It is difficult to imagine that the US military did not put up too fierce resistance in Washington. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 It didn't take much effort for the troops of the 1st and 2nd Panzer Clusters of the Ming Army to crush the defenders on the outskirts of Washington, and then they stormed the city of great significance.

The defenders of the city were few and did not put up too much resistance. The Ming army was very successful in taking the city into their pockets. However, the high-ranking officials and dignitaries here have basically fled early, and most of the rest are those who have already had secret dealings with Daming or want to surrender.

Whether it's the Memorial Hall, or Capitol Hill, or the Presidential Palace. and all the important institutions and the government-in-exile of various countries have not experienced much of the war here. This is mainly due to the fact that the US military is not strong enough to hold on here. And there is nothing in the terrain here that can be effectively resisted.

After the Ming army occupied this place, the major newspapers and radio stations in the rear carried out a series of reports, and grand celebrations were held in various places to celebrate the Ming Dynasty's capture of the last enemy capital. The morale of the Ming troops on the front line was greatly boosted, while the morale of the American army was even more demoralized.

After taking full control of Washington, the Ming army front command held a military parade here. In front of many indifferent locals, a large number of Ming officers and soldiers and various weapons and equipment circled back and forth in the city, showing their military might as much as possible.

After the Ming army seized Washington, it did not stop its own advance. The rest of Army Group Atlantic, which had been followed by the 1st and 2nd Panzer Groups, soon swept across Delaware and New Jersey, literally advancing the forward line to the shores of the Atlantic.

When the troops of the 51st Armored Division under the 1st Armored Group of the Ming Army set out from Philadelphia and rushed into Atlantic City, they finally saw the vast Atlantic Ocean. They managed to go from the shores of the Pacific Ocean to the shores of the Atlantic, penetrating the entire United States. It also divided the remaining American troops into two parts from the middle.

In the south, U.S. forces in northern Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia were divided in the east. They are with the Northern Politics. The land connection of the prefecture was completely severed. As for sea transportation, it is even more unreliable. Because the Ming Navy has gradually gathered on the east coast of the United States at this time, especially in the waters south of Delaware, even a small sampan going to sea will encounter great danger at this time.

To the south, more than a million U.S. troops were cut off from retreat. They are demoralized and lack the support of all kinds of weapons and equipment, as well as the supply of various supplies, especially medicines. Medicines, all over the town, have been looted, and even the army is not adequately supplied.

These units have actually been abandoned. U.S. Politics. The order given to them by the government was to hold out until the last moment, and they were ordered to hold on to the fight until the last man. It's actually about letting them die. The besieged American troops to the south tried to break out of these besieged places by the Ming army. But they have no other way to go than by air.

Every night, large military transport planes will go back and forth between the north and the south to transport some of the personnel and supplies. However, the people who can get on these planes are basically some people with real backgrounds and real power. Like the officers in the army, the local magnates, and the rich and rich. As for the rank-and-file officers and civilians, even the airport could not be approached.

The planes were not actually safe, because the night fighters of the Ming would often make sorties to intercept them. Moreover, during the day, the Ming army would often bomb various airports, bringing great danger to the airlift. What's more, because of the limited number of tickets, many powerful people simply can't board the plane. As a result, many have turned their attention to sea freight.

At this time, the U.S. Navy had essentially lost all of its own warships. Even if there were warships, they would not be sent out to die at this time, and they had basically been driven to the north. And the transport ship could not go to sea. The Atlantic Ocean from Delaware to the south is basically full of the Ming Navy, and it is impossible for a transport ship to escape even if it is a night road.

However, in this case, there is also the possibility of taking a submarine.

The surface ship forces of the Allied navies were close to total annihilation. But they still have a large number of submarine forces. Some of these submarines are docked in the southern region. Many people who did not get plane tickets turned their attention to these submarines.

As the offensive of the Ming army on the front line became more and more fierce, after the Ming army completely seized the whole of Florida and included all the airfields controlled by the American army as the target of the attack, the Allied submarine forces stationed in Charleston and Wilmington were ordered to flee north. Many high-ranking military officers and local magnates joined the fleeing army.

"Sir, the people are already overloaded, and we can't add any more people." The sky was dark and the wind was blowing. On a pier in Charleston Harbor, Second Lieutenant Donald, the second officer of the British Navy submarine USS Perch, approached Captain Hamilton and said eagerly, "We are now seriously overloaded, and it will be dangerous to add more people." ”

At this time, the submarine with a displacement of less than 1,000 tons had already loaded more than 200 people in addition to the normal loading, and there were still many people waiting to board the dock at the moment.

"I know." Captain Hamilton looked at the dignitaries on the dock who boarded his submarine one by one, and whispered, "Our ship is big, there is no problem." ”

In fact, what Hamilton knew was that the submarine had several tons of valuables, including gold, in addition to hundreds of people on board. Hamilton had charged a lot of money, and much of the gold belonged to him. Now that the war is coming to an end, Hamilton, as a soldier, has to think about his future.

The tickets given by Hamilton were very fair. Except for those who had to board the ship with a really prominent status, everyone else had to pay two gold bars of small yellow croaker as tickets. In other words, the more people he pretends to be, the more money he makes.

Now that the war is coming to an end, having a lot of gold in his hands guarantees that he can live a good life after the war. At this time, the more the better. No one knows if there will be such a good opportunity to make money in the future.

Eventually, by the time the Bass Good Submarine left Charleston Harbor and sailed into the Atlantic, it was overcrowded with about 270 people. These people could only be tightly packed into the small cabins everywhere, and it was very difficult to even move. Don't mention going to the toilet or something.

In addition to the personnel, there were the salutes they were carrying, as well as tons of precious metals and various other valuables that were placed in the torpedo compartment at the rear.

The sky was overcast and raining heavily that night. The wind swept the waves and crashed wildly against the submarine Bass, which was swaying in the wind and rain. In order to avoid being spotted by the Ming patrol fleet and planes after daybreak, Hamilton had to drive his submarine as high speed as possible. Because during the day he has to dive underwater.

Because the overload problem is too serious, especially the submarine weighing several tons of precious metal is very unstable. And the wind and waves on the sea have become everyone's talisman. At about three o'clock in the morning, the Perch was swept over by a huge wave as it sailed through the wind and rain.

The submarine was not able to resurface in the end. With hundreds of lives and a large amount of supplies, it sank to the bottom of the ocean about ninety nautical miles east of North Carolina. And accidents like the Perch are not isolated cases.

According to the records, there were about forty Allied submarines sailing from the south to the north during this time. Nearly a third of them were sunk by the attack of the Ming Navy and the bad sea conditions and even unknown reasons. This death course became very good material in the future.

In early September, U.S. forces in the south attempted to make a large-scale breakthrough to the north. They gathered all the forces at their disposal and marched north along the Atlantic coastline to New York, the nearest Allied area with a large corps.

However, this breakthrough was already doomed to failure at the beginning. Facing the strong Ming army at such a long distance, these American troops, who lacked all kinds of supplies, had no hope of successfully breaking through. On the way north, some people kept falling behind, and they were constantly surrounded and annihilated by the Ming army again and again.

In just half a month, the army of more than a million has completely collapsed. A large number of officers and men raised their hands and surrendered, and they no longer had the will and conviction to continue fighting.

By the end of September, the Ming army had completely wiped out the American resistance in the entire southern region. About 1.5 million U.S. officers and soldiers were surrounded and annihilated, and most of them became prisoners of war of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, a large number of US officers and soldiers have abandoned their weapons and uniforms, put on makeup and fled home as civilians.

Most of these fugitive U.S. troops were local National Guards. Their home is in the local area, and once they take off their uniforms and go home, they can't be recognizable at all.

After the southern region was swept away, the Ming army began to advance northward, and the first target was New York, which was claimed to be the most prosperous and wealthy location in the whole of America. This is the main target of the Ming army at this stage.

At the end of September, the Ming army on the front line was undergoing a large-scale mobilization and assembly. Delivery and storage of various military materiel to the front line. On the other side of the American continent, it is located in the city of Vancouver in the northwest of the American continent. At the begging of the US representatives, the negotiators of the Ming Dynasty finally entered the negotiation room again. (To be continued.) )
