"Look over there!" On an American position outside Richmond, several American soldiers shouted loudly and shouted loudly as they stretched out their hands to the sky. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The other US officers and soldiers on the position were attracted by the sound and looked up into the distant sky. I saw that in the distant sky, groups of planes appeared densely. The sheer number of them is simply too numerous to calculate. It was the aviation unit of the Daming Army Aviation.

At this time, due to long-term combat consumption and the location of a large number of factories and raw materials, the US military's aircraft production, especially the production of new jet fighters, was in a difficult situation. The number of battle losses was greatly reduced, and at this time it was no longer able to compete with the Ming army for air supremacy.

At this moment, these aircraft groups flying in the sky are the air transport units of the Ming army, and they are here to provide material support for the Ming army besieged on the front line.

About 300 Ming army transport planes, under the cover of more than 100 fighters, dropped more than 1,000 tons of supplies on the southern area of Richmond. Because the actual area controlled by the Ming army at the moment was not large, most of the supplies fell into the hands of the American army.

The elated US officers and soldiers enjoyed sharing the supplies airdropped by the Ming army at first. But as time passed, the American officers and soldiers gradually lost their initial excitement. After they checked the airdropped materials of the Ming army, they found a large amount of ammunition. These ammunition are standard equipment of the Ming army, and the US military cannot use them.

However, other supplies made the U.S. military lose their voice. All kinds of valuable medicines, sulfonamides, penicillins, and other valuable drugs that can be directly exchanged for gold on the black market are airdropped in boxes. There are also must-have cigarettes, crates of various alcoholic and soft drinks.

In addition to this, the Ming army also airdropped many luxury goods including chocolate, honey, tea, and even social magazines. And what made the U.S. military desperate the most was that they also found beautifully packaged cakes among the airdrops. The expression above shows that these cakes were made from a well-known cake shop in Daming and then airlifted to the front line.

That's nearly 20,000 kilometers away!

The mood of the US officers and men can be imagined when they see these things. Their morale also quickly dropped.

The U.S. military mobilized about 50,000 officers and men, supported by hundreds of tanks, armored vehicles, and hundreds of artillery pieces, to storm the headquarters of Li Dongguo. The battle was fierce, and both sides even engaged in hand-to-hand fighting in some positions. Within hours of the U.S. attack, Li Dongguo had lost nearly one-fifth of his troops.

The Ming army used various buildings in Richmond to build positions, and also dragged destroyed tanks and other debris into the streets to build barricades to fight the attacking American troops. The U.S. military invested a lot, but the resistance of the Ming army was very resolute. In many cases, the two sides had to fight over house after house, and the streets and buildings were littered with blood and corpses.

Smoke rose almost for a kilometer over Richmond, and countless shells fell into the city, leveling the entire city to the ground. The Ming army and the army did their best, and they desperately provided air support to the trapped troops, filling the sky almost at all moments. The maximum attendance rate is as high as thousands.

The outstanding support of the Ming Army successfully helped the besieged troops resist the offensive of the American army. But when it gets dark, there's nothing they can do.

As night fell, the artillery fire of the American army suddenly became intense, and shells flew in droves towards the Ming positions. Its bright spots can be seen even from more than ten kilometers away. A large number of American officers and soldiers roared and followed the numerous armored units to rush to the Ming positions, trying to resolve the battle through night fighting.

The Ming army, on the other hand, used all the remaining tanks as fixed points of fire. House by house, block by block, and the U.S. military fought over and over again. The fierce fighting between the two sides was very brutal.

On this night, the rest of the 1st Armored Group of the Ming Army, which had been redeployed, also launched a night attack, trying to fully break through the James River and go to Richmond to rescue Li Dongguo's headquarters. The Ming army used hundreds of self-propelled artillery to launch a fierce artillery attack on the temporary positions of the American troops, blowing up the American positions into a pot of porridge.

Subsequently, a large number of Ming armored troops with groups of Ming infantry rushed into the positions of the American army through several bridges in the hands of the Ming army, and engaged in a fierce battle with the defenders. The U.S. military is fighting very tenaciously, and this is not a local force or a militia that has been temporarily pulled up. These are the only remaining capable combat units of the US military.

The defenders of the positions used anti-tank guns and anti-tank rocket launchers and even explosives and mines to fiercely attack the Ming armored units, inflicting great losses on the Ming army. However, no matter how brave the infantry was, they could not resist the powerful cropping forces. Therefore, the attack of the Ming army was still very smooth and broke through the defenses of the American army.

However, the U.S. forces soon sent their own armored units to counterattack, and the night troops of both sides charged back and forth in the darkness of the night, catching and killing each other. In the rain of bullets, tanks and many soldiers disappeared into the smoke.

The resistance of the American army was unexpected by the Ming army, and they originally thought that the American army had no strength to resist at this time. But the counterattack of the American army made the Ming army sober up, the war was not over, and their enemies had not given up.

The U.S. army's assault on Li Dongguo's headquarters was successfully stopped. After dawn, a large number of Ming fighters flew to the area near Richmond, bringing strong support to Li Dongguo's headquarters. The Ming Army's 1st Armored Group's attempt to break through the U.S. Army's James River defense line ultimately failed, and although they broke through the U.S. defensive positions, they failed to repel the U.S. counterattack and could only stay in place temporarily.

The next day, the fighting between the two sides became more brutal and intense. Both sides were well aware of the importance of time and did not hesitate to attack again.

In the course of this day, more than 150,000 troops from both sides have been put into battle, and the number is still increasing. The reason why the U.S. military is so desperate is to buy time for the politicians in Washington to flee to the North.

At this time, everyone knew that the outcome of the war was decided, but the dignitaries were unwilling to admit defeat. They tried to keep stalling, even if it was just for a day, than to be a prisoner. In this case, the US military, which received stern orders, had to fight to the death.

The army of this era has been developed to the extreme in all aspects. Strict adherence to orders has become a hallmark of the army. Even though many of the soldiers were reluctant to continue fighting, they had no choice.

The next day, the U.S. forces fiercely besieged Li Dongguo's headquarters, and nearly half of his troops had been lost. Almost all tanks and armored vehicles have been lost, and various supplies are gradually beginning to run short. They may not be able to hold out until the third day.

The Ming Army's 1st Panzer Group fought desperately, successfully advancing the battle line for nearly ten kilometers, and they could even see the outlying city of Richmond with gunpowder smoke and flames reaching into the sky. However, the U.S. army continued to invest in armored troops and infantry to carry out fierce counterattacks, and finally blocked the Ming army's rescue corps.

That night, Li Dongguo sent a telegram to Jun Mo in his temporary headquarters, saying that he would live and die with the troops and would never be a prisoner of war for the US army. And Jun Mo called him back and scolded him, saying that it was not yet time to be loyal to the country, and the reinforcements would arrive tomorrow!

Jun Mo is not comforting Li Dongguo, it is really that the reinforcements will arrive tomorrow.

This support force is not Junmo's first armored group. The strength in his hand at the moment has been used to the extreme, and the power that can be used has been used, and he has no choice for the time being. Reinforcements are still available, though. That was the Second Armored Cluster that had been killed from Western Virginia.

This equally powerful force, after learning that the 1st Panzer Group was in danger, did not take the opportunity to kill Washington, which was empty, but chose to come to the rescue at high speed.

The distance from the 2nd Panzer Group to Richmond was just over 100 kilometers, which was not too far for a powerful armored force. In particular, most of the U.S. capable combat units had already been transferred to fight near Richmond at this time. The forces blocking in front of the 2nd Panzer Group were not strong.

Sure enough, when the time came to the third day, the besieged Li Dongguo's headquarters had been compressed into a small area, and the troops and materials had reached their limits. The 2nd Panzer Group, which had come from the west, managed to break the American blockade and rushed into the city of Richmond.

At this time, all the forces that the U.S. military could use had been used to besiege Li Dongguo and block the first armored group. Faced with the second armored group of the new army, they had no strength to resist.

The attack of the second armored group was like hot water poured on the snow, completely crushing the resistance of the American troops who were struggling to support. The American forces on the entire front began a large-scale rout. The Ming army took advantage of the situation to pursue and eliminate a large number of captured American forces.

This time, the fierce fighting between the two sides, with hundreds of thousands of troops and thousands of tanks and armored vehicles, lasted only a few days. But the battle was fierce. The Ming army suffered heavy losses in Li Dongguo's department, and the remaining officers and soldiers after the war were less than 10,000. Li Dongguo himself was transferred to the reserve because of the rash advance of the enemy.

The losses of the 1st Panzer Group, which made every effort to rescue the besieged troops, were not small, the casualties of the officers and men were as high as tens of thousands, and the losses of equipment were also very large. In contrast, only the second armored group, which came to the rescue, suffered smaller losses and won a decisive victory.

About 200,000 U.S. troops were lost in the engagement. Most of them were the last elite units of the U.S. military to defend Washington. Its air power and armored units also suffered heavy losses in this battle.

After the fierce battle of Richmond, there was no resistance from strong forces on the way of the Ming army to Washington. They are about to enter this city of great significance. (To be continued.) )
