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

Xinshang City, as one of the 26 urban districts in the imperial city, no longer has its former prosperity. All that is left are pieces of debris. At the core of these debris is a huge city. This city has been patched up so as not to become a ruin like the surrounding environment.

Outside this city, there are two divisions of troops from the Eastern Kingdom stationed. Inside this city, there is a division serving as a support division, forming a triangular formation to guard the Xinshang City.

"Buzzing."

Batches of fighter planes appeared in the sky above Xinshang City. These fighter planes were naturally the air force support requested by Li Yunfei. After his order was issued, two infantry divisions had arrived at the corresponding locations to contain the Japanese in the two urban areas. The remaining troops, namely four infantry divisions, two special operations brigades, one armored division, and one heavy artillery division, began to encircle and suppress the three Japanese divisions inside Xinshang City.

Before the encirclement and suppression, Li Yunfei also applied for air support, because there were thousands of fighter planes in the rear. If he didn't use it, would he let the enemy eat dust in the rear?

"Arrived at the bombing site, requesting to drop, requesting to drop."

On the distant skyline, two majestic groups of aircraft gradually appeared, cutting through the sky like steel eagles, and rushing towards Xinshang City where the Japanese were entrenched.

The first to arrive were 36 combat bombers. They had sturdy fuselages and heavy bombs hanging under their wings. They flashed a cold metallic luster under the sunlight, revealing a deadly aura.

"approve."

The fleet of planes flew low over Xinshang City in an orderly formation. At the commander's command, bombs poured down from the bellies of the planes like raindrops.

"Whoosh whoosh."

In an instant, a deafening explosion broke the tranquility of the city. The bombs exploded in the Japanese city area. The powerful impact force blew huge craters on the ground. The surrounding buildings shook violently under the impact of the explosion.

Those seven or eight meter high buildings were completely vulnerable to the force of the explosion. The wooden structures were instantly engulfed in flames, the fire spread rapidly, and thick smoke rose into the sky. The brick and stone structures were also shaken by the impact of the bomb, with walls cracked and roofs collapsed, and broken bricks and tiles poured down like a waterfall, burying the Japanese inside.

The streets were suddenly filled with dust and the pungent smell of gunpowder and blood. The Japanese soldiers screamed in terror and fled in all directions, but their figures seemed so small and helpless in the overwhelming bombing.

Then, 36 more powerful strategic bombers appeared in the sky above Xinshang City. The bombs carried by these aerial giants were even more powerful, and each one was enough to change the topography of an area. As the strategic bombers dropped their bombs, the huge bombs roared down.

"boom!"

The moment it landed, it exploded with even more terrifying power. The entire Xinshang City seemed to be shrouded in a nightmare, the earth trembled violently, and the fire and smoke dyed the sky blood red.

In the center of the city, an aerial bomb directly hit an important stronghold of the Japanese. In an instant, a large building was razed to the ground, and everything around it was swept into it by the powerful air wave and turned into dust. The Japanese who once showed off their power in the stronghold had now disappeared without a trace, leaving only a ruin and the smell of death in the air.

The situation was equally tragic at the frontline of Xinshang City. The explosion of bombs shattered the fortifications, the barbed wire was blown to pieces, the trenches were filled, and the sandbags were blown away. The defense line that the Japanese had painstakingly built no longer existed in these rounds of bombing, and was replaced by a messy battlefield and piles of corpses.

Broken limbs and arms were everywhere, and blood gathered into streams, flowing slowly between the craters, dyeing the land a dark red.

The bombing was still going on, and the entire Xinshang City had fallen into a living hell. The raging fire burned every inch of land, and from time to time the Japanese soldiers' faint cries for help could be heard from the ruins, but they were soon drowned out by the explosions.

"Rocket artillery troops, prepare, fire!"

"Heavy artillery, set the firing parameters, five rounds of salvo, fire!"

The roar of the bombers gradually faded away, leaving behind a dead silence covered by smoke and fire. However, this was only the prelude to this symphony of death.

Immediately afterwards, the rocket artillery brigade came on the scene, opening a chapter of more intense firepower strikes.

More than 1700 rocket shells had been waiting on the launchers, and as the commander gave the order, flames shot up into the sky and thick smoke billowed from the rocket artillery brigade's positions. Rocket shells were like angry meteors, dragging long tails of flames, and shot towards the Japanese frontier positions with overwhelming force.

"Whoosh whoosh."

In an instant, the Japanese front-line positions were engulfed by a wall of fire. The continuous explosions were deafening, and the earth was shaking violently, as if groaning in pain.

The power of the rocket shells was extremely amazing. Each explosion raised a huge cloud of smoke and fire, engulfing everything around it. Dirt and rocks were blown high into the sky, and then fell back to the ground like raindrops.

Under this sudden attack, the Japanese soldiers had no time to make any effective response. Their bodies were instantly torn into pieces by the impact of the explosion, and their limbs and arms flew everywhere. Some were even vaporized and disappeared without a trace, leaving only the pungent smoke and the disgusting smell of blood in the air.

At this time, the heavy artillery division also joined this deadly ensemble. More than 200 heavy artillery pieces were neatly lined up in the rear positions, and the black muzzles were like the entrance to hell, exuding endless majesty and the breath of death.

The officers and soldiers of the heavy artillery division quickly loaded the shells and adjusted the shooting angles. With deafening roars, heavy artillery shells whizzed towards the Japanese front-line positions and accurately hit the bunkers and firing points.

The first heavy artillery shell hit a sturdy bunker. The huge impact force directly blew off the top of the bunker. The Japanese soldiers inside were thrown high into the air by the explosion, and then fell heavily to the ground, their lives uncertain.

Soon after, more shells followed, blasting the fortifications around the bunker to pieces. Sandbags were blown all over the sky, and the barbed wire was torn into countless pieces, scattered all over the ground. The firing points hidden by the Japanese were not spared either. The heavy machine guns were blown into a pile of scrap metal by the shells, and the shooters were blown into a bloody mess, and their original appearance could not be recognized at all.

Under the joint attack of the rocket artillery brigade and the heavy artillery division, the frontline positions of the Japanese were completely in a desperate situation. Their defense line was completely destroyed, and the morale of the soldiers had collapsed to the extreme. Some Japanese soldiers were so scared that they collapsed to the ground, incontinent, with fear and despair in their eyes. The positions they once thought were extremely solid, under the powerful firepower, were as fragile as paper.

"idiot!"

After learning about the situation on the front line, the Japanese commander began to mobilize 500 artillery pieces, preparing to fire poison gas bombs to inflict fatal damage to the Qin army.
