The offensive of the US Eighth Army began.

Unlike in the past, after one or two rounds of artillery preparation, the client state troops who followed the main force of the American army would rush to the volunteer positions for a few rounds.

This time, as soon as the Eighth Army came up, it used all the 12 artillery battalions and 210 artillery pieces of 105mm caliber or more, and desperately bombarded Tieyuan's volunteer positions in the drizzle.

In just one hour, tens of thousands of shells roared and smashed on the defense line of the volunteers, and the rumbling cannons were no longer audible compared to the others, so that people could only feel the ringing of their ears and the shock of an earthquake.

As for the positions of the volunteers that were bombarded, they were like flowers, and clumps of dirt splashed up, and in the blink of an eye, the originally lush hills were pushed bare by tons and tons of ammunition.

Colonel Robin Hood, the commander of the 25th Canadian Brigade, who had just arrived in North Korea and was incorporated into the combat sequence of the Eighth Army, felt this unprecedented spectacular scene, and couldn't help but feel excited, put down the binoculars in his hand and looked at the reporters accompanying the army, Andrew said proudly: "See, this is the best symphony." ”

Andrew is a rookie who has just entered the battlefield, where has he seen such a fierce artillery bombardment, looked at the Tieyuan defense line that was blown up beyond recognition in the distance, and then looked at the artillery positions behind him that had long been buried by brass shells, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva hard: "If you continue to fight like this, won't the ammunition be difficult to continue?" ”

It's no wonder that Andrew is worried, but in this short period of more than an hour, the artillery of the US army has been fighting too fiercely, so that the artillery on each gun position is surrounded by dense shell shells, fortunately, Andrew does not have a phobia of dense, otherwise he will definitely be frightened by the scene in front of him.

But it is precisely because of this that Andrew doubts how long the US army can hold out, after all, the Eighth Army's artillery shells are limited, and if it continues to fight so desperately, will it run out of shells as a result?

"You don't have to worry about that!"

Just when Andrew was puzzled, Colonel Robin Hood said indifferently: "Just half an hour ago, I received a personal letter from General Van Vliet, commander of the Eighth Army, to the whole army, saying that he would use the modern country's sea of fire tactics to completely crush the tactics of the backward China's sea of people, and for this he would use unlimited firepower at any cost until the Chinese in front of him completely submitted, for which he had already reported to General Ridgway to airlift the ammunition stored in Japan to us." ”

"Oh my God! Could it be that General Van Vliet wanted to wipe Tie Yuan off the face of the earth? ”

"Even if it can't be completely erased, it's not too much." Unlike Andrew's surprise, Colonel Robin Hood was fascinated, as if the completely destroyed Tie Yuan Fang was the holy place in his heart, and his eyes were full of anticipation.

As if to confirm Colonel Robin Hood's words, as soon as the artillery fire slowed down the pace of the bombardment, there was a dull roar of engines in the sky, and then a series of ground attack planes full of bombs swooped down from the gloomy sky like locusts.

I only heard a loud "boom~~".

The high ground guarded by the volunteers was like a volcanic eruption, rising into the sky, so that even the rain from the sky could not withstand the rolling heat wave, and it was stagnant, of course, the dead branches and broken grass that survived the intensive artillery fire just now were even more damaged, but in an instant, they were swept into the tornado-like fire waves, turning into ashes that spread across the sky......

After seven or eight rounds of repeated artillery shots, planes, planes, and artillery bombardments, Andrew, who had not yet been shocked by the sight, couldn't help but feel a little numb, and at this time, on the artillery position of the American army, the yellow copper shells were already piled up as high as a hill.

Several U.S. artillerymen not far away shouted from time to time, pushing out a 155mm howitzer with a burst barrel out of the ocean-like shell shell, which was just blown up due to too many shells, Andrew couldn't remember how many shells this gun fired, in short, since the start of the war, it has not stopped for a moment, until the bore is scrapped.

"The amount of ammunition used in this way is far more than the average use in the European theater of World War II."

Colonel Robin Hood, who had previously shown indifference to the fierce firepower of the US army, could not help but show a look of amazement on his face at this time, because the firepower of the US Eighth Army had long exceeded the scope of his imagination, and the kind of continuous bombardment like the coming of the end made him, a bystander, feel palpitations.

Andrew, from the perspective of a professional reporter who is familiar with the war history, nodded very approvingly: "Yes, even the amount of ammunition used this time exceeds the most fierce battles in World War II, and it is no exaggeration to say that General Van Fleet has set a historic record today, setting a new record for the largest amount of ammunition used in military history!" ”

"Van Vliet's ammunition volume, it's a good name, maybe it will go down in history forever!" Colonel Robin Hood said with a smile: "Seriously, I have a little sympathy for the Chinese soldiers on the position, they met a man who used his firepower to change~~!" ~~ General Van Vliet, so it can only be said that it is their great misfortune, but it is a great luck for us. ”

When Andrew heard this, his eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly, although he was on the battlefield for the first time, but as a war correspondent, he had a sharp mind, so before Colonel Robin Hood's words were finished, he immediately heard the sound of the strings, and couldn't help asking: "Colonel, are you going to take the lead?" ”

"No, no, not the lead!" Colonel Robin Hood shook his head, and corrected with full confidence: "It is the situation of an armed march to receive the entire Iron Yuan, you know, under such a fierce fire, there is simply no way that any living creatures can survive!" ”

"But there are still so many countries' armies in the sequence of the Eighth Army, are we ......" Andrew frowned, trying to persuade Colonel Robin Hood not to be this bird, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Robin Hood without care: "Those cowards have long left the courage of soldiers to Antarctica, and they all vainly claim to be meritorious troops in World War II, and they don't even dare to take such an easy victory."

In this case, today we Canadians will use practical actions to show those British, French, Koreans and Americans what it means to be a brave and meritorious army! ”
