Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Several Chinese soldiers jumped out of the boat, stepped on the soft sand, and rushed to the river bank.  However, just after running a few steps, they were hit by bullets. Several people fell to the ground, blood flowing from their bodies, dyeing the sand under them red.

    "Da da da! Boom! Boom! Boom!" When the Chinese troops on the south bank of the Rio Grande saw that their comrades had arrived on the north bank of the Rio Grande, they desperately poured firepower on the US military positions in order to be able to  The landing comrades provided the best fire support.  They tried to suppress the US military so that their comrades could successfully land at the minimum cost.

    "Jie Jie!" Several FH5' Falcons and dive bombers began a dive attack. With a scream that could almost pierce a person's eardrum, several aerial bombs weighing 500 kilograms were dropped on the US military position.  superior.  The bomb exploded, forming a huge fireball, destroying a long section of the US military's defense line.  The US military's anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns quickly fired at these dive bombers.  However, these dive bombers became much lighter after dropping the bombs.  They quickly pulled up, shot into the sky, and then returned south.  After dropping the bombs, they need to return to the airport to replenish fuel and replenish ammunition.

    More and more small boats are approaching the north bank of the Rio Grande River, and more and more Chinese troops are stepping onto the beach on the north bank of the Rio Grande River, braving the bullets whizzing overhead.  Although, bullets flew over their heads, and artillery shells exploded around them. If they were not careful, they would be killed.  But everyone was already charging forward with their backs bent.  They knew they were in greater danger if pinned down on the beach.

    "The first company attacks from the left, the second company attacks from the right. The third company breaks through from the middle. The artillery platoon adds up the cannons and kills those naughty Americans!" The battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 231st Regiment of the Chinese Army lay on the beach  Giving orders.  Of the more than a thousand men in the battalion, only a few dozen died while crossing the river. The rest successfully reached the north bank of the Rio Grande.  However, reaching the north bank of the Grand River does not mean victory, the real battle has just begun.  Facing the solid defense line of the US military, a thousand troops are nothing at all.  They are just the leading army.  Behind them, the 232nd Regiment of the 23rd Division of the Chinese Army had begun to board the ship.

    "Boom! Boom!" Two infantry guns and two heavy howitzers from the 3rd Battalion of the 231st Regiment have been unloaded from the ship.  And it was set up immediately and began to fire at the US military position.  Provide fire support to attacking forces.  The three infantry companies below began to attack the US military positions.  However, the firepower of the US military was still very powerful. They were suppressed on the beach and could only rely on the weapons in their hands to shoot at the US military.  However, this is very dangerous for the Chinese army.

    "Division Commander, the Chinese have come ashore! Thousands of them have rushed onto the river beach and are launching an attack on our position." A low-level US military officer reported to the commander of the 117th Division in panic.

    "Asshole, why are you hesitating? Drive those Chinese people into the river quickly!" the commander of the 117th Division roared.  Not long after the battle started, the Chinese had already stormed ashore.  If this continues, it will be very difficult for their division to hold its position.

    "But the division commander and the troops on the front line reported that they had suffered heavy losses under the Chinese attack. There was only one battalion left in the first regiment, and more than half of the second regiment had been killed or injured. They were barely holding on to the defense line, and they couldn't hold it at all.  We don't have the strength to launch a counterattack against the Chinese!" the junior officer replied.  In order to cover the troops crossing the river, the Chinese army mobilized too many heavy artillery to bombard the US military positions, and there were planes in the sky constantly dropping bombs on the US troops.  Under such a blow, the US military suffered very heavy losses.  As the position of the U.S. 117th Division, which was heavily attacked by the Chinese army, it suffered heavy losses as a result.  If the fortifications built by the US military in the past few months were not relatively reliable, the Chinese army might have already invaded their positions.

    "Asshole! Order the division headquarters guard battalion to go to the front line immediately. Except for the officers of the division headquarters, everyone else who can take up arms should go to the front line!" the division commander of the US 117th Division ordered.  At this point in the war, he had no choice but to fight tooth and nail!

    "Division Commander, it's not good. The Chinese have launched a large-scale river crossing again. There are at least several thousand people crossing the river. If they come ashore, our defense line will be in danger!" The chief of staff of the 117th Division rushed into the headquarters.  , reported with a panicked expression.

    "Damn it! Immediately transfer some troops from the 3rd Regiment to strengthen the front line. I will immediately request support from the army commander!" The division commander of the 117th Division also panicked.

    The call was quickly connected, and the commander of the US 117th Division shouted the moment the call was connected: "General, the Chinese are crossing the river in large numbers, and we are about to hold on. Our division's defense line is the focus of the Chinese  The target of the attack. Now our division has??Heavy losses!  Without reinforcements, our position will be breached within an hour!  "

    "Asshole! You must hold your position, otherwise I will shoot you! Reinforcements will arrive soon. I have only one request, you must hold your position, and you cannot let the Chinese break through your defense line!" The commander of the 30th US Army was also a little anxious.  A division of reinforcements was quickly dispatched to the 117th Division's position, and the situation was reported to the headquarters.  After all, judging from the current situation, although the Chinese launched a fierce artillery bombardment on hundreds of kilometers of defense lines, the main attack direction was the defense area of ??the 117th Division of the US 30th Army.

    Although the 30th U.S. Army has a strength of 50,000 troops, their defense line is 50 kilometers long.  Under the fierce attack of the powerful Chinese army, he really didn't know whether he could hold it.

    More than 4,000 people from the 232nd Regiment of the 23rd Division of the Chinese Army took hundreds of small boats and rowed quickly to the north of the Rio Grande.  Because the boat was too small to carry heavy equipment, weapons such as heavy machine guns, infantry guns, and mortars could only be sent over.  Therefore, they also needed the support of artillery on the south bank of the Rio Grande.  Fortunately, the US military's defense line is being ravaged by Chinese army artillery fire and aircraft, and it is not yet possible to cause a serious blow to their crossing of the river.  Although boats were destroyed from time to time and soldiers fell into the river, overall the losses were not very large.

    The surface of the Rio Grande is only more than two hundred meters wide, and you can reach the north bank in a few minutes.  When I saw hundreds of small boats covering almost the entire river, rushing towards me quickly.  The US troops guarding the defense line were also frightened.

    News that the Chinese army crossed the river and successfully boarded the north bank of the Rio Grande was also sent to the US Army's Rio Grande Defense Line Command.  After receiving the news, General Pershing's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip from his face.

    "Asshole, what happened? What are those guys on the front line doing again? It's only been more than two hours since the battle started, and the Chinese have landed. How long can we hold on like this?" General Pershing roared.  The fierceness of the Chinese army's offensive was a bit beyond his expectation!  Originally, he thought that if the Chinese army wanted to land on the north bank of the Rio Grande, they would have to pay a heavy price!  But I didn't expect that the Chinese army would successfully board the north bank of the Rio Grande in such a short period of time!

    "General! The Chinese artillery fire was very fierce, and coupled with the bombing by their aircraft, our army fought very hard. Amidst the fierce Chinese artillery fire and bombing, almost all the defenses on the front line were destroyed.  The position of the 117th Infantry Division, which the Chinese focused on attacking, seemed to have been plowed over. There were 12,000 people in the division, and the casualties now reached more than 30%. The 30th Army had already dispatched a  The reinforcements of the division are going up. But under the fierce attack of the Chinese, we don¡¯t know how long we can hold on." General Davis explained.  He relatively understands the difficult battles on the front line.  After all, although the US military's defense line is strong, it is definitely not as impregnable as advertised.  Once it is bombarded by heavy artillery from the Chinese artillery, or bombed by the Chinese Air Force with heavy aerial bombs, it will also be destroyed.  After losing the protection of those fortifications, the casualties of the US military will further increase!

    "Tell the 30th Army that even if their entire army is exhausted, they must hold their position. At least before dark, the Chinese cannot break through our position! Let the 14th Army be ready to attack the Chinese after dark  , drive them down the river!" General Pershing ordered.  During the day, Chinese aircraft hovered over the US military's defense lines. It was very difficult for the US military to reinforce the front line.  The bombing by the Chinese Air Force alone will cost the US military a huge price.  After nightfall, the Chinese Air Force could no longer continue its operations, which gave the US military an excellent opportunity.

    "Yes, General! I understand!" General Davis nodded.  He also knew that for the US military, night was the best opportunity to counterattack.  But, can the 30th Army hold on until night?

    Thousands of people from the 232nd Regiment of the Chinese Army also successfully landed on the north bank of the Rio Grande.  Although the U.S. military's firepower was still very powerful, they were suppressed on the river beach after landing.  But thousands of people successfully landed, which put great pressure on the US military.  On the two-kilometer-long river beach, the Chinese army and the US military fought fiercely.  The Chinese army wanted to gain a foothold on the river beach and attacked northward to expand their position and break through the US defense lines.  The US military also tried every possible means to hold its position, constantly pouring firepower on the Chinese army, trying to suppress the Chinese army on the river beach!
