Anti-Japanese War: When I get promoted, the system will explode with soldiers

Chapter 1004 The Strongest Artillery Bombardment in History

General Matsui and a dozen other generals of the Japanese Pujiang Expeditionary Force have now arrived less than a thousand meters away from the frontline. They have also received news from a traitor in the National Army that at nine o'clock this morning, Li Shaoyi will counterattack all Japanese troops on the Pujiang battlefield.

The top brass of the Japanese military had long known that after Li Shaoyi became the commander of the Pujiang War Zone, he would definitely not fight in the same way as before.

The army under this guy is powerful, and they have plenty of money and weapons. If something happens in Pujiang, Pujiang will most likely become a permanent pain for the Japanese army like Tianjin and Beijing.

But what could be done even if they knew? Should the Japanese Army abandon Pujiang? This was simply impossible. From the formulation to the implementation of the Pujiang battle plan, countless people had been involved in the heartache and exhaustion, and countless people's reputations and promotions had been affected.

So even if there is danger, we must hold on here. If the Pujiang Expeditionary Force ends the Pujiang War just because of a change of commander-in-chief, then where will the face of the entire Japan be?

After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, many Japanese arrogantly said that China was no longer viable and had entered a historical process of decline. We only need to make a little effort to swallow this elephant into our stomachs. Our people will no longer have to live on the poor land, but can live on the mainland like the Chinese people, allowing them to live a more prosperous life.

Now they believe that the opportunity has finally arrived. As long as they fight hard, they can occupy a large amount of land along the coast of China, and then slowly infiltrate inward. It will only take one to two years to force the whole of China to surrender.

By then, all our citizens will come to the land of China. They will all come as landlords, responsible for managing all the Chinese farmers, and will exploit this land for generations, allowing the entire Japan to achieve a qualitative leap.

Of course, this idea is very good, but in the past five thousand years, heroes have emerged in large numbers on the land of China. Whenever a country is in decline, there will always be a group of people who will carry the sky without fear of life and death.

Before the 72nd Army arrived, the more than 500,000 troops who fought bloody battles in Pujiang did not allow the Japanese to occupy Pujiang, shattering their intention to occupy Pujiang in three months.

Now the 72nd Army is transporting more than two to three thousand troops to Pujiang every day, and the Pujiang positions are being strengthened everywhere.

If the Japanese still want to take Pujiang, according to the telegram sent by Matsui Iwane to the domestic headquarters, they will need at least 400,000 troops.

If there had not been losses in Tianjin and Beijing, the Japanese headquarters would have been able to send out this batch of troops. However, the losses in Tianjin and Beijing were too great. The personnel newly recruited from the country were still being trained. Sending these untrained people to the battlefield would be irresponsible to them.

But if these people are not sent here, according to General Matsui's prediction, it will not be long before they will lose their foothold in Pujiang under Li Shaoyi's counterattack and may be forced to retreat to several strongholds on the coast.

Time passed minute by minute, and many Japanese generals kept looking at their watches. It was getting closer and closer to nine o'clock. They didn't know how this guy would launch a counterattack, and it would be a counterattack on the entire front.

"The general attack begins."

These four short words were sent out from the Luodian front-line command room. After that, Li Shaoyi came to the earth wall outside the command room and watched how his army was beating up the Japanese.

The entire Pujiang seemed to be shaking. More than 400 artillery pieces of the 1st Artillery Division, together with more than 260 artillery pieces that arrived at Pujiang before, a total of 690 artillery pieces with a caliber of more than 100 mm, simultaneously poured shells at the Japanese positions.

Standing at every point of the Longguo position, one could see how badly the Japanese position in front of them had been bombed. There were fire mushrooms one after another on the position, as if they had appeared out of thin air. Of course, they were not real mushrooms, but a shell with a caliber of more than 100 mm. The explosion left no grass growing in the area of ​​thousands of square meters around it.

The First Artillery Division let all the Pujiang participating troops see that it was not that we did not have artillery, but that we had been blocked by the Supreme Military Commission before, which caused us to miss the opportunity to fight. Now that the artillery has arrived, the Japanese artillery is no match for us at all.

On the position opposite Luodian, the Japanese suffered an even more severe blow. In addition to the original artillery, Li Shaoyi also brought in six 203mm Land Overlords.

This is also one of the latest weapons unlocked by the system. Each cannon of this thing requires fourteen people to serve, but the shells fired are also quite powerful. After a shell hits the ground, almost everyone within the surrounding area of ​​nearly three thousand square meters will have no chance of survival. Even if you are a little far away, the shock wave will cause damage to your internal organs.

The brothers nearby had a thick layer of dust on their heads, but they shook their hats vigorously and watched the giant cannon speak happily. It was so exciting.

Although a batch of artillery pieces were launched on the distant Japanese positions, they were far inferior to the main force of the 1st Artillery Division.

The Japanese army brought out more than 300 artillery pieces today, preparing to fight an evenly matched artillery battle with us. Unfortunately, they lost at the very beginning, especially in terms of large-caliber heavy artillery.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the shelling was still going on. Everyone was surprised at how many shells Li Shaoyi had prepared. The Japanese artillery had been silenced. Except for a part that was blown up by us, we did not have enough shells for the remaining part.

Now their cannons are still there, but because they have no shells, they can only lie down on the side and wait for the people behind them to bring up the shells. They don’t know whether these cannons are still there.

On the other hand, the 1st Artillery Division had just fired half of its shells. According to Li Shaoyi's request, all Japanese positions in Pujiang had to be bombarded continuously for two hours.

Someone in the newspaper had already said that with this kind of fighting, all the rats in the Japanese positions would be killed.

The brothers on the battlefield don't care about this. They hope that the artillery fire will never stop. As long as the artillery fire does not stop, it means that the casualties of the Japanese army will continue to increase, and when we rush over later, the resistance we encounter will be lower.

General Matsui and his men had been moved to an underground bunker. The heavy artillery fire had been too powerful, with some shells exploding dozens of meters around them, frightening some generals to death...
