Anti-Japanese sniper action

Chapter 285 Can You Hit the Devil's Cannon
Yijiang Gate is the rear gate of Nanjing Ming City Wall, located in the northwest section of the city wall in Gulou District, NJ City, between two mountains.

At this time, on the tower of Yijiang Gate, Xiao Yushan and a group of officers stood here to observe the enemy's situation.

Although everyone heard Zhao Zilong say that there are two wings of devils coming, but now when they saw a large group of khaki-colored people about one or two kilometers away in the distance, they couldn't help showing a slightly nervous look.

"Everyone, prepare for the battle." Xiao Lingshan frowned and shouted at everyone.

The regimental and battalion commanders who stayed behind to assist in the battle immediately dispersed to command their own troops.

"Battalion Commander Wang! Are those two infantry cannons in your battalion still usable?" When Wang Zhong was about to leave, Xiao Lingshan stopped him.

"Huh?" Wang Zhong was at a loss for words for a moment.

He has been busy directing everyone to repair the fortifications, and he didn't bother to look.But he remembered that Zhao Zilong was inspecting the infantry artillery together with Zhang Long and Zhang Hu, so he immediately pointed to Zhao Zilong in the distance and shouted: "Brother! Come here."

Zhao Zilong was contemplating what method to use to disrupt the devil's attack, he ran over immediately after hearing the call: "Brother Wang! What's the matter?"

"Did you know those two infantry guns are still usable?"

"There was a small problem before, but it has been fixed now."

"As long as it works." Xiao Lingshan frowned, and immediately said: "Battlemaster Wang! While the devils are gathering, you ask them to shoot the devils a few shots, how about it?"

"Okay." Looking at the groups of devils, Wang Zhong's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately.

"Wait." When Wang Zhong turned to run, Zhao Zilong suddenly reached out and grabbed him.

"What's the matter?" Wang Zhong paused and questioned.

Xiao Lingshan also looked over in surprise.

Zhao Zilong frowned, he had been sensing the movements of those devils before.

Just now, through the [-]x monocular, he clearly saw two teams lined up with infantry guns behind the devil team.After counting, there are a total of sixteen gates.

Seeing those ghost gunners adjusting the muzzle and the ghost gunners nervously moving the shells, Zhao Zilong's expression changed suddenly, and he immediately shouted: "Commander Xiao! The devils are now concentrating their cannons to bomb our side, you order everyone to back off .”

The maximum range of the Type 2788 infantry artillery can reach [-] meters.

Now everyone is within the bombardment range of the cannon, so Zhao Zilong has to ask everyone to back up to avoid it.

Xiao Lingshan also picked up the binoculars and looked at the situation in the distance.

Although he only had a quadruple telescope and couldn't see that clearly, he could still see the actions of the two teams of devils.

He saw that these ghost artillerymen were very arrogant, and they even lined up artillery formations on Zhongshan Avenue, completely ignoring them.

Xiao Lingshan immediately gave orders to those regiment and battalion commanders, asking them to lead the team to retreat.

As soon as they heard that the devils were about to bombard them with cannons, except for a few soldiers standing firm on the city wall, the rest quickly hid behind the two hills or retreated in the direction of the lower pier.

The crowd on the other side of the Xiaguan pier, after hearing the order, followed everyone and retreated.

"Yijiangmen is about two kilometers away from Xiaguan Wharf. How can the devil's cannons hit here?" A regiment leader said indifferently after hearing the order.This person did not participate in the previous anti-siege Okamoto unit operation.

"That's right." Others immediately echoed.

These national troops who had not participated in the war before, they didn't quite believe it. Seeing everyone leaving, they thought they could go across the river quickly.

bang bang...

In less than half a quarter of an hour, there was continuous cannon fire outside the city gate.

Immediately, shells flew into the sky one after another and landed on the city wall of Yijiangmen to the side of Xiaguan Wharf.

boom boom boom...

With the explosions one after another, clouds of gunpowder smoke rose from the ground, covering the earth.

There were about three or four thousand national troops who stayed at the pier, and they were immediately blown down by a few shells that fell here.

The head of the regiment, who was always self-righteous and disobedient to orders, was not killed by the bomb, but was hit by shrapnel in the thigh and fell to the ground, unable to scream in pain.

The others were suddenly panicked and fled to the back.

As for those national troops who obeyed the order, thanks to Zhao Zilong's reminder, everyone avoided it, so no one was injured.

Except for some gendarmes who had to stick to the walls of Yijiangmen, a few people were unlucky enough to be hit by shells or scratched by shrapnel, the vast majority of the national army brothers and gendarmes were safe and sound.

Looking at the shells falling from the sky, Zhao Zilong, who was with Zhang Long and Zhang Hu, frowned even tighter.

They have moved two 400-type infantry artillery to the entrance of a small cave [-] meters away from Yijiang Gate.Here, although the situation outside the city gate cannot be seen, there is a thick layer of mud above the entrance of the cave, so even if a devil's shell falls on it, it will not be affected.

"Zhang Long! Can you hit the devil's cannon?" At this moment, Wang Zhong ran over and asked.

"I can't see outside." Zhang Long shook his head and said, "Unless the cannon is moved out of the hole."

Looking at the shells falling from time to time on the ground outside the entrance of the cave, Wang Zhong's expression turned ugly.Then, he looked at Zhao Zilong who was resting with his eyes closed: "Brother! Is there any way?"

"I'll try." Zhao Zilong didn't open his eyes, just nodded, and immediately sensed the distance.

Because the devils kept firing cannons very loudly, he could easily sense the exact location of those devils' artillery.

"Little Tiger! Big Brother Zhang! The distance is 1000 and [-] meters, and the direction is XXX. The Devil Artillery is at that place." Zhao Zilong immediately opened his eyes and shouted.

Zhang Long and Zhang Hu hurriedly turned the cannon shaft to adjust the direction of the muzzle, while the other two gunners picked up a shell each.

Zhang Hu first adjusted the direction of the muzzle, and when he saw that the cannonball was loaded, he immediately grabbed the cannon rope and pulled it suddenly.

boom!
A black round shell shot out.

Zhang Long here also pulled the cannon rope.
-
"Baga! Hurry up and blow up those Chinese soldiers."

At this time, on the devil's artillery position outside Yijiangmen, a fat captain of the devil's artillery was constantly urging his men to fire.

Through the binoculars, he saw clouds of black smoke rising from the city wall in the distance, and he felt extremely happy.

Suddenly, he saw two groups of small black shadows flying out from there one after another, and couldn't help but startled.Because there were so many explosions there, he didn't hear the sound of cannon firing.

"Mom! When the two black shadows flew close, he saw that it was a cannonball, and his face turned pale with fright, and he let out a cry of grief.

Boom!Boom!
One shell fell in the middle of the sixteen infantry guns, the other fell on the far left edge.

After two explosions, three infantry cannons were blown to pieces, and several artillerymen around them were already bloody and fell to the ground, unable to move any more.

Although the Devil Artillery separated each infantry cannon by about ten meters, the other people were not affected, but they were frightened and panicked, and stopped their movements for a while.
