Chapter 1433: 1434 I hope you can understand

 A sloppy building collapsed suddenly because a 155 mm caliber howitzer smashed into the building and directly disintegrated it.

 The flying broken bricks involved everything around them. There were broken limbs, blood and corpses everywhere. The nearby building was affected and more than half of it collapsed. The wooden floors collapsed diagonally and the walls fell onto the street, hitting many passers-by.

All the glass on the distant building was instantly shattered, and the child's cries were drowned in the huge explosion. Then the sound of stones falling to the ground continued and did not stop for a long time.

In a barricade, the officer holding the phone nervously reported to his superiors what he had just seen with his own eyes. His voice was very panicked and he spoke very fast: "Yes! It's a shelling! It's a shell! It hit. A private house! Yes! It’s a private house!”

He is slightly stronger than the soldiers under his command, because he is a supplementary officer and has seen the artillery of the Tang army in Shu in the south.

He just got off the train a few days ago, and then he was appointed as the platoon leader-but he only has 14 people under his platoon leader, and he can only find solutions for the remaining 30 or so people.

Later, he did think of a way and found more than 30 "recruits", but these recruits were generally a bit older, and the youngest one was 49 years old.

The old men who had witnessed shelling for the first time were huddled next to the sandbags on the barricade and shivering. At the time of the war, their weapons were still flintlock guns. Who could have imagined that the current war would become so terrible, so terrifying...

"Boom!" About 300 meters away, another shell tore through the air, made a harsh scream and fell rapidly, directly hitting another building.

That building was not very strong. Most of it shattered when the shell exploded, and the rest collapsed.

With the collapse of that building, several flimsy earth buildings built by Qin people also collapsed around them. In an instant, smoke and dust spread everywhere and covered the entire block.

The rolling air waves could be clearly seen thousands of meters away. The people of Qin were confused. This time they did not hear the piercing air defense siren. For them, such an attack was too sudden and too sudden. It was too overwhelming.

 Zhang Xuan was in the headquarters in the east of the city, holding the phone and asking what happened. His subordinates reported to him the Tang Army's shelling, claiming that two shells had fallen into the city.

"Chengdong! Yes! It's the east of the city! There are only two artillery shells... 155mm caliber howitzers! It is predicted that the artillery position of the Tang Dynasty is at Dingfeng Slope... Do we need to fight back?" On the phone, the frontline officer asked Zhang Xuan anxiously.

 In the suburbs of Wuyang, the Qin army hid several precious 200mm heavy artillery pieces in the gaps in the buildings. This is their trump card and one of the few heavy weapons in their hands that can hit the Tang army.

The Qin army retreated and abandoned too many artillery and heavy weapons and equipment, such as large-caliber howitzers that were not easy to move, and they were all lost long ago. Fortunately, because it was inconvenient to move, some of the heavy weapons were defeated and retreated before they were transported to the front line, so they were fortunately preserved until now.

 These 200mm caliber howitzers were saved in this way. In addition, there are dozens of 155mm caliber towed howitzers, and there are also anti-aircraft guns of various calibers produced overtime...

"Save artillery shells...there is no need to fight back." Zhang Xuan knew that the heavy firepower in his hand could not match the Tang army, so he simply lay down and smashed: wait for the Tang army to really launch an attack, and then open fire to pull out a few unlucky guys on the back. This is The most cost-effective strategy he could think of.

In addition, Zhang Xuan was also thinking about another issue: why the Tang army ceased fire after only firing two shots. This makes no sense at all. If the Tang army opened fire to warn the Qin army in the city, a round of artillery bombardment seems more reasonable.

What he didn't know was that on the artillery position of the Tang Army, the commander was grabbing a radio communication device and angrily asking his superiors: "Why cease fire? Sir... I only fired two artillery shells! Yes, only two shells." Shells! What does it mean to cancel the bombardment? Yes! Execute the order!

Hooking up the intercom back to the communication device, the battalion commander looked at the officer on the side angrily: "Mission cancelled! Be careful, take out the shells... Damn it, what the **** is this?"

Just as he was complaining, in the headquarters of the Tang Army's rear, an officer wearing a Qin military uniform with a white armband wrapped around his arm, accompanied by several Tang Army guards, walked into Strauss's group army headquarters .

"The bombardment has been canceled according to your order, but the order was issued a little late. The front line said that two shells were fired..." The chief of staff introduced the situation close to the ear of Strauss who was welcoming the guests.

"It doesn't matter! This time the other party said they were here to negotiate surrender, so I can't make the decision. If they want peace talks, I don't need to pay attention to them, but if they want to surrender, I have to report the situation." Strauss laughed. He waved his hand and said to his staff officer.

"Our 3rd Group Army took the lead in arriving at Wuyang. The credit has been earned. The rest can be left to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." After he finished speaking, he saw Qin's messenger coming in and immediately changed into A formulaic smile: "Welcome."

The messenger's attitude was very low. He immediately stood up and saluted, and introduced himself: "Sir, I came to discuss surrender matters on the order of Prime Minister Ying Ke... The war is meaningless. Please kindly suspend the attack, general." Wuyang’s combat operations, Qin Guo... will definitely give Tang Guo a satisfactory result. "

"I'm waiting for the emperor's order... Kindness is the emperor's virtue. I'm just a general. Killing is my duty." Strauss gave all the credit to Emperor Tang Mo and said with a smile: "However, I have ordered to stop Attacked... Please rest assured, Mr. Messenger."

"The whole country of Qin is extremely grateful..." The messenger handed the sealed letter from his pocket and handed it to Strauss: "This is a letter to your country. Please give it to your country, General." Negotiator…”

"I will..." Strauss took the letter with one hand and handed it to the adjutant beside him: "I want to tell you some bad news... because the news of your arrival was a bit awkward when it reached me. Late... So, two shells fell into Wuyang... This was not our intention, I hope you can understand. "
