The first wave of shells landed with perfect salvos.
This was not a sporadic trial attack but a calculated surface coverage strike.
Twelve 152mm high-explosive shells hit successively within fifteen seconds, their impacts evenly distributed around the three bunkers of the base's core area.
The east side of the main building took four hits, all direct hits.
The first hit struck the load-bearing wall on the east side, causing the three-ton reinforced concrete structure to collapse inward, blocking one of the two firing slots.
One of the operators of the "Javelin" was blown away by the shockwave, hit the back wall, and his spinal cord broke instantly.
The second hit struck the middle of the roof.
The thirty-centimeter reinforcing layer was torn open like cardboard, and the explosion created an overpressure shock inside.
Six soldiers died on the spot, not from shrapnel, but because their internal organs ruptured under the instant pressure change.
