"Haha! Very good! General Oshima, it's great if you have that confidence. Don't worry, my 6th Army will act as your reserve, and if the U.S. military really launches an attack tonight, we will definitely let them go and never return! General Gao Chang, commander of the 6th Army, said with a laugh. If the U.S. military doesn't launch a night attack tonight, that's fine, but if the Americans really want to launch a night attack, the offensive will definitely be quite fierce, and the Japanese mercenaries stationed in the front line will definitely suffer heavy casualties. Although this is a bit unkind, it is better than the heavy losses of your own soldiers. Anyway, the Japanese are used to walking as lackeys, and this is their fate in the future!

"Rest assured, general, we will definitely hold our positions. Still, General, I hope that the General will be able to give us a little help. Admiral Yoshimasa Oshima said. He knew that he could not refuse Admiral Gao Chang's request, but could only accept it. At the same time, I also know that in tonight's battle, the Japanese mercenaries will dive into heavy losses.

"What helps? General, please rest assured, I will definitely not postpone if I can do it! Admiral Gao Chang said.

"General, I hope that the general will give us a special batch of heavy machine guns and mortars. In this way, when the Americans attack, we will be able to teach them a hard lesson! Admiral Yoshimasa Oshima said.

"That's it! No problem. I can send you thirty heavy machine guns and thirty mortars. In addition, if the battle does break out tonight, our main artillery will also provide you with fire support! Admiral Gao Chang said.

"Thank you, General!" Senior General Yoshimasa Oshima hurriedly bowed to express his gratitude.

On the evening of March 18, after the sun set, the units under the 6th Group Army of the Chinese Army. Quietly retreated from the captured American defensive line, and several divisions of the Japanese mercenaries entered the position and took over the defensive line. In order to hold the position, the commander of the Japanese mercenary army, General Yoshimasa Oshima, also shed blood, and the Japanese mercenaries of the entire four divisions entered the two defense lines, and 20,000 soldiers of the Japanese mercenaries were deployed on each defense line. In addition, there are four divisions of Japanese mercenaries as reserves, and if the battle situation on the front line is urgent, they will rush to reinforcements as soon as possible. Admiral Yoshimasa Oshima believes. The pay is directly proportional to the gain, and if the Japanese mercenaries want to gain a higher status and more benefits, then they must prove their abilities on the battlefield. In particular, Admiral Gao Chang proposed that after defeating the United States in the future. The fact that Japanese mercenaries can remain in the United States as troops stationed in the United States is a great advantage. Therefore, he had to fulfill the requirements made by Admiral Gao Chang. Although Admiral Gao Chang may not be able to decide whether the Japanese mercenaries can become troops stationed in the United States, it is very easy to prevent the Japanese mercenaries from becoming troops stationed in the United States.

After several divisions of the Japanese mercenaries entered the position, they immediately began to continue to strengthen the position. construction of artillery facilities, etc. Although, in a short time, they could not repair the already broken position, but now it is a little more. They also have a better chance of surviving in battle. Although the Japanese are not afraid of death, they are not willing to give up their lives casually.

The U.S. military also began to move, and Admiral Pershing had great confidence in this attack. Moreover, the US military's combat objective this time is also very simple. It is not to retake positions, but to give the Chinese enough killing. Get a win. Although, compared to this battle in which both sides gathered millions of troops, this victory may be insignificant. But for the now demoralized US military, that is enough. A victory can give these American soldiers encouragement, thus greatly enhancing their will to fight.

"General, the artillery unit has already begun to prepare, and in an hour it will be ready to attack!" Lieutenant General Davis reported. There was also some excitement in his spirit, for all this time, they had been pressed and beaten by the squadron, and they had lost a lot of troops. This time, I was finally able to get back a little bit of the field.

Admiral Pershing looked at his watch, and then said: "Wait a little longer! It's only ten o'clock in the evening, and we will wait until 1 o'clock in the morning to attack. At that time, the Chinese will lose their vigilance because of exhaustion, and our chances will be greater! ”

"Yes, General!" Lieutenant General Davis nodded.

"Have the infantry units been assembled? In order not to give the Chinese time to react, the artillery shelling lasted only twenty minutes. As soon as the shelling is over, they will attack! Admiral Pershing said.

"Don't worry, General! It's ready. The 36th Army has already withdrawn from the front. The 37th Army has already entered positions. Once the attack begins, they will send all their forces to attack the Chinese. In addition, the 38th Army was also combat-ready. Once the attack of the 37th Army is thwarted, they will immediately join the battle to ensure that they break through the defense line of the Chinese and kill the Chinese to the maximum extent! Lieutenant General Davis said. For tonight's night attack, the U.S. military has prepared two full-strength armies, totaling more than 100,000 people. You must know that according to the information obtained by the US military, the squadron has deployed a maximum of 30,000 or 40,000 people on the two lines of defense in front. In the absence of artillery superiority and air support, it was a night battle, and it was almost impossible for the army alone to resist the attack of 100,000 American troops.

"Order the 39th Army to be ready as well." Admiral Pershing said.

"The 39th Army? General, isn't it enough for us to invest 100,000 people? Lieutenant General Davis asked with some confusion.

"Be prepared!" Admiral Pershing said. In order to win tonight's night attack, he had to be well prepared. Even if it is to exchange the lives of more American soldiers for victory, as long as it can defeat the Chinese, it will be worth it.

Seeing that Admiral Pershing was so persistent, Lieutenant General Davis couldn't say anything more. After all, Admiral Pershing is the supreme commander of the U.S. forces in Mexico. It's just that he still has some doubts in his heart, can he prepare three armies of 150,000 people?

Time passed slowly, and soon it was one o'clock in the morning. The moon had taken refuge in the thick clouds, and the ground was dark.

"Start attacking!" Admiral Pershing gave the order to attack at one o'clock in the morning.

Suddenly, the positions of the American troops were boiling. Thousands of cannons with a caliber of more than 105 mm began to roar, and orange-red flames shone in the muzzles, as if they were making fireworks. A dense screech sounded in the sky, and people couldn't help but feel their scalps tingle when they heard it. Ten seconds later, on the two lines of defense defended by the Japanese mercenaries, there were clusters of fire. Dense shells exploded on the defensive line, and the glittering fire seemed so bright in the darkness of the night.

"Shelling! Hurry up and hide! "At the moment when the US artillery bombardment began, the officers and men of the Japanese mercenaries reacted. They had been notified of the possibility of a night attack by the US military, so everyone did not rest all night, and all of them waited for the surprise attack of the US army with red eyes. No one wants to be killed by the U.S. military in their sleep.

A large number of Japanese mercenary soldiers retreated to the bottom of the trenches, or freshly dug foxholes to hide. The anti-artillery holes and other facilities built by the former US military have long been destroyed by the shelling of the Chinese army and the bombing of the air force. The Japanese mercenaries were unable to build these facilities in a short period of time, so they had to build some simple anti-artillery facilities. It's just that the defense of these anti-artillery facilities is really very poor. In the intensive shelling of the US military, shells continued to fall into the trenches, and the flesh and blood of the Japanese mercenary soldiers hiding inside were blurred.

In the front-line headquarters in Mazatlan, General Gao Chang, commander of the 6th Group Army of the Chinese Army, has not rested, and staying up late is a common occurrence for senior commanders of the army. It's just that he also has some doubts, will the US military launch an attack tonight?

When the dense explosion sounded, Admiral Gao Chang stood up from his chair with a thud, grabbed the binoculars and rushed out of the headquarters.

"The Americans attacked! Order the artillery, prepare for a counterattack! Admiral Gao Chang ordered. The thousands of heavy artillery pieces of the Chinese Army have long been ready for battle. As soon as Admiral Gao Chang's order was reached, he immediately began to counterattack. Dense shells fell on the positions of the American troops. At the same time, those 155mm heavy howitzers and 155mm heavy cannons also targeted the artillery of the US army. It's just that in the case of blind fire in the black light, their counterattack is not very effective.

"Damn, the Chinese have been prepared for a long time, they expected that we would attack at night!" The smile on Admiral Pershing's face suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"General, what should we do now? Do you want to continue? Lieutenant General Davis asked.

"Go on!" Admiral Pershing said coldly. Since the raid fails, then attack. Anyway, the Chinese air force could not participate in the war at night, which gave the US military a great opportunity. In Admiral Pershing's view, even if the squadron is prepared, it may not be able to withstand the attack of the superior forces of the American army. Another reason is that he doesn't want to give up this plan halfway. If the plan is aborted, it will undoubtedly affect the morale of the US military again.

The American artillery bombardment ended after only twenty minutes, after which two infantry divisions of the US 37th Army jumped out of their positions on the front line and rushed towards the positions occupied by the squadrons. The positions occupied by the American positions and squadrons were only 500 meters apart, and for an adult soldier, it only took a few minutes to rush through.
