Chapter 867 Despair and Powerlessness
However, facing the extremely fast and ever-changing V2 rockets, Fuso's air defense forces seemed powerless. Although their anti-aircraft artillery fire was dense, it was like a fist hitting cotton, and it was impossible to effectively intercept the rockets. The air defense commanders shouted anxiously and tried to adjust their tactics, but all their efforts seemed so pale and powerless.
"Report to the commander, anti-aircraft fire cannot effectively intercept V2 rockets, they are too fast!" The voice of an air defense commander came through the communication equipment, his tone full of despair.
After hearing this, Nanyun Chuichi's face became even gloomier. He clenched his teeth, his heart filled with resentment and anger. But he knew that now was not the time to be depressed, he had to continue to command the battle until the last moment.
"Continue trying to intercept, and at the same time notify the ground troops to be prepared for the impact!" Nagumo Chuichi's voice sounded again.
However, the nine V2 rockets did not give the Fuso army much time to react. With deafening explosions, the entire Fuso 1-4 position was instantly engulfed in flames.
The explosion of the rocket was so powerful that it not only destroyed the ground fortifications, but also triggered a chain reaction. The flames and shock waves of the explosion were like the devil's claws, tearing the position into pieces.
As V2 rockets fell one after another, the entire battlefield seemed to be engulfed by the fire of hell. Under the cover of night, flames shot up into the sky, illuminating every inch of land, and also reflecting the unprecedented despair and chaos of the Fuso army.
After receiving the order to retreat, a large number of ground troops had already hurriedly retreated to the underground fortifications, which was their last safe haven. However, for the air defense forces that had not yet evacuated, this moment became a nightmare from which they could not escape.
The anti-aircraft towers, which were once regarded as solid fortresses defending the sky, now seemed so vulnerable under the bombardment of V2 rockets.
Rockets hit the target accurately, accompanied by deafening explosions. The air defense tower collapsed and turned into ruins as if a giant waved his hand lightly.
In the flames, steel bars and concrete were torn and twisted like pieces of paper. Concrete debris flew everywhere, like arrows of death, ruthlessly piercing everything around.
The soldiers of the air defense force were now in extreme panic and despair.
They once thought that with these air defense towers, they could resist the threat from the sky, but now, all their beliefs collapsed at this moment. The flames and shock waves of the explosions continued to impact their nerves, and every vibration made their hearts rise to their throats.
"Run! Run!" a soldier shouted hoarsely, his voice was crying and full of fear of death.
However, he was soon hit by a powerful force. He was thrown into the air by the blast and then fell heavily to the ground, unable to get up again.
"No! This is impossible! How could we lose!" another soldier shouted in despair. He tried to find a place to hide, but there was only fire and ruins all around, and there was nowhere to escape. His eyes were full of confusion and unwillingness, as if he was still unwilling to accept this cruel reality.
More soldiers pushed and trampled each other in the chaos, trying to find a ray of hope in the shadow of death. But their efforts seemed in vain, and the aftermath of the explosion continued to come, taking away a group of lives each time.
The air was filled with the smell of burning, the scent of blood, and desperate cries. The whole scene was like hell on earth.
Amidst this chaos and despair, a few soldiers chose to hold on.
Perhaps they knew that escape was hopeless, or perhaps they stayed on the battlefield to protect their comrades or important facilities, interpreting the honor and dignity of soldiers with their last lives.
But even so, their efforts seemed so small and powerless in the face of the destructive power of the V2 rocket.
The half-hour silence seemed like centuries to Chuichi Nagumo in the underground fortifications.
Under the dim light, Chuichi Nagumo's figure appeared particularly heavy, and his eyes revealed an indescribable complex emotion.
At this moment, the hurried footsteps of the signalman broke the silence in the room. He pushed the door open with a stern expression.
"Report to the commander, emergency!" The signalman's voice was trembling. Obviously, the news he brought was not optimistic.
Nanyun Chuichi slowly turned around and looked at the signalman with a sharp gaze, as if to penetrate his words and reach every corner of the battlefield. "Tell me, what's the situation?"
The signalman took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "Five air defense squadrons at positions 1-9 have lost contact with the headquarters. According to speculation, they are likely... in danger."
Hearing this, Nanyun Chuichi's body trembled slightly, but then he regained his composure. He had actually rehearsed this outcome countless times in his mind. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if he was absorbing all the pain and despair into his chest.
"I understand." Nanyun Chuichi's voice was low and powerful. He opened his eyes and said loudly: "Pass my order. When the enemy's long-range firepower subsides, immediately organize manpower and build new air defense positions. We must weave an air defense firepower network again and never let their air force take advantage of the opportunity!"
When the signalman heard this, he felt a surge of respect in his heart.
He knew that the commander in front of him had never given up his belief in resistance and counterattack even in the most desperate moments.
The signalman immediately straightened his back and answered loudly: "Yes! Sir! I will complete the mission!"
As the signalman left, Nagumo Chuichi sat back at his desk.
Chuichi Nagumo picked up a pen and began to draw on the map, already planning a new air defense layout in his mind.
The next battle will be more difficult, but he also understands that only by persisting can he see the dawn of victory.
In the communications room of the general command headquarters, Wang Tianming's voice was clearly transmitted to Liu Chengxu's ears through the encrypted communication line.
"Commander Liu, I'll report the latest battle situation to you." Wang Tianming said, "Our missile troops have completed twelve rounds of uninterrupted fire coverage, and the enemy's air defense facilities have been almost completely destroyed. According to our speculation, Fuso's position should be in a mess now, just like the land that has been turned over, it has been bombed beyond recognition."
Liu Chengxu was on the other end of the phone, his lips slightly raised, revealing a satisfied smile.
"Well done, Wang Tianming." Liu Chengxu's voice was steady and powerful. "However, the battle is not over yet. We cannot give the enemy any chance to breathe, let alone the opportunity to build new air defense positions. Therefore, I order you to carry out a long-range strike every hour to ensure that the enemy cannot gain a foothold in the ruins."
"Yes, Commander Liu!" Wang Tianming replied immediately, "Make sure to complete the mission and never let the enemy take advantage of any opportunity."
After hanging up the call, Wang Tianming immediately turned around and issued new instructions to the combat staff beside him. They acted quickly and began to adjust the parameters and schedule of the missile launch to ensure that each round of strikes could accurately land on the enemy's position.
