Chapter 866: Let the Japanese become rats
Three days passed silently over the battlefield like fine sand flowing through fingertips, leaving behind a seemingly calm but turbulent scene. During these three days, the Chinese army seemed to have sunk into the deep sea, without causing any waves or launching any offensives. The entire front was shrouded in an unusual tranquility.
This kind of tranquility makes people involuntarily think of the depression and tension before the storm. The air is filled with a feeling of impending storm.
The Fuso army, defending the dangerous place, was also extremely cautious in this tranquility. They chose to keep their troops in place and did not dare to easily start a war. The two sides were deadlocked in a delicate balance, as if two beasts were about to fight to the death, silently accumulating strength and waiting for the opportunity to strike a fatal blow.
At the same time, the three missile launch bases of the 714th Missile Division were busy and orderly. These three bases, like three steel fortresses, stood on the edge of the battlefield, silently proclaiming China's powerful long-range strike capability.
Heavy trucks drove into the base one after another, carrying those huge and heavy V2 rockets, like giant dragons shuttling back and forth.
The soldiers worked intensely and efficiently. They carried rockets, checked equipment, and debugged systems. Every detail mattered.
As the trucks left, the number of V2 rockets in the ammunition depot continued to increase. They lay there quietly, waiting for the moment to be given a mission.
Inside the headquarters, Liu Chengxu stood in front of a huge battle map, his eyes fixed on the Fusang Empire's defensive positions, with a clear strategic deployment in mind. He picked up the phone on the table and dialed Wang Tianming's number with his fingers skillfully.
"Wang Tianming, it's me, Liu Chengxu." Liu Chengxu's voice was low, revealing an unquestionable majesty.
"Commander Liu, please give me instructions!" Wang Tianming immediately stood up straight, waiting for orders with full concentration.
"Wang Tianming, listen carefully. From now on, I want you to command the No. 1-3 missile base to carry out uninterrupted and indiscriminate long-range fire coverage on Fuso's defensive positions. I want all Fuso troops, no matter how deep they hide in the underground fortifications, to be like ground rats and dare not show their heads. At the same time, I want you to completely destroy their ground air defense units to ensure that our air strikes are unimpeded."
"Yes, Commander Liu! I understand what you mean. I will complete the mission!" Wang Tianming did not hesitate at all. He knew the importance of this battle and the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Tianming immediately got busy. He picked up another phone and began to contact the heads of missile bases 1-3 one by one. On the other end of the phone, each head said that they were fully prepared and only needed to give the order to let the V2 rockets pour down like a rainstorm.
"Base No. 1, this is the headquarters. Please confirm that all launch equipment is in optimal condition. Are the loading and inspection of the V2 rocket completed?" Wang Tianming's voice was clearly transmitted to every base through radio waves.
"Base No. 1 received the message. All equipment is ready. The V2 rocket has been loaded and the final system check is underway." The base manager responded quickly.
"Very good, continue to stay highly vigilant and wait for further instructions." Wang Tianming nodded with satisfaction, and then dialed the number of Base No. 2 again.
The same conversation was repeated between the three bases. Wang Tianming used his calm and powerful voice to accurately convey Liu Chengxu's orders to every executor.
The success or failure of this long-range fire coverage operation will directly affect the direction of the entire war.
As time went by, the launch of the V2 rocket entered the final stage of preparation.
In the No. 1-3 missile base, soldiers were busy and orderly moving between various posts, checking every detail to ensure that nothing went wrong.
When the last round of inspections was completed and all equipment was confirmed to be correct, Wang Tianming stood in front of the window of the headquarters, looking at the sky in the distance that was about to be engulfed by the sea of fire, his heart filled with the belief that they would win. They would surely win this battle.
Wang Tianming stood in front of the communication desk at the headquarters, his eyes sharp, his fingers tightly gripping the telephone receiver. He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then dialed the emergency communication channels of the three missile bases one by one.
"Base No. 1, this is the headquarters, Wang Tianming." His voice was transmitted clearly and powerfully through the radio waves to the distance.
"Base No. 1 received, please give instructions, Division Commander!"
"The final inspection phase has been completed. Now please confirm that all V2 rockets are ready for loading and ensure that the ammunition is correct." Wang Tianming spoke slowly, but every word was powerful.
"Confirmed, all V1 rockets at Base No. 2 have been loaded and are awaiting the order to fire," the person in charge responded quickly.
Wang Tianming nodded.
"Very good, now enter the countdown. In five minutes, I will give the order to open fire. Please ensure that all safety procedures have been activated and personnel have been evacuated to a safe area."
"Understood. Base 1 has entered final readiness status. All safety procedures have been activated and personnel have been evacuated."
Then, Wang Tianming dialed the communication channel of Base No. 2 and repeated the same instructions and confirmation process. Then, it was Base No. 3, and he also confirmed one by one.
As the heads of the three bases reported that they were ready, Wang Tianming's heartbeat accelerated. He looked up at the clock on the wall, the second hand kept ticking, as if counting down the moment of fate.
"Attention, all bases. Now is the last thirty seconds." Wang Tianming's voice was transmitted to the three missile bases simultaneously through the communication network, "Thirty, twenty-nine... ten, nine, eight..."
In this tense and almost suffocating silence, every second seemed to pass very slowly. Finally, Wang Tianming's voice rang out again, firmly and forcefully: "Fire!"
Almost at the same time, a huge roar suddenly sounded in the three missile bases. The V2 rockets were like angry dragons, spewing flames, cutting through the night sky and heading straight for Fuso's defensive positions.
Under the cover of night, nine V2 rockets took off into the sky. Their trajectories that streaked across the sky were like meteors, and they roared towards Fuso's defense positions with destructive power.
They quickly closed the distance to the target at supersonic speed.
At the same time, in Fuso's underground command center, Chuichi Nagumo's face was solemn, his eyes fixed on the radar screen in front of him.
On the screen, the trajectories of the nine rockets were clearly visible, and they were approaching their own defense line.
Chuichi Nanyun knew very well that this was a life-and-death battle and he had to react as quickly as possible.
"Air defense forces, enter combat status immediately! Intercept those rockets at all costs!" Nagumo Chuichi's voice was transmitted rapidly and forcefully to various air defense units through communication equipment.
There was a barely perceptible hint of anxiety in his voice.
