On the left flank, American soldiers poured into the trenches, and fierce hand-to-hand combat continued. The situation was extremely critical, a commando team came up to support, and with the explosion of dense grenades, the follow-up American soldiers were suppressed, and the soldiers seemed to be red-eyed, and in the flashing bayonet waves, the American soldiers were all killed. "Who is the commander of this position?" The officers who came up to support shouted loudly. A lieutenant in the pile of dead men said in a weak voice: "I am! The officer hurriedly came to the battalion commander and said, "How are you?" The battalion commander pointed to the position, and then to himself.

Finally, the battalion commander pointed in the direction of the American army, his lips squirmed, his head tilted, and his eyes widened as if to say that the position is handed over to you. The officer gently closed the battalion commander's eyelids with his hand and said, "Don't worry, as long as I live, I will never let the US army step on the battlefield!" "Report, the U.S. military is attacking again!" One soldier shouted, "Prepare for battle!" The officer immediately picked up a light machine gun and began to strafe wildly, and the brutal battle was thrilling.

The 4th Division, with about 3,000 troops, was all engaged in the left flank defense, and the 7th Brigade of the 18th Division was also fully engaged in the left flank operation. However, in the face of the frantic attack of the US military, there are still dangers. Positions are often breached, and then counterattacked. The 5th Division, which was responsible for the defense of the left flank, had already suffered more than half of the casualties, and although it had invested vital forces, the lack of ammunition had caused the defensive position to be fragmented. Because the two sides often fought together, the bombing efficiency of the US fighters decreased, and the supporting artillery fire was also somewhat restricted, which weakened the pressure on the defending troops.

The commanders in the military headquarters kept their eyes fixed on the map, and a red arrow to the north of Lockspulos was gradually moving south. But very slowly. The chief of staff understood the mood of the commander, and he was looking forward to the arrival of the armored brigade. "Commander, the armored brigade is calling. We are still 90 kilometers away, and the armored brigade has already broken down almost 100 tank fighting vehicles due to the difficulty of the road. It seems that the road conditions in the north are really difficult to navigate. The corps headquarters called, and the expeditionary force command had ordered the armored brigade to order the motorized regiment to be the first to rush to the battlefield. ”

"It sounds like good news, but the motorized regiment has too few troops, and the key is whether the tank and combat vehicles can arrive at the battlefield in time. The vanguard of the 19th Army hurried with all its might, and it was estimated that it would not arrive until after dark. We are running out of ammunition. That's what worries me the most. "Report, the surface positions on the left flank are occupied by American troops!" An operational staff officer made an urgent report. "Commander, are you abandoning your surface positions?" "No, I can't. At this time, it is necessary to repeatedly fight with the US army for surface positions, although the casualties are large, but it can delay time. ”

In the U.S. front-line headquarters, Howell heard that the enemy's surface position on the left flank had been captured. Overjoyed: "The warriors of the 82nd Army are good. Continue to intensify the offensive and break through the enemy's defenses in one fell swoop. "Report to the general, the enemy desperately counterattacked and the surface position was recaptured!" A combat staff officer reported in a deep voice. Howell's excitement immediately fell to the bottom, and he stopped and said: "The enemy's surface position has been captured, indicating that the enemy's defense has reached the point of exhaustion, and the 82nd Army is ordered to continue to intensify its attack." ”

"Report to the General, the Denver Garrison Division has arrived!" When Howell heard this, he came to his senses again: "Order the Denver garrison to immediately throw in the left flank attack, the enemy is already a strong crossbow." In the final dying throes. Their ammunition is getting less and less, and they can't last long on their flesh and blood. Sue the whole army. Now is the most critical time. Perhaps God was against him, and suddenly there was a violent explosion in the sky, and I saw two warplanes colliding together, like two fireballs falling from the sky.

The place where the fighter plane fell happened to be the left flank of the US military's key attack, the area of the US army's assault force. Fragments of the fighter plane fell from the sky and smashed on the heads of the American soldiers, followed by a series of explosions. Under the flames of the explosion, the American soldiers were killed and wounded, and the tidal wave of attack was suddenly disintegrated. The soldiers in the trenches were already loading their bayonets and preparing to attack hand-to-hand combat. The soldiers in the trenches were almost stunned by the sudden appearance of such a scene. The opportunity was rare, and the clever officer ordered the immediate seizure of the guns and ammunition of the American soldiers.

Two US fighter planes fell into the charge line of US soldiers, severely damaging at least one regiment of US soldiers, and this blow affected morale. When the commander of the US 82nd Army saw such a scene, he was so angry that he vomited blood and scolded the Air Force for being incompetent. This wave of charging soldiers was so demoralized that the commander of the 82nd Army had to order this wave of charging soldiers to withdraw and replace them with another batch. The temporary cessation of the attack gave the officers and men of the left flank a respite, and the defending soldiers took the opportunity to collect a large number of weapons and ammunition discarded by the American soldiers.

The armored brigade received an order from the command of the expeditionary force and was immediately dispatched by Kote. Due to the difficulty of the road, it was impossible for the trucks carrying the foster care to reach the banks of the Logan River. The reconnaissance found that the Logan River could not be crossed at all, so it had to be detoured along the Logan River. Trucks could not accompany the detour along the Logan River, so the tanks had to bring their own fuel. Each tank tank tank was strapped to several large oil drums and traveled long distances at full speed. The original straight-line distance was 400 kilometers, but now the detour will be extended by about 650 kilometers. At such a long distance, the tank brigade was met for the first time.

The tank brigade trudged hard along the valley of the Logan River, and from time to time the broken tanks along the way fell behind. In the tank platoon commanded by Xiao Fei, one tank broke down and stayed behind, followed by Liu Guoliang, with three tanks intact. And Tong Zhuang and Ding Dong only had the tank they were riding. Tanks and combat vehicles are riveting forward, and no one is willing to lag behind. Suddenly, the engine of the tank made a strange noise, and then smoke came out, and the tank rushed forward for some distance and did not move. "Platoon commander, engine failure!" The driver looked depressed and a little apprehensive. "That's what you don't care about. Still stunned, what to do to fix it quickly. ”

Tong Zhuang lifted the turret and saw the tank commanded by Ding Dong passing by at high speed. "Haha, Brother Tong, you kid is running fast, why can't you eat hot tofu in a hurry," Ding Dong shouted excitedly and roared by, seeing that he was running away. Tong Zhuang snorted angrily: "Damn, two-thirds of the way I walked, Lao Tzu's luck was too bad." Looking at Ding Dong in the distance, he was still waving his arms and said, "Don't be complacent, you kid, maybe it's your turn!" Tong Zhuang knew that he would not be able to participate in the battle.

Tank tanks began to move south along the Logan Valley, and the terrain became flat. At this time, the motorcycle regiment suddenly increased its speed. Whistling south, Xiao Fei knew in his heart that there was a problem with Rock Springs' defense. This is to let the motorized regiment be the first to rush to the battlefield. The road became smooth, and Ding Dong commanded the tank to go hand in hand with Xiao Fei. Seeing Ding Dong, Xiao Fei asked, "Tong Zhuangna?" Aren't the two of you together? "Tong Zhuang nodded his back, his chariot broke down." Ding Dong was smug, but he didn't expect the tank to suddenly hit a dirt bag.

I saw that the tank shook violently, and then the engine came out of the smoke and did not move. Xiao Fei looked back at Ding Dong's stupid figure and secretly thought: This is called the retribution of joke people. Liu Guoliang drove the tank up and went hand in hand. "Brother Xiao, the motorcycle regiment took the lead in rushing to the battlefield, and it seems that the defense of the 2nd Army has reached a difficult point. At the current speed, at least dusk will be able to reach the battlefield. It's a real rush to death. Xiao Fei said: "You and I are in a hurry, the Expeditionary Force Headquarters, the Corps Headquarters, and especially all the officers and soldiers of the 2nd Army are even more anxious." The company commander just reported. So far, half of the tanks and combat vehicles of the brigade have broken down, and about 100 tanks have broken down. ”

"I hope there will be no problems with our tanks, thanks to the usual maintenance, otherwise we will be ugly." Liu Guoliang was a little complacent. "Brother Liu. The tanks of your platoon are usually well maintained. Now see the gap. At this time, there was a rumbling cannon sound in front of them, and the two of them were shocked when they heard it, and they raised their binoculars together. Tank fighting vehicles picked up speed. Soon, the dense gunfire ahead was clear, indicating that Rock Springs was still in his own hands. Xiao Fei got into the turret and drove the tank to the battlefield.

At about 4 p.m., Commander Howell threw the entire Denver Garrison Division into a left-flank attack. Howell wanted to let the fresh force tear through the line of defense with the final blow and break through the enemy positions in one fell swoop. The entire Denver garrison division of the US army was dispatched, and the enemy positions on the opposite side were quiet. The soldiers in the trenches were all bayoneted. The ammunition in their hands was gone, and each soldier had a grenade in his hand. One of the regimental commanders, also with a rifle loaded with a bayonet in his hand, shouted: "Brothers. The time has come to test us at the end, and we will repel the enemy's attack with our flesh and blood. ”

In the military headquarters, all the generals had solemn faces, and everyone knew that the ammunition of the left flank defense unit had been depleted, and all the soldiers were facing brutal hand-to-hand combat. It was said that the reinforcements were coming, but there was still no one. At this moment, everyone is not in a hurry and seems unusually calm. "Send a report to the corps headquarters, all the officers and men of our 2nd Army will fight to the last man!" After the commander finished speaking, he put on a steel helmet, and all the generals and officers, including the officers, also put on steel helmets. Time seems to be frozen, and the remnant sun is like fire.

The American charging soldiers, who seemed a little timid in the face of the enemy's quiet position, cautiously approached the trenches. At this moment, suddenly a dense burst of gunfire came from the north, and the motorized regiment of the armored brigade rushed to the battlefield at a critical moment. The sound of hundreds of two- and three-wheeled motorcycles and hundreds of machine guns was enough to shock every soldier. The motorized regiment bravely rushed into the battlefield from the north, sweeping all the way, and the charging American soldiers were overturned on their backs.

At the U.S. command, Howell saw that the U.S. assault force was approaching the enemy's territory, but the enemy still did not move. He knew in his heart that the enemy army was ready for hand-to-hand combat. Victory was in sight, and Howell finally breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, there was a dense burst of gunfire from the north, followed by a deafening roar of motors. Seeing the chaos in the stormtrooper formation, Howell was surprised and asked, "What happened!" At this time, a subordinate ran in from outside and said, "Report to the general, there is an enemy motorized unit in the north." ”

The chief of staff panicked: "The enemy's armored forces have a motorized unit, and it could be that the enemy's tank fighting vehicles are coming from the north." At this time, the American assault force retreated like a tide, and Howell ordered to block the enemy onslaught. The officers and men in the trenches were shocked to hear that reinforcements had arrived, and their morale was immediately boosted, and they immediately launched a counterattack. The U.S. forces were routed on all fronts and panicked. "Your Excellency, there are no enemy tanks in the north, and it is difficult for the enemy to take us from the east, and the situation is not good, so we should retreat immediately."

What it means that the enemy's tank forces are coming up, Howell knows very well and can't help but look up to the sky and say: "It was God who abandoned us and ordered the Denver Guard Division to immediately retreat to the east." After all, the strength of the motorized regiment is limited, and it is not easy to break up the offensive of the US army, and the counterattacking officers and men in the trenches cannot pursue them quickly because of the continuous campaign, and the US troops have no danger of retreating. If the US army chooses to continue fighting at this time, there is no problem at all, after all, the tank and combat vehicles did not arrive on the battlefield. However, when the US officers and men heard that the enemy's tank units were coming, they immediately lost the battle and fled in a hurry.

Xiao Fei and his comrades rushed to the battlefield, and the American army had fled to the east. Without the slightest hesitation, everyone began to pursue the fleeing enemy army eastward. The motorized regiment made a decisive assault and lost a third of its troops. At this time, the sound of gunfire shifted to the east, and the motorized regiment served as a battlefield guard. Seeing that the soldiers on the battlefield were all lying on the ground and sleeping, the regiment commander's eyes moistened. The regimental commander walked to the military headquarters on foot and found that many sentries were actually asleep at their posts. This is especially true within the military department, where once the excessive tension is relaxed, the extreme fatigue puts them into an uncontrollable situation...... (To be continued......)
