Chapter 830: Use cannons to light fireworks

In the field of vision of everyone, who were a little confused.

I saw that the artillery phalanx quickly dispersed, the horses pulling the guns were pulled aside, the four artillery squads set up the four mountain guns every 15 meters, and the four artillery rangefinders were also set up one by one, several soldiers quickly looked ahead and reported the data loudly, the artillery of the guns quickly adjusted the cannons according to the data reported by their comrades, and some soldiers unloaded four shell boxes from a carriage and put them behind their respective guns, and each took out a yellow, orange and orange shell.

It turned out to be a real live ammunition.

The day he is an immortal, it's really a live bomb. The Sichuan people present all complained fiercely in their hearts.

"Captain Liu, what are you going to do?" Taking advantage of the fact that the artillery was still adjusting the gap of the muzzle, Fan Shaozeng couldn't help but look at the shells that were stuffed into the barrel with some distress, and asked with a painful face.

He knew that this cannonball looked inconspicuous, but it was really expensive, and a cannonball would cost at least tens of silver. Because, this thing is also imported. These four boxes of shells look like they have to be nearly 20 rounds, if they are used as salutes, it is a waste of money, not to mention, the key is that this shell is not easy to buy if you have money! If it is put in his fourth division, it is definitely hidden like a treasure in normal times, let alone fighting, not when it comes to life and death, it is difficult for the artillerymen to take a look.

Of course, more importantly, his fourth division doesn't have this treasure thing, and there are only two old mountain cannons that have been used for nearly twenty years. said that the egg hurts, I am afraid that it is more caused by envy, jealousy and hatred.

"Yes! Commander Liu, on the occasion of the Great Celebration, other expenses are enough, but it is better to save a little if the ordnance and ammunition can be saved. Zhang Yan also persuaded with some heartache.

This is the sorrow of a country with a poor industrial base, and the generals who command the army may not care much about money, but they are always very precious about the ordnance and ammunition that they cannot make.

Liu Lang smiled faintly, "On this occasion of the celebration, how can you do it without ceremonial flowers?" The two brothers don't have to feel distressed, this is also a test for the brothers of the artillery battalion of our regiment, the more nervous the artillery is, the more accurate it must be! Otherwise, how can you kill the enemy on a battlefield that is even more tense than this? As the fire support unit of our regiment, they must have such psychological qualities. ”

All right! There was nothing wrong with what he said, and the two generals were collectively speechless. However, it is difficult not to admire Liu Lang's way of governing the army, and it is impossible to test the psychological quality of the artillerymen without wasting such an important celebration.

If it is not accurate, not to mention that this artillery battalion will become a laughing stock, and even the entire independent regiment will probably lose an adult in front of all the Guangyuan gentry, which will completely cancel out the huge impact caused by the infantry formation in front.

However, if you casually put a few cannons in the distant mountains and forests, let the big guys see the power of the cannons and listen to the sound, it is not impossible to set off a salute. Anyway, the independent regiment looks very wealthy.

However, with Zhang Ruhao's loud introduction, it is obvious that the independent regiment really has no intention of just firing salutes.

"Now preparing for live firing is the artillery battalion of our Independent Regiment, the Great Wall War, formerly known as the artillery company of the Independent Regiment 130 officers and soldiers shelled the Japanese army a total of 136 times, Luo Wenyu defensive battle for eight days, they participated in the battle for an average of more than 12 hours a day, fired more than 10,000 shells, scrapped dozens of barrels, killed and injured countless Japanese soldiers, it is because of their existence that the Japanese can not unscrupulously fire at our position, they are the most reliable fire support troops of our regiment.

Now, it is up to them to use their most trusted cannon to light the fireworks of our independent regiment's Chinese New Year's Eve. On the top of the hill in front of us, there is a beacon tower on each mountain, symbolizing the fireworks lit in the four years since the founding of our independent regiment in 1932, and symbolizing that our independent regiment will continue to forge ahead in the war against the Japanese invaders and never retreat.

However, they only had a chance of four guns, there was no test firing, no supplementary firing, and in each magazine, there was only one shell. Zhang Ruhao's voice sounded loudly in the training ground, which had become somewhat quiet.

"See, two brothers, I, Liu Lang, am not a loser, and I don't have so many shells for the brothers to play." Liu Lang said with a smile to the lieutenant general and major general beside him.

However, this time, even Master Har, who likes to joke the most, has a solemn look on his face.

Liu Lang's joke is not funny, but he is full of confidence. He thinks that his artillery can hit a target 4,500 meters away with one shot, and it is four guns in a row, and each shot must be hit.

This, how many opportunities do you have to train with live ammunition to have such self-confidence! The two generals who have led the army for many years understand more of the subtext contained in Liu Lang's self-confidence. There is no genius in this world, and the so-called genius is achieved by the hard work of others.

"Open fire" Zhao Ergou's face was unprecedentedly serious, and after the four squad leaders holding red flags raised the red flags in their hands one after another, the roar shocked the audience.

With this order, the artillery squad leader holding the small red flag waved the red flag violently.

"Bang。。。。。 Boom..... Bang" The four cannons let out a huge roar, and the crowd more than 20 meters away covered their ears, and a group of young ladies were even more discolored.

Just firing a cannon is so powerful, what an earth-shattering thing it will be when the cannonball hits the ground! If Zhao Ergou had told them that if four cannons fired shells at this training ground nine miles away, no more than ten rounds of shelling, they would have blown up this training ground with a radius of 3,000 square meters into a scorched earth, and that no more than 30 percent of the thousands of people here would survive, and that there would hardly be ordinary people alive, I am afraid that these ladies would not have imagined the power of the shell explosion in their minds.

On the battlefield, the most people are not killed by the rifle that hits with a bang, nor by the machine gun that screams and hits the barrel of the gun, but the number of cannons that looks the least, but when it explodes, it is a large piece of artillery. Whether it was the 1932 Songhu War of Resistance or the 1933 Battle of the Great Wall, the reason why the national army lost repeatedly against the Japanese was because the artillery was inferior to people. And the reason why the Independent Regiment was able to resist the Eighth Division for eight days was that if it had not been for the desperate counterattack of the dozen or so mountain guns hidden in the fortifications captured from the Fourth Brigade, more than 1,000 people would have died in the battle.

Artillery, in this era, is a well-deserved god of war.

As all four cannons were fired in less than ten seconds, a ball of fire exploded on the hill as far as the eye could see, followed by another ball on the adjacent hill. Four fires in a row lit up on four hills.

"Boom" It was only then that the rumbling of cannons came from afar.

Judging from the approximate location, the four cannons hit quite accurately, at least they all hit the four hills introduced by Deputy Zhang Tuan. It's just that the imaginary fireworks didn't ignite.

Come to think of it, it's still a little bit worse. But, that's already remarkable.

Anyone who has ever been a soldier knows that without a test shot, he can hit 100 meters around the target, which is already a very good result.

"Papapa" Fan Shaozeng and Zhang Yan applauded at the same time, and under the leadership of them and a group of officers, the audience applauded like thunder.

It's not as amazing as it seems, but it's really, really good.

Of course, it also has the meaning of giving face to the independent group.

But Liu Tuanzuo didn't look the slightest frustrated, and laughed, "Two brothers, it's not the right time to applaud!" You see, the fireworks are coming. Here, there should be applause. ”

Then, in everyone's field of vision, in the light of the fire that had just exploded, fireworks exploded one after another, followed by another mountain, and then the next. Then, the flames of the four hills burst into the sky, and four huge pillars of smoke soared upward.

From the time the shells exploded to the fireworks in the sky, there was a gap of about twenty seconds.

"Haha, two guys don't think I'm stupid to put the oil on the fire and fireworks on the fried point! The shell only hit the fire, and it was still forty meters from the fire! Otherwise, you'll be blown up all at once! Liu Lang said with a smile.

In front of the fireworks and fireworks in the sky, the tide of applause was silent. Four shells, none of which missed? All of them have achieved the effect that Deputy Zhang Tuan said before.

No one doubts the accuracy of the shells, because no one dares to cheat in front of real shells. Liu Tuanzuo, who has always loved soldiers like children, would not do such a stupid thing.

There was a "boom", and the thunderous applause exploded again after a short silence of a few seconds, which was at least twice as large as the applause when the two generals led the way just now.

With such a strong army, it is definitely the blessing of Guangyuan.

"Obediently, Zhao Ergou's artillery company is even worse now! It's really where to fight. No wonder your Liu Tuanzuo dares to take such a big risk and let them play this trick. Liu Da, who was standing with Ji Yanxue and watching the artillery battalion, was also amazed.

"Ahem, Sister Xueyuan, your Chief Liu is not as bold as you say, he sent someone to dig anti-artillery holes on those four mountains a few days ago, you know." Ji Yanxue covered her mouth and was secretly happy.

I'll go...... Liu Xueyuan couldn't help but use Liu Tuanzuo's commonly used mantra.

Liu Tuanzuo is still the same Liu Tuanzuo! It has never changed with the passage of time.
