Chapter 1013 - No Turning Back Arrow for Opening the Bow (First Update!) )
The former enemy headquarters of the garrison regiment, Li Hao stood in front of the map, his eyes unblinking.
There are still a few minutes left before the attack, there is no turning back from the bow, and once the battle starts, there is no point in regretting it.
Therefore, Li Hao must take into account all the problems that may arise after the offensive begins, so as to respond to all changes without change.
"Commander, it's almost time......" Hong Linfeng stood next to him and reminded.
"Are the artillery and offensive units in place?" Li Hao's eyes didn't move, staring at the map and asked.
"All in place, and ready for battle." Hong Linfeng replied
"The observation post reported that there was no movement of the Japanese puppet army in the city, and there should be no detection of our actions tonight."
"Let's get started!" Li Hao no longer hesitated.
"Start ......," Hong Linfeng ordered to a few telephone operators next to him.
As soon as he finished speaking, these people shouted into the microphone in their hands: "Start attacking ......"
"A round of test firing...... Open the artillery ......" the heavy artillery position of the garrison regiment in the south of the city, the company commander shouted at the top of his voice.
As soon as the words fell, the six heavy cannons lined up in a row let out a roar of "boom ......", and the cannonballs rushed out of the cannon chamber under the flames, and flew into the night sky with a piercing scream, flying towards Laiyuan City, a few kilometers away.
It took almost ten seconds for the cannonball to cross the Laiyuan city wall and smash into the Japanese puppet army garrison south of the city.
Clusters of firelight rose in the middle of the station, more than ten meters high, and it was particularly dazzling.
The artillery observation post guarding the high ground outside the city saw it clearly, and immediately shouted through the microphone: "The shell is on target, continue to fire ......"
"Continue to fire artillery, five minutes of rapid fire per gun, then two minutes of extended firing, and finally reinforcements to attack Laiyuan City." The company commander, who was waiting for news by the phone, quickly ordered.
Three of the six shells smashed on the training ground, blowing up three huge craters with a radius of five meters, and three of them smashed into the barracks area of the station, and at the moment of the explosion, the houses were blown up together, and some of the bricks and rubble were smashed on the ground, and some were blown away, flying everywhere in the sky.
The smoke and dust that rose quickly swept and spread to the surrounding area.
The little devil who was sleeping in the barracks was buried in the rubble before he woke up from his dream, his life and death were unknown, and he lost his combat effectiveness.
"Woo woo woo ......"
Sirens quickly sounded in the camp, screams, scolding, orders...... Loud and loud.
Before the second round of shells flew, there were already little devils rushing out with rifles in their hands.
Because the incident was so sudden, many people rushed out without even wearing military uniforms, with rifles and armed belts, not wanting to be buried in the barracks in a daze.
"What are you doing in a daze? Leave the camp immediately, disperse into the street fighting fortifications, hurry up and ......" shouted the squadron leader who rushed out together, nervous and anxious.
"Woooooooooo......oo Rumble ......"
The piercing sound of breaking the air came from far and near, and the sound became louder and louder, directly interrupting the commander's order, and then smashing into the camp and exploding.
A shell landed right near them.
In the violent explosion, more than a dozen devils were like papier-mâché toys, thrown high into the sky by the air waves, and suffered the killing and wounding of the shock wave in the flying.
After Tian Erjian smashed to the ground, more than a dozen devils had turned into corpses and fell to the ground motionless.
In addition to these dozen devils, five more barracks were blown up.
Each barracks houses ten devils, which means that after only two rounds of shelling, the camp has already suffered more than 100 casualties.
The Japanese brigade command was not spared, they were watched by four heavy guns in a heavy artillery room.
The shells screeched down, and two houses were blown up on the spot, more than a dozen guards were blown away, and some people were directly blown to pieces and lost their traces.
"Guards, go to the backyard immediately to protect the brigade commander from here, here is being targeted by heavy artillery.
The brigade commander reacted quickly, and he woke up when the explosion sounded, got up from the bed, put on his military uniform and rushed out, colliding with the captain of the guard who was hurrying over.
"General, the brigade headquarters is being targeted by the heavy artillery of the garrison, and we must get out of here immediately." The captain of the guard reported.
With a wave of his hand, he shouted to the guards behind him: "What are you still doing in a daze, immediately protect the brigade commander and get out of here."
Dozens of people gathered around the brigade commander and just rushed out of the backyard, and the screams rang out again, getting closer and closer, and the sound was getting louder and louder.
"Boom ......"
An explosion rang out, right in their ears, and one of the shells hit the room where the war room was located.
The house was directly blown down, leaving a ring of broken walls around it.
In the war room, the soldiers, staff officers, and operators who have not yet had time to retreat......
Either they were blown to pieces, or they were blown away, and they were smashed into the broken arms of the surrounding masonry and stone, and they lost their lives.
There was also a bomb that landed right in the backyard yard, and four or five dedication were blown away along with the rising fireball and black smoke.
Although the thick courtyard wall and the distance was not close, there was not much aftertaste of the shells here, and the brigade commander still felt that his ears were buzzing with the shock wave, and it took a long time to clean them.
"General, the war room is over, and the communication between the command headquarters and the surrounding garrisons has been completely cut off......," the deputy chief of staff hurried over and reported with a sad face.
The brigade commander was also frightened by the sudden shelling, but did not lose his composure.
"Let's move ahead and leave the command," he commanded. ”
"The rest of the command is all withdrawn, and it must be fast."
"When the telephone contact was interrupted, we sent a communications corps to get in touch with the troops, and listening to the explosion, Laiyuan City should be more than one of us that was shelled."
"Immediately set up a temporary command headquarters next to the original command headquarters, and the communications troops will find a way to connect the blown up telephone lines to the temporary command headquarters, and then get in touch with the garrison troops in all directions."
"The observation post went directly to the roof, looked for the highest roof nearby, and observed the surrounding situation with the naked eye, to find out where in the city was attacked, and how many heavy artillery the garrison had gathered to attack us."
"Also, order the city defense troops to be on higher alert."
"No one dares to guarantee that the garrison will not move its troops tonight in addition to artillery, and will directly attack Laiyuan City."
The little devils around the brigade commander are the most elite, with strong combat effectiveness and rich combat experience.
When the order was given, the subordinates who rushed over began to act, like a war machine that had already been launched.
"General, there is a fireball rising in the camp of the garrison south of the city, and they are also under heavy artillery fire...... "An observation post reported.
"Report to the general, the camp of the garrison in the east of the city was also shelled......"
Soon, the news of the shelling of all four infantry brigade positions reached the ears of the brigade commander.
With the addition of the brigade headquarters, a total of five targets were attacked by heavy artillery at the same time, which was equivalent to the garrison regiment using all the heavy artillery it could use.
"Eight Geya Road, this is definitely not an ordinary artillery strike, this is a conspiracy, an attack!" The brigade commander judged with a calm face.
Then the order began: "The city garrison is on heightened alert, and all four infantry brigades are entering the street fortifications. The garrison regiment made such a big battle. There must have been more than one shelling. ”
