"Hell!" Seeing that his artillery suffered heavy losses under the blows of the Chinese Air Force, Major General Witte couldn't help but curse. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt's just that this is just to vent the anger in my heart, and it is useless to change the current unfavorable situation.

The artillery of the United States and Australia lost more than two hundred cannons. Although, compared to the total number of artillery guns possessed by the US-Australian coalition, this loss does not seem to be a small loss, and it is not at all to the point of breaking the bones. But, let's not forget, this battle has only just begun. If the Imperial Air Force launches a few more such air raids, won't the artillery of the US-Australian coalition be completely lost? At that time, the US-Australian coalition forces would have to attack the positions of the Imperial Army without artillery preparation.

"General, the artilleryman asked, did they continue the shelling, or did they hide?" Lieutenant General Witt's adjutant asked.

"If they want to continue shelling, do they still want not a single cannon left to be blown up by the Chinese's planes? Command artillery, all hidden. Although the Chinese planes flew away, the next batch of planes must already be on the way. Lieutenant General Witt said with great certainty.

In fact, as Lieutenant General Witte had predicted, the second wave of aircraft of the Imperial Air Force was indeed on its way. When the first wave of planes returned, it was when the second wave of planes took off, ensuring that the first army could receive uninterrupted support from the Imperial Air Force. In addition, the third wave of the fleet is also ready. When it will take off depends entirely on the needs of the army.

In order to support the 14th Army of the Imperial Army, these aircraft of the Imperial Air Force were concentrated on field airfields less than two hundred kilometers from the battlefield. In the case of F9 fighters, it only takes less than twenty minutes after taking off from the airfield for them to fly to the battlefield to provide support to the Imperial Army. If the U.S. artillery continues to fire, they will be hit again.

"Ordered the 26th Infantry Division, the 27th Infantry Division, the 1st Australian Infantry Division and the 2nd Infantry Division, to attack. The Chinese line of defense was subjected to heavy shelling from us, and their losses were certainly not small. Lieutenant General Witte ordered.

"Yes, General." The adjutant immediately went to give orders.

Soon, four infantry divisions of the US-Australian coalition, nearly 90,000 people, were deployed on the 50-kilometer-long defensive line. In the first wave of their attack, they threw eight regiments and more than 25,000 men on the battlefield. These infantrymen, in sparse formations, attacked the positions of the Imperial Army.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Infantry support firepower such as field artillery and infantry artillery of the U.S. Army began to appear, and these small-caliber artillery guns had no road surface during the previous shelling. However, when it came to supporting the infantry attack, they worked very hard. A large number of artillery shells fell on the positions of the Imperial Army, continuing to attack the Imperial Army's defensive line in an attempt to further destroy the Imperial defense.

However, the artillery bombardment of the American army, this time was also fiercely counterattacked by the Imperial Army, because the small-caliber artillery of the American army was too close to the defense line of the Imperial Army, so that they were suppressed even more. The Imperial Army's 75-mm field guns, and even 120-mm heavy mortars, were added, so that these small-caliber guns of the American army were suppressed in a very short period of time and suffered heavy losses.

"The Americans are on the offensive, get our rocket artillery brigade ready to deliver a covering blow to the American infantry and let them know how good we are." The commander of the group army, Lieutenant General Huang Jianling, personally ordered.

More than 20,000 US infantry were thrown into the 50-kilometer defensive line, which undoubtedly looked a little crowded in some sections. And this just gave the Imperial Army room for intensive firepower.

"Yes, Commander." The adjutant immediately went and gave the order.

A few minutes later, the rocket artillery brigade, which had already been deployed on the front line, was ready for battle. Six battalions of 144 rocket artillery vehicles were deployed on six defensive lines. Under the manipulation of the soldiers, the barrels of the rocket artillery were already lifted upwards.

Having received the command to open the gun, the operator pressed the button for firing. The power was turned on, and the rockets began to whizz out.

"Whew! Shout! Shout! One rocket after another, dragging a long tail flame, roared towards the US position. In just a few seconds, all 16 rockets from a rocket launcher were launched.

Subsequently, the soldiers began to reload for the next launch.

The rocket artillerymen of the Imperial Army easily launched the rocket artillery. However, it was undoubtedly a disaster for the attacking American soldiers. Several U.S. troops, which were more crowded, were hit by dense coverage. Rockets fell from the sky and exploded in the ranks of the American troops. The shrapnel was shooting frantically harvesting the lives of these American soldiers.

When the smoke and flames dissipated, it was clear that the dense queue of American troops had disappeared, replaced by piles of corpses on the ground. Many of the corpses were even torn to pieces in the dense explosion, and the death was very tragic.

"Oh God! So what's going on? How did the Chinese artillery fire suddenly become so fierce? The US generals who were watching the battle in the rear were dumbfounded. In the wave of shelling just now, the US-Australian coalition forces paid at least thousands of casualties, and at least one regiment was killed. And this is just the beginning of the battle. If there are a few more such attacks, then the US-Australian coalition does not know how much it will cost. This battle is even more useless.

The officers and men of the attacking US-Australian coalition forces were even more frightened. No one wants to be hit by such intensive firepower, and under such intensive firepower, there is almost absolutely no way out.

Some timid soldiers of the US-Australian coalition began to retreat. However, under the reprimand of the officers, they had to continue the attack. However, the pace of the offensive was greatly affected.

The firing of rocket artillery can indeed be similar to the shocking scene of 10,000 cannons firing at once. However, it was the mortars and light and heavy machine guns of the Imperial Army that really inflicted huge losses on these US-Australian coalition forces. In defensive operations, they are the real workhorses.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

One shell after another fell, killing the soldiers of the American and Australian coalition forces. The mortar's high rate of fire and high accuracy at the same time play a vivid role in defensive operations. As soon as the crowd of the US-Australian coalition gathered slightly, it would be hit by the mortars of the Imperial Army.

In addition, the machine guns and mortars of the US-Australian coalition forces were also the focus of the Mortars of the Imperial Army. The industrial and economic strength of the United States is very strong, so their troops are equipped with a large number of mortars and machine guns, making them very combative. If you fight against the armies of other countries other than the Chinese* army, you will be able to suppress them with your strong firepower. It is a pity that in the Imperial Army, the U.S. Army could not take advantage of anything at all.

"Da Da Da!" A heavy machine gun of the Imperial Army opened fire frantically at one point of fire, and in half a minute it was a chain of bullets. At least a dozen U.S.-Australian soldiers were killed. Subsequently, the machine gunner immediately carried the heavy machine gun, shifted his position, went to the next firing point, and continued to strafe.

Sure enough, just as they had transferred, in less than a minute, this point of fire was shelled by the United States and Australia and was blown up. If it is transferred a little late, I am afraid it will be destroyed.

Although, the US-Australian coalition has grown a lot in the war. It's no longer like a rookie. However, in front of the Imperial Army, they were still the object of abuse.

"Whew! Shout! Shout! "The 14th Rocket Artillery Brigade of the Imperial Army fired another salvo. More than 100 rocket launchers fired more than 1,000 rockets in a matter of seconds, once again allowing the soldiers of the US-Australian coalition to experience a baptism of shells, leaving corpses all over the place. This made the US-Australian coalition collapse in an instant, and countless soldiers turned around and fled in embarrassment. The artillery and machine guns of the Imperial Army chased these American and Australian coalition forces, leaving them with more corpses.

"Damn it!" Seeing such a situation, Lieutenant General Witte had no choice but to scold. However, he could not blame the soldiers too much. Of course, those soldiers were timid, but if it were someone else, under such a powerful firepower, I am afraid that they would still have to collapse.

"The Chinese's firepower is strong, which is completely beyond our expectations. Our soldiers did not even touch the edge of their positions and collapsed because of heavy losses. The Chinese are another kind of dense artillery that can fire quickly, which is very powerful and can cover a large area. It was under such blows that our troops collapsed. Lieutenant General Werther reported honestly to Admiral MacArthur by telephone. In the attack just now, in less than an hour, they lost tens of thousands of people. Even the eyes of the defeated soldiers who were brought back from the battlefield were full of horror. Clearly, they were scared. It will not be easy for them to take up arms again and go to the battlefield.

"General Werther, the strength of the Chinese, we have long known this. However, you have so many troops in your hands, and your combat effectiveness is not weak. If a breakthrough can be found, it may not be impossible to tear through the defense line of the Chinese. Since the front is not good, let's find a way from both wings. Admiral MacArthur said on the phone.

Suddenly, Lieutenant General Werther's eyes lit up. Indeed, the Chinese * army on frontal defense is not easy to deal with, and the lackeys of the Chinese on both wings should be easy to deal with. (To be continued.) )
