With the withdrawal of the Chinese Emperor from the battlefield in Mexico, the strength of the American army in Mexico was reduced to about 700,000. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 About 2 million main forces of the U.S. military quickly withdrew to the U.S. mainland to prevent the Chinese Emperor from carrying out airborne operations on the U.S. mainland.
I have to say that Roosevelt finally judged accurately. The General Staff of the Chinese Empire indeed has a plan to carry out a large-scale beach-rushing landing operation from the west coast of the United States, and moreover, it is to cooperate with the airborne troops to parachute into the United States, and the Marine Corps, under the cover of powerful naval and air force firepower, will flank the US coastal defense troops deployed on the west coast of the United States.
The miscalculation of the Chinese Emperor ** on the battlefield in Mexico, coupled with the sudden awakening of the US High Command, forced the large-scale beach-grabbing landing operation plan codenamed "Typhoon" drawn up by the General Staff of the Chinese Empire to be changed again and again, and it was postponed for more than a whole month and still not completed. ╔╗
The US military quickly returned to its homeland, strengthened its coastal defense forces on the east and west coasts, and focused on improving its air defense forces. The US military has learned enough lessons to concentrate all its efforts on the mass production of anti-aircraft artillery of various calibers. Each batch of anti-aircraft weapons produced will be immediately and prioritized for use by the coastal defense forces.
At the same time, the tanks of the US military did not stop. Although it failed to completely annihilate the Chinese Emperor ** who penetrated deep into Mexico, the US military successfully defeated Mexico and expelled the Chinese Emperor ** from Mexico, and the strategic goal of the US military has been achieved. ╔╗
Subsequently, the main force of more than 700,000 U.S. troops in Mexico retained 500,000 troops to continue to control Mexico. The new Mexican government army received more than 1.2 million Mexican troops captured by the U.S. army, changed it to the U.S. coercive army, and was sent to the Central and South American theater by the U.S. military command.
Since the Chinese emperor did not include these Central and South American countries in the battlefield at the beginning, the Imperial General Staff made a lot of plans, but it did not anticipate the sudden defeat and surrender of Mexico. ╔╗ So much so that there were no troops stationed in Central and South American countries at all, and even at the beginning, Costa Rica and other countries applied to send troops into Mexico to assist in the defense, but the Chinese Empire politely refused.
Similarly, for Central and South American countries such as Guatemala, Honduras, and Costa Rica, they could not afford huge armies and war funds, so when the Chinese emperor swore that the US military could not defeat their country, they were relieved. Therefore, when the U.S. military invaded on a large scale, the countries that had not been able to enter a state of war were quickly defeated and surrendered. In just one week, the U.S. military swept through Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua, all the way to Canoas on the border with Panama. ╔╗ Blocked by the defenders of the Chinese Empire in Panama.
Although Canoas was only garrisoned by the 115th Division of the Imperial Chinese Army. However, the speed of the US army's forward advance was too fast, the transportation of Central and South American countries was too backward, and the logistics of the US army could not keep up, so that the US army stopped advancing after an unsuccessful tentative attack on the Chinese emperor on the opposite side.
Taking advantage of the lack of a successor for the US military, the General Staff of the Chinese Empire quickly transferred six armored divisions and four mechanized infantry divisions originally transferred to Mexico to Panama.
By mid-June, the Chinese Imperial Brigade in Panama had reached eight armored divisions and six mechanized infantry divisions, as well as the Fifth Marine Division from the Pacific Fleet and the 19th Marine Brigade from the Caribbean Detachment of the Atlantic Fleet. ╔╗ The total number of troops reached 300,000.
At the same time, due to the long and narrow territory of Panama. The combat radius of the aircraft carrier battle groups of the Pacific Fleet and the Atlantic Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy is capable of covering the airspace over Panama in an all-round way, and even the range of the main guns of the battleships of the Imperial Chinese Navy is capable of covering half of the land area.
In the face of the powerful firepower configuration of the army, navy and air force of the Chinese Empire. MacArthur did not resort to a strong attack, but tried to stabilize the front, using the airfield in Costa Rica to be able to bring the combat radius of the US army's short- and medium-range tactical bombers directly to the Panama Canal. The real strategic purpose of the US military is to blockade the capacity of the Panama Canal and prevent the Chinese Empire's two oceanic fleets from echoing and supporting each other.
The Chinese Empire's miscalculation of the prediction on the battlefield in Mexico led to the temporary postponement of the "Typhoon Plan" for the war against the United States.
However, on the European battlefield, the Soviet Red Army, with a large amount of military assistance from the Chinese Empire and the direct help of the strategic air force, successfully held Stalingrad, and repelled 16 attacks by more than 2 million US-German troops in a month from 28 April to 29 May, and successfully carried out a major counteroffensive in the last US-German offensive, defeating the Harrison Army Group on the right front of the US-German Allied Army in one fell swoop, forcing the US-German Allied Army to abandon the attack on Stalingrad for fear of the safety of the flanks and rear flanks.
With the complete blockade of the sea and air lines of communication in the North Atlantic by the Imperial Chinese Navy, the material trade between the United States and Germany was cut off, and the Roosevelt administration was also faced with a full-scale attack by the Chinese Empire, no longer sending expeditionary forces to Europe, but instead making every effort to consolidate the territory of the American army in Central and North America to meet the all-out war offensive of the Chinese Empire.
In the European theater, the German army, which had been fighting for five years, gradually fell into the predicament of insufficient troops, and the perennial war caused a sharp decrease in the number of German men, especially the defeat in the first and second Moscow battles and the first and second battles of Stalingrad, which led to the loss of more than half of the German elite troops. Although the timely intervention of the American Expeditionary Force allowed the main German army to recuperate for more than three months, the weakness of the German population and the depletion of troops forced Hitler to take a strategic defensive.
The Soviet Red Army suffered heavy losses under the blows of the American and German allied forces, but the Soviet Union had an advantage in population over Germany, and the Soviet army was still able to organize nearly four million front-line troops after receiving military aid from the Chinese Empire, while the strength of the American and German allied forces dropped to less than 10 million, including the troops of Italy, Spain and other Allied countries, and only less than six million people were really combative.
It was the summer offensive of the Armenian Army on the Don-Caucasus line that really forced the US-German forces to abandon the attack on Stalingrad, with millions of Red Army in the Soviet Union, which was only a supporting role.
A week after the Chinese Empire declared war on the American and German allies, the Armenian Army, the most powerful ally of the Chinese Empire in the Caucasus, was the first to declare war on Germany, and mobilized the most elite First Panzer Army to launch a fierce attack on the Germans in the direction of the Don River.
