Chapter 475: Artillery fire

At present, the width of the defense line in this area is about 50 kilometers.

Four mountains are used as the main defense positions.

The first mountain range is 50 kilometers long from north to south and 14 kilometers wide at its widest. There is a lake on the east side. The lake is 500 to 2,000 meters wide and generally more than 3 to 4 meters deep. The deepest is more than 10 meters. It is a natural barrier that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Only a small number of troops need to be deployed on the east side to resist thousands of troops.

The west side is about 15 kilometers away from the second mountain. The two mountains can block this 15 kilometers. The opponent is all exposed to the high observation post. It is difficult to hide every move. If the high ground is not conquered, it will be exposed to the firepower point of the defense position.

The firepower blockade of the two mountains makes this 15-kilometer passage a death passage.

The highest point of the first mountain is 1,200 meters above sea level, and there are 5 1,000-meter high grounds. The road is 200 meters above sea level, which means that the first mountain is 1,000 meters high.

The second mountain is 33 kilometers from north to south, with a maximum width of about 9 kilometers from east to west, a highest point of 1,000 meters above sea level, a county seat below 200 meters above sea level, and a mountain height of 800 meters.

The third mountain is 10 kilometers away from the second mountain, with a north-south direction of about 25 kilometers, a maximum width of 5 kilometers from east to west, a highest point of 400 meters above sea level, a county seat below 200 meters above sea level, and a mountain height of 200 meters. The mountain is gentle.

The terrain like the third mountain is not very suitable as a main defensive position, but there is no other way, because there is no other high ground that can be used as a main defensive position.

Even if there are three mountains forming a defensive position, the situation is not favorable for the Annan army.

Because the mountains in the north are higher, from the terrain point of view, the Annan army belongs to the lower point, and the artillery on the mountains in the north can be high above and observe their every move clearly, and even use heavy artillery to attack their positions.

South of Beiguang County, a medium-sized synthetic brigade is gathering, and the target of this medium-sized synthetic brigade is the third defensive position.

The terrain here is very flat, with a slope of 13 degrees!

The enemy's 304th Division is defending this mountain.

As long as this mountain is not taken, the surrounding area will inevitably be threatened and may be attacked by the 304th Division at any time.

It is close to five o'clock and the sky is still dark.

The artillery battalion is adjusting the angle, and all the tanks are also adjusting the angle.

The technicians are observing the wind direction and wind force at any time.

There is no rain today, and the originally prepared shells are temporarily replaced.

One by one, the fuel-air explosive bombs are loaded in.

This time is suitable for fuel-air explosive bombs.

It was not suitable to use fuel-air explosive bombs before, so the fuel-air explosive bombs brought by the medium-sized synthetic brigade have never had a chance to be used.

And today is very suitable.

The time has entered the 60-second countdown.

At five o'clock in the morning, when people are most tired in the day, they sleep the deepest and most fragrantly.

As for those on guard duty, they are also the least energetic at this time, and even doze off.

"Fire!"

Each battalion issued the order almost at the same time.

"Boom~~Boom~~Boom~~"

120 Type 81 medium tanks and other self-propelled artillery, including self-propelled howitzers, self-propelled mortars, self-propelled rockets, etc., fired one after another, and quickly came out of the barrels, fiercely pouring towards the defensive positions of the enemy's 304th Division.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh"

Those with long range attack the distance, those with shorter range attack the middle, and those with shorter range attack the closer defensive positions.

The scene was extremely chaotic.

One after another, the cloud bombs were fired.

Mushroom clouds rose up, which was very spectacular and extremely shocking.

"Woo~~"

At the defensive position, when a roar came from the sky, the hand-cranked air defense alarm arranged on the position sounded shrilly.

"Everyone enter the fortifications and avoid attacks!"

The commanders of various units issued orders while drilling into the fortifications.

Without orders, those experienced soldiers drilled into their nearest fortifications at this time.

"Boom~~"

The first fuel-air bomb landed.

Exploded.

A ball of light like a small sun spread out in the darkness.

This was like a prelude, and dense fuel-air bombs instantly covered the entire defensive position.

"Boom boom boom~~~"

The night sky around the entire position was illuminated brightly.

It was a small sun-like light that dispelled the darkness and brought light.

But this light was not the dawn of hope, but the light of destruction of death.

Each small sun emptied the surrounding oxygen, forming a blazing high temperature.

I don't know how many people were burned to death directly, how many people suffocated to death due to lack of oxygen, and their hands scratched their throats.

This is the terrible power of fuel-air bombs, the most powerful under nuclear weapons, and even known as "sub-nuclear weapons", which is definitely not in vain.

When the small suns dispersed, the bombardment did not end. After the fuel-air bombs were used up, there were still ordinary shells.

Li Hua did not order a ground attack on the enemy's defensive positions, but to use artillery shells to plow the ground.

In order to annihilate the enemy's 304th Division in one fell swoop, a full 5,000 fuel-air bombs were fired. After the fuel-air bombs, a total of 25,000 artillery shells of various calibers were fired.

Li Hua looked at his watch and saw that the time was almost up, so he issued an attack order.

120 Type 81 medium tanks dispersed and launched an attack on the defensive positions, coordinated with infantry fighting vehicles.

The soldiers were wearing camouflage uniforms, bulletproof vests, bulletproof helmets, and 78-type automatic rifles in their hands.

The 13-degree slope was easy for heavy tanks and infantry fighting vehicles to walk on.

At this time, the soldiers who were still alive in the enemy's defensive positions began to counterattack, trying to stop the attack of the medium-sized synthetic brigade.

Fast!

The attack speed of the medium-sized synthetic brigade was very fast!

In terms of mobility, the mobility of the medium-sized synthetic brigade was higher than that of the heavy-sized synthetic brigade.

The artillery bombing in front was based on the positioning of reconnaissance satellites and Beidou navigation satellites, and the reconnaissance aircraft made corrections, bombarding the artillery positions and main defense positions of the enemy's 304th Division.

It can be said that the fuel-air bombs and various artillery shells caused huge casualties to the 304th Division.

Many armored vehicles and cars were directly destroyed in the bombardment.

The smell of blood and burnt smell in the air proved the power of the bombardment.

When the medium-sized combined brigade launched an attack and attacked the first line of defense, you can see artillery pits one by one.

Many enemy soldiers were killed or injured by artillery fire.

There were not many who were truly capable of fighting.

"Da Da Da~~" The machine gunner operated the machine gun and kept firing.

In this kind of close combat, the cannon is no longer useful, and the machine gun is more useful and has greater lethality.

The cannon is more used to attack from a distance.

Soldiers kept shooting through the holes in the infantry fighting vehicles, and some soldiers got off the infantry fighting vehicles to eliminate the enemy in the tunnel.

The flamethrower came in handy at this time.

To deal with the remaining soldiers in the tunnel, the flamethrower is more useful than the rifle and machine gun.

As for the tanks, they did not stop at all, directly crossed the trenches and continued to attack the second line of defense.

The first blow was strong, the second was weak, and the third was exhausted!

It is necessary to quickly cut the battlefield and annihilate the enemy before the other party has organized a corresponding resistance.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to attack after the enemy has completed an organized defense.
