After the bombers left, those F84 fighters also lost their meaning in staying, and after being shot down more than two dozen of them, they also chose to retreat. The Golden Eagle 4 fighters were not rich in fuel, and they also returned.

The skirmish in the air came to an end, and the battle on the ground was just beginning. The artillery of the Third Army quickly built up their positions, and they did not know where the enemy's artillery was, so they could only spread fire over the mountains and fields, hoping to see the counterattack of the enemy's artillery and thus find the target.

The tall and strong man who had just become the division commander crouched in the position, he secretly cursed in his heart that his experience was too shallow, and he was a little carried away when he found the enemy just now, and actually began to attack the opponent as soon as he entered the effective range of heavy artillery, which made the Boston army quickly withdraw from the firing range.

Gao Dazhuang secretly scolded his stupidity, as if he had escaped the orders of his superiors, he would not be able to fight, and he was a veteran of a hundred battles, and he even forgot the common sense of waiting for the enemy to get close before fighting. It's no wonder that he has been serving under Dong Guicheng all along, and Dong Guicheng has always taken great care of this old subordinate, which also made Gao Dazhuang develop the habit of listening to the command in all actions.

Last time, because Dong Guicheng led the team to make great contributions, Gao Dazhuang was promoted to division commander, but because there was no vacancy in the original unit, he was transferred to the newly established reserve force, and later because of the lack of garrisons in Southern County, his troops were transferred here, this is the first time he led the troops to fight independently, and it is inevitable that he will be a little nervous, and mistakes are inevitable.

"Tell the artillery not to shoot, all units to stay hidden, and wait until the enemy rushes up before fighting." This time, he was tall and strong, and he secretly told himself to calm down, while ordering the troops to wait for an opportunity.

After a period of shelling, finding that there was no counterattack on the hill, Somerville hastened to order a halt to the shelling. Diffuse firing like this can only be used for fire reconnaissance, and if they continue to fight like this, not only will they not have any effect, but they will not be able to withstand even how powerful the logistics are, not to mention that now they are in the Gobi Desert, and the logistics are already very difficult.

"Order the 79th Army to send troops to charge, and let's test the opponent's firepower first." Somerville ordered, knowing he had to break through as quickly as possible and capture Walvis Bay Harbor, or his logistics would become increasingly vulnerable.

Soon, a team of more than 3,000 people, under the cover of more than fifty chariots, launched a frontal attack on the Brand Mountains. Looking at the Bostonians rushing on the flat Gobi Desert opposite with a telescope, Gao Dazhuang smiled and said, "If you want to test the firepower, send such a few people?" It's not enough to see. ”

At this time, he had regained his previous calm, and carefully analyzed the ground and invited: "This is their small force to test the troops, tell the other troops, don't open fire, just let Hou Yu's 1019 regiment block them back." ”

After receiving the order, Hou Yu immediately asked the soldiers to prepare for battle, and took the large-caliber bazooka and anti-tank guns that were sent to the back artillery hole to avoid the bombing, and quickly placed them in the gun emplacements dug in advance.

"Let's bury the mines, right?" Hou Yu asked cautiously, this was the first time that their entire division had conducted a real battle, and no one dared to be careless in the slightest.

Zhou Peng said: "I asked, they have all been buried, it is a mixed minefield of infantry mines and anti-tank mines, enough for them to drink a pot." ”

Hou Yu nodded and said, "Convey my order, don't shoot without my consent." Since they are going to reconnoiter our firepower, try to use mines against them, and if they can, they will not fight. Zhou Peng nodded, and then he went down the traffic trench to deliver the news.

The Boston charioteers drove their chariots at a slow speed on the flat Gobi Desert, and their chariots had just cleared the air intake grille and would not stall again for a short time, so they drove very safely. But soon the crisis situation arose, and in front of one of the chariots, a metal object suddenly jumped into the air, and then there was an explosion, and dense steel balls rained down on the front deck of the chariot, making a dense sound.

"Damn, who planted the mine, actually buried the infantry mine in front, I don't know if the other party's charge must be the head of the chariot? Why not bury anti-tank mines first. Hou Yu scolded, the sappers also don't have much experience, and there will naturally be some small mistakes on the battlefield.

"There are mines." In the combat vehicle, which was struck by an anti-infantry lightning jump, the driver exclaimed.

The commander on the side said: "Don't panic, it's an infantry mine, it has no effect on us, keep moving." ”

The gunner on the side carefully reminded: "There are probably two kinds of mines here, let's reduce the speed so as not to be blown up." ”

After being reminded by the gunner, the commander was also a little apprehensive, and he instructed the driver: "Be careful, drive slowly, don't rush to the front again, even if there is no anti-tank mine, the rocket artillery and anti-tank artillery of the Chinese Empire are not easy to mess with." ”

The frightened driver nodded in agreement, and he started the vehicle again, only this time at a very slow pace, almost only as fast as an infantry could walk. In fact, it was superfluous for them to slow down, because by the time they stopped to discuss, several vehicles had already overtaken them.

No sooner had the attacked vehicle started than suddenly there was another loud bang in front of it, but it was clear that it was much louder than just now. A puff of smoke rose from the bottom of the Boston chariot that rushed to the front, and the tracks and two load-bearing wheels on one side of it flew into the sky, and the chariot tilted to the side and fell directly there.

The four charioteers in the chariot hurriedly opened the roof of the chariot that had been overturned and jumped out, the first two jumped out of nothing, but when the third soldier jumped out of the chariot, he stepped on a hard metal protrusion.

Soon the scene of the first explosion reappeared, an anti-infantry jumping mine explosion part catapulted into the air, exploded at a height of nearly one meter, and the four steel balls directly beat the three charioteers into a sieve, and the fourth charioteer who was so frightened that he was lucky enough to avoid the explosion probed his brain at the mouth of the top cover, and he didn't dare to come out.

"Damn, who is this, burying the mines so densely, don't you want money for the mines? This group of losers. Hou Yu scolded again, but in an instant he laughed again: "This thunder is also well buried, after all, it has played a role, and it has been blown up well." ”

"Oh my God, did you see that? Those guys died so miserably. "The driver of the first bombed vehicle saw through the observation window the tragedy not far away.
