Chapter 211: The Birth of the Towed Artillery
"Report! A large number of Ming troops were suddenly discovered at the west end of the town, and he was blocking our way back. One of the Warat scouts ran up to the boy and fell to his knees, reporting what he had seen.
The boy was still thinking about what was wrong just now, but suddenly after hearing the scout's report, he felt a light in his eyes, and all the problems were quickly figured out. But then there is an incredible face.
According to his thoughts, this is the Ming army to surround him and Naigong's troops, and then eat them all, but the intelligence shows that the army is only 10,000 people, are they capable of doing this? What the hell is going on? Even if there was an error in the intelligence, the other guards of the Ming Dynasty had come to Qin Wang Jingshi, how could the Ming army, which had just experienced the two defeats of Tumu and Shi Heng, have such courage?
The boy thought about it, so he decided to go outside the west end of the town to have a look. General Naigong also had an incredulous face, and followed behind Polo Mao's child towards the west end of Willow Town.
......
Fifty miles west of Willow Town, Warat's rear army was encamped under the command of its leader, Yexian, for the evening rest.
In front of them were the two armies sent by themselves, and they were particularly solid when they slept first this night. After seeing that the main force of the Ming army was all wiped out, he didn't think that anyone else could threaten him.
It's just that what he didn't know at first was that at this moment, just eight hundred steps away from his tent, Yang Chendong, dressed in green clothes, had already come here, and stood on an inconspicuous small earthen bag and overlooked everything in his camp with night vision binoculars.
"The layout of the barracks is a bit loose on the outside and tight on the inside." Slowly lowering the telescope in front of his eyes, a gentle and confident smile appeared on the corner of Yang Chendong's mouth.
"Young Master, do you want to inform them of the action?" Yang Er, who was tall and more than eight feet tall, asked in a solemn voice.
"Yes, use the radio communicator to inform Hu Mang, it's time to act, hehe." Yang Chendong nodded lightly. Now, everything is within his own plan, which gives him a feeling of being in control of the world. In fact, for this operation, Yang Chendong did pay a lot, at least took out a lot of good things from the warehouse.
On the surface, the warehouse is a large military warehouse of the state, in which there are not only some advanced weapons produced in China, but also some weapons that are ready to be sent to the troops, and some cutting-edge weapons collected from all over the world, which are used for self-research, and now, everything is at Yang Chendong's discretion.
This time, in order to effectively attack the Warat army and accomplish its goal, the FGT-203 mm towed gun was specially mobilized from Okura.
The FGT-203 mm towed artillery is the largest caliber field artillery developed by China itself, developed by NORINCO. The system is mainly used by military-level combat units, with long range, high power, high precision, and can be equipped with a variety of special ammunition, and is the backbone of firepower for long-range attacks. Although the gun was dismounted, its range exceeded that of the same type of artillery in the United States and Russia, and it was given the title of "Asia's first artillery".
The FGT-203 mm towed gun is very cumbersome, and its maneuverability is not as good as that of other artillery, and it is easy to expose the target, so it is slow to withdraw from the position after being hit, and the battle loss rate is greater than that of other artillery. It was because of these shortcomings that it was eventually discontinued.
There will be FGT-203 mm towed artillery in the big warehouse, which is completely displayed as an antique, this time it was taken out by Yang Chendong, in addition to wanting to relive the power of this cannon, there is also the need to rely on the big warehouse only need to place this cannon in one place, and there is no need to move the process. Another is that the effective distance of this cannon is 50 kilometers away, and the lethality range is large, which is suitable for him to use in a battle at this time.
The FGT-203 mm towed gun was taken out and placed in a hidden place, and Yang Chendong did not forget the wide-eyed expressions of these Leng Feng, who had already seen the world, when they found the artillery with the brothers of the second company and a platoon led by Hu Mang and Leng Song.
The FGT-203 mm towed artillery is extremely powerful, that is, it can hurt others, but also can hurt oneself, once such a heavy firearm appears, Yang Chendong has always been cautious, and brought the most profitable and most believed tiger mang around him, in order to let him be responsible for the use of these guns.
After handing over the FGT-203 mm towed gun to Hu Mang, and briefly performing some operations, telling the other Leng Feng how to fire the cannon, and telling the specific location in detail, Yang Chendong, who left a long-range radio communicator, came to the outside of the Wara military camp, looking at the enemy army that was still sleeping in front of him, he felt that it was time to wake up the other party.
"Use the radio to inform Hu Mang that he can act. Hopefully he'll be more accurate. Yang Chendong said as he took Leng Feng and the second and third rows of soldiers of the second company to retreat. After all, this is a cannon, there is a chance of accidental injury, don't be killed by your own artillery fire before you hit the enemy, then there is really no place to find it.
Here, Yang Er used the radio to contact Hu Mang over there, and after saying what the sixth young master meant, within a mountain col thirty miles away from here, Hu Mang gave the order to fire a cannon to the Leng Feng brothers around him with a serious face.
There were a total of two FGT-203 mm towed guns, and under the order of Hu Mang, the Leng Feng brothers, who had systematically and conscientiously studied the knowledge of artillery fire, began to operate in an orderly manner that was not familiar.
After the necessary procedures were carefully implemented, a golden shell that an adult could only pick up with all his strength was sent into the barrel, and with Hu Mang's order, an FGT-203 mm towed gun that had been adjusted by Yang Chendong let out a roar, and after the whole body trembled suddenly, the fire roared out from the muzzle and flew straight into the military camp of the Wara army thirty miles away.
Most of the Warat soldiers were immersed in sleep. This time they got a lot of benefits, and many of the soldiers had satisfied smiles on their faces. But all this was interrupted with a deafening thud.
"Boom!"
A roar like a small earthquake rang out, and the shells landed in the barracks of Warat, creating a huge flame that spread outward from the center.
The shrapnel of the bomb shot out like countless meteorites flying in the banking system, piercing one camp after another, producing a sound like a ghost crying wolf.
Not far away, looking at the fire that was like a mushroom cloud, although they had been prepared, Yang Er and the others were still stunned on the ground, but soon this shock turned into worship, and their eyes fell on Yang Chendong, who was standing in the center of them.
At this time, Yang Chendong was smiling. He was glad that his work had not yet fallen, and the artillery calibration was still very accurate, which was also due to the fact that in order to complete a certain task in his previous life, the state found more than a dozen artillery experts to conduct a one-month professional training for him.
I was so busy that I didn't even have time to sleep. Looking at the results so far, it seems like everything is worth it.
"Inform Hu Mang, adjust the target to the left and right at will, and fire the second shell." Now that the coordinates are prepared, Yang Chendong has nothing to fear, so he continues to give orders to Yang Er beside him, asking him to use the radio communicator to continue to notify Humang thirty miles away.
Looking at this moment, the Warat military camp has already become a pot of porridge, that is, the soldiers who usually sleep and die are awakened by this loud noise at this moment, some of them are wearing simple pajamas, rush out of the camp tent and look at the mess in front of them, and from time to time they will rub their eyes to be sure that this is not a dream, but a reality.
Just when everyone was still confused, what the hell was going on, the second shell fell as scheduled. The landing point was fifty paces to the left of the first shell. With another loud bang, some unlucky morale stood in the bombarded area, and at that moment they successfully fulfilled their childhood dreams and flew into the sky.
But this was just a flash in the pan, and it soon fell to the ground again under the influence of gravity. It's just that when it lands, there is no life.
The artillery fire in the dark night was dazzling and dazzling. Yang Chendong and his entourage seemed to be watching the fireworks, admiring everything in front of them. In contrast, the Warat barracks had already been in chaos. The leader had already woken up, wearing a cloak, and under the protection of the soldiers, he looked blankly at the flames burning one after another, and his lips trembled, and he seemed to be thinking something in his mouth at the moment.
was indeed stunned by the scene in front of him. A scene that he had never seen before, or even dared to imagine, happened so real in front of him that he felt like he was in a dream. But the soldier's shouts were so real, and the smell of blood was so thick, and the cruel reality told him how real all this was, without the slightest hint of adulteration.
"Chief, let's get out of here, it's too dangerous." A cronie watched the life-devouring fire fall around from time to time, fearing that the next breath would threaten the safety of Yasen, so he hurriedly reminded him.
"Wait, stop, stop." At the moment when Yexian instinctively wanted to nod his head, the moment he wanted to abandon the warriors who supported him, suddenly everything was so quiet again, although there was still a fire burning, and the miserable howls of the soldiers were endless, but without the roar of the cannonballs, the danger seemed to be gone.
