Under the threat of the Chinese Air Force, the artillery units of the US army acted as turtles with shrunken heads, and they did not dare to take the lead. Although the fighter is limited by the flight range, the time in the air is not long, and it cannot stay on the battlefield for a long time. But airships don't have this problem, large airships can stay in the air for a long time, and can even be suspended in the air with the engine turned off. As long as the U.S. artillery dared to open fire, the airship unit was able to fly over their heads and drop bombs. Such tactics, although somewhat shameless, fully exploited the superiority of the squadron's weapons. In a situation where the US military is powerless against the fighters and airships of the Chinese Air Force, the squadron can use the firepower of the troops to the extreme.

The power of the shelling of thousands of large-caliber artillery pieces was very terrifying, especially from 7:30 in the morning until 8:30 a.m., when the artillery of the Chinese Army stopped shelling. Over the past hour, Chinese artillery fired at least more than 100,000 shells. The forward positions of the American army were as if they had been plowed all over again. A large number of fortifications were destroyed, and the casualties were even heavier. Even if the US military's anti-artillery shelters and bomb shelters are built very strongly, they can't withstand the long-term shelling of large-caliber artillery!

When the artillery of the Chinese Army ended the shelling, many anti-artillery shelters and air-raid shelters of the US army were blown up, and the US officers and soldiers inside were buried alive. And because the rescue was not carried out in time, the US officers and soldiers inside had already suffocated to death. According to incomplete statistics, in this shelling, the 32nd Army deployed by the US army on the front-line positions. The casualties exceeded 10,000.

After the shelling ended, the commander of the 6th Army of the Chinese Army, General Gao Chang, gave the order to attack, and the 111th Regiment of the 11th Division and the 38th Division of the Japanese mercenary army jointly launched an attack on the positions of the American troops. More than 10,000 troops, scattered, rushed towards the positions of the American troops.

"Hurry up! The Chinese are coming! "Guarding the first trench of the line of defense was the 32nd Infantry Division of the 127th Army of the US Army. They were also the target of the previous artillery focus of the Chinese Army. Of the division's 12,000 men, 40 percent were killed or wounded in the shelling. At the urging of the officers, the remaining US soldiers got out of the anti-artillery shelters and bomb shelters that had not yet been blown up, entered the trenches, and manipulated their weapons to fire at the attacking Chinese army and Japanese mercenaries!

"Fire!" After the commander of the American front gave the order to open fire. The American soldiers who survived. They all used their weapons to open fire on the enemy. Although their hearts were full of fear, they also knew that if they didn't kill these Chinese, they would die!

"Da Da Da! Bang bang bang! "Light and heavy machine guns and rifles were fired. The dense bullets swept towards the soldiers of the attacking Chinese army and the Japanese mercenaries, and many soldiers were hit and fell to the ground. Most of them were lying on the ground, dodging the bullets of the American army.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! U.S. mountain artillery and mortars also opened fire, and shells exploded among Chinese soldiers and Japanese mercenaries, taking away lives. The counterattack of the American army did not frighten the attacking squadrons and Japanese mercenaries. They launched a counterattack.

Heavy machine guns and light machine guns were set up and fired at the U.S. troops. Mortars and infantry ran also suppressed the U.S. forces. If it weren't for the fear of accidentally injuring his own people, the large-caliber artillery behind and the airship units in the sky would have already opened fire. But even if that's the case. The 127th Infantry Division of the US Army, which suffered heavy losses, was also no match for the attacking squadrons and Japanese mercenaries. They had lost too many troops in the fierce artillery bombardment of the Chinese army before, and the remaining thousands of people were a little unable to resist the attack of tens of thousands of Chinese army and Japanese mercenaries.

"Boom!" A heavy machine-gun fire point of an American army was hit by a mortar shell. This sturdy heavy machine gun fire point had caused a lot of damage in the previous shelling. Although not destroyed. But the defense is also greatly reduced. After the mortar shell exploded, the heavy machine gun fire point was immediately blown into the sky.

In the midst of the two sides. Although the U.S. military was able to hide in the trenches, they could not take advantage of it at all. Whether it is the Chinese army or the Japanese mercenaries, the marksmanship is much better than that of the American GIs. In particular, the snipers in the Chinese army took advantage of this opportunity to snipe the US military.

"Smack!" A crisp gunshot rang out, and an American second lieutenant officer who was directing a heavy machine gun strafing fell to the ground unwillingly, and a large hole had appeared above his head, and something mixed with red and white was flowing out of the blood hole. The American soldiers who were operating the heavy machine guns were also frightened enough, and hurriedly hid in the trenches, not daring to rise again.

"Quickly inform the army commander, the attack of the Chinese is too fierce, we need reinforcements, otherwise we will not be able to hold on!" The brigadier general of the 127th Division of the US Army ordered profusely. The Chinese army and Japanese mercenaries are approaching their lines while firing. He was not sure that the Chinese army and the Japanese mercenaries would be able to withstand their attack after their approach. In the absence of any choice, I had no choice but to ask the military department for help.

The commander of the 32nd Army of the US Army, who received the telegram for help, hurriedly sent an infantry division to the top. If the defense line had been broken by the squadron at the beginning of the battle, he would have had no way to explain it to Admiral Pershing. Admiral Pershing plans to use this line of defense to hold the squadron back for at least ten days and a half months! When the time comes, the squadron will be put into the city of Chilpancingo, and the squadrons that have entered the city will be strangled by the fierce street fighting and the firepower deployed on the high hills on both sides of Chilpancingo.

The arrival of US reinforcements has increased the firepower of the US front line a lot. The attacking squadron and the Japanese mercenaries could not take advantage of it and had to retreat. However, after they withdrew, the Chinese army artillery opened fire again. Dense shells fell on the US defense line, and the US troops on the defense line were crying and crying for their mothers. Because a large number of anti-artillery shelters and bomb shelters were destroyed, the American troops had to retreat to the second line of defense in the rear, or huddle directly in the trenches. As a result, the US military suffered heavy losses under the bombardment of Chinese artillery.

During this day's fighting, the Chinese army and Japanese mercenaries launched several attacks, but they were all beaten back by the American army. However, the losses are not very large. On the other hand, the US military suffered heavy losses in the heavy artillery bombardment of the Chinese Army and the bombardment of the Air Force.

Although the Chinese side does not know how big the losses of the US military are, at least they are much larger than their own. After the commander of the US army, General Pershing, received the battle report at night, his face suddenly gloomy, as if he could drip water.

In today's battle, the U.S. military paid nearly 20,000 casualties. The vast majority were casualties of the US 32nd Army defending the front line. They suffered heavy losses under the combined efforts of Chinese artillery and air force. The vast majority of people were killed.

"General, the losses of the troops are too great, if we continue like this, we won't be able to hold out for long!" Lieutenant General Davis was also a little worried. Such a loss also scared him a lot. If it loses more than 20,000 people every day, then even if the US military has a million people, it will not be able to hold out for two months.

Admiral Pershing nodded, he didn't know this truth. But does he have any other options? If the favorable terrain could not withstand the squadron's attack, once it retreated to the central and northern regions of Mexico, the American army would be even more unable to resist the squadron's attack.

"Give the 32nd Army an order to hold out tomorrow for another day. After tomorrow night, they can withdraw from their positions and recuperate! Admiral Pershing said with a blank face. Because the frontal defense line was less than five kilometers wide, even if the defense line was divided into three lines, he could only put in the troops of one army at a time. The US military has millions of troops, but it cannot be used, and it can only be put on the position little by little, fighting with the Chinese. After it is exhausted, the troops behind it are redeployed to the front. And so on until all the troops are exhausted.

"Yes! Checkmate! Lieutenant General Davis said. He knew that such a refueling tactic would be very disadvantageous to the US military, but there was no other way. Similarly, the squadron was affected by the terrain and could not deploy large forces. It was only possible to maintain tens of thousands of troops on the front line, and only more than 10,000 troops per attack. Otherwise, once the main force of the squadron launches an attack, the losses of the American army will probably be even greater.

Compared with the losses of more than 20,000 US troops, the combined losses of the Chinese army and Japanese mercenaries are only more than 2,000 people. Moreover, most of these losses were losses of Japanese mercenaries. Although the Japanese mercenaries fought bravely, they were not afraid of death. But on the battlefield, it is often the fastest to die. These screaming Japanese mercenary soldiers are undoubtedly the best targets for the US military to kill.

For the rest of the day, the squadron and Japanese mercenaries attacked the American troops every day. Although it was impossible to break through the defense line of the US army under the stubborn defense of the US army, it was able to inflict heavy casualties on the US army.

On the night of March 9, when the 32nd Army of the United States Army withdrew from the front line, almost all four divisions of the army were disabled, and most of the remaining people were wounded, and there were only a few intact soldiers left. Their casualties show how fierce the fighting on the front line was. What a price the U.S. military paid to be able to hold the line.

After the U.S. 32nd Army was replaced by the front line, it only lasted two days before withdrawing and replacing it with the U.S. 33rd Army. In this way, the positions on the front line of Chilpancingo are constantly devouring the strength of the American army!
