"Oh God! Those yellow-skinned monkeys are too cunning for us to hit them, and they can destroy our anti-tank fire points at will. What should I do? Lieutenant General Cole was shocked. Originally, he also wanted to see the anti-tank units of the US army ravage the armored forces of the Chinese army. But now, the situation is completely reversed, and the armored forces of the Chinese army have ravaged the anti-tank units of the American army.

"Damn! How so? Admiral Davis also cursed. He suddenly felt that he had thought too much about it before, and the armored forces of the Chinese Army were not as easy to deal with as he had expected! Yesterday's victory was only because the Chinese armored forces were defenseless, so they approached the US defense line, and after being hit by US anti-tank weapons, they panicked and gave the US troops a chance. Now, the Chinese armored forces have been prepared, and quickly figured out the performance of the US army's anti-tank weapons, and quickly formulated relevant tactics to effectively restrain the US army's anti-tank forces.

Watching one anti-tank fire point after another be destroyed under the blows of the Chinese Army's armored forces made Admiral Davis very frightened. Once these anti-tank fire points are removed, the Chinese armored forces will definitely launch a large-scale assault. At that time, the US defense line will not be able to withstand the attack of the Chinese armored forces. This has been proven in previous battles.

"Order the artillery to fire! The armored forces of the Chinese are now moving forward and backward in a fixed range, and the likelihood of being hit has increased a lot. Let the artillery work harder and destroy the armored forces of the Chinese as much as possible! Admiral Davis ordered. Before. The armored units of the Chinese Army move quickly. The heavy artillery units of the US army wanted to destroy the armored forces of the Chinese Army. The hit rate will be very low. And now, in order to destroy the anti-tank fire points of the US army, the tanks of the Chinese army have slowed down a lot, which gives the US army an opportunity.

"But General, the Chinese's plane is still in the sky!" Lieutenant General Cole reminded. If the US heavy artillery units open fire now, they will inevitably be bombed by the Chinese Air Force. There are still nearly 100 Chinese planes in the sky, which will definitely be able to severely damage the heavy artillery units of the US army.

"Now we have no choice, the armored forces of the Chinese are too much of a threat to us. If you can destroy the armored forces of the Chinese, even if all the heavy artillery is lost, it will be worth it! Admiral Davis said firmly.

"Yes, General, I see, I will give the order to open fire to the heavy artillery units immediately!" Lieutenant General Cole nodded. He also knew that if the Chinese armored forces could not be stopped, the anti-tank fire points of the American army would be destroyed one by one. At that time, the US army will lose the most effective weapon against the armored forces of the Chinese. It became inevitable that the U.S. defense line would be broken through.

The heavy artillery units of the US army after receiving the order. Immediately entered the position, and according to the pre-marked shooting elements. Prepare to start shelling of the armored units of the Chinese Army in front of the American lines. It's just that the Chinese side has long been guarding against this move by the US military, and the US artillery entered the position on a large scale and was immediately discovered by fighters in the sky. Suddenly, all the F5 'Haidongqing' fighters and H5 'Hongyan' bombers began to fly towards the US artillery positions. The F5 'Haidongqing' fighter fired with an aviation machine gun, shooting and killing the US troops who were preparing to open fire. The H5 'Hongyan' bombers dropped bombs at a high speed of about 1,000 meters, and each of these H5 'Hongyan' bombers carried 20 50-kilogram aerial bombs, and often one H5 'Hongyan' bomber could plunge the US artillery positions into a sea of fire.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Dense aerial bombs exploded on the artillery positions of the US troops, the US artillery on the positions were killed, and the remaining people scattered and fled. The bombing of the Chinese Air Force made them lose the courage to continue fighting.

"Da Da Da! Boom! Boom! Boom! "Anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, which provided anti-aircraft protection for the artillery positions of the American army, also opened fire quickly. From time to time, a fighter plane of the Chinese Air Force was hit, and then crashed to the ground with a long smoke in tow, and before the fighter plane crashed, the pilot had successfully parachuted. It's just that it's hard to say whether they can escape back to the Chinese side of the control zone. The Chinese Army's reconnaissance unit will also rescue the parachuted pilots, but the U.S. military will also send troops to hunt down the parachuted pilots. Not many of these parachuted pilots were successfully rescued. Most of them would have been captured by the U.S. military, and a few would have been executed by the U.S. military. In the fierce battlefield, it is always difficult to guarantee the safety of prisoners of war, and even if there is a warning from the Chinese side, the Chinese side cannot fully know that the US military is going to quietly execute some prisoners of war.

The Chinese Air Force's FH5 Falcon dive bombers also joined the attack, bombing the US air defense positions and creating a passage for the H5 'Hongyan' bombers behind. Often, a 500-kilogram medium aerial bomb carried by an FH5 Falcon dive bomber was enough to destroy an American air defense position. Moreover, when diving, the speed is very fast, and it is difficult for the US anti-aircraft fire point to hit. It's just that after the bomb is dropped, it is easy to be hit when it is pulled up. But even so, it is unlikely that the US anti-aircraft fire will hit the fighters of the Chinese Air Force. In the face of a blow from the sky, the ground firepower was already at an absolute disadvantage.

The U.S. military in San Luis Potosi had a total of hundreds of heavy artillery pieces, scattered among dozens of artillery positions, large and small. Even if the Chinese Air Force bombarded the artillery positions of the US army, it would not be possible to attack dozens of positions at the same time, which led to the launch of artillery bombardments at some of the US artillery positions. One after another, 105-mm and 155-mm howitzer shells fell in front of the US defense line, blowing up huge craters one after another. The power of heavy artillery is not even able to withstand the T5 'Gepard' medium tank, let alone the T4 'Wild Wolf' light tank and Z4 wheeled armored vehicles. Although the frontal armor of the tank is thick, the armor above the turret is relatively weak, and it may not be a problem to defend against ordinary mortars, but it is powerless when it comes to large-caliber howitzers.

When the large-caliber howitzers of the US army fell, the tanks that were destroying the US anti-tank fire point suddenly scattered and fled in all directions as if they had blown up a pot. If you take a medium howitzer shell, there is absolutely no chance of survival.

Even so, there were a couple of tanks who, after all, were unlucky and were hit by shells that fell from the sky. The fragile turret was lightly lifted open, and when the shells exploded, the entire tank became a pile of burning scrap metal, and all the tankmen inside were killed.

Once the tanks began to move quickly, the heavy artillery of the US army was not so easy to hit, except for the particularly unlucky ones, which happened to be hit, the rest of the tanks were basically able to avoid the heavy artillery bombardment of the US army.

At the same time, the heavy artillery units of the 2nd Group Army of the Chinese Army also immediately suppressed the artillery of the US army, and those 155 mm heavy howitzers and 155 mm heavy cannons could accurately send shells to the US artillery positions under the guidance of observation balloons and aircraft in the sky. The artillery positions of the US army were suddenly plunged into a sea of fire.

The shelling of the US troops lasted only a dozen minutes before it had to be interrupted. This is because, under the joint attack of the Chinese Air Force and heavy artillery units, the US artillery and heavy artillery lost more than half of it in just 10 minutes, and if it continues to persevere, I am afraid that all of them will be destroyed within half an hour; such a huge loss, but the results achieved are very limited; in the heavy artillery bombardment of the US army, the armored units of the 2nd Group Army of the Chinese Army have only lost more than 10 tanks and armored vehicles. Although such losses are not small, they are somewhat insignificant compared to the huge losses of the US military. In order to avoid the destruction of all heavy artillery, the US military can only stop this loss-making business.

The fighters of the Chinese Air Force in the sky quickly withdrew after the bombing was finished. It took less than 10 minutes for this batch of fighters to leave, and the next batch of hundreds of fighters arrived. As a result, the Chinese Air Force has always maintained hundreds of fighters over US military positions, which can suppress the US military.

Without the interference of the US artillery units, the armored units of the 2nd Group Army of the Chinese Army could easily remove all the remaining anti-tank fire points of the US army. By the time the last American anti-tank fire point was destroyed, only half of the time had passed.

At this time, all the tanks and armored vehicles of the 2nd Army's armored brigade were no longer threatening, and they approached in front of the US defense line one after another to suppress the US troops. At the same time, trucks, which had already been prepared in the rear positions, also rushed to the defense line of the American army. When the trucks arrived at the U.S. anti-tank trenches, they dumped gravel loaded inside. Although the anti-tank trenches of the US army are more than two meters wide and close to three meters, they are only 1.5 meters deep. Often, a dozen trucks loaded with sand and gravel can fill a section of an anti-tank trench.

Soon, the anti-tank trenches of the American army were filled in more than a dozen passages. At this time, the T4 'Wild Wolf' light tank was the first to penetrate these anti-tank trenches and kill the American positions, followed by the soldiers of the 141st Infantry Regiment of the Army. And the rest of the T5 "Cheetah" medium tanks continued to suppress the firing points of the American army.

By the time the anti-tank trenches in front of the American lines were broken through, the American lines of defense were already in front of the armored units of the 2nd Army. Breaking through these lines of defense is not a problem for the strong armored forces! (To be continued......)
