Chapter 999: Steel Monster

Dozens of tanks of the 2nd Tank Battalion of the 2nd Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army TP'Wolf light tanks became the vanguard of the whole brigade. TP'Wild Wolf, the tank is 512 meters long, 261 meters wide and 241 meters high, with armor 25 mm thick at the front, 5 mm thick at the side and rear armor, and weighs 12 '. adopt

'Kunlun, type 5 engine, power is horsepower. The speed of travel on road is 30 km/h, and the speed of cross-country is 10 km/h. It was armed with a 37mm tank gun and a 1tǐng heavy machine gun. Although, the cross-country speed of 10 kilometers per hour is not fast, but for the infantry fighting with the armored forces, this speed is still too fast. Several of the main infantry divisions of the 2nd Army followed behind the armored brigades, preparing to launch an attack on the American forces in coordination with the armored forces.

Bypassing Cuautra and marching 80 kilometers east to reach Puebla, where the U.S. Army deployed four hundred thousand men in eight armies. The squadron dispatched two army groups and twenty infantry divisions, totaling more than 700,000 people, and there would be no problem at all in defeating the American forces in Puetra. Not to mention the assistance of armored forces.

The commander of the U.S. forces in Puebla was Lieutenant General Richard, commander of the U.S. 19th Army. He deployed the first line of defense to Atlisco, thirty kilometers west of Puebla, where there were 50,000 American troops in three armies. In the plan of the U.S. military, Cuautra and Cuernavaca are the focus of the squadron's attack, and the possibility of the squadron's attack on Puebla is very low. The reason why Admiral Pershing deployed heavy troops in this direction was just in case. Admiral Pershing believes that the US defenses in Cuautra and Cuernavaca are very strong, and it is basically impossible for the squadron to break through from here and attack Mexico City. Therefore, in this case, the squadron will definitely think of other ways. Given that Mexico City is high in the west and south, the squadron has only a detour. Puebla became the only target for the squadron to change the direction of the main attack. However, the U.S. military believes that the squadron will not attack Puebla until Cuautra and Cuernavaca collide and break their heads. The U.S. military never expected that the squadron had taken Puebla as the direction of the main attack from the very beginning, and the onslaught at Cuautra was nothing more than a feint to attract the attention of the U.S. military.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the armored brigade of the 2nd Army of the Chinese Army was already only ten kilometers away from Atlisko. The reconnaissance team had spotted the American scouts and engaged in a brief exchange of fire. At this time, if the armored brigade continues to advance, it will be possible to be discovered by the US military. Therefore, after learning of this news, General Xie Dingkun ordered the armored brigade to suspend its advance and wait for the arrival of the main force of the 2nd Army.

At 11 a.m., the main forces of the 2nd Army and the armored brigade converged. Subsequently, the armored brigades of the 6th Army and the armored brigades of the 7th Army also arrived. Admiral Xie Dingkun ordered the troops to keep the jǐng ring, and at the same time let the main infantry divisions that were on the road start to rest and have lunch. After lunch, the attack on Atlisco began.

At 12:40 p.m., Admiral Xie Dingkun gave the order to attack. Three armored brigades launched an attack on the American troops in Atlisko. The rumbling sound of tanks and armored vehicles moving was like thunder.

A distance of ten kilometers is only an hour for tanks and armored vehicles. It's just that, in order to cooperate with the infantry behind, tanks and armored vehicles deliberately maintained a speed of 5 km.

At 1:20 p.m., the artillery units of the 2nd and 7th armies of the Chinese Army launched the attack first.

Hundreds of heavy artillery pieces launched a heavy artillery bombardment of the American lines. And the American troops came to their senses only after the shells fell. The U.S. soldiers who were on lunch break entered their positions one after another under the reprimand of the officers, preparing to deal with the attack of the squadron.

In the morning, the exchange of reconnaissance units between the two sides did not attract the attention of the commander of the US army, Major General Donald, commander of the 72nd Army of the US Army. During this time, the Chinese and American sides have exercised restraint and have not launched large-scale attacks, but the reconnaissance forces of the two sides have already engaged in numerous exchanges in order to spy on each other's intelligence. It's just that every time it was the reconnaissance units of the US military that paid heavy casualties. This time, Major General Donald only regarded the previous exchange of fire as an exchange of fire between scouts, and it was not until after the dense shells fell that he realized that the squadron had really launched an attack on Atlisco.

"Artillery ready to counterattack! Immediately send a telegram to General Richard, we are under attack by the main forces of the Chinese! Major General Donald yelled loudly. Although it is not yet clear how many squadrons are attacking Atlisco, you can hear it from the dense artillery fire, this is definitely a huge running group, at least more than 500 heavy guns. There is no doubt that the one who appeared in Atlisco was definitely the main force of the squadron. It's just that Major General Donald doesn't understand the intelligence that he is worried about, the main force of the ** squadron is fighting with the US army in Cuautra, but why the main force of the ** squadron suddenly appears here now. There is no doubt that the US military was deceived by the Chinese!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Dense shells fell on the positions of the American troops, one by one the firing points were destroyed, and the barbed wire fence was also blown up in the shelling. The trenches dug by the US troops were also blown down, and the entire fortification was blown up in pieces in the fierce shelling of the squadron.

The artillery of the American army did not begin to counterattack until ten minutes later. However, a few minutes later, the whistling sound of fighters of the Chinese Air Force sounded in the sky. One after another, the fighters circled down, swept at the artillery of the US army, and dropped bombs. FH5's Falcon and dive bombers destroyed the artillery positions of the US army with heavy aerial bombs with their distinctive screeching sounds.

"Da Da Da!" On the positions of the American troops, the Gao shè machine gun also launched a counterattack against the Chinese fighters in the sky. Chinese fighter planes are like light birds, passing through a dense network of bullets. The U.S. military's air defense position in Atlisko only has a few dozen high-altitude machine guns, and such firepower poses a great threat to the fighters of the Chinese Air Force.

In the afternoon, at 40 minutes, the armored units of the Chinese army attacked. The armored brigade of the 2nd Army bore the brunt of the attack, led by 72 T5' Gepards and tanks of the 1st Tank Battalion, and on the flanks were the TP'Wolves, light tanks of the 2nd Tank Battalion and the Dike Battalion. Behind the tank corps, there were two battalions of mechanized infantry. Behind the armored forces was the 2nd Infantry Division of the 14th Army. After the attack by the armored brigade of the 2nd Army, the armored brigade of the 6th Army and the armored brigade of the 7th Army, also with the cooperation of the infantry, outflanked Atlisko. General Xie Dingkun, who was the commander of this combat operation, obviously had no intention of letting these three armies of the US military go.

"Boom!" The sound of thunder reached the positions of the US troops, which greatly shocked many US troops. Because of this sound, it was as if a large number of cavalry were charging. Could it be that the Chinese are ready to use cavalry to attack the strong defensive positions of the American army?

Soon, the observers who remained on the ground reported to their respective commanders with a look of horror.

"Captain! Monster! Black monsters are rushing towards our positions! An American soldier reported in shock.

"What monster?" The captain's company commander frowned, apparently not believing the soldier's report. By this time, the artillery of the Chinese Army had stopped shelling. A large number of U.S. officers and soldiers emerged from the anti-artillery holes and entered the trenches. However, when they saw clearly what was on the other side, one after another exclamations rang out from the positions of the American troops.

"Oh God! What the hell is that? Some devout Catholic soldiers had already prayed to God for a manifestation to bless them.

"Bastard! It wasn't a monster at all, it was just a strange machine. Mortars, heavy machine guns ready to fire! Kill the! An American captain company commander ordered.

"Boom! Rumble! "Two mortar shells flew first towards the Chinese armored units that were on the move. The shell exploded a few meters in front of a TB'Cheetah, tank. After the shell exploded, shrapnel flew sideways, but these shrapnel were not at all like tickling for the Tb' Cheetah, a tank with frontal armor of 57 mm, and had no lethal effect.

When the TB' Cheetah and the tank rushed out of the smoke and appeared in front of the US troops, these US officers and soldiers were even more frightened. If it were an ordinary human body, I am afraid that it would have been killed by a cannonball, but this monster was unharmed.

"Da Da Da!" The heavy machine guns of the American troops also fired, and the dense bullets hit the armor of the TB' Cheetah, the tank, making a crisp 'dang dang, dang dang, sound. These powerful bullets only left a white spot on the tank's armor, knocking off a little paint and not causing more damage.

"Oh God! What a monster! Invulnerable monsters! The American soldiers screamed in horror, and some timid soldiers jumped out of the trenches, threw down their weapons and fled backwards. People are always full of fear when it comes to the unknown. The appearance of the tanks of the squadron has exceeded the cognition of the American soldiers. For the officers, they will believe that this is nothing more than a new weapon developed by the squadron, similar to a car, except that armor is installed.

But for ordinary soldiers, this is simply an invulnerable steel monster!
