Chapter 356 Artillery Counterattack
Half an hour after the first round of artillery fire from Dragon Country was launched, the counterattack fire from Rogue Eagle and the coalition forces finally arrived.

In the sky, red shells were flying everywhere. After the artillery radar lurking on the front line detected the shells fired from the Rogue Eagle position, the radar vehicle made a series of beeping sounds, indicating that enemy shells were incoming. The screen began to flash continuously, and based on the detected enemy ballistic information, it began to reversely infer the position of the artillery.

Soon, the precise location coordinates of a densely packed row of cannons appeared on an artillery radar. Two radar soldiers nervously reported the latest location information of the enemy artillery positions through the walkie-talkie. The two took turns reporting and correcting, and quickly passed it on to the commanders of the 122 rocket launchers and 107 rocket launchers not far away.

They began to assign tasks according to the distance. In less than a minute, they completed the task of assigning tasks to the direction and angle adjustment of the rocket launcher. A round of anti-artillery strike was completed within 3 minutes!

The 122 rocket launcher has a range of up to 20 kilometers and can easily reach any artillery target of the enemy on the front line.

The improved 107 rocket launcher has a new range of rockets, which increases the range to 12 kilometers. This will cause fatal damage to the 75mm mountain artillery and 105mm howitzers deployed on the front line of the Rogue Eagle Coalition.

Soon, after firing a round of rockets, the anti-artillery team at the front began to move their positions.

After arriving at the new location, they began to intensively carry out the work of assembling artillery shells along with the team's supply artillery transport vehicles. As the main force of the front-line counterattack artillery, each anti-artillery squad carried artillery supplies for 5 salvos, plus their own rockets, each squad had the ability to fire 6 salvos!

For a battle, this equipment is barely enough.

"What? The positions of our six artillery battalions were destroyed at once?!" When Major General Kaiser of the 6nd Infantry Division of Rogue Eagle heard the feedback from the artillery, his head was buzzing and his CPU almost crashed.

They had just counterattacked and fired the first round of test shells, and had not even had time to correct the aim, when they were suddenly destroyed.

Could it be that there was a traitor who informed the enemy of the artillery position? !
This is impossible!
Major General Kaiser took several deep breaths to calm down. The defense line he was responsible for had only 15 artillery battalions, and 40% of them were destroyed in one fell swoop. The most important thing was that he had no idea why these artillery positions were destroyed so quickly.

If the reason is not clear, the artillery will basically not dare to go out again. Given the current tense situation on the front line, if they lose the support of the artillery, they will basically lose half their lives!
"It was destroyed by the enemy's rocket launcher. We suspect that the enemy has mastered a mysterious weapon that can accurately locate artillery positions, because the artillery positions that were destroyed this time were all artillery that had just opened fire." The combat staff analyzed calmly and almost found out the truth of the matter.

"Every position was hit by devastating rocket artillery attacks, including 122mm rockets and 107mm rockets. It was definitely the enemy's mobile rocket artillery units."

After listening to this, Major General Kaiser closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before opening them. "Can you find the approximate location of the rocket artillery unit they sent out?"

"General, it's difficult, but they should be somewhere on the front line, a few kilometers away from our position. Because the range of the 107mm rocket launcher is limited, they must get close to the front line to have a chance to hit our artillery positions." The combat staff officer was obviously smart and quickly analyzed the general situation.

"Send the M3 Armored Company to search for them!" Major General Kaiser said without hesitation, "They must be moving along the highway, so we won't have too many areas to search. Find them and kill them!"

"Also, order all tank battalions to enter combat readiness. Once enemy tanks appear on the front lines, immediately rush forward to eliminate them!"

After reinforcement, the Rogue Eagle's 200nd Infantry Division alone had more than 26 M46 and M2 heavy tanks. The John Bull and Chicken Brigade also had a light tank company respectively. Together with the Confederate Army's two M4 Sherman tank battalions, Major General Keiser had more than 300 tanks of various types.

This is a huge armored force. After the Incheon landing, so many tanks were enough to sweep across the north and almost wiped out the northern army. If the Volunteer Army was a few days later, they could have fully joined forces at the Yalu River!
Major General Kaiser didn't think about so many things at the moment. He was considering whether to ask for help from the headquarters of the front-line command.

But now he is completely in the dark. He has no idea who his opponent is or how many troops and armored forces they have. This is the most terrifying thing: facing a completely unknown opponent, you don’t even know what kind of power they possess!

However, Major General Kaiser did not forget the lessons of the 24th Division.

After all, to the north of Bochuan, the bloodstains have not yet dried!
On the front line, in front of the east position, the assault infantry battalion had approached the Rogue Eagle Coalition's position about one kilometer away. At this moment, they were all lying on the ground, waiting for the shelling to end.

In this attack, Ding Wei's 178th Division was in the west, Zhang Dabiao's 100th Division was in the middle, and Shen Quan's 101st Division was in the east.

The rest of the divisions served as reserves, and after these three divisions broke through the defense line, their mission was to bypass the positions here and attack the next plain defense line of the Rogue Eagle Alliance!
After Zhang Dabiao and his men finish their mission, they will simply replenish their ammunition and rest, then they will launch a surprise attack on Pingcheng after breaking through Pingyuan’s defense line!
They used a wave-like tactic, with wave after wave moving southwards, giving the rogue Eagle Alliance no chance to breathe!

The 16th and 18th Armies advanced alternately, with the 38th and 40th Armies ready to fill in the gaps at any time from behind, while at the same time controlling the newly captured railway trunk lines to safeguard the logistics lifeline.

In this chain of battles, the biggest pressure now lies on the Air Force!

Because the Rogue Eagle's air force is still far greater than the Dragon Country's air force, at least in terms of numbers, it is suppressed by multiples.

Therefore, in the Zhisi, the brigade commander is most concerned about the latest intelligence information from radar scanning.

Of course, it was still late at night, and the Rogue Eagle's air force did not yet have the capability to fight around the clock, so the sky was basically clear.

There is no technical means to observe and confirm the information of the troop bombardment and the results of the anti-artillery unit. We can only report our losses. However, since the bombardment began one hour ago, the enemy's artillery counterattack lasted only one round, and the losses caused to our artillery can be almost ignored. The effect of the anti-artillery team seems to be very good.

The artillery radar that Li Yunlong and his men had replaced this time had a miraculous effect in this battle. At least it had frightened the artillery of the rogue Eagle Alliance so much that they dared not open fire.

"Our artillery must not be careless. After completing an hour of shelling, we must move our positions." Chief Zhisi pointed to the front-line map. "After an hour of shelling, the shells have hit two base points. I think we can launch an attack now."

Chief Zhisi had never fought such a rich war before, but he was a little unhappy when he saw the consumption of artillery shells. In just one hour, all the artillery shells he had used to command battles were fired!

With such a huge consumption, Chief Zhisi felt a little overwhelmed.
