In 1917, U.S. President Wilson called for a special session of Congress, and members of both the Senate and House of Representatives gathered in a room, and when President Wilson quickly walked into the room, they all stood up. President Wilson stood there for a moment before he spoke:

"I am fully aware of the gravity of the action I am about to take, and I propose that the Reichstag declare that the recent actions taken by the German political axe are in essence a declaration of war on the United States."

"It is a terrible thing to throw peace-loving people into war, but justice is more precious than peace, and we are fighting for what we have always cherished -- the boil, the right and the freedom of the small nations, and bringing peace and security to the nations of the world by uniting the free people of the world."

President Wilson's passionate speech brought tears to the eyes of many congressmen, who felt that President Wilson's request was extremely serious. As President Wilson left the Capitol and returned to the White House, crowds on both sides of the street outside the Capitol cheered on President Wilson. President Wilson, sitting in the car, shook his head sadly, and said, "Think about what they are cheering for, and the speech I am giving today is a message of death to our young people, and they are cheering so much." ”

On April 6, 1917, the Reichstag approved a declaration of war against Germany.

The Entente welcomed the United States into the war. The war was getting worse and worse for the Entente, who had already lost a lot of troops, money, and supplies. The warships of the Entente were being attacked by German submarines more and more seriously with heavy losses. The British naval blockade greatly reduced the food supply to Germany, and now, Britain itself is facing an acute food shortage. Representatives of the Entente went to Washington to explain to the United States what they needed. They need supplies, especially food, and it's very urgent. They also need money in order to buy supplies, they need ships to get supplies from the United States to Europe, they also need American soldiers.

President Wilson and Congress worked together to plunge the entire country into the war. Congress gave Wilson new wartime powers, and he soon set up a committee to build ships, increase industrial production, and control shipping throughout the country; He set up an agricultural agency in order to increase food production and food exports; He set up an information committee in order to gain the support of the general public for the war. These efforts by Wilson were successful. The Allies quickly received the ships, supplies, and funds they needed from the United States, and more importantly, they quickly got American soldiers.

Entente leaders said they would only need about half a million U.S. troops, but the U.S. decided to build a much larger army. Soon, large numbers of American troops crossed the Atlantic to Europe, where they were to fight Germany in the western European theater. The new forces acquired by the Entente would play an extremely important role in the defeat of Germany. To find out what's next, take a look at next week's breakdown.

Soon the American [***] team came to the continent, and they marched through the streets of Paris, where they were warmly welcomed by the French, who cheered these young Americans, threw flowers and kisses at them.

The American [***] team came to the grave of the Marquis de Lafayette. The Marquis de Lafayette was the leader of the French [***] team, and during the American Reading War, he traveled to the United States to help the Americans. The Americans wanted to repay the French for helping them more than a hundred years ago. An American [***] officer spoke at Lafayette's grave and said, "Lafayette, we Americans are here!" ”

Yes, the Americans are coming, and they are ready to take part in the bloodiest battle to date.

Week after week passed, more and more American [***] teams came to Europe. By October 1917, the total number of American troops arriving in Europe had reached 100,000. The commander of the U.S. forces in Europe was John A. General Pershing. General Pershing's army did not take part in the battle directly, but was training, building bases, and preparing supplies. Then he sent a small force to the border of Switzerland and Germany. The Americans fought a short but very fierce battle with the Germans.

The Germans knew that the Americans had not fought before, so they tried to fight fiercely with the Americans with bayonets and guns!

The American soldiers, who had not fought before, were visibly alarmed, but a lieutenant colonel of the American Army, who commanded this small unit, stepped forward in time and directed the troops to challenge the German offensive.

The name of this brave lieutenant colonel was Conwell S. Pitt.

Lieutenant Colonel Pete!

A warrior who returned to the United States from distant China to fight!

He is in China and has a wealth of combat experience. In Sichuan, China, he participated in countless battles and was even awarded the rank of major general for his bravery!

This has never been done before in the history of China.

Moreover, he also has deep connections in the United States, his predecessors, who fought in the Civil War, have won widespread respect, and his family, which runs good businesses, has both the United States and China.

More importantly, the Americans, who have never fought a war, need such an officer with rich combat experience too much!

Pete was assigned to the 2nd Division, commanding an infantry regiment. And the Chinese he brought with him, who are said to have the same rich combat experience, were also placed in Pete's unit.

The current situation annoyed Pete a little, he currently has only one company of forces in his hands, and they are all on the battlefield for the first time, but on the opposite side of him, there are Germans with rich battlefield experience.

"Iron, iron!" Pete screamed.

"Do what?" Black Iron asked loudly with a shot at the opposite side.

A few bullets came, and Pete hid behind cover: "What now?" ”

Hei Tie glared at him fiercely: "You are the regiment commander, I am just a company commander, what should I do, you ask me?" ”

"God!" Pete was a little annoyed.

Yes, he is a regimental commander, this is quite a big officer, but he has never commanded a battle alone! If Wang Hengyue was by his side now, then he wouldn't have to worry about anything.

Braving the rain of bullets and running to Black Iron's side, Pete seemed a little busy: "Hell, Iron, help me think of a way, these people are all rookies, they have never fought, we can easily collapse!" ”

Hei Tie couldn't cry or laugh, who is the chief here? If Heng Shuai hadn't repeatedly explained himself before going abroad, he must protect Pete, then he would have kicked him a few times, and then turned around and left.

I thought it would be enough to go to the United States for a few days, but who would have thought that after so many days of drifting at sea, I was seasick again, and I almost vomited all my bitter gall.

Hateful glared at Pete: "Seeing that there is no there, the Germans want to attack from there, and then destroy us with bayonets!" You hold on there with people, and if anyone escapes, shoot them! ”

“ok！” Pete responded excitedly: "What about you?" ”

"I'll take a few people, go around the side and go down to the Germans!"

“ok！” Pete answered again and picked up his gun: "Boys, the Germans are not to be feared, defeat them and go to Paris, where a lot of pretty girls are waiting for us." For the sake of the girl, fight! ”

The nerves of the American GI were stimulated at once:

"For the sake of the girl, fight!"

These Americans, who had never fought before, were in a mess on the opposite side, with no crosshairs to speak of, but they completely disregarded the consumption of bullets, but they really pressed the Germans back temporarily.

God, it turns out that those Germans would be scared too!

A young American soldier cheered and recklessly popped his head out, and then his cheers were still on his lips, and a man collapsed with a bang.

He's dead.

"Hell, hell!" Pete shouted, "Don't look up, don't look up!" ”

The American soldiers, who saw dead people on the battlefield for the first time, suddenly became panicked. Oh my God, it's really going to die!

"Shoot, shoot, hell, shoot!" Pete exclaimed in annoyance.

The Germans all pressed back on, and the well-trained German army did not take these rookies seriously.

However, gunfire suddenly rang out on the flanks of the German army, and the two Germans fell to the ground without saying a word.

The Germans were somewhat confused and did not know where the gunfire was coming from.

Pete knew it was Black Iron and they started to do it:

"God forbid, rush!"

"God forbid, rush!"

The chaotic American GIs rushed out desperately, and it was supposed to be an attack by the Germans, but now it has become an American attack.

Messy battles!

Black Iron originally wanted to continue to suppress the Germans for a while, and then send out the signal to attack, but who would have thought that the Americans would rush out inexplicably?

Angry blowing beard and glaring, but what can you do with these rookies?

"Captain, what should I do?" Black Iron asked, a subordinate brought from China.

"What to do? Let's attack! "Black Iron rushed out!

It's too messy, it's too messy. Americans, Chinese, Germans fought together in chaos. The Germans were very skilled, but the Americans were very brave at this time.

Especially those blacks, they can't fight bayonets, but they really play with their lives there.

The Germans were so few in number that they finally couldn't hold it anymore and had to retreat after stabbing a dozen Americans.

This group of American GIs was stunned for a long time, and suddenly realized that the Germans had really retreated, and had they won?

"God, we won!"

Messy cheers erupted, "Win, win!" ”

Pete hugged Black Iron: "Iron, iron, do you see, do you see?" We won, we won! ”

Black Iron couldn't laugh or cry, what kind of victory was this?

Eleven American GIs were killed, seven or eight wounded, and the Germans threw down only three corpses and then retreated on their own initiative, what kind of hellish victory was this?

But no matter what, the first battle of the Americans was "won" under the "command" of Pete after all!
