Boom boom boom boom...

The infantry charge that the Americans expected did not appear immediately. Instead, the mortar shells fell into the trench like raindrops, and then there was a flash of artillery fire! If the focus of the artillery preparation for the previous hour was to destroy the US defensive positions and clear obstacles for the offensive forces, then the hundreds of mortars deployed at the forefront of the Chinese army opened fire again, the purpose of killing the US military's livelihood to the maximum extent! And it was when the Chinese infantry attack was about to begin!

This time, the real flesh and blood were flying everywhere! The US military in the trench then followed the first ray of morning light at dawn and could see the Chinese army forming an attack formation in front of their positions. At this time, where could they be allowed to go to the anti-aircraft shelter or the trenches behind them to avoid shells? They could only crowded into the broken trenches and be bombed by cannons! They were immediately blew up by mortar fire. The artillery fire kept lifting the corpses of the US infantry and various broken weapons out of the trenches, throwing them everywhere. The shrapnel scattered around harvested a large number of Americans.

The country's life. This round of mortar bombardment caused casualties to the US infantry, which was comparable to the previous one and a half hours of gunfire. For these Americans who were bombarded by mortar for the first time, they were suffering in hell for the rest of their lives. Many of them were already mentally broken, stood up and ran around the position, and then were blown to pieces. Fortunately, such dense and accurate shelling did not last long. In less than five minutes, the explosion of the shell was replaced by the loud shouts of Chinese officers and soldiers.

The majestic slogan of "Long live the Ming Dynasty! Long live Donghua!" suddenly sounded on the plain. Countless soldiers held bayonet rifles and carried various blasting equipment on their backs. They bravely attacked their respective targets. Behind them, hundreds of machine guns fired fired by 40mm rapid-fire cannons, and sometimes the "bang bang" sound made by the US military reinforced concrete bunker.

The US military, who had just survived a rain of bullets in the sea of ​​fire, discovered in horror that there were patches of Chinese soldiers in front of them. They stepped on the smoke and fire, as if the God of Death who had emerged from hell rushed over unstoppably!

"The Chinese infantry has launched an attack! Now our position has been greatly damaged by the Chinese artillery fire. Reinforcements are urgently needed! Reinforcements are needed immediately!"

"The Chinese infantry has broken into my first line of defense, and our soldiers are fighting to the death. Our troops urgently need reinforcements! Now is the critical moment!"

In the Missouri Front Command of the US Army in Des Moines, a call of emergency came from the newly repaired line. The originally stable command finally showed a little panic.

Zhu Juan, who is in charge of the troops in the Frontier Observatory, also issued a stern order: "We must occupy the front line of the US military in Council Bluffs before 12 o'clock noon and block the rear area of ​​the US military with firepower. Before the two wings of the US military and the rear forces come to reinforce, we must seize this place. If the US military organizes a counterattack, we will use firepower to kill them the most! Create favorable conditions for the second wave of raids. Defeat them, crush them, and eliminate them, and victory will definitely belong to us!"

...

The black soil stirred by the shells hit the trenches like raindrops. The 14th Ministries of Brooklyn, nicknamed the Red-legged Devil, were mostly veterans who had experienced many wars. It can be said that they fought from 1861 to 1875. However, such continuous and fierce shelling still made them feel like the sky and the earth were sinking. Everyone was curled up in the hasty reinforced trenches, enduring the violent turmoil on the ground. The shells fell one after another, and with the firepower of their counterattacks in this regard. There seemed to be no other sound in the world except for the endless huge roar.

The results achieved by the Donghua Army on the first morning of the "Autumn Wind Battle" were completely beyond the expectations of the US military. So many cannons were concentrated at one time, and mortars that had never appeared on the battlefield in the past were used. Various powerful firepower combined, causing unimaginable huge casualties to the officers and soldiers in the front-line positions of the US military. In the area with the most dense firepower, when the Chinese infantry rushed up, almost all the dead were dead! The first trench of the US military changed hands in the first round of charge of the Chinese army! In less than half a day, the Chinese army completely seized it.

The first line of defense of the US military, and the price paid can only be said to be slight according to the current positional warfare standards. Looking down from the air, a huge Chinese army protrusion has appeared in the middle of the US Missouri River Front. In front of this protrusion are two thin lines of reserve defense. Once these two lines of defense are broken, the Chinese army can tear a huge gap of more than 30 kilometers wide on the overall line of defense of the US military! Even if there are no armored troops in this era, such a huge defense gap is enough to collapse the US military's unrestrained Missouri River defense line as a whole.

The Imperial American Army Command in New York and the General Staff of the United States in Richmond of America of course realized the seriousness of the problem. At the same time, they also faced a dilemma - the large detour battle that they had been preparing for more than two months was about to start immediately. More than 250,000 cavalry had formed two huge cavalry groups, horses, vehicles and supplies were in place. With just one order, they could rush straight to the back of the Chinese army! And these cavalry were also the most important mobile force in the hands of the American Empire and the United States. Should we cancel the detour battle plan and quickly transfer these cavalry to the front line of Council Bluffs to block the gap? Although this deployment is safe, it gave up a great victory that is about to be obtained.

The Chinese army has concentrated all its forces on the Missouri River front line! Their rear must be extremely empty, and it is the opportunity to sweep with cavalry. And now is the season when wheat is ripe. There are golden wheat waves everywhere in the fields of Nebraska and Kansas. More than 200,000 cavalry do not have to worry about food at all. They can completely use food to the enemy. This greatly improves the mobility of the cavalry. If the main force of the Chinese army is restrained on the Missouri River front line, more than 200,000 cavalry can even sweep all the way to the Lordae Mansion, the Chinese army base camp.

After a short period of hesitation and exchange of opinions, the "big roundabout battle" was "also known as the assault forces of the Chinese army firmly blocked the Chinese army, and while smashing the Chinese army's assault, they quickly built a new line of defense in the deep area! While defending the front line of the Council Bluffs, the US troops on both wings must immediately launch an attack and restrain the Chinese army from moving towards the Council Bluffs protrusion.

At the same time, it also required the Alliance's Kansas cluster to immediately launch an attack on the enemy in front, and defeat the right wing of the Chinese army at all costs, forcing them to give up their offensive on the front line of the Council Bluffs. In short, it is time to see the heat in the bayonet! As long as you defend the Missouri River - Kansas, America will win the future! If you can't defend... more than one million troops were defeated by the Chinese army, then it would be meaningless even if the great detour battle succeeded. America will retreat east of the Missouri River!
