"Damn it, do these Americans want to fight to the death? Let the 252nd Regiment go to the 5th Regiment immediately, and the 253rd Regiment is ready to go to the front line at any time. Humph! Even if you have to fight to the death, I will never be afraid of these Americans.
"The commander of the 25th Infantry Division said.
At 9:5 am, the soldiers of the 252nd Regiment went to the highlands and joined the defense of the 1st Highlands. The 61st Division of the US Army's attack was very fierce, but it suffered great casualties, with soldiers almost every second.
Dead or injured. In the face of huge casualties, the originally high fighting will of the US military began to gradually collapse.
At 10 a.m., after two hours of fierce fighting, the 61st Infantry Division of the US Army suffered heavy casualties, had to stop the attack and retreat to the US position.
"Damn it! I almost broke through the Chinese defense line!" Lieutenant General George cursed when he saw the US troops retreat.
"George, calm down, the 61st Division has done its best." Lieutenant General Clark said in a deep voice. In just two hours of fighting, the 61st Division of the US Army paid at least a few thousand people, plus the slightly injured soldiers,
More than half of the entire division have suffered casualties!
"Clark, launch a second wave of attacks immediately, and the Chinese will be unable to resist it. Once we can break through the Chinese defense line and regain the No. 1 Highland!" Lieutenant General George said loudly.
"George, forget it, let's retreat! The Chinese people's defense is too strong. In this case, the offensive command will only increase casualties!" Lieutenant General Clark suggested.
"No, I can't just admit defeat like this. We still have more than 100,000 troops, and we can definitely regain the No. 1 Highland!" Lieutenant General George said with red eyes. He really didn't want to just admit defeat like this. If he admits defeat, the US military will give his best.
At such a great price, he would definitely find a scapegoat. He didn't want to be that scapegoat, so he could only take a gamble.
"George, there are still hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops on the opposite side. Even if we take back the No. 1 Highland, the Chinese can still seize the No. 2 Highland. Will we still have to kill and injured tens of thousands of people to take back the No. 2 Highland? We are simply
Without so many troops, I can’t waste my children in vain anymore!” Lieutenant General Clark persuaded him earnestly.
"No, Clark, I'm not willing to give up like this. Let's do this, my 11th Army has two full divisions, your unit is responsible for the defense behind Haltiangis, I use my unit to seize the No. 1 Highland
!” said Lieutenant General George.
Seeing that Lieutenant General George had made up his mind, Lieutenant General Clark knew that no matter how he persuaded him
Lieutenant General George would not change his attitude and had to agree with Lieutenant General George's plan.
A few minutes later, Lieutenant General George summoned all officers at the regiment level and above of the 43rd Division of the 11th Army of the US Army in the command center.
"The Chinese have occupied the No. 1 Highland and are under great threat. We must regain the No. 1 Highland and drive China out of Haltiangis. Otherwise, we can only evacuate here. Your Excellency the President
We just praised the entire army, and we cannot let him down! Therefore, the 43rd Division and the 44th Division must regain the No. 1 Highland during today's attack. We are not allowed to retreat without authorization, otherwise military law will be carried out!" Lieutenant General George
Sternly said.
"It's the general!" The officers of the 43rd Division and the 44th Division all felt the murderous intent in Lieutenant General George's words. Lieutenant General George also gained great authority in the 11th Army, and the officers dared not object.
At 10:30 am, the 43rd Division of the 11th Army of the US launched a fierce attack on Height No. 1 again. Lieutenant General George also specially ordered the military police to form a supervision team. If the US military does not obey the order and retreats without authorization, the
They dealt with it. Under the threat of the supervision team, the US troops attacking the No. 1 position almost took out all their energy. Under the cover of their own artillery fire, they launched an attack on the high ground with mercy. Even though their comrades around them kept on keeping their hands on their hands.
but they did not retreat.
The fierce attack of the US military directly led to great casualties in the Chinese defenders. The so-called killing of one thousand enemies hurts eight hundred by themselves. While the Chinese army caused great casualties to the US military, the casualties themselves were quite large.
Regarding the casualties of the US military, the Chinese army's losses were only a little smaller. Under the attack of the US military, the Chinese army's defense on the No. 1 Highland has also become precarious.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Several mortar shells fell into the trenches, tearing several Chinese soldiers who were manipulating a heavy machine gun to pieces. Taking advantage of this opportunity, several US troops took the opportunity to rush forward.
The trenches of the Chinese defenders.
"Bastard! Come with me and drive the Americans out of the trenches!" A lieutenant platoon leader ordered loudly, calling a few soldiers and rushing towards the US soldiers who were attacking the trenches.
"Bang bang bang!" The platoon leader fired one after another, killing several US soldiers. The remaining US soldiers were also killed by other Chinese soldiers. At the same time, the light machine gun was also set up to target the subsequent US soldiers.
The soldiers launched a strafing fire and repelled the attack of the US soldiers. However, the fierce attack of the US military in the entire No. 1 Highland was still in danger.
At this time, the generals of the Chinese Navy also discovered the abnormality of the US military. A few days ago, although the US military's attack was fierce, it was not as fierce as death. The US military's attack gave people a sense of terror.
It feels completely crazy. The commander of the 25th Division of the Chinese Army quickly reported this situation to the commander of the group army, Lieutenant General Xie Dingkun. His 25th Division had already put all three regiments into the No. 1 Highland, if the US military
If the attack continues fiercely, the 25th Division will definitely not be able to hold on.
"Mr. Zhao, what do you think? What are the Americans planning to do?" In the command center, General Xie Dingkun asked General Zhao Bowen for his opinion after dispatching reinforcements from a division to Highland No. 1.
"It seems that the Americans have seen through our plan. They are planning to take all their own bets and want to regain the No. 1 Highland!" General Zhao Bowen thought for a while and then said.
"But we will not let their attempts succeed. No matter how much troops they invest, they will not be able to regain Highland No. 1!" said General Du Qizheng, commander of the 7th Army.
"If their attack fails, they should recognize the reality and choose to retreat!" said General Zhao Bowen.
"But, in this way, we cannot achieve the combat goal!" General Xie Dingkun said anxiously. The US military still has more than 100,000 people in Haltiangis. If these US troops flee back to Tiracolorada, the next step is to
The battle will have a great impact.
"You can only take one step and see one step! Order the entire army to be prepared for an attack. Let the Japanese mercenaries of Yoshima Oshima strengthen their attack on Heights 2. Before 2:00 this afternoon, once Heights 2 are to be taken down.
!In addition, the No. 1 Highland must be defended. The 7th Army is ready for combat. Once the US military shows signs of retreat, immediately launch an attack on Haltiangis! We must keep the US military here as much as possible!" Zhao Bowen
Will say!
"Yes, sir!" General Xie Dingkun and General Du Qizheng said quickly.
The Chinese army quickly took action. Lieutenant General Xie Dingkun once again drew an infantry division from the 2nd Army to reinforce the No. 1 Highland, and another infantry division was used as a reserve. He had been waiting for orders since the beginning of the war.
The 7th Army also quickly completed the preparations before the attack. After receiving the order, the Japanese mercenary commander General Yoshima Oshima immediately strengthened his attack on the No. 2 Highland. Originally, each attack was only one regiment.
Now every round of attacks has been invested in a brigade. The Japanese mercenaries have strengthened their attack strength, which has immediately doubled the pressure of the US military guarding the No. 2 position, and the positions have almost been broken through by the Japanese mercenaries several times.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" On the high ground on both sides of Haltiangis, the Chinese army and the US army fought fiercely. The US commander Lieutenant General George placed all his hopes on this wave of attacks, from the first
The 11th Army drew two complete infantry divisions to attack the No. 1 Highland, hoping to regain the highland. However, when the Chinese military judged the intention of the US military and made new arrangements, the intention of the US military
It has completely failed.
The US military launched attacks on the No. 1 Highland again and again, but after replenishing sufficient troops, the Chinese military's positions were like the hard rocks on the seaside, allowing the waves to come violently, but they remained unmoved, but the waves were instead.
Turns into pieces in the impact.
"Damn it, why is this happening? How can the Chinese defense be so strong?" Lieutenant General George said gritting his teeth.
"George, give up, we have time to retreat now!" Lieutenant General Clark suggested. However, Lieutenant General George still stubbornly rejected Lieutenant General Clark's suggestion.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the No. 2 Highland defended by the US military was broken by Japanese mercenaries, and the tens of thousands of U.S. troops guarding the highland were almost completely lost.
At this moment, the Chinese artillery launched a large-scale shelling on Haltianggis, and thousands of heavy artillery launched a cover-based shelling on Haltianggis. The dense shells fell, causing the entire Haltianggis to be
Covered in it, houses and streets turned into ruins during shelling, and the US military's fortifications were also destroyed during shelling. The 23rd Army of the US Army stationed in Haltiangis suffered heavy losses during shelling.
The shelling took only ten minutes, and then the 7th Army of the Chinese Army dispatched two infantry divisions to launch a fierce attack on Haltiangis. At the same time, the 2nd Army of the Chinese Army, which was stationed in the No. 1 Highland, had just been captured.
The Japanese mercenaries from the Highland No. 2 also launched an attack and encircled Hartiangis from both sides!
