The cold night seemed to have covered the ground with a thick layer of frost. However, the brothers of the 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment were furious.| Hot. To be able to take down the Twin Dragon Mount was truly an actual combat drill. The Twin Dragon Mount was still a terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. If it was really daytime, the 300 soldiers of the first battalion might not be able to take down the Twin Dragon Mount. However, this was a night attack, a sneak attack that the Twin Dragon Mount would not know about!
Not far away, there should be the light of a torch. There was only one entrance to the Twin Dragon Mount, and Lin Xueze's battle plan was to block this passage and set fire to the stronghold of the Twin Dragon Mount. Then, he would force the bandits to go down the mountain through this passage. Lin Xueze, who was waiting for the rabbit, would set up two Maxim's and shoot at these bandits. At that time, the flood of metal bullets would form a fan-shaped vacuum!
"Regiment commander, we are ready. According to the firing range of our mortars, we should be able to hit the stronghold with the incendiary bomb from this position!!”
In order to capture Twin Dragon Mountain, Lin Xue had exchanged 20 incendiary bombs from the Red Alert base. Although the caliber was not large, the burning effect was definitely beyond everyone's imagination!
The importance of the mortars came with the end of World War I. Because of the widespread use of this extremely light and curved individual weapon by the German army, mortars became the darling of small troops in combat!
"Alright, prepare to load the incendiary bombs!!”
The two skilled mortar gunners smoothly loaded the small-caliber incendiary bombs!
A 40mm caliber mortar was enough for a single soldier to operate, unlike some large mortars with a caliber of 80mm, which required two to three people to operate!
The two cannoneers were using their thumbs to calculate the firing distance and the angle to adjust the barrel. Since it was an incendiary bomb, the angle to adjust was different from a normal explosive bomb!
"If I can fire the Twin Dragon Mountain with one shot, I wonder if those bastards will cry out in pain!!!”
This was a relatively flat hill. There was only one such area in the entire Twin Dragon Mount. Lin Xue had also placed his ambush position here, including two 40mm mortars and two Maxim heavy machine guns. If the bandits on the Twin Dragon Mount really ran down the mountain path, what awaited them would only be corpses!
Just like the Battle of Verdun in World War I, reality had already proven that in the crossfire zone formed by barbed wire, trenches, and heavy machine guns, the charge of infantry and cavalry was equivalent to sending themselves to their deaths. There was no possibility of breaking through!
The cold wind rustled, and the sound of the leaves blowing was even deeper into the night.| It became even more ear-piercing!
Suddenly, Lin Xue gave the order to fire!!
After the two mortar gunners ignited the gunpowder, a huge boom sounded inside the barrel. The terrifying counter-thrust force made the incendiary bombs carry enormous kinetic energy. In the dark night sky, the two shells with long orange flames were like fireworks that were shot into the sky. However, this kind of fireworks could kill!!!
"Captain, if our regiment were to equip a hundred or eighty of these items, our independent regiment would probably be unrivaled in the world!!”
Zhou Tao's thoughts were the same as all the soldiers 'thoughts. It seemed that it was not too difficult to operate it. Unfortunately, this kind of thinking was unrealistic. The art of war definitely did not rely solely on mortars. Infantry and artillery were indispensable!!
Of course, Zhou Tao was only joking!
It was as if the flying mortar shell drew a parabola in the air. Then, the gravitational potential energy was converted into kinetic energy, and it continued to accelerate. The shell that shot in a curved line could ignore the obstacles in front of it. This was the greatest effect of the mortar!
Then, with two loud explosions, they exploded just as they were about to fall. The flames caused by the incendiary bombs allowed everyone to see two fireballs in front of them, burning fiercely!
In the Twin Dragon Mountain village, a huge commotion seemed to cause the entire world to collapse. The mountain rocks shook, and the forest collapsed. Not far away, the entire mountain top seemed to be shaking, and even swaying!
Shi Long, Zhong Ren, and Zhu Sheng looked at each other in confusion. Could it be that there was an earthquake…
However, before the three of them could think about it, a few consecutive voices became rumbling again!!
"It's not an earthquake, it's a cannon!!”
Zhong Ren suddenly opened his mouth wide and shouted. The first two incendiary bombs were a little off, but after the re-calculation of the trajectory of the shells, they finally hit the center. The two incendiary bombs exploded on the top of the stone dragon's head!!
The two mortars fired five incendiary bombs in a row at high speed. The sound of the cannons seemed to make the entire sky noisy!
The huge flames were like a waterfall as they poured down from above. The thick flames were like a flood as they poured into the village. The rapidly rising temperature of the flames raised the temperature of the world by a lot!
The burning men lost all their rationality. The pain of the flames burning on their bodies was like thousands of arrows piercing through their hearts. Their skin was burning, and their flesh was being roasted. The sizzling sound seemed to be torturing the nerves deep in their brains!
The stone dragon's eyes were scarlet. It was unknown whether it was because of the intense flames, or because it was dyed red by blood, or because it felt sorry for its brothers!
"Run! Everyone, retreat from the village and go down the mountain at full speed!!!”
Shi Long, who had a ferocious expression on his face, had never felt so desperate before. The Twin Dragon Mount's base camp was actually set ablaze. Even now, he still did not know who did it!!!
