"Attack the Yankees' artillery! A small team, follow me! "After the artillery of the US army began to shell, the fighters of the Chinese Air Force hovering in the sky immediately launched an attack on these artillerymen. Four FH5 Falcon dive bombers swooped down from a high altitude towards the artillery positions of the US army, making a shrill whistle as if it were about to burst people's eardrums!

"Fire! Knock down the Chinese fighters! "Anti-aircraft fire around the artillery positions of the American army, immediately reacted. Several anti-aircraft machine guns opened fire at once. A dense barrage of bullets shot at the fighters in the sky.

The swooping fighter planes, like light swallows, passed through the net of fire composed of anti-aircraft machine gun bullets of the US military. After descending to an altitude of more than 400 meters, the medium aerial bomb fell off from under the belly of the aircraft, and then the pilot of the fighter plane pulled up the control stick vigorously. Eventually, just over a hundred meters above the ground, the fighter jumped again.

"Boom!" An aerial bomb weighing five hundred kilograms fell on the artillery positions of the American army and exploded. After the bomb exploded, a huge orange-red fireball was formed, which blew up the bones of the nearby American artillery, and many of the cannons were directly overturned. Some of the shells stacked on the positions were also detonated, causing more damage to the American artillery.

Four FH5 Falcon dive bombers almost destroyed an artillery position with more than a dozen heavy guns, and after dropping the bombs, the Falcon dive bombers began to return home. Prepare to return to the airfield to replenish ammunition.

And those F5 'Haidongqing' fighters used the aviation machine guns in the nose to kill the artillerymen on the US artillery positions, almost every time they circled downward. will make a large number of American artillery fall in a pool of blood. The U.S. air defense forces also launched a fierce counterattack. As a result, several fighters of the Chinese Air Force were shot down. Although the pilot successfully parachuted, there was no position here, and even if he landed safely, he would be captured by the American army. It is difficult to say whether the US military, which has suffered heavy losses, will use these pilots to vent its anger. At the very least, the Chinese side has solemnly warned the US military that if Chinese officers and soldiers are captured by the US military and tortured and killed, if a Chinese officer or soldier dies, 100 Americans will be buried with him. In a Chinese prisoner of war camp. However, many of the millions of American prisoners of war were forcibly driven to work as coolies. If the U.S. military dares to kill captured Chinese officers and soldiers, they will have to pay a greater price. The consequence of this is that even if the Chinese officers and soldiers suffer at most after being captured, they will not have to worry about their lives, and the US Government is still afraid of retaliation from the Chinese side.

Although the bombing of the Air Force caused heavy losses to the artillery of the US Army, at the moment on the battlefield, the Air Force only had a few dozen planes, and they had to return to replenish ammunition after not dropping bombs. And it is not possible to completely suppress the artillery of the American army. It was not until the heavy artillery units of the Chinese Army began to suppress the heavy artillery units of the American Army that the American artillery had to withdraw from their positions. Again hidden. Otherwise, they will suffer even greater losses.

The U.S. artillery bombardment lasted less than twenty minutes, but at least more than 100 of their heavy guns were destroyed by Chinese Air Force fighters and Army artillery. And the results achieved by the US army, in addition to a few planes shot down by the air defense forces, are probably a few tanks and armored vehicles lost by the armored forces of the 2nd Army of the Chinese Army. After being hit by the American artillery, the armored units quickly dispersed, which further reduced the hit rate of the American artillery units. Therefore, in order to reduce losses, the US artillery had to stop this tactic, which did not outweigh the losses. Once the U.S. artillery is destroyed, it will be even more difficult for them to hold the line.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the armored units of the 2nd Group Army of the Chinese Army had already approached the US defense line, and the first few T5 'Cheetah' tanks were only more than 200 meters away from the US defense line. At this time, the third batch of fighters of the Air Force had already flown to the battlefield, including more than 20 F5 "Haidongqing" combat fighters and more than 20 FH5 "Falcon" dive bombers. Because it was mainly believed that it was to provide cover for armored forces, even the F5 "Haidongqing" fighter carried two 25-kilogram aerial bombs under the wings.

"The armored forces of the Chinese are coming up, so that the anti-tank units on the front line are ready, and let the Chinese taste our awesomeness!" Admiral Davis hid inside the U.S. Army's forward command and watched the situation at the front with a telescope. He was very excited when he saw that the tanks of the armored units of the Chinese Army were already very close to the positions of the American troops. Now is the time to test the usefulness of the anti-tank weapons of the US military.

On the front-line positions of the US army, the anti-tank units of the US army have long entered the positions. After the end of the artillery of the Chinese Army, they were ready for battle. By the time tanks of the Chinese Army's armored units appeared in front of them, these American officers and soldiers had already begun to manipulate their weapons.

"Sergeant, can we penetrate the tanks of the Chinese? The size of the Chinese tank is really too big, and the armor must be thick! A corporal said with some concern. They operated a 37-mm anti-tank gun. This anti-tank gun is capable of piercing 50 mm steel plates within 100 meters and 30 mm steel plates in 200 meters.

"I don't know, but the guys from China said they can deal with the Chinese's tanks, I hope it works!" The sergeant said that he was the commander of this gun group and was responsible for operating the anti-tank gun. There were six of them, hidden inside a firepower point covered by sandbags on the outside and reinforced concrete on the inside. The sergeant, who had participated in the Battle of Mexico's Central Defense Line, knew the tanks of the Chinese armored forces, and he knew that they were presented with the most powerful T5 'Cheetah' medium tank in the Chinese armored forces.

"Aim at the target, at a distance of two hundred and ten meters, fire!" The sergeant ordered.

A few seconds later, the 37-mm anti-tank gun opened fire. The armor-piercing projectile weighing 0.6 kilograms was fired at a T5 "Cheetah" tank at a speed of 700 meters per second under the action of huge kinetic energy. And at this moment, the tank did not realize that the crisis was coming.

"Bell!" Armor-piercing shells hit the T5 'Cheetah' tank head-on. The armor with a thickness of 57 mm effectively resisted the shot of this armor-piercing projectile, but the huge impact force made the tankmen inside the tank fall hard, and at the same time, they were a little dizzy from the shock.

"***, we've been hit, and the others are okay?" The commander got up and asked as he searched for his target.

Subsequently, the driver, the gunner replied one after another, that it was fine. Although when they fell, some cuts were made in the inside of the tank, and they had already begun to bleed, but such a small injury was not a big problem for them.

"Two hundred meters ahead, there is an American fire point, and it is this *** who hit us just now. Aim, knock out this fire point for Lao Tzu! The commander commanded loudly. Although the tank's armor was not penetrated, it scared them so much that if the armor wasn't thick enough, or if it hit the side of the tank, they might have been killed.

The turret of the tank immediately began to rotate and began to aim at that point of fire of the American troops.

"Damn, the tanks of the Chinese were not destroyed. I knew that those guys who only knew how to sit in the office couldn't be trusted! The sergeant officer of the U.S. Army yelled.

"Sergeant, what should we do now? Chinese tanks are aiming at us! The corporal shouted in horror.

"Don't worry, our fire point is made of reinforced concrete, and there is a layer of sandbags outside, and the Chinese tanks will not be able to penetrate our defenses!" The sergeant was reassured.

"Boom!" The body of the T5 "Cheetah" tank shook violently, and a 57 mm armor-piercing projectile had been fired from the tank gun, and under the action of huge kinetic energy, the armor-piercing projectile hit the firing point of the US army at a speed of 1,000 meters per second. The sandbags on the periphery of the fire point were instantly penetrated, and although the inside of the fire point was made of reinforced concrete, this layer was not thick and was destroyed in an instant. All the American soldiers inside were killed, and the anti-tank gun was destroyed.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "When the armored units were close to the American line of defense within two hundred meters, the American anti-tank guns and anti-tank guns opened fire. Not every T5 'Cheetah' tank had such good luck, some had bad luck and were flanked by American anti-tank guns. The armor on the side could not withstand the fire of the American anti-tank guns, and the tank was pierced by the light, and a large hole appeared, and the crew inside was also killed and wounded.

The anti-tank guns of the US army are not very powerful, and for the T5 'Cheetah' tank, it is completely tickling. But for those who approached the flanks of the T4 Wild Wolf light tank and the Z4 wheeled armored vehicles, it was extremely lethal.

Despite the counterattack by tanks and armored vehicles of the armored forces, the US army deployed at least hundreds of tank guns and a larger number of anti-tank guns on the front line. Because of the obstruction of the anti-tank trenches, the tanks of the armored forces could not cross for a while, and could only stop in place or turn around to find a passage through the anti-tank trenches, which exposed the vulnerable sides in front of the anti-tank forces of the US army, and caused the armored forces to suffer a greater blow.

"Boom!" A T4 "Wild Wolf" light tank was hit by an anti-tank gun of the US army, and the front armor of the "Wild Wolf" light tank was only 25 mm, and the side armor was only 15 mm, which could not withstand the bombardment of the US anti-tank gun at a distance of more than 100 meters, and was destroyed in an instant!
