Oxnard, fifty kilometers south of Santa Barbara, is the base of the 54th Infantry Division of the United States Army. Early in the morning, the division commander, Brigadier General Donald, was still sleeping heavily. However, he was awakened by a sudden knock on the door.
It's right.
"Hell? What happened?" Brigadier General Donald looked at his watch and it was only 6:40 in the morning.
"What's wrong? Are the Chinese calling?" Brigadier General Donald put on his clothes, opened the door, saw the terrified adjutant, and then asked. The 54th Infantry Division, with three infantry regiments and division-level units under his command, were under his command.
The entire division has only more than 8,000 people, but the defense line garrisoned is over 100 kilometers. Fortunately, the 54th Infantry Division all believed that the place they were stationed would not be the key area for the Chinese to attack. Therefore, this
The defense has been a little lax for a while.
"Sir, the Chinese are calling, they have landed in Santa Barbara!" said the adjutant quickly.
"God! What are you kidding? How could the Chinese choose to land in Santa Barbara?" Brigadier General Donald was full of disbelief.
"It's true, Master. You can no longer contact the defenders of Santa Barbara. They must have been attacked violently!" The adjutant said very affirmatively.
"Damn, how could this happen! Send a report to General Samuel Yang immediately, telling him that we were attacked by the Chinese. In addition, order the 1st and 2nd Regiments to gather at Oxnard immediately and prepare for the preparation
Resist the Chinese attack!" Brigadier General Donald ordered.
"Teacher, don't we need to reinforce Santa Barbara?" asked the adjutant.
"Reinforcement of Santa Barbara? How many of us are there? Going to Santa Barbara, you can only seek death!" Brigadier General Donald said. There is no doubt that he believes that Santa Barbara is impossible to withstand the Chinese attack. His 54th Infantry Division
Even if you fill it all in, there is only a dead end. Instead of doing this, it is better to stick to Oxnard and wait for the orders of your superiors.
"Yes, division commander!" The adjutant immediately went to pass the order, and the whole of Oxnard was in chaos. Many American soldiers were immediately panicked when they heard that the Chinese army had chosen to land in Santa Barbara.
People are ready to escape secretly. The continuous victory of the Chinese team on the battlefield has created a great reputation. In the minds of these American soldiers, the Chinese team has completely become synonymous with the devil who harvests life, let them go
Fighting with the China ** team, isn’t this asking them to die?
Los Angeles is one of the key defense areas of the US Army. The US Army deployed an army of 100,000 people here, commanded by Lieutenant General Samuel Young. Among them, except for two divisions being deployed on the coastline of Los Angeles,
The rest of the troops were all gathered in Los Angeles. The US Army also regarded big cities like Los Angeles as the primary target of the China National Team's landing. However, this time the China National Team's landing was obviously beyond the reach of
What they expected.
When Lieutenant General Samuel Young received the news that the Chinese team had landed in Santa Barbara, he was enjoying a delicious breakfast. However, when he heard that the Chinese team had landed, he immediately had no
Have a appetite.
"Come, order the 52nd Infantry Division, the 53rd Infantry Division to reinforce Oxnard immediately. Report to the Minister of War that the Chinese landing!" Lieutenant General Samuel Yang ordered. On the one hand, he sent troops to reinforce Oxnard.
On the other hand, he asked Russell Ah Alger for help. He knew that after landing in Santa Barbara, the Chinese team would definitely attack Los Angeles. With this little army in his hands, it would definitely not be able to resist.
The powerful Chinese team launched an attack from both the land and the sea.
However, the US Army, which has not fought a big battle for a long time, is really not very effective. After Lieutenant General Samuel Young issued the order, it was not until 9 a.m. that two infantry divisions set off from Los Angeles and headed to Oxnard.
.At this time, Santa Barbara had already been taken down by the Chinese Marine Corps.
US Secretary of War Russell A? Alger, has been staying in the office in the past few days, and even resting in the office at night. Calculate the time, the landing battle of the Chinese team against the West Coast of the United States is also the
In the past few days, he dared not relax at all. Russell Ah Alger was unsure of whether he could defeat the China League One. Although the China League One was at most two armies in the United States,
There are less than 400,000 people. But Russell Ah Alger is sure that the combat effectiveness of these 400,000 teams is enough to exceed that of the millions of the US Army.
"Minister! The Chinese appeared. They launched an attack on Santa Barbara at 6:30 this morning!" At 7:10 am, Minister of War Russell Ah Alger launched a landing battle on the Chinese team**
Forty minutes later, I received the message.
"Santa Barbara? How could the Chinese choose there? Damn, there is only one regiment of troops there, and it cannot stop the Chinese from landing! Order the defenders of San Francisco and San Diego to draw powerful troops to Samuel in Los Angeles
?Lieutenant General Yang must resist the attack of the Chinese. If possible, drive all the Chinese into the sea to feed the fish!" Minister of War Russell Ah Alger ordered.
"Yes, Your Excellency Minister!" his secretary replied.
"Also, prepare a car for me to go to the White House. I want to see His Excellency the President!" said Russell Ah Alger.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements for you right away!" said the secretary.
The White House, President Garrett Hobart, who had just woken up, was enjoying breakfast. However, the secretary then told him that War Minister Russell A. Alger asked for a meeting. Garrett Hobart asked his secretary to turn Russell.
?a?Arger took him to the office, and then he speeded up his breakfast. Because he knew that after meeting Russell?a?Arger, he probably had no appetite. He had guessed that Russell
If Er?a? Arger comes to see him at this time, he will definitely not bring him any good news.
At 7:40 am, President Garrett Hobart appeared in the office.
"His Minister, what happened? Did the Chinese land?" asked President Garrett Hobart.
"Yes, the President. The Chinese launched the landing battle at 6:30 this morning. However, the landing point they chose was Santa Barbara, one hundred and thirty kilometers north of Los Angeles, not the big city on the west coast we had expected before.
!” said Russell Ah Alger.
"Santa Barbara? That is to say, we can't stop the Chinese from landing on the American mainland, right?" asked President Garrett Hobart.
"Yes, Your Excellency President! Santa Barbara only has one regiment of troops. The Chinese are likely to have successfully landed now!" said Minister of War Russell Ah Alger.
"So, tell me your plan, what should we do now?" asked President Garrett Hobart.
"His Excellency the President, since the Chinese landing is unstoppable, we can only find ways to resist the Chinese on the west coast. Of course, if possible, it is best to drive the Chinese into the sea. However, the Chinese have a strong navy
Support, we cannot deal a powerful blow to them in the coastal areas!" said War Minister Russell Ah Alger.
President Garrett Hobart nodded.
"For specific plans, I plan to draw 400,000 people from the 600,000 troops deployed on the West Coast to launch attacks on the Chinese from the north, east and south directions, so as to strive to control the battle around Los Angeles. In addition, from the east,
Of the 400,000 troops in the region, I also plan to draw 200,000 people to join the battlefield. After all, the Chinese team is well-trained, and we are not as good as the Chinese in terms of individual soldiers or weapons and equipment. With the landing
There are more and more Chinese teams, and our pressure will be increasing. At the same time, the recruitment plan cannot be stopped, and we need more troops. No one can guarantee how long this war will last, and we must
Be fully prepared!” said Russell Ah Alger.
"Mr. Minister, there is one thing that is very important. I believe is not only me, but also all Americans are concerned about. If the army cannot defeat the Chinese and cannot drive them into the sea. Then, can we block the Chinese from the Rocky River?
To the west of the mountains, avoid wars from spreading to the heartlands of the United States, or even the eastern region!" President Garrett Hobart asked. At this time, although the west coast of the United States had begun to develop, it was far from as prosperous as possible.
East Coast. The East Coast region is the most important region in the United States.
"President, please rest assured. The Chinese people want to cross the Pacific to expedition us, and their logistics pressure is very high. The West Coast area can also use sea transportation, but if they want to cross the tall Rocky Mountains, it is impossible.
Therefore, even if we are not a match for the Chinese in the West Coast, there is no problem to block them west of the Rockies!" Russell Ah Alger replied with affirmatively.
"Okay, I understand, you can let go!" President Garrett Hobart said with satisfaction. Of course, the war burned on the United States, which is a huge disaster for the United States, and we must think about it.
Only by ending the war is enough. While the military operations are underway, the United States has also begun diplomatic efforts. However, China's asking price is too high, which makes the United States a little unbearable.
The landing of the Centre Team in Santa Barbara was very smooth. The 3rd Regiment of the 54th Infantry Division of the US Army, which was stationed here, could not resist the attack of the Centre Team. They rushed up from the first landing craft.
The beach, in less than half an hour, the US military collapsed. Among the remaining soldiers of the 3rd Regiment of the 54th Infantry Division, more than 500 were captured, and the rest were all killed in battle. Santa Barbara fell into the
In the hands of the Zhong** team.
