Shi Shiran left after the unscrupulous shelling, it was like MT mocking, which naturally attracted the monstrous anger of countless Americans, and Theodore Roosevelt also felt that with such a burden as an 8-inch heavy gun, it would inevitably be inconvenient to move, and it would definitely require more baggage troops, so their field troops would not be too many, and they could be surrounded and annihilated by mobile warfare, so they immediately dispatched troops.

But this is what the Heavenly Punishment Column is waiting for, compared to the enemy who holds the city and the defensive line, the enemy who lacks the shelter and protection of buildings or fortifications in the movement is much easier to destroy, and the good infrastructure of the United States allows the strong pull of the mule to be fully utilized, even if it is a heavy howitzer of 210mm caliber, it can advance thirty or forty kilometers a day, which is not slower than the average light infantry division, but it is just impossible to march in a hurry, and as a result, President Roosevelt, who was waiting for good news in the White House, was quickly hit in the face......

In the first encounter, there was a fully equipped American infantry division was completely annihilated, and two were completely defeated, and what was worse was that Chicago made a great effort in this attack, and the city was a lot empty, and after the prisoners of war were interrogated and learned this important information, the Heavenly Punishment Column immediately returned to attack Chicago, and it only took a few days to eliminate most of the defenders in the city and the two groups of reinforcements who were in a hurry, and after capturing and burning the industrial area and the railway station, the Heavenly Punishment Column simply played the encirclement point to send reinforcements, Deliberately left the residential area and did not take it, but the field troops concentrated to deal with the American troops who came to help, and annihilated three more divisions of the enemy......

The senior officials of the US War Department were almost crying, in just over a week, more than 150,000 US troops were killed, missing, and captured, and the enemy still seemed to have strong combat effectiveness, and the casualties were obviously not big enough to hurt the muscles and bones, this Nima is a division?

After finally realizing the true strength of the Heavenly Punishment Column, the U.S. War Department did not agree to send division-level troops to the rescue, which was simply to send them to death, "The strength of this division is definitely not inferior to an army, yes, an army, but it is still an ace army composed of the elite infantry divisions in the northwest battlefield!" ”

And one of the American soldiers who survived the rout told President Roosevelt in an almost hysterical tone about the horror of the enemy, "They are simply devils!" It's the devil! Not every bullet or shell of them misses! This is not something that humans can do, only the devil! Only the devil! ”

The rout was traumatized after the defeat, and his words were exaggerated, but Theodore Roosevelt confirmed from a detail of the enemy that the rout was true: "This Chinese army is not equipped with submachine guns? It seems that they really have the confidence that they can destroy an enemy with every shot! ”

It is not uncommon for sharpshooters to have this kind of marksmanship and psychological quality, and many of the volunteers formed by Roosevelt during the Spanish-American War have such a level, but it is a little appalling that a huge force with as many as 30,000 or 40,000 people actually has such a level of infantry, "Could it be that this special force is composed of elite veterans specially selected by the Chinese government from the country?" It seems that this can only be explained in this way......"

And after learning some other information, President Roosevelt further affirmed his conclusion, it is said that the Chinese troops discarded a lot of seriously wounded people who were completely incapacitated on the way and would certainly not be able to recover in a short time, in the spirit of humanitarianism, well, in fact, they wanted to obtain military intelligence from them, and found that their American troops tried to rescue them, but they did not expect that they were actually strapped with explosives, and before they died, if an American approached them, these people would blow themselves up, and as a result, they caused a lot of casualties. This will to fight moved even Theodore Roosevelt, who had experienced brutal warfare, "These must have been warriors who had returned from the line of death, otherwise it would not be unusual for one or two to do this, but it is impossible for each of them to have such courage." ”

What particularly amazed Theodore Roosevelt was that after the army abandoned him, these people were able to die without hesitation, which is the perfect soldier! In a stirred mood, Theodore Roosevelt said in advance the famous words of President Kennedy in history, "These Chinese soldiers are real warriors, and we should call on all American soldiers to learn from them, and not ask what the United States has done for them, but what they have done for the United States." The Chinese are aggressors, their soldiers can be so brave and sacrificed, our soldiers of the United States are fighting to defend the country, if they are not brave, then they are not worthy of wearing military uniforms! ”

President Roosevelt was greatly shocked by the wounded Chinese soldiers, who were at home in the face of death, and allowed him to roughly estimate the total number of casualties of the Heavenly Punishment Column by summarizing the number of seriously wounded. Theodore Roosevelt then discovered that even if he tried to count as many miles as he could, the enemy's casualties would not exceed 10,000, and considering the terrifying results of more than 300,000 American casualties they had inflicted so far (not counting the militia guerrillas), such an exchange ratio was enough to show how strong this Chinese special force was......

"At least one army of troops, steady and steady advance, the divisions can not be far away from each other, so as not to be easily eliminated by the enemy, if you want to annihilate it, you must need at least 400,000 troops, this is only the troops directly involved in the encirclement, counting the troops that control their free movement and form a warning network, I am afraid that this number will have to be doubled, considering that the enemy has not tasted defeat so far, perhaps our current research and judgment of the enemy's strength is still a little underestimated, I think, maybe it is safe......r to have an army of one million", after coming to this conclusionTheodore Roosevelt himself was taken aback, and then fell into deep distress, where could he spare so many mobile troops in the current predicament?

In fact, the total number of US Army troops is now quite staggering, and judging from the numbers alone, it is not difficult to squeeze out so many troops, and more than half of them are already located in the east, so it is not troublesome to move. However, the problem is that most of these armies are newly formed troops, and except for a few veterans who are the backbone, the others are all recruits who have not been in the army for a long time, and although the tradition of holding guns and the generally high level of education in the United States have greatly accelerated the training speed of infantry, it will take more than half a year to be sent to the battlefield no matter how fast it is.
