Chapter 908 The Silent Disappearance of Artillery

Since the enemy is about to show up, these troops that sneak from northwest to southeast along the border of a third country to the south of the enemy do not need to expose themselves. They can wait for the enemy to launch an attack, and then take advantage of the chaos to attack the center with a black tiger ripping out the heart.

After breaking through the enemy's weakest hinterland, everything went smoothly.

If you reveal yourself too early, the enemy will definitely retreat. After all, they have already mustered up their courage and guts to launch this attack. If there is any sign of trouble, they will retreat back into their shells like a tortoise.

The main force on our side is larger than the four regiments that Gao Zhendong knew in his previous life, but compared with the enemy's 4 people, the number is still smaller.

Why use so much effort when you can just use cleverness?
Facts have proved that the work of our comrades in charge of intelligence is very effective.

On the date and time indicated in the decoded telegram, Zang San indeed launched an attack on our front-line positions to the north of them.

"Lord Dong has set up his position with his back to the river, which has put him in a dead end. This is their weakness. We must take this opportunity to destroy them by the river!" Lieutenant General Commander Zang San felt that he was able to fight again, but he never had the chance. Now the opportunity has come.

Or maybe you haven't read enough books. Any primary school student in China knows that there is a battle called "The Last Battle". Although the reasons for the Battle of the Last Battle are different, the results will not be much different.

On the morning of November 11, Zang San's artillery position made a real sound for the first and only time in the entire war.

They opened the first round of artillery fire on our abandoned front-line positions and decoy targets.

They had really risked their lives for this bombardment. Before launching the attack, they set up their positions under camouflage in the cover of night. They didn't believe that they could be discovered by the University of Tokyo.
Countless artillery shells flew from their six positions towards us.

For a moment, rocks were flying everywhere, smoke was rising, and explosions were continuous on our position, which was very lively.

However, all this was of no use, our soldiers were unharmed!
"You know what, Zang San has quite a lot of guns and the fighting is quite lively." The commander of the forward command said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter. Those fortifications are just for defense before we launch an attack. We didn't think about how long they would be used." Another person laughed.

"How's the situation with the Clairvoyant?" a staff officer asked.

At this time, many comrades were busy in several vehicles deployed near the important town that was recovered on the north bank of the river.

There was a radar on the roof of a car, but it did not rotate 360 ​​degrees. The antenna was just facing south, as if it was not working.

However, this was not the case. The radar cable was connected to another car next to it.

No rotation does not mean no work. For this mission, the main detection direction is very clear and there is no need to turn around.

"Report, a group of targets have been found." An operator reported loudly as he looked at the rapidly scrolling data on the display.

Not much time passed, probably only a few seconds.

"The enemy artillery position has been successfully located, direction XXXX, distance XXXX." The location of an enemy artillery position was determined no more than ten seconds after the shell flew into the sky.

"Report the location to the Air Force!" the team leader in the radar work vehicle ordered.

Just a little further back, a small fleet of planes from the snow-capped mountains was circling in the air.

This is an Attack-5 formation. For this mission, some of them were not carrying 4*250kg laser-guided bombs, but 2*500kg long-range pineapple bomb dispensers and 2*250kg laser-guided bombs.

This specially transported heavy bomb was not easy for the Gong-5. The power of the modified LYP-6 engine was significantly improved, but part of it was used to store oil and part of it was used to install armor. The reasonable allocation for bomb load was limited, and the normal bomb load of the Il-28 was increased from 1 ton to 1.5 tons.

When hanging 250kg laser-guided bombs, only four are hung because there are only four heavy-load hanging points.

In fact, the violent mounting mode seen in promotional materials is almost impossible to see in actual combat. For example, the Gong-5 has a maximum bomb load of more than 4 tons, but it is generally not mounted like this.

At this time, they were about 30 kilometers north of the river from the front line. Zang San had no idea that these death gods were roaming in the air behind the front line.

"Ding~~~~" At the same time, all the tactical communication terminals of Gong-5 received the coordinates of the enemy artillery positions sent by the joint land and air command.

"Peregrine 04, target No. 1 is handed over to you." Peregrine 01 commanded on the radio.

Although everyone is eager to try it out, a few planes have had enough fun in the eastern section of Weinan, and other comrades should also have a try.

"04 understands!" The weapon operator on 04 quickly entered the coordinates of the enemy artillery position into the long-range launcher and pressed the bomb release button.

A glide dispenser flew away from Peregrine 04, carrying anger and disdain, and flew towards the distant enemy.

“Ding ding~~~~”

“Ding ding~~~~” “Peregrine XX, target number 2…”

"Peregrine XX, target number 4..."

"..."

The positions of the enemy's artillery positions were constantly being sent over, and the attack aircraft formations in the air were busy but not chaotic. They assigned targets in an orderly manner and launched attacks one by one.

This is all a long story, but in reality it took less than a minute from the time we located the first enemy artillery position to the time the first bomb was dropped.

At the first enemy artillery position located, they were preparing for the third artillery attack.

Logically speaking, the number of shellings should be far more than this. You know, it has been more than 2 minutes since the first shell was fired. With the burst rate and sustained rate of fire of these guns, even if their technical and tactical capabilities are poor, they should have fired 5 to 8 shells long ago.

This is shooting at a calibrated and calculated target, not a temporary target. There is no need for calibration, just start shooting with maximum output.

But there is one interesting thing about the dirty three, that is, their entire set of tactical movements for firing are completed by jumping around the whole time, which wastes a lot of time. In our opinion, it is more show than reality.

But for the dirty three, this is a rigid need to a certain extent. One of the reasons, according to unreliable analysis, is that they have limited cultural level and cannot remember the whole process of firing artillery. Therefore, these dance-like artillery techniques and tactics are actually to deepen their muscle memory and conditioned reflexes.

Whatever the reason, the short answer is that their speed in firing artillery is a bit slow.

At this moment, Zang San Artilleryman's heart was filled with emotion and resentment. He had not heard any good news since the war began. Today, he finally had the opportunity to let Lord Dong see how powerful we are.

When our infantry launches the attack, we will let Mr. Dong know what Xu Jin Barrage is!
With this kind of emotion, the dirty artillery soldier moved quite skillfully. After all, even clay men can get angry, and even if they are practicing non-violent non-cooperative, they will still get a little carried away.

The smoke on the battlefield prevented them from noticing the two 500kg dispensers that were speeding towards them.

Even the exploding sound of the explosive bolts of the dispenser's bomb bay door was drowned out by the sparse fire of their artillery fire. For Zang San's artillery unit, the first shot was fired in an orderly manner, with thousands of cannons roaring at the same time.

But starting from the second shot, it all depends on how fast the dirty three artillerymen at each gun position dance. It's really difficult to fire a cannon and it depends on dancing talent.

Amidst the sporadic artillery fire, suddenly hundreds of pineapple steel ball bullets fell from the sky and exploded all over the enemy's artillery position.

Our artillery position detection radar is not only fast, but also very accurate in positioning. The difference between the given coordinate point and the actual coordinate point is only a few dozen meters.

Although there was some deviation in the positioning, the hundreds of ammunition scattered everywhere by the dispenser made up for it.

For a moment, the explosions from the enemy's artillery position were continuous and deafening.

The enemy's limbs and equipment flew everywhere in the smoke and fire. At first, it was the work of the pineapple bombs, but later, the noise caused by the explosion of their artillery shells was much louder than that of the pineapple bombs.

After all, they were full of anger and were ready to teach us a lesson, so Zang San's artillery positions were well prepared, with a huge amount of ammunition. However, we didn't even get a few shells on the empty positions, and most of the rest were swallowed up by their own artillery units.

As the saying goes, this is called "Ma Martin eating the butt" - eating and donating at the same time. "Ma Martin" is the common name for dragonflies in some areas of the southwest.

At this time, the artillery shells that Zang San was preparing on the battlefield were like the Citigroupmen of the 21st century. They did not necessarily respect nature, but they definitely respected spontaneous combustion.

If you dare to burn, I dare to explode!

In an instant, the enemy's artillery position was completely silenced amid fireworks, causing countless casualties.

In the eyes of the few scouts who remained on the front hill, the density of the enemy's artillery fire was visibly decreasing and becoming less and less frequent.

But for Zang San, they didn't know that their artillery positions were disappearing one by one, and they were still acting according to the plan.

At that time, Zang San's communication and command efficiency was not that high. In the 21st century, it might feel like just a matter of picking up a communication tool and shouting. But in this day and age, communication soldiers might have to rely on their own flesh and blood to get through the communication.

Let alone wireless, which doesn't work that well in mountainous areas. If we didn't have regenerative relay stations in the air and on high mountains, communications wouldn't have been smooth during this battle.

Besides, even if Zang San knew about it, the arrow has been shot and he has to shoot it. He can't let them sit back on the shit they have pooped out.

With their command and coordination capabilities, if they dared to order a halt to the attack at this time, the only result would be that some troops would retreat while others would still attack, making the situation even more chaotic.

After the scheduled bombardment time, the time for the general attack arrived. Zang San began to attack us from various positions one after another.
