Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

Chapter 183 A Fireworks Feast

At the Tiger Cave position, Luo Yufeng's soldiers did not go out. They relied on bunkers and fortifications to fight the Japanese. People on both sides fell in pools of blood from time to time.

Although the battle was fierce, Battalion Commander Luo Yufeng was very calm!

Qiu Qingquan told him that to hold back the Japanese, it must be a special arrangement by the military!

But what has the military arranged?

This matter made him very curious.

The battle had lasted for more than forty minutes. Seeing that support was nowhere to be found, Luo Yufeng began to put aside his curiosity and concentrate on fighting the Japanese.

The whistling and flying shells in the sky shocked Luo Yufeng, who was used to big scenes.

"Get down quickly." He only had time to shout these three words before the shell exploded.

Boom boom boom...Boom boom boom!

The loud noise and violent vibration made all the soldiers stunned.

They had no time to think and just relied on instinct to hide in the shelter at the first moment.

The Japanese soldiers who were close to the bunker were lucky enough to be alive, but they did not dare to look back. They all stuck their butts out, fearing that a shell would fall next to them.

The moment the explosion sounded.

Teaching Corps Command.

Qiu Qingquan, Gui Yongqing and everyone in the command center stood up in shock and walked out of the command center, looking towards the direction of Tiger Cave.

"Oh my god, such powerful artillery, where did they get it?"

"Even heavy artillery can't make such a big noise at once!"

"How is this going?"

Those in the command center who were unaware of the facts began to post their opinions.

"The Tiger Cave defense line is over. Captain Luo and the others..."

Some people immediately thought of the situation at the Tiger Cave and began to worry.

Gui Yongqing and Qiu Qingquan looked at each other, their eyes revealing surprise.

They know best what exactly happened, but they can't figure it out even if you rack their brains.

The shells were fired in groups, leaving no time to dodge.

"Staff Officer Qiu, does the 21st Army still have such a powerful weapon?"

As soon as the artillery fire stopped, Gui Yongqing couldn't wait to ask Qiu Qingquan. This matter was arranged by Qiu Qingquan, and he thought that he would be more clear about it.

Obviously, Gui Yongqing asked the wrong person.

Qiu Qingquan simply shook his head and said, "Commander, I am only responsible for coordinating this matter. I really don't know the specific details."

"However." Qiu Qingquan said, and began to think with his head down.

Gui Yongqing was a little anxious and asked hurriedly, "But what, Crazy Qiu, don't keep me in suspense, old man."

From his previous disdain to his current eagerness to know the reason, his transformation was so fast.

Qiu Qingquan was silent for a while before he slowly said, "I'm not sure."

"Descriptions of this type of artillery have appeared in the 51st Division's battle reports before."

Gui Yongqing was speechless for a moment, and both of them were confused and had no idea what was going on.

The reason he wanted to know clearly was related to the defense of Purple Mountain.

"Forget it, I'll call Commander Liao myself after the battle. I owe him a big favor this time, haha!"

Gui Yongqing laughed loudly.

Now everyone in the command center finally understood that it was their boss who did it. No wonder they saw the two big guys were so calm!

Indeed, the two did not say much at the headquarters, and it was normal that many people did not know the reason.

Qiu Qingquan smiled and said, "That's true, but we haven't lost anything either. The Japanese have probably suffered a lot of losses this time, so we can repay this favor."

Gui Yongqing nodded and said, "Let's go. The show is over. Let's wait for the battle report from the 5th Regiment!"

Apparently, the two men thought all the ammunition had been used up.

.........

At the foot of the mountain, the commander of the Japanese 33rd Regiment, Major General Kengo Noda, was also shocked.

Hundreds of large-caliber artillery shells flew over his head, followed by a deafening roar that made him feel a little overwhelmed.

He didn't know how many warriors were still alive on the mountain, nor did he know what these things were.

At this moment, Kengo Noda seemed to have lost the ability to think, and just stared blankly in the direction of the tiger cave.

Only when the cannon fire stopped did he recover a little, muttering, "Where did these Chinese get their heavy artillery?"

"Sir, Captain, please send warriors to rescue them!"

Chief of Staff Takayoshi Tanaka was the first to realize the situation.

After a round of bombardment, the front-line brigade had no ability to fight back. Now that the bombardment has stopped, the Chinese will definitely launch a direct counterattack!

If that happens, their front-line team will be in danger.

With timely support, it might be possible to save some and launch a counterattack.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Tanaka is right. Send the Sugawara Battalion immediately, quickly." Noda Kengo shouted anxiously.

Soon, Captain Umekichi Sugawara received the order and began to quickly organize the team.

"Sir, this type of artillery has appeared before."

Tanaka Takayoshi thought of the previous battle report of the 13th Regiment, the description of which was almost identical to the explosion on the mountain.

The 13th Regiment was crippled, which was also related to this type of artillery.

"Mr. Tanaka, are you referring to the time when the General led the operation?" Noda Kengo said hesitantly.

This matter concerns the division commander Tani Hisao. Although many people know about it, they don't pay much attention to it.

After all, it concerns the boss who is above them. Why do the commanders and chiefs of staff want to pay so much attention to it?

Tanaka Takayoshi once again carefully recalled the description of the battle report, and then said:

"Yes, that was it. One round of artillery shells, and then the Chinese continued to bombard with mortars."

"This reduced the 13th Regiment to only half its strength. I no longer pay attention to the subsequent battle reports."

Noda Kengo nodded slightly, then seemed to suddenly remember something and shouted in horror.

"Hurry up, everyone, evacuate here immediately."

He suddenly thought that if the other side still had this kind of artillery shells, then his command post at the foot of the mountain would also be in danger.

"Sir, the Chinese only fired one round of this kind of shell last time."

Tanaka Takayoshi's words were a little hesitant, he was not sure about such things.

Noda Kengo ordered: "Tanaka-kun, immediately order all parties to evacuate, this place is very dangerous."

As the highest commander of a regiment, this was the first time he felt this inexplicable threat after entering China for so long.

Apparently, he guessed right, but he didn't stand a chance.

A battalion has to go up the mountain to provide support, and more than 2000 people need to be evacuated. How can this be resolved in a short time?

On Gu Changfeng's side, after more than ten minutes, the muzzle was readjusted and the shells were reloaded.

Lu Daya shouted to the artillerymen: "In 10 seconds, fire all the shells and send these devils back to their homeland in Japan."

He really likes firing this kind of cannon. It's really cool to see hundreds of shells fired at the same time.

Although a wave has just been completed, no one will complain about the lack of it.

"Yes, Captain."

The artillerymen all looked happy, as this was their favorite moment.

whoosh…

Ten seconds later, shells flew like arrows towards the Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain.

The Japanese soldiers who had not yet had time to evacuate stared with terrified eyes at the artillery shells flying in the sky, their faces instantly filled with despair.

When Kengo Noda heard this nightmarish voice again, his face turned pale.

Boom boom boom...Boom boom boom!

Violent explosions resounded through the sky again, and one Japanese soldier after another was torn apart by shells, causing a bloody rain to fill the sky.

The Japanese soldiers were finally scared and prayed to Aunt Amaterasu for protection.

But it's no use. The shells have no eyes, and none of the damn ones can escape!

In addition, Noda Kengo ordered the large army to evacuate, and the crowd was already dense. The effect of this barrage of artillery shells was even greater than that of the tiger cave on the mountain.
