Seeing the gunboat come out, Zhou Xing knew very well that the US military was serious. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Zhou Xing left quietly, which was very simple for him. . The fastest update of the Chinese team, especially the army, has only been established for a few years, and is still a new force and full of vitality, but there is basically no nepotism. Those who are just a scattered and have a certain height. Everyone has a good foundation and a foundation. Although there is nepotism, it is just a step. If you really reach a certain height, it depends on the strength of all aspects. There is absolutely no incompetence.

This is true for the Army, and it is even more so for the special forces that are known for their abilities. First of all, you can become an official if you have superior abilities in all aspects. Although senior officers are not necessarily the most powerful in the entire brigade, or even the most powerful in the corps, they must be one of the most powerful people. At least they cannot fall after the First Group, especially after the army was established for a few years, most of them are young and middle-aged.

Zhou Xing was the same. Before becoming the deputy corps captain, he was a senior special forces soldier. He successfully entered the regular election in the training of the first batch of special forces. In 8 years, he went from an ordinary member to the high position of deputy captain. However, he had never relaxed in the physical training and quietly integrated into the woods behind him. Even if he was close at hand, there was not much sound.

The same was true for the other commanders. They walked along the woodland like shadows, and were not slow at all, but they did not make any movement at all.

Leaving silently without disturbing anyone, this is the strength of the special forces. Even these Americans can't even find it close to each other, let alone a river separated by 3 kilometers, and even on the other side, the US military, who were carefully searching, looked at them because of the sudden appearance of gunboats.

On this side of the river, they had searched carefully, without any traces, and there was even a trace of footprints on the ground with a little foggy in the morning. This is enough to prove that the participants in the explosion should be on the other end. They had no way to cross the river, and they could not swim. God knows whether the other party was ambushing on the other side. When facing the possible danger of swimming, the company commander could not give this order or ask for people.

The arrival of the gunboat was equivalent to taking his responsibility to a certain extent. He hesitated for a moment and ordered 20 cavalrymen to leave again. They would feedback the details of the four bridges here and the preliminary investigation results.

The river defense force was sent by the commander of Sacramento. After knowing that the bridge in Sacramento was blown up, he knew that something was wrong. He just felt something was wrong before. The army sent, as far as he was concerned, had never thought that all four railway bridges that communicated with the entire Sacramento were blown up. This was definitely not a natural disaster, and it was definitely someone who did it on purpose. As a brigade commander of a regular army, he had thousands of trained soldiers in his hands. He had enough military qualities. He knew very well that the cavalry could only conduct a simple investigation. The other party must be on the other side of the bridge, and the cavalry could not cross the river. Sending gunboats was the most correct choice.

The commander not only sent gunboats, but also had two companies of infantry on the gunboat. With the support of gunboats, they would land on the other side, strive to catch the enemy and find at least some clues. This is what he must do. Not discovering the enemy's actions and stifling the enemy's actions in the plan is his biggest fault. Now there is no clue, or even who the enemy is, which is a big trouble.

Although the United States does not have any imperial skills or power-making skills, there are still some basic official rules. When is this time, this moment is not a good time. Washington just ordered California troops to gather together in order to deal with the crisis of Japan's attack on the United States. At least, Japan cannot destroy the Pacific Railways within the Rocky Mountains and the Central Mountains. Compared with the plains, the difficulty of building these railways has increased by at least 10 times. In some places, there is no huge casualties, so it is impossible to complete them.

This was very clear about the garrison and the entire West Coast states. They also took action immediately after receiving the order from Washington. Although the army had not been mobilized, the timetable for the mobilization of the army, the concentration of various materials, and even the reception of Sacramento was completed. As long as the personnel came up, they would go to the Rocky Mountains to fight to block the Japanese army's footsteps at the pass and even further away.

It turns out that it may take a few days or even a week to rectify the army. With the attention of the United States from top to bottom, it may be possible to complete the consultation in less than a day and a half. From Los Angeles, San Francisco, and even Sacramento, at least 50 trains have been mobilized. This is also thanks to the cut off of the Pacific Railway. Whether it is a passenger train or a freight tank truck, each train can accommodate at least 2,000 people. At that time, 100,000 people can be delivered at one time, and even if supplies are added, 60,000 people can be delivered. After all, materials do not occupy space. A train may only be able to load up to about 200 people. According to the limit of each person, each person can be 100 kilograms, which is 20 tons. However, with the current load-bearing capacity of the American railway, it can be loaded with more than 45 tons.

With such mobilization ability, coupled with the rugged terrain and environment of the central mountain range, perhaps the Japanese army cannot be stopped at the mountain pass, but they can be defended step by step in the mountains, at least to preserve the most critical essence. No matter what, as the commander of Sacramento, he will have a contribution as long as someone sets off smoothly. However, at this critical time, at this critical moment, before the operation began, the Pacific Railway entered the west gate of the Central Mountains, and the four railway bridges on the side of Sacramento were blown off, which directly made the plan unable to continue.

It is easy for infantry to deal with. Some ships, even a large number of riverboats located in San Francisco, can help 100,000 or even 200,000 infantry crossing the river. But next, infantry is not the infantry itself. They have to play the role of an infantry, and even the logistics supplies they have to mobilize are much higher than the weight of an infantry. Infantry can walk by themselves, but those materials need to be transported, and railways are the most convenient way. Without railways, everyone knows that this is an unsuccessful task.

The most important thing is that no matter who they are, since they can blow up these four railway bridges, they can continue to destroy them. If they finally cross the river successfully, they will transfer the railway train from another aspect. What if they continue? Will they continue to destroy them? Just like blowing up the bridge, if this happens, hundreds of thousands of regular troops will be cut off and divided into the Central Mountains of the United States, it will be a nightmare for the United States.

The most important thing is that the commander had a great idea. Why did he blow up this key bridge at the stall where they mobilized? Could it be that the information was leaked inside? Otherwise, it would not be so coincidental? This commander must have shirked responsibility if he thought so, but for him, what should he do if he didn't shirk the responsibility? He was completely unpredictable. Without any warning, four bridges were blown up and completely cut off the Pacific Railway. Just like Salt Lake City and Ogden, the difference is that those cities have been conquered, and there are small forces here.

On the one hand, Sacramento sent gunboats to the area where the incident occurred and recovered as much as possible. On the other hand, it urgently sent a telegram to Washington, saying that this is no longer something that Sacramento can handle. Once this line is cut off, unless they take risks and pass by the ship, they can only rely on the North Pacific Railway for transportation.

The North Pacific Railway is also an important railway connecting the United States and the East and West, but it is much worse than the Pacific Railway. Not only does it travel far exceed the previous plan, but its capacity will also be greatly reduced. The North Pacific Railway's peak capacity is only one-third of that of the Pacific Railway, which means that they cannot arrive all at the first time. In a sense, the significance of their dispatch of troops is not much.

The blockade of Sacramento means that the western exit of the Central Mountains has been blocked. Under such circumstances, the possibility of them rushing to the Rockies has basically failed, unless they send troops to cross the Central Mountains. It is just impossible. No general with a little military knowledge will give such an order. How terrible the Central Mountains are? Every American knows that sending more than 100,000 troops to cross the Central Mountains and to the Great Plains to fight against Japanese armored forces armed to the teeth is simply to die. There is no supply, no logistics, and even heavy artillery. How can they fight against the Japanese?

If you take the North Line, you can reach the central United States. Even if the transportation capacity is a little less, it is finally a quick way. However, the Japanese have always been on the line of Salt Lake City and follow the Pacific Railway. The North Pacific Railway is close to the US border, with a distance of about 600 kilometers between them. This is the most critical point of restriction and can be sent there, but that only blocks Japan's retreat and does not give Japan the possibility of escaping from the US border.

This is useless. Japan has penetrated deep into the United States. Neither the east nor the west, they will not let them go. Even mobilized troops from the east. Not only did they mobilize more troops, but they also had more routes of operations. The order given to him was in the Rockies, what was the runway North Pacific Railway! (To be continued...)
