    The sudden artillery battle across the Taiwan Strait caught people off guard. There was no warning in advance, leaving the Kinmen defenders at a loss and causing heavy casualties.

    Zhang Xian and Xiong Sanwa had been lying in the pit that had been blasted by a shell, holding their heads tightly with both hands, trying to get up, but there was no chance.  At the beginning, the whistling sound of cannonballs carried by the wind could still be heard. Later, deafening explosions came from all directions, and other sounds were no longer heard.  Although the two people also covered their ears protectively when holding their heads, the loud roaring sound still made them feel that their eardrums were about to be shattered.  There was also a buzzing sound in the head, and there was only smoke and dust in front of my eyes, so I might as well close my eyes tightly.  The mud on their bodies fell from the sky like a heavy rain, and in an instant, half of their bodies were buried, making them feel difficulty breathing, as if it was the end of the world.

    This first wave of bombardment lasted for a full fifteen minutes. Finally, the bombardment weakened a little. However, Zhang Xian's mind became unusually clear. He immediately got up from the mud, no longer caring about the dirt on his face and body.  , turned around and asked urgently: "Sanwa! Sanwa! How are you?"

    Finally, Sanwa's somewhat muffled reply came from a dirtbag behind: "I'm fine! Brother, how are you?" As he said that, Xiong Sanwa's big head came out of the ground, and it was also with him.  Zhang Xian's head was covered with dirt.

    "I'm fine too!" Zhang Xian was relieved and continued to climb up. At this time, he realized that his legs were a little painful, and he couldn't care about anything else at the moment, and then ran towards the headquarters.

    Xiong Sanwa also got up from the ground and followed him, and the two of them ran that way one after the other.

    ¡°After running a few steps, Zhang Xian suddenly stopped and stared at a corpse on the ground in a daze.  Xiong Sanwa caught up from behind and came up a little strangely. Only then did he realize that the person who was killed was the American consultant Sheehan who had made him angry for a long time in the afternoon. But at this time, he was lying there motionless.  His head was hit by shrapnel and was almost blown to pieces. He was already out of breath. There were still things scattered around him, especially a wallet with a lot of US dollars in it.  Several of them fell in front of and behind him, and many were covered with sand and mud.  Obviously, he also felt danger after the shells rang out, so he ran back from the seaside desperately like them. However, his life was not good, and he happened to be hit by fragments of the bomb.

    "His life was really bad. God wouldn't spare him. He died before the money was used up, and he took nothing with him. Even if he kept so many dollars, what's the use!" Xiong Sanwa endured.  He kept talking, maybe with some emotion, maybe with some ridicule.

    Zhang Xian turned to look at him and said nothing. Although what Sanwa said made sense, saying it at this time made him feel a little cold-blooded. After all, everyone was already dead, so it would be sarcastic to say these words.  Suspected.

    On the side, several soldiers in the trenches also stuck their heads out from the trenches. These people's legs and feet are considered to be nimble and they can jump into the trenches to avoid bombs at the first time, so their lives will definitely be better than others.  big.  However, even if you hide in the trench, you are not necessarily safe. This section of the trench is already buried under soil, and it is unknown whether anyone is buried alive in it.

    "You guys come here!" Zhang Xian ordered loudly: "Drag the body of this American consultant into the trench!"

    "Yes!" A squad leader jumped out with his head and two people dragging the dead body.

    Xiong Sanwa was a little confused and asked: "Everyone is dead, why do you care so much about this guy?"

    Zhang Xian glared at him and told him: "He is an American no matter what. He came all the way from the United States to help us, and now he dies here. We can't do anything else, but he should be allowed to die anyway."  The corpse should be more complete! Otherwise, if it is placed here, if the enemy fires another round of artillery fire, it is very likely that they will not be found!"

    Xiong Sanwa was silent.

    Zhang Xian did not forget to warn the people dragging the corpse: "You guys, please move faster. In a few minutes at most, the enemy will probably fire!"

    Hearing what Zhang Xian said, these soldiers moved quickly.

    Just as Zhang Xian said, the pause in this wave only lasted five or six minutes. Just after Zhang Xian and Xiong Sanwa ran a few dozen meters away, the artillery on the other side roared again. Zhang Xian decisively  Jumped into the trench and hid in the bomb shelter; Xiong Sanwa followed closely and jumped into the shelter.??A bridge under construction!  "

    Zhang Xian nodded, without thinking, this order must have been issued by Deputy Commander Zhao.

    However, Xiong Sanwa couldn't help laughing at the side. Everyone's eyes turned to him, not knowing what he was laughing at.  He also felt that it was a bit excessive, and quickly closed his mouth, but he still couldn't help but muttered: "War in the heart? Haha, it's already this time, why don't you forget about the war in the heart? What's the use?"

    Zhang Xian knew that the so-called artillery propaganda bomb was to hollow out the explosive in the center of the artillery shell, then stuff it with Kuomintang propaganda leaflets, and then fire it out from the cannon. What was actually shot was the propaganda leaflet.  Thinking about it, it's no wonder that Xiong Sanwa laughed. At this time, it is indeed inappropriate to fire artillery and bombs. Just imagine, can this prevent the enemy on the other side from firing artillery here?  But when he thought about it carefully, he realized that this matter was not funny at all.  After all, their 105 cannons have a limited range and cannot hit the other side of the strait at all. Since the artillery shells are much lighter than real artillery shells, they shoot farther, so they can be hit with 105 cannons. Deputy Commander Zhao said so  The arrangement was really made out of helplessness. He was unwilling to let so many of their 105 howitzers sit idle.

    Zhang Xian was too lazy to explain to Xiong Sanwa and others. He turned around and saw the 155 howitzer being fired on one side. Since this kind of gun was newly installed in Kinmen and it was a new type of weapon, it really knew how to use it.  Not many people use it.  But now, under such urgent conditions, an artilleryman went into battle. The scene was lively, but the actual effect was not good.

    While he was watching, two 155 guns stopped, and the gunners over there were stunned and didn't know what they were doing.

    "What's going on over there?" Company Commander Shao also felt strange and loudly asked the artilleryman who stopped firing.

    An artilleryman quickly replied: "The breech of this gun can't be opened or closed. I don't know what's going on. It can't be fired!"

    Another one also followed: "The same is true for my cannon, so I had to stop it!"

    Company Commander Shao didn¡¯t think much about it, and immediately ordered: ¡°What are the others looking at? Fight back quickly!¡±

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The sounds of "ding-dang-dang" and "dang-dang-dang" were heard endlessly, and other cannons rang again.  Zhang Xian walked to one of the cannons that had stopped firing and inspected it carefully. His hand touched the breech block, and he immediately retracted it. He turned to Captain Shao and shouted: "Stop, stop everyone."  !¡±

    Everyone looked at him blankly, and the other three 155 howitzers had to stop. At this time, these guns were almost identical to the two in front and could not be fired at all.

    "What's going on?" Company Commander Shao quickly ran over and asked Zhang Xian.

    Zhang Xian pointed at the cannon breech and said to him: "Look at it, it's all red. It's deformed and stuck. If you keep firing like this, all the cannons will be scrapped!"

    Captain Shao slapped his head suddenly, suddenly thought of something, and said with great regret: "Oh, I forgot, this cannon is new. The American consultant said that after firing a shell, tighten the breech of the gun  You must use cold water to clean and cool down!¡±

    Zhang Xian and Xiong Sanwa were speechless. It seemed that as soon as the cannon fired, the artillerymen who were firing vigorously did not remember to clean and cool down the cannon?  After fighting so happily for a while, these newly purchased state-of-the-art cannons were already disabled.

    Company Commander Shao also realized that the matter was serious. At this time, he could only bite the bullet and order the gunners to continue firing propaganda bombs. Now this is the only way to maintain a temporary psychological balance.

    The artillery shells also flew towards the other side like a rain, but who knew that it would be better if they didn't fight. This fight, while not destroying the opponent's artillery position, also exposed their own position. Within a few days,  Within minutes, artillery fire from the other side was poured out in an overwhelming manner, regardless of size.

    Hearing the whistling of artillery shells, Zhang Xian couldn't help shouting: "Everyone, hurry up and get into the air-raid shelter!"

    When his shouts fell, everyone quickly dropped what they were doing and crawled into the air-raid shelter as if they were running for their lives. Just as they entered, they heard the explosions outside again.  There was a fire, and the whole earth trembled together.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
