Chapter 1813: God Can Save America
The whole of China, even the army thousands of kilometers away, has also been mobilized because of this incident, and in the United States, in the other hemisphere of the earth, Japan's actions have not stopped, starting from the attack on Ogden, Japan's actions have intensified step by step, and the night has gradually deepened, in Ogden, Japan did not use all the tanks, not that Japan did not want to, but in the process of yesterday's rapid march, even if a part of the reserve fuel was used, they also spent time to complete, in order to avoid delay, they chose to be about half of the tanksAfter replenishing most of the fuel, he rushed directly to Ogden, and the remaining half was waiting for the airdrop.

It can't be said that Japan does not move all its strength, the tanks of 3 divisions and regiments, this is a very large force, this force is placed on a small American city, it is simply a big killer, even if it is only half mobilized, it is about 1,600 tanks, more than 10,000 residents, 1,600 tanks, as far as personnel is concerned, 1,600 tanks, each crew 3, that is, close to 5,000, in terms of personnel ratio, it is almost one to two, under such a personnel ratio, it is still armed to the tooth armored troops, there is no problem at allOn the contrary, it is a very unreliable thing to mobilize a large number of tanks together at the risk of lying on their stomachs.
In fact, such a choice is correct, 1,600 tanks, at an interval of about 10 meters, connected end to end, you can go around this small city, only about 3,000 houses in the small city, even the road is only a dozen, the radius will not exceed 12 kilometers, in the tank force guarded all the main roads, rushed into the city of Ogden only 500 tanks, but unfortunately these are enough, the huge armor force, for Ogden, which is almost a wooden structure, is the biggest killer, The Japanese did not care about any humanity at all, and they were not merciful to the citizens of Ogden, and under the premise that the army was outside, it was not suitable to take prisoners, and there was no other way to go but to kill them.
Machine guns, bullets and Molotov cocktails have become the best tools for destroying cities, of course, Molotov cocktails cannot be used as tanks, but there are high-explosive shells as a substitute, the charge of high-explosive shells is enough to cause fires, especially wooden cities, these high-explosive shells are deadly, an hour and a half later, this city in the middle of the United States, which is not too big, is completely in ruins, more than 9 into 5 of the 3,000 houses, were completely destroyed, the raging fires and the corpses everywhere proved that in the past hour and a half, What happened to the city.
The convoy of the new First Army, which had completed all this, began to search for valuable targets in the city, of course, it was basically unlikely, in the midst of the raging fires all over the city, those houses that did not burn, seemed so eye-catching, and at least 900 armored vehicles entered the city limits, like a carpet search for every corner, not letting go of any worthy target.
When Ogden almost encountered hell, not far from Ogden, the armored torrent that was also divided into three teams was rushing to the south of Ogden in the dark night, along the railway with a roar, those who were lucky enough to escape from Ogden, and with the help of the night, avoided the Japanese armored forces, but encountered such a force, hiding in the corner, feeling the strength of the armored torrent, hiding in the grass and trembling timidly, they did not dare to make any movements, just in the city, They are also sheltered by houses and even roads, but in the wilderness, they can at most use the darkness to escape from the city.
In the field, they can't run the tanks at all, the only thing they can look forward to is to hide in a dark corner, where to hide, not moving, waiting for these tanks to pass, of course, if these tanks are here to hunt them down, I'm afraid they really can't run, more than one person silently shouts God in their hearts, expecting God to help them get through the difficulties.
Fortunately, this part of the first survivors to escape from the city, they are all smart, at this moment, he can't move, and the others can't move, otherwise a person can't bear the pressure, run out, expose in front of the tank, then all exposed, one counts as one, as long as the people hiding in this area, none of them can escape.
Fortunately, the place where they hid was in the woods, even if it was not a very large wood, not a single tank entered, these tanks, not to search for them, obviously to hurry, they were extremely fast from north to south, did not stay in this place for long, and soon, at least a thousand tanks, passed through such an area, leaving behind the frightened survivors.
"God, are you going to abandon America!" A survivor who had just escaped from life and death, in such a torrent of armor, when there was no trace, he said with such emotion, he said what everyone was thinking, this is in the hinterland of the United States, at least more than 1,000 kilometers away from the border of the United States, there are huge Rocky Mountains in the west, and it is even farther away from Alaska, which is controlled by Japan. The small town that has been peaceful for a long time, when it is attacked by the armed army, looks so helpless, as if these attacks cannot be resisted, is the strength of the United States at the end? Could it be that only God can save America?
Not to mention the huge fleet of armored vehicles, what a shock it caused to the survivors of Ogden, and even thanks to these survivors, their personal experience, the terrible and incompetent of Japan, spread to more cities in the United States, and laid a foundation for the future trend of the United States, although this step is a very small step, but extremely critical, they belong to the propaganda of the Americans themselves, compared to the propaganda of foreigners, the credibility is much higher, and even because of the severance of the railway, this part of the thinking and propaganda, It was not discovered by the U.S. government for the first time, and under the impetus of people with intentions, it became more and more intense.
Just now, the tanks that passed from this plain, it was in the back, the part of the armored forces that took the wrong step, from Alaska to the hinterland of the United States, a total of 11 days, in 11 days, a total of 11 airdrops, not only China's airdrops are becoming more and more proficient, the new army is also more and more familiar with receiving airdrops, as long as you find a suitable position, in a large area circled, set up a radiolocator, plus some flames, layout and the like, you can make the airdrop smooth, even to a certain extent, The huge plain is also suitable for airdropping, it does not have to be like the airdrop field opened up in the forest, accurate projection, as long as it is fixed in a fairly large area, even the airdrop does not need to maintain a certain speed, as long as the plane is at a certain speed, it can be projected continuously, and the probability of hitting it is almost equal to zero.
In this way, not only the efficiency of the airdrop is higher, but the efficiency of collecting materials is also high, the first airdrop in the forest, from the beginning to the end of the airdrop, it took more than 3 hours, but this time, from the beginning to the end, it only took 2 hours, and even the plane only took 30 minutes, all the materials were projected, and the remaining hour and a half, more was to collect materials and supplies, and it took 2 hours to complete the supply, and they began to continue south, the news from Ogden's side, The previous troops were sufficient, and they had to continue to explore and move towards the newer city.
From Ogden to Salt Lake City, the distance is 53 kilometers, at such a distance, under the full force, that is, 2 hours, along the railway, in the Great Plains area, basically there will be no obstacles, there are one or two small rivers, simply can not block the breakthrough of the armor, at this moment, about 1 o'clock in the morning, is expected to arrive in Salt Lake City at about 3 o'clock.
However, this time, it may be a strong attack, it is absolutely impossible to surround the entire city as easily as Ogden, and attack at will, Ogden's movements will definitely attract the attention of Salt Lake City, and Salt Lake City may already be on guard.
In fact, in 2 hours, the fire on Ogden's side has been burning, in the dark night, the fire is always easy to spread, the raging fire, has long alarmed the Salt Lake City side, Salt Lake City is the state capital after all, is one of the most important cities in Utah, they can't not keep a single duty officer, after the army duty officer found out about the problem on Ogden's side, immediately notified the person in charge of Salt Lake City.
Salt Lake City had known for a long time, although I don't know why, such a fire would be lit on Ogden's side, but the necessary preparations were still there, and soon, the first one to inquire about the telegram room said that Ogden's telegram was sent to the central government, and they were not on duty, so they did not intercept the telegram, they used the telegram to ask Ogden's side, but unfortunately there was no response.
The Japanese side did not cut off the telegraph line at the first time, but the telegraph room is one of the most important areas of a city, through the carpet reconnaissance of the aircraft, the telegraph room is different from the ordinary house, in the first time, the siege force destroyed the telegraph room, at least an hour and a half later, of course, Ogden did not respond.
If the fire may have been an accident, and there was no movement even in the telegraph room, then something must have happened, not an ordinary thing, something serious, just in case, the governor's urgent money counted the order, and even the army was ready to take precautions.
I have to say that the governor of Utah, his choice was right, and the reaction was very fast, but unfortunately it was useless, Utah is not a big state, nor is it a military powerhouse, his army is just a regiment of the National Guard, you know, before the United States entered the war, the regular army of the entire United States was only about 150,000 people, only a few divisions, and then gradually expanded, most of them were sent to Europe, and a small part was sent to Alaska, although in the United States, there are still newly built troops, and reserve forces, Those are mostly concentrated on the east and west coasts, located in the center, a dozen or so vast states, the total number of the National Guard is only more than 70,000 people, most of them are still distributed in the Great Lakes and the southern region near Mexico, Utah is the hinterland, and in the center, there is a regiment of the National Guard, which is good to deal with bandits and gangsters.
This regiment, which has only about 900 people, has all the guns and seven or eight machine guns, but there are only 3 artillery pieces, not 75 mm field guns, but 37 anti-aircraft guns.
This is the standard configuration of the US military, although the emergence of mortars has greatly changed the firepower of the army below the battalion level, mortars above 100 mm at the battalion level, 80-60 at the company level, and even mortars below 50 mm at the platoon level when conditions permit, so that the basic troops, in addition to ordinary light weapons, also have sufficient attack capabilities.
The U.S. military is also equipped with such troops, but only those sent to Europe, and even those that go to Alaska are partial, and the National Guard who stayed at home still maintains the equipment style of the U.S. military in the past, and even the penetration rate of machine guns is far inferior, such an army is enough to deal with horse bandits and small troops, but in the face of more than 1,000 tank forces, of course, it can't be done, and even the defensive positions they arranged, even a round of armored charges, can't withstand it.
The higher and higher flames are still uncontactable, which makes the governor of Utah very worried, but no matter what, he would not have thought that it would be the Japanese armored forces that entered the hinterland of the United States and wreaked havoc, at most it may be horse bandits, although with the development of the times, there may be bandits in the west, or small groups of bandits, who may be able to loot some small villages, but the looting to the cities is very small, because the balance of power is too great.
Although Ogden is not an important big city, there are at least a few hundred policemen, one or two hundred road guards, these are all guns that can be carried, not to mention, the United States does not ban guns, ordinary civilians also have guns, horse bandits may dare to storm the village of hundreds of people, rush into the city of tens of thousands of people, dare to dare, but you must fast in and out, run away immediately after the fight, really stay here, isn't it looking for death?
At this moment, it seems to form a dead knot, no matter how the governor thinks, he will not think that Japan has sneaked in, not only wreaking havoc on Ogden, the next target is Salt Lake City, and even the next step, it may be to wreak havoc on other American cities, Salt Lake City and Ogden are just today's goals, after today, they will continue to move along the Pacific Railroad. Under the premise that one knows and the other is still at a loss, a team of armored forces similar to Ogden is approaching Salt Lake City at high speed, and the crisis has begun to gradually appear.
