Several Chinese soldiers jumped from the boat, stepped on the soft sand, and rushed to the riverbank. However, as soon as they ran a few steps, they were hit by bullets that came from the fire, and several of them fell to the ground, blood flowing from their bodies, staining the sand beneath them red.

"Da Da Da! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! "The squadron on the south bank of the Grande River, when they saw that their comrades had arrived on the north bank of the Grande River, desperately poured firepower into the positions of the American army, so as to be able to provide the best fire support to the comrades who landed. They tried to suppress the American troops so that their comrades could successfully land at the lowest cost.

"Boom!" Several FH5 Falcon dive bombers began their dive attack, and with a screech that almost punctured people's eardrums, several aerial bombs weighing 500 kilograms were dropped on the positions of the American troops. The bomb exploded, forming huge fireballs that destroyed a long stretch of the U.S. line's defense. American anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns quickly fired at these dive bombers. However, after the bombing, these dive bombers became much lighter. They quickly pulled up, rushed into the sky, and then headed south. Having already dropped their bombs, they need to return to the airfield to refuel and refill their ammunition.

More and more boats were on the north bank of the Rio Grande, and more and more squadrons braved bullets whistling overhead to the beach on the north bank of the Rio Grande. Although, bullets flew over their heads, shells exploded around them, and the slightest carelessness could have killed them. But everyone is already charging forward with a cat's waist. They know if they are pressed on the beach. They are more dangerous.

"A company attacked from the left. The second company attacked from the right. Triple break through from the middle. The artillery platoon added up the artillery. Kill those *** Yankees! "The battalion commander of the 231st Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the Chinese Army was lying on the beach and giving orders. Of the more than 1,000 people in the battalion, only a few dozen died while crossing the river, and the rest managed to reach the north bank of the Rio Grande. However, climbing the north bank of the Rio Grande does not mean victory, and the real battle has just begun. In the face of the strong defense line of the American army, a thousand troops are nothing at all. They are nothing more than an army in the lead. Behind them, the 23rd Regiment of the 232nd Division of the Chinese Army had already begun to board the ship.

"Boom! Rumble! "Two infantry guns and two heavy howitzers of the 3rd battalion of the 231st regiment have been unloaded from the ship. And as soon as it was erected, it began to fire at the positions of the American troops. Provide fire support to the attacking troops. The three infantry companies below began to attack the positions of the American troops. Merely. The firepower of the U.S. military is still very strong, and they are pressed to the death on the beach, and they can only rely on the weapons in their hands to shoot at the U.S. troops. However, this is very dangerous for the squadron.

"Division commander, the Chinese have come ashore! Thousands of them rushed to the river beach and were attacking our positions. A junior officer in the U.S. Army panicked and reported to the commander of the 117th Division.

"Bastard, then what are you hesitating about? Hurry up and drive those Chinese down the river for me! The commander of the 117th Division roared. Not long after the battle began, the Chinese had already attacked the shore. If this continues, their division wants to hold its position. That would be very difficult.

"But the division commander, the troops on the front line report. They have already suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Chinese. Only one battalion remained of the 1st Regiment, and more than half of the 2nd Regiment had already suffered casualties. They are already very reluctant to hold the defensive line, and they simply do not have the strength to launch a counterattack against the Chinese! The junior officer replied. In order to cover the crossing of the river, the squadron mobilized too much heavy artillery to bombard the positions of the US troops, and there were planes in the sky that kept dropping bombs on the US troops. Under such a blow, the losses of the US military were very large. As the position of the 117th Division of the US Army, which was attacked by the squadron, it suffered heavy losses because of this. If it weren't for the relatively reliable fortifications built by the U.S. military in the past few months, maybe the squadron would have attacked their positions a long time ago.

"Bastard! The division headquarters guard battalion was ordered to go to the front immediately. Except for the officers at the division headquarters, all the rest of the people who can take up arms will go to the front for me! The commander of the 117th Division of the US Army ordered. At this time of the war, he has no choice but to fight hard!

"Division commander, no, the Chinese have launched another large-scale river crossing, and at least several thousand people are crossing the river. By the time they come ashore, our defenses will be in jeopardy! The chief of staff of the 117th Division rushed into the command headquarters and reported with a panicked face.

"Damn! Immediately a part of the troops from the 3rd Regiment was transferred to strengthen the front. I'll ask the commander for support right away! The commander of the 117th Division also panicked.

The phone was quickly connected, and the commander of the 117th Division of the US Army shouted at the moment the phone was connected: "General, the Chinese are crossing the river in a big way, and we will almost lose our hold." The defense line of our division is the key target of the Chinese. Now, our division has already suffered heavy losses! If there are no reinforcements, our positions will be broken through in an hour! ”

"Bastard! You must hold your ground, or I'll be shot! Reinforcements are coming soon. I have only one request, you must hold your position and not let the Chinese break through your defensive line! "The commander of the 30th Army of the US Army is also a little anxious. Reinforcements of a division were hurriedly sent to the positions of the 117th Division, and at the same time the situation was reported to the command. After all, judging from the current situation, although the Chinese launched fierce artillery bombardment on the defense line of hundreds of kilometers, the direction of the main attack was the defense area of the 117th Division of the 30th Army of the US Army. Although the U.S. 30th Army had a full 50,000 men, their defensive line was 50 kilometers long. Under the fierce attack of the strong squadron, he really didn't know if he could hold it.

More than 4,000 people from the 232nd Regiment of the 23rd Division of the Chinese Army took hundreds of small boats and quickly rowed towards the north of the Riode River. Because the boats were too small to carry heavy equipment, they had to send weapons such as heavy machine guns, infantry guns, and mortars. Therefore, they also needed artillery support on the south bank of the Rio Grande. Fortunately, the U.S. defense line was being ravaged by squadron artillery fire and aircraft, and for the time being, it was not possible to inflict a severe blow on their river crossing. Although from time to time boats were wrecked and the soldiers fell into the river, on the whole, the losses were not very large.

The Rio Grande is just over 200 meters wide and can reach the north bank in a few minutes. When I saw hundreds of small boats covering almost the entire surface of the river, rushing quickly. The U.S. troops guarding the line were also terrified.

The news that the squadron had crossed the river and successfully landed on the north bank of the Rio Grande was also sent to the U.S. Army's Rio Grande Defense Command. When Admiral Pershing received this news, his face was gloomy as if he could drip water.

"Bastard, what's going on? What are those guys on the front line doing? It was only a little more than two hours after the battle began, and the Chinese were allowed to land. How long can we hold on like this? Admiral Pershing roared. The fierceness of the squadron's offensive was a bit unexpected to him! Originally, he thought that if the squadron wanted to land on the north bank of the Grande River, he was afraid that it would have to pay a heavy price! But I didn't expect that the squadron would successfully climb the north bank of the Grande River in such a short period of time!

"General! The Chinese artillery fire was very fierce, and coupled with the bombing of their planes, our army fought very hard. In the heavy shelling and bombardment by the Chinese, almost all the fortifications on the front-line positions were destroyed. The positions of the 117th Infantry Division, which the Chinese focused on, were even more as if they had been plowed over. The division has 12,000 people, and the casualties have now reached more than 30 percent. The 30th Army had already sent a division of reinforcements to the top. But under the fierce attack of the Chinese, it is not known how long it can last. Admiral Davis explained. He understands the hard battles on the front line. After all, the U.S. military's defense line is strong, but it is definitely not as impregnable as advertised. In the event of heavy artillery bombardment by Chinese artillery, or bombardment by the Chinese Air Force with heavy aerial bombs, it will also be destroyed. And after losing the protection of those fortifications, the casualties of the American army will increase even further!

"Sue the 30th Army, even if they are all gone, they must hold their positions. At least until dark, the Chinese cannot be allowed to break through our positions! Get the 14th Army ready, attack the Chinese after dark, and drive them down the river! Admiral Pershing ordered. During the day, Chinese planes circled over the US defense line, and it was very difficult for the US army to reinforce the front line. The bombing by the Chinese Air Force alone will have to pay a huge price for the US military. And after nightfall, the Chinese Air Force can no longer continue to operate, which gives the US military a perfect opportunity.

"Yes, General! I know! Admiral Davis nodded. He also knew that for the US military, night was the best chance to counterattack. It's just that the 30th Army will be able to hold out until the evening?

Several thousand men of the 232nd Regiment of the Chinese Army also successfully landed on the north bank of the Rio Grande. Although the firepower of the American troops was still strong, they were pinned down on the river beach after they came ashore. But thousands of people successfully landed on the shore, which put great pressure on the US military. On the two-kilometer-long river beach, the squadron and the US army launched a fierce fight. The squadron wanted to gain a foothold on the river beach and attack north in order to expand their positions and break through the American defenses. And the U.S. military also tried every possible means to hold its position, constantly pouring firepower on the squadron, and wanted to suppress the squadron on the river beach!
