The bright fireball rose upwards, even making the originally dim sky suddenly brighten, as if morning had arrived earlier.
Taking a big step in surprise, Major General Xiong Chuan's eyes widened, and his lips trembled as he looked at the rising fireball.
No, bastard... no, that's my logistics base.
"General, our attack..."
The chief of staff ran to him and asked.
"Continue, continue the attack. This level of harassment will not affect our attack at all. As long as we capture the Sihang Warehouse, the harassment will stop. In addition, the logistics base must be on alert."
"Yes, Major General."
The chief of staff responded, taking a few steps to the telephone and shaking the handle.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden burst of gunfire from the logistics base, and it even tended to become more and more intensive.
"Quick, call the nearby garrison to quickly support the logistics base."
Garrison nearby.
The chief of staff felt bitter in his heart. For this early morning attack, almost all the troops that could be mobilized had been deployed. As a result, the troops stationed in the rear were not only small, but also extremely scattered.
Originally, on this battlefield where victory was imminent, it was nothing at all, but who knew that a lone army of four lines would be so difficult to fight, and could even send people to harass them.
These hateful guys are simply like hateful fleas, which are deeply disgusting.
Just as the chief of staff was on the phone, a louder bang suddenly shocked him.
"Ah, what is that? That is our logistics base..."
This time the explosion was bigger and more brilliant than the previous one which exploded with tens of millions of fireballs.
A fireball rose up, and then a balloon-shaped shock wave appeared outside the fireball, visible to the naked eye, and rapidly expanded outward.
The expanding shock wave swept outwards, mixed with various debris flying outwards,
"Get down...sir...quickly..."
The chief of staff's reaction must be said to be quick. The explosion made him startled, and then he rushed straight towards the Marine Corps major general who had been standing in front of the window.
But how could he know what the Major General was thinking at this moment:
If only I could be injured on the battlefield like Captain Funagi, and use my body to withstand such shock waves...
After all, battle wounds are not like seppuku.
However, before the "sweet dream" in his heart could be completed, a majestic body rushed over and pressed him down.
"Bang bang... a sputtering sound..."
Various debris mixed with the shock wave fell on the building that served as the command post. The faint sound of shattering of the remaining glass was heard, and the sharp screams of the injured were heard.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
There was more than one explosion in the logistics base, and various artillery shells and bullets that exploded after the big explosion kept ringing out. Not only that, there was also the sound of fierce exchanges of fire coming from the logistics base.
Prisoner of war camp!
A terrible thought passed through the minds of Major General Isamu Kumagawa and the Chief of Staff, that is, the prisoners of war had received weapons, and they had changed from lambs waiting to be slaughtered to tigers out of the box.
"Bastard...bastard...bastard..."
Major General Xiong Chuan, who was pinned down by the chief of staff, banged his fist on the ground and cursed bastards one after another. I really don't know whether he was cursing bad luck or the chief of staff who put him to death.
"General, what should we do now?"
The chief of staff got up from Xiong Chuanyong and asked Xiong Chuanyong.
The question now is, since the logistics base has been bombed, can the offensive battle at hand be fought?
If we fight, where can we mobilize troops to capture the defeated troops who have weapons behind them?
If you don't fight, then...
Thinking of this, the Chief of Staff seemed to think of something terrible, that is, he seemed to have ruined some "plan" of His Majesty the Major General. When he thought of this, he lowered his head in fear.
"You, immediately take my guards and everyone you can find to capture all the prisoners and send them back to the prison camp. After completing this task, go to the beach to find all the ammunition you can find, and quickly transport it to the battle line.
"
The chief of staff breathed a sigh of relief. It was dangerous to capture armed prisoners of war.
But it is more dangerous to stay here and face the Major General who may be angry.
"Hi"
After saluting Major General Isamu Kumagawa, he was swept out of the headquarters like a whirlwind, and then the chief of staff's shouts came from outside the headquarters.
Looking helplessly at the logistics base where the fighting was going on in chaos, Major General Xiong Chuanwei sighed secretly and came to the artillery mirror to observe the battlefield.
At this moment, his artillery team was still firing poison gas shells at the Four Thousand Warehouse at its maximum rate of fire, but he knew that this frequency of attacks would soon be unable to be maintained.
There are still a lot of ordinary artillery shells on the front line, especially those from anti-aircraft guns. They should be able to continue to suppress the Sihang Warehouse. By then...
At the moment, he can only hope that the chief of staff can lead the troops in the rear and eliminate the stragglers composed of prisoners on the logistics front as soon as possible.
As long as the logistics supply can be restored, then maybe this all-out attack...
With these thoughts in mind, I looked forward through the artillery mirror.
It can be seen clearly in the morning light that the Sihang Warehouse looks like a big tumor at this moment, especially in the final stage of the tumor, green pus-like yellow-green smoke continues to pour out from all the holes.
And until now...
Suddenly he saw Sihang Warehouse, with a few shooting lights flashing on the building that was emitting yellow and green smoke.
He adjusted the magnification of the lens, and the four rows of warehouse buildings became clear in the lens almost instantly.
Sniper, the most hateful sniper...
From the beginning of the battle, he received numerous reports from the attacking troops that there were a large number of snipers in the Sihang Warehouse.
There were so many machine gunners, grenade launchers, officers, and orderlies that there were massive casualties. Soldiers without officers would be like a herd of horses without a leader, and would instantly lose their combat objectives.
Fortunately, he had already dealt with this matter during this attack.
Officers don't need command swords and wear the uniforms of ordinary soldiers. It's a pity... too many officers were injured or killed in the early attacks. Many of the current officers are officers who got off the battleship.
He did not doubt the loyalty or prestige of these officers, but he was worried about how effective these officers who were unfamiliar with the land warfare battlefield could be.
Of course, at this moment, Higashikawa Yohei of the Marine Corps and the remnants of his Higashikawa troops have also been sent out. I just hope...
Thinking of this, he reduced the magnification of the artillery scope and expanded its field of view.
At the same time, adjust its viewing angle and place it on the emplacement of the artillery that is firing.
Sure enough, as the gunners at the gun emplacement fell from time to time,
"Bastards...bastards...those most disgusting bastards actually managed to snipe at a distance of eight hundred meters."
At present, in order to avoid casualties, his artillery team deployed artillery positions near the starting line of the infantry attack, but he never expected that the snipers on the opposite side could actually hit the target 800 meters away.
In fact, it was not a sniper kill at all, but with the addition of sniper rifles captured on the battlefield and the addition of more sharpshooters, the total number of snipers in Sihang Warehouse exceeded fifty.
