In ten minutes of shelling, Zhang Tianquan's troops fired nearly 5,000 shells. In other words, from the beginning of the shelling to the end of this stage, a full 5,000 shells flew over the heads of most of the Japanese on Mianchuan Island. , what a strong psychological deterrent this brought to the little devil,
Let’s not talk about ordinary Japanese soldiers, just talk about Okamura Neji, the second-class senior Japanese officer of Yamada Castle. There is no trace of blood on their faces at this moment. "Your Excellency, what should I do?" Yamamuro Munetake looked at Okamura Neji. , with a look of panic,
"Your Excellency, give the order to retreat, Chinese artillery fire." Before the 11th Division Chief of Staff Katamura Shiba finished speaking, he noticed that the veins on Okamura Neji's face had jumped sharply, and he immediately closed his mouth knowingly. ,
It was still too late. Okamura Neji had already exploded. He glared at Katamura Shihachi and spat at the latter's face: "Retreat, where to retreat? Now, I am still the commander of the 11th Army. Where is the turn here?" When you speak, get out of here, get out of here."
"Hai." Katamura thought that his good advice was regarded as shit by Okamura Neji. His face immediately turned red. However, Okamura Neji was in a furious state and he did not dare to disobey. Yes, he bowed repeatedly and retreated,
"Offensive, only attack, and capture Ouyang Yun, we have a chance of victory. As long as we capture Ouyang Yun and the Chinese people throw a rat weapon, we will win this battle." Neji Okamura roared, and Somu Yamamuro followed closely. He ran out and saw Katamura who was in a state of despair at the door. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "The war situation is too critical. Your Excellency, Commander, has lost his temper. Katamura-kun, please don't take it to heart. "
"I understand, but Your Excellency, please order the retreat as soon as possible. If there are fewer casualties, our 11th Division can still have some seeds left. If it is later, I am worried that the entire army may be wiped out."
Yamamuro Munetake let out a long sigh and said: "I never expected that the war situation would develop to this point. The commander originally wanted to use this to meritorious service, but Katamura, you go call the military police and prepare to evacuate. Matters, if the commander still insists on not leaving, you may as well take coercive measures. Please remember that the commander must not get into trouble. We still underestimated Ouyang Yun. Now I can be sure that all this is simply his calculation. Okay, the reason why he only left this few troops in Madang Fortress is to lure our army to attack, and artillery is his trump card."
Three flares, two red and one green, flashed across the sky. They were quickly discovered by the officers and soldiers of both the attacking and defending sides. One passed to two, and two passed to four. When most people saw these three flares, two completely different types of flares appeared. Emotions began to spread,
As for the Japanese army, including the part near Guantian, the little guys had a bad feeling in their hearts. They watched blankly as the three signal bombs gradually fell to the ground. Suddenly, someone woke up and shouted: "China If people have an ambush, the Chinese must have an ambush." They turned around and looked around, trying to find the "Chinese ambush". However, in addition to the vast Yangtze River water and dense mountains and forests, they couldn't find any ambush or people. Thinking of the shelling just now, "Cannon, cannon, the Chinese are going to fire at us..."
The Japanese troops in the Guantian area were fine. They were still distracted by what had just happened. The Japanese on Mianchuan Island suddenly fell into a collective panic and uneasiness. The middle and lower-level commanders on the front line were still executing their tasks. Okamura Neiji gave the order to attack desperately, but at this time, he found that some of the troops could not be suppressed. They roared loudly and wanted to restrict the order of the troops. However, the number of soldiers was a hundred times or a thousand times as many as them. Among them, they were just one piece. Compared to the water of the Yangtze River, the reefs were strong enough, but they could not stop the flow of the river. They were surrounded by the chaotic crowd, and they could only feel angry.
The "empty" sound of artillery fire finally rang out, and there was no obvious difference from the sound of the artillery fire at that stage just now. However, perhaps he had a premonition that the cannonball was pointing at him. To many Japanese soldiers, this time The sound of the artillery fire was particularly loud. After a while, the sound of the shells breaking through the air began to sound intensively. This time, the judgment of the flight direction of the shells was more accurate. Many Japanese were running around like headless flies. Or they fell down, and the order of the Japanese army's ranks became even more chaotic.
After the signal flare was launched, Zhang Tianquan waited for ten minutes, then suddenly pressed the microphone and shouted: "Launch."
More than five hundred artillery pieces roared at the same time. The next moment, more than five hundred artillery shells broke through the air. The next moment, fireballs began to explode continuously on Mianchuan Island. Then, continuous explosions sounded, and soon, Fires began to burn in large areas on Mianchuan Island...
"Move up half a scale and launch."
"Turn left one tick and launch."
...With every fine-tuning of the shooting elements by Zhang Tianquan, area after area on Mianchuan Island was enveloped by hundreds of artillery shells, and then a sea of fire rose. Every time the area was shelled, there were almost hundreds of Japanese. Those who were unlucky were affected by the explosion, and those who were unlucky experienced the feeling of being a flying bird, and lost their lives in mid-air; those who were more lucky were struck by shrapnel, and their whole bodies were immediately transformed into funnels, and in a moment they became blood gourds.
"Mom,..." Finally some of the Japanese couldn't bear the blow. They knelt on the ground and finally realized that they were a human being and were born of a human being.
There were also Japanese soldiers who shouted the slogan "For His Majesty the Emperor" and continued to bravely rush towards the bunkers. However, suddenly a fireball rose around him. His bravery only made him die more completely. The fireball faded. The flames ignited, and the few running Japs just now were turned into pieces. They will become the best fertilizer on this land.
"Our cannons, look, look, look at those idiots."
"Little devils, you too have today, artillery brothers, fight well and fight hard."
…
If it can be said that the first phase of the bombardment was too far away from Guantian, and the Canaan colonel and his men could only hear the sound but not see the form and did not feel deeply about it, then this round of bombardment on Mianchuan Island brought more excitement. The audio and video effects to their senses were really shocking. Hundreds of artillery shells roared and smashed at the same time. Immediately, an area was plunged into a series of explosions, and then a sea of fire ignited. Many Japanese soldiers thought that they were even closer to the launching site than a cotton ship. The island was still close, and his face suddenly lost all color.
However, what Takahashi Ryoko just said made them feel particularly sentimental and caring about their families. The fighting spirit in their hearts was fading geometrically.
The explosion on Mianchuan Island, as well as the explosion scene that occurred first, made the female soldiers of the Women's Regiment equally frightened. It was the first time they had witnessed such a scene of thousands of guns being fired. Even some bold ones known as "Silly Sisters" The female soldiers were still unable to withstand the psychological deterrent it brought. It was not until this time that they truly saw what war was. They could vaguely see the broken corpses of the Japanese at the top of the fireballs. Many people also understood that it turned out that they were far away from death. so close,
