Hundreds of ragged, shabby U.S. prisoners of war in and shabby uniforms are cleaning up the huge battlefield. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, the sky had already brightened, and the night attack launched by the American army had been completely repelled by the Ming army. Tens of thousands of U.S. troops died in this large-scale night attack, and the bodies of these people were not taken away by the retreating U.S. officers and soldiers, and now they can only rely on the Ming army to clean up the battlefield.

At this time, the weather is gradually getting hotter, and if so many corpses are not buried soon, it will cause a large-scale spread of the plague. Although both sides have powerful chemical armies in their hands, no one dares to use them because they are afraid of each other. However, it is no longer listed in this case.

Of course, the Ming officers and soldiers themselves would not have done these things. In the battle last night, the Ming army captured many American officers and soldiers who could not escape. The wounded were sent to the medical team, and those who had no injuries were sent out to collect and clean up the bodies of American soldiers who had died in battle.

Trucks carried away a large number of corpses of American soldiers who had died in battle. At the same time, the anti-chemical warfare troops wore a full set of equipment and sprayed disinfectant and lime powder in this hot weather. By the time all this was done, it was already afternoon. However, for the Ming army, these are not very important, because the American troops on the opposite side have fully retreated at this moment.

After the failure of the night attack, the American front-line commander knew that the strength at hand was no longer enough to continue to resist the next attack of the Ming army. Rather than being defeated by the Ming army after dawn and chasing all the way to powder, it is better to retreat first now. This will at least keep the remaining troops intact.

It has to be said that the decision of the US military commander is still very correct. On that night, two fully armored divisions of the Ming army arrived at the front from the rear, and they were to attack the American positions after dawn the next day.

Having lost most of their artillery and armored units, the American army could no longer resist the Ming offensive.

After defeating the U.S. counterattack in the Dalton area, the Ming Army's 1st Panzer Group struck again after being replenished, and soon again inflicted heavy damage on the U.S. counterattack force in the Marietta area north of Atlanta, completely paralyzing the force. After relieving their worries, the first armored group of the Ming army turned the direction of attack and rushed straight towards the Atlantic coastline.

Three days later, the Ming army captured the important town of Greenville, and then occupied Stone Mountain, known as the gate of Charlotte's outpost. And at the same time, the second armored group of the Ming army that came from Kentucky in the north was also fast at this time, after all, Charlotte was an important city.

Located in North Carolina, Charlotte is home to several rail and road intersections. It is also the main route and base for providing logistical supplies to the U.S. military in Tennessee. If it is lost, it means that the Ming army will encircle millions of American troops in Tennessee from both the north and the south.

You must know that there are not only a large number of US troops in Tennessee, but also a super bomb base that is regarded as the last hope by the top leaders of the allies. Once you lose these, it's all over. Americans will lose the last shred of hope, which is already very slim.

For this reason, when Charlotte was facing a great threat, the U.S. army mobilized all the forces at hand to go to the vicinity of Charlotte for reinforcements, intending to resist the offensive of the Ming army.

Similarly, in order to capture this important strategic location, the Ming army also transferred a large number of troops from various places into battle, intending to take it in a battle, thus completely killing the last hope of the American army.

The battle broke out very quickly, less than a day after the forward troops of the Ming Army's 1st Panzer Army Group had captured Stone Mountain, an important outpost defensive position south of Charlotte. The U.S. army immediately mobilized reserves and launched a strong counterattack against the Ming army.

About a regiment of armored troops and more than a thousand infantry marched south from near Newport to Stone Mountain. Originally, they received an order to go to Stone Mountain to strengthen their defenses. However, halfway through, he received news that Stone Mountain had been captured, and then the order from his superiors changed from reinforcements to counterattacks.

This American unit collided head-on with the vanguard of the Ming army during the night. The two sides marched at night along the banks of a small river near Stone Mountain. At first, both sides thought that they were facing their own people. But then the sound and accent of the march betrayed both sides.

After the flares were sent into the sky, the two sides immediately found that they were facing the enemy. Then, a fierce battle across the river began.

The actual strength of both sides is not large, and they are about the size of a regiment. However, they are the two most well-equipped and most powerful armies in the world. Both sides are armed with a number of tanks, armored vehicles and other vehicles. Artillery and machine guns of numerous calibers fired intensively at the opposite bank.

On this moonless night, the dense fire between the two sides boiled the river, which was not too big in itself. Tracer bullets flew to the opposite shore in long flames in the darkness, and artillery of various calibers spewed tongues of fire, turning the whole night into a bright place.

Soon after the exchange of fire, the two sides asked their superiors for reinforcements. Because the night is dark, it is difficult to judge the number of enemy troops on the other side, and we can only rely on the sound of gunfire to make a judgment. But this artificial approach is basically ineffective. Both sides reported to their superiors that they were facing a strong opponent, and it was estimated that at least a few divisions of troops were still elite armored units.

In fact, if either side had such a strong force, it would have been killed a long time ago. The creek between the two sides was not unfathomable, and tanks were enough to wade through. In fact, it is a common thing to exaggerate the enemy, and the armies of all countries do this, and the Ming army is no exception.

Of course, their superiors would not be completely convinced, because at this time, neither the American army nor the Ming army could mobilize several elite armored divisions in this place in a short period of time. It's not scientific. Both the Ming army and the American armored units suffered huge casualties and urgently needed to rest after a series of fierce battles at the moment. No one can come up with a few elite armored divisions.

Reinforcements are still available, though. Both sides sent reinforcements to the river area where the fighting was fierce. And even fire support from large-caliber heavy artillery. With the arrival of reinforcements, the battle between the two sides became more intense.

This hasty battle, which broke out at night, quickly expanded from the initial regimental level to the division level. A few hours later, it was expanded to military rank again. Tens of thousands of officers and men were thrown in from side to side, and fierce fire was fired on both sides of a not wide river, but neither side thought of rushing across the river to defeat the other.

When the enemy's situation was unclear, the commanders of the two sides almost unanimously chose a safe mode of warfare and gave full play to their powerful firepower superiority to suppress the enemy. As for the attack, let's wait until after dawn to figure out the enemy's situation.

The two sides fought back and forth all night, but in addition to consuming a lot of ammunition, the loss of personnel was much less than in other battles. It was a lot of momentum, but the end result was a draw. Reinforcements from both sides were rushing in to reinforce them, and more and more troops were piling up on both sides of this ordinary river.

After the U.S. Army finally managed to gather a few dissatisfied armored divisions and a large number of infantry, the U.S. Army soon launched an attack on the Ming army on the other side of the river. After all, on the other side of the river, behind the Ming army was an unknown stone mountain, and if the US army wanted to hold Charlotte, it had to stick to a place with an important location like Stone Mountain.

Attacks were carried out very traditionally. In the sky, all kinds of fighters on both sides chased and fought each other. Numerous artillery units on the ground tried their best to rain powerful shells on the enemy troops. Subsequently, hundreds of American tanks and armored vehicles rushed across the river and rushed to the Ming positions under the cover of a large number of American infantry.

The offensive of the American army was strong, and after paying heavy casualties, it successfully broke through the first-line defensive position of the Ming army, and then developed in depth with the Ming army. And it successfully broke through two or three kilometers, which is not far from the distance of the stone mountain. However, the American offensive ended there.

The Ming army quickly mobilized reserves from the rear, and numerous armored units quickly attacked and collided head-on with the American attack force. After the tanks on both sides exchanged sprays and fires, the American attack force was defeated and had to retreat completely. The Ming armored counterattack force even pursued all the way across the river and inflicted heavy losses on the attacking forces of the American army.

Subsequently, the Ming army, which gradually arrived in the rear, launched an active attack. A large number of tanks and armored vehicles, under the cover of numerous artillery pieces, attacked north from the area of Stone Mountain and charged towards the Charlotte area.

Of course, the U.S. troops could not watch the Ming army enter Charlotte, and the troops they mobilized from nearby areas launched a counter-charge against the Ming army. Some sections managed to repel the Ming attack. But some lots failed. Many Ming troops broke through the defenses of the American army and quickly approached Charlotte.

In some places, however, the Ming army was repulsed, exposing the flanks of some troops. The attack of the US army and the counter-attack of the Ming army, the encirclement and counter-encirclement of both sides lasted for two days in succession. Both sides paid a huge price in the fighting. However, compared with the U.S. military, the Ming army's bearing capacity is obviously greater.

In the end, the Ming Army's 1st Armored Group successfully entered Charlotte after paying heavy casualties, which was definitely fatal bad news for the US military. (To be continued.) )
