What Marshal Per Xing never expected was that the speed of Su Zhizhen's attack greatly exceeded his estimate. After establishing a firm foothold in the Port of Portland, the Chinese Empire relied on its huge shipping fleet to transport a large amount of equipment ashore. .
With sufficient equipment guaranteed, Su Zhizhen quickly launched an attack eastward, catching the opponent off guard before the Bostonians had time to adjust their troop deployment. The riverside defense line, which had been given high hopes by Marshal Pershing, was actually blocked by the opponent's three-dimensional The offensive was easily broken. With the help of the air assault force and the paratrooper force, the Snake River defense line was easily broken through and the Chinese army did not even suffer many casualties.
Within a month, Su Zhizhen's troops crossed the Snake River and captured the city of Boise, with their troops pointing directly at the Missouri River. Another unit sent by Su Zhizhen to cover the main flanks crossed the Snake River. Afterwards, go upstream along the river and head towards the city of Allens.
Without the obstruction of the river, the progress of the covering troops was faster. They had been attacking along the north bank of the Truckee River, and soon occupied the line from Berkeley to Ogden, and established a solid position to prevent Boston in the south. The main force of the army moved northward.
Although Su Zhizhen's troops only advanced a thousand kilometers in one month, this shocked Marshal Per Xing, but it was still within his tolerance, so he didn't care, but after In the subsequent attack, Su Zhizhen suddenly changed his offensive style.
Although in the eyes of others, advancing one thousand kilometers a month is already a very fast advance, Su Zhizhen is not satisfied. He knows very well that whether it is the battlefield of San Diego Port in the south or the battlefield of the Western Continent, the NATO troops will bear the burden. Under tremendous pressure, he would feel tremendous pressure every extra day he persisted, so he decided to change his tactics and move forward at a faster speed.
The two paratrooper armies once again carried out an airdrop. This time the airdrop was farther away. They landed along the Missouri River and quickly seized several railway bridges. Originally, the Chinese army was still two hundred kilometers away, and the Boston army They were just busy setting up positions and had not yet carried out the bombing of the bridge. The sudden arrival of the paratroopers directly disrupted their plan. The paratroopers with some heavy equipment firmly held the bridge. No matter how the Boston army counterattacked, they were unable to recapture it. Or blow up.
Soon the armed helicopter troops came to support. They used continuous firing of rockets to effectively support the defense of the paratroopers and beat the Boston tank troops to pieces. Originally, the Bostonians planned to rely on large rivers to delay the Chinese. Unexpectedly, Su Zhizhen used the airborne troops continuously to defeat the troops guarding the river. Even the Missouri River was unable to stop the enemy.
The idea of the Bostonians is to buy enough time, either to allow the Southern Army to destroy the Chinese Army's landing force, and then turn around and stage the retreat of the Chinese Army's Northern Army to encircle and eliminate them, or to allow the factory to have time to produce those that have been finalized. The powerful weapons provide the blocking troops with better equipment, allowing them to severely damage the Chinese army.
The loss of the Missouri River forced Marshal Pershing to change his plan. At this time when air assault troops and parachute troops were becoming popular, cross-river defense had become a combat method with little advantage. He had to find another way to slow down the opponent's steps, otherwise he would Before the Chinese army captured the east coast of the Boston Empire, the industrial zone was unable to produce enough new weapons.
Su Zhizhen did not give the other party any chance to think. After quickly crossing the Missouri River, he sent a large number of special forces behind enemy lines. With the help of Zhi Gong Tang, a Chinese organization throughout the Boston Empire, they cut wires and communication cables.
, assassinated the Boston army commander, blew up ammunition depots and arsenals, destroyed railways and other transportation lines, and seriously disrupted the rear order of the Boston army.
Later, after the Navy's electronic countermeasures aircraft stationed at the land airport and took turns taking off to turn on the jammers at full power, each aircraft covered a range of more than a thousand kilometers. Both military and civilian radio stations in the Boston Empire were affected.
With the twenty-four-hour shield, the entire military system of the Boston Army was blinded, and they were unable to communicate with each other at all.
At the most critical moment of the war, Marshal Per Xing completely lost information about the north. He was very anxious about this, but a large number of troops were fighting in the field and he could not contact him at all. After carefully looking at the map, he felt that Su Zhizhen was going to
Make a big move, and this move must be aimed at eliminating the effective strength of Boston's defensive forces.
The Boston Empire did not have many troops in the north. Once it was wiped out by the Chinese army, the Boston Empire would never be able to stand up again. To be safe, Marshal Pershing gritted his teeth and ordered his troops to retreat to the Chicago Industrial Zone for defense. He wanted to use the Boston Empire
The largest industrial zone came to delay the opponent's attack.
Su Zhizhen really wanted to use the high-speed mobility of the troops to completely wipe out the two million Boston troops in Nebraska. Now the Boston Army's defense troops in the north only had about three million left. As long as the internal forces were eliminated,
With this main force in Nebraska, the Boston Army will no longer be able to pose a threat to the Chinese Army. At that time, the Chinese Army will be able to march straight in.
What Su Zhizhen never expected was that the Boston army retreated before his troops could outflank him. This was an order sent by Marshal Pershing to convey the message to the garrison in nearby cities using an Air Force plane.
The two million Boston troops retreated quickly without a fight, handing over a large area of territory to the Chinese Empire. Marshal Pershing took back the strategic initiative with a big step back, and put the two million main force into the urban Chicago industrial area.
Fighting here will greatly weaken the advantages of the Chinese army's various heavy equipment, and the Bostonians can use the familiar terrain to increase their chances of winning.
Su Zhizhen's rapid breakthrough put great pressure on Marshal Per Xing. For this reason, he had to go all out to destroy the entire industrial zone and eliminate the Chinese army. In order to increase the chance of winning, Per Xing ordered the troops stationed in the Chicago Industrial Zone to open up
Weapons depots, distribute surplus second-line weapons, arm nearby civilians, and let them use guerrilla warfare to delay the opponent's attack. At the same time, barricades are deployed in all urban areas and positions are set up on top of buildings.
It has to be said that when facing foreign enemies, Bostonians are still very united. What's more, this is a national war related to the fate of two nations, and everyone cannot avoid it. A large number of civilians began to take
They picked up weapons and used the familiar terrain to resist the occupation of the Chinese army in a small group. At the same time, they were always ready to join the regular army and participate in the regular battle to defend Chicago.
Su Zhizhen began to receive reports one after another of troops being attacked by civilians. He knew very well that if he did not make a decision quickly, the favorable situation in the early stage might be lost. For this reason, while requesting reinforcements from home, he ordered all troops, regardless of military and civilians, to
Kill all Bostonians.
The top military leaders of the Chinese Empire are not so kind to women. In the long river of history, a nation that is too kind will be eliminated by history. If it gives up opportunities because of kindness, then this nation will only have the qualification to be remembered by future generations.
, this is the way to survive in the forest of world powers.
The Chinese Army has always used unscrupulous means to win the war. As soon as Su Zhizhen issued this order, the Chinese Army went all out. In order to maintain rule and maintain social stability, the people of Boston are not allowed to carry guns in ordinary times, not to mention that they do not have such weapons in the country.
A shooting club like the Chinese Empire, so the civilians who led the weapons touched guns for the first time.
Even when receiving weapons, civilians were temporarily taught how to use rifles, but being able to use it is one thing, and being able to use it well is another matter. The armed Boston civilians were still no match for the regular army of the Chinese Empire.
What's more, when Fang Xiaoyu was building the army, each division's regular army had a small-scale special forces. The Marine Corps was directly established as a quasi-special forces. They are very familiar with special operations.
The special forces and sniper brigade were quickly mobilized from various units by Su Zhizhen, and they went out in small teams to shoot all non-Chinese people they saw. Under Su Zhizhen's almost brutal order, those who had just picked up weapons
A large number of civilians were quickly shot and killed. Special operations played a very good role in restraining civilians' guerrilla warfare. The regular army also cooperated with the special forces to drive a large number of unarmed civilians into concentration camps and let them starve to death. Without the civilian population,
With support, the guerrilla war was quickly contained.
The guerrillas operating in the wilds and small towns were wiped out in large numbers, and Su Zhizhen began to prepare for the attack on the city. The reason why the Chicago Industrial Area can become the largest industrial area in the Boston Empire, controlling half of the country's heavy industry, is because it is almost a city.
group.
The density of the cities here is quite high, and there are a large number of factories connected between the cities. They rely on the coal and iron resources in the north, and the non-ferrous metals and oil in the south to create a huge industrial cluster here. Of course, such intensive industry
The layout also comes at a cost. The Chicago industrial area has the worst air in the country. The sky here is always gray, and there is no green on the ground. Except for factories, there are desert areas everywhere.
The Chicago Industrial Area is located on the Great Northern Plains, surrounded by wilderness. You can see very far away in the wild, and there is no way to hide. These places are undefendable, so the Boston army can only enter the city for defense.
Seeing this situation, Su Zhizhen understood the thoughts of the Bostonians. They wanted to use street fighting to offset their own firepower advantage at the cost of destroying the industrial area, and strive to use human sea tactics to eliminate the Chinese army's troops.
