C1465 The Unprecedented Artillery Warfare

Even if Ji Yaqinke and Ai Tuolin thought their way through everything, they would never have expected that war would erupt in such a way. Without the encouragement of the soldiers before the war, without any procedural orders, and without any army gathering, the war would start in a round of artillery fire.

The two artillery positions alternated between shooting and preparing for battle. Chests after boxes of artillery shells were pried open, the loader's arms were already numb with fatigue, gunner's voice was hoarse.

"Artillery Squadron... Filling... Launch! Continue Filling... Emission... Stretch, Raise Angle + 5... "Launch, launch, launch..."

"2nd Artillery Regiment, aim at Amur Bay and shoot at enemy warships …" Listen to my password and shoot! "Launch..."

The rumbling sounds of the cannons deafened the ears of countless people. The accumulated rage of the previous winter was completely released at this moment.

This was the largest cannon shot ever fired by a human, it was the most brutal bombardment ever seen in the history of the European artillery. Even Napoleon, the god of artillery, would be amazed by the density of this fire when he was reincarnated.

At the end of the world, only four or five rounds of artillery battles were shot, and seven or eight rounds would depend on the infantry to rush up. Even in the most critical and decisive battles of the Poo War, the cannons could last for no more than an hour.

Today, the Dragon Lord had created a miracle. He wanted to use 120 cannons to pour 60,000 rounds of artillery shells within 24 hours.

Every hour, 2,500 artillery shells would blossom on top of the enemy's head. In this era, the quality of cannons was far inferior to that of the 21st century. When the cannons fired three or four rounds, they would have to rest and cool down the cannons.

This type of cannon's firing frequency required one to constantly adjust the angle of the cannon frame, and the vibration would lower the gun's aim.

No one had ever dared to use cannons like that, even Xiao Letian would probably not dare to try. Only Dragon Lord who came from a wealthy family in the forest would have such a domineering attitude.

"The end of the war is morale! This was like a battle between two experts. One could not weaken their momentum from the very beginning! "It's exactly because they don't dare to think about it and can't think of it, that's why we have to do it even more …"

"Pah …" If your Russian is crazy, then I will be a hundred times, a thousand times more crazy than you! Keep shooting, don't stop! "

The crazy bombardment completely stunned Haishenwai. The soldiers hiding in the corners thought that after three or four rounds of barrages, the enemy infantry would rush up, but they did not expect that there would still be deafening gunfire that would cause their eardrums to hurt.

After ten rounds of bombardment, some of the commanders thought that the enemy should be charging at them. However, just as they pulled the soldiers out of their hiding spots and into the wall, several more rounds of bombardment followed, and countless lives were devoured by the exploding flames.

However, just as Ai Tuolin ordered the sailors to prepare to go ashore to provide support, when two companies of troops had just gone up, they heard another explosion in the distance, and the flames from the explosion dispersed two companies of troops.

Crash, the artillery barrages had only been going on for four hours, but already, countless Russian Army soldiers crumbled as they covered their ears and screamed out, "Oh my god! Were these Chinese people done yet? "Is it over or not …"

"Coward! If you have the guts, rush up to our bayonet … "Coward …"

What answered him was not the roar of the bayonet, but the constant sounds of gunfire and another volley of arrows shooting at him. Company Commander, who was inside the bunker, quickly rushed out and threw the crazy soldiers onto the ground, then yelled at them as he dragged them back.

"Idiot!" Bastard! Do you want to die? Are you looking to die? " the officer cursed.

But the soldiers could no longer hear him, and blood oozed from his ears.

"Counterattack!" Counterattack now! What about Ai Tuolin … "Now it's up to you navy cannons, only your cannons can suppress the enemy, you have to reduce the pressure on the army …" Ji Yaqinke roared her orders from inside her concealment.

When he arrived at the bay to give the order to the naval commander, he was firmly rejected by Ai Tuolin.

The aggrieved messenger ran back through the gaps between the gunfire and shouted as soon as he entered the headquarters, "Report this to the general!" General Ai Tuolin rejected your order, he decided to open fire … "

"What?" Are you an idiot? I am the commander in chief of the Far East region. How dare he disobey my orders? "

"Reporting to the General, Ai Tuolin said that the reserve for naval cannons is already limited. If we were to fire it at this moment, when the enemy infantry charge, we would have no more ammunition to use."

"Besides, if we choose to clash with the enemy's artillery, then the naval vessels will have to adjust their position. We can bombard them, and they can bombard the navy! "This kind of clash is a loss …"

"Bastard!" Ji Yaqinke rushed forward and gave him two slaps on the face, "I don't want to listen to his explanation, what I want is to carry out her orders! If the Navy doesn't fire, I'll shoot him! "

Ji Yaqinke grabbed the messenger's lapel and said sorrowfully, "You tell Ai Tuolin, now is not the time to consider the number of cannons. The Chinese people's intentions are clear, they want to use the long cannons to destroy our final morale! If the last bit of the army's morale is gone, how many waves of attack can we withstand? "

"Now is not the time to think about how to defend the victory. What matters most to us is how to stall for time …" We need to stall for time for the reinforcements from the Central Asia s! "

Blood dripped from the corner of the soldier's mouth as he took a step back and saluted. "Yes, General!" After saying that, he turned around and dashed into the smoke that filled the entire city.

A lonely figure passed through the flames, waiting for him to bring the commander order for Ai Tuolin. When the commander went silent, the soldier took the opportunity to take out the gun at his waist and point it at Ai Tuolin's head.

"I'm sorry, General!" I can go to the military court to get shot, but I feel that General Ji Yaqinke is right … In the Far East, our ten thousand over troops simply cannot win. We can only delay for more time and wait for the arrival of the Central Asia. "

"As long as we can endure until the cavalry regiment passes through the Amur River, even if we all die in battle, we have completed our mission! Please, fight back, for the sake of the king! For God's sake! "

Ai Tuolin's heart was shocked. He reached out his hand to hold onto the barrel of the naval officer's gun, and gently put it down.

"Brave soldier, go back and report to the general, the navy is willing to shoot down the last shell."

"Thank you, General!" "Thank you, General!" The messenger turned and ran back, but this time his luck was over. In the sight of the naval officer, a shell struck him right in the face, and the blast engulfed the soldier, leaving him no remains.

Ai Tuolin's eyes moistened as he roared, "Attack! The Navy returned fire! Enter shooting position... "Fire!"
