Chapter 3070: Scouts Have No Moral Principles

Again, the densely packed Tu-2S bombers led the charge, with sufficient 500 kg aerial bombs mounted under their wings and on their bellies.

The Japanese army was not just bombing, and they did not do any air defense at all. The ready-made anti-aircraft guns set up on the positions opened fire.

Various 20, 25, and 37 mm anti-aircraft guns fired at the same time, and the barrage of fire was quite dense. The black smoke that exploded in the air was one after another, forming a piece.

Unfortunately, the anti-aircraft guns only fired for less than a moment. The Japanese anti-aircraft artillery, who had removed their camouflage and exposed the position of the anti-aircraft position, were met with a roaring and sky-breaking rain of explosive fire.

"Bombardment! Russians bombardment! Hide quickly!"

The sergeant waving his command knife next to the gun position shouted anxiously, and the Japanese anti-aircraft soldiers sitting on the anti-aircraft gun seat and firing the gun also hurriedly got off the gun to avoid it.

But the rain of fire in the sky finally got ahead and fell straight down.

Boom boom boom --

Boom boom --

The Andryusha rocket artillery battalion, which was specially on standby to guard the exposed positions of the Japanese artillery, opened fire.

Although the anti-aircraft artillery position is not a field artillery position in the strict sense, its importance is still not low and cannot be underestimated.

Moreover, clearing the ground anti-aircraft fire threat for air support is the job and duty of the Kurbalov Division that called for air support.

The Andryusha rocket artillery, which is connected to the front-line reconnaissance troops in real time to receive coordinate information, can stop and fire at any time without deployment, and has rapid response capabilities. With only one round of salvos, hundreds of 310mm heavy rockets fell from the sky, turning the entire Japanese air defense position into a sea of ​​fire and explosions.

The anti-aircraft shells randomly stacked on the Japanese air defense positions became more of an accelerant for the explosion, catalyzing a chain reaction.

The power of the 310mm rocket barrage was already not small, and the continuous explosion of ammunition like dominoes was even more terrible.

The chain explosion was so loud that it shook the earth and mountains, and even the Japanese soldiers who were far away from the killing radius felt the strong shock.

"What's going on? Report the situation!"

He was almost knocked to the ground by the strong shock while holding the corner of the table. Looking at the Red Army bombers above his head that had not yet entered the bombing range and had not started bombing, the Lieutenant General Division Commander was puzzled and didn't know where this explosion that was as strong as an air raid came from. He just felt a bad premonition.

The "sad news" with a mournful expression on his face from the combat staff under him had already staggered and followed closely.

"Mr. Division Commander, it's bad! The Russians used rockets and heavy artillery to cover our air defense positions! Now it's a sea of ​​fire!"

Rocket artillery itself is not a new thing. The Japanese army, who have never eaten pork but have seen pigs run, certainly know that there is such a powerful type of long-range artillery.

After hearing that their own air defense positions had just opened fire, they planned to drive away the Russian bombers and protect the ground positions as far as possible from the bombing distance. As a result, they were blown into a bird before they fired two rounds. The angry division commander almost went berserk on the spot.

"Baga! Why are the Russian artillery so accurate!? The air defense positions are clearly in the depths. Even if they opened fire, they should not be observed so quickly and accurately by the Russians at such a long distance! What's going on!?"

""

The combat staff who came to report the death did not speak, and the chief of staff, who knew that he should speak, did not refuse to evade, so he took the initiative to step forward and spoke in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency, the division commander, it was the Russian scouts, who have been wandering around the periphery of our position."

"They occupied various relatively high points, such as slopes and hillocks, and used their long-range optical sighting equipment to monitor our position at all times. They had a full view of our every move, and they must have been able to send back real-time feedback via radio, which led to the current situation."

"What!? Scouts? Didn't I order the Russian scouts to be driven away? Why are there still some now? And why did you tell me only now!"

"Your Excellency, the division commander, the situation is much more complicated than we expected"

It feels like the chief of staff is really frustrated.

Of course, he did something like expelling and annihilating the Russian scouts who approached him, but whether he did it or not had no direct relationship with the final result.

Doing it does not mean that it will be completed and done well.

The Japanese infantry riding sidecar motorcycles and sitting in troop transport trucks to expel the leader's scouts was really unexpected. Those daring Russian scouts saw them coming, not only did they not run away, but they even drove up the tanks that could carry people.

The machine guns of unknown caliber made a lot of noises, and the sidecar motorcycles were smashed into pieces on the spot, and even the Japanese soldiers in the troop transport trucks that followed were directly beaten into freshly heated Japanese teppanyaki with meat stuffing wrapped in iron sheets.

Not to mention that the Russian scouts were sent out in squads, and even the scouts were equipped with the kind of barrels that could fire cannons on their shoulders, plus a squad of fully\semi-automatic rifles and a light machine gun.

All kinds of light and heavy weapons burst into fire, and the Japanese soldiers who went to deal with the Russian scouts not only failed to complete the task, but also got themselves involved and never returned.

The Japanese chief of staff, who learned of this situation, was so angry that he wanted to order the artillery to open fire and blow up the arrogant Russians who were so close to the face for reconnaissance.

But on second thought, he could not afford the responsibility of letting the artillery position be exposed so easily.

It is really not worth it to lose the entire artillery position in order to drive out a group of Russian scouts. God knows what kind of terrifying anti-artillery firepower the Russians will bring.

If the tube artillery doesn't work, how about using mortars?

No, although the Russian scouts are close, they are just stuck outside the range of their own mortars and wandering on the edge. It is obvious that they did it on purpose.

If the troops are not sent enough, they can't fight, and firing artillery won't work.

The chief of staff, who was so angry that his scalp was numb, gritted his teeth and stamped his feet. He raised his hand and sent a squadron out to take a car, equipped with a wheeled machine gun armored vehicle, and went straight to the Russian scouts in an attempt to win by numbers. I don't believe that they can't win this time.

Unexpectedly, the Russian scouts ran away this time. When a whole scout squad saw the Japanese army coming from a distance, they got into the tank that could pull people without saying a word and drove away, leaving a pile of dust and diesel exhaust for the Japanese army to enjoy.

The horsepower is not as great as that of the Russians, and the wheeled off-road mobility is even more explosive with the tracks.

The Japanese squadron, which could not even catch up, had no other choice but to watch the Russians run away after pretending to be powerful.

The squadron leader, who was so angry that he could not catch the enemy and could not catch up with him, directly drew out his command knife and yelled at the air, cursing the Russian cowards for not knowing how to run away and not daring to fight.

Cursing is not a solution, it can't solve the problem.

In the absence of an outer position, the Japanese army is even less likely to let such a lone army stay outside the position for a long time. If the Russian army really came or the shells fell, they would not be able to escape and there would be no rescue.

There is no way, if we can't catch the enemy, let's go back. At least we drove away the Russian scouts, which can barely be regarded as completing the mission.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the Japanese squadron left and returned to the position, the Russian scout who had just disappeared in a flash came back in the tank that could carry people.

It returned to the small slope intact, continued to set up long-range optical sighting equipment, turned on the car radio, and reported all the actions and details of the Japanese position in real time.

If too few soldiers were sent, they would not be able to fight, and if too many were sent, they would just run away. No matter how hard they tried, they could not catch up, let alone use artillery to bombard them.

After listening to such a "wonderful process", the division commander almost blacked out and fainted on the spot. He never expected that the inconspicuous Russian reconnaissance tank would be so unethical.

At the same time, something more exciting had quietly arrived.

The 500-kilogram bomb heading straight for the ground target had been detached from the rack and was whistling harshly.
