After the communication ended, Commander Yu picked up the transmitter of another radio station and said in a calm and powerful voice: "Artillery, target airport, fire interruption for five minutes!"
Thirty-six 105mm wheeled assault guns from two assault gun battalions scattered on the south bank of the Huangsha River received orders at the same time and quickly obtained target information provided by the armored soldiers through the data link.
Before the insect plague broke out, wheeled assault guns were generally attached to mechanized troops to provide accompanying firepower for machine gun troops. Their combat tasks were anti-armor, fighting against enemy armored troops, attacking bunkers, forming firepower points, and covering infantry assaults.
China is a staunch supporter of artillery doctrine. After the insect disaster broke out, artillery played an irreplaceable role in fighting the insect swarms. The artillery formation is flexible and easy to use, and the cost is much lower than air strikes. It has great advantages under the current situation.
extremely important combat position.
As a result, the military began to increase the number of artillery units in large quantities, taking artillery doctrine to its extreme. Assault artillery, a powerful piece of equipment that can hit and run away, was especially popular with artillery. The Shayuan garrison only had one brigade with two battalions and thirty-six guns.
Assault gun.
Eleven seconds after receiving the order, a wheeled assault gun hidden between two buildings was the first to fire. With a huge explosion, smoke filled the air, the assault gun body shook violently, and the shells left the chamber and flew towards Huangsha Hebei.
Shore airport.
The scattered assault guns were as close as five kilometers away from the airport and as far away as eight kilometers away from the airport. The shells fired from different positions and angles flew towards the common target. After a few seconds, the screams shredded the air above the airport. More than thirty people
The shells landed one after another within a very short time difference, and explosions occurred one after another. The explosions tore apart the wolves, overturned the wolves, and shattered the wolves. The dense swarm of insects was vulnerable to the intensive artillery fire.
Digitalization has made artillery even more powerful. Even if there are no centralized artillery positions in urban areas, the accuracy of artillery salvoes will not be affected.
It wasn't that the Shayuan Brigade didn't want to use artillery, but that after the insect swarm entered the city, they got mixed up with the defenders, forming a situation similar to street fighting. The defenders were scattered all over the north bank of the Huangsha River, and the insect swarm ran very fast.
, even if the troops requested artillery support, the insect swarms would have already left by the time the artillery shells flew over, so the artillery has been useless since the war began.
Not only was the artillery of the Shayuan Brigade not used, there were two long-range rocket launcher groups within 300 kilometers that could provide supporting firepower for Shayuan, but no suitable opportunity was found.
The defense line established by Bian Ge not only blocked the surging insect swarm, but also concentrated the insect swarm on one side of the defense line. The more wolves and insects that entered the airport, the greater the results achieved by the artillery.
If the timeliness and accuracy of the long-range rocket launchers were not so unsatisfactory, Commander Yu would have definitely called for friendly fire and requested fire coverage.
The artillery fire dispersed the dense insect swarm, and Bian Ge decisively ordered the troops to withdraw from their positions. The soldiers jumped on the armored vehicle one after another, but did not enter the armored vehicle. Instead, they mounted the machine gun on the roof of the vehicle to prevent the insect swarm from breaking through the artillery fire.
There were indeed lucky wolves that successfully passed through the artillery fire, but unfortunately the number was too small. Bian Ge, who personally stopped the enemy, just waved his hand, and the machine guns on several armored vehicles immediately eliminated the following wolves.
The troops withdrew to the first intersection, and two armored vehicles parked on the left and right sides of the intersection. The vehicle-mounted machine guns and the soldiers' rifles opened fire at the same time, trying their best to block the incoming insect swarms from the east and west sides.
The machine guns of the retreating troops joined the battle and immediately suppressed the vanguard of the insect swarm.
Upon seeing this, Bian Ge shouted over the radio: "Ye Han, retreat!" The squadron he led only had ten armored vehicles, and the distance between them was not far. He saw Ye Han who was stubbornly defending at a glance.
Ye Han waved his arms and shouted: "Get in the car!"
The soldiers immediately got on the vehicle, and two armored vehicles joined the retreat. Then Bian Ge issued a new order, and half of the armored vehicles in the convoy accelerated their evacuation, replacing their companions at several intersections in the south, taking over more intersections, and leaving space for the garrison stranded on the north bank.
Sufficient time to evacuate.
Wolves kept coming from both sides, and the team retreated step by step to resist, gradually retreating to the south bank of the Huangsha River.
The strange thing is that there are basically no wolves approaching the south side of the convoy, but there are a large number of wolves following the convoy on the north side, and there are still intensive explosions coming from the direction of the airport. Is there a mistake in the artillery interception?
At this time, Bian Ge suddenly received a satellite communication from the Beidu Joint Command Center: "Bian Ge, there are a large number of wolves on both sides of you, speed up and disengage!"
At the same time as receiving the order, Bian Ge also received real-time satellite images from Beidu. He clearly saw the retreating convoy and even saw himself. More importantly, he saw the situation outside the retreat route!
The forks in the east and west directions of this road are blocked by buildings blasted by the garrison, and it is impossible to see the outside situation. However, satellite images sent by Beidu can be seen wandering on both sides of the retreat route. Many wolf insects are always on the front line of the swarm.
The retreating convoy remained parallel.
It's not surprising that Beidu knows about the situation here. With such a serious problem happening in Shayuan, it's impossible for Beidu not to pay attention to the situation in Shayuan. There might be more than one satellite in the sky staring at Shayuan.
Bian Ge quickly ordered the troops to speed up, and the convoy gradually broke away from the pursuit of the insect swarm. But would the garrison in front have time to withdraw to the south bank?
After opening a slight distance, Bian Ge quickly contacted the Shayuan headquarters. After passing the coordinates to the headquarters, he requested firepower to block the evacuation route and buy time for the garrison to evacuate.
Naturally, Commander Yu would not shirk, and immediately ordered the artillery to hit all the artillery shells on the new target.
At this time, the artillery has consumed two-thirds of the artillery shells, and new target data has been obtained through the sharing of data links, and the shooting data has been moving south.
The artillery roared in anger again, and the shells falling from the sky accurately landed behind the retreating armored convoy, drowning the swarm of insects that were pursuing them.
Bian Ge did not relax and turned to look south. He could already see the garrison soldiers running towards the Huangsha River along the way.
With the speed of the convoy, it won't take long to catch up with the evacuating garrison. These soldiers will definitely not be able to outrun the fierce wolves. Even if there is no swarm of insects chasing behind them, they will not be able to outrun the wolves that are outflanking them from the left and right.
There was only one kilometer to go before we could reach the bridge over the Huangsha River. No matter what, we couldn't just watch the soldiers being drowned by wolves. Bian Ge loudly ordered: "Everyone, pay attention, get out of the car and run, and give the car to the friendly forces!"
The armored vehicle showed no sign of slowing down. The well-trained uniformed soldiers jumped off the roof of the vehicle as if they were performing stunts. When their feet touched the ground, they took long strides and ran away, keeping in line with the direction of the armored vehicle. Even the speed was not at all.
Difference.
All armored soldiers know that facing the forward direction when jumping out of a vehicle can maximize safety, while facing away from the back or side is more dangerous.
