Not to mention the scorched in Sacramento, at this time on the gunboats, the United States river defense forces are moving forward in high spirits, the United States Navy, appeared very early, but after the Revolutionary War, the United States Navy is only quite weak, the real promotion of the development of the United States Navy, but it is a war, the Civil War, before the focus on the development of land, the United States from the time of independence 13 states gradually expanded, expanded to more than 40 states, across the entire American continent, so that the United States from a country that only has a separate access to the Atlantic Ocean, becoming a huge country spanning the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

It is precisely because of the large enough land area and the difference in cognition that caused the Civil War, at that time in the heart of the southern part of the United States, it was not considered orthodox in the north, starting from Washington, most of the presidents of the United States were held by southerners, the reason is very simple, the president of the United States at that time was just a position similar to the secretary general of the United Nations in later generations, and the states had much more independent autonomy than later generations, which could be called a country within a country, and the central government did not even have the right to collect taxes, and the U.S. government did not even have enough office funds. That is, the southerners are rich and can support it, so most of the presidents are southerners.

However, after the real start of the war, it was found that the strong industrial strength of the north became the key to determining the situation of the war, and in order to avoid the continuation of the war, a large amount of cotton and other products planted on the plantations in the south were sold in huge amounts of money and materials, and the south only had money but no materials, but through the Atlantic waterway, whether it was Britain and France, or Germany, countless arms could be transported.

At that time, the United States was inconspicuous in the world, not to mention the world's first power, and countries like France and Germany, if they really wanted to intervene, the United States would be quite troublesome.

Fortunately, at that time, Europe was also in turmoil, including Britain, although it also recognized that this was a good opportunity to weaken the United States, and also made efforts, but it was taken into account by the United States in the north and made comprehensive preparations. In order to blockade the south, in a short period of time, it actually built five or six hundred cruisers in one go, and almost used all its strength to promote the development of the US Navy, and thus laid the overall situation, even if the south had an advantage in the early stage, famous generals came out in large numbers, and constantly created one victory after another, but in the end, there was not enough population, not enough industry, and it was still blocked at sea, they could win, but they could not lose, Even after large-scale defeats in the North, it can always regroup, but once the elite troops of the South are lost, it is the end, and the South is finally defeated, and the United States finally appears in front of the world as a unified country and has become one of the strong foundations.

Even if it was just a river defense battleship, all the crew had received strict military training, and the gunboats they operated were quite familiar, from Sacramento to the position of the bridge, that is, 15 kilometers, and even from the top of the river, it was not so far, and it only took about ten minutes to reach the position of the bridge.

This gunboat is really not good, they are well-trained, about three or four kilometers away from the broken bridge, they began to wash the ground with naval guns, and the choice is not the shore is more dangerous, it is possible to hide the enemy's location, the largest 8-inch gun on the gunboat, on the battleship, can only be the existence of the secondary gun, even on the battleship, far from qualified, but converted into ordinary units, it is a 203 mm gun, this time it has become the army, the most massive artillery, even if it is a 6-inch gun, Also 152 mm guns.

Not to mention the performance of naval artillery in all aspects, it is much stronger than ordinary army artillery, army artillery because of the weight, must first consider the weight problem, must be light enough, it is convenient to move, naval artillery may be the same, but that is for the main gun of battleships above 15 inches, it is mature enough to be 10 inches below the artillery, how powerful it can be, even 15 inches such a shocking cannon can be manufactured, six inches to eight inches of small guns, it is no problem.

When the tank was still dangling above dozens of tons, a gunboat, at least one or two hundred tons, this is still river defense, coastal defense can even reach more than 600 tons, enough weight to withstand the reaction force of the artillery, a huge roar sounded on the gunboat, and then fell to the land, 203 mm large-caliber naval guns, still high power, suddenly hit the ground and shook the mountains, so that this side was a mess and smoke.

The efficiency of the U.S. military is not low, and it has played the maximum frequency of attack of the naval artillery, which is enough to prove their professionalism, but unfortunately it is useless, within 10 kilometers, just a few of them Zhou Xing, others have already left, at least they have left the maximum range of the naval artillery, even if it is Zhou Xing, they did not leave directly, as a senior officer, as a very good member of the special forces, they know very well how to dodge the artillery, itself is 3 kilometers away from the river, go to the other side of the mountain, leave from the back of the mountain, The 200-meter-high mountain is nothing, but it is enough to block the shooting range of the gunboats on the water, so that even if they find Zhou Xing and them, they will not be able to reach this side, which will not hit them, let alone not found them.

In fact, the total number of 4 gunboats, the total number of artillery is only 18, even if they are all 6-inch, or even 8-inch guns, what, how much area can they cover, from the side of the bridge, within 2 kilometers, sparse attacks, is already beyond his limit, the target of their attack is more likely to affect the place of crossing the river or landing, to prevent the sneak attack of someone inside, the direction they are in, on both sides of the river 4 kilometers, extending 5 kilometers, is close to 40 square kilometers of huge area, This is not something that can be covered by just 18 guns, even if it is a giant cannon, 100 times, or even 1000 times more.

For example, on the European battlefield, the Bordeaux front, on average, on the front line per kilometer, there are at least 600 guns, which is still one side, to cover such a huge area, take an 8-kilometer front, as little as 5,000 guns, as many as 10,000 guns, so that it can be guarded airtightly.

In the end, a cannonball landed on this hill, because this hill is the most conspicuous place here, but it was quite far away from Zhou Xing's location, and they just walked roughly, and did not go any deeper, let alone extend the artillery fire.

Even if this kind of artillery bombardment, it is not unlimited, artillery is durable, especially naval guns, for the extremely harsh naval guns, a little wear and tear will make the naval guns lose their accuracy, which is not allowed by the navy, so naval guns are more expensive than army guns, and even naval guns are replaced as coastal defense guns.

The river defense fleet is not so expensive, but it is about the same, after bombarding for more than half an hour, the gunboats stopped attacking, there is no attacker, can attack indefinitely, or there are no traces of anti-aircraft guns, in the targeted attack just now, it has been determined that along the coast, at least 1.5 kilometers of the area, there will not be any army ambush, so it is enough, they are battleships, they can follow the river, enter any area, but can not go ashore, it is the infantry.

Next, 2 companies of U.S. troops landed, and they also saw that in addition to 4 bridges, some other key destruction areas, there was no more luck in their hearts, compared to the bridge, it was impossible to put more explosives, and there was no need to put up so much, and several other targets, on average, each one, were placed with nearly a ton of explosives, on land, not as eye-catching as the bridge, and it was also very scary, several key nodes, and even the hub of the railway, were blown up, Even if the United States has the ability to build temporary railroad bridges, it must repair them.

And on land, I also saw a lot of clues, the strength of the special forces is relative to ordinary people, they are not superhuman, it is impossible to fly away, about 12 tons of materials, many of them need to be carried over, even if the special forces are very strong, everyone can carry about 100 kilograms of things, but on the slightly damp ground, more than 150 kilograms of weight, enough to leave a lot of footprints.

It's not here to commit a crime, this is a war, before the outbreak of war, you need to sneak in secretly and not attract anyone's attention, but when it's already in place and the bomb is planted, you don't have to be so troublesome, as long as you put the explosives on the target in the fastest time, as long as you complete this, the rest doesn't matter.

Because there are a lot of traces left, this part of the US military judged the approximate number, more than 200 people, but the rest of the clues are not clues, let alone the traces of people, the special forces do everything very carefully, in addition to the explosion wreckage left at the scene, there are also traces of the scene, after traveling lightly, there are even very few footprints or something, at least, for the US military, it is so, the US military did not search for anything valuable, and the 2 companies that landed are still a little unwilling and want to continue the searchIt's a pity that no matter how much they search, they can't get more things.

From about 9 o'clock in the search until 12 o'clock in the morning, when the commander of Sacramento could no longer bear it, sent someone to inquire, only then did he know this result, after another few hours of searching, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, the American soldiers who came out for most of the day could only return to Sacramento in despair, they had no way to continue, this matter was no longer something they could handle at their level, they had to wait for the new stage of the Washington government order before they could carry out the next stage of the operation.
