"It's hard to say, maybe they really have such ability." Luo Zhenggang's voice had not yet fallen when suddenly, countless shells streaked across the sky like meteors, whistling towards them.

His eyes widened in shock, and he roared angrily, "These devils' artillerymen are simply crazy! Shouldn't their shells be saved for attacking Changsha? Why are they bombarding us so crazily?"

Yu Huaisheng and others also noticed the sudden bombardment.

He was extremely anxious. He quickly picked up the tin trumpet and shouted at the top of his voice: "Get down! Everyone, get down!"

Jiang Jiyun was awakened from his sleep by the deafening sound of bombing.

She was horrified to find herself being held tightly in her uncle's arms, lying in the trench, avoiding the fierce bombardment of artillery shells.

This thrilling bombing lasted for nearly ten minutes. Everyone was unable to raise their heads and had to protect their guns and ammunition to avoid the bombing.

Finally, when the last explosion sounded, everything returned to calm.

As soon as the bombing ended, Jiang Wenming took the cotton out of his ears, then quickly got up, lay down at the edge of the trench, and vigilantly observed the Japanese soldiers opposite.

Jiang Jiyun also quickly got up from the ground and stood steadily beside his uncle, watching the movement in front of him nervously.

Jiang Wenming took out his phone and contacted someone else. "Xiaotian, now it's our turn to give gifts to the devils. Are you ready?"

"emission!"

When Jiang Jiyun came closer, he heard Xiaotian shouting "fire".

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

Jiang Jiyun's head was still a little dizzy, so she opened her kettle and started drinking. It was filled with space water, and after a few sips, her brain instantly became clear.

The Kuomintang troops at the gate of Shiba County saw that there was a sudden artillery counterattack from another place where the guerrillas were ambushed. The artillery shells were fired at the Japanese positions like a meteor shower.

Luo Zhen asked the adjutant beside him in confusion, "Did those seven or eight hundred guerrillas just now have cannons?"

The adjutant looked at this thrilling scene and said in surprise, "I didn't see them with any artillery. Are the guerrillas nowadays so powerful?"

The people behind him sighed, "It's like a little cow riding a plane. It's so awesome! Our regiment doesn't even have so many shells!"

Not only did they think so, the Japanese on the opposite side also thought so.

Iwai, the team leader, was stunned by the sudden explosion and his head was buzzing.

He stared at the person beside him with wide eyes and astonishment, and asked in a trembling voice, "Didn't they say that the interceptors weren't regular troops? Why is their firepower so strong?"

A captain lying next to him suddenly shouted, "Colonel, the information we gathered earlier mentioned that there are not only guerrillas here, but also a regiment of the Nationalist Army. Could it be that they are launching a counterattack?"

Iwai felt a pang of anxiety when he heard this.

He tried to calm himself down and think carefully about what the captain said.

Indeed, according to their previous intelligence, there shouldn't be such powerful firepower here.

If it really was a regiment of the National Army counterattacking, then everything would make sense.

Iwai's expression darkened. He gritted his teeth and managed to utter, "It's very likely them. They're the ones guarding Changsha City. If they're Principal Jiang's favorite students, they might possess such formidable firepower."

His eyes were fixed on the front, where there were blazing flames and violent explosions everywhere. From time to time, shells fell like raindrops near them, raising clouds of dust and smoke.

Iwai's heart was filled with anger and resentment. He said viciously, "Baga! If I don't kill all the enemies in this county today and avenge our soldiers, I will not be called Iwai Jiro!!!"

The Japanese bombing lasted only ten minutes, but Oda and his men bombed for nearly twenty minutes.

This sudden bombing dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese regiment, with nearly half of the troops killed or wounded.

Iwai Jiro originally thought that this move of his would catch the enemy by surprise and allow him to capture Shiba County in advance.

He never expected that he would be caught off guard by the enemy and his troops would suffer heavy losses.

This was the first battle outside the city, and before the troops behind officially opened fire, they had already lost half of their men.

At the same time, the guerrillas on the other side were not spared and also suffered a lot of casualties.

In the guerrillas' logistics department, two doctors were busy treating the wounded, and Nikki and others were also helping.

Shi Jing'an, who was in charge of guarding the special medicines, witnessed with his own eyes that the seriously injured comrades were able to quickly recover their strength after taking these special medicines and return to the battlefield to fight bravely.

This made him value these medicines to a higher level.

Shi Jingan knew very well that these special medicines were life-saving treasures, and each pill could save a life.

Therefore, he was extremely cautious in using these medicines and only trusted two doctors - Zhang Heng and Su Qianfan.

Only when the two of them said in person that a certain wounded soldier really needed special medicine, would Shi Jingan take out the medicine without hesitation.

After all, these medications are available in limited quantities and aren't necessary for people with minor injuries.

The lightly injured can be treated with other conventional means, but these special medicines must be reserved for those comrades who are seriously injured and on the verge of death.

He always insisted that every pill represented a life and must not be wasted in his hands.

Oda quickly put away the cannon and led his troops hurriedly back to the trenches.

When he arrived at the trench, he saw Jiang Wenming and others standing ready to meet the Japanese attack.

Jiang Jiyun stood at the edge of the trench, her eyes fixed on the front, while the mortars behind her were neatly arranged and ready to go.

At this time, the Japanese also guessed that the enemy's bombardment had completely ended, so they reorganized their troops and prepared to launch a charge.

Jiang Jiyun stared at the approaching Japanese soldiers. They wore their iconic helmets with butt curtains, held rifles, and moved forward carefully step by step, firing a shot with every step.

Just as the Japanese were about to enter the firing range, Jiang Wenming suddenly shouted: "Fire!"

In an instant, the shells whizzed out, followed by a series of explosions, "boom boom boom..."

The national army soldiers watching the battle at the city gate witnessed this shocking scene again. They were surprised to find that the guerrillas' artillery shells were once again poured out without reservation.

Luo Zhen stared at the scene with wide eyes in disbelief, and he swallowed hard.

He turned to the person beside him and asked, "Are you sure they are just guerrillas? Is it possible that a brigade of friendly troops has arrived and we are completely unaware of it?"
