Chapter 172 Total Annihilation
Chapter 172 Total Annihilation
Scouts ahead kept sending messages, "Report! The enemy's armored reinforcements have entered the attack section, please give instructions!"
When the last enemy vehicle entered the attack section, Lu Tianhao decisively issued an attack order.
In an instant, 240 150mm howitzers roared in unison, shaking people like thunder.
240 shells streaked across the sky like meteors and landed accurately on a road section seven or eight kilometers long.
In an instant, flames shot up into the sky and smoke billowed.
The huge explosion was deafening, as if it was going to tear the whole world apart.
The shock waves and heat waves generated by the exploding shells swept around, destroying anything that blocked their way.
The enemy's armored forces fell into chaos, their vehicles were overturned and blown up, and their soldiers fled in panic.
However, they had nowhere to escape, and the shells pursued them relentlessly, making them feel the approach of death.
A grim smile appeared on Lu Tianhao's face. He knew that this round of shelling would bring a heavy blow to the enemy.
He continued to command the artillery units, adjusting the shooting angles and firepower intensity to ensure that every artillery shell could exert maximum lethality.
On this battlefield, there was continuous artillery fire and smoke, and Lu Tianhao's army was suppressing the enemy with its powerful firepower advantage.
This battle was destined to be a bloody massacre, and Lu Tianhao was determined not to let any enemy escape.
240 150mm howitzers roared at the same time, the sound was deafening, like a volcanic eruption.
After the first round of salvos, the second and third rounds followed.
Lu Tianhao and his team stood on a high ground, watching the bombing through binoculars.
At this moment, the entire road had turned into a sea of fire, with flames shooting into the sky, smoke everywhere, and visibility was extremely low.
Many of the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles were directly hit by artillery shells and blown to pieces on the spot.
More tanks and armored vehicles, although not directly hit by artillery shells, also suffered serious damage.
Many tanks and armored vehicles had their tracks blown off and were unable to move.
Many tanks and armored vehicles were also hit by the bombs and were blown to pieces, and some were even overturned to the ground and could not move.
The vehicles that transport soldiers do not have the ability to be armored.
They are just ordinary means of transportation and cannot withstand powerful firepower attacks.
When hit directly by a bomb, these fragile troop carriers instantly became vulnerable.
The transport vehicle and the soldiers inside were blown to pieces, and no one survived.
They didn't even have time to react before they were ruthlessly swallowed up in the explosion.
However, not all troop carriers received direct hits.
Nevertheless, the huge blast energy and shock wave were still enough to overturn many vehicles to the ground.
These unfortunate soldiers were trapped in their vehicles, unable to escape, and were eventually buried under the rubble.
Worse still, the debris from the bomb explosion flew everywhere like raindrops, mercilessly killing the surrounding soldiers.
These sharp fragments penetrate the human body at an alarming speed, causing a large number of casualties.
After three rounds of artillery bombardment, the originally huge army is now reduced to a handful.
Only a dozen surviving tanks and armored vehicles were still struggling to escape the bombed area.
But what will be their fate? Can they survive this cruel war?
The troops that Lu Tianhao brought this time were very limited. There were 240 howitzers, and he only equipped each howitzer with the minimum number of operators.
Even so, it took more than 700 people.
Including the reconnaissance troops led by Dunzi and Gousheng, the remaining troops are still less than 1000 people.
These soldiers had already been deployed by Lu Tianhao in advance on both sides of the road where they might be attacked, ready for battle.
After three rounds of fierce artillery bombardment, the more than 700 artillery unit members quickly picked up their weapons and rushed towards the road that had just been bombed like a gust of wind.
The soldiers of the National Salvation Army had already ambushed on both sides of the road, but they kept a safe distance of at least 200 meters from the road.
This is not aimless, because the lethality of 150mm howitzer shells is as high as one or two hundred meters.
Lu Tianhao doesn't want his soldiers to suffer unnecessary accidental injuries.
As the bombardment ended, soldiers emerged from their hiding places and charged toward the survivors on the road.
At this time, the enemy troops who were still alive were frightened and panicked.
The remaining dozen or so tanks and armored vehicles became their target.
These big guys had already been targeted by the National Salvation Army soldiers armed with anti-tank rocket launchers.
These brave warriors focused their attention on the steel behemoths, waiting for the best opportunity to come.
Once the opportunity comes, they will pull the trigger without hesitation, letting the rocket whiz out and hit the enemy's armored targets.
And every hit means weakening the enemy's strength, and also means that the dawn of victory is getting closer.
The dozen or so surviving tanks and armored vehicles had just entered the battlefield, and before they could play a role, they were hit by whistling anti-tank rockets and turned into piles of scrap metal.
Those enemy soldiers who had managed to escape were unable to cause any trouble under the powerful firepower of the Guards Regiment.
After more than a dozen people were shot dead, the others wisely laid down their weapons, raised their hands and chose to surrender.
After a careful count, it was found that there were only more than 300 enemy soldiers who surrendered.
This means that the two armored units were almost wiped out, with only a few hundred people left.
These people are all the survivors of this fierce battle.
Lu Tianhao gave an order, "Everyone, hurry up! Clean up the battlefield quickly and collect all the useful supplies."
After receiving the order, the soldiers immediately took action and began to clean up the battlefield busily.
They searched every corner carefully, leaving out nothing of value.
As for the enemy's bodies, they chose to dig many large pits in open areas on the roadside and bury them properly.
And all the collected materials were stored by Lu Tianhao into the system space one by one.
This mysterious space can accommodate a large number of items, providing them with a convenient storage method.
As for the road that was bombed into potholes and ruggedness, Lu Tianhao directed the soldiers to repair it.
And let vehicles run over it to compact the loose soil.
At the same time, the craters on both sides of the road were leveled one by one, restoring their original appearance.
There is a reason why Lu Tianhao asked the soldiers to complete these tasks with so much effort.
The two armored units that destroyed the enemy were only the vanguard of the enemy's reinforcements, and the main force was still behind.
Lu Tianhao hopes that these measures can confuse the enemy, make them relax their vigilance, and continue on this path.
Lu Tianhao has made a decision and is ready to continue here and ambush the enemy's subsequent reinforcements.
