In the old city of Jerusalem, three hours after the start of the ground war, all the prepared artillery fire around it erupted at the same time with a dense roar.

Countless shells, from the periphery of Jerusalem's semicircle, fell on this old city, and every artillery piece was a large-caliber howitzer.

All the artillery units preset outside the city add up to more than 500 artillery pieces of various types, of which 300 are owned by the Red Guard Corps, and the remaining 200 are from Jordanian and Saudi artillery.

Most of them were self-propelled guns, with a minimum caliber of 155 mm, and a dense number of shells were poured on this fifteen-square-kilometer altitude.

The dense explosions instantly covered up the old city, and the violent explosions and waves stirred in the old city.

The whole shelling seemed to have no intention of stopping at all, and in just half an hour, more than 50,000 shells were tilted down.

On fifteen million square meters of land, for every thirty square meters, on average, for every thirty square meters, a shell fell.

And the killing range of each shell is at least hundreds of square meters.

After half an hour of rapid shelling, the shells still did not stop falling, and all the artillery was still firing, but the speed slowed down somewhat.

At this time, the rocket artillery unit, which was also ready, re-transformed the old city that had been turned into ruins, and passed through it again like a plough.

Thousands of rockets fell, but the shelling did not stop, and even after the rocket launchers, in the sky, four huge bombers appeared above the old city, and countless aerial bombs fell again.

Dense shells fell and exploded, setting the entire old town on fire, and the sky was completely covered in the smoke of explosions.

A large amount of concrete floor was blasted open, large swaths of houses collapsed, and the dust and smoke of the explosion covered the entire old town and a large number of surrounding areas.

However, the shelling was not over, and the 500 guns were still pouring fire, and although there were only about four or five shells in a minute, there were about 2,000 shells in a minute.

Under such an attack, the entire Jerusalem could feel the explosions and tremors coming from the location of the old city.

The smoke of the explosion is covering the entire city.

Many reporters in Jerusalem also filmed the shelling of the old city.

In modern warfare, it is difficult to see such intensive artillery bombardment, and in this era of precision strikes, it is important not to waste unnecessary firepower, and to control the attack and effect in a reasonable proportion as much as possible.

Not only can an overly strong artillery strike fail to destroy the enemy, but the overflowing attack damage is a complete waste.

However, one thing has to be said is that the deterrent effect of artillery fire is also a war pressure that cannot be ignored.

Especially for the Israeli soldiers in the area of the shelling, although they hid in the cellar, like rats, to avoid the damage of the artillery fire, but the constant explosions, violent vibrations, is a huge psychological pressure.

If it is an army without faith, under such artillery fire, it will soon collapse, and unfortunately, the IDF is an army of faith.

Most of them joined the army not to get promoted and make a fortune, nor to get ahead, but more to dedicate themselves to their mission, and such an army has the most tenacious will to fight.

Of course, the Red Guard Corps did not expect such artillery fire to destroy the opponent's will to fight, although they belonged to different camps and some were now life and death enemies, but the Red Guard Corps still admired the Israeli army very much, and perhaps it was more correct to say that they sympathized with each other.

For such an enemy, the Red Guard Corps will also give enough respect.

And the expression of respect is that the entire shelling lasted for three full hours, and the smoke of the explosion has enveloped the whole of Jerusalem.

The explosion didn't tear up the wreckage of the building, but more dirt was splattered under the crater.

The shelling stopped for three whole hours, 150,000 shells, tens of thousands of aerial bombs, and tens of thousands of rockets.

The density of artillery fire in this short period of three hours far exceeded that of any previous war, and it also made the world once again see the strength and endurance of the Red Guard Corps in terms of prepared firepower.

As the dust and smoke of the explosion began to dissipate from the old town, all they saw was a hill that was almost in ruins.

At the top of the old town, which is 341 meters above sea level, all the buildings have collapsed, and only a few buildings still have one or two floors.

And even on the other side of the mountain, with their backs to artillery fire, all the buildings were mostly destroyed under the calibration of artillery drones.

Jerusalem, the originally neat urban buildings, like hair-like urban architectural patterns, suddenly have an extra Mediterranean, bare, and look particularly eye-catching.

The old town, which was originally only 341 meters above sea level, suddenly gained several meters, which was the height of the collapsed building debris piled up.

A single artillery preparation turned the entire city into ruins, and in the ruins, there was hardly any living existence.

At the T-shaped intersection where the attack was launched, the Tiger Battalion, which was still the sharp knife of the attack, officially launched an attack on this ruin in the night.

This mountain city battle has also become a mountain city ruin battle.

The attacking troops approached the front of the ruins, but before they entered the ruins, they were immediately attacked fiercely on the periphery of the ruins.

On the edge of the ruins, among the massive wreckage of buildings, a large number of Israeli soldiers appeared, all of them were gray-faced, and the dust and smoke had already covered the camouflage color on their faces.

However, the smoke and dust could not hide their stubborn gaze, and although many of the defenses were destroyed, the soldiers hiding in the cellar were all still alive.

As soon as the shelling stopped, the hidden soldiers all came out of the cellars, ready to fight the attacking enemy.

On the outskirts of the old town, the tall buildings became their best defensive positions, and many of the walls were reinforced.

Able to resist the penetration of heavy machine guns, a large number of snipers also became active.

However, this time, in front of the Israeli troops, a large number of field snipers of the Marin Division were also waiting for them for a long time.

Another close-range battle unfolded, and the sound of gunfire resounded over the old city at one time.

During the exchange of fire, the stopped artillery fire rang out again, and this time the targets of the shelling were all aimed at the periphery of the old city, and the standard infantry artillery coordination. (To be continued.) )
