Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the morning of March 7, the 11th Division of the 6th Group Army of the Chinese Army set off from Tierra Colorada and launched an eastward attack. The target was Mazatlan, a small town west of Chilpanzingo, which is about 50 kilometers away from Chilpancingo.  Panzingo is less than ten kilometers away and can be said to be the gateway to Chilpanzingo.

    However, after an infantry division stationed by the US Army discovered the incoming Chinese army, it immediately abandoned its position and fled towards Chilpancingo without saying a word.  It seems that the US military has planned to defend Chilpancingo and does not intend to waste its troops elsewhere.  At the same time, after the Chinese army launched the attack, the US military also received the news. Millions of US troops immediately became nervous. After several defeats in front of the Chinese army, the US military no longer dared to despise the Chinese army!

    When the Chinese army captured Mazatlan, General Pershing had just finished breakfast.  After receiving the news that the Chinese army had begun to attack, General Pershing immediately rushed to the headquarters.  The US military headquarters is located under a mountain wall east of Chilpancingo. It is very hidden. If it were not for the many antennas set up outside, no one would have guessed that the US military would locate the headquarters here.  This is also the headquarters location specially chosen by the US military to prevent bombing by the Chinese Air Force!

    After General Pershing rushed to the headquarters, Lieutenant General Davis had already arrived.  Although there are other lieutenant generals in the US military, because of the relationship between Lieutenant General Davis and General Pershing, he has become the de facto number two figure in the US military on the Mexican battlefield.

    "Davis, how's the situation?" General Pershing asked.  Although, the Chinese army began to attack, which made him a little nervous.  But the heart that had been hanging around finally returned to my stomach.  It was not known when the Chinese army would launch an attack, which made General Pershing feel a lot of pressure.  Now that the battle has begun, he only needs to command the troops to try their best to defend Chilpancingo!  No need to worry about other problems anymore!

    "General, the Chinese launched an attack at 7:30 in the morning. There is no doubt that they started preparing at least 5:00 this morning. However, the 121st Infantry Division stationed in Mazatlan did not suffer much losses.  After the Chinese launched their attack, they withdrew from Mazatlan. However, after the Chinese captured Mazatlan, they did not continue to attack. They seemed to be waiting for the large forces behind them. It may also be waiting for the Chinese air force.  !" Lieutenant General Davis said.  After the arrival of the Chinese Air Force, in addition to preparing artillery fire before each attack, the Chinese Air Force will also join in to cause greater casualties to the enemy as much as possible, and at the same time clear obstacles for the infantry's attack!

    "Well! Order all ministries to strengthen their defenses and pay attention to air defense! Can our air-raid shelters be able to withstand Chinese bombings?" General Pershing was still a little worried.  During the Battle of Tierra Colorada, many of the US military's artillery holes and tunnels were blown up by the Chinese air force. This caused the US military to pay a heavy price for this.  During the construction of Chilpancingo's defenses, General Pershing especially strengthened the construction of air raid shelters in order to reduce casualties from the Chinese Air Force's bombing.  Who says the US military has no air superiority?  So this approach had to be taken.

    "General, please rest assured that all air-raid shelters have been specially reinforced to withstand the bombing of heavy Chinese aerial bombs. Many air-raid shelters are built in the mountains on both sides. The Chinese air force wants to blow us up."  It¡¯s not that easy!¡± Lieutenant General Davis said.  Like the defense of Tierra Colorada, the focus of the US military's defense system is still on the mountains on both sides of Chilpancingo.  However, the mountains on both sides of Chilpancingo are steeper and more difficult to defend and attack.

    "That's good!" General Pershing nodded.  Anyway, the US military is as ready as possible for battle. If it is still defeated by the Chinese, there will be nothing they can do.  At least General Pershing felt that he had done his best and had a clear conscience!

    After taking Mazatlan, the 11th Infantry Division of the Chinese Army's 6th Group Army began to build fortifications to prevent the US military from counterattacking.

    In this battle to attack Chilpancingo, the three infantry divisions under the 6th Army will be the main force.  At the same time, there are indispensable dozens of divisions of Japanese mercenaries.  The 2nd Army and the 7th Army will be used as reserves.  In addition, in order to strengthen the force this time, Major General Zhao Bowen also brought back more than ten infantry divisions, making the Chinese army and Japanese mercenaries combined to more than 900,000 people, which is no less powerful than the US military.  However, due to the terrain of Chilpancingo, a huge force could not be deployed and could only be deployed gradually.  In order to reduce casualties, we can only think of ways to use firepower!

    The small town of Mazatlan will become the forward base for the Chinese army to launch an attack on Chilpancingo.  Although the US military has no signs of counterattack now, it still has to! The defense forces will jump over the wall in a hurry.  Therefore, strengthening Mazatlan's defenses wasCareful.  However, the Chinese army will not delay its attack on the US military because of this.

    At the field airport in Acapulco, the fighters of the 4th Fighter Wing of the Chinese Air Force and the bombers of the two groups of the 2nd Bomber Wing were already ready to take off.  Because of their slow speed, the airship troops had already taken off first.  Chilpancingo is hundreds of kilometers away from Acapulco. With an airship traveling at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, it would take two hours to fly to Chilpancingo.  Whether it is FB'Haitongqing, fighter jet, HB'Hongyan, bomber, FH5'Falcon, or dive bomber, it only takes less than an hour.  However, the bomb load capacity of bombers cannot be compared with that of airships.  Heavy airships can carry two tons of aerial bombs, and medium-sized airships can also carry one ton of bombs.

    But the HB ¡®Hongyan¡¯ bomber can only carry 1 ton of bombs, and the FH5 ¡®Falcon¡¯ dive bomber can only carry 500 kilograms of aerial bombs

    The FH5 Falcon dive bomber is the latest bomber of the Chinese Air Force. It is mainly designed to solve the problem of inaccurate bombing accuracy of horizontal bombers.  Horizontal bombers are suitable for bombing enemy infantry on the battlefield, or for bombing large targets.  But to ensure the accuracy of bombing, dive bombers must be relied on to bomb small targets, especially warships traveling at high speed on the sea.  The FH5 Falcon, a dive bomber, came into being under these circumstances.

    The FH5 ¡®Falcon¡¯ dive bomber was modified based on the early HB ¡®Hongyan¡¯ bomber, and the body structure was strengthened to prevent the fighter aircraft from disintegrating in the air when diving at a large angle.  At the same time, the defense of the aircraft body has been strengthened to avoid being knocked down by local anti-aircraft firepower when diving.  This makes the FH5'Falcon dive bomber much heavier than the H5'Hongyan bomber, and it has to wait until a high-horsepower aero engine is developed before mass production.  FH5 Falcon is a dive bomber with a length of 04 meters, a wingspan of 132 meters and a height of 28 meters.  It is equipped with a W7 water-cooled engine with a maximum output of 240 horsepower and a maximum speed of 150 kilometers per hour.  The maximum take-off weight is 1,400 kilograms and can carry bombs weighing 500 kilograms.  When bombing a target, it can dive towards the target at an angle of 60 degrees (because of the material, it cannot dive at a nearly vertical angle).  The armament is a 127mm aviation machine gun with a reserve of 200 rounds.  The FH5 ¡®Falcon¡¯ dive bomber is the Army model, while the Navy model is HBD, codenamed ¡®Fish Eagle¡¯.

    At eight o¡¯clock in the morning, the first F5 ¡®Haitongqing¡¯ fighter jet took off from the field airport in Acapulco.  Ten minutes later, all forty fighter jets from the 1st Group of the 4th Fighter Wing took off, forming an aerial formation and flying towards the east.  Immediately afterwards, forty HB'Hongyan fighter jets took off one after another.  Behind them were forty FH5 Falcon dive bombers.  Finally, there are forty fighters from the 2nd Group of the 4th Fighter Wing.  Although, the sky above the Sierra Madre del Sur now belongs to the Chinese Air Force, and no other country's air force can threaten the Chinese Air Force.  However, you still have to be careful.  At the very least, fighter jets can strafe U.S. air defenses and clear obstacles for bombers.  The U.S. military's anti-aircraft machine guns modified from heavy machine guns and light machine guns do not pose a great threat to the Chinese Air Force. However, this time there are dive bombers participating in the battle. If the U.S. military has too many anti-aircraft machine guns, it will still pose a great threat!

    In the sky, one hundred and sixty fighter planes flew eastward in four square formations. The rising sun shone on the fuselage, making it shine with golden light.  At the same time, a large shadow was left on the ground, as if dark clouds were moving in the sky.

    When the officers and soldiers of the Chinese Army on the ground saw the huge fleet of aircraft flying overhead, they couldn't help but burst into cheers, feeling proud of the power of the empire.  They know that soon these fighter planes will drop bombs on the heads of the Americans, blowing them to pieces and reducing their own losses.

    At 9:05 a.m., after an hour¡¯s flight, the Chinese Air Force¡¯s fleet arrived over Chilpancingo.  It was the first time for many US officers and soldiers to see such a huge fleet of aircraft, and they all stared at the sky in stunned silence.  Especially those reinforcements who had just arrived from China. Although they had heard the legend of this new weapon on the road, they were still shocked when they saw such a large-scale group for the first time!
