Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

It turned out that the self-propelled artillery of the Eighth Division arrived at the predetermined position and began to pour firepower into Guangli Town. However, the self-propelled artillery units fought very carefully, because the position of the Qing army was too close to the position of the third company, and the artillery shells were slightly If there is a deviation, it will hit three consecutive shots.

The self-propelled artillery units are equipped with 122mm cannon howitzers. The shrapnel produced by the explosion of a shell can cover an area of ​​more than 1000 square meters. The small houses of the people in Guangli Town have such an area. The thin adobe is strong and How many shrapnel attacks can it withstand, so when a shell falls, a large area of ​​the house is razed to the ground in the explosion.

The shell exploded behind the Qing army, which indeed shocked the Qing army a lot. The Qing army also knew that in Lin Yuan's army, the ultra-long-range guns were only averagely powerful, and what was even more powerful was the cannons of Lin Yuan's army. Get up and shake the mountains on the spot, and one shell can kill thousands of people!Compared with Lin Yuan's cannons, the cannons they had seen were just toys.

Taking advantage of the Qing army's stunned work, Lin Yuan's troops threw out a bunch of grenades. Under such combat conditions, the soldiers of Lin Yuan's troops were unable to throw grenades. The reason is very simple. The grenades equipped by Lin Yuan's troops exploded. The time is four seconds. It takes at least five or six seconds for a grenade to be thrown out and explode on the ground. The Qing army on the opposite side is only five or sixty meters away from the front of the position, and it takes five or six seconds. Blinking to the front, who has time for a grenade?

But now the Qing army was stunned, and the speed of the impact slowed down. The soldiers threw out a hand grenade, and countless shrapnel intertwined in the air to form a dead cloud, enveloping the Qing army, leaving a dead body on the battlefield, and the Qing army attacked. The momentum suddenly weakened.

The explosion of the shells in the Qing army did not only affect the morale. The explosion of the shells scattered the follow-up troops of the Qing army, and the follow-up troops could not continue to charge upwards. The pressure on the front defensive positions was immediately reduced. , the commander of the third company was not at all happy to see this situation, but scolded: "You really dare to fire? What if we are bombed?"

However, the scolding is all scolding, the third company commander still celebrated with his subordinates for a while, after all, it is better to be killed by one's own shells than to be killed by the enemy's bullets.

Sanlian's side was elated, but the Qing army on the opposite side was in a panic. Xu Shan watched their carefully drilled houses being blown up one by one, and heard his subordinates screaming like ghosts and wolves, and couldn't help shouting at the top of his voice: "Lin Yuan is so rascal that he used artillery!"

The subordinates thought helplessly: "Master Daotai seems to be in a hurry to lose. Isn't it stupid for Lin Yuan to have guns? Why does he still scold Lin Yuan for this?"

The subordinate hurriedly said: "Master Daotai, let's hide quickly? Cannonballs don't have eyes, and if they hit you, you will be in trouble."

While talking, his subordinates stretched out their hands to pull Xu Shan. Xu Shan shook off his subordinates' hands and said angrily, "How can I withdraw? I'm right here, and let them attack me quickly. I brought 1 people with me today." Come on, I can't beat 200 people, where should I put my face?"

The subordinate hurriedly said: "My lord, is life or face more important? If life is there, shame can be recovered, but if life is gone, nothing will be lost!"

Seeing the shells of Lin Yuan's troops raining down like rain, Xu Shan said helplessly: "Order the troops to retreat one kilometer to avoid the shells of Lin Ni's bandits!" His men hurried to deliver the order, but they did not have a radio station, and the order transmission was very efficient. Low, so a lot of people in the front didn't get orders at all.

This Qing army has always fought to the death without receiving orders, so they still rammed into the muzzle of the third company in batches, and a large area fell in front of the muzzle. The shells had destroyed many houses. It was all blown up, and the cover that the Qing army used to hide no longer existed. The Qing army still rushed up on the rubble, even if they were tripped, they didn't care, they got up and continued to charge.

Without the cover of the house, the heavy machine guns of the third company fired again. The Qing army could not escape the rain of bullets no matter in the distance or in the vicinity. It kept falling, most of the houses had collapsed, and the Qing army didn't even have a place to hide, and a single shell would kill a large number of people.

Under the attack of 122mm cannon howitzers and light and heavy machine guns, the Qing army quickly lost all casualties, and the third company hurriedly reported to its superiors: "Stop firing! The Qing army has retreated."

The sound of the artillery stopped, and there was a rare tranquility on the battlefield, but the third company did not dare to break out, because they knew that the Qing army had not gone far, and must be not far away. Yes, now that the Qing army is withdrawing, they don't know where to fight, so they can't destroy the Qing army.

At this time, several battalion commanders under Xu Shan surrounded Xu Shan again, but the battalion commanders of Feihu Battalion had been beaten to death by shells, and all the battalion commanders said one after another: "What should we do now? Lin Ni The bandit soldiers used cannons, we can’t charge anymore, we will be killed if we charge again, and the house where we were hiding was also blown up, we can’t resist the ultra-long-range guns of Lin Ni bandit soldiers.”

A battalion commander said: "No matter how powerful the ultra-long-distance gun is, it still has a certain number of bullets. It can't be endless, right? I think the Lin Ni bandits don't have many bullets. Think about how many bullets they fired just now?" I think we only need one more charge and they'll run out of bullets, and we're sure to knock them out!"

Another battalion commander said: "Then let people go to die to block the bullets? Well, the people of your battalion will rush over, and when the people of your battalion block the bullets, the people of our battalion will rush up!"

Upon hearing this, the previous battalion suddenly said angrily: "Okay, let's see what you are talking about!"

Later, the battalion commander stood up and said, "What's wrong with what I said? Is there something wrong?" The two were arguing when they suddenly heard the sound of "clang clang" drawing a knife. They turned their heads and saw that Seeing that Xu Shan had drawn his sword in his hand, he said angrily, "Now that our army is newly defeated, you are arguing here. Beware that I will behead you two for disturbing the morale of the army!"

The two stopped talking, Xu Shan put the knife back into the sheath, and a battalion commander asked: "My lord, how do we take down the people inside? Or just let them go?"

Xu Shan said angrily: "Let it go? How can we let it go? How many people have died? Isn't it a waste of all our efforts to let them go now?"

Ying Tong said: "Then we have to come up with countermeasures!"

Xu Shan gritted his teeth fiercely, and said: "A small amount is not a gentleman, and a non-toxic is not a husband! In this way, you immediately take two hundred elite soldiers and arrest all the ordinary people hiding in the fields. They blocked bullets for us!"

A battalion commander bowed to persuade: "I'm afraid we will be discovered by the higher-ups, and we can't explain it."

Xu Shan narrowed his eyes and said viciously: "It's fine if you don't mention this matter when it's time to ask for credit. Even if you mention this matter, wouldn't it be fine to just say that those people are rioters who help Lin Ni?"

The battalion commander nodded again and again, then led two hundred elite soldiers to go, and brought back a large group of people in a short time, all of them were old and young, women and children, there were almost 1000 people.
