The commander-in-chief of Gui State, Su Zihai, has been waiting by the phone.
He kept pacing back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back.
Occasionally I would go out of the room, pick up the telescope and look across the river.
I saw the smoke-filled scene on the other side.
Wu's artillery was conducting indiscriminate bombardments on the attacking Gui army.
The Gui army resisted the fierce artillery fire of the Wu army and continued to push its position southward.
He saw that there was no targeted bombing by the Wu army at the river beach.
However, the Wu army still arranged artillery to bombard the area near the river beach.
The purpose of Wu Jun's actions was mainly to slow down the Gui Army's offensive speed and hinder the Gui Army's personnel and supplies from reaching the front line.
The losses caused by the Wu army's bombing were still within the tolerance of the Gui army.
Commander Su Zihai did not call to inquire about the artillery situation.
He waited for the artillery to report to him and had completed the work of setting up camp.
He did not want to interfere with the rhythm of the artillery. They were already under great pressure. If they were put under pressure, fatal mistakes would affect future strategies.
The two hours specified by Commander Su Zihai arrived quickly.
He had already picked up the phone and tried many times to get the operator to connect to the artillery camp.
He never spoke, but there was a slight sweat on his forehead.
Two hours, this is the limit time that Su Zihai can bear based on his own experience and determined by the frontline troops.
The artillery was unable to establish artillery positions within two hours to suppress the Wu army's artillery firepower, and it was difficult for the frontline troops to continue to hold on.
If the artillery is not ready within the specified time, he can only cancel the battle plan.
This battle plan was already very risky, and it was still implemented without being fully prepared.
Su Zihai was afraid that he would wipe out all the elites that Gui Guo had carefully prepared for many years.
The losses in this war were too great, and he was the sinner of Gui.
While he was weighing the pros and cons in his mind, a familiar voice came from the phone in his hand.
"Report to the headquarters, I am Lin Dachong, the artillery has completed preparations, please give instructions."
Commander Su Zihai's lips curled up slightly. The artillery did not disappoint the public. They completed the preparations within the specified time.
"I am Su Zihai, ordering the artillery to suppress the Wu army's defense line with fire.
General Lin Dachong, repeat the order."
"The artillery received military orders and conducted fire suppression on the Wu army's defense line."
"I'm here, waiting for good news from General Lin Dachong."
After Commander Su Zihai issued the order, he let out a long breath.
Choosing a military adventure this time is already half the battle.
Whether the remaining half can be successful depends on whether General Lin Dachong can command the artillery and display his ability in previous training.
On the south bank of the Danube River, the river beach position occupied by the Gui army.
There are a lot of cars parked now.
The engines of these cars have been ignited, and the diesel engines are making a standby sound.
General Lin Dachong was responsible for commanding the artillery and conducting fire strikes against the Wu army.
The artillery under his command is a strategic artillery with artillery suppression capabilities, all composed of heavy artillery units.
Currently, 80 rocket launchers and 160 120mm towed artillery pieces are ready for launch.
General Lin Dachong had just called the headquarters and received the exact order.
He put down the phone and immediately called the artillery staff.
"Commander Su Zihai has issued an order to continue to suppress the Wu army's defense line with firepower in accordance with the previous plan.
Now look at the watch. Five minutes later, the first salvo will begin.
After the first salvo, they immediately moved to the previously planned launching position.
Wu Jun built a fort, so after they were bombarded by artillery fire, their losses would not be too heavy.
Our cannons have basically no armor. Once they are bombed by the Wu army, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties.
Everything has two sides, there are advantages and disadvantages.
The Wu Army's artillery has strong protective capabilities, which is an advantage to the Wu Army. The disadvantage is that the Wu Army's artillery is fixed in a certain position and cannot move.
The location of Wu Jun's fort is already memorized in our hearts.
The artillery parameters have been calculated in advance, and our ability to arrange positions is the interval between our salvos.
Our protection ability is not high, unlike before, we can only be beaten passively.
Today's artillery has been equipped with wheels.
After the volley is completed, the position can be moved immediately.
As long as we move fast enough, Wu Jun's artillery shells will not be able to catch up with us."
After General Lin Dachong said these words, the artillery staff members all had smiles on their faces.
It's hard to say how much results they can bring to Wu's army.
But they were sure that Wu Jun's artillery fire would not be able to catch up.
General Lin Dachong began to check with all artillery staff officers.
They were about to launch a volley at the Wu army's position.
Volley has strict time requirements.
The time accuracy of today's watches and pocket watches is not that reliable.
After General Lin Dachong checked the time, he finally said confidently: "We want Wu Jun to see what the artillery of the new era is.
A stationary fort can only be beaten passively when encountering highly mobile artillery."
The artillery staff officers quickly returned to their respective artillery groups.
They already knew the parameters of the bombardment by heart.
Long-range rocket launchers are used to deal with the forts behind the Wu army.
Artillery with short range can deal with the Wu army forts and bunkers near the front.
Five minutes passed quickly, and the artillery staff issued orders at the same time.
"Fire a salvo and empty the ammunition."
"Three rapid fire shots, start immediately."
The rocket launcher troops directly empty the rockets in the barrels.
The artillery unit immediately began to fire three rapid rounds.
The artillery volleys were deafening.
The artillery shells flew toward the Wu army's position with a screaming sound.
The Gui Army artillery fired a salvo.
None of the rocket launcher troops put away the erect rocket launcher barrels.
The artillerymen took the cars directly from the front and drove to the predetermined positions.
From the very beginning of its design, the rocket launcher had the ability to move quickly.
The Gui Army's towed artillery, after completing three rapid fire rounds.
The artilleryman immediately cleared the barrel, pushed the wheeled cannon, and attached his hitch to the trailer.
The trailer waited until all the artillerymen were on board, then dragged the artillery to quickly move their positions.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! General Lin Dachong saw the artillery troops and quickly moved their positions as planned.
There was a faint smile on his face. If the artillery unit wanted to launch an attack in a conventional way.
After landing, launch the attack immediately.
The reason why it takes two hours to arrange is to set up multiple artillery positions to prevent them from being overwhelmed by the Wu army's artillery.
After their volley, the artillery will disperse and attack the Wu army according to the previously set goals.
…
Commander Li Zhipeng listened to the report on the phone.
He asked angrily: "I was hit by artillery fire from the Gui army and immediately organized a counterattack. Do I still need to ask for instructions on this matter?"
The situation on the battlefield took a turn for the worse, making Commander Li Zhipeng extremely anxious.
The Wu army failed to drive back the Gui army's landing troops, and now they finally tasted the consequences.
The Wu army had previously maintained artillery suppression against the Gui army.
The Gui army established a foothold on the river bank. They used rocket launchers and a small number of artillery to suppress the Wu army's firepower.
The total firepower of the Wu army on the battlefield was several times greater than that of the Gui army.
However, on local battlefields, the Wu army's firepower was not as good as the Gui army.
The Gui Army infantry on the front line, supported by artillery firepower, continuously uprooted the Wu Army's positions.
The only fortunate thing is that Wu Jun's artillery is protected by forts.
Suffering from the fire bombardment by the Gui army, the losses are not too great now.
"Commander Yu, we can't bear it anymore.
The rocket charge exceeds that of artillery shells. As long as a few rounds fall near the fort, the huge shock wave formed by the artillery shells will kill the soldiers inside.
The structure of the fort will also suffer huge damage, and it will collapse after not being able to withstand a few rounds.
We tried to counterattack, and finally found that the Gui army's artillery fire was transferred very quickly.
We have been unable to catch up with the Guangxi artillery position.
We hope to send infantry to attack the artillery positions of the Gui Army, and our fort will provide artillery support."
When Commander Yu Zhipeng heard this situation, he didn't have a good way to deal with it for a while.
As for sending infantry to attack, he had also given orders to the troops previously transferred to support to attack the positions occupied by the Gui army.
However, these troops were unable to attack due to the high density of firepower of the Gui army.
We are firmly opposed to sending them to die, and we must protest to the Governor's Office.
Commander Yu Zhipeng found that he could not command the army, and his already anxious heart became even more frantic.
If a general cannot command his troops, his career will be over.
These people have chosen to disobey, and their fate may not be good, but now they will never compromise.
Commander Yu Zhipeng knew that this was a chain reaction caused by the order he had given before.
Chief of Staff Qi Long knew that if he didn't take action, Wu Jun's position would really be lost.
The state of Wu can accept defeat on the front line, but it must not accept a defeat caused by the incompetence of the Wu army generals.
Chief of Staff Qi Long immediately stepped forward and took the microphone away from Commander Yu Zhipeng.
"I am Chief of Staff Qi Long.
The total area of the Gui army's position was very small.
The Gui Army moved its positions to make it difficult for you to find the location of the Gui Army.
Then carry out an artillery fire coverage strike.
At this moment, there is no need to save artillery shells.
The rocket launchers in Changzhou no longer need to be hidden.
The rocket launcher is more lethal. If it can really hit the artillery of the Guangxi Army, it will be a huge profit.
As long as the artillery fire of the Gui army is suppressed, the troops on the front line will immediately regain their positions."
"Chief of Staff, we know what to do."
The Wu State's forts no longer wanted to concentrate their firepower on attacking the Gui Army's artillery positions.
They used extended artillery fire and covering bombing to prepare to destroy the Guangxi Army's artillery.
…
General Lin Dachong of Gui State saw that Wu State had changed its tactics.
They no longer pursued the artillery positions, but instead bombed the area.
This is indeed what they are afraid of now.
As long as the artillery of the Gui Army is bombed, it will suffer heavy losses.
Wu Jun's artillery firepower was obviously much sparser than before.
They have gone through several rounds of bombings and have achieved good results.
General Lin Dachong knew that he must not let go of this breath now.
He immediately boosted morale and said: "Brothers, Wu Jun is now at the end of his rope.
They even used this stupid method that consumes ammunition.
This shows that the Wu army's infantry is afraid of our army's firepower and dare not come to encircle and suppress them.
Wu Jun could not bomb all areas in a short period of time.
With our high mobility, we were still able to avoid the Wu army's covering bombing.
The infantry brothers were able to endure the indiscriminate bombardment of the Wu army.
Our artillery is also good, so there is no need to fear the Wu army's bombing.
If we escape Wu Jun's three-point attack, victory will belong to us."
General Lin Dachong's words not only inspired the rocket launcher troops around him.
The message was quickly sent over the radio.
His words were a great encouragement to the artillery of the Guangxi Army.
General Lin Dachong's words were only encouragement.
The Gui army really wanted to compete with the Wu army in terms of firepower consumption, but they really couldn't.
The ammunition of the Gui army needs to be transported across the river.
Wu Jun's current fort still blocks the river.
Even if there is no blockade and artillery shells need to be transported from a distance, it is not as convenient and quick as Wu Jun's taking the artillery shells from the fort warehouse.
In order to avoid casualties, General Lin Dachong fell into a sterile trap.
When he woke up, he discovered that Wu Jun had trapped Gui Jun in a small area through cross-suppression.
Wu Jun's counterattack by the Gui Army's artillery basically determined the general direction of the Gui Army's artillery.
Next, the Gui army will face the most violent artillery attack from the Wu army.
General Lin Dachong frowned and said: "We can't sit still and wait for death, we must rush through Wu Jun's fire blockade.
In order to suppress us, the Wu army formed a fire blockade, and the density of shelling was not very high.
Now that our position has been determined, we will bear the strongest blow next."
General Lin Dachong explained the current situation clearly and immediately ordered the artillery to rush south.
They cannot return to the river bank, there is no dock here.
The artillerymen wanted to board the ship and evacuate, but they couldn't do it in a short time.
The only way to survive is to rush south to continue to support the army that has completed the defense change and seize the Wu Army's position.
They can also hide in the fort, and the next step is to fight a war of attrition with the Wu army.
This is also the purpose of Commander Su Zihai.
The Gui army did not even think about it and captured the Wu army's defense line in a short time.
It is basically impossible for the Wu army to capture the defense line that took several years to build. It was captured by them in a short time.
The Kingdom of Wu is not as poor as the Kingdom of Shu, and does not have much resources to build defense lines.
Occupying more positions in Wu State will give Gui State's artillery more room for action.
Only then could they use similar tactics to continuously consume the Wu army and finally win.
General Lin Dachong sent a report to Commander Su Zihai to explain his thoughts.
He immediately ordered the artillery of Gui State to prepare to break through the artillery blockade in spite of Wu State's bombardment.
The truck drives over the bumpy land.
They did not dare to drive on the roads at all. Those places were the focus of Wu State's artillery.
Even on this uneven land, shells still continued to fall.
An artillery shell landed near a truck carrying artillery shells, directly detonating the vehicle and causing serious damage to three surrounding vehicles.
When General Lin Dachong saw this situation, he immediately shouted through the loudspeaker: "Increase the distance between vehicles, especially the trucks transporting artillery shells."
The artillery of Gui State faced Wu State's bombardment and tried to break through the blockade.
They suffered huge casualties and finally broke through the blockade.
They looked at the area inside the blockade and received a salvo of unarmed artillery.
There are so many cannonballs that they want to plow the ground all over.
General Lin Dachong looked at the scarred artillery unit.
Their casualties were somewhat heavy, but they still retained their combat effectiveness.
Wu Jun consumed a lot of ammunition this time. They want to carry out area bombing again and need to replenish ammunition.
General Lin Dachong will never give Wu this chance again.
He will cooperate with the infantry to seize more positions of the Wu army.
