"Haha! Very good! General Oshima, it's great if you have this confidence! Don't worry, my 6th Army will act as your reserve. If the US military really launches an attack tonight, we will definitely
Let them go without any return!" General Gao Chang, commander of the 6th Group Army, said with a smile. If the US military does not launch a night attack tonight
That's okay, but once the Americans really want to launch a night attack, the offensive will definitely be quite fierce, and the Japanese mercenaries stationed on the front line of defense will definitely suffer heavy casualties. Although this is a bit unkind, it is better than doing it yourself.
It's good that the soldiers suffered heavy losses. Anyway, the Japanese are used to being lackeys. This must be their fate in the future!
"General, don't worry, we will definitely defend our position. However, general, I hope the general can provide us with some help." General Oshima Yoshimasa said. He knew that he could not refuse General Gao Chang's request, he could only accept it.
At the same time, I also know that the Japanese mercenaries may suffer heavy losses in tonight's battle.
"What kind of help? General, don't worry, I can do it and I won't delay it!" General Gao Chang said.
"General, I hope the general can give us a special batch of heavy machine guns and mortars. In this way, when the Americans attack, we can teach them a lesson!" General Oshima Yoshimasa said.
"That's it! No problem. I can dispatch thirty heavy machine guns and thirty mortars to you. In addition, once the battle really breaks out tonight, our main artillery will also provide you with fire support!
"Admiral Gao Chang said.
"Thank you, General!" General Oshima Yoshimasa quickly bowed to express his gratitude.
On the evening of March 18, after the sun went down, the units under the Chinese Army's 6th Group Army quietly withdrew from the captured US defense line, while several Japanese mercenary divisions entered the position and took over the defense line. In order
Hold the position, Japanese mercenary commander General Oshima Yoshimasa also
After spending a lot of money, four divisions of Japanese mercenaries entered the two lines of defense. Twenty thousand Japanese mercenary soldiers were deployed on each line of defense. In addition, there were four divisions of Japanese mercenaries.
As a reserve team, if the battle situation on the frontline becomes urgent, they will rush to reinforce the troops as soon as possible.
Aid. General Oshima Yoshimasa believes that efforts and rewards are directly proportional. If Japanese mercenaries want to obtain a higher status and more benefits, then they must prove their abilities on the battlefield. Especially Gao Chang
The general proposed that after defeating the United States in the future, Japanese mercenaries can serve as garrison troops
It is a huge benefit for American troops to stay in the United States. Therefore, he must fulfill the requirements made by General Gao Chang. Although General Gao Chang may not be able to decide whether Japanese mercenaries can become troops stationed in the United States, he
It is very easy to prevent Japanese mercenaries from becoming troops stationed in the United States.
After several Japanese mercenary divisions entered the position, they immediately began to strengthen the position, build artillery facilities, etc. Although, in a short period of time, they were unable to repair the already damaged position, but now they are repairing a little more, and in
Their chances of survival will also be higher during the battle. Although the Japanese are not afraid of death, they are not willing to give up their lives casually.
The U.S. military also began to take action. General Pershing had great confidence in this attack. Moreover, the U.S. military's combat goal this time was also very simple. It was not to regain the position, but to give it to the Chinese.
Enough kills to win a victory. Although...compared to this
For a battle in which both sides gathered millions of troops, this victory may be insignificant. But for the US military with low morale now, it is enough. A victory can encourage these US soldiers·
This greatly enhances their fighting will.
"General, the artillery unit has begun preparations. The attack will be launched in an hour!" Lieutenant General Davis reported. He was also a little excited. During this period, they have been suppressed by the Chinese army.
A lot of troops were lost.
This time I was finally able to regain some ground.
Admiral Pershing looked at his watch and said: "Wait a minute! It's only ten o'clock in the evening. Wait until 1 o'clock in the morning to launch the attack. By that time, the Chinese will lose their alertness due to fatigue, and our chances will be greater!"
"Yes, General!" Lieutenant General Davis nodded.
"Have the infantry units been assembled? In order not to give the Chinese time to react, the artillery bombardment only lasts twenty minutes. After the bombardment is over, they will launch an attack immediately!" General Pershing said.
"Don't worry, General! It's ready. The 36th Army has withdrawn from the front line. The 37th Army has entered the position. After the attack begins, they will send all their troops to attack the Chinese. In addition, the 38th Army
They are also ready for battle. Once the 37th Army's attack is frustrated, they will immediately join the battle to ensure that they break through the Chinese defense lines and kill the Chinese to the maximum extent!" Dai
Lieutenant General Weiss said. For tonight's night attack, the US military has prepared two very expensive troops, with more than 100,000 people. You know, according to the intelligence obtained by the US military, the Chinese army is on the two front lines of defense.
At most, only 30,000 to 40,000 troops were deployed. Without artillery superiority and air support, and fighting at night, it would be almost impossible for this army to withstand the attack of 100,000 US troops.
"Order the 39th Army to also prepare." General Pershing said.
"39th Army? General, isn't it enough for us to invest 100,000 men?" Lieutenant General Davis asked with some confusion.
"Be prepared!" General Pershing said. In order to win tonight's night attack, he must be fully prepared. Even if it means sacrificing the lives of more American soldiers in exchange for victory, as long as he can defeat the Chinese
, that’s all worth it.
Seeing General Pershing's persistence, Lieutenant General Davis could not say anything else. After all, General Pershing was the top commander of the U.S. military in Mexico. However, he still had some doubts in his heart, so he needed to prepare three times.
An army of 150,000 people?
Time passed slowly, and soon it was one o'clock in the morning. The moon had hidden among the thick clouds, and the ground was dark.
"Start the attack!" General Pershing gave the order to attack at one o'clock in the morning.
Suddenly, the U.S. military's position began to boil. Thousands of cannons with a diameter of more than 105 mm began to roar, and orange-red flames shone at the muzzles, as if they were setting off fireworks. There was a dense sound in the sky.
The screams made people feel numb after listening to them. After more than ten seconds, the two defense lines defended by Japanese mercenaries burst into flames. Dense artillery shells exploded on the defense lines, shining brightly.
The fire looked so bright in the dark night.
"Shell! Hurry up and take cover!" The Japanese mercenary officers and soldiers reacted the moment the US bombardment just started. They had been notified before that the US military might launch a night attack, so everyone did not rest all night.
They were all waiting for the US military's surprise attack with red eyes. No one wanted to be killed by the US military in their sleep.
A large number of Japanese mercenary soldiers have retreated to the bottom of the trenches, or they can hide in the newly dug foxholes. The anti-gun holes and other facilities originally built by the US military have long been destroyed by the shelling of the Chinese Army and the bombing of the Air Force.
.Japanese mercenaries will not be able to destroy these in a short period of time.
facilities were built, so only some simple anti-artillery facilities could be built. However, the defense capabilities of these proposed anti-artillery facilities were indeed very poor. During the intensive shelling by the US military, shells continued to fall into the trenches, exploding
The Japanese mercenary soldiers hiding inside were bloody and bloody.
In the frontline headquarters in Mazatlan, General Gao Chang, the commander of the Chinese Army's 6th Group Army, has not been resting. Staying up late is a common occurrence for senior military commanders. However, he also has some doubts.
Will the US military launch an attack tonight?
When the dense explosions sounded, General Gao Chang stood up from his chair with a loud noise, grabbed his telescope and rushed out of the command post.
"The Americans have launched an attack! Order the artillery and prepare to counterattack!" General Gao Chang ordered. Thousands of heavy artillery pieces of the Chinese Army were already ready for battle. As soon as General Gao Chang's order was given, the attack started immediately
launched a counterattack. Dense artillery shells fell on the US military position. At the same time, those 155mm heavy howitzers and 155mm heavy cannons also regarded the US artillery as the target of counterattack. However, in the dark, the effect of their counterattack
It's just not very good.
"Damn it, the Chinese have been prepared for a long time. They expected that we would attack at night!" The smile on General Pershing's face suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"General, what should we do now? Do we want to continue?" Lieutenant General Davis asked
"Continue!" General Pershing said coldly. Since the surprise attack fails, let's attack by force. Anyway, the Chinese air force cannot participate in the battle at night, which gives the US military a great opportunity.
In General Pershing's view, even if the Chinese army is prepared, it may not be able to withstand the attack of the superior strength of the US military. Another reason is that he does not want this plan to be abandoned halfway. If the plan is aborted
If so, it will undoubtedly affect the morale of the US military again.
The U.S. military's shelling ended in only twenty minutes. After the bombardment, two infantry divisions of the U.S. 37th Army jumped out from their frontline positions and rushed toward the positions occupied by the Chinese army. The U.S. military positions and the positions occupied by the Chinese army,
They are only 500 meters apart. For an adult soldier, it only takes a few minutes to rush over.
