Magic three cannons

At the end of the third counter-campaign against encirclement and suppression, our army not only had mortars, but also had Sanqi flat-fire guns. The Red 1 Corps organized two artillery companies and an engineering company into an artillery battalion, with Zhao Zhangcheng as the battalion commander.

In the battle of Huangpi, Zhao Zhangcheng commanded 1 battery. I couldn't see the target clearly in the fog. Zhao Zhangcheng judged from the sound of the enemy's automatic rifle that the enemy's command organ was in Dalongping, immediately adjusted the muzzle and slammed at Dalongping, knocking over the enemy's command organ.

The next day, before the battle was over, a large group of enemies suddenly appeared near the Red 1 Legion. At that time, the Red 1 Corps only had radio personnel and the 2nd Artillery Company, and Zhao Zhangcheng hurried to meet them with more than 20 capable soldiers. Unexpectedly, these enemies mistook Zhao Zhangcheng for one of their own and arrested more than 500 people in a daze.

On the way to the Long March, Zhao Zhangcheng's mortars showed their power. In the Battle of Wujiang River, Yang Dezhi Regiment 1 forced crossing and night smuggling failed, and forced crossing for the second time during the day, and Zhao Zhangcheng commanded the artillery battalion to provide fire support.

After simple visual inspection and test firing, Zhao Zhangcheng's second shot hit the target accurately, destroying the enemy position that posed a great threat to the troops. Then, he hit the charge formation of the enemy's counter-offensive forces with accurate shelling, and the enemy's counter-charge broke up, and the Red Army crossed the natural barrier Wujiang River.

Zhao Zhangcheng is famous for crossing the Dadu River. At that time, Liu Bocheng and Nie commanded the Yang Dezhi regiment to cross the Dadu River with 17 warriors, and the two sides launched a gun battle. 17 After the warriors landed, they had no reliable positions and were completely exposed to the enemy's intensive fire. Yang Dezhi urgently ordered artillery fire assistance.

There were only three bullets left. Zhao Zhangcheng rolled up his sleeves, straightened his arms, gave a thumbs-up and sang a series of numbers such as direction, altitude and distance.

1 gun exploded in the enemy's counterattack, and No.2 shelled the commander of the enemy line. When the enemy was ready to attack again, the No.3 gun disrupted the enemy formation again. At this time, 17 warriors occupied favorable terrain, and the warriors of No.2 ship also fled ashore.

Zhao Zhangcheng's Three Artillery Corps played an important role in reversing the war situation at the critical moment of decisive battle. This magical three guns will always be recorded in the history of our artillery. Lin Biao once commented: "We should make technology reach the artistic level like Comrade Zhao Zhangcheng."
