Chapter 587: The Battle (8)

"Urgent reinforcements requested! I ask for emergency support! After seeing all kinds of vehicles and officers and soldiers of the US military rushing over the mountains and fields, Wang Cheng, who was frightened and kept twitching out of the corners of his eyes, took the phone and desperately asked his commander for reinforcements. The number of enemies www.biquge.info so many is unprecedented.

"There are no more reinforcements." His company commander responded on the phone: "Lao Tzu is next to you right now!" The regimental commander was in front of me! Now there are no reinforcements, you figure it out yourself! ”

"Hey?!" Wang Cheng had a circled expression on his face: "How can I think of a way?" Feed? Feed?! ”

"Phew!" Wang Cheng hung up the phone vigorously, turned around angrily and shouted, "Brothers, there are no reinforcements, let's fight to the death here!" ”

There are simply too many Americans. As far as the eye could see, there were rows of various vehicles and groups of US officers and soldiers. They are scattered all over the mountains, and there is almost no end in sight at a glance.

As the ground boiled, the sky exploded.

After making his decision, Bradley had already issued an order for all the aviation forces in the surrounding area to join the operation. All sorts of fighters, bombers and even reconnaissance planes poured out. Whether it's jets or pistons, all of them are rushing wildly.

Correspondingly, after the Ming army saw enemy fighters flying over with a whole screen on its air defense early warning radar station, it immediately issued a final general ******. All available planes rushed into the air to meet the battle.

In the skies between Los Angeles and San Diego, the dense fleet between the two sides was almost thousands at its peak. With so many warplanes crowded into the airspace, it seemed so dense that it was like a dark cloud in the sky that was constantly changing shapes.

There are so many fighters between the two sides that even some tactics cannot be used, and the two sides even have the most primitive ramming tactics.

Neither the Ming army nor the US army now has little hope for air power in the sky. They're fighting even more intensely now than on the ground. And the artillery of both sides is still suppressing each other, and it will be impossible to provide support to the front-line troops in a short time. In this case, the two sides can only rely on their own strength to fight.

"Fire!"

"Boom!" Wang Cheng's Leopard tank suddenly ignited, and an armor-piercing bullet flew quickly into the queue of American troops in the distance. Now the distance between the two sides is even more than a kilometer, but Wang Cheng can't wait to open fire. The number of American troops put great pressure on the Ming army.

Although it cannot be compared to the Tiger Heavy Tank in terms of armor, the Leopard's firepower and mobility are very powerful. In particular, its main gun is an L71 x diameter 88 mm gun, which can even penetrate the front armor of the T34 at a distance of three thousand meters. There are also no problems dealing with Shermans in the US military.

Not only Wang Cheng's position, but also the entire Ming army front was full of dense fires. The Ming army, which had a lot of heavy firepower, began to put up a desperate resistance.

On the first line of the Ming army, there was about an infantry division and half an armored division stationed. After continuous battles, the losses were not small. Although it has been replenished, the front-line troops are still seriously reduced. Just like the position where Wang Cheng was located, his Leopard was lucky and never destroyed. But the infantry who fought with him suffered heavy losses.

Not to mention the loss of those artillery and other heavy weapons, the personnel here alone have been rotated several times due to casualties. In the face of the general attack of the American army, the front commander of the Ming army quickly mobilized a large number of reinforcements to the front line for reinforcements. The two sides engaged in fierce battles on the front lines of the battlefield, and at the same time both sides paid a great price.

The US officers and soldiers who adopted a dense attack queue fell to the ground almost layer by layer under the heavy blows of the Ming army. Because the formation was too dense, their corpses were even stacked one after another, and in some places the corpses piled up as high as their waists.

Some U.S. soldiers who hunched over and kept moving forward were easily slipped. Because the ground has been stained with blood, and even a pool of blood has formed everywhere. Many of the various armored vehicles of the US army destroyed by the anti-armor weapons of the Ming army emitted black smoke and flames, and became the hiding place of many American wounded. After being dragged behind the debris, they began to cry and seek help from the medics, and the mournful shouts made many American officers and soldiers shudder.

Bradley has adopted a wave-style attack. He set out his troops in divisions in rows and launched an attack on the Ming position. Before the troops in front had finished their attacks, the troops behind had already followed. This type of dense attack will put a lot of pressure on the defenders. Of course, the price to be paid is also enormous.

"There are no more shells!" The loader's shout made Wang Cheng, who was leaning out half of his body and operating the machine gun on the turret to shoot at the American infantry, slightly stunned, and then hurriedly turned his head to the position on the side and shouted loudly, "Is there anyone else?!" Is there anything alive!? ”

The gunsmoke-filled position was full of blazing firelight, and the originally clear sky was now dark. The sound of gunfire, the roar of engines, the wails of the wounded, and the shouts of killing were all over the place. Everyone who was in it fell into an inexplicable mood.

Two Ming infantry ran out of the smoke, and they looked up at Wang Cheng on the leopard turret and shouted, "What's the matter?" ”

"The tank is out of shells! Help get the shells! "Wang Cheng received a lot of supplies from the quartermaster's department, and artillery shells were the top priority. Many shells were not placed directly inside the tank, which had a limited capacity. Many shells were placed under a rubble near the tank. There was a big pit that had been dug out there. An infantryman was there guarding the ammunition at all times. All the spare supplies for this position are stored here.

The gunners and loaders inside the tank also climbed out of the tank and reloaded the tank with the help of the infantrymen. Wang Cheng and the driver used vehicle-mounted machine guns and coaxial machine guns to fire fiercely at the US infantry.

"Ensign!" The telegraph man shouted: "The company headquarters said that the position on the left side of our company has been breached!" ”

"What?" Wang Cheng hurriedly turned his head and looked towards the left side of the position. Two U.S. tanks and dozens of U.S. soldiers had already passed through a crossing dozens of meters away and rushed into the Ming army's position. It was evident that the two sides were engaged in the most brutal melee battle.

Wang Cheng just wanted to transfer some troops to support the left side, but suddenly found that a Pershing and more than 20 American officers and soldiers appeared on the opposite side! The distance between them is very close, but only a few tens of meters!

Because the situation on the battlefield is very complicated, there are destroyed equipment and materials and billowing smoke everywhere. This Pershing had just rushed out of the smoke but suddenly found that there was a Ming tank with only the turret exposed in the pile of ruins in front of him, and the long barrel on the turret of that tank was facing him directly!

Frightened, Pershing hurriedly fired a shot, but unsurprisingly missed. Then when the American armored soldiers in Pershing were tremblingly waiting for the Ming army to counterattack, they found that the Ming army did not have the slightest movement. As the distance approached, Pershing fired straight again at a very close distance, hitting the Panther frontal turret directly.

Theoretically, the Pershing's 90-millimeter gun was enough to penetrate the frontal armor of the Panther turret at such a close distance. But to the surprise of the American armored troops, the Leopard tank was not penetrated. The Leopard turret was still shaking slightly.

The American armored corps quickly made a decision to bypass the attack from the flank of this Ming Leopard tank. It was here that Pershing began to detour, but the machine guns on the Leopard tanks of the Ming army rang out. Machine guns, which are useless against armored vehicles, are an unscrupulous weapon of mass destruction against infantry that accompanies tank combat.

More than a dozen U.S. infantrymen who accompanied the battle fell in a pool of blood immediately after being covered by a rain of bullets. The rest of the U.S. infantry was immediately frightened and crawled around hiding. The enraged Pershing driver stepped on the accelerator and jumped over numerous obstacles to get behind the Leopard tank, turning the turret to deliver a fatal blow to the Leopard tank at a distance of just over ten meters.

However, just when this Pershing had just turned the turret around. On the left side of Pershing, in the midst of the ruins made of wooden planks and stones, two Ming officers and soldiers suddenly stood up, both carrying anti-armor bazookas on their shoulders!

The two Ming officers and soldiers were less than ten meters away from Pershing, and they were still facing Pershing's weak side armor at the moment.

The final result was no surprise, Pershing, who was hit by two rockets on the weak armor on the side, was instantly destroyed, and the Leopard tank was saved.

However, this is only temporary. Several Ming soldiers who had gone to fetch shells hurriedly ran back to prepare to load the ammunition on the Leopard tank, but a dense rain of bullets from the left side of the position knocked them to the ground.

Wang Cheng, whose eyes were red, roared angrily and tried to turn the muzzle of his gun to take revenge, but was forced to hurriedly hide in the turret by a dense burst of bullets and sparks splashed in the turret.

More than a dozen infantry from the American troops who had previously broken through the left flank position of Wang Cheng's company rushed over. They surrounded the Leopard tanks as they fired. However, the infantrymen lacked heavy anti-tank weapons, so they climbed onto the tanks and prepared to pry open the turret hatch and destroy the tank with grenades.

Wang Cheng had already pulled out his gun and was ready to resist until the last moment, his loader and gunner had fallen in a pool of blood before, and he was the only one left in the turret to fight.

Just as these American troops were about to pry open the hatch, several Ming tanks drove over on the Ming army position behind them. The dense bullets swept by, and more than a dozen American infantrymen fell to the ground in a cloud of blood mist.

In the rear of the Ming position, a large group of dense armored troops rushed over with a bang, and the counterattack troops of the Ming army arrived. (To be continued.) )
