Chapter 1466: Retreat

It is useless to be afraid or not afraid, what should come will still come, and the sun will still rise the next day.

There was still no news from the airborne division, the radio station never stopped, the signal never came, the Central Security Bureau used all its resources to still not receive any news, and the blockade of the island army was impeccable.

The only news was that the reconnaissance plane was overlooking from a high altitude, and it only knew that the ground in Langfang was a pot of porridge, and the battle was very fierce.

At about 8 o'clock in the morning, Xu Biao's heavy artillery brigade arrived at the front line of Baxian County, and directly pulled to the front line to enter the state to launch a large-scale artillery attack.

The heavy artillery brigade is a strategic-level unit, and if it is not dispatched, it will be a big scene.

Equipped with twenty-four 203mm * guns, thirty-six 122mm cannons, thirty-six 152* guns, and a rapid rocket artillery regiment with eighty rocket launchers.

Except for the rocket artillery, which is independently produced by the 331 base, the rest are all Soviet weapons.

Although the Soviet artillery is simple in design and rough in processing, it has the largest firepower, high actual combat effectiveness, and good reliability, and one of the biggest advantages is that it is simple to maintain, which is very suitable for the national conditions of the Chinese army.

Moreover, under the premise of the same caliber, the Soviet armament has a higher range, more powerful warheads, and more amazing lethality than the artillery of other countries, which is a height that neither the wealthy United States nor the highly accurate Germany can reach.

Therefore, among the materials aided by the Soviet Union in previous times, Jiang Haoran named these weapons, and it is expected that each theater will be equipped with at least one heavy artillery brigade, and only half of them have been reached.

More than 100 huge cannons and fast cannons roared, and the scene was absolutely overwhelming, and the mountains were shaking, which was spectacular.

Jiang Haoran's artillery artillery was all with some modern flavor, extremely barbaric, and their attack was not to hit a point or a position at all, but to plow the ground with shells on an area of a certain width and depth.

Even if it is defensive, it is to block the fortified area with the strongest and most intense fire from artillery.

At this stage, the Mi, German, and daily artillery fire is still used as support firepower, buckle the rope, but Jiang Haoran's artillery definitely uses the artillery as the main force, and it is really a shell that smashes down without money.

Jiang Haoran now has the capital, which is enough for them to squander, who can stand this kind of play.

Ten minutes later, the enemy's air force swarmed in, obviously rushing to relieve pressure on the defensive line, and of course the national army had already made preparations, and planes from more than a dozen nearby airfields all took to the air to meet the enemy, and a large-scale air battle was immediately launched over Baxian, Jinghai, and Dongnan counties.

After experiencing the battle of Southeast County, the air losses of both sides were quite tragic, and the casualties of various types of aircraft were calculated in hundreds, and the disparity in strength between the two sides at this stage was not large, the enemy had strong support from Germany, and the national army had also obtained a large amount of supplements from Mi and Su, which could be regarded as equal in strength.

However, there is still a gap between the national army and the island army in terms of technology, but this gap can also be made up for by the existence of radar aircraft. Therefore, the two sides only fight for the logistical strength after the will to fight, and whoever can hold out until the end will be the winner.

Half an hour after the artillery attack, the Nationalist army began to launch a fierce attack, with two tank divisions and two infantry divisions setting up a powerful offensive formation to attack the enemy's defensive line.

The headquarters of the 13th Group Army has advanced several times overnight, and now it is less than ten miles away from the front line, and Lu Erniu is also fighting this time.

This was his first large-scale campaign as commander of the group army, and he wanted to get off to a good start.

The headquarters was set up in an elm forest, and by late autumn, the elm trees, which were deciduous trees, had only a few light poles left, and enemy planes were still interspersed in the sky from time to time, which seemed to be very dangerous.

But this is not difficult for the sappers, a few camouflage nets, sprinkled with some dead branches and leaves, and the command can be invisible under the high altitude for some minutes.

The key is that this elm forest is still a fairly high slope, and the front edge can be seen at a glance with a telescope.

More than 400 tanks and more than 40,000 soldiers rolled forward under their noses, and the scene was absolutely shocking.

There are also planes shuttling in and out of the critical sky, and there are even air battles from time to time, and artillery fire on the ground is also blooming everywhere, which will bring people a sense of urgency in the shock.

As the national troops advanced, the enemy's defensive line, which had been ploughed by artillery fire, began to come alive, and groups of soldiers seemed to emerge from the ground, and soon filled the entire line.

Soon, the enemy's artillery fire also rekindled, and the dense bullet net frantically smashed on the heads of the soldiers.

"Call the heavy artillery brigade to Lao Tzu and suppress the enemy's artillery fire!" Putting down the binoculars, Lu Erniu turned around and roared.

A staff officer immediately picked up the phone and shouted: "Hey, heavy artillery brigade, commander's order, artillery suppression, yes, comprehensive suppression!" ”

In an instant, in the valley not far from the left front of the headquarters, dense shells began to rise into the air, flying towards the enemy positions with terrifying screams, basically heading towards the enemy's artillery positions.

In the blink of an eye, a rumbling explosion sounded, and the rear of the defense line suddenly turned into a sea of fire, and huge mushroom clouds rose into the sky.

The national tank guns and small-caliber support fire also began to return fire, and the advance continued, and it was noticeably faster than just now.

The enemy on the line also began to open fire, bullets pouring forward, and countless nets of fire were tightly weaved.

"Damn it, none of the enemy's bunkers have been destroyed, and there is such a powerful firepower." Lu Erniu held the binoculars and scolded angrily.

But what frightened him even more was that the area that had just been covered by heavy artillery began to fire again, and the intensity did not decrease in the slightest, and there were even signs of increasing.

At this time, the tank has been pressed on the defensive line, the demining tanks and bulldozers have also begun to work, and the dense sappers began to pour into the "dragon's tooth defense line" to prepare for blasting.

The artillery fire in the rear of the enemy and the frantic machine-gun fire on the front line suddenly turned the national army engineers into live targets, cut in rows, and the tanks and bulldozers that broke into the defense line were overturned and destroyed one by one, and even the tanks and infantry in the rear suffered great casualties.

The enemy's defenses and firepower are beyond imagination.

Lu Erniu was so angry that he even dropped the telescope.

"Commander, withdraw your troops, a strong attack in this situation will not work at all." Su Canwu stood behind Lu Erniu at some point, and said quietly.

"What, retreat?" Lu Erniu glared angrily.

Su Canwu sighed and said: "There are secret passages under the enemy's defense line, all the hidden forts are slightly protruding from the ground, and they are extremely strong, heavy artillery can't destroy them, and their artillery positions have obviously been treated, not to mention the shells, even the heavy aerial bombs have not been able to dig them out." Therefore, with the current style of play, we simply cannot tear through this line of defense. ”

"According to you, we're going to have to throw in the towel?"
