Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 247: Kill a general with one shot, I am the God of Cannon!

Deputy Commander Han sighed helplessly and said, "It's really not a good feeling to watch the enemy escape without being able to do anything about it."

"gone!"

Deputy Commander Han became angrier and angrier the more he looked at it. He was too lazy to look at it anymore and turned around to leave.

At this moment, a shell quickly streaked across the night sky and fell towards the Han River Bridge like a meteor.

"Boom~!"

A violent explosion was heard, and a heavy tank on the bridge was directly blown into scrap metal.

The flames generated by the explosion instantly engulfed dozens of enemies around them and tore them into pieces.

Dozens of others were blown away by the shock wave and fell from the bridge.

Due to the distance, Deputy Commander Han did not hear the explosion, but he still caught a glimpse of the rising flames out of the corner of his eye.

Deputy Commander Han turned around suddenly and was also extremely surprised to see this scene.

"what happened?"

The people present did not see the shells flying over and hitting the bridge, they only saw the explosion on the bridge.

A staff officer frowned and said, "Could it be that their truck exploded?"

Deputy Commander Han raised the telescope again and carefully observed the situation on the bridge.

The explosion site was in ruins and the crowded crowd on the bridge was in chaos.

Not long after, another shell flew over and hit the bridge accurately from the side.

"Boom~!"

A violent explosion sounded, and the crowd crowded near the explosion was immediately blown away.

Even a jeep was blown off the bridge.

Thick black smoke rose into the sky, and a gap was blown in the bridge deck.

"It's heavy artillery!"

Deputy Commander Han was ecstatic.

"Is this our heavy artillery?"

"It should be our heavy artillery, otherwise how could we blow up the enemy."

"Go check immediately to find out who did it."

At this moment, another artillery shell quickly cut through the night sky and accurately hit the bridge. A violent explosion sounded, and the enemy troops on the bridge were killed or wounded.

Then another shell fell near the bridgehead, among the crowded crowd.

"Boom~!"

A violent explosion sounded, and a large number of the crowded crowd were instantly blown down, causing heavy casualties.

"This should be a 155-caliber heavy artillery! Otherwise, it wouldn't be so powerful."

"Chief, they are in the east."

Deputy Commander Han quickly looked to the east. At this time, the shells became more frequent, flying towards the Han River Bridge one after another.

Violent explosions continued to sound, and every shell hit the target accurately.

Deputy Commander Han was ecstatic, dancing and shouting: "Good fight! It was really a great fight."

"Judging from the density of firepower, there are four heavy artillery pieces."

"Keep bombing, bomb these bastards to death."

But the distance was too far, and they couldn't observe the situation at the artillery position, and now they didn't know who was firing.

"Commander, these artillerymen are so powerful!"

"This is too accurate. The test shot hit the target directly."

Judging from the current situation, there should be four heavy artillery pieces, but at the beginning, the density of the shelling was not high, with one shot fired after a while, which was obviously a test firing.

However, even though they were test shots, they all hit the target accurately.

Such precision is truly amazing.

Deputy Commander Han said: "It's amazing how accurate the shot is!"

"Check for me immediately, which unit it is!"

A staff officer replied: "According to what we learned before, there are no artillery units nearby."

"This should be a troop that just arrived. Their identities cannot be confirmed yet."

"We will immediately send a telegram to the 39th Army, the 50th Army, and the 38th Army for verification. We should be able to find out the unit's number soon."

Looking at the enemy in chaos and the Han River Bridge being hit by artillery shells one after another, Deputy Commander Han was extremely happy.

"Keep on bombing them hard, bomb these bastards to death."

At this moment, a large number of enemy troops were crowded near the bridge, preparing to cross the bridge. The bridge was also crowded with enemies, and undoubtedly became the best target for artillery.

With this shot, there will be a large number of enemies.

The power of the heavy artillery was exerted to the extreme at this moment.

The force that bombarded the Han River Bridge was naturally the task force led by Li Guotao.

After Li Guotao and his men seized the four self-propelled artillery pieces, they immediately drove the four heavy artillery pieces and pulled several trucks of artillery shells towards the Han River Bridge.

Because Li Guotao had already anticipated the situation on the Han River Bridge at the moment, he led this troop and infiltrated all the way here.

They arrived at the northeast of the Han River Bridge, about ten kilometers away from the bridge. The terrain here was open and unobstructed, which was perfect for directly bombarding the Han River Bridge.

Li Guotao immediately ordered the soldiers to arrange all four cannons, and Li Guotao personally adjusted the parameters.

With Li Guotao's full-level heavy artillery skills and superb artillery level, he quickly adjusted all the parameters and then began to bombard the Han River Bridge.

This is what happened just now.

Li Guotao was also very excited at this moment, and shouted loudly: "Keep firing, bombard him hard!"

Captain Cao was also very excited and shouted loudly: "Well done, blow up these beasts."

Li Moyin was also surprised, because he did not expect that Li Guotao was so powerful. Not only was he good at fighting, but his artillery level was also very high. In Li Moyin's opinion, even professional artillerymen could not have such a level.

Captain Cao said excitedly: "Commander, your task force is really full of talented people. Li Guotao is really amazing. Today I have opened my eyes."

"Haha~!"

Li Moyin smiled and said, "Not only you have opened your eyes, but I have opened my eyes too."

"what?"

Captain Cao couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Li Moyin explained: "I didn't know this kid was so good at using cannons!"

"To be honest, most of the members of the task force were put together temporarily. There are indeed many capable combat backbones transferred from various units, but there is probably only one person like Li Guotao."

"This guy is such an all-round talent. It seems like there is nothing he can't do."

Captain Cao exclaimed: "This guy is simply a genius!"

As Captain Cao spoke, he looked with admiration at Li Guotao, who was directing the soldiers to fire artillery not far away. His eyes were full of admiration.

……

At this moment, the enemy troops that were under bombardment were in chaos. The scene was in chaos and some of the crowded people were even trampled.

The bridge and the road were crowded with people and various vehicles. Because there were too many people, they were running around everywhere, and the vehicles that were originally moving all stopped and could not move at all.

Some drivers were so scared that they abandoned their cars and fled in all directions. Brigadier General Palmer shouted loudly: "Military police, maintain order immediately and evacuate in an orderly manner."

However, there was no effect at all, and the situation was gradually getting out of control.

Brigadier General Palmer was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He turned his head to look at the direction where the shells were coming from and shouted loudly: "Notify the artillery unit immediately, organize a counterattack, and destroy those heavy artillery for me!"

The enemy troops were in chaos and orders could not be conveyed accurately.

"Mobilize the troops immediately, attack eastward along the river bank, and destroy this enemy force for me."

"Yes sir!"

Anxious Brigadier General Palmer issued a series of orders, but it seemed to be of no use.

The enemy was in chaos, and shells continued to fall among their crowd.

Brigadier General Palmer also stood on a jeep at the bridge head, shouting loudly, trying to stop the chaotic crowd.

"Chirp~!"

A sharp whistling sound was heard, and a shell suddenly flew over and landed near the bridge head.

"Boom~!"

A violent explosion sounded, a burst of fire rose into the sky, and the raging shock wave instantly tore all the surrounding enemies into pieces.

The flying debris also caused casualties among the surrounding enemies.

The shock wave, carrying shrapnel with it, came towards him and blew Brigadier General Palmer off the jeep. A shrapnel hit Brigadier General Palmer in the face. The old man groaned and died on the spot.

General Ridgway, who had already crossed the Han River Bridge but had not walked far, immediately climbed to a high ground by the river after learning of this situation.

He observed the situation through a telescope and couldn't help cursing, "Fuck, where did these heavy artillery come from?"

Ridgway was very clear that under the heavy bombing of their planes, even if the volunteers could keep the heavy artillery, it would be impossible to transport them to the front line so quickly.

A staff officer nearby replied: "According to my humble judgment, these heavy artillery should be our 155 caliber cannons."

"It may be that the enemy captured our artillery and bombarded the Han River Bridge."

"The enemy's shelling caused us considerable losses. Most importantly, their shelling caused chaos and damaged the bridge deck, which would seriously affect our army's retreat plan."

How could Ridgway not have thought of this? He gritted his teeth and roared, "Notify the nearby night planes immediately and blow up those heavy artillery for me."

"Yes sir!"

It was night time and most of the enemy's planes could not take off, but the enemy already had night-flying bombers.

However, in order to slow down the Volunteer Army's pursuit, most of these planes were sent to bomb the Volunteer Army's main force.

Therefore, there were no enemy night flights near the Han River Bridge, which gave Li Guotao an opportunity.

Ridgway was also careless for a moment, thinking that there was no possibility of being bombarded. As long as the traffic order was maintained, they could retreat to the south bank of the Han River in an orderly manner. It would just take some time. After all, there were more than 100,000 troops and a large amount of heavy equipment.

However, he never dreamed that the variable Li Guotao would appear.

Li Guotao and his men were lucky enough to seize several self-propelled artillery pieces on the way, and they disguised themselves as enemies all the way, following the enemy's fleeing soldiers and directly chasing them to the Han River Bridge.

On an open space on the north bank of the Han River, a US heavy artillery battalion was gathering, preparing to cross the bridge.

After the bridge was bombarded, the heavy artillery battalion also fell into chaos, but it was still some distance away from the bridge.

Under the command of the battalion commander, the chaos was quickly quelled.

The battalion commander shouted, "Build a position right here, aim at those enemy guns, and destroy them."

This artillery battalion commander had a good sense of the overall situation. Although he had not received any orders at the time, he had already begun organizing a counterattack.

The enemy artillerymen immediately unloaded the cannons towed from the back of the trucks and looked for a suitable location nearby to build gun positions.

The battalion commander urged loudly: "Hurry up~!"

“Speed ​​up~!”

Soon all the parameters of a cannon were adjusted.

"One test shot!"

"Fire!"

"Boom~!"

A dull cannon shot was heard, and the shell flew out of the barrel with a sharp whistling sound, flying quickly towards the northeast.

"Boom!" The shell fell into the Han River and exploded with a loud bang, creating a large splash of water.

Li Guotao immediately turned his head and looked in the direction where the shell came from.

After a while, the enemy fired again, and this time the shells fell on the shore about 500 meters away from Li Guotao and his men.

Through this shot, Li Guotao quickly locked the specific position of the enemy artillery.

Without saying a word, Li Guotao immediately operated a 155 cannon and aimed at the enemy artillery position in the distance.

"Play with me!"

"Today I will teach you how to use cannons!"

"Load!"

"Fire~!"

"Boom~!"

As a dull cannon sounded, the shell flew quickly towards the enemy's artillery position with a sharp whistle.

This time the enemy's artillery has adjusted all the parameters again. If everything goes well this time, the shells should fall near Li Guotao and his men.

No one can tell how far the distance is.

After all, it was too dark and the distance was far, so the enemy's artillery could not grasp the direction very accurately.

However, just as the enemy had loaded their artillery shells, a shell landed accurately on their position.

"Boom~!"

There was a loud explosion, and the enemy artillery was blown over, even the gun was blown to the ground.

All the enemy artillerymen present were stunned.

The enemy's artillery is so accurate, don't they even need to test fire it?

Is this a human being?

As professional artillerymen, they understand artillery, so they know better how difficult it is to do this.

It must be a guess!
No human could hit the target so accurately!
Li Guotao secretly said: "I am the God of Artillery!"

"Three shots in a row!"

Following Li Guotao's order, the cannon aimed at the enemy's artillery position fired three more shots in that direction.

The other three artillery pieces continued to bombard the Han River Bridge.

At the distant artillery position, the enemy battalion commander shouted loudly: "Don't panic, return to the artillery position and fire back."

A group of enemies began to operate another cannon, adjusting it according to the parameters just now, and preparing to fire.

At this time, another shell fell.

A violent explosion sounded, and another large group of artillerymen were blown to the ground, and several running guns were destroyed.

Because they had originally gathered here to prepare to cross the bridge, the personnel were densely packed together, and in such a hurry, there was no time to arrange a safe distance between the guns.

This shot naturally exploded a large area.
