No matter how hard Tiyachenko and Etolin wanted to break their heads, they would never have expected that war would break out in this way. Without the encouragement of soldiers before the war, without the programmatic war letters, and without the assembly of large corps, the war began in a round of artillery shooting.

The two artillery positions were shooting alternately to prepare for battle, boxes of shells were pried open, the arms of the loading hands were already numb, and the gunner's voice was already hoarse.

"Artillery Regiment... Loading... Launching! Continue loading... Launch... Extended shooting, elevation angle plus five... Launch, launch, launch..."

"The Second Artillery Regiment, aim at the Amur Gulf, shoot at the enemy's warships... Listen to my command and shoot in intensive shooting! Launch..."

The rumbling sound of cannons deafened countless people's ears, and all the anger accumulated over the winter was released at this moment.

This is the largest artillery bombardment in human history, and it is an inhumane bombardment that has never been seen in the history of European artillery. I am afraid that the god of artillery Napoleon will be reborn, and he must be amazed at the density of such firepower coverage.

19 At the end of the world, the artillery battles always shot four or five rounds, seven or eight rounds, and then they rushed up by infantry. Even in the most critical decisive battle in the Pakatan Harapan War, the artillery's firepower coverage was only an hour.

Today, Master Long created a miracle. He wanted to use 120 artillery pieces to pour 60,000 shells in 24 hours, and the target area was just a simple half-wood fortress.

There must be 2,500 shells blooming over the enemy's heads every hour. The quality of artillery in this era is far inferior to that of the 21st century. If the barrel is fired three or four times, it must rest to cool the barrel. Moreover, the artillery does not have the technology of retreating, and everything depends on the retreat.

The frequency of this kind of artillery firing requires frequent adjustment of the angle of the artillery frame, and vibration will reduce the accuracy of the artillery.

No one has ever dared to use artillery like this. Even Xiao Letian would not dare to try so boldly. Only Long Ye, who was born as a great hero in Green Forest, has such domineering aura.

"The war is morale at the end! It's like a duel between experts, and we can't weaken our momentum from the beginning! Because they dare not think about it and cannot think of it, we have to do this even more..."

"Bah... you Rakshasa ghosts are crazy, then I will be crazy a hundred times, a thousand times more than you! Keep shooting, don't stop!"

The crazy shelling made the Russian army in Vladivostok completely dumbfounded. The soldiers hiding in the corner thought that after three or four rounds of volleys, the enemy's infantry would rush up, but unexpectedly, there was a deafening sound of cannons behind them that made their eardrums hurt.

After ten rounds of artillery attacks, some commanders thought the enemy should charge, but they just pulled the soldiers out of the bunker and went up to the wall of the village. As a result, there were several more rounds of volleys behind them, and the explosion of fire swallowed countless lives.

After twenty rounds of volleys, the Chinese should have calmed down. As a result, Etolin had just ordered the sailors to prepare for support. As soon as he got up to the two companies, he heard another roar in the distance, and the explosion of fire suddenly dispersed the two companies' forces.

It collapsed. The shelling lasted for just four hours, and countless Russian soldiers collapsed. They covered their ears and screamed, "God! Are these Chinese people finished? Is there any end to it?"

"Cowards! I have the kind of rushing up and we fight for bayonets...Cowards..."

The answer was not the roar of rushing with a bayonet, but the continuous sound of cannons, and another round of volleys covered him. The company commander in the cover rushed out and threw the crazy soldier to the ground, dragging him back with a beating and scolding.

"Idiot! Bastard! Do you want to die? Are you going out to seek death?" the officer cursed.

But the soldier could no longer hear him, and blood oozed out of his ears and his eardrums were broken.

"Counterattack! Counterattack immediately! Where is Etolin... Now it depends on your navy's artillery. Only your cannons can suppress the enemy. You must reduce the pressure on the army..." Tyachenko roared and ordered in the cover.

The messenger walked through the city in the fire of artillery. When he came to the bay to pass the orders to the naval commander, he was firmly rejected by Etolin.

The grief-in-armed messenger ran back from the gap in artillery fire. As soon as he entered the command center, he shouted, "Report to General! General Aitolin rejected your order, he refused to fire..."

"What? Are you an idiot? I am the commander-in-chief of the Far East War Zone. How dare he disobey my orders?"

"Report to the general, Aitolin said that the naval artillery shell reserves are limited. If they are fired at this moment, when the enemy infantry assaults, we will have no artillery shells!"

"What's more, if we choose to fight against the enemy's artillery positions, then the naval ships have to adjust their positions. We can blow them up, and they can blow up the navy too! This kind of bombing is a disadvantage..."

"Bastard!" Tiyachenko rushed up and shot his left and right and slapped him twice. "I don't want to listen to his explanation, what I want is to execute orders! If the Navy does not fire, I will shoot him!"

Tyachenko grabbed the messenger's clothes and said sadly, "You tell Etolin that now is not the time to consider the number of shells. The Chinese people's intentions are very clear. They just want to use long cannon shooting to crush our last morale! If the army's last morale is gone, how many waves of attacks can we withstand the enemy?"

"Now is not a question of how to win and how to defend it. Now the most important thing for us is to delay time... We have to delay time for the reinforcements of cavalry from Central Asia!"

Blood flowed from the corner of the messenger's mouth, and he took a step back and saluted, "Yes, General!" After saying that, he turned his head and rushed into the smoke of gunpowder all over the city.

The lonely figure walked through the fire. After he brought the commander's original words to Etolin, the commander-in-chief of the Navy was silent. The messenger suddenly took out the pistol from his waist and pointed it at Etolin's head while the person was unprepared.

"I'm sorry, General! I can go to the military court to eat guns when I commit crimes, but I think General Tyachchenko is right... On the land in the Far East, it is impossible for us to win with more than 10,000 troops. We can only delay time now and wait for the arrival of the Central Asian Cavalry Regiment..."

"As long as we wait until the cavalry crosses the Amur River, even if we all die in battle, we will be considered to have completed our mission! Please, fight back, for your Majesty's sake! For God's sake!"

The naval officers around him pointed the pistol at the messenger, and Etolin's heart was shocked. He reached out to hold the barrel of the gun that was pressing his forehead and gently put it down.

"Brave soldier, go back and give orders to the general. The Navy is willing to shoot all the last shells..."

"Thank you, General! Thank you, General!" The messenger turned his head and continued to run back, but this time his good luck came to an end. Just in the sight of the navy officers and soldiers, a shell hit him, and the explosion of air swepts swallowed the soldier, and his corpse was gone.
