Nabeshima Birdman is full of ambition.

A rare opportunity to strike. Or go and catch a very prominent target.

This is a good opportunity to make a difference.

It's a shame that he's always been currying favor with Kotaro Nakamura, and this time there is something good, and it's finally his turn!

Flattered......

As long as the task is completed, there is a good chance of being promoted to major general. Overcome the most difficult hurdle to cross.

The target's name is Zhang Chu.

It is said that the base camp personally named him. He must be destroyed.

When the name was mentioned, the tone of the chief of staff, Kenzo Kitano, was simply hateful. It seems that across the phone, this Zhang Chu is going to be torn apart.

Very angry.

Nabeshima also learned some things that Zhang Chu had done.

I didn't expect it to be so crazy.

The Japanese army actually suffered successive defeats under him.

Even the most elite Kwantung Army lost its armor and suffered serious losses in front of Zhang Chu.

It's really a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh.

Kenzo Kitano's order is only one:

No matter what method Nabeshima uses, this Zhang Chu must be killed.

If he can't kill him, Nabeshima will commit suicide.

Right!

That's the order.

There is no way back.

But Nabeshima is not worried in the slightest.

The intelligence said that there were only fifty people around Zhang Chu. He was wounded.

Such an opponent is obviously at the end of the road.

Even if he himself is powerful, what can he do?

One person, who can beat two brigades of the Japanese army? !

Therefore, Zhang Chu's final result is only death!

Nabeshima brought two infantry brigades. All are the most elite. Cleaning up dozens of anti-Japanese elements is simply handy.

"Report!"

Suddenly, the communications staff officer arrived in a hurry.

But I received an urgent reminder from the intelligence department.

Nabeshima nodded.

"Your Excellency, the 24th Division of the Imperial Allied Army seems to be behaving abnormally."

"How?"

"They're still in the big wooden cave. There was no march towards Danzhou. ”

"Quack ......"

Nabeshima disagreed.

The 24th Division of the Imperial Association Army is one of the most fishy units in the Imperial Army.

There was once a Japanese army that it only needed one squadron to defeat the 24th Division. Or even wipe it out. It can be seen to what extent is contempt for its combat effectiveness.

Why haven't you made your way to Danju yet?

It must be procrastinating and slow. It's just a bubble of. I don't know what to say.

"Got it."

Nabeshima didn't care at all.

It is impossible for such a fish belly army to rebel.

Why?

Because the result of rebellion is death.

The Japanese only need to dispatch two squadrons to defeat them and then annihilate them all......

Disregard.

Keep moving.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, I heard a dull gunshot.

Nabeshima frowned.

Hey?

Gunshots?

Who's shooting?

Not the Japanese army's own guns......

"Bang!"

Gunshots were heard again.

The gunfire seemed far away. It's dull. It's vague.

"Bang!"

Moments later, a third gunshot rang out.

Then, Nabeshima noticed that there seemed to be some situation in his forward troops.

Could it be that they encountered guerrillas?

Wrong.

This is not China.

This is the Silla Peninsula. Where did the guerrillas come from?

Calm......

At most, a few sporadic anti-Japanese elements.

They were definitely no match for the Japanese strikers.

From the binoculars, Nabeshima can clearly see that the Japanese strikers have launched a counterattack.

One by one, the detachments quickly outflanked from the surroundings.

The tactics of the Japanese army were very skillful.

The speed of the impact of each soldier is very fast.

"Yo Xi ......"

Nabeshima was satisfied with the performance of his subordinates.

They were all excellent soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire. Dealing with those sporadic anti-Japanese elements is simply overkill.

They should be thrown into the Chinese battlefield.

In front of the elite Japanese army, the Chinese army was only slaughtered.

soon

immediately

Right away

The anti-Japanese elements are about to be caught......

"Bang!"

Suddenly, there was another faint sound of gunfire.

Nabeshima saw a Japanese soldier staggering down through the binoculars. There was no more movement.

Hurriedly move the telescope. Tried to search for the anti-Japanese elements who fired the shots.

It never turned out.

There's no reason for that!

It is surrounded by relatively open hilly terrain.

It's winter again, and the vegetation is losing its leaves. Trees are sparse. Anti-Japanese elements are not easy to hide.

If there were really anti-Japanese elements, it would be impossible not to find out.

However, after searching with a telescope for a long time, I never found it.

"Bang!"

There was another faint sound of gunfire.

Another Japanese soldier fell. Then there was no movement.

Not even struggling.

Directly killed?

Nabeshima's face gradually became gloomy.

Yaga!

Damn anti-Japanese elements.

What kind of weapons were they using to attack the Japanese army?

Be sure to capture them alive.

Kill them, it's all cheap.

Must be captured alive.

Then they were skinned little by little.

Nabeshima was very interested in the torture of the Chinese. He likes to use Ling Chi's means to kill the anti-Japanese elements he catches.

Or someone else.

As long as it is unfriendly to the Japanese army, all of them will be late!

"Bang!"

There was another faint sound of gunfire.

Another Japanese soldier fell. The same was a one-shot kill. There was no struggle at all.

"Yaga!"

Nabeshima finally scolded.

What's going on?

What does the Forward Force do? Why not fight back yet?

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Dense gunfire was heard.

It was the forward troops of the Japanese army who opened fire intensively. Both rifles and light machine guns fired.

They fired at the surrounding hills.

The bullet hit the top of the hill, sending up strings of dust.

However......

There was no movement.

Apparently, on the nearby hills, there were no anti-Japanese elements at all.

Yaga!

Nabeshima's brows furrowed.

Wrong!

Where the hell did the gunshots come from?

Aren't the anti-Japanese elements nearby?

However, in addition to the nearby hills, behind the hills are higher mountains. The distance is more than 1000 meters.

Could it be that the anti-Japanese elements were shooting from a distance of a kilometer?

"Cranky ......"

Nabeshima shook his head. Banish the terrible thoughts.

I feel like I'm worrying too much.

How could the anti-Japanese elements be a kilometer away?

Joke......

"Bang!"

However, the faint sound of gunfire continued.

Every time a gun rang out, a Japanese soldier fell. Intermittently, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers have been shot and killed.

Nabeshima also gradually discovered that those who were hit were the elite of the Japanese invaders.

They are all Wu Chang, Jun Cao, Cao Chang and the like.

Obviously, this was carefully chosen by the anti-Japanese elements.

Damn it......

Where the hell is the other party hiding?

Why can't I see it?

"Bang!"

"Boom!"

The Japanese forward units returned fire with mortars.

Objectively speaking, the performance of the 90-mm mortar of the Japanese is still very good. The main forces of the Japanese army are generally equipped.

This 90-mm mortar has a long range and great power.

Several artillery shots went down in a row, and the bombardment was all mountains thousands of kilometers away. The flash of fire can be clearly seen.

However, I dare not say whether or not the anti-Japanese elements were bombed.

"Yaga!"

"Yours. Go see what's going on! ”

Nabeshima waved his hand.

A Japanese staff officer hurriedly ran to the front to check.

The rest of the Japanese soldiers were half-squatting on the ground, waiting for the battle. Only mortars are firing intermittently.

Infantry artillery was also erected. Shoot at any time.

The elite infantry is also on standby. As soon as the target is spotted, it will pounce on it.

The problem is, it is not possible to see where the target is.

No fire was seen.

It could be that the distance is too far. The muzzle flame is too faint.

More Japanese troops were thrown into the search.

That shot never came again. It seems to be far away.

Probably scared away by Japanese mortars?

"Yaga!"

Nabeshima's expression was gloomy.

Obviously, this is the anti-Japanese elements playing tricks on themselves.

Deliberately blocking one's own progress.

They must have been stalling for time to cover Zhang Chu's retreat.

Zhang Chu was injured and couldn't run fast.

"Report!"

The previous staff officer is back.

His face was a little frightened. It seems to have seen some terrifying scenes.

It took a while to regain his composure.

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, they were killed by anti-aircraft machine gun bullets."

"Nani?"

Nabeshima frowned.

Anti-aircraft machine gun bullets?

How can it be......

If there were anti-aircraft machine guns nearby, it was impossible for the Japanese not to find out.

The goal of the anti-aircraft machine gun was obvious. It's huge. You can't hide it even kilometers away. So, it could not be an anti-aircraft machine gun.

"Your Excellency, I picked up the warhead."

"Give it to me!"

Nabeshima took the warhead.

Good guys, heavy warheads. It's almost as thick as a thumb.

Yaga!

It's really an anti-aircraft machine gun warhead.

Ordinary machine guns, there are simply no such thick bullets. The caliber is definitely more than 10 mm.

No wonder the Japanese soldiers who were shot did not even have a chance to struggle.

"All of them are broken......"

"Yaga!"

Nabeshima angrily threw the warhead away.

He decided that it was the anti-Japanese elements who were obstructing his advance. The purpose is to cover Zhang Chu's escape.

Therefore, he absolutely could not allow the anti-Japanese elements to succeed.

It is imperative to move on.

Advance must be accelerated.

"Herald!"

"Run forward!"

Nabeshima angrily ordered.

After a while, all the Japanese troops were running.

They did not notice that there were troops moving about twenty miles away from them.

They are the Barbarian Battalion.

The leader of the team is An Jiyong. The members are all savages.

Their mission is simple, it is to occupy and kill the tiger's mouth. Cut off the retreat of the Japanese invaders. So that the remaining Japanese invaders have no way to escape.

As for Zhang Chu......

He was waiting for the Japanese to arrive.

He was the one who shot just now.

The intermittent shooting successfully attracted the Japanese to Qingpingli.

It's a beautiful basin.

It is also the best battlefield to bury Japanese criminals.

Subconsciously, Nabeshima is also aware of the slightest danger.

Could it be that the anti-Japanese elements were ambushed?

He didn't mind, though.

Because of the surrounding terrain, it is not conducive to ambushes.

Wide field of view.

The closest mountain range to the Japanese army is also 2,000 meters away.

Such a distance. Even if there is an ambush. The Japanese army can also be completely blocked. Or even a counterattack. Then the anti-Japanese elements will be annihilated.

Unless it's ......

"Stop!"

"Defend in place!"

Nabeshima suddenly thought of something. Categorically ordered.

It must be admitted that Nabeshima's battlefield experience is very rich. He immediately recognized another danger.

The general ambush, of course, did not pose a threat to the Japanese army.

However, if the anti-Japanese elements had artillery fire, then the Japanese army would be in great trouble.

Why?

Because the Japanese army was surrounded by flat wilderness.

In the event of artillery fire, there will be nowhere to hide. Shells can cause very serious damage.

In fact......

Nabeshima guessed right.

It was not without reason that Zhang Chu chose Qingpingli as the battlefield.

It is conducive to the play of rocket artillery, which is the biggest reason.

What rocket artillery does best is attacking unprotected targets. Preferably without obstacles.

Right now, the Japanese invaders are entering this place of death.

"My lord, can you do it?"

Lee Jong-seok was half-convinced and half-questioning.

He did not have the slightest confidence in those so-called rocket artillery.

From the outside, it's just a bunch of black and round pipes, which is also called a cannon? Anyway, a few 75mm mountain guns should be filled with façade......

"Look!"

Zhang Chu remained silent.

Before seeing the rocket artillery, many people thought it was a farm tool.

But when it goes berserk, everyone will think that it is an artifact.

Right now......

It's a time to witness a miracle!

A total of thirty rocket launchers. Each rocket launcher has 12 launch tubes. That's a total of 360 launch tubes.

Embattled.

"The Japanese invaders stopped ......"

"Launch!"

Zhang Chu categorically ordered.

The Japanese are indeed level. Be aware of the dangers.

It is estimated that next, the Japanese will either immediately evacuate Qingping-ri or dig fortifications on the spot.

Once the Japanese fortifications are excavated, the lethality of the rocket artillery will be greatly reduced.

Obviously, this is not allowed.

So......

"Woo woo woo ......"

"Woo woo woo ......"

One rocket after another flew into the air.

Lee Jong-suk's mouth suddenly opened wide. It seems to be able to stuff ten salted duck eggs!

Sky!

This pile of pipes is so fierce?

Can you shoot so many shells in one go? Without the slightest pause in between!

All his ears were whistling.

It's like a greeting from hell. No one can afford it at all.

Sky!

That's amazing!

That's amazing!

I want ......

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Subconsciously turn your head. I saw that Qingping was already a fire.

Countless Japanese invaders were shattered in the firelight.

"Yaga ......"

"Ambush ......"

"Heavy artillery ......"

Nabeshima's consciousness gradually blurred.

But it was the overwhelming artillery fire that shrouded him in it.

Fooled......

Sure enough, there was an ambush......

But not an ordinary ambush. It was an ambush of artillery fire......

The artillery fire of the anti-Japanese elements......

It's scary......

Before he lost his breath, Nabeshima saw that everyone around him was surrounded by firelight, and then shattered one by one. Including himself.

Annihilated......

One last thought came to me.

But incomplete. Because there is no longer a chance to think about him.

"Ding!"

"You killed the Japanese Kou Dazuo with a ......"

"You get 30x crit bonus......"

"You get 15,000 silver dollars ......"

Information poured in.

Zhang Chu's heart is like stopping water.

He was not very satisfied with his artillery skills.

Because there are still a small number of Japanese invaders, they are not shrouded in artillery fire. Luckily survived.

Otherwise, the first round of artillery fire would have killed hundreds of Japanese criminals.

You must know that these are 360 rounds of 107 mm rockets, and the explosive power of each one is equivalent to that of a 122 mm artillery shell......

"Quick!

"Quick!"

Lee Jong Suk personally commanded the soldiers to reload.

Because Zhang Chu agreed. As long as the two brigades of Japanese invaders are eliminated, these rocket artillery will belong to him.

At first, Lee Jong Suk refused.

I think what's the use of such a bunch of round tubes. It is better to ask for a 75-mm mountain gun.

But now, his mentality has collapsed.

Not frustration. It's the excitement that can't be controlled. And then it collapsed.

No way. Who would have thought that such a bunch of pipes would be more powerful than a heavy artillery regiment.

"Woo woo woo ......"

"Woo woo woo ......"

In the blink of an eye, a few hundred shells went out.

It's terrifying.

unimaginable.

A heavy artillery regiment fires more than a hundred shells in one minute.

However, such a bunch of round pipes, one minute, can play at least two rounds. That is, 720 shells were fired.

Oh, my God. Is it so magical?

That's 720 rounds in one minute. That's 3,600 rounds in five minutes!

Thousands of shells will be smashed down, and even copper peas will be smashed to pieces by the Japanese.

At this point, Lee Jong Shuo completely understood.

It's not Japanese, no.

It was really the artillery fire of the anti-Japanese elements that was too strong.

In other words, this Zhang Chu is too powerful. Equip the Volunteers with such terrifying weapons.

But!

From now on!

He, too!

His troops will also be reorganized into anti-Japanese volunteers!

Before it was a dilemma.

Now there is no turning back.

Just for such a pile of round pipes, he hugged Zhang Chu's elephant legs!

"Yaga!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Nabeshima Birdman was killed in seconds when he appeared. But the Japanese army did not fall into disarray.

A Shaozuo captain immediately took over the command.

He ordered his troops to launch a surprise attack in the direction where the artillery fire was.

Very clever.

Towards artillery fire. Instead of running for your life.

This Japanese soldier Shaozo knew very well that if he fled for his life, he would definitely be caught up by the shells. In the end, the whole army was annihilated.

However, there is still a glimmer of life in the face of a surprise attack on enemy artillery.

If you can successfully enter the dead end of the artillery fire. For example, under the hill in front. There are still people who can live.

"Send a report!"

"Request urgent tactical guidance."

"Our army was subjected to heavy artillery fire from anti-Japanese elements. It is estimated that there were ten heavy artillery regiments of the anti-Japanese elements! ”

The Japanese continued to roar.

A blessing in misfortune. The station was not completely damaged. You can also send a report.

The Japanese army's wing headquarters and brigade headquarters all had radio stations. Rocket artillery though violent. But it is also impossible to blow up all the stations.

The distress telegram was sent without incident.

100,000 urgent!

Wrong!

It's 100,000 urgent!

"Woo woo woo ......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

A second wave of rockets is coming.

No adjustments were made. Because it doesn't need to. Rockets have their own errors.

The Japanese reacted quickly.

The Japanese soldiers, who were not killed by the bombing, immediately looked for obstacles to dodge. At the same time, there are already soldiers who have begun to dig individual bunkers.

In terms of professionalism, the Japanese army is indeed very good.

If the 25th Division of the puppet army was bombed at this time, it is estimated that it would have collapsed long ago.

Who's going to dig a bunker?

However, the time was too short, and the Japanese invaders simply did not have time to react further.

After a fierce explosion, the Japanese again suffered heavy losses. A team of 2,000 people was directly killed by more than 1,000 people. The rest were also largely injured.

Nabeshima Birdman's judgment was correct.

In this place in Qingpingli, what I am most afraid of is being ambushed by enemy artillery.

If the enemy used an ordinary howitzer with a limited rate of fire, the Japanese still had a chance to react. More living forces can definitely be preserved.

However, being ambushed by rockets is really a matter of not being able to do it every day, and it is not working on the ground.

The remnants of the Japanese can only pray desperately for the blessing of Amaterasu.

And in Yongsan, the headquarters of the Korean army stationed in North Korea also had a tense atmosphere.

"Bang!"

The communications staff officer, who received the telegram, stumbled and almost desperately slammed open the commander's door.

Because the chief of staff, Kenzo Kitano, is reporting to Kotaro Nakamura.

"Yaga!"

"What's the matter?"

Kenzo Kitano's face was gloomy.

Panicked, become a god? Want to have a caesarean section?

Yaga!

"Your Excellency, the Nabeshima Wing was attacked by anti-Japanese artillery fire, and more than half of the casualties were lost. The anti-Japanese had ten heavy artillery regiments......"

The communications staff officer reported as quickly as possible.

Although in a hurry. But there was no sloppy spout. There wasn't any stuttering either.

The basic skills are definitely passed!

"Nani?"

Kenzo Kitano felt black in front of him.

Worst!

Fooled!

He reacted immediately.

It's a trap!

Zhang Chu was not injured at all! There were more than fifty people around him!

It's a fake telegram!

It was a fake telegram from the 25th Division of the Imperial Allied Army!

Yaga!

This 25th division must have mutinied!

Yaga!

Enraged, he almost fainted on the spot.

Trembling hands and feet.

Cold sweat broke out on his back.

It was as if he had seen his next fate.

It is estimated that it will be impossible to return to China smoothly.

If you don't do it, you will have to commit suicide by caesarean section. Only by apologizing can you save your reputation.

"Kitano-kun!"

Commander Kotaro Nakamura was stunned. But after all, it is calm.

The losses of two brigades, he can still bear.

It is not without such losses that the Japanese army has suffered. Even the brigade commander was killed before. Osa died several.

Oh, and there's also Yanagawa Heisuke. That's a veteran army commander. Senior Lieutenant General. The obituary has not yet been issued.

Anyway, if you have a lot of debts, you don't have to worry, what do you love.

Big deal......

Hey?

Kotaro Nakamura suddenly woke up.

Terrible.

Why do you have such frustrating thoughts?

Actually thought of caesarean section?

Damn it!

What a belly to cut yourself!

I didn't fail!

There is still a chance to save!

When his two brigades were surrounded and annihilated, the first thing he had to do was not to immediately dispatch aviation troops to bomb indiscriminately?

At this time, only the plane is the fastest! Also the most effective!

As long as Zhang Chu is blown up, everything will be easy.

"Pick me up the air force!"

"I'm going to talk to the aviation on the phone in person!"

Kenzo Kitano definitely can't move.

However, he Nakamura Kotaro is definitely impressed!

What about your aviation director?

Aviation will not have to fight?

Yaga!

Get out of the way now!

Bomb me indiscriminately!
