Chapter 219 The Power of the Cannon
Gao Hu also said: "This assassination technique has been transformed from complex to simple, to the point of extreme simplicity. It is very suitable for the battlefield."
"Have you learned how to do it?" Captain Liu asked with concern.
He has decided that this assassination technique will be promoted in his regiment.
"Yes!" Gao Hu nodded, joking, he had already used it just now and had been fighting for so long.
How could it be possible that I haven’t learned it yet?
The soldiers of the Second Battalion saw two people from the 215th Regiment defeated by the camp, especially the second man, who was over 1.8 meters tall, with a round waist and broad shoulders, obviously tall and strong.
Even people like this can't gain the slightest upper hand in front of the camp.
All these soldiers became serious. Wei Mingyang took a wooden stick and inspected the entire battalion.
After walking around in a circle, he walked onto the stage again and said: "The whole camp is here! Suspend practice!"
When everyone stopped, he said: "When fighting with a bayonet, whether it is defending or thrusting, you must not use all your strength.
Like the kind that uses up all one's strength and thrusts with all the force of feeding.
As long as your opponent is on guard, your next move will be dead.
Therefore, use seven parts of your strength and leave three parts behind!
Leave enough energy to retract and release freely!
Okay! Keep practicing!”
This kind of thing requires more practice.
After practicing a lot, I learned how to use all my strength to thrust out a spear and seek death on the battlefield.
7:30: The second camp’s morning exercise ends and they have breakfast.
There was no enemy situation for the time being, so the 215th Regiment sent one and a half battalions to reinforce the fort's defense lines. There were originally permanent fortifications here.
However, after being bombarded by Japanese naval guns, most of those permanent fortifications collapsed.
In the entire fort, the only forts in the center that can really withstand the bombardment of 300mm naval guns are the ones in the center, which were originally used for fortress guns.
It is now the camp of the Second Battalion. Six tanks, the artillery shells delivered yesterday, and all the captured weapons and ammunition are stored here.
The second battalion now has four companies. The three infantry companies are the former frames. The newly arrived anti-aircraft guns and 150mm howitzers have become the artillery companies directly under the battalion.
Regarding these artillery, Wei Ming's requirement is: "Artillery must also be equipped with rifles and machine guns! You must have the ability to protect yourself in close combat."
He is the battalion commander, so he does whatever he says.
He Zhengtai, commander of the anti-aircraft artillery, thought to himself: He was originally at Jiangyin Fortress and was fighting fiercely with the Japanese.
I was suddenly transferred here last night and took a look at this fort. It was just an anti-aircraft gun, and it was placed in the most conspicuous place.
Air defense here is definitely the best offensive position, but it is also the most vulnerable to enemy bombing.
If a tree is beautiful in the forest, it will be destroyed by the wind. This cannon is too conspicuous and will become the first target of others.
For example, the anti-aircraft guns in Jiangyin Fortress are all in permanent fortifications and protected by thick reinforced concrete.
This Camp Commander Wei knew everything, but he refused to listen to advice.
No matter what he said, he couldn't listen.
Moreover, he is a camp leader and he is just a small platoon leader, completely unable to resist!
He knew clearly that the camp location was wrong and would ruin the cannon, but he still couldn't refute it.
Equally depressed is Zhang Peiqing: I am in charge of a 150mm howitzer, do I still need to practice bayonet fighting?
joke!
Not only did this camp not understand artillery, it also placed the cannon in the most eye-catching position without even using camouflage.
Such cannons are so eye-catching that both Japanese infantry and Japanese aircraft can easily spot the gate.
Is Yingzuo really stupid, or is he a traitor?
This is obviously giving the cannon to the Japanese to blow up!
Unexpectedly, Yingzuo also issued a training order to himself: "The transition of the artillery from marching state to firing state must be completed within fifteen minutes.
The transition from firing status to marching status must be completed within five minutes."
He must be using the 150mm howitzer as a heavy machine gun! Do you want to fire a shot at another place?
In any case, the commanders of the two cannons each carried newly issued Type 38 rifles on their backs and watched their men playing with light machine guns.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly: Fortunately, I didn't give myself a weighted machine gun!
Although the two commanders had complaints, they still observed the surrounding situation very seriously.
Captain Takeda Seiichi of the Third Field Regiment of the Third Infantry Division of the Japanese Army received the transfer order last night.
At five o'clock, each artillery brigade was asked to make preparations.
After daybreak, the two heavy artillery brigades on the outskirts of Baoshan had finished packing and moved towards the Wusongkou Fort.
It stopped six or seven kilometers away from the fort.
Engineers began to set up artillery positions, and infantry set up fortifications on the outside.
Observe that the balloon begins to inflate again and slowly rises to the sky.
Yamada Shunsuke once again sat on the hanging basket and slowly rose up into the sky.
The Japanese artillery observation balloon can rise to a maximum height of 300 meters. When it reaches a height of 200 meters, it is already very eye-catching.
Although the cannons of the artillery regiment were still in place, Shunsuke Yamada had already seen the Yangtze River and the Huangpu River.
You can see Baoshan County to the left, and Wusongkou Fort to the right.
When it was staring at the Wusongkou fort, Shui Ningzhang, the artillery observer on the fort, first saw the Japanese observation balloon.
This kind of balloon is definitely a nightmare for the Chinese heavy artillery. With their guidance, the Japanese artillery can be targeted and constantly adjusted when bombing.
The infantry and artillery of the national army are completely defenseless!
The Japanese artillery observation balloon was still rising, and more than 2,000 people on the Wusongkou fort reminded each other that everyone had seen it.
Commander Liu Ying looked serious. He knew that the presence of this thing meant that the Japanese had heavy artillery coming.
Your own fortifications will be bombarded by Japanese heavy artillery!
The casualties in this battle must have been considerable!
At this time, Wei Mingyang had already brought Lu Fei and Yang Dazhu to the front of the anti-aircraft gun.
Asked loudly: "What's the distance?"
"Report the camp location! The distance is 7,300 meters!"
The hydrogel reports the reading from the rangefinder.
The soldiers in the artillery company were all thinking, so what if they knew this distance?
Is there anything else I can do?
He Zhengtai said anxiously: "The camp! The Japanese can see us clearly, the cannon must be moved immediately!"
Zhang Peiqing also said: "The camp! We really can't delay any longer! The Japanese heavy artillery bombing! It's simply not something we can bear."
Although the soldiers of the artillery company did not dare to speak, the expressions on their faces showed their attitude.
Each soldier's face looked a little scared, a little nervous, and a little hopeful.
They were obviously afraid that Wei Mingyang would not listen to his advice, and they also hoped that the camp would agree to move so that the cannon would be safe.
Wei Mingyang shook his head and said: "This is a good position! Don't give up!
Chapter completed!
