Chapter 68 Yang Xiuqin at the city gate tower

That's right, Bailixiu took an eight-power scope and tied it to the barrel of the artillery, and then started aiming at the little Japanese's reinforced concrete bunker one thousand meters away.

Then calculate the time it takes for the Taisho four-year-old artillery shell to fly one kilometer, and finally adjust the angle slightly.

For example, the muzzle velocity of this Taisho 4-year-old artillery shell is 389 meters per second, so the time it takes to fly one kilometer is about 2.5 seconds.

The cannonball will fall about thirty meters in 2.5 seconds due to the influence of gravity.

So just aim the muzzle of the cannon into the air thirty meters above the bunker.

When the cannonball flew over a thousand meters, it would naturally land on the bunker.

This is actually no different from shooting, and Bailixiu has the gift of super precision and can do it exactly right. Therefore, to a certain extent, there is no difference between firing a cannon and shooting a gun.

Of course, this method of firing can only be used when the target can be seen within one or two kilometers.

However, in most cases it is for the safety of artillery positions, which are often more than ten kilometers away from the target.

There are not only woods but also mountains in the middle, so at this time the fire observer can only report the location of the target and then aim and shoot based on the angle between the artillery position and the target on the map.

Of course, shooting based on the angle of the artillery position and target position determined on the map is naturally not as accurate as direct aiming. Therefore, at this time, fire observers are needed to observe the impact point and then report the data of the impact point to the artillery position, so as to make fine adjustments.

Re-correct the shooting angle.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, when an artillery fire like this is fired for the first time, a test shot will be fired first, and then the fire coverage will be carried out after confirmation.

boom!

With a deafening sound, the Taisho 4th-type 150mm howitzer captured by Bailixiu finally fired its first shell.

Then after flying for another two and a half seconds, the 36-kilogram howitzer hit the wall of the reinforced concrete bunker very accurately!

Then the collision fuse on the head of the grenade was triggered, and more than ten kilograms of high explosives filled inside the howitzer were detonated.

Of course, it took almost 0.05 seconds from the time the collision fuse was triggered to the time the high explosive inside the shell was ignited.

So it means that the shell exploded after it penetrated into the reinforced concrete wall.

Therefore, in terms of the power of the explosion alone, it is much more powerful than the explosion outside the wall.

And the reinforced concrete bunker was successfully destroyed by this howitzer bombardment.

Although this reinforced concrete bunker building has not collapsed, the destructive effect of a thirty-kilogram shell exploding inside it is much greater than that caused by exploding outside.

However, a team of more than sixty imps stationed in the entire reinforced concrete bunker building has been completely wiped out.

That's right, the reinforced concrete bunker built by this little devil who spent a lot of money will naturally not be able to station a small team like an ordinary brick-concrete bunker.

With the first reinforced concrete bunker building as an example, the other bunker buildings were naturally destroyed by Baili Xiu one shot after another.

Even in the corridors of Ping'an County, where there were a few firepower points where the little devils gathered, Baili Xiu rewarded them with a shot.

This feeling of controlling heavy artillery and bombarding it with all your heart makes Baili Xiu unable to stop!

It was so satisfying to have no choice but to feel that nothing could withstand a single shot from a hundred and fifty heavy artillery pieces.

With the addition of heavy artillery, it will be much easier to remove the enemy's firepower points.

It is no exaggeration to say that the effectiveness of Bailixiu's heavy artillery can at least be equal to the offensive effect of a battalion.

However, Bailixiu's side was enjoying the fight, but Yamamoto Kazuki's side was having a hard time. He didn't expect that there were 150-caliber heavy artillery on the Eighth Route.

So Kazuki Yamamoto quickly sent a telegram asking them if a 150 mm caliber heavy artillery piece had been lost here.

Then naturally we learned that yesterday a squadron transporting Taisho 4-year-old 150mm howitzers lost contact, and there is still no news about it, and there were also 100 rounds of artillery shells transported with it.

After receiving this news, Yamamoto Kazuki naturally understood that the one currently bombarding their firepower point was the Taisho 4th-year-old 150mm howitzer they lost yesterday.

Yamamoto Kazuki was naturally very angry, but he had no choice but to ask his superiors for help. Yoshio Shinozuka asked him to speed up the pace of adding troops so that they could arrive as soon as possible.

However, no matter how much you urged, it was too late, because with the assistance of Bailixiu's heavy artillery, the independent regiment took less than three hours to clear out the firepower points and bunkers in the corridor outside Ping'an County.

In addition to the city wall, there is nothing else that can stop the independent regiment in Ping'an County now.

Li Yunlong was not sleeping in the command room at this time, because Baili Xiuji arrived in time, so Li Yunlong summoned the independent regiment that night, and then launched an attack on Ping'an County early the next morning.

In the original plot, Li Yunlong only found out who attacked on the second day, and then went to gather the scattered teams of the Independent Group. Finally, it was already half late by the time the scattered teams of the Independent Group were assembled.

Therefore, naturally we could only wait until the third day to launch the attack on Ping'an County.

That's why in the original plot, Deputy Commander Xing said that Li Yunlong and his wife hadn't slept a wink for three days and three nights.

But now that Baili Xiu was intervening through time, the attack on Ping'an County took place on the next day, so a night without sleep was naturally nothing to Li Yunlong.

But although Bailixiu successfully advanced the time to attack Ping'an County by one day, it seems that the result did not change much.

For example, after three hours of fighting, when the city wall of Ping An County was about to be blown to pieces, Kazuki Yamamoto dragged the tied Yang Xiuqin to the gate building on the wall of Ping An County, just like in the original plot.

, I want to use this method to buy time for reinforcements from various places.

As for why Yamamoto Kazuki didn't call for fighter support from the Japs, after all, it would be very difficult to attack Ping'an County with the support from the Japs' fighter planes.

However, in Bailixiu's opinion, it is very likely that the Japs have no more fighter planes to use!

After all, it is already four or three years ago, and more than a year has passed since the Battle of Midway where the Japs turned from prosperity to decline. The Japs are now at the end of their rope, so where are there any fighter planes to support Yamamoto Kazuki!
