Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

The soldiers under Liu Biao couldn't believe their ears, and they all thought to themselves: "What order did the Xietong just give? Run back, isn't that running back? Isn't that an escape! If you run away, beheading is fine!"

The soldiers all thought that they had heard it wrong, and they stood where they were, neither advancing nor retreating. At this moment, Liu Biao turned his head first and ran to the back.

Although the soldiers were Zhang Er's King Kong, they couldn't figure it out, but when they saw Master Xie Tong who had always been strict in running the army and liked to take the lead, they all ran to the back and followed suit.

It turned out that Liu Biao's escape was part of Lin Yuan's strategy, and the bugle sound that no one understood just now was the secret signal agreed between Lin Yuan and Liu Biao.

The reason why Lin Yuan sent this signal was because he found through the telescope that the Japanese army on the opposite high ground had already pushed the artillery out of the tunnel. In order to let the shrapnel play a greater lethal effect, the Japanese army specially waited until the Qing army approached. The cannons were pushed out only when the guns were over. Liu Dart's charge was just to draw out the Japanese artillery.

Lin Yuan immediately issued a second order: the artillery battalion fired at the intended target.

The artillery of the Dingwu Army uses a pull-fired firing pin. When the gunner fires the shell, he only needs to pull the cowhide rope on the cannon. The shell whizzes away, raising a cloud of smoke. The ammunition cartridge fell out of the barrel, and an ammunition hand moved the cartridge aside with thick gloves, and then another ammunition hand reloaded a shell.

Although the artillery of this era does not have the gas-hydraulic recoil brake, recoil machine, and recoil brake of modern artillery, it is also equipped with a relatively simple elastic gun mount, and its performance is much higher than that of rigid gun mounts. , so the artillery did not produce a huge recoil displacement, the gunner simply re-aimed and fired again.

The gunner yelled while pulling the rope: "The position given by Commander Lin is aimed at the top of the head of the Japanese. Can you hit it?"

The observer held the telescope in his hand and said, "What are you in a hurry for? Am I watching?"

When the observer saw the Japanese positions, he immediately understood why Lin Yuan gave those strange orders.

Observers saw from the telescope that the shell with the delayed fuze did not explode the moment it touched the mountain, but was embedded in the mountain, and then the explosives in the shell were detonated.There are many types of mountains. In layman’s terms, there are earth mountains or stone mountains. The highland where the Japanese army was located happened to be stone mountains. The huge explosion shattered the stones of the mountain. Like a Japanese knife, it stabbed the Japanese army's position!

If it was rubble from another location, it would not be able to hit the Japanese army when it fell, but the shooting position designated by Lin Yuan was carefully calculated by him, and the falling rubble just hit the top of the Japanese army!

In this way, it is equivalent to hundreds of shrapnel shells exploding on the heads of the Japanese army!

The artillery positions of the Japanese army were the first to bear the brunt. The artillery commander had his head cut off in the first wave of gravel rain, and the ammunition hand was beaten like a sieve. The position was full of blood and stumps for a while, and several large rocks It hit the gun barrel, smashing the barrel alive from the gun mount, and others hurriedly hid in the tunnel. For the Japanese army, the only luck was: the picric acid explosives loaded in the Japanese artillery shells and used to launch The nitroglycerin explosives of the drug are very stable and did not explode under such impact.

The observer shouted happily: "Shuai Lin's order is too correct!" He just finished shouting, another order from Lin Yuan came, and the shooting position moved down 17 meters.

The observer also understood Lin Yuan's purpose. He wanted to use the gravel to attack the Japanese infantry position at the bottom of the mountain!

While commanding the artillery, Lin Yuan was also mobilizing the infantry. He ordered the infantry to advance towards the Japanese positions. One standard of the Dingwu Army had three battalions, and each battalion had four teams in front, left, right, and rear. The infantry was divided into four groups: The two groups attacked the Japanese positions on the two high grounds respectively.

The infantry advanced to 200 meters and stopped. From this distance, they could see the stormy gravel sweeping the Japanese soldiers in the trenches on the Japanese positions. The bodies of the Japanese soldiers were smashed to pieces in this crazy stone rain!

Each team of infantry is equipped with four Maxim machine guns. These machine guns are mounted on the flanks to support the infantry's impact. Lin Yuan ordered the infantry to attack. The Japanese army's position was built about ten meters above the ground, which was a steep slope. There are very few places where you can attack on foot. If Lin Yuan didn't use gravel to attack, he might not be able to defeat hundreds of people if he attacked by force.

The soldiers of the Dingwu Army quickly entered the trenches. The Japanese soldiers had already hid in the tunnels in order to avoid the gravel. Their resistance vanished like dewdrops in the sun in the face of their superior force.

Lin Yuan pushed the command post to a distance of 600 meters from the Japanese position. From this distance, he could clearly see the progress of the battle on the high ground. From the binoculars, Lin Yuan clearly saw that the Dingwu Army had basically occupied the periphery of the tunnel. the trenches.

Lin Yuan began to think about whether to enter the tunnel to attack the Japanese army inside. He asked Fade Chen beside him: "During your early reconnaissance, how did you reconnaissance the situation in the Japanese army tunnel?"

Chen Fei said: "The situation of reconnaissance is basically zero. All we can do is to analyze the situation inside the Japanese army's tunnels according to the basic principles of tunnel excavation."

Lin Yuan asked: "Did the Japanese army dig the tunnels by themselves? Didn't the Japanese army hire local people to work?"

Fade Chen sighed, and said: "We went to the nearby villages to ask. The Japanese did arrest a lot of people to work in the nearby villages, but none of these people came back. In order to prevent the structure of the tunnel from being known to outsiders, the Japanese probably Killed them all."

Lin Yuan nodded and said: "I don't know what the structure of the Japanese tunnel is like. If the Japanese rely on the tunnel to resist, it is very likely to cause heavy casualties to us. Although casualties on the battlefield are inevitable, but for such a A tunnel, people who lose too much are not worth it."

Fade Chen said: "That's true. The situation inside may be extremely complicated. You can't know whether there are traps or booby traps hidden in the next turn. Even if I take the marines on the Beijing ship to go in, it will take a lot of effort." Large casualties may not necessarily be able to knock down the tunnels in the mountains."

Lin Yuan thought for a moment, then gave the order to stop the attack.

After a while, Liu Biao came back in a hurry, and Lin Yuan quickly asked: "How is the battle going? Are there many casualties?"

Liu Biao shouted loudly, "Shuai Lin, we have already controlled all the outer trenches, and we can enter the cave in just a moment. Why did you give the order to stop the attack?"

Lin Yuan said: "The situation of the tunnel is unknown, so it is definitely unwise to attack rashly."

Liu Biao said: "Shuai Lin, isn't it just a cave? The Japanese can still play with flowers in it! I will take people in, and within an hour, I can take out the Japanese eggs inside!"

"Ovum" means testicles, Fade Chen couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard what Liu Biao said so vulgarly.

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "There is no need to do this. If my judgment is correct, the Japanese will give us the tunnel soon!"
