Chapter 902 The second stage task (4) [two-in-one chapter]
"Haha, there is no one at all, so I win! Hurry, hurry up, give money quickly, no, it should be system points; Commanders, 500 points each, thank you~"
The commander of the Tulip Team, Lord Dardani, shouted so loudly.
You can tell it in person, there is indescribable joy in his voice.
The reason was simple. Seeing that there was no other sound or movement in the burning sea of fire, he was sure that there must be no one inside.
He didn't think it was possible for a living creature to hide in such an environment without making any noise.
This means some good things. For example, at this time, the enemies that give them headaches, such as the Zhongzhou Team and the ZY Army, have not yet arrived on the battlefield.
Maybe they were held back by other things, but anyway, they could spend this critical night safely and relaxedly.
In addition, the commanders of the other four teams, without exception, all bet that there are some ZY troops and Zhongzhou teams lurking in that small forest.
In this way, if each person adds up to 500 points, he can earn 2,000 system points.
And in a normal battle, even if he can get a little more points due to his status as a commander, it's still only three to five thousand points.
It can be said that this unexpected gain is equal to the gain from the previous half of the mission.
Therefore, it is very understandable that Commander Dardani seems so happy.
It's just that how happy he is now, the mood of others, Dr. Jonathan and others, seems so depressed at such a time.
Although this was a tentative bombardment, the specific results were a great thing for them.
It proved that tonight they might be able to survive this critical moment without having to fight to the death.
But considering that the points they got at the end of each mission were basically squandered by them, once they paid 500 points now, they would probably be cleaner than their faces if they didn't say anything about it.
I believe that personal accounts, which are already shabby, will also become even more constrained.
For this reason, everyone started cursing in their mouths.
As for whether they might have made a mistake, there were actually members of the ZY Army and the Zhongzhou Team lurking in that small forest, but they just tried not to expose this.
They think it is simply impossible. In their cognition, no normal creature can survive in such an environment.
Under the burning of the flame, you can prevent yourself from making any sound or movement.
It doesn't matter what level of strong men you are, let alone ordinary ZY army soldiers.
And there is a time when these people are either beaming with laughter because they have won a large amount of points; or there are times when they are swearing because they have lost a lot.
Little did they know that about 5 kilometers away from them, a large-scale artillery bombardment by the ZY Army was being prepared, giving them a big gift...
Yes! The above content is correct.
At this time, Hu Biao and his independent tank battalion captured a total of 5 of the famous Willys jeeps through fighting.
In the back seat of these jeeps, in addition to the original M2 heavy machine gun.
Now there is a new function, which is to drag and move the imitation 107mm rocket launcher.
Therefore, there are now a total of five 107mm rocket launchers with a total of 60 tubes, and they are preparing to fire under the command of Bian Po.
Such a firepower density is basically equivalent to a 105mm howitzer regiment firing at the same time.
Therefore, there is no problem at all in describing it as a large-scale bombardment.
Under the cover of darkness, five 107mm rocket launchers were lined up, and not far away were a total of nine Centurion tanks.
As well as an M19 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, 2 M46 self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicles, and 11 trucks of various types.
After adding those Willys jeeps, these are all the assets of the current independent tank battalion.
In addition to the jeep, other equipment such as tanks, self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicles, and trucks are all surrounded by logs, sandbags and other objects tied around the body.
It can be said that we have tried our best to add some protective capabilities to these equipment.
There is no way! Because after the shelling, all the possessions of the independent tank battalion will rush over in one go and fight to the death with the serious armored battalion of the soldiers.
On one side are serious armored soldiers with many years of experience, and on the other side are some rookies who have only been using it for a month.
Although there is no need to doubt the officers and men of the independent tank battalion in terms of their fighting courage, this is after all their first serious tank battle with armored forces.
So it seems that it is understandable to be cautious and nervous.
Finally, Miao Asheng, a small soldier of the ZY Army who was in the lurking position of Shadow and others, burned for almost a minute, and now there was no movement at all.
Shadow, Husky, Zhui Feng and other team members kept greeting each other cordially.
The five 107mm rocket launchers finally completed all preparations for launch, after Bianrou gave the order "Fire~".
"Whoosh~" 60 rounds of rockets, with long tail fins trailing behind them, cut through the pitch-black night tonight, and hit the armored battalion of the soldiers 5 kilometers away.
In seven to nine seconds, all 60 rocket rounds were fired.
This posture and purpose is based on this combat plan. They need to use this only artillery power to first disrupt the formation of the armored battalion and camp that poses the greatest threat.
Therefore, the target of the attack will be this armored battalion, not the soldiers and members of the five clans on the high ground.
By the way! Bacon is a top student who graduated from Yale, and he has used the skill book "Basic Artillery Use Specialization" produced by the system.
After he calculated the trajectory of the rocket launcher, the accuracy was quite good.
Anyway, in the eyes of Hu Biao and others hiding somewhere at the foot of the mountain, these rockets seemed to have eyes. After drawing beautiful arcs in the night sky, they accurately hit the armored battalion of the soldiers.
Come down.
Because they were worried about the ZY army's night attack, the soldiers in the camp were well prepared.
For example, tanks, self-propelled anti-aircraft firepower, and armored vehicles were used to form a solid line of defense around the camp.
And all the personnel had no intention of resting on this night; a small number of personnel were guarding the edge of the position.
Every crew member of a tank or armored vehicle also stays inside the vehicle body and is always ready for battle.
After all, it is not a secret to them that their opponents have some Centurion tanks.
Most of the people were also standing by the fire lit with gasoline, smoking cigarettes, cigars, drinking scalding coffee and chatting cursingly.
Although none of them are doing anything right now, they are not sleeping.
As long as a battle occurs, they can have enough time to engage in battle and top the line of defense. This is their previous battle experience, and there is no problem.
But today, the situation is completely different.
Some of the guards, after seeing the dense rockets flying in the sky, trembled all over and shouted in a horrified tone:
"Katyusha..."
****
Like a curse, the three simple words "Katyusha~" were shouted out.
Almost in the next moment, the whole camp of the soldiers' armored battalion completely exploded.
Mainly because of the efforts of the five-person team, the soldiers on the Goryeo battlefield were not sure whether they were lucky or unlucky. They were just like the descendants in the imperial cemetery, who had enjoyed the power of the 107mm guerrilla artifact in advance.
It's just that these soldiers don't know more specific information about the 107mm rocket launcher, so they still call it "Katyusha~".
But no matter what they call it, it does not affect the huge power exerted by the 107mm rocket launcher.
In an instant, countless fires, dense shrapnel, and explosion shock waves erupted in this soldier camp, knocking down a large group of unprotected soldiers to the ground.
Some of the more clever soldiers among them fell to the ground in time.
They escaped the flying shrapnel and shock waves, but they still failed to survive.
Because the rockets were too dense, they fell into the position one after another, and the violent explosions burned out the nearby air, directly causing these soldiers to die of lack of oxygen.
Of course, an armored battalion of soldiers would never be completely taken away by such a wave of rockets.
At least the crew members in the tank were basically unaffected. The thick armor prevented almost all damage from the outside world.
Although the armor of most M8 Greyhound armored vehicles and M19 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns is a little thinner, most of them are still unaffected by the power of the explosion.
Therefore, the crew members reacted one after another after a brief panic.
Focus on the front of the position, prepare to welcome the light infantry of the ZY Army, and then use ferocious firepower to avenge your comrades.
But this time, they were wrong again.
Because the moment the five 107 rocket launchers fired, all the mechanical engines of the independent tank battalion roared at this moment.
Then, led by nine of the Centurion heavy tanks, they rushed in the direction of the soldiers' armored battalion.
The distance of 5 kilometers is actually 30 kilometers per hour on a third-class highway. Logically speaking, it would take 10 minutes to drive there.
Being so far away from their goal actually made Hu Biao and the others a little helpless.
Mainly because in the past, the independent tank battalion did not dare to get too close even under the cover of night.
I was worried that the roar of the engine would alert the opponents on the high ground; so I had no choice but to stop 5 kilometers away.
However, this does not mean that these Centurion tanks will take ten minutes to cause damage to the target.
After driving for at least half a minute, the nine tanks basically raised the tank barrels high and adjusted the turret to about 16 degrees. After the vehicle body shook violently, each of them fired an 83.4 mm caliber high-explosive round.
.
After flying over a distance of more than 4 kilometers, these artillery shells struck a few hundred meters away from the soldiers' camp.
In the open space, large craters were blown up one after another.
Don’t worry about the empty shot, because King Kong, who was hiding not far outside the camp, made quick calculations and yelled into the walkie-talkie in his hand:
"Adjust the muzzle downward by 0.5 degrees and to the right by 3 degrees; 10,9,8...2,1, fire~"
In this new round of shells, two shells finally fell into the camp.
And there was a high-explosive bomb in it, which coincidentally landed on the front of an M8 Greyhound armored vehicle.
Even if it is not an armor-piercing projectile, the power of an 83.4 mm caliber high-explosive projectile cannot be withstood by such a thin-skinned and heavily-dented thing.
In the next second, this thing exploded, and even produced a huge explosion.
An M46 anti-aircraft vehicle came up next to it and it overturned directly to the ground.
In this way, the nine Centurions galloped forward while firing; the M26, M46 and other tanks on the soldiers' side.
Even Sherman naturally fought back not to be outdone.
However, without the command of an observation post, and with the opponent moving at high speed, and with the current level of fire control, it is strange that their fire could hit the opponent.
On the contrary, under King Kong's constant and professional command, the rookie gunners of the independent tank battalion became more and more accurate in their attacks.
As a result, many tank commanders who participated in World War II began to curse wildly when they were beaten and their counterattacks were ineffective.
But what they don't know is that something more terrible is yet to come.
Because when the first round of rockets was fired, a group of ZY Army soldiers were wearing single clothes or even shirtless in the cold weather of minus 20 degrees.
With an excited expression on his face and wearing asbestos gloves, he began to fill the rocket launcher again.
Anyway, when the armored troops of the independent tank battalion officially rush in front of the opponent, they can at least fire one round of covering fire.
In short, it is calculated with intention and without intention.
The armored battalion of the soldiers could not even sustain itself, let alone support the five teams and soldiers on the high ground.
In fact, at this point, their support is no longer needed on the highlands...
There was no "pop~" signal flare, nor did Hu Biao yell out the familiar "charge~" at the top of his lungs.
At this time, the sky was filled with rockets like brilliant fireworks, piercing the night sky.
For everyone in the Central Continent Team, this is the best order to take action.
Suddenly, except for King Kong, who shouldered the responsibility of the artillery observer and remained in place to continue commanding, the other two groups of personnel all rushed forward with all their strength at this moment.
In particular, the three members of the Wangwang team, Yingying, Hanzi, Zhui Feng, Shi Polu, and a group of ZY Army soldiers, formed a sharp knife assault force lurking in the woods and rushed out immediately.
But the moment they rushed out, everyone glanced at Miao Asheng subconsciously.
That was the one who endured inhuman pain in the flames and was eventually burned into a body that was no longer human. Then, all the anger they had suppressed in their hearts erupted like a volcano at this moment.
Of course, they later dealt with the flames on their bodies, but the methods were rather rough.
And it also handles some big problems and basically ignores the small ones.
Like Husky, he burned himself to ashes with just one strike of the knife, and his left hand, which is still burning like a torch, was chopped off.
Then he tied them up with armed belts and rushed out.
Shadow, a rookie, also started to rub his back against the snow on the ground after an embarrassing roll; he looked like a black bear rubbing against the trunk of a tree.
In the previous burning, his entire back had been burned to the point of disfigurement; so during such a process, Shadow, a rookie, felt inhumanly severe pain.
But from beginning to end, he didn't even make a sound.
Because compared with what Miao Asheng, a ZY Army soldier, had endured, he felt that his current pain was nothing and he had no shame to cry out.
Finally, when he stood up and rushed over, Shadow roared:
"Mad dog, give me one of the explosive bags in your space ring~"
The reason why he shouted this was that Shadow knew that with his current severe and extensive burns and the current poor medical treatment, he probably would not survive the wound infection in the later stages.
So if he must die, he hopes that his death will be worthwhile.
Almost the same thoughts and actions also appeared in Husky; so these two guys with a death wish gradually rushed to the front...
Don't look at the above description, which involves multiple regions and people, and consumes a considerable amount of space.
However, when the members of the sharp knife team rushed out, they actually fired incendiary bombs from the high ground, and the time did not exceed 2 minutes.
Especially in the last 20 seconds, Dr. Jonathan and others can be said to have experienced a shocking change that made them despair.
First of all, in their eyes, the strong soldiers and armored battalions were in chaos amid the rocket bombs.
It was obvious that there was no way to continue supporting them.
The second most critical place is still in the grove where they thought it was impossible for a living person to exist, in the flames that are still burning raging even now.
A group of warriors rushed out as if they had been rushed out of hell.
Even after the scene where the two guys at the front were hugging that kind of explosive bag.
After seeing the above scene, a huge wave of cold air rushed from their tail bones directly to Tianling Gai, making their entire scalps numb.
If you continue to retreat even though you know it, it will almost become a habit.
But I don't know which bastard shouted out "Retreat~".
Dr. Jonathan and other commanders also followed the flow of people very attentively; they ran wildly towards the deserted high ground.
Once again, their carefully planned battle went so awry.
During the hasty evacuation, two huge explosions began to sound, and the few people at the back of the five teams were knocked to the ground along with a large number of soldiers.
Even the commander of the Kangaroo Team, Mori, was knocked to the ground by the shock wave during this process.
However, a scene that he thought was a compensation and reward appeared. With a "snap~" sound, a small object fell beside him.
Taking a closer look, he found that it was another unopened pack of 'baisha' cigarettes.
Without even thinking about it, Commander Mori picked up this unexpected surprise and continued running away.
Because he doesn’t necessarily have to run at the front, but he must not run at the back of all the teams, otherwise he will be in big trouble...
