The smoke bomb enveloped the entire Baoshan County.
This method not only prevented the Japanese's aerial forces from carrying out effective bombing, but it also blinded the artillery observation balloons that were raised near the Japanese's artillery positions.
The Japanese's artillery observation balloons were used to better lock onto the Chinese artillery positions in Baoshan County.
The Japanese realized that the Chinese army's cannons were often fatal.
After a dozen minutes of artillery fire, another dozen of their cannons were destroyed. On the other hand, the firepower of the Chinese cannons did not decrease much.
They could only quickly assemble the artillery observation balloons. However, the Japanese soon realized that they could not see the Chinese artillery positions in the distance because they were blocked by the smoke.
This kind of smoke was very thick. It was not a natural fog at all. It would not disappear when it came into contact with flames. Instead, it would become thicker and thicker.
Soon, the news reached the ears of the commander of the 68th regiment, Kawasaki Sadajima.
The colonel was asking his superiors what had happened to the cannons. They were continuing to provide support and destroy the Chinese artillery in Baoshan County.
In the end, the higher-ups only told him that the gunboats had lost their combat ability and had withdrawn from the battlefield.
As for the reason, Kawasaki Sadaji didn't have time to ask further and hung up the phone.
Following that, the people below came over to report. The entire Baoshan County camp was covered in thick smoke. The frontline camp could not see the situation on the other side at all.
"What is going on?"
Kawasaki Sadagi, who had personally come to the front line, put down the binoculars in his hand and asked the few staff officers beside him.
"Colonel, when the aerial unit arrived, a large amount of smoke rose up from the entire Baoshan County. Then, we couldn't see anything. Now, the smoke is spreading over and will soon cover our front line.”
When Kawasaki Sadaji heard this, he frowned. He had never encountered such a situation before, and he did not know how to deal with it for a moment.
Most importantly, the weather today was too good. There wasn't even a little wind, which was why the thick smoke didn't disperse for a long time.
"We can't see them in this thick fog, and they can't see anything either. Send out a small team with signal flares immediately. Once we can take over the enemy's position, fire the signal flares immediately.”
Facing the thick fog in front of him, Kawasaki Sadaji could only carry out simple probing. At least, this thick fog was beneficial to the attacking side.
At the front line, the vanguard team that was originally in charge of the attack quietly moved forward under the cover of the thick smoke.
The thick fog didn't really block one's vision. A large amount of smoke was only concentrated at a height of about 30 centimeters from the ground to a height of more than ten meters.
Therefore, as long as they climbed down, they could still see further.
Of course, this was also a space that both sides could use.
However, Liu Ze didn't need to go through so much trouble.
Liu Ze had already noticed the movement of the Japanese Vanguard Squad through his personal computer.
Although the fog blocked the vision of the Japanese aerial soldiers, it also prevented the defensive forces on the ground from seeing the enemy's attack.
Only when the enemy was about 20 meters away could they see the enemy's footsteps.
However, the smoke did not affect Liu Ze at all because he had the map scan on his personal computer. Any enemy within a kilometer would be exposed to him.
Liu Ze took out his Shengyao Rifle and quickly locked the muzzle on the Vanguard Squad that was quietly advancing.
Silently, bullets pierced through the thick smoke. The Japanese soldiers who were careful and moved forward with light footsteps were killed by the silent bullets.
In less than a minute, Liu Ze had already fired more than 30 shots. In the open space between the front line and the front line of the Japanese, a small team of Japanese soldiers fell in a pool of blood.
However, because there were no subsequent kills, the system began to calculate. This Vanguard Party did not even drop a single gold coin, let alone other items.
Liu Ze didn't care about this. Taking this opportunity to take down a small Japanese team was more important than gold coins or items dropped.
In Liu Ze's opinion, the system reward was not important. If he could kill an invader, there would be one less invader in the world. This was more meaningful than anything else.
Since they did not continue to detonate smoke bombs, even though the weather was very calm today, the smoke on the outer perimeter of the camp was gradually dissipating.
Seeing that the Japanese had already raised the artillery observation balloons, Liu Ze continued to release the smoke bombs hidden in the city to protect the artillery positions.
As time passed, the smoke quickly dissipated to a certain extent.
At this moment, Kawasaki Sadaji and the others who were at the front line of the Japanese army could vaguely see the corpses of more than 30 vanguard squads less than 200 meters away from the front line of the Chinese army.
When he saw the shape of the Vanguard Squad's corpse, one of Kawasaki Sadaji's staff officers said excitedly,""Your Excellency, it's that Liu Ze. The soldiers of the 6th Regiment who died at Liu Ze's hands are exactly the same as what we're seeing now.”
When Kawasaki Sadaji heard this, he immediately became spirited. He ignored the team that had died and immediately said to the signalman behind him,"Immediately report to the dispatch command that we met Liu Ze. The attack on the gunboats must be directly related to him.”
Although he was excited, if he could kill Liu Ze here, he would become a hero of the empire.
However, in addition to his excitement, Kawasaki Sadaji also knew that Liu Ze was able to destroy the 6th Regiment and the gunboat fleet through some unknown means. He was the most difficult opponent to deal with.
When he learned that Liu Ze's main target was in Baoshan County, Matsui Ishigen immediately sent an order to the 68th Regiment, requesting that they kill Liu Ze even if they had to give up on attacking Baoshan County.
For this reason, Matsui Ishigen transferred a squadron of chariots that had just come ashore to the 68th Regiment.
When they found out that the artillery of the 68th regiment was in trouble, they sent another heavy artillery regiment to support them.
However, after knowing that Baoshan County was sealed off by thick smoke, Matsui Ishigen thought about it and did not continue to send aerial troops.
Instead, he sent the 3rd Cavalry Regiment that had just come ashore to head to Baoshan County. He also let the 18th Regiment take over the task of attacking the Lion Mountain Cannon, let the 34th Regiment take over the task of attacking Luodian, and let the 68th Regiment gather their forces to surround Baoshan County.
In the end, Matsui Ishigane called the navy fleet commander, Kawakiyo Hasegawa, and requested the navy to dispatch the main force of the expulsion team to block the river to prevent Liu Ze from escaping.
Under Iwane Matsui's arrangement, more forces gathered in Baoshan County. The small Baoshan County was truly a gathering place.
