Chapter 399: The Pittsburgh Meat Grinder (2)

Not long after the Chinese artillery opened fire, the American artillery was still colored, and the incessant roar of the American soldiers in the trench lifted their spirits, but Jerry frowned and scolded, "The enemy infantry has not yet gone up, what are you doing in a hurry to open the artillery to expose the position?" Do you hit the ball at this distance? ”

However, the artillery bombardment of the US army really made the Chinese artillery silent for a while, but the cheers of countless US officers and soldiers on the position had not completely subsided, and when we saw that the "Chinese artillery position" and several other positions suddenly flashed a little fire, Jerry suddenly felt a chill in his heart and sighed, "Sure enough, it is a decoy, the quality of Chinese artillery and artillery is better than ours, at this distance, it is difficult for us to calculate the exact position of the enemy's artillery, especially just now in a hurry to open artillery, worried that the enemy will shift the position, it will be even more missable." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info But we can't hit the enemy, but the enemy can hit us, so it's too much of a loss to shoot like this, why can't the artillerymen learn a long lesson? ”

What Jerry said is certainly reasonable, but the US artillery unit has suffered such a loss more than once, how could it not be imagined? It's just that the most important task of the Pittsburgh campaign is to hold the city, especially the industrial area, and for this reason it is necessary to get rid of the heavy artillery of the Heavenly Punishment Column, even if this kind of exchange ratio is not cost-effective, the US government also thinks that it is worth it, because after all, the enemy has only tens of thousands of people, and it is reasonable to say that there cannot be many large-caliber heavy artillery, and it is still a lone army that goes deep without backup, destroying one less and one less, on the contrary, the field artillery of the US army can be continuously replenished, and its own number is much more than that of the enemy. It's enough to wipe out the enemy's long-range heavy artillery, and as long as this goal is achieved, even if the losses are greater, it is worth it.

Such an idea would have been good, quite the style of the old United States during World War II in history, but they didn't know that the artillery of the Heavenly Punishment Column could actually be replenished, and in front of this unique special force, even if it was the correct tactical strategy, it might become a joke. As a result, in the intermittent long-range bombardment of almost a day and a night, more than 200 cannons of the US military were destroyed, and even with the fact that the United States is now the world's largest military industrial production capacity, it cannot be replenished in a short period of time, and as long as the Heavenly Punishment Column has that need, it can still have 24 or even more 210mm heavy howitzers available......

When the artillerymen showed their skills, the infantry of the Heavenly Punishment Column was not idle, considering that Miss 75 was very lethal to the infantry in the charge, they did not dare to rush directly to the American position, but patiently dug trenches and approached their targets little by little. However, although the US military has not yet been equipped with mortars, some people have already invented the technology of heavy machine gun curved fire, and although the bullets falling from the sky are not special heavy bullets and are not deadly enough, they are enough to injure the human body, and if they are unlucky enough to hit the weak vital parts, they will still be in danger of life, and this has caused a considerable obstacle to the excavation of the sappers of the Heavenly Punishment Column.

However, this emergency technology cannot be compared with mortars specially suitable for trench warfare, although at a long distance, even with the superb artillery skills of biochemical soldiers, it is difficult to ensure that the shells are sent into narrow trenches, but it is still much more efficient than heavy machine guns; When the distance was shortened to within 500 meters, the 60mm mortars operated by the biochemical soldiers were almost pointing anywhere, and the heavy machine guns of the US army were soon completely muted......

After discovering that the enemy's trench was beginning to develop laterally, Jerry, who knew what this meant, immediately shouted, "The enemy's small mortar is about to start shelling, and as soon as the cannon sounds, everyone rushes out and hides in the crater from the shelling just now (120mm mortar)!" ”

"Shouldn't the enemy hide in the trenches when it's shelled?" , immediately a soldier questioned.

Jerry immediately became anxious and shouted, "The Chinese's small cannons are very accurate, and now at this distance, almost every shot will fall into the trench, you should have noticed it just now, right?" Isn't it enough that all the heavy machine guns in our platoon were destroyed? To stay here is to die! It's safer to hide in the crater in front of you! ”

The American troops in the platoon were in an uproar, and the platoon commander almost pulled out his pistol and killed this guy who shook the morale of the army, but thinking that he almost died under the enemy's mortar shell just now, he was actually subconsciously persuaded by Jerry, and he didn't say anything in favor of his duties, but he didn't stop it.

Soon, the crisp sound that had just made the memory of the American army came again, and the American officers and soldiers in the trenches raised their heads in horror to look at the sky, and Jerry shouted loudly, jumped out of the trench without hesitation, and rushed to the nearest crater, Tom remembered what Jerry had said before, and rushed out with a heat in his heart, but because he did not observe in advance, he rushed into a crater only to find that it was not big enough or deep enough (82mm mortar shells exploded), either his head or feet came out, It's embarrassing......

Fortunately, a few guys who hesitated for a moment to rush out attracted the fire of the enemy on the opposite side, and Tom took the opportunity to adjust the direction in the pit (the shell crater was not a circle, but an oval. I was finally able to barely hide my body in it, and then I breathed a sigh of relief. And at this time, not counting Jerry's words, only 4 of the 11 soldiers who rushed out of the trench were still alive, and the others were a little late, and were fired by the opponent's rifle and light machine gun, and all died on the spot.

A small number of American soldiers suddenly rushed out of the trench did not interfere with the attack of the heavenly punishment column, and after the 60mm mortar fired three rounds at the forward position, it began to extend towards the rear position, and the surviving American troops in the trench finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Jerry, who knew what this meant, suddenly shrank his pupils and shouted, "The Chinese are going to charge!" ”

As soon as Jerry's words fell, countless Chinese infantry in camouflage uniforms rushed out of the trenches, and their light and heavy machine guns were so full of fire that the American troops did not dare to take the lead, whether it was in the trenches or in the craters.

At this time, the U.S. artillery roared again, although the losses in the previous battle were great, but the number of artillery that the U.S. military put into this battlefield was too much, and the long-range bombardment with the Heavenly Punishment Column before was all old-fashioned heavy artillery, and Miss 75, which had a fast rate of fire and high accuracy, was not used!
