    The U.S. military's defense in Cuautla is very strong. In addition to the central city, there are three tight lines of defense on the periphery.  Each line of defense is composed of continuous trenches and solid firepower points.  The three lines of defense are connected by communication trenches. Once the front line of defense suffers heavy losses, the army behind can quickly provide reinforcements.  Moreover, the troops defending the first line of defense are the 8th Army newly transferred from the United States to the Mexican battlefield. They were originally stationed on the west coast of the United States. This time, in order to ensure that the Mexican battlefield will not be easily defeated by the Chinese army, the U.S. Army Staff  Three armies were mobilized from the west coast to join the Mexican battlefield.

    Although the combat effectiveness of the US 8th Army is not necessarily much higher than that of other US military units, their morale has not been affected at all. It is not like other units that suffered too many defeats at the hands of the Chinese army, resulting in low morale.  .  Moreover, their high fighting spirit and morale can also promote other troops.  This is why General Davis placed this elite force directly on the front line.

    The Chinese army¡¯s artillery preparations will take half an hour as planned.  When the US artillery launched a counterattack, the two sides launched a fierce artillery battle.  Artillery positions were constantly hit, many cannons were destroyed, and artillerymen were killed.  But overall, the Chinese Army's artillery force, which has both quantitative and qualitative advantages, has a great advantage.

    The observation balloons on both sides can report the location of the other side's artillery positions to their respective artillery, which makes the artillery battle very fierce.  Less than ten minutes after the artillery battle began, both sides suffered considerable losses.

    "Where are the Air Force fighter planes? When will they arrive? Let's shoot down the American artillery observation balloons first!" General He Bingju, commander of the 8th Group Army of the Chinese Army, said with a frown.  According to the arrangement of Marshal Zhao Bowen, the 8th Army will be responsible for the attack on Cuautla, and North Korean mercenaries will assist the 8th Army.  Ten additional infantry divisions will also serve as reserves.  There is no doubt that the mission of the 8th Army is very important, but at the same time, the 8th Army also lost the opportunity to outflank Mexico.  The 2nd Army and the 7th Army will follow the armored forces and launch an outflank of the main U.S. force in Mexico City.

    "Commander, the Air Force fighter jets are already on the way and are expected to arrive in ten minutes!" Lieutenant General Wei Jingwu, the new chief of staff of the 8th Group Army, reported.  Before the attack began, the Chinese Army's engineering troops built several field airports near Iguala, and all the Air Force's fighter planes and airships were transferred to these field airports to facilitate rapid reinforcement of frontline operations.  Based on the speed of the 'Haitongqing' fighter jet, it only takes half an hour to rush to the front line from Iguala. The speed of the HB'Hongyan, bomber and FU5'Falcon, dive bomber is a little slower, but only just  It takes more than forty minutes to reach the battlefield.

    At 8:25 a.m. on April 25, twelve ¡®Haidongqing¡¯ fighter jets from the 2nd Squadron of the 1st Group of the 4th Fighter Wing of the Chinese Air Force were the first to arrive on the battlefield.  A small group of four fighter planes had already received the order to pounce on the observation balloon of the US artillery.  The observation balloons of the US military artillery had no power to fight back against the Chinese Air Force fighters.

    "No! God! Please pull me down quickly!" a US artillery observer yelled in fear.  But it's too late!  A Chinese Air Force fighter plane launched an attack on the observation balloon.

    "Click, click, click!" The sound of an aircraft machine gun rang out, and a row of bullets was fired. The observation balloon of the US artillery suddenly turned into a fireball, falling rapidly.  Ten seconds later, it fell to pieces on the ground.  The fighter plane that shot down this observation balloon had already pounced on other observation balloons.

    "Damn it! Counterattack! Counterattack! Shoot down all the Chinese planes!" the commander of the US military front line ordered loudly.  Chinese Air Force fighter jets circled in the sky and launched an attack on the U.S. artillery position.  Often a row of bullets was fired over, and many American artillerymen fell into a pool of blood.  The 25-kilogram aerial bomb mounted under the wing of the fighter plane can also cause considerable damage to the U.S. military after it falls on the U.S. artillery position.  Under such a blow, the US artillery was greatly disrupted.

    The US air defense troops hurriedly began to operate anti-aircraft machine guns and began to capture traces of the Chinese Air Force in the sky.

    A fighter jet numbered PH18 just dropped two bombs under its wings, destroying a US artillery piece and killing several artillerymen.  The pilot was going to pull up the nose of the plane and then use aircraft machine guns to shoot at the US military position.  At this time, several pillars of fire shot up from the US military position.  The US anti-aircraft machine guns deployed in this artillery position opened fire.

    "Click, click, click!" The dense bullets followed the Chinese Air Force fighter jets, and several large holes were punched in the wings of the planes.  The pilot was shocked and began to evade, but it was too late.  dense bulletsThe left wing of the fighter jet was immediately broken. After losing its balance, the fighter jet roared and fell to the ground.  As a last resort, the pilots on the fighter plane can only parachute to escape, but below is the US military position. Whether they can survive depends on God's blessing.  The US military suffered heavy losses in the attack by the Chinese army. It is difficult to say whether the US military will use Chinese pilots to vent its hatred.

    A few seconds later, the damaged fighter fell to the ground, exploded and burst into flames, and a small white flower appeared in the sky.  After the pilot landed, US soldiers had already surrounded him.

    "I surrender!" Before Fei Fei could finish his words, the American soldier hit him with the butt of his rifle and knocked him to the ground.

    "Well done! Just do it like this and knock down all those Chinese flies!" The US soldiers cheered after seeing the Chinese aircraft being shot down.  During this period of time, the US military has been bullied enough by the Chinese Air Force. Many US soldiers have died in bombing and strafing by the Chinese Air Force.  This time, we were finally able to shoot down a Chinese Air Force aircraft.  Although this is only the first one, they believe that more and more Chinese Air Force aircraft will be shot down by them.

    General Davis witnessed the Chinese Air Force fighter plane being shot down with his own eyes. His face was immediately filled with a smile, and he was as happy as a child.  As the commander of the US military, he knew that if the Chinese Air Force had not been too powerful, the defense line in the Sierra Madre del Sur that they focused on would not have been so easily broken through by the Chinese army.  Now, the U.S. military can finally fight back against the Chinese Air Force.

    The Chinese Air Force fighter jet was shot down, which made other fighter jets very nervous. They all pulled up their noses and quickly climbed to a safe distance.  However, during this process, two fighter planes still did not escape the fate of being shot down.

    One of them, the pilot was hit directly and died on the spot.  The other pilot bailed out.  The pilots of the Chinese Air Force did not expect that the US military would be able to counterattack, and they were careless and caused heavy losses.

    The officers and soldiers of the Chinese Army and the Japanese and North Korean mercenaries also had faces full of disbelief.  Before, they all regarded the Chinese Air Force as invincible.  But now, the Air Force fighter plane was actually shot down, which immediately dealt a big blow to the originally high morale.  However, most people believe that this is just a coincidence.

    The anti-aircraft machine gun used by the U.S. military to shoot down the Chinese Air Force fighter plane was the latest research result of the U.S. military. It uses a 177 mm caliber and has an effective shooting height of two thousand meters. It is extremely lethal to the Chinese Air Force fighter planes and airships.  Judging from the preliminary performance on the battlefield, the performance of this machine gun is pretty good.

    Three fighter planes were shot down, making the Chinese Air Force fighters behind them also become cautious.  Especially for the slower HB Hongyan bombers, after arriving at the battlefield, they were strictly ordered to only drop bombs at an altitude of more than two thousand meters.  Although this ensures the safety of the fighter plane, the hit rate is very low.  The bombing effect of forty HB'Hongyan fighter jets can even be described as pitiful.  Less than a hundred American soldiers were killed, and most of the bombs missed their targets.

    At this time, the commander of the Air Force issued new orders for fighter jets and dive bombers to focus on attacking the US air defense positions.  Only after destroying the US military's air defense positions can the Air Force launch large-scale bombings against the US military.

    "Jie Jie!" An FH5' Falcon dive bomber roared towards a US air defense position. The US anti-aircraft gunner quickly adjusted its position, but the dive itself came down at an oblique angle of 60 degrees, almost within a few seconds.  The bombing distance was reached within seconds, without giving the US military much time to react.  A black aerial bomb detached from the belly of the dive bomber and landed directly on the US military's air defense position.

    "Boom!" The 500-kilogram aerial bomb was so powerful that the entire US military's air defense position was swept away by the explosion.  After the smoke dissipated, a large crater with a diameter of several meters appeared on the ground. The mutilated corpses of American soldiers were scattered around. As for the anti-aircraft machine guns of several boats, they had already been blown into parts.

    Dive bombers carried out dive bombing on U.S. air defense positions, and achieved great results. Many U.S. air defense positions were destroyed by dive bombers.  Fighters also circled down, strafing and bombing the US air defense positions, and achieved considerable results.  However, in one hour of bombing, the Chinese Air Force lost six fighter jets and one dive bomber!  -
