The city wall at the northwest foot of Gongxian was directly destroyed by the terrifying force of the exploding shells from the armory, collapsing approximately 300 meters.
Even the sturdy bunker wasn't spared, after all, this armory stored more than 4 shells.
When Gongxian finally calmed down again, there were no more buildings taller than 1 meter within a 1-kilometer radius of the armory.
The large warehouse that was originally the location of the armory is gone, replaced by a giant pit that is more than 20 meters deep and 150 meters wide.
The massive explosion in Gongxian County drew the attention of the Kuomintang troops defending Yangshi, dozens of kilometers away, as well as the Japanese soldiers besieging Yangshi.
General Komura, the Japanese frontline commander, watched the massive explosion behind him. The towering flames even illuminated the battlefield in Yang City for a moment.
All the soldiers on both sides on the battlefield felt the ground beneath their feet tremble slightly.
Staring in the direction from which the explosion had come, Gangcun's face darkened.
As if something had occurred to him, he quickly pushed aside the adjutant blocking his way and ran to the sand table in the middle.
After repeatedly comparing the sand table with the location where the explosion occurred, it seemed as if something was confirmed: such a violent explosion could only have been detonated there.
Thinking of this, Hougang Village angrily knocked over a steaming water cup placed next to the sand table, and the boiling water instantly spilled onto the adjutant beside him.
The adjutant's face immediately turned red from being scalded by the boiling water.
This cup of water was boiled a minute ago, and it was the water cup he had just used when he arrived at Jingang Village.
I never expected that it would all end up on me.
Seeing Gangcun fly into a rage, the adjutant dared not do anything and could only suppress his anger.
"Suspend the entire offensive and immediately send a telegram to confirm whether the armory in Gongxian has been bombed."
With a sliver of hope, Gangcun quickly gave the order to his adjutant, whose face was flushed red.
"Hi."
The adjutant immediately responded and was about to leave.
"and many more,"
The adjutant immediately turned around, bowing as if to listen attentively.
"If you can't get in touch by telegram, go there in person, confirm the cause of the explosion, and come back immediately to report."
"Hi."
The Blue Party did something similar, sending people to investigate where the explosion occurred behind Japanese lines and whether it was a Japanese arms depot.
The battle situation was constantly changing, and they had to seize any opportunity that might change the course of the war to deal a heavy blow to these Japanese devils.
Meanwhile, Bai Luo, after bombing the Gongxian arsenal, slipped away to the vicinity of the Jinhe River, which can be described as a very quick escape.
Bai Luo found a small grove of trees, set up a camouflage net, and then opened the system settlement page.
"Battle over. The host has killed 3735 Japanese soldiers, including one major general, two colonels, four lieutenant colonels, and nine majors. The host has earned 57221 points and has achieved 15000 kills, 16000 kills, 17000 kills, and 18000 kills."
“合并奖励。150舰炮发射平台两座和50000积分,舰炮每分钟射速30/60/120发可调,备弹500发。口径150毫米,射程50公里。”
"Host has achieved 15000 kills. System upgrade, enemy kill points doubled. Personal space expanded to 50000 m?0?6 as a reward."
Bai Luo was stunned by the reward. He never expected the system to reward him with this. This was not like the Japanese ships that relied on simultaneous firing of their cannons, but rather the cannons of a large destroyer in later generations, whose firepower was equivalent to that of a heavy artillery battalion.
There's a saying that goes like this: Land-based artillery on ships is a last resort, while naval artillery on shore is a matter of deceit.
Just as Bai Luo was muttering to himself, Gangcun also received an urgent telegram from his adjutant.
As expected, the Gongxian arsenal was bombed, and nearly half of the Japanese soldiers left to guard Gongxian were lost, with the brigade commander Fujiwara Hitoshi dying a violent death.
When Gangcun received the news, although he had expected it, he was still furious. It was a shame that that old bastard Fujiwara had assured him that everything would be foolproof.
Now, Gangcun wants to skin him alive.
But everyone has turned to ashes, and Gangcun can't find anyone to vent his anger on or take the blame for anymore.
After venting his anger at the command post, Gangcun's initial rage was gradually suppressed by reason. He could only temporarily retreat to Gongxian, since his division's ammunition supply depended entirely on Gongxian.
Now that logistics have been cut off, the entire division has become a toothless tiger.
Thinking of this, Gangcun had no choice but to order everyone to retreat to Gongxian.
We'll make plans after we get supplies from elsewhere.
The Blue Party also received news that the Japanese rear ammunition depot had been bombed, and excited laughter erupted from the Yang City command post.
They originally thought that with the Japanese army assembling such a large force, it would definitely be a tough battle.
Unexpectedly, the Japanese division retreated on the second day due to insufficient ammunition.
In order to expand their gains, the commander of the Blue Party troops in Yangshi decided to launch a counter-offensive while the Japanese were short of ammunition and take the opportunity to recapture the county.
Just as the Blue Party was excitedly studying how to attack Gongxian, news reached the command post that the Japanese heavy armored forces were approaching Gongxian.
Steel Village reported this matter to the rear headquarters. When the headquarters received Steel Village's report, they felt a familiar formula coming right out of their skin.
When Gangcun finally saw the telegram from headquarters, the letter contained no words of reprimand for him, Gangcun. Instead, it instructed him to send reconnaissance aircraft to conduct round-the-clock surveillance of a 50-kilometer radius around the base.
The search for a mysterious heavy artillery unit began during a perplexing moment in Steel Village.
The second telegram arrived; it was the written report that Haishi had previously sent to headquarters.
Finally, they specially arranged for members of Haishi's Special Task Force to come to Gongxian County with the clues and photos collected by Haishi to give a report to Gangcun.
They are expected to arrive in two days. Headquarters has instructed Okamura to eliminate this heavy artillery unit at all costs, even if it means postponing the attack on Yang City.
After carefully reading the telegram, Gangcun pondered for a long time. The telegram revealed the importance that the General Headquarters attached to this mysterious heavy artillery unit.
He had heard a little about what happened in Haishi. Prince Asaka was assassinated in Haishi, and his head was photographed and sent to the Blue Party.
However, Steel Village didn't know much about the specifics at the time, as he was busy preparing for the battle against Yang City.
However, they later received a cryptic order from headquarters to carry out a revenge plan after the capture of Yangcheng.
The thought that this heavy artillery unit, which once wreaked havoc in Haishi, might now be heading towards Yangshi is terrifying.
There's no need to even think about it; they're definitely coming for them.
This heavy artillery unit was very likely secretly formed by the Blue Party.
Upon arriving at the steel village, he immediately summoned all the Japanese officers and deployed a search mission for the mysterious heavy artillery unit.
At the same time, he also ordered his troops to quickly repair the city walls and reinforce the fortifications of their own garrison to prevent a surprise attack from this highly mobile heavy artillery unit.
At the same time, the generators were used to take off the newly arrived fighter jets in Zhengzhou in shifts to conduct 24-hour continuous searches of the entire war zone. Reconnaissance aircraft were also urgently dispatched from other places to a newly built small airfield in the southeast of Gongxian County.
It must be said that Gangcun was quite obedient to advice this time.
