For the whole day on October 28, 1943, the fighting between the two sides was mainly concentrated in the sky. After all www.biquge.info both sides are powerful mechanized legions, and they both know that they have powerful air power in their hands, and they all know that they want to play this card.

On this sunny day, the two sides engaged in a fierce air battle with thousands of fighters of various types around the entire Los Angeles and its vicinity. As time went on, the U.S. military drew more and more air power from all over the homeland. If it weren't for the huge storm blowing in Nevada in the afternoon, the U.S. military would have put more force into the battlefield.

Although the Ming army's aviation strength was superior in terms of quality and the quality of its pilots, the number of US fighters was too many. Under these circumstances, the Ming landing headquarters quickly readjusted its deployment, postponed the landing time of some troops, and spared enough unloading capacity to hand over to the army aviation fighter units to unload their new fighters to seize air supremacy.

At the same time, the Ming army command also issued an order to expand the landing area, also for air supremacy.

Although the engineering units of the Ming army had prepared a large number of specially made modular steel plates for laying temporary airfields long before departure, this still could not be compared with regular airports. After receiving the order, the ground troops of the Ming army did not have any time to rest at all, and soon embarked on the journey again.

At daylight on the 28th, only two infantry divisions from San Diego reached the outskirts of Los Angeles, while reinforcements from other parts of California were still on the road. As for the mobilization of troops from other states, it will take even longer. In this era, there is no high-speed rail, and the time of railway transportation is not short. And as a heavy force, just loading those equipment and various supplies into the vehicle is a huge workload.

Moreover, the elite units of the US military are still deployed in Panama and Mexico at the moment, waiting for the Ming landing force that is impossible to appear again. Given the poor transportation conditions there, they had to return to their homeland by sea and then go to the front line from Texas and other places. And there's no limit to the amount of time it takes.

However, the Ming army did not have much time. Americans have more than 10 million troops on their home soil, and that number is constantly increasing. Although these troops were scattered across a large country, the Americans, like the Ming Dynasty, had a well-developed transportation system that could effectively transport troops and equipment.

It was another busy night, and the continuous high-intensity work made the Ming officers and soldiers very tired. Especially sappers and ground crews. But now is not the time to rest. The successful capture of the port in the Los Angeles area was of great significance to the Ming army. While unloading their forces on a large scale, they also slaughtered the other coastal port cities on both sides.

The more ports they had, the more advantageous it was for the Ming army.

The Ming army attacked two targets, San Diego in the south and Ventura in the north. Both cities have large ports and numerous airports. There were also a number of smaller cities along the way from the Los Angeles area to these two places, and the small ports in these cities could also share some of the logistical burden for the Ming army.

Another important reason is the terrain. The Los Angeles area, and much of the surrounding area, is located in a plain between the mountains and the Pacific Ocean. These mountains, facing the interior of the United States, are very unfavorable for mechanized troop operations. As long as the Ming army occupies the entrances of those important passages, it will be able to resist the counterattack of the American army very well and buy time for the landing of the main force in the future.

At this time, in Los Angeles, some neighborhoods and large buildings still have some U.S. troops resisting stubbornly. Because of the emphasis on the speed of advance, the Ming army only surrounded the defenders hiding in the fortified buildings for the time being. However, when the Ming army that landed became stronger and stronger, pulling out these nails became an urgent task.

The Los Angeles Grand Theatre, a huge building. It is the largest theater in the Los Angeles area, and it plays big shows almost every weekend, entertaining many of the upper class and middle class in the Los Angeles area. Of course, the theater also has several movie theaters where movies are shown.

After the loss of the front line on Landing Day, about a company of American infantry retreated into the theater. More than 100 local militiamen then fled into the area to join the defenders. And in the evening, a small detachment of the 49th Armored Division of the US Army, a Xiafei light tank, two armored vehicles and more than two dozen soldiers joined the group.

After the Ming troops were killed here, because the building was strong and attacked several times but could not be taken down, the commander immediately ordered to surround it and wait for follow-up orders. This large building on the Avenue of Fame has escaped for the time being. However, these are only temporary.

As for why the US officers and soldiers did not retreat, it was because as a regular soldier, if they retreated without receiving the order to retreat, they would inevitably be court-martialed. In fact, the situation is that the top level of the US military ordered to hold on to the last person.

In addition to here, several large department stores, several residential areas, as well as factories on the outskirts and some government agencies are in the hands of the Americans. When more and more Ming troops landed, these strongholds soon came under tremendous pressure.

"Shoot! Shoot! An American second lieutenant was shouting from a window on the second floor of the Los Angeles Grand Theater and a nearby 30 machine gun was firing fiercely outside.

The theater was so fortified that the Ming army's shelling and bombardment did not make much of a difference. But the number of American troops is too small. With such a huge theater, they simply couldn't hold on to every place, and they were very short of ammunition and medicine. Fortunately, there are many shops in the theater, and there is no shortage of food and water.

The Avenue of Fame is flanked by dense buildings, and the fire blockade of the US military has played little role. The Ming infantrymen, who maintained a standard battle formation, quickly approached the large building under the cover of several tanks. The U.S. army's light tanks and armored vehicles did not even have crews, but they knew very well that they were giving them for nothing in the face of the regular tanks of the Ming army.

After the tanks and armored vehicles blocking the gate were destroyed, the Ming tanks attacked the firing windows one by one from a long distance. Although the US military has anti-tank rocket launchers in their hands, the Ming tanks are far away, and their rocket launchers cannot reach them at all.

"Get out of the way!!" The American second lieutenant suddenly saw a Ming tank in the distance of the street slowly raising its muzzle, and it was pointing at his side. The frightened American lieutenant hurriedly grabbed the machine gunner by the collar and ran out of the room, but how could his legs run past the shells?

'Boom, boom! As the Ming tanks gave several points of fire one by one and disarmed the main threat, more than 100 heavily armed Ming officers and soldiers bowed their bodies and clenched their weapons and quickly rushed into the theater.

Although the officers and men of the Ming Dynasty did not have many troops, they were all elite troops, and their combat capability was far from being comparable to that of the US army, which was composed of a mixture of various arms. Armed with submachine guns and shotguns, these Ming troops rushed into the theater and immediately cleared the defenders layer by layer with ferocious firepower. Grenades and shotguns are also great melee weapons.

In particular, the Ming army's large-scale deployment of seven-company scattered shotguns among the combat engineers was simply a powerful weapon of destruction in close combat. This powerful piece of equipment can defeat all the defenders in a corridor in a short period of time. Because its dispersion is so powerful.

In the movie, it is not uncommon for a submachine gun to shoot down a large number of people in the hallway. But in fact, even AK does not have such a powerful penetrating power. If there is not enough angle of fire, a submachine gun will not be as lethal as a shotgun in such a narrow environment.

The U.S. military has not received much training in specialized street fighting, or even in such large buildings. Most of them use semi-automatic rifles, which have good performance and are conducive to mass production. Both the regular army and the militia are equipped in large quantities. However, this kind of weapon is a little difficult in this combat environment at this moment.

The Ming troops who invaded here were all combat engineers who had received a lot of training in street fighting. After receiving basic recruit training, they are assigned to the unit and have been training in this environment for several years. Whether it is the use of weapons and equipment or the coordination of technology and tactics, all have reached a state of integration.

The speed of the Ming army's combat engineers was very fast, and it took less than half an hour to clear most of the places in the Grand Theater, and finally only the last main hall that could accommodate thousands of people was still in the hands of the American army.

After another failed attempt to persuade them to surrender, the Ming army, which had been reinforced, soon launched an attack on the huge main hall.

The huge wooden door was blasted open, and dozens of white-smoking grenades whirred into the main hall. The Ming army did not just return a wave of grenades, but continued to move grenades inside, the intensity of which can be seen just by listening to the dense sound like firecrackers.

Not only grenades, but also a large number of smoke grenades were thrown by the Ming army. After the main hall was filled with smoke bombs of various colors, many Ming officers and soldiers wearing gas masks rushed in with submachine guns and shotguns, and in just a few minutes, they surrounded and annihilated all the dozens of American troops who were finally entrenched here.

Annihilated hundreds of defenders and captured the building, the Ming army's own casualties were not large. And the battles that took place here were staged in multiple places in the Los Angeles area almost simultaneously. No matter how the defenders put up resistance, they still ended up in defeat in the face of the overwhelmingly superior Ming army. (To be continued.) )
