The Travelers of the Heavens

"Whoosh"Bang!" Huge air waves accompanied by screams fell on Yuncheng, and the ground shook immediately. Earth-shattering explosions and mushroom clouds appeared at the same time.

The central city of Yuncheng instantly disappeared in the high temperature generated by the explosion.

This is the"Long Claw""The appearance of the rail gun shells after they hit the targets in Shanxi does not require too many adjectives. Everyone can figure it out by themselves.

Half a month before the bombardment started, the capital sent power to the entire Republic of China many times. The Kyushu Army Targets in Shanxi will be bombed, and the people are required to leave Shanxi as soon as possible, otherwise they will bear the consequences.

However, after years of management by Yan Xishan and the Gong Communist Party, the local area has a strong mass base, and most people do not take electricity supply seriously at all.

But the Eighth Route Army They still moved all the people in their base areas into the mountains to avoid the shelling.

However, no one expected that the subsequent shelling of Zhongtiao Mountain, Niangziguan, and Datong would make the people hiding in the mountains or air-raid shelters sleep forever in their hiding places. In the early days of the war, the rail gun showed its hand in Jinling, driving away Chang Kaishen, and almost annihilating the Lunan Military District of the Eighth Route Army in the Lunan area. All units of the Eighth Route Army were very afraid of the rail gun.

But. For more than ten years, rail guns have rarely appeared in major battles, causing some soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in the base areas to relax their vigilance, especially the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi. They have not been bombed by rail guns, and since 1939 After the Battle of Lijiapo in 2008, the Kyushu Army never launched any combat operations against the Eighth Route Army. In addition, as the Jiuzhou Army and the Japs reduced their forces to North and Central China in the past few years, the Eighth Route Army developed rapidly. At this time, the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi Province There are nearly 600,000 regular troops in 17 columns. They have also occupied most areas in Shanxi, even some big cities. The sudden and violent shelling caught the Eighth Route Army troops in Shanxi by surprise. There was one Eighth Route Army army in Yuncheng and surrounding areas. The troops of the division.

Artillery shells suddenly exploded in the city center, and huge air waves swept across dozens of miles. All the nearby barracks of the Eight Route Army were overturned by the air waves, and the soldiers were also affected, causing heavy casualties.

Later, statistics More than 10,000 people in the division were killed, wounded, and missing in the shelling, reaching 5,000.

At the foot of Zhongtiao Mountain, the headquarters of the 2nd Division of the 1st Column of the Shanxi Field Army of the Eighth Route Army

"Oops, the Japs are coming again this week. Well, I, Lao Li, will wait for them to come." Li Yunlong, commander of the 2nd Division, looked at the map and wondered how to ambush the Kyushu Army in Zhongtiao Mountain.

"Old Li, the Japanese Japs are not Japanese Japs. These people have fierce firepower and strong combat effectiveness. Last year in Zhejiang and Fujian, the M country’s aircraft and warships were all driven away by them. I think they came with bad intentions this time. We can’t Take it lightly," Deputy Commander Xing said

"Back then in Lijiapo, this week the Japanese beat me and only about thirty people were left. I have been holding this breath for ten years. This time I will definitely show them how powerful I am," Li Yunlong said.

""Old Li, more than half a month ago, Zhou Guizi announced that he was going to bomb targets in Shanxi. I don't think this is right," said Zhang Feng, the official.

Zhang Feng was the leader of the Kyushu Army's suppression of universities, middle schools and primary schools in various places. A fish that slipped through the net when he was on campus, he was a student of Yan University, and later fled to Yanbao to join the Eighth Route Army. After the Lijiapo Battle, he was appointed as a member of the New Regiment, and later the New Regiment was reorganized into the 1st and 2nd Division. Zhang Feng He also changed from a league official to a division official. He and Li Yunlong have been partners for nearly ten years. Although Zhang Feng looks gentle and gentle, he is brave and good at fighting. He is very popular with Li Yunlong. The two have also had many encounters in the past. A deep friendship was formed during the battle

"Um? Lao Zhang, tell me what you think," Li Yunlong said

"I think the Japanese bombing this time will not use Japanese aircraft, but their own rail guns," Zhang Feng said

"Railgun?!"Everyone was stunned after hearing this.

"There have long been rumors that Zhou Guizi's rail guns can hit hundreds of miles, and can blow up a mountain with one shot. They sent a message to the whole country saying that they will bombard Shanxi. I am afraid they are hinting that they will use rail guns in this battle." Zhang Feng said

"Zhongtiao Mountain is such a big target. If the rumors are true, the rail guns they deployed in North China can just hit Zhongtiao Mountain." Zhang Feng pointed to some marks on the map and said

"Report, there is an urgent call from Secretary Yuno."Suddenly, a correspondent reported

""Say," Li Yunlong gestured.

"Ye Si ordered our division to evacuate Zhongtiao Mountain immediately," the correspondent said.

"Why?"Li Yunlong wondered

"Noji did not explain the reason," the correspondent said.

"Call and inquire immediately," Li Yunlong ordered

""Yes" the correspondent went to send the telegram.

At this moment,"Whoosh""

"Um? what sound?"The huge scream reached the ears of everyone in the division.

"not good! Move quickly!"Zhang Feng suddenly widened his eyes and shouted loudly for everyone to leave immediately.

"boom"Eight kilometers away, a mountain-drilling shell exploded.

Huge and powerful air waves carried all kinds of weapons and equipment, and wood and people flew everywhere.

This is when"Long Claw" begins bombing Zhongtiao Mountain.

Everyone in the 2nd Division headquarters had just moved when a huge mountain hit the original location of the division headquarters.

Li Yunlong watched in shock as his original division headquarters was destroyed by the sudden flying mountain.

""Lao Li, this should be a rail gun. What just flew over our heads is a rail gun shell," Zhang Feng said.

"ah"Heart-rending screams came from the air. It turned out that several soldiers with tattered clothes were blown nearby by the air wave and fell to the ground.

"Comrade! Comrade!"Zhang Feng saw this and ran over to check the situation.

"Comrade, which part do you belong to?" Deputy Commander Xing also stepped forward and asked, looking at the soldier whose face was covered with blood.

"5.. 5th Division"After saying that, the soldier died

"5th division? Isn't the 5th Division six kilometers away? What about him?"Li Yunlong asked

""Old Li, there's no time to say more. We must immediately assemble the troops and move as quickly as possible. Zhongtiao Mountain should be targeted by Zhou Jizi's rail gun now," Zhang Feng said while listening to the constant screams.

Li Yunlong didn't say anything else. , quickly summoned people and ordered the troops to move immediately.

Because the"Long Claw" rail gun shells were too powerful, the whole mountain of Zhongtiao Mountain was shaken and collapsed. Li Yunlong's troops encountered several landslides during the transfer. Fortunately, the casualties were not too great. Big.

But the other troops stationed on the mountain were in misery. Under the bombing of the rail guns, the 2nd Column and 5th Division lost thousands of people, and other troops also suffered heavy losses.

After five days and five nights of bombing, Zhongtiao Mountain has changed beyond recognition. The original mountain has long been lost. The entire Zhongtiao Mountain and the surrounding terrain have completely changed. The capital plans to use the"Long Claw" rail gun to bomb targets in Shanxi for one to two months. During this period, the various rail gun units participating in the war will fire continuously day and night, which is undoubtedly a huge test for the artillery and the rail guns themselves. The

Kyushu Army's rail guns have a long range and powerful shells, but they have great impact on the various components of the rail guns. The wear and tear is also very serious. Uninterrupted shelling for one or two months must ensure the normal operation of all components, especially the barrel.

Fortunately, in the past few years, the rail gun unit has not conducted high-intensity and long-term shelling. The troop storage There are enough various parts, so the rail gun unit completed the mission of bombarding Shanxi without any danger.

When the bombardment completely stopped in March 1950, when the Jiuzhou Army transferred from Xuzhou entered Shanxi, it appeared in In front of us are only ruins, rotting corpses, rusty remains of weapons and equipment, etc.

""Long Claw" almost"scratched" the entire Shanxi, leaving only patches of scorched earth.
