Chapter 1339: The Aftermath of the Tribulation
Just as the rumbling explosion sounded, Yao Menglin on the northern shore of the Johor Strait looked at the soaring fire dragon in front of him and was dumbfounded.
Singapore was already in front of him, and he originally thought that he could kill the rout all the way through, but he never expected that the island army would be so cruel that it would directly attack his own people and destroy the cross-sea embankment at this juncture.
"Retreat, retreat!" Yao Menglin howled hoarsely.
He is not a student of the academy, and his achievements today are all due to his courage to kill the enemy and his rich battlefield experience, and there are probably hundreds of large and small battles against the little devils, and he knows the tactical essence of the island army, and in the next second, the island army should launch an artillery attack.
In fact, at this time, tanks, armored vehicles, and helicopters have already reached the shore of the Johor Strait, and it may only take a few minutes for them to open the way with artillery fire and decisively run over the Xinjo embankment, but unfortunately they underestimated the cruelty of the island army, and this guy disrupted their overall plan.
Although Yao Menglin's reaction was fast, it was still too late, and just when the tanks, helicopters, and soldiers were turning around with all their might, the sound of "Xiu Xiu Xiu" shells breaking through the air had already sounded in the sky.
The voice was shrill and dense, and Yao Menglin's face immediately turned black, full of horror, and he screamed wildly: "Lie down, lie down, lie down, lie down!" ”
He had experienced the fire, and had seen almost all the artillery fire of the island army, but he had never seen such an earth-shattering sound of breaking through the air, and with his experience, he immediately judged that the enemy's artillery fire caliber exceeded at least 150 millimeters, and it was an out-and-out giant cannon, and no one could run faster than a cannonball, and lying down was the only option.
After Yao Menglin howled, he rolled into a low-lying area, and immediately lay on his stomach with his head in his hands.
"Boom, boom!"
Dense shells rained down, and in a matter of moments, the flames soared into the sky, the rubble danced, and the ground shook, and a vast area was completely covered.
The whole bombardment lasted five or six minutes before it ended.
A few minutes later, in the smoke of gunpowder, Yao Menglin staggered to his feet, shook his head vigorously, and seemed to adapt to the dizziness caused by the bombing, and then turned around and looked around blankly.
On the battlefield filled with gunsmoke, there were craters several meters wide, and the wreckage of helicopters and tanks could be seen everywhere, but there was not a single figure in sight, not even a single corpse.
Yao Menglin immediately felt that his feet were a little weak, and he cried and howled with a sad face: "Is there anyone alive, if there is a squeak, do you hear it, hurry up and ...... Lao Tzu."
Yao Menglin howled incoherently, but could barely hear anything other than the sound of burning plants and sporadic detonation of munitions.
After running all the way for more than ten meters, he finally saw the field uniform he was familiar with, but almost all of them were stumps and broken arms, and he couldn't even see a complete corpse.
"Ah......h
The man who was more than 1.8 meters old knelt on his legs, let out a heart-rending roar, and then actually hugged his head and howled.
In the battle of the Hukang River Valley, he didn't shed a single tear when there were only a few people left in one battalion, and in the battle of the Liangmiao River, there were only a dozen people left in the entire independent regiment, and he didn't shed a single tear, but at the moment he cried, and he actually cried with this steely man.
There are more than 6,600 soldiers in the entire wolf-tooth special combat team, and less than 600 people have died from airborne to chasing all the way, but in just these few minutes, the 6,000 soldiers are gone, how can he accept it, and how can he pay Jiang Haoran's difference.
Yao Menglin, who was ashamed, finally pulled out his pistol, simply pushed the bullet into loading, and aimed it at his temple without the slightest hesitation.
"Captain, what are you doing!"
A voice sounded abruptly.
Yao Menglin's body was obviously stunned, and the pistol was slowly put down, looking left and right as if he didn't quite believe his ears.
Soon, he noticed a moving mound not far away, and a pair of thief's bright eyes were looking at him, and as his head swung and shook off the dust on his face, a finished human face was revealed.
"It's so fresh, our captain can cry too?"
Another voice sounded, obviously behind Yao Menglin, and when Yao Menglin turned around, he saw a mound of earth arching up from the ground.
Soon, Yao Menglin found that his eyes were not enough, and just a few meters away from him, people crawled out of the mound everywhere.
At this time, Yao Menglin was angry, got up with an arrow step, quickly turned out a few people nearby, and immediately punched and kicked, "Damn, all of them should be damned, obviously they are alive and don't open their mouths, just waiting to see Lao Tzu's jokes, right?" ”
Yao Menglin scolded and pulled out a person, and he would be accompanied by an old punch, only to beat the soldiers and scream, saying that they were stunned by the shell, and they woke up when they heard the cry.
Of course, Yao Menglin didn't believe this, but there was already a smile on his face, because he found that the damage was not as big as he imagined, and there were at least ten people alive in this radius of only a few dozen meters, and according to this probability, it was not certain that one or two thousand people would survive.
Soon, the walkie-talkie also sounded, and the leaders of the detachments asked about the next battle plan, and then the roar of helicopters, tanks, and armored vehicles began to sound, and the whole land came alive.
It was all at this step, and the attack was naturally impossible, so Yao Menglin decisively ordered the troops to retreat quickly.
At this moment, they are only separated from Singapore by the Straits of Johor, and when the smoke clears, the enemy on the opposite side will be able to discover their existence, and no one can guarantee whether the enemy will continue to bomb, so they can only withdraw from the coverage of artillery fire first.
A group of remnants began to quickly sweep the battlefield, search and rescue their comrades, and quickly evacuate with the wounded.
Through the observation of the battlefield, they also understand why they were able to survive the disaster.
Although the enemy's shells were frighteningly large, ranging in caliber from 150 mm to 400 mm, the shells fired were armor-piercing.
As the name suggests, the armor-piercing projectile is an artillery shell that relies on the strong kinetic energy of the projectile to forcibly penetrate the armor to destroy the target, mainly used to hit tanks, warships, these heavily armored big guys, a smash is a big hole, especially this kind of hundreds of millimeters of giant artillery to hit tanks, helicopters, as long as it hits, it is almost a piece of scrap metal, and it is bound to be torn apart.
But it is a bit unsatisfactory to use to fight infantry, its ground-drilling function is good, but the destructive power is limited, even if it is a tank or helicopter, as long as it is not directly hit, there is still a great hope of survival.
If you replace it with a high-explosive bomb of the same caliber, it will explode when it hits the ground, and the lethality of the fragments is amazing, and if an artillery shell lands, there will be no people or animals left at least 100 meters away, and the thousands of people in the wolf's tooth special combat team will be properly saved.
