The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

The Red Flag Army has been hiding an artillery unit throughout the war. Although it cannot be compared with the Navy's Demon-Slaying Order heavy artillery, it is still a very powerful weapon for ordinary soldiers.

In order to make these cannons play their due role, the Red Flag Army even hid them behind the positions. If these cannons were exposed too early, they would inevitably be hit by the navy. In order to make this batch of heavy firepower play a role at the critical moment, the Red Flag Army also delegated the right to call the cannons to the troops at the front. Only after receiving clear instructions from the front line could the artillery fire.

In the series of battles on the front battlefield, the defending Red Flag Army never used this backhand. Whether it was when the navy occupied the first line of defense or at the most critical moment of the second line of defense, the commander of the Red Flag Army never chose to use the trump card hidden in the rear.

All the commanders and fighters of the Red Flag Army knew that artillery support could only be used once. After this support was used, it would be difficult to use it a second time. Because as long as the coordinates of the artillery positions were exposed, they would inevitably be hit by the navy. For the commanders on the front line, this hard-won firepower support must be used in the most cost-effective place.

When the navy finally couldn't bear the casualties of the attack and began to retreat, the commander of the Red Flag Army finally sensed the opportunity. At this time, the retreating navy was like a tired bird that had just landed. It only took a flick of the bowstring to make them completely collapse.

How could the Red Flag Army miss this good opportunity? The Navy still wanted to retreat safely, dreaming. Then, a political commissar of the Red Flag Army resolutely issued an order for artillery fire. The target happened to be the second line of defense arranged by the Red Flag Army itself, which could be regarded as having the coordinates of the attack in advance.

The Red Flag Army's artillery did not disappoint, and they had long been eager to participate in the battle. After receiving the order from the front line, the Red Flag Army's artillery also aimed at the target. Because the coordinates had been detected long ago, the preparation time from receiving the signal to firing the first shot was no more than ten minutes.

At this time, only a small number of the navy's retreating troops had completely left the battlefield. With the sound of the cannons whistling, most of the navy could only look at the incoming shells with despair.

When the first shell exploded in the crowd, the entire navy inevitably collapsed. All the marines had already tightened their nerves, and when the Red Flag Army's cannons attacked from the sky, the tightest string finally broke completely.

This was the collapse of the morale of all the navy. Even the naval officers who were still trying to maintain order on the sidelines could not help but fall into despair when they saw this scene.

At this time, someone said, "The navy has been defeated!" Then a chain reaction occurred. Chaos and disorder enveloped all the navy, and even the officers could only go with the flow in this chaos. In order to protect themselves, even they could no longer take care of all the ordinary marines.

Chaos, fighting, bloodshed, the navy at this time was no different from the pirates they despised. In fact, if the Red Flag Army was attacked at the same time, they would be able to react faster than the navy and avoid the damage of the artillery fire. In fact, the place where the navy was bombed was the second line of defense built by the Red Flag Army. If they had calmed down, it would not have caused such a big chaos.

This situation was just like the bombing of a camp in ancient times. Without the constraints of order, ordinary soldiers were no different from ordinary beasts. In the chaos, the sanity of ordinary marines was on the verge of collapse, and this final artillery attack was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Because the navy that had withdrawn from the position was not attacked at this time, the other ordinary marines began to regard escaping from the position as their last hope of survival, and everyone began to rush forward regardless of everything. Escaping from this battlefield became the only need in the hearts of all the lower-level marines at this moment.

Their rationality had already collapsed, and their instinct for survival began to take over. As the Red Flag Army's bombardment deepened, the fear of all the navy became even greater. At this time, they had already lost their most basic judgment ability.

In this case, a consequence was caused. Originally, the Red Flag Army only arranged for an artillery attack, but within a few minutes, these artillery attacks were transformed into a general attack launched by the Red Flag Army in the mouths of ordinary navy. This completely disrupted the judgment of the lower-level marines, and they even had hallucinations because their minds were already broken.

In short, no one knows who fired the first shot, but all the navy began to kill each other under the pressure of the gunfire. This was not out of their subjective judgment, but out of their instinct for survival.

According to the instinct of living things, the best way to prevent threats is to kill them in advance. At this moment, in the eyes of all the navy, they were surrounded by the Red Flag Army. Otherwise, why would the enemy's artillery fire explode in their own hinterland? After the first navy who attacked his companions appeared, the entire trend of collapse could no longer be suppressed.

Many naval soldiers did not die on the way to attack the Red Flag Army's position, but died at the hands of their fellow naval soldiers. When the chaos spread, even the naval officers were not spared. Without paying attention, several naval officers were killed by the crazy ordinary marines.

The Red Flag Army's artillery attack lasted only ten minutes, but it caused chaos in the navy, which was far more harmful to the navy than the ten minutes of artillery attack. When the Red Flag Army's artillery attack ended, far more sailors died at the hands of their colleagues than died under the artillery fire.

As for why the Red Flag Army only used the artillery support for ten minutes, it was not because they had no shells, but because the artillery position had to be moved. This was what the Red Flag Army's artillery feared the most. Once the position was exposed, the navy's counterattack could come at any time.

However, what the revolutionary party member in charge of commanding the artillery did not expect was that everything he had just done (referring to firing artillery to support the front line) had actually been seen by the top naval officials.

That's right, everything the Red Flag Army artillery did was seen by Akainu. It must be said that the artillery was well hidden, and it was not until the last artillery support that the artillery position was discovered by the Navy's advanced combat power. If the artillery was used at the beginning, it would probably have been hit by the Navy's force before this time.

At least at this moment, the artillery had successfully completed its mission. Even a strong admiral like Akainu could only watch his navy collapse, but he was powerless.

"It seems that the revolutionaries have won." After the Red Flag Army exposed itself, they finally discovered the Red Flag Army's hidden artillery unit. As proud as Akainu was, he could only accept this fact in his heart. The failure of the Demon Slayer Order was inevitable.
