When the artillery regiment of the 3rd Division began to exert its might, the battle on the west bank of the former lake also began. The lack of information in the report made Yamamuro Sotake and Yamada Joji mistakenly think that the main force of the student army had detoured back to the east bank of the Gan River, originally, they still had doubts about Okamura Ningji's strategy of attacking from east to west, but now, they no longer have any scruples.

The first to fire on the side of the Cadet Army was the first to go to the battlefield. Nine Changsun Sheng-level snipers, each using the latest model of the "Cadre" anti-materiel sniper rifle. The caliber of this rifle has reached 12.5 mm, and the firing range has reached a terrifying 1,800 meters, which is a grade higher than the anti-materiel sniper rifle used by Zuo Bangling, the sniper of the second division of Tokugawa Kenzo who used a sniper rifle.

The width of the lake in front of the lake was about 2,700 meters, and the Japanese chariot unit had just rushed halfway when a flare suddenly rose into the sky, startling many little devils to slip and almost fall on the ice. A devil sensed the difference in the ground under his feet, and reacted to the commander: Is this the ice?! This situation quickly reacted to Yamamuro Sotake and Yamada Joji, and before the two of them could react, in front, a thunderous gunshot rang out, and the next moment, three Type 99 vehicles caught fire at the same time, and one of them exploded inexplicably. When a devil saw the flickering gunfire in the distance, he immediately shouted: "Enemy attack!" "All of a sudden, many people put their guns down on the ice." Boom-" Several tanks also fired, and the shells flew out of the cannon as fireballs, exploding a kilometer away. In the flames, the sharp-eyed devil only didn't see the enemy, and his heart became more and more panicked.

At this time, the armored car in which Yamamuro Sotake and others were riding had just gone down to Qianhu not far away, and Hashimoto Wangjun suddenly reacted and said to Yamamuro in the same car: "Your Excellency, the place where we are staying now is Qianhu, right?!" ”

The daytime battle could also blow up the surface of the Ganjiang River, and at least 5,000 people of the Western Route Army were killed. Eat a trench and grow a chi, Okamura specifically mentioned this in his telegram with them. This is also the main reason why they are so cautious when crossing the Gan River. When Yamamuro heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he said, "Then let the troops speed up the passage and don't stay on the river for a long time!" ”

It's late. Since the flare exploded on the head of the main force of the Eastern Route Army, Xiao Jun contacted Zhang Tianquan and reported the shooting Zhu Yuan. So, Yamamuro Zongwu realized that it was not good, in the direction of Meiling Town, a dull thunderclap sounded, and the next moment, three fireballs rose into the air and flew towards this side with a roar.

Although it was a test firing, all three shells hit the target area. A "boom" explosion sounded, and several unlucky devils were lifted by the air, and the ghosts cried wolf in mid-air.

"Quick, disperse!" Yamamuro opened the car door and shouted loudly outside. As soon as he finished shouting, a louder muffled thunder sounded in the northwest direction, and the next moment, hundreds of fireballs flew into the air, and in an instant, the sky over there was dyed red.

"Boom-" "Boom-" explosions rang out one after another, one fireball after another, and finally, the ice surface of the former lake could no longer withstand such a fierce bombardment, and many places were first cracked by the previous shell, and when they were hit by the second shell, they were finally shattered.

"Lie down!" "Mom!" "Rush!" "Shelling, shelling!" …… In the sound of the explosion, various Japanese shouts resounded throughout the ranks of the Japanese soldiers, and then, four groups of people appeared. The explosion was so dense and loud that it completely covered the shouts of Sotake Yamamuro and Yamada Joji. The originally neat array collapsed in an instant—the front one ran forward, the middle one either ran backwards or to the left and right, and the one behind turned around and ran—Ouyang Yun got out of the armored car, stood at the door and looked into the distance with a telescope, and said to Liu Kui after more than ten seconds: "Tell Xiao Jun and let them not be stingy with flares, it's hard to build." ”

"Yes - Xiao Jun, the commander-in-chief ordered, do not stop the flares, to ensure the accuracy of the shelling!"

"Roger!"

One by one, flares rose into the sky, and the sound of artillery thinned out. The sound of the cannon has become sparse, but the accuracy has increased. More than a dozen cannons were adjusted to shoot Zhu Yuan under the command of Xiao Jun for a precise strike, and where the shells fell, it was inevitable that a piece of ice collapsed and cracked, and then, the devil who was not killed screamed and fell into the icy lake, not frozen, and half of his soul had been scared off.

There were still about a dozen tanks, more than 30 armored vehicles, and about 2,000 devils rushing over. The artillery position of the Eighth Division was a little far away from here, and Zhang Tianquan was worried that he would hurt his own people, so he conservatively raised the shooting Zhuyuan provided by Xiao Jun by one level, so that the devil who "moved forward bravely" got the best chance of survival.

Ouyang Yun took out a sniper rifle from the car and shouted to the left and right: "Order, prepare for battle!" Snipers, take out the devil's tanks and armored vehicles first! ”

Dozens of male and female soldiers followed with unified anti-materiel sniper rifles, and at this moment, they were still more than 500 meters away from the battlefield and more than 1,300 meters away from the devils. This may seem like a long distance, but it's the best position for sniping. With a car or a backpack or simply a snowdrift and the support frame opened, dozens of people set up their own sniper rifles. In addition, some female soldiers took out a soft cushion from their backpacks and put it between their shoulders and the butt of their guns, in case their shoulders could not withstand such a large recoil and fell into disability or something.

Holding the "Cadre" anti-materiel sniper rifle, Ouyang Yun's heart was full of pride. Although there is still a big gap between this big sniper and the one he brought, as long as he thinks that there is a gap of seventy or eighty years between the two, and the whole world can be made by the army, the corners of his mouth can't help but curl slightly.

After the sound of artillery became sparse, the chaos of the Japanese army was finally contained, but in the face of those shells that seemed to have eyes, Yamamuro Munetake and Yamada Joji did not dare to order the assembly, nor did they dare to order the troops behind to continue to charge, and they did not even dare to let people save the thousands of devils who had fallen into the water.

Learn from the Eighth Master and build miracles again! Although the density and consumption of this round of shelling were far inferior to the round of bombardment of the main force of the Western Route Army during the day, the results achieved were not much weaker. At least ten or so tanks and two brigades of devils were directly blown up and killed, in addition, more than two dozen tanks and at least two brigades of devils were swallowed by Qianhu. These 20 or so chariots will definitely not be able to be saved, and whether the devils who still have more than those two brigades can survive depends on the next performance of the Eastern Route Army.

It was supposed to be a rather tight formation, because this round of shelling became four parts. In addition to the front and back parts, the two strands that dispersed to the left and right finally stepped into the minefield set up by the wolf fangs. I don't know which of the unlucky people stepped on the mine first, and then, the devils who climbed on the shore were killed by the mine one after another, and then they didn't dare to climb to the shore.

So, a very funny scene appeared, on the east bank of the front lake and on the lake, the Eastern Route Army obviously still had more than 10,000 people, but they could not support the mixed attack force of chariots and infantry in front of the attack, except for lying on the ground or scurrying around to avoid artillery bombardment.
