If it was used for fortifications, it would be difficult for 75mm shells to cause much damage to even the most basic trench fortifications, but now that the target is the infantry who are unprotected and uncovered in the charge, the lethality is very great. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoConsidering the disparity in exchange between the two sides, it was well worth it even if the heavy losses were caused by the counterattack of the enemy artillery.

Speaking of which, it is really thanks to the timely lying down of the infantry of the Heavenly Punishment Column, the large enough distance between the queues, and the fact that the attack point is far more than here, which greatly disperses the artillery fire of the American army, so although many people have never been able to stand up after lying down, there are still many people who jumped up again and continued to rush forward in the gap after the shell exploded!

Seeing the enemy so brave, many new recruits of the American army were frightened, and even forgot to fight back, and this is when a veteran like Jerry showed his effect, although he usually spread negative remarks, but when the enemy rushed in front of him, his counterattack was more resolute than any of his comrades!

"Da da da", the submachine gun in Jerry's hand fired, with a rate of fire of 500 rounds / min, the magazine was emptied in just a few seconds, dozens of bullets whistled out, and knocked down several enemy soldiers in the charge at once, in the face of such automatic weapons, the advantage of biochemical skills and tactics was far from enough to balance the disadvantage of being too large by the bullet surface when charging, and inevitably suffered a big loss, killing and wounding 4 people in just one strafing shot, while Jerry was uninjured because of the cover of the crater.

Seeing Jerry so brave, the remnants of the American troops in this platoon were all demoralized, and they all picked up their submachine guns and fired fiercely at the enemy. You can only lie down temporarily to avoid the bullets and wait for the support of your own artillery fire.

Finding such a terrible enemy actually confessed, there was a burst of laughter on the American position, and some people even whistled, but Jerry immediately realized the danger, he unexpectedly rolled back to the trench from the crater where he was, and shouted that his comrades who had drilled into the crater before would also come back with him, "Come back, the Chinese are going to shell!" ”

The four American GIs in the crater couldn't help but be confused, they had ventured into the crater to prevent being killed by the enemy's shelling, why did the enemy want to shell again, and Jerry wanted everyone to go back to the trenches again?

As a result, except for Tom, who had the highest identification with Jerry, the other three all hesitated for a moment and did not go back immediately, and then immediately they understood why Jerry did that, only to see that a moment later, the enemy 60mm mortar, which had moved a lot forward, opened fire again, and the target of the attack was precisely those five craters! As a result, there was no suspense, and the three American soldiers who did not return to the trenches in time were all killed on the spot!

After solving the American troops in those craters, the 60mm mortars of the Heavenly Punishment Column hit the trench where Jerry and Tom hid again, but the two had retreated to the trench behind through the traffic trench, and the trench network area was very large, the personnel density was not high, and they were all dug into a zigzag shape to limit the killing range of shrapnel in the trench, if you can't see the specific location of the personnel, it is impossible to eliminate them all anyway, although the high casualty rate is unavoidable, But the survival rate is much higher than staying in the five craters that have already been targeted and being set on fire.

In any case, after paying a great price, the infantry of the Heavenly Punishment Column still rushed to the position of the American army, and the barbed wire fence that had just been re-erected was easily broken, and these extremely fierce infantry jumped down after confirming that there were no traps in the trenches, and then broke into the depth of the American position!

At this time, Jerry asked everyone to evacuate this line of defense immediately, and retreat to the second line of defense in one breath, and the platoon commander, who was seriously injured but had not yet breathed, became anxious, "Are you crazy?" If you run away, you'll be shot by the Overseers! ”

Jerry had no choice but to stay, but soon everyone understood why he had to withdraw from this position, after entering the American trenches, those biochemical soldiers also had fortifications to cover, and they had the upper hand when firing, and what was even more terrifying was that some of the soldiers' grenades were thrown far and accurately, and even pinched the time, so that the grenades exploded above everyone's heads, which was too amazing!

After a while, the only remaining 9 lucky people in this platoon broke 5 more, and the platoon commander, who was already not lightly injured, was hit hard, and he knew that he was going to die, and remembered Jerry's words just now, and sighed deeply in his heart, and said his last order to the three subordinates in the platoon who could still run, "You retreat, when you see the warlord, just say that it is my order, maybe it won't embarrass you......"

But this order is actually unnecessary, because other positions may not also have veterans like Jerry who are well aware of the enemy's offensive methods and capabilities to offer advice, so they often fall earlier, and after the positions on both sides are captured by the enemy, this position is attacked on three sides, and it cannot be held in any case, what other way is there but to give up? You must know that although the U.S. government has promulgated a new military law that punishes deserters and surrenderers to the enemy very severely, because the United States advocates the cultural habit of freedom, the actual implementation is still relatively flexible.

Realizing that the first line of defense was no longer possible, even though Jerry's platoon was almost dead, the rear did not send reinforcements. In fact, the command of the U.S. 12th Army originally had a plan for the loss of part of the defensive line, but it was only worried that it would affect the combat will of the troops below after it was made public, so it limited the scope of transmission, but even so, those officers and soldiers who had done their best could be treated well after they were withdrawn, Jerry, Tom and another survivor were not only not punished, but also received orders to withdraw to the city for repairs, and they also escaped the catastrophe as a result......

The wishful thinking of the U.S. 12th Army Command was to use multiple lines of defense to consume the enemy's limited ammunition and troops, and then launch a large-scale counterattack after it became a strong crossbow. But what they didn't expect was that the speed of the Heavenly Punishment Column to break through their own defense line was so fast, and what was especially worse was that because the enemy's artillery fire was too fierce, the American army would be instantly defeated every time it charged, and as a result, once they lost their position, it was almost impossible to regain it, which caused the battle line to approach the city of Pittsburgh at a speed beyond the expectations of the American army......
