Chapter 1372: Fierce Battle
"Boom! Rumble! "On the positions of the 771st Regiment of the Imperial Army, anti-tank guns continued to fire, smashing American tanks into scrap metal one after another. When the armored units of the American army were getting closer and closer to the positions of the 771st Regiment of the Imperial Army, these anti-tank guns were also able to use the moonlight to carry out accurate strikes against these tanks.www.biquge.info The 75mm anti-tank gun is extremely powerful enough to easily destroy the M1 light tank and M2 medium tank of the American army. Even the M3 light tank and the M3LEE medium tank that were hiding behind would be a one-shot defeat if they were hit.
"Da Da Da!" The machine guns on the positions were also firing frantically, pouring their positions on the US-Australian coalition forces. The soldiers of the American and Australian forces who followed the tank attack were already exposed to the machine gun fire of the Imperial Army after the tank was destroyed, and they were strafed one after another and fell to the ground.
"Hell! How come it has not yet broken through the defense line of the Chinese? "Major General Taylor, commander of the 3rd Armored Division of the US Army, watched the battle from an armored vehicle. Seeing the tanks under his command being blown up one after another, he was undoubtedly very anxious.
"General Taylor, don't worry, our armored forces are about to start storming the Chinese's positions. Their flesh and blood will never be able to resist our torrent of steel. "Major General Spaz, the commander of the 7th Armored Division of the US Army, was very calm. After all, now at the forefront, is the 3rd Armored Division, his 7th Armored Division, shrunk in the back, basically undamaged, which makes it natural for him to say these cool words. In addition, Major General Spaz also confidently believes that the two armored divisions together can easily break through the defense line of the Chinese Army with 780 tanks. Although the armored forces of the Chinese army are powerful, it is now night, and the armored forces of the US army are concentrated and used, which has a numerical advantage, while the armored forces of the Chinese army are scattered and deployed.
"General Spaz, my troops are fighting bloody battles with the Chinese, and you are indeed talking cool things here, it is too immoral." Major General Taylor said with a cold face.
"General Taylor, let the 3rd Panzer Division in front, this is the order of His Excellency the Commander, and I can't say anything more about it." Major General Spartz shrugged his shoulders with an indifferent expression, which is clearly a typical cheap and obedient person.
Major General Taylor simply turned his head away and said no more. At this time, only by tearing through the defense line of the Chinese Army will the 3rd Armored Division of the US Army pay less losses. Although the Imperial Army's counterattack was very sharp, Major General Taylor was confident that the 3rd Armored Division would succeed in tearing through the Imperial Army's defenses. Although the casualties are not small, they are still within an acceptable range.
"Boom!" An M1 light tank of the American army opened fire, and a 37-mm tank gun fired a high-explosive shell. This shell hit an anti-tank gun on the position of the 771st Regiment of the Imperial Army, blowing up the anti-tank gun, and even the anti-tank artillery suffered heavy casualties.
As the U.S. armored forces got closer and closer to the positions of the Imperial Army, the U.S. Army's superiority in strength was brought into full play. This put the 771st Regiment of the Imperial Army on the position under tremendous pressure. Casualties are also on the rise. Although, the M1 light tank and the M2 medium tank of the US army are rubbish. But, after all, this is a tank. It's not something that soldiers can do with their rifles or machine guns. So, as soon as the American tanks stormed the positions of the Imperial Army, the casualties began to rise sharply.
"Da Da Da!" An American M2 tank that rushed into the position of the 771st Regiment of the Imperial Army was firing frantically, armed with several 7.62mm machine guns, and was slaughtering the soldiers of the Imperial Army on the position.
Many Imperial soldiers fell to the ground after being shot, and some were even beaten into a sieve by the dense bullets.
"Boom!" An anti-tank rocket launcher fired, and a single anti-tank rocket accurately hit the tank, blowing it into a pile of scrap metal. Although, many of the Imperial Army's weapons were used to restrain the enemy's armored forces. However, on the one hand, there are too few of them, and the enemy's tanks are too many, and it is difficult to play a deterrent role. On the other hand, fighting at night has affected and limited the combat effectiveness of many weapons and equipment. Therefore, the 771st Regiment of the Imperial Army suffered heavy losses under the attack of the American armored forces.
"Rushed up, great. Order the infantry to speed up and completely destroy the Chinese defensive line. The 3rd U.S. Army Aircraft fell in love with the division commander, Major General Taylor, with an excited face. limit, their losses are not very large, if they can destroy the defense line of the Chinese army in this way, it is undoubtedly very cost-effective. At least, in terms of overall losses, within the limits of what he can accept.
At the regimental headquarters of the 771st Regiment of the Imperial Army, the colonel commander was in a hurry. The U.S. military actually dispatched a large number of armored troops to attack the positions of their regiment, which made him very depressed. Although the 771st Regiment had a lot of anti-tank weapons and equipment, it was only an infantry regiment after all. Trying to rely on an infantry regiment to withstand the onslaught of hundreds of enemy tanks seems like a fantasy no matter how you look at it.
"What about our armored forces? When will I be able to arrive? If we don't come, our positions will be torn apart by the Americans. The colonel asked with red eyes. The three battalions stationed on the front line had already suffered heavy losses under the attack of the American armored forces. Even many of the positions were overwhelmed by the Americans' strong armor. It can be said that the 771st Regiment has been completely crippled after tonight's battle, and if you want to regain your combat effectiveness, I am afraid you will need to rest for a long time.
"Commander, reinforcements from the 16th Armored Brigade are on their way again. One of the closest tank battalions to us will be able to rush to the battlefield in ten minutes at most. A communications officer reported to the colonel.
"Ten minutes, you only need to hold on for another ten minutes, so that the brothers must resist it!" The colonel commanded.
Not far from the 771st Regiment, more than 70 'Leopard 2' tanks of the 2nd Tank Battalion of the 16th Armored Brigade of the Imperial Army were rushing to the battlefield. Because of the short distance, the sound of gunfire on the battlefield can already be clearly heard in their ears. Thinking that their comrades in front of them were fighting bloody battles with the enemy, they had to speed up their journey.
"Boom!" The tracks of an American M2 medium tank crushed the position of the 771st Regiment of the Imperial Army, and the 37mm tank gun opened fire, destroying a heavy machine gun fire point of the Imperial Army in one shot.
"Haha! We took out another heavy machine gun of the Chinese, these damn yellow-skinned monkeys, relying on the advantage of armor performance before, beat us very embarrassed. Now, finally, it's our turn to teach them a hard lesson. The commander said with a smile.
Indeed, since the start of the war, the armored forces of the US army have been pushed by the armored forces of the imperial army, and almost every battle has ended in a great victory for the imperial army, which has made the soldiers of the US armored forces hold a fire in their hearts. Now, I can finally vent my anger on the soldiers of the Imperial Army.
"Andrew, don't stop, just rush me. With our tracks, crush those Chinese. The commander commanded.
"Yes, sir." The driver replied.
An Imperial soldier who didn't have time to dodge was directly crushed by the tank. The tracks of the tank, crushed on his body, directly crushed him to pieces.
"Bastards, damn Americans." Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the Imperial Army gritted their teeth angrily.
"Dodge, the Americans' machine guns turned." A veteran reminded. So, a group of soldiers of the Imperial Army hurriedly took refuge.
"Da Da Da!" The machine guns on the tanks of the American army began to roar again.
More and more American tanks rushed to the positions of the Imperial Army, and in front of these tanks, the soldiers of the Imperial Army were unarmed and indistinguishable, so much so that the 771st Regiment of the Imperial Army suffered heavy losses under the attack of the American armored forces. If reinforcements hadn't arrived in time, perhaps the 771st Regiment would have become the first infantry regiment in the history of the Imperial Army to be eliminated as an infantry.
It's just that the U.S. military will not have this opportunity when it gets trapped. While the American armored units were wreaking havoc on the positions of the 771st Regiment of the Imperial Army, the 2nd Battalion of the 16th Armored Brigade of the Imperial Army finally arrived on the battlefield.
Although, it's night. But the moonlight was bright. So, the tanks of the Imperial Army were able to aim at the tanks of the American army at a distance of several hundred meters.
"Boom!" A Leopard 2 tank fired.
In the next second, an M2 medium tank of the US army was blown up and became a raging fireball.
Immediately afterwards, more and more U.S. tanks were hit, whether it was an M1 light tank or an M2 medium tank, which was no match for the Imperial Army's 'Leopard 2' tank, and was blown up one after another, becoming a burning scrap metal.
"Bastards, the armored forces of the Chinese are coming." The armored units of the US troops on the position, after seeing such a situation, naturally knew what was happening. Don't look at them in front of the Imperial infantry, they are very arrogant and arrogant. However, in front of the armored forces of the Imperial Army, they were like mice meeting cats. Because they knew that the armored forces of the Imperial Army could easily knock them out.
"General Spartz, the armored forces of the Chinese have arrived, what about your armored units? Go and exchange fire with the Chinese armored forces! Major General Taylor, commander of the 3rd Armored Division of the US Army, jumped to his feet and said.
"Rest assured, General Taylor, my troops will be in battle at once." Major General Spartz said. (To be continued.) )
