Chapter 480 The east wind rises! (Please subscribe, please vote)

The east wind has arrived!

Not the "Big Dongfeng", but the "Little Dongfeng" with a caliber of 107 mm, a 12-tube assembly, and a total combat weight of less than one ton!

In another timeline, this 107mm rocket launcher was the best partner for the AK assault rifle. Now that the Ming Army has an assault rifle, how could it not have the 107mm "Little Dongfeng"?

However, this kind of "Little Dongfeng" is the same as the assault rifle. Now it is a high-end, atmospheric and high-grade good thing, which is not available in the slipper guerrillas. The assault rifle is used as a squad machine gun in ordinary army units, and a squad

There are only two of them, which can take turns to fire, forming a continuous firepower that can be transferred as soon as the shuttle is fired. In the armored mixed brigade, this is the standard equipment for armored infantry. The 107mm "Little Dongfeng", because of its light weight

, the firepower is fierce, the range is relatively short, and it is very convenient to operate. It does not even require professional artillery. It can be used by trained armored infantry (but it is usually used by artillery), so it is regarded as a wheeled armored vehicle.

"Way-opening artifact". When marching and fighting, the "Little Dongfeng" and 107mm rocket ammunition trucks can be hung on the back of the 6-wheel armored vehicle, and they can charge into the battle. When encountering the enemy's strongly fortified position, before the armored vehicle launches an attack

, let’s do the “East Wind Cleansing” first, and then the armored assault!

Of course, in the previous landing battle, the "Little Dongfeng" did not play. Because the "Little Dongfeng" did not have "submarine launch" capabilities, it was impossible to ignite and launch in sea water. Therefore, the British army still does not know the power of the Dongfeng!

But in this armored assault on the Tibertop Mountain front, General Mu is ready to use all his strength!

So. The east wind will rise!

The sky was gradually getting brighter, and history reached the early morning of January 21, 1833.

Sudden attacks, as recommended in most military textbooks, are always launched in the early morning. This time is often when the enemy is the sleepiest and most sleepy, especially since this group of enemies had previously conducted long-distance marches and 6 consecutive attacks for 7 days.

The fierce attack at night had exhausted everyone to the extreme. Although Admiral Hugh Gough had urgently issued an order to prepare for war all night, his order had to be conveyed level by level. And just as the order was conveyed, but

Before it was conveyed to the soldiers at the grassroots level, the British and Indian officers and soldiers huddled in the trenches trembled under their bodies, and a flash of light passed over the Ming army position opposite.

The Ming army's artillery bombardment suddenly started!

The east wind of the Ming army finally blew!

The artillery shells and rockets passed over the positions held by the British, Indian and Japanese troops like hurricanes, with an astonishing momentum! Especially those 107mm "Little Dongfeng" rockets, although the caliber is not large, the weight is not even

20 kilograms, with a range of less than 8 kilometers. However, this kind of rocket drags an orange-red tail flame, spins and makes a whistling sound. Thousands of them gather together, cutting through the night sky, as if they are coming from the sky.

Like a sea of ​​​​fire, the scene of rushing towards the enemy's position is as scary as possible! Some thieves and soldiers who had done all kinds of bad things didn't understand the situation for a while, and thought they were going to hell, so they panicked at that time.

I cried. It turns out there really is hell! If I had known it, I wouldn’t have done so many bad things!

However, the British artillery group responded quickly and started a rumbling counterattack immediately. However, the artillery firepower of the Ming army on the front line of Taibultop Mountain was much stronger than that of the British army coming from afar.

What was pulled over were some 6-inch short-barreled grenades, 3.7-inch field guns and 2.7-inch infantry guns. They could only blast the Ming army's forward positions, but could not deal with the Ming army's artillery group at all.

However, the Ming army deployed 5 regiments of 155mm cannons, which can form a powerful suppressive artillery firepower. They have long been craning their necks waiting for the British artillery group to open fire! Several school-fired airships are specially used by the artillery.

They have been waiting in the dark night sky for a long time. The observers above can directly guide the artillery group on the ground to shoot and cover the British artillery through telegraphs.

The exposed artillery positions of the British army were suddenly filled with blood and flesh!

At the same time, a newly built airstrip near Liberation Beach has been illuminated by white light pillars. One after another, Ssangyong 2 bombers roared and taxied on the illuminated runway.

They passed by, then jumped up and flew into the sky. After a while, they formed several dark aircraft groups, overwhelmingly pressing towards the British lines.

The Ming army's artillery also began to fire intensively. 75mm infantry guns and mountain cannons, 120mm light howitzers, 155mm medium howitzers, and 80mm and 120mm mortars all joined in the death.

Cantata.

Artillery shells, rockets, and bombs rained down one after another. Not only did the British troops on the front line feel what a real hell of artillery fire was, but they also destroyed the few obstacles in front of the British army's position with the highest efficiency. The artillery shells

They also fell into the British positions in groups, and the smoke pillars and fireballs quickly formed into one. In the places where the artillery fire was most intensive, the ground was shaking. The dense fire rolled over the ground inch by inch, seeming to destroy everything.

Only the pitted ground was left, looking like the surface of the moon.

All the communication lines of the British army were shouting. The Ming army was obviously going to launch a major counterattack! All the battalion commanders and company commanders who could still use the phone to call the rear felt that the position they were responsible for was the key breakthrough direction of the Ming army!

In the real direction of the Ming army's main attack, the Ming army's artillery fire was so fierce that even the telephone lines were blown up. The communication soldiers did not dare to check the lines, so there was no way to report for a while.

Because the British army's forward position was very poorly built - they just started digging trenches and setting up defenses! So the Ming army's artillery fire soon began to extend back.

The extension of the artillery fire meant that the infantry attack was about to begin. The British soldiers who finally survived the artillery attack were driven by their officers to carry rifles, grenades, and machine guns along the traffic trenches toward the front.

Go to the position and prepare to meet the first wave of attack from the Ming army.

On both sides of Highway 1, the infantry who survived the overwhelming bombardment of artillery shells, mortars and Xiaodongfeng rockets had just entered the forward positions that had been bombed to pieces, and heard the roar of motors.

Voice!

Feeling a little strange, the British, Indian, and Japanese soldiers all climbed to the edge of the trench and poked half of their heads out to look out. Then they saw hundreds of armored tanks displayed on a long front.

They looked like something. These motor vehicles were spitting out white smoke, swaying forward on the front line that was pockmarked by artillery shells, and rumbled towards the British positions.

This is not the first time that the British troops here have seen armored chariots, but what they have seen before is just a few, and a small group of more than a dozen armored chariots. This is the first time that hundreds of armored chariots have been gathered together.

See you!

The British, Indian, and Japanese troops on the entire front were stunned. They just stared at these strange-looking armored vehicles with their mouths wide open, as if they rushed out of hell. There were so many of them, and there seemed to be many more.

The infantrymen were holding "machine guns" (assault rifles) to cover the attack, and they were simply unable to resist!

And the Highway 1 they guard is the main road to Sydney. If it is opened by the Ming army's armored vehicles, these chariots with 6 wheels and carrying various artillery and machine guns will probably be destroyed.

Break through all the way south along the road! Maybe we will break through to the outskirts of Sydney
