Chapter 436 Range(2/2)
The first few mountain cannons evacuated were not directly threatened by the shock wave, but this did not mean that they were retreating safely and calmly.
The broken branches, flying gravel... hit the Japanese soldiers and pack horses like hail.
Although the pack horses of the Artillery Regiment had experienced several wars, this was the first time these beasts were shot at close range.
The stones falling from the sky and the splashing branches hit the horse's backs with hot temperatures. The trembling of the earth and the roar in the ears made the horse feel a huge threat. Under multiple shocks, the camel horse responsible for pulling the mountain cannon was shocked.
Once a beast is frightened, it cannot be saved by humans.
The Japanese soldiers were still lying on the ground, holding their heads to avoid shock waves and splashes, as if they were not aware that chaos and death were approaching.
“Yu…”
The horse raised its four hooves and shook its body wildly, trying to throw the load on its back.
After discovering that he could not get rid of it at all, he was thrust by the desire to survive and fled to the distance.
“Rumbling…”
The war horse dragging the mountain cannon took off its four hooves and ran forward. The mountain cannon behind him ruthlessly ran over the bodies of the Japanese soldiers on the ground.
“Ahhh…”
“Woo woo woo woo…”
The weight of 500 kilograms can easily crush human bones, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers immediately became a pool of flesh and blood.
The horse ran wildly without hesitation.
"Transfer to the left by one degree, shortening the distance by 200 meters..."
The observation team kept correcting the shooting of the elements, and the entire valley was covered with thick smoke and flames.
"Huh? The Japanese are running so fast?" When they found that Japanese artillery roared in another direction, the leader of the observation team frowned and exclaimed.
But he quickly realized the trick of the Japanese commander. The sounds made by the 75mm mountain cannon and the 105mm field cannon when it exploded were completely different.
The cannon turned the mouth of the gun again.
...
Shigeru Inoue watched with his own eyes that most of the mountain cannon brigade was swallowed by the shock wave and flames, and the only trace of luck in his heart disappeared.
There are at least two of the 6 75mm mountain cannons that were directly damaged. The repairs that were pulled away by the war horses may be useful.
He didn't have time to consider the losses and said to the messenger behind him:
"Order the field artillery to stop immediately and the shelling will be transferred to the position!"
The 105mm field gun is the most important guy in the field gun wing. If there is a mountain gun again, his field gun wing will be ruined.
"Your Excellency the division commander, the field artillery corps suffered heavy losses, so I requested to retreat to the rear and rest." A staff officer hurriedly ran to Seiichiro Shinohara and said.
Seiichiro Shinohara also saw the situation just now, and he raised his hand.
"Have the Chinese artillery positions been found?"
"Hiyi...just..." The adviser wanted to speak but stopped.
"Baga, say it quickly!"
The staff officer gritted his teeth and said bluntly:
"Shiro Inoue calculated the position of the opponent's artillery, but...it's just...the distance is more than 10 kilometers, exceeding the range of our artillery!"
The staff officer lowered his head after he finished speaking.
“Baga…”
...
...
On Snowflake Mountain, the fireworks performances that Jiangdong is looking forward to have not been launched.
The artillery showdown was seven or eight kilometers away, and at this distance he could only see some fire and thick smoke.
A large group of Japanese soldiers climbed the most difficult 300-meter mountain road and appeared in front of the frontier positions panting.
Jiangdong put down his telescope and said to Xu Zihe:
"Xiao Xu, Guohua's fight has been completed, and you will be the next one."
Xu Zihe stood attentively and saluted,
Chapter completed!
