In the quiet night, the sudden lights and roars appeared, especially so suddenly. They used a slow speed within 2 kilometers before, and the sound was not loud. Now the roar at full speed and the lights were rising, which immediately made such a sound from all directions. This kind of movement could not not attract the attention of Salt Lake City. They were always guarding against being attacked, but no one expected that the enemy was already in front of them.

Mark has always arranged defense lines on the periphery of Salt Lake City. As an officer who once served in the army, he knew the arrangement of the military formation. Although he had less than 700 National Guards and 3,000 people in his hand, he was able to deal with the same number of horse bandits under his large number of barricades and trenches. Even if the regular American troops with less than 1,500 people, he would not have been able to enter Salt Lake City. Unfortunately, he chose the wrong opponent. He faced not only the real regular army, but also the formal army carefully selected from the Japanese army, but also a fully mechanized army. The area he focused on protecting was only part of the entire Salt Lake City. There were at least 100 tanks, and they could enter Salt Lake City from various places.

"What is it?" Mark hurried to the front line. At this time, the tank was still 1,000 meters away. Although the roar was endless, in the bright light, he only saw countless headlights, and could not see the true shape of the tank. It was not until about 600 meters. With the help of the lights of Salt Lake City, he could barely see what was attacking. Even Mark couldn't help but be surprised.

The one who rushed over was not the horse bandits, but the tanks. He was able to know the tanks, and thanks to the location of Salt Lake City, all the tanks on the Alaska front passed by here, and there were even several armies. He rested in Salt Lake City for one night. As the head of the garrison, he and Henry welcomed the leaders of the armored forces and discussed tanks with them.

This kind of new weapon with extraordinary strength was just born, which was very interesting to Mark. He had been away from the main force for 12 years. Although he was promoted to the regiment commander, he even wanted to go to the main force. He was preparing to go to the cavalry or light infantry units. The appearance of tanks gave him another opportunity, and even took the opportunity to ask the officers of these tank units a lot of advice.

Thick armor, super maneuverability, and abundant firepower are simply the nemesis of the trench groups and infantry. Apart from the fact that there are many faults and the lack of reliability, there are no other shortcomings. He even specially rode in tanks and carefully observed the appearance of the tank. In the shimmer environment, what he saw was almost the same as those who had passed by Salt Lake City.

The darkness blocks the difference between tanks. Japanese tanks are derived from seizures, which are eight or nine points similar to American tanks. China's transformation is power and internal results. There is no major adjustment to the general shape. It seems that there is not much difference from American tanks. It is Mark's understanding of tanks that made him feel incredible. What is going on? It is definitely impossible for the horse bandits to get tanks. The relaxed US military preparations do not mean that the United States can relax various weapons, and even explosives are rarely released, let alone machine guns and tanks.

At most, the horse bandits have some light weapons. Occasionally, some cannons are also old-style artillery. Some of them can even be traced back to more than 20 years ago. The horse bandits only got new weapons that were not long after they came to the United States. This is impossible.

Could it be the rebels, more than an hour ago, the confusion of the dispatched troops appeared in front of Mark again. He looked at the tanks getting closer and closer, and cold sweat kept rising on his head. Even though he thought he was full of wisdom, he had no choice but to face the crushing of absolute power.

What happened and why there was a tank attack? When all the information was reported to Henry, Henry was also very surprised. As the highest commander of the state and responsible for Utah's politics and military, he thought he had done a very good job, but this was based on a small group of horse bandits, not like this. Under the large number of armored forces, especially from the lights, there were thousands of these tanks, rushing from three directions to Salt Lake City. The positions he arranged at four entrances were probably really unable to stop them.

Henry was at a loss, but Mark on the front line began to defend and discovered these tanks, especially the tanks siege the city on three sides, besieging them. They could not escape. No matter how fast the people ran, how could they run past the tank? Under Mark's command, they began attacking and arranged at four entrances. Each entrance had about 2 heavy machine guns. Their voices sounded first. Unfortunately, heavy machine guns have a huge killing effect on unprotected infantry and cavalry, especially on the barricade, which had enough defense, but it was useless against tanks. The armor on the front was the strongest tank, and there were also machine guns on the tank, and there were two. From the comparison of machine guns, the attacker was far above the defender.

About 600 meters away from Salt Lake City, the tank's machine guns began to fight back. The powerful barrage directly annihilated Salt Lake City. The dense bullets immediately made the machine guns of Salt Lake City silent. Even the soldiers guarding the front line were suppressed by countless barrages and could not raise their heads.

The American barricades were still quite solid. When the machine gun attacked, they did not break the barricades. Unfortunately, this was useless. After several attacks, when the machine gun could not raise its head, the tanks slowly approached and bypassed a little bit of the barricade. The Japanese side was also worried about the US military's counterattack with explosives and cluster grenades. These tanks emphasized mobility and were insufficient in terms of protection. When entering the city, sufficient distance must be ensured, otherwise they would rather not attack.

Several camps located at the entrances and exits did resist the attacks of dozens of tanks, which made Mark slightly happy. He only knew the tanks a little, but he did not expect that the tanks were blocked so simply. It seemed that they might be able to block the tank's attack outside of Salt Lake City.

Mark didn't know about tanks, nor did he know that tanks could be attacked with explosives or cluster bombs. Japan was not close to these barricades for safety. Moreover, these barricades could not resist tanks for a long time, because in the eyes of tanks, Salt Lake City did not have so many entrances.

Salt Lake City is a city where railways emerge. It has formed at least 20,000 houses around the railway. With various buildings, it forms the main body of Salt Lake City. Although there are many brick and stone structures with defense capabilities far above Ogden, it does not mean that there are no wooden houses. Among all the structures, wooden structures are the most cost-effective, because the huge territory of the United States, huge forests, and close to Canada, there are more forests in Canada. As long as you develop a little, the developed forest is enough for Americans to use. Compared with brick and tile cement made of soil, wood is easy to build and cheap.

In Salt Lake City, most of the early buildings were wooden, and only after the construction of the Pacific Railway was built, there were more brick and stone structures. However, outside the city and on the edges, most of the houses were wooden. In the eyes of Mark, these houses could block the steps of the tanks, but they did not know that they became entrances in front of the tanks. Like Ogden, countless high-explosive bombs were shot into the houses. During the explosion, these houses ignited fires. In the hot fire, the structure of the houses changed and collapsed, and finally, a road was opened. This road took a long time, more than half an hour, but when the tanks bypassed the barricades and rushed from behind, countless machine gun bullets shot from behind at the soldiers on the barricades, the overall situation was decided.

The tanks behind cleared the soldiers who were soldiers who were blocking the barricades. At this time, the tanks blocking the outside rushed in immediately. When dozens of tons of tanks rushed directly to the barricades, the barricades had no ability to resist. The tanks rushed into Salt Lake City directly, and the killing began. The shortcomings of the defenders of Salt Lake City were shown here. No matter how much Mark arranged it, he could only arrange some soldiers in the direction of the four entrances and some core areas inside. With less than 4,000 people, he guarded a city with dozens of square kilometers and a population of more than 60,000 people. He was very stretched and was dealing with armored forces. When the armored forces entered the interior of Salt Lake City one by one and rampant along the way of the salt lake city, the entire Salt Lake City was in full swing.

The fires ignited in Ogden also started in Salt Lake City, and Salt Lake City burned even more powerful because Salt Lake City is larger and has more buildings. Even when high-explosive bombs attack more, even some brick and stone structures would ignite fires, but it was not as easy as wooden structures. The ruthless flames devoured human lives. The entire Salt Lake City became a desperate territory, and the south, which undoubtedly did not receive the attack, became the only direction for these people to escape. Mark was the first to be the brunt of it. After all, the barricades at the entrance were captured, he retreated. As an officer, he knew very well what would be greeted if he had not blocked these tanks at the entrance, death or despair. He had to escape from the city. Only the vast field could escape the pursuit of tanks in the dark. The United States was too big. After all, the tanks came were a minority and could not be spread throughout the United States.
