Others show their swords, I show my missiles!

The bombardment of the city needs to destroy the enemy's defenses while minimizing the harm to innocent civilians.

However, on the city walls, the situation was different.

Here, there is only a fortress defended by the Yellow Shoe Army, and it is obvious that no ordinary people live there.

As a result, the artillery fire was no longer reserved. It was like the wrath sent down from heaven, pouring down unscrupulously and with unstoppable force.

The roar of the 155mm howitzers was deafening, and its huge warheads drew deadly tracks in the air. This was followed by continuous bombardment from 120mm mortars and howitzers, which covered every inch of the city wall with a denser firepower network.

Although the 60mm mortar has a small caliber, it can search for any fish that have escaped the net with its flexible and changeable shooting angles.

In the sky, missiles and rockets cut through the air with sharp whistles, like messengers of death, accurately hitting the target.

It is worth mentioning that if Shenquan’s large-caliber rocket launcher had not been temporarily withdrawn to eliminate the Japanese who escaped in advance, the intensity of the bombardment would have been even greater, and its power would have been enough to make anyone who witnessed it feel awe.

Nanle City, this once solid fortress, now seems like a tiny existence shaken by the power of nature.

Under the artillery fire, dust was flying, covering the sky and the sun. The whole city seemed to be shrouded in a thick layer of smoke. Visibility was extremely low and the air was filled with pungent smell of gunpowder and burning.

The Yellow Shoe Army soldiers instantly lost their hearing in this sudden and fierce artillery fire.

Their faces were filled with fear and despair. They opened their mouths wide and tried to shout, but could only make silent roars.

All around them were the equally terrified expressions of their comrades, and the wide-open eyes of those soldiers who had luckily survived, as if they were silently telling of the cruelty and ruthlessness of this war.

Every soldier in the Yellow Shoe Army was thinking: "Damn, am I in Nanle? I can't be in Jinan! Is it necessary to use so many shells for such a small city? Don't your shells cost money?"

Many Yellow Shoes soldiers, dragging their mutilated bodies, fell into deep regret: "Why didn't we listen to the Yellow Shoes soldiers who escaped yesterday? That's why we encountered such a disaster!"

If they had listened to the advice of others, even if they did not flee Nanle, as long as they did not stay inside the city walls or outside the city, including in those seemingly solid fortifications, the casualties would not have been so great!

In just twenty minutes, the Nanle city wall was reduced to nothing in the endless artillery fire. The once majestic city wall is now only a ruin, with rubble piled up like a mountain, like an abandoned garbage dump on a construction site, telling the vicissitudes and sadness of war.

"Stop the shelling! Everyone rush to harvest the corn!"

After half an hour of shelling, Li Yunlong gave the order to charge.

The Yellow Shoe Army had long been frightened by our army's heavy artillery. This artillery fire was even more terrifying than what the Yellow Shoe Army who had escaped back had described!

They firmly believed that no army in the world could withstand such fierce artillery fire.

It is a blessing from God that I was able to save my life.

Therefore, our army encountered almost no resistance during the charge. If any enemy dared to shoot, they would be responded with hundreds of bullets.

"Run! The artillery fire has stopped!" The Yellow Shoes Army hiding in the cracks of the houses were like frightened birds. Once they found the opportunity, they fled in all directions regardless of everything, wishing their parents had given them two more legs.

Our army has limited manpower and is unable to form a tight encirclement, otherwise the Japanese army would not be able to escape.

In addition, our army intends to win a quick victory in this action, and Nanle is just a stop on the journey.

So, more than 5,000 yellow-shoe soldiers cunningly took off their iconic yellow shoes, mixed in with the people, and quietly slipped out of the encirclement carefully arranged by our army.

The remaining 20,000 or so people either turned to dust or fell to the ground with serious injuries, and their wailing sounds were extremely mournful.

But in just one hour, the red flag was flying high again on the top of Nanle City, announcing the victory of our army.

Zhao Gang looked at the densely packed captives in front of him, his brows furrowed, his eyes full of disgust and helplessness.

"These people are aiding and abetting the tyrant and causing the people to harbor resentment towards us. They are truly a disgrace to our army!" He thought to himself, thinking about how to deal with these scums.

"Old Li, what do you think of these prisoners?" Zhao Gang turned and asked Li Yunlong beside him.

"Hey, what else can I do? Kill them all!" Li Yunlong pretended to be relaxed, with a playful smile on his lips.

"Nonsense! Who do you think we are? The God of Killing Bai Qi? Although most of these people are not innocent, it would be too much of a sin to kill them all! The people will stay away from us in the future."

Zhao Gang refuted harshly, his tone full of unquestionable firmness.

No matter how much Zhao Gang "colluded with" Li Yunlong, he was still a man of principles.

"Haha, it's just a joke. In my opinion, we should pick out those who have committed the most heinous crimes, such as those who have killed civilians, helped the Japanese to kill civilians, and bullied women, and hold them for public trial and punishment to set things right. As for the rest, let them go. However, they are all injured. For the health of the Yellow Shoe Army, it is better to hand them over to the care of the people. As for how the people take care of them, it depends on whether they have a harmonious relationship with the people. Whether they live or die depends on their luck." Li Yunlong restrained his smile and proposed a compromise plan.

Zhao Gang was silent for a moment after hearing this, feeling mixed emotions.

"Given what they did to the people, and their serious injuries and lack of medical care, it would be better if they were not handed over to the people. Once they were dealt with by the people, I'm afraid they would not be able to escape death. But..." He sighed, "This is their retribution. If they can repent soon, perhaps they can get a glimmer of hope from the people."

Finally, Zhao Gang struggled internally and nodded reluctantly, agreeing to Li Yunlong's proposal. "Well, good and evil will be rewarded in the end. Whether they live or die, it's all the karma they sowed. Let's do as you say."

Later, after a round of natural elimination, only less than a thousand of these yellow shoe soldiers survived.

The Japanese soldiers who fled first were not able to escape safely. They forgot or simply didn't know that there were many pairs of eyes watching them in the sky.

That was the drone that Mr. Li Yunlong had modified late at night.

These drones are not enlarged versions of unmanned bombers, but smaller versions of unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.

It only has reconnaissance capabilities and cannot carry missiles. If it fights with enemy aircraft, its only weapon is its own body, which means crashing into them!

However, due to its smaller size and lighter weight, it is more concealed, more flexible, and can stay in the air longer. Moreover, the success rate of hitting enemy aircraft is higher.

Therefore, no matter how the Japs hid, there would always be rockets that would accurately fall upon them, tearing these beasts into pieces and ending their sinful lives.

After half of the Japanese soldiers were crushed, the remaining Japanese soldiers scattered and fled for their lives. In the end, only more than 300 Japanese soldiers escaped to Liaocheng.

Seeing how fierce our army's firepower was, the people in Nanle City gained a certain degree of confidence in our army, but they still did not dare to act rashly.

Our army does not care about this. Even if the people show enthusiasm, our army dare not accept it.

Because our army has no intention of staying here permanently, the enthusiastic people revealing their true feelings may lead to disaster, which is something our army absolutely does not want to see.
