People are shining their swords, secretly helping the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi

Chapter 49 Bombarding the Truck Convoy
A Japanese soldier in combat uniform began to appear in the artillery mirror.

Chen Ziyun observed carefully, there were 16 of them!

This Japanese army is equipped with ten submachine guns, one light machine gun, and one grenadier.

The sixteen little devils formed a search formation and kept advancing along the road.

"Chen Tuanfu, these little devils are very strange. Their weapons and equipment are completely different from other Japanese troops."

"And they are more vigilant than ordinary little devils. They search any area repeatedly."

"Fortunately, we are artillerymen. If the infantry is training nearby, they will definitely be discovered by them at the first time."

Zhou Wenbo also saw this little devil. He raised his binoculars and reported immediately.

Chen Ziyun was basically sure that this must be the Yamamoto Secret Service!
"Contact all ministries immediately and prepare for battle."

"No matter how different this little devil is, we must not be polite to the fat that is brought to our lips."

"Training is for actual combat. Now a little devil has hit the muzzle of the gun. Don't say anything, just hit!"

Chen Ziyun gave up the artillery mirror and said with a serious expression on his face.

The signal soldier in the observation post immediately picked up the microphone and began to convey combat orders to the companies.

Chen Ziyun didn't delay either. Zhou Wenbo was in charge of the observation station, and now he needed to return to command the artillery unit.

A dozen little devils continued to move forward, they were very cautious and kept a distance from each other.

The three observation stations of the observation team were all locked, and they were closely monitoring the surrounding situation.

The Second Artillery Company, which mainly performs combat strikes, has begun to readjust.

A series of Bofors cannons were aimed at the direction of the road.

The gunners immediately got busy, and ammunition boxes were quickly transported over.

Compared with the Jin orogenic cannon, which can only fire a single grenade, there are many kinds of Bofors cannon shells.

The shells that the Bofors cannon can fire include armor-piercing shells, mine shells, and high-explosive shells!

And it can also launch special ammunition such as smoke bombs, flares, incendiary bombs, and shrapnel.

Of course, it is 40 years now, and the Bofors cannon and shells are imported.

Therefore, even Wei Junru, who served as the commander-in-chief of the first theater and the deputy commander-in-chief of the second theater, could not get enough shells.

With six mountain cannons, six hundred rounds of shells is Wei Junru's limit.

Of the 550 shells, [-] were grenades, and only fifty were armor-piercing shells.

As for other types of ammunition, let alone Wei Junru, I am afraid that even the logistics department does not have many.

Chen Ziyun looked at the boxes of grenades, and his heart was filled with emotion.

If there were shrapnel shells, the shelling would be launched and fired towards the Yamamoto special team, that would be called lively.

It's just a pity that they didn't have many rounds of armor-piercing shells, let alone shrapnel shells.

The first artillery company, the second artillery company, and the guard company immediately entered a fighting state.

Chen Ziyun observed through the telescope, and he was very satisfied with the performance of these officers and soldiers.

Up to now, these artillery units are basically able to show the training results.

It's just a pity that the six Bofors mountain guns don't have a detailed shooting parameter table, which affects their combat effectiveness.

If they had a detailed shooting parameter table, Chen Ziyun was confident that with these six mountain cannons, he would be able to severely damage the Yamamoto Secret Service!
At [-]:[-], the Zhou Wenbo Observation Office sent a message.

The little devil's vanguard has passed, and sixteen Japanese troops are gradually advancing towards Yangcun.

Chen Ziyun raised his binoculars to observe, but because of the distance, he couldn't see very clearly.

But after a few minutes, he could still see trucks starting to appear on the road.

The back of these trucks is completely closed, and it is impossible to see how many people are inside.

At 04:30, when Zhou Wenbo reported, fifteen trucks appeared on the road.

And the Artillery Observatory here has begun to provide relevant data.

"Chen Tuanfu, these little devils are obviously going to Yangcun, let's fight or not!"

"They're all in the carriage. If you launch intensive shelling, even if you can't kill them all, you can still kill most of their troops."

Li Yang, the second company commander, quickly came to Chen Ziyun, and asked with an anxious expression on his face.

Seeing his expression, I can't wait to start shelling immediately!
"Hehehe, it would be a pity if you don't eat the fat that's on your lips!"

"Send the order, the artillery company [-] and the guard company will cover, and the artillery company [-] will start shelling!"

"Target the Japanese truck, quickly bombard it, and try to wipe it out!"

Chen Ziyun put down the binoculars, and with a serious expression on his face, he gave the order directly.

As the order was communicated, the Second Artillery Company launched its operations.

A gunner began to set up the differentiation and determine the direction.

The gauge vernier of the gun moves to the corresponding charge gauge, and then rotates the gauge to rotate the setting gauge to determine the distance.

The second gunner turns the high and low differentiation screw with his left hand, and moves the high and low angle wheel with his right hand to center the high and low level bubbles to determine the shooting angle.

The seventh gunner took out the warhead and handed it to the fifth gunner to set the fuze.

The sixth gunner took the empty gun barrel handed over by the eighth gunner, and loaded the No. [-] charge pack according to the order.

Immediately afterwards, the ninth gunner handed the loaded gun barrel to the fifth gunner.

The fifth gunner assembled the warhead and barrel and handed it over to the fourth gunner for loading.

Chen Ziyun had already drawn up the benchmark run, and Bofors Mountain Cannon No. 18 fired first.

With a "boom", the gun body vibrated, the smoke filled the air, and the dust flew up.

A grenade escaped from the barrel, spinning at high speed and flying towards the target.

The observation post immediately observed the impact point, and then quickly contacted the Second Artillery Company.

Immediately afterwards, the company commander Li Yang issued an order to check the shooting.

The artillery started firing, and shells were fired one after another.

Six Bofors cannons roared simultaneously.

After confirming that it was correct, the six Bofors cannons began to fire!
A total of 37 shells were fired one after another towards the trucks on the road.

For a while, the sound of explosions continued, and a moving truck was directly hit by shells.

With a bang, the truck was instantly detonated.

Some trucks were also shelled, the driver was obviously injured, and the truck directly hit the side stones.

Of course, some shells deviated and did not hit the target range.

The observation station reports here and shoots Zhu Yuan accurately, and the six Bofors mountain guns bombard again.

A grenade was fired again. This time, the little devil truck on the road could not move at all.

The barrels of the six Bofors guns were scorching hot from eighty rounds.

"Chen Tuanfu, the main observation post of the observation team reported that all the Japanese trucks were destroyed!"

"No one in the vehicle escaped, and all may have died."

At five o'clock, a messenger came to Chen Ziyun and reported immediately.

When Chen Ziyun heard the report, there was no joy on his face, but he became solemn.
