On the artillery position of the US army, a large number of artillery had already entered the position, and after receiving the order to open the artillery, the gunners skillfully pushed the shells into the barrel of the gun, and then opened fire. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Thousands of artillery pieces of more than 100 mm caliber of the US and Australian coalition began to roar, and the artillery of both sides launched a fierce artillery battle. However, limited by the firing range, the huge number of artillery of the US-Australian coalition forces, except for those 155-mm heavy howitzers, could not reach the artillery positions of the Imperial Army at all. Of course, if they moved the artillery positions forward, they would be able to reach them. However, in that case, the artillery of the Imperial Army will be able to hit their artillery positions more easily.

"Ordered the 1st Self-Propelled Howitzer Brigade, focusing on suppressing the artillery of the Americans. The positions of the Americans, handed over to other artillerymen. Major General Sun Fumin ordered. At the same time, he constantly looked at the sky to the northeast, and the fighters of the Imperial Air Force were already on their way. When these fighters appeared, it was the time when the artillery of the US-Australian coalition was unlucky.

"Yes, General." The adjutant immediately went to convey the order. The artillery of the Imperial Army, began targeted shelling. The 210mm self-propelled howitzer was designed to suppress the artillery of the United States and Australia, while the other artillery continued to fire at the American and Australian lines, destroying them as much as possible, so that the Imperial Army would be under less pressure when launching the next offensive.

"Boom! Rumble! "Six 210-mm self-propelled howitzers of a self-propelled howitzer company adjusted the targets of the shelling according to the coordinates calculated from the ballistics of the American shells, and then began firing at an artillery position of the United States and Australia.

Six 210-mm howitzers, with a rate of fire of two rounds per minute, rained shells on the artillery positions of the US-Australian coalition. In just three minutes, this artillery position of the American army was hit hard, and at least four 210-mm shells hit this artillery position. The 210-mm shells were so powerful that several huge craters were distributed over this artillery position, destroying the entire artillery position. The 12 105-mm howitzers on this artillery position were basically destroyed. One cannon staggered, many cannons; Even the barrel was twisted, as if it were twisted.

After destroying this artillery position, the heavy artillery units of the Imperial Army began to continue to shift their targets, launching artillery strikes on other artillery positions of the US-Australian coalition. The more artillery positions they destroyed, the more artillery they destroyed and the more artillery they killed, the greater the advantage the Imperial Army would be able to occupy in this artillery battle.

Lieutenant General Short hid inside the fortified underground headquarters, watching the battlefield through his binoculars through an observation port. Seeing that his position was completely covered by artillery fire, his face was very ugly. In particular, the smoke of gunpowder rising from time to time on his own artillery positions made him very angry. Because this means that they don't know how many cannons have been destroyed.

"Bastard! How can the artillery of the Chinese be so strong? Lieutenant General Schott couldn't help but ask himself. In order to be able to confront the Chinese Army, the U.S. Army has been constantly strengthening its own strength. To this end, they have equipped the US infantry division with 24 155mm howitzers and 48 105mm howitzers, which is only 24 105mm howitzers less than one infantry division of the Chinese Army. This kind of strength, even in the world, is already very strong. It's a pity that in the face of the Chinese Army, they still don't have the slightest chance of winning.

Artillery battles between the Imperial Army and the US-Australian coalition often ended in the victory of the Imperial Army. The U.S. and Australian forces were rarely able to destroy the artillery positions of the Imperial Army, and their artillery positions were constantly destroyed by the Imperial Army's 210mm self-propelled howitzers.

"Whew! Shout! Shout! After the first round of firing, the 144 rocket launchers of the 1st Rocket Artillery Brigade of the Imperial Army began firing again, and in just a few seconds, more than 2,500 rockets flew towards the positions of the United States and Australia. Another two-kilometer-long defense line was covered, and under the attack of intensive rocket artillery, this two-kilometer defense line was completely destroyed, and the US-Australian coalition troops stationed on this defense line suffered heavy losses.

Lieutenant General Short watched all this with a dark face, and he knew that these defense lines that were being hit by the key blows would definitely be fiercely attacked by the Imperial Army. He could almost imagine how these badly destroyed positions could withstand the attack of the Imperial Army.

"Damn the Chinese, how can they be equipped with so many powerful weapons?" Lieutenant General Short couldn't help but scold.

By now, the entire U.S. military already knows that the Chinese Army is equipped with a weapon that can shoot intensively. It's just that they haven't figured out the principle of this weapon yet, let alone imitated it.

After the third round of firing from the 1st Rocket Artillery Brigade of the Imperial Army, the fighters of the Imperial Air Force appeared. Thirty-six F9 fighters, escorting 12 dive bombers and 12 ground attack aircraft, appeared in the sky. These F9 fighters also have small bombs hanging on their wings. Because the U.S. Army Air Force has been completely disabled, the entire sky is under the control of the Imperial Air Force. Therefore, these fighters can also hang a little bomb and carry out a ground strike mission.

"Airplanes, planes for the Chinese. Anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns are ready! On the artillery positions of the US-Australian coalition forces, the shouts of the officers came to mind. You don't have to think about it to know that the target of the fighters of the Chinese Air Force must be their artillery.

Countless anti-aircraft soldiers rushed to the crazy artillery positions, one by one anti-aircraft guns, one by one anti-aircraft machine guns, all pointed at the sky, ready to intercept the fighters of the Imperial Air Force and protect these artillery positions.

The F9 fighters attacked first, and with their speed advantage, they swept past the artillery positions of the American and Australian coalition forces, dropping 25 kg bomblets under the wings. Subsequently, they began to use their powerful maneuverability to suppress the anti-aircraft fire of the US-Australian coalition forces and create favorable conditions for the offensive of dive bombers and ground attack aircraft.

"Da-da-da-da." Two 12.78mm aviation machine guns on the wings fired wildly, strafing the anti-aircraft gun emplacements of the US-Australian coalition. When the anti-aircraft artillery positions were suppressed over the years, dive bombers and ground attack planes in the sky immediately launched an attack.

"Woo!" With a piercing whistling sound, these dive bombers dropped aerial bombs. Because it was an artillery position against the United States and Australia, these dive bombers carried 500 kg of aerial bombs. If one aerial bomb goes down, almost half of the artillery position will be destroyed. With a bit of luck, a dive bomber could destroy an artillery position of the US-Australian coalition.

The attacks of ground attack aircraft are more intensive, and with the help of machine guns and bombs, they can easily destroy the artillery positions of the United States and Australia.

Watching an artillery position with one of them destroyed, Lieutenant General Short's heart was almost as if he was dripping blood. Despite the fact that the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns of the American army were constantly firing. However, because the current anti-aircraft guns do not use VT fuses, it is not so easy to hit an aircraft. In addition, the suppression of the fighters of the Imperial Air Force caused the air defense losses of the US-Australian coalition forces to be not small.

In this round of air raids, the Imperial Air Force destroyed more than a dozen artillery positions of the US-Australian coalition at the cost of one dive bomber, two ground attack planes, and two fighters, and more than 100 artillery pieces were blown up, and countless artillery pieces were killed. Moreover, this is only the first round of air raids, when the first wave of fighters finished dropping bombs and left, the second wave of fighters is not far from the battlefield.

The artillery bombardment of the Imperial Army lasted for half an hour. Subsequently, the 210-mm self-propelled howitzers and 155-mm heavy howitzers of the Imperial Army continued to shell the artillery positions of the US-Australian coalition. And the rest of the rocket artillery and 105-mm light howitzers, the shelling stopped. The defense line of the US-Australian coalition has been destroyed, and naturally there is no need to waste shells.

"Order the troops, attack!" Major General Sun Fumin put down the binoculars and ordered.

The 1st Infantry Division, 16th Infantry Division, 31st Infantry Division, 6th Infantry Division, 7th Infantry Division, 8th Infantry Division of the Fuso Army, 7th Infantry Division and 8th Infantry Division of the Annam Army, launched an offensive. These eight infantry divisions chose eight positions to attack, and the attack points were distributed along a defense line of more than 100 kilometers. The defensive line previously covered by the 1st Rocket Artillery Brigade of the Imperial Army became the focus of these troops' attacks. Because those sections of the defense line of the US-Australian coalition have been basically destroyed.

The infantrymen rushed out of their starting positions and attacked the positions of the American and Australian forces. Mortar and heavy machine gun groups also followed behind the infantry to attack. They will provide more direct fire support to the infantry when it is suppressed.

"Quick, if you don't die, you will enter the position, and the Chinese will attack." The officers of the US-Australian coalition urged.

Those American officers who were lucky enough not to be killed in the shelling began to move into positions and prepare to defend themselves against the attack of the Imperial Army.

On a 100-kilometer-long defensive line, the US-Australian coalition deployed ten infantry divisions on the front line. Among them, the U.S. Army has three infantry divisions, and the Australian Army has deployed seven infantry divisions on the front line. The remaining five infantry divisions, as well as the 8th Panzer Division, served as reserves.

"Da Da Da! Bang! Bang! Bang! "On the positions of the US-Australian coalition. A large number of light and heavy machine guns and rifles began to fire. Although the artillery of the Imperial Army launched a heavy artillery attack on the American and Australian lines, not all machine-gun fire points were destroyed. There are still many fire points that have survived. And now, these firing points are beginning to fire. (To be continued.) )
