Chapter 1080: The Battle of the Kings (1)
I was the first to put forward the idea of ​​a decisive tank battle with the Chinese in the Grand Canyon, but with the development of the battlefield, the 99th Armored Division had not fired a single shot, and my strategic concept had not yet been implemented. However, he was reduced to a supporting role, which Colonel Patton, who has always been very high-spirited, could not tolerate.He also made several requests to General MacArthur for the 99th Armored Division to attack alone, but was severely rejected by General MacArthur, and he solemnly warned Patton not to do it alone.

Patton, who was in an extremely depressed mood, held a telescope and looked at the soldiers of the Dragon Army on the opposite side who were busy calmly, but he could only carry out the orders of his superiors, curling up here like a turtle, which definitely made him feel unwilling.Thinking of this, Barton slammed the telescope to the ground.

Ike, the battalion commander of the first battalion, picked up the telescope from the ground and found that the lens was a little broken. He wiped it carefully, put it away and said: "Colonel, I know you are in a very bad mood. But the big battle is about to start, please take care of yourself."

Faced with the concern of his cronies, Patton said angrily: "Ike, I was the first to propose this plan, but MacArthur deprived me of the glory that should have belonged to me! What is the tank army used for? To charge into battle , to break through the enemy's positions, to take on the toughest tasks on the battlefield, not to stay here like a turtle! Did you see, our soldiers have nothing to do, they sit on the tank all day smoking and talking about women , and even put his trousers on the barrel of the tank to dry, is this still a soldier? Does this still look like my subordinates? Just last night, a soldier was slapped severely by me because he did not Not like an American soldier!"

Ike understood the anguish in the colonel's heart. This is a very strong American officer.If he can't fight on the battlefield, he can't even live for 1 minute.

Ike thought for a while and said, "Colonel, maybe General MacArthur has his own ideas this time. Who made us all his subordinates? What can we do? Soldiers can only choose to obey."

"Him?" Patton snorted disdainfully: "If he really had any good ideas, then our army in Greece would not have lost so miserably to the Germans. I don't know the Supreme Command What is it about him that he would choose such a failed person as the commander-in-chief of millions of American troops? The people in the Supreme Command must have had water in their heads. Is it just because he is General Pershing? The favorite student? God, this is a war, not a personal relationship. Maybe the fate of the United States will be buried in the hands of these pig-headed people. Ike, the person who should be the general is me, it is me, George. Patton! If I were to command the army, those Chinese would have been sent home long ago!"

Ike shrugged his shoulders, his officer is such a person, he doesn't care about any officer, as long as it is a person with a higher position than him, such a temper will cause him big trouble one day of.

Seeing that his subordinates did not say a word, Barton patted Ike on the shoulder: "Dude, don't worry, follow me well, one day I will become a general, and you people will make a living in 99 armor Teacher is proud!"

Ike didn't know what to say. Maybe Colonel Patton would really become a general one day, but how many people in the upper class would like his character, his arrogant and domineering character?What I have to do is to try my best to calm down the colonel's often feverish mind.Ike smiled wryly at the thought.

On July 1920, 7, the Battle of the Grand Canyon between the Chinese and American armies broke out. This day is extremely important for both China and the United States.This day will also be extremely important to the final situation of the world. It will affect the trend of the world and the world structure in the next few decades, and it will change the thinking of military construction in various countries.

On this day, the general attack of the dragon army began.The soldiers of the Dragon Army, led by the No.12 Army and the Third Armored Division of Lightning Troops, rushed towards the US positions with unstoppable momentum.The American soldiers fought back desperately to block the attack of the Chinese soldiers, but on such a bloody battlefield, the soldiers on both sides were fighting for their beliefs and showed the greatest courage.

The planes of the Long Army took off again and again, bombing the U.S. positions. Plumber bombs and incendiary bombs continued to fall, causing bursts of gunpowder smoke on the U.S. positions.Before that, the artillery battle between the two sides was simply appalling.In just two hours, the Chinese and American artillery fired a total of more than [-] rounds of shells.The earth trembled beneath our feet, tree fragments and broken stones flew in the air, and the earth obscured the sky, making the sky and the earth look dim.

Chen Changjie, the captain of the Dragon Army Special Artillery Brigade, also saw such a tragic artillery battle for the first time in his life. The artillerymen of the two countries loaded shells into the barrels like crazy, and then smashed these shells at each other.At first, the soldiers were full of energy and fighting enthusiasm, but as the entire battlefield was submerged in the rumble of artillery, the soldiers' movements had become completely mechanized.They are just repeating the last action numbly, and then continue to go back and forth.

The powerful artillery of the Special Artillery Brigade swung the ax again and again like a giant god with a giant ax in ancient Chinese mythology.Then it fell down heavily.The U.S. assault artillery did not show any weakness, smashing the artillery shells at the Chinese artillery positions in a vengeful manner. Both sides tried their best to restrain the almost crazy artillery fire of the other side.

Chen Changjie was almost yelling into the phone, his voice became hoarse because of the continuous shouting: "Suppress the artillery fire in No. 2 area for me, suppress it! Fei Yun, you bastard, the second brigade fired How dare you come here like a bitch! Blow up the No. 10 position within 2 minutes, blow up!"

Chen Changjie, who had always been well-bred and calm, was also swearing constantly at this time. At the most critical moment in the artillery battle, almost every commander of the special artillery brigade was scolded bloody by Chen Changjie.At the same time, almost all the artillery pieces involved in the battle were used to the extreme. Soldiers on both sides faced the flying artillery shells, endured huge casualties, and stared blood-red eyes to see who would fall in the first artillery battle.

The contest in the sky can only be described as tragic, and the naval aviation team has an absolute advantage in the battle situation.They have a large number of fighters with leading performance and a large number of experienced pilots, but the U.S. Air Force is also very tenacious. They risked the passive situation of being shot down one by one, and frequently took off from the base to fight.

Since the start of the air battle, more than 55 American planes have been shot down, and China has lost 11 planes. The 1:5 casualty is also a loss that has never been experienced by Chinese fighter jets that are far ahead of the air forces of other countries in terms of technology and level.This made the captains of several flying brigades feel distressed.

"Gao Zhihang, air supremacy, air supremacy!" Pacific Fleet Chief of Staff Lin Yongsheng personally dialed Gao Zhihang's phone, and his tone was unprecedentedly severe: "The infantry needs cover, the artillery needs assistance, and the air supremacy must be completely controlled!"

"The Americans resisted very hard, but we already have the advantage on the battlefield!" Gao Zhihang held the phone in one hand.He took the telegrams in one hand, and almost shouted into the phone: "Please rest assured, the chief of staff, the naval aviation, like our powerful army, is invincible!"

He was not wrong. With the efforts of Chinese pilots, the balance of air combat began to tilt sharply towards the Chinese Air Force. The initial vigor of the Americans was gradually disappearing as more and more planes were shot down.The number of aircraft sorties taking off from the ground decreased each time, and the casualty reports on the desk of the US military headquarters also increased one by one.

When the fighter plane of the outstanding American pilot and the squadron leader of the [-]th Flying Squadron, Major Cruze, was shot down by the Chinese, and he himself died along with the plane, the US Air Force lost the courage to continue to take off. The sky was handed over to Chinese fighter planes.

In the sky, Chinese fighter planes are patrolling back and forth like a group of proud silver eagles!Begin to exercise their inviolable supremacy in the blue sky of the United States.

This is the most intense battle in the history of air combat since human beings took to the blue sky. In the two days before and after, more than 5500 sorties of planes were launched from both sides. The US side was shot down 227 planes, and China lost 62 planes. In the air battle, the main force of the U.S. Air Force was wiped out, and a large number of outstanding pilots died in battle. Since then, the United States lost its precious air supremacy, and the Chinese fighter jets once again maintained their glory.While the battle was in full swing in the blue sky, the artillery battle on the ground was slowly winning and losing. More than 400 American cannons were blown into a pile of scrap iron.

"Truman, move your troops forward 50 meters to suppress the artillery fire of the Chinese artillery!" An American artillery lieutenant colonel roared loudly, shaking his hands vigorously.

The commander of the American 155th Artillery Company named Truman seemed to have a little panic on his face, but he quickly regained his composure.He is trying his best to restrain the emotion of fear in his heart. Not only can such emotions not be seen by the superiors, but they must also not be transmitted to the subordinates, otherwise the blow to morale will be huge.

The 155th Artillery Company moved forward against the huge and fierce Chinese artillery fire according to the commander's order, and quickly loaded and fired, but soon, their position was discovered by a Chinese artillery unit, and immediately, like rain, Shells fell on them. "Harry, we can't stand it any longer." A second lieutenant yelled palely, "The Chinese cannons are too scary. We will all die, all of us will die!"

Truman's face was as pale as this lieutenant's, damn the war, damn the Chinese, damn the cannon!Why did I come to the front line, why?
