On the seashore, on an artillery observation post.

Shancang licked his chapped lips with a shocked expression.

"Platoon, platoon commander!" Because of nervousness, the hand holding the microphone of the mountain cannon trembled slightly, and the tone of his voice changed, "There are so many devil landing craft!" ”

The opposite side said in a deep voice: "How many?" ”

"There have to be fifty, no, more than that!" "There must be seventy or eighty ships!" ”

"Seventy or eighty?!" The opposite side said awe-inspiringly, "Mountain artillery, is there a big boat?" ”

The mountain artillery observed through the artillery mirror for a moment, and replied: "Yes, most of them are small steamers, only a small number of medium-engine boats, and even fewer large-engine boats, and only five of them are seen in front of Haiyuean!" ”

"Keep an eye on these five big engines!" The other side shouted, "Report immediately when you enter the firing range!" ”

"Yes!" After the mountain cannon finished speaking, he hung up the phone, and then stared at the five slightly larger engine boats hidden in the small steamer through the artillery mirror!

A quarter of an hour later, the devil landing craft came within artillery range!

However, the mountain artillery did not report it, because the devil's large engine boat has not yet entered the effective firing range!

After about two minutes, the mountain artillery finally picked up the phone and yelled into the microphone: "Platoon commander, the devil's big engine boat has entered the firing range!" ”

The other side shouted: "Report the parameters!" ”

The mountain cannon roared: "Three scales south-southeast in the direction, nine thousand one hundred meters away, nine knots in wind, north-northwest in the wind, repeat, three scales south-southeast in the direction......"

The other side replied: "Roger!" ”

……

On the cruiser Ashigara.

The three old devils held binoculars and watched the sea in front of them closely.

Tanabe Moritake said to Yanagawa Heisuke: "Your Excellency, Commander, my landing craft cluster has entered the range of the Shina artillery!" ”

"See." Yanagawa Heisuke nodded, and said, "But the Shina artillery didn't fire, and it seems that most of them have no shells......"

Before he could finish speaking, a scream suddenly came from ahead.

Yanagawa Heisuke's face immediately fell, and here it is again!

In the next moment, a column of water burst into the middle of the landing craft cluster in front of Haiyue Nunnery!

A moment later, rows of shells whistled in, and they landed in the middle of the landing craft cluster as if they had eyes, especially the No. 1 engine boat, which was swallowed up by the splashing water column!

Tanabe Moritake's face changed suddenly, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Commander, it seems that the artillery of Shina is firing at the No. 1 big engine!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a dazzling red light suddenly bloomed in the field of vision of the telescope!

"Yaga!" Yanagawa Heisuke couldn't help but curse, because he saw with his own eyes that the No. 1 big engine boat hidden in the middle of dozens of small steamers had been directly hit by several shells, and even if it caught fire and exploded, it didn't take more than a moment before and after, and the big engine boat slowly sank to the bottom of the sea!

Along with this big engine boat, there was also a Type 95 light tank!

It's not over yet, after sinking the No. 1 big engine, the Chinese artillery quickly turned the target to the No. 2 boat!

Obviously, the Chinese artillery has also realized that these large engine boats pose the greatest threat to them, so it is better to risk exposing the target and inviting the attack of the aviation than to sink them first!

At that moment, Yanagawa Heisuke turned his head and said to Deputy Toyoda: "Toyoda-kun, you have to send a light signal and order the aviation to destroy the Shina artillery!" ”

After a pause, Yanagawa Heisuke said again: "The threat of the Shina artillery is too great!" ”

"Hello!" Toyota's deputy Wu shook his head and ordered the adjutant to send a light signal.

In a few moments, the tricolor signal lights on the cruiser Ashigara came on one after another.

After receiving the light signal from the cruiser Ashigara, the four reconnaissance planes hovering in the air immediately divided into two attack formations, and two groups of two swooped down towards the artillery position of the Serpent King.

However, the two reconnaissance fighters of the first group did not drop bombs, but only whizzed over the artillery positions at an ultra-low altitude.

As soon as they were stirred up by these two reconnaissance fighters, the thick smoke that filled the sky over the artillery positions immediately dispersed, and the position of the artillery was immediately exposed to the field of vision of the second formation.

Four months have passed since the full-scale outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, and the combat experience of the Devil Air Force has been greatly improved.

The next moment, two reconnaissance fighters of the second formation swooped down.

……

"Hit! Hit! The mountain artillery clenched the microphone and shouted hoarsely, "Platoon commander, hit again, the second big engine boat has been knocked out!" ”

The other side of the phone shouted coldly: "The next target parameter!" ”

"Yes!" The mountain artillery responded and was about to report the parameters of the No. 3 target that had just been measured, but suddenly heard a whining scream in his ears, and when he looked up sharply, he saw that the two reconnaissance planes of the devil had already swooped down, and a heavy aerial bomb mounted under the belly of the plane was also clearly visible.

Then, the two aerial bombs broke off the belly of the plane and roared down.

From the flight trajectory of the aerial bomb, the mountain artillery immediately judged that it was heading for the artillery position!

"Platoon Commander Xiao ......" The mountain artillery immediately roared, however, before the last word was shouted, a loud bang immediately rang on the other side of the phone! And then there was no response!

"Platoon commander? Platoon leader?! ”

"Platoon commander, are you still there?"

"Anyone? Are there any alive?! ”

"Platoon commander? Little Seven? Lao Zhao? Brother Ma?! ”

"Are there any alive? Is there anyone else who can catch their breath? ”

While the mountain cannon roared loudly at the microphone, tears were already raining down!

For the mountain artillery who was adopted by the artillery platoon when he was a child, the artillery platoon is his home, the platoon commander and the brothers of the platoon are his relatives, if the artillery platoon is gone, his home will be gone!

If you are not an orphan, it is difficult to understand the desperate mood of the mountain cannon at this moment!

However, there was a dead silence on the other side of the phone, and no one responded.

Just when the mountain cannon couldn't help but want to run back, a light cough finally sounded on the other side of the phone.

The mountain cannon suddenly listened to the holy sound, and said happily: "Brother Ma? What about the platoon commander? How's the platoon commander? ”

"The platoon commander is gone!" Brother Ma said heavily, "But the platoon commander said that as long as there is still one person in our artillery platoon, as long as there is still one person in the last person, the battle will never stop!" ”

After a pause, Brother Ma said again: "Now, report the parameters to me!" ”

"Yes!" The mountain cannon responded with a bang, and reported with tears, "The distance is 6,500 meters, the direction is east-southeast by one degree, the wind speed is nine knots, the wind direction is north-northwest, repeat ......."

"Roger!" After Ma Ge finished speaking, he hung up the phone decisively.

The mountain artillery also refocused its attention behind the artillery mirror.

After a few seconds, several jets of water splashed around the devil's big engine boat in the field of vision.

The mountain artillery cursed in annoyance, it's really damned, the first round of fire salvo didn't hit!

When the mountain cannon grabbed the microphone again, the corrected shooting Zhuyuan report was uploaded, and then the attention was focused on the back of the gun team mirror again.
