Warlord: Red Alert Base, I challenge the whole world alone

"Crunch, crunch..."

On the way to the Jiuding Mountain Plain, a row of Leopard medium tanks were lined up in a row, slowly approaching the direction of Jiuding Mountain.

Behind each Panther tank was at least a squad of soldiers.

At this moment, Jiuding Mountain was once again bombarded by the heavy artillery brigade.

Infantry, tanks and artillery coordinated operations are also one of the most basic tactics for Red Alert soldiers.

On the plains leading to Heitie Mountain and Mulong Mountain, M24 Chaffee light tanks also covered the advance of the two battalions.

"Report to the division commander, a large-scale tank force of the Restoration Army has been discovered on the plains. They have launched a ground attack on us."

At the 22nd Division's headquarters, a combat staff officer also received a call from the front line at this moment, and immediately spoke to Qiao Qingyuan with an anxious look on his face.

"What? A massive tank force?"

Qiao Qingyuan was shocked when he heard this, and then said, "I'll go to the mountain to take a look myself."

"Commander, the Restoration Army's artillery is still conducting a covering bombardment. It's too dangerous for you to go."

"I'll go up the side, it's okay!"

After saying that, Qiao Qingyuan took several guards and moved towards the side of Jiuding Mountain. There was also an observation post here, and it had not been hit by artillery fire.

The Fuxing Army's artillery bombardment of Jiuding Mountain was basically concentrated on the defensive fortifications halfway up the mountain and on the top of the mountain.

When Qiao Qingyuan saw through the telescope the Leopard medium tanks moving slowly forward on the plain, his pupils couldn't help but shrink, and his heart was immediately filled with shock.

"This... This is a heavy tank... The Restoration Army actually has heavy tanks."

He originally thought that the tanks reported from the front were the French Renault tanks.

Their troops were equipped with more than a dozen 37mm flat-fire guns, which could be used both against fortifications and against tanks.

This thing has no problem hitting those small Renault tanks.

But the moment he saw the Leopard tank, his heart sank.

From the long-barreled tank gun and its huge size, he knew that this tank could not be penetrated by a 37mm flat-fire gun.

"Send a telegram to the military headquarters, requesting artillery support, otherwise Jiuding Mountain will be undefendable."

Tong Yong was also shocked when he received the telegram from the 22nd Division.

"Heavy tanks, 45 in total... Damn it, how could the Renaissance Army have heavy tanks in Qidong Province?"

This was completely unexpected.

At this time he had to use his trump card.

"Order the 6th and 12th Heavy Artillery Regiments to support the Jiudingshan position and bombard the Restoration Army's tank units. Do not let them pose a threat to the Jiudingshan position."

The 6th and 12th heavy artillery regiments were dispersed in 9 artillery positions in battalion units, the farthest of which was only about 5 kilometers away from the Jiudingshan position.

After receiving the order, nine artillery positions launched intensive artillery attacks on the attacking commandos.

With bursts of artillery fire, dozens of shells whizzed towards the commandos.

"Bombardment!"

When they saw the shells falling from the sky, all the Red Alert soldiers reacted quickly and lay down on the spot.

One Leopard medium tank after another also stopped abruptly to provide cover for the infantry.

Considering the size of the Leopard medium tank, it can still withstand it as long as it is not a direct hit.

“Boom…Boom…Boom…”

Balls of fire rose into the air from the group of tanks, raising a cloud of dust and gunpowder.

"Immediately locate the enemy artillery positions and launch a counterattack, focusing on destroying the target artillery.

Where are the Air Force fleet? Why haven't they arrived yet? "

Luo Qing, who had been watching the Jiuding Mountain position, immediately asked the chief of staff next to him.

"We contacted the Air Force five minutes ago, and they will arrive at the Jiudingshan position in Zibo in 10 minutes at most."

We contacted each other five minutes ago, so there are still five minutes left.

When the artillery of the Anwu Army launched a counterattack, it was immediately captured by the FW-189 reconnaissance aircraft circling in the sky.

Looking along the direction of the trajectory, it is not difficult to find the artillery group located in the plain behind the mountain.

The detailed coordinates of each artillery position were reported.

At this time, not only the two heavy artillery brigades were in motion, but the K5E railway guns and Katyusha rocket launchers also adjusted their parameters and locked onto the enemy's artillery positions.

As long as the enemy's artillery is destroyed, it is only a matter of time before this line of defense is broken, and it will not take too long.

"Target enemy artillery position, distance 7850 meters, azimuth 01-17, firing angle 08-26, high-explosive grenade, instantaneous fuse, five-round rapid-fire..."

"put!"

With the skilled operation of the Red Alert artillery, the first round of counterattack shells was fired in less than two minutes.

The first to launch a counterattack were 12 155mm Long-legged Tom long-range cannons, targeting a Japanese-style Meiji 6-year type 120mm howitzer battalion of the th Northern Frontier Artillery Regiment.

When constructing artillery positions, the Sixth Artillery Regiment of the Northern Xinjiang Army built them completely according to Western standards.

Each gun has its own independent artillery fortification.

For example, the Japanese 120mm heavy howitzer has a gun turret depth of 1.5 meters.

There are a large number of cat-ear holes in the fortifications, which are used to hide people and store ammunition, as well as drainage ditches, water storage pits, communication trenches, etc.

The work is quite complete and professional.

But what they encountered was the unreasonable Fuxing Army's heavy artillery brigade, whose smallest caliber was 155 mm, which could not be defended by such flimsy artillery fortifications.

"Bombardment!"

"Didi, didi, didi..."

Sharp and rapid whistles echoed throughout the artillery position.

All the artillery crew members began to move the shells away from the artillery to prevent them from exploding and affecting the artillery.

Generally speaking, as long as there is no direct hit, the cannons located in the fortifications will not suffer any damage.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

Dense artillery shells fell like raindrops, and in an instant the entire artillery position was engulfed in flames from the explosion of 155mm high-explosive grenades.

The earth shook and the sound of cannons resounded like thunder.

The sky was filled with flying dirt and gravel.

Immediately, a 155mm high-explosive grenade fell less than 3 meters away from an artillery position.

A huge gap was directly blown in the artillery fortifications.

Several artillerymen on this side were blown away and their bodies were torn to pieces in mid-air.

The Japanese 120mm field guns in the fortifications were also covered by the flying soil.

Although there was no direct damage to the 120mm field gun, it temporarily lost its ability to fire.

Behind a hill about 4 kilometers away from Jiuding Mountain, there is an entire Katyusha rocket artillery battalion hidden.

Rows of Katyusha rocket launchers are arranged neatly, with a total of 24.

The target of this Katyusha rocket launcher battalion was a German 150mm heavy howitzer battalion, totaling 18 guns.

There are two things that artillery fear most in war.

One is air strikes, which are very deadly when there is no air superiority.

Another one is the rocket launcher.

Rocket launchers are really unreasonable. A salvo of fire can provide dense artillery coverage that can cover the entire artillery position, leaving you with nowhere to escape.

Therefore, rocket launchers have always been one of the best anti-artillery weapons.

This was also the first time that the Renaissance Army used the secret weapon, the Katyusha rocket launcher.

"emission!!"

"Whoosh whoosh..."

With the order, one Katyusha rocket launcher after another pressed the launch button.

The 132mm rocket on the I-shaped launch pad roared into the air with thick smoke.

In an instant, the entire Katyusha artillery position was filled with the sound of rockets whistling, and dense rockets whizzed up like machine gun bullets.

The dense rain of rockets dragged long tail flames in the air, forming an orange-red flame bridge, whizzing over the Jiuding Mountain position.

This also stunned the soldiers of the 22nd Division.

A barrage of rockets fell on the German 12mm heavy howitzer positions of the 150th Artillery Regiment, like a meteor shower.

“Boom boom boom…”

A barrage of rockets fell all at once.

In an instant, the entire artillery position was engulfed in a sea of ​​blazing flames.

A 132mm caliber rocket is as powerful as a 155mm large-caliber grenade, not to mention that so many rockets were dropped all at once within twenty seconds.

24辆喀秋莎火箭炮在20秒钟之内将自身携带的16枚火箭弹都打了出去，24辆加一起就是384枚。

You can imagine the doomsday scenario of 384 155mm heavy artillery pieces firing at one area at the same time.

The explosion resounded through the sky, like thunder, deafening.

The artillery positions were filled with smoke and dust, covering the sky and the sun.

The dust and smoke raised by the explosion were like a sandstorm, plunging the entire artillery position into darkness.

From this movement, we can tell what happened to this artillery position.

When the smoke gradually dissipated, one could see that the artillery position was in ruins.

Even though they had prepared complete artillery fortifications, they could not withstand the covering bombardment of Katyusha rocket launchers.

Half of the artillery pieces were directly destroyed, and the remaining artillery pieces were either covered by sand or overturned to the ground by the huge impact force.

The fortifications were littered with corpses, wailing wounded soldiers, and artillerymen who were at a loss as to what was happening.

This round of rocket fire was a devastating blow to the artillery position.

The two rocket artillery battalions directly destroyed two artillery positions.

Three K3E railway guns also aimed their muzzles at a German 5mm howitzer position.

When the 310mm caliber cannon roared, the sound of the cannon exploded in the ears like thunder.

These shells drew an arc in the air and landed accurately on the artillery position.

Immediately, there was an earth-shattering explosion.

This artillery position was treated no worse than those covered by Katyusha rocket launchers.

One shot left a large crater with a diameter of more than 12 meters and a depth of more than 5 meters.

Artillery fortifications with a depth of only 1.2 meters are completely useless in front of it.

Three shells directly silenced the artillery position.

Although only two 2mm German howitzers were destroyed, the Northern Xinjiang artillery on the position were shocked.

Only when you are in the artillery position can you feel the power of the 310mm caliber cannon.

Before the air force arrived, half of the artillery positions in northern Xinjiang had been silenced.

Luo Qing also underestimated the power of his own artillery.

This time it is the Army's turn to eat meat and the Air Force to drink soup.

Three minutes later, the Air Force fleet finally arrived and joined in the feast of dividing up the artillery of Northern Xinjiang.
