Chapter 1843 Who did it

After more than a day of rapid march, even advancing day and night, the special forces arrived in Sacramento at around 4 a.m., and placed bombs and retreated. By the time the explosives were detonated, it was already 6 a.m. The summer day was relatively long. At 6 a.m., the sky was already bright, but the visibility was not high. The fog was always spreading around the city. The nearest bridge was about 15 kilometers away from the city.

The telescope could not see it. The defenders in the city hesitated for a moment. They did not wait until the sky was completely dawn and directly sent out troops. In the western United States, the number of horses was quite large. Among the regular army, there was basically a cavalry force. There was a cavalry regiment in Sacramento, and the commander sent two cavalrymen. They only took half an hour to complete the preparation and came here.

Seeing the cavalry coming out, Zhou Xing relaxed slightly. It was not just a river patrol company. No matter how powerful the cavalry was, he could not cross the river. Only the patrol company poses the greatest threat to them. Their gunboats can easily drive on the river. The 6-inch to 8-inch cannons can easily shoot more than 8 kilometers of range. They really found traces of special forces, which was quite a big threat. Maybe any artillery fire would cover them and cause considerable casualties. This is absolutely unacceptable for Chinese special forces. Even the explosives that were so dangerous to infiltrate were successfully completed and the explosives arranged were impossible to be chased by the opponent when retreating and cause damage.

The distance of 15 kilometers is just over 20 minutes for the cavalry. When they set off, it was almost 7 o'clock. The sky was already bright. It was about 7 kilometers away from the bridge. It was the fast horse galloped for about 10 minutes. Because the sun was gradually rising, the fog dissipated, and the visibility gradually increased. These American soldiers saw a scene that was unforgettable in their lives. Four bridges connecting the railway were all left.

All the important transportation hubs that connect east and west were all gone. These bridges are important bridges of the Pacific Railway, two of which are railway and highway bridges. They shoulder the important task of connecting Nevada and other cities in California. Similarly, they disappeared without a trace. For a moment, Sacramento became an isolated city. The lonely city surrounded by four waterways, except for water transportation, was paralyzed.

The cavalry team was a little confused. They were stunned by everything in front of them. After staying there for about a few minutes, the cavalry diverged. Ten cavalry turned around and returned. They needed to go back and report to the city. In the era when there were no radios and walkie-phones, the cavalry was the fastest way of communication. As for the rest, they still needed to figure out what was going on. Although there was a huge explosion, no one could guarantee that it would be destruction. If it was an earthquake or the bridge collapsed itself, it was possible that the bridge would be broken. In short, it was too unbelievable to be attacked.

This is just the best idea. Everyone knows that this is the bridge of the Pacific Railway. It has been running for 50 years and is the most important bridge of the eastern and western arteries in the United States. Even if it encounters certain force majeure and collapses, it will not collapse in a short time. It is not an attack. How is it possible? The current Sacramento garrison has entered a level one combat readiness, which is also the fundamental reason why they can come in within half an hour. However, when they leave the city, no one thinks they will find anything. Even if the Japanese attacked Salt Lake City and even destroyed a large number of Pacific Railways, the distance from them is at least 800 kilometers, and there is a central American mountain range in the middle. There is a natural danger here, and tanks cannot cross it. Even if they fly, they will not fly from there to here so quickly.

Reality gave them a huge slap in the face. Everything in front of them clearly told them that something big happened and all four bridges were destroyed. They came over quickly. Several bridges were about ten kilometers away from the city. The cavalry was able to reach the vicinity of the bridge in 20 minutes because they used a large amount of explosives, and there was a large amount of smoke that had not been dissipated on the bridge. They were very familiar with this smell. During training and exercises, such smell often smelled. Who was the smell of such a strong smell of smoke? How much explosives were used? Are they the Japanese?

The first thing the US military thought of was the Japanese. After all, in the propaganda, in the information they had, only the Japanese entered the United States and burned, killed, looted and burned, killed, looted, and did not have the ability to attack the other end of about a thousand kilometers, which was completely inconsistent with common sense of war. This was all risky, and the chance of success was very low. Once it failed, the Japanese responsible for execution would encounter a disaster. Who would issue such an order, and who would execute it?

In fact, Japan's Sakura Plan is on the surface a crazy death plan. Even before China modified the tank, the death rate of this plan was quite high. The reason why it was able to operate until now is that the United States was not prepared, and on the other hand, it also had a huge relationship with China's support. Japan used the tanks during World War I, and enjoyed the second time, even the air force support after World War II. Even if there was no direct attack on the ground, just reconnaissance was enough to increase Japan's confidentiality by several levels.

These US troops did not think so deeply. Standing on the river bank, the cavalry carefully searched the other side of the river and the other side. The perpetrators they wanted to find were not back empty-handed. They were considered fast enough. The perpetrators should not run far, right? If it was a traditional method, it might have only been a few kilometers in 50 minutes, but this was not a traditional method of causing the accident. It was detonated 20 minutes after the explosives were arranged. For special forces trained, 20 minutes was enough to run 5 kilometers. Even after the explosion, the US troops arrived at the first time and the special forces.

It is more than 5 kilometers away, not to mention 50 minutes or more, an hour is enough to make the special forces throw more than 10 kilometers. In fact, the Chinese special forces have done a very good job in this regard. When the cavalry approached the bridge, the closest distance to the Chinese special forces was at least 12 kilometers away from them. They also hid in the dense forest next to them. With a huge distance, and there were not many traces, the most important thing is that all four railway bridges were blown off, including two mixed bridges of railway highways. The US military could not fly over the river. These rivers were all deep, and cavalry could not pass through the water.

As a cavalry officer stationed nearby, he is very familiar with the hydrological characteristics of these rivers. Even during the dry season in winter, the deepest part of the river water is more than 3 meters, not to mention now, some time ago, in the central mountain range, there had just been a heavy rain, and the river water rose at least 1 meter more than usual. In this case, going down the river is almost bound to die.

The officer in charge of the cavalry stood there in a daze. Zhou Xing had been using a telescope and carefully observed that the others had retreated, leaving only a few of them. Three or four kilometers away from the bridge, the four bridges and all the locations of the explosion points were visible, and it was quite secret. This was probably a small mountain bag with a relative height of 200 meters. There were lush trees above the mountain bag. With a certain disguise, it was difficult to find the situation here even if it was close, let alone a few kilometers away, and at the other end of the river.

They were quietly using the telescope in the bunker. It was almost 8 o'clock at 7 o'clock, and the visibility was already very high. With the help of the high-power telescope, he could clearly see the entire situation of the US military on the other side of the river.

However, just when the cavalry company commander was at a loss, a thud sound suddenly came from the river. Four gunboats set off from the dock. After adjusting the direction a little, they drove towards the bridge position. Relatively speaking, the gunboats were still very fast, with a speed of about 30 knots, which was more than 50 kilometers per hour, which was faster than the cavalry.

Seeing the gunboat dispatch, Zhou Xing knew that his time to watch the show was over. His location was too close to the riverside, only 3 kilometers, and it was within the range of the gunboat. Although he knew very well that the camouflage he designed was also awesome in the entire special forces, and he was not worried about being discovered by the US military, but he was not afraid of being discovered by the US military, but he was not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid that if a gentleman did not stand under a dangerous wall, this blasting mission was perfectly completed. Continue to observe, just evaluate the reaction and training qualities of the US military, rather than fighting with the US military. The focus of the entire Chen Cang plan was always on the railways, especially the railways that penetrated into the Rocky Mountains, annihilated how many US troops and weakened the war potential of many Americans. This has nothing to do with him.

This time the action plan has been perfectly successful. All railway bridges near Sacramento were destroyed, and a large number of railway hubs were destroyed. Although 4 tons of explosives were wasted, these have not been collected yet. For him, the mission has been over. The other party was obviously angry. After the cavalry, he sent a gunboat. He must not come to march in an armed manner. He must cover this section of artillery fire. If he doesn't leave at this time, he will not be able to leave later.
