Chapter 148 Bombarding Eagle Valley Fortress



A full-strength artillery battalion consists of 12 152mm howitzers and 36 105mm howitzers, for a total of 48 artillery pieces.

Each cannon has a capacity of 60 shells. In less than half an hour, this concrete fortress, 60 meters high and about 100 meters wide, withstood the bombardment of 2,880 heavy artillery shells...

At the far end of the valley, the artillery battalion commander raised his binoculars to carefully observe and assess the effects of the shelling.

The smoke from the Eagle Valley fortress in sight slowly dissipated.

The once thick and sturdy outer walls of the fortress have been damaged and peeled off in many places, and the surrounding rocks have also turned black.

"The damage level is too low; it's really a tough turtle shell to chew!"

The artillery battalion commander shook his head and muttered something helplessly.

Inside the fortress, Kunfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the shelling had stopped.

Although he had always been confident in the Eagle Valley fortress, he was still on edge after experiencing such intense artillery fire for the first time.

"Don't worry, with a two-meter-thick reinforced concrete wall, even if a 152mm howitzer hits the same point, it will take at least 8 to 10 hits."

Lin Dong lit a cigarette and spoke slowly.

During the shelling, he remained calm, seemingly unconcerned about the artillery fire.

"I was too nervous."

Kunfeng gave an awkward laugh.

"It is impolite not to reciprocate, Kunfeng. Have someone open the firing port and prepare a Barrett for me."

Lin Dong exhaled a cloud of smoke and said calmly.

"Yes," Kunfeng replied after a moment's surprise, then instructed his men to prepare.

"Boss Lin, what are you trying to do?"

Kun Sheng, standing nearby, asked in confusion, "Could it be that Boss Lin is going to use a Barrett sniper rifle to target the artillery position?"

But is that even possible?

It's at least 3.5 kilometers from here to the howitzer position. At that distance, you'd be lucky to even see the target, let alone hit a person.

"The Barrett bullet has a caliber of 12.7 mm and an effective range of 2,000 meters, but its maximum range can reach 6,800 meters. Just because others can't do it doesn't mean I can't."

Lin Dong met the astonished gazes of his subordinates, leaned back comfortably, and revealed an extremely eerie smile.
