my bright sword career

Chapter 693
Aono Akira tried his best to open his eyes wide and looked forward. He could vaguely see the trenches and machine gun positions of the Huaxia Army in front of him. Moving forward, he could recognize the positions of the Huaxia Army under the clouds and smoke.

But after a while their positions were again wrapped in a layer of boiling smoke, shining with rust-red specks of light.

Red blotches stretched out, engulfed the smoke, and filled the sky.Ascension into a dead zone made of red flames.

At this time, the artillery of the Japanese army was still fighting, but compared with the artillery fire of the Chinese army, it seemed much sporadic, but Aono Akira knew that the artillery of the empire had done its best.

However, the efforts of our own artillery did not have much effect. What they did was like throwing a piece of burning coal on the land that was already burning to the sky. Even so, the Japanese artillery bombardment did not last long. .

In fact, in Aono Akita's view, the number of artillery in the empire would have had an advantage over the artillery in China, and the quality of artillery in the empire was obviously higher.

But the crux of the problem is that the Huaxia people on the opposite side are fully covered and supported by the Air Force.

Since three days ago, Huaxia's air force has been scurrying across the sky like a swarm of locusts.

In particular, there is a kind of dive bomber that is painted black and looks like a mutated seagull. These planes hover in the air like bloodthirsty vultures.

Once they find a ground target, they will, like vultures that have been hungry for three days, go straight to the ground at a nearly vertical angle from the sky of several thousand meters, and then drop one after another, either incendiary bombs or high-explosive bombs, on the ground.

But there is also a kind of evil bomb that Japanese soldiers hate most. They will split into dozens to hundreds of small bombs in mid-air according to the size of the model.

After these small bombs are dispersed in mid-air, they will suddenly explode at a low altitude of about ten meters near the ground, splitting into two pieces of shrapnel.

As long as the Japanese soldiers are covered by these shrapnel, it is basically difficult to escape, unless they hide in the anti-gun hole in advance.

Those hateful Chinese troops killed countless imperial warriors by relying on air cover.

The 143 Wing where Aono Akira belongs to has suffered heavy losses. Three days ago, there were basically a total of more than 3000 people in the Wing, which was considered full. As of today, there are only more than 1000 people left.

In order to avoid the bombing of Huaxia planes, Colonel Banqiao Dinghiu had to disperse the troops.

But in this way, it is difficult to resist the attack of the Chinese army if they are too scattered in the same area, which forms a very contradictory phenomenon.

Facing the charge of the Chinese army, the defender needs intensive firepower to repel it, but once the own side deploys too densely, the opponent's artillery and even aircraft will "focus" on it, so that the battle will be fought It was extremely awkward.

At this time, the newly formed 22nd Division on the opposite side launched an attack on them again.

Aodai Aono couldn't figure out why the Chinese army, who didn't even dare to open their machine guns to shoot, was so rich this time, and those bullets were pouring towards them as if they didn't want money.

The flames from the muzzles of Huaxia soldiers, and the explosion of explosives continuously poured deadly metal onto the Japanese positions.

Bullets flew in all directions, and fragments from shell blasts flew into the sky.

Aono Akira could clearly see the shells hitting the ground, and the ground seemed to be torn apart.

On his right was a forest. After several days of fierce fighting, the dense trees in the forest were like grass being cut down by a huge sickle, and they were constantly knocked down by artillery fire.

"boom……"

A shell hit the top of a big tree not far away, and exploded in mid-air, making a loud noise.

Aono Akira squeezed his body desperately in the gap, trying to make his exposed area smaller.

Then he heard it seemed to be raining heavily around him, and the dense raindrops hit the ground, making a crackling sound.

But Kodai Aono knew very well that it wasn't rain that fell in the sky, and it wasn't crackling raindrops that fell from the sky, but fiery metal that penetrated into the earth and tore the earth apart, and that it was layers of sand and clay that crackled. , leaving a deep pit with its mouth wide open.

"what……"

Aono Akira heard a scream not far away, and he didn't poke his head out of the gap to watch when he heard the sound.

For a veteran who has fought for five years, he has seen too much life and death in these years, and he is too numb.

So numb that he didn't even bother to get to know each other and remember their names with the newly recruited soldiers.

Because there is a high probability that these recruits will become disabled without arms and legs in a few days, or even become urns and be loaded on the ship returning home.

To get acquainted with these people would only waste what little affection he had left.

The battle on the battlefield was fought from day to night, and the Chinese army's shells seemed to never run out.

The flames from the muzzle when the artillery fired, and the rows of shells from the mortars are all today.

Brown smoke and dust floated above the huge waves raised by the mud. The Maxim heavy machine guns and those 22-caliber guns equipped by the newly formed 75nd Division have been firing for a whole day, but they still haven't stopped.

Smoke, dust, and flames floated everywhere on the battlefield, suddenly jumping up into the sky, and suddenly falling to the ground again.

The formerly obscure place of Taungoo has become a flame-breathing hell.

Already exhausted, Kodai Aono suddenly heard bursts of violent explosions from six to seven hundred meters behind him. He looked back and saw flames rising into the sky.

His heart suddenly sank. It was originally one of their artillery positions, and three field cannons were deployed.

Now the position was blown up into the sky like a cracked irregular shape. In the light of the fire, Aono Akira could distinguish the dark spots as metal fragments, parts of the cannon, and the gunner's gunner's gun. body.

Aono Akira couldn't bear it anymore, he ran backwards from the hiding place, and then jumped to a place where he didn't know whether it was a trench or a bomb crater. After he jumped in, he found that there was still a corpse lying inside. .

This dirt-stained corpse just sat there so dirty, staring at the sky with wide-eyed eyes motionless, it looked more like a living person than Aono Kodai with a ferocious face and livid face.

"idiot!"

Aono Akira suddenly scolded, but he didn't know who he was scolding.

At this moment, Aono Akio suddenly felt that everything he had done over the years, as well as the countless urns that had been transported back to the mainland, seemed meaningless.

"Can this nation really be conquered?" This question, which he had never doubted, resurfaced in his mind.

"Aono-kun... Aono-kun..."

At this time...a hoarse voice suddenly came from beside him.
