"Analysis confirmed?" The imperial capital, Zhang Cheng's official residence. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

News of the discovery of an unexploded superbomb on the frontline battlefield was quickly sent back home and placed on Zhang Cheng's desk. Zhang Cheng, who was extremely surprised by this, hurriedly summoned his intelligence officers and inquired carefully about this matter.

"The experts have analyzed it." Wang Yan put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Zhang Cheng, nodded and said, "Experts say that this is indeed the No. 1 bomb." However, there was a problem with the detonating mechanism, so it did not detonate successfully. ”

"Detonating device?" Zhang Cheng was puzzled and asked, "Is it difficult?" ”

"It's actually not that difficult." Wang Yan said loudly, "According to the experts' explanations, although it requires a very cumbersome calculation process and verification, it is also necessary to carry out continuous experiments. It's not an unsolvable problem, though. After analysis, they concluded that the Americans' No. 1 bomb did not explode because of a design problem. That is, they rushed to the battlefield before they were ready. ”

The experts of this era are experts in the true sense of the word. The credibility of what they said is more than ninety out of nine, and it is definitely not comparable to those brick beasts in modern time and space. Zhang Cheng also agrees with the analysis of these professionals. Trust their judgment.

After nodding slightly, Zhang Cheng turned his head to look at Xiao Hongbao, who was sitting next to Wang Yan, and asked aloud, "The intelligence department doesn't have a little warning?" Didn't get any information about it? This time there was no explosion, and if it did, how big would the loss be? ”

"Yes, Your Excellency." Xiao Hongbao bowed his head slightly, and said in a deep voice, "This time it was our mistake. According to inside sources, we have always believed that the Americans' super-bomb program never reached the point of final completion. So I let my guard down. And this time the Americans were a covert operation. All those involved were single-line orders, and our moles were not notified. ”

"Pay more attention to this kind of thing in the future." Zhang Cheng looked at Xiao Hongbao and commanded in a deep voice, "You can't not ignore your opponent just because you have an advantage, especially this kind of intelligence that I have emphasized many times." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency." At this time, Wang Yan and Xiao Hongbao, who were the intelligence leaders of the Ming Dynasty, hurriedly responded at the same time.

"Okay, pay more attention in the future." Zhang Cheng began to change the topic and said, "Since the Americans have begun to use superweapons on the battlefield, then we can't show weakness. Where is our superweapon now? ”

"Your Excellency, we have six superweapons stored in the Los Angeles area at this moment. If necessary, you can load a strategic bomber and throw it out at any time. Xiao Hongbao's answer made Zhang Cheng nod slightly, "Very good." Now what I want to know is, how many superbombs do the Americans have? Where are they all produced? Also, when will our army be able to capture Oak Ridge? ”

"Your Excellency." Wang Yan responded, "After knowing this matter, we have launched all the high-level internal investigations in the United States to investigate this matter, and the current intelligence is that the Americans only have this live ammunition for the time being, which is used for verification." However, they are rapidly producing other superbombs. And trying to solve the problem of the detonating device. And all of their manufacturing sites are in Oak Ridge. ”

"As for the army, I still have to ask the army about this." Wang Yan's words made several people turn their eyes to Lu Zhiyuan, who had not spoken on the side, and he was now the deputy chief of general staff of the army.

"The General Staff has developed a plan of attack for the attack on Oak Ridge." Lu Zhiyuan felt Zhang Cheng's gaze and said in response, "Our powerful army forces are launching a fierce attack on the Oak Ridge area. The General Staff expects to be able to capture it in a week at most. ”

"Good." Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly, "I'll wait for a week, if the army doesn't capture Oak Ridge after a week, then we will use the No. 1 weapon." In addition, another batch of No. 1 weapons will be shipped from China. Since the Americans have already used it, then we don't need to be polite. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency."

After receiving a direct order from the General Staff, the Ming army's troops on the front line immediately launched a fierce attack on the Oak Ridge area, which was not far away. The General Staff of the Ming Army mobilized a huge number of troops, including four armored divisions and nine mechanized infantry divisions, and launched this campaign with this order directly to the General Staff.

By this time, the resistance of the American army on the front line in Tennessee had almost completely collapsed, and the American troops everywhere were either surrounded or in retreat. The morale of the army was completely lost, and they were simply unable to resist the Ming army's rounds of offensives. Under these conditions, it took only a few days for the Ming attacking forces to rush into the Oak Ridge area.

Subsequently, after clearing the remaining buildings and positions on the ground, many Ming troops began to attack the underground base of the American army.

The U.S. troops stationed at the Oak Ridge underground base are all carefully selected elite troops. They engaged in fierce exchanges of fire with the attacking Ming troops in various bases. And with the help of a large-scale underground base, it was entangled with the Ming army and resisted step by step. However, the difference in strength between the two sides is simply too great.

In fact, the total number of alert troops deployed by the US military in the underground base in the Oak Ridge area is not large. After all, this is an experimental base, mainly for scientific research and production. Moreover, after experiencing the continuous air raids of the Ming army's army and aviation, there were less than 10,000 troops capable of fighting at this time. Most of the rest are researchers and logisticians.

When the Ming army began to wear down the defenders with great strength, the resistance of the defenders could only be hopeless.

Regardless of the location, every fierce battle will be followed by a huge price for both sides. However, the Ming army had an almost endless supply of reinforcements, and could always maintain the most powerful combat effectiveness. On the contrary, the defenders fought one less than one.

Although the U.S. military is trying to mobilize those logistics personnel and even scientific research personnel to distribute weapons for combat. But in the end, these long-held people with pen sticks were simply unable to use weapons. The Ming army was so strong that it did not stop at all, and within two days, the entire underground base was swept away.

At the last moment, a telegram was sent from the top of the United States demanding that all scientific researchers be disposed of, but at this time, the vast majority of scientific researchers either died in the war or fell into the hands of the Ming army. This order was not carried out.

After successfully capturing Oak Ridge, the last piece of heart in Zhang Cheng's heart was finally cleared. He is now completely relieved, and he is waiting in the imperial capital to meet the final victory of the war.

The vast majority of the Ming army on the front line did not know that this war would go in a frightening direction. They were still fighting according to the orders of their respective units. The most important battle at this time was undoubtedly the attack on Charlotte.

By this time, the forces of the American army on the territory of Tennessee had begun to fall into a situation of total collapse. Large numbers of U.S. troops fled through the narrow area near Charlotte toward the East Coast. And the Ming army didn't want to let these routs escape, and regain their combat effectiveness after resting and recuperating.

As a result, the attack on Charlotte received a great deal of attention.

The U.S. military has gathered nearly 200,000 troops in the Charlotte area, and there are dozens of troops of various divisional numbers. However, the morale of its army has fallen to the bottom at the moment, and there are not many people who can really fight to the death. Although there is a strong air force in the sky to protect and support, there are not many losses in terms of air strikes. But the damage on the ground was greater.

The greatest losses of the American troops were not actually yet their armored units, but their artillery units.

Although the U.S. military has a large number of self-propelled guns, their mobility is excellent. But in fact, it is those towed artillery that really exist as the core and main force of artillery. This is the real core of artillery, which far outnumbered the expensive self-propelled guns.

This is true not only of the U.S. military, but of any country in the world with mechanized troops, even the mighty Ming Army. The main force of artillery in the Ming Army was also those towed artillery with a large number. And the mobility of these guns is not outstanding in this world of three-dimensional combat.

Because of the continuous defeat of the American army, a large number of artillery was destroyed, and many artillery pieces were chased and eliminated by the Ming army on the way to retreat. By this time, the artillery units of the American army had already suffered heavy losses. When the Ming army launched a ferocious artillery bombardment of the American positions near Charlotte, it was already difficult for the American troops to carry out large-scale artillery countermeasures.

Without strong artillery suppression, it is difficult for the air power to attack to play a decent role. Under such circumstances, the US military could only passively withstand the unscrupulous firepower of the Ming artillery.

Many positions were blown into ruins by the Ming army's formidable artillery with round after round of ferocious shelling. The countless losses of equipment and personnel not only caused huge casualties to the US military, but also dealt a devastating blow to the morale of the US military.

Because they had never thought of a fierce battle with the Ming army on their homeland, the Americans did not construct any decent fortifications on their homeland. Especially in an inland city like Charlotte, there are no strong defenses around it. When the Ming army was under heavy shelling, it could only be heavy losses.

When the Ming army launched armored attacks again and again, the American army could only resist with human lives. Each capture of a position almost meant the loss of a force. It is not that the officers and soldiers of those units are really willing to fight to the death, but because it is difficult for them to outrun the armored forces of the Ming army on the battlefield.

At the height of the fierce fighting in the Charlotte area, the daily casualties of the US military were almost more than 10,000! (To be continued.) )
