Chapter 935: The Fall of Nara
"Report to the brigade commander, all artillery pieces are ready, ammunition has been loaded, and target points have been calibrated correctly." An artillery squad leader reported to Hong Fang.
Hong Fang nodded slightly upon hearing this, and stared at the enemy's city defense position in the distance with a sharp gaze. He picked up the communicator and reported the preparations to Chen Tong again: "Report to the command post, the 417 Katyusha rocket launchers of the 166th Rocket Brigade and the 168th and th Rocket Regiments are ready, the ammunition has been loaded, and the target point has been calibrated correctly. Please instruct whether to carry out fire coverage."
Chen Tong's voice came from the communicator again, steady and powerful: "Brigade Commander Hong Fang, you have done a good job in preparation. Now, I order you to immediately provide fire coverage and let the enemy's defense line completely collapse under our artillery fire!"
Upon hearing this, Hong Fang picked up his baton, swung it vigorously, and gave the order to fire: "Fire!"
Instantly, the artillery position roared, and nearly 8,000 rockets streaked through the night sky like dense raindrops, heading straight for the enemy's city defense position. After drawing dazzling tracks in the night sky, these rockets caused violent explosions on the enemy's city defense position, and the flames and smoke intertwined into one, covering the entire position in a sea of fire.
After the explosion, the smoke gradually dissipated, but the entire enemy city defense position had become unrecognizable.
Nearly 8,000 Katyusha rockets rained down on the Fuso defense position like a violent storm, instantly enveloping the entire position in a sea of fire and smoke. This unprecedented firepower coverage caused a devastating blow to the two division-level troops on the Fuso defense position.
Under the fierce artillery fire, the originally solid city defenses became fragile. The city walls were breached in many places by the bombardment of rockets, and the rubble and smoke were like a doomsday scene, making the entire position unrecognizable. Those once indestructible bunkers and turrets were now only ruins, scattered all over the ground like toys torn apart by a huge force.
Shell craters were scattered all over the battlefield, some several meters deep, like scars on the earth, recording the cruelty and ruthlessness of this war. Smoke and fire intertwined, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of burning and blood, making people suffocate.
Under such artillery fire, the two division-level troops of Fuso were almost powerless to resist. The soldiers were blown away by the shock wave of the explosion, and their figures looked particularly small and helpless in the fire and smoke.
Some soldiers lost their limbs in the explosion, while others were hit by shrapnel, and their uniforms were stained red with blood. Their faces were filled with fear and despair, and their eyes had lost their former brilliance, leaving only endless darkness and death.
During the brief lull in the artillery fire, the surviving soldiers began to flee in all directions.
Some of them supported the wounded, some carried weapons, and some simply abandoned everything, just wanting to escape this hell on earth. Their cries, wails and prayers intertwined together, forming a miserable and tragic picture.
"Mom, save me!" A young soldier cried in the smoke, his face covered with blood and dirt, his eyes full of fear and helplessness.
But his cries received no response, only more explosions and smoke engulfed him.
"Run faster, run faster!" An old soldier turned back and shouted to his comrades behind him while running.
But his figure was soon engulfed by smoke and gunfire, and his figure gradually faded away in the flames.
Under the walls of Nara, a group of soldiers were trying to climb through the gap to escape from the battlefield. Their faces were filled with exhaustion and despair, and every step seemed so difficult. But even so, they still did not give up hope of survival and continued to climb forward.
However, not everyone was able to escape the disaster. Some soldiers were hit by artillery fire on their way to escape and fell in a pool of blood; others collapsed in the smoke and fire due to exhaustion and could never get up again.
Their figures gradually became blurred in the smoke and eventually turned into dust on this land.
This firepower coverage not only destroyed Fusang's city defense positions, but also revealed the fragility and struggle of human nature in extreme environments.
In this land ravaged by artillery fire, every life seems so small and helpless, and the shadow of war is like an invisible big hand, tightly strangling everyone's throat.
As the indiscriminate bombardment of 8,000 Katyusha rockets gradually stopped, a majestic and exciting charge horn sounded across the sky. It was a unique melody of the Chinese army, carrying the bravery and fearlessness of the soldiers, and conveying the belief and determination to win. This horn sound, like the call of the god of war, inspired the hearts of every expeditionary soldier, making them forget their fatigue and fear, and only the desire for victory remained in their eyes.
Chen Tong stood on the high ground of the command post, staring through the telescope at the Nara City defense position that had been destroyed beyond recognition. The smoke and flames had not yet completely dissipated, but it could be seen that Fuso's defense line had been shattered under continuous attacks and had almost lost any ability to resist.
"All troops, get ready!" Chen Tong's voice spread throughout the battlefield through the communicator, as steady as a mountain. "Now, I will give the final order and launch the final general attack!"
As Chen Tong's order was issued, the expeditionary forces quickly took action. The infantry, artillery, armored forces and other arms worked closely together to form an impeccable offensive network.
They gathered towards Nara City like a tide, every step they took marked the rhythm of victory and every shout resounded through the sky.
"Brothers, it's time to charge!" An infantry company commander waved the flag in his hand and shouted loudly, "Charge!"
Under his leadership, the infantry rushed towards Nara Castle like a tiger descending from a mountain, while the artillery continued to fire shells into the city, providing fire support for the infantry.
The armored troops drove tanks and armored vehicles, advancing forward like a steel torrent, their guns pointed directly at the enemy positions in the city.
The enemy soldiers in Nara City completely collapsed under the fierce attack of the expeditionary army. Some of them laid down their weapons and surrendered, while others tried to flee the battlefield, but they were intercepted one by one by the expeditionary soldiers.
Finally, with the continuous charge and attack of the expeditionary soldiers, Nara Castle was finally breached.
The enemy soldiers in the city were all annihilated or captured, while the expeditionary soldiers held high the flag of victory and cheered in the city. The end of this war had already been written - the Chinese army won the final victory.
Chen Tong stood on the high ground of the command post, looking at the expeditionary soldiers celebrating in the city, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
