The first thousand one hundred and forty-two chapters drive the Chinese into the river
Several Chinese soldiers jumped out of the boat, stepped on the soft sand, and rushed to the river bank. However, as soon as they took a few steps out, they were hit by bullets. Several people fell to the ground, and blood flowed from them.
The water flowed out from his body, dyeing the sand beneath him red.
"Da da da! Boom! Boom! Boom!" When the Chinese troops on the south bank of the Rio Grande saw that their comrades had arrived on the north bank of the Rio Grande, they desperately poured firepower on the US military positions in order to be able to
The landing comrades provided the best fire support. They tried to suppress the US military so that the comrades could successfully land at the minimum cost.
"Jie Jie!" Several FH5' Falcons and dive bombers began a dive attack. With a scream that could almost pierce a person's eardrum, several aerial bombs weighing 500 kilograms were dropped on the US military position.
Above. The bomb exploded, forming a huge fireball, covering a long section of the US military's defense line.
Destroyed. The US anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns quickly fired at these dive bombers. However, after dropping the bombs, these dive bombers became much lighter. They quickly pulled up, rushed into the sky, and then returned south. They had already dropped
After finishing the bomb, they need to return to the airport to replenish fuel and replenish ammunition.
More and more small boats are approaching the north bank of the Rio Grande River, and more and more Chinese troops are stepping onto the beach on the north bank of the Rio Grande River despite the bullets whizzing above their heads.
The shells flew by, and shells exploded around them. If they were not careful, they would be killed. But everyone was already charging forward. They knew that if they were suppressed on the beach, they would be in greater danger.
"The first company attacks from the left, the second company attacks from the right. The third company breaks through from the middle. The artillery platoon adds up the cannons and kills those naughty Americans!" The battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 231st Regiment of the Chinese Army lay on the beach.
The order was issued. There were more than a thousand people in the battalion, but only a few dozen died while crossing the river. The rest successfully boarded the grid.
The north bank of the Rio Grande. However, reaching the north bank of the Rio Grande does not mean victory. The real battle has just begun. Facing the solid defense line of the US military, a thousand troops are nothing at all. They only
They are just the leading troops. Behind them, the 232nd Regiment of the 23rd Division of the Chinese Army has begun to board the ship.
"Boom! Boom!" Two infantry guns and two heavy howitzers from the 3rd Battalion of the 231st Regiment have been unloaded from the ship. They were set up immediately and began to fire at the US military positions to provide fire support for the attacking troops.
The three infantry companies below began to attack the US military positions. However, the US military's firepower was still very powerful. They were suppressed on the beach and could only rely on the weapons in their hands to shoot at the US military. But
, which is very dangerous for the Chinese army.
"Division Commander, the Chinese have come ashore! Thousands of them have rushed onto the river beach and are launching an attack on our position." A low-ranking US military officer reported to the commander of the 117th Division in panic.
"Asshole, why are you hesitating? Hurry up and drive those Chinese down the river!" the commander of the 117th Division roared. Not long after the battle started, the Chinese had already attacked the shore. If this continues, they will
It will be very difficult for this division to hold its position.
"But the division commander and the troops on the front line reported that they had suffered heavy losses under the Chinese attack. There was only one battalion left in the first regiment, and more than half of the second regiment had been killed and wounded. They were barely holding on to the defense line. They couldn't hold it at all.
We don’t have the strength to launch a counterattack against the Chinese!" the junior officer replied. In order to cover the troops crossing the river, the Chinese army mobilized too many heavy artillery bombardments
The US military's positions were attacked, and there were planes in the sky that continued to drop bombs on the US military. Under such a blow, the US military's losses were very heavy. As the position of the US 117th Division, which was targeted by the Chinese army, it suffered heavy losses as a result.
.If the fortifications built by the US military in the past few months were not relatively reliable, the Chinese army might have invaded their positions long ago.
"Asshole! Order the division headquarters guard battalion to go to the front line immediately. Except for the officers of the division headquarters, everyone else who can take up arms should go to the front line!" the division commander of the US 117th Division ordered. The battle ended
Now at this time, he has no choice but to fight for his life!
"Division Commander, it's not good. The Chinese have launched a large-scale river crossing again. There are at least several thousand people crossing the river. If they get ashore, our defense line will be in danger!" The chief of staff of the 117th Division rushed into the headquarters.
, reported with a panicked expression.
"Damn it! Immediately transfer some troops from the 3rd Regiment to strengthen the front line. I will immediately request support from the army commander!" The commander of the 117th Division also panicked.
The call was quickly connected, and the commander of the US 117th Division shouted the moment the call was connected: "General, the Chinese are crossing the river in large numbers, and we are about to hold on. Our division's defense line is the focus of the Chinese
The target of the attack. Now our division has suffered heavy losses! If there are no reinforcements, our position will be breached within an hour!"
"Asshole! You must hold your position, otherwise I will shoot you! Reinforcements will arrive soon. I have only one request, you must hold your position, and you cannot let the Chinese break through your defense line!" The commander of the 30th U.S. Army was also a little anxious.
Quickly march towards the formation of the 117th Division
They dispatched a division of reinforcements and reported the situation to the headquarters. After all, judging from the current situation, although the Chinese launched a fierce artillery bombardment on hundreds of kilometers of defense lines, the main direction of attack was the US military.
The defense area of the 117th Division of the 30th Army.
Although the 30th U.S. Army has a total of 50,000 troops, their defense line is 50 kilometers long. Under the fierce attack of the powerful Chinese army, he really doesn't know if he can hold it.
More than 4,000 men from the 232nd Regiment of the 23rd Division of the Chinese Army took hundreds of small boats and rowed quickly to the north of the Rio Grande. Because the boats were too small to carry heavy equipment, they could only carry heavy machine guns, infantry cannons and
Mortars and other weapons were sent there. Therefore, they also needed Gran
Artillery support from the south bank of the De River. Fortunately, the US military's defense lines are being ravaged by Chinese army artillery fire and aircraft, and they are not yet able to cause a serious blow to their crossing of the river. Although from time to time, small boats were destroyed and soldiers fell into the river.
, but overall, the loss is not huge.
The surface of the Rio Grande is only more than two hundred meters wide, and you can reach the north bank in a few minutes. When you see hundreds of small boats covering almost the entire river, rushing towards them quickly, the American troops guarding the defense line
I was also frightened.
The news that the Chinese army crossed the river and successfully boarded the north bank of the Rio Grande was also sent to the U.S. Army's Rio Grande Defense Line Command. After receiving the news, General Pershing's face was so gloomy that he could drip water.
Come.
"Asshole, what happened? What are those guys on the front line doing again? It's only been more than two hours since the battle started, and the Chinese have landed. How long can we hold on like this?" General Pershing roared.
The fierceness of the Chinese army's offensive was a bit beyond his expectation! Originally, he thought that if the Chinese army wanted to land on the north bank of the Rio Grande, it would have to pay a heavy price! But he did not expect that the Chinese army would have to pay a heavy price in such a short period of time.
Within a short period of time, we successfully reached the north bank of the Rio Grande!
"General! The Chinese artillery fire was very fierce, and coupled with the bombing by their planes, our army fought very hard. Amidst the fierce Chinese artillery fire and bombing, almost all the defenses on the front line were destroyed.
The position of the 117th Infantry Division, which the Chinese focused on attacking, seemed to have been plowed over. There were 12,000 soldiers in the division, and the casualties now reached more than 30%. The 30th Army had already dispatched a
division reinforcements
Go up. But under the fierce attack of the Chinese, I don’t know how long I can hold on." General Davis explained. He relatively understood the difficult battles on the front line. After all, although the US military’s defense line is strong, it is definitely not as advertised.
It is so indestructible. Once it is bombarded by heavy artillery by Chinese artillery, or bombed by heavy aerial bombs by the Chinese Air Force, it will be destroyed. And after losing the protection of those fortifications, the casualties of the US military will further increase!
"Tell the 30th Army that even if their entire army is exhausted, they must hold their position. At least before dark, we cannot let the Chinese break through our position! Let the 14th Army be ready to attack the Chinese after dark.
, drive them down the river!" General Pershing ordered. During the day
At that time, Chinese aircraft were hovering on the US military's defense line. It was very difficult for the US military to reinforce the front line. The bombing by the Chinese Air Force alone would cost the US military a huge price. After nightfall, the Chinese Air Force could no longer continue its operations.
This gave the U.S. military an excellent opportunity.
"Yes, General! I understand!" General Davis nodded. He also knew that for the US military, the best opportunity to counterattack was at night. However, can the 30th Army hold on until night?
Thousands of people from the 232nd Regiment of the Chinese Army also successfully landed on the north bank of the Rio Grande. Although the U.S. military's firepower was still very strong, they were suppressed on the river beach after landing. But several thousand people successfully landed on the river beach.
This put great pressure on the US military. On the two-kilometer-long river beach, the Chinese army and
The US military launched a fierce fight. The Chinese army wanted to gain a foothold on the river beach and attacked north to expand their position and break through the US military's defense line. The US military also tried every means to hold its position and continued to pour firepower on the Chinese army.
I want to suppress the Chinese army on the river beach!
