The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 1590 Slaughter in the Mist!
Mandalay, the central city of Myanmar

The successive defeats have rendered the Osaka Division incapable of counterattacking.

Therefore, the "tactical guidance" of the 18th Division was put on the agenda.

However, the 18th Division refused to come to Mandalay to participate in the war, because the 6th Division had already proven one thing: fighting alongside the 4th Division, no matter who they were fighting, they would never suffer a loss!

In the command post in the city, the two division commanders were discussing the defense line.
Due to their distrust of the Osaka Division, they chose to take over the frontal defense.
In response, the Osaka Division appeared completely "compliant," immediately adopting a submissive demeanor.

After all, they never intended to hold the city, because if the 77th Brigade attacked, they would immediately flee to the neighboring city.

We've made the money, if we don't run now, are we just waiting for the 77th Brigade to come and raid our sand dunes?
Having witnessed the annihilation of the 6th Division, the Osaka Division had no desire to fight, because that would be suicide!
While the 18th Division was making urgent preparations, they were completely unaware that the city defense map had already appeared on the 77th Brigade's desk.

In the command center, Zhang Cheng looked at the map, picked up a paintbrush and sketched, "Seventh and Eighth Regiments, attack from the front. Ninth and Tenth Regiments, block the escape route. This time, we will crush the Eighteenth Division here, just like we slaughtered the Sixth Division!"

"Sir, there are too many people in the city, we..."

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Krupp's face showed a hint of reluctance.
Upon hearing his words, the others all turned to look at Zhang Cheng.
Because Mandalay is a large city, a full-scale artillery barrage would inevitably cause too many casualties, so everyone was very reluctant to do so.
With a cold gaze sweeping over everyone, Zhang Cheng picked up his pen again, drew a circle, and said, "What I want is Mandalay and the 18th Division. As for how many people die, that's not my concern. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Commander!"

Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Long Wenzhang immediately saluted.
Looking at Long Wenzhang, Zhang Lixian immediately raised his hand as well.

Krupp stared silently at Zhang Cheng, about to say something, when he was slapped on the head and told, "I'm asking you, do you understand the military orders?"

"Yes, Commander!"

With a loud roar, Krupp immediately became serious.

"Get down and get ready!"

Looking at Krupp and the others, Zhang Cheng's eyes turned ruthless.

"Crash!"

The group quickly left the command post, and Krupp couldn't help but feel a sharp pain.
Looking at Krupp's expression, Long Wenzhang said with a look of disgust, "You asked that question unnecessarily!"

"Isn't it because I'm worried about the people in the city?"

Krupp began to explain to Long Wenzhang,
"Where the hell am I? This is abroad! Are you drunk?!"

Looking at Krupp, Zhang Lixian beside him showed his disdain.
"Yeah, Commander, this is overseas, why are we asking such questions? Why don't we just bomb it!"

The other artillerymen stared wide-eyed in surprise.

"But aren't there also overseas Chinese among them?"

With his hands outstretched, Krupp began to explain.

Upon hearing Krupp's words, everyone quickly realized what was going on, because this was indeed a problem.
But just then, Ah Xing, who had run out, said, "Here, this is from the captain. This is a no-bomb zone!"

Looking at the place used for "refuge," everyone smiled knowingly.

Because the traveler still cares about his fellow countrymen, right? Look, this provides a solution, doesn't it?
A post-rain fog swept through, seemingly shrouding the world. In a hidden command post somewhere, the Osaka Division was summoning its regimental commanders.
As everyone cautiously checked the time, the division commander said sternly, "It's almost time, everyone. We should run, or I'm afraid the 77th Brigade will include us in their count!"

"That's right, Division Commander, we're ready. Let's retreat now!"

When the division commander spoke, the other regimental commanders nodded in agreement.
After all, everyone in the Osaka Division was very happy to be spared from fighting the 77th Brigade, because no one wanted to be shot down and have most of their company wiped out!

Having witnessed the destruction of the 6th Division, they certainly didn't want to become the next 6th Division!
When the Osaka Division fled without warning, the 18th Division assumed the enemy was stationed in the rear.
It wasn't until a day later, when the attack began, that the 18th Division realized they, like the 6th Division, had become merchandise on a shelf—buy one get one free!
In the artillery regiment, the Gustav Cannon was fired again.
As the towering cannons aimed into the distance, the soldiers busily began loading ammunition.

While carrying the shells, the Krieg soldiers also helped adjust the target's position.

After all, every Krieg learns artillery techniques before joining the Death Legion.
If it weren't for the lack of suicide squads at the front, Zhang Cheng would have had 500 Kriegs take full control of the Gustav cannon, because that would be the real way to hit exactly where you point it!

Feeling a throbbing sensation in his left eye, the 18th Division commander coughed and said, "This damn weather, when will it clear up!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, the fog seemed to be torn apart.
As rays of sunlight suddenly pierced the sky, the 18th Division commander's expression turned to fear, for artillery shells were tearing through the thick fog.

"Shhhhhh!"

A rapid whistling sound rang out, and the Japanese soldiers roared, "It's artillery fire! Artillery fire!"

But as they hastily hid in their fortifications, they were unaware that the power of the Gustav Cannon was enough to bring an entire village to a standstill.
"boom!"

A violent explosion rang out, and the once-sturdy fortifications were blown to pieces, killing everyone inside.

Watching the shells fall one after another, the commander of the 18th Division never expected that his "wish" would be fulfilled so quickly, but not in the way he wanted.
"Boom boom boom!"

Amidst the continuous explosions, Mandalay was instantly transformed into a sea of ​​fire.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

As the bugle sounded, soldiers surged out of their trenches and launched an attack.

Facing the Japanese troops who had lost their courage under the artillery fire, the soldiers of the 77th Brigade roared and charged forward.
Because of the deep-seated hatred, everyone knows that they absolutely cannot back down, because their compatriots in Nanjing are watching them!
Bravely advancing, the soldiers raised their submachine guns and swept them around, instantly turning the Japanese soldiers in front of them into sieves.

Blood mist continued to emanate from his body as he collapsed to the ground in despair, seemingly unable to comprehend why the ever-victorious 18th Division had been utterly annihilated by the enemy's fearless charge.
"Mortar! Mortar!"

Pointing to a building, the soldiers immediately lowered their mortars on the spot.
"Boom boom boom!"

As the building collapsed, the Japanese soldiers inside were all trapped underneath before they could escape.
Looking at the ruins before them, the soldiers who stepped forward pulled out grenades and threw them into the cracks.

Because the commander said that no one should be allowed to leave alive.

Only when there was no defense at their rear did the 18th Division realize they had been betrayed.
Sitting in his office in disbelief, the commander of the 18th Division broke out in a cold sweat and exclaimed, "It's over, it's completely over! We've become the 6th Division!"

But just as he was shouting in despair, the members of the Osaka Division, upon seeing the message from HSBC, burst into wild laughter.

Because they really made a killing this time!

However, on the very night HSBC transferred the money, a group of ruthless robbers broke in and ransacked the underground vault.
