Chapter 421: Mountbatten Returns to the West!
"Boom! Rumble! ……”
Continuous explosions emanated from the city of Boli, a small Southeast Asian city now completely shrouded in smoke and dust.
The main forces of the Sixth Army advanced to the periphery of Boli, and after building temporary defensive positions, the rocket artillery units in the rear also began a new round of artillery bombardment of Boli.
The deafening sound of the explosion disturbed the already unstable morale of the Allied forces.
Mountbatten was pacing back and forth in the headquarters, and he had thought of many results from the beginning of the war until now, but he had not expected that the situation would be so difficult. There were only three days, and it took only three days for the Chinese army to go from the border of Yangon to Boli. There is also a small river across the middle, which is really difficult for him to accept.
If this is a plain, such an attack speed can only be described as super slow, but this is a mountain forest, and there are countless defensive positions along the road, such an attack speed can shock anyone.
Letting the dust fall on him, Mountbatten didn't have time to care about these things. Shelling is a pre-offensive preparation, everyone understands this.
"Are those Chinese soldiers iron men? Three days of offensive in a row, and not taking a break. "Heartfelt evaluation, without any positions and ideas. This is his main impression of the Chinese army at present.
"Your Excellency, you can't stay here anymore, I will have someone escort you away, go back to India, and organize the soldiers for the next step of defense." Zimla walked in with a grim face, he had just gone to inspect the city walls, and he had become what he was now.
For this war, especially the defensive battle of Boli that will begin. Zimla doesn't have much hope. Although there is still a large amount of ammunition stored in the city, and the walls are still standing, no one can guarantee that it will last long. Perhaps, in the next moment, the city wall will collapse under the heavy Chinese artillery fire.
"You told me to go, the real battle is just about to begin, how can I get out of here." Hearing Zimla's words, Mountbatten showed an angry look and yelled at Zimmera.
"Your Excellency, Commander. Now is not the time to talk about that. I'm guarding this place, and you must get out of here. As it stands, it's already unsafe. No one can guarantee what will happen next. Looking at the increasingly obvious crack on the top of the headquarters, Zimla said again. We still have a lot of strength in India. All of this needs to be led by the commander. If you make any mistakes, it will be fatal to us. ”
"You don't have to say any more, let me think about it." Mountbatten also understood what Zimla meant. As he said, if he had an accident, the allies in Southeast Asia and India would be leaderless for a short time. If the Chinese army launched a full-scale attack, Mountbatten would no longer dare to think about it.
Whether to stay or leave, two thoughts are controlling him. Left, he was very unwilling. It's dangerous to stay, it's worth the risk.
――――――
At the same time, on the territory of Yunnan, six launchers of the 23rd Missile Regiment were prepared.
The Heavenly Sword has been revealed, and the full moon of the longbow is pointing straight at the sky.
The six ground-penetrating missiles are ready, the coordinates and guidance signals have been calibrated, and they are waiting for the moment of ignition.
"Commander, the three signals of the target have not changed at the moment, and they are still flashing." Luo Junyuan looked at the three signal points on the monitor and said to Wang Yunshan on the side.
"As planned." After looking at the time, Wang Yunshan muttered in his heart again: "There are still three minutes, I hope you can dodge in time, otherwise, you can only resign yourself to fate." ”
"Yes." Luo Junyuan issued the latest order: "The No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 launch vehicles are ready, and they will be ignited on time in three minutes." ”
For all the officers and men of the 23 missile regiment, three long minutes passed in waiting. When there were ten seconds left in the three-minute countdown, the safety cover on the launch button was lifted, revealing the launch button inside.
“10、9… 2. Ignition. With Luo Junyuan's command, the three fingers that had already been prepared pressed the launch button at the same time.
On the launch site outside the base, three clouds of dust and smoke rose up, covering most of the area in an instant. The bottom of the three missiles that stood was sprayed with tail flames, freed from the gravity of the earth, and slowly lifted into the air. The speed also gradually increased, and after thirty seconds, the staff on the ground could only see a bright light that was getting farther and farther away at three o'clock.
Six missiles, not all fired together. According to the plan that was developed, three missiles would be enough, and the remaining three would be nothing more than preparations.
Wang Yunshan and others did not have the joy of success when the missile was lifted off normally, and this was only the first step in the long march of 10,000 miles, and only by waiting for the missile to accurately hit the target could they be happy.
"It will take two minutes for the missile to make contact with the target. At the moment the ballistics show that everything is normal. Looking at the missile pattern on the display slowly advancing, and getting closer and closer to the three signal points in front, Luo Junyuan said: "The No. 3 missile began to correct its trajectory, and the No. 1 and No. 2 missiles maintained their current trajectory. ”
"The trajectory of the No. 3 missile has been corrected, and it is expected to officially contact the target in thirty seconds."
"The flight trajectory of the No. 1 and No. 2 missiles is normal, and it is expected that they will contact the target in 35 seconds."
……
The sound of soldiers reporting was constantly heard from inside the headquarters, as the time approached. Wang Yunshan felt that a lot of sweat was oozing from his palms, and he hadn't felt such a tense atmosphere for a long time.
"Ten seconds before the target, activate the terminal accelerator." Luo Junyuan was also very nervous, but he was still very calm and gave one order after another. Scenarios like this, they used to simulate a lot, but this time it's a real battle, and those missiles are not data, they are all real guys.
"Missile No. 3, the end acceleration is complete, three-two-one, hit the target. Signal destruction. ”
Five seconds later.
"The No. 1 and No. 2 missiles hit the target. Signal destruction. ”
As the shouts of excitement came out, the three missiles on the screen suddenly increased their speed before approaching the signal point. Subsequently, the two came into contact. The three signal points on the screen and the missiles are gone. Changed to a "target hit" prompt.
The entire command cheered, hugging each other excitedly. Wang Yunshan also breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Send a telegram to Hankyung immediately and report the situation here." After giving this order, Wang Yunshan laughed and walked out of the missile regiment headquarters.
――――――――
Time turned, and just two minutes before the missile was launched, a change quietly took place in the Allied cities of Boli and Shayeva.
"Oh, you're watching here, I have to go to the toilet. Damn belly. At this time, there was a commotion. The Allied lieutenant colonel, who was in charge of the warehouse, looked at the time, suddenly covered his stomach and pretended to have a stomachache. Hurriedly left the warehouse. Finally disappeared into the underground fortifications.
Ingibold also abruptly separated from one of his regiment of soldiers. Never came back. Salinger put down the scalpel. Changed into a military uniform and disappeared into the busy crowd as well.
Same time, same practice. More than a dozen Allied officers disappeared in front of everyone's eyes at the same time. Some of them are clerks of the army, some are members of the general staff, and some are military commanders.
The short disappearance did not attract the attention of others, and now everyone is busy with their own affairs, and their eyes are also focused on the attacking Chinese army.
On the side, Zimla finally finished persuading Mountbatten, and the staff in the Allied Forces Command in Southeast Asia were also packing up their things and preparing to leave. However, it was all in vain, and if it had been ten minutes earlier, maybe they would have been able to get out of this crisis.
Under the table where the map was placed, the small green light on the plastic box flashed rapidly, sending out an unknown signal constantly.
On the ground, Boli and Shayawa are the same, still shrouded in artillery fire. Even in the daytime, you can still see a flash of rocket flame in the sky, and the sound of whistling and explosions is endless.
The Allied soldiers in the two cities could not raise their heads at all, and could only pray silently.
Outside the city, the Chinese soldiers who had arrived here were resting. At this time, the soldiers who were originally looking at the sky and kept flashing rocket artillery all found that something was getting bigger and bigger in the sky.
They are just ordinary soldiers who simply do not know what missiles are and have not heard of them. They were a little stunned by what was under their eyes, especially when it looked like an oversized rocket.
"Mantian God and Buddha, what are those two things? Brothers, look, they're falling into the city, so fast. Outside Boli City, a Chinese soldier couldn't help but exclaim.
In the eyes of many Chinese soldiers, the two missiles quickly smashed into Boli City. Immediately, two huge explosions were heard, followed by an earth-shattering bang, followed by a continuous explosion from the city.
A mushroom cloud suddenly exploded in the city, and unlike the mushroom cloud created by the explosion of the nuclear bomb, this mushroom cloud was very irregular and did not have a huge shock wave. But the sound is no less than that of a nuclear bomb, and a loud sound can be heard from afar.
Zimla and Mountbatten didn't feel anything, just a shock, and then lost all consciousness. Under the acceleration of the end, the penetrating warhead directly penetrated the cement layer on the headquarters, and under the delayed fuse, the tonnage of gunpowder exploded in this small space. Everyone inside was swallowed up by the explosion in an instant, and they didn't know what happened until they died.
Another missile also pierced the warehouse inside Boli City, exploding inside the warehouse full of ammunition, and the result was the aforementioned mushroom cloud.
In Shayawa, this happened a few seconds earlier, except that Shayawa was hit by only one missile, because there was no other target worth hitting except for the ammunition depot.
Du Yuming, who was in the rear, immediately gave the order for an all-out attack.
