The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

His actions drove a lot of people crazy.After the Third Army Commander Walter Kruger got the news, he sent him a power call angrily: "What the hell are you going to do?! What we need is you to hold the Chinese back, not to fight them head-on! Strategy, strategy first ,Do you understand?!"

George Patton pushed back stiffly: "That's right! Mr. Commander! I think it's more important to maintain the honor of the Americans! If we don't dare to fight against a strong enemy today, and just sit back and watch those boys in crisis lose their lives, We will be permanently crucified on the pillar of shame! Today, I will use my actions to prove that Americans are not afraid of any enemy!"

After speaking, he blocked the communication, and Commander Kruger would not answer no matter how he called.

Commander Kruger angrily turned the table over, and after spitting and cursing for a full quarter of an hour, he was hoarse and his mouth was dry before he suddenly remembered that that damn bastard Patton made a big hole all of a sudden. , the offensive strength on the left is obviously insufficient!

Will the enemy take the opportunity to come to Salt Lake City?He first considered this crucial issue.Because the status of Salt Lake City is too important, once something goes wrong, not only will the entire offensive strategy fail completely, but even the control radius of the US military will be abruptly compressed back to at least [-] kilometers!

This is not 3000 kilometers on one side, but more than [-] kilometers from north to south across the United States!It is even possible that the Chinese will use the Salt Lake City front as a springboard to forcefully push the forward line to the central United States, turning the banks of the Mississippi River into battlefields!

Thinking of the unstoppable torrent of steel of the enemy army, galloping unscrupulously across the great plains of the central United States, Kruger couldn't help but fight fiercely. The scene was too terrifying!

"No! We must not let them in, the terrible consequences. We cannot afford it!"

Kruger made a decisive decision. Looking at the strength at hand, it seemed that there was no shortage, so he sent another armored division without hesitation to reinforce the gap left by Button, no matter what.Can't get out of the basket.

At the same time, he mobilized more than 100 fighters of various types, pulled them from the main battlefield, and pulled them to the main attacking front to reinforce the temporarily insufficient ground offensive force, making sure to suppress the opponent's tanks and not rush too hard.They also pulled out a regiment of heavy artillery, including the t17 183mm rocket launcher that was just used neatly.

To say that the speed of the U.S. military's weapons replacement is really not so fast.The Army has learned from others, and today's equipment has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to three years ago.Let’s just talk about the rocket launcher. The 114mm small tube of the first version and the original towed launcher are now all integrated into the discarded M4 Sherman chassis, which has become a T34 “pipe organ”. It is even more genius to directly retain the turret. , that's fine.Group attacks from a distance, and fierce bombardment from a distance.Kill two birds with one stone!

How effective it is remains to be tested on the battlefield, but overall, it can be said that it is not bad!

...at least, Americans themselves think so.

Of course, a major feature of American weapons.It is to maximize the assembly line production and build tanks with the energy of building cars. As long as the shape is finalized, it will be exported in piles and piles, and it will cheer you up!

Just this time.Kruger couldn't care less about being proud, he had to guarantee that these guys would come in handy!

Hurrah, an armored division immediately set off from the Utah Lake defense area, and rushed all the way to Delta!

On this side, the main force led by George Patton swept across the battlefield, first reached the front of Lake Sevier, and had a magnificent collision with the armored chariots of the Luozhen East Regiment!

In terms of numbers, the Americans still have the upper hand, and all kinds of light and heavy weapons are fully equipped. From a long distance, they use heavy artillery and rocket launchers to blast the sky and cover the sky!With that posture, I wish I could turn the entire desert Gobi into the surface of the moon!

The large-caliber and high-density artillery attack advocated by the US military was brought into full play at this moment. Hundreds of artillery pieces, large and small, fired thousands of shells from several directions and hit the target. The pitted ground caused by the tank battle has countless holes, let alone tanks, you just have different legs to walk smoothly!

Luo Zhendong was brave but not reckless. He got into the core of an entire heavy tank division in the United States. Naturally, he knew the danger. After he had just won the initial victory in the battle, he immediately pulled the troops to avoid the mountain on the right and escape from the impassable battlefield. , leaving behind hundreds of steel wreckage.

As soon as he walked on his front foot, the shells on his back foot fell overwhelmingly!The defenders could even feel the hot breath carried by the gust of wind caused by the surge of air that was almost ignited!The loud rumbling noise was like a volcanic eruption, and the orange flames that boiled over the sky changed the color of half of the fumigated sky!

Amidst the sound of rumbling guns, Patton led a group of tanks into the battlefield, but within a short distance, their tanks were almost knocked apart on the ground full of big pits!The forward troops could not even maintain a speed of 155 kilometers, and they couldn't see clearly when the lights were dark. Turning on the lights, it was a rhythm of courting death. They groped forward, and there were constantly big pits three to four meters deep and seven to eight meters wide. Burying people inside is a good thing for 152, 203 and even [-]mm artillery!

Patton saw that this was impossible. If the whole army really drove in, it would be like a living target that could not move. He threw his helmet on the tank turret in anger, and cursed: "Damn! Why are you always Encounter such a thing!"

He had no choice but to let the troops detour to the north. This time, they ran at least [-] kilometers more, but fortunately, they were still able to pass through the canyon and intercept the right road that suffered heavy losses.

The huge torrent of armor rolled forward under the cover of artillery, and the sound of clanging collisions was covered by the sound of rumbling explosions, which were generally not heard clearly from a distance.But it is almost impossible for others to be completely unaware.Not to mention the reconnaissance planes circling in the sky, in the low sky, the small drones released by Luo Zhendong and the others only made a low buzzing sound, passing the battlefield like ghosts, cruising only a few hundred meters above the US military The infrared night vision lens transmits clusters of dazzling signal sources back.

"Oh! The Yankee's force is not small! It seems that they are impatient!"

The weapons operator laughed heartlessly.He has reason to be proud, in this era.No one is more fortunate than them, they can control the big bird-like drones to travel dozens of kilometers, and they can spy on the enemy's whereabouts without being discovered.

At night, the lights are so dark that people can't see clearly, and they can't hear the sound of flying.You can peep unscrupulously, that kind of exciting feeling is really incomparable with ordinary things.

Luo Zhendong's eyes lit up, he scratched with both hands for a long time, and finally hummed depressedly: "No! There are too many! If we rush over, it will be difficult to swallow them in one bite. At most, we will disperse them, which will affect the Division strategy."

This is like a hungry wolf, clearly watching a fat sheep dangling in front of it.But I was worried that I would scare away the larger flocks, so I couldn't eat it. I was so hungry and thirsty!

Gritting his teeth, he chose to give up more wisely. This thing can't be messed up. If the plan is messed up, Wang Zhangtang can chop him up with a knife.

"Damn! Let them go first. Keep an eye on me! The whole army is ready, once the general offensive is ordered, it must be able to act immediately!"

Time is running out, and the combat units that are still intact are intensively repaired and maintained, refueled and replenished; injured but not fatal tanks are quickly repaired.Thanks to the advantages of the modular design, the broken part only needs to be disassembled as a whole and replaced with a new one.No matter the track, the road wheel, the skirt armor, or even the entire turret, there are large maintenance vehicles coming up to support the battlefield maintenance room."Swallow" the entire tank in, lift it up and replace it!

In just a few hours, about half of the damaged tanks were repaired. At this time, the large US military forces have basically passed away.

The forward of the U.S. military had already exchanged fire with the troops attacking from the left. The enemy army was too scattered and had the strength to get out of the gourd. It was relatively difficult to break through completely for a while. This gave Patton and others enough time to join forces. Thick defense, even a counterattack.

At this time, the troops attacking from the right finally rushed forward. Patton's 2nd Armored Division was short of manpower. Fortunately, Kruger's reinforcements also arrived. Coupled with the convenience of the Air Force, more than 100 night fighters At the risk of hitting the mountain at any time, desperately pounced, even bombed and bombed regardless of the enemy and the enemy, he just used the destructive explosion flame to create a wide isolation zone, echoed the artillery movement in place, and launched a violent bombardment, which was regarded as a roadblock .

After Luo Zhendong contacted the division headquarters to confirm, he waved his hand fiercely: "The construction vehicle moves, open the way!"

More than a dozen Tiger tanks with large push shovels at the front, the two engines roaring at the same time, burst out a deafening dull roar, fully powered by a full 1500kw, each along a route, and the wreckage of the rotten American tank Push it aside, push the big crater blown out by the shells flat, fill it up almost, and walk slowly all the way, rumbling and forming more than a dozen curved oblique lines, stretching to the north!

The movement was not small, and it didn't take long for the security troops left by Patton's 2nd Division to hear it. The soldiers became nervous for a while, and without saying a word, they called for artillery fire, bombarded that side, and urgently reported to the division. Department, remind attention!

Patton had long expected that things were not that simple. The actions of the U.S. military almost became unilaterally transparent. It would be a ghost if they didn't notice their large-scale movement. He didn't panic, and ordered the rear guard: "At all costs to hold They! As long as we block the enemy army in front, we can eliminate this annoying enemy when we turn around! In addition, the place where they are should be found out now? Call the air force and drop bombs there!"

"But General, that area has at least a few hundred square miles, it's too big!"

"I don't care!" Patton snarled arrogantly, "You just have to tell the air force, even if it fills up the place with bombs one by one, it will be done! All I want is a rotten vegetable field that can't walk at all! Chinese come out!"

A broken battlefield is an obstacle to them, and it is also a trouble to the Chinese!Whether they want to go in or the other side wants to come out, they must solve the difficult problem of getting out.Under the threat of powerful artillery fire, whoever runs slowly will be courting death!

The helpless officer of the rear guard faithfully conveyed his meaning, which drew a frenzied scolding from Commander Kruger.But after venting, he still has to do what that bastard wants, because he can't afford the consequences!

Another group of night planes that were supposed to participate in the Nevada air battle were drawn out to form a group of hundreds of bombers, and flew over according to the coordinates mentioned by Patton.Regardless of whether there are enemies below or how many there are, the aerial bombs that are at least 100 pounds and as large as thousands of pounds are thrown down like no money.

Thousands of bombs all of a sudden, as spectacular as a super large hailstone, all of a sudden.In the desert Gobi with a radius of tens of square kilometers, the flames blazed into the sky, and the shock of the explosion softened the dry and hardened ground. One after another, the battlefield became even more rugged. Now, even bicycles cannot walk up.Hiking, if you don't pay attention, you will have your feet scratched by bullet casings!

The dozens of "Tiger" tanks that opened the way were first hit by the overwhelming artillery shells, and then bombarded by the bombs.Seven or eight vehicles were lost, and the road that was finally repaired was blown to pieces.

Luo Zhendong never expected that the Americans would go crazy like this, cursing angrily, now, he might not be able to catch up with the action time!

But after Wang Zhangtang learned about it, he stared, he instinctively noticed it.Something's wrong with this!

From the right road along the railway, to the middle road.Going to the left, there are more than 200 U.S. night fighters that have encountered so far, and the power of the Nevada airspace has weakened a lot at once, which is obviously transferred.Can present all performance.It's all about the U.S. military attacking Las Vegas, and they didn't arrange enough air support in advance? !

Unless the generals who formulate the strategy of the US military are out of their minds, otherwise, they are deceitful!

The emergence of terminal sensitive bombs, and amphibious tanks on land.This is due to the lack of preparation of the US military, and it is reasonable to suffer, but other actions show a deliberate taste, and even the continuity of the force of the front and back attacks is different.

War, like any sport in the world, has its own unique rhythm.A battle-tested commander will first be able to detect whether the rhythm is in sync, and thus determine what is wrong with it.

The so-called more temples wins.What the Chinese understand, the Americans will not understand. They have suffered such a big loss and are foolish. There must be a problem!

I have to say that Wang Zhangtang's character is rough but fine, which helped a lot!No matter how reliable the plan made by Eisenhower was, the frontal attack was fake after all, and deviations were bound to occur in the implementation of theoretical things. As a result, Patton, who was doing a fake show for real, was so complete that he immediately showed his true form!

Wang Zhangtang hurriedly met with the staff, and made a decisive decision: "Damn! The American devils are clearly not fully prepared! Hehe, if this is the case, I will not be polite! Order the various departments to increase the attack and give me their defense line Penetrate! I want to see if they are in a hurry or not when the tanks arrive in Salt Lake City!"

Originally, his plan was to stop the U.S. military in the middle of the road, and it would be fine to continue to consume its troops. It would not be considered to attack Salt Lake City. In that case, the front line would be too long, from California to the front line. Kilometers, the current transshipment will be difficult.

But now, the big meal is delivered to his mouth, and he will feel sorry for himself if he doesn't eat it!

On the front of the battlefield, the armored forces, which seemed to be intercepted by aerial and ground artillery fire and unable to move forward, suddenly moved!

The long-range artillery group of the U.S. military, which has been firing fiercely in the rear, was suddenly attacked by the 220mm long-range rocket launcher of the First Mountain Division, which was smashed from as far as 45 kilometers away.

This kind of mid-range guy has 12 tubes in a car, 18 cars in a battalion, and 216 at a time. The area covered by each warhead reaches the size of a football field. It has more precise guidance heads and rough shooting control. When caught off guard, the U.S. military Hit now!

Three heavy artillery positions not far away were blown up on the spot!

Americans are stunned!They couldn't figure it out, how could the other party have artillery that shot so far?You know, their strike distance has been extended to 25 kilometers away, and the air bombing has pushed forward at least ten kilometers, which has already exceeded the range of Chinese artillery.Could it be that they fired all the train guns?Or the navy's naval guns came ashore!

There is not such a high density when going ashore!

But anyway, there are rockets in their hands. The Americans quickly realized that it is this kind of damn thing, and there is no way to limit its range. As long as the engine is strong enough, it is not impossible to shoot it from the other side of the earth... The Chinese are ahead in this regard!

The rest of the artillery retreated in panic!The air fleet was informed and rushed forward in an attempt to search for and bomb these dire threats.But this time, it's not working

An entire anti-aircraft regiment marching with the main force pulled out all the scary anti-aircraft weapons!The leader is the Army version of the "Iron Curtain" interception system, a terrifying thing that fires a maximum of 648 122mm rockets at a time. Once locked, the airspace at a maximum distance of 15 kilometers and a maximum height of 5000 meters is a dead area. Can't run!

The first wave of U.S. military night fighters rushing up to find fault, did not even find a shadow, and were drowned in the explosion by a large bolide that suddenly rose from the ground!

The "Iron Curtain" system, which is divided into four or five waves, shoots rockets that are less dense than the navy, but the accuracy is not lost at all. Combined with radars from other directions, it hits in one fell swoop!Twenty or thirty U.S. fighter planes exploded into pieces and fell into the forest, causing a large fire!

The ones behind just caught up, and another wave blasted out. The explosion filled the sky, forming hundreds of thousands of terrifying metal killing storms. (To be continued..)
