Chapter 1247: 1248First intimate contact
The Tang Army's aircraft was really too fast, and its attack method was no longer bomb dropping in the traditional sense, but strafing with rockets.
So the Qin Army's air defense forces were not adapted to such an attack at all. They could only watch the J-6 roar away, leaving only a mess on the ground.
In fact, the losses of the Qin army were not large, this is true. As a temporary guest ground attack fighter, the J-6 is really unqualified.
Although it is equipped with a rocket launcher nest aimed at the ground, its attack accuracy can only rely on faith. Its air combat sight is not designed for ground attack at all, and the dispersion of rockets has no so-called accuracy at all.
A lightning-fast attack looked scary, but in fact when the Jianliu went away without looking back, the Qin army on the ground discovered that they had lost almost nothing.
“Is anyone injured?” A Qin company commander ran quickly and passed by his soldiers, but no one answered his question.
Everyone was very nervous because this was the first time they faced an enemy attack, but everyone was at a loss because this attack was somewhat sloppy.
"Someone was killed in the company next door. Four unlucky ones were killed by a rocket. It seems there are none on our side." The deputy company commander ran over from the other direction and said nervously in a lowered voice.
“I’m scared to death... Is the bomb spread so large? It’s not as good as a Stuka.” The company commander looked at the large crater made by the rocket bomb in the distant field, and complained with some disdain.
"Let the troops pay attention to air defense! Build some hidden awnings! Set up more camouflage..." Although no losses were suffered, the sudden attack by the Tang Army did make people nervous. The Qin Army's company commander issued an order to pay attention to air defense, and then squinted his eyes. He looked into the distance again.
The direction he was looking at was dozens of kilometers away from the border of the Tang Empire. Logically speaking, the Tang army's attack should have come long ago.
If the Tang army moved faster, they wouldn't even have time to build this line of defense. But the Tang army seemed to have no intention of attacking, so they allowed the Qin army to stay under their noses for three days.
The company commander of Qin State couldn't understand the slow reaction on his side, nor the slow reaction on the Tang Army's side. He didn't know what was going on, but he knew that it was definitely not a good thing.
At this time, he remembered the rations he had carried with him for three days. His troops were almost out of food.
Damn it...if those nasty logistics troops don't come again, his troops will starve. After cursing in his mind, he shouted irritably: "Hurry up and dig! It will be too late for you to dig again when the Tang army comes over!"
The soldiers of the Qin army, who had only eaten one meal a day, began to wield their engineering shovels and dig the crooked trench deeper.
The soldiers responsible for processing the wood obtained wood from the forest far away, fixed the crooked wood with ropes, and then put it on the trench to make a simple cover.
Then they will cover the "roof" with tarpaulin or ordinary cloth, and then fill it with thick soil to strengthen it.
All the soldiers were busy, and the officers gathered together uneasily and kept discussing what happened. The signal troops they sent to contact the division headquarters did not bring back any decent orders, but everyone heard that the 3rd Armored Division next door seemed to have suffered heavy losses.
There is no good news for the 25th Infantry Division to the north. The regiment next to them is also digging trenches. No one knows what happened. Everything is so absurd and confusing.
"What the **** are those division commanders and army commanders doing? Can't they give us a decent order?" When talking about this matter, the regiment commander was so angry that he almost dropped his water glass on the ground. But he thought that he only had such a cup, so he stopped his hand halfway, his actions seemed a bit funny.
"Didn't our division commander say he was killed in action? The new division commander was promoted temporarily and has little experience. He is re-acquainting himself with the work..." The staff officer of the regiment on the side went to the division headquarters to understand the situation in person before, so he knows best what is happening now. What happened.
The road to the rear was blocked, and the Tang army's attack was much sharper than they imagined, or what they experienced personally.
The division headquarters was destroyed, and the precious high-power radio stations were blown up. The Qin army's command was now completely paralyzed.
The logistics troops were crowded on the roads and had no way to move, and no one could get effective orders. Everyone can only wait and wait for someone to tell them what they should do next.
There is no other way. Blind and unauthorized actions before receiving orders will only make the situation more chaotic. So everyone can only wait obediently, like a group of fools.
Perhaps behind them was a convoy of trucks from the logistics supply force, with the trucks piled high with food. But this army did not dare to distribute these grains because they did not have the power.
If they distribute the supplies they have to neighboring troops without authorization, then when the above-mentioned officials allocate the food or ammunition, they will not be able to explain where the food and supplies have gone...
This kind of thing itself is unclear to explain, and the situation is chaotic, and some supplies and food, vehicles and equipment have been destroyed. Similar reorganization will take more time than imagined.
In the village of Qili Village, while the officers of the regiment were cursing the division commanders and army commanders who were indifferent, the hand-cranked air-raid siren deployed at the entrance of the village suddenly rang with heart-rending sounds.
Everyone rushed out of the house and saw the soldier in charge of the alert shaking the rocker desperately, causing the alarm gas in his hand to make a shrill sound.
Everyone raised their heads and saw a group of bombers covering the sky in the distance. Soon the oppressive engine noise was mixed with the air defense sirens.
It was only then that everyone realized that they seemed to be challenging the most powerful country in the world!
The H-6 formation in the distance almost blocked out the sky and the sun. The formation of hundreds of aircraft together definitely created an overwhelming momentum. Everyone looked up at the sky, watching the terrifying war machines in the sky slowly flying over their heads.
"Where are our fighter jets..." the regiment leader asked subconsciously as he squinted his eyes and watched these behemoths painted in gray and white densely pass over the place where they were.
