Chapter 1814: Sent to Death

Here in Salt Lake City, they saw Ogden in the distance, the flames were soaring, and there were flames almost everywhere, but they didn't feel the danger at all, and the danger was coming. Unable to reach Ogden www.biquge.info the telegram, they could only see that the fire had not been extinguished, but had intensified.

In the 21st century, most of the villages and towns in the United States, wood is a relatively common material, except for some large-scale modern cities, many small cities in the Midwest, are a kind of primitive scenery, brick and stone structures are quite few, in the developed 21st century, in the early 20th century, it is even more so.

Wood is the most flammable material, Japan carries machine gun bullets, there are no incendiary bombs, incendiary bombs are a kind of big killer, even if it is a machine gun bullet below 10 mm, if you use white phosphorus bullets, it will be quite terrible, plus white phosphorus bombs are not easy to preserve, easy to be dangerous, with the method of air dropping, if there is a problem, it is very troublesome, so in the supply list, there is no this, at most they are provided with a Molotov cocktail production, with the supply of the remaining bottled water bottles, Fill it with gasoline and other metal powders, and you can make it.

It's just that it is used when it is specially set on fire, in dangerous places, the crew of the tank is strictly required and is not allowed to get out of the car, so the Molotov cocktail cannot be used, fortunately, the tank machine gun also has a bullet called a high-explosive bomb, all of which use high-explosive explosives, once the wood-based house is ignited by a large amount of gunpowder, then the whole house is fuel, more and more flames, more than 3000 houses are almost burned together, enough to light up the entire night sky.

The flames are getting higher and higher, and there are more and more high-level people gathered next to the governor, Ogden cannot be compared with Salt Lake City, it is also a regular city with a population of 10,000, the United States, as only more than 50 kilometers away from the state capital, it is still one of the cities directly managed, and it is also a station along the railway, Ogden is obviously attacked, and it is extremely damaged, the governor has the responsibility to solve the problem, this is his unshirkable responsibility, if he doesn't even make a little action, let Ogden burn into a white ground, it will also affect his reputation, As a result, he lost the next election.

From his sleep, after being woken up urgently, Henry's brain was spinning rapidly, as the governor of a state, he was the supreme leader of Utah, especially in a state of emergency, and even had the privilege of mobilizing everything in the state, and completed a simple communication with Mark, the commander of the National Guard, and Mark was willing to obey his orders, which meant that he became the supreme head of the military and government.

is less than 45 years old, he has achieved the position of the governor of a state, even if it is just a small western state, Utah has never been the most important state in the United States, not to mention the eastern New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, even compared with California, Washington State and other western powers, he is also weak to the extent that it is not feasible, but the governor is the governor, in the American political sequence, he definitely belongs to the upper level of the pyramid, and even to a certain extent, the governor has more power than some ministers in the cabinet.

Born in a big family, graduated from the prestigious school Haval, worked as a lawyer in Washington for at least 7 years before participating in the election, starting from a state legislator, a congressman, a senator, and then running for governor, in order to become a governor, he even gave up his foundation in California and chose a weaker Utah, Henry's political sense is very keen, and he knows what he is doing at this moment, which is the right choice.

After Mark obeyed the order, he immediately ordered a regiment of National Guards guarding Salt Lake City to be on full alert to prevent this group of bandits who had endangered Ogden, and to attack Salt Lake City and ensure the safety of Salt Lake City in addition to attacking Ogden.

If you can attack Ogden, you will be able to attack Salt Lake City, although the population of Salt Lake City is several times higher than that of Ogden, and there are garrisons, but who knows if these bandits are crazy or not, in case this part of the bandits is crazy and wants to go to Salt Lake City to bargain, he just ignores it, once the account is settled afterwards, the board will almost definitely hit him, Henry must first ensure the safety of Salt Lake City, ensure that there is nothing wrong here, and then he can consider otherwise.

Of course, Ogden's rescue is also necessary, after ensuring the safety of Salt Lake City, Ogden must be rescued, the fire was simply ignited from the beginning, until now, it has lasted for two or three hours, depending on the situation, the entire Ogden has been attacked, I don't know why, these bandits have such a strong force, but for the sake of insurance, he still needs to send troops to the rescue, and there are fewer people.

The military strength of the entire Salt Lake City is not much, but to rescue the city, it is not possible to do less, if there are more than a hundred guns, Ogden himself has it, and he can kill Ogden here, these people will be given in vain, maybe they will be lost in vain, but if there are too many words, it will affect the defense of Salt Lake City itself, in case there is a problem in Salt Lake City after Ogden, even if it is just a little problem, it is enough to make the governor step down, besides, in terms of security, he can't send it all,

More no, no less, he touched Mark, and temporarily decided to go to the rescue, it was a battalion of regular troops and about 400 militiamen, a total of more than 700 people, the battalion of the National Guard, it is definitely not as good as the regular army, a battalion of the regular army is basically more than 700 people, and a regiment is more than 2000 more than 3000, but the regiment of the National Guard stationed in Salt Lake City is only 900 people, and the battalion is about 250 people at most, one-third of the regular army is drawn, and there are 400 more elite militiamen, This is already the maximum force that Henry can send.

In the chaotic Salt Lake City, at half past 12 o'clock, the troops were formed, fortunately, the troops were few, and they did not carry any weapons, only a part of the light weapons, and only brought 2 machine guns, so that the preparation could be reduced to a minimum, and even the bullets, on average, each person brought about 60 rounds, which barely supported a high-intensity battle.

It can be said unceremoniously that the Utah governor's mind is still stuck on the basis of possible small bandits, this is human nature, anyone without the support of intelligence, seeing such a situation, will think that this is the case, this is also the most reasonable answer, they can't think that the Japanese can get in, Salt Lake City is more than 1,000 kilometers away from the Canadian border, and far away from Alaska, it is even more than four or five thousand kilometers.

For ordinary civilians, four or five thousand kilometers, that is almost insurmountable, most people's range of activities, will not exceed 150 kilometers, more than 300 kilometers are a small number of cases, four or five thousand kilometers, giving people the feeling that the end of the world and the cape of the general distance is the largest defense, between the two countries, among the two armies, separated by enough distance, this is absolutely safe, only the tank age has solved this problem, but even if the tank age comes, 5000 kilometers is still a very safe distance, That is to say, under the premise that China has mastered the entire sky, it has created such a terrible war result, of course, there is only such a chance, after such a strike, the United States can put an end to this kind of behavior as long as it takes a little precautions.

What Henry didn't know was that even if they left everyone behind, and even if they started digging trenches on a large scale and building a relatively strong defense, they would not be able to resist the attack at all, because they were armored forces, and they were born to restrain positional warfare and defensive lines.

The matter is urgent, from top to bottom, the efficiency is also very high, to put it bluntly, just carrying personal weapons, if it is not for the concentration of the militia to take time, maybe an hour's time, it will be organized, Salt Lake City is a railway hub city, Ogden is also, in the dark night, the fastest means of transportation to Ogden is the train, although Ogden was burned, but not necessarily attacked, maybe it was an accident, the fire can burn the city, the house, you can't even kill the railroad, If it's a big deal to be outside the city, stop and let the troops go on foot.

50 kilometers may take several hours for a rapid march, but if you take a train, it will take up to 40 minutes, and the armed force of 700 people, plus some ammunition, is loaded with 6 trains, plus the locomotive, the length of 7 cars, it seems short and capable, and in the expectation of many high-ranking officials in Salt Lake City, the train left Salt Lake City Station and headed north.

Looking at the train getting farther and farther away, I don't know why, a burst of irritability rose in Henry's heart, and he touched Mark, asking them to complete the work of guarding as much as possible, and arrange some defensive positions, barricades and machine gun positions at some of the main entrances of Salt Lake City, which must also be arranged, which suppressed the irritability in his heart.

Holding steel guns, the American soldiers with excited faces would not have thought at all that what kind of price they would encounter, facing them was not what they thought, hundreds of bandits, but more than 5,000 tanks, even regular infantry exceeded 10,000 regular troops, not to mention the armored force such as tanks, even if it was a number, it was also crushed.

At this point, these soldiers who are full of longing do not know that from the moment they set off, they have become a force to be destroyed, although the train is very powerful, it is a civilian facility, facing tanks armed to the teeth, and even with strong mobility ability, not only can not give them any protection, but become their imprisonment, as long as the opponent has a way to slow down the train and stop, their best result is to surrender, otherwise, the total annihilation is not just talk.
