339 Critical Damage

"Whoosh! ......" With a long whistle of the air being torn and rubbed, Shigeru Nakamura saw a dark figure swooping down from the window a few steps away from him. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Before his brain could react in a relative manner, the glass in front of him was torn to pieces by the shock wave and rushed towards his location.

The force swept away the tablecloth that lay on the table, shredding the maps and documents on it, and the debris that spread with the blast easily pierced the chests of the soldiers around them, and through everything that stood in their way.

With these flying fragments, Nakamura Shigeru felt something pass through his body, and before he could make any dodging movements, his body involuntarily flew out with the force swept to his body, and rolled in embarrassment and knocked down the chair behind him.

The chief of staff, who was not far away from him, looked at Nakamura Shigeru's eyes that had lost his mind but were still full of horror and confusion, as if he wanted to reach out and pull his division commander, but his arm was also knocked away before he could raise it, and then a moment before he disappeared consciousness, he saw the pencils and water glasses on the table flying towards his position.

Shigeru Nakamura didn't even let out a scream, didn't react to the pain he felt, and his eyes went black and he lost consciousness. The remaining officers in the entire command were not much better, and they were affected by this huge explosion, and their flesh and blood flew and fell to the ground. Then the massive ceiling shattered and fell, and everything returned to endless darkness.

The smoke and dust that obscured the view followed, tumbling and engulfing everything in the room, and the stones on the ceiling began to crumble and fall, and the white ash on the walls peeled off, smashing against the shattered floor along with the chandelier, but it seemed to make no sound.

Because the sound of the explosion that could shatter the eardrum drowned out all other sounds, and the shock wave and shrapnel did not complete the killing mission, and handed over the diffuse sound to make up for the fatal blow. In an instant, the people in the room flew out sideways and fell to the ground without any movement.

Outside the window, a carriage that had been prepared fell to the ground with a huge explosion, and the horse was hit by shrapnel, and the flesh flew out, and the mutilated corpse fell to the ground not far away. Several people from the guard unit under the division headquarters disappeared directly into the huge explosion just now.

The soldiers, who were a little farther away, also fell to the ground with the huge explosion. Although it was a tempting reminder of the coming shells, there were still people who were caught off guard. Lying down could avoid a lot of debris and shockwave damage, but it still couldn't save everyone's life, at least ten guards were injured at the same time, and no one got up from the ground again for a long time.

The ears of the living were buzzing, after all, the explosion caused by this one shell could not be completely neutralized by lying down and dodging. When someone had a premonition that the explosion had passed and struggled to get up from the ground, they heard various shouts from people around them.

"The command was hit by a shell! Fast! Rescue the wounded! An officer standing in the middle of the street with a bloody face, still shouting for the soldiers to hurry up and check on the damage to the headquarters building.

But after all, the smoke had not yet dissipated, so the Japanese soldiers were messily rescuing the wounded around them, while trying to approach the building where the smoking headquarters was located. Unfortunately, the smoke and dust obscured everyone's eyes, and the crumbling buildings made it difficult for the soldiers to approach easily.

The place where this shell fell was too close to the Japanese headquarters, only about two or three meters away, and the huge explosion directly destroyed half of the building structure, and even the second floor collapsed, and the masonry fell far away.

It was precisely because of these stones and cement fragments that were blown off by the explosion of the shells that they also brought quite heavy casualties to the surrounding Japanese troops. The smoke gradually dissipated over time, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers who were on guard in front of the building were lying on the ground, and none of them were spared.

Counting the soldiers lying on the streets, and a dozen wounded, this shell was worth a fortune, and almost 20 people were killed directly. And its greater contribution was to directly bury the headquarters of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army, which contained almost 30 senior officers, and so far none of them have come out of the building that has been changed beyond recognition.

"Help! Save people! "As more and more Japanese soldiers arrived from the surrounding area, someone finally realized the seriousness of the problem. This is the general headquarters of the division and regiment, and if all of them are really killed, doesn't that mean that the entire 5th Division has lost the ability to mobilize command?

The artillery fire of the Ming army has not stopped, and the Japanese army here began to risk being hit again at any time, frantically digging up the ruins that had collapsed on half of the side. More than 200 Japanese soldiers worked together with shovels and various tools, and it looked as if they were digging a new fortification.

"Found it! I found one! "Soon, on the relatively well-preserved side of the collapsed building, the first survivor was found. The poor Shaozo was only frightened, but the two colleagues around him were not so lucky. The two high-ranking officers who were found with him had been killed in battle, smashed into pies by the falling ceiling.

Soon, about 10 Japanese officers were found alive, some wounded, some unharmed. Some of these men were confidential secretaries, some were staff officers who were carrying documents, and some were mere electromechanical officers in charge of telegraphs.

The most important senior officers in the entire division have not yet been found because they are located too close to the point of explosion of the shells. It wasn't until the sappers arrived and opened the ceiling of the larger wall that everyone saw the chief of staff, who had been dead for a long time, and the commander of the division, Shigeru Nakamura, who was not far away.

The deputy division commander was also hit by shrapnel and had a cement slab pressed on his body. He died near the door frame, as if he wanted to escape but didn't have time to make a move. Then the door frame fell and hit him directly on the back of his head. Also killed were officers of the intelligence service, as well as brigade commanders who came to confirm the relocation of the divisional headquarters.

It only took a second for this artifact shell to completely reimburse the command system of the 5th Division, and at this moment, the Ming army did not know that they were so unlucky that they had completed the crucial attack at once. (To be continued.) )
