The battle in One-Line-Sky was about to start.
1,300 mortars and 300 infantry cannons were aimed at the Japanese's position. In an instant, flames shot everywhere.
The cannonballs in the air were like rain, shooting towards the canyon where the Japanese were.
The Artillery Battalion's position was very noisy. When the Japanese noticed it, the shells had already landed on their troops.
Hong ~
Boom!
The artillery shells covered the entire Japanese vanguard like rain, and the bodies of the Japanese were blown to pieces.
The corpses were all badly mutilated.
Even though they were covered by the military vehicle, they were instantly killed by the second explosion caused by the explosion of the military vehicle.
The 3rd division's major general, General Yamamoto, was currently in the middle of the army.
When he saw that the troops in front of him had instantly fallen into a living hell, he did not have time to react.
The second batch of cannonballs was fired again, and their target was the center of the army!
"Retreat!"
Before they attacked China, they had learned about the weapons and equipment of the Chinese army.
He really couldn't understand how a small Zhang Fortress could hide so many mortars!
The number of mortars they had was almost as many as an entire regiment.
Even if it was inferior, it would not be much worse!
Looking at the shells that were fired as if they were free, Yamamoto learned a lesson for his arrogance and carelessness.
In an instant, thousands of soldiers of the dynasty died in the artillery fire.
"Artillery Regiment! Counterattack!"
Yamamoto shouted.
However, after a while, the regimental commander of the Artillery Regiment ran up to him and said,""General! Their mortars are bombarded from the furthest distance. Our vision is limited and we can't find their exact location. We can't fight back!”
Yamamoto was furious.
"Baka!"
He pulled out his katana and stabbed the captain to death.
The regimental commander of the Artillery Regiment never expected that he, who had just launched an attack on Zhina, would die in the hands of his own people.
After killing the Artillery Regiment Commander, Yamamoto's anger eased a little. He quickly ordered,"" All troops, retreat!"
Facing the enemy's bombardment, they could not even find the enemy's location. They could only be live targets for the enemy here.
Only a fool would use the body of a soldier to resist the enemy's artillery fire.
At this moment, the artillery battalion of the Self-Defense Forces was still firing.
Zhang Qian had already informed them in advance.
There was no need to conserve ammunition in this battle. They had to destroy the enemy to the greatest extent.
Even if a cannonball destroyed an enemy, it had to explode!
Therefore, the moment their artillery fire rang out, it represented a decisive battle.
The commander of the Artillery Battalion quickly ordered his soldiers to adjust their angles and continue to bombard the entire One-Line-Sky.
The Japanese troops lined up like a long dragon in the canyon.
Now that they were about to retreat, they realized that the front was occupied by a sea of Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese soldiers were human beings, so they knew how to be afraid.
Especially now that a missile would fall from the sky at any time.
The Japanese soldiers had forgotten that the people around them were their comrades, and they all fled frantically towards the back of the canyon.
Hong ~
Boom!
The gunfire had not stopped.
The Japanese were still bathed in the artillery fire.
The number of Japanese casualties was still increasing rapidly.
Yamamoto looked at the large number of dead soldiers and felt a knife in his heart.
However, when he thought of the Second Brigade that he had sent out, he said angrily,"Leave so many people to defend One-Line-Sky. I want to see how many people you can have to defend the county! I will personally cut off your head to pay tribute to the soldiers of the Empire!”
Yamamoto was like an enraged lion.
His heart was filled with anger.
As a major general of the empire, he had experienced many wars.
However, this was the first time he had suffered such a loss.
He had a feeling that his glory had been tarnished.
The dignity of the Empire's general was trampled on.
The gunfire continued for more than 20 minutes.
Only when the entire artillery battalion's ammunition storage was down to 10% did the commander of the artillery battalion issue an order,""Stop firing!"
It was naturally possible to fire all the cannonballs at once.
However, he still kept ten percent of the cannonballs in case of emergency.
Otherwise, it would be really awkward if they couldn't find a single cannonball.
From Zhang Qian's military deployment, he had a feeling that this battle would not end so easily.
Therefore, he left ten percent of the cannonballs as his trump card.
It had to be said that the officers under Zhang Qian had gradually entered the state of mind due to the recent battles.
Everyone was playing their role.
The gunfire stopped.
The 1st Battalion and the Scout Battalion hiding behind the canyon couldn't wait any longer.
Just as they were about to attack, they discovered that the Japanese had started to flee in large numbers towards the back of Frontline Sky.
A battalion commander made a prompt decision. After discussing with the battalion commander of the reconnaissance battalion, they decided to change the initiative to an ambush.
Just like that, they hid on the hills on both sides of the canyon, waiting for the Japanese to approach.
At this moment, in the hands of nearly 3,000 people, each of them was tightly holding a grenade.
Facing the threat of death from the artillery fire, the Japanese ran faster than the last.
Like a flood, it surged towards the back of the canyon.
"I'm coming, I'm coming. Everyone, cheer up! A big deal has come!"
The first wave of Japanese soldiers alone numbered at least a thousand.
When they approached the ambush area, the commander of the 1st Battalion shouted,""Throw!"
The recon battalion commander on the opposite side also shouted,"Blow it up!"
Thousands of grenades fell from the sky like the artillery fire from before.
The thousands of Japanese who rushed out were bombarded by thousands of grenades. None of them survived.
Corpses flew everywhere.
At the same time, the soldiers of the two battalions quickly raised their guns and approached the center of the canyon.
First, they attacked with grenades. If there were no grenades, they would fire with automatic rifles.
Although the bullets of automatic rifles were not as many as machine guns, they were basically better than machine guns in other aspects.
Whether it was in terms of power, range, or accuracy, it was not something a machine gun could compare to.
This was equivalent to thousands of machine guns slaughtering the Japanese in the canyon.
The entire Japanese 1st Brigade was in chaos.
Even Lieutenant General Yamamoto, who was in the middle, could not command it.
After all, there were more than 10,000 soldiers here. Even if he roared his lungs out, it would be useless.
The Japanese who were originally at the front of the line ran back, while the Japanese at the back ran forward.
They all thought that the direction they were escaping in could bring them hope.
As a result, the entire First Brigade went crazy in this small space.
Under the threat of death, none of the Japanese would care what kind of officer or military position you were. They didn't want to die.
After all, those people who had been running away had witnessed the scene of thousands of people dying in an instant in front of them. That scene was too shocking and they could not calm down.
