"Very good, still a bit close, less than 50 meters, three rapid fire shots, then keep firing for 15 seconds, and hit half the base first..."
Listening to Li Qing's voice on the radio, Gottlieb couldn't help but secretly gasp. With this strategy, not to mention the enemy's entire battalion, not even a single regiment would be left, right?
Soon after, two 88mm Flak36 45-fold anti-aircraft guns began their roar. The ground was shaking, and dazzling red light spread from one end to the other in the visible world.
Accompanied by the whistling sound in the air, in the telescope Li Qing raised, the hill where the enemy was located in the distance looked like purgatory. Accompanied by billowing flames and thick smoke, trees and stumps flew up from time to time amid the violent explosions. , made Li Qing feel the cruelty of war again.
I couldn't help but think about what would happen if I was unlucky enough to be in that purgatory? Then I couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. It's not easy to live in a war.
Also in a daze were the team members who were watching the excitement around them. Their mouths were wide open and their eyes were dull. They could not recover from the shock in front of them for a long time! This was the first time for everyone to see the power of large-caliber artillery. These were just two 88-guns operated by novices. We really couldn’t imagine what a larger-caliber and larger-scale artillery attack would be like.
"It's too cruel...it's too cruel..." Many people murmured to themselves.
Seeing that the red dots representing enemies on the system map disappeared slowly, Li Qing came to his senses. Now the shells were doing less and less damage to the enemies. After the initial chaos, most of the remaining enemies were hiding. The possibility of surviving is very high, unless you are very unlucky!
The enemy has suffered a lot of casualties, and the remaining ones probably have little will to fight. As long as the bombardment stops, the enemy will definitely find a way to escape. When the time comes, they will run down the mountain in a swarm. It depends on whether Li Qing and Monkey's guess is accurate.
The shelling would stop at any time. Li Qing quickly woke up everyone who was still in a daze with their mouths wide open. The test of the tank team had just begun!
The explosion stopped, and soon after, shaking figures began to appear on the hillock that had been damaged by artillery fire. Soon after, people began to descend from the west side of the hill, and then a group of them rolled and climbed, looking as embarrassed as a bereaved dog...
Li Qing warned: "The enemy is out, be careful to hide!"
The monkey's guess was correct, but it was not completely correct. Most of the enemies came out from the southwest of the hill and fled to the raised slope. The target was the forest line in the distance, about a hundred people. The reason why I say it is not completely correct is because there are enemies descending the mountain from other directions, some alone, and some in groups of three or five. After descending the mountain, they randomly find a direction and start escaping. There are actually a few descending from the east. Mountain, go straight to the road.
About one kilometer away, a large group of fleeing enemies was marching. They had no heavy weapons and were dressed in rags, as if they were fleeing from famine. The group gradually became a line, with endless clattering. The leader had already run two hundred meters, slowly. They just helped each other down to the foot of the mountain.
The team members were all watching from a hidden place, and they could see the figure passing in front of them without using binoculars.
Li Qing was a little excited when he personally directed an ambush at close range for the first time, but when the enemy appeared, he became upset. There are about a hundred enemies, and they have stretched out a team of nearly 300 meters. Can this ambush be carried out? Let’s not talk about how effective the artillery attack is. The time it takes to adjust the direction of the artillery fire is enough for the enemy to run another hundred meters. Moreover, once the attack starts, the enemy is bound to scatter and flee. If something goes wrong, the enemy will attack the ambush position. It's not impossible.
This ambush was based on the premise of safely withdrawing from the battle. Faced with this situation, Li Qing was also very worried and unwilling. For a moment, he had no choice but to fight in his heart.
Seeing that the enemy's team had already marched more than half a kilometer away, Li Qing delayed giving battle orders. Some in the tank team were happy and some were worried.
The monkey stared at the enemies in the distance. There were quite a lot of them. Only when you saw them with your own eyes did you know how many a hundred people were. I was afraid that they were already halfway there. There were only eleven crooked green onions on my side. Comparing the number of people on both sides, he held 98K. The monkey breathed a sigh of relief: Just don’t fight, grandma, it looks a bit scary!
Commander Hilmer of No. 178 was a little impatient. He looked at Li Qing anxiously from time to time, but he still had no intention of fighting: If he doesn't fight the enemy, he will pass. How could such a good ambush opportunity be missed like this? Even if you hit them randomly, you can knock down a few...
This was the first time for most of the team members to experience this kind of thing. Their whole body muscles were tense and stiff, and it was the first time they saw so many enemies passing by. Should I fight? There are too many enemies, and the distance is not too far! Turning around to look at Type I and C in the hiding place, Boss Li on the turret is so unwilling to give orders? To fight or not to fight? Continuing to be anxious, most of the enemy team had gradually passed by. It seemed that this ambush would not be possible, so they all slowly exhaled a long breath.
After waiting until all the enemy troops had passed, and the fastest ones were almost reaching the raised slope, Li Qing actually gave an order into the microphone: "Get ready to fight!"
The members of the tank team were a little confused. They were too confused to think about it. They hurriedly adjusted the artillery and got ready to fire.
On the tank turret behind the bushes, Li Qing exposed half of his body and held a telescope. The enemies who were running fast were already on the slope. The enemies behind him were less than 300 meters away from the slope. They could still run away with a sprint. I couldn't help wiping the sweat from my forehead. There is no rule in ambush that I can only block the enemy and hit them. Today I am going to ambush the enemy's butt, betting that the enemy would rather keep running forward than turn around and charge at me.
"HE, plow them all from front to back, hit the ones on the slope first!" Following Li Qing's order, three No. 1 tank destroyers opened fire one after another, and the shells were fired among the enemies who had climbed up the slope. Flowers, those who were close fluttered to the ground without making any movement, while those who were far away fluttered and fell down.
As the artillery shells wreaked havoc on the enemy's retreat route, the enemies who had just escaped from the hills were hiding in all directions. They had just escaped from the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den again, leading a miserable life.
The enemies who could survive the heavy artillery bombardment were somewhat capable. They seemed to realize that the caliber of the artillery fire was not large. The smart ones got up and rushed towards the slope with their heads and heads lowered. As long as they crossed the slope and entered. In the woods, your life is saved!
After a while, the bombardment stopped, and there were no enemies standing on the retreat route. Li Qing smashed his mouth and asked the monkey: "How many have you run away?"
"Uh... I ran away for about twenty or thirty years... That was really life-threatening..." The monkey has not recovered from the shock, and he probably doesn't even know what he is talking about.
"If you don't run, you will lose your life! What are you thinking... Let's go over and have a look!" Li Qing raised her leg and kicked the monkey's seat.
