Chapter 969 Sad Artillery
On March 7, the Chinese Air Force carried out two bombings on the US military, causing the US troops stationed in Alpansingo to dive for more than 5,000 casualties. Such losses made General Pershing very angry.
The infantry has not launched an attack yet, and just dispatching the air force will cause the US military to lose half of the division's strength. If the infantry cooperates with the air force's attack, will the US military have to pay a greater price?
Admiral Pershing personally drafted a telegram to the Army's General Staff, asking the Army to come out as soon as possible to counter the Chinese Air Force. Otherwise, he would not be able to hold on in Mexico for too long. The US Army Chief of Staff
Leonard.
Admiral Wood knew the difficulties of General Pershing now, but he could only try his best to appease General Pershing. He told Admiral Pershing that the fighter jet had begun to be developed, but everything would take time. It was a special anti-aircraft machine gun.
Progress is very fast, and it is expected to be successfully developed at the end of the month or at the beginning of next month. Once produced, it will be sent to the Mexican frontline as soon as possible. However, General Pershing is very suspicious of whether the US military can persist in Chilpansingo.
In a month, he felt that today's bombing by the Chinese Air Force was just a test. The next battle will be even more intense. If the US military wants to defend Chilpansingo, it may have to pay a greater price.
!
The US military's defense line in Chilpansingo, in addition to the mountains on both sides of the city, is even a defense line built two kilometers west of Chilpansingo city. This defense line consists of three trenches and traffic trenches connecting these trenches.
.Each trench gathers 500 meters. The US military built many fixed firepower points on these trenches, and there is a machine gun firepower point for each twenty meters. In addition, the hidden mountain cannons and mortar positions are hidden, and the entire line of defense is
The firepower is very dense. In order to avoid Chinese artillery bombardment and bombing, solid artillery shelters and air raid shelters were also built in each trench. However, can these artillery shelters and air raid shelters resist the artillery bombardment and air raid shelters of the Chinese Army.
The bombing has not been tested by the battlefield. Admiral Pershing directly invested an army's strength on this line of defense.
On March 7th, the Chinese Army did not launch an attack on Chilpansingo. After the 11th Division of the 6th Army captured Mazatlan, it began to build a defensive position. At the same time, a large number of troops began to attack this small
The town assembled. Except for the 6th Army, the rest were all Japanese mercenaries. Chilpansingo was located in the valley, and the huge strength of the Chinese army could not be deployed. This was only with the US General Pershing
Just as the US can deploy an army of more than 50,000 on the front line, the Chinese Army can only invest at most one division's troops in every attack. If too many troops are invested, they will be completely crowded together, which will become the US Army.
intensive firepower and the targets of artillery attack.
On March 8, Marshal Zhao Bowen, the Minister of the Chinese Army and the Supreme Commander of the Mexican battlefield, officially issued an order to attack the US military on Chil Pansingo. The 6th Army of the Chinese Army got its position as it wished. They will hire Japan.
Together, the army launched an attack on the US military. At the same time, both the air force and the artillery will provide them with firepower support.
At 7 a.m., the Chinese Army's artillery positions in Mazatlan became busy. One cannon has been lifted off its cannon suit, and its hideous gun mouth pointed to the east. In order to attack Chilpansingo's
The army provided firepower support, and Marshal Zhao Bowen assembled all artillery from the 2nd Army, the 6th Army, the 7th Army and the subsequent ten infantry divisions. Thousands of cannons with a caliber of more than 105 mm were deployed to dozens of them.
After the order was issued on the artillery position, it would open fire violently on the US military's position. At the same time, in order to prevent the US artillery from counterattacking, the Air Force's fighter jets have also set off from the field airport in Acapulco. As long as the US artillery dares to emerge,
The Air Force's fighter jets would roar over and blow up all the American artillery and people and artillery!
At 7:30 in the morning, the Chinese artillery received an order to start shelling.
Two minutes later, the dense shelling sounded, and the sound of explosions like the earth shaking, at least on the positions on the front line of Chilpansingo. Balls of orange-red fireballs rose on the US positions, and the US troops pulled them.
The barbed wire on it was blown up in the artillery fire, and many trenches were also blown up. The US soldiers on the position hid in the anti-aircraft shelter and air raid shelter as soon as possible, holding their heads and opening their mouths wide.
·After suffering hard.
When the Chinese Army's artillery began to shell the gun, General Pershing was having breakfast. But after the heavy explosion sounded, General Pershing stuffed the bread in his hand into his mouth in a few bites, grabbed the telescope and rushed out of the command center.
"Order the artillery, fight back! Counterattack! Kill all the Chinese cannons!" General Pershing roared loudly.
In less than ten minutes, the US artillery responded. Compared with the thousands of cannons of the Chinese Army, the US military had more artillery, almost twice that of the Chinese Army. However, their mass was slightly smaller.
It was just a little bit worse. But this did not affect their counterattack!
After the US artillery began to counterattack, overwhelming artillery shells flew towards the Chinese Army's artillery positions. Although most of the artillery shells did not hit the target, some artillery positions were still hit, causing a lot of personnel and artillery.
Loss of
"The American artillery has appeared and I give the Air Force an order. It's time for them to come on the field!" General Gao Chang, commander of the 6th Army of the Chinese Army, ordered. Marshal Zhao Bowen stayed in Tira Colorada and did not go to Mazatlan.
.All the troops on the front line are commanded by General Gao Chang.
"Haha! Well done, that's it! Destroy all the Chinese artillery and let them see how powerful American artillery is! Fighting with cannons, how could the Chinese be our opponent!" General Pershing looked at the Chinese Army artillery
The positions were constantly hit, and huge orange-red fireballs rose into the air, and I was very happy. Although the United States is not China's opponent in new weapons, but in weapons such as artillery, which are not very technical, the United States
With its strong industrial strength, it can easily surpass China. The United States can even easily equip the army with more than 105 mm cannons owned by the US military, which have no fewer caliber than the Chinese Army that attaches importance to artillery.
However, soon the smile on General Persing's face disappeared. In the sky to the west, small black dots appeared, as light as if swallows were flying in the air. But in Persing
The Admiral's view is that these things are evil, just like the devil of hell.
"Damn it, the Chinese plane has appeared. Order the troops are ready for air defense!" General Pershing ordered. However, his order was still too late. The Chinese Air Force fighter planes in the sky and howling towards him.
The US artillery positions rushed over.
FB'Haidongqing, fighter jets are the fastest and are the first to come. These fighter jets hover in the sky, and immediately circle down after determining the target, launching an attack on the US artillery position. The aircraft machine gun on the nose fired violently,
The US artillery that was operating artillery was smashed into two pieces. At the same time, the air bombs mounted under the wings were also dropped on these US artillery positions. When the fighter planes flew over, the US artillery positions had become a sea of fire.
Soon, the subsequent HB's Hongyan, bomber, FH5's Falcon, and dive bombers also arrived on the battlefield. The heavy aviation bombs they carried were a real disaster for the US artillery. FB's Haidongqing,
The aviation bombs carried by the fighter are only 25 kilograms, and their power is not great, and the casualties caused to the US artillery are very limited. However, HB's Hongyan, the four 250 kilogram aviation bombs and FH5's Falcon carried by the bomber, dives
The bomber carried a 500-kilogram aviation bomb with an astonishing power. After the US artillery position was hit, the bomb exploded and it was enough to destroy all people and artillery within a radius of more than ten or twenty meters.
"Damn it! Order the artillery to stop the artillery immediately and move quickly!" General Pershing was so angry that he trembled all over. He understood that the Chinese air force was waiting for their artillery. Without air supremacy, the US artillery only needs to be
If you take action, it will become the target of Chinese Air Force bombing. Without the firepower support of artillery, it is even more impossible for the front-line troops to withstand the attack of the Chinese army.
The US artillery suffered heavy losses during the bombing of the Chinese Air Force. More than 200 artillery pieces were destroyed, and the artillery losses were as high as 1,000 people. This was the US artillery’s emergency transfer, and the Chinese Air Force’s fighter jets also consumed the aviation bombs.
Reason. Otherwise, the US artillery troops would pay a greater price.
The US artillery was silent, and the Chinese Army cheered. During the US artillery counterattack, the Chinese artillery suffered not much loss, only more than a dozen cannons were destroyed, and only dozens of casualties were killed or injured. The most important thing is
After the US military's artillery did not dare to fire, the Chinese artillery was able to ravage the US military's front line without restraint. The shells were smashed into the US military's front line positions as if they were not worth money, blowing up the fortifications that the US military had worked hard to build.
.
After the Chinese Air Force's fighter planes flew away, the US military was willing to let the artillery fire again. However, the next batch of fighter planes flew to the head again. Although they were all fighter planes, the US military had become a frightened bird. Fearing that the artillery lost too much, Pan Xing
