"Artillery battalion—on your positions!!!"
On an open space in the southwest of Wu'an Township.
Upon receiving orders from the regimental headquarters, the artillery battalion immediately prepared for battle, with each artillery group aiming at the Jin-Sui Army's positions ahead according to the pre-set firing range.
The total number of guns exceeds 800, including the Type 94 90mm light mortar, the Type 92 infantry gun, the Type 94 mountain gun, the Type 92 105mm field cannon, and the Type 4 150mm field gun.
Among them, there were 136 Type 92 105mm field cannons and 21 Type 4 150mm field guns, all of which were the main equipment of the Independent Regiment.
Artillery Battalion Commander Zhao Laogen roared, "Ready—Fire!"
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom—!"
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom—!!"
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom—!!!"
The fuse was lit, and a large number of shells instantly streaked across the night sky with sharp, piercing whistles as they rained down on the distant Jin-Sui Army positions.
"Commander, should we send infantry up and annihilate the Independent Regiment?"
At the forward command post of the 66th Division, Huang Zhongchang looked at Liu Shiying with great interest, seeking his opinion.
"Annihilate the Independent Regiment?" Liu Shiying shook his head. "No rush. Let them see the artillery fire of my Jin-Sui Army first, let them know what a regular army is!!!"
"Commander, you are wise," Huang Zhongchang quickly complimented.
"Buzz—!"
"Buzz—!!"
"Buzz—!!!"
Suddenly, a tremor came from the northeast corner of the position, and then the whole of Wu'an Township trembled.
The earth-shattering roar instantly drew the attention of the officers and soldiers of the 66th Division.
"What is that?"
Liu Shiying was a little dumbfounded; he had never heard such a violent roar before.
Even the Japanese heavy artillery regiments rarely produced such powerful cannon fire.
"Commander, this is a large-caliber cannon!"
Huang Zhongchang's pupils contracted sharply, his eyes filled with fear as he stared at the northeast direction.
"A large-caliber cannon?"
"The Eighth Route Army's Independent Regiment has large-caliber cannons!?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Large-caliber cannon shells are more expensive than heavy machine gun bullets. Where did they get the shells?"
"Look, artillery positions!"
Liu Shiying's gaze quickly shifted to the location of the artillery position. The next second, Liu Shiying's eyes widened, and her heart leaped into her throat.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"
One after another, shells trailing long plumes of flame tore through the dark night sky and fell toward the artillery positions of the Jin-Sui Army.
"Boom boom boom boom boom..."
"Boom boom boom boom boom..."
The shells landed on the artillery positions of the Jin-Sui Army. In an instant, a dazzling red light flashed, thick smoke billowed, and explosions rang out in rapid succession. The Jin-Sui Army's artillery positions were instantly engulfed in flames.
"Pfft—!"
"Oh!"
"It hurts so much..."
"Run! Run!!!"
Countless artillerymen of the Jin-Sui Army clutched their heads and fled frantically.
Fortunately, Lin Feng did not kill them all. He simply bombarded the artillery positions of the Jin-Sui Army, tearing up layers of soil and filling the air with smoke.
Almost simultaneously, the Independent Regiment launched another round of shelling.
Accompanied by deafening cannon fire and scorching heat waves, shells flew over the Jin-Sui Army's artillery positions with a piercing whistling sound.
The artillery positions of the Jin-Sui Army were instantly transformed into huge craters.
The soldiers of the Jin-Sui Army who were watching from the sidelines were so terrified that they wet themselves, defecating and urinating at the same time. The scene was simply unbearable to watch.
"Commander, Commander, Commander, what do we do?"
Huang Zhongchang looked at Liu Shiying with trepidation. He wished he could disappear into the ground because he had lost face so badly.
A dignified infantry division of the Jin-Sui Army was utterly humiliated by the Eighth Route Army's Independent Regiment!
Liu Shiying gritted his teeth: "Retreat! Retreat immediately!"
Although he was unwilling, Liu Shiying dared not stay any longer, because he knew that the enemy's firepower was too fierce, and if he continued to stay in the same place, he would only die!
"yes!"
However, the soldiers of the 66th Division had just run out of their positions.
The artillery battalion of the Independent Regiment blocked all their escape routes, and shells, with sharp and piercing whistles, rained down on them with overwhelming force.
In an instant, the Jin-Sui army was thrown into chaos and could only flee in panic.
They returned to their positions, trembling with fear.
In this way, the Independent Regiment blocked an entire division using only artillery fire.
The artillery fire lasted for a full thirty minutes, leaving everyone stunned.
But many more officers and soldiers of the Jin-Sui Army had become numb, panicked, and desperate.
The Independent Regiment's firepower was so formidable that it completely overturned their understanding and refreshed their worldview!
"Quickly! Send a message to the 129th Division and the Second War Zone! Tell them to step in and mediate immediately!"
"What are you all standing there for! Go and submit a report!!!"
"Hurry up! Hurry up and get the report done!!!"
Liu Shiying's face was ashen; this was a disgrace, an utter and complete disgrace.
As the division commander of the Jin-Sui Army, he has lost face tonight and will surely become a laughing stock of the entire Chinese nation in the future.
………………………………
The Independent Regiment's base.
At this moment, Lin Feng was sitting in a chair with his eyes closed, resting.
"Thump~ thump~ thump~~!"
A series of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.
