    "Have you found a way to deal with the American anti-tank tactics?" General Xie Dingkun asked.  The Military Intelligence Bureau has determined that the United States has developed some anti-tank weapons, but it is not clear how powerful these anti-tank weapons are. This will undoubtedly pose a certain threat to the two-plane formation.  If the Chinese Army's armored forces are suppressed, it may be very difficult to break through the US military's defense lines in a short period of time with minimal cost.

    "Commander, we have not seen the anti-tank weapons of the US military, so we are not yet sure how powerful these weapons are and whether they can pose a threat to our tanks. However, for the sake of caution, before attacking tomorrow, I hope that the group army  The heavy artillery can carry out long-term artillery strikes on the US military's defense lines. Especially the fixed firepower points of the US military are best destroyed. In addition, the Air Force's Falcons and dive bombers can also arrive on the battlefield in time and can remove them for us.  Those firepower points of the US military. When the time comes, I will let the TB'Cheetah, the medium tank's main attack,'Cheetah', the medium tank's frontal armor is 57 mm thick, which is very strong and should be enough to withstand the attack of the US anti-tank weapon!" Fan Zhihua  the major general said.  Because we are not sure about the power of the US military's anti-tank weapons, we can only adopt a more conservative approach.

    ¡®Cheetah, a medium tank with thick armor, rough skin and thick flesh, should be able to withstand the attack of the US military.  However, the armor of TP'Wild Wolf, light tanks and armored vehicles is relatively weak and is relatively easy to be penetrated.  Therefore, during the assault, these tanks and armored vehicles will be scattered behind the TB 'Cheetah' medium tank, and wait until the 'Cheetah' medium tank clears the way before launching an assault.

    "Yeah! That's not bad." General Xie Dingkun nodded.  TB' Cheetah, a medium tank, is the most powerful tank currently in service in the Chinese Army's armored forces. Not only does it have powerful firepower, but its armor is also very thick, enough to fire the first light artillery.  In addition, the Chinese Army is also developing a new generation of tanks. The model is named a medium tank, which adopts new armor and a more powerful engine. The armor and speed have been greatly improved.  After the 96 tanks enter service, the armored forces of the Chinese Army will be even more powerful.  At the same time, the Chinese Army is also developing heavy tanks with larger tonnage and thicker armor.  It's just that the current engine still doesn't meet the requirements, so it hasn't been put into service for a long time.

    "Commander, the Americans have dug long anti-tank trenches in front of the position. These anti-tank trenches are nearly three meters wide, and tanks cannot cross them at all. Although every few thousand meters, the Americans have left trenches up to three meters wide.  Channels of more than ten meters. But we believe that this is likely to be a trap set by the US military, and their anti-tank weapons are deployed behind these channels. Therefore, we are prepared to prioritize attacking and suppressing the firepower points behind these channels, and then  Use trucks to load sand and gravel and fill in several sections of anti-tank trenches. This way, you don¡¯t have to worry about American traps!" Major General Fan Zhihua said.  These are tactics summarized by the armored forces after observing the characteristics of the US military's defense line.

    "Okay, just follow your tactics! I will contact the artillery and air force to provide you with full support!" General Xie Dingkun said.  The number of heavy artillery deployed by the US military near San Luis Potos¨ª is nearly 2,000.  However, now that air supremacy has been seized by the Chinese Air Force, these US artillery units may not dare to risk being bombed by the Chinese Air Force to launch a counterattack, which gives the Chinese army a good opportunity to attack.  As for the US anti-tank weapons, although the specific performance is not clear, with the assistance of artillery and air force, and the strength of the armored forces themselves, they should be able to be easily destroyed.

    At 7:30 in the morning on August 24, all the heavy artillery units of the Chinese Army's 2nd Group Army and the heavy artillery units of the 8th Group Army as a reserve unit all entered the position. A total of thousands of heavy artillery were scattered on a 30-kilometer front.  With the sound of General Xie Dingkun, thousands of heavy artillery pieces opened fire one after another.  The dense artillery shells smashed into the US military positions, erupting with a momentum that shook the earth.  As balls of orange-red fireballs rose above the U.S. military's position, the U.S. military's position was soon shrouded in gunpowder smoke.  On the battlefield, there were flying sand and rocks, and shrapnel flew across the battlefield, destroying everything wantonly.

    The trenches that the US military had painstakingly constructed were blown down, barbed wire fences and the like were blown to pieces, and every firepower point was blown up to the sky.  The firepower points of civil structures cannot withstand the bombardment of large-caliber heavy artillery at all. Only those firepower points made of reinforced concrete can survive such a bombardment.  However, the U.S. Army invested most of its supplies on the Rio Grande defense line in an attempt to build it into a steel defense line that would not be breached.  Therefore, the U.S. military on the Mexican battlefield did not receive much supplies at all, and there were not many supplies that could be used on the defense line.  This makes it difficult for the US military to resist the attack of the Chinese army.

    Although the US military position was severely damaged by the fierce shelling of the Chinese Army.  But the actual damage caused to the US military was not very large.

    The heavy artillery unit of the Chinese ArmyWhen the artillery was fired, the main force of the US military had already retreated to the bomb holes and air raid shelters.  American officers and soldiers who have experienced the first two battles on the Mexican battlefield are all aware of the power of the Chinese Army's artillery fire and the Air Force's bombs, and they worked particularly hard when building anti-gun holes and air-raid shelters.  This allowed the U.S. military to persevere when it was violently bombarded by the Chinese Army's heavy artillery units. Although there were some collapsed bomb-proof holes and air-raid shelters, there were not many.

    At 8 o'clock in the morning, dozens of FB'Hongyan and more than ten fighter jets of the Chinese Air Force

    ¡®Hai Dongqing, under the protection of fighter jets, flew to the US military¡¯s defense line and dropped aerial bombs one after another.  Although these aerial bombs are all 50 kilogram-level aerial bombs, their power is not inferior to the army's heavy artillery.

    The shelling by the Chinese Army lasted for a full hour.  Within this hour, the U.S. artillery was completely reduced to a coward, watching its own troops being ravaged by the Chinese artillery, but with no intention of fighting back.  By the time the Chinese Army's shelling ended, the US military position seemed to have been plowed over.

    At 8:30 in the morning, the Air Force's more than forty FH5' Falcons, dive bombers and more than twenty HB' Haidongqing fighter jets flew to the battlefield. These fighters did not launch an attack immediately;  hover.  Their mission is to provide fire support for the attacking armored forces. Once the armored forces' attack is blocked, they will blast a passage for the armored forces.  At the same time, they will also be responsible for defending against US artillery.  Once the US artillery shows signs of firing, they will destroy the US artillery as soon as possible.

    After the Air Force¡¯s covering fighter planes arrived, the armored units of the 2nd Army began the attack.  TB'Cheetah, the medium tank first drove out of the position and rushed towards the US military position.  Behind a battalion of 'Cheetah' medium tanks, followed by a battalion of TP 'Wolf' light tanks and a battalion of TP armored vehicles.  In addition, there is a battalion of 'Wild Wolves', light tanks and a battalion of armored vehicles on the position.  In addition, hundreds of trucks have been prepared, and these trucks are loaded with sand and gravel.  After the armored forces in front suppress the U.S. military, these trucks will load sand and gravel to fill the U.S. anti-tank trenches, allowing the armored forces to directly enter the U.S. positions and break through the U.S. defense lines!

    Hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles formed a torrent of steel, rushing toward the U.S. defense line with the sound of rumbling motors and the sound of "creeping" tracks crushing the ground.  The advanced position of the Chinese Army's Second Group Army is less than five kilometers away from the US military's defense line. It only takes less than half an hour for the armored troops to rush to the front of the US military's position.

    "General! The Chinese armored forces are dispatched!" Lieutenant General Cole said to General Davis.

    "Order the artillery to fire and destroy the Chinese armored forces!" General Davis said immediately. The reason why he had the artillery hidden before was waiting for this moment.  He knew that if there was an artillery battle, the US artillery would not be able to take any advantage.  Therefore, he simply used artillery to deal with the armored forces of the Chinese Army.  The tanks and armored vehicles of the Chinese Army's armored forces are also unable to withstand bombardment from large-caliber heavy artillery.  Once hit, it will also be destroyed.  It's just that when large-caliber heavy artillery is used against fast-moving armored targets, the probability of hitting it is very small.

    "General, the Chinese air force is still there! If the artillery fires at this time, it will be bombed by the Chinese air force!" Lieutenant General Cole reminded.

    "It doesn't matter, there are only a few dozen planes. Let the artillery seize the opportunity to fire!" General Davis remained unmoved.

    Soon, the US heavy artillery units hidden in the woods tore off their camouflage and began shelling based on the coordinates given by the observers in front.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Dense artillery shells fell on the flat ground a few kilometers in front of the US military position. The explosion of each artillery shell could erupt into a very strong air wave, lifting up the sand and gravel on the ground.

    "Damn! American heavy artillery! The armored forces disperse immediately! Request artillery to suppress the American heavy artillery! Contact the Air Force and ask for support!" Major General Fan Zhihua cursed secretly.

    When the US military bombardment began, hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles of the armored forces dispersed immediately. However, this time, a total of more than 500 heavy artillery pieces of the US military opened fire.  There were still several tanks and armored vehicles that failed to escape, and were directly blown into a ball of fireballs during the US bombardment!
