From about five o'clock in the morning to seven o'clock in the morning, two hours of time, the new first army set off, galloping on the wasteland, some orders quietly reached each division commander and wing commander, and then reached each grassroots unit at a different level, this day for anything, do not do any restrictions, that is, they can play freely, attack freely, everything in front of them is the enemy, can attack to any extent. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

From the beginning of the implementation of the Sakura Plan to the present, there are only 10 days, the previous period of time, all are secret marches, and even the first three days, it is necessary to march at night, to be honest, the army is actually suppressed, everyone knows, the current secrecy, for the future outbreak, armored forces have always been the arms of attack, defense is not their main task, they must attack the attack in the attack, attack the opponent's weak link, kill with one blow, hiding is just a temporary tactic, now, Finally, it was time for them to break out, and their hearts were like tigers, and their morale was extremely high.

Although in the modern army, morale has gradually lost its role, especially in the 21st century, in high-tech warfare, especially the project of drones, performing tasks is like playing computer games, but at the beginning of the 20th century, even if it is an armored force, morale can still determine some characteristics of the army.

After the order was issued to the armored forces through the intercom system and telegrams, and then distributed to every tank through the relationship between superiors and subordinates, the entire new army was full of blood, 5000 armor, just like 5000 crazy tigers, began to blossom in the center of the United States, along the smooth roads of the Great Plains, began the process of long-distance running, this time, they want to arrive at the Pacific Railway at one time, 500 kilometers away, can not stop them at all, they will arrive at the Pacific Railway before nightfall, Truncate him.

The Missouri River is not far from the border between the United States and Canada, but 300 kilometers into it, it is already considered the hinterland of the United States, there are not many mouths, relying on the smooth irrigation near the Missouri River, the population here is slightly denser, through Montana, Idaho, and Utah, all the villages and settlements in the middle have been almost devastated.

All the villages, with almost no exceptions, were burned down, people were killed, the Japanese armored convoy, it was impossible to carry these personnel and prisoners, not even property, did not take much, just some soldiers brought some souvenirs, for the armored forces, the load, have been loaded in everyone's heart, they know very well, once the tank loses speed, their fate, will be very tragic.

They don't frantically load all kinds of belongings on tanks, even attack villages, and the time is accurate to the level of minutes, break through villages, burn houses, and even some people run faster, hide in the woods, and don't chase them, the secret march has been unsealed, they don't worry about leaking out, they just want to be fast, fast, faster, solve all the problems that stand in the way, and then rush to the front of the Pacific Railroad.

A large number of attacks on the village, the attack on the village is not long, in this case, there must be survivors, even if they clean up the surrounding area, it is impossible to completely cover up the information, after all, it is different from the encounter on the road, as long as there are no witnesses, missing and directly killed, these are two different things, now the village is done, and the village can't be hidden, when a village is on fire, it will definitely attract the curiosity of the people around, and they are not killing all the villages in this place, Through the smoke from the burning of the house, it was seen by the surrounding villagers, who may not dare to come at the time, but still dare to come later, and even when they were marching, they did not avoid the people, you can kill it, it doesn't matter if you can't kill it, they believe that with their speed, they are not afraid that someone will go to Salt Lake City to report the news, as long as they run faster than the person who reported the news.

On the one hand, the people who went may not have been able to catch up with the speed of the tanks, but they caught up, but they were hit by the tanks in the back, and they didn't know how much, and the roads to Salt Lake City were all occupied by the tank troops, and the rest were either detoured or inconvenient to walk, and even the ones they reported fell behind the New First Army, and with the attack power and attack intensity of the armored forces, they were able to survive the scene without being injured, very little, those lucky enough to escape, could they have thought of going to the news at the time, did they know that the target of the tank attack was the Pacific Railroad and Salt Lake City? Not to mention those who came to investigate, the New First Army cleared all the villages in the middle, and most of those who saw the smoke and came to see the situation were for a few hours, and in the afternoon, or at night, they found the attack, and then went to Salt Lake City, it was completely late.

In fact, the real reports of Japanese armored activities were reported from two other directions, the two cities of Billings and Helena, on the route, they were about the same distance, but there was no Japanese armored force to stop them, and they successfully reported the news that the American hinterland was under attack by a large-scale armored force.

These two places are also one of the few areas in the hinterland of the United States that have telegraphs, and when the radio is not perfect, there is generally only a cable telegraph next to the railroad, Billings and Helena, also on the railroad line, he is the North Pacific Railroad.

Among the alternatives to the Sakura Plan, the destruction of the North Pacific Railroad is also an aspect, but he is an alternative, if they can't cross the Missouri River and can only operate on the border between North America and Canada, they will choose the North Pacific Railroad to the west to destroy the purpose of destroying the U.S. communication line, the importance and traffic capacity of the North Pacific Railroad are not as bad as the Pacific Railroad, at least four or five times worse, this one is more than ten years later than the Pacific Railroad, and it is also in the middle of the transition to the north, no matter in all aspects, They are all far away from the Pacific Railroad.

It is precisely because of this that only 10,000 steps back will destroy the North Pacific Railway, and the New First Army only chose to pass, not destroy, of course, if after a large-scale transfer, they also need to destroy it, and in this way, the entire east-west connection of the United States will be completely severed, and there is not even a little room for it.

The North Pacific Railway's capacity is also limited, it is only a temporary branch line, and it is even polite to say that the military line from the east to Vancouver is also the closest to the North Pacific Railway, but there are very few military trains through the North Pacific Railway, and most of the logistics supplies are still through the Pacific Railway, and then from the West Coast Railway as a turnaround, not through the North Pacific Railway.

It is said that it is to attack Salt Lake City, in fact, it is two cities, Ogden in front, Salt Lake City in the back, the Pacific Railroad turns north in Salt Lake City, from Ogden to the west, both of these are important nodes, the Japanese attack is from the north, the brunt of the attack is Ogden, the distance between the two cities is not far, only about 53 kilometers, for the railway, it is a not short railway station, but for the speed of the armored forces, it is a 2-hour rapid march, after killing Ogden, Entering Salt Lake City, it's no problem at all.

Ogden was founded by Mormonism, and is a very small city, in fact, in these cities in the Great Plains, there are not a few big ones, and the vicinity of these cities is a vast countryside, and it is also one of the relatively large producers of grain in the United States, and it is not the most important production area, because the hurricanes of the Great Plains and some winds that are stronger than ordinary winds, erode the Great Plains, except for a few areas, such as near the Missouri River, there are other rivers nearby, and the rest of the place is basically a desert.

With a roar, the armored force overwhelmed this piece of land, with a huge axle, rushed towards Ogden, during which all the villages and people encountered were crushed by this powerful force, and the New First Army finally arrived in front of the Pacific Railroad, the lifeline of the central United States, appeared in front of the New First Army.

After working hard for so long, I finally reached the ultimate goal, as if the tiger in my heart was released, this is no longer a village settlement, but a real city, a hub city along the largest railroad line in the United States.

Most of the cities in the United States are newly built, especially in the west, even if they are attacked by horse bandits and Indians, they are not like Chinese cities, large-scale construction of city walls, at most some wooden fences, these for horse bandits, may have a certain ability to resist, but for armored forces, there is no way at all, when the strong armored force rushed over, the citizens of Ogden did not realize that death was coming.

Starting at 6 o'clock in the morning, 550 kilometers, a total of 17 hours, except for a small delay, basically at a speed of more than 35 kilometers, arrived in Ogden at about 11 o'clock in the evening.

It took about 20 hours, a long journey of more than 500 kilometers, when I arrived at Ogden, the city had already fallen asleep, this small city of only more than 10,000 people, I didn't realize that it would be attacked early, or such a fierce armored force, three divisions, surrounded Ogden in three aspects, and then rested a little, prepared, and began to attack Ogden's city, Ogden's fate has been locked.

I have to say that the nerves of these citizens are so big, they didn't even send out guards, and only when the gunshots rang out, the citizens who woke up like a dream began to make a mess, they were attacked, and it was the army, this is not April Fool's Day, not God's joke, but the real fact.
