The mountains and forests were completely dark at night, without a single ray of light.
At this moment, Newin stood on a mountain peak and lowered the infrared binoculars on his chest.
"Has the 112mm howitzer battalion arrived?"
"Reporting to the division commander, the 112mm howitzer battalion has entered its designated positions. There is a problem with the firing parameters, and we are correcting the firing data."
"Hurry up and tell the artillery battalion to aim properly and not hold back on ammunition. I want these Dragon Gang scum to taste the fires of hell!"
"yes!"
"After the three rounds of artillery fire, the 155th and 158th Regiments will be sent to flank the valley and enter the mountains."
"The 156th and 157th Regiments will launch a frontal attack and must completely capture the Longbang position before dawn."
"receive!"
......
7:45 p.m.
Work on the rock face has long since ceased.
The entire Savage Mountain Valley suddenly became exceptionally quiet.
Apart from the necessary lookout posts and sentries, almost all of the Dragon Gang's self-defense forces entered their defensive positions and bunkers.
Peng Demin waited silently for 10 minutes, but still did not receive any shelling from the government forces.
According to normal offensive procedures, Nevin would definitely first use D-20 howitzers to bombard the ground, and then launch a fierce ground offensive.
"That's strange, what's going on? Why is it so quiet on the other side?"
Peng Demin reached up and adjusted the brim of his helmet, muttering to himself:
"Could it be that they're plotting something sinister?"
He hesitated for a moment, just about to pick up the walkie-talkie to contact the forward outposts outside the valley.
Sudden.
A fiery red meteor shower streaked across the night sky above the distant mountains.
As the shells whistled through the air, half the sky was instantly dyed red.
Countless fireballs rose from the forest 5 kilometers away from the valley entrance.
A series of loud explosions erupted, shaking the surrounding mountains and forests...
"Rocket launchers? BM-8 multiple rocket launchers?!"
......
The open mountain forest where the 112mm howitzer battalion was located was turned into a sea of fire.
The continuous explosions covered the entire artillery position.
A barrage of rockets rained down from the sky, instantly stunning the artillery battalion that was about to fire.
Good heavens, where did all these rocket launchers come from?
Didn't the division's intelligence say that the troops brought by the Dragon Gang this time didn't have any decent heavy weapons?
"Boom boom boom..."
The dense explosions quickly detonated the shells on the howitzer position.
A series of even more intense bursts of fire shot into the sky.
Thick smoke billowed into the sky, turning into a huge mushroom cloud, and the entire area within a 1-kilometer radius became a sea of fire.
Amidst the rising and falling screams, scrap metal and mangled limbs flew everywhere...
What a fiery and chaotic battlefield!
...............................................
"What's going on? Where did this rocket launcher come from?"
Even though they were separated by two hills, Nawen could still feel the strong tremors from the explosion.
He was taken aback by the sudden turn of events.
"Reporting to the division commander, the weapon attacking the artillery battalion's position is a BM-8 multiple rocket launcher..."
"Damn it, where did the Dragon Gang get these multiple rocket launchers?" Navin's thin face turned ashen as he roared in fury. "Investigate! Investigate right now! Find the rocket launcher positions and destroy them all!"
"Commander, the 158th Regiment sent people there three minutes ago."
"Damn it!" Nevin grabbed his military cap and slammed it to the ground. "Tell the 158th Regiment to find this rat at all costs!"
The staff officers and adjutants around him remained silent, trembling with fear.
Even if these people had something to say, they dared not bring it up now for fear of incurring bad luck.
Actually, everyone knows that.
In the dark mountains, five or six kilometers away, with the insane firing rate of multiple rocket launchers, after firing several rounds, why would they stay in the same spot waiting for you to come to them?
I'm afraid that before the government troops even get halfway there, the enemy will have already quietly moved their positions.
The BM-8 light rocket launcher boasts powerful firepower and high density.
It can launch 48 82mm rockets at a time, and a salvo takes only 8 to 10 seconds, with a maximum range of 5,500 meters.
Besides its firepower, the BM-8's biggest advantage is its portability.
Therefore, it is particularly suitable for combat in mountainous jungles. In wartime, it can be mounted on a variety of lightweight vehicles, such as light tanks, mountain armored vehicles, military trucks, etc.
Tonight, the 89th Division was inexplicably attacked, losing an entire howitzer battalion.
This loss is considerable.
In particular, the blow to morale is fatal.
......
"Pass down the order: the 1st Battalion of the 155th Regiment will immediately rush to reinforce the howitzer position." Nevin clenched his fist and said in a deep voice, "Suspend all offensive plans."
...............................................
At the entrance to Savage Valley, the Self-Defense Army's position.
Peng Demin stared dumbfounded at the billowing smoke in the distance, his shock lingering for a long time.
Many of the self-defense soldiers on the hillside emerged from their bunkers.
The soldiers' faces were filled with disbelief.
This hellfire fell from the sky.
This surprised everyone.
Just over ten minutes ago, everyone was prepared to be bombarded by enemy artillery.
