I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 691 Are they artillery gods?

The fact that the Japanese army had arrived in Damai Valley was of course discovered by the sentries of the Special Forces Regiment.

So, when they were eliminating the wild wolves here, the various units of the special forces regiment were already gearing up to eliminate them.

Especially Gao Yuanzhi’s artillery battalion.

They were very familiar with the terrain of Barley Valley and had already marked numbers and corresponding shooting parameters every 100 meters in the Valley.

Therefore, when the Japanese field artillery regiment marched to a certain section of the Barley Valley, the observer lurking on the top of the mountain immediately waved the red flag in his hand to send a signal to the observer farther away.

After Gao Yuanzhi received the signal, he immediately ordered:

"Position No. 5, all artillery fire, three rapid shots!"

After receiving the order, the artillerymen scattered across the battlefield adjusted the firing parameters slightly, and then suddenly pulled the gun rope -

"Bang...bang bang bang..."

After a burst of artillery fire, 31 shells flew towards the direction of Barley Valley.

……

At this moment, the Japanese soldiers walking in the Barley Valley had no idea that the artillery battalion of the special forces regiment had already fired 31 artillery shells weighing about 12 kilograms, which were about to fall on their heads.

Judu was still shocked by the tragic scene on the battlefield in Barley Valley.

The overwhelming stench, the many bones that had been gnawed by wolves, and the wild grass that seemed to grow especially lush because of the blood, all touched their nerves.

Many of the Japanese soldiers couldn't help but feel a little scared.

They are not afraid of death, but no one of them wants to die so miserably.

Suddenly, the Japanese soldiers with sharp hearing seemed to hear a strange whistling sound coming from the sky.

He immediately raised his head and muttered:
"What's that? Sound?"

At this time, an officer with a quicker reaction shouted in fear:

"Enemy attack! Artillery fire! Get down!"

However, before the words were spoken, dense explosions resounded throughout the entire Barley Valley.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

Shrapnel flew everywhere, earth and rocks splashed, and smoke and dust rose up!
The commander of the 35th Division, Harada Yuji, was so shocked and angry that he fell off his horse and screamed:

"Infantry, hurry up, spread out to avoid the artillery fire!

Artillery, quick, return fire!"

The division chief of staff, Shirataki Rijiro, who was standing beside him, reminded him palely:

"Your Excellency, the target of the Eighth Route Army's artillery attack is our field artillery regiment!"

Upon hearing the reminder, Harada Yuji immediately raised his head and looked around.

Only then did he realize that the shell had landed right behind his main force, at the marching formation of the field artillery regiment.

At this moment, the twenty or so field guns that were originally pulled by pack horses were all blown to pieces.

The roar of pack horses, the screams of injured artillerymen, and the stern commands of artillery officers were extremely noisy.

A messy look.

Seeing this scene, Harada Yuji was furious and roared wildly:

"Baga! Why is the Tubalu's artillery fire so accurate???"

……

The accuracy of the special forces regiment's artillery battalion's shelling not only shocked Harada Yuji, but even the Japanese field artillery regiment commander Hoshino Hideaki was stunned.

——The landing points of more than 30 shells just now all fell on the mountain road, in a narrow area less than 100 meters long!

As an old artilleryman, he knew clearly how incredible this outrageous thing was! You know, just now he could roughly know by observing the flight trajectory of the artillery shells -

The Eighth Route Army’s artillery position should be at least five kilometers away!
Logically speaking, at such a long distance, various factors such as slight errors in the adjustment of artillery parameters, vibrations when firing, errors in the artillery itself, differences in the trajectory of the shell's flight, etc., will cause huge deviations in the final landing point of the shell!
He couldn't help but scream:

"How could the Tubalu's mountain artillery be able to fire so accurately from a few kilometers away?
Are they artillery gods? "

He could never imagine—

Although the artillery position of the Special Forces Regiment's artillery battalion was about 6 kilometers away from here, firing at this moment would be completely blind.

But because the gunners were all operating strictly according to the shooting parameters calculated in advance, and their artillery were all top-quality products produced by Yang Yuanshan's system, each gun was exactly the same!
So the final effect of their bombardment was so incredible!

So shocking!
This round of shelling by them just now destroyed eight field guns of the 35th Field Artillery Regiment of the Japanese!

While Hoshino Hideaki was still in a daze, the second round of bombardment from the Special Forces came again -

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

The dense sound of explosions woke him up from his confusion. He came to his senses and immediately ordered his soldiers to disperse.

They also pulled the intact artillery pieces to the surrounding areas, then quickly deployed them and began to fight back.

I have to say that the Japanese artillery is still quite elite.

Although shrapnel was flying all over the battlefield at this moment and the shock waves of explosions could easily knock over field artillery weighing more than a thousand pounds, they still worked hard to drive the mules and horses to drag the artillery to the outside of the range of the shell landing point and deploy it.

Not long after the Special Forces Regiment's artillery battalion completed three rapid shots, they successfully deployed six or seven artillery pieces.

However, after launching the artillery, the Japanese gunners did not prepare to fire immediately. Instead, they sent a squadron leader to run to ask Hoshino Hideaki with a panicked look on his face:
"Sir, we don't have an observer to indicate our position. How are we supposed to fire?"

Hoshino Hideaki slapped the squadron leader in the face and roared:
"Baga! Can't you calculate based on the trajectory of the Eighth Route Army's artillery shells?

Quick! Fight back! "

Upon hearing this order, the squadron leader was speechless and thought to himself: Isn't this just blindly firing?

Moreover, the calculated parameters also need to be corrected according to the landing point of the shell!

How to play without an observer?
What's going on? ? ?

But after being beaten, he didn't dare to argue with Hoshino Hideaki again, so he could only nod and agree.

He turned and ran towards his gun position.

I thought: If you say you want to fight me, then fight me. Whoever loves me!

As an old artilleryman, Hideaki Hoshino certainly knew the necessity of an observer. It was not that he had forgotten this, but he just couldn't take care of it just now.

At this moment, seeing that the squadron leader had gone to work, he freed up his hands and called Yoshida Takehiro, the captain of the first battalion under his command:

"Yoshida-kun, immediately take the observer up the hillside over there and indicate the direction for our artillery!
We must blow up the Eighth Route Army's mountain artillery as soon as possible!
Otherwise, what awaits us will be an unprecedented defeat!"

Yoshida Takehiro was immediately excited when he heard that he could leave this dangerous battlefield with shrapnel flying everywhere, and nodded quickly:

"Hi!"

Then he quickly called dozens of observers who were still able to run and started climbing up the ridges on both sides of the mountain road.

……

At this time, another round of artillery fire came, killing many Japanese artillerymen.

Seeing this, Hoshino Hideaki suddenly became very anxious, and estimated that if he continued to passively take the beating like this, his field artillery regiment would be completely destroyed.

He immediately yelled:

"Hurry up! Fire! Fire!"
