Oxnard, fifty kilometers south of Santa Barbara, is home to the headquarters of the 54th Infantry Division of the U.S. Army. Early in the morning, the division commander, Brigadier General Donald, was still sleeping with his head covered. However, he was awakened by a sharp knock on the door.

"What the hell? What happened? "Brigadier General Donald looked at his watch, and it was only 6:40 in the morning.

"What's wrong? Did the Chinese call? Brigadier General Donald put on his clothes, opened the door, saw the frightened adjutant on his face, and asked. The 54th Infantry Division has three infantry regiments and troops directly under the division, and the whole division is only more than 8,000 people, but the defense line is more than 100 kilometers. Fortunately, the 54th Infantry Division believed that the place where they were stationed would not be the focus of the Chinese attack. Therefore, the defense during this period was also somewhat lax.

"Your Excellency, the Chinese are calling, they have landed in Santa Barbara!" The adjutant hurriedly said.

"Oh God! What are you kidding? How could the Chinese choose to land in Santa Barbara? Brigadier General Donald's face was full of disbelief.

"It's true, Your Excellency. The defenders of Santa Barbara are no longer reachable. They must have been attacked fiercely! The adjutant said with great certainty.

"Hell, how could this happen! Give Samuel right away? General Yang sent a report to him that we had been attacked by the Chinese. In addition, order the 1st and 2nd regiments to gather at Oxnard at once and prepare to defend against the attack of the Chinese! Brigadier General Donald ordered.

"Commander, don't we need reinforcements in Santa Barbara?" The adjutant asked.

"Reinforcements to Santa Barbara? How many of us are there? Go to Santa Barbara, only look for death! Brigadier General Donald said. There is no doubt that he believes that Santa Barbara will not be able to withstand the attack of the Chinese. His 54th Infantry Division. Even if you fill it all in. There is only one dead end. Rather than this, it is better to stick to Oxnard and wait for orders from his superiors.

"Yes, Commander!" The adjutant immediately went to deliver the order, and the whole of Oxnard was jumping with chickens and dogs. Many American soldiers panicked when they heard that the Chinese army had chosen to land in Santa Barbara. There are even some people who are ready to run away secretly. The squadron's constant victories on the battlefield. In the minds of these American soldiers, the squadron has become synonymous with the devil who harvests life, let them fight with the squadron, isn't this sending them to death?

Los Angeles, one of the key defense areas of the U.S. Army, where the U.S. Army deployed 100,000 troops. Lieutenant General Yang. Of these, the rest of the troops, except for two divisions, were deployed to the nearby coastline of Los Angeles. All gathered in Los Angeles. The U.S. Army also takes Los Angeles as a big city. It was regarded as the primary goal of the landing of the squadron. It's just that the landing of the squadron this time was obviously out of their expectations.

When Samuel? When Lieutenant General Yang received the news of the squadron's landing in Santa Barbara, he was enjoying a delicious breakfast. However, as soon as he heard that the squadron had landed, he immediately did not have any appetite.

"Someone, order the 52nd Infantry Division and the 53rd Infantry Division to reinforce Oxnard at once. Report to His Excellency the Minister of War the news of the landing of the Chinese! "Samuel? Lieutenant General Yang ordered. On the one hand, he sent troops to reinforce Oxnard, and on the other hand, he sent troops to Russell? Alger asks for help. He knew that after the squadron landed in Santa Barbara, it would definitely launch an attack on Los Angeles. With this little army in his hands, he will definitely not be able to resist the attack launched by the powerful squadron from both land and sea directions.

It's just that the U.S. Army, which has not fought a major battle for a long time, really doesn't dare to compliment its efficiency. Samuel? After Lieutenant General Young gave the order, it was not until 9 a.m. that two infantry divisions set out from Los Angeles for Oxnard. By this time, Santa Barbara had already been taken by the Chinese Marines.

U.S. Secretary of War Russell? Alger has been in the office for the last few days, even in the evenings. Calculating the time, the squadron's landing operation on the west coast of the United States has only been in the past few days, and he does not dare to relax in the slightest. As for whether he can beat the middle ** team, Russell? Alger has no bottom in his heart. Although the squadron put a maximum of two army groups in the United States, less than 400,000 people. But Russell? Alger determined that the combat effectiveness of these 400,000 squadrons is enough to surpass the US army of more than one million.

"Your Excellency! The Chinese appeared. At half past six this morning, they launched an attack on Santa Barbara! "At 7:10 a.m., Secretary of War Russell? Alger received the news forty minutes after the squadron launched the landing operation.

"Santa Barbara? How could the Chinese choose there? Damn, there is only one regiment there, and it will not be able to stop the landing of the Chinese at all! Order the defenders of San Francisco and San Diego to draw strong forces to Los Angeles

Muir? Lieutenant General Yang commanded that he must resist the attack of the Chinese. If possible, drive all the Chinese into the sea to feed the fish! "Secretary of War Russell? Alger ordered.

"Yes, Your Excellency!" His secretary replied.

"Also, prepare a car for me to go to the White House, I want to see His Excellency the President!" Russell? Alger said.

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you right away!" The secretary said.

The White House, President Garrett, who has just woken up? Hobart was having breakfast. However, then the secretary sued him, Secretary of War Russell? Alger asks to be seen. Garrett? Hobart asked the secretary to take Russell? Alger took him to the office, and he sped up on breakfast. Because he knows, after seeing Russell? Alger, most likely, he has no appetite. He's already guessed, Russell? Alger will certainly not bring him any good news when he comes to see him at this time.

7:40 a.m., Garrett? President Hobart showed up in his office.

"Your Excellency, what is going on? Did the Chinese land? "Garrett? The President of Hobart asked.

"Yes, Your Excellency. The Chinese launched a landing operation at half past six this morning. It's just that the landing site they chose was Santa Barbara, 130 kilometers north of Los Angeles, not the big city on the West Coast that we had expected! "Russell? Alger said.

"Santa Barbara? That is, we can't stop the Chinese from landing on American soil, can we? "Garrett? The President of Hobart asked.

"Yes, Your Excellency! Santa Barbara was only one regiment in size. It is likely that the Chinese have already landed successfully by now! "Secretary of War Russell? Alger said.

"So, tell me about your plan, what do we do now?" Garrett? The President of Hobart asked.

"Your Excellency President, since the landing of the Chinese is no longer unstoppable, we can only find a way to hold the Chinese back on the west coast. Of course, if possible, it is better to drive the Chinese into the sea. It's just that the Chinese have strong naval support, and we can't deal a powerful blow to them in the coastal areas! "Secretary of War Russell? Alger said.

Garrett? President Hobart nodded.

"The specific plan is that I am going to draw 400,000 troops from the 600,000 troops deployed on the west coast to attack the Chinese from the north, east and south, and strive to be able to control the battle around Los Angeles." In addition, from the 400,000 troops in the eastern region, I also plan to draw 200,000 troops to join the battlefield. After all, the squadron is well-trained, and we are not comparable to the Chinese, whether it is in individual soldiers or in weapons and equipment. As more and more squadrons land, so does the pressure on us. At the same time, the conscription program cannot be stopped yet, we need more troops. No one can guarantee how long this war will last, we must be completely prepared! "Russell? Alger said.

"There is a very important point, Your Excellency, that I believe is of concern not only to me, but to all Americans. If the army cannot defeat the Chinese, it cannot drive them into the sea. So, can the Chinese be blocked west of the Rocky Mountains to prevent the war from spreading to the hinterland of the United States, or even the east! "Garrett? The President of Hobart asked. At this time, although the West Coast of the United States had begun to develop, it was still far from being as prosperous as the East Coast. The East Coast is the most important region in the United States.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured. The Chinese want to cross the Pacific Ocean to expedition us, and their logistical pressure is very great. On the West Coast, supplies could be transported by sea, but not if they wanted to cross the tall Rocky Mountains. Therefore, even if we are no match for the Chinese on the West Coast, it is perfectly fine to block them west of the Rocky Mountains! "Russell? Alger replied in the affirmative.

"Okay, I see, you can do it!" Garrett? President Hobart said with satisfaction. Of course, the flames of war are burning on American soil, which is a huge disaster for the United States, and it must find a way to end the war. At the same time as the military action was unfolding, the United States also began diplomatic efforts. It's just that China's asking price is too high, which makes it a little difficult for the United States to bear.

The landing of the squadron in Santa Barbara was very smooth. The troops of the 3rd Regiment of the 54th Infantry Division of the US Army stationed here could not resist the attack of the squadron at all. In less than half an hour from the first landing craft washed up on the beach, the American army collapsed, and more than 500 of the remaining soldiers of the 3rd Regiment of the 54th Infantry Division were captured, and the rest were all killed, and Santa Barbara fell into the hands of the squadron.
