I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 701: This broken iron cylinder? A heavy artillery that can blow up the Japanese?
Hideaki Hoshino, the commander of the 35th Field Artillery Regiment of the Japanese Army, did not know that the only three field guns he had left had become the life-saving straw for Yusuke Harada.

He commanded his artillery to launch a frenzied bombing on the two artillery companies of the Special Forces Regiment, a total of more than 20 Type 92 infantry guns.

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

The huge explosion resounded throughout the battlefield.

Amid the explosions, the Special Forces Regiment's Type 92 infantry guns were blown over one after another.

There were also huge losses among the gunners and ammunition handlers.

Although the soldiers tried their best to drag the artillery backwards, the range of the Type 38 field gun was over 8 kilometers. Even if they drove the mules and horses all the way to Shuiquan City, they could not escape the bombing.

On Shuiquan City, Yang Yuanshan saw the soldiers of the second and fourth battalions' artillery companies, driving mules and horses and dragging artillery, being blown up by the Japanese artillery shells one after another. He immediately shouted an order:

"Quick, send someone to inform Chen Sansheng and the others to ignore those infantry guns!
If the Japs like to bomb, let them bomb!

Let the artillery retreat into the trenches first!
If there are people, there are guns!"

"Yes!"

A messenger beside him immediately received the order, then rushed down the city and rushed to the battlefield.

Han Yang saw their miserable situation and couldn't help but complain:
"Gao Yuanzhi didn't do his job properly, and he left three cannons for the Japanese!

I will criticize them later!"

Yang Yuanshan shook his head:
“Can’t blame them.

I don’t know how the Japanese got these three guns here.”

He knew very well that it was not easy to destroy an artillery regiment of the Japanese.

Gao Yuanzhi and his men were able to reduce the Japanese to only three guns, which was already an outstanding performance.

“Then we can only rely on Chu Kun and the others now.

If they fail, then I suggest that we disperse and retreat, and fight street battles with the Japanese in Shuiquan City.

Otherwise, the losses from being bombarded by field artillery would be too great."

Han Yang said with a sad face.

Seeing him like this, Yang Yuanshan quickly spoke to encourage his fighting spirit:
“Even if Chu Kun and the others fail, we don’t have to worry too much.

Didn’t the superior just send a telegram to inform you that the traffic line from Shimen to Niangziguan had been cut off by the brother troops from the Ji-Zhong Division?

So soon, the Japanese's supply will become a big problem.

The three field guns they have probably don't have much spare ammunition, so they won't be able to remain powerful for long.

Once they run out of ammunition, they will become useless.”

After hearing what he said, the worry on Han Yang's face dissipated a little and he nodded repeatedly.

He picked up the telescope and looked towards Gaojiazhai.

……

On Gaojia Ridge, the soldiers of the Third Battalion of the Independent Regiment were all amazed by the situation on the battlefield.

They have never seen anyone fight like this!
The artillery fire from both sides is free!
However, at this moment, seeing the Japanese heavy artillery blowing up the infantry artillery company of the special forces regiment and forcing them to retreat in a hurry, everyone still felt indignant and cursed the Japanese.

"Battalion Commander, the Japs' artillery is damn powerful!

What should we do if they bombard us?"

Company commander Yu Qingming couldn't help but ask Wang Huaibao with a worried look on his face.

Wang Huaibao thought to himself: How the hell can I deal with this?
The few Type 92 infantry guns and a dozen mortars that the battalion had managed to obtain were still not enough to reach the enemy!
After thinking it over carefully, he could only smile bitterly:
"What else can be done?
The soldiers could only hide in trenches and fortifications and endure it!
It’s not like we haven’t fought this kind of battle before!”

Hearing this answer, Yu Qingming was speechless.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

Look at how the special forces regiment fights, and then look at how his own regiment fights, and the gap is obvious.

At this moment, suddenly, a sentry rushed over to report to Wang Huaibao:
"Captain, there is a group of people claiming to be from the Special Forces Regiment's Guard Battalion, and they want to come up and borrow our position!"

"Borrowing a position? That's rare."

Wang Huaibao was a little confused.

Then he ordered:
"Let them come up."

He knew that if the sentry was not from our army, there was no way he would have reported to him and he would have fired a warning shot long ago.

"Yes!"

……

After a while, the sentry came up with dozens of soldiers in gray military uniforms carrying iron barrels and ammunition boxes on their shoulders.

The leader was a very young boy. When he saw Wang Huaibao, he immediately stood up and greeted him:

"Captain Wang, I am Chu Kun, the commander of the third company of the Special Forces Guard Battalion."

Wang Huaibao muttered to himself: What a young company commander!

While asking:
"Hello, comrade. The war situation is urgent. Why are you here?"

"Gaojiazhai is the commanding height in the north of Shuiquan City, only about 3 kilometers away from the Japanese artillery positions.

Our regiment commander ordered us to come here and blow up the Japanese field artillery."

Chu Kun explained.

"what?
Blow up the Japanese field artillery?
What do you guys use to fry?

Wang Huaibao and Yu Qingming next to him exclaimed almost in unison.

In fact, it’s more than just them.
The soldiers from the Third Battalion of the Independent Regiment nearby, whoever heard their conversation, all looked incredulous.

The Japanese field artillery was set up so far away, directly beyond the range of the Type 92 infantry gun. The people in front of us actually dared to say that they wanted to blow them up. Are they crazy?

Chu Kun was not at all surprised by their surprised looks. He patted the M18 recoilless gun on his shoulder and smiled:
"It's all up to us, baby!"

Wang Huaibao couldn't believe it anymore after hearing this:

"Just this broken iron barrel? Can it blow up the Japanese heavy artillery?"

Yu Qingming also interjected:
"Captain Chu, you are not kidding, right?
Even if your thing is like a mortar and can fire shells, how many kilometers can it fire?"

Chu Kun saw that the Japanese field artillery was still bombarding, and he had no interest in explaining to them, so he immediately said:

"Captain Wang, you will know whether it can be blown up after you see it.

The battle situation is urgent now. Could you please ask your men to make room for us immediately so that we can set up the artillery?
We will leave after the fight and will not delay your defense here."

"no problem!

Yu Qingming, tell the soldiers to make room for the comrades from the Special Forces Regiment!"

Wang Huaibao also wanted to see this Western scene, so he agreed immediately.

Arrange now.

"Yes!"

Yu Qingming agreed.

He commanded the soldiers to give up the position.

Chu Kun did not delay and gave a loud order:
"Quick, everyone disperse and set up their artillery!
Estimate distance and prepare to fire! "

"Yes!"

The soldiers of the third company shouted in unison.

Then the arrangements began in full swing.

Wang Huaibao, Yu Qingming and other members of the independent regiment retreated to the side and watched them place the iron cylinder on tripods, then began to load shells and adjust the angle.

Everyone couldn't help but look suspicious.

Yu Qingming asked Wang Huaibao in a low voice:
"Captain, are these things really cannons?
Isn't this too simple?
It looks like a broken iron tube!
It’s fucking translucent from front to back!”

Wang Huaibao shook his head slightly and replied in a low voice:

"Don't talk nonsense, just wait and see.

"Captain Yang of the Special Forces is not an ordinary person, he will definitely not do anything stupid!"

……

The preparation for the M18 57mm recoilless rifle's bombardment was extremely simple. It took less than two minutes for all the soldiers of the third company to be ready.

48 guns have been loaded with shells and are waiting to fire.

The gunners immediately reported to Chu Kun:

"Captain, get ready!"

At this moment, Chu Kun was personally operating a cannon and had also adjusted the firing parameters.

After hearing their words, I immediately confessed:
“This bombardment is different from our previous bombardment where we didn’t seek the effect but just fired.

Gunners, you must observe the direction and angle according to where the shells land, then adjust the parameters and fire a second time as soon as possible, understand?"

"understand!"

The soldiers roared in unison.

"Then fire!
Send the Japanese field artillery back home!"

Chu Kun roared, then pulled the trigger in his hand!
