Half an hour of shelling was over. The 12 heavy artillery regiments of the US army lost dozens of artillery pieces in the shelling. However, the results they achieved were also very impressive. The positions defended by the squadron were as if they had been plowed over again. Many firing points were blown up into the sky, and many trenches were blown down. The wires that had been drawn in front of the line of defense were also blown up in vain. On top of that, two of the five pontoon bridges erected on the Rio Grande were blown up. In the dark of night, the sappers simply repaired the pontoons.

At half past eight in the evening, the 30th Army of the United States began its offensive when the artillery fire stopped. The 119th Division and the 120th Division, more than 20,000 people in the two divisions, jumped out of their positions and launched a charge against the positions of the squadron. These two infantry divisions are also the two relatively complete infantry divisions preserved by the 30th Army of the US Army.

After the shelling of the American army stopped, the squadron ** and the mercenaries of the Rainbow who were hiding in the anti-artillery holes got out and entered the position, preparing to resist the attack of the American army. Despite the shelling of the US army, both the squadron and the mercenaries suffered considerable losses. But at the moment they had no choice but to defend as hard as they could. Everyone sticks to their posts. It's just that because a lot of anti-artillery holes have been blown up, this makes the defense of the front line appear a little sparse, and even some loopholes have appeared.

In the first trench, on a ten-kilometer-long defensive line, a regiment of the 32nd Division of the Chinese Army and two divisions of the mercenary army were deployed. The middle section of the defensive line of the 321st Regiment of the Squadron, although only two kilometers long, is at the core of the entire defensive line. It is also the most vulnerable to attack by the US military. Two divisions of the mercenary corps. then defend several kilometers of defense on both sides.

Even though the sky was dark. But I still vaguely felt some hazy figures in the distance. Even if the U.S. military deliberately kept quiet, it would be impossible for more than 20,000 people to attack without a sound at all.

"Illumination! Hair shè! "At 8:40 p.m., the commander of the 321st Regiment of the Chinese Army gave the order to send shè lighting. A light emanated from the mortar, and the bright light illuminated a few hundred meters in front of the position in an instant, as if it were daytime. At the same time, the figures of those American troops who were advancing on their waists also appeared. The lighting slowly descends. The U.S. military was simply invisible in the intense white light. Originally, they wanted to sneak close to the position of the squadron. But in the end it was exposed!

"Holy, the Yankees are really here! The lights are lifted into the air and ready to fire! The commander of the 321st Regiment of the Chinese Army hurriedly ordered, and at the same time he was frightened into a cold sweat. If he hadn't ordered the lighting in time, he might have been touched by the Americans.

More and more illuminations rose into the air, and the figure of the attacking American troops was completely exposed. At this time, the Americans also reacted. If the raid fails, then there is only a strong attack. Under the orders of the officers of the US army, a large number of US troops shouted slogans and rushed towards the position of the squadron.

"Fire!" The light and heavy machine guns and mortars deployed on the defensive line of the squadron opened fire one after another. With the help of illumination, the air time is about thirty seconds. Constantly pouring dense firepower on the American army. The charging U.S. troops are like cutting wheat. Rows and rows were put on the ground!

"Da Da Da!" All the light and heavy machine guns were firing at maximum speed, and a belt of 250 rounds was all used up in half a minute. Such dense firepower also dealt a great blow to the US military. In this area between 300 and 400 meters away from the position of the squadron, the US troops were blocked here as if they had hit a one-degree wall. Many of the American soldiers still maintained their habits and charged forward a few steps before falling to the ground and never getting up again.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Mortars also began to fire. One cannon after another exploded in the crowd, recklessly harvesting the lives of American soldiers. Often, a single cannon explosion can blow several American soldiers into the sky.

"Hell! And what about our heavy machine guns and mortars? Why haven't you pulled it up yet? Major General Eddie, the commander of the 30th Army of the US Army, who was watching the battle from behind, trembled with anger when he saw his soldiers fall in rows under the guns of the squadron.

In the distance, Admiral Pershing and others, who were standing on a small hill watching this qiē, did not say a word. The battle has just begun, although the fire of the squadron is very fierce, but they firmly believe that the squadron will not continue like this forever. With the passage of time, the U.S. military will be able to slowly turn the tide of the war and eventually wipe out the squadron completely.

"How long will it take for the artillery to be able to shift positions?" Admiral Pershing asked. After half an hour of shelling, although the Americans stopped shelling, their heavy artillery units did not retreat, but began to shift their positions. The previous positions were exposed, and the fire of the Chinese artillery was suppressed, and dozens of artillery pieces were lost. After they moved to the alternate positions, they would continue to fire at the squadron!

"General, it will probably take another hour or so!" Admiral Davis returned to the road. It was not an easy task for twelve heavy artillery regiments to shift positions. However, this period also coincided with the delivery of the army to launch an offensive. After the artillery has completed the transfer, the infantry retreats, and then the artillery fires. In this way, it can give the squadron the biggest blow. At the same time, it can also maximize the preservation strength of Cheng dù!

Admiral Pershing nodded and said nothing. In the binoculars, the battlefield was lit by the squadron as if it were daytime, and General Pershing could clearly see the attacking American soldiers falling one by one. However, he did not have any expression, as if the dead were not humans, but animals. As an army general, he has long been accustomed to seeing death, and ordinary soldiers are nothing more than a number in their eyes.

"Da Da Da! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! "From the moment the battle broke out, it went straight to the **. On the 10-kilometer-long defensive line, more than 20,000 US troops launched the most fierce attack. They charged fearlessly until they were killed. However, the people in front fell, and those behind followed closely to replenish them, as if they could not be killed at all.

In front of the position defended by the squadron, the corpses left by the American troops had already pounced, and the flowing blood and water gathered together, almost becoming a stream. However, as time went on, the US troops also got closer and closer to the positions of the squadron. Especially after the heavy machine guns and mortars of the US army also joined the attack, the casualties of the squadron also became larger.

"Kill! Kill those Yankees! "On the defensive line of the mercenary army, the soldiers of the mercenary army of the mercenary army cāo crossed their rifles and machine guns in their hands and opened fire on the American troops quickly. Although, the soldiers of the mercenary army were generally better marksmanship, throwing out their enemies several streets. However, their firepower equipment is relatively poor, and the number of artillery and machine guns is less than half that of the American army. In such a situation, they pay a lot of casualties. However, these RIs themselves are indeed very tenacious, and even in such a difficult situation, they still persevered.

"Division commander, the situation at the front is relatively bad, the offensive of the Americans is very fierce and the pressure is great. The commander of the 1st regiment asked for fire reinforcements! "A communications officer reported to the commander of the 32nd Division.

"Contact the command of the army group and request artillery support! The area of 400 to 500 meters in front of the first line of defense of the target! The commander of the 32nd Division said. Now the squadron and the mercenaries north of the Rio Grande add up to only 60,000 people, and the number of fighters will definitely not be able to fight the Americans, they can only find a way from other aspects.

A few minutes later, the running group, south of the Rio Grande, opened fire. More than two hundred 105-mm light howitzers began to fire. According to the number provided, these cannons began to provide fire support to the squadron north of the Riode!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The artillery exploded in front of the positions of the 321st Infantry Regiment and the mercenary corps of the Riben, which were only four or five hundred meters away from their positions. Clusters of orange fireballs rose, blowing up all the US officers and soldiers around them.

Under the intensive artillery strike, the attacking American troops paid a heavy price. The morale that had been affected by the position of the ** squadron in the French breakthrough began to decline rapidly. In the end, it was a rush to disperse. After all, no matter how brave you are, in the face of death, it will still be terrifying. And watching the comrades-in-arms around him fall one by one, it will make this fear continue to magnify.

"Bastard! How did those cowards rout? Why can't it be held on any longer? The Chinese have already called for artillery support, they can no longer hold out, as long as they work harder, they will be able to storm the positions of the Chinese! Seeing the collapse of the American army, Admiral Pershing was so angry that he scolded.

"General, the Chinese's firepower is too strong, I'm afraid our losses are not small!" Chief of Staff Payton. Lieutenant General March said.

"Order Major General Eddie! Fifteen minutes later, attack again! Admiral Pershing commanded with an expression on his face.

"Yes, General!" Admiral Davis nodded, and immediately gave instructions to the officers beside him.

Major General Eddie, commander of the 30th Army of the United States Army, saw that the troops were scattered, and his face was not very good-looking. But at the same time, he can understand that he knows that the casualties of the troops must be not small. However, then Admiral Pershing's order came, which made him feel the atmosphere, but he had no choice but to follow the order! )
