"General, those yellow-skinned monkeys have broken through our first line of defense, and our men are fighting with them for the line!" Inside the headquarters on the back of the heights, a second lieutenant officer reported to the commander defending Heights No. 1. A total of one division was deployed on Heights 1, and another division served as a reserve. The entire U.S. military believed that with strong fortifications, the squadron could be allowed to bleed here.

"Oh God! In just an hour, did the Chinese break through our defenses? Brigadier General Mayne asked in surprise.

"General, our opponent is not the Chinese, it is rì himself! Those with small men, looped legs rì himself. They fearlessly charged our defensive line, and at the same time the artillery fire continued to bombard our defensive line, and the front line suffered heavy losses, and several defensive lines were breached. Now Rì himself is engaged in a white-knuckle battle with our soldiers! The second lieutenant officer said.

"Damn! Let Colonel Ronald's troops go to the aid at once, and drive Rì himself out anyway! Brigadier General Mayne ordered.

"Yes, General!" After saluting, the second lieutenant officer immediately went to give the order.

On the position of the mercenaries, after seeing the American defense line being breached, General Yoshimasa Oshima was very satisfied.

"Haha! Ishikawa-kun, I know that the Americans are not vulnerable at all, they have strong firepower, and this is not broken through by our warriors? General Yoshimasa Oshima said happily.

"Yes, Your Excellency. The Americans are just powerful in weapons, in the will to fight. It can't be compared to the rì samurai! I have already ordered the soldiers of the 2nd Brigade to attack as well, and soon we will be able to fully capture the American lines! Major General Taro Ishikawa said.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the tide of battle on the high ground changed. Thousands of American troops rushed down from the high ground and entered the first line of defense, and launched a fierce attack on the mercenaries of Rìben in cooperation with the American troops holding within the defensive line. The mercenaries, who had not had much of an advantage, were suddenly defeated under the front and rear attacks. A large number of mercenaries were killed, and only a few were driven off the high ground.

"Your Excellency, General. I'm very sorry, I'll immediately organize troops to retake the position! Major General Taro Ishikawa said profusely sweating.

"Do your best! Ishikawa-kun, the Chinese generals, have been watching our battles, and I hope that our cousins will not have any effect on our mercenaries, and I don't want those Goryeo sticks to see our jokes! Admiral Yoshimasa Oshima said!

"Yes. Your Excellency, General! Major General Taro Ishikawa said hurriedly.

Admiral Yoshimasa Oshima took one look at him and left. After that, Major General Taro Ishikawa gave the order for all officers and men of the 7th Division to attack the high ground. Two hours later, almost all the officers and men of the 7th Division of the Rìben Mercenary Army died under the No. 1 high ground of the American army. However, they attacked to the death. It also caused great casualties to the U.S. military. The 95th Division of the 24th Army of the US Army, which was guarding the No. 1 heights, suffered heavy losses, with more than 1,000 soldiers killed and seriously wounded, and even more lightly wounded, and the total casualties had reached 30 percent. If it weren't for Lieutenant General George's strict order that they should not retreat. I'm afraid this division has already been withdrawn to the rear to rest.

After the attack of the 7th Division of the mercenary army failed, the entire division was almost completely killed and wounded. The commander of the division, Major General Taro Ishikawa, committed suicide by seppuku. When General Yoshimasa Oshima learned of this, he did not say much, but ordered another division to take over from the 7th Division and continue to launch a fierce assault on the positions of the American troops. The huge casualties, not only did no one rush to the mercenaries in fear, but instead inspired their beasts, killing the red-eyed mercenary soldiers, regardless of the casualties, to launch a fierce attack on the positions of the American troops. When the two divisions were killed and wounded in succession, the 95th Division of the US Army had already lost its combat effectiveness, and the 96th Division of the US Army, which had been replaced, also suffered heavy losses, and the entire defense line was a little shaky.

At the end of the day's fighting, the high ground on both sides of Haltiangis was still under the control of the American army. But the entire line of defense is full of holes, and if it weren't for the timely reinforcements of the U.S. army, I'm afraid it would have been taken by the mercenaries. And the mercenaries also paid a huge number of casualties in today's battle, more than 20,000 people were killed, basically no seriously injured people, all the seriously wounded soldiers asked their comrades to end their lives, in the contract between the mercenaries and the Chinese side, the dead soldiers can receive a pension of 200 Chinese yuan, while the seriously injured are only 100 Chinese yuan. Therefore, many seriously injured soldiers will ask their comrades to end their lives, on the one hand, to end the suffering, and on the other hand, to get more pensions for their families in rìben.

After the sun set, the fighting stopped for the time being, and after a day of fierce fighting, both sides were exhausted.

In the headquarters of the squadron, Senior General Yoshimasa Oshima was reporting to General Xie Dingkun and General Du Qizheng on today's battle.

"Two generals, today's battle is very fierce, we have done our best, more than 20,000 soldiers have been killed, the American defense line is very strong, however, we have also caused huge casualties to the Americans, their defense line is already in danger, I promise the two generals, tomorrow we will be able to conquer the high ground of the American army!" Admiral Yoshimasa Oshima assured.

"General Oshima, we have already seen the appearance of the mercenary army, their appearance is very good, we are very satisfied. We hope that in tomorrow's battle, the mercenaries will continue to carry forward their tenacious fighting style and defeat the Yankees! Admiral Xie Dingkun said with a smile.

Hearing Admiral Xie Dingkun say this, the worry in General Oshima's heart completely dissipated, and what he was most afraid of was that the Chinese side would not be satisfied with today's attack by the mercenaries. After that, General Yoshimasa Oshima assured Admiral Xie Dingkun and Admiral Du Qizheng that tomorrow the mercenaries would launch an even more fierce attack, defeat the Yankees in one fell swoop, and remove the obstacles to the advance of Hartiangis.

"Lao Du, Rì's own combat power is really good, compared with our regular army, especially those troops that have just been formed, it is not weak at all, if we equip them with our standard weapons, maybe we will take the high ground on both sides of Hartian Gis today!" After General Oshima Yoshimasa left, Admiral Xie Dingkun said.

"Yes! However, Rì himself is a white-eyed wolf that cannot be raised, and for the sake of our own safety, it is very necessary to restrict their weapons, lest these little Rì Ben bite us after they grow stronger! Admiral Du Qizheng said.

"Hmmm! Rì himself is good cannon fodder, but he is only cannon fodder, and once they have other ideas, we will not hesitate to destroy them. Now on the battlefield in Mexico, there are 500,000 mercenaries and 200,000 mercenaries, I don't know how many will be left after this battle! Admiral Xie Dingkun said with some emotion.

"It doesn't matter how much he has left, anyway, on the rì archipelago, there are still tens of millions of rì himself, these mercenaries are dead, just be drafted. Isn't it a good way out to be a mercenary? Admiral Du Qizheng said with a smile.

General Xie Dingkun nodded approvingly, the Second Army has been stationed in Rìben for many years, and he also knows Rìben very well. The pro-Chinese Xiyuan Temple Gongwang, as the prime minister of the rìben, has completely grasped all the rights of the rìben with the help of China. Now, the whole rìben is promoting slavery education, and all rì himself regard becoming a second-class citizen of China as the highest honor, and the jīng Ying class of rìben even thinks that only by relying on China can there be a way out for the future of rìben. Under such circumstances, unless China loses in a major war, there is absolutely no possibility that Rì will betray China.

In today's battle, although the mercenaries paid the price of nearly 20,000 killed, the casualties they inflicted on the US troops were also extremely large, with more than 10,000 seriously wounded and killed in battle, and countless minor injuries. Almost all four divisions of the U.S. 24th Army, which was responsible for defending the heights on both sides of Hartiangis, were heavily damaged, and the total casualties amounted to almost half of them, including lightly wounded soldiers. In the West, after suffering such heavy casualties, the troops have already lost their combat effectiveness!

"General George, the 24th Army has suffered too many casualties, and we can no longer hold out for tomorrow's battle. Those yellow-skinned monkeys are simply not human, and in the face of our dense firepower, they actually dare to attack, as if they don't take life as a thing at all! General, please allow my troops to withdraw and recuperate, otherwise I fear that the 24th Army will suffer casualties as a result! The commander of the 24th Army said excitedly. It was only the first day, and the number of dead and seriously wounded reached one-fifth, counting the minor wounded, the entire 24th Army had already suffered more than half of the casualties, and such a tragic battle was something he had never encountered since he joined the army, which made him feel a deep fear.

"Your Excellency, you must know that this is the first day of battle, and the Chinese are more just testing our strength. Therefore, today, apart from the Chinese artillery, the most sharp units of the Chinese do not participate in the battle, they send only poorly equipped mercenaries. Could it be that our regular American army, equipped with jīng liang, can't even beat those rìben dwarfs? Although the casualties of the 24th Army were heavy, I believe that the casualties of those rì themselves were even greater, and perhaps tomorrow they would not dare to storm as much as they did today. Your Excellency, the 24th Army must hold its ground tomorrow and hold out for at least three days! Lieutenant General George said! (qidian.)m.qidian.read. )
