Chapter 736 The Battle of Los Angeles
"Protect the bulldozer!"
Jiang Yan shouted loudly, quickly pulled out the grenade, and threw it at the front several U.S. soldiers who were also ready to blow up the bulldozer with the grenade.
Close-range combat is compared with speed and reaction ability. These U.S. troops did not seem to expect this strange-looking thing. The big thing similar to a tank was followed by infantry, and the flesh and blood were suddenly blurred.
"Class One, on the left!"
"Class Two, on the right!"
"Machine gun, put the machine gun up, pay attention to the grenade still coming out of the trench!"
In the shouting, the two classes of machine gunners quickly occupied both sides of the road where the bulldozer was about to work, crawling on the ground and quickly set up the light machine gun. In the roar, the roar quickly suppressed the trench in front of them, and the American soldiers in the trench no longer dared to look up.
After seeing that the machine gun suppressed the enemy, Jiang Yan immediately took the remaining soldiers, threw a string of grenades into the last trench, and jumped in.
Because the U.S. military is also afraid of being driven directly by tanks, each trench is 3.6 meters wide, far exceeding the barrier width of the M3 Cheetah and M4 Siberian Tiger tanks, so it is necessary to use a barrier-clearing bulldozer to fill this trench before moving forward.
A huge shovel plunged into the soft sand fiercely. After a burst of black smoke broke out behind the buttocks, the bulldozer with two high-horsepower gasoline engines immediately began to work.
The corpses of the dense trench almost made Jiang Yan fall. After staggering up a few steps, he immediately greeted everyone to spread to the two wings. Because the trench was very deep and not in a straight line, there were various forks and hidden points in it, so he must carefully walk along the wall.
"Grenade."
Jiang Yan shouted, and the soldier behind him understood it. He immediately pulled out the grenade and threw it into the left corner. The explosion rushed out of the side with a grudge and hit his face with pain.
The bodies of two American soldiers were also brought out by the explosion at the same time. It was estimated that they were going to hide in the corner to make a sneak attack, but they didn't expect that their opponents were so cunning. When they entered the trenches, they were not in a hurry to spread to the two wings, but carefully walked close to the walls of the trenches. When they met the branch road, they still had grenades, so they did not die. Close your eyes.
This is experience!
Jiang Yan spat at the body and said that the combat experience, the Marine Corps must be one of the richest troops. He alone has experienced the rainforest battle of the Southeast Peninsula, and then Solomon Islands, Nouméa and Australia. He has changed several barrels all the way. If he didn't even exercise this ability, It's time to retire.
Cleared up the trenches of sufficient width. Jiang Yan did not let the soldiers continue to attack the two wings, but defended the trenches from being recaptured by the U.S. The most important thing for him now is to protect the bulldozer. As long as this trench can be quickly filled, the First Marine Division can quickly enter the core. Los Angeles City.
From time to time, the flying bullets brushed the scalp and jingled on the bulldozer. Jiang Yan and the soldiers were just interested in coming back a few shots, or they would stick to this trench. Anyway, the bulldozer's skin is rough and thick. If you count the big shovel in front, you can't even penetrate the front of the M3 cheetah, then you still care about a few small bullets. .
Jiang Yan looked at his watch. It has been 6 hours since the morning. Although all three trenches were occupied, they relied on bulldozers to fill the gaps and roads. The armored forces are cutting along these gaps. If it goes well, the peripheral war should be ended before the evening. Fight.
However, this kind of battle can be handed over to the infantry division. The goal of the First Marine Division and the Armored Division is to enter Los Angeles as soon as possible, but that is also the most deadly task.
Even if the outside is scattered, there are still many U.S. troops in the rubble and broken houses. The dense streets and buildings will make every soldier who rush in numb, because you never know which one will suddenly burst out of bullets behind so many windows.
Therefore, we must be vigilant later.
Just when Jiang Yan thought about how to fight after entering the city, the bulldozer had finished filling the pit. Looking at the table for exactly 40 minutes, the speed was not slow. Fortunately, it was this kind of sand. If it was placed in a place like Western Siberia, it could not be finished in less than 2 hours.
The bulldozer finished driving to the trench next to it last night. Several M3 cheetah tanks waiting behind immediately accelerated and rushed over the filled trenches and rushed to the city of Los Angeles not far away.
"Boom."
A huge explosion exploded from the front, and the shock wave lifted Jiang Yan and several soldiers who were just ready to climb up the trench. Fortunately, the distance was still far away and was not swept away by shrapnel.
Judging from the power of the explosion, it should be a large-caliber heavy artillery on the other side of the harbor. There is nothing we can do for these turn around. The army can't nibble on them, but this guy can't live long. After exposure, the night owl hovering in the sky will soon dive to kill it.
Jiang Yan climbed into the trench again and followed his fanned tank company closely with his infantry reconnaissance company. In terms of troop equipment, the first land division is completely equipped in accordance with the standard of the infantry, and because of the special combat objectives of the marines, it is equipped with far more recoilless guns and mortars in light support fire weapons than the infantry. There are also many more machine guns, and the reconnaissance company is even stronger, so the combat effectiveness is better than that of seals. Almost all of them.
"Check the ammunition." Jiang Yan kept turning his head and shouting to the soldiers, "Los Angeles is ahead. Give me 12 points of energy, and my eyes are wide open!" After entering the street, try to lean against the wall. If there is no wall, lean against the tank and armored car. The body will help you block the bullets behind you, so that you can concentrate on dealing with the enemy on one side!"
"Pay attention to cooperation in all classes, and shout out to me when things happen!"
"In addition, I will remind you for the last time!" Jiang Yan kept shouting and reminding everyone, "Remember the order before departure. Anyone with a gun belongs to the shooting target!"
"Yes!"
Tanks rumbled and rushed into the city with rolling sand and dust. When the troops were about to reach the block, in an instant, it seemed that a huge hornet's nest had been poked open, and countless shells, machine guns and grenades rushed out from everywhere.
"Boom, rumble."
=======" "The mite, call the mite! District 4 Street needs support.
"The 6th company was suppressed at the entrance of the street. Zhang Bin, let the 2nd Tank Battalion support them immediately!"
"Road roller, let the road roller focus on the No. 11 area, where there are solid fortifications!"
"Warhammer, order the war hammer to cross the trench and move to the edge of the city."
"Pone all the tanks!"
In the communication center of the front-line headquarters, non-commissioned officers kept shouting. Although it was a cold winter, the hot sunshine in California sprinkled on everyone, making everyone sweat.
"Report, the U.S. military began to move to San Bernardino, and the air force reconnaissance found that the number was very large!" After the staff salute, he gave the telegram to Luo Feng and Ouyang Xiu, who were quietly standing in the corner. The army had launched a full-scale attack. At this time, these senior officers could not help. In the final analysis, in addition to the good plan and command, the victory of the war also required the soldiers to fight with flesh and blood and courage.
"Why don't you command in person?" Ouyang Xiu smoked fiercely, and Luo Feng, who tilted his eyebrows and pinched the telegram.
"What's there to go? I'm not a teacher." Luo Feng stared back at Ouyang Xiu angrily. Originally, he wanted to talk a few words to relieve the atmosphere, but when he got to his mouth, he couldn't say anything. He only spit out four words: "It's hard to fight when you enter the city."
"Yes."
Ouyang Xiu nodded. For the army, urban and street warfare is a new topic, but the small city of Los Angeles is already so fierce. If it were a big city on the east coast of the United States, it would be really tricky.
"Wait." Luo Feng raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "If you can't open the situation before the evening, then let the reserve team go."
"In the evening." Ouyang Xiu looked up at the sky. The sun had begun to gradually deviate from the top of his head. At this time, he really wished he could not lead the troops into the city in person.
"Report." After the staff saluteed, he suddenly quietly walked to the two people and whispered, "The Chief of General Staff is here."
"The Chief of General Staff is here?" Seeing that the staff officer was so mysterious, the two couldn't help but feel a little strange. It is reasonable that Chen Ping should not be so mysterious when he comes to the front line. Is it!
With a pair of eyes, the two of them suddenly guessed.
====== "On the left, be careful of machine guns!"
As soon as Jiang Yan shouted, a string of bullets suddenly came out from behind the rubble and chirped under his feet. He quickly turned around and hid behind the cheetah.
The 37mm assault gun quickly rotated and suddenly pulled out a long tongue at the fire point. In the sound of shelling, the U.S. military machine gun point was quickly solved.
"Crush, rush!"
Seeing that the machine gun point had been killed, Jiang Yan shouted and rushed to the rubble with several soldiers. After a few shots killed the undead U.S. military, as soon as he stuck a brick wall behind him, the wall burst into Mars. He only saw several U.S. troops poking out of the window on the second floor opposite.
"Fuck you grandma!"
A bullet hit the wall next to Jiang Yan's helmet, and the bursting stone hit his face. He immediately pulled out a blood stain. He was so angry that he immediately aimed at the window and raised his hand to the soldier opposite.
A little soldier across the street understood. He immediately took out a grenade, took a breath and rushed to the street. Then he turned around and threw the grenade into the window on the second floor.
"Boom."
The explosion exploded from the second floor, and several American soldiers hiding in the thick smoke flew out. As soon as they landed, they were fired by the soldiers.
The little soldier of the pitching grenade clenched his fist excitedly. Just as he was about to return to the class, more than a dozen U.S. troops suddenly rushed out of the front intersection of the street in the distance and stopped dragging a 75mm gun.
"75 cannons! Lie down!"
Jiang Yan's eyes were almost congested. While shouting to lie down, the cannon had sounded. The front end of the untouchable cheetah suddenly burst into a mass of sparks and ignited a raging fire. Then the little soldier was also overturned by the explosion, and the shrapnel was inserted on his back, which was particularly scary.
"Save people, save people!"
"Medical officer!"
"Medical officer!"
"Machine gun, suppress it! Come out, come out."
Jiang Yan quickly ran to the burning tank to rescue the tank soldiers who climbed out of it. Such a close-range 75mm shell was fatal to the cheetah, especially this narrow street that could not move at high speed.
Seeing that the raid worked, the American soldiers did not fall in love with the war. They immediately dragged the cannon back to the street corner. The bullet did not hurt them except for hitting an American soldier running at the back.
"The company commander, I can't see, I can't see them!"
The monitor of Class 2 held a rifle with a scope and shouted loudly. If the cannon was not killed, the whole company would be suppressed and unable to move here. Therefore, Jiang Yan saw the U.S. military running away with a shot, and immediately stamped his feet in anger and shouted at the soldier with an oversized sniper rifle behind him, "Big head, above Kill them!" !
When the company commander saw the company pointing to a windmill tower not far away, he immediately called two comrades-in-arms to rush over, but when they opened the door and walked to the top of the tower, they found that two Americans who looked like civilians were shooting on the street with a machine that looked a little like a movie in the army.
Mel was so scared by the Chinese soldiers who suddenly broke in that he cried. He huddled in the corner and held a white flag and kept shivering. Griffith was also scared, but he was anxious to protect the camera. He rushed to it and shouted, "Civilians, we are civilians, no guns!"
"What are they shouting about?"
"Damn it!"
"Shut up!"
"Shut up! Go to the side!"
After kicking Griffith and Mel into the corner, they were really not in the mood to deal with these two Yankees who raised white flags before they were beaten. After letting one person look at them, they immediately ran to the air window and set up the 12.7mm heavy sniper rifle that had just been equipped with the reconnaissance company of the elite troops.
Griffith held the camera that was still rotating and quietly pointed the camera at the air window. It was very strange to him. The muzzle of the gun had a hat, and the big head of the super-large rifle was also very large.
After pulling off the bolt and pushing a thick 12.7mm bullet into the gun, he immediately searched the position of the 75 gun close to the scope.
The position is not very good, so I can only faintly see some, but a round plate still made his eyebrows beat and shouted, "Tell the company commander, don't move forward, they still have a round plate!"
The round plate is a soldier's joke on Lewis's 7.7mm rifle, because the machine gun has a strange shape and a large round ammunition plate on it.
The comrade-in-arms next toimmediately stood up and drew the shape of the disk with his hand against the street below. Jiang Yan, who saw the gesture and wanted to impact once, immediately let everyone squat down.
The machine gun is the biggest threat to the infantry, which is much more fierce than the cannon, so no one can pass without destroying the machine gun after the tank is unusable.
Griffith looked at the three Chinese soldiers curiously, but he did not dare to move any more, because a gun was still aimed at him. Even for the sake of Mel, he did not want to provoke the other party at this time.
The big head carefully searched for the shooting target. When a small air hole appeared in the scope, revealing half of the machine gunner's head, he suddenly pulled the trigger.
"Ban."
Griffith only heard that a louder sound of gunfire exploded in his ear than usual, and then the seemingly solid wall on the street corner in the distance was blown up.
The cold sweat brushed down. Is this a shell? It's still a bullet!
"Fuck you!"
Seeing that he had failed, he scolded his mother angrily, quickly filled in the second bullet, and aimed at the American machine gunner who was about to run with the pain on his shoulder.
Bang!
There was another gunshot. Griffith only saw that the American soldier with a machine gun seemed to be cut open by something. His upper and lower bodies suddenly burst open, and blood and broken meat were sprinkled all over the street.
"God!" Seeing this scene, Mel was so scared that he peed his pants. Griffith was also nervous and shivering. He didn't know if the camera had filmed this scene, but he believed that the soldier in front of him who was lying on the ground and making a king-large rifle was really terrible. If he pointed the gun at himself, I'm afraid.
"Fry you!"
Seeing the meritorious service, the big head licked his lips and quickly pushed in the third bullet, and his comrades-in-arms around him immediately took out a new magazine standby.
Bang.
The third shot, the American soldier who only saw a probe had just exposed a little helmet brim, and the bullet directly penetrated the wall on the street corner and hit him on the head. When the body fell forward on the street, Griffith found that his head was completely gone, and the blood in his neck was pouring out like a spring.
Since the 12.7mm sniper rifle magazine can only hold three bullets, the big head must stop to change the magazine. Fortunately, the U.S. military was also scared by these two shots and hid on the street corner and dared not probe again.
"Boom."
Just as the big head was changed into the magazine, the 80mm recoilless cannon opened fire, aimed at three shells in a row on the street corner, and immediately made a hole in the wall of the street corner.
The big head's eyes are red, and the eyes are great! So he immediately aimed at the U.S. military next to the 75mm cannon and fired the fourth shot.
Bang. The shoulders and heads were directly flattened.
Bang, the fifth shot. A thigh was torn.
Bang, the sixth shot. It was crooked and hit the gun rack, and immediately the gun rack scattered to the ground.
Seventh shot, eighth shot.
Griffith's hands and feet were cold, and he stared at the big head of fire, changing the magazine and then opening fire. This is a good opportunity to see Chinese soldiers up close. It's simply watching an extremely cruel killing show!
Especially that big gun, it is almost synonymous with death. Whether it is a stone wall, a brick wall, or steel, as long as it is aimed without exception, it will be penetrated. As for the soldiers who are hit, no one can survive at all. If they are not broken limbs and legs, they are simply blown up or broken in two!
God, Jehovah!
Two dive bombers finally solved all the problems. 250 kg high-explosive bombs exploded along the whole street, and hundreds of American soldiers were bought under the rubble without even shouting.
When the three tanks behind came up again, the big head stood up with satisfaction, rubbed his shoulders, swept over the two frightened Yankees, looked at the white flag, and cracked his yellow teeth and big mouth: "I'm in a good mood today. I decided to abide by the military rules and not kill the prisoners. Let's go!"
When Griffith followed Mel, who held the white flag high, and walked out of the hidden windmill tower under the muzzle of the terrible gun at the big head, he was completely scared by the scene in front of him. He only saw the plane hovering overhead, and a terrible scream kept coming.
The explosion fluttered throughout Los Angeles, and every street was covered with corpses. The explosion pushed the houses piece by piece, and tens of thousands of American soldiers were buried in the rubble.
Shouting, screaming, and flames reflected the redness of Los Angeles in the evening.
Suddenly, he came up with a name for his movie.
An hour later, Griffith and Mel were taken away by a jeep with a camera in their arms. A few years later, a World War documentary shot on the front line was approved by Xinhua.
The name is.
The Battle of Los Angeles.
On January 5, 1917, Los Angeles, an important deep-water port city in California, was breached five days ahead of schedule after paying the price of 7,31 deaths and injuries (of which 1,200 people were killed and more than 3,600 people were injured in the last fierce street battle alone).
In the two-day and two-night battle, a total of 110,000 U.S. troops were killed, 130,000 people were captured, and countless supplies, weapons and ammunition were seized. The remaining U.S. troops also had to move south to San Diego after the head of San Bernardino.
So far, the Xinhua Army has set a big wedge between San Diego and San Francisco, the last two fortress cities on the U.S. West Coast!
On January 9, the second batch of 88 minesweepers arrived off the coast of Los Angeles. The Xinhua General Staff requested that the maritime transportation channel must be opened within 12 days to prepare for the arrival of the main force and a full-scale attack.
On the west coast, the wind and rain suddenly swayed!
