The first Japanese soldier peeked out from around the corner and glanced at the passageway inside the air-raid shelter.

The battle officially began, and before the Japanese soldier could even pull his head back, Zhang Weiguo blew his head off with an MXC assault rifle.

The Japanese squad leader, who had entered the air-raid shelter, also got a clear look at the head hanging from the ceiling.

Upon discovering that it was not the head of his own prince, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered his men to halt their attack.

The first wave of Japanese attacks ended with five deaths.

Before the attack began, the battalion commander instructed them not to accidentally injure the heads hanging from the top.

If the prince is accidentally beheaded during a firefight, he can simply commit seppuku.

After the attack ceased, the squad leader quickly arranged for a soldier to go outside the air-raid shelter to report the news to the battalion commander and await further orders.

Miyamoto Musashi and Xiaoquanzhou Jiyuan, who were outside the air-raid shelter, breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving the news.

To ensure the authenticity of the news, Miyamoto Musashi disregarded his subordinates' objections and went directly to the entrance of the air-raid shelter to confirm it in person.

When Miyamoto Musashi looked at the head hanging on the cave ceiling more than 10 meters away, he realized that it was not Prince Asaka Bird.

He breathed a sigh of relief; he hadn't been afraid of accidentally hitting the prince on the head during the battle.

He really didn't know how to face Emperor Tianhuang, who was Emperor Tianhuang's own uncle.

But then he felt that the person looked familiar, and he carefully recalled it in his mind.

The next moment his face turned green. He remembered that the owner of this head was General Hiroshima.

Miyamoto Musashi now feels like tearing the people inside to pieces.

With a gloomy expression, he told the news to Jiyuan, a small town in Quanzhou, which was not far away.

Upon hearing this news, Xiao Quanzhou Jiyuan was filled with rage. Two high-ranking officers of the Empire had already died at the hands of these people.

This is nothing short of a provocation against the empire.

The little Quanzhou Jiyuan had just relaxed somewhat after receiving news that the head on the top of the cave was not that of a prince.

Before I could even relax, I heard Miyamoto Musashi say that the head belonged to General Doi-maru Kenji.

The people of Jiyuan in Quanzhou are now so angry they could curse their mothers.

With an angry expression, Xiao Quanzhou Jiyuan immediately ordered the attack to continue.

After receiving the order, the Japanese launched another fierce attack. Because the passages in the air-raid shelter were very narrow, the Japanese could only send out 3 to 4 people to attack at the same time.

The Japanese soldiers behind them followed closely, using the soldiers in front as cover to quickly advance into the passage.

But this situation posed no pressure whatsoever for Zhang Weiguo and his men, who were all armed with automatic rifles and guarding the passageway.

Even the silly girl's Gatling gun didn't have a chance to be used.

The last Japanese squad leader wanted to take advantage of the Japanese soldiers' attack to take off Hirokazu Kenji's head.

But as soon as he got close, he was knocked to the ground by Zhang Weiguo, who had anticipated this.

Gunfire erupted inside the air-raid shelter.

Meanwhile, outside the cave, Miyamoto Musashi and Koizumi Jiyuan watched with grim expressions as the Japanese corpses were continuously carried out.

Their faces grew increasingly contorted, even though they knew in their hearts that there would be huge casualties.

But a small squad was wiped out in less than 10 minutes, and the enemy's gunfire inside showed no signs of abating.

But there was no other way; they could only keep sending out small teams to attack, not giving the enemy a chance to rest and reload.

Thirty minutes later, Xiao Quanzhou Jiyuan looked at the nearly 200 corpses of Japanese soldiers already laid out outside the cave entrance.

His face immediately darkened as he surveyed the surroundings of the air-raid shelter, trying to find a way out.

If this continues, by the time they catch the people inside, their own unit will likely have suffered more than half its losses.

But after scanning the area, he saw that the entire mountainside was filled with his own regiment. He gave a bitter laugh to himself, thinking that his regiment couldn't even take down a small air-raid shelter.

Suddenly, I saw a team of engineers next to the artillery company not far away.

Immediately walked over.

Upon seeing their regimental commander arrive, the Japanese engineering company immediately assembled and stood at attention.

Xiao Quanzhou Jiyuan pulled the Japanese engineering company commander aside.

"Little Teng, do you have a way to open up the other passage?"

"Commander, this is a bit difficult. That area is sealed with reinforced concrete, and it will probably take a lot of time to break through it."

A precise timeframe will only be clear after an on-site inspection.

After hearing the words of the team leader, Xiao Quanzhou Jiyuan pondered for a while before speaking.

"Kifuji-kun, take some men to investigate and then tell me the exact time."

"Hi."

At 7:45 a.m., Bai Luo began deploying a medium-sized artillery base on a high ground 6 kilometers away from the Hengshan air-raid shelter.

After opening the system page and clicking to use the medium-sized artillery array card, 44 cannons appeared out of thin air on the open ground in front of Bai Luo in the next second.

36门m1897式75毫米野战炮排成3列,每列12门。

Eight SFH18M 150mm heavy howitzers followed closely behind.

Each cannon was connected to a large box, which appeared to be the ammunition supply box for this automatic cannon array.

Seeing these cannons filled Bai Luo with excitement, and he quickly went to the control panel.

Bai Luo saw that most of the Japanese troops were stationed in Yokoyama. Although their positions were relatively loose, they still had plenty of artillery shells.

First, input the __cpLocation of the Japanese artillery squadron that we had just discovered, and then select the area within 2 kilometers around the air-raid shelter as the bombing coordinates.

After the selection was confirmed, the gun barrels of the artillery group, which were originally stationary, began to automatically adjust their angles.

Meanwhile, at the air-raid shelter, Xiao Quanzhou Jiyuan saw the engineering company commander running from a distance and quickly went to meet him.

"How is it going? How long will it take?"

"Reporting to the regimental commander, based on our measurements and investigations, if we were to use explosives, it would likely take more than three hours to drill holes and place the explosives."

However, there's a faster way: modify the Type 92 infantry gun for direct fire. This would significantly reduce the time required.

After listening to the engineering company commander's words, Xiao Quanzhou Jiyuan felt that this was the only good news he had received in the past two days.

He patted the engineer company commander on the shoulder with a smile on his face.

"Don't worry, Mr. Fujiwara, I'll have the artillery company fully support you."

"Hi!"

The engineering company commander was flattered and immediately stood at attention and bowed.

After Bai Luo saw that the cannon muzzle was adjusted, he walked to the control panel and raised the high-powered binoculars to observe the Japanese soldiers surrounding the air-raid shelter.

After confirming that the Japanese formation had not changed significantly, Bai Luo smiled slightly, turned up the firing rate to the maximum, clenched his fist, and slammed it hard on the fire button.

The next second, the previously still medium-sized artillery array suddenly erupted with the sound of dense shells being fired.

"Bang bang bang bang..." Dozens of cannons fired at the same time, and the scene was so powerful that it shook the earth.

Bai Luo heard a series of deafening explosions that made his ears ring. He quickly ran more than 100 meters away from the artillery base before he felt a little better.

The moment the automatic medium-sized artillery array opened fire, the flames illuminated the sky.

The cannon fire roared like rolling thunder, continuous and powerful, and the air itself trembled from the shockwaves.

The Japanese soldiers around the air-raid shelter also heard the loud noise. Even though they were five or six kilometers away, the sound of the artillery firing in unison was still very clear to the Japanese regiment.

Just after the artillery company commander in Xiaoquanzhou Jiyuan issued the order to cooperate with the engineers to blow up another air-raid shelter passage.

A huge roar came from afar, and Xiaoquanzhou Jiyuan was taken aback.

The sharp whistling sound of shells slicing through the air immediately brought the battle-hardened Quanzhou Jiyuan to its senses.

"Artillery fire!!!! Take cover!!!!"
