Chapter 334: Buried Alive (Second update, please subscribe)

storm!

Sometimes it's more violent than people imagine.

Originally, it was a quiet early morning, not much different from usual, but in a flash, it was as if an earthquake occurred, like a mountain collapse and the ground collapsed, and the silence between heaven and earth was broken.

Perhaps, people are accustomed to the destruction caused by natural forces, but the destruction brought by war is more shocking, more magnificent, and of course more cruel.

Brutal yet exciting.

“Whoosh!…”

The shells flying through the air at high speed squeezed the surrounding air, making a sound that was almost like tearing the sky and the earth apart, and it was shocking.

"sudden……"

The sharp whistle and the dull roar blend together like a concerto, and together with the sound of cannons, it shows its charm to the world with the sky as the stage.

The most shocking thing among them was the dozens of huge fireballs that looked like trailing fireworks. They were like huge fireballs passing through the sky, and at the same time, they made shrill screams like witches.

That was the Type 64 mortar of the South China Army. After it was first used in actual combat in Chillán, Chile, it only took one round of salvos to tear the Chilean army's defense line to pieces.

Because of its great power, the arsenal spent several years developing the more powerful Type 68 mortar at the request of the military. It is basically an enlarged version of the Type 64 mortar. Its shell is 2.5 meters long, with a diameter of 500 mm and weighs 800 kilograms, which is nearly three times heavier than the Type 64. The heavy shell also gives it unprecedented power, and the explosion diameter can reach an astonishing 400 meters.

This time, in order to destroy the Argentine army's field fortifications, under the order of Zhu Xianhai, in addition to the 36 Type 64 mortars that had been in service before, 12 Type 68 mortars were also deployed, and even six more were urgently produced before the war.

The scene of as many as 54 heavy mortars firing was earth-shaking.

After these 300 kg or 800 kg shells were fired, the sounds they made were like the screams of monsters, forming a dense and loud noise in the air, just like countless witches flying in the air on brooms, they were mixed in the shells and flew towards the fortress of the Argentine army.

The first to fall were the high-velocity field artillery shells, which landed on the frontier positions of the Afghan army's fortresses. Although they set off a stormy wind and covered the Afghan army's positions with black ground-explosive smoke and flames, it did not seem to be anything surprising. Even the 150mm heavy mortar shells, which were called "destructive weapons", did not cause any earth-shattering effects when they landed on the battlefield.

What was truly astonishing was the group of "witches". When those giant artillery shells that were clearly visible in the night sky screamed and fell into the Afghan army's front-line positions like witches' brooms, an explosion like the collapse of the sky and the earth suddenly broke out.

Even though he was in a bunker one kilometer away, Zhu Xianhai could clearly feel the earth-shattering impact - he saw dozens of huge clouds of smoke suddenly rising above the Afghan fortress.

A dozen of them were so huge that they looked a bit like the legendary mushroom cloud. The huge columns of smoke and flames rushed up to the sky for hundreds of meters before they stopped expanding. I don't know if it was an illusion, but even though he was in the bunker, Zhu Xianhai could feel a wave of air coming from the Afghan army's position.

"Oh, my goodness ..."

Li Changchuan was dumbfounded with his mouth wide open in surprise. For a moment, he felt his legs trembling slightly. As an army officer, how could he not be aware of the power of this shot.

This is not a one shot!

But dozens of cannons!

If we were hit by such a shell during a war, there would be no need to fight the war, and I guess almost everyone would be killed!

What does the so-called "Fort Humaita of Argentina" look like now?

It must be the collapse of the walls and trenches.

It was not just the breastworks and trenches that collapsed. According to the arsenal's tests, when the Type 68 mortar exploded, all targets within a radius of 400 meters would be destroyed. Even if the enemy troops within the killing radius were not killed by the steel fragments, the strong shock wave could injure their internal organs and make them lose their combat effectiveness.

hell!

It's like hell!

After this round of shelling, the nearly one-kilometer-wide front-line defense line on the west side of Trentlauken has turned into a dead zone.

It was a complete hellish sight.

The intact trenches suddenly collapsed, and hundreds of Argentine officers and soldiers were buried alive without even figuring out what was going on.

What was even more shocking were the huge bomb craters near the trenches, with corpses scattered around them.

In the trenches, there were people who were frightened everywhere, standing there at a loss, either grinning foolishly or in a daze.

Even some seemingly normal people were now filled with fear, their eyes looked a little desperate. Even the "death nails" falling from the sky did not scare them.

But what about now?

After the earth-shattering explosion, the survivors were really scared, and many of them had their uniforms torn, which was the effect of the shock wave.

"What happened..."

Standing in the collapsed trench in a daze, with his feet on the soft soil, Mick looked around in a daze. The soldiers around him could no longer be called soldiers. They were just a group of frightened people.

"Oh my God! What on earth is going on? Did they blow up our arsenal?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a new round of shelling began!

The shells whizzed in. Except for a few people who reacted, they screamed "fire" and then lay down in the trenches not daring to move. There were still many people who had not recovered from the shock of the previous round of shelling. Perhaps, in their opinion, what was the point of dodging such shells?

Even if he was not killed in the explosion, he would just be buried alive, which would be a more painful death!

A series of explosions sounded, causing everyone to fall to the ground. Many people who were standing there in a daze were directly sent flying. Their bodies were torn apart in the air by the shock wave and scattered on the ground.

Mick, who was hiding in the trench, had his ears buzzing from the shock. He even felt like he couldn't breathe. Just as he was suffocating, a shock wave came at him. The shells exploded at close range, and the dust raised almost buried him alive. But even so, he was still lucky. In the dust, he saw that the soldier next to him was blown into two pieces. The upper half of the body was blown to an unknown place, leaving only the other half half buried in the soil, where blood was flowing...

However, his luck did not last long. Just as he was secretly rejoicing, a dull whistling sound came from the air.

That whistling sound was a bit like a dull whistle. It came down from the sky, whistling, and before people could react, there was a loud bang.

With a sudden earthquake, dozens of tons of soil were thrown into the air. The trench collapsed, burying the people inside alive.

After being buried in the soil, Mick struggled desperately, but his body could not move. He wanted to breathe but could not breathe air. He could only let his life slip away bit by bit in despair...
