Chapter 461: The 1st Marine Division can pass, but the bridge must be blown up
The offensive was as fierce as ever, and the firepower even exceeded that of the American-equipped division of the Eagle Sauce.
The main forces of the three armies, the spearhead troops, attacked and attacked continuously, causing the defensive positions to cease fire continuously.
Under the bombardment, a large number of wounded soldiers appeared.
The wounded are an important constraint on the defending forces, and more manpower is needed to take care of them.
Smith asked the plane to transport the wounded first to resolve his worries so that he would have the courage to continue fighting with Ding Wei's troops.
There was no need to think about a head-on battle. When both sides were firing at each other at full speed, the division commander figured it out.
Unable to defeat the enemy, the troops must retreat as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the entire unit would likely die in the southern area of Changjin Lake.
Christmas?
turkey?
What the hell are you eating turkey?
The shells whistled and exploded near the headquarters, which meant that the enemy's offensive was getting closer and closer and could threaten the division headquarters.
They had to rely on aircraft assistance to blast open a path to survival.
A network of relationships is sometimes also a kind of capability. The 1st Marine Division can mobilize 500 aircraft from the Navy for support.
You can also apply for army aircraft to join the battlefield.
When dense groups of aircraft appeared near the battlefield, the Tianshu fighters waiting for combat also took off one after another. The scale was even greater than last time, with more numbers and better preparations for combat.
Although the enemy had more fighter planes, the pilot took off without hesitation.
At the same time, more than 200 propeller fighters took off, their purpose was to intercept the bombers.
The purpose of the Tianshu is to fight against the Sabre fighters.
The aerial fight began, with both sides opening with rocket fire, with air-to-air rockets whizzing and exploding in mid-air.
The violent explosion halo damaged several fighter planes.
The Tianshu No. 2 fighter jets led by Li Weitian formed a formation of three in a group and fired rockets at the target enemy aircraft.
The flying rockets have inertial guidance effect, higher accuracy and stronger strike capability.
Rockets exploded continuously in the air, blowing off the tail of the plane.
Planes fell from the sky one after another.
Both sides opened fire at full force at the beginning of the battle. The fighter jets climbed up first, and after gaining the advantage of climbing, they dived down to look for targets.
Then repeated BZ, high-speed dive, and rapid climb.
Use superior climbing ability and accurate and powerful machine guns to attack enemy aircraft.
Despite their small number, they relied on their superior performance to attack the Eagle Sauce's support aircraft from the flank of the fleet.
The anti-aircraft artillery units below also joined the battle, focusing on attacking bombers and low-flying Eagle fighter planes.
The shells filled the sky, casting a gray shadow over the entire sky.
There was artillery fire flying below, and the flames and air waves of the explosion were surging.
The smoke raised by the gunpowder covered the sky and also had a certain impact on the bombing by aircraft.
The two ace main forces were fighting here, cannon against cannon, plane against plane. The only pity was that the tanks were backward and could not engage in head-on armored confrontation.
Fortunately, the anti-tank firepower at hand is sufficient, coupled with the advantage in troop strength, which is enough to make up for the lack of armored firepower.
The troops of the three armies quickly surrounded the enemy, pressed forward continuously, and attacked fiercely.
The battlefield spread over a large area, and the roar of the explosions was deafening.
On a battlefield of this scale, a single company is no longer able to interfere with the victory of the battle, so we have to rely on artillery and fighter planes flying all over the sky.
Fighters fought each other and still maintained a very high exchange ratio.
The superior Tianshu fighters, especially the dozen or so extra Tianshu 2 fighters, have absolute firepower advantage.
The continuous shooting down of F-86 fighter jets made the American pilots grit their teeth.
They want to use the method of balancing and turning to get rid of the machine gun's lock, but the attackers can make multiple mistakes, and they will be hit by the machine gun if they make one mistake.
When competing with the MiG-15, the Tianshu fighter's shooting accuracy was amazing enough.
When really fighting on the battlefield, any adjustments that help with shooting will enhance the fighter's lethality.
The arrogant United States had to admit one thing: the F-86 fighter jets could not compete with the Tianshu aircraft, but they could still provide support to the battlefield by relying on their numerical advantage.
But the losses on our side were huge. Within half an hour of the exchange of fire, more than 30 planes had crashed.
Ding Wei's planes were very precious, so there was no other choice. Let the fighters circle around the periphery and shoot down as many enemy planes as possible without entering too many scorched areas.
The troops on the ground can only leave it to fate.
There is no way. It’s our fault that we are lagging behind and that we don’t have enough fighter planes. We can only make up for it by relying on human lives.
Encircle and annihilate, win by will.
The heavy mortars were firing at full power, and shells were falling continuously on the hilltop, one after another, one shot after another.
If I have to describe it with a scene, it would be similar to New Year's Eve more than a decade ago, when the sky full of firecrackers and fireworks was enough to drown the ocean.
The artillery fire from Xiajieyu was enough to annihilate all ground forces.
Smith was covered in dust and dirt. A shell landed above the command post and was blocked by the anti-artillery fortifications.
But the headquarters was filled with dust and everyone was under the pressure of the impact of the shells.
The tanks were gathering, not to fight, but to retreat to the south.
The bombers dropped incendiary bombs in a line that spread over more than ten kilometers.
The blazing fire melted the ice and snow. Standing near the fire, the weather suddenly changed from winter to summer.
Relying on tanks and armored vehicles, they quickly broke through the siege and retreated to the south.
My heart is bleeding. There were heavy casualties. The position was forcibly abandoned and the heavy weapons that could not be taken away in time had to be destroyed.
Planes crashed one after another, unable to withstand interception and attack, and the losses were equally huge.
Ding Wei suddenly issued a new combat order, gathering towards the Watergate Bridge, and all fighter planes bombed the enemy's retreating forces.
Polaris rockets attacked the bridge.
The stored ammunition and rocket launchers that looked like small gold bars were all pulled out and fired.
As long as he blew up this bridge, Ding Wei had a hunch that the reward would be greater than anything he had ever received before.
Between the choice of blowing up the bridge and annihilating the 1st Marine Division, he resolutely chose the former, letting a few thousand defeated soldiers escape, which was just a worthless thing.
Once superior rewards are obtained, it will be enough to further enhance Manchuria’s military and industrial strength.
The example of the Tianshu fighter was placed in front, and the reward for blowing up the bridge was something Ding Wei must get.
At the same time, this bridge is also the only route for the 1st Marine Division to escape. Blowing it up is enough to destroy the enemy's retreat route.
The artillery fire changed direction and spread towards the rear.
Shells fell one after another nearby, and there was a special blasting team working with high-powered blasting explosives.
With a loud bang, Ding Wei's mind flashed with the reward for blowing up the bridge.
This bridge is a matter of life and death for an entire division of the United States Army, a bridge that is powerful enough to reverse the tide of battle. Its popularity far exceeds all previous ones.
[Destroy the southern bridge and accidentally obtain a copy of naval research data, including detailed production data of aircraft carriers, submarines, and destroyers; accidentally obtain a copy of medium-range missile research data, including medium-range cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, anti-ship missiles, etc.; a copy of the experimental data of the Russian and American reactors. ]
Missiles, aircraft carriers, everything Ding Wei had been thinking about, all appeared amid the explosion of the bridge.
