"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The dense shells fell, and the air waves generated by the violent explosion threw the surrounding soldiers into the sky. The shrapnel were storming, reaping lives freely. Faced with the sudden violent artillery attack from the US military, China,
Soldiers can only lie on the ground to avoid being hit. However, those soldiers who were directly hit by shells have long been blown away!
"Damn it, these Americans dare to use heavy artillery at this distance. Aren't they afraid of hurting their own people by chance?" The leader of the 111th Regiment who was watching the battle behind cursed. At a fierce shelling by the American artillery,
His troops suffered a lot of losses, which made his heart bleeding!
"The Americans have already marked the shooting numbers, so they are not afraid of accidentally hurting their own people. The regiment commander, what should I do now? The enemy's artillery fire is too fierce, and we can't rush up at all!" The chief of staff of the 111th Regiment asked.
road.
"Please ask the higher authorities!" The leader of the 111th Regiment did not dare to make decisions without authorization.
"The division commander ordered the 111th Regiment to retreat!" At this moment, the communications corps sent the division commander! This made the commander of the 111th Regiment breathe a sigh of relief. However, when the 111th Regiment retreated, it made him feel very distressed.
!In this attack, the 111th Regiment lost thousands of people, which was equivalent to a 25% reduction in personnel!
"Damn Americans, I won't be a human being if I don't take revenge!" The leader of the 111th Regiment cursed.
In the Sixth Army Command in the rear, General Gao Chang frowned when he learned about the war on the front line. The combat power shown by the US army was completely beyond his expectations!
"Order the artillery to move forward! Light howitzers shelled the American positions, all heavy howitzers and heavy cannons. Prepare to suppress the American artillery!" General Gao Chang ordered. It seems that it is not necessary to first deal with the American artillery.
It is impossible to break through the American defense line. Fortunately, China still has a great advantage in artillery!
At 10:30 am, the shelling began again. The 105mm light howitzer of the Chinese artillery poured shells into the US positions at its highest firing rate. The fierce shelling will bring about US soldiers celebrating the repelling of the Chinese army's attack.
The losses were heavy. In the successive artillery bombardment, their losses were really much greater than the losses of the 111th Regiment of the Chinese Army. However, the US military had an advantage in military strength, and this loss was not for them.
Injure the muscles and bones!
In the division headquarters of the 11th Division of the Chinese Army, the commander of the 111th Regiment was arguing with the division commander Major General He Bingju!
"Teacher Commander, the last attack, our regiment lost thousands of people, but we still have combat effectiveness. Let us join the regiment for the next attack!" The leader of the 111th regiment begged.
"Your group will take a break first. The next attack will be on the 112th regiment!" Major General He Bingju said.
"Teacher, just give me this opportunity! I promise that as long as the artillery support can keep up, our regiment will definitely break through the American defense line!" The 111th regiment commander promised.
Major General He Bingju hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed to the request of the 111th Regiment. The reason why he wanted to change troops to attack was to prevent all the troops from losing too much. This battle seems not easy to fight!
If the losses are too large, it will be very unfavorable to the subsequent war!
On the second line of defense of the US military, a middle-aged general was holding a telescope and looking at the first line of defense in front of him that was already covered by artillery fire. He was Major General John Pershing, the commander of the Third Army of the US Army. Originally, he was the first.
The commander of the 43rd Division was promoted to major general after the Chinese invaded Mexico, and the commander of the 43rd Division was replaced by his deputy, Brigadier General Davis!
"General, the Chinese bombardment was very fierce. The 41st Division in front might not be able to withstand it. In the previous battle, they had already suffered a lot of losses!" Brigadier General Davis said. The defense of the St. Louis Valley was made by the
The first line of defense that the three armies are responsible for defending is the 42nd Division. The second line of defense behind is the 43rd Division and the army's direct troops. The other two divisions act as reserves. Of course, John
?Major General Pershing is not just about defense. He wants to use two lines of defense to consume the Chinese army's short force, and then use two divisions to counterattack. Of course, if the Second Army can counterattack together, the effect will be
It will undoubtedly be much better. However, the stubborn Lieutenant General John Bates will not take risks until the First Army arrives in San Luis Potosi, which makes Major General John Pershing very depressed!
"The Chinese used light howitzers. Their heavy artillery did not fire, obviously waiting for us to open fire. Our artillery only has more than a hundred artillery left. We need to save some use and not be with the Chinese.
Fight hard!" Major General John Pershing knew the gap between the artillery and did not want his artillery and Chinese artillery to fight to consume!
"Occurrence! Break through the Americans' defense line!" At 11 a.m., the 111th Regiment began its second attack. This time, the artillery fire of the Chinese artillery did not extend backwards and was still shelling the US military's positions. This made the US military fundamentally
It is impossible to form a powerful counterattack in the violent shelling!
The soldiers of the 111th Regiment hugged and quickly launched an attack on the US military's positions. The US soldiers on the positions were still huddled in the trenches to avoid shelling and could not stop their attack.
The artillery fire began to extend backwards when the Chinese soldiers assaulted the US military position less than 300 meters. The Chinese artillery was also afraid of hurting their own people by chance. At this distance, it was already a great threat to the US military.
.
"Get up! Get up quickly, the Chinese are coming up!" The panicked American soldiers began to emerge and prepare to block the attack of the Chinese soldiers!
"Dadadadada! Boom! Boom! Boom!" The heavy machine guns and mortars of the Chinese army have been set up long ago. As soon as the US military emerged, it attacked them fiercely, which completely suppressed the US military. And the Chinese soldiers
, take the opportunity to rush forward!
On the fifteen-kilometer-long defense line, the 41st Division of the US Army had only more than 12,000 people. The 111th Regiment chose a line of defense less than two kilometers. This line of defense was under the attack of the 111th Regiment.
, it is already shaking.
"General, position No. 3 is almost unable to withstand it. We have more than half of our casualties. Please support!"
"Damn, where do I have reinforcements? Transfer my guard battalion and ask General Pershing for support!" The commander of the 41st Division said irritably! His 41st Division has now suffered heavy losses.
.If Major General Pershing had not received the order and had not been allowed to retreat without permission, he would have wanted to retreat long ago!
"Grenade!" A team of Chinese soldiers rushed to a place less than 30 meters away from the US military's position. The squad leader who led the team yelled! Immediately afterwards, more than ten grenades flew into the US trenches and drove the US military inside.
The soldiers bombed the people and the horses were overturned.
"Run!" The squad leader took the lead, rushed through the last distance quickly, and jumped into the trench.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The pistol in his hand quickly opened fire, killing the US soldiers in the trench who had not been killed. After the other soldiers rushed into the trench, they began to break through to both sides and quickly
Clean up the trenches!
"Haha! Finally, I've attacked! These Americans want to fight with us! Let's wait a few more years!" The leader of the 111th regiment laughed!
However, his laughter was not over yet, and then his whole expression solidified.
When Chinese soldiers assaulted the US position, the silent US artillery opened fire again. The dense shells exploded in front of the US position, and the Chinese soldiers who were about to rush into the US position were blown up. Although, Chinese artillery soldiers were overwhelmed.
The heavy artillery group opened fire at the first time and began to suppress the US artillery based on the coordinates obtained. However, the 111th Regiment still suffered heavy losses. In the end, it was driven back by the US army again!
After evacuation, the 111th Regiment counted the losses. The total number of casualties in the regiment was more than 2,000 people, and half of the regiment was gone. This made the leader of the 111th Regiment so angry that he scolded the Americans. It was too despicable and shameless.
It's right.
However, although the US military repelled the attack of the Chinese army, its own losses were not small. In particular, their artillery was taken seriously by the heavy artillery group of Chinese artillery and was suddenly taken away from several artillery positions, and once again
Fifty or sixty cannons were lost.
In the afternoon, the 11th Division launched an attack again. This time, the main attack was the 112th Regiment. The 111th Regiment had to retreat to rest due to heavy losses!
The afternoon battle was still very fierce. The 112th Regiment broke through the US defense line several times, but was driven back at the last moment. The US military also fought desperately to defend its position. After half of the US 41st Division lost,
Major General Pershing also had to replace the 45th Division, which was the reserve team, to the court.
It was not until the sun set and night fell that today's battle ended. In today's battle, the Chinese army paid a heavy price. The 11th Infantry Division, which was mainly attacking, suffered more than 3,000 casualties. Among them, 1,200 were killed in battle.
Duoduo people were seriously injured, and the rest were slightly injured. Almost the combat power of a regiment disappeared!
So much so that after General Gao Chang received such a battle loss, his face was as gloomy as if he could drip out of water. In his hands, there were only two available troops, the 11th Infantry Division and the Third Marine Division, if
If there were heavy losses, there was no way to fight the subsequent battle! After hesitating for a while, General Gao Chang sent a telegram to the General Staff, demanding that the 12th Division be transferred from Hawaii to Mexico to support the battle here.
However, the 12th Division is about to arrive, at least twenty days later!
In fact, the US military suffered a lot of losses. The US 41st Division directly lost more than half of it, which was equivalent to being crippled. The 45th Division, which was replaced later, also suffered heavy losses. The losses of the two troops combined were a full amount.
Ten thousand people. Such losses have made Major General Pershing always look bad! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile phone
