Four Hundred and Seventieth IX Festival Resistance (2)

At the end of the communication, Commander Yu picked up the microphone of another radio station and said in a calm and powerful voice: "Artillery, target airport, firepower interception for five minutes!"

Thirty-six 105mm wheeled assault guns of the two assault gun battalions scattered on the south bank of the Huangsha River received orders at the same time, and quickly obtained the target information provided by the mobile soldiers through the data link.

Before the outbreak of insect plagues, wheeled assault guns were generally assigned to mechanized units to provide accompanying firepower for machine-gunned units. The combat missions were anti-armor, fighting against enemy armored units, attacking bunkers, neatness, firepower points, and covering infantry assaults.

China is a staunch supporter of the artillery doctrine. After the outbreak of the insect plague, the artillery played an irreplaceable role in the process of fighting the insect swarm. Moreover, the artillery formation is flexible and easy to use, and the cost is much lower than that of air strikes. extremely important combat position.

As a result, the military began to increase the number of artillery units in large numbers, bringing the cannon theory to the extreme. Assault guns, which can fight and run with fierce firepower, are especially popular with artillery. The Shayuan garrison has only one brigade and two battalions with thirty-six guns. assault gun.

Eleven seconds after receiving the order, a wheeled assault gun hidden between the two buildings was the first to fire. The huge bang was filled with smoke, the body of the assault gun trembled violently, and the shells flew from the chamber to the Huangsha North River. Shore Airport.

The scattered assault guns were five kilometers away from the airport, and eight kilometers away from the airport. The shells fired from different positions and angles flew towards the common target. After a few seconds, the screaming sound shredded the air above the airport. More than thirty The cannonballs landed one after another within a very short time difference, and there were explosions one after another. The explosions tore the wolf worms, overturned the wolf worms, and shattered the wolf worms. The dense swarm of worms was vulnerable to the intensive artillery fire.

Digitalization makes artillery even more powerful. Even if there are no concentrated artillery positions in urban areas, it will not affect the accuracy of artillery salvos.

It wasn't that the Shayuan Brigade didn't want to use artillery before, but that after the swarms entered the urban area, they mixed with the defenders, forming a situation similar to street fighting. The defenders were scattered all over the north bank of the Huangsha River, and the swarms were running so fast that even if the troops called for artillery support, the swarms would have left by the time the shells flew over, so the artillery had been useless since the start of the war.

Not only was the artillery of the Shayuan Brigade useless, but there were also two long-range rocket artillery groups within 300 kilometers that could provide support firepower for Shayuan, but no suitable opportunity had been found.

The defense line established by Bian Ge not only blocked the raging insect swarm, but also made the insect swarm concentrated on one side of the defense line. The more wolf insects entered the airport, the greater the results achieved by the artillery.

If it wasn't for the unsatisfactory timeliness and accuracy of the long-range rocket launcher, Commander Yu must have called for friendly artillery fire and requested firepower coverage.

The artillery fire scattered the dense insect swarm, Bian Ge decisively ordered the troops to withdraw from the position,

The soldiers jumped onto the armored vehicle one after another, but they did not enter the armored vehicle. Instead, they put the machine gun on the roof of the vehicle to prevent the swarm from breaking through the artillery fire.

There were indeed lucky wolf worms that managed to pass through the artillery fire, but unfortunately the number was too small. Bian Ge, who personally cut it off, just waved his hand, and the machine guns on several armored vehicles immediately wiped out the trailing wolf worms.

The troops withdrew to the first intersection, and two armored vehicles stopped around the intersection. The machine guns on the vehicle and the rifles of the soldiers fired at the same time, trying their best to block the insect swarms from the east and west sides.

The machine guns of the retreating troops joined the fray, pinning down the swarm's vanguard at once.

Seeing this, Bian Ge yelled over the radio: "Ye Han, retreat!" The squadron he led had only ten armored vehicles, and the distance was not far, and he saw Ye Han who was holding on tight at a glance.

Ye Han waved his arms and shouted: "Get in the car!"

The soldiers got on the car immediately, and two armored vehicles joined the retreat. Then Bian Ge issued a new order. Half of the armored vehicles in the convoy withdrew at an accelerated pace, replacing their companions at several intersections in the south, and taking over more intersections, leaving behind the garrison stranded on the north bank. Sufficient time to evacuate.

Wolf worms kept coming from both sides, and the team retreated step by step to resist, and gradually retreated to the south bank of the Huangsha River.

Strangely, there were basically no wolves approaching the south side of the convoy, but a large number of wolves followed from the north side, and there were still dense explosions coming from the direction of the airport. Could it be that there was a mistake in the interception of artillery fire?

At this time, Bian Ge suddenly received a satellite communication from the Beidu Joint Command Center: "Bian Ge, there are a large number of wolves on both sides of you, speed up and disengage!"

At the same time as receiving the order, Bian Ge also received real-time satellite images from Beidu. He clearly saw the retreating convoy and even himself. More importantly, he saw the situation outside the retreat route!

The east-west fork of this road was blocked by the buildings blasted by the garrison, and the outside situation could not be seen at all. However, on the satellite image sent by Beidu, it could be seen that there were many wolves wandering on both sides of the retreat route. The front line of the swarm was always in line with the The retreating convoy remained parallel.

It is not surprising that Beidu knows the situation here. With such a serious problem in Shayuan, it is impossible for Beidu not to pay attention to the situation in Shayuan. Maybe there is more than one satellite in the sky staring at Shayuan.

Bian Ge hurriedly ordered the troops to speed up, and the convoy gradually escaped from the swarm's pursuit, but would the garrison ahead have time to retreat to the south bank?

After a little distance, Bian Ge quickly contacted the Shayuan headquarters, passed the coordinates to the headquarters, and requested firepower to block the evacuation route to buy time for the garrison to evacuate.

Naturally, Commander Yu would not shirk, and immediately ordered the artillery to drop all the shells on the new target.

At this time, the artillery has consumed two-thirds of the shells and obtained new target data through data link sharing, and the shooting data has been moving south.

The artillerymen let out an angry roar again, and the shells that fell from the sky fell accurately behind the retreating armored convoy, drowning the swarm of bugs that were pursuing them.

Bian Ge did not relax, turned his head to look to the south, and could already see the soldiers of the garrison running towards the direction of the Huangsha River along the way.

With the speed of the convoy, it won't take long to catch up with the evacuated garrison. These soldiers must not be able to outrun the ferocious wolves.

There is still one kilometer to go to the bridge over the Huangsha River. In any case, we can’t just watch the soldiers being overwhelmed by wolves. Bian Ge ordered loudly: "Attention everyone, get out of the car and run, and give the car to the friendly army!"

The armored vehicle showed no sign of slowing down. The well-trained mobile suit jumped off the roof of the vehicle as if performing stunts. When both feet touched the ground, they took great strides and galloped, keeping in line with the forward direction of the armored vehicle, even at the same speed. Difference.

All mobile soldiers know that facing the forward direction when jumping out of the car can maximize safety, and facing the back or sideways is more dangerous.
