It seems that it is not safe enough. Eisenhower, who is too cautious, takes the third step of luring the enemy to the extreme, sends two forces that no one can ignore, and drives from Salt Lake City and New Mexico to Las Vegas respectively.

, Phoenix City. Of course, the Northern Legion launched an attack on Carson, Reading's defense line, and northern California.

As the saying goes, the strange and righteous complement each other, and it is deeply loved by the classical Chinese military strategy!

It is difficult to act like this with such a big fanfare. No matter who it is, it cannot ignore the thousands of vehicles, and the spectacular scenes that are starting with a bang, the torrent of steel, and the rolling magnificent scene!

And Patton, who was re-engaged, was all the way.

He was considered to have made meritorious service. Chief of Staff Marshall continued to use him despite his opposition, which could be said to have taken considerable risks. In fact, he could not let the old man's face fall to the ground.

Furthermore, he was very unconvinced when he lost the last time, and was inexplicably trampled on the way out. He killed the large army in a daze and was surrounded by heavy artillery groups. It was a crime of failure!

This time, he had to save face no matter what, and he didn't believe that he could not cure the shame by his own means!

Of course, today, the equipment of the US Army is completely different. First of all, the threat of attack aircraft from China has been greatly reduced, with dozens or even hundreds of dense air force fighter jets rampantly driving the entire industry

The airspace in the direction of entry will prevent the 500-kilometer area from being drained. Don’t expect to sneak in quietly and carry out a surprise attack on the ground.

Then there are the tanks they used. All the m4 Sherman and m3 Grant that were not used before were retired and replaced with the brand new m41 series tanks.

Among them, the m41 light tank is directly a replica of the monkey version of the "Battle" tank developed by Zhu Bin for the Central Army. After further strengthening and localization, it was manufactured into a vehicle weighing about 24 tons and adopts an American 76.2mm main gun.

, a guy with a 7.62mm heavy machine gun parallel and a 12.7mm heavy machine gun is set up.

The coquettish half-egg cast iron turret, wedge-shaped front armor, and the light structure of five pairs of heavy wheels. The excellent off-road performance and relatively balanced protective armor have deeply attracted the American side without any psychological barriers.

After mass production, equip the troops.

To be honest, Americans themselves feel helpless because they really can't beat the perverted Chinese armored forces deployed on their front - Nima tanks with a minimum caliber of 105mm, how can they create such a light body?

!It's simply cheating!

Therefore, they are not the main force of the US Army's armored soldiers. Instead, they cooperate with the auxiliary forces of infantry operations, and the more produced ones were shipped to Europe to deal with the German soldiers.

The real main force is a redesigned and manufactured model after combining the advantages of m4 Sherman and this tank. It is named m41 Sherman 2. It can also be used to confuse the naming habits of the British.

Enemy's intelligence system.

But things are completely different!

The total combat weight of this tank is as high as 48 tons. It is twice as big as! Six pairs of large weight-bearing wheels, half-egg turrets, and low wedge-shaped front armor are completely flooded, and the skirt armor is the same!

The first version of the main gun system uses the Americans' own m1 90mm anti-aircraft gun, which greatly increases the power of armor piercing. It can successfully threaten enemy armor units above 100mm. With the current cheetah series of Zhu Family Army, there is no need to be compound armored on it.

, It's really bad!

On this basis, the tank focuses on thickening the front armor, with a total of 105mm uniform steel plate. It uses a twin-turbocharged gasoline engine with a full power, a maximum speed of 48 kilometers per hour and a maximum range of 465 kilometers. It is an excellent choice for a while.

.

Ford and Chrysler, the world's largest automobile factories, are crazy about using assembly lines to create such steel monsters. They can equip several divisions in one month with speeds of increasing speed.

This guy, after wearing the American version of the copycat composite armor, has a defense capability of more than 200mm. He cannot even penetrate the Americans' own anti-tank rockets, and even if the 90mm anti-aircraft gun is flat, it is really a supreme weapon.

!

It is said that there is another heavy guy with this chassis equipped with a 105mm main gun. It is unknown when it will be released during the development and trial production. However, at that time, the attack power of the US Army will definitely be turned upside down!

In addition to tanks, self-propelled weapons are indispensable. For example, the 155mm self-propelled cannon, 105mm self-propelled howitzer, double-barrel 40mm self-propelled anti-aircraft cannon is manufactured with the m41 "Magic Dog" light tank chassis, and there is even a 155mm self-propelled gun made with a newly built tank, which is not very stable in performance.

, the rocket launcher was installed first, and so on, a series of steel creations, imitating the structure of the Chinese heavy armored division, increased the amount of steel several times on the previous basis.

The heavy tank division rebuilt in this way has at least increased its combat effectiveness! The speed of action, the fierce attack, the convenience of deployment of troops, and the depth of the attack are overturned!

Patton was so angry that he finally found an opportunity to vent his anger. After mastering the troops, he took the lead in advancing fiercely towards Las Vegas from the north!

If you want to talk about the scary hundreds of tanks and thousands of vehicles, not to mention the size, the dust alone is enough for satellites to discover that the huge steel cluster is too obvious, so you can drive it out of Salt Lake City and investigate it

arrive.

When Wang Zhangtang stood up excitedly when he saw the photos taken from various angles and heights, he laughed: "Okay! I'm not lonely at all! Finally, a fat sheep with a slightly similar appearance came to him.

Haha, I can move!”

Chief of Staff Zhao helplessly dissuaded: "You should be careful! Without certain preparations, Americans will not make it easy. They are so blatant that they must have sufficient response strategies. How can they come out to die at will?"

Wang Zhangtang was so arrogant that he was: "Then you don't have to think about it at all! There is no army stronger than us in the world! No matter what he has, just crush it all!"

Tanks are against tanks. Since the enemy poses this pose and does not go up and deal with it, it is really worse than beasts.

After expanding into a special mountain division, Wang Zhangtang's troops were over-organized. An expanded land aviation unit, a strategic missile unit, an air force unit, and an electronic warfare unit were added. Of course, there will be no missing armor with the main attack force.

group.

It turns out that the structure of one heavy, two light, three tank groups has become two heavy, three light, five tank groups. It is so huge that it is shocking.

The main equipment is also mainly equipped with Cheetah-3, which is equipped with a 105mm high-pressure smoothbore cannon. The heavy punches of the double 105 cannon are the foundation, while the proportion of the 120mm Tiger tank, which originally only accounts for a small part, has increased significantly!

Anyway, all kinds of crazy and unlucky heavy weapons were expanded and spread in his division one by one. In half a year, their combat effectiveness continued to double!

With a command, the tank regiment stationed at St. George's forward alert immediately took action, surging the huge armored cluster towards Salt Lake City, and posed as a stance of interception.

After crossing Cedar City, the posture of both sides advancing simultaneously was exposed. They were generally difficult to walk on the road and break the terrain. If you want to play the same desert melee last time, it is unlikely, and you can't take the initiative.

The narrow road was blocked, so Lake Seville in the middle became the target of competition.

This saltwater lake, which is 40 kilometers long and 11 kilometers wide, only enters and cannot be exited, is a good place to extract halide salt, just like the large salt lake in the north, but it does not have much mining value for the time being.

The area where you are located is the border between the Colorado Plateau and the Nevada Basin. The terrain is smoother than other places and is also the main channel for southward attack. Whoever takes the lead will probably pay less.

Both sides did not know the importance of this before. But no one was worried about the bad mountainous land of at least two or three hundred kilometers. If the Americans had not been able to retreat because of local wars, they would not have been expected to start fighting west of Colorado, just transporting it here.

The troops are all troublesome.

Of course, the Zhu family army did not have much interest in expanding. The West Coast alone was enough for them to work hard. If the front line was pushed out, it would have to defend against a front line of 3,000 kilometers from north to south! How many troops would you plan to put on?

Is a million enough? That's not what California can provide.

Passive defense has never been the original intention of the Zhu family army to survive. The previous elastic defense was just for a series of actions today. When the strength is sufficient, a million troops landed, which would be a huge spread throughout the United States.

attack!

Of course, at that time, the United States must have been dealt with and dying. Unlike now, its industry, population, military strength and morale have not been damaged. It has rashly caused a million troops with poor successors to come more than 20,000 miles away.

Fighting a protracted war on the battlefield is seeking death!

If it weren't for the full siege of the US military today, Wang Zhangtang and the others would have had to continue to implement their original strategies.

Patton went crazy and used all the troops to maximize their advancement speed. The three armored regiments, along the railway, moved in unison with Lake Seville, along the southern end of the Great Salt Lake, and were very powerful, fearing that others would not know.

.

The fighter plane flying ahead was discovered and intercepted in advance not long after it came out, and would never give them the chance to attack the ground troops. They would fight first and connect with the ones that broke out over Nevada, and were in full swing!

It can be said that China and the United States have brought the air combat of this era to the extreme! The density is so high that it can be compared in European battlefields. The wild dance of thousands of fighter jets is often the battlefield that is hundreds of thousands of square kilometers wide. Imagine it.

, it makes people feel hot all over!

Patton's troops set off at night, after a night of trek, and at around nine o'clock the next morning, the forward line arrived at the center line.

Because of the priority strike of air forces, the railway between the two sides was destroyed by continuous bombing, so the railway transportation became the slowest. However, the central army, running all the way, appeared at both ends of Lake Sevier.

Through a huge salt lake, each of them stopped their movements and met from afar!

The leader along the way was the craziest 5th Regiment of Luozhendong. After the upgrade, he was in line with the rank of colonel and his luck was so good. Look at his troops who had just passed by the crazy journey, and were so tired that they were all in a mess.

The body was full of steam, and the enemy situation on the opposite side was clear. It was obvious that the performance of the American tanks was much worse. As they rushed to the road, many of them broke down.

In theory, it is a good time to launch a fierce attack, but Luo Zhendong ordered everyone to rest on the spot, repair what should be repaired, and supplement what should be supplemented. Steadily let the huge group of equipment be arranged along the south side of the lake.

The US military on the opposite side took a relatively smooth road, with poor performance of the tank, but not severe bumps. I thought the other party would come over while his position was not stable, and seized the broad battlefield and opened the formation. I was nervous.

No, no, but I didn’t expect that I would wait for the first and second time, but I won’t come!

The Americans were a little stunned at that time!

They don't quite understand that in terms of geographical location, the southern shore of the lake is too narrow and steep, and it is impossible to deploy a large number of armored units at all. Whether attacking from the left or right, a few units will face a large number of sieges, which will be the result of a few units facing a large number of sieges.

An experienced Chinese enemy is an negligence that should not have occurred!

Could it be that they have a conspiracy?

Americans instinctively thought of this. There is nothing else, they are afraid of it.

As if it was conditioned, the regiment commander quickly ordered the troops to deploy in a scattered manner and never put them together, so as not to be taken away by the other party with special weapons.

Then, the accompanying self-propelled artillery aimed at both sides of the lake from the rear. Be prepared to attack intensively at any time and give the other party a harsh blow!

One waits nervously and the other relaxes and rests, the effect is completely different! It takes more than two hours to get until noon, and the spicy sun baking person is about to get oil. Luo Zhendong only looked at the watch.

Wave your hand gently: "Action!"

Three red signal flares took off, and the resting troops responded loudly! The two tank battalions, led by the same colored Cheetah-3, opened up sparse spacing. They spread from both sides of the lake and drove forward!

To be honest, this unlucky salt lake has rolling mountains on both sides and cannot run away. There are even corrosive gullies in some places, which require the boat and bridge units to temporarily open the road before passing through, which is extremely troublesome.

The other side of the US military is relatively much better, but because they dare not fight head-on, they can only wait patiently.

This wait took several hours! The armored troops of Luozhendong who were constantly opening the road to build bridges were unable to reach the place. They finally got almost thirty kilometers longer, but they had not yet joined the team.

It was the infantry of both sides. In order to compete for the commanding heights of the two-sided mountain, they arrived first and started to exchange fire!

The US military fighting against Jedi is quite fierce! The weapons and equipment are slightly inferior, but they do not affect their courage to fight to the death. The combination of the bulky Browning heavy machine gun, the Galand rifle, and the m1 carbine is twice as good as theirs.
To be continued...
