A week after the landing of the Huaxing Army at Annapolis, all logistical support work was in place.The five army groups of the army, all of which were drawn out, attacked the American defense line in Washington.The 500,000-strong army was also equipped with an artillery unit, 500 towed guns, and 250 ironclad chariots.The U.S. military built the first line of field defense 100 miles away, dug trenches two meters deep, and multi-layered defense composed of bunkers, pillboxes, and barbed wire.This defensive zone was far from the sea, and the navy could not provide assistance, so it could only be detected by carrier-based aircraft and then supported by the Mexican air force.The Navy's mission was to send small warships north along the Potomac River to bomb Washington's American fortifications in preparation for the Huaxing Army's next step to completely take Washington.After a day's march, the armies moved into their positions.The U.S. troops were already in the trenches, waiting for the infantry of the Huaxing Army to attack.The scouts of the Huaxing Army quickly reconnoitred the terrain of the front line, quickly identified the various bombing targets, and the artillery units and air force units were dispatched by the Supreme Command.A kilometer in front of the US trenches was not only protected by barbed wire, but also covered with mines and bunkers made of cement and stone.Wu Xuming did not go to the front line, but worked in Annapolis with peace of mind, and was thinking about other things.The battle on the front line was under the unified command of Chu Tianyue, and the five military districts of the three eastern provinces followed him to fight in Europe, and they had long been able to take charge on their own.There are 200,000 U.S. troops stationed here, 100,000 in Washington, D.C., and 300,000 militiamen.The Huaxing army was separated from them by a kilometer, almost surrounding their defensive line layer by layer.All the American troops on the position felt great pressure, and all of them were waiting for the position, not knowing why the Huaxing Army did not launch an attack.The day after the arrival of the Huaxing army, dawn had just passed.The U.S. troops had eaten breakfast in the trenches, and the rising sun was obscured by a dark shadow.This black shadow was not a dark cloud, accompanied by a roar, and soon reached the top of the American army."
Air attack, it's an airplane, hurry up and dodge" There were bursts of exclamations in the trenches of the US army, and commanders at all levels immediately shouted, running in the trenches to let the soldiers lie down and dodge.It's too late, it's too soon.The sky was already densely covered with a rain of bullets, falling in the thousands of meters of no-man's land built by the US military.Explosions rang out, shaking the ground and tumbling.Dust rose to the sky along with gunsmoke, completely obscuring the entire position of the American army.The barbed wire, bunkers, and bunkers that the US military had worked so hard to build were all destroyed at this moment.Just like the scum of tofu, it was torn apart by the bomb, leaving pieces of debris on the battlefield.The U.S. troops hiding in the bunker were directly shocked and collapsed by the power of the bomb and buried alive inside.Bombs bounced around the position, shrapnel in a row, and wreaked havoc throughout the battlefield.Wherever the shrapnel went, there were wails and blood splatters.The swarm of 2,000 planes brought about a devastation that the US military could never imagine.The earth seemed to be cracking open at this time, and everywhere was dusty, shrapnel raged, and smoke billowed from gunpowder, and it was completely a bloody slaughterhouse.In the aftermath of the air raids, the remaining value of the US positions was broken everywhere.Before they could catch their breath, the artillery units of the Huaxing Army launched another bombardment.The air raids were mainly aimed at the no-man's land outside the trenches of the US troops, and the artillery units were mainly aimed at targeted targets.Through the reconnaissance of the scouts and the air force, the artillery positions, logistics offices, command centers, and various high-rise pillboxes of the US military positions have been clearly identified.The artillery units quickly aimed at these targets according to the coordinates, and the artillery units of the US army were like blind men, just trying to wait for the Huaxing Army to launch an attack before reacting.Their abacus was not well played, in fact, when the US army first entered the battlefield, it had become a meal on the plate of the Huaxing Army.The 500 army guns quickly fired a salvo, and the shells whizzed through the sky, smashing like meteors on all sides of the American positions.The first to be hit was the artillery unit of the US military, because New China monopolized rubber technology, and it was only in the 20 th century that countries around the world successively attached importance to this technology and began to plant rubber on a large scale.This kind of thing was used on a large scale in various fields, especially the invention of tires, which led to the introduction of various motor vehicles.A large number of US artillery units are pulled by manpower and animal power, and the horses on the artillery positions have long been killed and wounded in the bursts of bombardment by the plane group just now.After the artillery of the Huaxing Army began to strike at fixed points, the artillery units of the US army, not to mention rescuing a few artillery pieces, even the artillery itself could not be protected.The whole sky was covered with shells, and they didn't know where they were coming from, and they didn't have time to flee at all.These shells were like eyes, and they fell exactly at the American artillery positions.From the beginning to the end, not a single bomb was wasted, and after completely destroying thousands of artillery pieces of the American army, all of them finally stopped.Commander Mitchell was about to cry, these cannons were his killer weapon, and they were to be used when the Huaxing army was attacking.Mitchell did not agree to give them the artillery of the 200,000 troops that had been transferred to New York.These guns were of various types, as well as old-fashioned breech guns, all of which Mitchell had collected.really died before he could get out of school, and he was blown up into a pile of scrap metal before he showed up.This is nothing, the bombardment of the artillery unit by the Huaxing Army has just ended, and it immediately aimed its guns at other targets.Mitchell's command center is inside, and in most positional battles, the command center is located in a specific area.Huaxingjun is not an immortal, and it can't be judged so accurately, and the attack on the command area is still divided into many targets.As soon as the artillery fire rang out, all the areas in the rear that were suspected to be the command center of the US military were subjected to covered shelling.Before Mitchell could come out of the artillery annihilation, the shells above his head whistled and fell.The subordinate behind him was quick and immediately shouted, "Commander, be careful" and flew forward and threw him into the trench.A loud "boom" of shells exploded behind them, and the bunkers built in the trenches were suddenly blown apart.Mitchell's ears were ringing, and after stumbling to his feet, the general who was protecting him had already lost his breath.The infantry of the Huaxing Army had already begun to attack at this time, and the guns and cannons on the position were constantly sounding, and there was chaos."
Devil, I'm going to kill you" Mitchell stumbled and tried to climb the trench to check the situation, but was pulled by the staff officer behind him.Guarded by the guards, he was immediately pulled to the rear of the battlefield.Under the suppression of the strong firepower of the Huaxing army, the American troops retreated from the first line of trenches one after another.After the Huaxing army launched an attack, the first thing to rush out of the position was 250 ironclad chariots.On land, it was like a fierce tiger, roaring madly and rushing towards the American army
