, and the artilleryman in charge of pulling the rope wrapped the matchlock twice around his hand and held it tightly.

"Ready!"

The gunner shouted again.

Wang Chengzhu: "Fire!"

"put!"

The gunner who received the order shouted the order.

"boom!"

Accompanied by the loud sound of firing, a burst of flames burst out from the muzzle of the gun, and a large cloud of dust rose up around the heavy gun.

The shell rushed out of the barrel in an instant.

Seeing the movement made by this big baby, the artillerymen did not have the slightest fear, but their expressions were full of joy, the first shot was fired!

Unlike the 105mm howitzer, the firing sound of this 150mm howitzer is more dull and powerful, like a violent drumming sound, directly hitting people's hearts.

Obviously, this gun is much more powerful than the 105mm howitzer.

……

More than 30 seconds passed as Lu Yingjun conveyed the shooting of Zhu Yuan.

Only then did a faint and sharp whistling sound resound in the sky.

As the whistling sound became louder, everyone looked up, but they didn't see the ballistic trajectory, they only heard the whistling sound passing overhead.

The cannonball fell to the ground quickly, bursting out a huge fireball and smoke. After several seconds, the sound of an explosion like landslides and ground cracks came rumbling.

Everyone quickly raised their binoculars to look, and the direction was crooked, and the shells also flew more than 300 meters past the stronghold.

The first shot missed.

However, this cannon was a trial shot, and Lu Yingjun quickly recalculated the shooting parameters based on the point of impact, and conveyed it to Wang Chengzhu.

Soon the shells that were readjusted to shoot Zhu Yuan arrived.

The direction of the shot was right, but the point of impact was still more than 150 meters away.

The first shot landed behind the stronghold, and the second shot landed in front of the stronghold, but they were getting closer and closer to the target.

At this time, the devils and puppet troops in the stronghold were panicked. Even if they were pig-headed, they knew that the enemy was shelling the stronghold.

And the cannon is very powerful.

The leader of the Devils Division tried his best to call for help, but it was useless because the telephone line had been cut.

Then, the devils and puppet troops got out of the stronghold and wanted to escape, but they were quickly suppressed by the intensive firepower of the first battalion and company.

There are a hundred ways to attack such a small stronghold of devils with the strength of Xinyi regiment.

However, Li Yunlong wanted to use this devil's stronghold as a target to try the power of the newly acquired heavy artillery.

Soon, the whistle of the third high-explosive shell rang out. If this shell still failed to hit the devil's stronghold, Li Yunlong would be scolding his mother.

The shells fell precisely into the devil's stronghold, a huge flame surged up, and then turned into huge gunpowder smoke, and the devil's bunker and gun tower in the stronghold were directly shattered in the explosion.

This is the bunkers, gun towers and barracks scattered throughout the stronghold were blown up during the shelling.

This……

The crowd suddenly widened their eyes.

I have fought so many battles, and I have never seen such a powerful cannon.

One shot can cover an area as large as the shooting range, Boss Chen is not lying to me!

Everyone thought about Chen Feng's words in their hearts, and at the same time, their eyes became hotter.

A few seconds later, the sound of an explosion like landslides and ground cracks came rumblingly. As the gunpowder smoke rose, everyone raised their binoculars and looked towards the stronghold.

When the shells landed in the open space, although a large crater was also blown out, it was still not as intuitive as the shells falling into the devil's stronghold.

The devil's strongholds, gun towers, barracks, even machine gun positions built with sandbags and rocks were all blown to pieces. The surrounding ground seemed to be gnawed by dogs, full of potholes, and the radius of shrapnel scattered around was at least 50 meters.

The devil's stronghold, which was originally fairly well-defended, was almost flattened by this bombardment.

Needless to say, the dozens of devils inside, plus more than 40 puppet troops, were dead at this time.

The scene was quiet for a while.

They had thought that the power of this heavy artillery was a bit big, but the power was still far beyond everyone's expectations.

"What a fucking good gun!"

Leader Li's tone was excited.

"Good shot!"

Zhao Gang couldn't help but exclaimed.

This 150mm heavy gun will be a kid's nightmare!
