"Fire!"

"Tom...... Tong...... Tom ......"

On the artillery position of a field a few kilometers outside the city, a continuous burst of artillery sounded, and the roar of 54 105-caliber howitzers and 27 155-mm howitzers almost shook the entire land, and the thunderous sound of the cannon tore through the dull earth.

Clusters of white smoke and orange flames flashed on the artillery position. The sound of the cannon arrived a little later than the firelight, and soon became an impenetrable roar with the screech of cannonballs across the air.

The movement was so earth-shattering, as if the whole sky was a big drum, and countless sledgehammers were constantly striking on it, and even though the gunners were wearing earplugs, their ears were still shaking, and the ground under their feet was shaking rapidly.

"Whoosh......"

In about ten seconds, the bunkers of the Japanese army outside the north of the city first exploded into a cloud of light and smoke, and then the bright spots turned into a sea of smoke and smoke, forming black smoke.

"Everyone hurry up and lie down......"

Listening to the sound of shells piercing the sky in the sky, the experienced Japanese officers and veterans hurriedly ordered the soldiers around them to lie down or hide in bunkers.

"Boom!"

As soon as many Japanese soldiers fell to the ground, they heard explosions from time to time. The explosion was accompanied by a strong heat wave, which was so strong that it almost blew people away. The ground began to shake, and the explosion made everyone's ears ring, and they couldn't hear anything but the dull explosion.

A second lieutenant named Yusuke Otake, who was lying on the ground, saw that the private who was originally hiding in a foxhole didn't know what stupid he had made, and suddenly stood up, and as soon as he stood up, Yusuke Otake saw that the private quickly fell to the ground again, but the private's head was gone.

"Boom...... Rumble...... Boom"

Looking at the private who had lost his head, Yusuke Otake heard the sound coming into his ears and began to make it clearer, and the dense explosions coming from his side were far beyond Yusuke Otake's imagination, and the explosions were even denser than the previous artillery shelling of the empire. The clear sky that accompanied the explosion was immediately shrouded in black smoke, and the sound of "whooshing" from the fragments that had been blown away came to my ears, and more importantly, the screams of nearby soldiers.

"Amaterasu! Help me! ”

"Taro ......"

Yusuke Otake, who was lying on the ground and didn't even dare to move, screamed one after another, and one by one the fortifications and pillboxes that they had been desperately building in the past few days were blasted into the sky by violent explosions. Suddenly, a scream came, and he turned his head to see that it was one of his soldiers, so he shouted loudly for this soldier to come to him, but he soon saw that this soldier's legs had been blown away, and red mist-like blood was spurting out from the broken leg. Seeing all this, Yusuke Otake couldn't help but feel a thrill in his heart, looking at the corpses and severed arms that could be seen everywhere in front of him, Yusuke Otake felt a heat between his legs, and a stream of liquid flowed out of his legs.

"Adjust 0.3 degrees to the right and extend thirty meters ......."

Staying in the observation balloon basket in mid-air, an observer was observing the impact point with the artillery mirror, and as he watched, he informed the artillery below through the walkie-talkie to adjust the firing element.

For the artillery regiment's artillerymen, the observers in this observation balloon basket are their eyes, and it is they who direct the artillery to carry out precise shelling of enemy positions in order to inflict maximum damage on the enemy.

"Boom, boom......"

Looking at the explosions in the distance and the black smoke raised by the explosions that filled the originally clear area north of Nanchang City, listening to the dense explosions coming from the front, all the officers who were watching the shelling were extremely excited in their hearts.

"Cannonballs, quick! Load the shells quickly! Hurry up! ”

Bai Hongshan, who personally went into battle, stood shirtless next to an M101 105mm self-propelled howitzer at this time. Wearing only a pair of military trousers, he closed the bolt as soon as he saw the shells loaded into the barrel, and then shouted loudly to the ammunition hand behind him.

At this time, Bai Hongshan did not know that the firing power of his howitzer had passed the usual training. He only felt that the speed of shooting was too slow, so he simply wrapped his right hand in a towel and pushed the bullet without using a bullet stick, without noticing that his hand had been blistered and peeled off by the cannon chamber with a temperature of hundreds of degrees.

At this time, the sky of Nanchang City, which was originally extremely clear, had been shrouded in gunpowder smoke after the explosion, and the earth was still shaking under the shelling. Many positions, pillboxes, and fortifications that the Japanese army hastily built in the past few days were destroyed in this shelling, and many ammunition stockpiling points were also devastated.

At this time, under the devastating bombardment of more than 80 howitzers, the earth in the north of Nanchang was trembling. Front-line observers could even see the shattered corpses that had been blown away.

Looking at the Japanese position in the distance, which seemed to have been destroyed by countless people, Chen Anbao and the officers of the 29th Army around him all gasped. Liu Ruming, commander of the 143rd Division, grinned and exclaimed: "My good man, it's only been a few minutes, how many shells do you have to fire to make such a fierce fire!" ”

"Yes, I've been fighting for most of my life, and it's the first time I've seen such a fierce artillery fire, it's a pleasure!" Feng Zhi'an, the commander of the 38th Division on the side, was also elated.

Unlike these officers under his command, Chen Anbao looked at Su Jin, who was silent, with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes, thinking about how good it would be if Su Jin and this independent brigade could be included in the twenty-nineth, but he was extinguished by himself as soon as he rose this year, and he knew very well that such an elite armed and powerful army with strong combat effectiveness was not something that a ragtag army like him could control.

Ten minutes had passed since the shelling, Chen Anbao looked at the explosion that still showed no signs of stopping, and couldn't help but say to Su Jin: "Brigade Commander Su, is the shelling really going on for half an hour?" ”

"Of course, isn't that what you said a long time ago?" Su Jin turned his head and looked at him strangely.

"It's not...... Didn't I think shelling was a waste of shells for too long! Chen Anbao smiled a little wryly.

Su Jin was not surprised by Chen Anbao's performance, after all, most of the Huaxia army was used to living a hard life, due to the shortage of artillery and shells, the shells fired in a battle were pitiful, for Huaxia at this stage, a 105 caliber shell is enough for an ordinary person's annual income, and they have long been accustomed to living a careful life.
