A small city with a total population of just over 10,000 people, without even city walls, how could such a city withstand the onslaught of armored forces, let alone that they had no defense. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As a city in the middle of the United States, more than 1,000 kilometers away from the border between the United States and Canada, it is safe in the eyes of Americans, even if the Chinese occupy Hawaii, there is a threat to the entire West Coast, so that the West Coast is noisy, but the huge Rocky Mountains, like a huge wall, protect the cities in the middle of the United States, so that Americans are very relieved, the war burns to the West Coast, and it is impossible to attack the hinterland of the United States.

As for Canada, the Americans have never regarded Canada as a threat, a place with a population of only one-tenth of the United States, and far inferior to the United States in all aspects such as science and technology. That is, in the Great Lakes, near Chicago, the United States stationed part of its troops, not to guard against Canada, but to suppress bandits.

The Americans did not expect that the combination of Japan and China would burst out with such a powerful force, and an armored torrent rushed from the Great Plains, unstoppable, and secretly rushed to the vicinity of the Pacific Railway in the central part of the country.

The strong armor power directly bulldozed the wooden fence on the perimeter, and rushed directly into front of those wooden houses, the thick wooden walls could withstand the invasion of the cold wind, but could not block the bullets of the heavy machine gun, about 7 mm bullets, penetrated the barrier of the wall, and turned Ogden into a desperate area.

In a city of more than 10,000 people, there are thousands of houses, no matter how you say it, even if the tanks of 3 divisions and regiments besiege it together, it is impossible to completely kill these houses in an instant, when the Americans inside were awakened and found that someone was attacking, those bloody Americans began to counterattack.

The United States can own guns, but the United States in this era is not the only superpower in the world, and it is possible for ordinary people to have one or two guns, or even seven or eight, but in this era, even ordinary urban female workers, their monthly salary is about 5 to 8 US dollars, even if they are technical engineers, it is only 20 US dollars, and a rifle may only be 10 US dollars in military procurement, but in the gun shop, after several layers of price increases, the price is more than 30 US dollars, These guns are really a luxury.

Although it is said that with gold as a general equivalent, the price of an ounce of gold can reach thousands of dollars in the United States in later generations, some things are not general equivalents, which are equivalent to, not really equal. After all, what determines the standard of living is always the basic means of subsistence, rice, flour, oil, eggs, meat, etc., at the beginning of the 20th century, 20 US dollars could be exchanged for an ounce of gold, but what about the means of subsistence in exchange, if you take rice and noodles as the benchmark point, it may only be equivalent to four or five hundred, and in the 21st century, what can four or five hundred do, you can only maintain basic living needs.

In fact, at the beginning of the 20th century, the same is true, these monthly salaries, basically a fixed cost of living, most of the workers, can only barely make ends meet, a slight change, the family is ruined is not a few, in this case, even if the United States does not ban guns, there are only a few guns, more than 10,000 people, there are more than 1,000 guns, such a proportion is already considered high, for some small cities in the east, there may be only a few hundred, but among the more than 1,000, there are more than 8 percent, are more than 20 years ago firearms.

Such a weapon, used to defend against horse thieves, is already good, in the later Westerns of the United States, many horse thieves laugh at the city, but in fact, such a move, after the 20th century, it is very rare, on the one hand, the horse thieves have been cleared almost, on the other hand, it is still among the civilians, the relationship between the rise of guns, in the rise of civilian force, ordinary civilians, also have enough force to resist these lawless enemies, dare to defy the law is very small.

The new army is not a horse thief, at least the three armored divisions below, from the east, west and north directions, attacking the city, all of them are armored vehicles armed to the teeth, which can block the artillery fire of the regular army, and in the face of 10,000 regular troops, they can unceremoniously rush forward, not to mention this guerrilla scattered, the resistance of the United States has always been relatively weak, and all the places of counterattack have been hit by the Japanese army, and finally the gunfire is getting more and more sparse, but the fire of Ogden is burning more and more fiercely, The end result was that in less than 40 minutes, the battle was over, the entire city was destroyed, and the losses in personnel and materiel were enormous.

This is a step of victory, did not arrive in Salt Lake City, but it is already the first step in the attack on the Pacific Railroad, of course, they also know that they will be completely exposed, as early as yesterday, they knew that they could not hide, when attacking the city, they did not consider the problem of hiding, or cutting off the telephone line, with the speed of the telegram, I am afraid that the news would have spread a long time ago, in this case, the secret has no effect, what they need to do is to avoid the main force of the American army, according to the results of their assessment, It will take time for the United States to mobilize enough armies to threaten them to hold back their armored forces.

In this time, it is their opportunity, they need to have enough time to destroy enough railroads, just walk along the railway, the East Coast, will always be the focus of the United States, the military strength of the East Coast of the United States, at least more than 5 of the West Coast, plus the transfer of troops in Alaska, more from the East Coast, because the distance here is closer, the difficulty of mobilization is also very small, so, after the Cherry Blossom Project cut off Salt Lake City, it needs to go directly to the west, from Salt Lake City to the Rocky Mountains, It's probably a few hundred kilometers.

When the Panzer Corps attacked Ogden, there was also a small part of the force, attacking the station, the station was on the periphery of Ogden, although it was also turned to the west, but there was no industry around Ogden, let alone population and agriculture, and he had very few stations, much worse than Salt Lake City, and the station was placed on the edge of the city.

This station is equipped with 30 road guards, and also has some weapons, but this weapon is not at all good compared to the armored force, a 40 tanks only took 10 minutes to break through the station, and then began to arrange explosives, when the armored force completely broke through Ogden, these bombs were finally arranged, when the detonation began, the entire Ogden station, 3 railway bridges, and important railway fulcrums including 12 nodes, were blown up.

It will take a long time to recover from just such a node, not to mention that this is only the first step on the road of the new army's attack, and next, the attack continues.

On the Japanese side, there was no cover-up, because of the relationship of time, and the connection between the telegraph was not severed, and Ogden's side still passed the news of Ogden's attack through cable telegrams, the first news was quite simple, but it was attacked by a large number of unknown forces, and the second was the attack of armored forces, basically, the situation on Ogden's side was told.

Not to mention the U.S. government and military, how surprised they would be when they received this telegram, in the command vehicle of Kawasaki Meijing, Kawasaki Meijing received a report from the correspondent that Ogden was breached, and immediately began to contact the rear headquarters, and the radio waves passed through the entire United States, and then connected to the radar repeater located 500 kilometers away from their position. The first time to the headquarters of the place.

Through the radio repeater, it was transported to Alaska, Japan's base camp, cheered for this moment, has been pressed and beaten by the United States, this kind of grievance in the heart can be imagined, and now it has finally taken revenge on the United States, the Sakura Project, itself exists to fight back against the United States, and now, it has finally achieved the result, and it is the final result, this excitement in the heart, it can be imagined, as if it is a black cloud pressed on the heart, basically swept away.

As far as Japan is concerned, as long as it hits the United States, it is a victory, and after starting from Canada, they have been sweating, that is, after arriving in the United States, they have been relieved a little. Anyway, as long as it reaches the territory of the United States, even if it solves the problem, even if there is no way to complete the ultimate goal and destroy the Pacific Railroad, it is only in the United States, after passing the Missouri River, it can be regarded as achieving the goal.

Now, even more so, the destruction of the greatest railroad in the history of the United States, the key railroad connecting the East and the West, for Japan's show of force, it will be all-round, which is no less than a shot in the arm for Japan, basically, it is like playing chicken blood, a little crazy, next, is it according to the arrangement of the Sakura Plan, or go further, attack eastward along the Pacific Railroad, and pose a greater threat to the United States.

When the Japanese were excited about attacking the United States, Baotou had been waiting for the news, and the entire Sakura Project was basically carried out with the help of the Chinese side, and to a certain extent, the feasibility of this plan was very high, and it was basically achievable, but to what extent it was realized, it needed opportunities, and it depended on how hard the Japanese worked and how lucky.

Coincidence in any case, it may occur, the territory of Canada is not very likely, but in the United States, the population has increased a lot, maybe it will be discovered, behind the plan, the plan in the United States, may be adjusted at any time, once it is discovered, directly change the purpose, after the Missouri River, basically, China is waiting, the probability of realization, is very high, basically to achieve the goal is not any problem, 2 days, was discovered by the United States, They can only be in Salt Lake City.

The entire fleet of armored vehicles was completed under China's modification, so 5,000 armored vehicles and tanks, how powerful is it, if the United States is not able to preset positions in advance, mobilize a large number of artillery and agitated forces, there is no way to resist the offensive of this armored force, according to the Japanese side's assessment according to China's help, even Japan's most elite troops, at least 20 divisions and regiments, and all kinds of heavy weapons are ready, to be able to completely encircle this armored force, If there is any twist or turn, he will be allowed to escape.

Now, even if it is not Salt Lake City, it is the city in front of Salt Lake City, but the distance between this city and Salt Lake City is only 53 kilometers, and it is only a 2-hour drive, which means that the possibility of Salt Lake City winning is very high.

This is the focus of China, and if one or even several cities are destroyed, if the United States goes all out and comes up with the construction method of the Panama Canal, it may be possible to temporarily connect this railway in a month or two, at least to the extent that it can be used, which is not difficult, even if it is completely repaired, it is not necessarily very difficult.

However, Chen Cang's plan is different, specifically destroying railway nodes in the Rocky Mountains, especially mountain tunnels and the like, which is the most difficult to repair, and it is almost impossible to repair.

After the Sakura Project was opened, in a few days, China's selection of personnel has been finally completed, the total number of personnel, not reached the number of 600 people, but it was also compressed to 680 people, 80 more people, for the overall plan, there is not much impact, but 80 more people who can carry enough explosives,

It is conceivable that the Pacific Railroad was cut off in the north, and it must have been shaken by the United States, and they took advantage of this time to first blow up the Rocky Mountains and the part near the Great Plains, and the reason for this is that it can be regarded as a plan to support Japan from the side, and the troops from the west coast will not be able to be mobilized through the Pacific Railway, and this is closer to the Great Plains, and the United States may not know who made it, and then slowly move until the buttons on both sides are sealed, and then gradually deal with the middle part,

There is a premise here, that is, here in the Rocky Mountains, there can't be too many garrisons. China is preparing to fight a time difference, and through time considerations, the West Coast will definitely send troops, but after the first wave of troops is dispatched, before the second wave of troops is dispatched, it is the best choice.
