On the Little Japanese side, the first to appreciate the spectacular scene of "thousands of artillery fire" was the Japanese artillerymen of the Fourth Brigade of the Independent Field Artillery, which was very close at hand.
When rockets were launched one after another from the launch positions of the rocket artillery battalion, and when the tail flames ejected from the tails of the rockets filled the entire night sky, it was difficult for the Japanese artillerymen guarding various artillery positions not to see them.
Seeing this scene, the Japanese artillerymen stationed at various artillery positions were frightened.
In modern warfare, in addition to carrying out sudden strikes on large-area targets, annihilating a large number of enemy troops and destroying a large number of enemy technical equipment, rocket launchers also have an additional additional strike effect, which is to give enemy officers and soldiers a great spiritual boost.
Such a psychological shock that it directly destroyed his fighting spirit!
Inevitably, the Japanese artillerymen of the Fourth Field Heavy Artillery Brigade also suffered severe psychological damage.
Looking at the rows of flames flying across the sky, these Japanese artillerymen were all dumbfounded. ***Gayalu, what the hell is this?"
"Are these fireworks? The Chinese are setting off fireworks?"
"No, how could there be so many fireworks?"
"Idiot, these are not fireworks, this is Chinese people shooting cannons!"
"Baga, you are the idiot. How many cannons do you need to have such an effect? How can the Chinese have so many cannons?"
"God, what on earth is this?"
Compared with the Japanese artillerymen who were stunned and at a loss, the commanders at all levels of the Fourth Field Heavy Artillery Brigade were obviously much more sober, especially the brigade commander and the commander of the Field Artillery Guards Regiment, who instantly realized what was going on.
It turned out that the artillery of the Songhu Independent Regiment was conducting a bombardment, and the artillery position was not far away.
After realizing this, the two old devils almost went crazy.
The Chinese were so arrogant that they directly set up artillery positions less than one kilometer away from their artillery positions. This simply did not take them seriously, so these two old devils immediately ordered the artillery to fire on the Chinese artillery.
However, after receiving the order, the Japanese artillerymen at various artillery positions were all dumbfounded.
Because the field howitzers equipped by the Fourth Field Heavy Artillery Brigade not only have a maximum range, but also a minimum range. When the target distance is less than the minimum range, it cannot shoot. The only solution may be to use the howitzer as a cannon.
, Aim straight, but this won't work, because there is an infantry position blocking the artillery position. If it were really a straight shot, the Chinese would have destroyed the infantry defensive positions outside the artillery position before they could fire.
As a result, the Japanese on the artillery position could only stare. At this time, it was too late to move their position.
These little Japs didn't know that this was Xu Rui's deliberate decision. Xu Rui had long considered the threat from the Japs' 4th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, so he specifically chose the launch level of the rocket launcher at the Japs' Field Heavy Artillery positions.
In front of our eyes, this has another advantage: it also avoids the threat of the 7th Field Artillery Regiment.
Because at night, when shelling without the guidance of observers, the artillery shells fired by the 7th Field Artillery Regiment could easily accidentally damage the artillery positions of the 4th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade. Therefore, the 4th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade
The Japs in the regiment, from the brigade commander to the private, could only stand there and watch.
(Dividing line)
The next person to enjoy the spectacular scene of "thousands of artillery firing" was the headquarters of the Twelfth Army.
At the beginning, Itagaki Seishiro was sitting in the war room with Tanaka Kuichi, Ogahara Junsi, and the old gods, waiting for good news from the front. In order to pass the time, Itagaki Seishiro even asked his adjutant to bring a tea set.
He performed his tea art for Tanaka and Okahara, but before he could boil the tea, it suddenly dawned!
"Hey, why did it suddenly light up?" Itagaki Seishiro felt a little strange at first. It seemed that the time now was only around two or three in the morning, so why did it get bright already? This is unscientific.
The next moment, Itagaki Seishiro suddenly realized why the sky was red.
Tanaka Kuichi and Ogawara Junsi noticed something abnormal at the same time, and they turned to look out the window. Then, they saw an extremely spectacular and terrifying scene. It was like a large wave of meteors and fire rain falling from the sky.
Like a large flaming cloud, it rolls over from the eastern sky and seems to burn the whole world!
"Baga!" Tanaka Jiuyi cursed like a whisper from his throat, and he suddenly sat up on his knees.
Oluhara Junsi jumped up and came to the window in a flash, looking up in surprise.
"What's going on?" Itagaki Seishiro also stood up and walked to the window, confused, "What is it?"
"Your Excellency, Commander!" Tanaka Jiuichi seemed to have some taste for it and said, "Do you still remember how the survivors of the 1st Guards Infantry Regiment described the bombardment of the Songhu Independent Regiment?"
"Nani?" Itan Seishiro was stunned when he heard this and couldn't answer.
But Oluhara Junsi replied: "The survivors of the First Guards Infantry Regiment originally described the artillery bombardment of the Songhu Independent Regiment like this: The whole sky was filled with red flames, as if the whole sky was on fire.
Then, these flames fell on our defensive positions one after another and exploded. Along with the explosion of flames, countless steel shrapnel fell down like dense raindrops. There was nowhere to hide and no one was immune...
…”
Itagaki Seishiro shivered in excitement. Was it really a Chinese bombardment?
No, this is impossible! Itagaki Seishiro shook his head and quickly drove this thought out of his mind.
How is this possible? Even if the Songhu Independent Regiment really has artillery, there is only one artillery battalion in the sky. How can the artillery bombardment of one artillery battalion have such an effect?
Itagaki Seishiro didn't believe it until his death, but Tanaka Kuichi did.
"Okahara-kun!" Tanaka Kuichi shouted before the meteors and fire rain fell from the sky, "Quick, you immediately protect the commander and hide in the underground shelter! Immediately!"
"Hai!" Ogawara Junsi also realized the seriousness of the situation. He immediately walked up to Itagaki Seishiro, paused heavily and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, please move immediately!"
"No, I won't go!" Itagaki Seishiro flatly refused, "I won't go anywhere!"
Oluhara Junsi looked at Tanaka Jiuichi, and Tanaka Jiuichi nodded slightly.
With the acquiescence of Tanaka Kuichi, Ogahara Junsi couldn't help but forcibly carried Itagaki Seishiro and left. Itagaki Seishiro was short and old, and how could he defeat the tall, young and strong Ogahara Junsi?
Si, he was soon forcibly dragged into the underground shelter.
But Tanaka Jiuichi couldn't hide, he had to stay in the war room.
After a while, the meteors and fire showers roared down from the sky.
This meteor shower is really composed of countless flames, and these flames explode when they touch the ground.
In an instant, Tanaka Jiuichi's field of vision was completely filled with continuous explosions, and his eardrums were also completely filled with violent roars. Tanaka Jiuichi saw with his own eyes that the house of the Communications Department was hit by a spark, and then
There was a loud explosion, and the whole house collapsed instantly amid the flames flying across the sky.
At this time, if you look down at the headquarters of the Japanese Twelfth Army from a high altitude, you will see an extremely spectacular and magnificent scene. With Zhenru Station as the center, an area of two kilometers has been completely reduced to a sea of flames.
, and from time to time there were balls of flames blooming violently in the raging sea of fire.
This scene is no less than hell on earth!
The little devils from the Twelfth Army Headquarters were running and wailing in the flames of hell.
"It's not good, run away..." Several wounded Japanese soldiers struggled to escape from the ward, but before they could run a few steps, a rocket dropped from the sky with a piercing scream, and then exploded with a loud bang, causing an explosion.
The air wave instantly destroyed the entire courtyard to pieces, and several wounded Japanese soldiers were also thrown to the ground.
"Don't panic, Baga, hold on, don't panic at all..." A Japanese officer waved his saber and tried to suppress the guards at the headquarters. However, before he could finish his words, a rocket dropped from the sky.
An explosion exploded next to the Japanese officer, and the air wave generated by the explosion tore the Japanese officer into pieces in one fell swoop.
In the arsenal, the scene was even more terrifying. The first wave of rockets fell, triggering a series of explosions of ammunition stored in the arsenal. In an instant, the entire arsenal exploded into a sea of flames. The scene when viewed from a high altitude
Most of the scenes of hellfire were caused by the explosion of ammunition depots.
Just one salvo almost completely destroyed the headquarters of the Twelfth Army of the Japanese Army. The arsenal and field hospital next to the headquarters of the Twelfth Army of the Japanese were not spared. In an instant, the Twelfth Army's headquarters was destroyed.
The headquarters, field hospitals and arsenals were in chaos. However, this was just the beginning.
A quarter of an hour later, before the little devil here could calm down, another wave of meteors and fire showers flew over from the sky.
Seeing the burning meteors and fire showers sweeping over from the eastern sky like a curtain of flames, including Tanaka Jiuichi, every Japanese in the Twelfth Army Headquarters fell into a deep trap.
In despair, such bombings are really disappointing, making people feel panic and helpless from the depths of their souls.
Baga! Tanaka Jiu watched helplessly as a flame fell from the sky and magnified rapidly in his field of vision, but he had no intention of hiding at all. Where could he hide? This shower of meteors and fire almost covered the surrounding area.
Within a five-kilometer range, how could he escape five kilometers away in an instant? Absolutely impossible!
Then, the flames gathered in the yard in front of Tanaka Jiuichi and exploded with a bang.
Then, Tanaka Jiuichi's vision turned red, and then he lost consciousness. Faintly, Tanaka Jiuichi felt himself flying.
