Chapter 238 Artillery Battle
A low and dull roar came from the distance, like the roar of an ancient beast, foreshadowing that the fatal blow of the Japanese heavy artillery was about to come.
The sound approached rapidly and the air began to tremble, as if even the earth was shaking.
Immediately afterwards, a series of deafening explosions cut through the sky, and artillery fire poured down like a rainstorm, enveloping the entire position in a sea of fire and smoke.
The shells cut through the air at astonishing speed, heading straight for our army's bunkers with destructive power.
The fall of each shell was accompanied by an earth-shaking shock. Dust and debris were thrown into the air by the huge shock wave, forming gray mushroom clouds.
The outer walls of the bunker shook violently under the bombardment, but thanks to their thick reinforced concrete structure, they stubbornly withstood most of the impact, leaving only mottled bullet marks and occasional flying debris as traces of the battle.
The second round of artillery bombardment from the Japanese invaders swept in like a raging storm, far more ferocious than the previous one, as if it would completely swallow up the land.
The sky was glowing red from the endless artillery fire, and every roar was accompanied by a violent tremor on the ground, as if the whole world was shaking.
In the midst of chaos and destruction, an advanced unmanned sniper unit, which was supposed to be a secret killer on the battlefield, has now become an innocent victim.
It lurks quietly on the circular shelter, like a cheetah ready to strike, ready to give the enemy a fatal blow at the critical moment.
However, fate played a cruel joke on it - a shell from a Japanese heavy artillery landed squarely on the core of the bunker, instantly blasting it into pieces and turning it into a pile of lifeless metal parts.
This scene made Zhao Gang, who was watching the battle on the side, feel heartbroken.
Today's unmanned sniper units are cleverly designed and are retractable: they are usually hidden in bunkers and can be quickly extended in wartime to strike the enemy by surprise.
Such protective measures should be extremely strict and sufficient to deal with most battlefield threats.
However, under such intensive artillery fire, even such protection seemed so fragile, which shows the density of the Japanese artillery bombardment.
"Political Commissar, the Japanese are coming. Shall we fight them?"
The gunfire stopped, and some of the Japanese soldiers and the Yellow Shoe Army came up.
The tense atmosphere on the battlefield grew more intense as night fell, but Zhao Gang's eyes were like the brightest stars in the night sky, calm and determined.
Facing the soldiers' urgent inquiries, he slowly shifted his eyes from staring at the display screen of the unmanned sniper unit's aiming system, and analyzed in a steady tone: "This is a tentative attack by the enemy, we must not act rashly. Let the comrades from the county brigade and the district squad go first, there is no need to save ammunition, we are a material transfer station here, with abundant ammunition reserves, and we have at least 80 million bullets of various types, if not 100 million!"
After hearing this, the soldiers from the county brigade and district squad took quick action. Following Zhao Gang's instructions, they picked up their weapons and launched round after round of suppressive fire on the oncoming enemies.
Although their shooting skills are a little rusty, their advantage is the high firepower density. The assault rifles and light machine guns are basically fired in bursts, and single shots are rarely used.
Zhao Gang stood aside, silently observing the changes in the situation on the battlefield. He had already figured out everything in his mind.
He knew very well that showing weakness to the enemy at this time was to give the enemy a fatal blow at the critical moment.
Therefore, he deliberately hid the two heavy firepower weapons, the 107 rocket launcher and the unmanned sniper unit, waiting for the enemy to reveal a flaw.
As time went on, the Japanese's tentative attacks gradually lost their edge.
They found that although our army's heavy firepower had not yet appeared, the solid bunkers and sufficient ammunition made it difficult for them to advance. As a result, the two sides fell into a stalemate, and this situation was exactly what Zhao Gang expected.
Inside the Japanese command post, a staff officer was looking at the battle map with a frown on his face.
It carefully analyzed every detail on the battlefield and ultimately came to a conclusion that was very different from the actual situation of our army: "The PLA lacks heavy firepower and the combat quality of its soldiers is not good. But they have an unusually sufficient amount of ammunition."
Upon hearing this, the commander of the regiment sneered, "This is an arsenal, so they naturally have plenty of ammunition. And the bunker is so strong that it is far from being easily destroyed by our recoilless guns.
However, all this will be a thing of the past.
Notify the artillery to bomb again. This time, you don't have to evacuate after using up all the shells on the position. The enemy has no artillery, so you can bombard without worry.
Leave behind a batch of heavy artillery shells, and after the enemy's firing points are exposed, clear out the enemy's bunkers.
After the bombardment, four regiments of the Yellow Shoe Army launched an attack, one of which made a feint attack from the east, south and west; and three regiments launched the main attack from the north.
The attack must be resolute and the continuity of the attack must be maintained! My great plaster locust army will supervise the battle from behind, and those who shrink back will die!"
Following the order from the regiment commander, the Japanese artillery fire roared again, and shells fell on our positions like raindrops.
During the Japanese's third bombardment, there was no major relocation of artillery positions. In order to facilitate command, the originally scattered artillery was concentrated.
At the same time, our army's radar operators were staring at the screen, their fingers jumping rapidly on the keyboard, quickly calculating the exact location of the Japanese heavy artillery position.
The cunning Japs chose a distance that was not at the maximum range but was large enough to pose a threat - about ten kilometers, as the position for their Long-legged Cat cannon.
Although the maximum range of this cannon can exceed 20 kilometers, its accuracy will be greatly reduced if it is fired at the maximum range.
Not only the Japanese artillery is like this, but our army's artillery is also like this.
However, they never expected that this distance was just within the attack range of our army's improved version of the 107 rocket launcher. Although the accuracy will be affected, the rocket launcher is a surface-killing weapon, and these deviations are acceptable.
After two rounds of artillery fire, our army did not retaliate, which made the Japanese believe that our army did not have long-range heavy artillery.
So the long-legged cat cannons no longer hid, but concentrated themselves and bombarded our positions indiscriminately.
However, just when the Japanese thought they had secured victory, our army's logistics support troops quietly took action.
These soldiers are all versatile and know a little bit about the operation of various weapons and equipment. Moreover, the 107 rocket launcher is known for its simplicity and ease of use, which makes the soldiers of the logistics support troops feel no unfamiliarity with the operation of this gun.
As the Japanese artillery bombardment stopped, two heavy alloy doors slowly opened in silence, revealing ten pickup trucks ready to go.
They lined up in a row, like cheetahs ready to pounce, aiming at the Japanese heavy artillery positions in the distance.
It is not the pickup trucks that are taking aim; it is the 48-tube 107mm rocket launchers they carry that are actually taking aim.
The number of tubes of these rocket launchers can be freely combined according to needs, ranging from 6 to 96 tubes, and can even be fired from a single tube.
What is even more amazing is that even without a barrel, a rocket can be fired directly. This flexible and changeable feature makes the 107 rocket launcher shine on the battlefield.
After the order was given, 480 rockets took off into the air in just three minutes. They cut through the sky like angry flames, and headed straight for the Japanese heavy artillery positions with a shrill whistle.
When these rockets hit the enemy's position hard, the entire battlefield shook.
In the past, the Japanese would only leave a few shells next to the heavy artillery, and then quickly evacuate after firing, waiting for our army's retaliation.
But this time, because they believed that our army did not have long-range heavy artillery, they relaxed their vigilance. Not only did their personnel not evacuate, but a large number of artillery shells and supplies were also piled up on the positions.
With the continuous explosion of rockets, the Japanese heavy artillery position instantly turned into a sea of fire.
The sound of gunfire, explosions, and screams intertwined to form a tragic scene. Then, many shells exploded.
The Japanese heavy artillery positions were wiped out by our army, and both the people and the artillery were completely destroyed. No intact corpses could be found, whether it was the artillery or the Japanese!
After the rockets were launched, ten pickup trucks quickly drove back to the underground position to restock ammunition, preparing to deal a fatal blow to the Japanese at the right time.
The alloy door closed again.
