Chapter 602 When will you hit Taiyuan?

Following Li Yunlong's order.

The artillerymen of the heavy howitzer company immediately got busy, first removing all the branches from the cannon.

As the branches were pulled down, a steel behemoth suddenly appeared in everyone's field of vision.

The entire gun body plus the chassis is even more technological and ruthless than the 150mm howitzer currently equipped by the new regiment.

The weight of the gun barrel alone reached 5.2 tons, and the total weight of the 150mm howitzers equipped with the new regiment was only 5.5 tons.

This means that the weight of the barrel of the B4 heavy howitzer is already close to the weight of the entire 150mm howitzer.

In order not to divulge the new-type killer equipped, Li Yunlong has sent a guard battalion to arrive in advance and set up a guard to ensure absolute safety within a 3-kilometer range.

In addition, more than 20 37mm anti-aircraft guns of the air defense battalion are arranged around the B4 heavy howitzer, and the B4 heavy howitzer is used for air defense throughout the whole process to prevent the devil's reconnaissance plane from breaking in suddenly.

Under the operation of the artillerymen, the chassis was slowly lowered, and the rear hoe was inserted into the ground to form a stable shooting platform.

Quickly transition from a transport state to a combat state.

After the gun was mounted firmly, the artilleryman began to turn the handle, and the elevation angle of the gun barrel was slowly raised, so that the gun barrel pointed directly in the direction of the devil's gun tower.

As the shooting elements were determined, several artillerymen with big arms and round waists worked together to carry a concrete penetrating bomb and put it on the small crane on the left.

One artilleryman operated a small crane to slowly raise the concrete penetrating projectile to the position of the barrel, and the other artilleryman then used a long rammer to forcibly push the projectile into the barrel, and then put the round ammunition package into the barrel , and then close the breech.

"Reporting to the commander, the B4 heavy howitzer has been loaded!"

The artillery company commander held a low-power walkie-talkie and loudly reported to Li Yunlong who was watching from a distance.

"fire!"

Li Yunlong's order was short but full of energy. The voice was not surprising, but when the soldiers of the Xinyi regiment heard the voice, all of them immediately turned into howling wolves with enthusiasm.

"fire!"

Moving the walkie-talkie away from his ear, the artillery company commander shouted.

"boom!"

As the flanking artillery pulled the matchlock back.

There was a huge sound of cannon firing, and a huge orange-red fireworks burst out from the muzzle of the cannon. A strong wind swept across the cannon base, and a large cloud of dust and mist suddenly rose around the cannon body.

The gun barrel retreated suddenly, but the chassis remained motionless.

Because the artillery has fixed the chassis on the ground before firing, and the B4 heavy howitzer uses a double retreat system, it is as stable as an old dog when shooting.

Of course, it is also possible to fix the chassis without hoeing, but the entire crawler chassis has to retreat several meters before stopping after firing a shot.

Soviet designers made a fuss about the gun bed of the artillery. When firing the shell, the gun bed can slide along the slide rails on the gun mount to further buffer the recoil.

In addition, when firing shells, the chassis of the cannon will lower its posture downwards. When lowering, the hoe at the rear of the vehicle will also be inserted into the ground, making the shooting platform more stable.

The next second after the sound of the gunfire, a loud noise like a landslide came again.

"boom--"

The earth is trembling for it, shaking mountains and shaking mountains.

Everyone's telescope vision has been focused on the devil's gun tower.

In the field of vision of the telescope, a huge fireball and gunpowder smoke suddenly rose from the devil's gun tower. Gravel and shrapnel first splashed with the air waves at an extremely fast speed, and then fell down one after another.

As the gunpowder smoke dissipated, a reinforced concrete gun tower with a height of six to seven meters was immediately blown to pieces.

Everyone who saw this scene had expressions of horror on their faces.

"This power..."

Zhao Gang couldn't help but gasped. Although he had expected it in his heart, he still felt his scalp tingle when he saw this scene.

Zhao Gang is naturally very clear about how strong the reinforced concrete fortifications are.

The 150mm howitzer equipped by the new regiment is expected to hit it 20 to 30 times before it has a chance to collapse the turret.

However, this 203mm heavy howitzer solved it with only one shot, and it seemed to be more than capable.

The originally sturdy reinforced concrete gun tower was destroyed by this heavy howitzer.

"This……"

The crowd suddenly widened their eyes.

"It was killed with one shot?"

Kong Jie looked extremely surprised.

"Lao Li, you've made a lot of money this time, and I think this cannon is no worse than the kid's 240mm cannon."

Ding Wei glanced at Li Yunlong with joy in his eyes.

I am happy for the strength of my old comrades in arms and the growth of the Eighth Route Army.

Li Yunlong said angrily: "It looks like you have seen the kid's 240mm cannon fire?"

Xing Zhiguo said:
"The equipment and logistical support of the National Army are much better than our Eighth Route Army, right?"

"But even Lao Jiang doesn't have a cannon of this caliber. The largest caliber artillery currently equipped by the national army is the 150mm howitzer equipped by the new regiment."

"If Lao Jiang finds out about this," Kong Jie said, "Lao Jiang will be extremely jealous!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Now the three regiments in Northwest Shanxi, especially the new regiment, have much better equipment and logistical support than the most elite troops of the national army.

Even the equipment of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army is better than that of the National Army.

Of course, the equipment of the brother troops in other military regions has not yet come up, so the overall strength of the Eighth Route Army still has a lot of room for development.

Like the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment at their peak, their respective militia plus main force are about 1 people, and their respective combat effectiveness is comparable to that of a Japanese second-line division.

However, there is no pressure for a second-line division of the Japanese army to fight against one or two armies of the national army.

Lao Jiang couldn't buy this 203mm howitzer even with money.

"This is a special reinforced concrete armor-piercing projectile, of course it is not small." Immediately afterwards, Li Yunlong said with a satisfied expression.

No wonder it can penetrate the devils and thicken the gun towers.

Everyone was stunned, but their eyes became even hotter.

In particular, Wang Fafa, the commander of the sixth battalion of the division, and Zhao Youliang, the commander of the seventh battalion, held their heads high and their chests high, with proud expressions.

Because of this artillery, they earned it by ambushing and blowing up the devil's heavy artillery unit in Miao'ergou.

Wang Fafa, Zhao Youliang, and the sixth and seventh battalions of the division all received awards from the headquarters. This is a collective honor belonging to the sixth and seventh battalions of the division.

"Good shot!"

Chief of Staff Wang Dehou exhaled.

Once this kind of cannon is pulled onto the battlefield, it is definitely a devil's nightmare.

Directly smashing the reinforced concrete fortifications of the devils is not a joke with the devils. Even if the bunker or bunker cannot be destroyed by a single shot, it can still kill the devils and puppet soldiers inside.

"Captain, do you want to fire another shot?"

The commander of the heavy howitzer company called Li Yunlong on the walkie-talkie.

"Stop hitting, pull it back."

Li Yunlong took the walkie-talkie and gave the order.

"Yes!"

After the company commander responded loudly, he hung up the call.

I pulled this cannon out today mainly to see its power. I have to say that Li Yunlong is very satisfied with this power.

The city wall used to attack Taiyuan should be able to open a gap with one shot.

Li Yunlong plans to use these cannons as secret weapons, and will use them next time he fights Taiyuan.

The only dissatisfaction is that there are too few guns, only 4.

In addition, see if there is any business and whether you can earn more of these cannons.

If the new regiment is equipped with dozens or hundreds of such heavy howitzers, Li Yunlong feels that he can walk sideways on the Chinese battlefield.

"Boss Chen said that dignity is only on the edge of the sword, and truth is only within the range of a cannon."

"We have this heavy howitzer, so that the kid will know what truth is!"

Looking at the artillerymen of the busy heavy howitzer company, Li Yunlong felt refreshed, high-spirited and full of energy.

Ding Wei's expression was serious: "These words are encouraging. At any time, only when the fist is strong enough can we defend our country and nation, and we Communists have the right to speak."

"You need to be strong to make iron." Kong Jie also nodded and said, "Boss Chen has provided us with such good equipment, we must not disappoint Boss Chen's wishes."

In Kong Jie's view.

Boss Chen could have chosen the national army as the target of assistance.

Because many people only recognize the national army as a regular army.

The Eighth Route Army has only a dozen or so regiments with a formal establishment. The designations of the New First Regiment, the New Second Regiment, and the Independent Regiment cannot be found in the national army's establishment table.

However, Boss Chen was doing business with Li Yunlong on the surface, but he was actually using Li Yunlong as an intermediary to help the entire Eighth Route Army.

It is also with the assistance of Boss Chen that the Eighth Route Army in Southeast Shanxi has achieved greater development.

Li Yunlong said: "Of course, when did our Xinyituan disappoint Boss Chen?"

"Let's not talk about this first." Ding Wei looked away from the B4 heavy howitzer, looked at Li Yunlong, and asked, "Old Li, explain to me and Lao Kong, when are you going to fight Taiyuan?"

This time, the Japanese army raided Northwest Shanxi, although the Xinyi regiment did not suffer a big loss, and even made a lot of money because of doing business.

But Ding Wei and Kong Jie, comrades from the class, knew Li Yunlong too well. This guy never traded at a loss.

This time, he was attacked by devils once. Although he defeated the 10th Division, with the strength of the new regiment, Li Yunlong would definitely not be able to swallow this breath, and he would definitely find his place back sooner or later.

"It's not good to fight Taiyuan." Li Yunlong shook his head.

Even though he said that, Li Yunlong was already thinking about how to be a little devil.

After all, Taiyuan is the home of the Japanese First Army, and it takes the right time, place and people to attack Taiyuan.

"Yes!" Ding Wei glanced at Kong Jie and said, "Since Lao Li doesn't want to talk about it, then I won't ask any more questions."

After a pause, Ding Wei said again: "I have a business with Lao Kong, and I want to cooperate with you Xinyituan."

"Oh? What business do you have with Lao Kong?"

When it comes to business, Li Yunlong immediately regained his spirits.

Although he can't beat Taiyuan for the time being, Li Yunlong is not a master who can sit idle.
