On this night, the officers and soldiers of Beiyang were drunk, and the next day Chiang Kai-shek had a separate banquet for the officers and soldiers on duty the day before.

On August 7, after a week of vigorous preparation and a long period of planning, the Battle of Grand Delta kicked off, and the first goal of this operation was to seize Grand Delta, the choke point of the US army's land communications, and cut off the Americans' way to retreat, and the second goal was naturally to take South Alaska.

At this moment, Stilwell's acquaintance, Sun Liren, a famous Chinese general in a hundred battles, commanded his group army of 80,000 people to kill the Grand Delta from the three directions of Fairbanks, Yukon and Dawson,

At the same time, a reinforced army of 45,000 men commanded by Zhang Lingfu attacked Kentwell, and the squadron on the Alaska Peninsula also launched an attack on the American army.

The Chinese submarine forces on the sea are also more frequent.

MacArthur's strength has also been greatly strengthened, and the US government is obviously unwilling to give up Alaska as a bridgehead, and the longer Alaska is defended, the more beneficial it will be to the United States.

Now the U.S. government is so cool, oh, the Canadian government has been discussing that if Alaska falls, they should be there to fight the squadron.

The squadron ** has hit Dawson, Canada's troops are too weak, Dawson's Canadian army was beaten by the Chinese with a surprise attack, the Americans believe that the reason why the squadron did not continue to fight south, one is because there is the army of South Alaska, the other is that the territory at the foot of the Maggist Mountains is too barren, the road is impassable, the Chinese can not effectively supply, so they temporarily gave up going south and went all out to annihilate the army of South Alaska,

The U.S. government was very dissatisfied with MacArthur's sudden abandonment of Alaska's behavior, and demanded that MacArthur be replaced, but Marshall did his best to protect MacArthur, of course, not because MacArthur was so good, but because the change of battle at this time would be even more unfavorable to the U.S. military.

In addition, Marshall understood the whole process of the matter, and he himself thought that if he suffered such a big blow, it was human nature to react like that, and this decision should be the best.

At 12 o'clock in the evening that day, in fact, it is also called daytime, because the summer sunshine on this side of the Arctic Circle is very long, reaching 22 hours, that is to say, only two hours is night, and it is not very dark, most of the US troops have fallen asleep, and for more than a week, the squadron has not made any major moves, except for bombing,

A few days of peace have made the U.S. military much more relaxed, 12 o'clock, the Chinese attack force has all been in place, 12:10, the air force launched a large number of bombs to bomb the place where the U.S. military exists, this time it is different from usual, it is a sub-munition, a bomb will be dropped after the first round of explosion will be divided into countless small bombs, and then explode in an area, and the underground target has nowhere to hide,

At the same time, the armored units of the Chinese army, the infantry, under the cover of artillery and helicopters, launched an attack on the positions of the American troops,

The commander of the US army in Grand Delta is called Vincent, and at the moment he has 60,000 horses in his hands, and these horses are deployed dozens of kilometers around Grand Delta for defense.

Although the geographical location of Grand Delta is important, but because Alaska is very cold, so few people are willing to live here, and Grand Delta is a small town, not even the size of the county.

Vincent's troops are almost all scattered outside the city, and they want to use positional warfare to drag down the squadron.

The advantage of night air raids is that it is not easy for the enemy to intercept, and the bomber can be relatively easily counted in the target area for bombing, and his shortcomings are also obvious, the first is naturally that there is a large deviation in accuracy; The second is that it is easy to get lost at night, especially the squadron is familiar with this place.

The U.S. Air Force dispatched the Chinese Air Force as soon as it entered the radar frequency, and their response was very fast, and more than 20 planes took off in a few minutes.

The raid did not give the squadron much advantage, nor did it give the US military unexpected damage, the US army was too vigilant, and the fortifications were too well repaired, and the squadron could not take advantage of the loopholes.

"General, sure enough, you guessed it, and the Chinese really came to sneak attack."

"Hehe, from the beginning of the attack on the Soviet Union, the Chinese prefer to attack at night or in the early morning, before the squadron confronted us for so many days without attacking, I knew that they had a conspiracy."

"General, do you think we can hold Alaska?"

"Of course you can, the U.S. government will not abandon Alaska, if Alaska is lost, the squadron will attack the hinterland of Canada, and then the United States, so as long as we are determined, we will be able to hold it, and our weapons and equipment are no worse than the squadron."

As soon as Sun Liren saw that the raid was unsuccessful, he immediately made a high strategy and changed to a strong attack.

"Commander, it seems that the Americans also have a few brushes, and they suddenly withstood our surprise attack."

"Yes, I have never underestimated the Americans, but at the moment the difference in strength between the two sides is not big, and the weapons and equipment are similar, and if you want to reduce losses at this time, you can only work tactics."

"Commander, I'm afraid the losses won't be small in the current attack, and it seems that there is no need for any strategy, so I can only fight hard."

Sun Liren thought for a while and said, "Let the Air Force blow up all the bridges on the river." ”

"What, how are we going to get over after that?"

Sun Lidao: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to pass in a short period of time, if we keep the bridge, the US troops in the north and south of the river can be deployed freely, and it will be much more convenient for them to transport materials, which is not a small pressure for us, but if the bridge is blown up, although we will not be able to cross it in the future, but at least we can prevent the US troops on both sides of the river to the greatest extent, and they will have to transfer troops, and the distribution of materials can only rely on boats, and I also believe that the Americans will inevitably hold the bridge after the defeat on the north bank, let us attack, If they can't hold it, they'll blow it up, so we won't be able to get the whole bridge, so it's better to leave no one at all. ”

"I see, I'm going to send a telegram to the Air Force."

And the air force, under the guidance of Sun Liren's department, soon destroyed all the bridges on the river.

Vincent was taken aback when he heard the news, and was speechless for a long time, the river north of the Grand Delta was not wide, and it was not narrow, he was more than ten meters, but the river was very deep, and the car could not drive directly over, so Vincent was very entangled,

"There are also masters in the squadron." Vincent lamented, the Chinese did this directly, although they could not get the bridge, but they did not cheap the Americans,

Originally, Vincent planned that they would blow up the bridge themselves in the later stage, and now the Chinese have done it directly, to a hundred, but this can be bitter for them, Vincent's original plan to use the bridge to transport materials is all in vain, and now they can only use small kayaks, or make bamboo rafts to transport materials and soldiers, this back and forth will delay countless hours and manpower,

"Grass." Vincent scolded,

"General, now that there is no bridge, it will be inconvenient for us to contact the army on the Tanano River."

"I know, aren't you trying to figure out a way, you asked people to make more bamboo rafts in case of emergency."

……

"Boom......" A long rocket was fired, and a Chinese soldier fired a rocket at the American machine-gun position.

"Boom." There was a loud bang, and a puff of smoke flew several meters high,

The squadron has been attacking for 3 hours in a row, but there is no improvement, of course, the squadron does not want to fight people, so the casualties are too great,

"Company commander, the Americans' firepower is too strong, it seems that the casualties of a normal attack will be very large."

"Well, we are not in a hurry to attack, first consume the ammunition that consumes the Americans."

In this kind of battle with equal strength, no one wants to win all at once, the Chinese side is obviously ready for a month of war, in fact, everyone knows it in their hearts,

The soldiers of China and the United States fired bullets at each other aimlessly, and in the sky were the planes of both sides, in Alaska, where there were 22 hours of daylight in a day, it could be said that the real 24-hour operation, the squadron had no chance of large-scale sneak attack at all, and the night was too short.

Now the planes of both sides are not only equipped with machine guns, but also rockets, and once the rockets hit any part of the plane, the pilot of the plane can only make a small parachute jump even if he does not die on the spot.

On the air force side, both sides can't help each other for the time being, so everyone is almost the same as if there is no air force, the Americans' fortifications are strong and permanent, and the Chinese air force can't help it for a while.

"Hit." With an order, countless rocket artillery fired rockets at the US position, and in the three hours of attack just now, the squadron had already detected a considerable part of the firepower of the US army, and at this moment they had adjusted the muzzle, and they wanted to knock out the US firepower in the first round.

Rocket artillery is aimed at striking at the surface, not like ordinary points, ordinary point strikes, each time it can not hit a position, there will be countless fish that slip through the net, and although each rocket artillery can not hit a position, but he is a surface strike, even if the ammunition cannot hit the same position, then the ammunition fired from other tubes will make up for that gap, so it is difficult for the US military to survive on the entire strike surface.

"Whoosh...... "The terrifying sound of ...... is endless, and although it is the striking side, the Chinese artillerymen are still very afraid of this thing,

"Woo Woo ......" When the Americans heard the sound, they saw countless tail-dragging things flying towards them, and everyone got into the bomb shelter as fast as they could, and they knew that it was not a good thing just by listening to the sound, and they knew that it was terrible just by listening to the sound.

2 or 3 seconds later, rockets and artillery shells rained down on the positions of the US troops, and for a while dust, human limbs, etc. flew everywhere.
