Dongfeng ...... It's here!

Not the "Big Dongfeng", but the "Little Dongfeng" with a caliber of 107 mm, a combined assembly of 12 tubes, and a total combat weight of less than a ton!

In another timeline, this 107mm rocket launcher is the best partner for the AK assault rifle. Now that the Ming Army has an assault rifle, how can it not have a 107-mm "small Dongfeng"?

However, this "little east wind", like assault rifles, is now a high-end, atmospheric, and high-grade good thing, and slippers guerrillas do not have it. Assault rifles are used as machine guns in ordinary army units, and two are given in a squad, and they can fire in turns, forming a continuous firepower that is transferred after a shuttle. And in armored mixed brigades, this is the standard for armored infantry. The 107 mm "Little Dongfeng", because of its light weight, firepower, relatively close range, and very convenient operation, does not even require professional artillery, and can be used by trained armored infantry (but usually still used by artillery), so it is regarded as a "road-opening artifact" for wheeled armored vehicles. When the army was marching and fighting, the ammunition truck with the "Little Dongfeng" and 107-mm rockets was hung behind the 6-wheeled armored vehicle, and it was able to charge into battle. When encountering the enemy's well-fortified positions, before the armored vehicles launch an attack, they will first come to the "east wind washing", and then the armored assault!

Of course, in the previous landing campaign, the "Little East Wind" did not play. Because the "Little Dongfeng" does not have the ability to "submarine-launch", it is impossible to ignite and launch in the seawater. So the British army still does not know the power of the east wind!

But in this armored assault on the Tabultop Mountain front, General Mu is ready to use all his strength!

So...... The east wind is coming!

The sky was getting brighter, and history had come to an early morning of January 21, 1833.

Sudden attacks, as suggested in most military textbooks, are always launched in the early hours of the morning, which is often the time when the enemy is most sleepy, especially since this group of enemies has carried out a long march and a continuous attack for 7 days and 6 nights, and the top and bottom are exhausted to the extreme. Although Hugh. Admiral Gough had given an urgent order to prepare for battle all night, but his orders had to be conveyed from one level to the next. And just as the order was conveyed downwards, but before it reached the grassroots soldiers, the bodies of the British and Indian officers and soldiers huddled in the trenches trembled, and a flash of light swept over the Ming army position opposite.

The artillery bombardment of the whole line of the Ming army suddenly began!

The east wind of the Ming army has finally blown!

Shells and rockets swept like a hurricane over the positions held by the British, Indian, and thief armies, and the momentum was amazing! In particular, those 107-mm "Little Dongfeng" rockets, although the caliber is not large, the weight of the bullet is less than 20 kilograms, and the range is less than 8 kilometers. But this kind of rocket dragged the orange-red tail flame, swirled and whistled, and thousands of them gathered together, piercing the night sky, like a sea of fire from the sky, and rushed to the enemy's position, which was really as scary as it was terrifying! Some of the thieves who had done all the bad things didn't figure out the situation for a while, and they thought they were going to hell, so they cried violently at that time...... It turns out that there is hell! If I had known, I wouldn't have done so many bad things!

However, the British artillery group reacted quickly and began to rumble back at the first time. However, the artillery firepower of the Ming army on the front line of Mount Tabor was much stronger than that of the British army coming from afar, and the British army pulled some 6-inch short-barreled grenades, 3.7-inch field guns and 2.7-inch infantry guns, which could only bombard the forward positions of the Ming army, and could not deal with the artillery group of the Ming army at all.

On the side of the Ming army, 5 regiments of 155-mm cannons were deployed, which could form a powerful suppressive artillery fire. They were already waiting with their necks stretched out for the British artillery to open fire! Several school-firing airships for artillery were already waiting in the dark night sky, and the observers above could directly guide the artillery groups on the ground to shoot at the British artillery through telegrams.

On the exposed artillery positions of the British army, there was blood and flesh flying all of a sudden!

At the same time, a newly built airstrip near Jiefang Beach has also been illuminated by white pillars of light, and one after another Ssangyong 2 bombers roared and slid over the lighted runway, and then jumped up and flew into the sky.

The Ming army's subordinate artillery also began to fire intensively, 75 mm infantry and mountain artillery, 120 mm light howitzers, 155 mm medium howitzers, and 80 mm and 120 mm mortars, all joined the chorus of death.

The rain of shells, rockets, and bombs not only made the British troops on the front line feel what a real artillery hell was, but also destroyed the few obstacles in front of the British positions with the highest efficiency. The shells also fell into the British positions in groups, and the smoke columns and fires quickly joined together. Where the artillery fire was most intense, the earth trembled. Run over the ground inch by inch, and seem to destroy everything, leaving only the cratered ground, which looks as if it were the surface of the moon.

All the communication lines of the British army are shouting wildly, and the Ming army is obviously going to launch a big counteroffensive! All the battalion commanders and company commanders who can still take the phone to call to the rear feel that the position they are responsible for is the key breakthrough direction of the Ming army!

In the direction of the main attack of the real Ming army, because the artillery fire of the Ming army was so fierce that even the telephone line was blown up, the communication soldiers did not dare to check the line, so there was no way to report it for a while.

Because the forward positions of the British army were very sloppy - they just began to dig trenches and set up defenses! So the artillery fire of the Ming army soon began to extend backwards.

And the extension of artillery fire means that the onslaught of infantry is about to begin. The British soldiers, who had finally survived the shelling, were also driven by the officers to carry rifles, grenades, and machine guns along the communication trenches to the forward positions, where they were ready to meet the first wave of the Ming army.

On both sides of Highway 1, the infantry who had just survived the bombardment of shells, mortars, and small Dongfeng rockets had just entered the forward positions that had been blown to pieces, and heard the roar of the rumbling motors!

Feeling a little strange, the British, Indian, and thief armies climbed to the edge of the trench, poked out half of their heads and looked out, and then they saw that on a long front, hundreds of ironclad chariots had shown their posture. The vehicles, spitting white smoke, staggered along the shell-ridden front and rumbled toward the British positions.

It's not the first time that the British army here has seen ironclad chariots, but what they have seen before is only a small team composed of a few or a dozen ironclad chariots, and the scene of hundreds of ironclad chariots gathered together, this is the first time they have seen it!

The British, Indian, and thief armies on the entire front were stunned, and they just opened their mouths wide to look at these strange-looking ironclad cars, as if they had rushed out of hell...... There are so many of them that it seems that there are still many infantry with "machine guns" (assault rifles) on the side to cover the attack, and they simply cannot resist it!

And the No. 1 highway they guard is the main road to Sydney, if it is opened by the ironclad vehicles of the Ming army, these chariots with 6 wheels and carrying all kinds of artillery and machine guns will probably break through all the way south along the road! Maybe it will break through all the way to the ..... outside of Sydney.
