You were tasked with guarding the Sihang Warehouse, and you brought out a Tiger tank?

Inside the Huangshan Fort, Colonel Wei Zhen, the fort's commander, was feeling quite pleased with himself as he looked down at the traitors below who had been blown to pieces.

As a result, his subordinate ran in, his face covered in soot, and cried out:

"Sir, we're out of ammunition."

The 88mm gun has run out of shells.

The remaining few old cannons had faulty fuses and couldn't be fired.

"What?!"

Wei Zhen swayed and almost fell.

At this critical juncture, not having ammunition would be fatal, wouldn't it?

"Sir, the Japanese... oh no, those traitors are charging up again, they're less than 1,500 meters from the position."

Just then, the observation post reported.

Wei Zhen gritted his teeth, a resolute glint in his eyes.

"Pass down the order."

Everyone, fix bayonets and prepare for hand-to-hand combat.

Also...go and blow up those two 150mm heavy guns for me.

"Sir!"

The adjutant beside him grew anxious.

Those two Rheinmetall 150mm K18 cannons, with a range of 24 kilometers, were undoubtedly the king of artillery in the Great Xia Army, with the longest range in the entire army.

"We barely managed to save it..."

"Protect my ass!"

Wei Zhen stomped his feet in anger, pointed at the two massive cannons outside that had been dismantled and lay on the ground like dead pigs, and cursed loudly:

"It's all the fault of those office bastards in Jinling."

One moment they say Jiang Yin can't hold out, and that the structure should be dismantled and sent back to Jinling;

A little while later, the Provisional 8th Army arrived, held the position, and then said they wouldn't send anyone away and would hold their ground.

Now that it's an isolated city, they've ordered it to be demolished and relocated.

This cannon weighs 18 tons, with the barrel alone being over 6 meters long. Including the 360-degree circular base, the total weight exceeds 24 tons.

"The roads are blocked, and the boats are gone. How am I supposed to deliver them?! Carry them by risking my life?!"

Wei Zhen's heart bled as he looked at the two giant cannons that hadn't been moved yet and couldn't be moved now.

These are treasures; each one is priceless.

But now, the only option is to blow it up.

"Fry it, it has to be fried."

We absolutely cannot leave it to the Japanese.

"If the Japanese take it and use it to attack Nanjing, that would be our fault."

Just as the artillerymen, with tears in their eyes, were preparing to stuff explosive charges into the gun barrels...

"Wait!"

A loud, clear shout rang out.

Wei Zhen turned around and saw Lin Feng leading a group of fully armed soldiers, striding towards him.

"Commander Lin? What brings you here?" Wei Zhen asked in surprise.

Lin Feng glanced at the two giant cannons lying on the ground, his eyes instantly glued to them as if he had seen beautiful legs in black stockings.

But he immediately said seriously:

"Colonel Wei, what's this? You're going to blow up the cannons just because you're out of shells? That's a wasteful thing to do."

"Commander Lin, I didn't want to either..." Wei Zhen smiled bitterly, "but the enemy has already come up, we're out of ammunition, we can't hold out."

"Who says it can't be held?"

Lin Feng brought his troops to Huangshan Fortress this time, and immediately began to deceive them again: "I'll cover the rear, you guys go first."

Wei Zhen's eyes lit up. The lieutenant general had helped him cover his retreat; this was an immense favor.

But then his expression darkened again: "But... our superiors ordered us to break through to the west..."

"west?"

Lin Feng sneered and pointed to the west:

"That area is full of the Japanese main force divisions, tens of thousands of men."

The brothers under your command are all naval and fortress artillerymen; those are technical branches of the military.

Are you suggesting they take rifles and go out into the wilderness to fight the Japanese with bayonets? To break through the Japanese blockade?

That's not breaking out, that's suicide!

Wei Zhen fell silent.

How could he not know this?

But military orders are absolute...

"Colonel Wei, listen to my advice."

Lin Feng stepped forward and stared into his eyes:

"Follow me to Jiangbei."

I have boats at the dock, enough to transport you all there.

Once we reach Jiangbei, we'll still have a chance to fight the Japanese and preserve the seed of this river defense force.

"Do you want to die meaninglessly with your brothers on the breakout route, or do you want to stay alive and fight the Japanese again later?"

Wei Zhen looked at the young faces around him, his heart filled with intense struggle.

Finally, he sighed deeply and saluted Lin Feng:

"Commander Lin, you are right."

I have to be responsible for my men.

We'll go with you!

"That's right." Lin Feng patted him on the shoulder.

"But... these two cannons..." Wei Zhen was still reluctant, yet had no choice but to give them up. "Commander Lin, we're withdrawing. These cannons..."

"Leave it to me."

Lin Feng patted his chest and guaranteed:

"I have professional engineers."

You guys evacuate first and go to the dock to board the ship.

I stayed behind to cover the rear.

Then……"

He made an explosion gesture:

"I will blow them to smithereens and leave not a single screw for the Japanese devils."

"Alright, Commander Lin, then I'll leave it to you."

Wei Zhen was moved to tears. After repeatedly instructing that the cannons must be destroyed, he led his officers and soldiers to quickly evacuate the fort.

Watching the departing figures of the river defense troops, Lin Feng's serious expression instantly turned into ecstatic joy.

"Hehe, Lao Wei, you're an honest man."

"What a waste to fry them! I'll take good care of them for you."

Immediately afterwards, he led a portion of the guard company and the artillery regiment to a prepared position behind the fort, which had a wide field of vision and a solid foundation.

"Come out, babies!"

With a wave of Lin Feng's hand.

Several massive concrete bases, along with steel behemoths atop them, appeared out of thin air on the battlefield.

Those were the two 240mm Krupp fortress guns and three 150mm SK L/45 naval guns that he had "borrowed" from the Wushan Fort.

In addition, there were the few remaining imported naval SK C/30 88mm dual-purpose guns at Huangshan Fort.

A terrifying super artillery barrage was formed in an instant.

Then, as hundreds of exchange points were deducted, Lin Feng continuously materialized boxes of brand-new matching shells.

Behind Lin Feng, the system artillerymen he brought quickly stepped forward to operate the cannons.

At a distance of only a few kilometers, these cannons can basically fire directly at any target; they can hit exactly where they aim.

Lin Feng looked down at the traitors cheering and jumping for joy, thinking they had gotten a good deal, and smiled cruelly.

"Did you think the guns had fallen silent?"

"I'm changing my magazine."

"Come on, let me show you what the roar of truth is like! This time, let's shoot our fill."

-----

at the foot of the mountain.

Li Chunshan was brandishing his Mauser pistol, his face flushed with excitement.

"Brothers, charge!"

The gun emplacement fell silent; they had fled.

The first one to charge forward will be rewarded with five hundred silver dollars and promoted one rank.

Upon hearing this, the traitors of the Jing'an Army immediately perked up.

Now that there's no more artillery fire, what's there to be afraid of?

"Charge! Take Jiangyin City, rob it of its money and its women!"

More than two thousand people, like a pack of wild dogs in heat, surged noisily toward the mountaintop.

The Japanese brigade commander behind him, Naojiro Amaya, also showed a satisfied smile:

"Yoshi, the Chinese are indeed at their last gasp."

The artillery was ordered to extend their fire to cover the Jing'an Army's capture of the fort.

However, just when these traitors and Japanese devils thought victory was in their grasp...

Sudden.

The earth trembled violently.

A heart-pounding low-frequency vibration traveled from the soles of my feet straight to the top of my head.

Li Chunshan subconsciously raised his head.

Suddenly, a huge, dark red cloud of smoke rose from the gun emplacement on the mountaintop.

Immediately afterwards, a roar that seemed to come from an ancient behemoth shattered the air.

"Thump—!!!"
