In the evening of July 25, Nimitz led the t48 main fleet to head south, but did not walk along the coastline, but was closer to the southeast. Hewitt and Patton seized the time to get the troops of the First Army Division and the First Cavalry Division boarded the ship.

Although Clark was not very satisfied with Patton's rushing into the army to grab the equipment of other troops, it was the order of the Joint Conference. In addition, this unit was also responsible for landing behind enemy lines, so he could only accept it helplessly.

The situation on the front line is still deteriorating:

Starting from the early morning, the US Army Air Force continued to dispatch motive groups to attack the German army, trying to stop the German ground troops from advancing rapidly and gain time for the deployment of its second line of defense.

Shoken has already moved the troops to the deep mountainous areas in advance, and the losses are not large. US Army Airlines fought with German fighter jets, and piles of ta-152, do-412, p-51, a-26, b-24 fell to the ground. Although the number of US aircraft was larger, the Luftwaffe, which had been fighting in Europe, was very skilled after all, and kept seizing the opportunity to bleed the US Army Air Force. At the same time, the whirlwind self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, 88mm anti-aircraft guns and ball lightning also restrained the US Army Air Force's offensive.

The fierce air battle from morning to afternoon, the German army lost 31 fighter jets, the US army lost 75 fighter jets and attack aircraft, with a combat loss ratio of nearly 1:2.5, and the German army also lost more than 10 tanks (armored vehicles)

At around 6 pm, in the afterglow of the sunset, the German-190-ground attack group, which had not shown its face all day, suddenly appeared from a low altitude, pouring a large number of burning bombs, rockets, and aviation bombs onto the US military's positions, blowing the entire line of defense into pieces, and using fierce firepower to declare the curtain of the night battle. After more than an hour, the rapidly advancing German offensive forces began to attack the second line of defense of the US military.

This place is only more than 100 kilometers away from Victoria, built on the Dorsey River and Lynaris. Due to its larger width, the defense system is not as strong as the first line of defense regardless of the density of troops. In addition, the new defeat of the US military, the remnants of the defeated soldiers who retreated from the front transmitted the defeat to the two regiments that were originally deployed here, especially in an extremely terrifying tone, they portrayed the "steel rain falling in the air and overwhelmingly covered the sky" of the Sherman organ and the precise shooting from German tanks 2,000 meters away, which made the morale plummet.

Before the arrival of the Shoken assault group, the more than 7,000 US troops were already in a panic. It was entirely the strong support of the mainland aviation that allowed them to hold on. After the German-190 launched a ground attack in the evening, the panic atmosphere reached its highest level.

As night fell, the US military aircraft group retreated and rested for most of the day. The German army, which fully replenished fuel and ammunition, set off an offensive craze. The two heavy armored battalions of 508 and 509 took the lead and attacked suddenly. There was a Tiger tank battalion behind them unfolding on the entire line. The Sherman organ poured out fire without hesitation. The US army immediately wavered that not only had more numbers than them, but also had better quality. What's more troublesome is that the German shells were extremely accurate in the night, and the US army's own shells often didn't know where they flew.

Although Hewitt sent a cruiser team to provide emergency naval gun support, there were nearly 800 kilometers of sea routes from El Salvador to this place. Even though the fleet rushed to the fastest, it was still more than 200 kilometers away from the war zone.

In addition to infantry, the US military guarding the second line of defense also had two heavy battalions and one artillery battalion. The artillery has been almost completely cleaned by the German ground attack aircraft group. The infantry obviously can't help much in this kind of tank war. The only ones that can rely on are their own tank battalions and tank destroyer battalions.

The tanks of the United States and Germany were shot against each other through the Dorsey River. The m26, m36 and m4 used by the US military were obviously not the German tiger style. The opponents of Tiger 2 and Sherman organs were constantly hit and exploded or caught fire. However, the German tanks were incredibly tough, and the two sides formed an extremely sharp contrast...

In less than an hour, the US military was defeated in a fierce battle, losing a total of 29 tanks, but only barely destroyed 4 Tiger styles and 2 Tiger 2.

This huge exchange ratio was unbearable for the Americans, and the two armored battalions had to fight and retreat while fighting, hoping to distance themselves and rely on the Dorsey River to block the German army's pace of continued attack. For this reason, the US military also blew up a crucial road bridge in advance.

Seeing this performance by the US military, Shaoken, who was commanding in front, showed an undetectable smile: he knew that Dorsey was not so easy to live. He had sent two armored grenade battalions and one Leopard battalion, and one Assault Anti-Tank Battalion (carrying 88mm anti-tank guns) to detour upstream. Otherwise, after taking Victoria, he should have pushed it over with one go instead of waiting until now.

By the time the frontal attack on the US military began, the detour troops had basically been deployed. As the battle across the river entered a fierce attack, the detour troops quietly blocked the US military's retreat.

At around 8 o'clock, the US military had just gathered its troops back from the river bank and prepared to regroup. The German roundabout troops behind him began to fight out, killing the US soldiers and causing chaos.

In the battle just now, the US tanks basically faced the German heavy armored battalion head-on across the river, exposing the fragile side and rear to the German roundabout troops. Although the leopard and assaulters were not strong in frontal defense, they were equipped with 88mm tank guns that could eat people, each shot was accurate.

More importantly, the US military was completely unprepared for the German army's roundabout actions and was caught off guard.

The German armored grenades equipped with half-tracked combat vehicles played an efficient assault role. The two battalions unfolded in fan shapes, using mg42, stg43 and recoilless cannons to clean up the panicked US infantry. The latter's fortifications faced the opposite shore like tanks, and there was no defense fortification at all. They rushed over and crossed the positions. The "snatch the gun but don't kill" shouts of surrender were heard everywhere, and then the American soldiers surrendered one after another.

But unexpected situations also happened: the remaining 442nd Regiment of Japanese-American troops were still fighting and launched a desperate attack with various weapons. "Onboard" sounds were heard everywhere on the positions, and even launched suicide attacks. The fierce explosions and gunshots made Shao Ken and others watching the battle in the river inexplicably. The command vehicle-mounted radio stations often heard the exclaims of military officers: "The Japanese soldiers in the hands of the US military are crazy, they are carrying out suicide attacks!"

"Bastard, we are the German army! Put down our weapons! We treat Japanese prisoners with preferential treatment!"

This scene made the three Japanese observers (two middle-level and one colonel) who were attacking with the troops so angry that they were filled with smoke: when attacking Rio, a US division could have been eliminated, but the 442nd Regiment forced them to interfere and rescued them. Last night, the 442nd Regiment covered the US retreat. Today, they played suicide attacks, which made these observers unable to raise their heads.

"Baga! Baga! How could there be such a scum in the Japanese Empire!"

"Sir, don't show mercy, shoot them all!"

Under the counterattack and blocking of the defeated generals of the 442nd Regiment, some of the US military officers and soldiers who were originally very shaken and were ready to surrender took the opportunity to pick up their weapons again, but not many people stayed to fight against the German army. Most of them were still looking for trucks and armored vehicles nearby, and were preparing to break out of the encirclement under the leadership of the tanks. Except for the 442nd Regiment, who would like to play suicide attacks and on-board charges?

The German army spent a lot of effort to finally suppress the chaos caused by these hundreds of Japanese American troops. Although they only accounted for one-sixth of the US military, the German casualties accounted for two-thirds. If other US troops had not just run away and ran away, they would have caused more trouble to the detoured troops.

By 12 o'clock in the evening, the detour troops finally controlled the scene. The Japanese soldiers who played on-board attacks were either killed by the German army or died in suicide charges. Only a very small number of people escaped from the encirclement.

After hard work, the Shaoken cluster captured the second line of defense with a beautiful clamp-shaped offensive. At this time, the US support fleet had arrived less than 50 kilometers away from the coast, but the US military could no longer wait for the naval gun support.

The US military unit has a total of nearly 100 tanks/tanks (including the US military that retreated from the first line of defense). More than 50 were destroyed by the German army during the battle, more than 20 were captured, and only more than 20 escaped. Many people just gladly escaped from the German encirclement last night, but they didn't expect to be arrested the next day and knew why they had to escape like this!

During the battle, more than 7,000 American soldiers were captured by the German army (including the wounded), nearly 2,000 were killed (nearly half were Japanese soldiers of the 442nd Regiment), and more than 2,000 people escaped to the siege and fled north. What shocked Shaoken and other German officers was that only more than 20 Japanese soldiers were captured and surrendered (of which 10 were in coma after being injured). He said to the Japanese observer with a heavy expression: "The descendants of your country are so brave, but unfortunately they are incorrect."

The three observers were ashamed and bowed together: "Sir, I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble."

Shaoken waved his hand: "Forget it, it's not your fault. We also have the American SS Division here. It is said that they are quite brave on the Eastern Front, much braver than they used to be."

A staff officer muttered in a low voice: "This must be a problem with the American system."

Shaoken smiled, the American system, alas... Fortunately, Americans are not good at fighting. If they have good equipment, rich materials, large population, and strong industry, they can fight. Will Germany still have a place in the world?

"Sir, I just interrogated the prisoners and learned that there was an American fleet coming to support me!" Lieutenant Colonel Boer, the Sauken Cluster Operations Staff, reported the situation.

Shaoken was very surprised and also very fortunate that if the two sides were fighting fiercely, it would be troublesome to shoot the US warships: "Quickly clean the battlefield, stay away from the coastline, and don't expose too much light to avoid being noticed by the enemy."

Due to the lack of reliable instructions from the shore army and the poor sighting situation at night, the commander of the US fleet hesitated and finally gave up the artillery. Not only did he give up the artillery, but he also took the warships to the deep sea to avoid ambushing by shore-based artillery soldiers.
