Rise from the sword

Chapter 147 Infantry and Artillery

At noon, Jiazhuang.

It is a flat land about 800 meters away from the gun tower at the entrance of the village.

"The gun mount, two gun wheels, and the cradle, hurry up!"

Iwamori roared in a rough voice.

Behind him, a dozen soldiers installed the gun mounts, gun wheels, and cradles carried on the back of the big mule at the designated positions in sequence. A set of actions including digging the hoe pit took a total of more than three minutes. bell.

Watching the Pao Squad's movements, Yan Sheng nodded in satisfaction.

Although there is still a lot of improvement, it is already very good for this group of soldiers who have not taken over the Type [-] infantry artillery for five days.

"Sights, barrels."

Yansheng continued his loud voice: "Be careful, this thing is precious, don't drop it."

As the core of the whole cannon, the barrel is forged from fine steel, which is extremely hard and strong. However, Yansheng still treats it carefully because it is the most core component after all.As for the sight, this thing is the most vulnerable structure of the whole cannon, and whether it can be aimed at all depends on the optical sight equipped with the gun.Once damaged, he has no place to cry.

The installation of the gun barrel is very simple. As for the sight, just plug it in and adjust it.

Five minutes later, a Type 5 infantry gun stood on the preset artillery position.

"Ammo group!"

Yansheng waved his hand back, but his voice was still as loud as a bell.

Behind the team, five soldiers ran up with twenty shells on their backs. They took off the shells on their backs and piled them next to the gun positions, about five meters away from the infantry guns.

"aim."

Kakaka... The cradle twisted, and the barrel turned, pointing directly at the devil's gun tower. A gunner squatted behind the gun mount, put his eyes close to the optical sight, and guided the barrel to point.

"Aiming complete."

The gunner responded loudly.

"Signal, the artillery is ready."

Nodding his head, Yansheng looked at the messenger at the side.

In the sound of hunting, two red flags fluttered in the wind in the messenger's hand.

. . .

"Report, the artillery is ready."

500 meters away from the Devil's Cannon Tower, Zhang Dabiao took more than 100 people to hide behind the ditch beside the road at the entrance of the village, and the messenger who had been observing the direction of the artillery position reported to Zhang Dabiao that he had received the order.

"it is good."

Nodding his head, Zhang Dabiao's voice was heavy and powerful.

Then, he turned his head to look at the commando soldiers behind him, and shouted loudly:

"The artillery charged immediately after firing. There were more than 30 devils in the turret. There was one heavy machine gun and three light machine guns. The firepower was very strong. Pay attention to your position."

"Remember, run when the guns sound, and prepare to seek cover when the guns stop. We charge with the rhythm of the artillery."

"This time, we have artillery cover."

"Yes."

The ten commando squad leaders who were carefully observing the terrain within 500 meters ahead also responded loudly.

No need to remind, this group of veteran squad leaders who have been in the army for at least a year and a half naturally understand that if you plan before the assault, familiarize yourself with and memorize the terrain, and plan your next move, the probability of survival is much higher. There isn't that much time for you to think.

However, fortunately, infantry artillery suppressed the devils in this assault battle, which was far less dangerous than previous battles.

After exhorting, Zhang Dabiao turned his head and held up his binoculars to look at the devil's gun tower.

In the distance, Jiazhuang's blockhouses are obviously different from those a few months ago.

The outer wall, which was originally a masonry structure, has been reinforced. Although it is not a cement and steel structure, it also has an extra layer of wooden frames and mortar masonry structures. The defense is several times stronger than ordinary blockhouses.

With the power of the [-]-type infantry artillery, unless there is a continuous bombardment of [-] rounds, it is impossible to completely destroy it.

However, his goal has never been to completely blow down the devils' gun towers. That would be too cost-effective. His mission is to kill all the devils. The infantry artillery only needs to eliminate the firepower of the devils.

"our target is··"

"Go forward 200 meters."

Zhang Dabiao took out the shell gun, pulled the bolt to load the bullet, and his voice sounded like Hong Zhong: "After the assault of 200 meters, the machine gun team established a machine gun position to suppress the devils, and the rest of the troops continued to attack."

"Yes."

This time everyone roared in unison.

"Prepare."

Ka Ka Ka... A series of sounds of gun bolts being pulled, the momentum of the rear commando suddenly changed, more than 100 pairs of sharp eyes stared at the devil's gun tower in the distance, and the eyes were full of murderous intent, like a hundred cheetahs.

Amidst the sound of hunting semaphore, the artillery positions in the distance received orders.

"Cannonball."

Yansheng squatted behind the gun mount, his tone sharp.

. . .

"Taijun, Taijun, they have cannons, and the Eight Routes have cannons."

"They have cannon."

Inside the Jiazhuang blockhouse, a puppet army officer wearing a yellow leather jacket, wearing a military cap askew, and carrying a bastard box on his waist threw away his binoculars, and rushed to the devil's father on the third floor in a panic.

On the way from the second floor of the blockhouse to the third floor, he staggered and fell on the stairs. Because of the excessive force, when he got up, one of his front teeth fell off the ground.But at this moment, he didn't care about his teeth anymore, after all, a tooth was nothing compared to his life.

"Baga, what are you panicking about?"

The ghost squad leader stationed on the third floor first slapped the puppet officer's face, and his tone of reply was as harsh as ever, but the human puppet officer could still hear the panic and fear inside.

Although only a little bit, it is well hidden.

A person who can serve as an officer of the puppet army in a county is not very good at fighting and handling affairs, but isn't that a master at observing words and demeanor?
This ability is not enough, can you be the leader of the puppet army?

"Our artillery building has been strengthened, and the Eighth Route Army's shells can't penetrate it. I just called the Shou County Command. In less than an hour, reinforcements from the Imperial Army will arrive."

The tone of the devil squad leader sounded swearing and confident.

but···
The officer of the puppet army glanced at the mournful face of the communication devil next to the phone in the distance, and his heart sank to the bottom of the water.

I'm afraid the reinforcements are dead.

The puppet army officers are also very clear about the recent situation.

More than 500 devils were wiped out by the Eighth Route Army. Such a big event, even if the devils tried their best to block it, but the size of the army was reduced by more than half, how can we hide it?The news quickly spread throughout the surrounding area of ​​Shou County.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have hid in the devil's gun tower.

'I am afraid that the imperial army in Shou County did not dare to come out, for fear of an ambush by the Eighth Route Army. '

The puppet army officers quickly speculated on the cause and effect.

No, the Eighth Route Army has cannons, so we can't stay in this place any longer!
Labor and capital should not have entered in the first place.

Later, after all the traitors in the Liu family compound were wiped out by the independent regiment, the eyeballs of the high-ranking puppet officer rolled, and he planned how to escape in his heart, but it was a pity that the first floor was guarded by devils, and the door was blocked. It is obviously impossible for the puppet army with rifles to escape and retreat.

"Hi."

I was thinking about how to escape, but my mouth was obedient and obedient: "It's the humble job who panicked, I'll go down and let the brothers strengthen their defense."

A dozen or so puppet soldiers fled into the gun tower, all stationed on the second floor.

After speaking, he went to the second floor.

When the puppet army officer left, beside Captain Devil, a sergeant said in a worried tone: "Captain, these people are not imperial warriors. If the situation gets worse later, this group of people may rebel. Do you want to..."

Said, Juncao made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Without the slightest hesitation, the devil nodded slightly.

Then, he looked around, pulled out the samurai sword that he carried with him, wiped the blade with his bare hands, fierceness and madness flashed across his face:
"My lords, it's time to be loyal to the empire. See you in Kudanzaka."

"Long live His Majesty Tianhuang!"

"Long live His Majesty Tianhuang!"

More than a dozen devil soldiers were frantic and crazy: "See you in Kuduanzaka."

Order from the Shou County Command: Without reinforcements, fight to the death with the Eighth Route Army, fight to the last man, be loyal to the empire, and do not insult the glory of the imperial warriors.

After a while, there was a burst of gunshots and screams on the second floor.

Sudden.

boom···

There was a violent explosion, accompanied by the vibration of the turret. A shell hit the turret, shattering a large area of ​​the outer wall, causing rain-like debris to fall from the turret. Fortunately, the main structure of the turret has been strengthened. It is still intact, and the walls have not been blown through.

"Prepare."

The leader of the devil squad was hoarse.

A heavy machine gun and three light machine guns protruded from the firing holes.

. . .

"continue."

Before the smoke from the first shot cleared, Yan Sheng didn't look at the results of the battle, but only glanced at Zhang Dabiao's commando that was charging in the distance, and ordered to continue the shelling.

The artillery building on the opposite side was very solid, one or two shots had no effect at all, so a few more shots were needed, and his artillery had to suppress the firepower of the devils for Zhang Dabiao's commando.

boom!
Before the first shot subsides, the second shell leaps away, and the third shell has already advanced into the barrel.

In the endless smoke of explosions, the Devil's turret was like a city wall hit by a sledgehammer, collapsing piece by piece, fine debris fell like rain, and soon, billowing smoke and dust began to diffuse from the turret.

"Baga, shoot."

"shooting."

"Cannonball, hide!"

Inside the turret, the devils were in a panic. They could only watch helplessly as the commandos of the Eighth Route Army gradually approached on the flat ground at the entrance of the village, but there was nothing they could do.

It's not that the devils don't want to shoot, but that the machine gun often has just been protruded out, the trigger has just been pulled, and before five rounds are fired, one shell flies over and has to be withdrawn for concealment.

Although the shells exploded on the outer wall, the wall of the turret can barely resist the opponent's shells. Unless the two cannonballs hit one place, the wall cannot be broken. It is still very dangerous to dodge. A light machine gun shooter was seriously injured by the shells near the firing holes.

In addition, the falling debris and dust and the smoke of the explosion also seriously interfered with the shooting.

"Haha, come again."

Looking at the smoky devil's turret in the distance, Yansheng spoke cheerfully.

Although I did it several times yesterday, every time I felt extremely happy in my heart, I couldn't stop at all.

It's so cool to bombard the devils.

. .

In the devil's gun tower.

"Careful, lie down."

The fifth shell exploded at the edge of the machine gun's firing hole. Shrapnel and scorching shock waves rushed into the gun tower along the firing hole. The devils also reacted in time and fell down one after another, only causing a few injuries.

Crashing, a dense burst of broken masonry mortar fell, pouring dust on the ghosts lying on the ground.

"idiot."

"This waste blockhouse!"

Shaking the sand and gravel debris on his body, the leader of the devil squad cursed.

When it was built, in order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from getting close to blasting, the base was built very firmly, but it was never considered that it would be bombarded by the Eighth Route Army. It is also very annoying.

After the gunpowder smoke dispersed, the original shooting hole was abruptly enlarged several times by this cannon.

A big hole was opened in the turret.

Following the enlarged opening, one can see that not far away, nearly a hundred Eighth Route Army troops are rushing towards the gun tower.

"Shoot, shoot."

"Kill them."

A few crooked handles and [-] big covers poked out from the hole, and rained dense bullets on Zhang Dabiao's commando.

"Lie down."

Zhang Dabiao immediately reminded loudly.

Before he could finish his words, nearly a hundred members of the commando moved in unison from the charge state, some rolled, some leaped forward and crawled, and they all searched for cover on the spot.

Several machine gunners took advantage of the situation and fired at the devils, all in one go.

boom···

The seventh shell hit the devil's gun tower.

However, the distance of 800 meters is a bit far. This round of shells was a bit off, and it touched the outer edge of the cylindrical gun tower, which did not affect the devil's shooting.

Da da da···

The devil's bullets hit the soil around the commandos, splashing a large amount of soil and grass clippings.

Da da da···

The commando's machine guns also fired, and the dense bullets hit outside the gun tower, forcing the devils to stop shooting to avoid the bullets.

Seeing that the enemies were all concealed, the leader of the devil team winked at a devil behind him, and then the devil climbed to the top of the gun tower.

"Continue to hide on the spot, and the machine gun team establishes a machine gun position."

Taking a look at the distance, and the gun towers where the devils had been gnawed like a dog, Zhang Dabiao ordered to stop the attack and set up a machine gun position on the spot.

The devils are condescending. Although the targets are dense and the commandos focus on fire, they are covered by gun towers. Even though the gun towers are riddled with holes, they are still strong.The commandos scattered and hid behind the mounds of soil and rocks, and their firepower was stronger than that of the devils. The two sides fired at each other, and for a while, dense bullets shot across the two.

However, at a distance of more than 300 meters, the two sides rarely achieved results, and most of them were just wasting bullets.

In the rear, seeing the devil being attracted by the commando, Yansheng immediately yelled:

"Fuck, go forward 300 meters."

The shot missed just now made him very angry.

The lightweight 400-type infantry gun maneuvered extremely quickly in short distances, and the devil's attention was also attracted by the commando. In just a few minutes, he was pushed to a distance of more than [-] meters from the gun tower.

"Cannonball."

Putting down the tripod, Yansheng took the shells handed over by the ammunition hand and stuffed them into the barrel.

"Careful, grenade."

A grenade grenade flew out of the devil's turret and flew towards the prostrate and concealed commando. The sharp-eyed commando members hugged their heads and curled up to hide.

At the same time, Yan Sheng also pulled the firing rope.

At a distance of more than 400 meters, the shells flew straight into the gun tower along the blasted hole.

boom!
The turbulent explosion and gunpowder smoke gushed out, and there was a sudden silence in the devil's blockhouse.

"Come again."

"Come again."

Boom boom boom! ···One round of shells exploded in the Devil's gun tower, billowing thick smoke spread from the gun tower, after three consecutive shells, the Devil's gun tower remained silent for a long time.

"Come on!"

Outside the blockhouse, after the first shelling sounded, Zhang Dabiao rushed towards the blockhouse with the assault team.

　and also···
