At the same time, at the artillery regiment's position.
The 105mm light howitzer and the 75mm field cannon raised their muzzles and adjusted their angles.
The members of the artillery team knelt on one knee and were ready to fire.
Behind them were crates of shells, making the artillery position extremely crowded.
According to the relevant regulations, it was against the rules to pile up ammunition at such a close distance.
However, they were only facing bandits with tattered equipment, so they did not have to worry about their artillery counterattack.
The ammo was piled up beside the cannons, making it easier for the soldiers to move them. The time it took to load the shells was shortened, making the saturated attack stronger.
"Army commander's command, open fire!”
The signalman passed the order word by word to the various artillery teams.
The Artillery Regiment immediately pulled the bowstring and fired.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
20 105mm light howitzers instantly fired their shells.
The cannonball was like a flood dragon that had come out of the sea, causing the surrounding air to tremble.
Thick dust instantly rose from the artillery position, and the shells pierced through the clouds and smashed into the bandits.
The 40 75mm field cannons also began to fire their ammunition. Although they were not as powerful as the 105mm light howitzers, they had a higher firing frequency.
Red smoke instantly appeared in the sky, and several giant dragons roared over.
In an instant, the sky was filled with rumbling dragon cries and the sound of artillery shells exploding.
The vibrations in the air also caused the surrounding forest to tremble, causing more than half of the leaves on the trees to fall.
The dragon's roar instantly enveloped the entire world, filling the atmosphere of the Asura Arena.
The bandits had never seen such a huge formation before!
The only thing he had seen was the scene of locusts flying in the sky during the locust plague. However, there was no locust plague at this time!
Duangduangduang！
The cannonballs that were approaching from afar suddenly smashed down like a rainstorm!
At this moment, the bandits who had already seen the danger were all stunned on the spot, unable to move their legs.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The moment the cannonball landed, a pitch-black hole bloomed on the ground like a flower.
The shrapnel in the air wantonly reaped the lives of the bandits.
The fall of a cannonball often represented the end of four or five bandits 'lives.
Zhang Xueming only gave the order to fire for half an hour.
In this half an hour, the soldiers of the artillery regiment under the new 1st Division pushed the ammunition with all their might, demonstrating their solid training.
This was also their first time engaging in a real battle artillery bombardment, so everyone from the officers to the soldiers was unusually excited.
Looking at the cannonballs that they had personally fired flying in the sky, their hearts were filled with enthusiasm.
"Soldiers, work harder!"
"Although we can't go on stage to kill the bandits, we'll use the cannonballs in our hands to end the bandits 'lives!”
"We aren't any worse than those infantrymen!”
After only ten minutes of bombardment, every soldier's forehead was covered in raindrops of sweat.
In order to maximize the firepower, the soldiers did not stop to drink water. They continued to push the ammunition with their bare arms.
On the west side of the county town, there were a large number of bandits.
To the bandits who had been exposed, this was the main target of the artillery regiment.
Every explosion represented the end of the bandit's life.
They had never thought that they would be able to see a scene more terrifying than the mountain torrents and mudflows in their lives.
The firepower of the Feng army was even more shocking than the power of nature!
God, is this the heavenly punishment?
Even the 18 levels of hell were nothing more than this!
This was probably what every bandit was thinking.
If they had another chance, they would never attack Shangou County just because of the bandit leader's bewitchment.
Or they would swear that they would never be bandits again!
The artillery shells rained down like rain. At this moment, the entire mountain was covered in charred soil and broken bodies that could not be distinguished from arms or legs!
The bandits on the battlefield were all dazed, wandering around like madmen.
In the smoke that filled the sky, it was impossible to distinguish between north, south, east, and west.
They only knew to run towards the place where the sun was shining. Their morale was as thin as sand.
"Artillery is justice. Let these vicious bandits purify their bodies at this moment!”
Zhang Xueming sighed as he looked at the defeated bandits.
"Pfft! The cannons of the foreigners are indeed powerful, much more powerful than our little soldiers!”
The chief of staff sighed as he looked at the huge battlefield.
This was not what Zhang Xueming wanted to see.
This was also the first time that the Artillery Regiment under the direct command of the recruits had been on the battlefield. The high-intensity battle had exposed its shortcomings, and the landing points of the shells were also so chaotic.
Now, they were only facing inexperienced bandits. If they were to face the powerful Japanese A-type division head-on...
Or the European front-line army, then such an advantage in artillery would be wasted very quickly.
But Zhang Xueming didn't point this out. After all, the recruits still needed to be encouraged when they went on stage.
It was through this kind of actual combat that one could expose their own shortcomings. This way, they could create the strongest army on the surface that would win every battle.
