Los Angeles, one of the largest cities on the West Coast of the United States, is now in ruins. In the battle a month ago, the entire Los Angeles was reduced to ruins in the attack of the squadron, especially the large-caliber naval guns fired by the Navy's warships, which were undoubtedly the main culprits in turning Los Angeles into ruins. Although, a month has passed, the appearance of Los Angeles has not changed at all.

After the Chinese occupy this place, of course, they will not rebuild the city. Hundreds of thousands of squadrons simply cleared some open space in the rubble and set up tents as camps. Some of the houses that were lucky enough not to be bombed became the quarters of the officers, as well as the offices of some important departments. As for the captured prisoners, they were all held in the open air. At this time, the Geneva Conventions did not protect the status of prisoners of war. Therefore, after these American soldiers were captured, they were treated very badly. I ate black hard bread every day, and I couldn't eat enough, but I had to engage in very heavy physical labor, building fortifications for the squadron, and so on. Many young Americans who joined the army with enthusiasm have already regretted it very much. It's just that there is no regret medicine in this world, they can only endure it bitterly. And, in their hearts, despair has been bred. Compared with the U.S. military and the squadron, the gap is too big. Many people believe that the United States will not be able to defeat China at all, and that the longer the war lasts, it will still be the United States that will be unlucky in the end.

On the night of August 13, U.S. time, in a humble house near the coast of Los Angeles, the generals of the squadron that launched an attack on the west coast of the United States. All gathered here for a military meeting. Admiral Li Dingxin, commander of the Pacific Fleet, served as commander of the temporarily established U.S. theater of operations. However, his main responsibility is to provide fire support and logistics support to the army. The battles on land were mainly commanded by the generals of the Sixth and Seventh Armies. The main person in charge of the battles on land was Lieutenant General Gao Chang, commander of the Sixth Army, and two army groups and two marine brigades were under his command.

In this evening's meeting. The divisional and brigade-level generals of the two group armies all participated, but on the Pacific Fleet's side, only Admiral Li Dingxin, commander of the fleet, and Vice Admiral Gao Yihai, chief of staff, participated.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the peace conference that is going on in Beijing is very unsmooth! Although the French have already signed a treaty with us, the empire has not gained much. The Indochina colony plus an indemnity of fifty million pounds only. In this war, the empire spent almost half a billion pounds on military spending. If the Empire is not able to gain enough in this war, the days to come, whether navy or army. I'm afraid I'm going to have a hard time! General Li Dingxin said.

Everyone smiled heartily. The rapid development of China's army and navy, in addition to normal military spending. A large part of it comes from war reparations from hostile countries. For example, Japan's 200 million pounds in reparations and the United States' 80 million pounds in reparations, although most of these indemnities were used for national construction, a very large part of them were still used for military spending, otherwise the navy would not have been able to frantically build ships, and the army would not have been able to expand from the original three divisions and ten brigades to the current 73 infantry divisions and a large number of brigade-level troops.

"Commander Li, I didn't say this, the brothers have been used to living a good life all these years. If you want to go back to a hard life, there is no brother who will agree. Since the peace meeting is not going well, then it is time for us people to come out, don't the Americans disagree? Then we'll fight until they agree! A tall general stood up and said loudly. He was none other than Lieutenant General Du Qizheng, commander of the Seventh Group Army, who had previously served as commander of the Central Plains Military Region. The chief of staff of the Seventh Army is Major General Niu Fakui, chief of staff of the Central Plains Military Region.

"Haha! Lao Du is right. These foreign devils, one by one, don't know what to do. If we negotiate with them with good intentions, and if they dare not give us face, then we will naturally not have to show mercy to our subordinates. Didn't the Americans deploy half a million men outside Los Angeles? This is a little bit of troops. It's not our opponent at all, and with just one charge, you can defeat these Yankees! Lieutenant General Gao Chang, commander of the Sixth Army, also said with a smile.

Other generals also spoke, and almost all of them said that they would immediately launch an attack to let these Americans know how powerful we are and let them negotiate with China honestly.

"Everyone, be quiet! This morning, the Chief of the General Staff has already given an order for us to immediately launch an attack on the American troops and beat the Americans to a painful beat! In this battle, it doesn't matter how many cities are occupied, the important thing is to eliminate the living force of the American army as much as possible! General Li Dingxin said.

"Commander Li, since that's the case, then let's get ready to fight!" Lieutenant General Du Qizheng, commander of the Seventh Army, said.

"War on land, you are more professional. Next, it's better for you to command. Everyone, including the Navy's warships, will assist you! General Li Dingxin said. He was an admiral, and he was not familiar with wars on land, and if he intervened, he would have become a layman guiding an insider. That's going to be a mess. If something goes wrong, he can't afford it.

"The operation against the US army has already been planned! Now, let me introduce the specific plan! 500,000 U.S. troops, mainly concentrated in Newhall, Palmdale, Victorville, San Bernardino, Corona and Irving. Among them, San Bernardino is the headquarters of the US army, where the US army concentrates 200,000 troops, and the remaining five cities, each city only has 60,000 troops. In this battle, it was very important to completely annihilate the American army in San Bernardino. The specific plan was as follows: after the battle was launched, the Sixth Army, with the strength of two divisions, launched an eastward attack from Santa Clarita, north of Los Angeles, crossed the San Antonio Hill from Acton, and then quickly moved south, captured Cajon, and blocked the eastward retreat of the American forces in San Bernardino. The remaining four infantry divisions of the Sixth Army and units directly under the Army Group, starting from Los Angeles and along the San Antonio Hills, attacked directly at San Bernardino. The Seventh Army, with three infantry divisions, defended north of Los Angeles and maintained pressure on U.S. forces in Newhall, Palmdale, and Victor. The remaining four infantry divisions of the Seventh Army and the units directly under the army moved south along the coast, first annihilating the American forces at Owen, then attacking Corona to the east, and finally cutting off the road for the American troops to escape. In order to confuse the American army, the Seventh Army first launched an attack on Owen, during which the Navy's warships provided fire support for the attack on Owen. At the same time, three infantry divisions of the Seventh Army and two infantry divisions of the Sixth Army moved north to attack Newhall, Palmdale and Victor. And then two infantry divisions of the Sixth Army, at once crossed the San Antonio hill to the east! Do you have any questions? After the introduction of the Sixth Army, Gao Chang, asked.

"How to arrange the specific attack time and the distribution of troops?" Lieutenant General Du Qizheng asked.

"Tomorrow morning the attack on Owen will be launched first, and the five infantry divisions that have been moved will also set off tomorrow morning. The main forces of the Sixth Army, in three days began an attack on San Bernardino. As for the distribution of troops, the 12th and 42nd Divisions of the Sixth Army were tasked with crossing the San Antonio Hill and cutting off the retreat of the American troops. The 34th Division of the Seventh Army, the newly formed 69th and 70th Divisions, put pressure on the American forces to the north. The remaining forces of the Seventh Army, attacking Owen to the south. The remaining forces of the Sixth Army, directly attack San Bernardino! Lieutenant General Gao Chang explained.

Du Qizheng, commander of the Seventh Group Army, had no objection to this arrangement. After that, the battle plan for this time was determined. After reporting to the General Staff for approval, the Sixth Army and the Seventh Army will start fighting in accordance with this plan.

Although the U.S. military has an advantage in terms of strength, in terms of overall combat strength, the squadron has thrown off the U.S. military several streets. Even if it were to deal with the 180,000 American troops in Newhall, Palmdale, and Victor with three divisions, especially if there were two new divisions, there would be no problem. In defensive operations alone, one division of the squadron is enough to resist the attack of more than five times the US army.

"Well, the battle plan for the U.S. military was decided in this way. The Navy was to send three heavy cruisers and five light cruisers, as well as five destroyers, to launch an artillery bombardment of Owen. This is also the only support that the Navy can provide to the Army in this war. The rest is up to you! However, I believe that the warriors of the empire will be able to defeat the American army! General Li Dingxin said with a smile. Owen is thirteen kilometers away from the coastline, which is exactly within the range of the naval guns of the naval warships, and the rest of the cities are too far from the coastline for the navy's battleships to reach at all.

"Commander Li, please rest assured, we will definitely be able to win this battle!" Lieutenant General Gao Chang said confidently.

The General Staff replied to the operational plan submitted by the US theater of operations two hours later, fully agreeing with their operational plan. And they agreed with their operational goal of annihilating the living forces of the US military as much as possible. Although the U.S. Army is trying its best to expand its troops, the combat effectiveness of the new recruits is extremely poor, and it is getting worse and worse. As long as the veterans of the U.S. military are eliminated, the remaining U.S. troops will not have anything to fear.

On August 14, the main force of the Seventh Army was the first to leave Los Angeles and launched an attack on Owen, sixty kilometers to the south!
