Chapter 816 July Fire 11
"The omnipotent Lord, please save me."
"Take us out of here!"
"Amen."
Batonglu said, Louisiana.
In the position at the top of the mountain, the flesh and blood surface seemed to have been turned over. There were terrible craters and corpses everywhere. Deeply in the trench, the pale-faced soldiers knelt in the middle of the corpses and crossed to pray to God.
At the foot of the mountain, two rows of cheetah tanks were spraying black smoke. The track was covered with flesh and blood, and even the rags torn from the body could be seen. The long blood stains were shocking. Thousands of Xinhua and Japanese soldiers followed them like brown ants and rushed to the top of the mountain again.
"Machine guns, where are our machine guns?"
"Bullet, I need bullets!"
"God, I was shot. Come and save me."
Compared with the almost cold mechanical confrontation in the Caribbean, the degree of blood and horror on the ground battlefield is unimaginable to ordinary people.
Since July, in order to cooperate with the naval offensive, under the strong long-range bombing of the air force, the North American Theater Command has concentrated four armies, with the cooperation of two Mexican armies, targeting Oregon on the west coast, Arizona on the east coast, and Oklahoma and Arkansas in the middle, while Launched a tide-like attack.
1.3 million troops rushed forward on multiple fronts at the same time. In order to delay the enemy's offensive frenzy, Pershing had to disperse the troops and compete for every town and every hill.
The U.S. military, known as the noodles of the Ally before the war, summoned up the last courage in the face of the destruction of the country and family, and used the flesh and blood to block in front of the front of the tanks and cannons like crazy, but under the superior firepower, how long can the flesh and blood be resist?
Pershing's tactics of dispersing troops to resist each other did play a delaying role, but the number of deaths transmitted to Washington every day made the whole United States cry.
The war has reached the most critical moment. Whether it is an agreement or an alliance, everyone knows it.
Italy and Spain began to waver, and the United States was beaten out of breath. After three months of the Battle of Paris, almost meat grinders killed. Before the total casualties exceeded 4 million, the German army began to gradually take the initiative.
For the suffering Allied countries, everything is slowly sliding into the abyss.
The bombardment of the city of Chetumal was killed and injured by 34,000 people, which severely frustrated Mexico. The stimulant that defeated the third battleship formation of the Xinhua Fifth Task Force (concord propaganda) lasted for only two days, and was left behind by people under the opponent's terrible ground offensive.
Everyone is asking how long it will take for such a life to end!
Two air force wolf howls (night owl air force type) arrived over the position. After receiving a request for fire support on the ground, they roared down without saying a word.
In the position without air defense capability, the U.S. soldiers could only cover their ears, stare at the war eagles and howling almost vertically dive down, and then threw two 250 kg high-explosive bombs to the trenches.
"Boom."
Nearly 100 kilograms of TNT explosives turned the heavy bomb into a swollen balloon. The shell shell cracked along the pre-carved dents on the inner wall, wrapped in mud and sand, scattered and rotated around, and swept through the front of the position. An American soldier, who was looking out, was separated from his head along his shoulder by fragments, and his torn body fell straight into the trench. His blood and mud were mixed together, and the surroundings were dyed brown.
The face is completely different, like a peeled meatball-like head, rolled into the middle of the soldiers. The sound of vomiting and gasping made the trench no longer calm, and even a few new recruits who had not come for a long time were scared to cry.
Since the nightmare begins, it will not end so soon!
The 37mm rapid-fire gun on the tank truck kept strafing along the trenches, making all the U.S. soldiers unable to lift their heads. Under the protection of steel, the Xinhua soldiers carrying flamethrowers skillfully jumped into the crater and crawled on the ground and pulled the trigger.
The high-pressure gas atomizes the gasoline and gushes out through a thick nozzle. After being ignited by the igniter at the nozzle, it turns into a fire dragon up to dozens of meters long.
The fire dragon rushed out of the craters and swept along the trenches. Don't think that hiding in the trenches, the flames would only fly overhead. In fact, when the fire dragon swept over the trenches, a considerable part of the ignited oil and gas would fall into the tunnel under the disturbance of low-pressure air.
The point of Mars turned into a prairy fire in an instant. After the soldiers only felt a burst of heat on the helmet, they found that their eyebrows and clothes were burning.
The howling sound was louder than the dive bomber just now. Waves were taken to the distance by the mountain wind. All the American soldiers on the ridge next to them were sluggish. The high ground that had just resisted American courage had turned into a sea of fire. Countless and unknown compatriots jumped in the flames. It was finally scorched and shrank into a charred black child-sized thing.
After solving the high ground, Xinhua and Japanese soldiers jumped into the trenches at a speed, as if they had been injected into the ditch, and spread around the impact along the trenches until the whole mountain raised a white flag.
A pair of leather boots climbed to the top of the mountain with meat mud, looking at the next goal in the distance, New Orleans!
"From here to the southwest, another 30 kilometers is New Orleans. The navy has shelled there a few days ago, and the U.S. military has no decent defense in this area. If the speed is fast, it can be taken down the day after tomorrow at the latest." The bran pointed to the distance and handed the telescope to Yongshan.
" By the way, didn't it mean that the navy suffered a loss in the Caribbean Sea? General Fang Jin rushed back to support. Why is there still an empty bombardment here?" The commander of an infantry division next to him asked.
"Ha ha, can the navy suffer losses?" The baked bran, who was promoted to the army's staff officer, smiled. Although no naval war reports have been sent in the past few days, and everyone can only figure out the news through the propaganda of the United States, how can the enemy's propaganda be counted, so he does not believe that the navy will lose troops as the American newspapers say and can't continue to fight.
"General Fang Jin left with the fleet, but left a few cruisers and destroyers to cooperate with us." The bran spread out the map and said, "We have collected about 15 ships, and the transport ships that arrived yesterday are also appropriate.
From Galveston Bay, we can reach Appalach Bay in one night at most. The first batch of them were three light regiments, which were protected by the navy and air force. I have estimated that if we can quickly establish the beachhead position, we can complete the follow-up troops and equipment delivery, so that we can hit at least 2 to 3 divisions across the Florida Peninsula before the 17th at the latest!
However, the command has not been ordered yet. I think it may be waiting for the navy!"
"Wait for the navy? What can the navy wait for? Is it possible that our army still relies on the navy to fight?!"
"There is no need for the navy when fighting, but if the navy can't transfer the U.S. [***] ships near Florida, it can't guarantee the safe landing of tens of thousands of soldiers! We can't take risks!"
"What should I do? What if there has been no news from the navy?
"Get ready. If there is no news in two days, I will call the headquarters in person." In the words of the officers, Yongshan frowned: "Speed up the clean-up of the battlefield as soon as possible and hand over all the prisoners of war to the Mexican army. The day after tomorrow, I will see the military flag planted in New Orleans! The matter of crossing the Gulf of Mexico cannot be left behind. Arrange as much heavy equipment as possible. The U.S. military's defense in Florida is much better than here.
And I believe that the navy will not let us down!"
.. In the early morning of July 12, 270 nautical miles west of Trinidad, deep in the Atlantic Ocean.
The accumulated clouds shrouded over the sea, and the wind was mixed with rolled up sea water sweeping across the deck. The 33,000-ton aircraft carrier turned into rag dolls thrown up and down in the children's hands, making a squeaking sound violently.
Compared with aircraft carriers and battleships, the escorted light patrols and destroyers are even more unbearable. Whenever there is a big wave, the bow will be involved in the waves, so that the recruits can't even take care of vomiting and doubt whether it will be overturned.
The continuous surges made the soldiers sleep unintentionally, lying on the boat, holding the washbasin, but no one said anything.
Except for the roar of the engine, there is no sound in the fleet. All the portholes are black, all the light sources are turned off, and even the navigation lights have been changed from red to a lighter milky yellow. Only the rotating radar tells the world that this is not a ghost fleet.
"It's been a whole day late."
In the flagship Xiqin, Zhu Houbin lit the watch with a flashlight: "I asked the captain just now, and the situation was not very good. He said that according to the current situation, there will be a new round of hurricanes by tomorrow evening at the latest. If we can't contact the Second Fleet before that, we must avoid the hurricane and postpone the rectification. An operation, and if we postpone it, we must also let the army postpone the crossing of the Gulf of Mexico.
In addition, I just received news from Panama that Jellico has strengthened the search intensity in the Caribbean and seems to have noticed something. If he can't take action, he will definitely guess that we have left there secretly.
Once this fact is confirmed, I think he will definitely use his means to re-enter the Caribbean Sea with all his strength, and the worst will also set up a defense line behind us, so that the sudden surname of the battle will not be reached, and once the intention is discovered by them early, maybe he will retreat to Washington to avoid the war!"
Listening to Zhu Houbin's analysis, the staff next to him also frowned. Only Le Fei was still like a javelin, standing by the porthole, and even the surging waves could not make him shake at all. He just asked faintly, "Hou Bin, is it possible to take off tomorrow morning?"
"It's hard." Zhu Houbin shook his head: "Unless God gives me a gap, I can't take off at all in this sea conditions, and the commander, you can think about it. Even if we can take off, if we attack Cape Verde by air, then the whole battle plan will be completely exposed. Jellico can get at least 5 days of preparation time, that Let's do it."
"I know, but we can't wait any longer. If it really doesn't work, we'll do the task of seducing Jelico. It's a big deal!" Le Fei's eyes were cold and said coldly, "I will go directly to the East Coast unless he is willing to hide in Chesapik Bay for the rest of his life!"
"Okay." Zhu Houbin took a breath and nodded: "I'll go to the captain of the sea. If I can't get in touch tomorrow morning, as long as the weather is better for an hour, I promise to destroy the Cape Verde base!"
" OK, send a light signal tomorrow morning."
"Commander!" Before Le Fei finished his words, the staff officer next to him suddenly pointed to the mast lamp in the distance of the wind and rain, and jumped up: "Langyu, Dengyu! Direction 170, distance 55 kilometers, radar radar received, signal source, same frequency signal source!"
"God, they are coming, the Second Task Force is coming! Hahaha."
After reading all the lanterns word by word, the staff suddenly jumped up like a child, and even a few tears of joy gushed out of Le Fei's eyes. After a day of missed the appointment, the second task force finally arrived on this stormy night!
"Send a signal, turn to the south, let's get out of here!"
"Sent a destroyer to contact the Second Task Force and tell General He Wenyu that he will go north at full speed immediately after shelling Cape Verde at 10 a.m. tomorrow, and I will follow him!"
"The contact machine is ready to take off at any time!"
In the exploding bridge, after Lefei gave a series of orders, he suddenly opened the hatch next to him, looked at the clouds accumulated above his head, exhaled deeply, and said calmly, "Gentlemen, go and tell every general.
Tonight! We will meet the storm.
Starting tomorrow, we will replace their God and decide the future of the world.
I need everyone to be ready!"
