The massive and continuous shelling, which lasted for over half an hour, finally came to an end.
Such shelling couldn't go on indefinitely, as there simply was not enough ammunition, and the gun barrels couldn't withstand it either.
The large-scale artillery fire had concluded, but it was still not entirely safe outside, as it was now time for tanks and armored vehicles to make their appearance.
Gao Yang checked his watch; it was approaching five in the afternoon. In a short while, it would be dark. If they were to leave, it might be better to wait until after nightfall, as they all had night vision devices, and moving at night would be safer.
With the large-scale shelling over, there was no longer any need to stay in the cramped, crowded basement where breathing became difficult.
"Injured and non-combat personnel stay below; everyone else, head up."
