Hearing this, Calum froze.
He never dreamed that the North Wing was also ambushed by the enemy.
As a result, the thousand elites he sent were all outmaneuvered by the opponent!
He had clearly and meticulously planned this attack on the enemy, and sent out all the elites who were most suitable for the
stealth mission.
Why were they all killed or injured as soon as they landed? How in the world did the enemy plan and set all this up in advance?
Just when Calum fell into extreme self-doubt, Hamid’s soldiers attacked in full force!
Hamid long ago, according to Charlie’s instructions, divided the entire base into five areas.
And each area, in turn, was divided into dozens of detailed coordinate bearings based on the location of the blast point.
Therefore, after the soldiers in each bunker knew which explosion point exploded according to the marked map, they
immediately understood the enemy’s current location.
Immediately afterwards, Hamid dispatched 800 soldiers on the front and back slopes to encircle the first echelon.
At the same time, the artillery in the tunnel on the reverse slope of the south wing immediately launched twenty small mortars,
aiming at the location of the explosion point in the north wing from the entrance of the tunnel in the south wing, and prepared to
launch another round of bombardment on the second echelon of the north wing.
The structure of the mortar is simple.
To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than a slender barrel fixed on a tripod.
This type of gun has a short range and low power.
Compared with towed artillery, it is insignificant.
However, this weapon also has its advantages.
The biggest advantage is that it is highly mobile and portable.
Launching is also very simple, as long as you adjust the angle and put the shell in the muzzle, it will be fired instantly.
During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Japanese Army Lieutenant General Nobihide Abe, known as the flower of the
famous general, was killed by a mortar by a young artillery of the Eighth Route Army.
It is precisely because of these advantages that this mortar has not been eliminated by the army for decades.
Hamid’s artillery knew the location of each explosion point in the north wing, so the adjustment before the bombardment was
very rapid.
After a minute or two, these twenty mortars began a round of uninterrupted bombing!
Moreover, the drop point of the shells was very accurate, almost exploding in the center of the second echelon’s assembly point.
The five hundred Dragon Palace soldiers in the second echelon themselves were very tragically bombed, and there was no time
to make any adjustments.
The dense mortar shells, like hail, fell on their side one after another.
At this time, the hilltop of the north wing had become a hell on earth.
After a few rounds of shelling, the death rate of the soldiers in the Ten Thousand Dragon Temple across the North Wing had
exceeded 90%.
The remaining people were also dying at this time.
“Tommy! Tommy! Answer quickly when you hear it!” Calum was about to collapse.
He was in the communication system, shouting the name of the second echelon commander.
However, on the other end of the intercom, there was nothing but the sound of heavy artillery, but no one could respond to him.
The second echelon commander, the British Tommy Johnson, had already been killed by mortar shells during the first round of
shelling.
Calum listened to the sound of mortar shells exploding inside the communicator and could not stop the tears from flowing down
his face.
He knew that the second echelon was powerless, so he immediately said to the commander of the first echelon: “Onizuka! Don’t
give up! I’ll have the 5,000 government soldiers launch a charge to get you back, no matter what!”
The commander of the first echelon, the Japanese Onizuka Kenta, laughed miserably and said, “Commander, don’t bother, the
enemy is coming up.
Goodbye Commander.”
