Since it was a cannon attack, it had to look like a cannon attack. Not only did it have to have a practical effect, but it also had to have a certain deterrent effect.
Of course, when Principal Jiang, who was in Nanjing, learned of this matter, he could not help but curse in anger. Within half a month, he replaced Feng Xiang as the commander-in-chief and took over the post himself.
It wasn't because they had embarrassed the Central Army in this operation, but because the fighting strength displayed by the volunteer army was too terrifying, although many of them didn't know why.
However, when the sky full of artillery fire began to appear, the problem came.
It did scare the Japanese, but it also scared the other foreigners. Principal Jiang, who had been looking forward to mediation, had his dream shattered in an instant. He had no choice but to officially face the Japanese's attack.
The so-called Japanese concession was actually the northern and eastern part of the International Settlement. The Japanese had been occupying this area since the beginning of the war. They had forcefully occupied this area and used these two areas as the bridgeheads for their attacks.
However, the effect was not ideal. As the main gathering area of the Japanese army, this was naturally the main direction of attack for the Chinese army.
Up until now, at least 30% of the buildings in these two regions had collapsed. As the war continued, more and more ruins would appear.
Krupp immediately split the entire regiment into two, and the rocket artillery battalion hurriedly stepped onto the pontoon bridge back to Shanghai.
The task of attacking the concession was given to them. The safest place for them to fight was, of course, the Huangpu River across the river, where they could see each other. They did not even need to send armored troops to protect them. They could just send their artillery regiment's guard battalion directly.
The armored battalion was sent to protect the howitzer battalion, but one armored battalion was not enough. Long Wenzhang transferred another infantry battalion.
"Do you know why I asked the Central Army for resources?”Chen Zhihua stood in front of the Huangpu River in the dark and asked calmly.
At this time, the Huangpu River was not as beautiful as it was in the future, and the surrounding buildings were not tall. However, some of the buildings that Chen Zhihua had seen in the future were already there.
Of course, it was different from the ones he saw in the future. Perhaps it was because it was rebuilt later.
The opposite side was brightly lit. Although in Chen Zhihua's eyes, this little bit of light was nothing, it was already prosperous enough in this era where the entire China was dark at night.
What a pity…
Zhou Weiguo, who was standing at the side, did not say a word. He seemed to be protesting silently.
"Because I can't afford to fight. War costs too much money and resources. Don't think that I have a lot of good things. Without money and resources, I'm just a pile of scrap metal.”He looked at the opposite side indifferently and continued,"We are most likely going to lose this battle. In this kind of battlefield environment, my division is powerless. Moreover, I don't have enough resources to support them from start to finish. "Therefore, after nightfall tomorrow, we will retreat and set up defenses west of Shanghai. There are no cities obstructing us there, so it is suitable for our troops to fight. In addition, we can also have more time to gather resources. It can also be considered as a cover for these troops to retreat!”
Whoosh!
A fiery light shot up into the sky, dragging out a long trail of flames. The flames crazily devoured the surrounding air, using its own heat to ruthlessly tear apart all the air that dared to block it. The air seemed to have been cut open, constantly letting out painful cries, but this cry could not reduce its pain.
The speed of the fire was so fast that it could be seen with the naked eye. It suddenly rose from behind them, passed over their heads, passed through the International Settlement, French Settlement, and other concessions on the opposite side, and then plunged into the northern part of the International Settlement.
In order to prevent other people from causing damage, the Japanese had already cleared out the concession at the beginning of the war. All the Chinese people were either killed or captured, and some of them escaped during the chaos.
Therefore, other than the Japanese army, the only people left in the concession were the Japanese citizens.
Boom…
In the distance, a fiery red light suddenly erupted, followed by a huge explosion. The ground shook less violently than the heavy artillery.
Therefore, it gave people the illusion that the power of this thing did not seem to be as powerful as imagined?
"This is a cannon?" Zhou Weiguo asked in surprise.
Chen Zhihua smiled calmly and did not respond.
Less than a kilometer behind him, at the location of the rocket launcher battle.
The so-called battle position was actually just based on the requirements of the battle. There was no need for the artillery to prepare the emplacement in advance. It was good to have a truck pulling it. When it was time to manually put down the support frame, they would fire the cannon. After firing, they would run. If everything was prepared in advance, from firing the cannon to running, they could complete it in two minutes.
"Alright, I understand!" Krupp held the phone in one hand and nodded.
This was the first time he had fired such a blind shot, so he was a little nervous. The rocket launcher he fired earlier was used as a test shot.
The people from Not Spicy carried walkie-talkies and hid in the dark to observe the landing point. However, the people from Not Spicy were not very cultured. Naturally, they could not directly tell them the coordinates of the landing point and the shooting elements that needed to be adjusted.
However, even an uncultured person could be an observer. For example, the information that Bu La had sent back now meant that their landing point was a little too close to the front. They only needed to retreat about 500 meters and pull another 200 meters to the east.
Then, Krupp used the firing elements of the rocket launcher as the center to adjust the entire firing elements.
Soon, a new shooting element was calculated by Krupp. Of course, this was also difficult. If Chen Zhihua hadn't strengthened Krupp's ability, he wouldn't have been able to calculate it even if he was killed.
Although Krupp's cannons were accurate in the past, he had always relied on his eyes to aim.
" With these coordinates as the basis, the entire battalion…" Krupp handed over the coordinates. It seemed a little difficult…
The general didn't say how many rounds he would fight. If it was the old Krupp, he would definitely fight as many as possible. Otherwise, it wouldn't be satisfying.
But now…
What the f * ck…
Krupp scratched his head frantically. Although a battalion only had 64 rocket launchers, each of them could fire 16 rockets. In seven to ten seconds, they could fire 1,024 rockets.
If it was placed on a flat ground, the killing radius of a rocket was calculated according to 30 meters. A salvo could cover an area with a radius of at least five kilometers.
Of course, there were still some errors, so the firing elements of the rocket launcher were adjusted to make the bullet points more dense. This way, it would not affect the innocent, but the appearance of the area covered would be even worse.
"Let's play three rounds first…"
