Chapter 301 The gate tower of Ping'an County was blown to pieces!
Chapter 301 The gate tower of Ping'an County was blown to pieces!
As Li Yunlong shouted "Fire" three times, the telegraph operator converted Li Yunlong's order into electromagnetic signals, which spread at the speed of light over a distance of 35 kilometers.
At the heavy artillery position of the 155 howitzer, Yu Ye had already prepared everything. He casually pulled a piece of late autumn dogtail grass, half leaned against the sexy barrel of the howitzer, waiting for the order to be issued from the front line.
The translator wrote down the order from Li Yunlong and brought it to Yu Ye. Yu Ye spat out the dogtail grass in his mouth and said calmly, "Comrades, it's time to do the work!"
"Follow my orders, reserve position, aim at 45, and test fire!"
Yu Ye's voice suddenly became serious.
"Yes!"
After hearing Yu Ye's order, all the soldiers at the six artillery positions responded in unison.
The loading had been completed before, and everyone had already completed the calculation of all elements before the order was given. After Yu Ye gave the order, the only action left was to launch.
boom.
The sounds of the six cannons firing were almost in sync, stirring up a cloud of dust on the spot.
Yu Ye, who was holding a dogtail grass in his mouth, was choked by the smoke and dust from the yellow earth. He started coughing and made others laugh.
Under the city of peace.
After Li Yunlong gave the order to fire, he immediately ordered all the soldiers on the front line to retreat, and they retreated a long distance beyond the safe distance that had already been reserved.
This made the Japanese soldiers on the city wall a little confused. Was this independent regiment cowardly or what?
Why are we retreating now?
And the young Eighth Route Army soldier holding the tin trumpet just now, wasn't he so aggressive just now? Why didn't he even want the tin trumpet in his hand now? Did he just throw it away and run away?
The Japanese on the city wall really didn't understand this operation.
However, they didn't need to understand, because after three or four minutes, the Japs understood everything.
From the extremely far horizon, six black dots whizzed towards the direction of Ping'an County at an unparalleled speed. The high-speed projectiles rubbed violently against the air, causing a hair-raising whistling sound.
Since it was a cold-bore firing, the accuracy of this first shot could not be guaranteed.
Three of the six shells fell on the open space in front of the city wall, two flew over the wall, and only one hit the wall firmly.
The 155-caliber heavy artillery, some of which are filled with RDX high explosive, has unparalleled power.
There is a unique sense of deterrence in the explosion of heavy artillery.
It has a dull sound like that of a wet cowhide drum being struck.
This muffled sound made the Japanese soldiers who were closer to the point where the heavy artillery landed feel particularly annoyed and nauseous, and several of them fainted on the spot.
Boom, boom, boom.
A series of explosions sounded.
The three heavy artillery shells that landed outside the city wall blew up a cloud of earth, rocks and dust, almost covering the sky and the sun.
What frightened the Japanese the most was the 155mm howitzer shell that fell on the city wall. With its explosion, a nearly 10-meter-long section of the city wall was immediately blown down, and countless bricks were blown off and scattered.
Yamamoto Kazuki was in a small house behind the city wall and could clearly feel the flying bricks hitting the roof of the house with a loud bang.
Looking at the collapsed section of the city wall not far away, Yamamoto Ikki had only one thought in his mind: it’s really over this time.
The Japanese soldiers on the city wall looked at the collapsed section of the wall and knew that if the independent regiment took the opportunity to rush over at this time, basically no one would be able to stop them.
This round of artillery fire almost foreshadowed the defeat of the Locust Army.
As the bricks and stones scattered all over the sky gradually fell to the ground, an eerie silence once again appeared between the two armies.
Logically speaking, this was the best opportunity for the Independent Regiment to charge, but the members of the Independent Regiment did not make any move. They all lay several hundred meters away, quietly looking at the already dilapidated city gate tower.
At the same time, the Locust Army should have opened fire intensively to prevent the possible emergence of the Independent Regiment's vanguard to break into the city, but they were completely frightened by the power of such heavy artillery.
The hands of these Japs were even shaking as they were holding their guns, and they couldn't even fire a single shot.
There is no doubt that the fighting spirit of these Japanese devils has been completely shattered by this round of artillery fire.
While the Japanese and ordinary soldiers of the independent regiment were idle, the telegraph operators under heavy protection were not idle. According to the location of the landing point of the first round of shells, the telegraph operators quickly marked it on the map, encoded it, and quickly transmitted it to the heavy artillery position 35 kilometers away through the radio.
"Minister Yu, the results of the first batch of test launches are out."
The translator handed the translated message to Yu Ye, who took it, took a closer look, and then handed it directly to Su Tong and Chen Gufeng: "According to the results of the first round of test firing, quickly calculate the parameters and adjust the precision. I will launch another strike in 1 minute."
"Yes!"
These two elite students from Fu Jen Catholic University never imagined that their application of mathematical knowledge would be so simple and crude when they were learning various mathematical knowledge.
In less than a minute, all six cannons had been adjusted and loaded.
Yu Ye shouted loudly: "Listen to my orders, Xu Jin barrage, 3 rounds of rapid fire, fire!"
Immediately, Yu Ye's roar was drowned out by the loud sound of heavy artillery firing. The soldiers did not hesitate at all, ejecting the shells, reloading, and firing in one go.
The second round of six shells continued to be fired, with the intervals between them almost negligible.
These are the skills and levels that were developed in the Battle of Bizigou a few days ago.
Last time, six guns fired nearly two hundred shells, which showed the level of these soldiers even if it was just feeding them.
Yu Ye covered his ears and watched three waves of shells fly out of the gun. He knew that after this time, the Japanese would have almost no ability to resist.
However, Yu Ye has always been the kind of person who either doesn't do anything or does it to the extreme.
What he wanted was not almost no ability to resist, but absolutely no ability to resist.
So, the Japanese soldiers on the city wall saw a scene that they would never forget in their lives.
Six 155 heavy artillery shells with corrected trajectory fell on the city wall in a row, and then exploded one after another, brewing the most beautiful firestorm in the world.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
It was like six heavy hammers hitting the city wall and the heart of the Japanese.
One hammer and it breaks.
After 6 loud bangs, a series of large holes appeared on the entire city wall, and the remaining ruins looked shaky.
Under the attack of six heavy artillery shells, the city wall looked like paper.
There was no power to resist and it was torn apart in an instant.
