"Is there any more smoke?" Wang Cheng, a second lieutenant of the 34th Armored Division of the Ming Army, threw away the empty cigarette case in his hand and turned his head to look at his driver. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"I was already out of smoke when I set off." The driver, who was covered in the smell of engine oil, spread his hands and had a helpless expression on his face.

Although the Ming army has a world-class logistics supply system, the supply of various materials is absolutely nothing to say. Cigarettes, which are designated as second only to ammunition, medicines and food, have always been distributed on a large scale. It's just that on the battlefield so far away from home at this moment, it is normal for the front-line officers and soldiers to smoke out their cigarettes for a while and not get supplies in time.

Units of the 34th Armored Division departed from downtown Los Angeles for the Lake Forest area near Irvine, where they are now making final inspection preparations before entering the battlefield. Several maintenance crews were repairing Wang Cheng's Leopard tank, which had been swept away from almost all of its exterior equipment during the previous battle. As for those craters, there is no way to do it for the time being.

"Let's go get some cigarettes." Wang Cheng, who felt that he was addicted to cigarettes, looked at the houses with closed doors and windows next to the highway, turned to his driver and winked and said.

"Isn't it okay?" The driver looked at the many busy comrades and dense vehicles around him, and said in a low voice, "Don't do stupid things." The gendarmes would have disembarked long ago. ”

"Just go get a few packs of cigarettes." Wang Cheng waved his hand impatiently, "And it won't start in two hours here." The infantrymen don't know where they are yet. ”

At this moment, most of the people in the team who stayed on the side of the road were recuperating and preparing for battle. Although some of the busy officers and soldiers saw the two armored soldiers walking towards a small two-story building with a garden not far from the roadside, they did not pay much attention to it. Although they have encountered armed resistance from ordinary local people, most of the locals are still honest and obedient, and there are Ming troops everywhere, so the possibility of resistance is very small.

"Knock knock." Wang Cheng, who held a pistol in one hand and kept slamming the door in the other, shouted, "Is there anyone?" Hurry up and open the door! I'm going to rush in before I open the door! ”

The wooden door was slammed, and the glass on it shook. Half a minute passed, and Wang Cheng didn't know when the gendarmes would go back and forth. Just as he was impatiently about to bang open the door and rush in, the door was finally opened.

A blonde girl with white skin and a beautiful body shape. Tremblingly, he opened the door, and looked at Wang Cheng and another Ming officer and soldier with engine oil in his eyes.

"Little girl, do you have any adults at home?" Wang Cheng tried to soften his expression. However, the oil stained from the previous maintenance of the tank, his tall and burly body, especially the pistol in his hand, had already scared the girl, who was probably still in middle school. His lips trembled, and he couldn't speak.

Wang Cheng is also a good person, he instantly saw that there were no adults at home, and with a raised brow, he pushed them away and walked in.

"Ah!!h The girl, who was already frightened, saw Wang Cheng break in, and immediately let out a scream, turned around and wanted to run upstairs.

"Hehe, don't scare the little girl." Liu An'an, the driver of Wang Cheng's car group, grinned, walked into the room and began to rummage through it. As long as this kind of thing is not caught by the gendarmes, basically no one will say anything. As an occupying force, this kind of thing is really normal.

"I'll go up and have a look." Wang Cheng took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer, lit them, walked around the living room a few times, and after looking at the troops outside, he suddenly walked like walking from above.

"Don't mess around." Liu An'an frowned, looked at Wang Cheng and said, "Don't take the gendarmes as a meeting." ”

"I know." Wang Cheng smiled and said, "I sent money to the master's family." ”

I don't know what Wang Cheng said or how he did it, but the little girl who was only a teenager actually followed him. Although his expression is still a little cringe, it is much better than before.

Wang Cheng took out a wad of banknotes from his arms and handed it to the little girl, and said with a smile, "We are requisitioning military supplies, and we will not take you for nothing, these are rewards." ”

Liu An'an was also relieved to see that Wang Cheng did not do anything that violated military discipline. As a comrade-in-arms, it is difficult for him to betray his own people, but once he is caught by the patrolling gendarmes, he will not show any mercy in the face of military discipline. If the army is not bound by military discipline, then the army is finished. The Ming army is very strict in maintaining military discipline.

Liu An'an began to search the house for everything he thought would be useful and ready to take it away, while Wang Cheng pulled the little girl to sit on the sofa and chat. Perhaps it was Wang Cheng's very kind behavior that made the little girl relax her vigilance, and the little girl quickly told all her things.

The blonde girl, Annie, whose parents both worked at a ship repair shop in Newport Beach, was short of labor due to the massive conscription of the U.S. military and the large number of strong workers working in the factories. In this case, many of the former full-time housewives went to the factory to do some auxiliary work.

Anne's parents never came home after going to work yesterday, and I don't know if they were blocked by the war or unfortunately affected by the war. The roar of artillery frightened the little girl, and she never dared to leave her home until the Ming army began to approach her.

Liu An'an left the house with a large box of food, sweets, and beer, and returned to his crew, which immediately caused a burst of cheers among the nearby officers and soldiers.

For this landing operation, the Ming army did not reduce the rationing of any logistical materials, and provided materials in accordance with the highest standard of wartime supplies. It's just that because of the order of landing, all those liquors and various drinks are still on the ship at this time, just like cigarettes.

When Liu An'an returned to the two-story building again, he was surprised to find that Wang Cheng was hugging the blonde girl's waist and whispering and laughing towards the second floor.

"This bastard." Seeing the figures of Wang Cheng and the girl disappear at the corner of the stairs, Liu An'an shook his head helplessly.

After scraping a batch of more valuable things in the house again, Liu An'an glanced at the second floor and turned around and left the small building.

After more than an hour, the overhaul of each train group was completed. The long convoy also sounded the sound of the military horn to assemble and prepare for departure. Wang Cheng hurriedly tied his belt and ran back, got into his car, "Let's go!" ”

In the chaotic years of war, these things were a natural law of convention. The winner has everything.

------

The hastily launched counterattack by the American forces during daylight on 28 October failed unsurprisingly. They think things are too simplistic. Two ordinary mechanized infantry divisions attacking the Ming troops alone without the support of absolute air power and the cover of powerful armored forces will naturally lead to inevitable defeat.

Nearly 35,000 officers and men of the 151st and 241st Mechanized Infantry Divisions of the US Army were attacked by the Ming armored forces in the Forest Lake area. Although each of them had a tank battalion as an armored force, in the face of the Ming army's superior Haw Par tanks and numerical superiority, these infantry support tanks of the US army did not play an effective role at all.

Despite its name, Lake Forest is actually just a large pond. On the east side of Lake Forest is the towering San Diego Peak, and on the west side is Laguna Beach. The entire area is flat and wide, which is exceptionally suitable for armored forces to fight.

After being fully armoured and ready, the 34th Panzer Division broke through the American defenses in a very short time, quickly detouring from its west flank to the San Juan area behind it, with Tiger tanks taking the lead, Leopard tank flank cover, and infantry armored vehicles and half-track transporters following up.

The terrain around Lake Forest is actually a huge valley, a typical terrain between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. After breaking through the defense of the American army, the armored forces of the Ming army rushed directly to its rear to cut off the retreat, and then a large number of mechanized infantry followed and seized the position, compressed the space of the American army, and gradually surrounded it.

In the face of Daming's extremely skillful tactics, which had already been played, the two infantry divisions of the US army were caught off guard and were beaten.

The 151st Mechanized Infantry Division was better, and their commander was a colonel of the American Expeditionary Force, who had previously fought fiercely with the Ming army in North Africa. Because of his experience with the elite units of the Ming army in North Africa, this commander had a better understanding of the Ming army's combat intentions. After his position was broken through, he immediately left his tail broken, and then retreated with his troops. Although it was constantly intercepted and eaten many troops on the way to retreat, it was much stronger than the unlucky 241st Mechanized Infantry Division.

In fact, the 241st Infantry Division was a unit spun off from the then California National Guard at the time of the massive expansion of the United States after the beginning of the war. Although they are not bad in terms of equipment, the real combat ability of these reserve troops who have not experienced the test of war is far from being comparable to the battle-hardened Ming army.

The movement of the 241st Mechanized Infantry Division of the U.S. Army was only slightly slower, and they were surrounded by the Ming army to seize the opportunity to surround most of the troops and some of the officers and soldiers of the 151st Mechanized Infantry Division who did not have time to escape. Because this area is a real flat and open battlefield, with no obstacles. The U.S. military just wants to use the terrain to resist, which has become a luxury.

The artillery and infantry of the armored forces of the Ming army went into battle together, giving the American troops any chance to breathe and build positions. After a few hours, the resistance of the American army was crushed, and the American forces in the encirclement were basically wiped out.

Only a small number of U.S. troops escaped from San Diego Peak on the east side of Forest Lake under the cover of night. (To be continued.) )
