The rumbling sound of artillery echoed on the position. Although he was among the woods, Heisenberg would always observe the sky from time to time.
airship!
Like everyone else, Heisenberg was also afraid of airships. After all, in Sedan, airships cast an indelible shadow on them.
Facing the threat from the air, the Prussian army responded extremely quickly. They immediately tried every means to fight against the airship. The simplest was to hide their whereabouts. From then on, they learned to camouflage.
Now, the Prussian artillerymen hiding in the woods not only used the tree canopy to hide themselves, but also planted many branches for the cannons. They looked like low shrubs. If observed from the air, it was almost impossible to detect them.
exist.
However, this is impossible when they are not firing. Once they fire, the smoke of black powder will immediately reveal their position.
When Heisenberg was observing the airship in the sky, he did not notice that in the gondolas of several reconnaissance balloons a few kilometers away, several South China Artillery officers were using the balloons to observe and mark the exposed artillery positions.
Looking down at the earth from a height of 100 meters, everything is unobstructed.
"They can hide really well!"
Even with the help of an 8x telescope, it was difficult for Zhao Dexin to find the gun positions hidden in the woods, but when they fired the guns, the positions were naturally exposed.
"Even if we hide again, they can't stop having sex!"
"Put the map in the tube and throw it away. Also, try the phone again and see if you can get through."
"Yes, sir."
Chen Ke pressed the phone and shook the handle several times.
"Hey, test, test, this is observation post No. 3! Can you hear me?"
"I can hear it, very clearly."
The voice on the phone was very clear.
In the eyes of everyone, the telephone invented by Mucci was simply a miracle. In the past few years, the telegraph company made many improvements to Mucci's telephone. It was first recognized by the military. Even now, the telephone is only
It is only used within a limited scope by government agencies and the military.
And this was the first time it was used on the battlefield. It was such a small phone that brought the Nanhua Artillery into true modernization!
After completing the test, Zhao Dexin looked at his watch and said.
"It starts in thirty minutes!"
The bombardment begins in thirty minutes!
The information sent by the observation balloon was quickly sent to the artillery position. The artillerymen on the position adjusted the firing angle and pointed the muzzle at the enemy. The 88mm field gun used by the expeditionary force is the latest type 70, which is the same as the type 65 field gun.
The biggest difference of the gun is that it not only uses smokeless gunpowder, but also uses a spring recoil machine. The steel gun mount is equipped with a hydraulic spring recoil machine with a structure similar to a motorcycle shock absorber. The gun body is fixed on a sliding
On the gun mount, this advanced recoil device gives it extremely leading performance.
As the most advanced artillery in South China, the entire expeditionary force is only equipped with 54, which even includes 13 test guns. Now its muzzle points directly into the distance. The gunners open the partition bolt and simultaneously move the 88mm
The brass fixed-loading bullet was stuffed into the chamber, and then waited quietly.
Suddenly, the phone in the artillery company commander's bunker rang!
The moment he answered the phone, he covered the phone and shouted.
"Fire!"
"put!"
At the moment when the gun rope was pulled, Li Jie habitually retreated back to avoid the sliding of the cannon's back seat.
Accompanied by the sound of a cannon, the gun recoiled violently, but the gun frame remained motionless. The gun receded nearly three feet and then automatically reset itself. At this time, the smoke from the muzzle had not dissipated.
"Load!"
While opening the gun bolt and extracting the cartridge case, the loader loaded another 88 mm grenade.
On the observation balloon behind the artillery position, Zhao Dexin observed the target through a telescope. Even from behind, he could feel the shock of the cannon salvo. When the deafening sound of artillery came, he counted silently in his mind.
As an artillery officer, Zhao Dexin could easily memorize these numbers. As he counted silently, the artillery shells roared towards the woods.
A few seconds later, Heisenberg, who was pushing the cannon back in the woods, heard a roar overhead.
"Bombardment!"
As he yelled, a cannonball exploded in the air - the cannonball detonated when it hit the canopy of the tree. The destructive power of the shell exploded in the air further expanded, accompanied by clouds of smoke and roaring fragments falling from the sky. There was almost no dead angle for killing, steel
While the fragments were harvesting the lives of the Prussian soldiers, the exploding wood chips and broken branches also roared down from the sky, piercing the bodies of the Prussian soldiers.
The woods that once provided them with good concealment turned into a trap, a death trap. Although only some of the shells exploded in the air, the damage they caused was staggering. It was just a round of shelling, and the artillery position was full of people.
It was covered with corpses, and more were wounded people struggling in a pool of blood and screaming. Those screaming wounded people were quickly blown up into the sky by artillery shells.
The violent bombardment did not stop because of the obvious effect of the first round of bombardment. However, just a few seconds later, the artillery shells came again. However, in just an instant, the Prussian artillery position was enveloped in a hell of steel and fire.
In this hell composed of iron and fire, no one could escape. In the roaring steel fragments, the flesh and blood body was easily torn into pieces. The power of the God of War was fully displayed at this time.
For those in this hell of iron fire, all they can do is...just wait to die.
In the violent explosion, the earth turned into an ocean. The earth was shaking and trembling. Heisenberg, who was in it, just screamed in terror, and there were even some people nearby crying like women.
In the shock wave of the explosion, Heisenberg felt as if he had lost consciousness - his hearing and vision seemed to be lost. He had a severe headache. The choking smoke made him feel a little suffocated. His chest was tight and there was silence all around.
He couldn't hear or see, but he could feel the earth shaking. The artillery fire had not stopped, and the South China Army's shelling was still continuing.
"It's so violent!"
This idea came to Hesenbao's mind. He was eager to survive such a bombardment. At this moment, he felt an impact coming, and then he felt that the person seemed to fly up, and then there was a kind of
A heavy and real thing poured on the back. In the suffocation, the intermittent consciousness finally disappeared completely...
