After Major General Eddie, commander of the 30th Army of the US Army, returned to the headquarters, he immediately summoned the four division commanders under him to prepare for the attack. Now the defense area of the 30th Army has been transferred to other units, and they have all withdrawn from the defensive line. Of course, this is not that Admiral Pershing took pity on them and intended to let them rest. Admiral Pershing did this only to allow the 30th Army to take the lead tonight.

The commanders of the 4 divisions of the 30th Army were not very good, especially the commanders of the 117th Infantry Division. The target of the squadron's key attack today is the defense area of the 117th Infantry Division of the US Army. It can be said that almost all the positions occupied by the squadron are the positions of the 117th Infantry Division of the US Army. The 117th Infantry Division also suffered heavy losses in today's battle, with 12,000 men in the division, and less than 4,000 men withdrew from their positions. In addition, the 117th Infantry Division, which reinforced the 118th Infantry Division, also lost more than half. The other two infantry divisions also paid more or less some losses, which brought the casualties of the US 30th Army to forty percent.

"I just got back from General Pershing. In an hour, the attack will begin. The artillery will be ready for half an hour, and then it's up to us! It is a pity that our army will be the first to attack the Chinese! Major General Eddie said.

"General, how can this be? Our army has already suffered heavy losses, and General Pershing is doing this to make our army all dead? The commander of the 118th Division of the U.S. Army said very dissatisfied.

"Perhaps this is Admiral Pershing's punishment for our loss of position! It's useless to say that the rest is useless, let's go back and prepare! Even for us. Tonight's battle is going to be an uphill battle, but we have to fight it well! After all. We are beautiful people! Major General Eddie said. Even if they were a little dissatisfied with General Pershing's order, after all, it was not that they did not fight hard, but that they were unlucky, and the target of the squadron's attack happened to be their position. But now that the order has been given, they have to obey it. A soldier's vocation is to obey orders, even if they are wrong.

"Yes, General. We got it! Several division commanders nodded and left the command after saluting. Even if they have a grudge in their hearts, there is nothing they can do. What else can they do but obey orders? Perhaps, this is because they are more unlucky! If it weren't for the fact that the attack site selected by the squadron was the defense area of the 30th Army, maybe they would not have been so unlucky!

As the clock ticked by, the sun set. After the afterglow of the horizon had dissipated, the sky had completely darkened. There is no moon in the sky tonight, only stars that loom in the moment. Although it has not reached the point where you can't see your fingers, the sight is also very bad. If you don't rely on other lighting equipment, the human eye can only see less than a meter away.

Originally on the positions of the American army. At the moment, it has been occupied by the squadron. Immediately after the retreat of the American troops, the squadron began to repair these positions. Relying on the trenches and communication trenches originally built by the US military, two trenches composed of two trenches about 300 meters apart from each other were established. It's just that, because of the limited time, they can only clear some positions. The method is reinforced with reinforced concrete. It is also difficult to say whether the fire points of the civil structure can withstand the heavy artillery shelling of the US army. The key is probably to see whether your own artillery can suppress the artillery of the US army. If France suppresses the artillery of the American army. Then the squadrons and Japanese mercenaries who guarded the positions would be miserable.

It was 8 p.m., and the U.S. military had completed preparations for the attack. Admiral Pershing, Admiral Davis, and Peyton. Lieutenant General March came to a small hill to watch the attack tonight. When the hands on the watch pointed to eight o'clock, Admiral Pershing personally gave the order to attack!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! The U.S. artillery, which had already been prepared, opened fire one after another, running one by one, and bursting out into an earth-shattering roar. During the day, in order to avoid the attack of the Chinese Air Force, they could only watch the artillery of the squadron rage. And now, it was finally their turn to play, and the American artillerymen who had been waiting all day seemed to have endless energy, desperately stuffing the cannon into the chamber and then firing it. Although they don't know if these cannons will be able to wipe out those evil squadrons. But at the moment they don't care about it at all, their main task is to fire the cannon, that's all!

"Boom! Rumble! "Dense explosions sounded on the position of the squadron, and clusters of orange-red fireballs rose on the position, illuminating the entire position. The power of the artillery explosion blew up the positions that the squadron hastily constructed. One by one, the fire points of civil engineering structures were directly blown into the sky.

Although, after the artillery bombardment of the American army began, the squadron on the position hid in the anti-artillery hole. It's just that these anti-artillery holes were originally built by the U.S. military, and in the daytime battle, they have been destroyed by the heavy artillery and aircraft of the squadron, and some of the anti-artillery holes have been directly blown up, and many of the remaining ones have also been damaged by Yan zhòng. When the U.S. military launched a large-scale artillery bombardment, the squadron hiding inside was not safe at all. A lot of anti-artillery holes were blown up, and the squadron ** team hiding inside was buried alive, and only a few were able to escape.

In addition to the positions occupied by the squadron, the surface of the Rio Grande was the focus of the US military's artillery bombardment. Several pontoon bridges on the Rio Grande have become a major problem for the US military. If these pontoon bridges are not destroyed, the squadron will be able to reinforce the positions on the other side of the river through these pontoon bridges. If the U.S. military wants to recapture the defensive line and drive the squadron down the river, it will be impossible at all. As a result, four of the twelve heavy artillery regiments in which the US military participated in the shelling were targeted on the surface of the Rio Grande. Dense artillery exploded in the river, splashing high columns of water. The water splashes down on the surface of the river, making a "bang" sound, as if it were raining.

"***, the Americans actually used so much heavy artillery, they really did their best! Order the artillery to counterattack! Suppress the running crowd of Americans! At the headquarters of the 7th Group Army, General Du Qizheng's face also changed greatly after seeing that the US troops had dispatched such a large-scale running group. If Marshal Zhao Bowen hadn't redeployed five artillery battalions to support, the artillery of the 7th Army alone would probably not be able to compare with the US army at all.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The running group of the squadron on the south bank of the Rio Grande also began to fire at the American troops. Dense artillery, with a sharp whistling that pierced the air, flew across the Rio Grande and smashed into the artillery positions of the American troops. However, this has a problem. Most of the US army's running groups are arranged relatively backward, except for 155 mm heavy howitzers and 155 mm heavy cannons, which can not threaten the running groups of the US troops at all.

When the commander of the artillery brigade of the 7th Group Army reported this situation to the commander of the 7th Army, General Du Qizheng, General Du Qizheng directly scolded his mother!

"Bastard, how can you be like this? Immediately find a way to suppress the running group of the Americans, otherwise the brothers on the other side of the river will pay a heavy price! Admiral Du Qizheng said angrily. If there is no artillery suppression, if the US army is allowed to bombard the position, the troops holding on to the other side of the river will definitely suffer heavy losses under the shelling of the US army.

"Yes, Commander!" The commander of the artillery brigade didn't say a word, and immediately went back to find a way. At the moment, they have only 155 mm heavy howitzers, and only 48 155 mm heavy cannons. Although the heavy artillery of this air force is extremely powerful, it is also very difficult to suppress the heavy artillery of the US army, which is as high as seven or eight hundred. Especially at night, the method of accurately determining the position of the US troops can only make a rough judgment based on the flames produced by the muzzles of the US troops when they open fire, and the results obtained in this way are not accurate. In addition, the running groups of the US troops are relatively scattered, and if the US troops keep changing positions after firing, it will be more difficult to suppress them. The U.S. military, on the other hand, does not have these troubles, they have already marked the shooting elements, and they only need to carry out the artillery bombardment according to the target position as planned.

The artillery of the Chinese army had to move the artillery position further forward, until it was only a few hundred meters away from the Rio Grande. In this way, the artillery positions of the American army were reached. It's just that it is still very difficult to hit the American artillery in the dark night. At this time, the squadron and the Japanese mercenaries on the position north of the Rio Grande had already paid heavy casualties under the shelling of the American army.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Xiao Wang, a soldier hiding in the anti-artillery hole, listened to the sound of the cannon exploding overhead, and the mud and sand that kept living on the top of the anti-artillery hole, and his heart was very frightened. In his heart, he kept praying to the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, praying that their anti-artillery holes would not be blown up. Otherwise, all the brothers in his platoon who were hiding inside would be finished.

However, his prayers were unsuccessful. At 8:14 a.m., two guns exploded on top of their anti-gun hole. The shock wave generated after the explosion of the cannon completely blew up the anti-artillery hole. The dirt on the top fell, burying an entire platoon of officers and men alive inside. Under such circumstances, there is no possibility for the officers and men inside to conceive at all. No one had time to rescue them on the positions under heavy artillery fire.

There are many, many more such examples, until the artillery of the squadron opened fire fiercely and hit several artillery positions of the American army one after another, and the situation of the squadron guarding the defense line north of the Rio Grande was slightly better!
