This is the first time in the history of the Cadet Corps that artillery has been used intensively on such a large scale. Since Ouyang Yun crossed over, he had worked so hard to build the Xuebing brand of military industry, and now he finally showed his fangs for the first time.

Nearly five hundred hundred-millimeter howitzers fired a salvo at the same time, what is this concept? Moreover, the enemy's formation is so dense - the devils of two divisions and regiments, plus the troops directly under the regiment of one wing, minus the battle losses, there are still nearly 40,000 people alive now. 40,000 people, how big is Cotton Boat Island, so many people poured in at once, almost the entire island was stuffed. The shelling, which lasted for a quarter of an hour, was an unreserved rapid-fire fire, and Zhang Tianquan's unit used up almost all the shells. Each gun of the cadet corps carried two base shells, one of which was loaded with the vehicle, and one base was transported by the baggage troops, and one base was fifty rounds, excluding the shells consumed in the first stage, that is, each gun had nearly ninety shells at its disposal. Spread to each of the devils, there is also a cannonball!

After five minutes of shelling, at least 15,000 shells rained down on Mianchuan Island, almost cutting off a layer of this small island in the middle of the river. There used to be a lot of poplar forest and other vegetation on the small island in the middle of the river, but now it has been completely destroyed by artillery fire. And where there is no vegetation, the soil has been turned out, and in many places, there is a big pit after a big pit.

Cannonballs are overwhelming, and many of them are still lucky at the beginning, thinking that their character is good enough, and they can escape this catastrophe with regular dodge actions, seeing that the places where they can stand become a sea of fire, and the familiar figures are torn to pieces in an instant, they no longer have a fluke psychology, and they are so shocked that their faces are like earth, their legs are like sifting chaff, and they are not dead, but their hearts have already bred death. Is the Yamato race the best race in the world? Are the subjects of the empire under the protection of Amaterasu more courageous than the Chinese? In the face of artillery fire, all this is just a floating cloud. The shelling came so suddenly, so violently, so intensively, that many devils were completely stunned and stunned. They forgot to dodge, and just stared blankly at the direction in which the shells were flying, as if their brains were frozen. Immediately, they were torn to shreds in a violent explosion.

The bunker group was still the place where the fighting was fierce, and a devil officer woke up from the initial panic and found that the bunker group was the only place in the vicinity that had not been shelled, and he immediately organized a team of about 2,000 men and launched a fierce attack on the bunker group. "Take down the bunker group and capture Ouyang Yun alive, we will have a way to live! The people of China threw rat traps, they did not dare to shell the bunker group, this is our chance! "He bewitched the devils around him so much, and the battle around the bunker group became more and more intense.

More devils didn't notice this, and even if they did, they didn't have a chance to come close because of the distance. Zhang Tianquan consciously blocked the perimeter close to the bunker group, and the little devil wanted to get closer, as long as you could pass the artillery blockade line. But are they as fast as a cannonball? Therefore, the vast majority of devils still wisely chose to evacuate.

"Run!" I don't know which devil was the first to shout this sentence, which immediately became the voice of all the devils. More and more devils joined the ranks of escape, and finally, the Japanese army began to flee en masse. Nearly 20,000 surviving devils ran to the beachhead from various places, and their escape only increased the combat efficiency of the artillery of the Cadet Corps.

When the area around the bunker group was shelled, the devils who stayed on the beachhead were concerned and prepared to escape. Then, when the rout had occurred, they rushed to get out of the boat, and then, regardless of whether they could handle the boat or the spirit of friendship, pulled up the sails and waved the paddle to sail the ship to the shore.

Soon, all the boats were driven away from the river, and more devils rushed to the beachhead with a dusty face, and many people looked back at the rapidly approaching explosion barrage, while shouting: "Eight grids! Wait for me! He threw himself into the water. It is not safe to escape to the river - Zhang Tianquan observed the effect of the shelling through a high-powered telescope, and at this time, he seemed to be the representative of death in the world. The purpose of his shelling was very simple at first, that is, to drive the little devils away from the bunker group, and then to concentrate on the area of attack. Now, it's a grouping area strike. With the regiment as a unit, each regiment is responsible for clearing out the enemy in a certain direction, and among them, there is a regiment that is specifically responsible for the enemy on the river.

"Boom!" As the first cannonball exploded on the surface of the water, stirring up a giant Lang more than ten meters high, the next moment, more and more shells smashed into those turtles also seemed to be struggling to move forward on the river, sailboats, one after another fishing boats were directly blown into pieces, or overturned by the giant Lang, when landing, on the water near Shengzhou and Zhoutou, hundreds of human heads floated, many of them did not know water at all, they screamed, their hands danced, but in the end they could only be swallowed by the river......

Compared to the vast majority of devils who choose to escape from the water, Okamura Ninji is undoubtedly lucky. Because of Yamamuro Sotake's orders, he was knocked unconscious by a gendarme, and was immediately put on a fishing boat. By the time he woke up, he was already in the Wu family's mansion, and had been protected by a brigade of gendarmes there.

At this time, more than half an hour had passed since the end of the shelling. Okamura Ninji woke up from a nightmare, and his first reaction was that he was already in hell - "Unwilling, unwilling!" He half-sat up and muttered, a little like a corps commander.

"Your Excellency, this has come to this, please mourn!" Katamura Ōhachi Daisa stood straight in front of the bed, and he said respectfully, but there was a mocking look in his eyes.

The light of the village of 48 Zanggang Village was able to pass through the river under the escort of many troops. On the way across the river, he even swung his command knife and cut off at least five wrists and a few fingers.

Because the boat was blown up and the devils who fell into the water, seeing the small boat they were riding on, it was like seeing a life-saving straw, they didn't care about the scolding of the village, they just struggled to climb the boat and wanted to get up. Katamura was supported by the tiger flag of the commander of the protection gang village, so he didn't care about the life or death of these soldiers, he coldly waved the command knife, cutting off the hope of one devil soldier after another to escape......

Gangmura Ningji didn't notice Katamura's eyes, and he didn't know the specific casualties of the Ludao troops at this time. After regaining some clarity, remembering this, he asked him luckily: "How are the casualties?" What about General Yamamuro? ”

Katamura said expressionlessly: "The casualties are very heavy, at present, only more than 4,000 people have crossed the river, and there are still battles on Cotton Boat Island, one of which is commanded by General Yamamuro." ”

"Yamamuro, he stayed on the island?!" Gangcun said, suddenly a little moved. At that time, it was one thing to make a statement, but now, since he has withdrawn from the battlefield, there is no need for him to die in the line of duty. He could imagine that the situation was so urgent at that time, and Rugou was not a mountain room who volunteered to preside over the overall situation, and it was estimated that he would not be able to retreat.

"Yes, the commander of the Yamamuro Division still stood up despite the extreme disadvantage of our army, he is a model for my generation of soldiers!"

"Gather the troops, call the combat staff officers over, and I will wait until the specific battle situation and progress."

"Your Excellency, there are no more operational staff officers. If you want to know how the battle went, the fact now is that our army has been defeated—"

"What?!" Okamura Ningji glared at Katamura, stiffened his waist violently, and then, the whole person froze there-just this startled action, he actually flashed to his waist.
