The defense of the U.S. military in Cuautra is very strong, and in addition to the central city, there are three tight lines of defense on the periphery. Each line of defense was made up of continuous trenches and strong points of fire. The three lines of defense were connected by communication trenches, and in the event of heavy losses in the front line, the troops behind could be quickly reinforced. In addition, the unit defending the first line of defense is the 8th Army, which was newly transferred from the United States to the Mexican battlefield, which was originally stationed on the west coast of the United States.

Although the combat strength of the US 8th Army was not necessarily much higher than that of other units of the US Army, their morale was not affected in the slightest, and they did not suffer too many defeats at the hands of the squadron like other units and their morale was low. Moreover, their high morale and morale can also play a role in promoting other troops. This is also the reason why Admiral Davis put this Jingrui force directly to the front line.

The preparation of the squadron for shelling, according to the plan, will take half an hour. When the U.S. artillery launched a counterattack, the two sides launched a fierce artillery battle. Artillery positions were constantly hit, many artillery pieces were destroyed, and artillery was killed. But in general, the artillery units of the Chinese Army, which have both quantitative and qualitative superiority, have a great advantage.

The observation balloons on both sides were able to report the location of the other side's artillery positions to their respective artillery, which made the artillery battle very tragic. Less than ten minutes after the start of the artillery battle, both sides paid no small losses.

"What about the fighters of the Air Force? When will I be able to arrive? Let's shoot down the American artillery observation balloon first! General He Bingju, commander of the 8th Group Army of the Chinese Army, said with a frown. According to the arrangement of Marshal Cho Bowen, the task of attacking Kuautra was to be carried out by the 8th Army, and at the same time, Korean mercenaries were to assist the 8th Army. Ten more infantry divisions will also serve as reserves. There was no doubt that the tasks of the 8th Army were important, but at the same time, the 8th Army also lost the opportunity to outflank Mexico. The 2nd and 7th Armies were to follow the Panzer Corps and outflank the main forces of the American forces in Mexico City.

"Commander, the fighters of the Air Force are already on their way, and they are expected to arrive in ten minutes!" The new chief of staff of the 8th Army, Lieutenant General Wei Jingwu, reported. Before the attack began, the squadron's engineering units built several field airfields near Iguala, to which all the Air Force fighters and airships were transferred, so as to facilitate rapid reinforcements to the front line. Based on the speed of the F5 'Haidongqing' fighter, it only takes half an hour to reach the front line from Iguala, and the H5 'Hongyan' bomber and the FH5 'Falcon' dive bomber are a little slower, but it only takes more than 40 minutes to reach the battlefield.

At 8:25 a.m. on April 25, twelve F5 'Haidongqing' fighters from the 1st Squadron of the 2nd Squadron of the 1st Fighter Wing of the Chinese Air Force were the first to arrive at the battlefield. The four fighters of a squad had already received the order to pounce on the observation balloon of the US artillery. The observation balloon of the US artillery did not have the slightest power to fight back in the face of the fighters of the Chinese Air Force.

"Nope! My God! Please, pull me down! An observer of American artillery yelled in fear. However, it's too late! A fighter plane of the Chinese Air Force launched an attack on the observation balloon.

"Da Da Da!" The sound of aviation machine guns rang out, and a row of bullets was fired, and the observation balloon of the American artillery suddenly became a fireball, falling rapidly. Ten seconds later, it fell to pieces on the ground. The fighter plane that shot down this observation balloon had already pounced on the other observation balloon.

"Damn! Counterattack! Counterattack! Knock down all the planes of the Chinese! The commander of the American front, commanded loudly. Fighters of the Chinese Air Force circled in the sky and launched an attack on the artillery positions of the American army. Often a volley of bullets swept past, and many American artillery soldiers fell in a pool of blood. After the 25-kilogram aerial bomb mounted under the wing of the fighter plane fell on the artillery position of the US army, it was able to cause considerable damage to the US troops. Under such a blow, the artillery of the American army was greatly disturbed.

The U.S. air defense soldiers hurriedly began to raise their machine guns and began to capture the traces of the Chinese Air Force in the sky.

A fighter numbered 4118, which had just dropped two bombs under its wings, destroyed one of the American artillery pieces and killed several artillerymen. The pilot was ready to pull up the nose of the nose and then sweep the positions of the American troops with aviation machine guns. At this time, several pillars of fire burst up from the positions of the American troops. The American troops deployed in this artillery position opened fire.

"Da Da Da!" The dense bullets followed the fighters of the Chinese Air Force, and the wings of the fighters were punched several large holes. The pilot was taken aback and hurriedly began to evade, but it was still too late. The dense bullets directly broke the left wing of the fighter, and after losing its balance, the fighter roared towards the ground. As a last resort, the pilot on the fighter plane can only parachute to escape, but below is the position of the US military, and whether it can survive depends on God's blessing. The U.S. military suffered heavy losses in the squadron's attack, and it is difficult to say whether the U.S. military will use the Chinese pilots to vent its hatred.

A few seconds later, the damaged fighter was planted on the ground, exploded and caught fire, and a small white flower appeared in the sky. After the pilot landed, the American soldiers had already surrounded him.

"I surrender!" Before he could finish flying, the butt of the American soldier's rifle hit him and knocked him to the ground.

"Well done! Just do it, and shoot down all those Chinese flies! The soldiers of the U.S. military cheered when they saw the Chinese plane's fighter plane being shot down. During this period of time, the U.S. military has been bullied enough by the Chinese Air Force, and many U.S. soldiers have died in the bombing and sweeping of the Chinese Air Force. This time, the planes that were finally able to shoot down the Chinese Air Force came. Although this is only the first one, they believe that more and more Chinese Air Force planes will definitely be shot down by them.

Admiral Davis witnessed the Chinese Air Force fighter plane being shot down, and his face was immediately full of smiles, and the whole person was as happy as a child. As the commander of the U.S. Army, he knew that if the Chinese Air Force was not too strong, the defense line of the South Madre Mountains, which they focused on defending, would not have been broken through by the squadron so lightly. And now, the US military can finally fight back in the face of the Chinese Air Force.

The downing of the Chinese Air Force fighter plane made the other fighters nervous, and they pulled up their noses one after another and quickly climbed to a safe distance. However, in the process, there were still two fighters that did not escape the doom of being shot down. In one of them, the pilot was directly hit and died on the spot. The other pilot parachuted. The pilots of the Chinese Air Force did not expect that the US military would have the power to counterattack, and they caused heavy losses only when they were careless.

The officers and soldiers of the Chinese Army, as well as the officers and soldiers of the North Korean mercenaries, were also full of disbelief. In the past, they all regarded the Chinese Air Force as an invincible savior. And now, the fighter plane of the Air Force has actually been shot down, which has suddenly dealt a big blow to the originally high morale. However, most people believe that this is nothing more than a coincidence.

The high shè machine gun shot down by the US military against the Chinese Air Force fighter is the latest research result of the US military, using a caliber of 12.7 mm, and the effective shè height has reached 2,000 meters, which has extremely strong lethality against the fighters and airships of the Chinese Air Force. Judging from the preliminary table of the battlefield of Tongguò, the xing ability of this machine gun is not bad.

Three fighters were shot down, making the fighters of the Chinese Air Force behind also become cautious. In particular, after the slower H5 'Hongyan' bombers arrived on the battlefield, they were strictly ordered to drop bombs only at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters. Although this ensures the safety of the fighter, the hit rate is very low. The bombing effect of forty H5 'Hongyan' fighters can even be described as pitiful. Less than 100 American troops were killed, and most of the bombs were off target.

At this time, the commander of the Air Force re-issued the order, fighters and dive bombers, focusing on attacking the air defense positions of the American army. Only after destroying the US air defense positions can the Air Force launch a large-scale bombing of the US military.

"Boom!" An FH5 Falcon dive bomber roared towards an American air defense position, and the US army's high-ranking machine gunner quickly adjusted his bearing, but dived himself down at an angle of 60 degrees, reaching the distance of the bomb almost in a few seconds, without giving the American troops much time to react. A black aerial bomb fell from under the belly of the dive bomber and landed straight on the US air defense position.

"Boom!" The 500-kilogram aerial bomb was so powerful that the entire air defense position of the American army was swept away by the explosion. After the smoke cleared, a large crater with a diameter of several meters had appeared on the ground, and the mutilated corpses of American soldiers were scattered around, and as for the boats of high shè machine guns, they had already been blown into parts.

The dive bombers carried out dive bombing of the US air defense positions, and the results achieved were very great, and many US air defense positions were destroyed by the dive bombers. Fighter planes also circled down and swept and bombed the US air defense positions, and also achieved considerable success. However, during the one-hour bombing, the Chinese Air Force lost six fighters and one dive bomber! rs！。
