Chapter 588: The Battle (Finale)

"Sancheng, Da Tao ......" drilled out of the turret of the Leopard tank, Wang Cheng, whose face was blue and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, looked at the loader and gunner lying in a pool of blood. The pen closed his eyes in pain www.biquge.info pain. At this moment, his emotions fell into a meltdown.

Wang Cheng's crew has been cooperating with each other for a long time, and the friendship between the crew members is also very deep. I thought I would be able to retire together after the war, but I didn't expect it to be folded here today. At this moment, Wang Cheng's heart was broken. The cruelty of war is not invariable for anyone. In the face of war, the fate of all is the same.

Keeping the human mind in a state of high tension for a long time can have very negative effects. And on the battlefield where they may die at any time, facing the comrades-in-arms who get along day and night, they become a cold corpse in an instant, which is a huge blow to the officers and soldiers on the battlefield.

Many people have a sudden nervous breakdown in the middle of a war, and it is not uncommon for them to cry out in hysteria or in their voices. At this point, they are no longer fit to continue fighting.

As the most powerful army in the world, the Ming army has arranged all specific affairs very properly. After this battle, Wang Cheng was transferred out of the front-line combat unit and received psychological treatment after being promoted to the rank of lieutenant. He was then sent back to his homeland to serve as an instructor at the Armored Forces Training Academy. Ten years later, he retired with the rank of major. He then returned to his hometown and became a car dealer until his death.

After this tragic and fierce battle, Wang Cheng never entered the battlefield again.

The commander of the Ming landing force threw a large armored force into the front line to carry out a powerful counterattack against the American troops who launched a flood of attacks. This powerful armored force, which has three armored divisions, is completely a slap in the face for the attacking American troops.

The fierce attack, which had lasted for several hours, had already exhausted the American troops on the front line in the face of the strong defenses of the Ming defenders. After the powerful Ming armored forces launched a counteroffensive, the American troops who had worked the front line to gradually break through the front line positions of the Ming army suddenly collapsed.

You must know that there were three armored divisions of the Ming army, hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles, and tens of thousands of elite mechanized infantry riding in half-track armored vehicles. After such a powerful new force was put into the battlefield, the situation on the battlefield was suddenly reversed.

The American troops who stormed the Ming positions were soon drowned in the tide of huge Ming reinforcements. Then the Ming armored forces began to carry out an armored counterattack towards the American position.

The power of the tanks was enormous, and the exhausted American troops had little to resist. Many of the American officers and soldiers could not even escape, and were either knocked down by machine guns or crushed into clumps of minced meat by the thick tracks of armored vehicles. The battlefield was full of very horrific and tragic scenes.

In the face of the powerful counterattack of the Ming army, Bradley, who had already gambled everything for this operation, was not willing to give up this battle plan. Because he had actually used almost all the power he could. Hundreds of thousands of troops, all artillery and mobilized fighter units and the most powerful armored units.

For Bradley, if he loses this offensive, he will never have the ability to retake Los Angeles. Because he had used up most of his supplies for this attack, including almost all of his shells and most of the fuel. And if you want to get another large-scale replenishment, you can't think about it for at least two weeks.

And two weeks is too long for a war of magnitude. Two weeks later, the winner had already been decided on the sea. And the Ming army had already received enough reinforcements to consolidate their defenses. At that time, the war will be over.

Not willing to fail, Bradley sent his reserves out. This is the last powerful armored force that the U.S. military can mobilize in southern California at this moment. The powerful armored forces of three armored divisions and four armored brigades, more than 1,000 tanks, with the support of tens of thousands of infantry, rushed into the battlefield and engaged in a fierce duel with the American army.

Because the scale of the battlefield was not large, the unusually large forces on both sides were actually divided into several parts and put into the battlefield. Tank hedging, counter-shooting. The infantry stumbled, even within the same crater. The battle was very tragic, and the officers and soldiers between the two sides completely turned into a string of cold numbers in the commander's mind at this moment, and they were mercilessly consumed in this meat grinder.

According to later statistics, the Ming army invested more than 200,000 officers and soldiers, including four and a half armored divisions and eight infantry divisions, in this battle. Among these officers and soldiers, nearly 50,000 were killed, captured and missing! In addition, many officers and soldiers were wounded in the battle and had to retire from active duty.

The Ming army also lost nearly 1,000 tanks and armored vehicles, and countless types of artillery and machine guns. All the losses added up are even enough to fully arm all the armies of a small country.

Compared with the Ming army, the losses of the American troops who used the wave attack method were even more tragic. Most of the nearly twenty divisions they threw into the battle were disabled, and the loss of personnel was close to 100,000. And most of its artillery units were destroyed, and the armored forces were almost completely lost. For weeks to come, Bradley's strength could not return to the level it was before the battle began.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the logistical supply was cut off, Bradley would have been able to successfully break through the Ming army's defense line if he had adopted a prudent combat method. However, after losing nearly half of his supply capacity, Bradley was forced to launch this underprepared offensive before completely losing the ability to attack actively.

When the battle on the ground was in full swing, the sky was not idle. Both sides understood the importance of this battle, and after the battle began, they had already put in 12 points of effort to maximize their various combat effectiveness.

As a super ace, Sha Jin has returned to the battlefield for the third time. He was one of the first fighters to come to the battlefield in the early hours of the morning, and after running out of shells, he ran back and forth twice and returned to the airfield to replenish it.

The commander on the ground asked him to take a break, after all, such a high-intensity sortie was a very unbearable thing for even those pilots with excellent physical fitness.

"I'm fine." Sha Jin's answer was simple: "I am needed on the battlefield now." ”

After this period of continuous fighting, Sha Jin has raised his downfall figure to an unprecedented two hundred and fifty-one. This number is ahead of the major pilots of the 19th Fighter Wing of the Army Aviation in Europe, and it is also the second largest in the world after his Wang Qiao, which has nearly 40 planes in the number of downed flights. And the two of them are also the only two pilots in the history of the world's aviation who have increased the number of downed planes to more than 200.

For this kind of powerful pilot, who can be called a national hero, even Zhang Cheng has given direct orders to protect his safety. After all, such a powerful pilot has unparalleled influence among the people. If there is any problem with them, it will be a big blow to the morale of the army.

Sha Jin, who returned to the battlefield, took a deep breath, and when he returned to the airport ground crew to refuel his fighter plane and replenish ammunition, he drank a large cup of hot coffee, and then ate a few high-calorie chocolates. Now his mental and physical strength are in a state of overdraft, but because of the influence of external objects, he can maintain a very high level.

"Got you!" Sha Jin, whose eyes were bloodshot, stared at an American F86 Sabre, opened the afterburner and chased after it, and quickly put it into the sight. When the prey tried to roll and escape, Sha Jin also shook the joystick and rolled aside, and pulled the trigger to shoot down the American saber when he rolled.

"You need to save some ammo." After adding another victory to himself by shooting the gun, Sha Jin muttered to himself.

The performance of the jet fighters put into active service by the Ming Dynasty has almost reached the top level in this era. However, it is still the standard for the original jet. Although it was loaded with a large amount of ammunition, it was far from sufficient in a fierce air battle of this magnitude.

Sha Jin had been forced to return to the airport several times to replenish his ammunition, not because he had run out of fuel, but because he had run out of ammunition. Although the Ming army's jet fighters were armed with four 20-mm machine guns, they were very powerful. But the ammunition consumption is also very staggering.

In the next ten minutes, Sha Jin piloted his fighter plane to shoot down several US fighters one after another, and his performance was very outstanding. But from the fierce battle in the early hours of the morning to the present, his body and spirit have reached the limit state, which has caused his state to drop significantly, and then he was hit unsurprisingly.

Looking at the flaming tail, Sha Jin, who was very nervous, tried his best to drive the fighter back. But this kind of thinking is destined to be a luxury. Sha Jin immediately opened the plastic cover after the fighter engine turned off and slapped the button of the catapult.

The parachute opened smoothly. Looking at his beloved plane that gradually fell into a spiral and rushed to the ground, Sha Jin was now even more worried about whether he would be attacked by strafing by enemy planes. After all, he is now hanging on a parachute, and there is no ability to resist at all.

But fortunately, there were many Ming fighters around, and they guarded Sha Jin around him until he fell to the ground. And he was also very lucky to fall on the position of his own people.

Sha Jin's thigh was hit by a fragment when it was ejected, causing it to bleed profusely. He was soon taken to the hospital in the rear.

"What's going on out there?" Listening to the deafening cheers outside, Sha Jin, who had just finished the operation, asked the nurse on the side a little weakly. And the nurse shouted loudly with excitement on her face, "Colonel! The Navy has won! We've won! (To be continued.) )
