Chapter 297: Artillery Fire is raging

Soviet artillery withstood the heavy artillery fire, several guns were destroyed every second, and many Soviet artillery soldiers lost their lives in the explosion every second.

They want to escape, they want to get out of this purgatory on earth, but it's just a luxury. They all understood that if they left their positions, they would be subject to battlefield discipline. Because he was beaten to death by the political commissar and the law enforcement team, it is better to die a heroic death, at least not to be accused of desertion.

Many people are cursing, hoping that the Chinese artillery will kill the political commissars and members of the law enforcement team so that they can leave this hellish place.

There were violent explosions everywhere, and countless comrades were seen falling. The distance from death is so close, and the pressure of death torments their hearts all the time.

The Soviet artillerymen also hoped that their counterattack would have a certain impact on the Chinese artillery, but after counterattacking for a while, they found that the firepower of the Chinese artillery had not decreased, but the rate of fire was getting faster and faster. And more and more artillery on their side is being destroyed, and the counterattack is getting weaker and weaker, and it seems that it is a matter of time before it will perish.

Under the pressure of artillery fire, they reached a new record speed in operating the artillery, wishing that they could fire a shell every second. Everyone didn't dare to stop for a moment, and the high-intensity movements made them forget the danger around them for a while.

However, in the next explosion, they all deeply felt that the scythe of death was already on their necks, and they could be cut at any time.

The Chinese artillery with D-type shells, which appeared on the actual battlefield for the first time, caused the morale of these Soviet artillery to drop a lot.

The explosion was even more violent than before, and the 155mm shells exceeded the killing radius of 50 meters, so that countless Soviet artillerymen became dead souls in an instant, and fell forever with unwilling thoughts.

This shell is inferior to ordinary shells in terms of destroying fortifications, but in terms of anti-personnel personnel, it is definitely second to none in the world. The intense shelling can eject the shrapnel inside the shell for 60 or 70 meters, and ensure the absolute lethality within 50 meters. The lethality is no weaker than the bullets of a pistol, and it is the best choice to kill and injure enemy soldiers.

Just one salvo of fire illuminated a huge lethality, and the Soviet artillery, shrouded in the smoke of the explosion, in addition to the immediate death, the surviving people also lost their combat effectiveness, and there was no way to operate the artillery again.

The Soviet law enforcement team and those political workers who supervised the battle on the battlefield also died a lot. Forced by order, they didn't want to stay here either, because death was so close to them. It's just that they all know that if they leave, it's the end of this place. These Soviet artillerymen will run away without a single one left, and by then the battle will have been lost without fighting. At that time, their fate will not be much better than death, it is better to stay here and supervise the troops, so as not to be killed on trumped-up charges.

Cannonballs don't have long eyes, this is terrible, they don't recognize people, and they won't show mercy because of who you are, and when the explosion sounds, even the iron man will be scrapped, let alone flesh and blood.

An even greater catastrophe arose on the Soviet artillery positions, as the few remaining artillery pieces were destroyed in the explosion, and the shells that were packed with the explosion sprayed corpses and blood everywhere. At this moment, the Soviet artillerymen had gradually lost the courage to counterattack in such a violent explosion. Under the pressure of death, they no longer had the ability to operate the artillery normally, and many Soviet artillerymen began to leave their posts again, and they no longer wanted to stay in the gun position and wait for death to come.

Looking directly at death, not everyone has that courage.

And the political workers and law enforcement teams now can't care about the Soviet artillerymen who are running around, because death is so close to them. Those or people have already seen too many pictures, the bodies of their comrades are blown apart, and their limbs often fly in front of their eyes, and the smell of blood is about to overwhelm the smell of gunsmoke, making them all feel nauseous. There were many people who vomited at the sight of meat after the war, and they will never forget this night, and the bloody memories will stay with them for a long time.

The Chinese artillerymen didn't care about this, and they could also anticipate the scene on the other side, but they didn't have the slightest pity. On the battlefield, it is life and death, and mercy to the enemy is the greatest cruelty to oneself. In addition, the Soviet artillery also gave a certain number of casualties to the Chinese artillery, which aroused their desire to kill the enemy, and the word pity would definitely not appear in their minds.

After switching to D-type high-explosive shells, the return fire of the Soviet artillery had completely disappeared after ten minutes of continuous shelling. However, the Chinese artillery still wanted to stop the shelling, and they did not want to fight the tiger but not die but be injured by the tiger. Wipe out all the Soviet artillery at once and completely lose the ability to fight back.

Zhukov stood above the command headquarters and looked at the artillery positions that were plunged into a sea of fire in the distance. The blood in his heart at this moment, he would never have thought of such a result a few hours ago. The artillery, which had been able to counterattack before, has no chance to fire shells again.

However, he did not regret his previous decision to call the artillery to counterattack, he understood very well that these artillery pieces were all large-caliber artillery, and one artillery piece was several tons, and it was not easy to transfer it urgently. Coupled with the fact that it was again under the shelling of the opposing side, the transfer would only make the artillery losses faster. Moreover, in order to reduce the possibility of being discovered by the Chinese, the artillery positions were built very densely, and the two thousand artillery pieces were concentrated together, and it was impossible to transfer them in a short time.

After the artillery positions were completely fallen, Zhukov was a little lonely in an instant, and victory in this already suspenseful war was getting farther and farther away from him. However, he had not yet lost confidence, because only one artillery unit had been lost, and the Soviet army had not lost all its combat effectiveness.

Having saluted the artillery positions, Zhukov turned and walked into the command headquarters, where he was going to assign a new combat mission. He knew that China was about to make a big move, and it must make arrangements as soon as possible to prevent its own defense line from being swept away by the Chinese army.

"The armored corps was ordered to immediately prepare for battle, all the anti-tank divisions were concentrated on the front line, and the tank artillery of all units was concentrated and transferred to the front line together."

Now Zhukov is most worried about the Chinese armored forces, and the best way to deal with the armored troops is the air force and armored troops, it is night, and there is no way for the planes to help in the war, and in such weather, the planes have no way to dispatch. So he could only count on the Panzers, and Zhukov was now glad that he had a lot of anti-tank fire under his command. He believed that these things could cause heavy damage to the Chinese armored forces.

It is too early to say what this war will turn out to be.

Like Zhukov, Su Yusheng also began to make plans for the next step.

"The artillery was ordered to launch an artillery strike on the intended target immediately after destroying the enemy's artillery. Tell the artillerymen that it's okay to shoot all the shells, and that I will still hear our guns until dawn.

Then order the army group to be subordinate to the Humvee Regiment to be ready for battle, and cooperate with the armored forces to crush all the enemy. ”

Su Yusheng and Zhukov thought differently, he didn't have the heart to attack now. Now that the Soviet Union has set up a position, there is no need for them to attack in a hurry, it is better to let them enjoy a feast of artillery fire first.

He looked at the time and saw that it was only four o'clock in the morning, and there were still three hours before dawn. These three hours will be an artillery program, and after dawn will be the air force program, and the army will be the last to appear and crush the last resistance of the Soviet Union.

And Su Yusheng doesn't plan to keep anything, he wants to use the strongest combat power he is equipped with now to defeat the Soviet army, so that Zhukov can take a good look at China's combat effectiveness, and save himself from always being in love with the land of China.

Su Yusheng is very confident in the Humvee Regiment, which is a unit that has not appeared on the battlefield. The Humvee regiment is not always a separate unit, and the entire Mongolian Military District has four Humvee regiments, three of which are subordinate to the army group and one to the military district. Fourteen such Humvee regiments have only been formed across the country, all of which are directly subordinate to the troops. There are four in the Northeast Military District, the other two are in the Janissary Army, and the remaining two are in the Southern Military District.

The Humvee regiment belongs to one of the armored forces, and there is also the shadow of infantry. The whole regiment is equipped with military bulletproof Humvees, and there is only one machine gun in the whole vehicle, and this machine gun is the strongest lethality in the whole vehicle. Because it is the only bulletproof car equipped with a six-barreled Gatling, this Gatling, although not as good as the Navy's Phalanx, has a rate of fire that completely destroys all light and heavy machine guns, with a maximum rate of fire of 4,000 rounds per minute and 7.62 mm of ammunition. The ammunition supply chain is very long, and half of the whole car is used to load the ammunition chain. Moreover, the entire bullet chain is connected together, and there is no need to change the bullet chain during the battle, unless all the bullets are gone.

In the past, in the Southwest, there were such troops, which were also bulletproof Humvees, but they were armed with heavy machine guns. The lethality is okay, but the rate of fire is on the slow side. Later, it was all modified and replaced with a high rate of fire Gatling. However, due to the amount of ammunition consumed is really terrifying, and the chain loading is also very troublesome. Taking into account logistical problems, only fourteen such units were formed, and all of them were regimental size.

However, such a unit has been assigned to a military region, and it is loved by the military commanders of the military districts, who call such a unit an infantry mass killer, and as long as they are targeted, they will definitely not be spared. The high speed of the Humvee, coupled with the high rate of fire of the Gatling. Even the soldiers of the Chinese army, once they are targeted, it is difficult to get out alive.

When the pointer pointed to half-past four, the Chinese artillery stopped shelling, because they all received the news from the special forces who had infiltrated the rear that the Soviet artillery positions had been completely destroyed.

However, they stopped the shelling because they wanted to adjust the Zhuyuan, the targets that had been set before the shelling. With Su Yusheng's order, they all let go of their hands and feet. The artillerymen were happier than to have an innumerable number of shells at their disposal. They don't want to be confronted with a limited shelling order, which would be unpleasant. Especially the kind that both achieves the goal and limits the number of shelling. It's just out of rhythm, and it's over before it's enjoyable.

Su Yusheng's order is tantamount to allowing these artillerymen to play freely, without restrictions at all. Anyway, now there is nothing missing, the last thing is shells.
