Wang Junfeng and the Air Force commanders who received this secret telegram were not very happy. It is naturally a very happy thing for the Chinese to have a killing weapon to counter the opponent's advanced weapons and equipment.

But after receiving the secret telegram, I have no time to celebrate happily now. The growing group of marshals in the sky has made them busy with coordination and command.

The opponent's radar reconnaissance system was killed but not the opponent's air command system. The opponent could still rely on the airport located behind to conduct limited air command. However, for the Australian and American coalition aircraft that had lost its air warning capabilities, the situation had deteriorated to an extreme level.

Because the Chinese killed too many front-line airport planes yesterday, the number of planes flying from the rear is obviously insufficient, and the fuel cannot support themselves in combat and patrol for too long as they used to do.

What's even more terrible is that without radar warning, you can only patrol and discover Chinese fighter jets in the sky. The Chinese on the opposite side can use their more advanced radar to determine which area is a weak area and a strong air force. You can even calmly dispatch aircraft to organize formations to kill and eliminate them once and for all.

In fact, Chinese air commanders do the same. Faced with the loss of ground radar guidance, US aircraft can only disperse the vigilance or passive situation of firefighting. If they do not seize such a good opportunity to organize effective forces to kill these main air forces, then these Chinese air commanders will not have to hang out on the command tower!

On the ground, various artillery units entered the designated positions before the war. Some troops who participated in yesterday's artillery battle had withdrawn due to excessive fatigue or the artillery was not suitable for firing again and then launched a general attack.

However, more artillery units, especially those towed heavy artillery last night, had arrived onto positions under the tow of trucks.

The wide gun mount spread out around, helping the hoe penetrate deep into the ground to give the gun better stability. The gun body gradually raised its thick gun body under the rapid control of the gunners.

Not far from the artillery, a series of ammunition had been placed. On other positions, one, two, two-caliber medium and long-range rocket launchers were also equipped with cloud bombs specially transported to this place.

As for those ultra-long-range rocket launchers, they have already loaded their own cloud-explosive missiles and installed them on the launch rack to wait for the order to be launched at any time.

The infantry and armored troops responsible for ground propulsion also quietly entered near the center line. They were on standby and resting, and each car was adjusted to the best state by the soldiers.

Each soldier shaved a buzz head, the guns in his hands had been wiped and maintained, and his personal daily necessities had been uniformly concentrated in the logistics and supplies teams of each unit for follow-up and transported. Each soldier only carried two pots of water, and the daily combat rations, and the freed load was loaded with the most ammunition. He just waited quietly, waiting for the issuance of the attack order.

In the command center, it is now surprisingly quiet. All the calls that always resound on weekdays have stopped calling. Not only these calls, but even the radio communications have suddenly become silent.

In just under three minutes, everyone was speechless and silent. The artillery, the air force, and the commanders of various combat units in the entire theater were listening carefully to the receiver sticking to their ears, and everyone was waiting for one person's orders.

In the room, everyone was watching Wang Junfeng standing in the center holding a telephone and microphone. As a commander, this was the first time that Wang Junfeng issued a general offensive order for such a huge battle, which made him a little excited.

He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down and slowly glanced around all the colleagues in the command center who looked at him. In their eyes, Wang Junfeng saw enthusiasm, confidence, perseverance, and victory!

"All combat units, I am Wang Junfeng, commander of the Australian Military Region. Today is May 15, 1944 AD. It is now 14:30 pm. I order all combat troops to attack with all their strength!"

"Open fire!!"

While the commander threw down the phone and roared, the artillery that had been waiting for a long time roared instantly. The rockets made a harsh whistling sound through the air. The vibration of flames and various shells made everyone gush and secrete adrenaline.

With one round of shells, the rockets quickly loaded into the empty gun barrel. In the bullet barrel, they continued to fire a rain of bombs as dense as hail at the three main assembly defensive positions of the US military.

These three main positions were selected as the first decisive place for the battle because these three were named ABC three defense group areas by the US military. Each group area gathered various forces, with the least manpower exceeding 200,000 people.

Only by destroying these three gathering defense areas that mainly guard the three key traffic points and killing most of the Australian and American coalition forces inside can Xiong Puliang dare to boldly continue to move forward as a whole.

The first one to fire was the artillery troops. Their mission was to destroy ground targets layer by layer when various types of aircraft arrived above the other party's scheduled plan.

Then when the self-propelled artillery advances with the ground troops, the unpowered artillery will continue to perform suppressive artillery bombardment, and the fire suppression task that is not needed will be carried out by the air force that is just arrived.

For this shelling, Wang Junfeng prepared more than 4,000 artillery pieces of various caliber for the Australian and American coalition forces, which is almost 80% of the number of the entire Australian military region. Among these artillery, many of them are 40-barrel one-two-two rocket launchers.

If you count the number of rockets launched by a rocket launcher in a single time, it is probably only the opposite Australian and American coalition forces know the weight of the firepower.

"Hey! This is the A18 defense line. We are bombarded by the Chinese here. Please support! Please support!"

"I am in Area B7. We have been hit hard with a violent shelling that we have never seen before. There are too many casualties and request reinforcements!"

"This is C4 area. God, come and save us. We have more than ten Chinese shells fallen here every second. For God's sake, come and save us!"

"Please, whether it is aircraft, tanks or cannons, hurry up and send them out. Many of the soldiers here were shocked. No one had ever seen such fierce artillery fire! This place has become hell!"

"I don't care what reason you have now. Listen to the dense sound of shells outside. This is nearly ten times stronger than the shelling last night! Send reinforcements immediately! What we are now under the strength of ten shells per second!"

All kinds of calls for help rushed into the coalition command crazily. On the other end of each phone, people over there could be heard hysterical shouting.

These sounds tear their vocal cords to the highest decibels so that the people here can hear clearly in the background of the huge gunfire, but the difference is that the contents of the shouting are different.

Some are asking for help, some are crazy, some are begging, and some are even directly ordered regardless of the difference in identity and rank. No matter what the content is, there is only one core: that is, the Chinese artillery fire, which makes Americans unable to bear.

What is the density of ten shells hitting the ground per second? This is simply using the speed of fire of a submachine gun to shoot artillery. In such a situation, the soldiers on the defensive side must bear great psychological pressure.

The training and nutrition of US soldiers are good, but they are not at all sacrificing their lives in combat. When facing this level of firepower suppression, morale is very easy to collapse.

The continuous and dense shells hitting the ground made the morale of Australian and American coalition soldiers instantly fall to the lowest point. Most of the American soldiers nowadays are young people who just understand the meaning of soldiers.

When they first fought with the Japanese devils in the Pacific, they all had weak legs and cramps when facing the Japanese soldiers' weapons, even if they fought with the Japanese devils on the Pacific islands, they were mostly a favorable battle.

Due to the lack of various minerals, even Germany filled shells with black gunpowder in the late war. When facing the shells fired by the Japanese devils in a country where black gunpowder and more common picric acid, the American soldiers still showed some things that made Patton and other American commanders speechless.

On several front-line positions, the injured American soldiers were hysterically shouting at lifeguards or mothers. The bodies everywhere made people shudder when they saw it. The priests of the army were unable to pray for every soldier who died.

The priests, who were originally small in number, also suffered heavy casualties under the indiscriminate coverage firepower. In addition to the cry of the wounded before death, only the falling shells remained on the positions everywhere.

However, those are all the effects produced by other troops. In Area B, which is the combat area where the Chinese Expeditionary Army mainly faces, there is another set of artillery tactics and methods.

"The eighth artillery group extends eastward to shoot. Very well, blocking the opponent's escape from behind."

"The Sixth Cannon Group, your shelling area is too east and extends a little to the north. Yes, that's it, drive the white devils running everywhere into the middle."

"The ninth cannon group, you extend too fast, slow down the pace. That's right, if you drive too fast, it will affect the speed of rushing people in other directions."

At this time, reconnaissance aircraft that corrected the landing points of artillery shells appeared in the sky. Their mission was to correct the landing points of artillery shells for various artillery groups from high altitude. This was the culprit who had previously thought that they had been hit by artillery shells. However, every time it appeared, it meant that the other party had to bear the situation of corpses everywhere.

The artillery of the Expeditionary Army is extremely clever. They are not gradually advancing forward like other troops. Although these artillery is beautiful and fierce, they are also extremely fierce when they are shot. When the rows of shells hit you are gradually approaching you, many people will be frightened and panicked and flee backwards.

Faced with the escape, the artillery of the Expeditionary Army was not a fan of, and the artillery of the Expeditionary Army had already explored a more effective method in combat.

From previous battles, artillery soldiers of the Expedition Army discovered that when facing the layers of artillery fire from the Chinese, many of the soldiers on the opposite side would blow up groups and run around.

If the firepower extends from front to back, in fact, many soldiers on the other side will escape from the sky, especially when it is necessary to focus on destroying the Luzhai on the road ahead that blocks the advance of Chinese tanks. There are still gullies in the minefield, which will give the other side more time to escape.

For this reason, the artillery soldiers of the Expeditionary Army mastered a unique artillery attack method through continuous research and exploration.

Instead of slowly advancing layer by layer, it is better to chase the other party to drive in the direction they need. From the perspective of the sky, several areas of the coalition area B that the Expeditionary Army deals with are now divided into artillery.

A ring is formed in each area, and the circle is slowly searching towards the center of the circle. There are a large number of people and vehicles are constantly running around.

Unfortunately, the shells that kept falling around made them lose the courage and belief to rush out. If people and vehicles were concentrated at this time rushing in one direction, using the time difference adjusted by artillery and the time difference during flight, they could really rush out a lot.

However, this type of shelling is precisely the use of the psychological panic characteristics of human beings at this time, making it impossible for you to gather in formations and assemble.

When facing threats from terrorist shells on all sides, the Australian and American soldiers who were already scared and panicked had long lost their sense of direction and their heart to obey orders. Now the Australian and American soldiers just want to leave this place early and leave here far away. They run desperately, wanting to run out of these shells that are constantly approaching themselves.

But before we knew it, these white soldiers would gradually run to the center of this circle to form the most dense and effective killing area.

"Note to the thirteenth, fourteenth, seventeenth, twenty-five rocket launcher group, the target within the target area b8 has been encircled, and firepower is now covered in the area b8..."

After seeing the target area basically forming the best attack opportunity, a large number of rockets fired from the Chinese artillery group drove the entire central area into a sea of ​​death.

When the white devils who are constantly panic and running around can fire rockets in the middle of the white devils and can complete a large number of intensive killings, the use of cloud bombs will further increase the casualty rate of the white devils. Oh, it's wrong, it is to ensure that the mortality rate will further increase.

Under the various means of shock waves of the cloud explosion bomb, which are wrapped in fragments, high temperatures and suffocation, there are few survivors who can survive within the power range.

This point has been proved by the effects of many practical combats that cloud explosion bombs are the terrifying weapon second only to nuclear bombs. After the war, all countries listed cloud explosion bombs as sub-nuclear bombs, which is the best annotation on the terrifying power of cloud explosion bombs.

From the sky, after the cloud bombs landed, they did not quickly form a column of smoke as dense as the original deep forest in the central area as if they were ordinary shells and warheads, but suddenly burst out a super huge and terrifying flame.

Each rocket is scattered in various areas of the central area, and the rapidly released secondary explosion gas is quickly connected together. Under the effect of the overall explosion, the flame looks like an extremely large red flower covering the entire central area.

Next to them are the black smoke columns that are constantly blowing out of shells. Among the large number of photos, images and even color photos and images collected after the war, this extremely dazzling flame is called the Flower of Flame.

Because every time such a flower of death blooms means that a large number of Australian and American coalition soldiers die in various ways under this flower of flames.

After dealing with the Australian and American coalition soldiers in this area, the reconnaissance planes in the sky had no time to observe the results of the battle, and directly directed the artillery group to divide the next area again, encircle and cover it, and had a lot of fun.

In fact, there is no need to observe any results. People and animals covered by such flame flowers do not have much chance of survival. Even soldiers riding in tanks, lucky points are just outside the flame flowers, and they may still be able to rely on the remaining air in the tank compartment to wait for the air to circulate again for a short while.

Those unlucky guys who were too close to the central explosion area became a dead place like all the creatures and things around them.

There is only the sound of ammunition that is constantly burning and dying is the only sound on this land. In an environment of hypoxia and suffocation, there are not even wounded soldiers, and some are just corpses.

It is precisely because of the terrifying power of the cloud bomb that long after the war, this land, like the places where cloud bombs have been used, has become a deserted land of thatched vegetation.

No one likes this place. When the night wind blows, the whimpering wind always makes people seem to hear the crying and screaming of hundreds of thousands of Australian and American coalition forces.

However, just like the place not far from the south, it has become a holy place that the diving party likes, the land on the east side of Port Augusta has become a holy place for the digging party.

Decades later, a large number of objects such as corpses, helmets, guns, identity plates, personal items, even tanks, and cars can be easily dug out here. These objects kept silently narrating the unprecedented one-sided overwhelming battle back then.

After the war, the survivors and prisoners of the Australian and American coalition forces' Area B were the most terrified not by Chinese tanks and infantry, but by the fact that they would go crazy when they saw Chinese artillery and rocket artillery.

Under such terrifying and lethal power, many American soldiers were bombed with psychological trauma, leaving deep psychological shadows even after intervention and adjustment by Chinese psychologists.

After returning to China, these survivors could not hear the sudden loud noise, the whistling sound similar to the whistling sound of rockets falling, nor the roar of planes flying at low altitude, nor could they see a large piece of red. Because these things can evoke their painful memories of the miserable scene back then.

The Flower of Flame was later specifically criticized for the group of artillery tactics such as the Expeditionary Army artillery, because even the red explosion circles produced by the group bombers behind it were not comparable to those produced by the Expeditionary Army artillery in terms of aesthetics.

Without the gray-black smoke columns made of artillery shells on the edge, the things made of bombers were only fireworks, and there was no such special beauty as artillery made of expeditionary army artillery.
