While the Chinese empire lobbied Mexico, the United States also sent commissioners to Mexico to mediate, promising benefits to the Mexican authorities. However www.biquge.info the promises made by the American commissioner to the pro-American forces in Mexico were too low, and there were no favorable conditions given by the Chinese Empire, so the United States failed in the game on the Mexican issue.
What makes the US authorities sad is that on the one hand, Mexico passed a bill to form an alliance with the Chinese Empire, and on the other hand, in accordance with the demands of the Chinese Empire, it released smoke bombs to the United States, politically deceiving the United States, making the US authorities think that Mexico is still vacillating between China and the United States, and the United States still has a chance to save the situation.
In fact, the United States did not believe that Mexico had concluded an alliance with the Chinese Empire after only half a day's talks, and their experience told them that such negotiations would take ten days and half a month or more. Therefore, the U.S. side underassessed this, resulting in an inaccurate judgment of the U.S. side in preparing for a possible change in Mexico, or at least underestimating Mexico's anti-American determination.
On 7 June, 300,000 elite troops of the Chinese Emperor completed their landing at the port of Nsenada, Mexico. Although the Mexican authorities kept the information tightly sealed, the U.S. government learned from the pro-American elements in the Mexican authorities.
U.S. President Woodrow was shocked to learn that the Chinese Empire had reached an alliance agreement with Mexico, and hurriedly convened an emergency combat meeting to discuss countermeasures.
Although preparations for war in Hawaii were not yet complete, the U.S. military was able to breathe and quickly amassed 4 million troops on its homeland, including 900,000 troops withdrawn from Europe to the U.S. mainland. Originally, the United States had 2 million troops in Europe, but due to the fierce attack by the submarine forces of the Imperial Chinese Navy in the Atlantic, the American troop carriers suffered heavy losses, and nearly 300,000 American troops were buried at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean during the two-month retreat. In addition, the negotiations between the two major European military blocs had not yet been finalized, and the Allies had detained 800,000 American troops, so that only 900,000 had finally returned to the United States in early June.
These U.S. troops have more or less fought one or two battles, so in terms of combat effectiveness, they are much stronger than the more than 3 million recruits in the United States, so they are called elite by the U.S. military command, but compared with the Chinese emperor, it is still a small thing.
The U.S. High Command had previously deployed its main forces on the west and east coasts of the United States in order to defend against a possible attack by the Chinese Empire. Among them, the states located on the west coast have the largest total troops, as high as 2.7 million people, and the US military command judges that the main direction of attack of the Chinese emperor is on the Pacific coast, so the military equipment produced by the United States' strong industrial capacity is mainly concentrated on the west coast, with 12,000 combat aircraft, 8,000 tanks, 45,000 artillery, 40,000 heavy machine guns, and 40,000 military vehicles.
Although 2.7 million U.S. troops were deployed on the west coast, they were forced to disperse along the coastline of more than 2,000 kilometers on the west coast because they did not know the possible main direction of attack and landing location of the Chinese emperor, and many cities and ports had to send heavy troops to defend, making the defense of the U.S. military on the west coast very passive.
When Mexico fell to the Chinese Empire, the US high command was so angry that it almost vomited blood, because the main forces of the US army were on the east and west coastlines, and the number of troops on the US-Mexico border was less than 300,000.
After learning that the Chinese Emperor ** had landed in Mexico, the U.S. military realized the danger. (Full text e-book free download)
The U.S. military command immediately formulated a battle plan against Mexico codenamed "Southern Plan", which stipulated: If the Chinese Imperial ** and the Mexican Army attack the United States, then taking advantage of the fact that the main forces of the Chinese Imperial ** have not yet completed the assembly, the US Army will first attack southward and seize the provinces of Hermosillo and Chihuahua in Mexico, so as to eliminate the threat of southern Mexico, continue to take a defensive position on the eastern and western coastlines, prevent the landing attack of the Chinese Imperial **, and wait for the US inland and east coast to withdraw troops to the south for defense. At the same time, the U.S. Navy will go south to the Gulf of Mexico to cover the landing of a U.S. Marine Corps in the Gulf of Mexico, attack from behind the Chinese Di, and eventually encircle all the Chinese Di** in Mexico.
To this end, the US military mobilized a total of 40 divisions and 22 brigades, 3,870 tanks, 4,824 aircraft and 14,300 artillery pieces. Seven army groups in Washington, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, California, and Arizona were formed, and three campaign clusters were formed, deployed along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Similarly, after being allowed to pass through Mexico, the Chinese Empire immediately began to formulate an operational plan codenamed "Black Lightning" in order to bypass the eastern and western coastlines heavily defended by the US military and break through the weakly defended US-Mexico border, thereby recovering the time that the Chinese Empire had been delayed by the Hawaii base issue.
It would be far more cost-effective to attack the U.S. mainland through Mexico than for the Chinese Empire to force a landing head-on from the east and west coasts of the United States. Therefore, the General Staff of the Chinese Empire made a bloody investment and landed the 300,000 standing army of the most elite in the Chinese Empire as an expeditionary force in Mexico. Including the Royal Praetorian Guard, the First Army, the Second Army, the Third Army, the First Marine Division, the Second Division, the Third Division, etc., all of them are the trump card troops of the Chinese Emperor, and they are all world-class existences in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness.
Since the General Staff won the participation of the Imperial Guards from the Chinese Emperor Wang Chenhao, several armored divisions and mechanized infantry divisions of the Imperial Guards were dispatched, and Wang Chenhao issued an order to the General Staff to use blitzkrieg as an operational tactic.
In accordance with Wang Chenhao's request, the Chinese Imperial Command planned to carry out a surprise attack with a rapid corps and a powerful air force, destroy the US defense line like lightning, occupy important military bases and ports in California and Arizona, control the industrial area, and then drive straight into the hinterland of the United States, encircle and annihilate all isolated US military regiments, and strive to disrupt the US mainland defense system within half a month, and strive to defeat the United States at an early date and end the war.
According to Wang Chenhao's conception, if the blitzkrieg is successful, then it is very likely that the three-month battle plan for defeating the United States drawn up before will be realized, and even if it is delayed for some time, it will not be delayed for too long, and the war against the United States will be ended in four to five months at the latest.
To this end, in addition to the first batch of 300,000 elite troops who landed in Mexico, the Chinese Emperor ** also has 62 divisions and about 1.6 million people who will complete the landing within two weeks.
In order to prepare the Black Lightning Operation Plan, Emperor China used 800 M16 combat vehicles, 4,200 M10 combat vehicles, 650 W16 wheeled infantry combat vehicles, 520 Z16 anti-tank combat vehicles, 600 Hellfire fighters, 1,500 Thunderbolt fighters, 6,300 Cat Demon fighters, 800 H2N1 bombers, 2,400 H1N1 bombers, 36,500 artillery pieces of various types, 86,000 light and heavy machine guns, and 64,000 military trucks. Two aircraft carrier battle groups and 120 warships took part in the battle.
The follow-up forces included the Imperial Allied Army from the Kingdom of Korea, the Kingdom of the Ryukyus, the Republic of Lanfang, the Wa Kingdom, the Republic of Australia, Siam, Afghanistan, and Papua, as well as the Armenian and Black Servant Army from the Chinese Overseas Colonies, totaling 770,000 men.
At the beginning, the General Staff of the Chinese Empire was ready to use them as cannon fodder for the beach landing battle, but now the plan could not catch up with the changes, and the Chinese Emperor ** gave up the operational plan of landing directly from the west coast of the United States, so the cannon fodder had other roles, that is, to follow the main force of the Chinese Emperor**, when the Chinese Emperor ** defeated the main force of the US army, these miscellaneous armies will be used to sweep away the remnants of the US army.
Of course, there is also the Mexican army, the equipment and funds promised to them by the Chinese emperor ** cannot be in place immediately, and the Chinese empire first gave the Mexican government army a part of the military supplies, encouraging them to enter the war in order to recover the lost territory. In this way, the Mexican government army will dispatch 100,000 people as a supplement to the Chinese imperial army.
Although the Chinese Empire looked down on the Mexican army, 100,000 people were better than nothing, and it could contain a considerable part of the American army.
The Chinese Emperor ** and Mexico formed two army groups, the East Road and the West Road. The Mexican Army is in charge of the East Route Cluster, which is used to contain the arrival of American reinforcements from the East Coast of the United States. The Chinese Emperor **, together with the Imperial Allied Army and the Servant Army, formed the West Route Army Group to directly attack the main force of the American army and the American troops reinforced from the west coast of the United States.
On June 8, the main force of the Chinese Emperor ** entered the predetermined position on the US-Mexico border for pre-war preparations.
At 4:55 a.m. on June 9, 1917, more than 3,000 bombers of the Chinese Emperor's ** bomber group, escorted by 2,000 fighters, took off from 15 military and civilian airfields in Mexico and flew towards the United States from the roaring direction, their targets were American troops, arsenals, airfields, railways, highways and bridges on the U.S.-Mexico border.
In minutes, native Americans got their first taste of sudden death and destruction from the sky, the largest in human history.
Thousands of artillery pieces fired at the U.S.-Mexico border, and shells rained down on U.S. positions. In an instant, the flames were raging and the smoke was filled.
About 1 hour later, the ground forces of the Chinese Emperor launched an attack on all fronts from the east, west, and southwest. At the same time, Navy warships also approached the US naval base in San Diego and opened fire on the US military at the base.
Because the Imperial Chinese Air Force took off before dawn, and the US reconnaissance planes could only take off after dawn to reconnoitre, when the attack plane group of the Imperial Chinese Air Force flew over the US position, just after dawn, the US military was caught off guard, and 500 first-line planes were blown up at the airport before they could take off, countless artillery, automobiles, and other baggage were destroyed before they could retreat, the transportation hub and command center were destroyed, and the troops fell into chaos.
The Chinese Emperor ** took advantage of the situation to take the chariot troops and motorized troops of the Royal Praetorian Guard as the lead and set off a blitzkrieg.
The armored fighting vehicle units of the Imperial Chinese Army are extremely powerful, extremely mobile, and extremely powerful, far from being comparable to the tank units of the US army.
In addition, the U.S. military did not pay attention to the defense of the U.S.-Mexico border in the first place, and the fortifications there were very weak, and the armored divisions and mechanized infantry divisions of the Imperial Guard of the Chinese Empire quickly broke through the U.S. border defense line with an unstoppable momentum, and the powerful artillery of the combat vehicles destroyed the fortress fortifications of the U.S. positions, and the machine gun fire slaughtered the unobstructed U.S. soldiers. When the tank crossed the American trench, it left behind a large area of American corpses.
The Chinese Emperor ** soldiers, who had learned to fight together, followed closely behind various armored fighting vehicles, dodging the American artillery fire and bullets fired from the front, while covering the advance of the armored fighting vehicles in front.
Soon, the Chinese Emperor ** broke through the American defense line from several major locations.
Because the US military made a fatal mistake in the deployment of the war, that is, it placed the main forces and main equipment on the front line, and because the US military lacked experience in war, it could only draw experience from the First World War, and its defense was still dominated by positional warfare. But this kind of positional warfare fortifications are of no effect at all in the face of the steel torrent of the Chinese Emperor. The Chinese Emperor quickly destroyed the US defense line with the most fierce offensive, and the consequences of the armored division's breakthrough of the US military position were like a flood of a broken levee, and once the levee was destroyed, it was almost impossible to block it.
After breaking through the Polish defense line, the Chinese Emperor advanced to the hinterland of the United States at a speed of 50-60 kilometers per day. The First Army of the Chinese Emperor, with the Royal Janissaries as the main force, approached Phoenix, the capital of Arizona, from the middle. The Second Army, led by the First Army Armored Division, covered the right flank of the First Army and advanced toward Tucson, the second largest city in the Arizona state. On the left flank was the Third Army, with the elite of the Marines as the main force, although their number of tanks was small, but their offensive route was also the safest, close to the sea, with the help of the powerful naval guns of the Chinese Empire and the air support of the aircraft carrier battle group, but the speed of advance was much faster than the other two armies.
On June 10, the 2nd Marine Division advanced at its fastest pace, approaching Los Angeles, the capital of California, while the 1st Marine Division was delayed by an attack on the San Diego Naval Base in San Diego.
Although the high command expressed dissatisfaction with the sudden movement of the 2nd Marine Division, in order not to dampen the morale of the 2nd Marine Division, it still acquiesced to the actions of the 2nd Marine Division, verbally criticized the commander of the 2nd Marine Division, and urgently sent the 3rd Marine Division to cover its flank in order to ensure the safety period, and ordered the 9th Brigade of the 5th Marine Division to carry out a beach-rushing landing operation from Long Beach on the outskirts of Los Angeles, so as to contain the US troops here and reduce the flank pressure of the 2nd Marine Division.
It can be said that the 2nd Marine Division mobilized the entire Marine Corps, and the 2nd Marine Division, which originally used the 1st Marine Division as the core to fight, finally made the 2nd Marine Division the protagonist.
However, the 2nd Marine Division was fortunate to live up to its fate, and with the help of the entire navy, it defeated a cavalry brigade of the 19th, 21st, and 33rd Armies of the U.S. Army of the California Army on the 11th, attacked the city of Los Angeles, and occupied Los Angeles on the same day.
With a strength of less than 20,000 troops, the Second Marine Division was stunned to defeat more than 80,000 troops of the two main forces of the US army and one main cavalry brigade, creating the most glorious record since the start of the Sino-US war, and causing the US military to lose face.
