Chapter 155 Cannon Swarm

() The cannon group started with the big movement of all the landing craft. At five o'clock, the 130mm cannon group deployed in Baifeng Town also began to bombard Zhoushan Dadao.

At the artillery position in Baifeng Town, the 130mm caliber cannon roared and sprayed out a meter-long bright red flame and gray-yellow gunpowder smoke from the 7-meter-long barrel.The 6mm cannons distributed in 144 positions with a total of 130 are like wild horses just waking up in the morning. First, the horses are excited sporadically, snorting like thunder to get rid of the blur of night, and then the horses collectively mobilize , until the movement became louder and louder—the horses began to run—the earth shook.

These six artillery positions have sporadically tested and calibrated from the beginning, and the firing frequency has been continuously accelerated until they reach the highest frequency of 8 rounds per minute.In addition to the bombardment calibration optical observation posts on both sides of the position and at the rear, the artillery group is in charge of the calibration work today, and there is also the radio contact calibration of the fifth bomber, which has already taken off and hovered on the big island of Zhoushan.

As the cannon cluster started this increasingly intense warm-up exercise, violent explosions and flames began to rise on the island, mushroom clouds that swelled from small to large, and changed from black to white rose up on the island Soar into the sky.

Our East China Air Force has thoroughly grasped Zhoushan Dadao from the air through continuous aerial reconnaissance. A round of 130mm caliber shells weighing [-] kilograms screamed and landed on the target area. The machine gun positions and artillery formations on Zhoushan Dadao The position, the artillery position on the mountainside, the garrison field...all were awakened!

The cooks of the Kuomintang army had just gotten up at this time, and the soldiers hadn't had breakfast yet.The sudden explosion woke up all the garrison on Zhoushan Island.

After the soldiers guarding the machine gun position on the beachhead were awakened, they shivered in groups of three or five in the sandbag fortification.

"Brother, is the army bombing in the air force or firing guns?" A soldier asked loudly in fear.

A veteran next to him obviously had some experience. He lay on the ground line inside the sandbag and shouted loudly: "Didn't you hear that howling sound like a ghost! It's a gun!"

A soldier lying on his side and hunched over joined in and shouted, "Where did the Gong army fire the guns? How could they shoot so far!"

The veteran was waiting for an answer. Amid the more and more intensive cannon shots every second, a 130mm caliber cannonball roared and landed a few meters in front of the sandbag bunker. After the smoke passed, the one-meter-high and half-meter-thick sandbag fortifications disappeared, or in other words, the ground was completely broken, and the three bloody and fleshy corpses were torn apart by fire.

The damage radius of the 130mm cannon's anti-explosive grenade is 30 meters. Anyone who is familiar with artillery knows that the damage radius is an absolute range. In fact, if you stand 100 meters away, once you are hit by the shrapnel of this shell, you will still be killed on the spot. .So what is the damage radius?To put it bluntly, as long as you are in this area, there is no possibility of survival, and it is impossible for you to be injured without dying.If the bunkers within this damage radius were not made of solid reinforced concrete, they would be equivalent to having no bunkers, and dense blasting shrapnel and killing steel balls would penetrate those weak bunkers.

A good way here is to dig trenches, but recently it has been raining continuously. After the heavy rain, it will be moderate rain, and after the moderate rain, it will be light rain. When it doesn’t stop, the water in Jiang Jun’s trench is almost up to his knees, and the beachhead The position did not dig a trench at all, all pointing to the one-meter-high sandbag defense.

This kind of situation kept repeating, the machine gun positions were beaten to pieces, and the defenders on night duty in the beachhead fortifications were killed and injured countless times.

As the cannon clusters bombarded the densely populated area of ​​​​the garrison in the Zhoujiayuan area, the worst casualties of the Kuomintang army began to appear.The Zhoujiayuan area is close to the Jintang Waterway, 3 kilometers across the bank is the Ningbo Wharf. The beach is long and gentle. Shi Jue and Lao Jiang attach great importance to this place. They have deployed more than [-] troops here, preparing to use human sea tactics to drown it in one fell swoop. Troops landed from here.

The area of ​​twelve square kilometers was closely guarded by more than 3 troops, so that the bombardment was almost flawless, and countless unjust dead ghosts were sent to the west.Especially for the bombardment aimed at the densely populated area of ​​the garrison, there are not many living people in an area almost half the size of a football field. As for the radius of 30 meters from the center of the explosion, it has become the center of death, and even a slightly complete corpse I can't find them.A shell landed in a densely packed camp area, often killing seven to eighty people.

The soldiers of the Jiang army rushed out of their tents after hearing the shelling. They crowded around the camp in a mess, packing up their equipment. Suddenly, a row of shells came down, blowing out a road long and wide in ruins, covered with broken limbs and flesh. Blood flowed like a river.Accompanied by rows of artillery fire, rumbling explosions, and cries and cries, this place has become a hell on earth.

These Jiang Jun soldiers who had just woken up began to bomb the camp, running around in all directions, and a large number of soldiers rushed towards the mountains to the north.Most of the officers had no desire to restrain the troops at all, and fled up the mountain with the soldiers.

The police guards of Lao Shenghuan, commander of Jiang Jun's 45th Division, cried and shouted: "Master, shall we run?"

"Nonsense, I'm here to counter the landing, not the artillery shells. Get back quickly! Go up the mountain!"

In the artillery positions on the hillside, the defenders had already begun to waver. They could see clearly from the hillside that the fiery red explosions appeared one after another at the foot of the hill, and they fought accurately and methodically.

Qiu Changsheng, who was guarding on the mountainside, was in charge of an American-made 105mm howitzer here, and his task was to blockade the beach with artillery fire.Immediately after hearing the shelling, he climbed out of his tent on the mountain and ran into the gun emplacement.

Qiu Changsheng was so startled by the shelling that he lost his confusion after getting up in the morning. Excitement and fear intertwined and hit his nerves. He counted the density of shelling down the mountain with an empty stomach, and his calves began to tremble.

"Company commander, the army's artillery fire is so fierce!"

Qiu Changsheng squinted and shouted hoarsely amidst the rumbling guns: "It's over, I can't hold it! You can see that this row of 12 guns is extending at a distance of 100 meters, which means that the bombardment of the Gong army came from across the sea. Yes, this must be a cannon with a range of 30 kilometers!"

At that time in China, guns with a caliber of more than 100mm were regarded as heavenly soldiers, and many soldiers called them giant guns.Hearing what Qiu Changsheng said, the soldier became even more frightened, and asked, "Company commander, will we be bombarded on the mountain?"

Qiu Changsheng didn't know what to do, so he continued to talk to relieve his fear and pressure: "The platoons of 12 cannons are bombarding everywhere. With this kind of shelling density, I think there are at least ten teams of 100 giant cannons in the supply army! No, it may be two hundred doors! If this continues, there is no need to land, as long as there are enough shells, if we keep bombing, we will all die here..."

The Kuomintang soldiers on the battery were frightened when they heard what he said, and they asked one after another: "Company commander, why don't the troops land and just keep bombing like this?"

Qiu Changsheng was also asking himself the same question, when did Gongjun become so rich and powerful, don't all the artillery fire all over the place need money?It's been almost half an hour since the bombardment, haven't the landing troops appeared yet? "

Because of the rain, the sky turned dark and white at this time, and the crazy artillery fire shrouded the island like terrifying ghosts and gods.Qiu Changsheng couldn't see what was going on at sea.He reckoned that the heavy artillery fire everywhere at the bottom of the mountain was so blasted that at least more than 5000 people were killed and injured. The fighting has not started yet, and there is no shadow of the enemy. They have already lost so much, so how can they fight?

The most important point is that Qiu Changsheng discovered that the shelling at the foot of the mountain were all fortifications and bunkers built by the troops after they fled to Zhoushan, as well as the stronghold camps of various troops.He felt more and more that something was wrong. Did the army have a detailed deployment plan?According to this speed of roll call, isn't it going to start blasting the mountain next?

As if to verify his conjecture, the shelling began to extend to the foot of the mountain. Qiu Changsheng got the inspiration from nowhere and shouted, "Brothers, run!"

After finishing speaking, he was the first to climb up the mountain quickly. He knew that as long as he climbed over the mountain, he would be safe.
