In an instant, artillery fire roared and the entire battlefield was engulfed in flames.

The shells exploded among the enemy, and the enemy's screams and explosions filled the entire battlefield.

Chief of Staff Wang and three brigade commanders stood at the window of the command post, watching everything through binoculars.

There were relieved smiles on their faces. This was an operation they had planned carefully, and they knew that this time they had finally made the enemy suffer.

"Little guys, you guys also have a taste of what it feels like to be bombed!" Chief of Staff Wang shouted, his voice full of ambition and passion.

The first round of shelling was just to calibrate the coordinates, so it wasn't very intense.

But after observing the enemy positions, the scouts on the front line immediately gave specific coordinate parameters.

As the second round of shelling began, the salvos of large-caliber artillery turned the entire battlefield into a sea of ​​fire.

The killing range of the 155mm howitzer is 50 meters, and the killing range of the 105mm howitzer is 30 meters.

After the first bombardment, the common people were stunned.

They had never expected to be attacked so violently.

Nagashima reacted quickly.

He shouted to the soldiers around him: "Baga, damn the security division, damn the North China Army. We are under attack, why are you still standing there, fight back quickly."

"Immediately notify the consulate in Peking and the garrison in Tianjin, we need support." Nagashima's voice was filled with panic and fear.

He knew that they were facing a powerful opponent and if they didn't act quickly, they might be wiped out.

However, the counterattack of the little guys encountered problems.

They didn't know where to attack because they couldn't see the enemy at all.

It was just artillery fire at the moment, and the infantry was still in the rear, so they couldn't see anyone.

The little guys could only fight back blindly, but they couldn't hit the target.

Under such circumstances, the common people fell into despair.

They knew that they could not find a target to attack and could only wait for death to come.

However, at this time, they did not realize that their artillery was only the 75mm Type 155 infantry gun, which could not reach the enemy's mm howitzer.

More intense artillery fire came, and 105mm howitzers also joined in, bombarding everywhere within a range of up to 5 kilometers.

The staff officer ran to Nagashima in a panic and reported to him in a panic: "Report to the brigade commander, our radio station, our radio station can't send telegrams, it's all broken."

When Changdao heard the news, his face was filled with shock. His mind went blank for a moment, and then he let out a shrill roar: "Damn it, how is it possible? Are all radio stations like this?"

The staff officers all looked pale. They had tried everything, but to no avail.

The radio was an important tool for them to communicate with the outside world, but now it has lost its function, which has put them in great trouble.

Nagashima tried to calm himself down, he knew he couldn't lose his composure now.

He looked at the staff officers around him, and their eyes also revealed panic and helplessness.

He sighed and said helplessly: "Then notify everyone to avoid the shelling. We can only take action after it stops."

The staff officers immediately got busy, and they conveyed the news to every soldier through gestures and shouting.

Soldiers who were living on a daily basis sought shelter in the hope of surviving the bombardment.

Changdao sat aside, praying silently in his heart.

He hoped the enemy didn't have much artillery ammunition so they could get through. He knew it was a gamble, but he had no other choice.

As time went by, the bombardment became more and more frequent. Nagashima became more and more nervous. He didn't know how many more bombardments the enemy would launch, nor did he know whether they could survive this catastrophe.

Finally, ten minutes later, the shelling stopped.

A glimmer of hope surged in Nagashima's heart. It seemed that he had made the right bet.

But the next moment, his hopes were dashed as the shells fell again, this time as hard as the last time.

It turned out that this was the way the three battalions of the Security Division attacked separately. Just now it was the attack of the First Artillery Battalion, and now it was the attack of the Second Artillery Battalion.

Changdao felt a sense of despair. They were completely suppressed by the enemy. Their artillery could not reach the Security Division and they could only passively take the beating.

He didn't know what to do and could only hope that the enemy's ammunition would run out as soon as possible.

But he also knew that this was just a luxury and the enemy would not give up the attack easily.

In the following period, Nagashima and his staff could only wait helplessly.

They listened to the sound of artillery shells exploding and watched the soldiers around them fall down one after another, their hearts filled with pain and helplessness.

They knew that the battle was doomed to fail, but they could not change the outcome.

Suddenly his staff officers were hit by shells and fell in a pool of blood.

Changdao was not killed by the explosion because he was held down by several people, but he was injured.

As soon as the officers and soldiers of the 1st Artillery Battalion stopped firing, they checked the wear of the gun barrels and carried out cooling operations on the gun barrels.

They quickly counted the remaining ammunition and were relieved to find that they could still fire three rounds.

The logistics personnel in charge of ammunition are already preparing to transport the shells to the artillery position again, but they can only be transported after the second round of strikes is completed.

The security division used the electronic warfare system for the first time and launched a radio attack on the surrounding ten kilometers. This move threw the intelligence personnel into chaos.

They were unable to send telegrams or contact the outside world, which made them feel unprecedented fear and despair.

The security guards have already planned the next course of action. They don’t need to report it and can just act according to the plan.

Because radio attacks also affect them, messages can only be transmitted in a small range.

In this process, investigators played a crucial role.

They used modern radio products that had a certain degree of anti-interference ability and were able to send simple messages.

Although telegrams were restricted, voices were not.

The artillery camp's shelling caused a huge sensation, and the surrounding residents heard the sound of cannons and explosions.

They were shocked and terrified, but they didn't know whether it was a fight between Xiao Ri and the North China Army or the Security Division.

Peking was in chaos, and the people were all running home, preparing their valuables and ready to flee at any time.

Mayor Qin issued a notice that the entire city was in a state of emergency, and people were not allowed to go out unless necessary. Security divisions and the North China Army would be jointly responsible for maintaining public security on the streets.

Zhao Yun has already told Qin Ming the details over the phone and hopes they don't have to worry too much.

Mayor Qin dispatched a battalion and a regiment of the security division in Peiping to jointly control public security in Peiping.

Supervisors from various countries heard the sound of artillery fire before they returned to Peking. The noise was so loud that it frightened them all.

The shelling, which had stopped for less than three minutes, began again, which confirmed one thing for them: the troops who had been enjoying the day could not go back.

They looked at Captain Wang who was leading the team, hoping that he could tell them what was going on.

"Everyone, just tell us the truth when you get back. Our commander Zhao is in Peking. You can go find him if you have any questions."

"I am only responsible for bringing you back safely."

Supervisors from various countries walked towards their respective consulates helplessly.
