    "General, it's not good. Highland No. 2 was captured by those Japanese dwarfs. Almost all my soldiers were killed or injured!" A staff officer hurriedly rushed into the headquarters and reported to Lieutenant General George and Lieutenant General Clark.  road.

    "Damn it, how could this happen? Order the 25th Army to mobilize powerful troops and retake Highland 2!" Lieutenant General Clark cursed angrily and immediately ordered.  However, the staff officer did not answer, but looked at Lieutenant General George.

    At this moment, Lieutenant General George was completely stunned. His direct troops were still attacking Highland 1 regardless of casualties.  But unexpectedly, Highland No. 2 fell again.  After Highland No. 2 is occupied by the Chinese army, even if Highland No. 1 is recaptured, it will not be of much use.

    "It's over, it's all over!" Lieutenant General George murmured. His efforts were completely shattered by the Chinese army's attack.  And his military career is likely to come to an end because of this failure, and it will be an imperfect end.

    "George, please wake up. It's too late to say anything now. You have to be responsible for the lives of the remaining more than 100,000 people and immediately arrange troops to stop the Chinese attack. If I am not wrong, the Chinese  A fierce attack is just around the corner!" Lieutenant General Clark urged.

    At this time, a violent explosion suddenly erupted in Haltianjis, and the whole earth seemed to be shaking. This was the result of the Chinese artillery massing thousands of large-caliber artillery to violently bombard Haltianjis.

    "The Chinese attack has begun!" Lieutenant General Clark's expression also changed. He did not expect that the Chinese army's counterattack would come so quickly.

    The violent explosion woke up Lieutenant General George, and his face turned pale.  After the Chinese army launched the attack, the US military had completely lost its last chance.  With only the remaining 100,000 people in Hartianjis, it is impossible to reach and withstand the Chinese army's attack.  The U.S. military's defense in Haltiangis is entirely based on the highlands on both sides of the town and the dense fortifications in the town.  Now that the highlands on both sides have been occupied by the Chinese army, the Chinese artillery launched a devastating bombardment of the town. The US military's carefully prepared defenses were easily destroyed in the fierce shelling. This made it difficult for the US military to defend Harbin.  That's almost impossible.

    "Order the 23rd Army to defend the Hartian Angis and not retreat without an order! Order the remaining troops of the 11th Army to stop the attack on Highland No. 1 and be responsible for defending the rear of the Hartian Angis. Clark, take you with me  The troops should return to Tierra Colorada, the Chinese attack has begun and we have no hope of holding on here!" Lieutenant General George ordered.

    "George, you retreat first! The main force of my 16th Army is still there, and you can stay and use the terrain to stop the Chinese!" Lieutenant General Clark said.

    General George shook his head and said: "Because of my fault, the American army suffered heavy losses in this battle, and I must be responsible for it. Clark, you are right. If I had listened to your advice, I would have  It won¡¯t be like this anymore. The United States needs generals like you! I hope that we can finally defeat China and make the evil Chinese pay a heavy price!¡±

    "Okay, George, I will lead the troops back to Tierra Colorada. However, the loss of Hartianjis has become a foregone conclusion, so don't hold on any longer. You only need to withstand the Chinese attack for an hour.  Retreat. We still have enough troops in Tierra Colorada, and General Pershing will give us enough support. We have not yet failed and still have a chance to win!" Lieutenant General Clark said.  Although, he was sure that Lieutenant General George would be punished for his wrong command during the battle.  But if General Pershing can protect him, there shouldn't be much of a problem, just a maximum demotion.  As long as he can achieve meritorious service in future wars, Lieutenant General George will still have a chance to turn around.

    "Okay, I get it Clark, no matter what, I want to thank you this time! Okay, I won't say any more, the Chinese are coming!" Lieutenant General George said.

    "Okay, George, take care of yourself. See you in Tierra Colorada!" After Lieutenant General Clark finished speaking, he immediately left the headquarters and summoned the remaining troops of the US 16th Army to prepare to withdraw to Tierra Colorada.

    "Come on!" At this moment, the two infantry divisions of the Chinese Army's 7th Group Army launched a fierce attack on Hartianjis.  The officers and soldiers of the 23rd US Army guarding this small town also ran out of the artillery holes and tunnels, preparing to resist the attack of the Chinese army.  After the highlands on both sides were captured by the Chinese army, the defense of this town seemed so isolated.  When the Chinese army launched an attack, it deployed a considerable number of infantry and mortars on the highlands on both sides, which could launch intensive firepower attacks on the US military's defenses.

    "Fire! Fire! Those Chinese are coming.!  "The grassroots officers of the US military shouted loudly.

    "Da da" the U.S. heavy machine gun immediately started firing. Several soldiers who were rushing to the front immediately fell to the ground. The U.S. heavy machine gun bullets left a big bullet hole in their chests.  The Chinese soldiers behind quickly fell to the ground.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Several mortars deployed on Highland 1 fired rapidly at the US military position.

    Several mortar shells fell into the dense trenches, blowing up the U.S. troops and destroying the heavy machine gun that kept firing.

    At the same time, the Chinese Army's Second Group Army also concentrated the forces of two infantry divisions and attacked eastward from Highland 1, preparing to outflank the US military's retreat.  On the other side of Highland No. 2, after the Japanese mercenaries captured the high ground, they also sent several divisions to outflank the US military's retreat from the other side.  Although the US military's resistance is very tenacious, it is obviously at the end of its strength.

    "Prepare the mortar, blow up the enemy's heavy machine gun!" a Chinese Army second lieutenant platoon leader shouted loudly.

    Several mortarmen set up the mortar in a hurry, and fired the first shell in less than a minute.  After several consecutive shots, the US heavy machine gun firepower point had been destroyed, and the US heavy machine gunner was also killed.

    "Come on!" The second lieutenant platoon leader immediately jumped out of the trench, led dozens of officers and soldiers in the platoon, and quickly rushed towards the US trench.

    "Grenade! Throw it!" Less than thirty meters away from the US military trench, the second lieutenant platoon leader ordered loudly.

    More than a dozen grenades were thrown, and most of them fell into the trenches of the US military, killing the US reinforcements.  The Chinese army also took the opportunity to break into the trenches and engage the US military in close combat.

    "Bang bang bang!" The second lieutenant platoon leader and sergeant squad leader were all equipped with pistols, which were very useful when clearing enemies in the trenches, and quickly killed the American troops who rushed over.

    "Boom!" The shotgun fired, directly killing the American troops hiding in the trenches.  In order to strengthen the combat effectiveness in street fighting and trench warfare, the Chinese Army specially equipped a US infantry squad with a shotgun. The effect is very obvious when dealing with enemies in a dense state.

    The U.S. military¡¯s defense in Halti Angis is basically sharp on the highlands on both sides. It attempts to rely on the highlands on both sides to inflict a large number of casualties on the Chinese army attacking Halti Angis.  However, the US military never expected that the highlands on both sides would be captured by the Chinese army in such a short period of time.  Moreover, the Chinese army used the high ground to deploy infantry and mortars and other light artillery, and fired from a commanding height, almost suppressing the U.S. military's defense in Hartianjis.  This allows the Chinese army to easily break through the US military's defense lines in many places.

    At two o'clock in the afternoon, the U.S. military's defense line in Hartianjis was completely broken through, and the remaining troops of the U.S. 23rd Army, which suffered heavy losses, retreated into the town.  At this time, the small town had already been reduced to ruins under the fierce fire of Chinese artillery.

    "Send a telegram to Lieutenant General George. The Chinese attack is too fierce. We can hardly withstand it and request a retreat!" the commander of the 23rd US Army ordered anxiously in the underground headquarters.

    "Yes, general!" The signal corpsman quickly sent out the telegram.  However, they did not receive a reply for a long time.

    At this time, Lieutenant General George was already in trouble.  Two infantry divisions of the Chinese Army's 2nd Group Army, which attacked from Highland No. 1, and four Japanese mercenary divisions, which attacked from Highland No. 2, launched an outflanking operation against Hartianjis.  Those responsible for defending the flanks were the remaining troops of the US 11th Army.  Although the 11th Army of the U.S. Army is a direct unit of Lieutenant General George, they have already suffered heavy losses in the battle to attack Highland 1. There are more than 50,000 people in the army, and only less than two people are left.  Ten thousand people.  With only 20,000 people, how could two full Chinese Army infantry divisions and four Japanese mercenary divisions arrive?

    When the 7th Army of the Chinese Army broke through the outer defense line of Hartianjis and started a fierce street battle with the 23rd Army of the US Army, Lieutenant General George and his army were surrounded, and more than 20,000 people were compressed to less than two square meters.  within a small area of ??kilometers.

    The commander of the Chinese army, General Zhao Bowen, immediately ordered four divisions of Japanese mercenaries to surround the defeated remnants of Lieutenant General George's 11th Army, and ordered General Oshima Yoshimasa to organize troops to encircle and annihilate this group of American troops.  The two infantry divisions of the 2nd Army continued to pursue eastward, eliminating as many U.S. troops as possible.

    The commander of the 23rd Army of the U.S. Army defending Hartianjis issued an order to retreat without authorization after not receiving a reply from Lieutenant General George for a long time.  And this immediately caused a series of chain reactions. The retreating US troops scrambled for their lives, and the retreat eventually turned into a rout!
