Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Chapter 438 Terrifying Firepower (2)!

The brigade commander received a telegram from the elite small unit on the front line: "The national army's front is on the verge of collapse."

Following this telegram was a series of coordinates.

Without much hesitation, the brigade commander immediately issued an order: "Artillery units, quickly strike according to the positions assigned on the coordinates.

I am required to cover all these coordinates 5 times within 3 minutes!"

"Yes!"

The commander of the newly established artillery regiment at the headquarters took the coordinate details handed over by the brigade commander and quickly marked them on the map. It was a narrow area of ​​two kilometers long.

"Captain Zhao, I require you to use up all the shells we carry within three minutes, and then quickly pull these artillery pieces away from the battlefield.

I'm going to the infantry battlefield ahead, so I'll leave everything here to you."

The brigade commander said seriously.

Even though they had never engaged in such a large-scale head-on battle with the Japanese before, all the Eighth Route Army had been studying the Japanese's various battle tactics over the years, and they had been preparing for this moment for many years.

Headquarters artillery commander Zhao nodded seriously. He knew the reason for the action the brigade commander mentioned. Once the attack was completed, the artillery positions would be the focus of the Japanese air force's attention.

The brigade commander didn't want to use such violent firepower just once, otherwise he would be completely destroyed by the Japanese planes.

"But, Brigade Commander, are you sure we have to use up all the shells we brought this time?"

As the head of the artillery regiment directly under the headquarters, Captain Zhao knew very well that the artillery shells brought this time were almost all the Eighth Route Army had. Wasn't it a bit too wasteful to use up all the shells in the first battle?

The brigade commander saw the hesitation of the regiment commander Zhao and said: "In this battle, we only have this one chance to bomb with all our strength. If this is the case, why don't we use this opportunity to the fullest?

I know that you, Captain Zhao, may think that I am a spendthrift, but as long as the Liaoyuan Arsenal is here, we will become even more spendthrift in the future!

I would rather exchange 100 tons of shells for the lives of all our soldiers."

"Yes! Commander, I will follow your orders immediately."

"That's right, we must be magnanimous when we fight a big war!"

The brigade commander patted the order from the regiment commander directly under the headquarters, turned around and walked towards the front infantry line in a cool manner.

The outcome of a battle on the battlefield can be decided within a minute. After receiving the full text of coordinates and the brigade commander's order to fire all the shells, the entire artillery regiment dared not be careless in the slightest. They were either quickly calculating the design parameters of the howitzers or considering the propellant equivalent of the extended-range rockets.

In less than a minute, all the gun positions were ready.

"Fire!"

Deafening firing sounds rang out across the entire artillery position. Both the 155mm howitzers and the 107mm rocket launchers showed their most violent side at this time.

The first wave of nearly a hundred artillery shells instantly rose into the air and whistled towards the battlefield 10 kilometers away where the National Army and the Japanese were fighting. These shells would bring the deepest despair to the Japanese.

......

The battle between the Japanese 41th Brigade and the 3st Division and the National Army's 3rd Army has reached the final moment. Under the Japanese's extremely crazy offensive, the 800rd Army's line has been continuously compressed, and it is less than 3 meters away from their rear command post. If the offensive continues at this rate, I am afraid that in less than half an hour, the entire rd Army's defense line will completely collapse.

Just when the soldiers of the 3rd Army were ready to fight the Japanese to the death with despair on their faces, they suddenly heard a sharp whistling sound coming from a very far distance. It was the huge sound caused by the friction between a high-speed object and the air.

The soldiers of the 3rd Army and the Japanese soldiers paused at the same time. They didn't know what the sound meant, because the sound of heavy artillery of such caliber was rarely heard on the battlefield in China.

Only some very experienced veterans changed their expressions instantly, as this kind of sound could only be produced by large-caliber heavy artillery.

An old soldier of the National Army shouted to his comrades: "Hurry up and lie down..."

Before he could finish his words, the first heavy artillery shell had already landed on the Japanese position, and their Type 92 infantry artillery position was the first to be hit.

Boom!

A muffled sound exploded less than 20 meters away from the Japanese Type infantry gun position. A huge shock wave tore towards the Japanese Type infantry gun position. Even though it missed the target, the huge force still blew some Japanese soldiers away.

"What the hell is this? Why is it so fierce?"

The old Yunnan Army soldiers on the front line were stunned. After fighting for so many years, they had never seen such powerful heavy artillery.

The explosion just now seemed to be tearing a hole in the sky.

This was not the only first shell. Following this shell were more than a dozen shells of the same power. These shells seemed to have eyes and all fell on the core position of the Japanese attack.

It is either an infantry artillery position, a heavy machine gun point, or a key node where the Japanese easily gather during the attack.

A careful veteran of the National Army counted and found that heavy artillery of this caliber fired 18 shells in the last round of attack, which means that there were at least 18 heavy artillery pieces pointing at these devils.

When they thought of this, the Yunnan Army soldiers almost cheered.

18 heavy artillery pieces, which is even more powerful than the Japanese's firepower, which means they have an extremely powerful helper.

When they were on the verge of despair, hope was instantly ignited for them, just like a drowning man grabbing the last straw.

They saw with their own eyes that the 18 shells hit the Japanese positions, especially one shell that hit a narrow area where the Japanese were charging.

The shell landed accurately into the group of Japanese soldiers. The shock wave swept across more than a hundred Japanese soldiers, raising a huge cloud of dust. The shell fragments and splashed stones pierced through the bodies of more than a hundred Japanese soldiers with violent force. These flesh and blood bodies were pierced through, and the closest Japanese soldier turned into a pile of minced meat on the spot.

The Japanese soldiers who were a little later in the charge witnessed the horrifying scene with their own eyes. They watched as their companions' clothes were instantly blown to pieces. Then, those Japanese soldiers closest to the shells were hit by the violently compressed air. Their flesh and blood instantly exploded and scattered towards the outer boundary, almost dyeing the surrounding ground within a radius of thirty or forty meters red.

The Japanese soldiers who saw this scene almost collapsed on the spot. They were all crazy. The coolness and calmness during the charge that they were proud of before was gone. They all started roaring wildly. Some of them were even scared to death and dropped their guns and started running back howling.

What the hell is this bullshit Bushido spirit? The reason why we didn’t break through the defense before was because the equivalent of the shell was not big enough.
