"Fire!"
"We can't open it, these are 40,000 compatriots!”
"Then tell me, Zhou Yun, what about the Munitions Factory? What about the 100,000 citizens of the Wang Family Town?"
“……”
In the command post, Zhou Yun and Li Yunlong were arguing. Now that Li Yunlong had agreed to fire, Zhou Yun could not bear it.
Yesterday evening, near the minefield.
A little girl who had been knocked unconscious by the shockwave woke up. Her face was filled with fear, worry, and helplessness. When she woke up, there was no one alive except for broken limbs on the ground.
When he saw Zhou Yun, who was wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, his eyes suddenly burst with joy as if he had seen his family. This was because his parents had said that if they were not around one day, they should go to the Eighth Route Army. Those soldiers in gray clothes would protect him.
"Uncle Eighth Route Army, can you help me find my parents?”
Zhou Yun, who was patrolling the battlefield, stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at the little girl in ragged clothes. When he saw the trust in her eyes, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
Did I really do something wrong?
To be able to gain the trust of a seven or eight-year-old girl, this…
"Your parents might have been killed by the Japanese.”
"Oh ~"
Seeing that she wasn't crying, Zhou Yun asked curiously,""Aren't you sad that your parents have passed away?”
"I'm sad. Last month, my brother and grandparents were killed by the Japanese on the way to escape. It was the Eighth Route Army who saved us.”
"Yes, I will save you ~"
wow ~
After receiving the guarantee, the little girl burst into tears. Her heart-wrenching cries made one's heart ache.
Only then did Zhou Yun realize that the little girl was probably afraid that he would not save her, so she suppressed her sadness and tried her best to be obedient.
He was so sensible that it made one's heart ache.
In the command center.
Li Yunlong, Chu Yunfei, and Li Dapeng saw that Zhou Yun was deep in thought and did not dare to disturb him. The few of them communicated with their eyes. However, when they heard the cries that were getting closer and closer, they were extremely anxious.
"Fire! I will take all the responsibility!”
A hoarse voice came out of Zhou Yun's mouth. He walked out of the command center without looking back, looking in the direction of Wang Town with a heavy heart.
There would be casualties no matter what choice he made, so he had to consider the big picture.
Even if he was punished, he would not regret it. At least the arsenal and 100,000 civilians would be saved.
"I'm your sworn brother. We'll share happiness and hardship together. You want to be a hero alone? Dream on.”
The voice behind him stunned Zhou Yun. Although he was a little touched, he still shook his head and refused.
"You're different from me. I'm not a first-line officer. So what if I'm punished?”
"This…"
"Alright, open fire!”
In front.
Seeing that they were less than 500 meters away from the Eighth Route Army's position, the 100,000 or so devils revealed ferocious smiles, as if victory was already in their grasp.
"Order, kill without mercy after breaking through the enemy's position. Kill all the Chinese people, do you understand?”
"Hey, long live the Emperor!"
"Sky…Whoosh whoosh whoosh…Boom boom!"
Before he could finish shouting the slogan, the artillery shells that covered the sky and earth fell from the sky. It was a devastating blow when they landed in the dense crowd.
Whoosh ~
A cannonball smashed into the ground. Dozens of civilians wanted to escape in fear. Before they could turn around, a few tenths of a second later…Boom…The crowd instantly vaporized, not even leaving behind a residue!
All flesh and blood within a 50-meter radius were torn to shreds, and the shockwave spread far away. Anything in its path was blown to the ground as if it had been blown by a typhoon.
Boom! Boom!
The new regiment's mortars were divided into three sections. The 60-mortar covered an area of 1200 meters, the 80-mortar covered an area of 2500 meters, and the 120-mortar covered an area of 5500 meters.
The super fast firing speed and coverage completely shattered Tada Shun's plot. These 100,000 people were quickly killed like they were lined up to be shot.
Corpses were strewn all over the ground, and blood and flesh flew everywhere!
In less than 15 minutes, the 400 - 500 mortars fired more than 10,000 shells, plowing through the five-kilometer area. There was almost no blind spot.
Fifteen minutes later, the bombardment stopped!
Craters that were ten meters in diameter and four to five meters deep covered the entire bombing area. Those with trypophobia would definitely not be able to stand it.
The soil that was blown away by the explosion mixed with the body fragments, forming a soft soil layer more than one meter thick. It would sink one's feet if one stepped on it.
"Kill the devils, kill the devils, charge!!!”
Zhang Dabiao was the first to charge out, followed by thousands of people from the New Regiment and Regiment 778.
Hu ~
Zhou Yun sat on a huge rock halfway up the mountain. He watched the bombardment with a dull gaze. His mind was already in a daze.
This was his bomb fruit?
"Heh, so I'm the real executioner.”
" Minister Zhou, you didn't do anything wrong. You're wrong about this era."
Chu Yunfei walked over and sat beside him.""In order to win, there will always be sacrifices. Tada Jun's Third Corps has been completely wiped out, which will have a huge impact on the Wei Nation.”
Was that so?
Zhou Yun suddenly wanted to slap himself. Why was he being so merciful!
Those who could achieve great things had one characteristic, and that was ruthlessness.
Moreover, there was no second choice. In order for more people to survive, there was no need to have a psychological burden.
"Tada Jun is too smart. Based on his understanding of the 8th Route Army, he must have thought that we wouldn't be able to open fire if we coerced the civilians. That's why he sent all three divisions to deal with the situation in an attempt to end the battle in one go and prevent a counterattack!”
"If he had held back, he wouldn't have let us win so easily. But now that the Wang Family Town crisis has been resolved, my crisis will most likely arrive soon.”
"Minister Zhou, you mean…you're going to be punished?”
" Yes, if it's not execution, then you'll be expelled from the army and sent to prison. Take care of yourself in the future…"
