After the Fuso Army eliminated two Australian infantry divisions, the Imperial Army's 76th Infantry Division and five Fuso Infantry Divisions immediately launched an attack on the main position of Daliwaters, where the two American infantry divisions were entrenched. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The Imperial Army and the Fuso Army invested more than 20,000 men in the first wave of the attack, under the cover of artillery and tanks, to storm the positions of the American troops.

Although, the combat effectiveness of the US army is much stronger than that of the Australian army. But the two U.S. infantry divisions that retreated to Daley Waters had already suffered heavy losses, and the embarrassment of the retreat over the past few days made them even more tired. After witnessing two Australian infantry divisions being wiped out in less than a day, morale was even lower. In such a situation, it is very difficult to say how much combat effectiveness they can exert.

On December 21, the Imperial Army and the Fuso Army took the outlying positions of Dali Waters, and at the same time attacked the city and strangled the American army. It's just that one side is like a rainbow, but the other side has low morale, and the US army has been completely defeated and retreated.

"It's Christmas coming up, and I really hope to be able to go home and spend the holidays with my parents." A young American soldier crouched in the trench and muttered. Although they responded to the government's call and joined the army. However, after seeing the bloodshed and cruelty of the front-line battlefield, many people have already regretted it a little. If they hadn't joined the military, it would have been time to prepare for Christmas with their families.

"Hey, boy, it's useless to think about that. If you want to return to the United States alive, you must first make sure that you can survive. Otherwise, you will only be your ashes when you return to the United States. A veteran said.

"Damn, why are we here to fight? We're Americans, and this is Australia. We don't have to die for the sake of Australians. An American soldier said suddenly.

Indeed, many U.S. soldiers are very incomprehensible about fighting in Australia, and if the Chinese Empire invades the United States, they may take up arms to defend their homeland. But now it's Australia! These little soldiers will not understand the role of defending Australia and fighting the Chinese Empire here for the United States. All they know is that they are in a foreign land far from the United States, and they are being slaughtered by the mighty armies of the Chinese Empire. Originally, there was no need for them to come here. It's all those damned politicians who lied to them.

"No, I don't want to die, I'm going back. My daughter is only two years old, and I must go back to see him alive. An American soldier yelled, then rolled over and crawled out of the trench, raised his hands and shouted, "I surrender, don't kill me!" ”

However, many of the Fuso soldiers and Chinese soldiers fighting on the front line simply did not understand what he was shouting. When they found an American soldier rushing out of a trench, their knee-jerk reaction was to pull the trigger.

"Bang bang bang!" Shots rang out, and the American soldier was instantly beaten into a sieve. Blood spurted from the bullet holes on his body, staining his dusty and mud-stained uniform. Then he fell headlong to the ground, and his eyes gradually lost their sparkle. However, his lips were still twitching slightly, and if he came closer, he could be heard saying, "I want to go home!" ”

"Oh God!" The US soldiers who saw this scene were all stunned, and many of them were even more heartbroken because of this, and some people who were not determined even cried. Obviously, they all knew that this time they were really going to die in a foreign country, unable to return to the United States, unable to see their families. This is undoubtedly unacceptable to these young American soldiers.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! After resting for an hour, the artillery of the Imperial Army opened fire on the positions of the Americans again, and the dense shells whistled and smashed into the positions of the Americans, and from time to time stumps and severed arms were blown up. The American soldiers were suffering under the heavy shelling of the Imperial Army.

"General Kut, our losses are very large and our morale is low. The surrender to the Chinese has already been made. The current situation is very unfavorable for us. Major General Erwin said. He knew that for them, they were about to face a defeat. The offensive of the Chinese Army and the Fuso Army is becoming more and more fierce, and their casualties are increasing. When all positions fell, it was time for them to lose.

"The 24th Infantry Division and the Australian 14th Infantry Division are only two days away. When they arrive, let them pick us up and evacuate Daliwaters. The advantage of the Chinese is too obvious, and here we simply cannot beat them. Major General Kute said.

Although, Admiral MacArthur's order was to let them hold out for half a month. But now it's only been two days, and they can't hold it anymore and can only retreat. Even if he disobeyed Admiral MacArthur's orders, there was no way to do it.

"Do you want to hold on for two more days? I don't know if we'll be able to hold on. Major General Erwin said.

When the U.S. Army was struggling to send reinforcements, they didn't know that their reinforcements had been targeted by the Imperial Army.

Fifty kilometers north of Daliwaters, the headquarters of the 16th Army of the Imperial Army had been set up here. Accompanying the command south were the Army's 77th Infantry Division, 16th Armored Brigade, 16th Self-Propelled Howitzer Brigade and 16th Rocket Artillery Brigade. In addition, there were two Annam infantry divisions. The rest of the troops were still on their way.

"Commander, General Shi's attack on Dali Waters is very smooth, and it is expected that in two more days, they will be able to take Dali Waters." A staff officer reported to Lieutenant General Zhu Yi.

"Well, they're playing well. pursued all the way and killed nearly 90,000 U.S. and Australian allied forces. If there were a few more victories like this, the Australian campaign would have been over. Lieutenant General Zhu Yi said with a smile.

What really pleased him was that the Imperial Army had destroyed many enemies, but its own casualties were not large. Although the casualties of the Fuso Army were not small, this did not concern him. The people of Fuso, if they die, they are dead. There are still a large number of Fuso people waiting to join the army and serve the empire. The Fuso Army, which had suffered heavy losses, could easily be replenished.

"Is there any update on the US-Australia coalition?" Lieutenant General Zhu Yi asked.

"General, there is an intelligence that about fifty kilometers southeast of Daley Waters, an American and Australian coalition of more than 40,000 people has been found. Their destination seems to be none other than Daley Waters. The staff officer said.

"Oh? At this time, do they still want to send reinforcements to Daley Waters? Since they are going to send it to the door themselves, then we can't be polite to them. Send a telegram to General Shi Enshu and tell them to slow down the attack on Daliwaters, and we will get rid of the reinforcements sent to us first. General Zhu Yi immediately set up a battle plan to encircle the point and send reinforcements.

"Yes, Commander." The staff officer saluted and immediately went to make arrangements.

Immediately, the 77th Infantry Division, the 16th Armored Brigade, the 16th Self-Propelled Howitzer Brigade and the 16th Rocket Artillery Brigade of the Imperial Army, as well as two infantry divisions of the Annam Army, immediately changed the route of the march, and after shaking off Daliwaters, they attacked the positions of the 24th Infantry Division of the US Army and the 14th Infantry Division of the Australian Army.

After receiving the order, Major General Shi Enshu, who was storming Daliwaters, immediately realized Lieutenant General Zhu Yi's plan. Originally, he also wanted to wait for them to take Daley Waters before attacking reinforcements from two infantry divisions of the United States and Australia. But since the command of the army group took a fancy to it, he had to give up.

As a result, the Imperial Army and the Fuso Army reduced the intensity of their attacks on Dali Waters, which greatly surprised the American troops stationed in Dali Waters, and they were a little puzzled why the Chinese Empire reduced the intensity of its attacks when it saw that it was about to win. Is it because of the heavy losses that make it impossible to launch another large-scale offensive, or is there some other conspiracy?

On December 23, the day before Christmas Eve, the 77th Infantry Division of the Imperial Army and two infantry divisions of the Annam Army intercepted the path of the American advance at a distance of one kilometer southeast of Daleywaters.

The U.S. 24th Infantry Division and the Australian 14th Infantry Division realized that their road to Daley Waters had been blocked. Not only that, but the army of the Chinese Empire seems to be menacing, and there are signs of swallowing them all in one bite.

The commander of the 24th Infantry Division of the US Army hesitated whether to retreat or continue to advance and fight the Chinese* army here. After some consideration, he ordered the U.S. 24th Infantry Division and the Australian 14th Infantry Division to be stationed on the spot. Then send a telegram to the American troops in Daley Waters, telling them to break through to the southeast, and they will be responsible for receiving them.

At this time, the 22nd Infantry Division and the 23rd Infantry Division of the US Army, which were stationed in Daliwaters, only then did they know what had happened. Major General Coote and Major General Erwin also figured out that the reason why the Chinese Army reduced its attack was simply to deal with their reinforcements!

Major General Coote and others immediately sent a telegram to the 24th Infantry Division of the US Army, asking them to retreat quickly. The main forces of the Chinese* army have already rushed towards them, and if it is too late, I am afraid that there will be only one way to be surrounded and annihilated.

The commander of the 24th Infantry Division of the US Army was shocked and ordered the troops to retreat immediately. However, it is already too late. The Imperial Army has completed its preparations. The Imperial Army's 77th Infantry Division and the 16th Armored Brigade attacked them head-on, while the two Annam Infantry Divisions were responsible for blocking their rear.

On the afternoon of December 23, the Imperial Army launched an attack on the 24th Infantry Division of the United States Army and the 14th Infantry Division of the Australian Army. (To be continued.) )
