Thank you book friends for your stamp.) There are so many scouts and cavalry. At most, there are more than 200 people. Then there is a large troop of cavalry. The cavalry on horseback are talking and laughing with binoculars. It looks like They don't look serious. But their telescopes can measure distances. What's more, they have a unique weapon. They launch a hot air balloon. The hot air balloon is not very high when it rises. It is more than a hundred meters. There are several people in the big basket. I set up an oversized telescope and observed carefully. After struggling for more than half an hour, the team slowly retreated. This angered the Liaocheng defenders. It was clear that they did not take them seriously. But there were orders from the top. We can only defend and cannot attack. In desperation, everyone is still hiding in trenches and anti-gun holes.

Not long after the scouts left, artillery shells rained down. The huge shells were like thunder. Boom, boom. The artillery was so fierce that it was unparalleled. At least fifty large-caliber cannons were firing.

The Fengjun soldiers on the first line of defense suffered severe torture. In the underground command post, the front-line regiment commander wanted to shake the phone. "Hello. Hello. Hello. Headquarters. I am suffering from severe shelling. Fierce shelling. Requesting artillery support."

People from the general headquarters had also discovered that they were being shelled early. They also quickly observed the approximate coordinates of the artillery positions of the National Defense Army. The artillerymen could no longer hold their nerve. "Order the artillerymen to counterattack. We must destroy the spirit of their artillerymen." The Liaocheng garrison headquarters issued the order.

Although Fengjun's artillery does not have self-propelled artillery, its firepower is still very powerful. Dozens of large-caliber artillery are also very powerful.

The cannons opened their coats one after another and raised their heads high. At this time, the headquarters of the National Defense Army far behind the position. Tang Haoran smiled mysteriously on his face and said to the adjutant: "Their artillery has moved. .Immediately order our self-propelled artillery to evacuate quickly."

"yes."

Not only the fifty Cheetah self-propelled guns that were exploratory shelling quickly evacuated. At this moment, fifty aircrafts on the flat land not far away took off. One after another, they flew into the sky. Most of the Wasp aircraft fuselages were made of wood. It is lighter. No special place is needed to take off. A simple flat ground will do.

Fifty planes flew straight into the sky. They even avoided circling and headed straight for Fengjun's hidden artillery positions. The planes initially flew very high, at an altitude of more than a thousand meters. After discovering Fengjun's artillery positions, they lowered themselves one by one. Planes and aerial bombs the size of watermelons fell from the sky. One after another, they were struck down one after another. While bombing, machine guns were fired. Bullets were shooting at the artillery positions from the sky.

It was only then that the anti-aircraft machine guns hidden around the artillery position discovered that the target of the plane was the artillery. They all shouted: "They are here to blow up the cannon. Fight."

The veteran Fengjun's combat effectiveness is still amazing. What's more, there are many anti-aircraft machine guns hidden around the artillery positions. They instantly caught the National Guard Air Force by surprise. Four planes smoked and fell into dust.

The planes that reacted raised their altitude and poured bombs down crazily. The artillery positions below were completely engulfed in thick smoke and flames. The aerial bombs carried by the Hornet planes were not powerful bombs, but there were artillery positions below. There were a lot of artillery shells. The artillery shells were detonated by aerial bombs. One after another, the explosion filled the sky.

At the Liaocheng garrison headquarters, the commander-in-chief asked: "What's going on outside? Where did the explosion come from?"

At this time, a soldier ran in in a hurry. "It's bad. The artillery position was bombed by enemy planes."

"Why don't you sound the air defense siren? The air defense troops are here." The commander-in-chief was angry.

"They came too fast. They were already over the artillery position when the alarm was raised. The air defense troops counterattacked fiercely and killed four aircraft," the soldier said.

"Got it." After saying this, the commander-in-chief immediately sent people to the artillery position. At this moment, the plane had already flown away.

Tang Haoran has received first-hand feedback from the National Defense Army Headquarters: "The air force sneak attack was successful. The Fengjun artillery position was destroyed."

"Okay. It's really good." Yang Dong also said happily.

The reporting soldier went on to say: "The Air Force suffered heavy losses. Four aircraft were shot down. Six aircraft were wounded."

Tang Haoran said: "Now we are in trouble. Commander Kang doesn't know what to say. The injured pilot will be sent for treatment immediately."

"The plane was shot. The pilots are fine. It's just that the pilots of the four downed planes may not survive," the soldier said.

Yang Dong said: "Let's launch a general attack immediately. The longer it is delayed, the worse it will be for us."

Tang Haoran and Yang Dong immediately launched a second attack. The second round of attack was a fatal blow.

Now bomb with ordinary large-caliber artillery, and then extend the shooting. Then the self-propelled mortar charges forward and bombs all the suspicious points again with artillery shells.

Especially the long-barreled Linghu self-propelled anti-aircraft gun. It is completely like a sniper rifle in the artillery. Often a machine gun fire point has just opened fire. Once the gun hits it, it immediately goes silent. The Cheetah large-caliber self-propelled artillery slowly opens up, one by one. Put down the support behind your buttocks. The soldiers came down and got busy.

A few minutes later, the artillery position was constructed. The artillery fire roared. The second attack was on the second and third lines of defense. If it were not for the fear of casualties among the people, it could directly bomb into the city.

On an off-road tank not far away, Tang Haoran was holding a telescope. Next to him, Yang Dong was also holding a telescope to observe. Yang Dong watched this earth-shattering scene and said with emotion: "No wonder everyone says that the artillery division is the combat force of the National Defense Army." The strongest division. If there are five more large-caliber artillery pieces, I'm afraid no one will be your opponent."

"Ah. Haha. That's what you think. The arms have always been incompatible. Artillery is nothing if it is not protected. If artillery is really that powerful, there is no need to send your division. Why doesn't the commander-in-chief let one of our divisions capture Liaocheng? Take it." Tang Haoran smiled.

Yang Dong said: "Cavalry is not suitable for sieges and street fighting. The commander-in-chief should send an infantry brigade. I don't know why he only sent two of our divisions."

"I don't understand either. But I think it shouldn't be wrong. After all, there are no fools in the staff department." Tang Haoran said.

Just as he was talking, the soldiers from the front came over to report: "Report to the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief. The soldiers on the third line of the Fengjun army were completely defeated. The defeated troops poured out of the trenches and retreated towards the city."

"It seems it's time for us to take action." Yang Dong said.

"I'll let twenty self-propelled artillery take the lead for you. You have to be careful about their firepower. If the resistance is too great, pull back immediately." Tang Haoran said.

Yang Dong said: "Don't worry. The cavalry is just not suitable for attacking fortresses. But it doesn't mean that they don't have the ability to attack fortresses at all."
