Chapter 217: Counterattack 1
The enemies that originally besieged the cave did not seem to have concentrated all their forces in one place.
In the other three directions, only about ten thousand troops were deployed.
In sharp contrast, the enemy troops in the front numbered as many as 30,000 to 40,000 people, and their offensive was unstoppable.
Thanks to the cover of night and the interference caused by the intense gunfire.
The troops led by Lu Tianhao moved as quickly as ghosts and completed the reverse encirclement of the enemy in the blink of an eye.
According to rough estimates, the total number of enemy troops involved in the siege of the cave was around 60,000 to 70,000.
However, facing this seemingly powerful opponent, Lu Tianhao was not afraid at all.
He skillfully deployed his troops and sent 10,000 elite soldiers to three other directions, and also successfully achieved a counter-encirclement of the enemy.
At the same time, Lu Tianhao personally led the remaining 20,000 soldiers, quietly approached the enemy's front line of defense, and gradually completed the construction of the encirclement.
When they were still some distance away from the enemy, Lu Tianhao decisively gave an order, requiring all troops to stop advancing.
Next, he directed the soldiers to carry out the land leveling work in an orderly manner, ensuring that each small area was large enough to accommodate a vehicle equipped with a multiple rocket launcher.
After a busy and intense period, a total of 500 vehicle-mounted multiple rocket launchers were lined up in an orderly manner, creating a spectacular scene.
After everything was ready, Lu Tianhao issued another order to accurately adjust the shooting target.
With an order, countless rockets streaked across the night sky like meteors, pouring towards the enemy ahead, instantly launching a thrilling all-round bombing.
In an instant, eight thousand rockets poured down like raindrops, accurately hitting the dense and crowded crowd of the enemy!
In an instant, flames shot up into the sky, accompanied by deafening explosions, and the entire battlefield seemed to be torn in half.
The shock wave generated by the explosion swept in with overwhelming force, razing everything around it to the ground.
The explosion of the rocket ignited the trees in the mountains, and the raging flames lit up the entire night sky.
And those enemies who were at the center of the explosion were torn into pieces by the powerful force, with blood and flesh flying everywhere, it was a horrible sight.
Some people were blown to pieces, some were burned to ashes, and some died without even having the chance to scream.
The ground was covered with holes of varying sizes, and blood and minced meat mixed together to form a shocking sea of blood.
The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder and death, which was sickening.
This extremely horrific bombing scene was like hell coming to earth, making all witnesses feel creepy and shudder.
Under the reflection of the blazing fire, every move of the enemy was exposed.
Lu Tianhao had a clear view of their troop distribution, fortifications, weapons and equipment through a high-powered telescope.
Lu Tianhao acted decisively and quickly replaced the vehicle-mounted multiple rocket launcher that had just completed its launch mission with a brand new device filled with rockets.
Then he issued an order, requiring the soldiers to immediately recalibrate their shooting targets and prepare to launch a new round of more fierce attacks.
As the command was conveyed, all the soldiers skillfully adjusted the direction and angle of the muzzles and aimed at the enemy's position.
When everything was ready, with just one order, countless rockets rose into the sky like fire dragons, and with sharp and piercing whistles, they rushed towards the enemy positions in an overwhelming manner.
Those enemies who had thought they were lucky enough to escape the first bombing were now in extreme panic.
Faced with this sudden and powerful second round of artillery attack, they had no time to react.
In an instant, the entire battlefield was shrouded in the huge shock wave generated by the explosion, and smoke and dust filled the sky, blocking out the sun.
Those enemies who were unfortunately within the explosion range were blown to pieces, with blood and flesh flying everywhere, and eventually turned into ruins and ashes.
The enemies in the other three directions were like frightened birds, completely confused by this sudden bombing.
The originally peaceful battlefield in front of us instantly turned into a sea of fire, filled with smoke and flying dust.
Such fierce and intensive bombing is not something that ordinary weapons can achieve. Only heavy weapons with large numbers and enormous power have such earth-shaking bombing capabilities.
Faced with this sudden change, they did not dare to be negligent and quickly dispatched elite soldiers to launch reconnaissance operations.
These battle-hardened scouts shuttled through the flames of war like ghosts, trying to find the source of the bombing and the truth behind it.
However, time is running out and the situation is critical. Every second may determine life or death.
Before long, the news spread back to the enemy camp like lightning.
It turned out that the frontal troops of the National Salvation Army who were besieging the cave were now suffering from indiscriminate bombardment from all directions!
The huge army of 30,000 to 40,000 people suffered heavy losses in this horrific bombing and was almost wiped out. There were only a few thousand survivors.
Just as the enemies in the other three directions fell into deep fear and despair, even more frightening news came one after another.
According to the scouts' reports, they found themselves tightly surrounded by a group of unidentified enemies!
It was as if an invisible giant net had dropped from the sky, trapping them tightly inside, making it impossible for them to escape.
The enemy at this time was like a turtle in a jar, with endless panic and helplessness in their hearts.
Lu Tianhao was fully aware of the difficulty and complexity of this task.
He calmly thought about every detail and issued clear instructions to the troops responsible for the encirclement in the other three directions.
"As long as the enemy does not try to break through the encirclement, we should hold our ground for now and not launch an attack rashly."
Because he knew very well that the battlefield shrouded in darkness was full of variables and unknowns.
There are many disadvantages in fighting at night, both for our side and the enemy.
Therefore, Lu Tianhao ordered all troops to quickly build solid defensive fortifications and be ready for battle.
If the enemy dares to break out by force, we must stop them with all our might and never let them succeed!
All further military action will have to wait until dawn, which is the best time to launch a full-scale offensive against this group of enemy soldiers.
In order to ensure that everything goes smoothly, Lu Tianhao also specially allocated a large number of powerful mortars to the three teams.
These artillery pieces were like sleeping beasts, quietly lying dormant on their positions, waiting for the first light of dawn to roar and turn the enemy's positions into a sea of fire.
However, unexpectedly, the enemies besieged on three sides did not take immediate action to break out as expected after learning of their situation.
On the contrary, they also chose to wait patiently for dawn, as if they were silently accumulating strength in the darkness to prepare for the upcoming life-and-death battle.
At the same time, they urgently contacted the headquarters, requesting reinforcements and seeking air support, attempting to turn the tide in this thrilling war.
Lu Tianhao did not wait for the arrival of dawn, but continued to bombard the enemy in front of him.
