Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Mizutada Yamashita hurriedly turned his head and asked the artillery squadron leader: "Can we bring up another cannon?"

The artillery squadron leader looked at the frostbitten hands of the artillerymen, and said helplessly: "It's a bit difficult, and the time is too late. You see, the cannons of Lin Yuan's army have been prepared and can be fired at any time, and we will get another one." It will take more than ten hours for the artillery to come up."

Yamashita Shuizhong said helplessly: "I see that Lin Yuan's troops have a light car that can walk on rugged mountain roads. Many artillery parts are brought up by that guy. Why don't we have that kind of car?"

The artillery squadron leader spread his hands helplessly, and said, "Our artillery also wants to have those things, but if we don't have them, we have nothing to do."

Yamashita Mizutada let out a long sigh and said, "Okay, please take your men down to rest." After finishing speaking, Yamashita Mizutada called a soldier and said, "Make them something to eat."

The soldier said angrily, "What, make them something to eat, they haven't helped us with anything, and we still have to give them something to eat,"

Yamashita Mizutaka thought for a while and said, "Well, don't give them anything to eat. I'm going to deploy for battle. Treat them well."

After Yamashita Mizutada finished speaking, he walked out of the tunnel and walked to the command room. The soldier walked up to the artillery and said, "Please come with me to rest."

The artillery squadron leader said: "Don't rush to rest, we have worked all night, should we give us something to eat?"

The soldier shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, I didn't receive this order,"

As soon as the artillerymen heard this, they became angry and shouted: "We helped you work all night, and now we don't even give us a bite to eat. You don't bully people like this."

The Japanese army was originally very united, but in this situation of lack of food, everyone was thinking about themselves, so they made a noise. The subordinates of Yamashita Mizutaka simply pretended to be deaf and dumb, and let the artillery shout and scold, but they refused to give food , When it was noisy, everyone felt the ground under their feet shaking slightly, and then heard a deafening explosion coming from outside. This sound was so loud that they had almost never heard it before.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what happened, but the artillery squadron leader reacted first and said, "My God, it's the cannon of Lin Yuan's army. It's installed and ready to fire. It fired the cannonball Yes," the Japanese soldiers present were suddenly panicked.

The Japanese army guessed right. The loud noise just now was indeed made by the 155mm cannon howitzer of Lin Yuan's army.

Lu Xinghua’s artillery positions were chosen very well. Almost all the Japanese fortresses on the hillside were within the direct line of sight of the artillery, so the launcher used the scope to aim directly. After aiming at a target, the gun body was stopped, and another launcher opened the breech breech of the gun breech, ready to load the shell.

Large-caliber artillery uses separate charges. The warhead of the shell and the propellant are separated, so the warhead must be loaded into the gun chamber first, and then the propellant. For a 155mm howitzer, one shell weighs 47 kilograms. With such a heavy shell, two people are required to use the shell loader to lift the shell and then load the shell into the chamber.

Two soldiers use the shell loader to lift the shell, put it into the chamber, and then put it into the propellant bag. This artillery is a cannon howitzer, which has the characteristics of both a cannon and a howitzer. When using a small firing angle and a large charge , you can have a very straight trajectory like a cannon.

The shooter pressed the launch button, and a shell made a deafening sound, flew towards the Japanese fortress, and landed impartially in front of a fortress. The warhead was equipped with a delay fuze specially designed to deal with the fortress, and the bullet headed into the outer wall of the fortress. It penetrated a certain distance before the explosion occurred. The explosion was so violent that it directly uprooted the fortress.

The Japanese soldiers on the ground were stunned. Although it was not the first time they saw such a violent explosion, the 240mm mortar shells equipped by Lin Yuan’s troops had a larger charge than the 155mm grenades. The explosion was also more violent than it, but the Japanese army was not afraid of the 240mm mortar shells, because although that kind of shells were powerful, one was enough to destroy a fortress, but the range of impact was too large. In other words, it was a mortar shell. The shells were not accurate at all. In the previous shelling, the 240mm mortar shells even fell one kilometer away from the Japanese positions.

But today's grenade is different. It looks like it has eyes, and it hit the fort directly. The Japanese soldiers thought to themselves: "Maybe their shell hit our fort by luck. We don't have to worry about it." The illusion was quickly shattered, and another shell hit the fort directly, and the hit fort instantly turned into a flat ground in a cloud of smoke.

The commander of the Japanese fort group hurriedly reported to Mizuchu Yamashita: "Captain Yamashita, our fortress can no longer be defended. The cannons of Lin Yuan's army are too powerful. If a shell falls, our fortress will be gone."

Yamashita Mizutada hastily ordered: "Withdraw from the fort immediately and turn to the tunnel for defense." The Japanese soldiers in the fort heard this, and as if they were amnesty, they pushed open the cover door behind the fort and got out from the inside of the fort. There are trenches leading directly to the tunnel at the back, allowing Japanese soldiers to quickly withdraw to the tunnel.

As soon as the Japanese soldiers withdrew, the scouts who were watching in front of the Japanese positions soon noticed it, and they immediately reported the news to Lu Xinghua. Lu Xinghua immediately ordered the troops to rush through the Japanese fortress and attack the Japanese tunnels. The soldiers of the infantry battalion Hearing the order, he immediately rushed to the tunnel halfway up the mountain.

But as soon as he rushed to the front of the fort, there was a loud gunshot from inside the fort, and the infantry were quickly pushed back to their positions. When Lu Xinghua heard the news, he slapped the table angrily and cursed: "Okay, how dare you, little devil?" Play this trick with me, order our artillery to open a gap in the enemy's fortress group according to the predetermined plan, and the fire-breathing soldiers will attack, and wait until all the Japanese army's fortress group is destroyed before attacking,"

After ordering the 155mm howitzers, they immediately fired shells at the Japanese forts according to the predetermined plan, and quickly destroyed more than a dozen forts. Once these forts were destroyed, there were more than a dozen gaps in the Japanese forts, The fire-breathing soldiers detoured from the positions of these gaps to the outside of other fortresses, sprayed flames, and blew up the Japanese fortresses.

At [-]:[-] noon on March [-]th, after more than two hours of fighting, the Japanese army's perimeter fortifications had been cleared by Lin Yuan's troops, so Lu Xinghua reported to Lin Yuan: "Commander Lin, we have cleared the Japanese army's perimeter. Fortifications, whether to launch an attack on the Japanese army tunnels, "

Lin Yuan said without thinking, "Attack immediately and wipe out all the Japanese troops."
