The ninth and forty-second chapters exchange human life for time
After four huge 500 kilogram aviation bombs fell from the KO1 airship, the stinger airship quickly climbed up by hundreds of meters. The total weight of the four aviation bombs reached two tons. After the bomb was dropped, the airship weighed a little.
The slacks have been reduced a lot, allowing the airship to climb up quickly. The violent shaking caused by this has almost made the Chinese Air Force officers and soldiers on the airship unable to stand firm.
Four aviation bombs hit Highland No. 1 in a free fall situation, with a sharp roar. After about ten seconds, four aviation bombs landed on Highland No. 1.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" A violent explosion sounded, and four orange-red fireballs rose from Highland No. 1, with gunpowder smoke spreading, gravel splashing everywhere, and dust flying. The entire Highland No. 1 was completely covered by gunpowder smoke.
.
During the explosion of four aviation bombs, the entire Highland No. 1 shaking. Many anti-aircraft holes and tunnels had cracks, and some of the anti-aircraft holes and tunnels that had been damaged during the previous bombing were even more direct.
It collapsed, and the US soldiers hiding inside were even more dead and alive.
Twenty heavy airships in the sky flew over Highland 1 one after another and began to drop bombs, dropping all the heavy aviation bombs they carried on Highland 1. Although, twenty heavy airships were only carried.
Eighty 500 kilogram aviation bombs, but the power produced was much greater than the previous violent artillery bombardment of Chinese artillery. The artillery artillery could not penetrate the thick rock layer, killing and hiding in anti-aircraft holes and tunnels.
US military officers and soldiers. A half-ton aviation bomb fell from a height of one thousand meters, under the influence of its own gravity and kinetic energy, was enough to penetrate several meters of rock layer, plus hundreds of kilograms of strong explosives contained inside,
The US military hiding in anti-aircraft holes and tunnels caused great damage. However, the error of dropping bombs at an altitude of one thousand meters was relatively large. Only half of the eighty aviation bombs fell on the No. 1 Highland
All the remaining bombs deviated from the target. But even so, it caused great casualties to the US officers and soldiers who defended Highland No. 1.
At 10:30 in the morning, the bombing ended. All the airships of the Chinese Air Force airship units left Tiracololada and returned to Acapulco. After the bombing, the airships needed to be repaired and replenished ammunition, and the crew members on it also needed to rest.
According to the plan of Major General Chen Qifeng, the commander of the airship force, under the weather permitting conditions, the airship force can bomb Tira Colorada two to three times a day. If the weather conditions are not good, the bombing can only be cancelled. After all, this
Airships and planes of the era are very restricted by weather factors. If you fly when the weather is bad, an accident is likely to occur.
After the bombing of the Chinese Air Force airship troops ended, the entire No. 1 Highland had become a mess. The trenches and firepower points that the US military worked hard to build were destroyed during the bombing, and large sections of barbed wire were also destroyed, and the guards were
The US officers and soldiers in the No. 1 Highland were killed and injured. According to incomplete statistics, in this round of bombing alone, more than 2,000 people were killed in the 101st Division of the 26th Army of the US Army, and as many as many were seriously injured and slightly injured.
More than 3,000 people. In addition to the previous losses in the artillery bombardment, the 101st Division of the US Army has suffered more than half of its casualties and has almost lost its combat effectiveness. Among them, many of the officers and soldiers who died were trampled on the anti-aircraft artillery holes, causing them to be inside.
The US military officers and soldiers were buried alive and died of suffocation because they did not receive timely rescue.
Chinese officers and soldiers and Japanese mercenaries couldn't help but cheer after seeing the remnant image of the US Highland No. 1 being destroyed by the Chinese Air Force's airship forces.
Although the bombing of airships is undoubtedly very tragic for the Americans, this is exactly what the Chinese Army and Japanese mercenaries officers and soldiers want to see. The greater the casualties of the Americans, the more the Chinese Army and Japanese mercenaries, the more the Chinese Army and Japanese mercenaries are.
The less you pay when attacking.
"Give orders to Oshima Yoshihara, ten minutes later, a division will be put into attacking the No. 1 Highland, hoping to win the No. 1 Highland!" said Marshal Zhao Bowen. Of course, this is just a beautiful wish. Although No. 1 Highland, although No. 1 Highland, it is just a beautiful wish."
The Chinese Army commanders are still unable to know how many casualties were caused by the US military and how many fortifications were destroyed. They can only infer by sending troops to test.
The mission is naturally better for Japanese mercenaries.
On the inevitable Highland No. 3 in Tira Colorada, US commander Lieutenant General Clark put down the telescope in his hand. Although he was not sure how many defenders there were on Highland No. 1, it was obvious that the defenders above must have suffered casualties.
Dire .
"Order the 102nd Division to reinforce the No. 1 Highland immediately, and the Chinese cannot capture the No. 1 Highland no matter what!" Lieutenant General Clark issued an order expressionlessly. It can be foreseen that after the bombing is over, the Chinese army will definitely launch kilograms immediately after the bombing is over.
The importance of the No. 1 Highland to Tier La Colorado is self-evident. If the No. 1 Highland is occupied by the Chinese army, then the Chinese army can directly target the other two highlands and Tier La Colorado.
The city poses a threat, and a big hole will appear in the US military's defense system.
"General, the Chinese bombing is so fierce, the No. 1 Highland will probably bring us huge casualties!" The commander of the 26th Army of the US reminded. He no longer cared about the casualties of the 101st Division, and now he sent him to
His 102nd Division will definitely pay a heavy price to go to Height No. 1. Although there will always be death in war, watching his subordinates die still make these generals feel uncomfortable.
"I know, but we have no other way now. If the Highland No. 1 is occupied by the Chinese, we will not be able to defend Tira Cororada. The Chinese bombed Tira Cororada with airships, which has been offset.
We have the advantage of fortifications. Now we can only fight against the Chinese with our lives!" Lieutenant General Clark insisted.
"General, this is not a solution! There are more Chinese and Japanese than us. If this continues, we will have no chance to defeat them!" Another major general and chief also said.
"I will contact General Pershing and ask him for support. We also have airship troops in the United States, which may not be as good as the Chinese airship troops, but we have more. However, we need to transport airship troops from the United States to here.
Also, it will take at least half a month, and we need to gain enough time!" Lieutenant General Clark said.
The other commanders had to stop saying anything. Although they were also commanders, Lieutenant General Clark was the supreme commander of the entire Tira Colorada. They could make suggestions, but the final decision was made by Clark.
Made by Lieutenant General!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" After the Chinese Aircraft Airship Force left, the Chinese artillery once again launched a firepower strike on Height No. 1. Although the American artillery also launched a counterattack, the US artillery did not pay during the bombing just now.
With a small loss, the remaining artillery also moved its positions and could not effectively suppress the Chinese artillery for a while. The Chinese artillery's artillery preparation time was not long and it stopped ten minutes later. Afterwards, the 14th Division of the Japanese Mercenary
The regiment was ordered to initiate kilograms on Highland No. 1.
"The Chinese Empire is on board! The Japanese mercenary is on board!" Tens of thousands of Japanese mercenaries shouted slogans and launched an attack on the No. 1 Highland defended by the US military. They had red eyes and looked ferocious.
On the No. 1 Highland, the surviving US officers and soldiers were coming out of the anti-aircraft shelter and entering the broken position, preparing to face the enemy's attack. However, the position was damaged too seriously, and many fixed firepower points were destroyed, making No. 1
The fortifications in the highlands were greatly damaged. This means that if the US military wants to guard the No. 1 Highlands, it may have to pay more casualties.
"Let's fire! Open fire! Kill all these yellow-skinned monkeys, our reinforcements are coming soon, hold on!" The low-level officers of the 101st Division of the US Army shouted loudly, saying that these people who had just experienced bombing were full of horror on their faces.
The soldiers encouraged and cheered.
"Dadada! Bangbangbang!" After the Japanese mercenaries rushed into the range of the US military, the US heavy machine guns and rifles opened fire, shooting the Japanese mercenary officers and soldiers on the attacking. However, their firepower was as good as before.
Compared to it, it is much weaker!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" A row of mortar shells and mountain cannon shells fell into the attacking Japanese mercenary attacking queue, and the bombing of Japanese mercenaries turned over, but then more Japanese mercenary officers and soldiers rushed up.
Fill in the gap.
Under the firepower of the US military, the Japanese mercenaries suffered considerable casualties. Many Japanese mercenary soldiers also lay on the ground and fought back with rifles in their hands. Although the Japanese mercenaries were simple in equipment, they also had some heavy machine guns and
Mortars, when these heavy machine guns and mortars were set up, they immediately opened fire on the US military positions, causing great casualties to the US military.
The US KO1 Division suffered heavy casualties, and only a few thousand people were able to continue fighting. Moreover, their heavy weapons were also very large. At this time, they were already helpless in the attack of a division of Japanese mercenaries.
The 14th Division of the Japanese mercenary army gradually approached the US military's position. Although it suffered huge casualties, it also caused great casualties to the US military.
Fortunately, a few minutes later, the 102nd Division of the US Army arrived. The addition of the new force greatly boosted the morale of the US Army and quickly repelled the attack of the Japanese mercenaries. However, the 101st Division of the US Army has completely lost its combat effectiveness, and now
The 101st Division is the lesson of the 102nd Division. However, the US military now has no other way, so it has to trade human lives for time!
