Chapter 74 Japanese Counterattack
After the shells flew out of the barrel, they smashed them towards the Japanese artillery tower with a scream.
Zhang Bing is worthy of being an old artillery soldier. Even if he was hitting a mortar like this for the first time, he still hit the target accurately.
The whistling mortar hit the exterior wall of the second floor of the artillery building.
After a ball of orange-red fireball exploded on the exterior wall with the explosion, the artillery tower still stood firmly in the middle of the stronghold as Mount Tai. However, with the help of the telescope, Wang Ping clearly saw that several cracks had been blown out on the exterior wall of the artillery tower, and many bricks and stones were blown off from the exterior wall.
Although the artillery tower is a brick and stone structure and is very strong, it is not a concrete structure after all. As long as a few shells fall and explode at the same time, a large hole will be blown out of the exterior wall of the masonry tower.
After reaching this conclusion, Wang Ping immediately ordered: "Platform Commander Zhang, use the same method to continue firing the artillery, and then shoot at the second floor of the artillery tower. I don't believe that so many artillery shells cannot blow the artillery tower over!"
Zhang Bing smiled bitterly at first, then he took the order and said, "Battery Commander, your artillery method is not something that ordinary people can use. If you react slowly, the shells will get stuck in the cannon chamber and explode, or directly hit the shell-stinger!"
"For safety, I'll come in person, and the others will learn first!"
After fine-tuning the mortar that had just been fired, Zhang Bing directly stuffed the shells into the muzzle and then shot the shells out in the same way.
"Boom!" The shells hit the exterior wall of the artillery tower and exploded, but they were slightly off the landing point of the shell just now.
But even so, the violent explosion still caused considerable damage to the exterior wall of the artillery tower.
While blowing up a lot of bricks and stones on the exterior wall, the cracks that just exploded became bigger at this time.
"Just blow up there and keep firing!" Wang Ping, who became more and more excited as he looked, ordered loudly.
"Baga, what's going on? How could the enemy have flat-fired cannons?" Looking at the artillery tower that had already begun to appear in front of him, Captain Nakata was also panicked and asked his subordinates.
"Captain, the Eighth Route Army attacked us outside, and I don't know why they had flat-fired artillery! However, their artillery positions are not far from our artillery tower, and are within the range of our machine gun!" The captain quickly answered.
"Then why are you still standing there? Let the warriors fight back immediately and destroy the Eighth Route Army artillery positions, right away!" Captain Nakata shouted loudly.
As soon as the team leader left, Nakata continued to curse: "Where is the messenger? Haven't you contacted the Laiyuan City Command? The Eighth Route Army is equipped with flat-fire cannons, so the Eighth Route Army that attacks us must be the main force. The headquarters must send troops to reinforce us immediately, otherwise we will not be able to hold on for too long! Bageya Road!"
The messenger who had already prepared to welcome Nakata's anger ran over and lowered his head and replied: "Captain, the phone line connecting the headquarters must have been cut off by the Eighth Route Army outside, and I can't contact the headquarters at all!"
"Baga, the Eighth Route Army must have wanted to wipe out us all...boom!" Before he finished speaking, a violent explosion rang out on the outer wall of the artillery tower. Nakata obviously felt the artillery tower shocked violently during the explosion, and then he heard the sound of a large number of bricks and stones hitting the ground on the outer wall.
That's not all. A hole the size of a bowl appeared on the outer wall of the artillery tower hit by the shell. Through the hole, you can clearly see the firepower point where the Eighth Route Army was constantly firing at the artillery tower.
Wang Ping didn't know what the purpose of the puppet army did this, but as soon as they lay down, the Japanese behind them were exposed to the machine gun.
"Hurry up, fight against the Japanese behind the puppet army and kill them all!" Wang Ping ordered with excitement.
