Chapter 130 Despair
In just five minutes, Yoshima Oshima even felt that it seemed like a century long. There was no dust falling on the top of the command center built with gray steel bars. There was continuous explosion sound in his ears, and the flashes of gorgeous firelight in his eyes, but the gorgeous firelight was extremely huge after it. Even though many soldiers had already hid in the trenches and fortifications, the extremely fierce shock wave still lifted many people into the air and then tore them apart!
After the first round of volleys of the Pacific Fleet battleship formation, the entire Xiaguan position was already in chaos. Countless fortifications turned into ruins after artillery fire, and dark human torso scattered on the ground. Because the dismemberment was too powerful, it was impossible to tell which part of the human body it was.
Most of the Japanese soldiers who had just entered the battlefield hugged their heads with their legs and curled up their bodies deeply in the trenches. The other timid soldiers were frightened by the fierce sound of cannons, and they knelt helplessly in the trenches crying and calling their parents.
Although the officers in the command had been mentally prepared, their faces were still pale due to the unexpected violent shelling. Only Yoshita Oshima did not move as if he was nailed to the ground.
Yoshima Oshima put down his telescope. The reactions of the recruits just now made him curse: "Baga, don't they know that these damn recruits should hide in the trenches when the shelling comes?"
Within five minutes, the shore artillery on the Japanese position in Xiaguan began to fight back. The new recruits on the position were also urged by experienced veterans to catch up with their respective posts, operate the artillery on the position, and aimed the attack target at the Chinese warships sailing at the sea.
After a while, the sound of counterattacks on the Shigaoguan position gradually became dense and regular. At this time, the anger on Oshima Yoshima's face faded slightly, but he did not become blindly optimistic, because this was just the first volley of the Pacific Fleet.
The Japanese cannons on the Xiaguan position kept erupting angry flames. However, at such a long distance, most of the cannons on the Japanese position landed on the sea hundreds of meters ahead of the Pacific Fleet. In addition to causing waves several meters high, they basically did not cause much damage to the Pacific Fleet's battleships.
Occasionally, a few shells hit one of the battleships, but except for leaving a few black marks on the thick armor, it could not cause much damage to it.
The battle continues!
The air-to-air bombardment lasted for nearly an hour, with nearly 10,000 shells whizzing through the air, and the sea surface of Xiaguan was boiling like a boom. The ended up, Yoshima Oshima's face became worse and worse.
Because of this firepower confrontation, more and more artillery batteries on the position were destroyed and turned toward the Huaxia side. The main guns under the gunners on the battleships of the Chinese Pacific Fleet seemed to have eyes, and often had several concentrated artillery bombardments. A heavy-loaded artillery turned into a hot pool of iron, just like the Pacific Fleet mastered the firepower division map on the Xiaguan position.
When he thought of this, the muscles on the corner of Yoshihara Oshima's mouth couldn't help but twitch. Thinking of the three planes hovering over the Shiroku yesterday, Yoshihara Oshima immediately understood that the three planes yesterday were conducting fire reconnaissance!
In order to restore the upcoming decline, Yoshima Oshima immediately ordered other hidden firepower to launch an attack on the Pacific Fleet on the sea.
These well-disguised bunkers and secret cannons were specially built by Yoshikazu Oshima, who specially recruited a large number of civilians to cause accidental damage to the invading Chinese troops when landing. However, seeing the situation on the battlefield, Yoshikazu Oshima had to show off these secret weapons, including the long-range large-caliber Krupp steel cannons specially used by Yoshikazu Oshima to deal with warships! Of course, those who operate these giant cannons were all elite soldiers under Yoshikazu Oshima.
As Yoshima Oshima's order was fully transmitted to the position, on dozens of originally silent commanding heights, the well-trained Japanese veterans opened the dark gray camouflage that blocked the giant cannons, and dozens of hideous muzzles were aimed at the Pacific Fleet ships that were constantly firing on the distant sea surface under the command of the Japanese artillery captain.
After calculating the shooting elements, the artillery forward command post in front of the Xiaguan position passed various data to the giant artillery position in the rear through the signal flag.
Soon, after the deputy gunman who assisted the gunman's work reported to shoot the world, dozens of dark and ferocious artillery fire continued to move. After aiming, with the gunman's order, the muzzle thrust in front of the gunman trembled violently, and the shells were shot out from the jaw. For a moment, bright jaws flashed almost at the back of the Xiaguan position at the same time. Huge explosion gas surged out from the exhaust hole of the gun body, and several Japanese soldiers' military caps were blown away on the spot.
As soon as the shell was shot out, the open and closed hand quickly opened the bolt. The sender immediately sent a brand new shell with the bullet rod. The loader brought thick gloves and immediately sent the shells in dozens of kilograms into the barrel. The fuse hand quickly installed the fuze. All the movements were done in one go without any dragging, fully demonstrating the strength of the elite artillery unit hidden by Yoshima Oshima.
When the second shell was about to be launched, the first round of test fires had already landed densely around the battleship station of the Pacific Fleet. Two of them even directly concentrated the superstructure on the Dragon War. The huge explosive force directly overturned several Pacific Fleet soldiers, and a raging fire suddenly ignited on the deck!
In a moment, the second round of artillery bombing on the Japanese heavy artillery position came, and this time another battleship was shot, and the bow of the ship was directly sunk. Fortunately, the gap was not opened.
In just ten minutes, the elite heavy artillery hidden by Yoshima Oshima caused certain damage to the Pacific Fleet. So far, at least three battleships were shot, but under the thick armor, it did not cause fatal serious injuries. However, because the Dragon War was located in the front, the Dragon War was the most shot. At this time, a raging fire had already been on the deck of the Dragon War. At least a dozen soldiers were killed and more than 30 soldiers were injured. Among them, the two small-caliber machine guns on the port side lost their combat effectiveness on the spot. The Dragon War War was in chaos, and the soldiers ran on the deck to put out the fire and rescue...
Yoshima Oshima put down the telescope in his hand, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Under the counterattack of heavy artillery, the Pacific Fleet's offensive was blocked, and the attack was no longer as fierce as before. Several warships kept doing evasive actions at the sea, and the firing speed of the naval guns was greatly slowed down.
In the bridge command room of the Fearless, Ye Zugui frowned slightly, and the telescope in his hand was closely following the battle situation. Cheng Biguang sneered and said, "If the president is not wrong, this cunning Yoshihara Oshima really has a hand."
Ye Zugui handed the telescope in his hand to Cheng Biguang and smiled and said, "It's just a fight of trapped beasts! Let them persevere for a while, but the ending will never change!"
Cheng Biguang also nodded: "The Air Force should be on the road at this time!"
Ye Zugui immediately ordered that the ships be allowed to move freely, no longer focus on attacks, but mainly avoid heavy artillery from the Japanese positions in Xiaguan. Ye Zugui did not want to consume too much strength of the Pacific Fleet in the small Xiaguan Mountains.
The balance on the battlefield began to tilt towards the Japanese army at this time, but this situation lasted for less than an hour, because Yoshima Oshima heard the roar that made him feel restless again!
It was the huge roar of the engine! The Chinese Air Force was dispatched!
Yoshima Oshima raised his head, and in the telescope's eyepiece, several black dots suddenly appeared in his field of vision. When the outline of the black dots became clearer, Yoshima Oshima's pupils in his single eye contracted violently, clenched his right fist with force, and his knuckles even turned slightly white due to force.
Other officers in the command center felt that Yoshima Oshima's breathing was getting faster and faster, and raised their telescopes to search the sky for the source of the noise.
One of the Japanese colonels said in a disloyal voice: "There are actually ten planes in China!"
Yoshita Oshima frowned. He thought there were only three Chinese planes that came to investigate yesterday. After all, it seemed that these types of aircraft were complex and expensive. It was already very good to build three with the strength of China. Unexpectedly, they were actually ten!
Yesterday, the simple dive strafing of three planes had already caused Oshima Yoshihara's headache. Now what appeared before him was ten planes!
What is the concept of a ten plane? Yoshima Oshima no longer dares to imagine it anymore!
Suddenly, Yoshima Oshima screamed strangely, quickly put down the telescope in his hand, roared at the officers in the command center, "Let the soldiers on the heavy artillery positions hide the Krupp's giant cannon again, and immediately order the anti-aircraft artillery troops to prepare for the battle!"
Hearing the silence of Yoshihara Oshima, who had always been extremely calm, everyone immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and quickly generated electricity for the heavy artillery troops and ordered the anti-aircraft artillery troops to prepare.
The uneasiness in Oshima Yoshima's heart became stronger and stronger, as if he was about to tear his heart and break out of his body. Oshima Yoshima staggered twice, covered his cramped chest with one hand, and cold sweat was pouring on his forehead. The young adjutant quickly stepped forward to support Oshima Yoshima who was about to fall.
At this time, Yoshihara Oshima kept recalling the figures of the planes yesterday. It was obvious that the belly of the plane that only rode on two members needed to be built so big that even if it was fully loaded with machine gun bullets, it would not occupy that much space. The only explanation was that the huge belly of the plane was not only loaded with bullets, but also likely to be loaded with bombs!
It's a bomb!
Yoshima Oshima clearly remembers that the high-ignition bombs dropped from the Nighthawk airship a few years ago almost turned the entire Tokyo into ruins!
And now, it seems that the Xiaguan position is about to repeat the same mistake again!
A trace of despair suddenly flashed in Oshima Yoshima's mind, which was almost suffocating despair.
However, all struggles were in vain, because there was already a huge fire in Oshima Yoshima's eyes, which was enough to devour all the fire.
