Chapter 413 Artillery Confrontation
"Retreat! Retreat!"
"Run along the river! Run north along the Nu River!"
"Don't be obsessed with fighting! The plane is leaving! Let's evacuate first!"
Opposite the Huli position, the Kachin Army, which had been defeated, shouted one after another. Everyone was running away in a hurry. Even the ferries and speedboats that had reached the center of the river were turning around.
Everyone was stunned by the scene of the plane falling from the sky just now. The fighter plane dragging the flames down completely crushed the Kachin army's plan to quickly cross the river. When it finally crashed less than 2 meters away from the door, Within kilometers of fields, the Kachin offensive came to a complete standstill.
This is a very counter-intuitive thing.
Theoretically speaking, Kachin has at least five propeller fighter jets in its hands. Even if it loses this one, it will still have an absolute advantage in subsequent air fire support.
Even if these planes are still in Kachin, even if they haven’t refueled yet, or even if they haven’t taxied out of the hangar?
How long does it take to fly from there to Qingshui River? Half an hour is enough, right?
As long as we can survive half an hour, Huli still belongs to the Kachin, and the Qingshui River must also belong to the Kachin! ——
However, this is a judgment that can only be made from an omniscient perspective.
In fact, no matter how powerful CIASAD is, they cannot know how many individual air defense missiles the Dongfeng Corps has in hand.
In the view of the commander of the Kachin Army, the Dongfeng Corps had just arrived on the battlefield and had joined the battle for less than 20 minutes, but it had already fired two anti-tank missiles and four anti-aircraft missiles against the ground!
With this intensity and density of firepower, as a commander, do you dare to say that they have nothing else?
Moreover, they not only had portable missiles, they even fired more than 20 rockets on the positions they had just organized.
Although these rockets rarely hit their targets, such a style of play makes people doubt that they are fighting a "war of wealth."
It's not possible to charge hard. It's okay to lose two assault boats. If we continue to charge and even another aircraft and two M2s are handed over here, then the subsequent battle will not be said to be much more difficult, at least in The "pressure" given to superiors is a huge problem!
Therefore, the Kachin commander chose the most conservative and safest option.
Withdraw first, and then re-conduct a reconnaissance of the enemy's firepower and equipment, then re-formulate strategies and re-organize the attack!
I have to say that this played into Chen Chen's intentions.
What he wants is this effect. What he wants is to use the Dongfeng Corps' deterrent power in the first battle to scare off the opponent, thereby gaining valuable breathing time for the Allied Forces and the Allied Forces!
Looking at the Kachin infantry in the distance who had fled to the north and the M2 armored vehicle disappearing across the river, Chen Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, if the other party is harder and carries on, he will have to consider running away.
Fortunately, the oppressive force of modern guided weapons on the battlefield is still as strong as ever, and they were indeed frightened.
But Chen Chen had no time to rejoice. After confirming that the enemy was really retreating, he immediately ordered:
"Groups 1 and 2 returned quickly and led everyone to evacuate towards the jungle and the opposite slope!"
"Pursuit is absolutely not allowed. Enemy artillery fire will be coming soon!"
"The reconnaissance team continued to maintain surveillance, maneuvered to the commanding heights, and used sound and light methods to try to find the location of the opponent's artillery positions."
"clear!"
Replies from various groups came over the radio. Chen Chen did not hesitate at all. After sorting out the equipment, he immediately began to move north.
The Huli position must be abandoned, and the focus of defense will then shift, or "retreat", to the vicinity of Gunong.
Only by meeting the real main force of the Allied Forces there can it be possible to form a joint force in the opponent's next defensive battle across the river and block the enemy's real large-scale attack!
if not?
Do you really expect two Dows to kill two M2s and then push them back all the way? There is an artillery battalion behind the opponent!
In the past, Huli was not hit by artillery fire because the two sides were fighting too close. He had already taken a huge advantage. Once the other party started to evacuate, there was no doubt that artillery fire was coming soon.
Just as Chen Chen was walking forward quickly following Lin He's footsteps, the sound of intensive artillery fire came as expected.
The large-caliber artillery shells cut off almost an arm-thick tree trunk in the jungle south of Huli, and the splashing soil and sawdust raised yellow clouds one after another.
"boom--"
The loud noise of the explosion continued. Chen Chen tried to distinguish the muffled sound of the artillery shell from the explosion, but unfortunately, he heard nothing.
In other words, the opponent's artillery position is at least 5 kilometers away from Huli. This is a serious non-direct shooting.
But how did they do it? !
Without any time to think, Chen Chen quickly evacuated to a safe area, and then after occupying the commanding heights, he looked in the direction of the Huli position again.
And soon, he discovered the problem from the smoke and dust caused by the explosion.
The opponent's impact points are a bit too dense.
——
Of course, to a certain extent, this is indeed the style of old America.
After all, they are a team that claims to use artillery shells to flatten a mountain, and they want Van Fleet's ammunition to hit anything.
But the question is, with the resources available to the Kachin Army, can they really afford such intensive firepower output?
Instead of carpet bombing like now, it is better to move the targets of each gun farther and strike at different key points.
But why didn't they do this?
Because they can't do it!
Chen Chen reacted instantly, and then he ordered into the radio:
"Reconnaissance team, use thermal imaging telescopes to search the commanding heights on the other side of the river!"
"They have artillery reconnaissance!"
"Their fighting style is the same as ours. They are only professional in artillery reconnaissance! The other artillerymen have only undergone the simplest training, and they will only adjust the elements according to the given parameters!"
"Find their artillery reconnaissance team, they won't be too far away from us!"
"clear!"
After determining the enemy's attack method, everything becomes simple.
In fact, there are many obstacles between Huli, Gunong, and Hoban. According to the intelligence provided by Peng Deren before, his position in Hoban was also hit by precise artillery fire.
That means that the opponent either has multiple artillery reconnaissance teams, or the artillery reconnaissance team is monitoring all three positions from a location!
And this location.
Just across the river, on the hillside, on the only fire watchtower in the jungle!
"Target found!"
"There is no way to strike. The distance is at least 6 kilometers. I can only see a vague red signal."
"It's definitely there, it's a watchtower!"
News from the reconnaissance team came through Chen Chen's earphones, and his eyes changed slightly.
6 kilometers.
It is impossible to reach them with any personal equipment.
However, Peng Deren also has an M56.
The maximum range is 10 kilometers, which is not enough to hit that position, but it’s not without a chance!
However, we only have one chance.
If you don't want to let the opponent go after alerting the enemy, then you can only use one shot to enter the soul!
