Hearing these words, Jerold's entire body instantly froze.
He had never dreamed that the North Wing was also in the enemy's anticipation.
In this way, the 1,000 elites he had sent out were all assassinated by the other side!
He had clearly gone to attack the other side, and the elites he had sent were all the most suitable for the beheading mission, but why were they killed and injured as soon as they landed? How in the world did the enemy plan all this in advance?
Just when Jerold was in a state of extreme self-doubt, Hamid's soldiers attacked in full force!
According to Charlie wade's instructions, Hamid had already divided the entire base into five zones.
Each area, in turn, had been divided into dozens of detailed coordinate bearings based on the location of the burst point.
Therefore, after the soldiers inside the various bunkers knew which burst point had exploded according to the marked map, they immediately had a clear idea of the enemy's current location.
Immediately afterwards, Hamid dispatched eight hundred soldiers from the forward slant and the reverse slant to surround the first echelon.
At the same time, the artillery in the south flank anti-slope trench immediately rolled out twenty small mortars and aimed at the location of the north flank burst point from the hole in the south flank trench, ready to launch another round of shelling against the second echelon on the north flank.
The mortars were simple in construction, being nothing more than a long, thin barrel fixed on a tripod, and with their short range and low power they were nothing compared to the tractor guns.
However, this weapon had its advantages.
The biggest advantage was its mobility and portability, hitting and running when it came.
It was also very simple to fire, just adjust the angle, put the shell through the muzzle and it would fire instantly.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Japanese Army Lieutenant General Abe Gisu, known as the flower of famous generals, was taken away by a young artilleryman of the Eighth Route Army with a single shot from a mortar.
It is because of these advantages that this mortar has not been out of use by the army for decades.
These Hamid's artillery men knew by heart the location of each burst point on the northern flank, so adjustments were made very quickly before the shelling.
In a minute or two, these twenty mortars began a non-stop round after round of bombardment!
And the shells landed with great precision, exploding almost right in the middle of the second echelon's rallying point.
The five hundred soldiers of the Second Echelon of the Dragon Temple, who had themselves been bombed very badly, now had no time to make any adjustments at all before the dense mortar shells landed around them like hailstones.
At this point, the hills on the northern flank became a hell on earth.
After a few rounds of shelling, the battle death rate of the soldiers of the entire North Wing had already exceeded 90%.
Those who were left were all dying by now.
"Tommy! Tommy! Answer as soon as you hear me!" Jerold was about to collapse as he shouted out the name of the second echelon commander within the communication system.
But on the other end of the intercom, there was nothing but the sound of heavy gunfire.
The British commander of the second echelon, Tommy Johnson, had already been killed by the mortar shells during the first round of shelling.
Jerold could not stop his tears as he listened to the sound of mortar shells exploding over his communicator.
He knew that the second echelon was powerless, so he immediately said to the commander of the first echelon, "Onizuka, you must hold on! Don't give up! I'll have the 5,000 government soldiers launch a charge to get you back, no matter what!"
The commander of the first echelon, the Japanese Onizuka Kenta, laughed miserably and said, "Commander, don't bother, the enemy is already coming up.
