094 Chapter Ninety-Four: Shelling

The peak where the No. 2 tunnel is located is more than 2,000 meters above sea level, and there is a ravine dozens of miles long more than 1,000 meters down the mountain, which is the military demarcation line between the wolf army and the mercenary alliance. The main body of the No. 2 tunnel is about 500 meters away from the top of the mountain, facing the wolf army side of the two branch exits, one left and one right are about 200 meters apart, and the left position is higher, only more than 300 meters away from the top of the mountain. The position on the right is lower, more than 500 meters from the top of the mountain. There are two surface positions at the exit of these two branches, which are condescendingly and control most of the ravine.

Because the location of these two surface positions is very important, the Wild Wolf Army has tried to take it down many times, but because the tunnels of the positions run through the mountain, which can effectively prevent artillery bombardment, and the reinforcements and materials are constantly replenished from the base, so they have not been able to succeed. It was necessary to build several artillery positions on the ridges of the mountains two or three kilometers opposite to suppress these two surface positions.

Normally, there are only a few observation posts on the surface position, but after years of confrontation, in recent years, the Wild Wolf Army has only fired a few cannons every New Year's holiday to show its existence, and the two sides are safe and sound on weekdays. Slowly, the weeds around the trenches grew more and more luxuriant, and the vines crawled all over the civil fortifications, and from a distance, the position had merged with the green hills, and it was difficult to distinguish them. Back then, the animals that had been scared away by the war also slowly returned, and some small birds even built nests in trees not far from the position.

At this moment, a pangolin emerged from the grass next to the position, crawled to the edge of the trench, stretched out its head to look to the left and right, and a trench was covered with grass, and the soil on the side of the trench was soft and suitable. It seemed to like it, and climbed down from the trench and dug a hole in one side of the trench. It has four sharp claws on its two forelimbs, and it can enter two or three centimeters when it into the soil, which is very suitable for digging. It dug its ass and gouged around the trench for a while, and in a moment it dug a small hole and poked into the small half of its body.

More than ten meters behind the pangolin, there is a bush of lush honeysuckle, full of small golden flowers, very beautiful. Under the green leaves of the honeysuckle, a small square wooden hole can be faintly seen, and two pairs of eyes are staring closely at the pangolin's every move. It turned out to be a semi-underground fortification of the Confederate forces, and the upper part of the fortification was already covered with honeysuckle.

Inside the fortifications, a very low voice said: "We are digging a hole in the pangolin, we quietly went over and caught it, and we can improve our lives today."

Another voice was saying, "Wait a little longer, wait until it digs a little deeper, and its whole body is in, let's block the hole and catch turtles in an urn!" ”

Another whispered, "Good! Although his voice was low, it could not hide his excitement and anticipation. Since the Wolf Army has stopped attacking this position in recent years, the soldiers have dealt with animals far more often than they have with the Wolf Army.

The pangolin dug very quickly, and in less than five minutes, a small hole tens of centimeters long was dug out, and the whole body went in, leaving only the small half of the tail outside.

A very low voice in the fortifications said, "Almost, right? When he digs a little deeper, it will be difficult to catch, and he will have to dig with a hoe! ”。

Another voice is saying, "Okay, action!" ”

The dirt slope next to the honeysuckle was a green turf, and at this moment, I saw that the turf suddenly cracked a crack, and slowly unfolded outward, revealing a door, which turned out to be a door camouflaged by turf. A soldier's head peeked out of the crack in the door, tiptoeing to open a military coat that seemed to be ready to be unfolded and pounce on the pangolin.

Half of his body had just come out of the door, when suddenly, there were two loud bangs from the opposite mountain, and a sharp sound of breaking the air was heard in the sky, whistling from the opposite mountain beam. The soldier who had just stepped out of the door with one foot retracted again, pulled the door shut with a bang, squatted on the ground with his hands over his ears, and shouted: "It's not good, the wolf army is a cannon again!" ”

The pangolin, which was digging a hole, also heard a strange sound in the sky, and it hurriedly burrowed its whole body into the small hole, and turned around in the small hole, poked out half of its head and looked at the sky uneasily, only to see a few small black spots in the sky, with a sharp whistling sound falling rapidly to the ground, what is that? It didn't know, it only knew that it was something that scared it, it turned around and wanted to drill into the small hole, saying that it was too late, it was fast, the black spot had smashed to the top of the trench, there was a loud bang, the ground shook, a fireball exploded with thick smoke, the yellow mud in the sky was thrown into the air, the trees and flowers next to it were instantly swallowed up by the fireball, the trench stepped down a section, and the pangolin that had just hid in the small hole was buried inside, and life and death were unknown.

In the fortifications not far away, the dirt on the surrounding walls fell off with a clatter, and the two soldiers were sprinkled with their heads and faces. The heads of the two soldiers were buzzing, and they felt as if they had been stuffed into a cowhide war drum, and someone outside was beating the war drum so violently that their chests were sick. After a while, feeling better, a soldier scolded: "Today is not a holiday, what kind of cannon are you shooting, wild wolf?" I don't know the rules! ”

Before the words fell, there was another rapid whistling sound in the sky, and he hurriedly stopped, covered his ears with his hands, opened his mouth, and squatted on the ground. In the blink of an eye, the rumbling sound outside the fortifications was incessant, and the earth shook as if it had a disease of swinging. Inside the fortifications, bursts of flash from the explosions shone through the observation ports of the fortifications, and with each flash, the earth shook, and the rumble slammed into the soldier's chest, and the soldier felt that something hot was about to erupt out of his chest. On the surrounding walls, before the mud and dust that had fallen off before they had fallen to the ground, the earth shook violently again, and even more violent dirt fell down again. The top of the fortifications was made of bucket-sized logs covered with more than a meter of earth, and it was shaking violently at the moment, as if it was preparing for takeoff.

The observation post of the No. 2 tunnel, not far from this fortification, hurriedly reported the situation upwards, and General Xiaohong soon learned of the situation. At the same time, he wondered in his heart, this is at least four 105 heavy guns fired rapidly, and the wolf army has not done this for a long time, why is it today?

Almost at the same time, the Ziyan base was also shelled, two shells hit the kitchen, and the four large gas cylinders placed on one side of the kitchen were detonated, and the explosion caused a thick fire and billowing smoke, and the tables and chairs flew around with sparks, and the cardboard box next to it was set on fire, and in the ruins, more and more flames and smoke columns appeared.

200 meters away is an air-raid shelter, and General Xiaohong is standing quietly behind the observation gate, silently observing everything that is happening at the base. Seven or eight soldiers rushed out of the smoke, two of them carrying fire extinguishers and spraying into the flames, others carrying buckets and rushing to the fire pool not far away. The fire was too big, and the fire extinguisher was too small, so only a few small fires around it were extinguished, and the fire extinguisher was empty. At this time, the other six soldiers carrying water had already run back, but the fire was too fierce, and the heat wave hit their faces, so they didn't dare to get too close, and they were still four or five meters away, so they poured the water in the bucket into the fire. The distance was a bit far, more than half of the water fell to the ground halfway through, and the water poured into the fire was too little, and bursts of hookah and dust came out, and the fire did not decrease.

The soldiers were not discouraged, carrying buckets, turned their heads and ran towards the fire pool, when two more sharp whistling were heard overhead, and another shell was fired.

"Lie down!" The leading soldier screamed and fell to the ground at once, and the other soldiers fell to the ground almost at the same moment, and only five or six buckets of water clattered into the distance in the empty street.

Two black dots, with a sharp whistling sound, crossed the mountains to the west and fell sharply towards the base. When it was still about 20 meters away from the ground, it exploded with a bang, like two fireworks on the night of Xu Xi, after a ball of fire exploded, countless shrapnel shot in all directions. Some shrapnel shot straight to the ground like an arrow, some shrapnel shot into the distance with Mars like a meteor, and some shrapnel shot into the air and then fell to the ground in a graceful parabola. General Xiao Hong's face behind the observation port of the air-raid shelter was iron-blue, and it was another hateful volley explosion!

The eight soldiers lying on the street were hit almost simultaneously, some of them had several columns of blood rushing out of their backs, blood flowing from the corners of their mouths, and they were unable to speak with a hehe sound in their throats. Someone was hit by shrapnel in the thigh and couldn't help but roll and wail. There are also people who don't move when their heads are tilted, and they can't see where they are hurt, but they must have been sacrificed.

General Xiao Hong, who was standing behind the observation gate, couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted to the sentry next to him: "You guys go and save people!" ”

The sentinels woke up in shock, and seven or eight people in hula ran out into the middle of the street. They were followed by three paramedic in white coats.

General Xiaohong said to the correspondent next to him: "Go, call all the cadres above the company level to my office for a meeting, and if you don't knock out the artillery positions of the Wild Wolf Army, you won't be able to live this day!" ”

At this moment, on the artillery position of the Wild Wolf Army, seven kilometers away from the Ziyan base, Colonel Jiao Ling was observing the two surface positions of the mercenary alliance through a telescope, only to see thick smoke billowing from the positions, flashing the bright light of explosions from time to time. A sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he said in his heart: "Lao Hong, don't think that if you rob hundreds of millions, you can hide back in the mountains to enjoy Qingfu, this time I will tell you to go around without eating!" ”

The rumbling shelling in his ears stopped for a while, and the colonel said to the staff officer next to him: "You go and tell the artillery position, hurry up and have a few more rounds of rapid fire, if it is too late, I am afraid that someone will come to the door to mediate." In addition, tell the artillery squad that is learning from the Americans, take this good opportunity to shoot a few more artillery shots, and gain a long experience in actual combat! ”

Colonel Jiaoling's worries were not superfluous, and it didn't take long for an acquaintance to call him and ask him why the rumbling of artillery was now sounding again after East Africa had finally won a moment of peace? Colonel Horn replied: "This is a group of bandits who have stormed the city of Galen to rob and kill people. It is the duty of the army to protect the territory and the people, and we are only ordered to suppress bandits, and we have no intention of destroying peace in East Africa! The other party just habitually called on both sides to exercise restraint and negotiate a settlement, and then hung up the phone.

The Horn Commander knew that as soon as the cannon sounded, the pressure would come. But when someone ran to his own defense area to rob and kill people, and he didn't say anything, how could he convince everyone? He was determined to make a time difference before the pressure came, and blast the other party through the scattered pieces. So he dialed the phone of the artillery position and ordered loudly: "Two more rounds of ten rapid fire, and send me the shells out as fast as possible!" ”

A few minutes later, wave after wave of shells were fired at the opposite hill, and the earth trembled slightly, and the whole hill was filled with smoke.
