Chapter 1232 is doomed to fail
Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, has become the location of the Imperial Army's 3rd Army, the Imperial Army's North American Theater Command. After the end of last year's battle, the Imperial Army took advantage of the winter time to penetrate eastward, and has now pushed the front line to Ohio, West Virginia and Virginia. It is only two or three hundred kilometers away from Washington, the capital of the United States.
Although the total strength of the US Army is as high as 1.7 million, almost twice that of the Chinese and Spanish Army. However, it is almost impossible to count on these mobs to block the attack of the imperial army.
"Chief of Staff, what do the weather experts say?" Lieutenant General Gu Yun, commander of the 3rd Army, looked outside and asked.
"Commander, weather experts say that it will be good weather in the next week. Although the temperature is not very high, the soldiers have adapted and can launch an attack!" said Lieutenant General Luo Xinde, chief of staff of the 3rd Army.
"Okay, I'll give orders to each division, launch an attack in three days, and break through the Americans' defense line in one fell swoop!" Lieutenant General Gu Yun made up his mind. The 3rd Army had been sent to the United States for many years, and during this period there were countless conflicts with the Americans. Now, it can finally completely defeat the Americans. Lieutenant General Gu Yun was very proud to arrive. He knew that after the war was over, a general would be indispensable. Even if he was transferred back to the country, he would be content.
"Yes, Commander!" Lieutenant General Luo Xinde nodded.
"This is our last battle against the Americans! The Americans are still fighting stubbornly, but this is exactly what we need to see. As long as we kill all American men on the battlefield, then there is no hope in this country!" Lieutenant General Gu Yun said. This is also an order issued by the imperial emperor Long Yufei.
The United States has a large population. The Chinese Empire has only immigrated more than 10 million to North America, and most of them are concentrated on the west coast. North America has fertile land and more land available for cultivation than China. If these lands are in the hands of the Chinese Empire, then at least hundreds of millions of people can be supported. Of course, those Americans are not easy to deal with. They are all mobs with guns. The docile Chinese are not their opponents. In order to ensure the safety of Chinese immigrants to North America as much as possible, the Imperial Army must kill more Americans on the battlefield. Kill all their men, and then the Chinese men will comfort their women. By then, the entire North America will be the world of Chinese.
"Yes, Commander! Although the United States has not been established for a long time, its people are not easy to deal with. Especially everyone is equipped with guns. How can this be done? If such laws were implemented in China, it would have been in chaos long ago. In this war, weakening the Americans as much as possible will be beneficial to our rule here in the future." Lieutenant General Luo Xinde said.
Although the policy implemented by the Chinese Empire is undoubtedly a disaster for the Americans. However, for the Chinese, this is a great thing. Although the Chinese Empire has been constantly immigrating abroad, the domestic land conflicts are still very sharp because of the rapid growth of the domestic population. If North America can be conquered, then the domestic conflicts can be alleviated. As for the Americans' power, they naturally did not focus on the hearts of the imperial generals. What's more, who told the Americans to fight the empire? They are simply seeking death.
"How are the 11th Army preparing? At that time, after we hold back the main force of the Americans, we will have to launch a fatal blow to the Americans!" Lieutenant General Gu Yun asked.
Although the 11th Army had only 180,000 people, much less than the 3rd Army, which had been expanded after multiple rounds of expansion. However, the 3rd Army had to be responsible for was too long, so the task of completely destroying the United States was only handed over to the 11th Army.
"The 11th Army has arrived in Charleston. After waiting for the navy's warships to arrive, they can board the ship. The news from the navy is that they will arrive in Charleston in three days!" Lieutenant General Rosinde said.
This time the strategy is for the 3rd Army and the Spanish Army to launch an attack from the west and south respectively, attracting the main force of the US military. The 11th Army launched an attack from the sea with the assistance of the navy, and the target of the attack was Washington. At that time, the Imperial Navy will cover the 11th Army landing on the Potomac River and then attack Washington directly. With the main force of the US Army being dragged by the 3rd Army and the Spanish Army, it is almost impossible to resist the attack of the 11th Army of the Imperial Army.
Once Washington falls into control of the Imperial Army, will the Americans still have the courage to continue fighting? Perhaps, the war will be over by then! Even if some Americans continue to resist, overall, it will no longer pose too much threat to the Imperial Army.
"Well! Send a telegram to the 11th Army. Whether this time can defeat the Americans in one fell swoop depends on them!" Lieutenant General Gu Yun said.
"Yes, Commander! However, Commander, the Americans seem to be on guard. Their 1.7 million troops were only more than one million deployed on the Western and Southern lines. The rest of the troops were all in Maryland. At that time, the 11th Army will definitely encounter a tough problem!" Lieutenant General Luo Xinde was a little worried. After all, the 11th Army was heading straight in and attacking Huanglong this time. If it was caught in the siege of the Americans, it would be a bad idea. Of course, with the current strength of the United States, it would be impossible to encircle and annihilate an Imperial Army.
"Don't worry! As long as we launch an attack, the Americans will send more reinforcements. Besides, with the strength of the 11th Army, even if we face hundreds of thousands of American troops head-on, there will be no problem!" Lieutenant General Gu Yun was very optimistic.
The main reason is that the combat effectiveness of the US military is declining very quickly. How high can the army composed of the elderly, weak, sick and disabled? In addition, in terms of weapons and equipment, with the fall of some areas of the Great Lakes, the US's industrial strength has also been greatly hit. Under such circumstances, the US military's equipment has also declined greatly. It can be said that the US military has reached its weakest time now.
"Yes!" Lieutenant General Luo Xinde nodded.
On the morning of March 18, 1855, the Imperial Army's 3rd Army divided into groups and launched fierce attacks on the US defense line to Ohio and West Virginia respectively. At the same time, 200,000 Spanish Army also launched an attack on Virginia. Under the attack of the Imperial Army and the Spanish Army, although there was no preparation, it could not resist it.
Especially in the face of the attack of the Imperial Army's 3rd Army, this is even more so. In just one day, the US military's defense line was broken through. A large number of US troops were captured or killed. Within one day, the Imperial Army's 3rd Army advanced twenty kilometers forward.
In the US military's command, the US Army Chief of Staff General David Farragut's face was as gloomy as water dripped out. Although the US Army Chief of Staff is the highest commander of the US Army, the current position of Chief of Staff is not a good job!
Faced with the fierce attack of the Chinese army, the US military could not resist it at all. According to the words of General David Farragut, it would be better to surrender as soon as possible. In this way, more casualties can be avoided.
However, his opinion was not adopted. American Secretary of War Charles M. Conrad asked him to resist the Chinese attack as much as possible and strive for the miracle to appear.
Admiral David Farragut scoffed at the so-called miracle. The United States has now fallen to this point and is still hoping that miracles will appear. It is simply a dream.
Although the total strength of the US Army seems to be large, relying on the elderly and children, how to compete with the elite Chinese Army. To be honest, even Admiral David Farragut himself felt a deep sense of guilt. However, those damn politicians seemed to have not seen all of this at all.
"Telegram from General William Sherman, Mr. William Sherman!" A staff officer handed a telegram to General David Farragut.
"Damn!" General David Farragut received the telegram and couldn't help but curse. The Chinese Army launched a fierce attack, and the US army suffered heavy losses. The front-line troops had to give up their positions due to heavy losses. Now, the troops were defeated eastward, and General William Sherman asked him to send more reinforcements.
"Send a telegram to General William Sherman and ask him to defend the defense line no matter what. I will send him reinforcements as soon as possible!" said General David Farragut.
"Yes, General!" The staff officer saluted and left quickly.
Then, General David Farragut went to the office of the Minister of War Charles M. Conrad and reported to him the current situation.
"Hissary Secretary, General William Sherman's army was defeated, and he needed reinforcements. If we want to stabilize the front, we have to draw troops from the Maryland reserve team to Ohio!" said Admiral David Farragut. Of course, he believes that even if reinforcements are drawn to Ohio, it may not be able to withstand the Chinese army's troops. After all, although the US military has the advantage of military strength, its combat power is far from competing with the Chinese Army. The gap between the two sides is too big, and it is already too big to be reversed. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
