Blood-Red Front

At 5:30, the sun slowly rose from the east.

By this time, the priesthood had been busy for several hours.

"Is the Divine Fire Flying Crow ready?" Fang Xun arrived at the launch site.

"The hoisting is complete, and the coordinates have been set."

Following Mu Ya's gaze, three strange aircraft, each 10 meters long and with four cylinders on their rear, were seen mounted on a special glider.

On the front of the three divine fire crows, there are also a series of sacrificial items such as pig's head, roast chicken, incense and candles.

It was obvious that Muya had already completed the sacrificial ceremony.

Fang Xun nodded as he looked at the three Divine Fire Crows that were ready.

"The General Staff has officially approved the strike request. Prepare to fire."

"it is good."

Mu Ya picked up the small flag and waved it a few times toward the command post.

An alarm immediately sounded at the launch site, and personnel began to clear the area and evacuate.

"Launch preparation!"

"Countdown!"

"5!"

"4!"

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"ignition!"

The four cylinders behind the Divine Fire Flying Crow suddenly spewed out flames, and then began to accelerate its gliding motion.

From ignition to gliding and then to takeoff, it only took a dozen seconds for the Divine Fire Crow to fly out of the priests' sight.

……

At this time, Lin Zhiyuan, who had been unable to obtain any definite information, was restless inside the headquarters of the 6th Regiment.

Looking at the sun rising again on the horizon, Lin Zhiyuan sighed.

"It's dawn now, and the truck in the ditch can't be kept a secret any longer."

"Ugh, bureaucracy is a curse..."

The reason is simple: the shrine maiden has disappeared.

This is an extremely serious accident!

If the guns and cannons engraved with chrysanthemums are the Queen's property, then the priestess is the servant of the Rising Sun God.

Losing the priestess is worse than losing one's head; Isis cursed into the phone for a good ten minutes.

"Commander, judging from all the signs, it seems that Priestess Eri has been kidnapped by the enemy," Iwamura said.

"I just don't know if the enemy has already fled or is still lurking among us."

"Tell the military police to find the witch even if they have to dig three feet into the ground!" Ishi shouted, slamming his fist on the table.

"The 101st Cavalry Battalion also immediately rushed to the 23rd Regiment's area to conduct a comprehensive search!"

"Yes, sir!" The staff officer next to him immediately went to relay the order.

Seeing the enraged Ishimasa, Iwamura reminded him, "Division Commander, there's something I must remind you of. Because we need to contact the artillery, Priestess Eri is carrying a universal codebook and a radio imported from Yusa."

"Report to the Binxi General Headquarters, requesting a change in communication codes. In addition, the General Staff should formulate a deployment adjustment plan as quickly as possible to prevent the various units from being shelled by the enemy."

"Division commander, and heavy artillery units as well," Iwamura added.

"According to the latest report, the 12th and 15th Independent Field Heavy Artillery Regiments have completed their ammunition replenishment and are now moving forward."

Isi waved his hand, "Just send them a message to remind them; they won't be able to get into the battlefield anytime soon."

初升军重炮12和15联队各装备了24门96式150毫米榴弹炮，这种炮重达4.1吨，如果加上牵引车，整体重量将超过10吨。

Ordinary bridges and highways can hardly withstand a weight of 10 tons, and in a place like Binxi with its crisscrossing waterways, they are very difficult to move.

"Should the command post be moved?" Iwamura asked again.

"No need. Kawaguchi is very far from the enemy's position. The Xia army's artillery cannot reach here. With absolute air superiority, we will not be bombed."

"Division Commander, it's best to be careful. I've heard that Xia Jun has a long-range strike weapon."

"At the beginning of the war, the Marine Corps headquarters in the concession relied on its defenses to hold off the Xia army's attack, but they were attacked by an overwhelming force. The three-story concrete building was directly blown up, which led to the death of three thousand Marines."

"Long-range attack? What kind of attack method?" Isi was quite curious.

"The exact details are unclear, but it is said that it was accompanied by a loud 'buzzing' sound."

"A buzzing sound? What kind of weapon makes that sound?"

"I don't know." Iwamura pointed outside the command post. "I think the sound might be from outside..."

Before he could finish speaking, Iwamura and Isai's expressions changed drastically.

"Enemy attack!"

Iwamura rushed towards Ishi.

While Iwamura was still in the air, the Divine Fire Crow crashed down like a meteorite.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

A huge mushroom cloud rose from Wangjiazhai.

Each Divine Fire Flying Crow carried 800 kilograms of explosives, equivalent to 200 150mm grenades.

The shockwave from the explosion of 2.4 tons of explosives was terrifying. Wangjiazhai, where the 101st Division was located, was instantly razed to the ground as if swept by a hurricane.

The destructive effect of broken bricks and wood under the impact of high-speed shock waves is no less than that of metal shrapnel; some fragments even flew a kilometer away.

Almost none of the hundreds of people in the 101st Division command survived; even those who weren't directly torn apart by the shockwave suffered internal organ rupture due to the shockwave's overpressure.

When the rescuers arrived, all they saw was a pile of ruins.
