Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

After the first shell exploded, all the Japanese heard a whistling sound coming from the air.

This voice was very familiar to them, like a devil whispering in their ears, a deadly horn from hell.

Even though the shells were whistling towards them and one had already exploded, there were still many Japanese soldiers who were unwilling to believe that this was true.

To be precise, it is hard to believe that the Eighth Route Army, which never even had mortars, could have such fierce artillery fire.

“Swoosh~Boom!”

next second.

Large-caliber artillery shells rained down on their ranks.

When the 150mm caliber howitzer fell again, the -meter killing radius just matched the range of the previous shell's explosion.

Lin Qiang checked the impact point through the telescope. It was the first time he saw such a wide range of destructive power, and he was shocked.

When this big guy was produced, Lin Qiang knew that it would be very powerful. Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still stunned by the visual impact.

What does it mean to fry a large area at once?

What the fuck? It’s called a big explosion!

What the hell, yell, one explosion, a huge piece!

This is called a big explosion!

The scene was beyond description as chaos. The Japanese soldiers who were hit by bullets disappeared as if by magic.

Not even a hair was left.

The monk couldn't help but clap his hands and shouted "Good!"

Lin Qiang was startled and subconsciously raised his hand to slap the monk on the back of the head.

"Why are you so excited? You scared me!"

"hey-hey!"

The monk touched the back of his head and laughed heartlessly, "I'm just happy! The Japs were blown to pieces, leaving nothing behind. This saves my brothers from having to collect their bodies!"

The shelling continued, and the impact points began to move to the rear of the Japanese troops, forcing the Japanese to charge forward with all their might.

Logically speaking, the howitzer has a long range, and its first target is not the Japanese infantry, but to destroy the Japanese artillery positions.

However, a Japanese regiment could only carry infantry artillery at most, and could not fire that far.

Unlike a howitzer, it can be used at close range or far distance.

As the shells fell, not a blade of grass grew, not even a human could be seen in the area within the explosion range.

Even if the Japanese turned to ashes on the spot, they would still fly around like a kite with a broken string.

Before dying, those flying devils were still being attacked by the memories of the dead, as if they were back on that small island, being blown around by the tornado.

The Japanese soldiers who had experience in being bombed chose to prostrate themselves, but they had never been bombed by a 150mm caliber howitzer, and they didn't know that even if they lay down, the shock wave generated by the explosion would shatter their internal organs and cause bleeding from all seven orifices.

The power of the 105mm howitzer should not be underestimated, and it can still destroy a large area with one blast.

Before they even saw the Eighth Route Army's position, the Japanese had already suffered heavy losses.

In just a few minutes, the Japanese were driven forward about a kilometer like ducks, which was much faster than Yamamoto Ikki's order!

Many Japanese retreated under the artillery fire, but unfortunately, the explosion of the howitzer completely shattered their luck.

At this point, their situation was that if they moved, they would die, and if they didn't, they would also die. The only difference was that they would die under howitzers of different calibers.

Kong Jie handed the telescope to the guard beside him and said dully, "Look, see how they fight the Japanese."

Being Kong Jie's bodyguard, I wouldn't say he is the best soldier in the entire New Second Regiment, but he is definitely one of the best.

After seeing the power of the howitzer, he completely lost interest in the mortar he had just borrowed.

"Captain, look at those devils. They don't run away, but hide in the two largest bomb craters. Isn't that just waiting to die?"

Hearing this, Kong Jie took the telescope and took a look. It was indeed true, so he explained: "A famous military expert once said that no shells would fall into the same crater. I guess those devils think the same way."

"Captain, is this really the case?"

The guard said thoughtfully: "Can we use this explanation to avoid the Japanese artillery shells in the future?"

"If you really want to do this, then wait for death?"

"Captain, didn't you say it was possible?"

Kong Jie glared: "When did I say that?"

He handed the telescope to the guard and said unhappily, "You'll know for yourself!"

The guard looked through the telescope and saw that the Japanese soldiers hiding in the bomb craters were motionless. Upon closer inspection, they found that they were either dead or seriously injured.

Before he could ask Kong Jie, he saw a shell fall to the edge of the crater. He waited for a long time before the smoke and dust cleared.

Take a closer look.

Good guy!

The two big pits were connected together, and there was no trace of the Japanese devils anywhere.

The guard sighed in his heart: They are indeed the Japs, coming and going without a trace!

The howitzer bombardment gradually slowed down as the Japs were completely driven into the ambush range.

The next to perform were the militia, who had already been "hungry and thirsty".

The explosives were ignited, and some of the Japanese soldiers who survived the bombardment were killed by the explosives before they had time to catch their breath.

The explosions everywhere made the Japanese dare not stop, and finally they began to rush forward.

When the Japanese soldiers in front saw this, they thought that the artillery fire was coming again, and they ran away even faster!

After a burst of smoke and dust, only broken limbs were left on the ground, and the Japanese soldiers who survived by chance were also missing limbs.

Although the militia hiding in the dark were not very good at shooting, they still managed to relieve the Japanese from their suffering with a few bullets.

However, there are always exceptions.

It was the first time for a teenager to touch a gun, and his shooting skills were terrible, not to mention being completely useless.

He fired several shots but missed, but the child was still stubborn and refused to let anyone else help him, insisting on avenging his parents with his own hands.

Some say his shooting skills are bad, and his bullets always hit the Japanese. Some say his shooting skills are good, but he just can't hit them.

The injured Japanese soldier tried desperately to dodge the bullets, but his movement speed was completely negligible.

After several bullets missed again, the Japanese soldier could not stand this torture anymore. He stretched out his hand to reach the gun that fell to the ground not far away, but he was always just a little bit short.

Fortunately, the last shot successfully hit the Japanese in the chest. The militia completed its mission and quickly retreated into the mountains.

If they cleaned up the battlefield, they would definitely see the smile on the devil's face.

The Japanese soldiers at the front thought they had escaped, but what greeted them was a new round of artillery bombardment.

The difference is that although this bombardment was very intensive, its power was less than one-third of the previous one.

Infantry guns and mortars bombarded the enemy in turns, and the Japanese troops that had been assembled with great difficulty were blown apart again.

Yamamoto Ikki braved the artillery fire and personally organized the artillery to set up positions and launch a counterattack.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he left, a 105mm howitzer fell on the artillery position.

Only then did he realize that the enemy had not run out of ammunition, but was waiting for his artillery to concentrate so that they could blow up all the shells.

Now that there was no artillery fire back, Yamamoto Ikki was a little confused and forgot all about special operations and beheading behind enemy lines.

His mind was blank at this moment.

The shelling lasted for more than ten minutes. The moment it stopped, the Japanese retreated like crazy to escape.

But long before that, Hu Zi and Qiang Zi had already blocked the Japanese's retreat route.

From this moment on, the cruelty of war was revealed!
