Anti-Japanese War: I have a million soldiers and you call me a division commander?

"Colonel, the Chinese are making a move!"

Early in the morning, as soon as the troops made any movement, it was immediately reported to the Japanese Colonel Sakata who was in charge of the command.

"Shh!"

Upon hearing this, Colonel Sakata immediately dropped what he was holding, stood up and walked out. Ten minutes later, he arrived at the East City Gate.

at this time!

The collapsed city wall at the East Gate was temporarily blocked after a night of repairs.

But whether it can withstand another bombing is a question.

Colonel Sakata had no good solution to this problem.

"hiss!"

After climbing up the city wall and looking through the telescope at the crowded Chinese troops two kilometers away, Colonel Sakata couldn't help but gasp.

When the Chinese attacked yesterday, there were quite a few people, but overall, there were only about five or six thousand of them.

But today, there are at least more than 3,000 people just at the East City Gate.

News also came from several other city gates, indicating the presence of a large number of Chinese troops.

"Colonel, what should we do?"

Colonel Sakata came down from the city wall with a very grim expression, and a Japanese major couldn't help but ask.

"How to do?"

Hearing his subordinate's question, he paused for a moment and said, "First, rely on the defensive fortifications we have built to hold on, deplete the Chinese manpower as much as possible, and wait for the main force to rescue us."

"At the same time, order the reserve forces to build defensive positions within the county, with the command center as the core."

"Once the Chinese break into the city, we will engage in street fighting with them."

When saying this, Colonel Sakata tried his best to keep his expression calm. Although he knew that there would be no reinforcements, this news could not be leaked.

Otherwise, the entire county will be unstable.

There are more than 10,000 troops in the county town, but there are more than 5,000 puppet troops. He is very confident in the imperial warriors and everyone will fight to the death, but he cannot guarantee the same for those imperial army.

He wasn't one of those roughnecks who rose to prominence through military exploits. He was a graduate of a regular military academy, considered himself educated, and remembered a saying from someone unknown: "A fortress is conquered from within!"

If the Chinese artillery fire remained at the same density as yesterday, he would be confident that he could hold on.

After the inspection, Colonel Sakata did not stay and returned to the command center to take charge.

The reserve troops in the county town began to get busy, and began to build circles of defensive positions on the streets, relying on houses, sandbags, etc.

In order to fight street battles, in addition to these fortifications, the Japanese also broke through the houses and wanted to fight through the rooms in the county town.

Six twenty!

Chu Feng came to the Little David artillery position.

"Report to the division commander, the three artillery positions are ready and can fire at any time!"

Seeing Chu Feng coming, Chen Yike, the commander of the Little David Artillery Regiment summoned by the system, saluted Chu Feng and reported loudly.

"Ok!"

Chu Feng nodded slightly when he heard this, and his eyes swept over the three Little David cannons.

At this time, the three huge cannons had been erected, and 1.7-ton shells were loaded into the muzzles.

He asked Chen Yike some questions, stayed at the artillery position for more than ten minutes, then drove away and came to the temporary command post two kilometers outside the east gate of Ying County.

"Commander!!!"

Just as Chu Feng arrived, he heard a familiar voice coming from outside the door.

Then, Ge Dayong, Commander Yang Wu of the First Military Sub-district of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, and the head of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army walked in from outside.

"Dayong, Commander Yang, why are you here?"

Looking at the three people, Chu Feng stood up with a smile and asked.

"I heard from Old Li that we just received a batch of huge cannons and will test-fire them in Ying County today. I came here out of curiosity!" Hearing Chu Feng's question, Ge Dayong replied with a smile.

After Ge Dayong finished speaking, Commander Yang Wu smiled and said, "I went to Yuan County to inquire if there was anyone from our First Military Sub-district who could cooperate. I didn't expect to see this batch of cannons being delivered. I told Director Li and followed him here."

As for the leader of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army, he said briefly, "I'm about the same. I heard what Deputy Division Commander Ge said and came here out of curiosity."

I heard that the three of them had the same goal and were all here for little David.

Chu Feng smiled and said, "You guys came at the perfect time. If you were 10 minutes later, you wouldn't have been able to see it." He pointed to the watch on his wrist and said, "It's almost seven o'clock. The attack will officially begin at seven o'clock."

"Hahahaha!"

Hearing Chu Feng's words, the three of them laughed.

"That's fine, that's fine, as long as I don't miss it!"

Chu Feng was talking with Commander Yang Wu, and soon it was seven o'clock.

As three flares were launched into the air, everyone held their breath and stared at Ying County.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As I was waiting, three huge roars suddenly came from behind me.

Then, everyone heard a sharp whistling sound in the sky, and a few seconds later, they saw a ball of fire blooming at the east gate of Ying County.

"Boom!!!"

Following the first burst of fire, the second and third bursts of fire exploded at the East City Gate.

For a cannon of such a large caliber, there is no need to be too demanding on accuracy. Given its destructive power, it doesn't matter even if it is off by 10 or 20 meters.

One shot, all beings are equal!

No matter how it explodes, it is within the range.

"Boom!!! Boom!!!!"

Looking at the three rising fireballs, the people standing two kilometers away felt as if the ground was shaking beneath their feet.

Under the observation of the telescope, the first shell fell and the east gate of Ying County was directly overturned and shattered. Not only the gate tower was gone, but the main gate was also gone. A gap of more than ten meters and a crater several meters deep appeared.

Two more shells, one on the left and one on the right.

It exploded in front of the city wall, and the fixed fortifications built on the city wall were directly blown up.

The city wall behind it also collapsed and was blown up!

The three shells created a blank area of ​​over a hundred meters, where no people or buildings could be seen.

Only three craters of varying depths and a crumbling city wall remained.

"hiss!!!!"

Seeing the horrific effect caused by little David, everyone gasped, their eyes filled with shock.

Although everyone had guessed about the power of the cannon, after seeing it, they found that their imagination was too limited.

It was also the first time that Chu Feng saw the power of Little David. Although the introduction said that Little David flattened a mountain with one shot, the description was still too inadequate.

After seeing it for real, Chu Feng couldn't help but shudder all over. His scalp was numb, and he muttered, "Is this the power of the 914mm cannon?"

“Is this the charm of large-caliber artillery?”

"I suddenly fell in love with large-caliber artillery!"
