The 1st Heavy Artillery Battalion, which had replaced the W90 203mm howitzer, launched a precise bombardment on the Japanese.
This caused the Japanese defense line outside the Marine Corps headquarters to be instantly enveloped by dense artillery fire.
Up until now, the thing that scared the Japanese the most was not the tanks of the Special Task Force or the snipers, but the terrifyingly accurate artillery.
This kind of cannon fire could accurately land on their heads every time.
Hao Luo fully utilized the System Map's function, constantly searching for the Japanese's hidden buildings and ruins, guiding the heavy artillery to launch precise attacks.
Over a thousand Japanese were killed in Hankou Garden. Many of them were killed by the heavy artillery under Hao Luo's guidance.
Even if it was an ordinary shell used by the W90 203mm howitzer, one shot could easily create a 10-meter diameter crater. The lethality was far greater than the previous 155mm howitzer.
The entire area around the Japanese Marine Corps was also filled with holes from the artillery shells. At present, only the Marine Corps headquarters had not been directly hit by the artillery shells. The survival of the Japanese in other places was becoming more and more difficult.
Under the precise artillery fire, the Japanese aircraft carrier on Hangzhou Bay had no choice but to take off its aircraft and try to destroy the Special Task Force's artillery positions.
In the end, the second round of air strikes was once again blocked by the air defense camp.
The anti-air battalion, which was equipped with anti-air missiles, shot down more than ten Japanese aircraft.
The Japanese aircrafts hurriedly dropped their bombs, but they only injured a few unlucky soldiers.
However, the 10th and 14th Heavy Artillery Regiments were not having an easy time. Under the air strikes of the Japanese, several cannons were destroyed and dozens of people were killed or injured.
Then, Hao Luo spent some points to buy 20 anti-air cannons and sent them to Zhang Zhizhong.
Luo Hao also knew that Zhang Zhizhong did not have many qualified air defense soldiers. Giving them air defense weapons was more to scare the Japanese, but at least it was useful.
Especially in the next few days, as more and more Japanese planes arrived, such air raids would become the norm.
The special forces were still okay. If the Japanese launched a fierce air raid, Luo Hao could use his points to expand the scale of the air defense force, but Zhang Zhizhong could not.
Just as the Japanese launched two consecutive air strikes on the artillery positions, the Fire Country's Air Force also moved out once again. This time, they attacked the Japanese fleet in the waters around Shanghai.
Unfortunately, although some bombs landed on the Japanese's cruisers, because the bombs carried by the Fire Country's Air Force were all small bombs, they could not be loaded with torpedoes to attack. They only damaged two Japanese warships.
However, this also intimidated the Japanese fleet near Shanghai, forcing them to stay away from Shanghai's coastline again.
A day of battle passed just like that.
The Special Task Force also completed a full encirclement of the Marine Corps headquarters under the precise attack of artillery fire.
They also cut off the passage between the Marine Corps headquarters and the other defense lines.
There were still more than a thousand Japanese soldiers in the headquarters of the Japanese Marine Corps. They controlled many traffic arteries and defense lines in the concession.
The mission of the Special Task Force was to take down the Marine Corps Headquarters. The battles in other places were the missions of the Fire Country's other armies.
By cutting off the connection between the Marine Corps headquarters and the other defense lines, the Special Task Force not only completed the first step of the combat mission, but also helped the other brothers reduce a lot of pressure.
However, the headquarters of the Marine Corps was definitely a tough nut to crack.
After being run by the Japanese's Marine Corps, this Marine Corps headquarters was a fortress-level defensive building.
Large numbers of shooting holes were scattered all over the fortress 'walls. There were light and heavy machine guns and various muzzles. At the same time, there were mortar positions in the fortress that could cover all the surrounding areas.
The walls around the headquarters were also made of thick reinforced concrete. It was difficult for ordinary heavy artillery to destroy them.
In fact, Hao Luo was reluctant to use heavy artillery to attack the Marine Corps headquarters.
The reason was simple. The Special Task Force needed a place to stay.
Hao Luo had his eyes on the Marine Corps headquarters that the Japanese had been running for decades.
If they could not destroy this building and take it down, the Japanese would send reinforcements to West University. The Special Services Regiment would also have a safe base in Shanghai to fight the Japanese to the end.
Therefore, Hao Luo also ordered the troops to break into the Marine Corps headquarters as much as possible and kill the Japanese from the inside.
However, achieving this goal was far more difficult than a normal attack.
However, Hao Luo already had a plan of action, which was the decapitation operation.
Sneak into the headquarters of the Marine Corps, open the heavy doors of the headquarters, and lead the troops into the headquarters.
Currently, there were no special forces in the entire Special Task Force that could carry out this mission. There were no special forces recruitment cards that could be purchased in the system store.
However, this wasn't a problem for Hao Luo. After signing for three years, Hao Luo had constantly honed himself. When it came to special operations, no one was more proficient than him in this era.
Under the cover of the night, the Secret Service Division that had completely surrounded the Marine Corps headquarters also stopped all military operations.
The cooks sent the cooked food to the front line.
All the food supplies were purchased by Hao Luo directly from the mall.
Because of the war in Shanghai, even the Special Services Regiment, which had a large amount of money, could not buy enough supplies in one go.
After all, there were other brother troops that were also buying supplies.
In addition, it was cheaper to buy in the mall, so a large amount of food was bought by Hao Luo from the mall.
Tonight's dinner was very sumptuous. The class leader and the cook had mastered advanced cooking skills. Although the big pot of rice was not exquisite, the taste was not inferior to modern Michelin three-star chefs.
Fried noodles, rice, meat buns, bone soup, vegetables, and each person had about a pound of braised three-layer meat.
The soldiers of the Special Task Force were strong in combat, but they also had a big appetite.
There was a big bowl of staple food, vegetables, a big bowl of soup, and a pound of braised pork. After eating it, he could even eat an apple.
Hao Luo was about the same. He quickly ate his portion and satisfied his five internal organs.
