The Thunderbolt Commando and the Lone Wolf Commando brought Jiang Hao the latest information, and the cluster of nearly 100 tanks and an unknown number of anti-aircraft weapons added a lot of difficulty to the next general attack. www.biquge.info Now that the strength of both the enemy and us is clearly placed on the table of their respective commanders, it is obvious that the rebels cannot withstand the powerful offensive of the republican troops, and the logistical support of the republican troops is not comparable to that of the rebels, which is very clear to the commanders of both sides. The only thing the rebels can rely on now is the city of Kashgar in their hands.

The full name of Kashgar is "Kashgar", which means "the place where jade is concentrated", and has a written history of more than 2,000 years. It is also the political, economic, cultural and transportation center of southern Xinjiang, and the largest distribution center for agricultural and animal husbandry products. It is also an important commercial port on the ancient Silk Road, a choke point for East-West transportation and an important meeting point for Eastern and Western economy, culture and civilization.

As a border city in the western part of the Republic, Kashgar City is strategically very important, and the Republic simply does not dare to send a powerful air force to carry out an all-round strategic bombing of Kashgar City, because after all, it is impossible for the Republic to regain control of Kashgar City before it will carry out construction, and this is completely inconsistent with the interests of the Republic. This is a disadvantage on the part of the Republic, and it also gives the rebels a good chance, a chance to fight a big war with the Republic.

DT organization, this is a terrorist organization that has carried out terrorist attacks on the Republic all year round, although in recent years it has disappeared because of the Republic's great efforts to combat terrorist organizations, but Jiang Hao will never doubt the guerrilla warfare ability of the DT organization, not to mention that Jiang Hao believes that in the past few years when they have disappeared, they will definitely further strengthen their training in this area, so Jiang Hao can be very sure that the rebels will definitely fight with their own teams in the streets, this is the advantage of the rebels, there is no reason why they do not take advantage of this advantage. Now the advantages and disadvantages of both sides are very obvious, and the rest depends on the combat effectiveness of the respective troops.

Time passed slowly, and the time for the general attack was getting closer and closer, no one noticed that sweat appeared in Jiang Hao's palms, and Jiang Hao, who was sitting in the front-line headquarters, was a little nervous. Yes, Jiang Hao was a little nervous at this time, which was incredible for Jiang Hao. Even if Jiang Hao encountered great difficulties in the mission, he had never been so nervous as he was now, this was Jiang Hao's first time commanding a real large-scale war, and everyone would be nervous, but Jiang Hao didn't show it. In the eyes of others in the command, with the advent of the general attack time, Jiang Hao's expression did not fluctuate at all, which had to make others in the command admire Jiang Hao's psychological quality.

At seven o'clock in the morning, all the front-line troops were on standby, and they had made their final preparations, just waiting for Jiang Hao's final order. As time progressed, the atmosphere on the frontline positions became more and more solemn, and even the weather became gloomy, which seemed to be paving the way for the upcoming big war.

At half past seven in the morning, the Thunderbolt Commando and the Lone Wolf Commando sent the last information before the start of the big war. Intelligence shows that due to the good secrecy work done on the Republic's side, the rebels are completely unaware of the imminent general offensive on the Republic's side, which to a large extent gives the Republic's front-line troops an opportunity, a blatant sneak attack.

Front-line command, eight o'clock in the morning.

"Attack! The artillery shelling lasted for half an hour, and the artillery fire extended after half an hour!" Jiang Hao gave the first official order of the day. At the same time, the military commanders of the various units in the front-line positions who were on high demand also gave the order to attack.

The artillery units of the front-line positions began to cover the rebel positions, and countless shells were fired from the guns and fell on the rebels' forward positions. For a moment, the entire battlefield was covered by the rumbling sound of shell explosions, and the sound of explosions spread far, far away. Countless shells exploded at the same time in the forward positions of the rebels, and even Jiang Hao, who was in the front line headquarters, could clearly feel the earth vibrating. The electronic map in the headquarters shows the ferocity of the artillery fire of the front-line troops very well, and the red dots on the electronic map continue to disappear under the cover of artillery fire, which means that the strongholds of the rebels in the front-line positions have been destroyed by artillery fire.

During the first artillery cover, the rebels were frightened by what they saw. The shells kept falling on the rebels' positions as if they were not asking for money, and the rebels were blinded by the artillery shelling of the Republican artillery units. Many of those who had just joined the rebels did not know what to do when they were shelled, and stood still. I didn't know what I should do until someone next to me reminded me.

The rebel front-line position, a rebel who was stunned by the shelling of the Republic's front-line troops, stood in his position in a daze, completely forgetting that he should find a place to hide at this moment to avoid the shelling of the Republic's artillery troops. And there happened to be a rebel with regular military training beside him, and watching his dumbfounded comrade-in-arms suddenly reach out and pull him, motioning for him to lie down, but before the two of them could hide, the next round of shelling followed. The two rebels who had delayed the best time to dodge were at the impact point of the runway, and the two rebels were shattered by the shells that had just fallen. This scene happened in the forward positions of the rebels, and this is not the only one, many rebels were killed and injured because they did not have time to react.

…………

The temporary headquarters of the rebels in Kashgar, Zamuhe, sat in front of the map as if he was stunned by the sudden shelling. Zamuhe definitely didn't expect the Republic to attack at this time, so he didn't react for a while. In Zamuhe's opinion, the Republic will definitely choose to attack at night, and Zamuhe also knows the Republic troops very well, the Republic troops are definitely a force that is good at fighting field battles, and it is easier to cause excessive casualties to the troops when attacking during the day, after all, the defending side has more advantages.

Zamuhe is also the leader of a terrorist organization is not really frightened, Zamuhe quickly reacted that this is the beginning of the Republic to attack, and it is not an ordinary attack, it should be prepared to launch a total of artillery fire.

The sudden shelling of the Republic's front-line troops made it clear to all the rebel leaders that the Republic had begun to prepare for an attack, and several leaders quickly went to the temporary headquarters to discuss how to respond to the Republic's attack. None of the figures who could become the leaders of the rebels were fools, and this was clearly a prelude to the start of the offensive of the republican troops. (To be continued.) )
