Warlords: I just made a little fortune, but I didn’t build a country.

In Boulder City, at this time, the commander of the Japanese 371st Infantry Division, Sakagami Hinata, mobilized three infantry regiments to defend outside the city. The artillery regiment and the cavalry regiment were converted into infantry to defend around the city walls. A total of 3 Japanese combat personnel built a ring of fortifications around the city to prevent the Qin army from attacking.

On the top of the city wall, there are a large number of heavy machine gunners looking down. As long as the Qin army dares to attack, the heavy machine guns with a range of up to 1800 meters will form a metal storm to teach the Qin army a lesson.

In addition, all the heavy weapons within the entire division, such as the 96 large-caliber artillery pieces and the artillery squadron equipped by the infantry regiment, totaling 150 artillery pieces are in place, with enough artillery shells to ensure that the Qin army can be given a heavy beating!

Hinata Sakagami inspected the position and was full of confidence. Even though their division had lost more than half of its regiment, it still had sufficient firepower, with 580 light and heavy machine guns. With this firepower throughput, what could the Qin army do to them?

There are also troop deployments, city fortifications, and so on, so after Sakagami Hinata inspected it, he actually hoped that the Qin army would arrive sooner, as he wanted to see the scene of the Qin army being massacred.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Qin army arrived!

God will fulfill the Japanese's wishes. Just as Hinata Sakagami was expecting the Qin army soldiers to arrive soon, Cai Jianming arrived at Boulder City with the First Infantry Division.

"Yo ho!"

Cai Jianming said while holding the telescope, "This little devil is quite fast."

"It was quite fast," the chief of staff responded. "All the fortifications are ready, but they are still the same old fortifications around the city, the content of the seventh section of the first chapter of the textbook. The Japanese are really stupid. They just copied it without adding their own ideas. They ruined such a good book."

"Hey!"

Cai Jianming put down the telescope and said, "The Japanese's offensive tactics are ever-changing, which makes us a little unpredictable. Their combat effectiveness is not weak, and they can be called elite troops. However, as for defense, I think the Japanese haven't studied defensive tactics much, otherwise they would not be able to use our tactics unchangingly!"

"What do you mean?" Cai Jianming looked at the chief of staff and said, "Let's do it!"

"It's feasible," the chief of staff put down the telescope and said, "We don't have to take down this huge stone city anyway. The higher-ups just want us to hit the Japanese and see what they will do. So this will be much easier."

"Let's do this," Cai Jianming said, "Let our artillery attack first, and quickly withdraw after a round of fighting. Then, let the Japanese expose the position of the artillery unit, and then hand over the data to the heavy artillery division, and let the heavy artillery division knock out the Japanese artillery unit. After that, all the soldiers of our division will attack for an hour, and then quickly withdraw. What do you think?"

"no problem."

The chief of staff nodded and said, "Before we fight, let's contact our superiors to see if there are any new instructions. If we really want to take over Boulder City, we can be prepared."

"Ah."

After that, the artillery unit began to move out. The battalion commander commanded 96 artillery pieces divided into four artillery positions to bombard the enemy's frontal defense positions.

"fire!"

96 artillery shells began to eject from the muzzles. After the shells were fired, military towed vehicles were quickly dispatched to transport all 96 artillery pieces away from the original artillery positions.

"Boom!"

96 artillery shells exploded at the Japanese front-line positions. The Japanese artillery units quickly adjusted their positions and fired directly at the target, launching 150 shells to counterattack.

"Kill the chicken and give it to me!"

The Japs began to fire artillery shells frantically. Before the second round of artillery shells from the Qin army arrived, the Japs' artillery began to smile with victory, because the Qin army's artillery did not fight back, indicating that the Qin army's artillery positions had been destroyed by them.

"Keep shooting!"

The Japanese artillery commander once again commanded, "Kill these damn Qin soldiers."

While the Japanese were firing frantically, the heavy artillery division in the rear was about 15 kilometers away from the Japanese artillery positions. This distance was an insurmountable bottleneck for all howitzers, because no country in the world currently had a howitzer that could reach a range of 15 kilometers, but the Qin family did it at this time.

48 152mm howitzers lay on the ground like ancient beasts. After obtaining the specific parameters, the artillery division commander began to personally command the artillery to adjust the muzzles and then fire shells.

"Three rounds of artillery fire extended, fire at me!"

"boom!"

The earth was shaking, and the stones on the ground were shaken up. High-explosive bombs with a caliber of up to 152 mm began to cross the sky. One shell weighed 40 kilograms, or 80 pounds. From this, you can imagine how powerful the explosion of this shell is.

The first high-explosive bomb landed, but unfortunately it failed to hit the Japanese artillery position, but hit the city wall. Under the attack of this high-explosive bomb, a crack actually appeared on the huge stone wall. As the second shell hit the city wall as well, the crack began to spread like a spider web.

"Boom!"

A high-explosive bomb hit the Japanese artillery position accurately. The flames rising into the sky overturned the Japanese artillery, and the Japanese were swallowed by the flames. After the flames disappeared, a five-meter-wide deep pit was left behind.

"this!"

"What shells are they?"

The Japanese looked at the five-meter-wide deep pit in shock. This really refreshed their cognition. They had never seen such a powerful land artillery shell. One shot created a deep pit. To call it a deep pit was not enough to describe the power of this shell. It could be said that one shot created a small pond.

"boom!"

Soon after, more and more artillery shells began to fall, and the entire position in front of Boulder City was engulfed in a sea of ​​fire. The solid city walls began to crack and then collapsed.

The Japanese soldiers on the city wall were also buried alive. The division commander Sakagami Hinata looked at this scene in amazement, his heart was in turmoil, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, because he had never seen any artillery shells that could blast open the solid city wall so easily. But now he saw that only seven artillery shells blasted open this solid city wall, so he was shocked.

Thinking that the Qin army had such a siege weapon in their hands, Sakagami Hinata suddenly felt a chill on his back. Doesn't this mean that in the future, the Qin army soldiers will be able to attack the city as easily as walking on flat ground?

Three rounds of extended firepower, 144 heavy artillery shells completely stunned the Japanese, and while the Japanese artillery positions were destroyed, the First Infantry Division assembled all artillery and opened fire again. The entire Japanese position was engulfed in a sea of ​​fire. In just half a quarter of an hour, the Qin army fired thousands of artillery shells, worth more than 20 silver dollars.

Of course, the Japanese also paid a heavy price. This Boulder City, as one of the gateways to Yizhou, collapsed under the bombardment of howitzers. This was an unexpected result.

While the artillery fire was suppressing the attack, Cai Jianming began to order his troops to attack!
