747 Blitz (7)
747 Blitz (7)
"What?!"
"Are you kidding me?" In Phoenix, Lieutenant General Carl looked at the staff officer who came to report, and the coffee cup in his hand almost slipped to the ground. (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. How is it possible? An infantry division plus a tank brigade broke through without even blocking it for half a day!
Is this a joke?
"General, I'm afraid not." The staff officer pinched the telegram, his eyes were also scattered, and he looked incredulous, and after a long time, he whispered: "This is what the soldiers who fled back said personally, they were attacked head-on by more than three hundred Chinese tanks, counting the cleaning of the battlefield afterwards, it took the Chinese less than 3 and a half hours!"
Major Patton and Major Baker have done their best, but they are facing a massacre! The staff officer seemed to be still silent about the casualty figures in the telegram, swallowing his saliva and saying: "Their speed is very high, the surviving soldiers said that the Chinese tanks can also maintain a speed of 20 kilometers per hour when off-road, and they also have an unknown number of heavy artillery assistance, after breaking through Payson, they have continued to move eastward, if the speed is calculated according to the speed said by the soldiers, they should have reached Shangluo by now, less than 300 kilometers from Albuquerque, and they can arrive tomorrow evening." β
"Oh my God, are they flying?"
Lieutenant General Carr quickly walked to the front of the map, his face suddenly turned pale, the army from Juarez, Mexico is storming Elberso, and at least 4 divisions are moving north along the Rio Grande, if Albuquerque is finally lost, then his troops will be completely surrounded in Arizona and unable to move!
"Lieutenant General Pershing has asked Major General Thornton to hold on to Albuquerque, and is mobilizing more troops there, and even the British Expeditionary Force will arrive by noon tomorrow." The staff officer continued: "The lieutenant general has asked us to break through the siege and go there at once, and we must get Duo's troops back to the east coast through Albuquerque before the Chinese arrive!" β
"Yes, we should leave immediately, or we will ......."
"General, it's not good!"
"Oh no!"
Before Lieutenant General Carr could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a nervous shouting from outside, and the officer rushed into the command room, shouting with a pale face: "General, Major General Thornton hurry up, the squadron has occupied the Albuquerque Bridge!" β
"What!"
The coffee cup in his hand fell suddenly, and the fragrant black coffee spilled all over the ground, and the explosive news made Carl completely lose his cool, grabbed the collar of the officer who came to report, and roared: "Damn, do you know what you're talking about?" The squadron is still in Shangluo, and there are still 300 kilometers away, so they flew over! β
"General, he...... They did ......, they flew over! "Bastard." Karl let go of the officer and snatched the telegram, and when he read the words clearly, the blood on his face suddenly disappeared, and he sat down on the stool, and the whole person was completely stupid.
The telegram slipped from his big hand, and the staff officer only vaguely saw a few words, but until he lay on the sickbed decades later, he could not forget the nervous words after seeing the world's first airborne operation.
"The bridge is lost! Enemies, falling from the sky! β
"Machine gun, alley on the right!"
"Da da da......."
When Sanfat heard the shouts of Yao Ge above his head, he immediately turned his gun and aimed it at the alley next to the street in front of the hotel, and the bullets hit the brick wall and chirped, and more than a dozen American soldiers who came by touching the wall were suppressed there as soon as they poked their heads out.
"Yaoge, cover me!"
"Don't worry, no one dares to probe!" Yao Ge aimed at a U.S. soldier who was raising his gun and wanted to shoot at the roof of the building, and the moment the trigger was pulled, a blood flower exploded on the neck of the soldier in the binoculars, and his head fell straight down in a very strange and crooked posture.
The Arthur Hotel, a tall building on the right bank of the Albuquerque Bridge, is also the focus of contention.
This kind of commanding height, so that Yao Ge and several other snipers are simply killing gods, don't look at a shot is not as fierce as the machine guns below, but so far the enemy who has fallen under their guns is no less than the death under the machine guns.
After suppressing the American troops who were shooting up, Jiang Hai quickly pulled out two grenades, stopped in his hand for three seconds after pulling the string, and threw them into the far alley condescendingly. ...... boom, the smoke was filled, and the fragments and steel balls swept away over the heads of the American troops, and dozens of people hiding inside were either killed or injured, even the few who rushed out of the alley and fled were also put away by Yao Ge and them one by one.
Seeing this, the three fats were unwilling to continue to waste ammunition there, so they turned their guns around and aimed at the main road leading to the bridge again, under the scorching sun, the dense US troops rushing along the street made everyone's scalps tingle, it was obvious that the Yankees stationed here were desperate!
Yao Ge could well imagine the fury of the American army at this time, the two bridges of the Rio Grande, one of which may have been occupied by the army, and the other was captured by paratroopers who fell from the sky for the first time, so that more than a million American troops and at least 200 ordinary Americans were surrounded in the states of Mexico and Arizona west of the Rio Grande. β»β»β»β»β» I β» I β» β»
That's at least a million more!
California has lost only more than 300,000 so far, and if this million is wiped out, what awaits the United States will be Mexico, Arizona, California, and even Texas!
Coupled with the fact that Mexico is being armed with a steady stream of troops, it can be brought into battle as late as April, when the East Coast, including Florida, will be in danger!
So Pershing has given a death order to retake the bridge!
"Colonel, this can't be done, the front is too narrow, we won't go through the machine guns at all, we must get rid of the fire point on the roof!"
"So what are you waiting for, cannons, all at the hotel! York, take the people around, you must occupy the Arthur Hotel! Facing the main road, which was almost covered with corpses, Colonel Thornton gritted his teeth and roared loudly as he pointed to the hotel.
More than a dozen 75-mm army guns opened fire, and after Yao Ge saw the fire ball from the telescope, he hurriedly waved his hand and shouted: "75 guns, be careful!" "Boom, boom......." The cannonballs exploded around the hotel, and Yao Ge was just about to get up and change his position, when a cannonball fell straight a few meters away, and the violent shock wave lifted him up, flew back several meters, and then smashed the floor.
For a moment, Yao Ge seemed to feel that all his internal organs were cracked, and his whole body was torn in pain, and after his comrades-in-arms saw him being blown away, they hurriedly ran over and shouted: "Yao Ge, how is it?" Questions? β
"It's okay, you can't die!"
"Get up, shit, they're rushing again!"
"Boom, boom, boom......."
In an instant, the shells fell like hail on the main road in front of the Arthur Hotel, and the violent explosion stretched from the bridge to the entire street, and countless American troops in the distance bent down and rushed up again.
"Back, bastard, come around from behind!"
"Machine guns, kill them!" In the shouting of his comrades-in-arms, Yao Ge immediately turned his head to look, only to see hundreds of American soldiers rushing towards the hotel from behind with their heads down, and there were even more than a dozen cavalrymen mixed in with them!
"Bang bang bang ......." Bullets rushed towards the enemy from all over the hotel like a torrential rain, and the entire hotel building was shrouded in explosions and gunsmoke.
"Boom......."
Another cannonball exploded behind him, and at the same time that a large hole was blown out of the exterior wall of the hotel, several bricks smashed the unsuspecting Yaoge's back, and this time he was not spared, and the violent impact caused him to spurt out a mouthful of blood.
"Mom!"
The machine gunner Sanfat, who had just climbed up the stairs with a machine gun to support, saw that Yao Ge was injured, and his eyes were red, so he put the machine gun on the windowsill and swept it fiercely. "Da da da......." Tongues of fire erupted from the muzzle of the gun, and bullet casings splattered against their cheeks on the wooden floor, making a slight clanging sound.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of approaching American troops were swept down by him, and the heavy fire made this wave of American troops who were about to attack around the back door have to retreat temporarily, but when they left, several grenades were already thrown in from the windows along the street.
"Be careful!"
Yao Ge didn't know where he got the strength, so he suddenly pounced on San Fat, and a series of explosions exploded close at hand, and when the smoke cleared, San Fat saw that Yao Ge's back was already a blur of flesh and blood.
"Yaoge, you can't fucking die!"
"Wake up, don't sleep, pay back the money you owe first!"
"Yao Ge, if you die, marry your sister home!" Sanpang wiped his tears while grabbing Yao Ge's collar and shouting, if Yao Ge hadn't helped him during the parachute jump, it is estimated that he would have fallen into the river and hung up, so when he saw Yao Ge's appearance, his eyes were bloodshot.
"Don't worry, I won't give you a chance to spoil my sister."
"Haha, I knew you wouldn't die, we have nine lives!" Seeing that Yao Ge finally opened his eyes and relieved his breath, Sanfat cracked his mouth and laughed, but the tears in the corners of his eyes and the black and white gunpowder spots on his face made his smile really ugly.
"Go, support the street, I'll rely on it!"
"Well, you lean, don't sleep, watch Lao avenge you!" After the three fats leaned Yao Ge against the wall in the corner, he walked to the hole that had just been smashed by the shell with the machine gun, and fired fiercely at the street below.
Leaning against the wall, Yao Ge untied the rope that strangled his chin, and took off the steel helmet to make himself more comfortable, to be honest, his eyelids were already unbearable, if he was not injured, he would dare to guarantee to withstand it for a few days and nights, but these two blows really exhausted all his physical strength, and even the hot pain in his back could not withstand the fatigue.
Turning his head, looking out from the hole, the street was already covered with the corpses of American soldiers, the whistling sound of explosions and bullets was endless, no matter which direction he looked, there were dead bodies and blood, especially in the area from the front of the hotel to the bridge, the corpses were piled up into a mountain.
However, Yao Ge was still very happy, at least they were still guarding the commanding heights of the hotel, although the building was crumbling by shells, but it was the same as the nine-headed bird, stubborn and unwilling to fall.
It's been 20 hours!
Yao Ge gasped, it has been 20 hours since he landed last night, and he can hold on for 20 hours under the desperate attack of more than 30,000 American troops in 2 divisions, which is enough to make the nine-headed bird famous in the world from now on, but unfortunately, ......, this is not enough!
It is also necessary to hold out for 16 hours!
Thinking of this, Yao Ge seemed to regain some strength, endured the pain and grabbed the gun, and slowly climbed to the feet of the three fats, and the gunman stretched out the wall and aimed at an American officer not far away.
"Bombers, bombers are coming!"
At the critical moment, a familiar buzzing sound sounded in the sky, which made Yao Ge crack the corners of his mouth and make the three fat laughs.
"Nine-headed bird, the crow calls for the nine-headed bird, evacuate from the residential area and along the railway, evacuate immediately, we are going to drop bombs, we are going to drop bombs!"
"Attention all crows, two by two, low-altitude bombs! Be careful to avoid the restaurant, there are brothers inside. After circling twice, the leading Kunpeng bomber and a partner plane suddenly lowered their altitude and rushed down with a roar.
"Damn it, machine guns! Lift all the machine guns up! Seeing the huge group of bombers, Colonel Thornton's eyes were bleeding, and he saw that he could take the hotel in just a few moments, and as long as he occupied this commanding height, it was only a matter of time before he put his machine gun on it to regain the bridge, but he didn't expect the enemy bombers to arrive in time.
A handful of 47mm rapid-fire anti-aircraft guns fired, and many Americans raised the only Lewis 77mm machine gun that could fire at the air, but the threat was not enough for the Raven squadron, accustomed to the strong anti-aircraft fire of the fortresses and the navy.
The bombers almost brushed the roof of the hotel, and the moment the ammunition compartment opened the door, 16 125-kilogram aerial bombs fell with a roar, and the moment the two bombers pulled up, the entire neighborhood was engulfed in fireballs and gunpowder smoke from the explosion.
Although the bombers did not dare to drop directly on the avenue in front of the Arthur Hotel in order to protect them, when the distant ones seemed to be pushed by the explosion in pieces, and the smoke and flames rose to the back of their heads, the American troops downstairs suddenly turned pale with fright, hugged their helmets and began to flee.
The style of war has completely changed, Li Mo is a person who likes to use his advantages to the extreme, whether it is the superiority of naval power, or the example of the later US imperialists who used the air force as a pioneer when they have nothing to do, all of them make him red-eyed, and now that he has the aviation advantage of the times, he naturally wants to use it enough on the territory of the United States, which is known as the first overlord of the sky in later generations!
Carpet bombing, dive bombing, battlefield blocking, and personnel killing and wounding are all aviation advantages that naturally have to be practiced ruthlessly, repeatedly, and endlessly hundreds of times! If it weren't for the fact that precision guidance is still a shadowless thing, it is estimated that Emperor Li would have hung up missiles to give the US White House a big surprise.
Under his influence, in order to ensure aviation superiority, the Air Force not only competed with itself on the plane, but also did not relax in the research and development of ammunition, ordinary high-explosive bombs, armor-piercing shells, poison gas bombs, incendiary bombs, cloud burst bombs, etc., but also developed strict manuals.
In such a close-range battlefield to interrupt the bombing in a big city, with their own friendly troops next to them, the high-power 250 and 500 kg bombs are prone to accidental damage, and the density is not enough, so now the Raven squadron carries 125 kg light high-explosive bombs.
Although it is light, the 40-kilogram standard N charge is still very powerful, especially since each Kunpeng can carry 8 of these bombs, so when two waves of 67 Kunpeng black pressure swept over the city, the American rookies who faced the strong aviation superiority for the first time finally knew what carpet bombing was.
"Boom ......, boom boom ......."
The sound of explosions was incessant, and Yao Ge held his gun and saw clearly through the scope that the dozens of 75mm guns that had just been aiming at the hotel building were in full swing before they could hide, and they were swept into the dense explosion, and even if they didn't hit directly, they were covered and smashed by the constantly falling houses.
In less than half an hour, the US troops, who had just been desperately attacking, were bombed so that they could no longer organize a decent attack, and had to leave thousands of corpses behind and temporarily retreat.
"Hello battalion commander!"
"Captain!"
"Is there enough play?"
"There are a lot of them, battalion commander, but unfortunately there are too few Yankees!"
"Hehe......."
Taking the opportunity of the temporary withdrawal of the American troops, everyone began to clean up the dead bodies in the Arthur Hotel, because this place is too important, and the competition is fierce, so the commander of the Wu regiment also took advantage of the interval to bring the nine-headed bird drawn from other companies to support the hotel.
This three-story granite structure hotel was so important to the battle that it would basically ensure that the east coast was in the hands of the enemy, so it was also fiercely contested, and about 60 Hydra birds had already died here.
Sitting on the floor, Yao Ge and San Fat, who were watching the U.S. military hugging their heads and panting, were about to stand up when they heard the shout, but the head of the Wu regiment hurriedly signaled him not to move, walked to the side and frowned to check his injuries.
"It's okay, it's all skin trauma."
"Hehe, don't worry, head of the regiment, no matter what I Yao Ge says, it's a nine-headed bird, and I can't die!"
"Hmph, don't be hard-mouthed, doctor, bandage him." The head of the regiment glared at Yao Ge, but no matter how he looked at it, he was a little satisfied, and he was about to continue to go to the roof to have a look, when a rush of footsteps suddenly came from behind.
The communications non-commissioned officer with the radio on his back hurriedly walked to the side and shouted nervously: "Regiment commander, a large number of troops have been found 60 kilometers northeast of the country, and the reconnaissance plane says that it is very similar to the British expeditionary force, the number is ......, there is about one army!" β
"An army!"
The news made Yao Ge's heart shrink suddenly, and exploded in everyone's ears like a bomb, and the excitement of repelling the American troops just dissipated in an instant, and everyone's faces became ugly.
"An army, at least a hundred thousand people!" Leaning against the wall, Yao Ge took a deep breath, looked at the sun that began to set, and gently touched his beloved sniper rifle, his eyes bursting with a bright light.
"Pass the news on, and tell everyone that even if we die, we will have a pain this time!"
"How far is it!"
On the wilderness at night, hundreds of steel behemoths rolled up sand and dust and rolled forward, but sitting in the car, Yang Chenghu still felt that it was too slow!
"There are still 140 kilometers left, and the reconnaissance plane said that there are two US interception forces in front, but the scale is not large, and I have calculated that at this speed, it is expected to arrive in Albuquerque in eight hours, three hours earlier than scheduled."
"Where's the First Mechanized Foot Master?"
"Here, it's heading north along the riverbank, about the same distance as us." The staff officer pointed out the approximate location of the First Infantry Division, and seeing this, Yang Chenghu took a deep breath, his face was already extremely solemn: "It's too slow." β
The staff officer understood what Yang Chenghu meant, and no one expected that the British Expeditionary Force would suddenly appear near Albuquerque, although now the Fourth Air Division has done its best, even at night, it has not relaxed its bombing support, but the combat effectiveness of the British army is much stronger than that of the American domestic troops, and they also have a commander who suffered a big loss at the hands of the armored forces in China last time.
The special service regiment is the elite, on individual soldiers, or even on single regiments, Yang Chenghu believes that his first armored division may not be able to kill them, but now they are facing an army, a British expeditionary force that has undergone postgraduate examinations in Europe!
Eight hours, maybe the daylilies are cold!
"Division commander, you might as well use the Wildcat armored car."
"Wildcat armored vehicles?"
"Yes." The staff officer said what he thought: "The Wildcat speed, which can reach 40 kilometers per hour, can be reached in four more hours if you act alone, and each Wildcat can carry 4 infantrymen, so ......." β
"Good way!"
"Immediately let the 3 regiment take over the task of escorting the infantry and truck fleet, and all the armored vehicles will set off at once, telling them that they must arrive within 4 hours as many infantry as they can load."
Yang Chenghu gritted his teeth, put his fist on the map table, and said fiercely.
"...... at all costs, support the special service group!"
: It's very sad, Hippopotamus, a small clerk who eats and waits for death in the company, was actually pulled by the leader to do financial work today, and after finishing this chapter, I think about it, it seems that I have an extra zero on the company's balance sheet!
It's over, Ami Tofu, I hope the boss doesn't make a noise about me when he sees it, because I completely lost his company!!
