Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty-One Great Rout Fifth 52
San Bernardino, this small town, has completely become a sea of US military uniforms.
Although the US military has deployed 500,000 troops in cities around Los Angeles and has also built a solid defensive position. However, the US military has no confidence in resisting the attack of the Chinese team. On the periphery of Los Angeles, the US military has also sent
A large number of scouts. Therefore, after the Chinese team launched a large-scale move, the US military immediately knew the trends of the Chinese team.
San Bernardino, US military command, Lieutenant General Samuel Yang's command. Just after eating it in the morning, Lieutenant General Samuel Yang came to the command. What he hopes most now is China and
The US negotiations were successful, and then the Chinese team could evacuate from the west coast of the United States. After the Chinese team landed on the west coast of the United States, he had been worried these days, fearing that the Chinese team would attack them again. Although
He had the advantage of military strength, but he knew very well that these recruits alone could not resist the attack of the Zhongxun team. During the battle in Los Angeles, he had already witnessed the powerful combat power of the Zhongxun team with his own eyes.
"General, the Chinese have launched a large-scale attack. They launched attacks south and north respectively!" Lieutenant General Samir Yang's adjutant ran into the office and reported to him.
Lieutenant General Samuel Yang shook his hand and the coffee cup fell to the ground, shattering it. But he didn't have the strength to care about these things at this moment.
"How many troops did the Chinese dispatch and where were their targets?" Lieutenant General Samuel Yang asked anxiously.
"There are at least 100,000 Chinese attacking south, and the number of Chinese attacking north is no less than 100,000! It is preliminary to judge that their targets are Irving and New Hall!" the adjutant replied.
"God! Two hundred thousand people! The Chinese actually used two hundred thousand people. Send telegrams to General Davis and General Bart, asking them to prepare for defense! In addition, let General Burton, General Charles Charles and General Collins be allowed to
Come see me now!" Lieutenant General Samir Yang ordered. The 500,000 US troops outside Los Angeles were divided into 8 armies, each with more than 60,000 troops. The 5th Army, commander, was stationed in Irving.
It was Major General Davis. The 8th Army commander Major General Bart.
"Yes, General!" The adjutant immediately went down to pass the order. At the same time, he did not forget to report the news to the Minister of War Russell Alger. The large-scale attack of the Chinese team immediately caused the United States to be zhengfu.
They all know that this is China's countermeasure against the United States maintaining a tough attitude in negotiations. President Garrett Hobart asked the US military on the west coast to withstand the attack of the Chinese team no matter what. Otherwise,
If the war situation is corrupt, the United States will have no other way except to compromise diplomatically.
The road facilities in the United States are very good, which brought great convenience to the attack of the Chinese team. The main force of the Seventh Army, which attacked south from Los Angeles, arrived in Irving on the afternoon of August 16ri. At this time,
Irving had already fought fiercely. The navy's warships arrived here in the morning. Three heavy cruisers and five light cruisers launched fierce shelling on Irving. Although the US 5th Army stationed in Irving launched tenacious
The counterattack, but this was useless to the Chinese team. It was not until Irving was bombed into ruins that the Chinese Navy's warships left.
In the afternoon of the same day, the four divisions of the Seventh Army launched a fierce attack on Irving with the cooperation of the division's direct troops. The 5th Army of the US troops stationed in Irving was under the shelling of the Chinese Navy. There were already heavy casualties. Fortifications were also added.
It was hit by destruction, which greatly reduced the defense of the US military.
The attack of the China Team began at 3:00 pm, but an hour later, the China Team broke through the outer positions of the 5th Army of the US Army. Fierce street fighting began. At the level of street fighting, the US and China Team were both
*The team is far behind. All fronts are losing and retreating step by step.
"General, the Chinese attacks are too powerful, we can't resist their attacks at all!" A brigadier general reported to Major General Davis, the commander of the 5th Army.
"Persevere, hold on until dark, and we can break through!" Major General Davis asked. He had contacted Lieutenant General Samuel Young from San Bernardino. Samuel Young Zhong.
The general has agreed that if I can't defend Irving, he can retreat to Corona. However, Major General Davis believes that breaking through now is not a good idea. Under the surveillance of the Chinese team's observation balloon, the US military's
Every move was exposed to the Zhong** team. When you retreat, you will definitely be intercepted by the Zhong** team and then eliminated them all.
But can I still hold on until dark? This is obviously no. At 5 pm, the US military was suppressed to an area less than two square kilometers. The Seventh Army had more than 300 heavy artillery pieces,
As well as the navy's naval guns, the destruction of this area was carried out, and the US military suffered heavy casualties. Finally, at 5:40 pm, Lieutenant General Davis ordered the remaining 20,000 troops of the US 5th Army to go to China*
*The team surrendered.
After taking Irving, the main force of the Seventh Army rested for one night in Irving, but the 23rd Infantry Division marched east overnight, posing a threat to the 4th US Army in Corona.
When the Seventh Army captured Irving, the three infantry divisions drawn from the Seventh Army and the two infantry divisions drawn from the Sixth Army had already captured Santa Clita yesterday, and then the three infantry divisions of the Seventh Army were then captured by the Seventh Army.
The division continued to go north, threatening the 8th Army of Newhall, and the two infantry divisions of the Sixth Army crossed Mount San Antonio along the highway, finally blocking the US military's retreat. At this time, the main attention of the US military was to go north.
The three infantry divisions and the main force of the Seventh Army attacking Irving went up, and no one paid attention to the two infantry divisions of the Sixth Army.
Irving's rapid fall once again caused the US military to panic. After learning that the Chinese team was starting to move towards Corona, Lieutenant General Samuel Young issued an order to defend Corona.
The 4th Army defended Corona, and at the same time, the 3rd Army was drawn from San Bernardino to reinforce Corona, intending to resist the offensive steps of the Central Team in Corona.
However, Lieutenant General Samuel Young still overestimated the speed of the US military's march. It was almost thirty-six kilometers from Irving to Corona. It was almost the distance from San Bernardino to Corona.
same.
On the evening of August 17, the main force of the Seventh Army of the Chinese Army had arrived in Corona. The 23rd Infantry Division, the vanguard, arrived here in the afternoon. The 3rd Army of the US Army,
It only took half of the way. This forced the 4th Army of Corona to deal with the main force of the Seventh Army of the Chinese Army.
At the same time, the main force of the Chinese Army's Sixth Army had set off from Los Angeles and headed straight towards San Bernardino along Mount San Antonio. This immediately put great pressure on Lieutenant General Samir Yang.
After the 3rd Army had been sent out, there were only two troops and some direct troops in San Bernardino. He did not think that these troops could withstand the attack of the 100,000 Chinese Army.
Lieutenant General Samuel Young immediately ordered the 8th and 7th Army of the US Army in the north to resist the attack of the Central Team north of Los Angeles, and to hold back the road no matter what.
** Team. Victorville's 6th Army returned to the rescue of San Bernardino. Lieutenant General Samuel Young had no idea that the Chinese team heading north had only three infantry divisions.
After the ** team started to move, the three infantry divisions immediately entered a defensive state. The remaining two infantry divisions have successfully crossed Mount San Antonio and are moving south quickly, and are expected to be at the latest on August 19th.

On August 18ri, the main force of the Seventh Army launched an attack on Corona, and the US 4th Army's defense was very tenacious. Although the Seventh Army hit more than 300 heavy artillery above 105 mm caliber, it launched a fierce attack on Corona.
However, the artillery of the 4th Army of the US Army was at an absolute disadvantage. In less than two hours of artillery battle, all artillery had suffered heavy losses.
Afterwards, the four main infantry divisions of the Seventh Army launched a fierce attack on Corona. During the street fighting, the 4th Army of the US military could not resist the attack of the Central Team. In the afternoon, Corona
Half of the urban areas have fallen.
Subsequently, Major General Dalsey, the commander of the 4th Army of the US Army, knew that the reinforcements in the 3rd Army were not coming for a long time. With the strength of the 4th Army of the US Army, he could not defend Corona. Therefore, at 3 pm, he ordered
Give up Corona, led more than 30,000 remnants of troops and retreated eastward. The Chinese team pursued them relentlessly, and obviously would not allow these tens of thousands of American troops to escape.
Five kilometers east of Corona, the 3rd US Army was on its way.
