    A series of trenches and traffic trenches crisscrossed each other, linking the front and rear lines of defense together.  One hundred meters in front of the position is a one-meter-high wire.  On the position, machine gun fire points can be seen everywhere.  Behind the position are hidden artillery positions.

    "It seems that these Americans have not wasted this month! They actually established such a strong defensive position!" General Gao Chang put down his telescope and sighed.  When they fought a few years ago, the U.S. Army's combat effectiveness was still very low, and their tactics were completely stuck on decades ago.  But now, it seems to have completely changed.

    "In the past few years, the Americans have been catching up with us. At least, the firepower of the troops is not much worse than ours. Light machine guns have also been assigned to squad-level troops. The Americans have strong industrial strength.  When they are determined to improve their military strength, no country can compare with them!" Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Yang Ming also sighed.

    "Commander, let's leave this battle to our division! Although the Americans have become stronger, we are stronger! I guarantee that we will break through the Americans' defense line!" Major General He Bingju, commander of the 11th Division, requested.

    "Commander, our Marine Corps is not a vegetarian. We can not only carry out landing operations and attack difficult operations, but we are also speechless!" Major General Li Xutong, commander of the Third Marine Division, also asked for orders.

    "Don't worry! This battle can be won. I'm afraid this battle will be a tough battle!" Major General Gao Chang said.

    "Commander. How about we use cavalry to bypass San Pedro Mountain and attack the Americans' rear?" Lieutenant General Yang Ming, chief of staff, suggested.

    "The Americans have only deployed one corps in front, and there is another corps in San Luis Potosi. Even if the cavalry brigade goes around, it will be useless. How long will it take for the other American corps to arrive?" Gao Chang  the admiral asked.  The Americans only had two armies of 100,000 people in San Luis Potosi, so the US military's tactics were relatively cautious.  Once another army arrives and the US military has about three times the advantage in strength, the US military may not continue to defend.

    "The First Army of the US Army is still about two hundred kilometers away from San Luis Potosi. It will take at least five to six days to arrive! If necessary, you can send a cavalry brigade to delay their actions!" Lieutenant General Yang Ming  said.

    General Gao Chang nodded, and then said: "That's it! The cavalry brigade, unless tomorrow morning. The Americans' first army, the 11th Army Division and the 3rd Marine Division, will start preparing to attack tomorrow. We  There is only ten days at most!¡±

    "Yes, Commander!" everyone replied.  Everyone knows that a fierce battle is about to begin.  Whether the Chinese ** team can continue to maintain its invincible glory depends on this battle!

    The morning of February 26th.  The cavalry brigade belonging to the Sixth Army took the lead and rushed to delay the actions of the US First Army.  The 11th Army Division and the 3rd Marine Division are ready to attack!  The artillery brigade of the Sixth Army, the artillery battalion of the 11th Army Division and the artillery battalion of the 3rd Marine Division were also ready for artillery attacks.  Facing the strong defenses of the US military.  Whether it can knock on the door of US military defense depends on the artillery.

    8:00 am.  After having breakfast early, the soldiers of the 111th Regiment of the 11th Army Division had already entered the forward position.  Their regiment will be the first wave of troops to attack the US military.  The 11th Army Division is an old unit, and its combat effectiveness is among the dozens of infantry divisions in China.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Just after 8:10, the artillery of the Chinese ** team started shelling.  The artillery brigade's 48 155mm heavy howitzers, 48 ??155mm heavy cannons, and 144 105mm light howitzers began a fierce shelling of the US military positions.  Twelve 155mm heavy howitzers and 36 105mm light howitzers from the artillery battalions of the 11th Army Division and the 3rd Marine Division also opened fire one after another.  For a time, dense artillery continued to fall on the US military position, orange-red fireballs kept flashing on the US military position, and black smoke completely enveloped the US military position!

    The power of more than 300 heavy cannons firing at the same time was as if the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking, which shocked people deeply!

    "Good boy! No matter how arrogant the Yankees are with such a fierce bombardment, they won't be able to hold on! By then, we will be able to capture the American position with a single charge!" Many Chinese soldiers saw the fierce bombardment.  After the artillery fire, everyone couldn't help but sigh like this.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Less than ten minutes after the Chinese artillery began shelling, the US artillery also began to counterattack.  In the San Luis Valley, the US military also deployed a large number of artillery.  On more than twenty artillery positions, enough??More than two hundred cannons were scattered.  The caliber of these cannons are all above 105 mm.  Obviously, the Chinese Army's artillery left a deep impression on the US military in the last war.  The U.S. Army has also strengthened its artillery.  However, the size of the artillery has not yet reached the size of the squadron!

    "Heavy cannon battalion and heavy howitzer battalion, prepare to suppress the enemy's artillery!" The artillery observation balloon in the sky has already transmitted the location of the US artillery.  The heavy cannon battalion and the heavy howitzer battalion adjusted their shooting at Zhu Yuan.  Their focus will be on the US artillery!  Only by destroying the enemy can you protect yourself!

    "Boom! Boom!" Under the guidance of the observation balloon, the artillery of the Chinese ** team began to deal with the US artillery positions one by one.  The US heavy artillery units also began to deal with Chinese artillery.

    The artillery battle was very fierce!  At this time, the psychological quality of the artillerymen was very tested.  Even if the artillery exploded right on the position, the artillerymen who were not killed were still firing fiercely.  Many of the gunners took off their clothes, went shirtless, and fired the cannons desperately.

    "Boom!" A cannon hit a gun emplacement, and both the man and the cannon were destroyed.

    The fierce artillery battle between the two sides lasted for more than half an hour before it ended.  The performance of US military artillery is worse than that of Chinese artillery.  At the same time, there is also a certain gap in the quality of artillery.  This put the US military in a completely suppressed state in this artillery battle.  In order to preserve their strength, the US artillery had to retreat and target the Chinese infantry behind.

    In this artillery battle, the US military lost more than 60 cannons, and the Chinese artillery also lost 20 cannons, mostly 105mm light howitzers.  The heavy howitzers and heavy cannons are located further back, making it difficult for the US military cannons to reach them!

    After the US artillery took the initiative to retreat, the Chinese artillery once again targeted the US military position.  During the fierce shelling, the US military position seemed to have been plowed several times.  The trenches were flattened, the wires were blown up, and every fire point was destroyed.  Countless American soldiers were hiding in shell-proof caves, shivering.  They no longer had the high spirits they had at the beginning of the war, and their eyes were full of fear.  Although there is protection against blast holes, it is not safe.  The artillery-proof caverns of civil structures simply cannot withstand the bombardment of 155mm heavy artillery.  Among the frontline troops of the US military, many companies were hit by heavy artillery fire because of the artillery holes. Hundreds of people in the entire company were buried alive inside!

    At 9 o'clock in the morning, the artillery fire of the Chinese ** team began to extend deep into the US military position.

    "Charge!" On the forward position of the Chinese ** team, the charge horn rang.  Officers at all levels issued orders to attack.  More than 4,000 men from the 111th Regiment jumped out of their position and rushed towards the US military position two kilometers away.  The infantry artillery and heavy mortars of the regiment's artillery company also began to move forward, preparing to provide fire support for the attacking infantry!

    "Get up! You cowards! The Chinese are here. If you want to survive, you have to kill them all! Set up the machine guns and prepare to fire!" The American soldiers who survived the shelling, driven by junior officers,  Entered the position and prepared to resist the attack of the Chinese army!  Many American soldiers looked a little pale.  This is normal. It is like this after going to the battlefield for the first time and seeing life quickly wither in the war.  As long as you get used to it, there will be no problem!

    "Ready! Fire!" After the ** team assaulted the U.S. position less than 500 meters away, the U.S. military officer gave the order to fire!

    "Click! Boom! Boom! Boom!" The sound of heavy machine guns and mortars resounded, and dense munitions and cannons swept towards the charging Chinese soldiers.  The few soldiers who rushed at the front suddenly fell to the ground.  The soldiers behind immediately fell to the ground.

    The technical content of mortars is not high. This weapon was first used by the Chinese Army and is now popular all over the world.  Almost the armies of major powerful countries are equipped with such artillery to support infantry operations!

    "Set up heavy machine guns and machine guns. Mortars, knock out the enemy's firepower points!" The suppressed Chinese ** team immediately began to counterattack.  Heavy machine guns were pushed up and mortars began to fire.

    "Dang, Dang, Dang!" The bullet hit the shield of the heavy machine gun and made a crisp sound, but this did not scare the brave soldiers!

    "Ta-ta-ta!" The heavy machine guns and mortars of the Chinese ** team opened fire quickly, suppressing the firepower points on the US military position.  The infantrymen on both sides also started shooting at each other.  The fighting was very fierce, and people kept dying.

    "Whoosh! Whoosh!" Suddenly, a harsh scream came from the sky.

    "Large-caliber artillery shelling, spread out and hide!" Some experienced low-level officers' faces changed drastically and they immediately stood down.Got the order!  To be continued.  If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (.Vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
