Because of the wanton bombardment of the Ming army, most of the buildings in the headquarters building of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet have become a ruin. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 But the ruins became a much more fortified defensive position.

When the officers and soldiers of the 152nd Mechanized Infantry Division of the Ming Army rushed to the building under the cover of tanks, the defenders stationed here bombarded the Ming army's attack line with heavy artillery fire, bringing great losses to the Ming army.

Especially those new 90-millimeter anti-tank guns of the American army. With the use of new armor-piercing shells, it was possible to pose a serious threat to the Tiger and Leopard tanks of the Ming army at a distance of five hundred meters.

On the morning of 8 December, more than 1,000 officers and men of the 451st Mechanized Infantry Regiment of the 152nd Mechanized Infantry Division of the Ming Army, which were the first to attack, adopted the tactic of directly attacking the main building and went straight to the central building. However, during the attack, they were flanked by the defenders hidden in the auxiliary buildings on both sides.

Numerous anti-tank guns and Point 30 machine guns crippled the attacking troops of the 451st Regiment in less than thirty minutes. More than two dozen tanks were all destroyed, and the casualties were in the hundreds. The Ming attack queue was forced to retreat.

After a short rest, the Ming army used a large number of artillery to retaliate and attack, and contacted the aircraft carrier fleet on the sea, and more than 30 very bombers flew to the battlefield and baptized the defenders' positions again with heavy bombs.

"Squad leader, did you say there are still living people over there?" On the starting position of the Ming army, a young soldier looked at the American position in the distance, which was shrouded in gunsmoke and flames, and smacked his tongue and asked.

"Won't you know when you get up?" The non-commissioned officer who was leaning back against the foxhole lowered his head, smoked a cigarette, sorted out the weapons in his hand, looked at the soldiers lying on the edge of the foxhole and watched the bombing, and said, "Don't look at it, hurry up and organize your equipment." Eat more and drink some water. There's no time to wait for the attack. ”

"Oh." The young soldier nodded, retreated into the foxhole, and began to prepare for the attack.

"Boy, think more about how you train when you're training." The non-commissioned officer took a hard puff of his cigarette and said, "Although it is said that bullets don't grow eyes on the battlefield, if you are smart enough, the chances of bullets finding you will be much smaller." Don't stand up straight, and don't stay in the open for long. If you find yourself under attack, find a hidden spot as soon as possible. Don't count on tanks and armored vehicles. They have big goals, and it's even more dangerous to stay by their side. ”

"Oh." The young soldier nodded vigorously. This is the way to survive on the battlefield, and no brave soldier will easily joke with his life. No one wants to actually die on the battlefield.

Soon, the Ming army attacked again. This time the scale was obviously much stronger, not only did the 451st Regiment press two battalions, but the 452nd Regiment also sent a battalion to serve as an assist on the flank, and at the same time, the division headquarters also sent the combat brigade directly under it.

Thousands of Ming officers and soldiers rushed to the defenders' positions almost on the spot of the cannonballs after the trumpet sounded. They targeted the ancillary buildings on either side of the main building, the two four-story wings.

The U.S. position, which was as silent as if it had died during the Ming bombardment, suddenly came to life after the Ming army's charging team entered the firing range. A dense rain of bullets poured down like water. Many Ming officers and soldiers fell on the way to the attack.

As the non-commissioned officer had said, the tall tank was the main target. More than twenty tanks and more than two dozen armored vehicles of the combat group were destroyed one by one by anti-tank artillery concealed in cramped bunkers. And the heavy machine guns of the US army also tend to sweep in the area near the tank.

After paying a great price, the Ming army finally broke into the two wings. Immediately began to clear the defenders layer by layer. Both sides used various weapons to fight brutally in the building. The sound of gunfire, explosions was deafening. The battle in the level did not end until more than an hour later.

Thousands of defenders were almost wiped out. During the attack on the wing, the defenders attempted to send reinforcements from the main building to support them. However, it was discovered by a Ming army attack force at the window of the floor. Three MG42 machine guns were erected in the windows and fired heavily at the defenders' support units, and nearly two hundred defenders fell on the way to reinforcements and eventually had to give up.

The casualties of the Ming army in the morning attack were close to 2,000, and they had not yet begun their assault on the main building. However, the capture of the wing also allowed the Ming army to attack at close range, as well as provide cover. The situation has also changed a lot better.

At noon, more than 6,000 officers and men of the 7th Combat Engineer Brigade of the Ming Army drove into the two wings, and they launched a fierce attack on the main building without even having lunch. The Ming command has issued a stern order that it must be completely captured by 12 a.m. to end the battle of San Diego.

Fierce fighting was raging in the Mexicali area on both sides of the front, and troops and supplies were urgently needed. The Port of San Diego's timely launch of the battle under the docking had an important impact. Under the cover of a large number of machine guns and artillery, the officers and men of the elite 7th Combat Engineer Brigade set out from the wing tower and launched a surprise attack on the main building under the dense fire of the US troops.

The defenders covered the building with barbed wire, bunkers, and bunkers, and all the windows of the building were sealed with bricks, so that no one looked like there was any, but in fact they all had guns. When the troops of the 7th Combat Engineer Brigade rushed to the front of the building, tongues of fire erupted from all over the building, and many brave officers and soldiers were knocked to the ground.

At this time, the Ming army transferred its own special combat vehicles. This was a modification of the Tiger tank with huge armor plates in front of it to resist the fire of the defenders. More than a dozen of these specially modified vehicles successfully pulled out a road close to the main building for the follow-up troops. However, by this time, the main entrance of the building had already been completely blocked, and the Ming army had to find a new way to attack.

With unprecedentedly powerful fire support, dozens of officers and soldiers piled up thousands of kilograms of high military explosives by the wall, and blasted a huge gap in the main building with fierce blasting. Immediately, many Ming officers and soldiers rushed in through the gap. A tragic close-quarters bloody battle began.

The Ming army captured a number of prisoners near the blast site, including a deputy commander of the defending army. The defenders were stunned by the violent explosion because they were too close to the blast point. However, after that, due to the fierce fighting between the two sides, the casualties increased rapidly, and the officers and soldiers who had already killed red-eyed did not capture prisoners on a large scale.

Subsequently, the Ming army used blasting in many places to open the passage into the main building, and a large number of troops entered the main building. However, the defenders condescendingly organized a dense network of fire, using machine guns, mortars and even 20 mm aerial guns to fire at the Ming army.

Although the defenders' heavy firepower was quickly suppressed, the Ming casualties were rapidly increasing.

The Ming army has already stormed the main building, but the defenders are still resisting layer by layer. And the building is very huge, and the Ming army is not familiar with the terrain. It is not uncommon for a single machine gun to block an entire corridor. The Ming army, which attacked the main building, was unable to achieve a decisive victory.

Time passed little by little amid the sound of gunfire, and the sun was gradually setting in the west, and it was about to get dark. Look at the casualty figures that keep coming up. Major General Zhang Hua, the commander of the 7th Combat Engineer Brigade of the Ming Army, could not hold back any longer, he personally picked up the submachine gun, carried 20 magazines on his back and rushed into the main building with the reserves.

At the same time, the 152nd Infantry Division also sent their reserve, the 453rd Infantry Regiment, to join the attack. The addition of these new forces brought the last straw that crushed the scale of victory in a stalemate of the battle.

The Ming army began to launch a strong offensive regardless of casualties. Many times, the entire corridor was littered with corpses, and many officers and soldiers slipped and fell frequently. Because the ground was soaked with blood, it was almost to the point of no feet.

According to the soldiers' post-war recollections, there were many places where they could not pass because of the blockade of the US machine guns, and the officers and men of the Ming Dynasty carried them with their flesh and blood until the US troops replaced the bullets before they succeeded in breaking through. One can imagine what kind of casualties the Ming army paid in the battle.

As the Ming army continued to advance, the defenders were divided into two parts. Some retreated to the upper floors, while others were stationed in the sturdy basement.

The Ming army used heavy weapons, including flamethrowers and bazookas, in the cramped environment of the building. Even a series of large-scale demolition operations were carried out directly inside the building without regard for the danger.

The defenders usually have the entire position and the entire position being disposed of. The building was littered with red blood, broken limbs, scattered weapon parts, and all sorts of other messes.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, the last defenders were forced to the top floor and basement. The Ming army officially launched the final general attack at nine o'clock. The Pyros with fuel canisters on their backs were at the forefront, using flamethrowers to rush to the front, not caring about the danger of being hit.

From the outside, the entire building seems to be burning, like the brightest beacon of light.

The battle was finally over at half past nine in the evening. More than 7,000 defenders were basically wiped out. The few rooms that were still resisting were no longer important to the overall situation of the battle. The Ming army finally took the iconic building, and the fleets wandering the open sea were finally able to enter the port.

In this tragic battle, the 152nd Mechanized Infantry Division of the Ming Army lost more than 3,000 officers and soldiers. The 7th Combat Engineer Brigade, which was tasked with the main attack, was almost disabled, and the number of casualties among officers and men was as high as nearly 4,000. When the battlefield was cleaned up after the war, this building was called the Red Mansion and the Blood Building by the Ming officers and soldiers. Because the whole building has been drowned in blood.

After the Ming army took San Diego, the entire southern region of California was basically devoid of American troops to resist in formation. In the end, Bradley's troops were unable to break through the blockade of the Ming army and were forced to retreat to the south of Mexico.

Most of this American army was surrounded and annihilated. Only a handful of people were able to escape the Gulf of California by air and night boats, and the fighting in southern California was officially over. (To be continued.) )
