On the San Carlos front, the field artillery brigade of the 42nd Infantry Division of the US Army is firing heavily. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe field artillery brigade has a 155-mm heavy howitzer regiment equipped with 24 155-mm heavy howitzers and two 105-mm light howitzer regiments, each equipped with 24 105-mm light howitzers, with a total of more than 4,000 people. Compared with the Imperial Army, it was actually just the establishment of an artillery regiment.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The heavy artillery of the American army continued to fire, orange flames flashed in the muzzle, and shells whistled towards the positions of the 61st and 62nd Regiments of the Imperial Marine Corps. San Carlos was the defense area of the 6th Marine Division of the Imperial Corps, where two main regiments and an artillery regiment were deployed.

U.S. artillery shells continued to explode on the positions of the Imperial Marines, leaving craters one after another. The positions built by the Imperial Marines were also destroyed a lot under the shelling of the American army. In particular, some fixed firing points were blown into the sky.

"Dogs, these Americans are still endless? And what about our artillery? Why not fire? Can't we just watch us get bombed? And what about our naval carrier-based aircraft? Quite a few of them, aren't they? Why not take out the artillery positions of the Americans? A young Marine muttered quietly.

"Shut up Lao Tzu, when will the artillery fire, when will the carrier-based aircraft attack, but it's not up to you, a first-class soldier, to decide, you better hide in the trench for me." The squad leader scolded. Although, he also did not know why their artillery did not fire, and neither the battleships nor the carrier-based aircraft on the sea attacked. However, he knew that he must be waiting for the moment.

In fact, it is true, the 6th Artillery Regiment of the Marine Corps, 24 155-mm heavy howitzers, 72 105-mm light howitzers are already on standby. On the sea, the ten battleships of the 6th Battleship Detachment and the 7th Battleship Detachment of the Imperial Navy had also crossed the hull, and the huge main guns had been raised high, ready to launch a fierce artillery bombardment at any time. Farther away, on the Imperial Navy's aircraft carriers 'Changbaishan' and 'Culai Mountain', the flight decks were already full of carrier-based aircraft, which had already been filled with fuel and ammunition, and as long as the order was given, they could take off for battle. It's just that they're still waiting for their time.

On the dock in Dagupan, hoisting equipment lifted tanks and self-propelled guns from transport ships. In this attack, they will form the sharpest offensive arrows together with the 76th Infantry Division of the Imperial Army, tear through the defense line of the US-Filipino forces in one fell swoop, go around their backs, and encircle all 100,000 US-Filipino troops here, annihilating them in one fell swoop.

"Yes, let the artillerymen not be stingy with shells, give me a hard beating, and let those yellow-skinned monkeys know how good we are." Major General George put down the binoculars in his hand and ordered to the adjutant beside him. Even though the US troops stationed in the Philippines no longer have domestic supplies, they have stored a large amount of ammunition here in advance, and they will not be bothered by the shortage of weapons and ammunition in a short period of time. This allows the US military to give full play to its firepower superiority on the battlefield. This, and the Imperial Army is also very imaginary. Problems that can be solved with artillery shells will definitely not allow the soldiers to take risks. Although the shells are not cheap, the lives of the soldiers are more precious. The shells are finished and can be rebuilt, but the soldiers are killed, but there is no way to recover them.

"Yes, General." The adjutant saluted and went to deliver the order.

Perhaps under the orders of Major General George, the Field Artillery Brigade of the 42nd Infantry Division of the US Army fought more vigorously, and they desperately threw more shells on the defensive line of the 6th Division of the Imperial Marine Corps, threatening to kill all the marines on the defensive line.

The artillery preparations of the US troops lasted for more than half an hour. When the positions of the Imperial Marines were already in shambles, the American shelling stopped. Subsequently, Major General George gave the order to attack. A regiment of American troops, under the cover of a dozen M2 medium tanks, launched an attack on the positions of the Imperial Marines.

The U.S. M2 medium tank, weighing 17 tons, has a front armor thickness of 25 mm, is armed with one 37 mm tank gun and six 7.62 mm machine guns, and has a crew of 6.

More than a dozen M2 medium tanks rumbled towards the positions of the Imperial Marines, and large groups of American infantry followed behind these tanks. Tanks have shown unparalleled combat effectiveness on the European battlefield, so the Americans also attach great importance to tanks. It's just that the performance of their tanks is really a bit bad. The armor was as thin as a piece of paper, and the power of the 37mm tank gun was too weak to deal with the main tanks of tank powers such as China and Germany. Of course, the Americans have a strange positioning of tanks, and most of their tanks are used to support infantry. Although the 37-mm tank gun was not very powerful, it was enough to deal with machine-gun pillboxes and firing points. Up to eight 7.62 mm machine guns are particularly lethal against soft targets that lack armor protection. If they encounter a powerful enemy tank, they will call in a specialized tank destroyer to deal with it. It's just that where on the battlefield will they be given so much time to react? By the time their tank destroyers arrived, their tanks would have been smashed into a pile of scrap metal. Therefore, the tanks of China and Germany are not classified in a similar way, and they will fight tanks when they encounter enemy tanks, and they will fight infantry when they encounter local infantry.

"Quick! The Americans came up. Heavy machine guns and squads were prepared with machine guns to strafe the American infantry behind the tanks. Anti-tank guns are ready, knock out the tanks of the Americans. "The commander of the front ordered.

On the position, a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun has been erected, and they will form a crossfire with the 7.62 mm squad machine gun to strangle the infantry following the American tank. The long 75mm anti-tank gun also came out of the barrel, but for these powerful 75mm anti-tank guns, it seems that it is too big to use against such a thin-skinned tank of the US army.

In addition to these anti-tank guns, several groups of anti-tank bazookas, dug in front of the line, were ready. Once the U.S. tanks are in range, they will take out the opposing side.

"Boom! Rumble! "The U.S. Army's M2 medium tank stopped and fired as it advanced, and it looked like it was showing off its might. The American soldiers who followed the tank were cautious at first, but after following the tank for several hundred meters and finding that there was no reaction from the positions of the Chinese marines, they became bold one by one, and no one obeyed the tactical moves that should be made.

"God forbid! Those yellow-skinned monkeys won't be blown up by our cannons, will they? If that's the case, it couldn't be better. An American soldier had a relaxed smile on his face.

"I heard that the Chinese are still fighting with big knives and spears, and I can't believe that they actually fought a world power with such weapons." And the American soldier said.

"Haha, listen to my father, the Chinese all have a long pig tail dragging behind their heads, and that is their weakness. As long as they grab their pig tail, the Chinese will give in and beg for mercy. A freckled U.S. soldier said with a smile.

These words drew laughter from the American soldiers.

Obviously, under the deliberate guidance of various governments, the Chinese Empire was a barbaric, backward and ignorant country in the minds of the people of all countries. Many people's perception of the Chinese Empire is still a few decades ago. Therefore, they despise the Chinese Empire from the bottom of their hearts and despise the Chinese Empire. Of course, this kind of thinking inevitably affected the American * military. Perhaps those generals and high-ranking officers were well aware of the true strength of the Chinese Empire. However, those ordinary soldiers didn't think so at all.

"Ready, fire." When the American troops were already less than two hundred meters from the line of defense of the Imperial Marines, the commander of the front gave the order to open fire.

"Boom! Rumble! "An anti-tank gun, fire first.

The armor-piercing projectile flew towards the US tank at an extremely high muzzle velocity and hit the US tank in less than half a second. The M2 medium tank had only 25 mm thick front armor, which was obviously impossible to withstand a 75 mm anti-tank gun at a distance of two hundred meters. As a result, the U.S. military's M2 medium tanks were exploded one after another and burst into flames, becoming fireballs one after another.

In a way, the tank was originally an ammunition depot covered with heavy armor. Inside, there were piles of shells and machine-gun bullets everywhere, in addition to a large amount of fuel. Once the armor is torn apart, the ammunition and fuel inside are very likely to explode and burn, which is undoubtedly tragic for the tank crews inside.

"Ahh A U.S. tank soldier with a burning body came out of the burning tank, let out a heart-rending scream, and rolled on the ground in an attempt to extinguish the fire on his body. However, this is simply not possible. After rolling a few laps, there was no more sound, and it turned into a pile of coke.

The American soldiers who followed behind the tank were all stunned, as if they couldn't believe it, how could everything be different in the blink of an eye.

"Da Da Da!" The light and heavy machine guns on the positions of the Imperial Marines also began to roar, and the dense bullets were like pouring rain towards the American troops, as if they were cutting wheat, and rows of American soldiers were knocked to the ground and their lives were harvested. The Imperial Marines are using death to teach Americans how to behave, letting them know that the current empire is completely different from the empire they know. (To be continued.) )
