"You can't always fight small, small fights are combined with big fights, and devils are more likely to be careless." Meng Xiang said to Fan Chong.

The bases in the Special Zone have been adjusted, and ammunition is constantly being produced and prepared to be placed in various places where they are needed. The scale of the small fight is only a training of the vanguard army, not consumption, and the devil can naturally tell that the vanguard army is accumulating strength, and he has never dared to take it lightly.

After withdrawing some of the men, the following troops were continuously transferred and some of the manpower was replenished, and eight divisions were still stationed around the SAR.

"Get up!" Tomokazu Miura shouted. It's time to train.

At this time, the devils were well-trained, and their squadron quickly stood in line on the small farm. They were the only squadron in the entire small field, and since the incident of the Vanguard Army's shelling of the training ground, it was rare for people above the brigade to arrange the queue during the training at the front.

"Prepare for ......" Squadron Leader Tomokazu Miura was about to shout the order, but he suddenly looked up at the sky, and a muffled roar like thunder fell from the sky.

"Shelling!" He shouted loudly.

The vast majority of the devils immediately chose to lie down after training, but this time the shelling was a large-caliber heavy artillery, and the two newly built French cannons began to exert their might on land.

With a loud "boom", a huge crater appeared on the small field, and a huge part of the devils in a squadron had disappeared, only a dozen devils on the edge were running around with blood on their faces and screaming.

At the same time, the barracks also heard the sound of shells falling to the ground. The reconnaissance plane had already drawn the coordinates in advance, and according to the coordinates and the information sent back, the huge cannon shells accurately fell on the top of the devil's head.

The front-line position of the vanguard army was nearly twenty kilometers away from Xuzhou City, and even if large-caliber artillery could hit it, the accuracy rate was indeed much worse. The deterrent power is there, but the power is insufficient. Therefore, the devil has not been wary of the giant artillery bombardment of Xuzhou City by the vanguard army. They also didn't expect that there was a steel monster like the French cannon, which still had a guaranteed accuracy even at long distances.

"It's a pity that the devil has become cunning, and the headquarters is constantly transferred, otherwise if it is bombarded, so many officers will all be successfully honored." Meng Xiang said regretfully, this time the bombardment, the secondary sub-base supported the two of them at the same time, and at this time, it was Niu Yi and Hu Yi who were authorized by Meng Xiang. They can earn merit points by making cannons.

Especially Hu Yi, because he has been guarding Meng Xiang's side, he has not had many opportunities to get meritorious deeds, and he has not been promoted to level six, let alone level seven. The highest-ranking rat has improved very quickly in the continuous battle of the reading master, and at this time he has already touched the threshold of the seventh level.

The loud sound of "boom" continued to echo in Xuzhou City, and after the devil came, the people of Xuzhou City ran away. Next to it was the special zone of the Vanguard Army, and most of them ran there. The cannon also avoided some special buildings and residential areas, and only bombarded the various defensive points deployed by the devils according to intelligence.

In this era, when there was no threat from the air force, the giant cannon was the king of the battlefield. Examples abound of a giant cannon blocking an army's attack. In front of the giant artillery, those mountain artillery, infantry artillery and so on have become children's toys, and they can only be beaten passively.

The 13th Division stationed in Xuzhou was so depressed at this time, the air force could not compare with the vanguard army, and the land tanks could not compare with the vanguard army, a few days ago, the devil's unconvinced Douding tank squadron was beaten 8-0 by the T-34 tank of the pioneer army outside Xuzhou City. Let them attack, and they will shirk too.

Going out is just a typical abuse, not being able to penetrate other people's armor, but being blown apart by a cannon, such a battle hurts self-esteem too much.

When he heard that the commander of the 19th Artillery Wing, Yokoo Kuochusa, judged that the two huge cannons might be 30 kilometers away, Lieutenant General Ogisu, the commander of the 13th Division, immediately dispelled the idea of sending infantry over to attack and destroy. The front-line positions of the vanguard army were already difficult to break through, let alone those fronts behind.

Sneaking in the past to sabotage is even more unreliable. The five reconnaissance teams sent out by the division one after another have not heard a word so far, and there is nothing else except for a signal from one team that sends back a lot of dogs.

"We also need to guard against the vanguards, don't let them take advantage of the opportunity to rush over!" Chief of Staff Yoshihara said Osa.

"How do you guard against it?" Ogisu Libing pointed to the sky, where the two reconnaissance planes of the vanguard army were circling, and the movement of the devils could not escape their eyes, even if they used anti-aircraft artillery to drive them away, but they relied on the thick armor and did not care about the small-caliber anti-aircraft guns of the devils, and a few large-caliber guns could not catch up with their speed. In the end, they were allowed to hover overhead.

As soon as the devils were deployed, artillery fire immediately came. The two giant cannons took turns to attack, and a loud bang echoed in Xuzhou City in half a minute. It went on for more than an hour, and it still didn't stop.

During this period, I didn't see the vanguard army coming to attack, and almost all the devils were looking up to the sky, waiting for the huge cannon shells to fall. Once these cannons fall overhead, it is useless to run, the only thing is to pray that the cannonballs will fall on the top of other people's heads first.

"Their cannons won't last long, their barrels can't stand such a long bombardment. They will soon stop. "The commander of the 25th Brigade stationed in Xuzhou City, Major General Shigetoku Numata, comforted his men for humanity. But two hours have passed, and the giant cannon still hasn't hit the ground of Xuzhou City for half a minute, making the devil's heart flutter every time.

"Come on, they're stopping!" Numata Shigetoku hid inside the fortifications and looked up at the sky through the observation hole. Under the heavy artillery bombardment, the commanders of the devils and the big and small all hid in the fortifications, and after the bombing of the field, the wing commander of the 116th Wing, Qi Tian Fu Dazuo, rushed over to check, and was found by the reconnaissance plane A bunch of people immediately beckoned the bombardment of the giant artillery. A dozen people were all in pieces.

Meng Xiang had already instructed that more than five people could be bombarded with a giant cannon, and although a giant cannon shell cost 100 yuan, it was still very cost-effective compared to the life of the devil.

"Call the barrel, find the target, coordinates **, **." Qian Liyan, who was flying in the air, found that ** devil soldiers were gathered next to a building, and reported casually. The devils are all hiding, and the air is not conducive to careful reconnaissance. At this point, it is better to find this obvious goal than nothing.

"Barrel received!" A little more than a minute later, the French cannon, with its fine-tuned barrel, was aimed here. Because of the heavy barrels of the cannons, reconnaissance planes were guiding the direction, attacking area by area. Unless it is a special target, the general reconnaissance aircraft also guides nearby targets, and only needs to fine-tune the barrel.

It didn't take long for the cannonballs to fall with a whistling fire.

"Continue the bombardment, and suspicious underground fortifications are found below." After the building above was blown open, traces of underground concrete fortifications could already be seen below, and more than a dozen devils ran out of it. Qian Liyan immediately realized that this could be a worthy target.

The armor-piercing warhead of the cannon's refitting directly penetrated the one-meter-thick concrete fortifications.

"Boom!" With a loud bang that shook the whole city, a mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and the turbulence in the air made Qian Liyan almost unable to control the plane, and he staggered down for hundreds of meters before he pulled him up.

"The ammunition depot, it's an ammunition depot for the devils, and I've finally found it." Qian Liyan raised his fist excitedly.

The vanguard army had a map of Xuzhou City provided by Li Zongren and others, but the key parts of the devils were adjusted and demonstrated in order to prevent the bombing of the vanguard planes. The intelligence officers in Xuzhou City did not find the ammunition depot of the devils, and all they found were some small-scale ammunition replenishment points.

Even if the reconnaissance plane usually searched, it did not find it, because the devils were carried at night most of the time. To protect the ammunition depot, a squadron of men and horses was permanently stationed here. Although most of them are hidden, there are still quite a few people who are on guard in the vicinity. But the devil never thought that the giant cannon of the vanguard army would not let go of the ** gathered devil soldiers.

"Ahh When the soldiers heard this, they only felt a little dizzy in front of them, and there was the largest ammunition reserve of the 13th Division. Although there are three smaller ones, most of the ammunition is piled up there. To deal with the vanguard, the ammunition of the 13th division was well prepared. But at this time, it was all fireworks in the sky.

"Yes, keep bombarding." Meng Xiang soon received this information, and he smiled at Fan Chong, "Let's let the giant cannon refresh the little devil first." When the troops on the southern front are ready, they should first occupy the Longhai line east of Xuzhou according to the original plan. There is a railway, which is more convenient for our dispatch. ”

"They've already bombarded this area, it's troublesome to adjust the muzzle of such a large heavy cannon, and we're safe here." Standing high in ruins, Takumu shouted as he watched the mushroom-like smoke and dust from the roar of the cannon in the distance.

Dozens of devils came out one after another.

"Such a cannon is scary, at least more than 12 inches, right?" A ghost soldier looked at a large bomb crater not far away. The caliber of the French cannon was only 210 mm at the beginning, but due to the high muzzle velocity, the power has exceeded that of 280 mm shelling. However, Meng Xiang was still a little dissatisfied, thinking of the majority of the second middle school, this caliber was still too small.

"It's even more powerful, I've seen 12-inch naval guns." Another soldier said in a haunted voice.

"That's on the sea, it's on land, and it's naturally more powerful on land!" Another devil soldier chimed in.

"Don't make any noise, hurry up and treat the wounded and find your own team!" As the squadron leader, Takuki Kanmori commanded loudly.

The people below immediately stopped shouting, but they all stared at the sky in unison.

There was silence all around, except for a familiar screech in the sky, far and near.

"Cannon!" One of the devils in front of Takuma Ganshou looked straight at the sky with straight eyes, and screamed loudly. The surrounding devils immediately scattered and fled, and Takumu Ganmori, who was standing on a high place, had just jumped off when the air wave rolled up by the cannonballs fell to the ground and was thrown into the air again.

"It's time for them to stop, too, their barrels are dying." Numata Shigetoku loudly encouraged his subordinates.

But the sound of the artillery continued. The worst thing is that when the devils figured out the law of the bombardment of the giant artillery, the bombardment method of the giant cannon suddenly changed, and it was no longer swept according to one area at a time, but randomly fired, although the speed of the shelling slowed down, but no one knew where the next shell would fall? Maybe the next shell will fall on his head.

"They should have stopped, too, what's the matter, are they more than two cannons?" Numata Shigetoku muttered to himself in confusion. He absolutely didn't believe that the barrel could be returned so quickly, but he didn't know that the engineer next to the French cannon was constantly adjusting the self-maintenance function of the cannon, and the modular parts were constantly being transferred from the hands of the construction robot to the body of the French cannon.

There is no need to stop, and the cannon can be fired non-stop while maintaining itself under the command of the Engineer.

The giant cannon continued to roar in the fear of the devils, but at this time it was not only the devils in Xuzhou City who were bombarded.

"There were more than two hundred heavy artillery pieces on the positions of the vanguard army. Yes, it's heavy artillery! "On the phone that reported to Ogisu Libing, the voice of the 104th Wing Wing Captain Satomi Jin Er Dazuo was a little out of shape.

"Is it really heavy artillery?" Sugiyama Moto, who received the news, asked.

"The aircraft reconnaissance has been determined, it is indeed a heavy artillery bombardment, the vanguard army has arranged more than a dozen heavy artillery points, and we have lost three reconnaissance planes before we can detect this news, and the news is conclusive." Ogisu Libing didn't know that his voice was also a little abnormally hoarse.

Heavy artillery is not ordinary artillery, although some places in the country also call 75 mm field artillery heavy artillery, but in fact, those below 105 mm caliber are embarrassed to be called heavy artillery.

The more than 200 guns discharged by the vanguard army this time were all of 105 mm caliber or above, of which more than 100 were 150 mm caliber. It is no wonder that after seeing the photos on the reconnaissance plane, the soldiers of Ogisu turned a little pale.

The heavy artillery in front was constantly roaring, and the mountain artillery wing of the 13th Division had long disappeared under such artillery bombardment, and the entire front line position of the devil trembled in the roar of the king of the heavy artillery.

"The vanguard army is going to make a big move!" Sugiyama's first reaction was this thought. Two hundred heavy artillery, which is probably almost all the heavy artillery strength of the vanguard army they have learned.

All of them have been mobilized to the south, then they must have a big battle plan.

"Quick Support!"
