The Japanese army was really frightened by the heavy artillery of the Eighth Division - the reason why Okamura asked the mountain artillery units of two companies and one company of heavy artillery units to move to the Meiling Mountains was to not give the Xuebing Army a chance. Meiling is located between two hills, and although the altitude of the two hills is only about five or six hundred meters, in Okamura's opinion, it is the safest area in the Xinjian County. Of course, Okamura asked Uchiyama Eitaro to lead the artillery to Meiling for another purpose, that is, once the 106th Division completed the siege of Gaoan, Uchiyama could go directly to Changbu from Meiling to reinforce Gao'an by sniping at Anyi's enemy.

The exact time was around 1:10 p.m., and the location was Qinglan Village, two kilometers northwest of Jiaoqiao Town. On the main road between the villages, Uchiyama Eitaro was urging his subordinates to drag donkeys and horses to pull artillery through the village, and on a high ground at the west end of the village, Gu Gang slowly retracted his body behind a cypress tree that was crushed by heavy snow, and pressed the send button to report the location of the Japanese artillery to Zhang Tianquan.

When Zhang Tianquan received the report, he immediately asked his subordinates to calculate the distance between his troops and Qinglan Village, and soon, the shooting of Zhu Yuan was calculated.

"Big Gray Rabbit, our department is now starting the test launch, please pay attention to the landing point! Our department has started the test launch, please pay attention to the landing point! Complete! ”

"Big Gray Rabbit received, Big Gray Rabbit received, over!"

Zhang Tianquan raised the red flag in his hand, suddenly slashed down, and shouted in his mouth: "Launch!" ”

"Boom-" The four guns rang out in succession, and the four guns on the four directions of the front and rear of the artillery array, the left and right, opened fire one after another, and the four shells flew out of the cannon with orange-white tail flames.

At this time, the distance between Zhang Tianquan's headquarters and the inner mountain was about 12 kilometers, and this distance, the shells fired by the self-propelled guns only needed about 15 seconds to arrive. The firing range of 12 km is still within the optimal range of a self-propelled gun of 150 mm caliber for the Cadet Corps. The four shells first swept over the heads of Ouyang Yun and the others with a screaming sound that broke through the air, and then flew in a northwest direction, passing over the heads of Okamura Ninji and Yoshimoto Sadaji in an instant.

At this time, there was no sound of gunfire on the battlefield, so the sound of these four shells breaking through the air was particularly harsh, and when they heard the screaming, Okamura and Yoshimoto were shocked, and the two of them immediately looked at each other, and their faces turned pale at the same time. Yoshimoto said: "The artillery of the Chinese people! Okamura looked pained: "Ran to Uchiyama and they went!" ”

Yoshimoto looked up to the northeast, where several dark shadows were disappearing into the sky. These are the last few Type 99C fighters to leave.

The four shells were aimed at Qinglan Village, which had also been visited by Japanese planes during earlier air raids, but because the residents of the village had been persuaded to leave by the cadets as early as this morning, the Japanese bombardment did not achieve any "results".

Fifteen seconds, just a few fingers. Okamura and Yoshimoto had just finished sighing, and at the east end of Qinglan Village, Uchiyama and several devil officers around him strangled their mounts and pricked up their ears. The next moment, as a devil shouted in a crying voice: "Enemy attack!" Shelling! Uchiyama tilted his head and closed his eyes in pain, and hissed: "Lie down!" ”

Of the four shells, two of them were successful, one of which smashed directly on a 150 mm heavy cannon at the west end of the village, and a "boom" explosion sounded, and the heavy cannon and the three devils who followed it were dismembered at the same time, and the two wheels were blown away by the air, one of which smashed on the head of a donkey thirty meters away, and the donkey fell to the ground in the instant.

The towing of this cannon is a military truck, and this military truck with a load of 1.5 tons is quite difficult to tow this heavy gun, so the driver has to keep pressing on the accelerator. When the gun was dismembered, the weight of the military truck was light, and the driver was frightened by the explosion, and suddenly stepped on the accelerator to the bottom......

The explosion sounded, and the donkeys and horses dragging the mountain and field cannons were frightened, and there was a neighing sound when they landed. The artillery attack came so suddenly, the devil artillery was unprepared, even though some commanders shouted in time to lie down, but there were still many people who were ignorant and had been scared stupid.

The test shot achieved good results, which made Gu Gang feel very excited, and he immediately reported to Zhang Tianquan: "The big gray rabbit reports that the left one is about thirty meters away, and the right one is about fifty meters away!" Complete! ”

After receiving the report, Zhang Tianquan immediately asked his subordinates to adjust their shooting at Zhu Yuan, and then the red flag waved, and five minutes later, the rumbling cannon sounded, and the intensive shelling began.

Because Gu Gang reported the effect of the shelling at any time, this round of shelling lasted for about 20 minutes before stopping. Twenty minutes later, Qinglan Village had been completely razed to the ground, and almost all the artillery of the 11th Army's Western Route Force had been destroyed, and the Japanese casualties, including the infantry wing that guarded it, exceeded 3,000 Japanese casualties.

"Your Excellency, there must be someone in the Cadet Army who is offering to shoot Zhu Yuan at close range, otherwise it would not be so accurate!" Ten minutes after the shelling, Yoshimoto made an afterthought.

Okamura and Yoshimoto had been pulled behind a ruin by the guards at this time - since the artillery of the Academy Army could hit the village of Qinglan, which was five kilometers away, of course, it could also hit the newly built city, and if Okamura was directly killed by the enemy artillery, then the battle would not be able to be fought.

Okamura sat cross-legged on the ground - as a lieutenant general of the Imperial Army, he obviously disdained to lie on the ground like an ordinary officer and soldier, the old devil's face was pale, the green tendons on his forehead jumped and jumped, and he opened his mouth several times to speak, but he still closed his mouth.

"Didn't the reconnaissance of the intensity of the 1st Air Corps fail to detect the artillery of the Cadet Army? Could it be that they hid their artillery underground? Yoshimoto said again. Reminded by the Crystal Trenches, he was rightfully guessing.

Dense shells swept through the sky about two or three kilometers away from him, and the devils left in the area of Xinjian by the 11th Army's Western Route Army only felt their scalps tingle, and Yokoyama listened to the rumbling explosion from the northwest, and his face was as white as Okamura.

This round of shelling came so suddenly, that all the devils had not expected that they were already within range of enemy artillery fire - so although the target of this round of shelling was the artillery in the rear, it was more difficult for them to accept the front line than the shelling themselves.

At the beginning of the Changsha Campaign, most of the devils of the 17th Division, who had been turned from reserve officers and soldiers, once thought that they were invincible in the world, but now, they are really afraid.

On the east bank, Connor stood beside Ouyang Yun, first looked at the smoke rising in the distance, and then turned his head to look at Ouyang Yun, and for the first time had such an idea: I hope that the Third Reich will not encounter this Chinese around him in the process of conquering the world in the future, otherwise - like Okamura and others, Connor can't figure out where Ouyang Yun hid the Eighth Master, and it is precisely because he can't figure it out at all that he is sincerely shocked, and subconsciously fears him.
