Chapter 352: Bombarding the Huashan Defensive Position

The entire front battlefield was split into two halves because of the Panlong River.

Therefore, there are the eastern battlefield and the western battlefield.

The eastern battlefield has an area of ​​400 square kilometers, two-thirds of which are under the control of our army. In the past few years, we have repelled 7 division-scale counterattacks and more than 1,700 regiment and battalion counterattacks from the enemy here.

The western battlefield has an area of ​​3,000 square kilometers, including Balihe Mountain, Zheyin Mountain, Koulin Mountain, Luojiaping, etc. At present, as the front line advances, one-third is under the control of our army.

This time, the "Hu Ben Battalion" was assigned to the western battlefield.

There are only two regiments with more than 2,000 people in the eastern battlefield, but in the western battlefield, the number of troops exceeds 25,000.

The division headquarters is also set up in the eastern battlefield.

4:30 in the morning.

When people are most tired in the day.

Li Xinghua looked at the watch on his wrist, showing a serious look.

When the pointer moved to 4:30 in the morning.

"Fire!"

As the order was issued.

Heavy equipment such as the Type 80 main battle tanks and Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, as long as they have guns, fired almost at the same time.

"Boom~Boom~Boom~"

Shells of different calibers, with anger towards the enemy, were quickly fired from the barrels and fiercely rushed towards the enemy's defensive positions.

The firepower of a heavy synthetic battalion now even exceeds that of the 1st Division!

The 1st Division may be reluctant to use artillery shells because it is difficult to transport artillery to the battlefield.

The Tiger Guard Battalion definitely does not have this problem.

This time, all types of artillery must use up a base number of shells.

In other words, each Type 80 main battle tank must use up 42 125mm shells, and a synthetic battalion of 30 Type 80 main battle tanks will fire 1260 125mm shells.

An artillery company is equipped with two 81-type 122mm self-propelled howitzers, two 120mm self-propelled mortars, one 81-type 122mm self-propelled rocket launcher, and one 82-type 120mm self-propelled mortar. They also have to use up one base of shells, and at the same time, they will replenish shells as soon as possible to provide fire support for the tank company and infantry company's attack.

And this part, the shells to be fired also exceeded 1,500 shells of various calibers.

"Load now!"

The shells began to be loaded continuously.

Soon, the shells were loaded.

The artillery company continued to provide artillery support.

"Woo woo woo~~~"

Huashan defensive position.

When a faint roar came from the sky, the hand-cranked air defense alarm arranged on the position sounded shrilly.

"Everyone enter the fortifications and avoid being attacked!"

The commanders of each unit gave orders while drilling into the cat ear hole.

"Boom boom~~"

The shells fell to the ground and continued to explode.

Many people were killed before they woke up.

There is a battalion of troops here, defending the entire Huashan defensive position.

Originally, they should have a reinforced regiment, but in the previous battle, they lost four battalions. Now their strength is too short and they have not had time to replenish.

"Boom boom boom ~~~"

The entire defensive position, shells fell one after another, blowing the entire defensive position to pieces.

Many people were scared and cried, their faces turned pale and trembling.

Dense shells fell to the ground, and a large area was blown up. How could this scene not be scary!

Three tanks moved together, separated the formation, and attacked the Huashan defensive position.

No matter how fierce the artillery firepower is, it is difficult to wipe out the enemy.

In the face of solid and complete fortifications, saturation bombardment cannot directly destroy all enemies.

Even the solid fortifications specially built by Annan cannot be destroyed.

These fortifications cannot be removed with ordinary shells, but must be removed one by one with special shells.

This is the trouble with these fortifications.

The enemy has deployed more than 100,000 troops in the entire defense line, and there are more than 100,000 reserve troops behind.

Because the strategic position of this area is too important, Annan dreams of taking it back.

Otherwise, once it is lost, things will be serious.

This is why the war here has never stopped in recent years.

It is not so easy to just take back the lost land.

In recent years, they have paid a heavy price. Not only did they fail to take back the lost land, but they also lost a lot of high ground.

In Huangshupi County, there is a regiment of troops here, supporting the defense forces in the direction of Huashan at any time.

The regiment headquarters is only 10 kilometers away from Huashan.

"Who can tell me why there is such a large-scale artillery saturation attack on our defense positions? Where are the scouts? They reported to me yesterday that there was no abnormality in the enemy in this area? The enemy will not launch an attack in the next few days!" Listening to the sound of artillery from a distance, the regiment commander Li Guang's face was ashen, and he roared at his men with a distorted face.

According to intelligence, the enemy is now in the period of changing troops. As long as they don't attack, the enemy will not take the initiative to attack.

Other directions have already exchanged fire, but this area was calm yesterday.

The reconnaissance results of the scouts also showed that the enemy should not launch an attack within three days.

Li Guang was very angry. He didn't know how much damage the Huashan defense position would suffer if the enemy suddenly launched an attack at this time, and how long it could last.

No matter how strong the fortifications are, they will suffer a lot if they are bombarded.

Just by listening to the sound of the artillery, Li Guang also knew that it was a large-caliber artillery.

He was very angry and confused, wondering how the other party transported the large-caliber cannon to the battlefield.

You must know that the roads in this mountainous area are rugged. It is not easy to transport cannons, and it is also difficult to avoid detection.

Li Guang would not have thought that this was a heavy-duty combined brigade equipped with tracked self-propelled guns.

Although limited by the mountainous terrain, the role of tanks and armored vehicles is limited and weakened, and the role they can play is far less than that of the north.

If the Annan army has powerful anti-tank guns or anti-tank missiles, it can cause huge damage to tanks and armored vehicles.

It's a pity that Annan's army does not have such a weapon.

In this case, no matter how slow the tracked tanks and armored vehicles are, they are still faster than people launching an attack.

He even dared to launch an attack despite the enemy's artillery fire, without fear of the enemy's artillery fire.

"Send troops immediately to support Huashan!" Li Guang gave the order.

The chief of staff hesitated for a moment and said, "Captain, the duty of our regiment is to guard Huangshupi County. If we send troops to support, Huangshupi County does not have enough troops, and it is inevitable that the enemy will spy on them."

"If Huangshupi County falls, we will be responsible." The chief of staff said. Huangshupi County is a mountainous county. It is also the only county in this area and is connected to Qingmen County through mountain roads and shipping.

Once Huangshupi County is lost, the surrounding defenders will have to retreat because there will be no supplies, no ammunition supplies, and no material supplies.

"Once Huashan is lost, Huangshupi County will be difficult to defend!" Li Guang said solemnly.

Although there are still many positions in the surrounding areas that are in the hands of Annan's army, once they are torn open, Huangshupi County will be under the opponent's artillery fire.

This is just like Ha Giang City. Because of the defeat on the battlefield ahead, the opponent set up cannons on the top of the mountain, directly putting Ha Giang City within the range of the cannons, and through the observation post, they could control the initiative on the battlefield at any time.

Annan's army, on the other hand, had no secrets at all. It was passive no matter how hard it fought. It simply suffered repeated defeats. It had never won a battle in the eastern battlefield.

Even before, the opponent had a classic defensive counterattack, and it also took place on the Eastern battlefield.
