Chapter 41 Pudong God Cannon (Part 1)

“Huh?!”

Seeing the two Japanese soldiers being torn apart by the air waves caused by the explosion of shells, Xu Shijiu was stunned.

Then several more shells dragged the dazzling tracer across the Fortress Mountain and fell into the Japanese storm queue. Accompanied by continuous violent explosions, the Japanese army, who were charging forward, were immediately dizzy. In fact, there were very few Japanese soldiers who were actually killed by the artillery shells, but the psychological shock to the Japanese soldiers was huge.

Why did the Kuomintang army suddenly have artillery? What is the situation?

The remaining soldiers of the 61st Division who were waiting in the trenches to charge to the death were also looked at each other. The shells were flying from the Fortress Mountain. Could it be that the Japanese warships on the coast of Wusong were firing artillery? But this is not right. How could the Japanese warships shoot the shells into their own storm queues? Also, the caliber of the Japanese naval guns seemed to be more than that big.

Only Xu Shijiu vaguely guessed that this was probably the 8th Army in Pudong that was providing artillery fire support.

Although Xu Shijiu was not sure why the artillery of the 8th Army of Pudong was so accurate, and several consecutive shells fell into the Japanese storm queue like eyes, Xu Shijiu was very clear, that is, the artillery support that the 8th Army could provide was absolutely limited, and it could only shock the Japanese army for a moment.

#############

When the first shell from the east of the fortress fell and exploded, the opposite Grandpa Ohara immediately realized something was wrong. Just looking at the ballistics drawn by the shells in the night sky and the movements of the explosion, Ohara Takami knew that this was definitely not a naval naval gun, and the naval naval gun would never shell Taiwan at this time.

This is not the navy's naval gun, it can only be the Chinese army's artillery!

Captain Fujimoto, who was standing next to Shigemi Ohara, changed his face in an instant and whispered: "Captain, this is the artillery of the Chinese people, and he has at least four mountain cannons, which is equivalent to an artillery squadron. According to the practice of the Chinese army, at least infantry units above brigade can be equipped with artillery squadrons in the field."

Captain Fujimoto’s implication is that reinforcements from the Chinese army have arrived, and at least one brigade!

"Bageyaru, the reinforcements of the Chinese army came so quickly!" Although Ohara Shigemi was still a little suspicious, she did not dare to take risks. She immediately ordered Captain Fujimoto, "Order the Murayama Squadron to retreat immediately, the Maehara Squadron built fortifications on the spot and prepared to defend, the artillery squadron stepped up to search for the Chinese artillery and implement artillery countermeasures!"

"Hayi!" Captain Fujimoto suddenly bowed his head and took the order.

#############

On the top of the fortress, Liu Genshuo was holding up a telescope to observe the Japanese army below the mountain.

Seeing that the Japanese troops in both directions were shrinking and retreating at the same time, Liu Genshuo curled his lips and muttered in a low voice: "Damn the Japanese, I remember to escape at this time. Don't you feel it's too late?"

After saying that, Liu Genshuo raised a bunch of ribbons to measure the wind speed and direction, then grabbed the microphone and shouted: "The wind speed is two meters, the wind is southeast, the shooting angle is correct, the bounce point extends forward fifty meters, and ten rapid shots will kill the little Japanese!"

A few seconds later, rows of Bufus shells whizzed from Pudong with dazzling tracer, and then they fell down as if they were eyes-like, and then they exploded violently continuously. The Japanese army, who were retreating in a hurry, were immediately blown up, and the Japanese spirit of the little Japanese Bushido had no effect in the face of artillery fire.

Through the telescope, Liu Genshuo saw that the Japanese army was bombed to pieces, and the Japanese army was torn apart by the air waves caused by the explosion from time to time. He couldn't help but laugh, and roared in a low voice while laughing: "Damn the Japanese, let you go to the ground in China. Today, let you see the power of the Pudong God Cannon, hehe."

#############

On the main position at the foot of the Fortress Mountain, the remaining soldiers of the 61st Division were already cheering.

It is different to having artillery soldiers and not having artillery soldiers. Under the threat of artillery, the Japanese offensive collapsed immediately.

It is difficult for people who have never been a soldier or have not been bombarded by the enemy to understand the feelings of the remaining soldiers of the 61st Division at this moment. This is similar to the fact that they have had enough bullying of other countries' coast guards in later generations and finally one day they met the Chinese fishermen in the sea on the sea. In a nutshell, my relatives can be considered waiting for you!

"Dog-Da Xiao Ying, let you be crazy, haha."

"Work well, the artillery brothers are good, beat the dog to death!"

"Fight and fight, blow all these little Japanese devils to death!"

"Little Japan, I fuck your 18 generations of ancestors, get back to Japan Island!"

The remaining soldiers were cheering and thunderous, and only Xu Shijiu remained calm. Seeing the artillery fire of the 8th Army began to extend towards the Japanese army's deep position, he suddenly stood up from the trenches and shouted loudly: "Hurry up, hurry up and collect Japanese ammunition, whether it is the 38th cover or the melon grenade, all of them must be, hurry!"

The national army generally does not collect Japanese weapons because the caliber of the guns on both sides is different.

However, the situation is stronger than that of the humans. The ammunition of the remaining 61st Division has been exhausted. If the weapons and ammunition left by the Japanese army on the battlefield are not collected, I am afraid that I will not be able to support it for a quarter of an hour. At a command by Xu Shijiu, the remaining 100 remaining soldiers woke up like dreams, and they all jumped up from the trenches and collected weapons and ammunition left by the Japanese army everywhere.

"Hurry, move quickly!" Xu Shijiu kept urging the remaining soldiers of the 61st Division, because he knew that the artillery fire support of the 8th Army would not last long, and the Japanese commander on the opposite side would also react quickly, leaving them with no time to collect Japanese ammunition, so they must hurry up.

#############

Xu Shijiu's worries were absolutely right.

When artillery observers came to report that the Chinese army's artillery was far away on the east bank of the Huangpu River, Ohara Shigemi knew that she was worried too much. The reinforcements of the Chinese army had not arrived yet. There was only a small group of Chinese artillery providing support for friendly artillery fire. After realizing this, Ohara Shigemi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as China's reinforcements have not arrived, the situation of the war will still be under the control of the Japanese army.

However, Ohara Shigemi was still a little surprised because the Chinese artillery was fighting too accurately!

Whether it was the ten rapid fires that had just been pursuing Murayama Squadron or the extension of the Japanese beachhead positions, the Chinese artillery was shocking. In the view of Ohara Takami, even the best heavy artillery brigades in the empire, they were afraid that they could not perform better than the Chinese artillery on the other side.

Another row of shells landed on the beachhead position and almost detonated the ammunition depot!

Looking at the orderly soldiers at the headquarters of the brigade, the deputy captain Fujimoto couldn't help but mutter: "Captain, it's not safe here, you should hurry into the underground bunker? The Chinese artillery soldiers were like eyes, and they were fighting too accurately!"

Eyes? The Chinese artillery had eyes?! Ohara Shigemi suddenly felt slightly moved.

Then Ohara Shigemi turned around slightly, and her cold eyes fell on the Fortress Mountain.

Ohara Shigemi studied the Infantry Department at Lu Shi and the Command Department at Lu University. However, as a brigade leader, he must have enough understanding of artillery. Putting aside the direct aiming shooting of flat-fire cannons first. If long-range curved cannons are to be accurately shot, they are inseparable from the precise shooting provided by the front-line observation post.

For example, if the Japanese Navy's naval guns were fired, if there was no observation of the hot air balloon's lifting guidance, they could basically only fight blindly.

If the Chinese artillery had eyes, then these eyes were its front-line observation post, and this front-line observation post must be on Fortress Hill, because only by standing on Fortress Hill can the Japanese army's beachhead position and the attack route of the Village Mountain Squadron just now be fully visible. Yes, it must be like this.

In the darkness, it is too difficult to locate the Chinese artillery in Pudong and destroy it, but it is not difficult to find the frontier observation post on Fortress Mountain.

"Command." Ohara Shigemi raised her right hand and said coldly, "The artillery fires flares!"

"Hayi!" Captain Fujimoto suddenly lowered his head, turned his head and shouted, "Architecture Squadron, launch flares!"

Accompanied by two harsh roars, two flares quickly took off and fell slowly. The strong light emitted by the mixing and burning of magnesium powder and aluminum powder instantly illuminated the entire cannon as bright as day. Ohara Shigemi raised her telescope and looked up on the Fortress Mountain. She soon discovered several suspicious targets, and the front-line observation posts of the Chinese artillery must be among them.

"Yoxi, Yoxi." Ohara Shigemi smiled grimly, then put down her telescope and ordered Captain Fujimoto, "Order the artillery squadron to launch a fire attack on Fortress Mountain immediately and ask for naval support."

"Hayi!" Captain Fujimoto suddenly lowered his head and hurriedly took the order.

#############

As soon as the Japanese flare was lifted, Liu Genshuo knew that his observation post had been discovered by the Japanese army. The subsequent Japanese fire attacks further confirmed this. However, Liu Genshuo was not surprised but happy, and did not immediately move, because while the Japanese army was trying to destroy his observation post, they also exposed their artillery positions.

It's like two swordsmen fighting. One of them is facing the danger of being blinded by his opponent, but unexpectedly captured the opportunity to kill one blow. Did he choose to give up in order to save his eyes? Or did he sacrifice his eyes for a sword to seal his throat? Liu Genshuo chose the latter without hesitation and would kill the Japanese artillery on the opposite side no matter what!

Because Liu Genshuo knew very well that although the Japanese Navy's naval guns were super large in caliber and had super lethality, they could not hit the back of the Fortress Mountain due to ballistics. Instead, they were not as threatened as the Japanese infantry artillery on the opposite side. If they could kill the Japanese infantry artillery on the opposite side, they would undoubtedly greatly alleviate the pressure on the Taiwanese defenders of artillery.

One after another, the Japanese artillery shells scattered the entire top of the fortress, and the firepower of the Japanese naval guns from the sea outside Wusong hit the entire front of the Fortress Mountain. Liu Genshuo could even clearly feel that even the ground under his feet was trembling violently, and the scene of the end of the Fortress Mountain seemed to be in the end.

Liu Genshuo was not moved at all. He just stretched out his right thumb and raised his face in front of him, closed his left eye first, and then closed his right eye to silently estimate the distance of the Japanese artillery positions. For the Chinese artillerymen who lacked sighting equipment, measuring distance is a difficult technical job, and measuring distance at night is particularly difficult. Fortunately, there are Japanese flares to help.
