The regiment commander smiled slightly, and immediately led Zhao Lijin to the artillery observation scope.
Zhao Lijin was dumbfounded when he saw it, he thought that the observation mirror of Zhang Ercheng's howitzer battalion was big enough, but he didn't expect that it was bigger, and comparing the two was simply a small thing.
Strangely, last night, when they were transferring the cannon and shells, they didn't find it The head of the garrison made a graceful gesture for him to come closer.
Zhao Lijin hurriedly stretched out his head over, and I saw that on the wide Yangtze River, the warships of the little devils were one after another.
There were small boats wandering next to those big warships from time to time, and Zhao Lijin stared at them with wide eyes for a while, but he didn't see a small boat carrying devil infantry coming towards them.
Reluctantly took his eyes off the observation glass, Zhao Lijin found that the regiment commander was gone, and he just wanted to open his throat and shout, when several observers politely asked Zhao Lijin to flash aside, and they were about to start working.
Zhao Lijin consciously stepped aside, and then these observers began to methodically convey the enemy's position and orientation parameters to the various gun emplacements on the battery.
It's a pity that Zhao Lijin is not interested in this, he thinks it is more enjoyable to go to the gun position to watch the battle.
So with a wave of his hand, he led his men down to the gun position.
By this time, the place had already been busy, and the cannon that had been transferred last night was now back in the firing position.
The listless, sickly looking commander of the garrison looked in good spirits, and he was directing a huge cannon to raise the muzzles of the black holes upward.
Zhao Lijin was dumbfounded, and he was hooked, thinking that if these big guys came to the little devil's warship for such a moment, it would be enough for a fucking pot.
Zhao Lijin said excitedly and respectfully: "Brother, if you have anything to do, it is not a matter for these brothers under me to watch you fire the cannon just here, or we will carry the cannonball for you."
The commander of the garrison smiled: "You're welcome, I'll talk about it later, now you just have to watch." ” As soon as he heard what everyone said, Zhao Lijin no longer insisted, and he divided the people he brought into ten groups and scattered to observe how the cannons of others beat those warships that showed off their might.
Suddenly, the observer of the battery who was in charge of the lookout shouted loudly: "Tuanza, there are three warships on the river heading towards us, followed by many small boats, carrying infantry. ” Hearing this, the commander of the garrison hurriedly ran over, stared at the observation mirror for a while, and then said with a solemn face: "Brother, it seems that the devil is going to land forcibly, you quickly inform your brothers in the fortifications and let them prepare for battle." ” "There is not much time, at the speed of the Japanese army, it is estimated that it will be able to land on the shore in twenty minutes, and I am going to start shelling here."
Hearing that the cannon was about to fire, Zhao Lijin, in order not to miss this rare opportunity to observe, immediately ordered his two men to hurry up to report to Zhai Daping, telling the brothers of the special service battalion to prepare to resist the Japanese landing.
As soon as the two soldiers in charge of reporting the news left, the communication soldiers sent by Zhai Daping to pull the telephone line arrived.
Zhao Lijin thought that it was really better to come early than to come by chance, and he asked the communication soldiers to answer the telephone line as quickly as possible, so that they could report the situation to Zhai Daping at any time.
At this moment, a 350-mm Krupp cannon imported from Germany on the turret let out an earth-shattering roar.
Zhao Lijin felt like his ears were deaf, buzzing, and he couldn't hear any other sounds, and the whole world was silent.
After a long while, Zhao Lijin finally heard a noisy shout in his ears and the bombardment of a huge cannon, and he hurriedly ran to see his brothers, only to find that they all had dull expressions, numbness and stiffness.
Obviously, the fierce shelling just now instantly stunned them, and they haven't reacted yet.
However, seeing that the brothers were nothing serious, Zhao Lijin was relieved, and then he set his eyes on the Yangtze River.
I saw that the water in front of me wanted to pick up, and the columns of water splashed with beautiful white splashes, and there was a faint flash of fire in the splash.
Zhao Lijin suddenly realized that these bright lights might be a phenomenon created by the enemy warships when they began to counterattack.
He reflexively stepped back, and in an instant a cannonball exploded on the river beach outside the battery.
Flying shrapnel mixed with muddy water rushed into the sky, more than 10 meters high, and a huge crater suddenly appeared on the river beach.
However, because the crater was very close to the river, it was quickly flooded.
Zhao Lijin was thrilled, thinking that he could be regarded as an eye-opener today, he originally thought that Zhang Ercheng's howitzer battalion was majestic enough, and that burst of artillery was really a kind of momentum that swallowed mountains and rivers.
But the mortars of the howitzer battalion are simply ants and elephants compared to these huge guns on the batteries, and the two are not at the same level at all.
At this time, all the artillery on the battery began to fire shells, and the sound of explosions was endless.
The chaotic and rapid sound of passwords and the dull roar of the shelling, combined with the loud noise of the shells exploding, made the scene chaotic.
Zhao Lijin slowly got used to this environment, and in order to better observe the effect of the shelling, he also ran to the observation glass, wanting to go up to see if the little devil's warship was hit by shells.
At this time, the commander of the garrison came over, pulled Zhao Lijin away, and shouted: "What do you see now, it's not too late to wait for us to finish fighting, you have to help, move the shells for us immediately." ” Hearing this, Zhao Lijin was so angry that he almost turned his back on it, and he was about to scold, but after thinking about it, maybe he was wrong.
Now people are busy, and he doesn't understand this thing, so he can't make trouble for people anymore.
Thinking of this, Zhao Lijin swallowed back the swear words that came to his mouth, and then he ordered the brothers of the special service battalion to hurry up and move the shells.
Zhao Lijin took the Dabao brothers to the place where the cannonballs were fired, and four or five people carried a cannonball and shouted a trumpet to carry it to the artillery position.
When the commander of the garrison saw that Zhao Lijin had brought the shells, he expressed his gratitude very much, and said: "Ma, you guys bring the gunpowder bag over, I'm running out of shells here." ” When Zhao Lijin heard it, hey, you have aroused Lao Tzu.
He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but in order to get over the addiction, his mother went out today, and what about being a coolie, so Zhao Lijin took someone to carry the gunpowder bag again.
Due to the large caliber of the cannons on the turret, shells without shells were used, and the number of gunpowder packs was increased or decreased according to the range.
To hit far, add two more gunpowder packs, to hit close, minus a few gunpowder packs, and the range can be controlled at will.
Of course, this is simple to say, but the actual operation is very complicated, and it is a technical job, which ordinary people can't do. t1706231537:
