Spy Shadow: Command & Conquer

Chapter 1438: The Instigator

"put!"

Zhang Yong ordered to continue firing.

Just fire after reloading. Just work hard.

The system is so cool. The ammunition is unlimited. You can fire continuously.

The barreled artillery also has the problem of heating. If too many shells are fired, it needs to rest. Otherwise, there is a danger of the barrel exploding.

But rocket launchers don't need that.

It has no chamber pressure and no high temperature.

The temperature generated by the majestic rocket's tail flame is actually not that high.

During the refilling process, it has cooled naturally.

Even at the fastest speed, it would take more than two minutes to completely reload.

"Choo Choo Choo……"

"Choo Choo Choo……"

Gradually, the three rocket launchers became uneven.

No more salvos. Just fire after reloading. So, the rockets fell in waves.

Inadvertently, twelve rockets fell at once. It was like a heavy artillery battalion was firing.

The Japanese invaders repeatedly confirmed that it was definitely heavy artillery.

"Rumble..."

"Rumble..."

The shelling continued.

From time to time, Zhang Yong modified the parameters.

The artillerymen modified the firing area according to the parameters, and then continued to load and fire.

"idiot!"

"The Chinese will definitely fight back."

"They've brought in all the heavy artillery."

Yamamuro Munetake ordered his staff to report to the expeditionary army headquarters.

It is possible that this is not an ordinary Chinese army. It should be a full-scale counterattack by the Chinese.

The intention, of course, is to support the direction of Xuzhou.

Attacking the flank of Nanjing forced the Japanese army to withdraw troops to provide support.

In the Thirty-Six Stratagems, this is called "Besiege Wei to Save Zhao", which is a tactic often used by the Chinese.

As a senior expert on China, Yamamuro Munetake is very familiar with Sun Tzu's Art of War and the Thirty-Six Stratagems, and can even recite most of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

"Nani?"

"Heavy artillery?"

"The Chinese may be able to fight back across the board?"

Hata Shunroku, who succeeded the expeditionary force commander, looked at the telegram with doubt.

I don't quite believe it. But I have to believe it.

For safety reasons, reinforcements to Wuhu are still needed to prevent accidents.

Two days ago, Daxiaochang Airport was attacked by Chinese planes, causing heavy losses. The base commander committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

If the Chinese really want to counterattack on all fronts and try to take back Jinling, we must be on guard. Although this possibility is very small, we must also take it seriously.

Seven main divisions have been concentrated in the Xuzhou direction, so there should be no need for further reinforcements.

Therefore, the seven divisions stationed around Nanjing can be fully used in the attack.

Where to attack?

Westward, of course. Upstream.

At least Anqing must be captured to ensure the safety of Nanjing.

As we all know, Anqing is the western gateway to Jinling, and Zeng Guofan had fought for it repeatedly.

It was only after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom lost Anqing that it gradually became passive and ultimately failed.

Hata Shunroku made up his mind.

Never make the same mistake again.

The Japanese army must take the initiative and cannot passively defend.

Before the Chinese launch a full-scale attack, move out in advance to disintegrate the Chinese offensive.

"Somebody come!"

"Hayi!"

"Immediately mobilize effective troops to reinforce Wuhu! At the same time, actively ensure the safety of the west!"

"Tie!"

The Japanese invaders immediately began to mobilize troops.

A large number of troops marched westward, trying to put pressure on the national army.

The so-called active momentum is to launch an attack in advance, replace defense with attack, and disintegrate the attack of the national army.

result……

The Third War Zone felt it immediately.

Fighting broke out on all fronts that came into contact with the Japanese invaders.

The Japanese invaders began to test the waters with attacks at the squad and company level.

All of a sudden, a large amount of information flew to the theater commander Gu Zhutong like snowflakes.

"what happened?"

"Are the Japanese going to attack on all fronts?"

Looking at the map, which was covered with dense red flags, Gu Zhutong was confused.

Why are the Japanese invaders suddenly making such a big move?

Didn't you notice it before?
Damn!

Of course we can't just sit there and wait for death.

So he ordered all troops to actively counterattack.

At the same time, report the situation to the headquarters immediately.

High Command: ???

It's also confusing.

what happened?

The Japanese invaders launched an all-out attack?

Isn’t the focus on the Central Plains?

Why are there suddenly such big moves against the Third War Zone?

I can't figure it out for a moment.

Is this a feint?

Or main attack?

Not daring to delay, he quickly ordered the Third War Zone to actively counterattack.

At the same time, he ordered the troops stationed in the areas around Wuhan and Nanchang to prepare for departure and to reinforce the Third War Zone at any time.

Among them are the ace 71st Army, 72nd Army, 74th Army, etc.

The New Fourth Army headquarters stationed in Nanchang also marched towards southern Anhui, preparing to command the New Fourth Army into combat.

All the national troops in Jiangbei were required to strictly guard their positions to prevent the Japanese invaders from launching surprise attacks.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Yong also received the relevant telegram.

"This……"

I vaguely felt that something was wrong.

The Japanese invaders launched a full-scale attack on the Third War Zone?
Is the situation so serious?
The map of the Air Finger Division doesn't seem to indicate the movement of heavy weapons.

He didn't know that the Japanese invaders first sent out infantry. The heavy weapons and other things had not yet been dispatched.

"Aren't the Japanese invaders going to attack Xuzhou?" Wu Keren was also puzzled.

"Not sure." Zhang Yong shook his head.

As the instigator, he had no idea that he was the one who caused the trouble.

I thought the Japanese invaders had really launched an offensive in advance, intending to capture Anqing, or the southern Anhui area.

At present, the strategic initiative is in the hands of the Japanese invaders, and it is normal for them to take any major actions.

but……

fair enough.

Let's start the game early so we don't get bored.

The battlefield in Xuzhou is too far away, and we cannot provide support here. But we can.

The entire Third War Zone was within the coverage of Zhang Yong's Air Force Map. He could detect any major moves here in a timely manner.

Of course, if it is a small action, then there is nothing we can do.

However, small actions have little impact and can be ignored.

Even if Gu Zhutong was beaten to death.

"Commissioner, should we withdraw?" Wu Keren felt that a storm was coming.

"No, keep fighting." Zhang Yong shook his head.

We have finally come here, how can we retreat so easily?

No matter what, we must let the Japanese invaders fully and comprehensively feel the warmth of the rocket launchers.

"Keep playing!"

"Hit me hard!"

Zhang Yong gave orders to the artillery.

Rows of rockets and drum bombs advanced.

Under the cover of rocket launchers, they managed to occupy more than 3,000 meters of Japanese positions.

"Rumble..."

"Rumble..."

The continuous explosions caused great damage to the Japanese invaders.

The Japanese invaders tried to counterattack with 105mm heavy artillery, but they were unable to lock onto the enemy's exact position.

The Chinese artillery firing positions seemed to be changing frequently.

In fact, it is true.

In order to prevent counterattack by the Japanese invaders, they immediately changed their position after almost every volley.

Anyway, it has wheels, so it’s not difficult to drag it and move it.

Otherwise, how can it be called a guerrilla warfare weapon! It is light and can be carried and run at any time!

Move to a new location, set up immediately, then load. Fire.

"Choo Choo Choo……"

"Choo Choo Choo……"

The piercing sound continued to hang over the heads of the Japanese invaders.

Not to mention the torture suffered by the ordinary Japanese invaders, even Yamamuro Munetake himself was almost going crazy.

This damn sound!

It has never been cut off!

Only a temporary pause.

Then it will suddenly explode somewhere.

Only the Japanese troops were bombed.

It just happened to be a large-caliber shell, which had great lethality.

Within a radius of 20 to 30 meters, basically everyone would be seriously injured if not killed. It would be a miracle if they survived.

The shells fell densely and covered a certain area at the same time. The Japanese soldiers in this area had almost no chance of survival.

It's useless even if you hide in field fortifications.

Field fortifications are not permanent fortifications. They will also be injured by the shock.

Besides, it is impossible to hide in the fortifications forever. The Chinese army may launch a charge at any time.

"Choo Choo Choo……"

"Choo Choo Choo……"

This terrible sound made the Japanese invaders feel collapsed.

A large group of Japanese invaders rushed up frantically, trying to attack the positions of the national army.

result……

"Choo Choo Choo……"

"Boom boom boom..."

Soon it was covered by rockets. The result was...

The corpses of Japanese invaders were everywhere.

Or maybe there is no entity at all. Just fragments.

With one volley of fire, the Japanese invaders' sudden charge was completely dispersed and wiped out.

The remaining Japanese invaders hid everywhere and never dared to stand up again.

The so-called Bushido spirit had to retreat in the face of overwhelming explosions.

"idiot……"

Yamamuro Munetake was both anxious and angry.

very scary.

There was such fierce artillery fire.

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

If you charge forward without warning, you will only end up dying.

"Choo Choo Choo……"

"Boom boom boom..."

Rockets continued to fall intensively.

Continue to bombard the remaining Japanese invaders from the Japanese invasion.

These Japanese invaders were lying on the ground in the wild, with no fortifications around them, so they could only take the bombing in vain.

There is no better target than them.

Keep exploding.

Always feel good.

"Choo Choo Choo……"

"Boom boom boom..."

The crazy explosion made the remaining Japanese invaders completely lose their minds.

Lying on the ground would also mean death. The only way is to charge.

So I stood up...

then……

"Da da da……"

"Da da da……"

Then he was shot to death by dense bullets.

The last Japanese invader to fall was riddled with bullet holes.

"idiot!"

"gunfire!"

"gunfire!"

Yamamuro Munetake was furious.

Order all artillery fire, no matter where the target is.

ah ah ah...

He was about to explode right where he was.

Damn the Chinese. They torture people to death.

"withdraw!"

"withdraw!"

This time, Zhang Yong finally ordered a retreat.

The Japanese invaders were crazy.

Full fire.

This kind of chaotic bombing is the most terrifying.

Even gods could be killed in the explosion.

He hurriedly retreated, dragging a rocket launcher.

Others quickly followed.

They retreated five kilometers in one breath before stopping to take a breath.

"Boom boom boom..."

"Boom boom boom..."

Behind them, artillery fire was overwhelming.

The Japanese invaders were really crazy. They bombed everywhere without distinguishing right from wrong.

Amazing……

Keep frying...

I'm watching from a distance.

By the way, the Japanese invaders must have consumed a lot of artillery shells with such indiscriminate bombing.

well.

The more shells consumed, the better.

What we are competing for these two days is nothing else but who has more artillery shells.

Whoever has no more shells will be beaten.

"Gululu..."

"Gululu..."

Suddenly my stomach growled.

Oops. I'm hungry. I haven't eaten yet.

I haven’t had a proper meal since last night!

During the intervals between battles, I ate a few peanut candies. They are the Chinese version of chocolate. They are very sweet and give me a lot of energy.

However, peanut candy is not dry food after all. It cannot fill your stomach.

The hunger is getting more and more obvious...

"Who brought dry food?"

"Commissioner, pancakes."

The artillery company commander immediately came up to offer his courtesy.

Well, that's not right. He just enjoys playing too much. He is full even without eating.

"Thank you."

Zhang Yong took the pancake and took a few bites.

It seems that the dry food of the Chinese people is limited to these few types.

It is easy to carry. It has a little flavor. It is not tasteless. It is just like a pancake. But the shelf life is only five days.

"Why are you so happy?" Zhang Yong saw that the artillery company commander was grinning.

"Commissioner, you may not know that I may be the one who fires the most artillery shells among all the company commanders of the National Army." The artillery company commander replied.

"Yeah, that's right..." Zhang Yong did not deny it.

indeed.

possible.

And, the possibilities are high.

How many rockets have been launched from last night till now?
Fire after reloading.

Fire after reloading.

Choo Choo Choo……

Choo Choo Choo……

Thirty-six shots were fired.

It is equivalent to the continuous firing of three 75mm mountain cannons.

In total, at least 4,000 rockets were fired over the course of several hours.

For an artillery company, this is indeed a terrifying amount of firing.

Moreover, they are all 107 large caliber!

It is indeed unique among the artillery of the National Army.

"What are you so happy about? Let's continue playing tonight!"

"Yes."

"In the next two days, we will try to drop 10,000 rockets on the Japanese invaders."

"it is good!"

The battery commander began to grin again.

I am so satisfied with my task. Really. I smile even in my dreams.

Even though he was blackened by the rocket's tail flame, his head and face were all black, only his teeth were white.

"More than 10,000 rounds..."

Wu Keren shook his head slowly.

Sigh. Speechless.

The Commissioner is such a spendthrift!

Are you willing to consume so many shells!
Ten thousand large-caliber shells might not even cover a single war zone.

Especially now.

The National Army's heavy artillery regiment was almost completely lost, and its stock of ammunition had long been used up.

Even in the Third Theater, there were probably no large-caliber artillery. The only supporting artillery was the 75mm mountain artillery.

It is unknown when the artillery aided by the Soviet Union will arrive.

"Boom boom boom..."

"Boom boom boom..."

The Japanese invaders continued their shelling.

Some Japanese infantrymen also came out to search.

"withdraw!"

Zhang Yong waved his hand.

Continue to retreat westward with your troops.

Lure the Japanese invaders out a little bit, and then destroy them.

however……

The Japanese invaders were very cunning.

The search distance was only five kilometers, so they retreated.

Grass……

A guy without balls!

Run away! I will punish you!
I had to wait patiently.

Wait for the opportunity to come.

Or the Japanese artillery bombardment stopped.

half an hour……

One hour……

Finally, the Japanese shelling stopped.

It was Yamamuro Munetake who ordered the halt. He was worried that they would run out of ammunition.

That's even worse.

If the Chinese army came in waves and there were no shells, it would be the end. Wuhu would definitely fall.

Night falls.

The Japanese position was very quiet.

However, the Japanese invaders were very anxious.

I was afraid that the chirping sound would appear again.

Yamamuro Munetake also held his breath. He hoped that the nightmarish voice would disappear forever...

but!

Suddenly, fire broke out in the west.

Follow——

"Choo Choo Choo……"

"Choo Choo Choo……"
