889 American Siege Eleven Sick Cat or Jaguar?
General Patton furrowed his eyebrows, silently stared at the military map, and said after a while: "Call back to Admiral MacArthur and tell him that there is a rare opportunity to destroy the enemy on the south bank of the Panuco River, so Chapter 883 5 artillery regiments directly under the infantry division." And according to the artillery bombardment plan developed by Major General Ward, the US forces will carry out two bombardments lasting 30 minutes each before the tank attack. Each bombardment was followed by a 5-minute flash of fire on the front line of the Japanese position, followed by a 15-minute constant velocity fire on the Japanese anti-tank area, and finally a 10-minute rapid attack on the possible deployment area of the Japanese artillery group.
At 4:45 a.m., the sky was already a little clearer, and the 472 American artillery pieces finally stopped roaring. As is customary, after the shelling is over, it should be the onslaught of tanks and infantry! The surviving Japanese soldiers, under the command of the soldiers and officers, came out of their hiding places one after another, some ran towards the anti-tank strongholds, and some jumped out of the trenches and risked their lives to lay mines at the front of the positions. At this moment, a buzzing motor roar suddenly came from the northern sky, and when the Japanese officers and soldiers looked up, they saw a huge group of planes almost obscuring the sky and rushing towards the line of defense where they were! The bombing of American planes was followed by the shelling......
The U.S. imperialist planes that have shown great power in history, in Chapter 883 after the Pearl Harbor attack in this time and space, 368 B-25 Mitchell bombers, 298 A-20 attack aircraft, and 256 A-21 attack aircraft transferred from naval aviation (that is, SBD dreadnought dive bombers). In other words, for this medium-sized campaign with only 7 divisions (divisions) participating, the Yankees actually dispatched 922 bombers (attack aircraft) to provide direct air support. And this figure does not include the 480 B-17 and B-24 heavy bombers used to bomb the rear of the Japanese, Mexican and Central American coalition forces, nor the more than 500 P-36 and P-37 fighters that escorted these bombers and attack aircraft!
Bombs dropped by 922 bombers and attack planes rained down on the Japanese Chapter 883 area, arriving at about 5:30 a.m. At present, the US armored division is divided into two formations: heavy armored division and light armored division, among which the shells of the US Chapter 883 participating in today's battle fell among the four regimental combat teams of the US army, and from time to time tanks or armored vehicles were hit by bullets and caught fire. However, it did not stop the progress of these American GIs, who were some laymen, but definitely brave. Hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles suddenly increased their horsepower and began to assault at full speed, and the sound of motors roaring on the battlefield, the smoke of gunpowder and the white smoke emitted by tanks and armored vehicles covered the entire battlefield. You can only see bursts of fire rising from Japanese positions or American tank clusters, and occasionally you can see metal parts or severed limbs of human bodies thrown into the air!
The firepower of both sides was brought into full play, the Japanese army was desperately resisting, and the American army was also attacking forward with the greatest determination!
