Artillery rumbled. In an instant, it easily broke down the attack of the Western Regions Alliance. It was the first time that the Western Regions coalition forces suffered such a heavy artillery attack, and the offensive formation of the coalition forces was hit by double blows from artillery fire and machine guns, and collapsed at once. The guards who were supervising the battle were also strewn with corpses strewn across the field by artillery fire.

After a long series of rapid fire. The front line went into relative silence. The silence on the battlefield is terrible. The war was only temporary.

"Yes. Be. Got it. Sir. "Commands at all levels were ordered to launch a major counteroffensive one after another.

"Order all reserves to move into forward positions. The attack was launched at seven o'clock in the morning. The order was given.

After receiving the order. The reserves rushed into position. The original units began to be replaced. An emergency change of guard was carried out in the narrow trenches.

"A company retreated to the rest area to rest and eat. Three companies entered the position. "The officers kept giving orders to adjust.

In the trenches, two rows of people walked in different directions.

It took an hour and a half later. The change of guard is finally over. To save time. The attacking troops will eat breakfast on the spot. Breakfast was milk, bread, canned beef. These foods are easy to carry and distribute.

And on artillery positions. Horse-drawn wagons transported various shells to artillery positions. Ten minutes of fire was just the beginning. They were to begin at 6:30 a.m. with a heavy shelling that lasted twenty-five minutes. This shelling will last longer than before.

The Celestial Army, on the other hand, began to enter airships on a large scale. The bombing airship squadron began to take off. The boarding of the paratrooper unit began. Everything is going on intensely.

"Didi." The sound of the telegram was constantly beating. As the war unfolded. The communications troops have been busy. They don't just have to give the latest orders accurately. At the same time, it is also necessary to inform the rear of the recent battle situation.

"Sir. Check this out. "The Xianyang Staff Department of the Qin State. A staff officer handed the telegram he had just received to Yang Duanhe, who was on duty.

Yang Duanhe took the telegram and took a quick look. "Get all the operational staff officers in place. Inform General Wang. General Lee. Let's just say that the war is urgent. Yang Duanhe said eagerly.

Soon all operational staff officers began to take their positions. The map has also been replaced with a Western Regions combat map. Staff officers are placing the wargames of various units on the map based on the information provided by the battlefield.

At the same time, it is also conveying the latest situation on the battlefield.

"What's going on?" Wang Jian walked over and asked.

"Look at this." Saying that, Yang Duanhe handed Wang Jian a telegram.

"What's the matter? Could it be ......?" Li Mu walked over as a representative of Zhao Guo and asked.

Wang Jian read it and handed it to Li Mu.

"The latest battle report. Ten minutes of front-line shelling ended. Artillery units are preparing ammunition. Infantry reserves entered the trenches. The staff officer used a microphone to urgently inform him of the latest battle report.

On a large combat map. Staff officers mark with a variety of chess pieces. The changes on the battlefield are clear at a glance.

"Did you notify the palace?" Wang Jian asked.

"I've been notified by phone. The king will wake up in an hour and a half. A staff officer said.

"Good. Is there a detailed plan? Wang Jian then asked.

"This is what came before. Paratrooper units began to board the boat. The airship bombing squadron is taking off. The parachute is boarding the airship. Estimates are now being completed. The staff officer said.

"When are you leaving?" Wang Jian asked.

"Bombing the airship at six o'clock sharp. Half an hour will bombard within twenty to fifty miles of the rear of the coalition forces. The Airborne Forces did not know. Their time has not yet been determined. The staff officer replied.

"Hmm. The planning time is a bit messy. Wang Jian said.

"The key to success or failure lies in the safe landing of the Airborne Forces." Li Mu said. Wang Jian nodded.

And at the frontier airport. The paratroopers had already entered the airship. A lot of people are nervous. Five large airships loaded a company of paratroopers. In total, there were twelve large airships arranged in one direction of attack. Thirteen large airships will be arranged in the other direction. A medium-sized airship. One or two of them will get their supplies in place. And behind them. It will be followed by more than eighty to ninety airships of various types. Combined, more than two hundred airships were put into operation.

"We were all very nervous. It doesn't say when we're going to take off. Just let us stay on the airship. It's true. It was quiet inside the airship. No one is willing to speak. The atmosphere was very tense. I was so nervous that I could hear my saliva in my throat. An airborne paratrooper recalled.

"I don't know what it was. The pilot of the airship was delayed. I would love to scold them. Because we're so nervous. A buddy next to me had a leg shaking all the time. He shivered like a contagious disease. It makes me tremble. Another companion next to me joked. ”

"I said, did you drink too much soda?"

"I said no."

"Then why are you shivering. It's like urgency to urinate. ”

"I thought it was funny. In fact. A lot of my peers laughed at me. The soldiers in our airship laughed. In this way, the tension of the time was relieved. At that time, Zhao Han, who was parachuting into the second company, said the soldiers of the second platoon of the second platoon.

Just while the paratrooper units were waiting. Wang Ben and Li Xin discussed the specific combat time of the airborne troops.

"The white sky is good. But isn't there some danger? "Wang Ben is a Marine after all. If a small detachment is airborne at night, there is nothing. But so many troops. It's a bit tricky.

"What if you put it after the bombing of the airship?" Li Xin asked tentatively.

"If that's the case. Will it bring a lot of Shangwen vigilance to the other party? Our bombing airships are capable of dropping bombs. In that case. They ...... "Wang Ben tried to imagine his own speculation. If the opponent withstands less than one round of air strikes, flee early. Then there is a possibility that the whole plan will fail. Although with the existing forces can easily defeat the opponent. But it is a great pity that they cannot be completely annihilated. Not sure why. After the Qin army was equipped with a large number of new weapons. There are far fewer examples of total annihilation of the opposing side. After this revolution in tactics. In particular, the application of the new arms of the airborne troops will very well solve the problem of encirclement and annihilation. The Allies could no longer fight a rout.

"I understand what you mean." Li Xin knew Wang Ben's thoughts. But security. It was really worrying him.

"It takes two hours to get to the destination. If you take off now. Wang Ben took out his pocket watch and looked at it. The time is shown at 4:32.

"How about a take-off at 5:15?" Wang Ben asked.

"Airborne at your destination at seven o'clock in the morning?" Li Xin looked at Wang Ben and said.

"Yes." Wang Ben nodded.

Li Xin thought for a moment. Now is a critical moment in determining the course of the war. The biggest attraction of this war is the use of airborne troops. This is a war in the style of a futuristic war. Two people take on a lot of responsibility.

"Let's do it!" Wang Ben said decisively.

Li Xin nodded.

"Order the Airborne Forces to take off at 5:15."

Fifteen minutes later, the troops took off. * Li Xin ordered to the chief of staff.

Commands are given randomly over the phone. Also this time. All time class attack time sequences are arranged.

But the last service. Cavalry units that complete the task of attacking and quickly advancing forces need to postpone the attack.

According to the schedule set by Wang Ben and Li Xin. The first round of the ground offensive will be launched by infantry. And not cavalry. This is mainly due to the fact that the two armies on the ground have set up a large number of obstacles. These obstacles invisibly create a narrow terrain. It was very difficult for the cavalry to deploy. Cavalry is about quick mobility. The Allies were generally armed with light cavalry. Weak protection. But maneuverable. Plan with this in mind. The first round of infantry attacks will occupy the forward positions of the opposing side. These positions consisted of ravines. It was more troublesome for the cavalry to advance. After the infantry destroys all this. There would be a starting position for the cavalry. Quickly penetrate the enemy's large rear. Divide and encircle, intersperse with roundabouts, and merge with the airborne troops that have already been airborne. Complete the final and complete elimination of the coalition forces.

Cavalry units have been withdrawn from previous battles. And the trimming was done. The number of cavalry was more than 13,000 men. In addition, there was a special cavalry of two thousand men. They were armed with local camels. Not horses. This mainly copes with the local desert terrain. Such cavalry units also existed in the Western Regions coalition army. However, their use is mainly for transportation. And not the rapid offensive of the Qin army. After these unfold. Logistics transport vehicles will also be moved forward. The sappers spent countless brain cells for this.

A simple grid pavement made of barbed wire is laid on the roads along the way. Such a road prevents the wheels of vehicles from getting stuck in the ravines of the Gobi Desert. This wire mesh can be driven with only a slight hardening. The most important thing is that it is simple to lay. It's also very fast. It is very conducive to the rapid establishment of channels. This contributed to the rapid development of Qin's supplies.

"The schedule has been passed on." Yang Duanhe handed the telegram he had just received to Wang Qian.

"At 5:15 the parachute unit took off. Arrived about two hours later. Next came the submarine troops. Six o'clock sharp. Bomb airship squadrons. At half past six sharp, the shelling began. Twenty-five minutes. Wang Jian looked at the order of attack on the list.

"Sir, the king has called." A communications soldier stepped forward to report.

"I'll come now." Wang Jian handed the timetable in his hand to Li Mu.

"If there is anything that needs to be added, you can directly give an order." Wang Jian then answered the call from King Qin.

Li Mu took the timetable to check.

"How's it going?" King Qin asked.

"It's good right now. The schedule has been laid out. Wang Jian replied.

"Good. The widow now goes to check. Did you inform the Prime Minister? King Qin asked.

"The Secretariat has been notified." Wang Jian replied.

"Good. So be it. The widow hung up. King Qin hung up the phone after speaking.

"Did the king say anything"? Yang Duanhe asked.

"The king is coming." Wang Jian said.

"It's five and three." Wang Jian looked at the clock placed in the staff headquarters and said.

"In a few minutes, the paratroopers will take off." Wang Jian said.

"Your Excellency. The staff just called. Said that the schedule has been lined up. Shang Wen's prime minister's secretary came in and reported.

"I'll see." Shang Wen said.

"Something telegraphed." The secretary took out a telegram from the folder. The punch strips are glued to it for easy reference.

"Xianyang time will take off at 5:15." The first thing Shang Wen saw was the first piece of the telegram.

Shang Wen took advantage of the situation to look up at the clock. The time has reached 10 minutes. Five minutes to go.

"Lads. Long waiting. "The pilot of the airship boarded the airship. His co-pilot. The technician has already begun to examine it nervously. And all the paratroopers looked at the pilots with all kinds of eyes. Meaning we've been waiting for a long time. Let's see.

"Alright. Let's take off. The driver also found the atmosphere awkward. But there was no way. The guys up there don't give orders.

"Have a nice trip, everybody!." After saying that, he turned around and entered the cab.

"Good luck to us. And good luck with those guys. The driver muttered to himself.

"The airship in Area 1 starts its engine. The cable is loosened. A loudspeaker shouted.

With a shake. The airship's cable is loosened. And then. The paratroopers felt themselves slowly moving upward. This moment. The tense moment for everyone was relaxed. They finally set out on their journey.

One airship after another took off. The sun in the east is shining. Irradiate them into an unknown area. That area is full of mysteries, wonders, and risks.

"Took off." Wang Ben looked at his watch and said. While the King of Qin was watching the time in the carriage, imagining that the troops had taken off, Shang Wen looked up and paid attention to the time.

The airship is behind the air formation. Split the two waves and fly each to their destination.

"Attention the shipwtowing troops. Attention troops: You'll be taking off in five minutes. Make your final preparations. The loudspeaker admonished. All the soldiers began to check their weapons. Carry it with you. Then fasten your seatbelts. Everyone's expressions were unnatural. The face is very solemn.

"We're taking off." The sergeant said silently.

The cable is loosened. The airship shook. Then slowly ascend. After liftoff, the formation will be carried out according to the original plan. The huge tin chaff numbers will give them the numbers that indicate the representatives of the airship.

Temporary installation of ground lights to help them illuminate friendly aircraft in front of them.

Nearly two hundred airships lifted off in droves. And the airport staff looked up to see this spectacular sight. War photographers captured the spectacle with what little oriental light there had. On the airship, it was shot from a personal angle.

Journalists were excited to report on this historic moment.

"This is the fall from the sky in our history. The people of the Western Regions would never have imagined it. Brave Allied soldiers will come from heaven. Block them in their rear. The journalist reports. They will use commercial telegraph lines to send out the message. Then it was published in the newspaper. If adopted. It would be printed by telegram to local newspaper offices. In this way, the newspaper achieves the purpose of simultaneous distribution.

The front line is still quiet. Not quiet is the Western Regions Alliance. They've been tormented enough by the emotion of defeat. Many of those who participated in the attack died under the artillery of the opposing side. The war is so brutal. They would love to go home. I don't want to fight anymore.

But the Allies, on their part, had already sharpened their bayonets.

"Dude. What are you sharpening your bayonet for? A South Korean infantryman asked Sergeant Cho.

"Don't you feel like something is wrong today?" The veteran continued to sharpen his bayonet.

"Something is wrong. I don't feel it!. The South Korean soldier did what he said strangely.

"Hey, nothing." The veteran smiled slightly. And then nothing was said. The South Korean soldiers wondered. But what is known.

"Five fifty-six," Wang Ben looked at his watch.

And at the airport. A large number of bombing airships have begun to loosen the cables. And at the airport on the side. Some fighters on both sides have already started their engines. They will be the first to strike. They planted two half-stone bombs under their chances. They will drop bombs on coalition camps in a low-altitude flying attitude. Their goals are smaller, more dispersed. The airship bombing targets were all important camps in the vicinity.

"Take off." The commander waved. The ground crew takes off the wooden deed. The engine roared. The first plane took off. Immediately after the second one. The third.

The airship on the other side has also been lifted into the air. They will enter each other's depth in a certain formation.

"2 of hearts." Wang Ben and Li Xin spent this difficult moment by playing poker. Both of them knew as local commanders. I'm more nervous than anyone else. Playing cards can only suppress tension on the surface.

"Look. Heavenly. "At this time the 1st Army Aviation Combat Brigade. Thirty-six planes flew over the Allied forces in a large triangular formation.

A "buzzing" sound breaks the temporary calm.

And the Western Regions Alliance could only look at the sky numbly. Their superiors were also aware of the anomaly. This strange thing that can fly usually appears. But what's going on today. How so many.

Soldiers on both sides looked up at the planes in the sky. When the planes left, for some time there was a huge formation of airships. Two bombardment brigades. Plus a squadron of special bombing airships. Nearly a hundred airships flew over their heads.

By this time the sky was clear. So many planes. Airship. Let everyone be blown away.

"Blow up you bunnies." The heavenly driver looked at the ground and cursed.

"So many airships. Plane. artillery," a technician looked at the position below. Artillery positions were busy. Soldiers on the ground waved at them. And the coalition soldiers did not know what was happening. Their opponents are too strange. They don't know anything.

Six thirty o'clock. After the airship flew away on the plane. The calm was broken again. Artillery bombardment began.

“0180。 Rapid fire. The shooter shouted.

"Put." "Bang." The first shells were fired. Then countless rounds of artillery began to roar.

"Whew." The "boom" coalition positions were suddenly in flames. There were explosions everywhere. The earth trembled. Even the Allied positions felt that the artillery was unusually powerful. Everyone could only stay in the trenches and wait quietly. The order has come down. All will rush out of the trenches. Twenty-five minutes of shelling.

Some of the brave ones came out of the trenches to check the situation on the other side.

"How?" A recruit asked curiously.

"Here you go. See for yourself. There were explosions everywhere. Not the slightest bit of interest. The soldier said.

There were explosions everywhere in the opposite position. Billowing smoke and dust are going to bury everything.
