Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Chapter 505: Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko's Fear

The second and third rounds of shells were not calibrated, so their landing points were very touching.

But for the Japs, it was tantamount to a catastrophe, because they had no idea where the heavy artillery would fall, so they had no idea where the pen from the King of Hell would fall.

As the subsequent eight heavy artillery shells landed, the shock wave generated by the explosion directly blew away the Japanese hangar and fuel depot.

The oil in the Japanese's oil depot was instantly spilled out. The oil was dispersed in the shock wave and then quickly mixed with the air. This large-area aerosol was something that the Japanese would feel extremely terrified.

An explosion is a violent combustion.

At this point, there is oil spilled all over the sky and the air is fully mixed, all we need now is a fire.

On the battlefield, will there be a shortage of fire?

Almost within a few seconds of the large-scale aerosol formation, a spark instantly detonated the aerosol within a radius of one or two hundred meters.

An extremely violent explosion occurred.

A fireball with a diameter of several hundred meters was accompanied by a huge explosion.

Within the range of the fireball, there was no longer any living Japanese soldier, or rather, no intact Japanese soldier.

After the explosion, a huge mushroom cloud even formed above the Japanese oil depot.

Although the fireball disappeared, the explosion and flames did not disappear.

On the contrary, it became more violent, and a series of explosions continued to sound. Those were the sounds of bombs and fuel barrels scattered nearby.

Outside Taiyuan City, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment only saw the loud explosions inside Taiyuan City. After 12 consecutive artillery rounds, a huge ball of fire rose up, which could be seen very clearly even from the positions three or five kilometers away.

Li Yunlong put down the telescope and muttered to himself, "Damn it, could the entire Taiyuan city be set on fire? How could there be such a big flame?"

What Lao Li didn't know was that the city of Taiyuan was not set on fire, but the Japanese's oil depot at Taiyuan Airport was set on fire during the bombing of the 155 heavy artillery, which triggered a series of violent fires and explosions.

Compared to the Independent Regiment who were just watching the fun, Yoshio Shinozuka who was on the top of Taiyuan City was almost in despair. He didn't expect that a temporary decision he made would lead to the Independent Regiment's heavy artillery bombardment, which not only completely scrapped two flight squadrons, but also destroyed the runway and fuel depot of Taiyuan Airport.

It can be said that after this battle, the locust army’s air force in Taiyuan City was completely destroyed, and it would be impossible to rebuild it without more than half a year.

The question is, with the current strength of the independent regiment, can they give themselves more than half a year?

If you look at it from another perspective, if you were the commander of the independent regiment, let alone half a year, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to give them half a day.

But now that the air force of the Locust Army in the entire Taiyuan City has been completely destroyed, how to face the aggressive Independent Regiment has almost made Yoshio Shinozuka fall into despair.

Yoshio Shinozuka ordered the Japanese troops in charge of defense on the city walls to keep a close eye on the movements of the Independent Regiment and never let them break through the defense of Taiyuan City. He quickly returned to the headquarters of the First Army of the North China Expeditionary Army to report to the two Japanese army leaders. Now the battle situation had long been out of the control of him, the person in charge of the Locust Army in Jin.

Li Yunlong was lying in the bunker at this time, looking at the wreckage of Japanese planes all over the ground and the smoke and dust rising from the city of Taiyuan with lingering fear, and he cried out that he was lucky.

If the Japanese bombers had not been destroyed before the second wave of bombing, several tons of artillery shells would have hit the independent regiment directly, and the independent regiment would have suffered extremely heavy losses.

Now, except for a few unlucky soldiers who were hit by falling plane debris, almost no one else was injured. It has to be said that this was extremely lucky.

Now Lao Li is extremely grateful to those artillery soldiers who resisted the pressure and did not retreat before the arrival of the Japanese bombers. Without them fighting to the death to fire that round of artillery shells, the Japanese would probably have continued to send planes taking off, and he would have been in a passive position by then.

By this time in the battle, Li Yunlong was a little overwhelmed. The order he received was to create as much momentum as possible to attract the Japanese's attention, so he thought of attacking Taiyuan.

But now the Japanese Taiyuan airport has been bombed. This should be a big deal, right?

However, Li Yunlong actually had no plan as to how to fight the next battle and when it would end.

According to the original plan, all they had to do was fire two cannons at the gate of Taiyuan City to create momentum.

But now that Taiyuan Airport has been completely destroyed, how can we create momentum? Isn’t this momentum big enough?

Li Yunlong hesitated for a while and confirmed with the communicator: "Can we contact the headquarters now?"

"Of course, Captain."

Li Yunlong: “…”

It would be great if I couldn’t contact the headquarters. Damn, I, Old Li, would just attack Taiyuan City directly.

After hesitating for two minutes, Li Yunlong still did not dare to directly order a charge on the city gate. If something went wrong, the commander would probably be disgraced when he returned.

The commander is greater than the brigade commander, and the brigade commander is greater than Lao Li himself. Lao Li understands this principle.

"Go, send a telegram to the headquarters and tell the commander that I, Li Yunlong, have already bombed the Japanese airport. Now Taiyuan City is as weak as a piece of paper in front of my independent regiment.

Ask the commander if we should just attack Taiyuan today!"

Li Yunlong gritted his teeth and gave the communicator an order.

Deep down in his heart, Lao Li hid a trace of madness. He had a vague urge to take over Taiyuan City, and this urge became stronger and stronger as time went by.

Taiyuan City is right within sight, how could he not be tempted?

......

In Taiyuan City.

After the news of the airport bombing came, several high-ranking Japanese commanders instantly showed panic on their faces. After the air escape route was cut off, it meant that these high-ranking Japanese officers no longer had a relatively safe way to evacuate Taiyuan City, and could only die with these ordinary Japanese soldiers.

Even Prince Asaka Naruhiko, who had always been a hardliner, had a hint of panic on his face. Although he concealed it well, these subtle expressions were still captured by Okamura Neiji.

It turns out that when faced with the threat of death, the members of the Japanese locust room were just as afraid as ordinary Japanese soldiers.

Shinozuka Yoshio rushed in from outside the headquarters, smelling of gunpowder and smoke: "Prince, General, our airport has been bombed, and the independent regiment is waiting outside, what should we do now?

Please give us your instructions.”

Perhaps Yoshio Shinozuka himself did not realize that there was a hint of tremor in his voice, which was something he had never experienced before in all his years of military experience.

"Shinozuka-kun, you just came over from the city wall, and you have been in charge of the defense of Jin for such a long time. I just want to ask you a question, is it possible for the independent regiment to attack Taiyuan?"

Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko stared at Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes, trying to see some clues from his expression.

“No…no…”

Yoshio Shinozuka did not dare to look Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko in the eye, and looked away as soon as he began to answer.

When Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko heard this answer, his heart skipped a beat. He was a smart man, so how could he not hear the guilt in Yoshio Shinozuka's words?

He had to face a problem, that is, the independent regiment might really break into the city.

The locust army has occupied Taiyuan City for two or three years. Many trading companies and Japanese women and children have also entered with the Japanese army. When they thought of this problem, several Japanese in the command room felt an extreme fear.

Especially Prince Asaka Naruhiko, who led the Japanese army to attack Nanjing. It can be said that he was the one who caused the tragedy. He knew only too well the fate of women and children after the city was broken.

Although it is said that the Eighth Route Army has strict discipline, it does not dare to gamble.

The hellish scene back then was created by itself. It couldn't imagine how it would face such a scene, especially when it turned from a perpetrator to a victim.
