Under the blazing night sky, the land was charred black, and the air was filled with the thick smell of blood and smoke. Broken limbs were everywhere. A group of soldiers used their courage to repel the attack of more than 5,000 Japanese soldiers.
However, on this blood-stained battlefield, there were no loud cheers after victory, nor was there any joy of surviving. There was only a group of exhausted soldiers lying in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and burly men panting loudly.
No one would have thought that a group of new recruits who were still clueless two days ago would be able to fight evenly with the Japanese Army's Ace Division, or even better. Li Dadan was the same. He struggled to get up from the death line. His face was tired, but his heart was filled with burning hatred. His life was exchanged for by several veterans.
The dead veterans and recruits had turned into cold corpses, piled up into small hills. Crows circled in the sky, and there were many flies attracted by the smell of blood. It was simply a rotten hell.
In the end, only 300 of the 1,000-strong battalion survived. Most of them were injured, which showed how intense the battle was. However, this was the mission of a soldier. When the country was in danger, everyone would sacrifice their lives to protect their hometown without hesitation.
With the retreat of the Japanese infantry, Itagaki Seishiro's order had been sent to the heavy artillery brigade in the rear. They were part of the heavy artillery regiment stationed in Lushun. In order to fight with the Kwantung Army, they had specially come to Mukden.
This heavy artillery unit was equipped with 24 105mm howitzers and 12 150mm heavy cannons. Their firepower was extremely strong. Even an ordinary division level artillery unit could not compare to them.
"Creak!"
The sound of metal rubbing against metal came from the Japanese artillery position. Thirty-six heavy artillery were aimed at the Fengtian Guards in front of them. They opened their ferocious mouths, and the black metal barrels looked terrifying.
"Boom!" Suddenly, a 150mm heavy cannon let out a dull sound, and the entire camp was covered in dust. A cannonball shot out of the barrel, streaking through the orange flames and shooting into the sky. It then fell in a parabola, and wherever it passed, the air was ignited.
The first battalion commander looked at the sky in the distance and saw a fiery red dot of light rushing over and landing on the battlefield.”An unprecedented mushroom cloud rose, and the earth trembled. Everyone was so scared that their faces turned pale.
Although the impact point was some distance away from them, the power of the explosion was too terrifying. A wave of air kicked up a huge amount of dust and enveloped them all. The first battalion commander's face instantly changed. This was a f * cking 150 caliber heavy cannon!
" Cannon attack!" In an instant, heart-wrenching shouts rang out in the camp. The soldiers who were shocked by the explosion collapsed to the ground and looked at their battalion commander in a daze.
However, it was already too late. Countless red spots of light appeared in the dark night and became brighter and brighter. They instantly turned into a huge fireball and smashed down with a roar.”No one had the time to escape, and no one had the time to let out a tragic wail.
This was because huge mushroom clouds rose into the sky one after another. Flames were everywhere, and the explosions were deafening. It was as if the terrifying shockwaves of an earthquake had swept through all the soldiers, and their figures finally disappeared in the flames.
The ground was shaking, and the night was howling. Blood mist was everywhere, and the shrapnel turned into a killing weapon, harvesting the lives of the soldiers until the power was completely lost. Then, it pierced into the enemy's body.
The originally perfect defense of the 1st Battalion seemed so fragile under the bombardment of the heavy artillery. Even the reinforced concrete was blown into pieces and finally collapsed into ruins.
"Ah! F * ck your ancestors!" Looking at the battlefield, the battalion commander couldn't help but shout. However, under this destructive attack, everything turned into nothingness. Flesh and blood couldn't withstand the cannon fire. In the end, they turned into minced meat and disappeared into the soil.
The new recruits of Fengtian Guards had never come into contact with such a terrifying cannon. They were so scared that their bodies trembled. They could not imagine the scene of them being torn to pieces, so they could only lie on the ground and hope for luck.
However, under the heavy artillery, the camp collapsed and the mountain of corpses turned into ashes. No one could escape. The entire camp was enveloped by hundreds of heavy artillery shells, exploding again and again. There were ruins everywhere, and there were countless craters that were a few meters deep.
There were a few pieces of shrapnel in the charred black soil. There was a faint vapor on them. They were shrapnel that had just pierced through the human body.
At this moment, the battalion commander who had been hit by the aftermath of the cannonball slowly woke up. He felt a burning pain in his chest, his throat was dry as if it was on fire, and his face was covered in blood. He had never seen such a terrifying cannonball before, even in the past at Tiger Head Mountain.
