Chapter 048: Capturing the Tarano River North
The shelling of the squadron also taught the Americans what it was like to be smashed by shells, and they had been dealing with the Japanese and Germans like this with a lot of ammunition.
Seeing that his subordinates were hit by Chinese artillery and couldn't raise their heads, Vincent was unwilling, and he immediately ordered the artillery to fight back, "Damn, let our artillery fiercely clean up the Chinese artillery and give them a little color." ”
With Vincent's order, the heavy artillery that was originally hidden also began to exert its might, but although the Americans' howitzer firepower was fierce, the range was not as good as the rocket artillery of the squadron, but the infantry in front suffered damage, and under the countless heavy artillery hits, the squadron also suffered heavy casualties,
The commander of the attacking squadron immediately asked the helicopter unit to go out and kill the American artillery, and soon more than 50 helicopters took off and killed the American artillery position.
The U.S. anti-aircraft fire in the rear positions of the U.S. military immediately opened fire on the helicopter troops, and suffered so many losses, they already understood what these strange guys were going to do, the dense firepower carried around the helicopter, and even carried the helicopter, the pilots evaded everywhere, but 5 minutes passed, and two more were injured and forced to return, while the rest pulled up and continued to fly towards the American artillery,
Vincent soon received the news that the Chinese helicopters were flying, there is no doubt that these guys must have wanted to kill the artillery when they flew towards the artillery, Vincent knew that it was too late for the artillery to evacuate now, so on the one hand, it was necessary to let the artillery evacuate, and on the other hand, it was necessary to organize anti-aircraft fire,
The Chinese helicopter units soon arrived at the American artillery positions, they moved quickly from the altitude, and fired rockets at the American artillery or ammunition, and the positions soon became thick with smoke.
In the dense firepower of the Mi people, the helicopter killed one artillery gun after another, and the helicopter fired all the rockets, and then used the six-barreled machine gun carried on it to frantically strafe the artillery of the US army.
To deal with underground targets, it can be said that there is no more effective way than missiles, it is clear that this time the Americans suffered heavy losses, and two heavy artillery regiments were directly scrapped,
Vincent yelled when he got the news, "Damn, damn it." ”
There were no two heavy artillery regiments at once, and they had to rely on light artillery and fortifications,
"The general is not in a good situation, we have lost so many artillery pieces at once, and it is difficult for the air force to support us, and the Chinese artillery is afraid that it will press us down."
"Don't worry, the country will give us the necessary support, and besides, don't we still have the Tanano River to rely on."
"You mean to say that we are going to retreat to the south bank of the Tanano River for defense."
"Yes, but not now, most of our artillery on the north bank has been destroyed, and we can't suppress the heavy artillery of the squadron, and staying on the north bank is also a waste of time, and we don't need to fight with them at all."
"yes, if only the bridge hadn't blown up, so we could evacuate quickly."
"If the bridge is still there, I won't evacuate, wouldn't it be better to drive the heavy artillery division over directly."
"Is it too?"
At this time, Sun Liren had already received the news that the two heavy artillery regiments of the Americans had been killed, and he began to arrange the next plan.
The shelling of the Americans just now caused a lot of losses to the squadron, nearly 1,000 casualties in two battalions, the power of the 155 caliber howitzer is really amazing, even if a bomb is not hit by any shrapnel, the soldiers within ten meters of the bomb explosion will bleed to death or be really stunned,
Sun Lidao: "After killing their heavy artillery, we should take the position of the US army in one go, order the artillery fire to be extended, and the armored troops and helicopter units will all be dispatched, and give me a blow to take the position of the US army." ”
"Yes." The adjutant departed,
Five minutes later, under the cover of intensive artillery fire, armored and helicopter units plus infantry launched a surprise attack on the American positions, and their combat purpose was simple, to take out the American troops north of the Tanano River,
Type 44 heavy tanks and Type 44 medium tanks immediately killed the US military positions, and in the sky were hundreds of helicopters covering in the air, and the six-barreled machine guns on the helicopters kept strafing those US troops they could see, which made it impossible for the US troops to deal with the air threat and still have the energy to deal with the threat on the ground.
Some of the only threats posed by the U.S. military will also be directly killed by tank troops and infantry, and after ten minutes, the U.S. military only succeeded in destroying a medium tank.
Soon the U.S. military collapsed under the tactical blow of the squadron's air-space integrated operation, and their collapse was in line with Sun Liren's intentions, and soon the armored forces were fully pressed.
The next thing was that the U.S. troops were beaten by the U.S. troops, and the U.S. troops defending behind couldn't shoot at the scattered U.S. troops, so they could only watch these U.S. troops rush into their positions, and then the squadron behind them also rushed up.
Then all the American troops broke down again, and the squadron kept following behind, and the American troops were so tired that they collapsed and couldn't run and surrendered directly, they didn't know why the squadron was not tired, and they kept running behind them for dozens of miles,
And the squadron is not tired, but China did not have any mechanization before, even the lack of mules and horses, unlike the United States, these soldiers are cars at every turn, so the squadron can closely chase them, of course, there is also the factor of victory, who is not active in capturing prisoners and winning battles,
The US army actually collapsed, Sun Liren was a little surprised, he went to a military school in the United States, and he knew the US army better, although this was what he expected, but the Americans really did this, he was a little lost, but sympathy, pity does not mean that he will show mercy, this is a national war, if you can't kill the United States, also learn that the next time the Chinese people will taste the taste of the American atomic bomb, these Wang Hanzhang has been repeated many times, and let experts explain the power of the atomic bomb, which makes these generals creepy, They are all a little reluctant to fight the Americans.
However, Wang Hanzhang also clearly told them that even if they didn't provoke the Americans, once the Americans succeeded in their atomic bomb research, the Americans would clean up China, so they sat still and waited, it was better to take the initiative to attack, at least there was a chance to win, of course, Wang Hanzhang did not tell them that China was also researching the atomic bomb.
As soon as the war starts, everyone only knows that they must go all out, it is useless to regret it, only by killing the enemy, can their country have the full strength to survive,
Sun Liren let the troops fully press up and continue to attack with their lives, self-propelled guns almost followed behind the tanks, and rocket artillery towed by heavy vehicles also followed, but they could only walk on the road or in flat areas,
Vincent was surprised that his more than 30,000 subordinates were so defeated, although half of these soldiers were recruits, but they were not so bad, and the recruits of the year would not be like this for the German army or the Japanese army, not to mention that there were ordinary veterans,
But he forgot that the squadron was different from the Japanese army or the German army, the squadron had a higher level of firepower than them, and although the overall quality of the soldiers was not as good as theirs, the squadron had weapons that the US army could not effectively restrain and helicopters, which was enough to change the way the battlefield was fought.
In the past, the U.S. military fought against the Germans or the Japanese, and the U.S. military could often control the air, and their air force could also strike at the enemy on the ground and give them fire support, but when they ran into the squadron, the Americans did not have this advantage.
In terms of artillery fire, the firing range of China's rocket artillery is longer than that of the US heavy howitzers, but the surface strike of rocket artillery is far superior to the point strike of ordinary artillery.
In addition, in terms of individual firepower, the firepower of the squadron is much stronger than theirs, and the fully automatic weapon is not comparable to the semi-automatic weapon, but the comprehensive quality of the US military is higher than that of the Chinese soldiers, so the two are largely offset.
However, the Chinese side also has a big killer helicopter, at the same time that no one can grasp the air supremacy, this weapon is very important, he can help the squadron firmly control the air power, and although he has to be not as high as the fighter, but their accuracy in the strike is much higher than that of the fighter, and they can support the ground forces anytime and anywhere,
In addition, helicopters join the operation, so that the US military can not concentrate on dealing with the Chinese army, in short, they must abandon the Chinese army to deal with helicopters, and wait for the Chinese army to kill, and if they concentrate on dealing with the army, it will also be miserable, helicopters will strafe bullets or fire rockets on their heads,
"Quick, evacuate, the Chinese are coming." A group of US officers and soldiers shouted, they were too afraid of the Chinese thing called a helicopter, and the general anti-aircraft fire could not help others, so the US military only had to be beaten,
After a day of fierce fighting and pursuit, except for two or three thousand American troops who swam across the Tanano River, the rest of the American troops were killed and wounded, surrendered and surrendered, and of course the wounded were naturally captured.
At this moment, the squadron took the north bank of the Tanano River, and the big delta could be seen from more than ten meters away, and the faces of the American troops could be seen from the telescope.
At this time, the squadron did not attack again, and the US army did not attack, and the two sides seemed to be waiting for something,
The squadron was waiting for backups, and at the same time they wanted how to cross the river, while the American army was thinking about how to defend, and the fall of the north of Tanano River made them very frightened.
Vincent now has no idea how long they can hold the south of the Tanano River, and it was expected that it would not be a problem to hold in Hebei for half a month, but the bridge was blown up, and then he changed it to a month, but he didn't expect it to be done by the Chinese in one day, so he doesn't know what to think about it now, it seems that the most reasonable place for all this is that everything is unreasonable,
