Immediately afterwards, the commander of the second echelon shouted in horror: "Commander, we...we were also ambushed...the explosion was very violent, we...we almost lost our lives..."
All gone! The brothers who are still alive are all seriously injured, with blood and broken limbs everywhere..."
Hearing this, Chen Zhonglei's whole body was stunned for an instant.
He never dreamed that the northern wing would be expected by the enemy.
As a result, the thousand elites he sent were all plotted by the other party!
He obviously went to sneak attack the opponent, and the elites he sent out were all the elites most suitable for beheading missions. Why was he killed and injured more than half of them as soon as he landed? How did the enemy plan and arrange all this in advance?
OK?
Just when Chen Zhonglei fell into extreme self-doubt, Hamid's soldiers launched a full-scale attack!
Hamid had already divided the entire base into five areas according to Ye Chen's instructions.
Each area is divided into dozens of detailed coordinates based on the location of the explosion point.
Therefore, after the soldiers in each bunker knew which explosion point exploded based on the marked map, they immediately had a clear understanding of the enemy's current location.
Immediately afterwards, Hamid sent 800 soldiers on the forward and reverse slopes to surround the first echelon.
At the same time, the artillery in the reverse slope tunnel on the south wing immediately launched twenty small mortars, aiming at the explosion point on the north wing from the entrance of the tunnel on the south wing, preparing to launch another round of artillery bombardment on the second echelon on the north wing.
The structure of the mortar is simple. To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than a slender barrel fixed on a tripod. This kind of gun has a short range and low power. Compared with towed artillery, it pales in comparison.
However, this weapon also has its advantages.
The biggest advantage is that it is highly maneuverable and portable. You can fight when you come and run away after fighting.
Launching is also very simple. Just adjust the angle and put the shell in from the muzzle, and it will fire instantly.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Japanese Army Lieutenant General Norihide Abe, known as the flower of famous generals, was taken away with a mortar by a young artilleryman of the Eighth Route Army.
It is precisely because of these advantages that this mortar has not been eliminated by the military for decades.
Hamid's artillerymen knew the location of every explosion point on the northern flank, so they made adjustments very quickly before the bombardment.
A minute or two later, these twenty mortars began one round after another of non-stop bombing!
Moreover, the impact point of the artillery shell was very accurate, and it exploded almost in the center of the second echelon's assembly point.
The five million Dragon Palace soldiers in the second echelon were themselves severely bombed. Before they could make any adjustments, dense mortar shells fell around them like hailstones.
Now, the hilltop on the north wing has simply become a purgatory on earth.
After several rounds of shelling, the death rate of Wanlongdian soldiers on the entire northern flank had exceeded 90%.
The remaining people were all dying at this time.
"Tommy! Tommy! Answer quickly!" Chen Zhonglei almost collapsed. He shouted the name of the second echelon commander in the communication system.
However, on the other end of the intercom, apart from the dense sound of gunfire, how could anyone respond to him?
The commander of the second echelon, British Tommy Johnson, had already been killed by mortar shells during the first round of shelling.
Chen Zhonglei listened to the sound of mortar shells exploding continuously in the communicator, and tears could not stop flowing down his face.
He knew that the second echelon might be helpless, so he immediately said to the commander of the first echelon: "Onizuka! You must hold on! Don't give up! I will let the five thousand soldiers of the government army launch a charge.
I will save you no matter what!"
The commander of the first echelon, the Japanese Kenta Onizuka, laughed miserably and said: "Commander, don't worry... the enemy has already rushed up... Goodbye... Commander...
..."
