Chapter 621: I can only defend myself, but I have no power to fight back!
"Commander, this is absolutely true!"
"Listen, the gunfire in front has stopped!" The communicator nodded quickly and answered with certainty.
"Well, it seems that the deputy commander of the Eighth Route Army has realized the danger and wants to escape!"
Uston listened to the noise outside for a while and found that the large amount of gunfire and explosions had stopped.
Sure enough, the battle was over and the enemy escaped!
"Commander, what should we do then?" the deputy asked tentatively.
"Send the order!"
"Mobilize the entire 21st Army and quickly pursue them. We must capture the deputy commander-in-chief in the shortest possible time!"
"This order is extremely urgent. Anyone who disobeys it will be subject to military law!"
After hesitating for a moment, Uston gave the order directly.
"Yes! Commander!"
The deputy agreed and quickly left the command center.
......
It is about three or four kilometers away from Phoenix Mountain.
On a broad road!
Tanks and armored vehicles formed a long dragon and were advancing forward one after another.
In a military green truck in the middle, Uston sat upright, with his deputy sitting next to him.
"Commander, according to intelligence, the deputy commander of the Eighth Route Army is currently stationed on Phoenix Mountain!"
"It seems that they want to use the rugged terrain of Phoenix Mountain to block the advance of our troops!" After a brief pause, the deputy reported.
"very good!"
"They want to block us step by step and slow down our progress into the heart of Xia Country!"
"This is an old tactic that the Xia army has always used!"
"But this trick is completely useless against tank and armored forces like ours!"
"By the way, where are the 89th and 102nd Armies of our side currently?"
"Did they catch up?"
Uston nodded first, then immediately asked.
"Return to the commander!"
"The 89th and 102nd Armies are not highly mechanized, and most of them are infantrymen. Their marching speed is slow, and they have not yet caught up!"
"Should we wait for them, and after they catch up, we can launch an attack on Phoenix Mountain together?"
The deputy asked tentatively.
"What are you waiting for them for?"
"If the 89th and 102nd Armies don't come, will I not fight?"
"Send the order!"
"Order the troops to speed up!"
"Reach Phoenix Mountain in five minutes and launch a fierce attack immediately!"
"It's time for us to win first-class honors!"
Uston waved his hand and gave a decisive order.
"Yes! Commander!"
The deputy agreed and was about to convey the order.
suddenly!
"boom!"
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a series of violent explosions were heard!
Artillery shells exploded not far from the military vehicles!
The tremendous force blew away the tanks and armored vehicles, turning them into pieces in mid-air.
I don’t know what kind of shell this is, it’s so powerful.
When these lumps of steel came in front of it, they were as weak as paper and could withstand no attack at all!
"what's the situation?"
Uston was startled and shouted loudly!
"Cannonball!"
"Enemy shells!"
The deputy looked up into the air and couldn't help but shout out, his voice filled with fear.
Uston looked in the direction of his deputy's finger.
In the air, they saw shells with long tails of flames appearing densely above their heads.
It is many times larger than ordinary artillery shells and does not look like it is fired from ordinary artillery at all.
"Go back!"
"Go back!"
Uston's expression changed slightly, and he quickly ordered the soldier driving the car to turn around and run.
"Yes! Commander!"
The soldier driving the car agreed and turned the steering wheel sharply.
The military vehicle made a dull creaking sound and suddenly sped away towards the back.
In just the blink of an eye, he had rushed dozens of meters away.
"boom!"
"Boom!"
There were sudden bursts of violent explosions from the place where they had just been.
The horrifying sound almost made the earth tremble continuously, and even a deep pit was blown out on the ground, with smoke and dust flying all over the sky.
The tanks, armored vehicles and infantry around were all overturned, and then fell rapidly from the air, turning into powder.
"What kind of shell is this?"
After the military vehicle drove to a safe area, Uston looked at everything in front of him through the telescope and screamed.
At this time, his face had turned pale.
In his opinion, even the largest caliber artillery could not have such great power.
Moreover, this kind of artillery shell is not an ordinary artillery shell at all.
"Return...back to the commander!"
"This must be the enemy's new short-range precision weapon!" The deputy next to him hesitated for a moment and said tremblingly.
"what?"
"A new type of short-range precision weapon?"
"Is it the kind of short-range new precision weapon that can destroy an army of hundreds of thousands with just a dozen shells?"
Uston's voice began to tremble, and his face was filled with fear.
"Yes Commander!"
"What should we do now?" the deputy asked hesitantly.
"Damn it, retreat quickly, the farther the better!" Uston's face turned pale and he cursed.
"Yes! Commander!" the deputy responded loudly.
Ten minutes later, Uston ordered his troops to retreat more than ten kilometers and set up a temporary command post under two large protruding rocks.
Inside the command center, Uston stared at the military map that had just been hung up in a daze.
The scene that just appeared was simply shocking. I don't know how many people are left in my army!
After all, under the attack of new short-range precision weapons, all resistance seems pale and powerless.
He could only defend himself but had no power to fight back.
Since joining the army, he had never suffered such a miserable defeat and had to flee in panic.
When he thought of this, Uston couldn't help but grit his teeth, and his face became even gloomier.
"commander!"
"We have suffered too many casualties!"
At this moment, the deputy walked in hurriedly from outside with a serious expression.
"Just tell me how many troops are left in the army?"
Uston gritted his teeth and spoke word by word.
"Return to the commander!"
"In the enemy's last round of bombardment, more than half of our troops were killed!"
"We originally had 220,000 troops, but now there are less than 80,000 left!"
"There are more than 300 tanks and armored vehicles, but only less than 100 are left!"
The deputy's face was full of bitterness and indignation.
"We actually lost more than half of our troops. The entire army has 220,000 troops, but only less than 80,000 are left?"
"There are less than a hundred tanks and armored vehicles?"
After hearing what his deputy said, Uston was so angry that he almost vomited blood, his face turned pale.
