The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

As early as when the first wave of the Navy's landing force was suppressed, Akainu realized that it was difficult to fight with only the first wave of troops. So he immediately organized a second wave of landing troops, and even if the battle was too stalemate, he would personally take action.

As expected, the navy's offensive failed. The defeated navy happened to encounter the second wave of reinforcements. Seeing the number of marines retreating rapidly, the reinforcements began to worry.

The two naval officers who had withdrawn from the front also explained to the naval officers who were reinforcing what was happening on the front line. "The enemy has used a new type of weapon with a very fast firing rate. Our army has no advantage at all on the front battlefield. I suggest that sufficient support from naval guns is needed. Otherwise, it will be difficult to attack."

The reinforcement officers were naturally not stubborn, and they decided to listen carefully to the advice of the commanders on the front line. Therefore, the message requesting artillery reinforcement was quickly passed back to the warship. According to the description of the soldiers on the front line, this time the firepower support had to reach the level of the Demon Slayer Order.

The so-called Demon Slayer Order level is a saturation artillery attack on a warship. This cannot be used casually. You have to know that the life of a warship's gun barrel cannot allow it to fire continuously, and the warship also carries a certain amount of artillery shells. For general artillery attacks, it is good enough to exert one-third of the warship's total firepower.

Only when the navy has a complete advantage and the enemy has nowhere to escape, and there is no need to worry, will the warship launch a full saturation fire attack. Speaking of which, this kind of firepower has not been used many times even against pirates. In the cases where the navy used the firepower of the Demon Slayer Order, most of them were actually used on ordinary people.

Whether it was to suppress non-member states, to help member states suppress internal uprisings, or simply to erase history, the Navy's strongest firepower was actually used on the people it was supposed to protect. This has to be said to be another kind of irony.

After receiving the news that the front line requested reinforcements, Akainu did not hesitate. At his command, all the gun positions of the five warships were activated, and this time all the artillery fire was aimed at the earth wall that looked very fragile.

As for why Akainu didn't send reinforcements directly, he was still waiting for the enemy's high-level combat power to be exposed. In addition, Akainu was the highest commander in this operation, so it was not easy for him to leave his command post without permission. Of course, if the front line could not hold on, he would still take action. But if that happened, it would be equivalent to giving the initiative of the war to the other side.

Maybe you want to ask, what about Aokiji? The reason why he didn't take action is also very simple. Exposing his combat power is secondary. The main reason is that Aokiji's fruit ability is too special. The natural ice fruit has a great effect on the sea. In a situation full of sea water, the ice fruit restrains all fancy tricks.

Aokiji has been guarding the warship to ensure the navy's bottom line. With him, the navy can't lose much. The most important thing is that with the ability of the ice fruit, at least the navy warships can retreat at any time. After all, as long as you freeze the sea, you can make the enemy warships unable to catch up.

The two vice admirals were thinking ahead, and the navy's artillery was about to prepare for calibration. This time, unlike the first round of artillery fire, not only was the firepower stronger, but there were also precise coordinates observed by the navy soldiers at the front line.

When everything was ready, the bombardment began. The soldiers operating the cannons believed that under such firepower, no one could withstand this powerful offensive unless they were users of the Nature Fruit ability or had the strength of a lieutenant general or above.

"Fire!" With the officer's order, shells were fired from the guns of the warships towards the Red Flag Army's defense line. The intensive bombardment instantly enveloped the entire concrete fortification. The fierce artillery fire blew up the dust, and even the soldiers hiding in the bunkers were not feeling well.

"Open your mouth wide. Although the enemy's artillery shells cannot hit us directly, the shock waves generated by its explosion still pose a great threat to everyone. By then, it will not be as simple as tinnitus, it may even cause deafness." The old soldier who had been hit by artillery shells shared his experience.

What followed was the whistling of gunfire. Even though the navy's cannons were not very advanced, the damage caused by their huge caliber was considerable.

As the veterans expected, the huge impact of the artillery continued to permeate the interior of the bunker. As the explosions became more and more frequent, many soldiers developed tinnitus. There was no other way, this was the difference in firepower, and the Red Flag Army could only passively take the beating in the bunker.

While the navy cannons were loading shells, the Red Flag Army soldiers in the bunkers finally had time to sigh, "This is too powerful. If only we had such good cannons, we wouldn't have to be afraid of the navy's warships."

In fact, the revolutionaries also deployed artillery at O'Hara. Unfortunately, these artillery could not be used easily. With weak firepower, once the artillery deployed by the revolutionaries was exposed, it was possible for the navy to attack the artillery positions. Therefore, Marx and Engels also made up their minds to use artillery support only in the most critical moments.

Then, the navy's cannons reloaded their ammunition and started a new round of bombing. Of course, this was not the last round of reloading. With the navy firing at full power, this process would continue for a while until the ammunition depot was completely emptied. This was considered firepower support at the level of the Demon Slayer Order.

The landing navy also watched this grand artillery support from the sea. That's right, in order to prevent being accidentally injured by the artillery, the navy that had just landed had left the island again. They took a boat to the sea surface a certain distance away from the island, waiting for the end of the artillery support.

After a while, after this period of bombing, the gun barrel began to get hot. With the last shell fired, the gun barrel finally got a rest. "Report to the Admiral, the artillery support mission has been completed." The officer in charge of the gun position came to Akainu and reported.

Akainu said nothing, but pointed his finger at the sky, and as his finger suddenly expanded, a stream of magma shot up into the sky. After reaching a certain height, the magma suddenly dispersed and exploded.

"The order has come. It seems that the artillery fire is about to end. Marines, cheer up and prepare to land." Seeing the signal, the officers also prepared to land and fight again. With such powerful firepower support, they vowed to break the enemy's defense line this time. And when they arrived on the island, they finally saw the truth of the bunker this time.

Because of the long bombardment, the camouflage originally made on the bunker has been completely destroyed. What is exposed to the eyes of the navy is no longer the small earthen slope, but a dark, bumpy and cold city wall.

Although the wall was uneven due to the fierce bombardment, it was obviously not penetrated. This scene also made the naval officers who were about to attack feel uneasy. How could they know? This is a one-meter thick defensive concrete. With the current technology, the naval heavy artillery cannot penetrate it at all.

"The enemy has just experienced a fierce artillery attack and is now definitely on the verge of collapse. Marines, don't forget that Vice Admiral Akainu is watching us from behind. This time, we must take down the enemy's defense line." The naval officer hurriedly encouraged the marines whose morale was dropping again.

"Attack." Following the commander's words, the entire navy began to attack. And Akainu, just as the officer said, was watching from behind. After seeing that the fierce artillery fire could not cause decisive damage to the bunker, Akainu finally considered whether he should be the first to enter the battlefield.

"If the army is unable to break through, I will be the only one who can turn the tide." Akainu was already prepared in his heart to turn the tide.
