1890 King of Southeast Asia

"Target area 107 to 202, assign target area by group."

"High explosive bomb impact fuse, anti-explosive bomb time fuse, field artillery group timed 9.5 seconds, howitzer group timed 10.2 seconds."

"Each group 5 rounds rapid fire, start!"

Boom!

At the positions of the 2nd and 3rd battalions of the divisional artillery positions, 302 105mm field guns or howitzers began to pour shells into the river.

Because the target area is large, 160 shells exploded on the river surface in more than 1 minute, with little impact on the Euphrates River.

The effect of the shelling was also very general. 160 shells may have directly caused less than 160 casualties.

However, the explosion of the shells brought a heavy psychological burden to the Ottomans. The water waves caused by the explosion of the high-explosive bombs caused many Ottoman soldiers on the rafts to fall into the water. The explosion of the anti-explosive bombs nearby also made many Ottoman soldiers hesitate, and the speed of the rafts suddenly stagnated.

"Correct 200 to the right, extend 100, reload 1 round." The observer observed the dispersion of the shells and corrected the coordinates.

Boom!

The artillery roared, and a few seconds later, another water column rose on the river.

"20 to the left, less than 50, 3 rapid fires, extend 20 backwards."

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Water columns rose one by one, and simple rafts or small civilian fishing boats on the Euphrates River were destroyed or overturned at any time.

Although the Ottomans were still busy crossing the river, their speed slowed down visibly. The remaining ships either deviated from the direction and moved away from the ferry, or gathered together and became the target of artillery fire.

Later, they found that the ships gathered together were more likely to be attacked, and they tried their best to separate. The entire river surface was in chaos, and there were constant collisions or overturns of ships or rafts due to improper operation.

In this way, the Chinese artillery swept the Ottomans on the Euphrates River one by one, and the Ottomans had to stop crossing the river temporarily.

However, their goal was achieved - forcing the Chinese to open fire and expose the location of the artillery group.

2 Ten minutes later, the Ottoman artillery, which had been prepared for a long time, finally launched a counterattack.

"Target destroyed, new coordinates 29-54, 50 to the right, loading the anti-explosive bomb..." Before the gunner Liu Peng finished speaking, a shell fell on the hillside 300 meters away from the artillery position.

boo!

"Hurry up, load the anti-explosive bomb, two rounds in a row, someone will deal with it." Liu Peng glanced at the explosion point, his eyes changed slightly, and urged the loader.

Boom!

The shell flew out, and after 12 seconds, it exploded in the air above the river. Thousands of small steel balls and shell fragments hidden in the anti-explosive bomb splashed, covering the surrounding area of ​​dozens or hundreds of meters.

A small fishing boat and three rafts that were sailing in this range were attacked. Seven of the dozen Ottoman infantrymen on them were injured by shrapnel, two died directly, and the remaining five were injured.

Because of the chaos caused by the injuries, the center of gravity of the small boat and raft was unstable, and more than a dozen people fell into the water.

You know, this is the Euphrates River in winter, and this location is north of the 38th parallel north latitude. Although it is not in a high-latitude area, the snow covering the surrounding hills also shows that the winter here is not warm.

The people who fell into the water still had clothes on their bodies. Although the thick clothes had been taken off and placed on the boat, the cold river water and underwear meant that these people were basically hopeless.

Especially the wounded, even if they were strong and strong-willed, their wounds were directly soaked in the river water, which would definitely be infected. Coupled with the cold, they would die of illness if they were not drowned.

boo!

"Target destroyed, new coordinates..."

boo!

boo!

boo!

Three shells fell in succession, landing around their gun group, the closest 78 meters, and the farthest more than 200 meters.

Liu Peng couldn't be sure whether the shell in the distance was aimed at himself or the friendly artillery group, but he was sure that he had been located.

After this round of calibration, the next round can hit the artillery group within 50 meters, causing effective damage.

If the Ottomans are willing to invest, more than a dozen guns will fire covering fire together, and two rounds will be enough to destroy them.

"Stop loading, pack up the cannons and move to the reserve gun position." Liu Peng changed the order. Now, we have to run.

"These Ottomans are really useless. They came to bombard for half an hour. If they were slower, we would have moved without them attacking us." The loader said while helping to lift the hoe.

Because the transfer preparations were made from the beginning, there were not many things on this position, just cannons, shells, vehicles for transfer and a telephone.

The telephone is used to convey coordinates and orders. The artillery command is of course not here. The gunner is in charge here, and all orders are transmitted by the command through the telephone.

Because of the preparations for the transfer, there were not many shells on the position. At first, 40 shells were prepared, and there was a spare ammunition depot with 20 shells 100 meters away.

According to the requirements of the Chinese artillery training code, this more obvious enemy artillery position must be located within 5 minutes and effectively destroyed or expelled within 10 minutes.

Ten minutes, leaving 40 shells, as long as it is not a rapid fire support fire, it is enough.

As a result, one ten minutes after another passed, and a full 30 minutes passed before one shell landed 78 meters away.

At this time, the Liu Peng cannon group had hit more than one hundred and 4 dozens of artillery shells. Except for the original 6 ten rounds, the others drove the car to now pull it. Because of the supply of artillery shells, the firepower of the artillery group has also reduced a lot.

After half an hour, several filledors were all tired.

They had to go back to the car first, and they kept going to the position and then moved the ammunition and put them down neatly at the temporary underground stacking point.

The 105 shells are not heavy, but so many times, so many times in a short time, the people who hit the iron must also be tired.

BOO!

Another one cannonball exploded nearby. This time the Ottoman played far away. It was more than 70 meters away. The scale of the explosion was only 75 guns. The power was not great.

"Pour, down, down, stop!"

Cangch ~

"Hurry up, hang up the cannon, take away the phone, and the rest of the chicken 0 dogs will not care." Liu Peng held a few pictures and directed the artillery team to clean up things.

After pulling off the phone line, the secondary gun chief rushed over to the car with the phone.

There are two cars, 1 car cannon, 1 car pull, cannonball and various tools are scattered on the two cars.

BOO!

A 105mm artillery shell exploded less than 30 meters away from the cannon. The dust generated by the explosion made Liu Peng's vision 1 poor.

The soldiers standing next to the car were hit by two pieces of broken films, and the broken film was pierced into his left leg, and the blood was flowing.

The two soldiers felt that he simply bandaged hemostasis, and then threw him into the car.

"Let's go." Wait for 1 cut, and Liu Peng sat on the location of the truck's co -pilot and said to the driver.

Boom Longlong ~~

The truck's diesel engine made a huge sound, the exhaust pipe was discharged from the thick black smoke, and then the truck pulled the man or the cannon left quickly.

On the way, the Ottoman's artillery shells fell from time to time on this abandoned position, and Liu Peng 1 pedestrian had already lost its trace.

Nympho

Of course, not all the artillery groups were like Liu Peng's group. One gun group was very poor. Just one artillery was fired, and a dozen cannons faced him. Finally, a 150mm howitzer was also obtained.

Among them, 1 round shell was less than ten meters away from 1 105 cannon, and 7 people were reimbursed directly. The cannonball broke the scope of the scope, and various traces were left on the artillery body.

With the 152mm howitzer of the Huaxia Empire invested in anti -artillery operations, it marked that the Huaxia Artillery's blocking of the Aoya River was charged 1 paragraph, and the front line was temporarily calm -except from time to time.

The Ottomans returned to the West Bank and were calm for an hour.

"Leader, boat, many boats!" The scouts rushed into Guo Liang's headquarters breathlessly, saying that he was angry.

Guo Liang walked to the beside the hole and picked up the telescope 1 to see. I don't know when it was rushed down to hundreds of boats, all ships, not rafts.

As for why it is not in the upper reaches from the upstream, because there is no ferry on the upstream, the river bank is either a cliff or a gravel beach. Only when the S is curved, there are two gentle sediment accumulation.

There are places that are suitable for large -scale crossing the river to dozens of kilometers more than tens of kilometers. There are also downward, but those places are too far away. In the second, there are already restrained troops to fight in those directions.

For example, the north is the defense zone of the 6th 10th regiment. In addition to the 6th 10th regiment, where the two Ottomans are the divisions, adding a 1 -point unit is meaningless and it will only increase the pressure of logistics.

"Ordered mortars to fire continuously, and the goal of attacking the distance is far away.

"Ordered all departments to immediately check the ammunition reserves, prepare for transportation, and provide ammunition for machine guns and mortars at any time."

"Heavy machine guns put the target on the ship's body, and those scattered soldiers on the shore let light machine guns and rifles solve it."

Guo Liang looked at the newly added ship and took a cold breath.

He had to admit that the Ottomans were really ruthless. First, they forced the artillery of the Chinese people with their lives. After the artillery began, the artillery would frequently replace the position, and the fire support ability would become extremely weak.

At this time, hundreds of ships were dispatched with one of the remaining boats and a raft 1 offense, and saturated attacks.

If it is facing the army of European countries, this tactic is very effective, because at this time, the fire support ability is not strong at this time.

This is not worthy to be worthy of the power of the cannon, but refers to the type and number of firepower. Before the 1 battle, there are two types of firepower. Large -scale use.

Huaxia lost the fire support, and the Ottomans still have a large number of consumer artillery can be used to attack on the shore, which is undoubtedly an advantage.

Even if Huaxia has a mortar, the Ottomans found that the mortar shells were very slow during the battle. The ballistic bent. In this way, the target on the water was difficult, and the loss would not be too great.

They think so until ... until ...

Tong!

puff!

BOO!

When a small boat was close to the shore, a fire line suddenly came out on the banks of the river.

The power of the explosion is not very great, but the boat is already crowded, and the water flow also becomes confused because the large ships and the explosion are more.

"Put back!"

At the beginning of the fire line, a Huaxia soldier was holding a tube, shouting loudly on his teammates ...
