Chapter 126 Bombardment of British Artillery Positions
The whole Gansu seems to be filled with dense dark clouds, making people unconsciously feel a heavy depression, the passage of a day, as if a year, the second morning, the first ray of sunlight invades the earth, rendering a mysterious color to this boundless land, if it is usual, it will definitely give people a very warm feeling, but at this time, it seems so bewitching.
Suddenly, a burst of "buzzing ......" like mosquitoes dancing in the ears came from far to near, the sound became louder and louder, looking up at the sky, only to see a dense row of planes whistling by, quickly disappearing into the distance, but leaving a strong killing atmosphere, people can't help but be awe-inspired, about to fight.
After the British army marched to the Shouyang formation yesterday, it was dark, so they set up camp in Shouyang Town, it was autumn at this time, it was not cold to say that it was cold, the temperature was just right, so the British army had a good night's sleep last night, and the fatigue of running all the way disappeared a lot, with the morning sunset, the soldiers got up one after another when the military horn sounded, and began to wash up and have breakfast, along the way the soldiers were talking and laughing, as if they were coming for vacation, not to fight, they were also the same as their commanders, and felt that this so-called Yanhuang Army, It's just a rabble, the Chinese are not the opponent of the British Empire at all, once upon a time, a few hundred British troops could fight in many places, not to mention the current 100,000, then Wei Chendong was not scared away is already very remarkable, it depends on how long he can last, don't ejaculate prematurely, otherwise it will be too boring.
"Buzz ......" Suddenly, the sound of mosquitoes flying came from a distance, and some soldiers also heard it, and their faces couldn't help but show a strange look, they were very familiar with this kind of sound, whose plane is this, it can't be that the headquarters sent planes to support it in order to win as soon as possible, many people couldn't help but think, and they didn't have any dodge thoughts.
Johnson was also startled by this sudden sound, and his face was immediately shocked, and he roared angrily: "Enemy attack, hide quickly."
As soon as his words fell, groups of bombers and fighters arrived quickly, and the death knell was sounded without hesitation. The bombers did not hesitate to dump bombs in a particular position.
"Boom ......" a burst of screams roared.
The explosions of the "boom ......" were deafening, making the earth tremble.
"Ah......" Many soldiers were still holding lunch boxes in their hands, and the bombs immediately tore their bodies to pieces, and their corpses like rags were thrown away by a powerful wave of qi, and they still had a mouthful of breakfast beef jerky in their mouths before they could swallow it, and their faces showed an incredible color.
One after another fighter jets formed a formation and began to dive down, in the dense crowd, the pilot did not hesitate to pull the trigger, the two on-board machine guns on board began to spit frantically tongues of fire, and death suddenly dispersed.
"Da ......" a series of fires erupted from the muzzle of the machine gun, and the unprepared British soldiers fell like a hurricane sweeping through a wheat field, falling in pieces, unable to get up again, their fragile chests could not stop the powerful piercing force of the heavy machine gun, under such a close blow, many people's chests were directly pierced, bullets shot out of the back, and then did not stop, and took the lives of the soldiers behind.
Some soldiers who had been blown off their limbs and had a lot of shrapnel or bullets in their bodies were not dead, lying on the ground wailing helplessly, but the heart-rending pain could not reduce their pain, blood suddenly infected the whole land, and the death knell was still ringing, without the slightest intention of stopping.
"No, stop them", Johnson roared in anger when he saw the direction the bomber was heading.
Groups of soldiers were immediately sent out and quickly rushed towards their artillery units, and as they went, they kept firing their machine guns into the air, hoping to get down one or two planes. Obviously, the goal of the planes in the air is not to kill or injure the British army, but to destroy their artillery units, because these artillery are the only heavy weapons troops of the British army in this attack, after all, from Shanghai to Gansu, not far away, the road is rugged, many heavy weapons can not be brought over in a short time, these heavy artillery is also the British army spent a lot of effort, dismantled into parts to transport here, this is a treasure, so, must not be lost.
The pilots in the air apparently also knew the importance of these artillery to the British army, so they had to be destroyed. A group of fighters broke away from the group, separated and dived downward, blocking the support of the British forces on the ground.
"Da ......" rows of planes flew by, leaving corpses on the ground.
"go, go......" the British officer screamed at his throat, kicking the slow soldier in his legs from time to time.
"Rush, ......" The British army finally mustered up the courage to reinforce their artillery positions, they stepped on the corpses of their comrades, raised their eyes to the sky, the machine guns in their hands kept invading their dissatisfaction with this morning, but the footsteps did not stop at all, and ran forward frantically, but the pilots in the air obviously did not want them to succeed, a sky, an underground, a block, an attack, no one let anyone, obviously, standing on the ground will suffer a big loss, relying on the machine gun in the hand and the fighter in the air to fight is too unrealistic, and, The pilots in the air were obviously also experienced veterans, and the crossed fire points rarely left dead ends, and the rounds of fire blockade made it impossible for the British to rush through, and many soldiers rushed past the first line of shooting, and then rushed through the second lane, but fell on the third line again.
The fighters in the air had all dived down to stop the British troops, and the bombers were only bombing the British artillery positions, and some British officers roughly estimated that there were no less than 70 bombers in the air, no less than 60 fighters, and a full 130 planes to attack their unprepared troops.
More than 60 fighters were put together in several echelons, taking turns to block, a row of planes flew over, the second row immediately followed, and after the last row of planes finished attacking, the first row of planes just rushed back, so that a cycle was formed, ensuring that there was no gap for the British troops on the ground to charge, so that they were always under the blow, except for the hard rush that did not kill, there was no second way to choose.
"Whew......"
"Boom ......"
The bomber shells were spilled on the artillery positions one by one, and every time he heard a sound, Johnson's nerves tensed, and he kept urging the soldiers below to strengthen the offensive, vowing to save the artillery.
"Boom ......", the bombers in the air did not hesitate to bomb their bombs, and kept carpet bombing the British artillery positions, only to see the loess on the ground flying, from time to time a cannon barrel was thrown into the air, and then fell, falling completely deformed, one by one the tires were also ejected into the air and caught fire, rolling around to some undead soldiers, setting their bodies on fire, so that they were helplessly burned to death in fear and helplessness.
"These bitches raised it, how did they get the intelligence, didn't it say that the Yan Huang Army only had a few training planes? How can there be so many? ”
"Tell the soldiers to rush up to protect the artillery position, the woman can not wear a condom, but there must be a cannon, otherwise everyone will have to finish the game......" Johnson kept roaring in the temporary headquarters, at this time he also felt that this battle did not seem to be as easy to fight as he imagined, and he suffered a big loss at the beginning, he didn't expect that the Yan and Huang Army would take the initiative to attack, and it was this kind of strong attack, first striking at their core troops, which is equivalent to breaking Johnson's arm.
"Soon, soon, our soldiers are not far from their positions, and the enemy planes seem to be retreating......," the officer in charge of the attack kept explaining to Johnson, but he was already sweating profusely.
I don't know how long it took, the sound of the explosion finally became quieter, but the entire battlefield was already filled with smoke, and the sunlight no longer knew where it went. No one would have thought that half an hour ago it was still a beautiful day, but now it is a mess, the earth is stained with blood, the sound of miserable howls is the music here, the sound of explosions is the best greeting of soldiers to the enemy, and a particle bullet is the best breakfast for the enemy.
Dozens of minutes passed, and the planes that had already dropped their bombs withdrew one after another, and the small world finally became much quieter, leaving only a wail to tell people that all this was not a nightmare at night.
"Rush, ......" The reinforcements of the British army finally rushed to the artillery position, but the scene made them dumbfounded, this position is almost difficult to find a flat ground of more than ten square meters, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was bombarded to pieces, and the results of the artillery can be imagined.
"It's over, the artillery is over, our artillery is even more finished, and from now on, all the 100,000 British troops are infantry," a lieutenant colonel muttered to himself with a sad face.
The news was first reached by Johnson.
"**......", one by one, a roar shot out of Johnson's mouth, his dream was finally shattered, he no longer thought about this beauty, he just wanted to take revenge quickly, he very much wanted to use the body of the prisoner of the Yan and Huang Army to fill this piece of land that was blown up by them, only in this way could he reduce his anger a little.
In the early morning battle, the British army lost more than 3,000 people, and the artillery that Johnson was most concerned about was completely annihilated, which was the biggest blow to him.
For the rest of the morning, the British spent most of their time sorting out their troops and dealing with the wounded.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, a scout rushed to the British headquarters, as if there was some urgent military situation.
"What? You say that enemy ground forces were found thirty miles from our army? Seeing the information in his hand, Johnson slapped the table and stood up.
