Seeing the Ming army fighter planes scurrying around like mice, Leclerc laughed.

The so-called equipment advantage of the Ming army is nothing more than this.

Suddenly, Leclerc saw a stream of similar things flying towards the French army's positions on the west bank, trailing long tail flames.

"Bazooka!" Leclerc's whole body trembled.

The lethality of this thing is really too great.

Looking at it like this, there are two to three hundred rounds of rockets packed tightly together.

This will cause a devastating blow to the troops preparing to cross the pontoon bridge.

"We need to accurately observe from the front line where the enemy's rocket launchers are, and we need to fight back."

Leclerc yelled crazily.

Those rockets did not land on the pontoon bridge. They did not bombard the troops crossing the bridge, but flew towards the anti-aircraft artillery group.

More than two hundred rockets immediately turned the anti-aircraft artillery position into a sea of ​​flames.

Because it was necessary to focus on attacking Ming army aircraft, the anti-aircraft guns were arranged very closely, with one gun being about ten meters away.

Originally, this could ensure the maximum concentration of firepower, but now it has become the best target.

Leclerc's heart immediately tightened as he saw huge smoke rising from his anti-aircraft gun position.

It’s over!

The anti-aircraft gun emplacement is finished!

The anti-aircraft artillery shipped from the United States was destroyed. That was an entire anti-aircraft artillery battalion.

This..., how can I explain this to His Majesty the Emperor?

As the smoke filled the antiaircraft artillery position, the Stukas screamed and swooped down.

This time, the only weapons on the ground that could shoot them were machine guns and rifles.

The bomb roared down, but it was not accurate and the bomb landed on the edge of the bridge.

The huge explosion raised a water column more than ten meters high. Even the mud at the bottom of the river was turned up!

Five planes dived to drop bombs, and only one shell hit the pontoon.

Broken pieces of wood flow along the Volga River along with the ice.

Without the threat of anti-aircraft artillery, Ming aircraft began to fire unscrupulously.

Here, the French rocket artillery began to retaliate with fire.

The target is obvious, that is the place with huge smoke in the distance.

At this time, it had only been six minutes since the bombardment had passed.

Leclerc looked at his watch. He believed that the Ming artillery had not escaped yet.

Even if he lost his anti-aircraft gun position, he could never let the Ming army's artillery escape.

Li Yuan squatted in the bunker, mentally greeting the colonel's eight generations of ancestors.

Heavy rockets hit one after another, and soil continued to fall from the gaps in the steel components.

Looking at those heavy square steel pieces, Li Yuan felt a little relieved. These things looked stronger than sleepers.

Since it was not the front line, everyone in the trenches retreated into bunkers, not even observation posts were left behind.

The characteristic of rocket launcher coverage shooting is that the attack is short but very violent.

After the explosion that lasted only two minutes, there was no more movement on the ground.

Each company sent out observation posts to go out and have a look!

There were large dark pits everywhere on the ground, and smoke was still coming out of most pits.

The rocket-propelled artillery vehicles that caused trouble had already traveled a kilometer away and were still running desperately into the distance.

Construction machinery vehicles run further.

It seemed like they didn't plan to come back.

The French army's intensive rocket attacks did not cause any losses to the Ming army except for damaging some ground fortifications.

"You bastard, tell all companies to avoid artillery fire.

Hurry and repair the destroyed fortifications!" Li Yuan cursed helplessly.

I just took a look and found that there were a lot of shrapnel embedded in the frozen fortifications.

Li Yuan suddenly discovered that this kind of semi-hard frozen thing was indeed relatively strong.

If you use a bunker made of soil, the shrapnel will shoot directly into the soil and you won't be able to see it at all.

But these shrapnel are embedded in the bunker. When the sun shines, they still shine.

This gave Li Yuan some confidence. After all, it was a good thing for the bunker to be stronger.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

As expected by Leclerc, the anti-aircraft artillery position was destroyed.

The entire anti-aircraft artillery battalion, not even a single cannon was left, was all destroyed by the Ming army's rockets.

Leclerc knew that Ming army planes would still fly over.

There is no better way now than to ask Napoleon for support as soon as possible.

The engineer battalion from Norway began to repair the bombed pontoon bridge.

They tied ropes to the blown sleepers, dragged them up with force, and then placed them on the bridge.

Only half an hour later, the bridge was open again.

French soldiers running across the bridge!

Leclerc was afraid of another Ming rocket attack, but after waiting for a long time, no Ming rocket was seen.

He estimated that the Ming army's rocket launcher vehicle had been destroyed by French rockets.

Being able to knock out a Ming army rocket launcher position is more or less an explanation.

Leclerc solemnly wrote down the annihilation of the Ming army's rocket launcher positions in his battle log.

The Ming army and the French army were fighting with rocket launchers.

But the Russian troops on the front line could no longer hold on.

Kutuzov strictly ordered the Russian army to capture the small high ground and drive the French army back to their positions on the west bank of the Volga River.

But after attacking for a day and night, what awaited was the French counterattack. Let alone driving the French army back to the west bank of the Volga River, it was now difficult for them to hold their positions.

After the French howitzers crossed the river, artillery observation posts were added to the small high ground.

With the observation post in place, the French howitzers fired accurately and hard. They were almost staring at the Russian army's firepower!

The Russian army has few artillery to begin with, and it also lacks observation posts.

Basically, he was in a state of being beaten, and the only option was to change places after being beaten.

Even so, after several rounds of shelling, the Russian army's howitzers were almost completely lost.

The French army even pushed the cannon directly in front of the position.

Bombard the Russian machine gun fire points!
Chapter completed!
