Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 211 Beyond imagination, unprecedented!
Faced with such fierce artillery fire, the enemy's positions were thrown into chaos.

Because since the war began, nothing like this has ever happened to the Volunteer Army.

Concentrating the firepower of dozens of heavy artillery pieces is just enough to deal with a mere battalion.

Under such powerful firepower, the unprepared enemy was immediately stunned.

Lieutenant Colonel Wright, who was drinking coffee at the time, was startled by the intensive explosions coming from afar, and the coffee in his hand spilled all over him.

Lieutenant Colonel Wright didn't care about these things anymore. He ran out in a hurry and shouted loudly, "What happened?"

"Report to the commander, the enemy suddenly concentrated a large amount of heavy artillery fire to bombard our positions."

Lieutenant Colonel Wright hurried to the observation post outside and observed carefully through the telescope.

I saw that several positions and camps on the front line were bombarded, and the artillery fire was quite strong.

Lieutenant Colonel Wright opened his mouth in surprise and asked, "When did the enemy have such powerful firepower?"

The officer next to him said in panic: "The enemy is definitely about to launch a large-scale attack. What should we do now?"

Lieutenant Colonel Wright tried to keep calm, gritted his teeth and said, "Inform all companies immediately to hold their positions and not to retreat without orders. Anyone who disobeys orders will be severely punished."

"Notify the artillery company immediately and conduct artillery counterattack to suppress the enemy's artillery fire."

"Also, report the situation to your superiors immediately and request aircraft and support forces to support us. We need reinforcements now."

"Yes sir!"

Under the order of Lieutenant Colonel Wright, the enemy's artillery company immediately began to launch artillery counterattacks.

However, the enemy's artillery had just fired two shots.

A sharp whistling sound suddenly sounded in the air.

Hearing the strange sound, the enemy soldiers all looked up.

I saw a barrage of shells flying towards this side quickly.

"It's Katyusha!"

"Quickly retreat~!"

The enemy troops suddenly became chaotic and fled in all directions.

However, before they could escape, the first round of rockets fell.

"Boom~! Boom~!"

Violent explosions rang out one after another, and round after round of rockets hit the enemy's artillery positions.

Violent explosions sounded continuously, and the enemy's artillery positions instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire. The cannons were destroyed one after another, and the enemies on the positions were also engulfed by the artillery fire.

Among the six artillery battalions of the Volunteer Army, one was the Katyusha artillery battalion. In a round of rapid artillery fire, more than a hundred rockets were poured onto the enemy's artillery positions in about ten seconds.

The enemy's entire artillery company was completely destroyed, all heavy artillery was blown up, and nearly a hundred people were blown to pieces.

Li Guotao lay in the trench, looking at the enemy positions in the distance, and shouted excitedly: "Good job! Bomb these bastards to death!"

"And Katyusha?"

"This thing is really amazing!"

Even though Li Guotao had guessed some of it before, he did not expect that his superior would be so generous this time.

A total of six artillery battalions bombarded the positions of an enemy battalion with all their might.

Such a scene is absolutely unprecedented.

In Lao Li's words, I have never fought such a battle for wealth in my entire life.

Yu Congrong was also surprised and said: "With such fierce artillery fire, how many shells will be wasted."

Li Guotao smiled and said, "You are a typical example of someone who is afraid of being poor."

"Our goal this time is to quickly eliminate this battalion of American troops and demonstrate our strength to the American troops."

"We must cut the Gordian knot and quickly wipe out this battalion of theirs." "The most important thing is not to wipe out this battalion of theirs, but to show the enemy our strength and gain more bargaining chips at the negotiation table. Its strategic significance far exceeds its tactical significance, so it is worth wasting some shells."

Yu Congrong pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "You are still very insightful!"

"Our tanks are coming!"

At this time, a soldier on the position shouted excitedly.

Li Guotao quickly stood up and came to the side position. Sure enough, he saw a row of tanks on the road in the distance, slowly driving towards this side along the road.

Li Guotao quickly raised the telescope and observed carefully.

"Is it our tank? It's a T34/85 tank."

"Holy crap! There seem to be more than thirty T34s."

“The ones at the back are bigger!”

"This is?"

"It's the 1S-2 heavy tank!"

"We have a big guy like this too!"

“Is that one behind also a tank?”

"To be precise, it's not called a tank, it's called a SU-122 self-propelled artillery."

Li Guotao was also shocked. There were more than 34 T85/122 tanks, six heavy tanks, and four SU- self-propelled artillery.

This is not a tank battalion at all!

This is the equipment of a tank regiment!
Yes, this is indeed a tank regiment of the Volunteer Army Armored Forces.

In addition to the six artillery battalions, the superiors also transferred a whole tank regiment. Of course, the number of tanks equipped by a tank regiment of the Volunteer Army is naturally incomparable to that of a tank regiment of the US Army.

But for such a tank regiment, dealing with an American infantry battalion is a piece of cake.

Although this US military battalion was also equipped with a batch of tanks, the quantity and quality could not be compared with that of the Volunteer Army's tank regiment.

With so many tanks, dealing with this American force would be a piece of cake.

Li Guotao sighed helplessly and said, "Hey! We were planning to do a great job before, but now we don't have a chance to show off at all."

Yu Congrong nodded and said, "I think so. If we follow behind, we will probably only be able to drink a mouthful of soup, and forget about eating meat."

Li Guotao changed his mind and felt relieved. He smiled and said, "But we have to gradually adapt to it. This is called modern warfare."

Yu Congrong smiled and said, "Now we have upgraded our weapons to new ones. Will the American army camp across the street be beaten to a pulp?"

Li Guotao suddenly remembered something, frowned and said: "But we can't be careless!"

Li Guotao said this and looked up at the sky.

Yu Congrong immediately reacted and asked, "Are you worried about the enemy's planes?"

Li Guotao said: "After all, it is daytime now. The enemy can call for aircraft support, and the enemy's aircraft will arrive soon."

"But since the superiors dare to do this, they must have made some preparations."

……

At this moment, in the enemy's headquarters, Lieutenant Colonel Wright shouted angrily: "Where are our planes? Why haven't they arrived yet!"

"If they don't come, we will all be blown to death by the enemy!"

"Send another telegram, requesting air force support, and bomb the enemy's artillery positions for me."

"If you dare to attack in the daytime without air superiority, you are courting death!"

"Let these ignorant fellows understand one thing: this is not how modern warfare is fought."

"Yes sir!"
