"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The arrival of a large number of fresh troops of the Imperial Army directly stopped the offensive momentum of the American armored forces. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Tanks are constantly being blown up, so that the follow-up tanks can only retreat. After all, people are afraid. When you see your tank destroyed, even the most determined person will be frightened.

This allowed the 16th Panzer Brigade of the Imperial Army to begin to regain lost positions and continue to block the encirclement. In addition, reinforcements from a regiment of the 77th Infantry Division also arrived on the battlefield and began to strengthen the position, so that the encirclement became solid again.

"Damn, reinforcements from the Chinese have arrived, what should we do?" Major General Taylor said with a dark face. Originally, I thought it was about to succeed, but I didn't expect it to be like this again in the end.

Major General Spartz, commander of the 7th Infantry Division of the US Army, also had a very ugly face.

"Hell, order our troops, continue to intensify the offensive. Even if reinforcements from the Chinese come, we have an absolute numerical superiority, and the Chinese cannot compare with us. Major General Spaz ordered loudly. He knows very well that if the time drags on, the more detrimental it will be to the US military. Because the reinforcements of the Chinese army are constantly rushing to the battlefield at this moment. The longer it drags on, the more Chinese reinforcements will arrive on the battlefield. When the time comes, if they want to successfully break through, it will be even more impossible.

Having received an order from Major General Spaz, the armored forces of the American army continued the offensive. It's just that the strength of the armored forces of the Chinese Army is getting stronger and stronger, and if the US military wants to defeat the armored forces of the Chinese Army, it will have to pay a greater price. This made the armored units of the American army, in front of the positions of the Imperial Army, pay more and more losses. The wreckage of a tank, everywhere. The burning wreckage of the tanks lit up the surrounding battlefield, making it easier for the Imperial Army's tanks to hit their targets.

In the temporary headquarters of the Eastern Front of the Empire, Marshal Cai Songpo was also anxiously waiting for the battle report. It was indeed somewhat unexpected that the Americans would launch a breakout on the night of the Imperial Army's attack. However, he believed that the Imperial Army would be able to resist the attack of the US-Australian coalition and hold the encirclement under such circumstances.

"How's the battle going?" Marshal Cai Songpo asked.

"Marshal, higher received news that the 771st Infantry Regiment and the 2nd Tank Battalion of the 16th Armored Brigade suffered very heavy losses. However, the 16th Tank Battalion and the 3rd Tank Battalion of the 3rd Armored Brigade had already arrived on the battlefield, and the 773rd Regiment had also arrived on the battlefield. Although we are still under a lot of pressure, there should be no problem in resisting the attack of the US-Australian coalition. A staff officer replied.

Marshal Cai Songpo nodded, and he was also relieved to hear that the battle situation on the front line had stabilized. If it goes on like this, it's more troublesome. Fortunately, God still seems to be on the side of the Imperial Army.

"Call the Air Force, and immediately after dawn take off fighter planes to attack the US-Australian coalition forces and force them to abandon their plans to break out." Marshal Cai Songpo ordered. It was night, and the fighters of the Imperial Air Force could not take off for battle, and this gave the US-Australian coalition a chance to break through. If it was daytime, they wouldn't have dared to do it.

"Yes, Marshal." The staff officer nodded, and immediately went to give orders.

On the battlefield, three tank battalions of the 16th Armored Brigade of the Imperial Army, with the cooperation of infantry, resisted the attack of the American armored forces. Hundreds of tanks of the 3rd and 7th Panzer Divisions of the US Army, in front of the lines of the armored forces of the Imperial Army, thumped their heads and suffered heavy losses. This is also because it is a night battle, and the line of sight has been greatly affected. If it had been fought during the day, the losses of the American armored forces would have been even greater.

"Attack, keep attacking." The commanders of the armored units of the U.S. military are still giving orders. A large number of American tanks were rushing towards the Imperial Army line. It's just that many tanks were destroyed by the tanks of the Imperial Army in the middle of the road.

"General, the strength of the Chinese has increased a lot, and our tank units have suffered extremely heavy losses." The commander of a tank regiment reported to Major General Spaz. His tank regiment has lost more than half of its tank regiment by now.

"Our losses are large, and the losses of the Chinese will not be small. Keep on the offensive, our time is running out. In a few hours, it was dawn. At that point, we won't have any chance of winning. Major General Spartz said angrily.

As soon as dawn comes, fighters from the Chinese Air Force will inevitably come to fight. At that time, the armored forces of the US army will only be the target of the slaughter of the fighters of the Imperial Air Force. In addition, during the day, the performance of the Imperial Army's tanks will be fully utilized. When the time comes, the losses of the armored forces of the US army will rise in a straight line. When the time comes, they will have no chance of winning.

"Yes, General." The colonel hurriedly went to give the order to attack again.

It's just that the current offensive of the US armored forces is simply futile. As the Imperial Army's defense line became more and more solid, the offensive of the American army was simply looking for death. Their tanks are often destroyed within effective range.

At the headquarters of the US-Australian coalition, Admiral MacArthur was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. The breakthrough operation of the US-Australian coalition has begun, and he has already sent out the two biggest hole cards in his hand. However, whether he can succeed or not, he still has no confidence at all. If they can successfully break through, they can take the opportunity to evacuate a group of elite troops and let them disperse to the vast land of Australia to continue the fight against the Chinese Empire. If it fails, then there is nothing else to say.

There was a sound of footsteps, and the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Christie, pushed open the door and walked in.

"How's the battle going? Have we torn open the line of defense of the Chinese? Admiral MacArthur asked.

Lieutenant General Christie shook his head: "The fierce battle continues, and we are still fighting with the Chinese." However, our two armored divisions have done their best, and they still cannot tear through the Chinese defenses. Their losses are already significant. But reinforcements from the Chinese also seem to have arrived. ”

"Damn, how can this be? Why were the Chinese able to withstand our attacks under our sudden blows, and their reinforcements came so quickly? Admiral MacArthur seemed a little uneasy to accept this result.

Admiral MacArthur knew how powerful the Imperial Army was, so he pinned his hopes on a surprise attack. It stands to reason that the armored forces of the Imperial Army were scattered. The possibility of a surprise attack by the US military concentrating hundreds of tanks and successfully tearing apart the Chinese defense line is very high. In that case, they would be able to successfully tear a hole in the Imperial Army's defensive line, allowing the elite troops of the American and Australian coalition forces to successfully break through. However, now it seems that there is a big gap between the development of the battle situation and their previous expectations!

"Your Excellency, the strength of the Chinese's defensive line and the speed of their counterattack were completely unexpected by us." Lieutenant General Christie said. He also knew very well that if he did not succeed in tearing through the defense line of the Chinese army at the beginning of the battle. Then, it is almost impossible to achieve complete goals in the subsequent battles.

A look of anger flashed across Admiral MacArthur's face, and he knew that this time it would be difficult to succeed.

"Send a telegram to Major General Taylor and Major General Spart, their time is running out. Within an hour, the defense line of the Chinese must be torn apart. Admiral MacArthur ordered.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." Lieutenant General Christie nodded.

"Also, get the seaplane ready. Within an hour, if they can't tear through the Chinese's defenses, we'll evacuate. Admiral MacArthur continued.

"Alright, Your Excellency Commander, I'll get the seaplane ready." Lieutenant General Christie said.

Admiral MacArthur still didn't want to die on the battlefield in Australia after all! That's why he ordered the seaplane to get ready. If this is not possible, they can immediately flee by seaplane.

Major General Taylor and Major General Spaz, after receiving the order of General MacArthur, had to bite the bullet and intensify the attack. The attack of several hundred American tanks did put a huge strain on the 16th Armored Brigade of the Imperial Army. At the same time, it also made the 16th Armored Brigade of the Imperial Army pay a great price. However, they still held their positions firmly, so that the Americans could not tear apart the positions of the Imperial Army.

An hour is not too long, but it is not too short. Although the U.S. armored forces are attacking very fiercely, it seems to have no other effect than to add more casualties to themselves.

By the time of the hour, the American armored forces had not been able to tear through the Imperial Army's defenses. At the same time, the losses were further exacerbated. So far, they have lost more than half.

What made the US army even more desperate was that two tank battalions of the 1st Armored Brigade of the Imperial Army and one tank battalion of the 14th Armored Brigade also rushed to the battlefield. More than 200 tanks from three battalions entered the battlefield, which made it even more impossible for the armored units of the US army to turn over.

When Admiral MacArthur heard the news, his face was full of despair.

"Your Excellency, the seaplane is ready. In three hours, it will be dawn and we will be leaving. Otherwise, once discovered by the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Air Force or Navy, we will not be able to leave. Lieutenant General Christie said.

"Okay, let's go." Admiral MacArthur nodded. (To be continued.) )
