    "Boom!" An armored vehicle was hit, and its fragile armor was penetrated. The two drivers in front were killed on the spot, and several soldiers riding behind were also injured. They quickly escaped from the damaged armored vehicle.  However, after escaping, they were met with machine gun fire from the US military. Several soldiers were hit on the spot and fell to the ground.

    The Chinese Air Force fighter planes hovering in the sky also discovered the crisis facing the armored forces.  An HB 'Haitongqing' fighter jet circled down and dropped two aerial bombs under the wings at an altitude of more than 500 meters above the ground.  However, the hit rate of the bombs dropped by the fighter jets is really not flattering. Both bombs deviated from the target by dozens of meters. Apart from blowing a big crater in the US military position, they had no effect at all.

    "Jie Jie!" An FH5 Falcon dive bomber quickly dived downwards and dropped an aerial bomb on a US anti-tank firepower point.  An aerial bomb weighing 500 kilograms fell on the US military's firepower point. In the huge explosion, the entire firepower point was leveled to the ground, and no bones of the US soldiers inside were left.

    One after another, Falcon and dive bombers began to attack the US anti-tank firepower points, destroying the US anti-tank firepower points.  However, the U.S. military's anti-aircraft firepower was also extremely powerful. Several Falcon and dive bombers were hit when they were dropping bombs or after dropping bombs, and when they pulled up their fuselages, they eventually crashed.  The US military also expected that anti-tank firepower points would be bombed by the Chinese Air Force, so it deployed a large amount of anti-aircraft firepower.  On the one hand, it provides protection for anti-tank firepower points, and on the other hand, it also takes the opportunity to hunt down Chinese Air Force fighters.

    "Boom!" A TB' Cheetah, a medium-sized tank, was hit in the front. The thick armor blocked the bombardment of the US armor-piercing projectile, but the huge impact injured the tank crew inside.  The injured tank soldiers continued to operate the tank, trying to destroy the firepower of the US military attacking them, but an armor-piercing projectile flew from the side again.  The armor-piercing bullet penetrated the armor on the side of the tank, making a hole as big as a fist and killing all the tank soldiers inside.

    More and more tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed by the US anti-tank firepower. Especially after the Air Force dive bombers in the sky dropped their bombs and returned, the situation of the Chinese Army's armored forces became even more threatening. After there was no air threat,  The US anti-tank troops can use their anti-tank guns to kill the tanks and armored vehicles of the Chinese Army Armored Forces.  Moreover, the US military has discovered that the armor of the TB' Cheetah, a medium tank, is very thick, and it is difficult to penetrate it from the front even at a distance of about a hundred meters.  Therefore, to destroy the TB 'Cheetah', a medium tank, only attack from the sides.  As for Tg'Wild Wolf, light tanks cannot withstand the US anti-tank guns at all and are the targets of torture.  Those anti-tank guns are relatively weak and difficult to shake tanks. They can only attack those armored vehicles.

    Even before the attack, the armored brigade of the Chinese Army's 2nd Army had already considered the threat of US anti-tank weapons.  However, after the battle began, they discovered that the threat from US anti-tank weapons was far greater than they imagined.  In addition to the TB 'Cheetah', medium tanks that can withstand the bombardment of US anti-tank guns, the TP 'Wild Wolf', light tanks and armored vehicles, cannot withstand it at all.

    "Boom!" There was an explosion, and an armored vehicle was overturned. The wheel hit an anti-tank mine. After the mine exploded, the lighter armored vehicle was overturned directly.  The Chinese soldiers inside were also injured. They struggled to escape from the damaged armored vehicle, but were hit by US machine gun and rifle fire.

    The U.S. military does not have many anti-tank mines, so at least a few small minefields are simply deployed.  The Chinese armored forces had a chance to avoid these minefields before and were not damaged.  However, after being attacked by the US anti-tank troops, they began to scatter and avoid. Some tanks and armored vehicles broke into the minefield, and a lot of damage immediately occurred.  The tracks of tanks can easily be blown up by anti-tank mines, and armored vehicles will be severely damaged.  Under the attack of this kind of anti-tank tactics of the US Army, the offensive of the Chinese Army's 2nd Army Armored Brigade was not only contained, but its own casualties were also very high!

    Since the formation of the Chinese Army's armored forces, they have always used their thick armor and speed to easily break through the enemy's defense lines. They have never encountered such a situation.

    The powerful anti-tank troops of the US military caused great losses to the armored brigade of the 2nd Army.

    In the face of huge casualties, even the strong-willed Chinese army still panicked.  Some tanks began to turn around, preparing to escape, but when they turned, they exposed the fragile backs of the tanks to the U.S. military.  The US military can easily operate anti-tank guns to destroy these tanks that turn around and escape.

    "Damn it! Don't turn around!!!" the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Army Armored Brigade ordered loudly.  !

      At this time, the fourth batch of fighter jets from the Air Force rushed to the battlefield and bombed the US anti-tank firepower points.  The armored brigade of the 2nd Army was able to withdraw from the battle.  However, the huge losses were unbearable for the entire armored brigade.  This was the first time since they formed an army that they had suffered such heavy losses on the battlefield.  Although the Armored Brigade of the Second Army also lost a lot of tanks during the Battle of the Central Mexican Defense Line, those tanks were all destroyed due to malfunctions.  But it¡¯s different now. It was indeed destroyed by the US military!

    Major General Fan Zhihua, commander of the 2nd Army Armored Brigade, looked so gloomy that he could drip water. The battle was over, and the tanks and armored vehicles of the 2nd Army Armored Brigade had also withdrawn.  However, the destroyed and even burning wreckage of tanks and armored vehicles left in front of the US military position showed the price the 2nd Army Armored Brigade had just paid.

    The battle losses were quickly calculated. In the attack just now, the 2nd Army Armored Brigade lost 23 TB'Cheetah, medium tanks, 48 ??TP'Wolf, light tanks and 26 armored vehicles.  This time, almost half of the remaining attacking troops were lost.  Such a blow was also a heavy blow to the 2nd Army Armored Brigade.

    "What the hell, why are you like this?" When Major General Fan Zhihua handed over the battle damage to General Xie Dingkun, General Xie Dingkun couldn't help but curse.  Not only did they not break through the US military's defense line, they also lost so many tanks and armored vehicles.  The 2nd Army had not suffered such heavy losses for a long time.

    "Commander, please give me another chance. I will immediately organize the troops to launch an attack. This time I will definitely break through the US military's defense line!" Major General Fan Zhihua said with a blushing face.

    "We still have to attack. Haven't we lost enough tanks, armored vehicles and soldiers? Suspend the attack until we find a way to break through the US military's defense line!" General Xie Dingkun roared angrily.

    The armored units of each group army are their treasures, and now they have lost so many at once, how can he accept it?

    "Yes, Commander!" Major General Fan Zhihua said with his head lowered.  This failure dealt a heavy blow to the armored brigade.  After experiencing the battle of the defense line in central Mexico, they already thought they were invincible. They believed that the US military's defense line could not withstand their attack at all, and the advancing tracks of the armored forces could easily crush the US military standing in front of them.  However, now the US military has given them a slap in the face with practical actions.  Although the combat effectiveness of the US military is not as good as that of the Chinese army, there is also a big gap between the US military and the Chinese army in terms of fighting will.  However, after experiencing repeated failures, the US military began to gradually grow.  Facts have shown that once the US military finds an opportunity, it will cause huge damage to the Chinese army.

    After returning to the brigade headquarters, Major General Fan Zhihua immediately summoned the battalion commanders of each battalion to discuss ways to deal with the US military.  However, the armored brigade relies on the thick armor of tanks and armored vehicles. Now the armor can no longer provide them with complete protection, which has greatly affected the morale of the troops.

    At the same time, not only the morale of the armored brigade was affected, but other units were also affected.  Most people think that this time they can easily break through the US military's defense line, and think that the armored forces can easily win. After the armored forces break through the US military's defense line, the infantry only needs to follow the armored forces and reap the results.  But now, the armored troops they had placed high hopes on suffered a disastrous defeat, and other troops were also blinded.  Even the armored forces failed, so can they still break through the US military's defense line?

    Marshal Zhao Bowen, who was in the rear, rushed to the front line personally after learning that the 2nd Army's attack had been frustrated and suffered heavy losses.  However, after walking around the front line, Marshal Zhao Bowen frowned, and his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.  Failure is not terrible. What is terrible is that you will be timid because of one failure. This is the biggest enemy.

    Marshal Zhao Bowen immediately ordered a meeting of all officers at the regiment level and armored brigade and battalion level of the 2nd Army.  When he saw these officers walking into the venue dejectedly, he was even more furious.

    "Everyone, please raise your head, don't look like your parents are dead! Isn't it just a defeat? What's the big deal? You don't really think you are invincible, do you?  ? Could it be that without the armored forces, you won¡¯t be able to fight? If that¡¯s really the case, then why fight? It¡¯s better to admit defeat as soon as possible!¡± Marshal Zhao Bowen went berserk on the spot!
