Chapter 268 Heavy artillery sweeps the ground!
Chapter 268 Heavy artillery sweeps the ground!
After receiving the telegram from Lao Li questioning him why he couldn't hit the target accurately, Yu Ye was a little amused and helpless.
Damn it, I risked my life to come here for help from a hundred miles away, and you're still being picky, saying that I can't hit the target?
It’s just that!
Old Yu was so angry that he wanted to turn the 155mm howitzer around and directly fire two shots at Old Li.
In fact, if it is a cold-bore firing, even an experienced gunner with decades of experience may not necessarily or absolutely not be able to hit the target with one shot.
Yu Ye obtained the correction data of deviation from the target after the first round of test firing through telegram, and arranged for Su Tong and Chen Gufeng to solve the problem again and make precise adjustments.
"Scale 75, base firing direction, left position 50, three rounds at high speed, reload, fire!"
"boom!"
The six cannons that had completed loading fired 6 shells at an extremely fast speed, whistling towards the Japanese positions.
This time, the 18 shells had almost no deviation and directly completed the bombing of the six core targets reported by Li Yunlong.
These six targets were either the front-line command posts established by the Japanese, or the Japanese artillery positions, or the extremely dense gathering points of the Japanese. At this time, they had no possibility of survival under the heavy artillery.
Will be wiped off the map.
After a 155mm howitzer exploded, it could cover an area as large as half a football field. After these six areas were each attacked by three 6mm howitzers in succession, there was almost no living person to be seen in the six areas.
Li Yunlong saw the tragic situation of the Japs through the telescope.
When the second wave of artillery shells arrived, a Japanese soldier in one of the areas could not bear the mental pressure brought by such a huge threat, so he stood up from a crawling state and ran away. The 155 howitzer landed right in front of him and exploded in front of him.
Almost in an instant, the clothes on the Japanese soldier were torn off by the huge shock wave, and in an instant the Japanese soldier became naked. Then, because the air was violently compressed, which contained extremely violent power, the naked flesh and blood body of the Japanese soldier was instantly compressed and exploded.
The flesh and bones of the entire devil turned into a piece of minced meat, which was blown away by the shock wave and dissipated in an area of dozens of meters.
To this world, there is no trace of this devil having been here.
This horrifying scene was not only seen by Li Yunlong through the telescope, but also by the Japanese soldiers in the distance. This made these brainwashed Japanese soldiers horrified. Even the most stubborn beliefs were difficult to resist in the face of such a shocking scene.
It can be said that this artillery shell directly destroyed the Japanese devils' psychological defenses.
"Hahaha! Beautiful! So old-fashioned!"
Li Yunlong was reluctant to put down the telescope in his hand. He felt so happy watching the Japanese soldiers being blown to pieces and thrown away like rag bags.
"Transmitter, hurry up, send these locations of the Japs to Lao Yu, and let Lao Yu bomb them all to pieces with one artillery shell after another!"
Li Yunlong kept pointing on the map with his hands, identifying some core targets one by one as the targets of the next attack.
The telegraph operator also saw the heavy artillery bombarding the Japanese positions just now. He now completely understood why he was previously seconded from the brigade headquarters to the independent regiment and received training in mathematics and maps. It turned out that it was all preparation for this heavy artillery bombardment.
At this time, the telegraph operator did not dare to pause at all. He quickly reported a series of coordinates to Minister Yu 35 kilometers away according to the regiment commander's request. Then, heavy artillery shells like a rainstorm would fall on the Japanese positions.
The telegraph operator felt that his hands, constantly moving up and down, were like the pens on the King of Hell's book of life and death, ruthlessly reaping the sinful lives of the devils.
The soldiers of the Third Battalion of the Independent Regiment had stopped attacking at this time and were on guard at the front line, but there was no need to open fire.
The Japs are indeed well-trained and have strong tactical skills, but it also depends on the time of day.
At this moment, a series of heavy artillery fire that they had never experienced before fell on their heads, leaving them at a loss as to what to do. They could only lie on the ground and use their skulls to block the heavy artillery fire from the independent regiment.
"Hurry up!"
On the battlefield, Yu Ye kept urging the elite soldiers of the independent regiment he brought with him to carry the artillery shells.
Except for the monk Duan Peng and other members of the special operations detachment who were holding guns to provide perimeter security, all other soldiers joined in the transportation of artillery shells.
The weight of a 155mm howitzer is about 45kg. It may be a very easy problem for these elite soldiers to carry it with both hands and fire one or two rounds. However, after firing twenty or thirty rounds, all the gunners find it difficult to continue and can only ask these soldiers to help carry it.
No wonder artillerymen were ridiculed in later generations, saying that they were just doing physical work.
In this era, the load capacity of a truck is about 3 tons. This time, Yu Ye almost emptied the entire Liaoyuan Arsenal of artillery shells that had been processed in the past few months, and prepared a total of 290 shells.
This is nearly 8 tons of shells.
Yu Ye just couldn't believe it. He thought that he couldn't defeat Li Yunlong with 8 tons of artillery shells, and he couldn't destroy a Japanese brigade with 8 tons of artillery shells!
Horse riding!
There was no pause, and Yu Ye would not allow any pause. A tacit understanding was formed between the third battalion's position and the artillery position at this time, and the reaction was extremely quick.
Almost three minutes after the coordinates of the Third Battalion's position were sent out, the Japanese position at the corresponding location would receive at least two artillery shells.
At the beginning, the target was the core target of the Japanese. After seventy or eighty shells, the Japanese no longer had any core targets, or it could be said that almost all of the Japanese's high-value targets had been swept.
All the Japanese mortar and mountain artillery positions, including those in other directions, were destroyed by Yu Ye's heavy artillery.
After confirming with Yu Ye that there were more than enough artillery shells, Lao Li became more casual in choosing targets and almost cleared out all the Japanese positions.
For a full half hour, the artillery fire from the Japanese position never stopped.
Standing on the commanding heights of the Third Battalion's position, the Japanese position was full of potholes and looked completely devastated.
This attack directly frightened the Japanese.
