Chapter 229: Fortifications, the Unbreakable Wall of Dragon Country
At the same time that more than 20 B29 bombers of the Eagle Sauce carried out carpet bombing on the Longguo positions.
Seeing the sea of fire on the opposite side through the telescope, Markway suddenly felt a complex emotion in his heart.
If I remember correctly.
Each B29 bomber could carry at least 8 tons of high-explosive ammunition.
In other words, the bombing just now dropped more than 80 tons of bombs on this small position!
Under such intensive and terrifying firepower.
Of the thousands of soldiers on the Dragon Nation battlefield, not even a single bone remains...
Even if there are a few people who survive by chance.
Under the high temperature of several hundred degrees, you will be roasted into a dried corpse!
In other words, he only needed to wait for the fire on the Longguo position to be extinguished.
You can then take over this empty position.
But, this moment.
Markway did not feel any excitement or thrill of victory.
On the contrary, for some reason, he gradually felt melancholy.
The position that they had failed to capture at the cost of more than 10,000 soldiers' lives was easily reduced to rubble by the air force's attack.
Look, with the development of weapons and equipment.
The army that he had always been proud of would soon be eliminated from the stage of history...
……
Ten minutes after the bombing.
On the Longguo position.
The position, which was not very large, had been badly destroyed by the fierce bombardment of the Eagle Sauce.
Huge bomb craters more than one meter deep were densely packed together, turning the relatively flat ground into a rough hill.
At the same time, the defensive fortifications on the position, which were originally used to resist the enemy's charge, were also destroyed by the powerful impact of high explosives and flying shrapnel.
Although there was nothing flammable on the position, there were flames of various sizes everywhere.
And under the illumination of these flames, the Dragon Kingdom's position was as bright as day.
At this moment, it became as silent as death...
Anyone who looks at it will feel that this position has been bombed and turned into a dead zone.
However, as the roar of the B29 engines of the Eagle Sauce gradually faded away.
A rough voice sounded.
"Old Zhao? Are you still alive, Old Zhao?"
As the sound rang out, an inconspicuous earth pit on the battlefield suddenly moved.
Li Yunlong struggled to get out.
"Li Yunlong, you curse me just because I provoked you? I'm fine!"
Hearing the sound, Zhao Gang's voice was also heard from not far away.
It immediately attracted Li Yunlong's attention.
Sure enough, although Zhao Gang was covered in dust and dirt, he emerged unharmed.
"Okay, okay! I knew you were lucky! But, you didn't lose any parts, did you?"
"What are you missing? My sister-in-law will definitely blame me when I get back..."
"Get lost! What time is it, and you're still messing around?"
Hearing this, Zhao Gang's face turned red with anger, and he immediately shouted at Li Yunlong angrily.
Then he looked around and shouted again.
"Da Biao! Da Biao! Are you okay?"
"Commissar! I'm fine too!"
Hearing this, Zhang Dabiao ran over from not far away and said hurriedly.
"Luckily, the political commissar reminded me in time. If it had been even a second later, I would have been dead..."
But then, Zhang Dabiao's face darkened slightly.
"I just did some statistics. The entire regiment suffered a total of 204 casualties in this bombing, including 189 deaths and 15 serious injuries. The losses are devastating..."
"However, in such a massive bombing, our regiment only lost a little over 200 people. This is a blessing in disguise!"
Then, Zhang Dabiao added with some fear.
"Speaking of which, in addition to the timely reminder from the political commissar, this is also thanks to the defensive fortification training manual you brought with you."
"Let's dig the air-raid shelter early."
"Otherwise, the casualties would probably be far more than this..."
The defensive fortification training manual mentioned by Zhang Dabiao.
It is a set of training regulations issued by the Long Kingdom after integrating the advantages and disadvantages of various fortifications during repeated wars.
Originally, this manual was compiled by several military experts after the Anti-Eagle and Aid Stick War.
But Fang Yu brought this book to light shortly after the war began.
after all.
On the original timeline.
The Dragon Kingdom does not have these high-tech weapons manufactured by itself.
But they still defeated the arrogant American troops on the peninsula.
In addition to the strong qualities and mental strength of the Dragon Country warriors themselves, the most critical factor is that their ability to build civil engineering works has reached the strongest level on Blue Planet!
In the original timeline, Triangle Mountain, also known as Shangganling, was also attacked by the Eagle Sauce.
During this battle, the Eagle Sauce, relying on its powerful firepower advantage, poured 190 million artillery shells and more than 5000 bombs on this 3.7 square kilometer position!
On average, six shells are fired every second, and 76 shells explode on every square meter of land.
Under such overwhelming firepower, even the height of Shangganling was reduced by three centimeters.
However, even with such a strong fire attack, they were unable to blow up even one of the defensive fortifications dug by the Dragon Country troops!
In the end, the Eagle Sauce was forced to return empty-handed.
Everyone says that Vietnam's tunnel warfare terrifies the Americans.
But compared to the fortifications and air-raid shelters built by the Dragon Nation soldiers, they were nothing more than dwarfs...
So, with his help, the Dragon Country warriors possessed weapons and equipment that surpassed those of the Eagle Country.
But Fang Yu didn't intend to let the soldiers give up such a fine tradition easily...
After hearing what Zhang Dabiao said, Zhao Gang's face turned a little pale.
He sighed and said.
"Da Biao, you must remember to memorize the names of these soldiers later!"
"These more than 200 soldiers are all great!"
"They sacrificed their lives for the motherland and the people. No matter what, we must ensure that future generations will remember them!"
"Yes, Commissar, I'll remember that. I'll do it after the war is over!"
Hearing this, Zhang Dabiao saluted and said seriously.
But then, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Li Yunlong looked at his expression, raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Captain, actually...this bombing killed over 200 of our soldiers."
"Those two PG99 anti-aircraft guns you brought me were also blown up by those damned Eagles!"
"I'm just worried. If the Eagles launch another air raid, we really won't be able to deal with it..."
