Chapter 1824: Running Late at Night
When Salt Lake City fell into peace, it was already early in the morning, and when the war began, it was close to 3:30 in the morning, but it was only 5 o'clock in the morning when it ended, and in an hour and a half, the entire Salt Lake City was attacked, and the speed was really very fast, of course, it had something to do with the fact that the defenders were not strong, the defenders of Salt Lake City themselves were only the National Guard, adding up to more than 700 people, leaving 3,000 people, speaking of militia, but the vast majority of them had no professional military training, at most they were armed peasants, Compared with the Japanese armored forces armed to the teeth, it is not half a point. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
If you can choose, Kawasaki Meijing will not choose to attack the city with a tank, itself is not a correct choice, for the tank, enough vision and distance, is the key to protect the tank, into the city, there are many shelters and covers, maybe, next to a window inside, you may throw out an explosives bag.
Even in later generations, the main battle tank, facing the Molotov cocktail that can be attached to the tank and burns wildly, there is not much good way, the explosive package is the same, more than 10 kg of explosives explode, it can cause huge damage to the tank, the protection of the tank comes from the armor, but the armor is made of steel, not a shield, no matter how his strength has a limit, in a small area, the explosion of a large number of explosives, the driving force generated, is enough to cause the deformation of steel.
During the Second Gulf War, there were examples of the main battle tanks of the United States, which were destroyed in the street battles, but the United States occupied an absolute superiority on land and sea, and even on the premise that the personnel occupied an absolute superiority, in the pictures and news, the main battle tanks of the US army burned one by one and became ruins, all revealing the cruelty of street fighting.
In the United States in this era, tanks have just appeared, and they don't even have a complete way to deal with tanks, let alone a way to deal with tanks, combined with street battles and city stations, even if, there is, it is not something that Salt Lake City, a small city in the central part of the country, can have, this is a very inconspicuous small city in the central region, even if it is placed in 100 years, it cannot be regarded as a big city, it does not even have a regular army, let alone counterattack against tanks.
Salt Lake City and Ogden are just a special case, just a special case of showing their power, and for a while after the Sakura Project, they will rarely attack the city, at most they will only destroy the railway junction, and if necessary, the destruction that enters the city is also fast in and out.
In this case, the damage that may be caused is much smaller, but it is very critical to the protection of strength, as long as the legendary beauty can complete the destruction of the railway from Salt Lake City to this side of the Rocky Mountains in a few days, he will have a strategic depth of 500 kilometers, and at that time, the role that the tank corps can play will be raised to the maximum.
The battle of Salt Lake City came to an end, and finally ended with a great victory for Japan, from Ogden to Salt Lake City, there was almost no loss, but it was already the ultimate limit, with the rest of the camp, Salt Lake City was calm, but because of the battle of Salt Lake City, the huge sensation caused by it began to spread and shook the whole United States on this night, even when the day came.
This night was also a sleepless night for many Americans, between Ogden and Salt Lake City, those abandoned American troops, they only started to act more than half an hour after the Japanese armored forces completely left, examined the wounded, abandoned some of the seriously wounded soldiers, no way, for them, there are no doctors, no nurses, if they want to rescue these American troops, it is simply impossible to do, rather than take them, difficult march, it is better to abandon them, light equipment.
After walking out of one or two kilometers, the fleeing team once again diverged, this time, it was the turn of some of the lightly injured who were unable to move, and they also slowed down their marching speed, but for the seriously injured who could not be rescued and could not be saved, they gave up, and the lightly injured were not good, they were only temporarily incapacitated, after bandaging, the wound no longer bleed, their lives were saved, for this part of the people, finally after consultation, several volunteers were sent to help, the rest, They knew very well that as long as the Japanese did not get out of the car and stayed on the tanks, even if Salt Lake City fought them, they would not be able to find out that they were Japanese, and such a judgment would lose its objectivity and perhaps cause huge losses.
Japan has already made a move to the United States, and although it is not known how Japan entered the hinterland of the United States, there is only one explanation for this. Rebels, bandits, and regular armies, these are completely different concepts, and if the United States Joint Conference misjudged and only sent a small part of the army to suppress it, wouldn't it be attacked by armored forces?
The battalion commander held this idea and hurried all the way, and when he was about halfway there, one of his men next to him exclaimed loudly, and about 7 kilometers away from the railway line, in Salt Lake City, not only did the sound of dense gunfire sound, but the fire also burned brightly.
They were only more than 30 kilometers away from Salt Lake City, and in the silent night sky, the sound of heavy machine guns was particularly clear, not to mention the fire, and the raging fire in the dark night could be heard far away. There is no need to confirm, these people know very well that Salt Lake City has been attacked, an armored force, under the all-out attack, Salt Lake City must be more auspicious, they are sad at the same time, but they are more firm in their beliefs, Ogden and Salt Lake City are just beginning, do not spread the news as much as possible, let the alliance clear this armed force, maybe, bigger trouble is behind.
This group of people buried their heads in the road, and actually walked 40 kilometers in five hours from about 4 o'clock to 9 o'clock in the morning, an average of about 8 kilometers per hour, and finally spread the news to the US military that the Japanese were the masterminds behind the scenes.
In the dark night, there was not only such a wave on the way, but on the other hand, another group of people who ran out of Salt Lake City, Henry and Mark, one of them was the head of government, the other was the head of the military, and they were also divided into two parts, Henry continued to go south, ready to go to California, in his opinion, such a huge armored force, the whole United States may have nothing to resist, if you really want to say, only the most powerful state in the entire west, California, is possible, There is not only a magnificent Rocky Mountains, but also a large number of troops, Henry's family, there is still a certain amount of power there, it is the best choice to go there, there are many people who follow Henry, most of them are high-ranking government officials and big families, for Americans, this kind of walking, it is nothing, at most it can only be called a turnaround, and it has nothing to do with running away without a fight.
As for Mark, as the commander of the National Guard, he went east, although it was very dangerous to go east, this force entered Salt Lake City, starting from Ogden, to Salt Lake City, the goal was very clear, and then, he had two choices, one to the east and the other to the west, as long as it was to the east, he couldn't run away, only to the west. But he was willing to gamble that the power of the east was stronger than that of the west, and it was much stronger, and if this man still had reason, he would definitely go west, not east.
Of course, both Henry and Mark had such a question in their hearts, what these people were, and why they attacked the heartland of the United States. What is more than the beginning of the war, and I don't know who the opponent is, so sad, but the tanks are like this, these tanks are very similar to the tanks of the US army in terms of appearance and combat methods, but on the contrary, there is no sign on these tanks, and it is impossible to see whether they are the United States or any other country, as for the bandits, even he is the commander of the National Guard, it is difficult to get tanks, and the tanks are operated in a spare time, by chance, let alone bandits, In the United States, there are triads and the Ku Klux Klux Klan, but bandits, there are established, powerful bandits, which really don't.
By chance, Mark thought, could this be made by the Japanese, even he didn't believe it, the United States sent tanks to attack Japan, but also to take the Pacific Railway, after transporting the tanks to Vancouver, it can continue, from Vancouver to Juno, only more than a thousand kilometers, for tank commanders, it is a difficult task to complete, this is still on its own territory, although Canada is not the United States, but against the Japanese, he is an ally, a close friend, but what does Japan have, From Alaska to Salt Lake City in the United States, almost more than 5000 kilometers, which is insurmountable for tanks, and countless problems need to be solved.
This is also a dead knot, not only now bothering Henry and Mark, but also troubled countless American high-level people, and even more and more reports show that they are Japanese, these American high-level people are still wondering, what method Japan used to enter the hinterland of the United States, if you don't know about tanks, you may pat your head and take Japan as an opponent, but the more you know about tanks, the more you feel incredible, a 1000-kilometer process, let the tank lose more than one-third, Under the premise of a huge logistics team, the United States cannot imagine that when they are fighting outside the country, without supplies, without maintenance personnel, and even under the premise of being attacked at any time, it is obviously an impossible task to get tanks 5,000 kilometers away?
