Chapter 1030: Bering Strait

At a time when the sub-bases in the Philippines were constantly stirring up the turmoil around them, in the northeasternmost corner of the Eurasian continent, two sub-bases also began to provide ammunition for the artillery fire of the Chinese army.\\

After the adjustment of the Alaska sub-base, it can cover the entire Bering Strait and extend to the Eurasian continent, plus the sub-base near the Chersky Mountains, which has already controlled the perimeter of the Asia-America Passage.

The Americans, unbeknownst to them, crashed headlong into it.

"The winter climate in Alaska is so harsh that it's not easy for anyone but dogs and huskies to survive. We only need to defend to completely block the attack of the Chinese. "In the beginning, the view within the U.S. military was to launch a passive defense in Arras.

Still, there are calls for a more aggressive offensive at the link between the United States and Asia.

"We can't just defend passively and watch the Chinese rely on their land forces to cross the Bering Strait and set foot on our land. We have to take the initiative to show the fearless spirit of our awesome boys in the Chinese people's impossibility in the impossible! "MacArthur, who was transferred back to the General Staff for retirement, once again jumped out unwillingly and fully supported the plan of a counteroffensive from Alaska to the Asian continent,

"The weather was as bad for us as it was for the Chinese. The same bad weather in the past didn't stop our forefathers from conquering Alaska, but are we going to back down today? Has our fearless adventurous spirit been worn away by modern luxury? For the sake of a better future for the whole world, we will never give up. What we need now is to do it, and God will decide the rest! ”

MacArthur's lobbying was successful, and the Americans originally planned to set up a division in Alaska for passive defense, but later changed it to three divisions, and from which they were to draw elite troops to counterattack the Far East from the Bering Strait.

Although MacArthur was a little selfish, he would not wait for the weather to improve and fight back with the cooperation of the US Navy, but focused on supporting the surprise attack of the Army, but counterattacked from places where the Chinese did not expect. It's also easy to get your hands on.

Even if the Far East is too desolate, the result is not so much about the number of cities captured, but more importantly about the political significance of the American victory. This is what the Roosevelt administration, which has been tormented by the bad news from all over the country, urgently needs, and it is also a good way to boost the morale of the American ** team that has failed one after another.

When Huaxia launched a fierce attack in various places, Washington advanced this somewhat risky plan. So that only 2 divisions can be quickly assembled in place. And the army that can be delivered to another continent at one time has only one brigade and about 10,000 people.

"The Chinese may have thought that the freezing cold there as low as minus 49 degrees Fahrenheit would kill any enemy, and their garrison in the Bering Strait was only one regiment." This is the intelligence that the Americans have repeatedly probed.

In temperatures as low as -45 degrees Celsius, if your limbs are exposed for 20 seconds, you can get frostbite. At this time, the greatest enemy of the Chinese people there was not the Americans or the Russians, but the severe cold and lack of supplies.

In a large area to the east of the Lena River, there was only one half of Wei Lihuang's army. Half of them needed to be rotated to the country to rest and recuperate, and only three divisions and more than 50,000 people were left behind.

The supply of these personnel. In the case of the severe cold road closure and the lack of care before the sub-base, it is already very difficult. Most of them are also concentrated in the south, and the Bering Strait, which is a more difficult place to take into account, arranging a regiment is already an extreme test of China's normal logistical supply capabilities.

Of course, this was before the adjustment of the sub-bases, and the Americans carefully probed many times. The origin of the information that has been confirmed.

"One brigade is enough to wipe out all the Chinese there and occupy the shores of the Bering Strait." After careful calculations, the staff of the Americans finally chose the most cost-effective way. In fact, the large amount of supplies prepared to withstand the severe cold and the soldiers' complaints about this brain-slapping operation despite the harsh environment have already caused them a headache.

On March 5th, the two regiments, which had been prepared, set off first.

The Bering Strait is frozen from October to April. There may be more ice floes at the end of March, but at the beginning of March, as long as you can find the right way. The frozen Bering Strait can be safely passed with the help of tools.

The Americans have long known about this place, and the Diomede Islands in the middle of the Bering Strait are now occupied by the Americans. All kinds of convenient conditions gave them the confidence that the army would raid across the Bering Strait, and even transport trucks and some armored vehicles.

There are no vehicles. In the vast snowfield, Americans who are not interested in dog sledding are not able to move an inch. If it weren't for the fact that it was planned too early, there would have been more of these vehicles, even light tanks, which were designed for harsh environments.

"These are enough, our opponents are not the Germans, but the Chinese who used the train as a monster a few years ago!" Even if there is a lot of news, as long as they have not experienced it personally, the arrogant Americans will still not believe in the miracles created by the Chinese, not to mention that this time the leader is Walton Walker, who has just been promoted to lieutenant general after his meritorious service in Europe.

Lao Mai did not get the opportunity to take credit for his Pacific Army, and the American top brass was not worried about letting those recruits who did not have much experience complete the mission, and finally Walker, who had been wounded and recuperated from the European battlefield, was written on the final list.

The tiger dog, affectionately known as the best mongrel boy in his army, was known for his ferocity and toughness.

This time he went directly to the Deomeid Islands, and under the charge of 2 regiments accompanied by 85 modified M5 light tanks, the command headquarters also moved forward. This made the chief of staff of the operation, Major General William Fischer Dean, who was full of academic cultivation, somewhat dissatisfied. However, under the cover of hundreds of warplanes in the air, Dean, who was not expecting any danger, ignored Walker's reckless behavior. After all, he also served under Patton, and he knew Patton's affection for the tiger dog.

"Everything went well for us on offense! If the weather is better for this son of a bitch, or if we are given a few more supply packages on top of our heads, we can rush to Magadan in one go and kick open the doors of those hibernating Chinese! Hahaha! Sure enough, under the surprise attack of the Americans, the operation went smoothly, and soon landed on the Eurasian continent in a place that the Chinese people could not detect. Even when most of the two regiments landed successfully, they didn't even see the shadow of the Chinese.

This made Walker can't help but rumor backwards: "Tell the group of dogs in the back, don't hide behind like a." If you want to get a medal, come here. Maybe we'll hit Vladivostok in one go! ”

The attentive Walker understands that the effect of a brigade's occupation of enemy land is not the same as that of more troops, and that such an easy credit can be magnified to a greater glory after more troops enter.

Although the two divisions already on Alaskan soil were under the command of Walker, the supreme command of this operation was in Washington.

However, the news that he sent back to the front line went smoothly still moved Washington's heart. An easy foothold in Asia would not only lead to greater political victories, but also more initiative in the next move.

As for supplies, the Americans, with their strong logistical capabilities, do not think too much about it, they now need to hear the cheers of victory at home even more.

As a result, more and more troops meandered across the continent through Alaska's ice and snow passages.

For half a month, even if there was a bad snowstorm during this period, the Americans still sent a division, about 30,000 people.

On March 10, a battalion of the Chinese army that had just been encountered was about to collapse, and although there were constantly small Chinese troops harassing them, they never organized large-scale army resistance, so they allowed the American ** team to continue to advance inland.

"It should be the braids of the Chinese people that entangle their little feet. Maybe when our army plants the Star-Spangled Banner in the Starov Mountains, there will be a large army of those Chinese who always like to hibernate with their hands! Walker laughed arrogantly at the praise of the media reporters who came with him, but he felt a little empty in his heart.

His instincts told him that such things were never that simple.

"It's time to stop!" Marshall also admonished.

The successful attack on the land of Asia this time is definitely a little inspiring light in the news of the successive defeats on various battlefields, and it has already achieved its political goal.

But before the Washington high-level officials issued the order to garrison, the US troops in front were already in a rout.

No one expected that the counterattack of the Chinese would be so rapid, and more than 900 rhinos and more than 1,000 functional infantry fighting vehicles, rolling in a blizzard, swept through the entire armored forces of the Americans on the day of March 21. The M5 and a handful of Shermans were vulnerable, and the more than 700 warplanes covering them continued to fall overhead, and some were even blown into fireballs directly on the airstrip.

The land captured by the Americans in half a month was completely lost in just 3 days and was driven to the Bering Strait.

Walker Tiger Dog had already become the soul of a rhinoceros when he retreated, and Dean, who had temporarily become the commander of the remaining 1.3 American troops, looked at the once safe passage of the floating ice floe in the Bering Strait full of blood and the dead bodies of American soldiers, and his heart was full of despair.

"We surrender!" Dean, who continued to stay alone for another two days, finally ignored the news from Washington, and led a group of hungry and cold American soldiers to raise the white flag.
