Chapter 673: Rolling Thunder
The 18th transport plane began to drop bombs, and the artillery inside and outside the valley of the Tiance Army also began to speak, and mortars and self-propelled howitzers opened fire fiercely, throwing fire on the rebels on the hill.
For a time, all the mountains in the Fuyu area burst into flames, gunsmoke rose everywhere, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
The rebels finally reacted, and what flew from the sky was not the Almighty Lord, but the impermanence of life. But they didn't know how to dodge the shells at all, they just ran around aimlessly.
In this era, there are already flowering bombs, but because they are black powder bombs, they are not very powerful and have high costs, so they are not widely used. Many of the rebels had never seen a flowering bullet, and no one would do this kind of action of crawling down, and the only thing they could do was to run around.
Carpet bombardment in the air, dense rain-like shells under the mountain kept flying, and the hills in the Ukiwa area soon boiled.
At the same time, the 4th and 5th brigades of the Tiance Army led the other four brigades of the public security army to adopt a situation of outflanking left and right and attacked the mountain.
"Quick, quickly inform the kings, charge into the valley, and kill the part of the Tiance army in the valley first." Dongwang An, who was dazed by the shells, knew that the plan of the rebel army had failed, and the Tiance army had discovered them.
The best choice now is to eat a part of the Tiance Army first, after all, the rebel army has an absolute advantage.
"Woo, woo!" The horn of the attack sounded, which was the rhythm of the horn agreed with the kings in advance, and it was the order to attack into the valley.
The mountain had been blown into a pot of porridge, and when the kings heard the agreed clarion call, they also knew that they could no longer stay on the mountain and be bombed, so they ordered their subordinates to launch an attack on the second brigade Zhou Yansuo at the bottom of the mountain.
The combat intention of the Second Brigade and the other two public security brigades was to blossom in the middle, attract the main force of the rebel army, and launch an attack in other directions at any time according to the changes in the battlefield.
Moreover, most of the artillery also followed Zhou Yan's headquarters into the valley to facilitate accurate artillery bombardment on the hills. Tiance Army has strong firepower, advanced communication and contact, and does not worry about being wrapped dumplings at all, which reflects the bold style of the art masters.
The rebels received the order to attack the valley, and rushed down from the mountain with shouts, intending to kill Zhou Yan's troops.
However, the current situation is very different from what the rebel base camp expected before the war.
The rebels were forced to go into battle in a hurry, and the speed at which the kings and their subordinates descended the mountain varied.
Coupled with the heavy bombardment, the losses of soldiers were heavy and morale was low.
The biggest blow to the morale of the rebels was that the thunder rolling from the sky actually came to punish them, which was difficult for many rebels to accept.
Therefore, the team of the rebels charging down the mountain was not at all imposing, but more like coping with errands, or dodging the unbearable bombardment.
"Shoot!"
"Da-da, da-da-da!"
"All the same, all the same!"
With the order to shoot, Type 95 automatic rifles, Type 56 submachine guns, and Type 85 heavy machine guns fired fiercely at the rebels who were shouting in all directions.
From a distance of 500 meters, the heavy machine guns began to fire at a distance, and when they entered 400 meters, it turned into a strafing mode, and various automatic weapons opened fire one after another.
The heavy machine gun fire points of the Tiance Army were piled up with sandbags, and crossfire was adopted.
The infantry, on the other hand, fired from their stomachs in bunkers, shallow trenches dug by sappers with thick layers of earth piled up on top. This was the first trench operation in the actual combat of the Tiance Army, and the sapper shovel finally came in handy.
There are so many uses for the sapper shovel, it can usually open cans, dig wild vegetables during picnics, and can also be used as a pan, when camping, it can dig a nest in the ground, and it is also a big killer when it is close to each other.
Today, the sapper shovel was turned into a regular, mainly to prevent possible rifle fire from the rebels.
The guns of the Tiance Army were as dense as bursting beans, and the rebels armed with Type 37 rifles were the focus of attention, and they were first named.
Before they reached the best distance for the platoon of guns, they had already been beaten in pieces, seeing that their comrades continued to fall, some of the rebels hurriedly opened fire, but in the face of the soldiers of the Tiance Army hiding in the bunker, their shooting was useless, and then a dense number of bullets came, and they also fell helplessly into the dust.
The dense bullets in front of the Tiance army cut through the air, whining and whistling.
The rebels were knocked down by the bullets that flew like splashing water, like cutting wheat, and the blood flowers continued to bloom on the chests of the rebel soldiers, bursting out of blood due to blood pressure, and in the line of 200 meters, it turned into a blood mist.
The smell of blood was so thick that it seemed to be coming out of the air.
In just a few minutes, in a circular circle around Zhou Yan's headquarters, fifty or sixty thousand volunteers had fallen in a pool of blood. Densely packed corpses, scattered around, blood flowing like a river.
The rebels running in front were too dense, and many riflemen attacked in a queue, because this was exactly the formation in which the musketeers exerted their greatest power, and as a result, they became the target of the Tiance army.
The rebels who rushed over afterwards were stunned when they saw the scene in front of them, it was really tragic.
The follow-up rebels were a little at a loss, looking at the battlefield in front of them like the Shura field, hesitating and not knowing whether to attack or retreat, because of the bombardment on the mountain just now, their courage to not fear death had been worn off.
The rebels in front hesitated, and the follow-up rebels continued to come, gradually gathering more and more, and slowly gathered into a circle of onlookers, like people eating melons.
"Yaga, what are you doing? Why don't you rush forward? If you don't rush, get out of the way, and let us join forces!" A volunteer leader jumped to his feet behind the crowd and cursed.
Under the curse of the leader of the rebel army, the melon-eating crowd silently made way of a passage.
"Kill, give!" Passing through the crowd, the leader of the rebels waved his command knife and gave the order to attack.
"Kill, give!" The 3,000 rebels rushed towards the Tiance army 500 meters away under the command of the leader of the rebel army.
Their path was littered with dead bodies and blood, which made their attacking stance a bit comical, as many of them were slippery under their feet, making it difficult for them to hold their feet.
The 3,000 rebels attacked dozens of meters deep and shallow, and the heavy machine guns on the opposite side went off, and then attacked dozens of meters forward, and all kinds of automatic weapons also fired one after another.
These rebels only ran within 300 meters before they fell to the ground one after another, and after more than ten seconds, the Tiance army stopped shooting, and the battlefield fell into a brief silence, and the 3,000 rebels were all wiped out.
The melon-eating crowd showed a horrified expression, the Tiance Army was too efficient in killing people.
The Tiance Army was destined not to let them act as a melon-eating crowd all the time, and then the cannonballs whistled and fell into the crowd.
