Chapter 1081: The Battle of the Kings (2)
Truman's curriculum vitae, there is nothing to be proud of, he did not go to college, after graduating from high school, Truman worked as a railway company timekeeper, bank bookkeeper, helped his father take care of the farm; Served as an artillery captain.Truman knew that he didn't have much talent. The reason why he joined the army was to get a good job in the army and then choose to retire, so that he would have enough capital in the future.But what he never imagined was that he would fight the powerful Chinese army face to face, which he absolutely didn't want to see.Almighty God, please bless you poor believer!Truman muttered prayers in his heart, and the sound of the artillery became louder, but at this time the sound of the American cannons became lower and lower, and the battlefield was filled with smoke from the Chinese artillery shells falling everywhere.

Truman collected himself and tried his best to maintain a majestic expression: "Don't be afraid, now is the time for us to sacrifice our lives for the United States. Lock the position of the muzzle, fire me, fire!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a shell from the opposite side of the battlefield fell from the sky and was about to explode not far from Truman. Immediately, dozens of American artillerymen fell in a pool of blood.Truman himself was also seriously injured and fell to the ground writhing and struggling like an earthworm. "Harry, Harry!" The second lieutenant fell beside Truman just now, a big hole was blown out in his chest, and blood flowed out continuously. The second lieutenant called Truman desperately, desperately trying to grab No matter what, but he gave up, pounded his hands to the ground, and closed his eyes.

Truman didn't even feel the pain, he only felt that his soul was leaving his body little by little, his eyes had no brilliance at all, just like the eyes of a dead fish, looking at the sky with a look of death.

Is that the end?Is this the end?He didn't come to the battlefield to seek death, nor was it for the glory and pride of the United States. He came here entirely to find an opportunity to be promoted in the future.In his hometown, he also has a fiancée, Elizabeth Virginia Wallace, and they are about to get married. "Elizabeth, Elizabeth," Truman murmured, and finally he stopped struggling and felt nothing.

This is just a small episode in the war. With the end of the artillery battle and the full-scale attack of the Chinese army, a famous tank battle in the history of war is about to be staged. This will determine the fate of the Chinese and American armies on the Grand Canyon battlefield. World War I.

Colonel Patton, the commander of the 99th Armored Division of the US Army, finally received an order from General MacArthur to allow him to fight.The Long Army was on the front line of the Cherry Creek position, facing the fierce artillery fire of the US army, and risking huge casualties, they repeatedly launched charges one after another.The most frightening thing was the Chinese armored units, which made a loud rumbling noise and clashed unstoppably back and forth on the U.S. positions.

In order to suppress the Chinese tank force, General MacArthur ordered Colonel Patton to immediately command the 99th Armored Division into battle, and resolutely keep the Chinese armored force out of position.

As soon as Colonel Patton received the general's order, he whistled loudly, and couldn't hide his excitement on his face and said: "These scumbags in the military department finally thought of us, Ike, let the boys gather and report to those Chinese soldiers. People attack. After this battle is over, maybe the star on my shoulder can be changed!"

The 99th Armored Division was quickly assembled, and Colonel Patton stood on a command vehicle and said loudly: "The brave American boys of the 99th Armored Division, now is the time for you to serve the United States! Rampant everywhere on the battlefield, now is the time to show them that the United States also has powerful armor! Show your courage a hundred times, and use your cannons to kick those Chinese. The 99th Armored Division is invincible Invincible, the 99th Armored Division will become the hero of the Grand Canyon battle. And I, George Patton, Colonel of the U.S. Army, will lead you to one victory after another! Now, go forward, brave boys!"

Under Patton's instigation, hundreds of tanks from the 99th Armored Division made a huge roar and marched towards the fierce battle.

At this time, it was the 3rd Armored Division of the Lightning Army that was responsible for opening the way for the Dragon Army.This iron-blooded armored force, which has been fighting from the Middle East to the United States, pierces the heart of the US military like a sharp sword.

"The number of American armored units found in the front is between 100 and 150." A report from the Pioneer Tank came from the dialogue machine. "Everyone is ready to fight. Repeat again, everyone is ready to fight!" Du Yuming gave the order coldly.

In the forefront are two US "Avenger" tanks.Two Chinese Tiger tanks facing them.The muzzles of the guns were aimed at each other, the cannon fired at close range, and the machine guns yelled frantically, firing flame after flame.Soon, an "Avenger" was hit on the track, and immediately paralyzed on the battlefield like a pile of scrap iron.

"After the 99th Armored Division entered the war, our army's unfavorable situation on the battlefield was quickly reversed." The Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army reported: "The Cherry Creek position repelled more than ten Chinese charges in a row, and Colonel Patton destroyed about ten Chinese troops. Of course, our 99th Armored Division also lost more than [-] tanks."

General MacArthur shook his head slightly, obviously dissatisfied with the result of the battle: "Three tanks were exchanged for one tank from the Chinese. Even if the United States has huge resources, it will not be able to afford such a loss for a long time. But be realistic. Speaking of which, Barton's record is quite good. At least neither the British nor the French did it.

"Is it appropriate to organize some counterattacks?" The chief of staff said cautiously: "The battle started in the morning, and the momentum of the Chinese soldiers' offensive has obviously dropped. If some troops are invested in counterattacks at this time, I think it will Unexpected results were achieved."

General MacArthur nodded: "Yes, order Patton and his 99th Armored Division to carefully choose the timing of the counterattack, but they are not allowed to advance too far. The Chinese have invested a large number of armored forces in the United States. This time it is only a The power of the division, I think maybe they have some kind of conspiracy in it."

The chief of staff didn't say anything, but he always felt that the general was a little too cautious.Yes, the Chinese are indeed powerful, but they are definitely not so powerful that they are invincible.Although Colonel Patton had a grumpy temper and was difficult to approach, he showed courage and determination far beyond MacArthur on the battlefield.However, the chief of staff will not express his thoughts clearly. Whether he wins or loses, it is the general's business and has nothing to do with him.

"Needham, has Washington's telegram arrived?" General MacArthur turned his head to his secretary: "How about the artillery and supplies I asked Washington to reinforce?"

Joseph Needham shrugged: "Unfortunately, General, there has been no reply yet. I have sent several telegrams in a row, but for some reason, there has been no sound at all."

"The bureaucrats in Washington." MacArthur murmured and cursed: "We are fighting bloody battles on the front lines, but they are dying there. What about the president, what about the speaker? Are they fishing now? Needham, send a telegram to President Johnson, Tell him I need reinforcements now, lots of them!"

MacArthur walked around the room a little anxiously. His mood was extremely bad. The US fighter planes in the air were beaten by the Chinese and could not take off, and the artillery fire on the ground was completely suppressed.At last, his infantry and armored troops were still up to the mark, saving himself a little face, otherwise he really didn't know how to fight this battle.At this time, MacArthur always felt that there was something wrong in his heart. The Chinese army should not only have such combat effectiveness. Could it be that frequent battles have seriously affected their morale?Or what conspiracy do the Chinese have?
MacArthur had no way of knowing the real intentions of the Chinese. Since the outbreak of the air battle, the US reconnaissance planes have been unable to take off. Now MacArthur feels like a deaf and blind man.

"Tell Patton, you must be more cautious." MacArthur told the chief of staff worriedly: "If you are not fully sure, you must not attack at will. Once there is any change, you must come back immediately! Now we have no possibility of artillery fire. Cover, if the X position loses its armored force, then the entire line of defense may be breached!"

When Colonel Patton received an order from General MacArthur.He put the telegram aside contemptuously, with a very disapproving expression on his face. According to MacArthur's order, when will the Chinese be able to be defeated?
"Ike, your battalion is going deep into the Chinese army!" Colonel Patton said to the intercom: "I will order the 2nd company to support you. Separate the Chinese tanks for me!"

"Colonel, our troops suffered heavy casualties, heavy casualties!" Ike's voice came from the intercom: "The Chinese tanks have too much advantage in front of us, my God, another one of my tanks was destroyed We can't make it, we really can't make it!"

Patton said a little angrily: "Ike, the battlefield is not won by advanced equipment, but by courage, courage, you know? If you don't want to charge, then let me lead the troops to fight against the Chinese." duel!"

"Okay. Colonel, then I will carry out your order!" Ike said helplessly. He knew that Colonel Patton was a stubborn guy, and no one could change what he had decided.
