Chapter 087 Wild Cannon vs. Mountain Cannon

"Baolian Mountain is the artillery position of the Japanese army!" Zhou Charter said.

" Artillery position? Lord Zhou, do you think the Japanese army will set up artillery positions in Baolian Mountain? Luo Mingfang shook her head: "It's too close to our defense line. I don't think the Japanese army will take this risk."

"They have no choice! They must take this risk!" Zhou Charter said, "From the capital to Chenghuan, there are mountains all the way. The Japanese army does not have the ability to transport wild artillery. I'm sure that their artillery with the army is mountain cannons, and the range and ballistic arc of the mountain cannons determine that they can only set up artillery positions on Baolian Mountain, otherwise their shells will not hit Yuefeng Mountain!"

Luo Mingfang was silent. What Zhou Charter said is reasonable. The flat shooting range of mountain cannons is only 3,000 meters, and Yuefeng Mountain is the highest point around Chenghuan. If you want to send cannonballs to Yuefeng Mountain, you must sacrifice the range. In this way, the Japanese army can only set the cannon on Baolian Mountain.

Luo Mingfang pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Zhou, what you said makes sense, but the task of the artillery is not only to support Yuefeng Mountain, but also to control the road to Tian'an. If you move the cannon to Fangzhu Mountain, you can't take care of the road. That's the way for General Nie's life!"

"Luo Guandai, you are a gunner. Don't you know how much threat your eight cannons are to the road at the foot of Niu Xieli Mountain? If the Japanese army breaks through Yuefeng Mountain, I'm afraid General Manager Nie can't go down the mountain at all, and the Niuxili Road is useless in our hands!"

"Lord Zhou, do you have a warrant from General Nie?" Luo Mingfang asked.

"No!" Zhou Charter said, "The situation is urgent. I don't have time to ask General Nie for instructions."

"Sorry, Lord Zhou, I can't transfer the artillery position without the order of General Nie."

The wild artillery position is set in Niu Xieli, which was personally deployed by Nie Shicheng. To move the artillery position, Nie Shicheng's instructions are required.

"Luo Guandai, the Japanese army has organized fire reconnaissance, and the attack is about to begin. If we can't suppress the Japanese artillery, it won't be long on the top of Yuefeng Mountain.

Luo Mingfang shook her head: "Lord Zhou, I'm sorry. Please immediately ask General Nie for instructions and get General Nie's order, and I will act immediately. Luo Mingfang said and turned around and left.

"Luo Mingfang!" Zhou Charter stopped in front of Luo Mingfang: "Fuck you immediately order me to transfer!"

Luo Mingfang sneered: "Zhou Charter, you are Mr. Qian, and I am also Mr. Qian! I'm from the second phase of Tianjin Wubei School. You are in the fourth phase. What the hell do you have to order me!"

"I just ordered you!"

"Bulls!" Luo Mingfang was furious: "Zhou Charter, you want to ride on me when you hit Anchengdu! I want to see how the fuck you order me!"

Zhou Charter shouted: "Put his gun down!"

Luo Mingfang shouted: "How dare you...oops"

Yao Xi rushed up with a strong step, slapped Luo Mingfang with a star in the sky, and took the opportunity to get off Luo Mingfang's gun. More than 20 soldiers raised guns at each other, surrounding Luo Mingfang's own soldiers.

"All tied up for me! Bring up Zhao Xiaoman's new sentry!" Zhou Charter shouted.

Luo Mingfang shouted, "Zhou Charter, you fucking want to make... Whoo..." Before he finished shouting, his mouth was blocked. However, Yao Xi was also kind. Instead of using a rag, he used half a steamed bun that he hadn't finished: "Luo tube belt, you can eat it first. When we come back, I'll bring you little Japanese sushi."

Luo Mingfang was tied into a zongzi.

The new army sentry is at the front of the artillery position. Before Yao Xi's order, Zhao Xiaoman has rushed to the artillery position with the new army sentry and surrounded more than 100 artillerymen and eight wild artillery regiments.

The pipe belt was caught, and the artillerymen lost their backbone and raised their hands obediently.

Zhou Charter shouted, "Give me down. You are not prisoners. I don't have a good time with your belt. Luo Guan belt has drunk too much. I want him to have a good rest. Now I take the place of Luo Guan to command the artillery. At my order, transfer the cannon to the main mountain opposite. Hurry up, who is the first to set up the cannon on the mountain? I will award him ten taels of silver!"

There is silver! The artillerymen began to move the cannon with seven hands and eight feet. Luo Mingfang was tied into rice dumplings and stuffed with a steamed bun in her mouth. She could only watch the artillery drag the cannon down the cow.

Zhou Charter, Yao Xi and a group of personal soldiers opened their way. Zhao Xiaoman led the new sentry and artillery together and dragged the wild artillery to the main mountain.

The fish belly was white in the east. It was dawn, and the hillsides were full of dewy grass leaves, which wet the sleeves of the officers and soldiers.

As soon as I ran halfway up the mountain, I heard the sound of gunfire in Yuefeng Mountain.

At dawn, the main force of the Japanese mixed brigade launched an attack on Yuefeng Mountain. At the same time, a Japanese army of a brigade launched an attack on Nanshanli.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the black Japanese army rushed to the slopes of Yuefeng Mountain. 300 meters away from the top of the mountain, the Qing army's Gatlin machine gun opened fire.

The Gatlin machine gun is a series of light artillery invented by American Gatlin. By shaking the handle, it drives the barrel axis rotating cannon and can fire dozens of shells in a minute. The firepower is strong. In 188, the Jinling Manufacturing Bureau of the Qing Dynasty successfully imitated it and is equipped in the army. It is the most beneficial weapon in the equipment of the Qing army.

In the roar of Gatlin's machine gun, the Japanese army flew all over the hillside, and the living Japanese army was suppressed on the hillside and could not move.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise on Yuefeng Mountain, and then countless shells flew to Yuefeng Mountain. The originally green peaks were suddenly shrouded in yellow smoke.

The roar of Gatlin's machine gun was drowned in a roar.

The cannon set by the Japanese army in Baolian Mountain fired grenades at the top of Yuefeng Mountain. The grenades bloomed in the air five meters from the ground, and the Qing army on the top of Yuefeng Mountain suffered heavy casualties.

Qing officers and soldiers have never seen this kind of bomb blooming above their heads. They can't hide it. The top of the mountain suddenly became chaotic. Some soldiers were scared by the flying shrapnel, threw down their weapons and rushed around without thinking, and were soon blown up.

Less than 20 minutes after the start of the war, the Qing army's defense line was shaken.

Zhou Charter was in a hurry and turned around and shouted: "The first cannon was 20 taels of silver, and the first one to fire shells was 50 taels of silver!" The first one to send the shell to Baolian Mountain will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!"

With the help of the new army sentry, the artillerymen scrambled to drag the cannons and finally rushed to the top of the mountain.

Looking from the main mountain, I saw 20 mountain cannons laid on Baolian Mountain. Japanese artillerymen operated the cannons with bare arms and concentrated artillery fire to bombard Yuefeng Mountain. Yuefeng Mountain was filled with smoke, and Baolian Mountain was also full of smoke.

All 8 wild cannons were set up, and Zhou Charter shouted, "Run, fire for me to Baolian Mountain!"

I heard an angry curse in my ear: "Fuck you!"

Zhou Charter looked back and saw Luo Mingfang standing behind him, holding a pistol and point his gun at his chest.

Zhou Charter shouted, "Luo Mingfang, don't you have eyes? Little Japan is shelling Yuefeng Mountain!"

Luo Mingfang shouted, "Zhou Charter, I warn you that you are in the fourth phase of the infantry section, and I am in the second phase of the artillery section. It's not your turn to command the artillery!"

"What the fuck are you going to do!"

Luo Mingfeng sneered, turned around and shouted, "No. 1 gun, No. 2 gun, calibration shooting!"

Two roars, one shell landed on the hillside of Baolian Mountain, one shell landed on the back mountain, and the Japanese artillery position was undamaged.

Zhou Charter was furious: "Fuck you..."

Luo Mingfang shouted, "The target is right in front, ruler 50, 005 to the left, shoot at the same time!"

The roar of eight shells flew to Baolian Mountain.

On Baolian Mountain, fire suddenly rose everywhere, and four mountain cannons were blown into the sky. The rest of the mountain cannons stopped firing one after another. The artillerymen panicked and looked for the source of the shelling.

Before the Japanese artillery could react, a series of cannons flew to Baolian Mountain. Baolian Mountain was shrouded in the rumble explosion, and the Japanese mountain cannons were completely dumb.

The Gatling machine gun on Yuefeng Mountain sounded. Under the powerful firepower of Gatlin machine gun, the Japanese army almost rushed to the top of the mountain and fell down. The panicked Qing army finally stabilized its position and picked up weapons and shot at the Japanese army. The Japanese army attacked fruitlessly and retreated from Yuefeng Mountain.

However, the Japanese army broke through Nanshan.

The Qing army stationed in Nanshan fled to Yuefeng Mountain. The Japanese army chased behind it. Many Qing troops were hit by Japanese bullets and fell on the hillside.

Before Zhou Charter could speak, Luo Mingfang shouted, "In front of the target side, ruler 60, 007 to the right, shoot together!"

The shell landed in the Japanese army chasing the Qing army. The Japanese soldiers turned upside down, and the fleeing Qing army took the opportunity to escape to Yuefeng Mountain.

On Baolian Mountain, seven Japanese mountain cannons were blown up, and the remaining thirteen mountain cannons turned around and aimed at Fangzhu Mountain.

Zhou Charter exclaimed: "Move the gun position quickly!"

"I am the artillery belt!" Luo Mingfang shouted, "Listen to my command, target Baolian Mountain, shoot at the same time!"

The shell covered Baolian Mountain again. The shells fired by the Japanese army landed on the hillside of Fangzhu Mountain, a few hundred meters away from the Qing army's position.

Zhou Charter realized that the range of the Japanese mountain cannons could not reach the main mountain, and the wild guns of the Qing army, both in terms of range and power, were better than the mountain guns.

In order to improve mobility, the Japanese army gave up wild guns and switched to mountain cannons, which was a bold initiative. However, on the local battlefield, the Japanese artillery is at a disadvantage.

In fact, different gun types have no substantial advantages and disadvantages. The key is how to use them.

In today's battle between wild cannons and mountain cannons, the Qing army took advantage, but the advantage of the Qing army is not eternal.

It must be admitted that in North Korea, a mountainous country, mobility is more important than strong firepower.

The Qing army will pay for this immediately.

The smoke on Baolian dissipated, and all the mountain cannons disappeared, and even the destroyed mountain cannons did not leave a single part.

The Japanese artillery shifted their positions, and their rapid and clean actions shocked Zhou Charter.

Zhou Charter realized that the Qing army took advantage of the Japanese army in the battle of Chenghuan.
