Trenches and communication trenches crisscross each other, linking the front and rear lines of defense. A hundred meters in front of the position, there was a one-meter-high wire. On the positions, machine-gun fire points were everywhere. At the back of the position, there were hidden artillery positions.

"It seems that these Americans have not spent this month in vain! Such a solid defensive position was actually established! Admiral Gao Chang put down the binoculars and sighed. When we fought a few years ago, the combat effectiveness of the US Army was still very low, and their tactics were completely stuck in a few decades ago. But now, it seems to have completely changed.

"Americans have been catching up with us for several years. At least, in terms of firepower of the troops, it is already not much worse than ours. Light machine guns are also attached to the squad level. The Americans' industrial strength is strong, and when they are determined to improve their military power, no country can compare with them! Lieutenant General Yang Ming, Chief of Staff, also sighed.

"Commander, this battle is still left to our division! The Americans have become stronger, but we are stronger! I promise, to break through the Americans' defenses! Major General He Bingju, commander of the 11th Division, pleaded.

"Commander, we Marines are not stupid vegetarians. Not only can we fight landing operations and attack fortified operations, but we also have nothing to say! Major General Li Xutong, commander of the 3rd Marine Division, also asked for help.

"Don't worry! Some of these battles were fought. I'm afraid this battle is a tough battle! Major General Gao Chang said.

"Commander. Either we will use cavalry and go around the San Pedro mountain. Attack the back of the Americans? Lieutenant General Yang Ming, Chief of Staff, said.

"The Americans had only one corps at the front, and one more corps in San Luis Potosí. Even if the cavalry brigade bypassed, it would be useless. How long will it take for the other army of the Americans to arrive? Admiral Gao Chang asked. The Americans in San Luis Potosí only have two armies of 100,000 people, so the tactics of the US military are still relatively cautious. Once the other army arrives, and the U.S. forces have about three times the advantage in strength, the U.S. forces probably won't continue to defend.

"The First Army of the American Army. There are still about 200 kilometers to San Luis Potosí, and it will take at least five to six days to get there! If needed, send a cavalry brigade to delay their movements! Lieutenant General Yang Ming said.

Admiral Gao Chang nodded, and then said, "That's it!" Cavalry brigade, unless, tomorrow morning. The First Army of the Americans was delayed. The 11th Division of the Army and the 3rd Division of the Marine Corps, tomorrow we will begin preparations for the offensive, and we will have only ten days at most! ”

"Yes, Commander!" Everyone replied. Everyone knows that a vicious battle is about to begin. Whether the invincible glory of the ** team can continue to be maintained depends on this battle!

On the morning of February 26. The cavalry brigades of the Sixth Army were the first to delay the movement of the American First Army. And the 11th Division of the Army and the 3rd Division of the Marine Corps are ready to attack! The artillery brigade of the Sixth Army, the artillery battalion of the 11th Division of the Army and the artillery battalion of the 3rd Marine Division were also ready for shelling. In the face of the strong fortifications of the American army. Whether or not they can knock on the door of the US military's defense depends on the artillery.

8 a.m. After having breakfast early, the soldiers of the 111th Regiment of the 11th Division of the Army had already entered the forward position. Their regiment will serve as the first wave of the attack on the US military. The 11th Division of the Army is an old unit, and its combat effectiveness is also relatively strong among the dozens of infantry divisions in China.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Just after ten o'clock, the artillery of the squadron began shelling. The artillery brigade of 48 155-mm heavy howitzers, 48 155-mm heavy cannons, 144 105-mm light howitzers, began a heavy shelling of American positions. 12 155-mm heavy howitzers plus 36 105-mm light howitzers from the artillery battalions of the 11th Division and the 3rd Marine Division also opened fire. For a time, the dense artillery kept falling on the positions of the US troops, and the orange-red fireballs kept flashing on the positions of the US troops, and the black smoke of gunpowder completely enveloped the positions of the US troops!

The power of more than 300 heavy guns firing at the same time was like the earth shaking the mountains, which made people deeply shocked!

"Good boy! With such a fierce shelling, the Yankees will not be able to hold out no matter how tall and big they are! When the time comes, we will be able to take the positions of the Americans with one charge! Many Chinese soldiers, after seeing the fierce artillery fire, couldn't help but sigh like this.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Less than ten minutes after the Chinese artillery began shelling, the American artillery also began to counterattack. In the St. Louis Valley, the U.S. military also deployed a large number of artillery pieces. On more than 20 artillery positions, more than 200 artillery pieces were dispersed. These cannons, all of which have a caliber of more than 105 mm. Obviously, the artillery of the Chinese Army, in the last war, left a deep impression on the US military. The U.S. Army, too, has strengthened its artillery. It's just that the scale of the artillery has not yet reached the scale of the squadron for the time being!

"Heavy cannon battalions and heavy howitzer battalions, ready to suppress enemy artillery!" The artillery observation balloon in the sky has already transmitted the direction of the American artillery. The heavy cannon battalion and the heavy howitzer battalion have adjusted their firing units. The focus of their strikes will be on the artillery of the US army! Only by destroying the enemy can you protect yourself!

"Boom! Rumble! Under the guidance of the observation balloon, the artillery of the squadron began to deal with the artillery positions of the American army one by one. And the heavy artillery units of the US army also began to deal with the Chinese artillery.

The artillery battle was carried out very tragically! At this time, the psychological element of the artillery was very tested. Even if the artillery exploded on the position, the artillerymen who were not killed were still firing fiercely. Many of the gunners took off their clothes, went bare-chested, and desperately fired the cannons.

"Boom!" One cannon hit one of the gun emplacements, and all of them were destroyed, even with men and cannons.

The fierce artillery battle between the two sides lasted for more than half an hour before it ended. The performance of the US army's artillery is somewhat worse than that of China's artillery. At the same time, there is a certain gap in the suzhì of artillery. This made this artillery battle, and the US army was completely suppressed. In order to preserve their strength, the American artillery had to retreat and put the target of the attack on the Chinese infantry behind.

In this artillery battle, the US army lost more than 60 cannons, while the Chinese artillery also lost 20 cannons, basically all of which were 105 mm light howitzers. Heavy howitzers and heavy cannons are positioned a little further back, and it is difficult for the artillery of the US army to reach them!

After the U.S. artillery took the initiative to retreat, the Chinese artillery once again targeted the U.S. positions. In the midst of the heavy shelling, it was as if the positions of the American troops had been plowed several times. Trenches were flattened, wires were blown up, and fire points were destroyed. Several American soldiers were hiding in the anti-artillery holes, shivering. They no longer have the same spirit, and their eyes are full of fear, as they were at the beginning of the war. Although there is protection from anti-artillery holes, this is not insurance. The anti-artillery holes of the civil structure simply could not withstand the bombardment of 155-mm heavy guns. Among the front-line troops of the US army, there are many companies, all of which were hit by heavy artillery because of the anti-artillery holes, and all the hundreds of people in the company were buried alive inside!

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the squadron's artillery fire began to extend deep into the positions of the American troops.

"Charge!" On the forward position of the squadron, the charge horn sounded. Officers at all levels, the order was given to attack. More than 4,000 men of the 111th Regiment jumped out of the position and rushed towards the American position two kilometers away. The infantry guns and heavy mortars of the regimental artillery company also began to move forward, ready to provide fire support for the attacking infantry!

"Get up! You cowards! The Chinese are coming, and if you want to live, you can only kill them all! The machine guns are set up and ready to fire! "The American soldiers who survived the shelling, driven by junior officers, entered the position and prepared to resist the attack of the squadron! The faces of many American soldiers were a little pale. This is normal, the first time I went to the battlefield, I saw that life quickly withered in the war, it was like this. As long as you get used to it, there will be no problem!

"Ready! Fire! "After the ** team assaulted less than 500 meters from the US military position, the US officer gave the order to open fire!

"Da Da Da! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! The sound of heavy machine guns and mortars rang out, and a dense stream of sub-guns and cannons swept towards the charging Chinese soldiers. The soldiers who rushed to the front immediately fell to the ground. The soldiers behind immediately fell to the ground.

The technical content of the mortar is not high, and this weapon first used by the squadron has now swept the world. The armies of almost all major powers are equipped with such an artillery to support infantry operations!

"Heavy machine guns, machine guns are erected. Mortars, knock out enemy fire points! The squadron, which was suppressed, immediately began to counterattack. Heavy machine guns were pushed up, and mortars began to fire.

"Dangdang!" The son hit the shield of the heavy machine gun with a crisp sound, but this did not frighten the brave soldiers!

"Da Da Da!" The squadron's heavy machine guns and mortars opened fire quickly to suppress the firing points on the American positions. The infantry on both sides also began to shoot at each other. The battle was fierce, and people were dying continuously.

"Whew! Shout! Suddenly, there was a piercing screech in the sky.

"Large-caliber artillery shelling, scattered and hidden!" Some experienced junior officers, their faces changed drastically, and they immediately gave orders! To be continued.
