Although, with the development of weapons, they are becoming more and more powerful, it is undeniable that people are always the most important factor on the battlefield. Each population is only more than 80 million, only one-seventh of China's, and the maximum mobilization of troops is much more sweeping than China's, if we can make the US military pay a huge price of casualties in every battle as much as possible, it will be more and more difficult for the US military to go to the back, and this is very helpful for China to finally defeat the United States.

"Lao Xie, this method is not bad, but can Americans be so stupid?" Admiral Du Qizheng was a little unconvinced.

"Whether the Americans believe it or not, we have to take advantage of it in defensive operations anyway. If we lose one casualty, the U.S. military will have to pay three or more. If this continues, the available strength of the US military will become less and less. This will be very beneficial for us in the next battle. Besides, if the U.S. military sees through our tactics, then they can't do anything about it. It's a big deal that we continue to attack, and after taking Hartiangis, we can continue to attack Tiera Corolada! Admiral Xie Dingkun said.

"Alright then, just do it. However, we have to ask Lord Zhao for instructions first! Admiral Du Qizheng said. Although everyone's military rank is general, Zhao Bo is the Minister of War after all, the number one person in the Chinese Army. Maybe when the war with the United States is over, he will become a field marshal.

"Hmm!" Admiral Xie Dingkun nodded, and then quickly asked the communications officer to send a telegram to Admiral Zhao Bo, who remained in Acapulco. Half an hour later, they received a reply from Admiral Zhao Bo, who agreed to their tactics. After all, China is fighting to completely destroy the United States, not just defeat the United States. Therefore. The Chinese side does not care about the gains or losses of one city or one place, and the main goal is to kill and damage the living forces of the US military as much as possible.

After receiving the support of Admiral Zhao Bo, Admiral Xie Dingkun immediately ordered the squadron to strengthen the defense of Heights No. 1 at night, repair the destroyed fortifications as much as possible, and at the same time set up a lot of mortar positions on the north side of the hillside, which could directly provide fire support to the front line. In addition, General Xie Dingkun also summoned the commander of the Japanese mercenaries, General Yoshimasa Oshima, and asked the Japanese mercenaries to fight tomorrow. Slow down the attack on Heights 2 a bit.

"General, what's going on? Is there something about the general's dissatisfaction with our battle today? If there is any dissatisfaction, please point it out to the general, and I will improve it once I do! General Yoshimasa Oshima immediately said with sincere fear.

"Haha! Rest assured. General Yoshimasa Oshima, the Japanese mercenaries have shown themselves very well in today's battle. I'm very happy with that. It's just that we need to change our tactics for the time being. Since the Americans want to recapture Heights 1, let them come, it's better to let them drain their blood on Heights 1! Admiral Xie Dingkun said.

"Ahh It turns out that this is the case, general, please rest assured, the Japanese mercenaries will fully cooperate with the actions of the squadron! General Yoshimasa Oshima hurriedly said. Of course, he knew that if the Japanese mercenaries took the No. 2 heights. Then the U.S. forces will lose confidence in the next battle, so that they will most likely abandon Hartian Geis and retreat to Tierra Cororada. According to the information reported by the Chinese side, the US military still has six more armies in Tierra Cororada. More than 300,000 people. In the past two days, the U.S. military has only caused tens of thousands of casualties, and once the main force of the U.S. army is withdrawn to Tierra Cororada, it will be even more difficult to break through the defense line of the U.S. army's heavy defense. Though. This will cause the Japanese mercenaries to lose more people and leave more corpses under Height 2. But Yoshima Yoshimasane can't refute it. Otherwise, the life of the Japanese mercenaries will be even more difficult. Since the Japanese have decided to be lackeys, they have to work hard to be good lackeys, regardless of casualties, and cooperate with the master's plan as much as possible, which is the criterion that a good lackey must follow.

General Xie Dingkun was very satisfied with the cooperation of the Japanese mercenaries. After all, this would have caused even greater losses to the Japanese mercenaries. And Yoshimasa Oshima is not a fool, he certainly knows what the consequences of doing this will be.

On January 30, fierce fighting between China and the United States continued in Hartie Angis. After learning that one of the high ground in Hartian Geis had been destroyed, Admiral Pershing immediately sent a telegram to Lieutenant General George, in which General Pershing asked Lieutenant General George to recapture the high ground so that the American troops could hold on to Hartian Geis and inflict as much damage as possible on the squadron. At the same time, Admiral Pershing also asked Lieutenant General George to strengthen the defense of Heights No. 2 to prevent this heights from being captured by the squadron as well.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the American artillery again carried out a fierce shelling of the No. 1 height, and the Chinese defenders on it had already taken refuge in the anti-artillery holes when the American artillery bombardment began, leaving only a small number of observers on the outside positions. The fortifications on the high ground were repaired overnight, and they were not very strong, but they were much better than being exposed to the outside and being bombarded by American artillery.

The Chinese artillery was also ready for a long time, and as soon as the American artillery fired, the Chinese artillery immediately suppressed the American artillery. All 155mm heavy howitzers and 155mm heavy cannons were put into suppressing the American artillery. The remaining 105-mm light howitzers launched a fierce artillery bombardment on the No. 2 high ground defended by the US troops, killing and injuring as many US troops as possible who were defending the positions.

Half an hour later, the American artillery again paid the price of dozens of guns destroyed, and then withdrew from the artillery position. Next, the infantry of the American army began to launch a fierce attack on the No. 1 height. And the squadron of the defensive position, after the end of the artillery bombardment of the American army, got out of the anti-artillery hole, entered the position, shot at the attacking American troops, and sent these Americans to their god with the weapons in their hands!

"Da Da Da! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! "There was a fierce exchange of fire between the two sides, bullets and shells flew through the air, and both sides paid a great price. However, in general, the squadrons in the defense have a great advantage, they are condescending, have a wider field of vision, and can inflict great casualties on the attacking American troops with the weapons in their hands. However, the casualties inflicted by the U.S. military on the squadron were very limited.

When the U.S. forces began to attack Heights No. 1, Japanese mercenaries also launched attacks on Heights No. 2. Senior General Yoshimasa Oshima carried out Admiral Xie Dingkun's order very well and weakened the attack on the US positions. In the past, the Japanese mercenaries would put two or three wings into each attack, but on this day, they only had one wing for each attack, and they were no longer as fearless as before, but approached the US army's position with their waists, and once the US troops began to fire, they immediately lay on the ground, shoot at the US troops, and kill the US soldiers with more accurate marksmanship than the US army.

In the face of this change in the Japanese mercenaries, although the US military felt a little surprised, they did not think much about it. They took it for granted that the Japanese mercenaries had suffered heavy losses in the previous two days of fighting, and that they had to reduce the intensity of their attacks now. However, this is exactly what the US military wants to see. When the Japanese mercenaries attacked fiercely, although they inflicted great casualties on the Japanese mercenaries, the losses of the US troops themselves were not small. Although the casualties of the US military were much smaller than those of the Japanese mercenaries, the US military still felt that it had suffered a loss. After all, they killed all Japanese mercenaries, while their real enemy squadrons were hiding behind.

This strange phenomenon occurred on the battlefield of Hartiangis, where on Heights 1, the American army desperately attacked the squadron defending it, leaving corpses on the hillside, and the blood left from the corpses of the American soldiers who died in the battle almost stained the ground on the hillside red. It is foreseeable that the vegetation on this plateau will grow very lush in the coming year. On Heights 2, the pressure on the U.S. military is much less.

After the battle on January 30, the U.S. army left at least 10,000 divisions and regiments under the No. 1 high ground, while the squadron in defense lost only half a regiment and more than 2,000 men. And a large part of them were killed in the shelling of the American army. Once the artillery losses of the American army are getting bigger and bigger, the losses of the squadron will be further reduced.

On 1 February, fierce fighting continued in Hartiangis, with soldiers from both sides fighting bloody battles around the high ground on either side of Hartiangis. But overall, the U.S. military has to pay more casualties. Seeing the American soldiers fall one after another on the way to attack, the generals of the squadron all had smiles on their faces. The greater the losses of the American troops, the happier they were. The greater the losses of the American forces at Hartiangis, the less difficult it will be for the squadron to attack Tierra Corolada. Anyway, the big war between China and the United States cannot end in a short time, and the squadron has enough time to consume the living forces of the American army until the final victory is won at a small cost.

Now that the European Allies and the Entente are in a state of armistice, the eyes of the world are focused on the Sierra Madre do Sul in southwestern Mexico, and the countries of the world are also paying great attention to this direct battle between China and the United States. However, the war had been going on for several days, but the squadron had been held back from the small town of Hartiangis, much to the disappointment of many countries that had great hopes for China. And many of the Entente members sent congratulatory telegrams to the United States, believing that the American army was enough to withstand the attack of the squadron!
