Chapter 1055 The Art of War

When the sun rose, Chinese planes appeared in the sky, and the shells and machine guns on the planes spewed tongues of fire at the U.S. troops, breaking up the U.S. attack.At dawn, several tanks rushed straight from several directions to the place with the most American soldiers. Their offensive was so fierce that the American troops were helpless, and they were forced to retreat one after another. The attack of the 98th Infantry Division was repelled. .

The U.S. 98th Infantry Division under the command of Admiral Stilwell was forced to retreat back to its position. Countless corpses of U.S. soldiers were left on the Long Army's position. When the breeze blew, the air was filled with the smell of blood.

"It doesn't seem right?" Jiang Song, the commander of the 38th brigade, put down the binoculars and said, "These Americans have taken the wrong medicine or something, why do they charge upwards with screams as soon as they come up? But their purpose seems to be It doesn't seem like you want to occupy our position?"

Luo Lie frowned into the word "Chuan", and he clearly felt that there was something wrong with it.In his view, these American troops are very inadequately prepared for defense, and also have a lot of blindness in attack, and even the formation of the attack is very scattered.

"How is the reconnaissance situation in the Air Force?" Luo Lie turned around and asked.

Jiang Song took out a telegram and said: "Aerial reconnaissance shows that a large number of US armored vehicles and infantry are gathering at the front line of the Grand Canyon. It is not clear whether the US military is preparing to reinforce the Jiadi Bridge or is trying to start a decisive battle with our army in the Grand Canyon."

Luo Lie's eyes lit up, and he said: "Send a report to Commander-in-Chief Jiang that the No.13 Mechanized Division of the Sixth Army of the Longwei Army was counterattacked by the enemy at Kadi Bridge. Prevent our army from advancing, and buy time for the Grand Canyon troops to deploy their defenses. I suggest that the planes intensively bomb the Grand Canyon U.S. positions to disrupt the deployment of the U.S. troops. The [-]th Division will build a defense line at the Kadi Bridge and stand by!"

The call back from the headquarters arrived soon, and he agreed with Lie Lie's judgment, but he had his own views on the combat method. Cheng instructed in the telegram: "I have read the call an hour ago, and the judgment is completely correct. At this time, it is time to annihilate the U.S. military." During the best period of armored power, I now order your troops to stand firm and not to bomb the front line of the Grand Canyon. The headquarters believes that the US military will launch an unprecedented attack today and tomorrow. Your troops should make the most difficult preparations. This message, Jiang Zhongzheng."

In the history of the Dragon Army's battles, the Thirteenth Division has experienced the most vicious battles and bloody battles since the day it was formed, and its casualties are far and away the highest among all troops. this.On the afternoon of the day when Luo Lie received the order, thick clouds billowed over Kadi Bridge, a heavy rainstorm was coming, and there were bursts of thunder in the sky. On the ground, the Chinese artillery then launched a counterattack.The torrential rain fell, and the U.S. officers and soldiers jumped out of the position with shining bayonets in the torrential rain, shouted slogans, and rushed towards the Chinese position one after another.

The light and heavy machine gunners on the Chinese positions fired a large number of dense bullets, and the artillery also shelled frantically.The shells rained down on the crowd of American troops, and the American soldiers suffered heavy casualties for a while, but these American soldiers seemed to be crazy, not afraid at all, and followed the commander to continue to charge forward. The soldiers continued to charge.

Facing the group charge of the U.S. military, the Chinese army continuously fired flares, illuminating the U.S. military clearly.The power of the machine guns and cannons of the Chinese army has been brought into full play, and almost every machine gun bullet can hit American soldiers.

Colonel Stilwell was still determined to order his troops to launch group charges again and again. The U.S. troops passed through the gaps in the barbed wire, stepped on the corpses on the ground, and rushed upwards against the hail of bullets.Some Dragon Army soldiers jumped out of the trenches, holding the light machine guns and submachine guns in their hands and strafing violently, the dense bullets poured on the group of desperadoes opposite them like a rainstorm.Thousands of U.S. troops rushed up, some positions were breached, and the positions quickly turned into hand-to-hand combat.In the storm, the two sides fought with bayonets, command knives, grenades, butts and even teeth. The two sides fought so hard that the artillery on both sides stopped firing temporarily.The follow-up troops of the U.S. military rushed to the front line continuously. At this time, all the reserve troops of the Chinese army also participated in the battle.

The Dragon Army is well-equipped, the soldiers are well-trained, and have rich combat experience. Over time, the U.S. troops gradually became unable to resist. They rushed up like a tide, and soon retreated out of the position like a tide.

Facing such a situation, Colonel Stilwell was heartbroken. He watched his soldiers die, and watched his subordinates being shot like massacres by the Chinese.Colonel Patton in the rear was gathering troops, and his task was to hold the Chinese army firmly for at least three days. However, according to the development of this situation, the Chinese might be able to destroy their positions with just one charge.

"Colonel, we can't fight like this any longer!" A staff officer said almost tearfully, "The superiority of Chinese weapons is too obvious, and their soldiers' combat experience far surpasses ours. Massacre, this is simply a massacre! I Please immediately order the soldiers to stop attacking and start defending on the spot, this will greatly reduce our casualties!"

General Stilwell seemed to have aged several years during the more than one day of fighting. He said wearily, "Do you think we can withstand the powerful firepower of the dragon army from the sky and the ground just by holding on? It may be possible to do so." In just a few hours, our position will be fully breached! Only when we are entangled with the Chinese, their cannons will not dare to fire so frantically. Sir, I am also a soldier, and I can't bear to see one of our soldiers One fell down. But I am an American, I must be responsible for my country, only after paying a great sacrifice, can I stop the advance of the dragon army and buy enough time for our army to deploy. I Don't want to argue with you, if I am wrong, then after the war, the military court will judge me for all crimes. Now I am the highest military officer here, and what I say means everything, carry out the order! "

During this day, the 98th Infantry Division of the U.S. Army launched more than a dozen group charges, but each time it was successfully repelled by the [-]th Division of the Long Army, and countless corpses were dropped on the position.Colonel Stilwell didn't expect to achieve such brilliant results. His goal was to drag the Chinese here firmly and buy time for Colonel Patton's final battle.

However, Long Jun, who had seen through the US military's attempt, was not in a hurry to attack, but played a game of cat and mouse with Stilwell very patiently.

On June 6th, Luo Lie finally received an order from the Longwei Army General Command to counterattack across the board. When Luo Lie issued this order to the troops, the officers and soldiers of the 16th Division, who had been on the defensive, rejoiced. Americans have seen what a real offense is.China's cannons began to show their true power. Thousands of shells poured onto the U.S. positions, and then the U.S. 98th Infantry Division, which was preparing to launch a new round of attacks, was organized under such heavy rain. Casualties were numerous, and the organization was soon completely disrupted.

With the rise of several signal flares, all the Chinese soldiers jumped out of the position shouting, and they rushed towards the US positions with overwhelming momentum, with loud and clear voices from their mouths.A dozen tanks opened the way ahead.Crushing the U.S. positions, the machine guns blared, beating up the U.S. soldiers who were extremely fierce a few hours ago and fleeing in embarrassment.Soon, soldiers of the Dragon Army rushed into the U.S. positions and started hand-to-hand combat with the Americans.

The United States had already experienced the level of assassination of the soldiers of the Dragon Army at the beginning of the offensive. At this time, in front of the bayonets of the opponent's revenge, one after another American soldiers fell under the bayonets.In just over half an hour after the attack began, the Thirteenth Division had the upper hand.The fall of the position is already inevitable.Colonel Stilwell declined his subordinate's request to evacuate, and he looked at his watch.It was already afternoon, and the three-day blocking time had passed. Colonel Barton must have completed all the preparations. Colonel Stilwell let out a long sigh of relief. The mission had been completed, and now he should fight to the death like a warrior.

"All officers and soldiers of the 98th Infantry Division of the U.S. Army, now I order you to take up arms!" Colonel Stilwell said solemnly: "The time has come to die for the United States, let our blood flow here !"

After speaking, the colonel was the first to unleash a rifle and rushed out of his command post. Inspired by the colonel's heroic spirit, the staff officers in the command post picked up their weapons one after another and followed the colonel into the battlefield.

The transmitter of the 98th Infantry Division of the U.S. Army took his last telegram: "The positions have all been broken by the Chinese, and we are still fighting. Colonel Stilwell is commanding the soldiers of the 98th Division to fight bloody battles with the Chinese. We will never give up until the last moment, long live America!"

After shooting this telegram, the operator removed my finger from the button. He took out the rifle he had prepared long ago, and walked out of the command post without hesitation. He wanted to fight with his colonel and his troops forever together.There is no doubt that the spirit of these Americans is commendable, and they have also shown considerable courage, but what they are facing is the Chinese army, the Chinese army that is invincible and never fears!

The soldiers of the Dragon Army saw that the Americans were stubborn so far, and they all raised their spirits. As long as they have a tough opponent, it is the happiest thing.

The torrential rain became more violent, and the rain washed away the blood stains on the ground. Gradually, the blood pooled into a small river, flowing slowly on the battlefield.
