Others show their swords, I show my missiles!

Faced with the defeat of the Yellow Shoe Army, the regiment commander did not show the slightest anger or blame. Instead, he personally comforted these exhausted soldiers with an almost gentle attitude.

Its figure shuttled among the wounded, and it personally supervised the medical team to bandage the wounds of every injured Yellow Shoe Army soldier. Its meticulous care moved everyone present.

At the same time, it also ordered the registration of the names of the fallen and revealed its willingness to provide pensions. This promise was like a spring breeze that blew away the haze in the hearts of the Yellow Shoe Army.

The soldiers of the Yellow Shoe Army were surprised and grateful for such treatment.

The rest of the people were arranged to eat and rest, and even the guard tasks were left to the devils.

The Yellow Shoes Army was deeply moved. It was as if they had their money stolen by bandits and half of it returned to them!

One of the reasons, of course, is that they will have to rely on the Yellow Shoe Army to work for the Japanese in the future; but the most important reason is that the Japanese have received strong reinforcements: the Air Force of Omanrek!

12 F-48 bombers and Aiffeitian fighters are about to launch an attack on the material transfer station in two batches.

The retreating Yellow Shoe Army could not sleep peacefully all night; they still needed to continue digging trenches during the bombing.

In the eyes of the Japanese, even if there were still people alive in the liberated areas ahead after the bombing, they would not have the energy to launch anti-tank missiles at the time of the bombing.

The same is true.

Bombs are different from shells.

The charge of a 155mm artillery shell is approximately 6 to 10 kilograms; a small aerial bomb has a charge of several dozen kilograms; and a large charge is measured in tons.

Any bunker or pillbox would be reduced to ruins if hit by one of these giants!

Zhao Gang on this side saw that the Yellow Shoe Army did not launch another attack after retreating, so he also hurriedly arranged for the soldiers to have dinner.

Zhao Gang silently calculated the water consumption and the progress of the battle outside the Beast-killing Valley. This time, he let each soldier drink 400 ml of water.

Only half of the two large water tanks were left.

After dinner, the enemy still did not return to their position. This unusual calm made Zhao Gang feel even more uneasy.

He knew very well that beneath this seemingly calm surface, there was often a more violent storm hidden.

The enemy must be plotting something. He didn't believe the devils could resist the temptation of so much supplies.

In a blink of an eye, the night fell deep and everything was silent. Only the occasional low sound of artillery fire in the distance remained, adding a bit of ominous foreboding to this battlefield night.

Inside the underground command post, the lights were dim, illuminating Zhao Gang's determined yet tired face.

His eyes were filled with fine red bloodshot, evidence of not having slept for two consecutive days and one night, but his gaze was still sharp, as if he could see through every movement on the battlefield.

"Political Commissar, you really need to rest." A staff officer stood beside Zhao Gang, his tone full of concern and worry.

He was well aware of Zhao Gang's tenacity, but he was also worried that the commander's health would collapse.

The enemy temporarily stopped the attack, and this rare calm seemed to be the best time for Zhao Gang to take a break.

Zhao Gang shook his head slightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Haha, I guess the enemy's shells will hit us before I fall asleep."

Zhao Gang sighed, "The enemy will not let us sleep peacefully. It's only two days and one night, I can still hold on." His voice was steady and powerful, as if it was a reassurance to everyone.

"Since we can't sleep, the enemy can't sleep either. Pass the order down, immediately send the drone to scout the enemy. Once we find an opportunity, use our 107 rocket launcher to give them a 'surprise'!"

"Yes!" The staff officer responded and quickly conveyed Zhao Gang's order.

The entire camp became busy again. Although the soldiers were exhausted, they were cheered up after hearing Zhao Gang's decision and threw themselves into the intensive preparations.

Just when the soldiers of the Yellow Shoe Army relaxed their vigilance and tried to find a little comfort in the brief calm, a sudden disaster struck.

Just half an hour later, a deafening explosion pierced the night sky, shaking everyone's heart like the roar of a wild beast.

The soldiers who had just fallen asleep were suddenly awakened, and fear and chaos instantly filled the entire camp.

They ran around, trying to escape the sudden threat of death, but in the dark night, everything seemed so helpless and confusing.

In fact, the casualties on the Japanese side were not heavy. They had been bombarded by our army many times and had gained experience.

When camping in the wild, people usually dig a pit that can only accommodate one person and sleep in it. Moreover, the tents are far apart.

But the sudden shelling still threw the entire camp into chaos.

The soldiers' screams, shouts and explosions intertwined to form a tragic symphony.

The more you run around like this, the greater the casualties will be!

Fortunately for the Japs, the shelling stopped after only three minutes, but the enemy camp remained in chaos for another hour.

After firing rockets, our troops immediately withdrew to the underground fortifications.

Soon after, the Japanese retaliatory artillery fire also covered the area, even mixed with 155mm cannon shells.

That’s right, before Omanrek’s plane arrived, the Japanese had been reinforced with a batch of heavy weapons and personnel support.

The main force of the Japanese army that rushed towards the Beast-Exterminating Valley was plowed back and forth by a regiment. Most of the defeated soldiers fled to the east; some also ran to the southeast. These defeated soldiers joined the ranks of attacking our material transfer station.

The increase in the number of Japanese devils was secondary. A group of defeated soldiers played a very limited role.

The key point is that a batch of heavy equipment that was supposed to be sent to the front line of the Beast-Killing Valley is now impossible to deliver to the Valley, and it also benefits the team that attacked the material transfer station.

As the supply lines were reopened, the enemy forces seemed to be injected with new vitality and became extremely arrogant.

Their artillery fire seemed tireless, the roar was deafening, and it lasted for two hours without any sign of stopping. The artillery fire poured down on our positions like a torrential rain, and every inch of the land was shaking.

The Yellow Shoe Army who had just taken a nap, as well as the previously defeated Japanese troops and remnants of the Yellow Shoe Army, were now driven by the supervision team and had to drag their heavy steps and stagger back to the dusty excavation site to continue their endless work.

Faced with such fierce artillery fire from the enemy, although our army's carefully built bunkers were extremely strong, they could not withstand the continuous bombardment of the heavy artillery.

The structure of the bunker gradually loosened and cracks quietly spread. Seeing the critical situation, Zhao Gang decisively ordered the soldiers to evacuate quickly to the intricate underground defense network, which would become their temporary safe haven.

However, just when everyone felt a little relieved, an emergency notice from the air defense battalion came like a bolt from the blue, escalating the already tense atmosphere again - Russian manrek's fighter planes were about to attack, which was undoubtedly a major threat to our army's material transfer station.

Faced with this sudden air raid alarm, our air defense force seemed particularly weak.

The only one that could provide cover was a battalion of an air defense regiment ninety kilometers away. They were right on the edge of the effective range of anti-aircraft missiles, and a race against time quietly unfolded.

Anti-aircraft missiles, these terrifying air killers in normal times, have a maximum range of 200 kilometers, but in actual combat, their effective range is restricted by many factors.

Especially when the missile approaches the end of its flight, its speed slows down, its maneuverability is greatly reduced, and its interception effectiveness is also greatly reduced.

What is more serious is that the effective range of air defense missiles needs to be dynamically adjusted according to target performance.

Faced with Russia's advanced fighter jets, its effective range was greatly compressed to about 110 kilometers, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of interception.

In contrast, against the Japanese existing fighters and bombers, the effective range can be extended to 160 to 180 kilometers.

Zhao Gang frowned, knowing that the next battle would be a tough one.

He quickly deployed troops and ordered all troops to enter the highest state of alert to prepare for the dual test in the air and on the ground.
