Chapter 317 Student Army, Attack!
At this critical moment, when the battle situation was like a taut bowstring that could break at any time, the atmosphere in the command post was so depressing that it was almost frozen.
General Shi stared at the battlefield situation, his forehead covered with beads of sweat, and his hands clenched unconsciously.
Suddenly, the quantum secure communicator on his waist emitted a rapid beeping sound, followed by a familiar, firm and powerful voice, like a strong light piercing through the darkness. It was Li Yunlong:
"General Shi, it's me, Li Yunlong! We've arrived at Zhaojiamao on the east bank of the Yellow River and are ready to engage in battle immediately!"
General Shi's originally furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and a glimmer of hope suddenly flashed in his eyes, like seeing the dawn in a desperate situation.
He drove the irrelevant people out of the command room, grabbed the communicator, and responded quickly and urgently:
"Li Yunlong, the situation is critical. The enemy has launched an all-out attack. Our defense is in jeopardy, and our soldiers are almost unable to hold on. It's up to you now!"
"Don't worry, General Shi!"
Li Yunlong's voice came from the communicator, revealing an unquestionable heroic confidence, as if any difficulties and obstacles were not worth mentioning in front of him.
"Old Li is well prepared and has already exchanged enough equipment, including 72 155mm vehicle-mounted howitzers and 24 370mm box-type rocket launchers. Wow, with that kind of power, we're sure to blow the enemy to pieces!
There are also 40 YZ-42 transport helicopters and 40 WZ-42 helicopters.
I'll have that kid Zhang Dabiao detach an infantry battalion and take a transport helicopter to the Gaobai Mountain area southeast of Shajiadian. There, we'll outflank the enemy and catch them off guard!"
After hearing this, General Shi's heart, which had been hanging in the air, instantly settled down and he felt at ease.
He immediately turned around and called the staff in, then shouted orders to the staff in the command post, quickly adjusting the tactical deployment:
"Pass on my order: All troops hold their positions and fight to the death! Our artillery and air support will arrive soon!"
Not long after, low roars were faintly heard in the originally silent and depressing sky, coming from far away and becoming clearer and clearer.
I saw a row of YZ-42 transport helicopters, like a group of giant sky fortresses, cutting through the gray sky and flying rapidly towards the smoke-filled battlefield.
Despite their huge size, they are now circling flexibly in the sky, their bodies shining with metallic luster under the sunlight.
The transport helicopter found the right time and hovered steadily over the Gaobai Mountain area southeast of Shajiatuan. The hatch opened, and the soldiers of the 3rd Infantry Column descended from the sky like gods, slid down the ropes quickly, and were accurately delivered to the designated location.
Some transport helicopters also stopped in the open space, opened their bellies, and several infantry fighting vehicles and self-propelled mortars crawled out from inside.
Soon after, the WZ-42 helicopter roared in.
They circled and flew over the battlefield like ferocious falcons, with the weapon systems under their fuselages flashing coldly.
The soldiers under Gu Shousan were overwhelmed by the chaotic situation. Suddenly, a huge roar that had never been heard before came from far away.
They subconsciously looked up and saw some strange-shaped "iron things" that they had never seen before appearing in the sky. The propellers were spinning rapidly, bringing up gusts of wind.
The enemy soldiers opened their eyes wide, their mouths opened into an "O" shape in astonishment. Some of them even forgot they were still holding weapons and were completely unaware of the shells exploding around them.
"Then...what is that?"
A young soldier asked in a trembling voice, his eyes filled with fear and confusion.
The officers were also panicked. They looked at these mysterious aircraft that seemed to have fallen from the sky in confusion, trying to figure out what was going on, but their minds were blank.
One officer was stunned for a long time before he raised his binoculars. However, the scene he saw shocked him even more - flames kept spewing out of the helicopter and rockets were whistling towards them.
"Hide! Hide!"
Finally someone reacted and shouted hysterically.
But it was too late. The rocket exploded accurately in the crowd. For a moment, screams were heard and the enemy position fell into a new round of chaos.
Some soldiers collapsed to the ground in terror, having completely lost the will to resist;
Some people fled in all directions desperately, making the already chaotic formation even more vulnerable.
As tongues of fire spurted out from the helicopters, rockets and machine gun bullets poured down like a rainstorm, launching a fierce and torrential attack on the enemy.
For a moment, the enemy's position was filled with flames, thick smoke, and screams.
At the same time, on the high ground near Zhaojiamao on the east bank of the Yellow River, Li Yunlong's artillery units were also rapidly deploying their troops against the clock.
144 155mm vehicle-mounted howitzers and 48 370mm box-type rocket launchers were neatly lined up in a row, with their muzzles raised high, pointing directly at the enemy positions.
The gunners were all focused and skilled in their movements, and they quickly completed the preparations such as loading ammunition.
Following Li Yunlong's order:
"fire!"
In an instant, thousands of cannons fired at the same time, and the earth-shaking roar seemed to shake the entire earth.
The shells were like angry meteors, dragging long flames, whistling through the sky and pouring down on the enemy positions like raindrops.
The flames of the explosion instantly merged into one, blasting the enemy's position into pieces, with broken walls and ruins flying everywhere. The enemy was dizzy and confused by the sudden and fierce artillery fire, and their formation was in chaos.
At this time, the C1 Army and C16 Army under Gu Shousan were sneaking in from the north according to the original plan, trying to cut off our army's retreat and deal a fatal blow to the Cheetah Field Army.
However, they never expected that Li Yunlong had already figured out their thoughts.
Inside the command center, a huge screen emitted a faint blue light, and the flickering dots of light on it were like dancing notes, performing the prelude to a brutal war.
Li Yunlong stared at the screen, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, and every movement of the enemy could not escape his eyes.
I saw a hint of sneer slowly appearing at the corner of his mouth, and that smile was full of fearlessness and confidence, as if he had already grasped the fate of the enemy in his hands.
"Twenty WZ-20 helicopters, go intercept the C42 and C1 armies and show them how powerful we are!"
Li Yunlong swung his arm violently, and his voice echoed in the command center like a loud bell, revealing unquestionable majesty.
After a brief pause, he decisively ordered:
"Dispatch some more infantry and armored units to the north and give them a good fight!"
The order was quickly passed down, and the Z-42 helicopters that received the order responded quickly.
They were like a group of hawks that had smelled their prey. They changed their course in an instant, their fuselages flashing with a cold metallic gleam as they roared towards the north like lightning.
The propellers spun rapidly, cutting through the sky with a deafening sound, as if tearing the sky apart.
After arriving at the target area, the helicopters shuttled through the air like ghosts.
They launched a frenzied strafing and bombing attack on the C1 and C16 armies. The machine guns under the fuselage spewed out flames and dense bullets poured down like raindrops.
At the same time, rockets whizzed out from the helicopter's launcher, dragging long tails of flames and flying accurately towards the enemy troops.
Rockets exploded among the enemy group, huge explosions sounded one after another, and flames shot into the sky.
The enemy was blown to pieces, screaming in agony, and the originally neat team instantly became chaotic.
When the battle just started, the students in charge of operating the helicopter were still a little awkward and their movements were a little flustered.
But after only half an hour, they seemed to be ignited by the atmosphere of war, gradually found the feeling, and became more proficient in the operation.
They controlled the helicopters to hover and dive flexibly in the air, and each attack was more precise and powerful.
In addition to armed helicopters, "unmanned aerial mortars" are naturally indispensable on the battlefield.
After continuous upgrades, these unmanned aerial mortars now have certain guidance capabilities, like invisible killers.
They fly silently in the air and can attack enemies hidden in every corner from various tricky angles.
The enemy had no way of detecting these threats "falling from the sky" and was often blown to pieces without any preparation, which made the enemy miserable and greatly affected their morale.
At the same time, infantry and armored forces on the ground also rushed to the northern battlefield at lightning speed.
The tanks led the way, their tracks rolling and raising a cloud of dust.
The armored vehicle followed closely behind, its sturdy shell shining with a cold luster in the sunlight.
The infantrymen were agile and quickly jumped off the armored vehicles, rushing towards the enemy like tigers descending from the mountains.
For a moment, the roar of tanks, the sound of gunfire, and the shouts of soldiers intertwined together and resounded throughout the entire northern battlefield.
The battlefield was filled with smoke and flames, as if it was a hell on earth.
Under the dual attack from the air and the ground, the enemy's defenses began to crumble. They were defeated step by step, their formation in chaos, and the soldiers had long lost their previous momentum and fled in panic.
Some fled desperately, while others hid behind shelters and trembled, completely losing the courage to resist.
This fierce battle is developing in a direction favorable to us.
General Shi keenly grasped this opportunity and made a decisive move, shouting into the communicator:
"Attention, all columns! Take this opportunity to launch a full-scale counterattack!"
The 1st Armored Column was like a tiger out of its cage, breaking through the enemy's defense line from the front with overwhelming force.
One after another, the 41A tanks roared forward, their tracks crushing all obstacles, their main guns roaring continuously, destroying the enemy fortifications and defensive forces in front one by one.
The Second Infantry Column and the Third Infantry Column quickly encircled the enemy from both wings. The soldiers, holding their weapons and shouting earth-shaking slogans, rushed towards the enemy like a surging tide.
In the Yujiashan area north of Shajiatuan, the shouts and cries of killing were deafening.
Our soldiers, filled with passion and determination to die, engaged in a thrilling close combat with the enemy.
With anger burning in their eyes, they pushed back the enemy troops one by one.
In the Gaojiagou area, our army's artillery units continued to exert their powerful firepower advantage and launched uninterrupted and fierce artillery bombardments on the enemy.
Each artillery shell landed accurately on the enemy's position, providing powerful fire support for the charging infantry units.
The flames from the exploding shells illuminated the entire Gaojiagou area as bright as day, and thick smoke filled the air, choking the enemy troops.
In the Miaoliang area east of Shajiatuan, a battalion of the 3rd Infantry Column, led by Zhang Dabiao, successfully formed a flank encirclement of the enemy like a sharp dagger.
They coordinated with the first armored column and the second infantry column attacking from the front to surround the enemy corps.
Under the fierce artillery fire and the brave charge of the infantry, the enemy army was completely trapped in a desperate situation, their morale collapsed, they threw away their weapons and armor, and were completely defeated. In the end, they had to surrender.
After a long and fierce battle, the smoke gradually dissipated on the battlefield, but the pungent smell of gunpowder still filled the air.
The battlefield was littered with corpses, the place was in ruins, and there were traces of war everywhere.
The soldiers of our army are like unshakable monuments, standing proudly on this land.
They defended the motherland's territory and dignity with their blood and lives, and composed a magnificent heroic hymn.
According to detailed statistics, our army wiped out more than 40,000 enemy troops in this battle and seized a large number of weapons, equipment and supplies.
Li Yunlong and the student soldiers he led performed extremely well in this battle with their excellent tactical execution and fearless fighting spirit, winning high praise and admiration from the entire army.
