The first thousand one hundred and forty chapters blood flow into a river
"The Chinese are starting to cross the river! Open fire and kill all those Chinese! From the US defense line, the shouts of the US frontline commanders came. A large number of US soldiers filed out of the artillery holes.
, entered the position. The US military's anti-gun caves were relatively strong this time. Except for a few that were blown down, the rest were still intact.
"Da da da! Boom! Boom! Boom!" On the US military position, light machine guns, mortars and mountain artillery began to shoot into the river. The dense bullets splashed on the river, while the artillery shells splashed on the river.
If it explodes inside, it will splash up clouds of water.
After the US military began to attack, the mortars and infantry artillery that had been prepared on the Chinese army's position south of the Rio Grande also opened fire one after another, throwing the shells onto the US military's defense line regardless of the cost to provide comrades who were crossing the river.
Fire support.
"Click, click, click!" The light and heavy machine guns of the Army's 231st Regiment also opened fire, and the dense bullets began to suppress the U.S. troops on the other side of the river. When the troops were crossing the river, they were unable to dodge in time, as if they were living targets in front of the Americans.
, is also the most vulnerable to attack.
"Boom!" A small boat was hit by a mountain artillery shell. The fragile disembarkation boat was torn apart in the explosion. The twelve Chinese soldiers on board suffered heavy casualties and all sank into the river. The autumn river water was freezing and biting, and no one was hit.
The soldiers who were killed in the explosion struggled desperately to get rid of the equipment they were carrying. However, the heavy equipment was not easy to untie. They were unable to float in the water and eventually sank to the bottom of the river.
"Tap!" A row of bullets shot past, and a small boat was hit. Two Chinese soldiers were shot in the chest. Blood poured out of their bodies, flowing into the boat and into the river.
Although the Chinese army launched fire suppression against the US military, the fierce shooting by the US military still caused great losses to the 1st Battalion of the 231st Regiment that was crossing the river. Many small boats were hit and capsized in the river.
It is simply impossible for soldiers without equipment to swim across the river. The equipment carried on their backs will drag them directly to the bottom of the river.
"Buzz buzz!" A sound like a large swarm of wasps was heard in the sky. The Air Force fighter planes finally arrived in time. Because before the Army began to cross the river, the location of the river crossing had to be kept secret. Therefore, the Air Force fighter planes were already in the cross-river offensive.
He only flew to the battlefield after the start.
"Jie Jie!" FH5'Falcon, the dive bomber started the attack first. Amidst the shrill roar that seemed to burst people's eardrums, they dropped aerial bombs weighing 500 kilograms into the US trenches.
Inside.
"Boom!" The aerial bomb exploded, forming a huge fireball with a diameter of more than ten meters. Everything inside was swallowed up by the fireball. All the American soldiers affected were killed, and all their equipment was destroyed.
destroy.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The HB Hongyan bombers of the Air Force also began to drop bombs on the heads of the US troops in small groups. These "Hongyan bombers" all carried aerial bombs weighing 50 kilograms.
Such aerial bombs are enough to deal with infantry. As a large number of aerial bombs were dropped on the US military position, the entire position turned into a sea of fire. The US military suffered heavy casualties under the attack of the Chinese Air Force. On the river was facing
The attack by the Chinese army crossing the river was also greatly affected.
"Shoot! Shoot down the Chinese planes!" After the Chinese Air Force's bombing began, the air defense forces on the US defense line also began to use anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns to attack the fighter planes in the air. Dense tracer bullets formed lines of fire in the air.
However, these fire nets seem to be very dense, but in fact they are very sparse. The Chinese Air Force fighter planes are like light birds, passing through the fire nets.
"Da da da!" After the U.S. air defense force began to attack the Chinese Air Force in the sky, Haidongqing fighter jets began to attack these air defense positions. The fighter jets quickly passed by the U.S. air defense positions and flew in the air.
During the machine gun fire, several US military taxis
The soldiers were already lying in a pool of blood. Those FH5' Falcons and dive bombers also seemed to regard these US air defense positions as attack targets. Facing the infantry who did not pose any threat, it was easier for them to attack these threatening air defenses.
Soldier, it seems this is more challenging.
"Jie Jie!" Amidst the screams of Falcon and dive bombers, aerial bombs weighing 500 kilograms have been thrown on the US military's air defense positions. Often, only one heavy aerial bomb can destroy a US military's air defense position.
Several boats were destroyed by anti-aircraft machine guns or anti-aircraft guns.
The U.S. military's positions suffered heavy losses under the willful attacks of the Chinese Air Force. At this time
The surviving officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 231st Regiment of the Chinese Army also took the opportunity to board the sandbar in the center of the river. And began to use the weapons they carried on the sandbar! Light and heavy machine guns and mortars were fired at the US military.!
The sandbank is not large and the terrain is flat. It cannot provide any protection to the Chinese soldiers who board the sandbank. The soldiers lie on the ground and use their weapons to fight the US troops hiding in trenches or fire points. Naturally, they will suffer more.
a little
From time to time, soldiers were shot and died, but everyone gritted their teeth and persisted. Fortunately, with the support of artillery from the rear, and the support of fighter planes in the air, the firepower of the US military was suppressed very seriously. Otherwise, they would not have been able to fight at all.
Unable to stand on the sandbank.
"General, the Chinese have begun to cross the river! The place they chose to cross the river is exactly the section of the river ten kilometers south of Laredo. Now, they are moving towards the sandbar in the center of the river, and our troops are attacking them!" The Chinese army began
After crossing the river, Admiral Davis received the relevant news as soon as possible and quickly reported it to Admiral Pershing.
"Can we stop the Chinese?" General Pershing asked anxiously.
"General, the Chinese are currently using a large amount of air force to bomb our positions, and our losses are somewhat heavy. However, we have also caused great casualties to the Chinese who are crossing the river!" Admiral Davis said quickly.
"Order the artillery to open fire! Crush the Chinese attack!" General Pershing hesitated for a moment, then said.
"Yes, General!" General Davis nodded and immediately went out to make arrangements. He knew what General Pershing was hesitating about. When the Chinese violently bombarded the U.S. defense line before, the U.S. artillerymen were on duty.
It's not that the U.S. military doesn't dare to start an artillery battle with the Chinese artillery, but it's because it's worried that once the artillery is fired, it will
Attracting the attention of the Chinese Air Force. With the loss of all Army Air Force fighter jets, the U.S. military is simply unable to resist threats from the air. But now, in order to prevent the Chinese from having the opportunity to board the north bank of the Rio Grande, even if they know how to use
The artillery will be hit by the Chinese air force, but they don't care about that much.
About five kilometers away from the Rio Grande, in the woods, there is a heavy artillery regiment of the U.S. Army. This regiment is equipped with 60 heavy artillery pieces with a caliber exceeding 105 mm, 12 of which are 155 mm heavy howitzers.
"Prepare each artillery position. Ten rounds of rapid fire!" After receiving the order from General Davis, the artillery regiment immediately took action. Their artillery had already entered the artillery position near the woods, and according to the previous
The marked shooting elements were adjusted and the bombardment direction was adjusted. However, in order to reduce losses, they would fire ten shells as quickly as possible and then hide in the woods to avoid being bombed by the Chinese Air Force.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Amidst the bursts of low shelling, sixty US heavy artillery began to fire at the sandbar in the center of the Rio Grande. For these heavy artillery, it only took ten minutes to fire ten shells.
It only takes time. Then it will take less than twenty minutes to retreat into the woods. However, this period of time is still very dangerous. Once the Chinese Air Force discovers their target, they will be severely punished.
What a blow!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" A sharp whistle came from the air. Many officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the Army's 231st Regiment, who had already boarded the sandbar in the center of the Rio Grande River, changed their faces greatly. After hearing this, they experienced
They concluded that this was the sound of US heavy artillery. They simply could not imagine the consequences of being bombarded by US heavy artillery on a flat, completely unobstructed sandbank!
"Hide! Disperse! American artillery fire!" the officers and veterans shouted loudly, and took the lead in dispersing in all directions. However, some of the new recruits who had just been added to the army had not yet figured out what was going on.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" A violent explosion sounded on the sandbank. The US heavy artillery shells exploded on the sandbank, erupting into clusters of orange-red fireballs. The powerful heavy artillery shells left behind individual shells on the sandbank.
There was a huge crater. Shrapnel scattered everywhere, killing Chinese soldiers wantonly. Some shells fell into the river and exploded, causing water columns to rise to the sky.
"What a fool! Ask the heavy artillery troops to fight back!" the leader of the 231st regiment shouted loudly with tears in his eyes.
Although he didn't know what the situation was like on the sandbank, he knew that his 1st Battalion must have suffered heavy losses.
The Chinese Air Force aircraft circling in the sky also discovered this situation. HB of a squadron
'Hongyan' bombers and a squadron of FU5' Falcons and dive bombers, protected by more than a dozen FB' Haidongqing fighter jets, quickly flew north in an attempt to find the US artillery positions and destroy them. Otherwise
If so, the Chinese soldiers on the sandbank will bleed into rivers under the U.S. bombardment and suffer extensive casualties!
