You are ordered to support the War of Resistance against Japan; China enters Level 1 combat readines

"Drone number one is in position!"

"Drone number two is in position!"

"Drone number three is in position!"

……

The steel torrent stopped ten miles away from the Japanese trench positions.

Ten miles is a distance that is completely invisible to the naked eye, but for drones, this distance is very close.

Most importantly, it was right within the firing range of the 107mm rocket.

Inside the temporary command post, several screens lit up simultaneously, transmitting high-definition real-time images.

The operator's fingers flew across the keyboard as drones hovered in the air like silent eagles, overlooking the Japanese positions below.

On the screen, the Japanese defense line was clearly visible.

The trench, which the Japanese boasted was a "tank killer," lay across the plain like an ugly scar.

In front of and behind the gully, there were positions of all sizes, including machine gun positions, mortar positions, anti-tank gun bunkers, and caves where the Japanese daredevils, on whom they had placed their hopes, hid.

"Japanese position spotted, coordinates XXX, number of soldiers: a small squad, approximately 15 soldiers."

"Anti-tank gun position discovered, coordinates XXX, number two platoons, approximately 30 men, equipped with two 37mm anti-tank guns."

"Japanese observation post spotted, coordinates XXX, quantity 4."

"Discover……"

One coordinate after another was transmitted, and new red dots were continuously marked on the screen.

Forty 107mm rocket launchers were pulled off the tractor and quickly put into combat readiness.

The gunners quickly set the target parameters based on the returned coordinates.

Unlike in the past, this time they did not choose to fire 12 rounds at once, but instead loaded them precisely according to the size of the target.

"Target number one, quantity 1, 3 rounds loaded!"

"Target number 2, quantity: three holes, 5 rounds loaded!"

"Target number 3, quantity four, 1 round loaded!"

"Target number 5..."

Commands echoed incessantly, each number signifying impending destruction.

Meanwhile, the Japanese soldiers ten miles away were completely unaware of this.

……

Trench positions.

The sun has risen, and it's making people feel warm and cozy.

In a machine gun nest, several Japanese soldiers were sitting idly.

One of the young Japanese soldiers leaned against a sandbag, gazing in the direction of Jinan with envy in his eyes.

"Hey, do you guys think people in town have started drinking now?"

The old Japanese soldier next to him glanced at him and scoffed, "Drink my ass! The victory celebration won't be until tonight; right now, we're just preparing."

"That's still better than me being here," the young Japanese soldier muttered. "Guarding this lousy pit, I can't even see a ghost."

Another Japanese soldier with a mole on his face chimed in, "Exactly! Why should they be drinking, eating, and sleeping with beautiful women in the city, while we have to stay here feeding mosquitoes?"

The old Japanese man lit a cigarette and slowly took a puff.

"What do you know? This is an important mission. The commander has entrusted us with the most crucial line of defense; that's a sign of trust!"

"Come on," the young Japanese soldier muttered under his breath, "If they really trusted us, why didn't they send the officials to guard this place?"

The old Japanese soldier glared at him but didn't say anything.

Actually, he was also unhappy.

Those guys in the city are probably washing themselves clean right now, waiting to drink heavily tonight, while he's lying here, not even a woman in sight.

The Japanese soldier with the mole suddenly lowered his voice and chuckled lewdly: "Hey, I heard it was quite lively in the west of the city last night. A few brothers sneaked into the city early and found some pretty girls..."

The young Japanese soldier's eyes lit up: "Really? How about it?"

The Japanese soldier with the mole licked his lips: "What else can we say? She's incredibly beautiful! The louder she cries, the more excited the brothers get..."

Several Japanese soldiers laughed, their laughter filled with lewdness.

The old Japanese soldier exhaled a smoke ring and said slowly, "Don't rush, after this battle is over, we'll enter the city, and then..."

He was stunned before he could finish speaking.

A sharp sound came from afar.

The sound was strange, like something was tearing through the air, getting closer and closer.

"What? What's that sound?" The young Japanese soldier looked up at the sky in confusion.

The Japanese soldier with the mole also looked up.

The sky was blue, and there was nothing there.

But the voice grew closer and sharper, as if it were piercing straight into one's brain.

Suddenly, the old Japanese man's expression changed instantly.

He suddenly stood up, his eyes wide open, and his lips began to tremble.

That sound...

He recognized that voice!

Just a few months ago, during the battle for He County!

Just when they thought victory was assured, that sound suddenly came from the sky, and then—

Then everything around exploded!

Those shells weren't fired from the front; they fell from the sky!

Moreover, smoke comes out of their rear ends!

That old Japanese soldier was lucky to escape death, but he would never forget that scene for the rest of his life!

The old Japanese man's face instantly lost all color.

"Baka! Enemy attack!!"

He roared out with all his might.

But it was too late.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Three 107mm rockets accurately struck the machine gun position.

The first shot exploded in the center of the crowd, sending shrapnel flying. Several Japanese soldiers were torn to pieces before they could even react.

The second shot hit the Type 92 heavy machine gun squarely, twisting the steel and sending parts flying.

The third shot landed at the entrance, sending the Japanese soldiers who were trying to escape flying.

After the flash of fire, the machine gun position had completely disappeared.

Instead, there was a charred crater still smoking, and scattered fragments of unrecognizable shape all around.

……

On another front, the same scene is unfolding.

Five Japanese soldiers were playing cards next to an anti-tank gun, complaining about being assigned to this godforsaken place.

"I'll play one..."

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Five rockets rained down from the sky, and the entire anti-tank gun position was instantly engulfed in flames.

The 37mm anti-tank gun, on which the Japanese had placed high hopes, along with its gunner, flew into the sky.

……

Inside the observation post, four Japanese soldiers were using binoculars to observe the area ahead.

"Nothing's happening..."

boom!

A rocket hit its target precisely, completely obliterating the small observation post made of sandbags.

……

In the suicide squad's hiding place, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were sleeping, hoping to live as long as possible.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three rockets penetrated the makeshift roof and exploded in the confined space.

The scream lasted only a second before silence fell.

……

Explosions were happening everywhere along the entire trench defense line.

Those observation posts that the Japanese considered "absolutely reliable," the anti-tank guns on which they placed high hopes, and the suicide squads that they had carefully trained, were all turned into mincemeat in an instant under the cover of 107mm rockets.
