Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "The Chinese are starting to cross the river! Open fire and kill all those Chinese!! From the US defense line, the shouts of the US frontline commanders came. A large number of US soldiers filed out of the artillery holes.  , entered the position. The US military's anti-gun holes were relatively strong this time. Except for a few that were destroyed by bombing, the rest were still intact.

    "Ta-ta-ta! Boom! Boom! Boom!" From the US military position, light machine guns, mortars and mountain artillery began to shoot into the river.  The dense bullets hit the river, causing splashes of water.  When a cannonball explodes in a river, it will splash up clouds of water.

    After the US military began to attack, the mortars and infantry artillery that had been prepared on the Chinese army's position south of the Rio Grande also opened fire one after another, throwing the shells onto the US military's defense line regardless of the cost to provide comrades who were crossing the river.  Fire support.

    "Click, click, click!" The light and heavy machine guns of the Army's 231st Regiment also opened fire, and dense bullets began to suppress the U.S. troops on the other side of the river.  When the troops were crossing the river, they were unable to evade in time. They were like living targets in front of the Americans, and they were also the most vulnerable to attack.

    "Boom!" A small boat was hit by a mountain cannon shell.  The fragile disembarkation was torn apart by the explosion. The twelve Chinese soldiers on board suffered heavy casualties and all sank into the river.  The autumn river water was freezing cold, and the soldiers who were not killed struggled desperately to get rid of the equipment they carried.  However, the heavy equipment was not so easy to untie. They were unable to float in the water and eventually sank to the bottom of the river.

    "Tap!" A row of bullets shot past, and a small boat was hit. Two Chinese soldiers were shot in the chest. Blood poured out of their bodies, flowing into the boat and into the river.

    Although the Chinese army launched fire suppression on the US military, the fierce shooting by the US military still caused great losses to the 1st Battalion of the 231st Regiment that was crossing the river.  Many boats were hit and capsized in the river.  It is simply impossible for soldiers with equipment all over their bodies to swim across the river.  The equipment they carry on their backs will drag them directly to the bottom of the river.

    "Buzz!" A sound like a large swarm of wasps was heard in the sky.  The Air Force fighter plane finally arrived in time.  Because the location of the crossing had to be kept secret until the Army began crossing the river.  Therefore, the Air Force fighter planes flew to the battlefield after the cross-river offensive had begun.

    "Jie Jie!" FH5 Falcon, the dive bomber started the attack first.  Amidst the shrill roar that seemed to burst a person's eardrums, an aerial bomb weighing 500 kilograms was thrown into the trenches of the US military.

    "Boom!" The aerial bomb exploded, forming a huge fireball with a diameter of more than ten meters. Everything inside was swallowed up by the fireball.  All the American soldiers affected were killed and all their equipment was destroyed.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The Air Force's HB'Hongyan bombers also began to drop bombs on the heads of the US military in small groups.  These 'Hongyan' bombers carry aerial bombs weighing 50 kilograms.

    Such aerial bombs are enough to deal with infantry.  As a large number of aerial bombs were dropped on the US military position, the entire position turned into a sea of ??fire.  The US military suffered heavy casualties under the attack of the Chinese Air Force.  The attack on the Chinese troops crossing the river was also greatly affected.

    "Shoot! Shoot down the Chinese planes!" After the Chinese Air Force's bombing began, the air defense forces on the US defense line also began to use anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns to attack the fighters in the air.  Dense tracer bullets formed fire nets in the air.  However, these fire nets seem to be very dense, but in fact they are very sparse.  The Chinese Air Force fighter planes are like light birds, flying through the fire net.

    "Ta-ta-ta!" After the US air defense forces began to attack the Chinese Air Force in the sky, Haidongqing, fighter jets began to attack these air defense positions.  The fighter planes quickly passed over the US air defense positions, and several US soldiers fell into a pool of blood amid the fire from the aircraft machine guns.  Those FH5 Falcon and dive bombers also seemed to target these US air defense positions.  Facing infantry that poses no threat at all, it is easier for them to attack these threatening air defense soldiers, which seems to be more challenging.

    "Jie Jie!" Amidst the screams of Falcon and dive bombers, aerial bombs weighing 500 kilograms have been dropped on the US military's air defense positions.  It often only takes one heavy aerial bomb to destroy several anti-aircraft machine guns or anti-aircraft guns on a US military anti-aircraft position.

    The U.S. military¡¯s positions suffered heavy losses under the willful attacks of the Chinese Air Force.  And this time

    The surviving officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 231st Regiment of the Chinese Army also took the opportunity to board the sandbar in the center of the river.  and startOn the sandbank, they used the weapons they carried, including light and heavy machine guns and mortars, to fire at the US military.  !

    The sandbank is not large and the terrain is flat, so it cannot provide any protection to the Chinese soldiers who board the sandbank.  The soldiers lie on the ground and use their weapons to fight the US troops hiding in trenches or fire points, so they will naturally suffer a little more.  From time to time, soldiers were shot and died, but everyone gritted their teeth and persisted.  Fortunately, with the support of artillery from the rear and the support of fighter planes in the air, the firepower of the US military was severely suppressed.  Otherwise, they would not be able to stand on the sandbar at all.

    "General, the Chinese have begun to cross the river! The place they chose to cross the river is exactly the section of the river ten kilometers south of Laredo. Now, they are moving towards the sandbar in the center of the river, and our troops are attacking them!" The Chinese army began  After crossing the river, General Davis received the relevant news immediately and quickly reported it to General Pershing.

    "Can we stop the Chinese?" General Pershing asked anxiously.

    "General, the Chinese are currently using a large amount of air force to bomb our positions, and our losses are somewhat heavy. However, we have also caused great casualties to the Chinese who are crossing the river!" Admiral Davis said quickly.

    "Order the artillery to fire! Crush the Chinese attack!" General Pershing hesitated and then said.

    "Yes, General!" General Davis nodded and immediately went out to make arrangements.  He knew what Admiral Pershing was hesitating about.  When the Chinese violently bombarded the US military's defense lines before, the US artillerymen acted like cowards.  It's not that the US military doesn't dare to start an artillery battle with the Chinese artillery, but it is worried that once it fires, it will attract the attention of the Chinese Air Force.  With the Army Aviation Corps losing all its fighter jets, the U.S. military is simply unable to defend itself against threats from the air.  But now, in order to prevent the Chinese from having the opportunity to board the north bank of the Rio Grande, even if they know that using artillery will be hit by the Chinese air force, they don't care so much.

    About five kilometers away from the Rio Grande, in the woods, a heavy artillery regiment of the U.S. Army was killed.  This regiment is equipped with 60 heavy guns with a diameter exceeding 105 mm, 12 of which are 155 mm heavy howitzers.

    "Get ready for each artillery position. Ten rounds of rapid fire!" After receiving the order from General Davis, the artillery regiment immediately took action.  Their artillery had already entered the artillery position by the woods, and adjusted the bombardment position according to the previously marked shooting elements.  However, in order to reduce losses, they will shoot ten shells as quickly as possible and then hide in the woods to avoid being bombed by the Chinese Air Force.

    "Bang, bang, bang!" Amidst the bursts of low shelling, sixty US heavy artillery began to fire at the sandbar in the center of the Rio Grande.  For these heavy artillery, it only takes ten minutes to fire ten shells.  Then retreating into the woods takes less than twenty minutes in total.  However, this period is still very dangerous.  Once the Chinese Air Force discovers their target, they will suffer a heavy blow!

    "Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" A sharp whistle came from the air.  Many officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the Army's 231st Regiment, who had already landed on the sandbank in the center of the Rio Grande, changed their expressions.  They were experienced enough to recognize that this was the sound of heavy artillery from the US military.  They simply couldn't imagine the consequences of being bombarded by heavy artillery from the US military on a flat, completely unobstructed sandbank!

    "Hide! Disperse! American artillery fire!" the officers and veterans shouted loudly, and took the lead in dispersing in all directions.  And some of the new recruits who have just been added to the army have not yet figured out what is going on.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" A violent explosion sounded on the sandbank. The US heavy artillery shells exploded on the sandbank, erupting into clusters of orange-red fireballs.  The powerful heavy artillery shells left large craters on the sandbank.  The scattered shrapnel wantonly harvested the lives of the Chinese soldiers above.  Some cannonballs fell into the river and exploded, causing water columns to rise into the sky.

    "What a fool! Ask the heavy artillery troops to fight back!" the leader of the 231st regiment shouted loudly with tears in his eyes.

    Although he didn¡¯t know what the situation was like on the sandbank, he knew that his 1st Battalion must have suffered heavy losses.

    The Chinese Air Force aircraft circling in the sky also discovered this situation. A squadron of HB

    "Hongyan bombers and a squadron of FU5'Falcon and dive bombers, protected by more than a dozen FB'Haidongqing fighter jets, quickly flew north in an attempt to find the US artillery positions and destroy them.  Otherwise, the Chinese soldiers on the sandbank will bleed into rivers under the U.S. bombardment and suffer extensive casualties!
