Seven-Four-Four Blitz (4)

Hundreds of asymmetrical three-bladed propellers hum deafeningly on the wide, dry bed of the Salt River, and a powerful whirlwind of V-cooled engines from the Hanyang Engine Plant blew the entire tarmac into dust. 【 I want: super fast update 】

Hundreds of strangely dressed soldiers with bulging backpacks of tarpaulin bags were boarding albatross transport planes one after another, wearing windproof goggles, all kinds of guns around their necks, and their legs were filled with various magazines, and even the "Iron Fist" bazookas, which were rarely seen in other divisions, numbered as many as 20.

In addition to the backpacks that some people made early, each of them also had a boxy bag in front of them, and a touch of white was clearly visible at the mouth.

Next to the tarmac, in the open sunshade tent crackling in the whirlwind, a major general wearing the uniform of an air general wearing the dark blue of the empire and two gold lines on the cuffs stood beside him, watching a sturdy man in his thirties in front of the map clarify the task behind the four second lieutenant company commanders.

"The 41st and 42nd Squadrons of Attack Aircraft have already bombed there, and the 47th and 48th Squadrons of Bombers will bomb the railroad north of the city before we arrive, clear the obstacles, and divert enemy fire!" Dahan pointed to a photo next to the map and said loudly: "This aerial photo, each of you should have it, the mission is very clear, there are only two bridges in the State of Mexico that can cross the Rio Grande and pass through tanks, one is in El Paso, opposite Juarez, that is the task of the Army, what we have to do is to occupy this railway bridge in Albuquerque!" ”

"The northeast of the bridge is Albuquerque City, the bridge head connects the main road in the city, there are many buildings on both sides, the 1st company and the 2nd company are responsible for the east bank, remember to send someone to check whether there is ** on the bridge immediately after arrival, and the buildings on both sides of the road are stuck!"

"On the west bank, the terrain is relatively open, there is only a hillside in the north, the 3rd company is responsible for the hillside high ground, the 4th company is responsible for guarding the bridge, and the bridge must be checked immediately after arrival**!"

"According to intelligence, there are about two US military divisions stationed in Albuquerque, about 30,000 people, as well as 30 tanks and at least 60 artillery pieces, and there will be air force support starting tomorrow during the day, but we must rely on ourselves at night!"

"We only have four companies, but the 1st Panzer Division is coming from west to east, and the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division is also rushing there along the river bank from south to north. They all promise to arrive in 36 hours, but I hope you're prepared to stick around 48 hours! ”

"So, I need you all to cheer me up from now on!"

"Hold the bridge!" The strong man's fist smashed the map board with a clatter, and shouted, "Special Service Regiment." ”

"Nine-headed bird! Immortal! ”

After the company commanders stood up and shouted the regimental slogan as usual, the five of them turned around and saluted at the same time: "Sir, the Ninth Special Service Regiment is ready, please give an order!" ”

Feng Bangguo, the commander of the 4th Air Division, looked at the nine-headed birds in front of him and took a deep breath, the 9th Special Service Regiment is one of the few airborne regiments in the Air Force that can be put into actual combat, as a kind of force, the Air Force was originally reluctant to let them take risks, but the Albuquerque Bridge is too important, and whether it is the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division along the river bank or the 1st Armored Division inserted from the side of the Colorado Plateau, it is impossible to suddenly arrive at the bridge without being discovered by the enemy, so even if you are reluctant, you must come up with a killer weapon!

"It's 8 o'clock in the evening, so ......, I'm waiting for you to triumph!"

"Yes!"

"Board, board!"

"Ammo, give me two more drums. (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. Learning Network)"

"Grenade, help me carry it in my pocket, yes, thank you."

"Machine gun, machine gun hang, don't lose it, I still have to rely on you to cover it!"

Yao Ge followed behind his comrades, mounted a bag of ammunition on a belt, thought about it, grabbed two grenades from the side, ran to the back of the transport plane, and got into the cabin. Five minutes later, the escort of 16 Mustang cranes took the lead in climbing into the sky with auxiliary fuel tanks, followed by as many as 56 albatross transport planes lined up and rushed into the blue sky.

"Report, the Ninth Secret Service has departed." In the theater headquarters that had just moved to Los Angeles, the staff officer saluted and handed the telegram to Sun Jiugong.

"Where is the 1st Panzer Division?"

"After knocking out that armored battalion, they had already crossed Congres and were moving towards Payson, and the reconnaissance plane discovered an hour ago that there was also an American tank brigade and at least 2 divisions of infantry in front of them, probably near Payson."

"Did you tell them the news?"

"Tell me, Division Commander Zhou said that they can't stop the armored division!"

The staff officer's report made Sun Jiugong smile slightly. Indeed, it can be seen from a small encounter in Congres that although the US military has built a large number of tanks, it is still in the exploration stage of how to use tanks like Europe.

However, it is still a good tactic to strike iron with a heavy hammer, so he immediately said: "Order the 4th Air Division, send out all the planes that can fly to bomb Person, and be sure to kill and wound more enemies to open the passage for the armored division." ”

"Yes!"

After the staff officer left, Sun Jiugong walked to the map again, Juarez is only a matter of time to conquer, the current big difficulty is Albuquerque, in front of the first armored division, in addition to the tank brigade of Payson, there are no less than 4 US infantry divisions, and there are at least 3 divisions in front of the first mechanized infantry division that is also going north along the river bank, so whether the special service regiment can block at least 2 infantry divisions, take the bridge first, and defend until these two divisions arrive will become the key!

There are many difficulties, but the result is very tempting, once Albuquerque is taken, then even if the encirclement is formed, no matter how powerful Carl is, it is impossible to take out the 8 armies near Phoenix!

A full 1.5 million troops, if they are wiped out in Arizona, will become a heavy weight to crush the US army! Now it depends on the speed of the armored division, and whether the airborne troops, who are put into real combat for the first time, can play the role of surprise soldiers.

"Order the 2nd Panzer Division, accelerate to Glendale, and never let Carl's main force leave Phoenix for Albuquerque!"

Dallas.

In the US military headquarters, Joseph Pershing, who had just returned to his post, also had a grim face, he never thought that he would encounter the dilemma of an all-out attack by the opponent as soon as he took office, except for the six armies that were retreating from San Francisco, almost all of the other 20 armies in the west were mobilized, but for some reason he still felt that the troops were seriously insufficient.

A small encounter in Congres proves that there is a powerful Chinese tank force there that is moving eastward, and no one knows how big they are, how many tanks, how many infantry, and the planes sent out to reconnoiter will be shot down almost as soon as they take off!

At the same time, a force that had suddenly crossed the border 20 kilometers west of Juarez and had already crossed Demin was also very fast, and there were at least 4 infantry divisions behind them, with a large number of trucks to carry them around.

Where are they targeting?

Walking to the map, his gaze began to stop north along the Rio Grande to Albuquerque, and his finger pointed to Congres to the east, and finally when his gaze and finger came together, he suddenly understood.

Immediately, cold sweat crawled all over my back!

Albuquerque!

The Chinese want to occupy Albuquerque, and then rely on the Rio Grande River in the east and the Colorado Plateau in the north, and completely lock the 8 armies led by Carl in Phoenix and Arizona!

Vicious plan, too vicious!

The thought of 8 corps being surrounded and annihilated, Pershing felt chills all over his body, Los Angeles had already lost a corps, in order to cover the retreat of San Francisco and San Diego, he also lost a half of the corps during this time, if these 8 corps were eaten, then the total of 30 corps stationed on the West Coast and transferred to the Mexican border before the war would be equivalent to losing more than a third! Not to mention the state of Mexico, I'm afraid that even Texas and Utah will lose all three lines of defense on the west coast!

In addition to being vicious, Pershing is not only the audacity of the opposing commander, one tank unit starts from Los Angeles and crosses 600 kilometers, and the other sets off from Mexico to advance 343 kilometers straight, not to mention how many interceptions will be faced along the way, I am afraid that the march alone will take at least 4 days!

Very bold and vicious, but they forgot that the Rio Grande is not a dry channel, and their tanks reached Albuquerque in time and could not cross it! What's more, now that they have seen through it, they won't have any chance!

"George."

"Yes, General." Marshall turned.

"Order Major General Thornton, be ready to blow up the bridge, and inform Lieutenant General Karl that the Chinese's purpose is to capture Albuquerque, so immediately send the 37th Army and the 42nd Army to Truth, Mark Dalena and Shangluo!" Pershing's finger drew an arc along the southwest outside of Albuquerque: "Order the 57th Army, which has withdrawn from Mexico, to abandon its original goal and immediately support Albuquerque, and must arrive there within 4 days." ”

"Yes, General." After Marshall saluted, he was just about to leave to send a telegram, when he suddenly remembered something, turned around and said: "General, the expeditionary force led by Lieutenant General Allenby of Great Britain will arrive in Santa Fe tomorrow morning, only 80 kilometers from Albuquerque, do you want to ......." ”

"Very well, call General Allenby immediately in my name and ask him to take the troops to cross the west bank of the Albuquerque defensive bridge when they arrive."

"Yes, General."

Marshall was just about to turn around and deliver the order, when suddenly a dark shadow crashed over, rushed to the office and shouted: "General, the reconnaissance plane has news, they found the Chinese tank unit west of Payson, and now they are less than 20 kilometers away from the tank brigade of Baker and General George Patton!"

In addition, Chinese tank units were also found in Glendale to the west, south and back of Phoenix!

"God, how many tanks did they send!" Several staff officers next to him were trembling when they heard this, but Pershing stood up and asked, "How many tanks and infantry are there on the opposite side of Payson?" ”

"The pilot said there were more than 200 and at least 600 trucks and other vehicles in the back!"

"Oh my God!"

Hearing this number, the Marshalles, who were about to deliver the order, were stunned, no one expected that the Chinese would come up with so many tanks, after losing a tank battalion that came out of the front, his friend Patton only had 373 tanks in his hands at the moment, in the case of performance inferior to the other party, could he block it?

“！”

"Ready."

"Those bitches are right up front!" George Patton shouted as he ran, and a full 373 tanks of all kinds were lined up in three rows, and all the guns were pointed in the direction of Congres.

Behind them, many infantry were digging trenches like crazy, shovels and pickaxes rising and falling, and the mud and sand flew into the air.

"George, have you contacted Murphy?" Baker stopped George Barton as he galloped.

"Nope."

Baker's face froze, it had been 3 hours since Murphy sent back the news of the attack, and 3,000 people and dozens of tanks had not sent a single telegram back within 3 hours, what did it mean? Counting the marching time, it took them less than 40 minutes to annihilate Murphy's troops!

With such a strong combat power, Baker couldn't help but breathe quickly, and after holding George Patton, he said: "George, tank combat is different from infantry, and it is also different from cavalry, when they come, you must cooperate with me and move as much as possible, and then the infantry must follow quickly." ”

"Okay!" Young Barton nodded: "I won't stop until I run out of gas!"

: The following is fierce, the hippopotamus can only come up with the world's first airborne killing weapon, I don't want to see the airborne failure!

Call for fire support!
