At two o'clock in the afternoon of July 10, the three divisions of the Sixth Army of the Chinese Army, with the cooperation of the navy, officially began the attack on Oxnard. The divisional artillery battalions of three divisions, more than 100 heavy guns of caliber of more than 105 millimeters, and the naval guns of seven battleships on the sea launched a fierce bombardment of the American positions in Oxnard.

"Boom! Rumble! "On land, the artillery battalions of three divisions, from the north, east and south, bombarded the positions of the American troops. One shell after another fell on the positions of the US troops, blowing up large craters one after another. The defensive positions of the US troops, which were not very passable, were blown up in scattered places during the shelling. It's just that the U.S. military did not sit still, and their artillery also launched a-for-tat counterattack. The three divisions of the US army have 36 105 mm howitzers and more than 70 75 mm mountain guns, which is already very good. But in the face of the powerful Chinese army, it is still in a state of passive beating.

After the observation balloon of the artillery battalion of the Chinese Army was lifted into the air, the artillery positions of the US army were even more exposed to the eyes of the Chinese artillery. The 155-mm heavy artillery battery to which the US artillery battalion belongs is specially designed to attack the artillery positions of the US army. The shells of the 155-mm heavy howitzer, weighing 42 kilograms, are very powerful. The artillery positions of the US army continued to erupt into bursts of fire, and the cannons were blown into twists in the explosion. In the artillery battle, the artillery of the US army was no match for the Chinese artillery at all.

The most powerful artillery bombardment was the shelling of battleships on the sea, especially the heavy cruiser 'Chengdu', with the power of 280 mm naval guns. It's even more shocking. Every shell explodes. It was as if the earth was shaking, leaving a deep pit with a diameter of tens of meters on the ground. The light cruisers and destroyers, approaching less than two kilometers from the coast, poured fire on Oxnard. In less than an hour, Oxnard was in ruins in the midst of such heavy shelling. The U.S. troops stationed here suffered heavy casualties in the shelling.

"Division commander, the soldiers are almost overwhelmed. The Chinese shelling was too fierce, and the soldiers on the front line suffered more than half of the casualties! "The commander of the 54th Regiment of the 1st Infantry Division of the US Army came to the command covered in blood and reported to Brigadier General Donald. His infantry regiment, which was deployed on the northern side of Oxnard, suffered more than half of the casualties in the shelling.

Brigadier General Donald's face was also constantly changing, he originally thought that after the arrival of the 52nd Infantry Division and the 53rd Infantry Division, Oxnard's defense should be greatly strengthened, but he didn't expect it to be like this. After the arrival of reinforcements from two divisions. The 54th Infantry Division defended the north of Oxnard, while the 52nd Infantry Division and the 53rd Infantry Division defended the east and south.

"I don't care what you do. We must hold our positions and resist the attacks of the Chinese. I'll give you another battalion of reinforcements! Brigadier General Donald said. The 54th Infantry Division had already lost a regiment in Santa Barbara, and its strength was no longer sufficient, and it was already his limit to transfer another battalion to join the front line.

"Yes, Commander!" The commander of the 1st regiment had to leave the command and return to the front. And at this time, the attack of the Chinese army also began!

"Someone, contact Samuel Los Angeles? General Yang, tell him that the attack of the Chinese is too fierce, and our army has suffered heavy casualties, and I am afraid that it will not last long. If reinforcements don't arrive, the fall of Oxnard will be inevitable! Brigadier General Donald said with a cold face. Although the entire West Coast of the United States has been mobilized, the distance of hundreds of kilometers is probably a long time before they rush to Los Angeles to participate in the war. Samuel? Lieutenant General Yang asked them to hold Oxnard to the death, not necessarily without the intention of buying time for Los Angeles.

Samuel in Los Angeles? After Lieutenant General Yang received Brigadier General Donald's telegram asking for help, he also found that the battle situation was getting more and more tricky. Obviously, the combat power of the ** squadron is very strong, and it seems to be beyond their imagination. Oxnard, defended by three divisions, was in danger under the attack of the Chinese army and could not hold out for long at all. By the morning, Los Angeles had sent a second batch of reinforcements, the 55th Infantry Division, the 56th Infantry Division, and the 105th Cavalry Regiment, totaling more than 18,000 men. But Samuel? Lieutenant General suddenly felt that sending such troops to rescue Oxnard did not seem to be of much use. Although Los Angeles still has tens of thousands of troops, if more troops are transferred, it will inevitably cause the defense of Los Angeles to be empty. Therefore, he did not dare to draw more troops. The troops who are rushing to Los Angeles can only be asked to speed up and reinforce Los Angeles earlier.

"Da Da Da!" Heavy machine gun fire was fierce, and red-hot bullets hit the defensive positions of the American troops, splashing pieces of dust. The Chinese soldiers, bent on their waists, launched an attack on the American positions.

"Fire! Fire! The Chinese came up and beat them down! "The command of the American army at the front

Officer, commanded loudly. The surviving American soldiers, who got up from their trenches, opened fire with their rifles at the Chinese soldiers who were attacking the American positions.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! "The crisp sound of gunfire is like fried beans. However, in the panic, the accuracy of the American soldiers was very bad, and they did not cause many casualties to the attacking squadron.

"Heavy machine gun fire!" The front-line officers of the U.S. Army were very summoned and shouted loudly.

"Da Da Da!" Soon, the heavy machine gun fired, and rows of bullets swept towards the Chinese soldiers, and the few soldiers who rushed to the front were knocked to the ground at once. The soldiers in the back also immediately lay on the ground. Braving the enemy's heavy machine gun fire, this is simply looking for death, and this kind of thing can only be done by the Japanese who are not afraid of death.

"Light machine gun cover! Mortars, take out the enemy's heavy machine guns! "On the side of the attacking squadron, countermeasures have also been launched. A light machine gun was erected and fired at the U.S. troops. However, the squadron without protection measures will suffer somewhat.

Fortunately, the mortar was quickly erected, and after adjusting the angle, a shell flew towards the fire point of the heavy machine gun of the American army.

"Boom!" The shell exploded, but it did not hit the heavy machine gun fire point of the American army, but only killed several American soldiers.

"Chinese artillery! Damn, take out the artillery of the Chinese! The U.S. officer was shocked and angry. However, before the U.S. military could react, the second shell arrived. This shell happened to fall on the US heavy machine gun fire point, and the explosion was reported, blowing up the US heavy machine gun fire point in pieces.

"Machine gun cover, charge!"

"Da Da Da!" Several machine guns kept strafing the US trenches, and the US soldiers could not lift them. The Chinese soldiers took the opportunity to rush towards the positions of the American troops. When approaching the position of the American troops, a row of grenades was thrown into the trenches of the American troops, and the American soldiers who were blown up cried for their fathers and mothers. The Chinese soldiers took this opportunity to break into the trenches of the American army and began to clear the trenches of the American troops to expand the results of the battle.

The positions of the American army were broken through in many places. By half past three o'clock in the afternoon, the frontline positions of the US army had already changed hands. A large number of American soldiers were killed, and the few remaining ones retreated to the city of Oxnard.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, all the American troops were driven back to the city of Oxnard, and all the outer positions fell into the hands of the squadron. The weakness of the US military's combat effectiveness is completely beyond everyone's imagination.

"Attack, attack Oxnard, and try to finish out all the American troops here before it gets dark!" The commander of the Sixth Army, Lieutenant General Gao Chang, gave the order.

Soon, the squadrons of the three divisions, with the cooperation of powerful firepower, attacked the city of Oxnard. Oxnard is just a small city, with an area of less than one square kilometer. All the buildings, in the previous shelling, have been reduced to rubble. The fortifications built by the US military were almost damaged during the shelling. In this case, it is simply impossible to expect the US military to withstand the attack of the squadron.

Light machine guns and snipers took cover, mortars cleared enemy fire points one by one, and soldiers launched assaults. Such a tactical cooperation makes the squadron very comfortable in street battles. The American soldiers, on the other hand, had the advantage of defense, but under the blows of the squadron, they were still beaten and dizzy, and the losses were very heavy.

In a basement, the commanders of the three divisions of the US army gathered together with sad faces, and this basement had been converted into a temporary headquarters. It's basic, but it's safe. It's just that the atmosphere in the command headquarters is very solemn at the moment.

"Oh God! These Chinese are completely killing machines, and my soldiers are defeated and retreated by them, and they can't resist their attacks at all! By now, only half of the strength of a division remains! The commander of the 53rd Infantry Division of the U.S. Army said in horror.

"The Chinese are more powerful than we thought, and they still have the advantage of strength and firepower. I don't think Oxnard should be able to hold it! The commander of the 52nd Division also said decadently.

"So what do we do now? Is it necessary to surrender to the Chinese? Brigadier General Donald, commander of the 54th Infantry Division, asked.

"Donald, we've done our best. The Chinese are too strong, we can't beat them, we have to think about the lives of the soldiers! The commander of the 52nd Infantry Division persuaded.

In the end, Donald agreed with their proposal. At 5 p.m. on July 10, the U.S. troops stationed in Oxnard surrendered to the squadron, and 13,000 people entered the prisoner of war camp temporarily set up by the squadron.
