Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning

4: in the morning.

The runways and hangars at the island's airport are brightly lit. Ground crews are inspecting, refueling, and loading ammunition on the fighter planes and bombers. The intense work is proceeding in an orderly manner.

In the airport restaurant, the pilots were sitting at the dining table in their flight suits, eating breakfast and chatting happily. Although they were about to carry out a bombing mission, the pilots did not show any nervousness in their hearts or on their faces. Instead, they felt excited.

At this time, south of the boundary river, in the trenches on various defense lines, officers and soldiers were eating breakfast.

Today's breakfast is particularly rich. Each person has a bowl of rice, a bowl of pork bone soup, some pickles, vegetables, and stir-fried meat with lettuce. It is the first meal before the fight, so you must eat well and be full.

After breakfast, the soldiers washed their own lunch boxes and gathered in groups of three or five to smoke and chat.

Just as it was 5 o'clock, a loud whistle sounded and the soldiers gathered in the trenches. The officers came to their own teams to form the troops, count the number of people, let the soldiers check their weapons and equipment, and then made pre-war mobilization.

Compared to the relaxed state of the pilots, these army soldiers were obviously much more nervous.

Just as the soldiers were gathering and assembling, the artillery of each unit began fighting, and shells were stuffed into the gun barrels one by one.

The artillery commander looked at his watch, picked up the phone and gave the order to fire.

"fire!"

"fire!"

"Boom boom boom..."

One cannon after another fired shells, which flew through the air, leaving bright tails, flew across the boundary river and landed on the Japanese fortifications on the opposite side.

Continuous explosions rang out on the Japanese defensive positions, bunkers were destroyed one after another, and trenches were filled in by the explosions.

Many Japanese soldiers were buried in trenches and tunnels by the mud produced by the explosion while they were sleeping. Some were blown to pieces in their sleep, some had their arms and legs blown off, some had their waists severed by a single piece, and some were shocked to death by the shock wave of the explosion.

"Artillery fire, artillery fire, hide quickly!" The Japanese soldiers who were awakened by the explosion shouted and ran towards the anti-artillery holes one by one.

The anti-artillery holes were not dug far away, but they were so far away for the Japanese soldiers. As they ran to the anti-artillery holes to hide, shells kept falling inside and outside the trenches, and countless Japanese soldiers were blown away or turned into pieces.

The Japanese soldiers finally ran to the entrance of the anti-artillery cave, but found that the cave had already been blown down.

Some Japanese soldiers hid in the anti-artillery cave, but because the anti-artillery fortification was not built strong enough, it collapsed under a shell, and the several Japanese soldiers hiding inside were all buried alive.

In the battles of the previous few years, the Japanese always attacked and rarely defended, so they were very resistant to building defensive artillery holes because they would not be used even if they were built, and it would be a waste of effort and materials.

Even though they had to build the anti-artillery holes due to strict orders from their superiors, most Japanese soldiers were perfunctory in constructing them, using very little and careless materials.

They never imagined that it was their carelessness and negligence that led to such heavy casualties.

In battlefields such as positional warfare and trench warfare, the cause of the greatest casualties was never firearms, but artillery fire.

The bombardment lasted for 10 minutes. During this period, the Japanese soldiers could only hide in trenches and anti-artillery holes, holding their heads tightly and daring not to move, unable to do anything.

Five minutes before the end of the shelling, the tank regiment was dispatched, and a row of dozens of tanks drove across the bridge and Xiajie River towards the Japanese positions opposite.

"Beep, beep, beep--" a quick whistle sounded.

Groups of armed soldiers from the merchant corps followed the tanks with guns in hand. When they reached the riverbank, they dragged out the rafts and small boats hidden in the bushes and grass, quickly rushed to the riverside and put them on the water. Then they squatted or lay down, placed their guns on the boats, and followed the tanks to the other side.

"Order the artillery regiment to extend the artillery fire to the Japanese second line of defense." Yang Xiong, the commander of the first regiment at the front-line command, gave the order to extend the artillery fire after observing through a telescope.

The coordination between infantry, artillery and infantry and tanks was very good. Just as the artillery fire extended to the Japanese's deep defense line, the tanks and soldiers of the Merchant Corps happened to rush onto the river beach.

With tanks leading the way, the soldiers rushed into the trenches before the Japanese had time to deploy their defenses.

The real close combat began. The armed soldiers of the Merchant Corps, armed with AKs, had the advantage in the trench warfare. When the two sides were only a few meters apart, the armed soldiers of the Merchant Corps pulled the trigger and fired a few bullets, and three or five Japanese soldiers on the opposite side fell down.

At the bend of the trench, the armed soldiers of the Merchant Corps stood at the corner with their backs against the earth wall. They just extended the muzzle of their guns, pulled the trigger and fired a burst of shots, and several Japanese soldiers in the trench on the other side were knocked down.

The tactic of "boom-da da da" using grenades in conjunction with AK is simply a dimensionality reduction attack in trench warfare.

Other firearms have a high chance of jamming when firing, but the AK has an extremely low failure rate. Soldiers are increasingly fond of this firearm with its simple structure, easy maintenance, light weight and powerful firepower.

"Sir Captain, the Chinese... are coming. The imperial warriors can't hold on any longer. Their firepower is too strong. Sir Squadron Leader sent me to ask you for tactical guidance..." A squadron signalman rushed into the battalion headquarters breathlessly to report to the Japanese captain.

"Baga, tell Kimura that I will send a team of reinforcements to support him. Tell him to hold on. If we lose the position, I will make him commit suicide by disembowelment!" The Japanese captain grabbed the signalman's collar and said angrily.

"Hayi!"

There was more than one position that was attacked, and more than one section of the position could not hold out. One after another, the Japanese soldiers in various defensive positions sent people to the brigade headquarters to request reinforcements.

But the Japanese captain only sent two groups of reinforcements and had no extra soldiers to send out.

The defense lines were in danger everywhere, and the Japanese captain had to call the regiment headquarters to report the urgent situation to the regiment commander and request reinforcements.

All the defense lines were in crisis, and the regiment commander had no way to deal with it. He didn't even have time to call the 104th Division Headquarters for help before the first line of defense was breached. Only a hundred or so Japanese soldiers were left, fleeing in a panic in the second direction.

But the second line of defense was now under heavy artillery fire. When the artillery fire extended to the third line of defense, the tanks armed by the Merchant Corps rushed over again. The Japanese soldiers on the second line of defense were still dizzy and were beaten to pieces by the tanks and the Merchant Corps soldiers behind them before they could deploy their defenses.

The three Japanese defense lines were attacked at a depth of more than two kilometers, but they collapsed completely within 20 minutes.

"Send a message to the 1st and 2nd Battalions, have them conduct horizontal penetration, division and encirclement as planned, and eliminate the remaining Japanese soldiers on the three defense lines. The 3rd Battalion will continue to advance under the cover of the tank regiment, and occupy the high ground such as Fenghuang Mountain, Pingshan, Taishan, Yinshan, and Wutong Mountain as quickly as possible, and then build defensive fortifications as quickly as possible!" In the front-line command post, Yang Xiong quickly issued the second order.

The order was quickly conveyed to each camp.
