Chapter 234: Too Stingy

The First Gunner of the Bofors Mountain Gun.

He hugged the shell out of the ammunition box and then handed it to the Second Gunner.

The Second Gunner, having received the shell, removed the safety device and inserted the shell into the gun chamber.

Confirming the shell was loaded, he closed the breechblock.

Following the order to fire, the signal flag bearer immediately waved the flag in his hand.

The artillerymen immediately pulled the firing lanyard, in an instant.

"Boom!" came a sound.

"How to take out the Chuan Army's artillery."

"Regimental Commander, only six rounds hit."

The little devil's transport ship was blown open with a large hole.

At this moment, Yanagawa Heisuke only hoped that the Imperial Warriors could get ashore as soon as possible.

"Everyone, set your minds at ease."

"Baka!"

"Our Chuan Army's artillery, after all, hasn't undergone systematic training."

Right now it is the artillery's turn to strike, and the infantry can only wait.

"Boom—!!"

"Hai!" Tanabe Moritake bowed and scraped, then turned and left.

"Baka!"

"Brother Yu!"

It exploded directly, a fire-red light flashing continuously.

"The newly formed Artillery Regiment!"

After the five-round volley was finished, Zhou Xun ordered another three rounds to be fired.

"There are several artillery positions; for now, we cannot determine the true artillery position."

The barrels of the 12 Bofors Mountain Guns vibrated violently.

Guo Xunqi lowered the telescope in his hand.

To actually be stingy with shells, this bunch of guys... are too stingy!

There is no other way!

After chopping it down, he discovered that the Imperial Plaster Flag was tied to this wooden stake.

The more he looked, the more Yanagawa Heisuke's heart flared with anger.

"This is the Chuan Army's artillery conducting a test fire!"

This time!

Zhou Xun directly had the artillery conduct a five-round volley.

He immediately stood out: "Your Excellency Commander."

12 shells, like meteors, smashed toward the devil's transport ship.

The Imperial Navy and the Imperial Army could never see eye to eye.

Many little devils also prayed that the shells would not land on their own ships.

"But, even if the Third Fleet has enough shells, such a large bombardment range."

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!! —"

However, 12 mountain guns were truly too few in number.

"Wanting to destroy the Chuan Army's artillery position."

"Baka..."

"The Chuan Army's artillery position is adopting segmented shelling."

"Adjust the range scale to 517, adjust the direction right to 010."

He hurriedly gave the order for the soldiers to hang up the Plaster Flag.

They also could not suppress their own excited feelings, shouting: "Beautiful!"

"Great shot!"

Yanagawa Heisuke looked at Tanabe Moritake, "You immediately contact the Fleet Commander."

The devil soldiers inside the ship's cabin were blown into a bloody mess.

The little devils still had over a hundred ships.

Guo Xunqi and Yu Hua both watched Zhou Xun's Artillery Battalion shell the devil transport ship.

"They started shouting and yelling."

Fortunately, after Yu Dazhu's training, the technical skills of the 22nd Group Army's artillery had also improved.

"It's a hit!"

"To destroy the Chuan Army's artillery, it's a bit not worth it; we can't afford such waste."

As for whether the Imperial Warriors in the seawater can survive, that will depend on themselves.

12 shells, only six hit.

"The artillery technology of the Republic of China Army is very poor."

"Let them destroy the Chuan Army's artillery unit."

This artillery, it really is accurate as hell, not at all inferior to the Imperial artillery.

Hearing his Chief of Staff say this, Yanagawa Heisuke was so angry his face turned livid.

However, it was still hit by the Bofors Mountain Gun.

If he made excessive demands, the Imperial Japanese Navy would certainly make things difficult for him at the General Headquarters.

The Japanese soldiers operating the Transport Ship were performing serpentine maneuvers on the sea surface.

After observing the situation, Wang Tiedan immediately reported to Zhou Xun.

Although the Sichuan Army's artillery was firing quite well.

If they engaged in an artillery duel with the Japanese, it would be a complete suicide mission.

Tanabe Moritake saw Yanagawa Heisuke call his name.

"After all, the Imperial Japanese Navy's shells are much more precious than the Army's."

"Baka yaro!"

Yanagawa Heisuke, Tanabe Moritake, and other old Japanese soldiers saw the Transport Ship being hit by the Sichuan Army's artillery fire.

To think they have actually started an artillery strike now.

"Chief of Staff!"

"It is firing much better than the artillery of our Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army."

"Then we must conduct suppressive artillery fire."

"Guo Laoge!" Yu Hua looked at him, "This Zhou Xun is, after all, a graduate of the Whampoa Artillery Branch."

Yanagawa Heisuke could only give up.

Wang Tiedan shouted happily: "This time, we hit almost everything."

Liu Dashuai's direct troops also have proper artillery, not some amateur outfit.

As the Commander of the 10th Army, he had just been scolded by the domestic General Headquarters.

Yu Hua was also very fortunate to have come to the 22nd Group Army.

What a pity!

Now under the artillery fire of the Republic of China Army, the remaining Transport Ships were also rapidly rushing toward the shore.

"Adjust the coordinates."

"Any artilleryman who can operate this Mountain Gun is an expert."

Yanagawa Heisuke drew his Command Sword and, with one stroke, chopped down a wooden post on the deck.

Any Transport Ship targeted by the Artillery Battalion was hit almost every time.

Seawater flooded the cabin, and the Transport Ship was sinking.

This bunch of idiots in the Navy are simply a cancer to the Imperial Army.

"The little Japanese devils are all scared."

The little Japanese devils in the Jinshanwei Sea Area also knew that this was the Sichuan Army beginning their artillery bombardment.

There was simply no time to rescue the fallen Imperial Warriors.

"Regimental Commander!"

When firing the guns, they actually adopted a three-point-one-line method.

If they failed to land again today, he estimated that Commander Shan Shan Yuan would be even angrier.

At that time, in the 22nd Group Army, Yu Hua discovered the Sichuan Army's artillery.

On the Aircraft Carrier.

After a loud boom, a column of water splashed up in the Jinshanwei Sea Area.

"This Bofors Mountain Gun was purchased by Principal Chiang at a great cost."

On the sea surface!

The shells fell, and the Transport Ship, which had already been locked on, was hit by the artillery fire.

They had thought that yesterday's counter-landing by the Sichuan Army had been thoroughly figured out.

12 Bofors Mountain Guns!

This must be the Imperial Warriors calling for help!

"The Navy units have already finished the calculations just now."

The Japanese commanders shouted: "Do not worry!"

As long as one Transport Ship was destroyed, the Sichuan Army soldiers would all applaud happily.

Seeing their own artillery being so effective, several Regimental Commanders of the Sichuan Army in the command post.

Seeing this scene, Yanagawa Heisuke's face turned even darker.

Through the Telescope, Yanagawa Heisuke and Tanabe Moritake saw over a hundred Transport Ships.

After adjusting the coordinates, Zhou Xun issued the order to fire again.

A few minutes later, he came to Yanagawa Heisuke's side again and lowered his head: "Your Excellency, Commander."

Ripples of waves kept rolling outward.

Now there were only fifty left!

Inside the temporary command post.

Yanagawa Heisuke shouted loudly: "You... hurry up and think of a way?"

They can't afford to be bombed anymore!

"This Zhou Xun's Artillery Battalion has good accuracy."

"I have already asked Dai Chuanxin to step up training; fortunately, he is from a proper artillery background."

The Japanese soldiers still kept approaching the coast.

Each round of artillery fire would take out 9 to 12 Transport Ships, even though the Japanese had many Transport Ships.

The Imperial Warriors were constantly screaming in the seawater; even from this distance, Yanagawa Heisuke knew it.

The artillery position was even specifically placed on the ridgeline of the hill.

When Tanabe Moritake was reporting to Yanagawa Heisuke.

Several more Transport Ships on the sea surface sank.

A few soldiers were flustered and bumped into each other, falling flat on their faces on the deck.

A piercing sound wave came from the sky.

One after another they sank to the bottom of the sea, and several old devils were so angry they stomped their feet.

The 12 Bofors Mountain Guns were also exerting their maximum power at this moment.

"If we don't deal with the Sichuan Army's artillery, the remaining Transport Ships will also be blown up."

The exasperated Yanagawa now ordered all the little devils to find a way.
