This guy with a bit of a sissy talk is named Zhu Ming Lishuo. He is a serious clan member of the Zhu family, but he is already very biased. He will be out of the fifth server and not be counted as a clan member.

It is natural to draw lessons from history. No matter what, the later Ming Dynasty would not dare to follow the rule of hereditary succession of princes and grandsons, and changed it to "relegation to noble rank and elimination after five generations" similar to that of Li Tang and Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Interestingly, after the Gaozu Dynasty established this system, a large-scale clan rebellion broke out. The reason was naturally that other Zhu family clans were not happy. But the descendants of the Zhu family continued to push their hips as always. Although they were very vocal, they were put down within a few months and they could only hold their noses and let it go.

At that time, it was a scene where "thousands of Zhu family descendants were expelled from the clan, removed from the jade plate, given property to make a living on their own, and left home with tears in their eyes".

At this moment, Zhu Lizhuo said with some surprise: "Oh? You want to show your skills? Okay, let's open our eyes."

Guiding long-range bombardment is by no means as simple and casual as shown in movies and TV shows. The process of indirect shooting can be described as very cumbersome.

There are four main types of indirect fire methods: simple method, precision method, results method, and optimal and complementary method. Before firing, the artillery must make a series of preparations such as reconnaissance coordinates, humidity and temperature, query of the firing table, and calculation of various elements.

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Changfeng asked Xiao Li to hold the telephone and rangefinder, while he held the artillery steering wheel in one hand and a map and slide rule in the other. The two of them ran to a window on the second floor of the post office.

He held the microphone on the right side of his face with his shoulder, tilted his head and looked at the map while asking, "Hello? Give me the coordinates of the command post."

"Horizontal, 3503, 2150."

The indirect aiming methods are similar. The only thing that needs to be noted is that the Ming army's densification system is the same as that of the Western army, which is 6400 dens per week, while the Soviet Union and China use 6000 dens per week.

Zhou Changfeng picked up the small optical rangefinder and measured his distance to the enemy's circular position and the distance to his own artillery command post. He then used the steering wheel to determine the shooting direction, and then quickly determined the battle formation for continuous testing.

He took a deep breath and said: "The viewing distance is 1780 meters, the altitude is 32 meters, the enemy's second-line artillery position, kill explosive bombs, and calibrate fire."

"receive."

After a while, the staff officers and calculators in the artillery command post immediately began to calculate the shooting elements. The calculation plates and slide rules were sliding and the pencils were squeaking.

After Zhu Yuan's calculations were completed, the mountain artillery camp and the field artillery camp immediately organized test firings.

After two booms, a 112mm artillery shell and an 80mm artillery shell roared out one after another, hitting the front of the enemy's position after flying for a few seconds.

Seeing this, Zhou Changfeng, who was holding the telescope, immediately shouted: "It's off, correct it to 60 mils, kill explosive bombs, use instant fuse, eight shots!"

Zhu Lizhuo, who was drinking water from a kettle, was surprised when he heard this and said: "Are you kidding me? Keep practicing shooting."

The data obtained through the simple method is not accurate. After all, it is called "simple". In this case, it needs to be calibrated and corrected several times to confirm that it can accurately hit the target before firing effectively. Otherwise, it will be a waste of shells.

If you want to shoot directly without calibration, you have to use more complicated methods, such as precision method and optimal complement method, but it is very troublesome - determine the shooting front, direction, depth, interpret weather reports, determine the condition deviation, and modulate the diagram table and so on.

"Since you agree with my command, stop nagging, stop talking nonsense, and hurry up!" Zhou Changfeng urged on the other end of the phone.

Zhu Lizhuo, who was not at ease about this, hesitated for a moment, but followed the instructions based on the trust between brothers.

"Each cannon corrects all elements!"

"Eight quick shots to kill explosive bombs, ready!"

Now, although the bright stars are still dotted on the night sky, the sky in the east has already turned white, and soon those shining stars will end.

The figures of the communication soldiers flashed back and forth on the artillery position, constantly conveying the latest orders. The officers of each artillery team also held telephones to listen and give instructions.

The sun slowly emerged from the horizon, and the first ray of morning light fell on the earth at a speed of 300,000 kilometers per second. On the artillery position four kilometers east of Demaji, there were eighteen 112mm howitzers and eighteen 80mm cannons. They lined up in a row, the muzzles pointed diagonally, and the gunners nearby covered their ears one after another.

"哓哃——哓哃哃——"

For a moment, the earth shook and the mountains shook. Thirty-six barrel artillery roared in unison, and the muzzle flames spewed out like hot flowers blooming.

The time required for howitzer shells and cannon shells to fly to the target from high and low trajectories is also different, but because the distance is not far, it is not obvious.

Suddenly, Zhou Changfeng, who was squatting behind the artillery mirror, saw a series of blooming fireworks, and they bloomed uniformly on the artillery position of the enemy's circular position.

At 6:46, after eight rounds of 288 shells fell, the British-Indian Fourth Artillery Regiment (Battalion) was declared destroyed. Having been suppressed by the Ming army's mortars for a long time, they were completely wiped out on their own position before even firing a few shots.

As the ammunition exploded, all kinds of metal fragments and broken limbs were scattered everywhere. The always proud Lieutenant Arik died quickly and painlessly.

After witnessing all this, Zhou Changfeng, who was full of interest, continued to guide the artillery bombardment. In less than ten minutes, three large holes were made in the circular position of Wilson's task force from the north, northeast, and southeast by ferocious artillery fire.

The shrill whistles and shrill suonas sounded again. Facing the Ming army that surged in like a wave, the frightened British and Indian soldiers lost their will to fight. With nothing to rely on, they began to run involuntarily to the west. , completely ignoring the shouts and screams of the officers and non-commissioned officers.

"Sir, we must break out! Now!"

"Please follow me!"

At the moment before the troops collapsed, Major Sampson and several staff officers took Major General Wilson into off-road vehicles and trucks, preparing to break out.

They were escorted by the relatively well-organized Gurkha Battalion, with a dozen remaining tanks as the core, and they rushed westward, firing blue smoke bombs along the road, and forced a breakout under the cover of the British and Indian Air Force.

In line with the principle of not pursuing the enemy, the 5th Battalion who rushed in did not stop them. After destroying four tanks and killing and wounding dozens of enemy soldiers, they allowed these defeated soldiers to flee westward in panic.

At three o'clock in the morning, the sporadic gunfire finally ended.

Standing on the second floor of the post office, Zhou Changfeng looked at the battlefield in the distance. Within an eccentric circle with Highland Zero as the center, the corpses of both the enemy and our troops were everywhere. The remains of more than a dozen tanks were still burning, and wisps of black smoke were reaching straight. Shoot for the sky.

In the northeast where the fighting was fiercest, a total of hundreds of corpses of Ming army soldiers fell in a square area about one mile long. They were lying down or lying down in various shapes. Some of them were still lying down to take aim, perform close-in operations, and Self-rescue posture.

Seeing this, Zhou Changfeng murmured: "Hey, it's an inevitable price..."

"Grandma, after holding it in for a few days, I feel proud and proud." Xie Wancheng beside him spat and said happily: "The organization no longer exists. This can be reported as total annihilation."
