"Total attack begins!"

At seven o'clock in the morning of February 13, Li Weijun issued the order for a general attack on New York City. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Fire!"

In the waters of New York Bay, the main guns of the ships of the First Fleet fired a salvo.

"Fire!"

On the main island of Manhattan, in Battery Park, a salvo of 155-mm heavy howitzer fire was fired from a gate hidden in the shade of a tree.

In an instant, a dense howling sound sounded in the sky, waking up the American troops on various positions in New York.

"Enemy attack! Hide! ”

As he spoke, countless cannonballs rained down.

Boom Boom Boom ......

Shells exploded one after another, the earthquake trembled, the buildings collapsed, countless bricks, gravel, and sand were **** in all directions, and the dust was flying, sandwiched between the screams of American soldiers, and then flesh and blood flew everywhere.

The sudden large-scale artillery bombardment alerted Miles, the commander of the US military who was commanding the operation in the rear.

"It's not good, the Chinese Imperial Army has launched a general attack! Find out where you're fighting! ”

As a commander, Miles needed to know the general direction of attack of the Chinese Imperial Army.

Soon, reports came back from various positions of the US army.

"Lower Manhattan, Long Island, and Newark were simultaneously attacked by the Chinese Imperial Army fleet and army artillery!"

"What? The three places were attacked by the Chinese Imperial Navy and Army at the same time? How is this possible? In total, there is one main attack and two assists, it can't all be main attacks! ”

Miles didn't believe it and ordered the detectives to continue.

Suddenly, Miles remembered what MacArthur had reminded him.

"What's going on on the upper Hudson?"

"Report, the Hudson River line is quiet, nothing happens!"

Quiet?

Miles suddenly tensed, and the quieter it was, the more something was wrong.

"Send airships upstream along the Hudson River to reconnoitre!"

Manhattan Island's Central Street, which is the widest main street in New York, is 20 kilometers long, and is the most prosperous financial street in New York.

Therefore, Miles deployed heavy troops on Central Street, dug deep trenches, and used the ruins of collapsed buildings to build defensive positions, which have been blocking the attack of the Chinese Imperial Army.

At this moment, the American troops were hiding in the trenches, hiding from the heavy shelling of the Chinese Imperial Army.

Half an hour later, the artillery fire of the Chinese Imperial Army extended, and the American troops immediately understood that it was time for the Chinese Imperial Army to launch an infantry charge.

"Get into position right now!"

U.S. officers at all levels shouted one after another, telling their subordinates to quickly enter the position, they knew very well the speed of the Chinese Empire's attack, as long as they were half a beat slower, the absolute position would be lost, and their own lives would not be guaranteed.

This time, however, when the American soldiers quickly moved into position, plus heavy machine guns and automatic rifles to prepare for the battle, they suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The ground was still shaking, the sand on the trenches was falling with a clatter, and the roar of machinery was heard in the air.

The U.S. troops in the trench then moved forward, looking through the black smoke in front of them to see what was going on in the smoke screen.

The roar was getting closer and closer, and the US officers and soldiers stared wide-eyed, not knowing what was happening.

Suddenly, a dense thumping sound was heard, shot out of the smoke screen.

"Watch out for cannonballs!"

The U.S. officer shouted and took the lead in lying down.

However, the so-called cannonball that landed did not explode, but continued to release black smoke.

"Fack! It's a smoke bomb! ”

"All on alert! The Chinese Imperial Army is about to rush forward! ”

"Heavy machine gun fire!"

Previously, when the Chinese Imperial Army attacked, it liked to launch smoke bombs, create a barrage, block the sight of the US military, and then quietly launch a charge, and in a short time you could rush to the front of the US military position.

Faced with this tactic, the US military could only use heavy machine guns to strafe the smoke screen.

Dada......

The heavy machine guns of the US army were frantically pouring bullets, and apart from the clanging sound of clanging sounds, there was no muffled snort of the soldiers of the Chinese Imperial Army who had been shot.

"Something is wrong!"

Some US officers and men wondered, and many of them subconsciously stood up to see what was going on.

Tata Tata Tata Tata ......

The smoke screen suddenly sounded the sound of heavy machine gun fire characteristic of the Chinese Imperial Army, and the dense light shot through the black curtain and strafed the American positions.

Those American officers and soldiers who stood up with curiosity were instantly hit by a dense number of bullets, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere.

The next moment, the U.S. military once again frantically counterattacked, pouring bullets into the smoke screen.

Except for the crackling and clanging sounds, no one was heard from being shot.

The roar was getting closer, and the American troops in the trenches were getting more and more nervous, stemming from their fear of the unknown in the smokescreen.

Finally, the smoke grenades in front of the U.S. positions were exhausted, the front gradually became clearer, and the U.S. troops also saw the guys who made a loud roar.

"What kind of monster is this?"

The U.S. troops, who saw the tank for the first time, were instantly stunned.

Some American soldiers raised their M1893 automatic rifles and shot at the "monster", first with a single shot, and then with a burst of shots, all of which were bounced off, and then they understood that it was an iron guy.

"What can I do? Bullets can't pierce this monster! ”

There are also unwilling American soldiers who even took out their pistols and opened fire, but whether it is a rifle or a pistol, in front of the T23 tanks of the Chinese Imperial Army, these small arms are useless.

There is a way to come and not to be rude.

In the face of the bullets of the American army, the tank crews of the Chinese Imperial Army immediately responded to them with heavy machine guns.

The Thunderbolt heavy machine gun opened fire quickly, and rows of 12.7 mm large-caliber heavy machine gun bullets suddenly strafed at the US troops, and in the blink of an eye, the US positions were covered with blood.

The U.S. troops were unwilling, seeing that the "monsters" were approaching, and their heavy machine guns also concentrated their fire on the tanks, and the cremation was shining, but unfortunately it was still ineffective.

At this time, the tanks of the Chinese Imperial Army suddenly stopped, and the US troops were stunned, and some people even naively thought that the heavy machine guns worked.

Just when the U.S. military was wondering, several T23 tanks suddenly turned their turrets and opened fire with a bang.

Boom! Boom!

Tank shells fired straight through, instantly blowing up the heavy machine gun positions of the US troops one after another.

The U.S. military was stunned again, only to find out that the "monster" could still fire.

In just a few minutes, more than a dozen T23 tanks relied on 37-mm short-barreled guns and 12.7-mm heavy machine guns to directly cut a bloody path and rushed to the US position.

After being slaughtered by a dozen tanks, there was not much left of the heavily defended street positions of the US army, and the infantry of the Chinese Imperial Army following behind the tanks quickly rushed into the US positions, cleared the remnants of the US troops, and occupied the US positions.

Miles deployed more than a dozen defensive positions on Central Street, each intersection heavily guarded.

The Chinese Imperial Army opened the way with tanks and constantly broke through the positions of the American troops, which suddenly frightened the American troops and knelt on the ground.

When the news reached the rear command, Miles was also shocked and hurried to the front line in Manhattan.

At this sight, Miles was also frightened.

"What the hell is this?"

Miles wanted to know what the "monsters" were that rushed to the American positions and slaughtered the American soldiers, but unfortunately he didn't have time to think about it, because the American troops were being slaughtered, one-sided slaughter, and a company of troops had just been thrown up, and they were dead in the blink of an eye.

This way of death, even the battle-hardened Miles felt trembling in the depths of his soul, and the American soldiers in the rear were even more frightened.

They were not afraid of a bloody battle with the Chinese Imperial Army, but they were slaughtered by such a one-sided slaughter, so that they had no power to fight back, and they were terrified from the bottom of their hearts in this passive situation.

"Is there such a monster in other directions?"

"Report to the commander, there are no other two battlefields!"

Miles understood that this must be the main direction of attack of the Chinese Imperial Army, and the other two directions must be feints to contain the US forces.

After confirming this matter, Miles forgot the direction of the Hudson River and threw the main force of the American army into the Manhattan battlefield.

It's just that Miles took it for granted, he thought that there was always a way to block the "monster" weapons of the Chinese Imperial Army, but after a few hours of bloody fighting, except for the corpses of more than 10,000 American troops, there was no sign that he could block the offensive of the Chinese Imperial Army.

This is just Central Street, and the losses of the American army in a dozen streets throughout the Manhattan battlefield add up to more than 40,000 people.

Miles was so angry that he vomited blood, it was only a few hours, and if the bloody battle continued like this, even if there were three million American troops, they would not be able to withstand attrition.

"Turn all the heavy artillery and smash these iron turtles for me."

"Commander, all the heavy artillery is transferred, then the firepower of the other lines of defense will be too weak!"

Some U.S. generals raised concerns, but Myers was convinced that his judgment was correct, and concluded that the direction of attack of the Imperial Chinese Army was in Manhattan.

So, for the next day and night, the elite of the American army around New York gathered in the direction of Manhattan, and a large number of heavy artillery used to defend the Hudson River was transferred to bombard the tanks of the Chinese Imperial Army.

The reconnaissance planes in the air flew over New York, and the military movements of the US troops were clearly visible.

The airship sent by Miles to reconnoiter the upper Hudson River also encountered a reconnaissance plane of the Imperial Chinese Army on the way.

You must know that the pilots of the Imperial Chinese Air Force all wear pistols, and the pilots of reconnaissance planes are no exception.

When the reconnaissance plane spotted the US airship, the pilots of the Chinese Empire directly took out their pistols and exploded the US airship with a few bullets.

Even so, it did not arouse Miles's alarm, he was really mad by the tanks of the Chinese Imperial Army, and his mind was full of thinking about how to deal with the tanks.

Li Weijun deliberately waited for the main force of the US army to assemble in Manhattan, and the more US troops were assembled, the greater the results of the encirclement and annihilation war in the future.

Miles was unaware of the problem, but two of his men, Barton and Marshall, had been alerted to MacArthur in advance and had focused their attention on the Hudson River.

The two had 100,000 troops, including 30,000 American troops equipped with advanced automatic rifles, and Myers had already transferred the elite of the two to rotate the Manhattan battlefield, but Barton and Marshall refused to carry out the order, insisting on leaving the elite in the upper reaches of the Hudson River to guard against the possible sudden crossing of the river by the Chinese Imperial Army.

Miles was already angry, and the American troops on the frontal battlefield suffered heavy casualties, all of them were elite soldiers, and at this time Patton and Marshall refused to transfer back troops, but persuaded Miles to defend Hudson and Upstream with heavy troops.

This was the most taboo for the commander, and Myers immediately ordered Patton and Marshall to be removed from their posts and replaced by a general.

Patton and Marshall had the intention to resist, but unfortunately that meant rebellion, and the two of them were not mentally prepared to rebel, so they could only be captured.

Leaving the Hudson River, Barton and Marshall looked at each other, both shaking their heads sadly and sighing.

In the next five days, the offensive of the Chinese Imperial Army on Manhattan Island was still fierce, holding back the main force of the American army and holding back Miles's nerves.

During these five days, the tanks of the Chinese Empire played a majestic role every day, killing American corpses all over the field and bleeding like rivers. If it weren't for Li Weijun's deliberate suppression of the offensive, I am afraid that the US troops would have been frightened and began to retreat on a large scale.

Li Weijun deliberately gave Miles a hint of thought, making him think that he could find a way to fight the tank and not retreat in a hurry.

During this period, five T23 tanks suffered various failures, broke down on the battlefield, and were then destroyed by American shells and grenades, which made Miles think that the tanks were not invincible, and the American troops had confidence and the call for retreat was suppressed.

In the early morning of February 19, the Chinese Imperial Army, which was secretly lurking upstream of Hudson, finally moved.

Under the cover of heavy artillery fire, hundreds of tracked boat bridge vehicles rushed into the Hudson River, and in just a few hours, steel pontoon bridges were erected.

Thirty T23 tanks quickly passed over the bridge and landed on the west bank of the Hudson River.

In the face of the torrent of steel, the resistance of the US shore defenders was futile, and after paying a heavy price, the US troops were frightened by this steel monster, and abandoned their positions and fled after a mental breakdown.

After the tank units of the Imperial Chinese Army defeated the US shore defense forces on the west bank of the Hudson River, the main force began to cross the river rapidly, and dozens of pontoon bridges made the main force of the Imperial Chinese Army cross the river quite quickly.

Especially the units of the two tank regiments, they were very maneuverable. The tanks could not catch up with the fleeing American troops, but the tank regiment caught up, and it was a four-wheeled tank, extremely fast, and the heavy machine guns installed on it strafed the backs of the fleeing American troops, sweeping a large area.

In fact, Miles only transferred the most elite 30,000 troops under Patton and Marshall to Manhattan, and the remaining 70,000 American troops did not move, after all, Myers captured Patton and Marshall, so these American troops were not convinced, so they did not dare to move.

However, these 70,000 American troops were chased by the two chariot regiments of the Chinese Imperial Army, running away from their armor and losing their armor, and the corpses that were killed were all over the field.

The sudden change made Miles, who was supervising the battle in Manhattan, instantly frightened.

It was only at this moment that he remembered what MacArthur had told him, and the reasons why Barton and Marshall had objected to his orders, and Miles regretted it for a moment.

The loss of the upper reaches of the Hudson River means that the rear routes of the American troops in the urban area of New York are about to be cut off, and millions of American troops will face the danger of total annihilation if they do not withdraw in time.

Thinking of this, Miles suddenly became even more nervous, and hurriedly readjusted the operational deployment, leaving the broken rear troops, and the main force withdrawing from the New York City as soon as possible.

However, what made Miles bitter was that the Chinese Imperial Army quickly launched a strong attack on all fronts, pinning down the main force of the American army and unable to withdraw the line of fire.

"Report to the commander, the Seventh Army has just been defeated, the commander has been killed, and the Manhattan Line has been lost!"

"What?"

When Miles heard this, his eyes went black and he fell to the ground with a snort. (To be continued.) )
