Chapter 1847: Error in Judgment
For these senior US military officials, the past two days and two nights have been a torment, and when the results have not been discussed, they have exhausted their brains, frantically thinking about all possibilities, and using their own wisdom and thinking to decide what plans the United States needs to implement next, but when this discussion is over and the final resolution comes out, they are already exhausted. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info didn't sleep for two days and two nights in a row, which is a huge burden for any person, not to mention that the participants in the discussion are high-powered generals, the youngest of them is 45 years old, the oldest is over 70 years old, and they didn't go down on the spot, which is already very good, these people didn't even go home, fatigue made them directly tired, and they casually found a lounge to rest.
The joint conference is currently the most important organization of the US Army, but it is not an office building, it is a huge military base, among these military bases, the most is the room, and even every general has his own lounge, which has stayed up for two days and two nights, and the iron body can't stand it, these generals almost didn't go home, they all entered the lounge to rest, which was convenient for the two generals, and they didn't have any hesitation to wake them up.
These generals, after arranging things easily, went to sleep, and some of them didn't even fall asleep, but they were woken up when they seemed to be asleep, and it was only less than 2 hours in total, how long could they be woken up when they didn't have a good rest, how much better could their mood be.
To be able to get to today's position, each of them is not a simple character, seeing the time, it is only less than two hours, which is very clear to the two people on duty, and they have explained before, even if Japan has any new moves, as long as they do not break through the mountain passes of the Rocky Mountains, they can be notified without notifying, but now, in less than 2 hours, they are woken up, something big must have happened.
Regardless of whether they had a good rest or not, they washed their faces with cold water and cleared their minds, they only thought that it was only 2 hours, and the last news came was after 1 o'clock in the morning, that is, 4 hours, the last city, at least more than 300 kilometers away from the Rocky Mountains, 4 hours, unless the Japanese armored forces were flying, there was absolutely no way to cross the Rocky Mountains, but what happened, more than one person had doubts in their hearts, When everyone arrived in the conference room, Brian told him about the current situation, and sure enough, everyone was suppressed, some of them were good at military affairs, and even specially got a map to get it, and carefully explored the location of Sacramento, not everyone had served on the West Coast, and even had the right to decide, most of these generals had not been to the West.
Even if Brian has said it again, they still have to look for it on the map, so that they have the bottom in their hearts, sure enough, as Brian said, Sacramento has some key points, and even said that the bridge that was blown up was carefully selected, if it was changed to a little more west, or more east, it would not have such a big effect, after all, to other places, not Sacramento, all of them are waterways, and they can be bypassed by other methods, and the 4 bridges are cut off together, which is basically, It means that it is no longer possible to move forward from here.
"Are you sure the Japanese did it?" The chairman of the joint meeting asked, as the highest commander of the army, he knew very well that he was Japanese and not Japanese, and these were completely two different concepts. In fact, it was not only him, but the two generals also asked seriously, but unfortunately Sacramento did not find any valuable clues, only mentioning that it might be Japanese.
On the premise that there is no more information, this problem must be solved, and at present it can only be installed on the Japanese, except for this, other aspects, it is quite professional, from the intelligence from the Sacramento side, they can easily analyze that there are not many people involved in this military operation, and it should be with the help of ships, crossing the American coastline to come in.
The United States because of a large number of damaged ships, lost the power to compete with China in the Pacific Ocean, gram does not mean that the United States does not pay attention to coastal defense, near the coastline, there are many small ships, although these ships are impossible to leave the United States coastline 30 kilometers, they are prepared for a sneak attack on the Chinese side, may not be able to block China's sneak attack, but can play a role in early warning, now the early warning has not appeared, even if the Chinese side can cross their early warning system, but the ship will not be very large, There won't be a lot of people either.
It is precisely because there are not many people, so they did not choose to attack Sacramento, compared to the four bridges, the city of Sacramento should be more important, once a relatively solid defense line is established, Japan is equivalent to reopening an attack point on the west coast of the United States, or the weakest point, even if Japan has 20,000 or 30,000 people, for the weak West Coast, it is a nightmare, really like Alaska, take root, it will be a nightmare for the United States. There is no action against the city, not even an attack and cover, the defenders have not investigated any clues, it does not mean that they are strong, it means that there are definitely not many people in this part, and it is not bad to destroy the bridge in Sacramento, and it should not be able to penetrate into it.
Soon, you and I said a word, and the matter was turned over, mainly the current situation, and the two major generals on duty only understood why others were decision-makers, they could only be used as the root cause of duty, and they did not see deeply enough, from such a simple thing, they could tell so many doorways, but they only felt that it was like the end of the world, Japan had hit the west coast, and the entire Central Pacific Railway was erosive.
What the Americans did not realize is that they have taken a detour, misjudged, insufficient intelligence, they simply did not realize that this is the Chinese attacking them, not the Japanese, although the Chen Cang plan was born from the Sakura Plan, but it is backed by all sides, but it is much stronger than the Sakura Plan, even if the United States sends a large number of troops and comes to attack, it is possible to hate on the spot, let alone this, just think that this is a small force and do not care about them, it does not have much impact on Washington, This is a huge mistake, and it directly gives China the opportunity to carry out the follow-up plan.
In Washington's view, from Salt Lake City to Sacramento, it has been explained that Japan's ambitions, the railroad lines they want to destroy near Salt Lake City, and the railroads on this side of the Central Mountains that they want to destroy, the former is just a waste of American time and money, but the latter, is the lifeblood of the United States, in some places, if the damage is more, maybe the entire Pacific Railroad will be completely destroyed, these are quite threatening for the United States. This was something that the United States could not think of, and they could only continue the attack, and even proposed a way to cross the Sacramento river and reinforce directly to the Central Mountains.
The key bridge on this side of Sacramento was destroyed, but these rivers are not very wide and impassable, at least, compared with the Missouri River, I don't know how much smaller, it is a huge river that flows through the entire United States, but this river, but it is a river that flows from Nevada to this side, to a certain extent, this river is not long, it is directly injected into the Atlantic Ocean, at most it is about a kilometer before, and the amount of water is not too large,
In the distance of about 500 kilometers from Sacramento to the Rocky Mountain Pass, there are many stations in between, because the Pacific Railroad is cut off, there are almost 60 trains stranded here, these trains, enough to transport the troops of the three states on the West Coast, in place, to a certain extent, can not start from Sacramento, but in San Francisco, board the ship in San Francisco Bay, and then disembark at a port near the railroad, where the railroad is blown up. Two companies of troops are okay in that place, but if more than 10,000 or even 100,000 troops land, it will not work, for them, the port is the best place.
The United States therefore delayed a little time, or sent more than 100,000 troops, through the central mountain range to advance, what they don't know is that this result has caused the United States to suffer greater losses, before, China's Chen Cang plan, just to cut off both ends, to win the opportunity for the blasting here, more than 100,000 American troops, into the Pacific Railroad this area, surrounded by lofty mountains, this is the most suitable place for aircraft bombing, in a specific place, in a section of the military column, On the premise of loading 2000-3000 people, with a few planes, carpet bombing, railways for other attacks, need to arrange encirclement, and even many aspects of the arrangement, as long as there is a guard, it is unlikely to be discovered, but for strategic aircraft, then there is no problem, even a part of the light aircraft, each aircraft can project about 2 tons of explosives, 50 is 100 tons, for the train, this is simply a nightmare, there is no way to resist.
And the United States just sent 100,000 people into the Central Mountains, and in the end, these people were all wiped out, of course the special forces could not kill so many troops, and even these armies once had the upper hand, but in the Rocky Mountains, extremely precipitous places, and even in some places, as long as the exits at both ends are cut off, it is a Jedi, even if China does not make a move, it will be difficult to escape alive from the middle, not to mention that China still has an aircraft carrier battle group in charge, and the difference in strength is too great.
At that time, it can be said that they made a very quick decision, but it is a pity that they are not facing Japan, a country that they can deduce, but China, which has hidden too many things, and it is these hidden things that make them misjudge.
