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

"Buzzing—!!!"

The Jericho trumpet mounted under the wing emitted a shrill sound.

To Xu Fei and the others, the sound was extremely pleasant, like celestial music.

But for the Japanese soldiers hiding in the village, this was a death warrant from the Grim Reaper.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

One after another, 250-kilogram aerial bombs were dropped with extreme precision into the Japanese positions.

The earth trembled violently, and towering pillars of fire, mixed with broken bricks, tiles, and the severed limbs of Japanese soldiers, were thrown high into the air.

Those few extremely well-hidden heavy machine gun bunkers were like paper in the face of heavy aerial bombs, instantly uprooted and completely flattened.

"Well done!" Xu Fei excitedly punched the sandbag.

After dropping its bombs, the Stuka quickly pulled up its nose and flew away.

But the Japanese devils' nightmare had only just begun.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

Behind them, dozens of mountain guns from the 107th Division's artillery regiment began an extremely fierce barrage of fire.

Dense artillery shells rained down on Lijia Village like hail, instantly engulfing the entire village in a terrifying inferno.

The shelling stopped shortly afterward.

"bugler."

"Blow the bugle!"

"Drip drip drip drip— drip drip drip—"

A loud and inspiring bugle call suddenly rang out across the muddy plain.

"Brothers, follow me and kill the Japanese devils!"

Xu Fei leaped out of the trench, wading through the mud and water, and charged ahead towards the smoke-filled Li Family Village.

"Kill them—!"

Hundreds of fully armed infantrymen, carrying submachine guns and rifles, flooded the village entrance like a torrent.

-----

The scene in the village was extremely tragic.

Everywhere there were burning houses and huge bomb craters, and the air was thick with the nauseating smell of roasted meat.

Xu Fei, along with a few brothers, carefully carried their guns and quickly weaved through the ruins.

"Company commander, look over there."

The platoon leader suddenly pointed to a ruin on the edge of the village and shouted in a low voice.

Xu Fei followed the direction and immediately gasped.

There lay the wreckage of an extremely large cannon.

It was the Japanese Type 96 150mm heavy howitzer that caused them huge casualties yesterday.

It was clear that an aerial bomb had struck the vicinity of this heavy artillery.

The surrounding muddy ground was covered with pieces of Japanese artilleryman's flesh, shattered into fragments by high-yield aerial bombs; not even a complete corpse could be pieced together.

One of the heavy artillery's massive steel wheels had been blasted into a tree branch more than ten meters away.

The other one, though still hanging on the gun mount, had already broken into several pieces.

Xu Fei mustered his courage and stepped forward to examine it carefully.

"Damn, this is a treasure!"

Xu Fei's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but swear.

He discovered that although the cannon's traveling mechanism and breechblock were damaged, the extremely thick barrel had miraculously remained intact.

"Company commander, what's the use of this piece of junk?" a young soldier next to him asked, puzzled.

"You don't know anything."

Xu Fei slapped the young soldier's helmet and said excitedly:

"This is a 150mm heavy cannon; there are only a handful in the entire Great Xia."

If the cannon barrel isn't damaged, it's very valuable.

If things go wrong, we might be able to take it back to our base in Jiawang, and our mechanics at the arsenal could fix it.

If we hand this over, the higher-ups will definitely give us a huge commendation.

Just as Xu Fei was figuring out how to get this big guy back...

"Company commander! Company commander!"

A messenger, hunched over and trudging through the mud, came running up, panting, to report to the commander:

"The second row encountered trouble in the landlord's courtyard in the center of the village."

There were dozens of die-hard Japanese soldiers inside, who occupied the extremely sturdy courtyard walls and stubbornly resisted.

The second platoon charged twice, wounding several brothers, but they were all suppressed by machine gun fire.

"Damn it, he still dares to bite people even when he's about to die."

Xu Fei's eyes turned cold, and he immediately picked up his submachine gun: "Let's go take a look."

A few minutes later, Xu Fei led his team to the outskirts of the landlord's compound.

The walls surrounding this compound are made entirely of extremely thick blue bricks, and are more than two meters high.

The Japanese soldiers had drilled several firing holes in the wall, and two Type 96 machine guns were spitting fire arrogantly, blocking the street in front.

"Company commander, we can't charge head-on, the casualties will be too high," the second platoon leader said through gritted teeth.

"Who said we were going to force it?"

Xu Fei sneered and turned to look at an engineering squad that had just arrived to provide support.

"Soldiers, it's up to you now."

"Company Commander Xu, don't worry. The regimental commander sent us here specifically to burn these bastards."

The sapper squad leader grinned and patted the extremely heavy metal canister he was carrying on his back.

It was a German-made Model 35 flamethrower.

With Lin Feng's previous training and the lessons taught in the military's small classroom, Xu Fei quickly devised an offensive strategy and immediately deployed tactics:

"Second Platoon Leader, lead the men to set up ladders and go up to the roof of the building in the courtyard next door."

Set up our Czech-made light machine guns, take them up high, and keep a close watch on the courtyard.

Engineers, sneak in from the side and spray fire into the yard.

"Forcing these beasts to come out of their bunkers."

"yes!"

The tactics were extremely clear and the execution was extremely efficient.

The second platoon leader, along with several machine gunners, nimbly climbed onto the roof of a nearby farmhouse.

With a "click," the tripod of the Czech-made light machine gun was firmly placed on the roof tiles, and the muzzle was aimed at the interior of the landlord's courtyard.

On the ground, several sappers, under the cover of rifle fire, risked their lives by clinging to the base of the wall and getting within ten meters.

"Try Grandpa's barbecue feast!"

The sapper squad leader suddenly pulled the trigger of the jet engine.

"call--!!!"

An extremely thick, dark red fire dragon with a temperature of over a thousand degrees Celsius roared out of its nozzle in an instant.

The napalm was extremely viscous and poured into the Japanese soldiers' bunkers through the firing ports.

"ah--!!!"

An extremely shrill, inhuman scream suddenly came from behind the courtyard wall.

Several Japanese soldiers, their bodies ablaze, tumbled and crawled out of their bunker like fireballs, writhing in agony on the ground in the courtyard.

The remaining Japanese soldiers were also forced to flee in panic by the extremely high temperature and thick smoke, and ran into the empty courtyard.

"beat."

On the roof, the second platoon leader's eyes widened, and he suddenly pulled the trigger.

"Da da da da da—!"

The Czech light machine gun let out an extremely cheerful roar.

As the saying goes, "A high-level player hits a low-level player, and a fool hits a idiot."

The overwhelming firepower suppressed the area, with dense bullets raining down on the courtyard.

Those Japanese soldiers who fled in panic didn't even see where the enemy was before they fell in rows in pools of blood, like wheat that had been cut down.

Within minutes, the landlord's courtyard fell completely silent.

All that remained was the crackling sound of the flames and a ground littered with charred, still-twitching Japanese corpses.
