Chapter 627: Easy Victory
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The entire position of Whitewater Town, from the original silence and no waves, instantly turned into a roaring sea!
The entire position was directly shrouded in the bombardment of the Japanese army!
Countless dirt was lifted up, countless buildings were directly destroyed under the blow of artillery fire, the shells fell down, and after the explosion, there were large pits of several meters or even more than ten meters left in the same place.
Many soldiers were blown into ashes in an instant under such artillery fire, and even those who were lucky enough to survive were lying dead on the trenches one by one, not even daring to move.
Although their combat effectiveness is not good, they are veterans after all, so they naturally know that on this battlefield, once they encounter artillery bombardment, what they are most afraid of is running around.
The safest thing is to hide where you are and don't go anywhere!
Only in this way can you have a chance of surviving this bombardment!
Remember, it's only possible!
These soldiers didn't even dare to move, they just lay dead on the position, and the temporary headquarters of the provisional 54th Division behind the position, he was also covered at the first moment of the Japanese artillery attack.
Even the division headquarters was hit by a single shell at the first moment, and the whole thing was destroyed.
Fortunately, Zheng Xiaocheng, the division commander at the time, was observing the situation outside and was not hit by a shell, otherwise, he would definitely die!
However, even so, the division headquarters was destroyed by the little devil in the first instant, and none of the staff officers and soldiers inside ran out, but it still made Zheng Xiaocheng's face pale and frightened.
He found that he still regarded the little devil as too simple!
I thought I could hold on for a while to fight the Japanese army before running, but at this time, it seems that they may not even be able to hold on to the end of the shelling!
Zheng Xiaocheng's face was pale, very ugly, he was lying on the ground, he didn't even dare to move, his face was splashed with some blood, this was originally an officer next to him, every shell hit, half of the whole person was blown up, and the splattered blood sprayed on his face, but he didn't even dare to wipe it.
The rich bloody aura drilled directly into his nose, causing Zheng Xiaocheng's brain to be emptied in an instant.
Some of the countermeasures he originally thought of were completely blank in his mind at this time.
"Damn, are these little devils crazy!" Zheng Xiaocheng couldn't help but scolded angrily: "The shelling was so ruthless at the beginning, Lao Tzu's temporary 54th Division recruited you to provoke you!" There is a book that is angry with the independent team 51st Division! What the hell is bullying me as a ragtag! ”
His angry scolding was just to entertain himself, of course he didn't have the ability or the confidence to lead the soldiers to counterattack the Japanese army.
He could only lie on the ground, looked at the only surviving officer next to him, and shouted loudly: "Convey my order, when the shelling of the little devil is over, retreat immediately, remember, after the shelling is over, retreat immediately!" No moments of stay are allowed! ”
"Yes!"
The officer next to him was also pale, hiding behind a big rock, lying down and answering loudly.
In order to avoid the shelling, he also pulled a corpse on his body, thinking that if any shrapnel **** came, the corpse on his body could also help him block it.
Zheng Xiaocheng was reluctant to do this because of his identity, after all, he was a division commander, but listening to the rumbling of cannons, countless pieces of earth and stone splashed and fell on his body, and it hurt to smash.
It's just a block of earth, rock, and wood, and if any shrapnel flies over, it will be bad!
Thinking of this, Zheng Xiaocheng also had no choice but to bring a corpse next to him to help himself.
The entire provisional 54th Division was completely suppressed at the first moment of the Japanese artillery bombardment.
The defensive positions, trenches, foxholes, and even some of the firing points that they had previously constructed were basically useless under such a covering shelling, and they were soon destroyed one after another.
And this was only a defensive position, and the casualties among their soldiers were even heavier.
I don't know how many soldiers were buried alive by the dirt that was kicked up, and even more soldiers were thrown up and flying by the shells, and then fell down like rag bags, but there was no movement.
Blood splattered, flesh and blood flew everywhere.
The position of the 54th Division of the provisional formation of Baishui Town, under the Japanese artillery fire, is like a flat boat in the roaring sea, and it may capsize at any time!
It was under such fire that it took half an hour before it stopped.
And after the artillery fire stopped, Zheng Xiaocheng didn't dare to delay for a moment, he looked at the corpse blocking in front of him, which was already filled with six or seven shrapnel, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat with fright.
While frightened, I am also a little lucky!
Fortunately, Lao Tzu was witty at the beginning!
It's just that this idea was quickly forgotten by him, and he hurriedly gave an order for his soldiers to retreat immediately without a moment's delay.
Under Zheng Xiaocheng's order, the entire provisional 54th Division was stationed in Baishui Town for a day, and spent great efforts to build a defensive position, but after only half an hour of contact with the Japanese army, it was declared lost.
The entire provisional 54th Division has all run away!
Run it all away!
It can even be said that he threw away his armor and fled in embarrassment!
When he came, he took more than 6,000 people with him, but after the shelling, there were only more than 4,000 people left, and a full one or two thousand people were killed or wounded!
More than 4,000 people still rushed to evacuate one after another.
And when the prepared Japanese 5th Brigade gathered its troops and attacked the defenders' positions, when they arrived, they did not meet with the expected resistance.
The soldiers walked into battle in disbelief, only to see the devastation of the shelling and the entities on the ground.
As for the living people of the defenders, they have all run out!
This result made the little devils a little unbelievable!
Although they thought that the other party would not be able to defeat them at all, and they also thought that the other party would definitely escape, but who would have thought that the other party would only endure a round of shelling and lose the lives of one or two thousand soldiers, and then evacuate like this!
Not even a single shot was fired!
Such a move made the little devil a little unbelievable!
I thought it was a conspiracy on the part of the defenders, but after they carefully surveyed the scene, they found that it was completely true.
It turned out that the other party really fled in embarrassment, and there were some lost rifles everywhere on the position, basically old sleeves made in Hanyang, and some bits and pieces were all over the position. At first glance, it was too late to take it away in a hurry, and it was missed!
At this time, the Japanese army finally believed this fact, and they were all very excited for a while!
