Chapter 140 Steel Village Dies for the First Time
Miki Masashima, however, was not worried that the group would escape. He had been patrolling above Gong County every day for the past few days and knew that the area was already surrounded by Imperial soldiers.
Although it's unclear how the enemy who attacked Gongxian Airport managed to bring in the artillery, since they've already opened fire, they certainly won't let them escape.
Masakuma Miki quickly used a radio to send the coordinates of the location to the heavy armored division, so that they could come and survey the site.
Bai Luo finally arrived at the position he had set up in the northwest of Gong County.
Two 150mm naval guns, five Katyusha rocket launchers, tulip mortars, and medium artillery arrays were directly installed here.
As for mountain fortifications, there are no suitable locations here.
兑换了3000枚150舰炮炮弹花费60000积分。兑换1000枚喀秋莎火箭弹花费40000积分。
Exchanging 200 tulip-shaped mortar shells cost 16000 points. The medium artillery position directly accumulated 5 points.
Once everything was ready, Bai Luo immediately adjusted the firing rate of the 150mm naval gun to 120 rounds per minute and began a wide-area bombardment of the Gongxian area.
Following closely behind were the 300mm caliber tulip mortars, which also began roaring towards Gongxian County, 20 kilometers away.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang..."
With the sounds of two different types of artillery shells being fired, Bai Luo had already tolled the death knell for the Japanese in Gongxian.
A barrage of shells, equivalent to the firepower of two heavy artillery battalions in later times, rained down on the county town of Gongxian with terrifying force.
At this moment, the Japanese major who had been slapped earlier also had a bright red handprint on the other half of his face.
"You idiot! If you can't contact Zhengzhou Airport, why don't you contact the Zhengzhou Military Police? If the enemy escapes because of your delay, you'll be..."
Before Gangcun could finish speaking, he heard a dense whistling sound coming from the night sky.
Having been through many battles, he immediately recognized the sound as artillery shells cutting through the air.
A chill ran down his spine; he knew something was wrong.
Just as Gangcun was about to speak, his adjutant pulled him into the house, shouting loudly at the same time.
"Bombardment! Protect the commander!"
Before the words were even finished, a dense barrage of artillery shells had already exploded throughout Gongxian County.
"Boom boom boom..."
"Ah... Help!"
To ensure the shells had sufficient destructive power, Bai Luo exchanged all his shells for high-explosive incendiary shells, thinking that even if he couldn't kill the Japanese soldiers by blowing them up, he would burn them to death.
So the Japanese soldiers in Gongxian were lucky; they could warm themselves by the fire for free on a cold day.
The occasional heart-wrenching screams indicated that the Japanese soldiers were not in a position to endure such suffering.
The powerful incendiary agent added to high-explosive incendiary bombs means that wherever the shell lands, it burns.
The air was thick with smoke and the smell of burning, making one almost nauseous.
Japanese soldiers wounded by shrapnel from artillery shells lay on the ground groaning in pain. Some seriously wounded Japanese soldiers, unable to move, could only watch helplessly as the sea of fire engulfed them, eventually turning them into charred corpses.
Under the equal distribution of Bailuo's rain and dew, the entire Gongxian County was transformed into a sea of fire.
The buildings and fortifications in Gongxian County were all in ruins, with crumbling walls on the verge of collapse. Some walls were covered with spiderweb-like cracks, while others had completely collapsed into piles of rubble.
"Quickly, make way, make way, let the Steel Village Commander go first."
A Japanese major, his head swollen like a pig's, was seen protecting the blackened, smoke-stained Steel Village as he ran out of the command post.
As for the Japanese adjutant, he was sent back to Amaterasu, the goddess of the sea, by the shell that had just landed in the command post courtyard.
His only purpose before he died was to help Steel Village block all the damage in one go.
At this time, Steel Village was also in bad shape. The shockwave from the shell had damaged his internal organs, and it was estimated that he would have to return to the mainland for treatment.
Only now did Okamura truly understand the power of this mysterious heavy artillery unit.
The density of those shells, their immense power, the devastating flames—
Everything served as a constant reminder of the terror of this mysterious heavy artillery unit in Steel Village.
Gangcun felt that there were at least several hundred cannons firing at Gongxian from the opposite side.
But it seems that God couldn't stand that this wicked old Japanese devil was still living on.
A sharp whistling sound rang in Steel Village's ears once again.
Steel Village looked up at the night sky instinctively, and in the bright moonlight, he witnessed a terrifying scene.
A huge cannonball fell straight down on his head.
Steel Village felt a chill run down his spine, and despair welled up within him. He knew that even if he crouched inside the armored vehicle, he was doomed this time.
The next moment, a 300mm shell smashed the steel village from head to toe into a bloody pulp and slammed it into the ground.
The high explosives inside the shell, along with a terrifyingly powerful accelerant, exploded, burning the already mangled Steel Village to ashes in one fell swoop.
Direct physical elimination in this world.
Meanwhile, the violent and continuous explosions coming from the direction of Gongxian caused great commotion among the Japanese soldiers defending the front line of Yangshi.
The last time there was an explosion in Gongxian, it was because an arms depot was destroyed. This time, we don't know why.
The Japanese soldiers were getting restless.
However, without receiving any orders, half of the Japanese division could only wait in place.
Meanwhile, some of the Japanese officers were frantically sending radio messages to the rear to inquire about the situation.
But all their efforts were in vain, and they received no reply.
Finally, the Japanese officers had no choice but to send a communications soldier towards Gongxian to gather information.
At this moment, two Zero fighter planes arrived late at Bai Luo's position.
Masashi Mimoto watched as three cannon barrels rapidly spewed intense flames from the dark ground in the distance, sending shells toward Gongxian.
He was burning with anger.
The two Japanese pilots were practically flooring the throttle, itching to fly over this hateful heavy artillery unit and hurl their bombs into the gun emplacements.
Bai Luo had expected two planes to fly towards him, but he didn't expect there to be only two, fewer than he had anticipated.
Bai Luo pulled out the long-forgotten Qianwei-4 man-portable air defense missile from his spatial storage, aimed it directly, locked onto the heat source, and pressed the launch button.
Bai Luo's body trembled slightly, and the man-portable air defense missile quickly ejected from the launch tube about 5 meters away. Flames instantly shot out from the tail, and the target was aimed directly at the fastest Japanese Zero fighter in front.
As Masashi Mimoto watched himself getting closer and closer to the enemy's artillery barrage, a crazed and ferocious look appeared on his face.
"200 meters to go,"
Masashi Mimoto's expression grew increasingly ferocious, as if he could unleash a bomb into the enemy's artillery position at any moment.
But then he saw something rapidly approaching him, followed by a loud "bang".
Miki Masakuma felt as if a fireball had engulfed him, and he didn't know what had struck him until he died.
The wingman was also startled by the explosion of the lead plane, and the entire plane shook violently in the shock wave generated by the explosion.
The Japanese pilot almost lost control.
Before he could even react to what was happening, Bai Luo had already switched to another Thousand Guards IV and locked onto the last Japanese Zero fighter in the sky.
As Bai Luo pressed the launch button, the Japanese wingman soon followed suit and exploded in mid-air.
The explosions of these two planes also gave the Japanese heavy armored divisions scattered in all directions a clear direction.
Upon seeing this, Okamoto immediately used the tank's onboard radio to instruct his troops to advance at full speed in the direction of the plane explosion.
He had a premonition that the culprit behind all this was in that direction.
