Chapter 401: The Pittsburgh Meat Grinder (4)
The only thing that makes the US 12th Army Command happy is that, according to the figures reported by the various departments, the enemy's casualties and ammunition consumption are very large, considering that this formidable enemy has been fighting in the hinterland of the United States for many days, the US 12th Army Command believes that the enemy's current fierce offensive is the last madness, as long as it persists a little longer, the final victory must belong to the United States of America!
But what these Americans don't know is that they only guessed half right, the casualties of the Heavenly Punishment Column are indeed very large, and the number of dead and seriously injured people who have been abandoned exceeds 4,000 people, and it is indeed difficult to continue the offensive under normal circumstances, but the "doppelganger" of Li Hui has recruited 10,000 new Level 1 infantry in the past few days, and the biochemical soldiers do not need officers to take the lead to motivate morale, and generally there will be no large number of officers dying, and it is these cannon fodder that need to be supplemented, Therefore, the available soldiers of the Heavenly Punishment Column have not actually been reduced much......
As for ammunition, it is even more inexhaustible; although due to the soaring prices of gold and silver, the prices of system products have increased a lot in disguise, but with the completion of all the research on industrial science and technology, the cost of products has been significantly reduced, and in particular, the substantial increase in the "scale effect" has greatly reduced the cost of such bulk products as munitions. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info What's more, no matter how expensive weapons and ammunition are, they are far from being comparable to the cost of recruiting biochemical soldiers, since Li Hui is willing to recruit 10,000 or even more biochemical soldiers in order to take Pittsburgh, how can he be stingy with this ammunition cost?
As a result, the U.S. military could only watch in astonishment and despair as the Chinese army marched all the way into the city, and then quickly advanced towards the industrial area with its customary "wall through alley warfare". However, this is not the first time that the US military has seen this strange method of fighting, and it has also explored some targeted defense methods, such as abandoning the construction of barricades that are not very useful under this method of operation and will hinder the movement of troops, and deploying troops on high-rise buildings to condescendingly block the streets with firepower, and so on.
However, the mission of the Heavenly Punishment Column this time was not to occupy the whole city, but only to destroy the industrial area of Pittsburgh, and the mission of this campaign was crucial, and for this reason, they did not care about their own casualties, so after encountering these obstacles that had some headaches before, the cyborg soldiers chose an extremely simple and crude method of warfare......
"The Chinese are calling for fire support from long-range heavy artillery? They don't want to die! With the power of 8-inch heavy artillery, they themselves will be in danger! Jerry, who has been promoted to a platoon commander by leapfrogging the line of fire, saw the terrifying smoke column rising in the distance on the roof of the building, his face became pale when he boarded, the 210mm caliber high-explosive bomb is not a joke, the vision in the urban area is not good, unless he can occupy the commanding heights like the building he is in, he can only guide the artillery to attack targets very close to him, and the possibility of accidentally injuring himself is very high, but the Chinese still did this, this attitude of not taking his life seriously made Jerry's heart cold.
And what makes Jerry even more tremble is that this attitude reflects the determination and confidence of the enemy commander in this battle, the commander of this army cannot be a madman or a fool who sacrifices the lives of soldiers casually, otherwise they will not be replenished by any personnel in the deep battle alone, and they should have been wiped out by their own army a long time ago, then their current crazy approach can only be attributed to their determination to win this battle, and they should also have a great degree of certainty, and they can win the victory through tragic sacrifices. After thinking about this, Jerry's face became even more gloomy, and he was now really worried that he would lose all his comrades like before......
However, this time Jerry seemed to be very lucky, and the Heavenly Punishment Column did not attack his direction, although the building where Jerry's platoon was stationed was in a straight line from the Heavenly Punishment Column's attack point to the industrial area. This is because Li Hui believes that the Americans will inevitably deploy heavy troops on this line, so he asked the Heavenly Punishment Column not to blindly walk in a straight line, but to go around it appropriately, and as a result, Jerry and the others were lucky to escape.
However, the commander of the US 12th Army was now extremely disappointed, the enemy's unexpected attack route did not allow his deployment to give full play to the planned effect, and the enemy's desperate and desperate advance made him even more overwhelmed, according to the report of the troops below, in less than an hour, the enemy would enter the industrial area! However, His Excellency the Army Admiral could not think of any way to stop them, the frontal defense was completely shattered under the washing of the 210mm heavy guns, and the flank attack was inflicted heavy casualties under the enemy's fierce and accurate firepower, there was no way at all!
"That's not right!" , The frustrated and desperate Mr. General suddenly felt a thrill in his heart, and realized what he felt weird, "The key is not these, but that the enemy actually has enough troops to protect the side!" There are definitely more than 30,000 of them, so it is, this is simply a big scam, they have been hiding their strength all this time, and it was not until this decisive battle that all their strength was revealed, and we were completely deceived! However, it is hard to believe that an army of 450,000 men, or maybe even more, can come and go freely in the hinterland of our country. Or are we too weak? ”
After hearing the speculation of the commander of the 12th Army on the phone, Theodore Roosevelt couldn't help but tremble, and the microphone in his hand almost fell to the ground. Although the President then went to great lengths to order the 12th Army to prevent the enemy from entering the industrial zone, no matter how strong they were, Theodore Roosevelt then demanded that Pittsburgh's business management and technical personnel be evacuated immediately, clearly showing that there was no hope for this goal......
On September 21, after an unprecedented sacrifice, the Celestial Punishment Column finally entered the industrial area of Pittsburgh, where the horizon was even more open, and the blast furnaces of the American Steel Company could be seen from afar, and the biochemical troops finally no longer had to send the observations to the rear artillery positions that were almost equivalent to "fire at me". Even if the buildings in the industrial zone are of higher standard, they can not withstand the saturation attack of 210mm heavy artillery, and under the continuous terrorist shelling, the blast furnaces and steelmaking furnaces that support the huge industrial system of the United States have collapsed and turned into ruins, and the ranking of the world's first in the American steel industry has since become history!
