San Bernardino, a small town, has become a sea of American military uniforms. The residents of the small city have already been evacuated, and only the US troops are left in the city. The command of the US military on the west coast is located here. By Samuel? Lieutenant General Yang, commanding 500,000 U.S. troops, besieged the squadron that occupied Los Angeles. Now, the U.S. military no longer expects to drive the squadron into the sea, as long as they can besiege the squadron in Los Angeles, they are already thankful.

Although, the U.S. military has deployed half a million troops in the cities around Los Angeles and has also built strong defensive positions. But for resisting the attack of the squadron, the US military has no confidence. On the periphery of Los Angeles, the U.S. military also sent a large number of scouts. Therefore, after the squadron made a big move, the US military immediately knew the movement of the squadron.

San Bernardino, U.S. Army Command, Samuel? Lieutenant General Young's command inside. Just ate it in the morning, Samuel? Lieutenant General Yang came to the headquarters. What he hopes most now is that the negotiations between China and the United States can be successful, and then the squadron can be withdrawn from the West Coast of the United States. After the squadron landed on the west coast of the United States, he has been worried these days, for fear that the squadron will attack them again. Although he has the advantage of troops, he knows that with these recruits alone, he will not be able to resist the attack of the squadron at all. In the battle in Los Angeles, he has already witnessed the strong combat power of the squadron.

"General, the Chinese have made a big move. They attacked to the south and north, respectively! "Samir? Lieutenant General Yang's adjutant ran into the office. Report to him.

Samuel? Lieutenant General Yang's hand shook, and the coffee cup fell to the ground, shattering. But he didn't have the energy to care about it at the moment.

"How many troops did the Chinese dispatch, and where were their targets?" Samuel? Lieutenant General Yang asked anxiously.

"There are at least 100,000 Chinese attacking south. The Chinese attacking to the north are not less than 100,000! Preliminary judgment, their targets are Owen and Newhall! The adjutant replied.

"Oh God! 200,000 people! The Chinese actually mobilized 200,000 people. Send a telegram to General Davis and General Barth, asking them to prepare for defense! Also, let General Burton, General Charried, and General Collins come to me right away! "Samir? Lieutenant General Yang ordered. Half a million U.S. troops outside Los Angeles. It was divided into 8 armies, each with more than 60,000 men. Garrisoned by Owen was the 5th Army, commanded by Major General Davis. Garrisoned in Newhall was the 8th Army, commander Major General Barth.

"Yes, General!" The adjutant immediately went down to give the order. At the same time, do not forget to send this news to Secretary of War Russell? Alger made a presentation. The large-scale attack of the squadron immediately attracted the attention of the US government. They all know. This is China's countermeasure to the United States' tough stance in the negotiations. President Garrett? Hobart asked the U.S. troops on the west coast to resist the squadron's attack no matter what. Otherwise. Once the war situation is eroded, the United States will have no other way but to compromise diplomatically.

The road facilities in the United States are very good, which brings great convenience to the attack of the squadron. The main force of the Seventh Army, which was attacking south from Los Angeles, reached Owen on the afternoon of August 16. By this time, Owen had already fought fiercely. The warships of the Navy arrived here in the morning. Three heavy cruisers and five light cruisers, launched a heavy artillery bombardment of Owen. Albeit. The U.S. 5th Army stationed in Owen launched a stubborn counterattack, but this was of no use to the squadron. It wasn't until Owen was bombed into ruins that the Chinese Navy's warships flew away.

In the afternoon of the same day, four divisions of the Seventh Army, with the cooperation of the division's direct troops, launched a fierce attack on Owen. The U.S. 5th Army stationed at Owen was under shelling by the Chinese Navy. There have been heavy casualties. The fortifications were even more devastated, which greatly reduced the defense power of the US army.

The attack of the squadron began at three o'clock in the afternoon, but an hour later. The squadron broke through the outlying positions of the US 5th Army. Fierce street fighting ensued. At the level of street fighting, the US army is far behind the squadron. All fronts are losing ground one after another.

"General, the Chinese's attacks are too strong, we simply can't resist their attacks!" A brigadier division commander reported to the commander of the 5th Army, Major General Davis.

"Hold on a little longer, hold on until dark, and we'll be able to break through!" Maj. Gen. Davis demanded. He was already with Samuel of San Bernardino? Lieutenant General Yang has been contacted. Samuel? Lieutenant General Yang had agreed that if he could not hold Owen, he could retreat to Corona. It's just that Major General Davis thinks it's not a good idea to break through now. Under the monitoring of the squadron's observation balloon, every move of the US military was exposed in front of the squadron, and if they retreat now, they will definitely be intercepted by the squadron and then all wiped out.

However, will Owen's U.S. military still be able to hold out until dark? This is clearly a no. By 5 p.m., U.S. forces had been pinned down to an area of less than two square kilometers. More than 300 heavy guns of the Seventh Army, as well as naval guns, bombarded the area devastationly, and the Americans suffered heavy casualties. Finally, at 5:40 p.m., Lieutenant General Davis ordered the remaining 20,000 troops of the US 5th Army to surrender to the squadron.

After taking Owen, the main force of the Seventh Army rested in Owen for a night, but the 23rd Infantry Division advanced east overnight, posing a threat to the American 4th Army in Corona.

By the time the Seventh Army took Owen, three infantry divisions drawn from the Seventh Army and two infantry divisions drawn from the Sixth Army had already taken Santa Creta yesterday, and then the three infantry divisions of the Seventh Army continued northward to threaten the US Eighth Army in Newhall, and the two infantry divisions of the Sixth Army crossed the San Antonio Hill along the road, and finally blocked the retreat of the American army. At this time, the main attention of the US army was on the three infantry divisions in the north and the main force of the Seventh Army attacking Owen, and no one paid attention to the two infantry divisions of the Sixth Army.

Owen's rapid fall once again caused the U.S. military to panic. Samuel? After Lieutenant General Yang learned that the squadron had begun to march towards Corona, he gave the order to defend Corona. The 4th Army of Corona was ordered to hold Corona and at the same time the 3rd Army was drawn from San Bernardino to reinforce Corona. The intention is to resist the offensive footsteps of the squadron in Corona.

Only, Samuel? Lieutenant General Yang still overestimated the speed of the U.S. army's march. From Owen to Corona, it's almost a distance of thirty-six kilometers. It's almost the same distance from San Bernardino to Corona.

On the evening of August 17, the main force of the Seventh Army of the Chinese Army had arrived in Corona. The 23rd Infantry Division, which was the vanguard, arrived here in the afternoon. The 3rd Army of the U.S. Army is only halfway there. This made Corona's US 4th Army have to independently deal with the main force of the Chinese Army's Seventh Army.

At the same time, the main forces of the Sixth Army of the Chinese Army had already set out from Los Angeles and were coming straight to San Bernardino along the San Antonio Hills. This suddenly gave Samir? Lieutenant General Yang caused great pressure. After the 3rd Army had been dispatched, San Bernardino only had two corps and some direct troops left, and he did not think that these troops could withstand the attack of the elite 100,000 Chinese army.

Samuel? Lieutenant General Yang immediately ordered the 8th and 7th Armies of the U.S. Army in Newhall and Palmdale in the north to resist the attack of the squadron heading north in Los Angeles, and to hold off the squadron all the way no matter what. Victorville's 6th Army went all out to support San Bernardino. Samuel? Lieutenant General Yang didn't know at all that the squadron going north only had three infantry divisions. After the U.S. ** team began to move, the three infantry divisions immediately entered a defensive state. The remaining two infantry divisions, having successfully crossed the San Antonio Mountains, are rapidly moving south, and are expected to be able to capture Cajon by August 19 at the latest, blocking the way for the American retreat to the east.

On August 18, the main force of the Seventh Army launched an offensive against Corona, and the defense of the US 4th Army was very tenacious. Although the Seventh Army hit more than 300 heavy artillery pieces of 105 mm caliber and launched a fierce bombardment of Corona, the US 4th Army launched a-for-tat counterattack. It's just that the artillery of the 4th Army of the US Army is at an absolute disadvantage, and in less than two hours of artillery battle, all the artillery has already suffered heavy losses.

After that, the main four infantry divisions of the Seventh Army launched a fierce attack on Corona. In the street fighting, the US 4th Army could not resist the attack of the squadron at all. By the afternoon, half of Corona had fallen.

Subsequently, Major General Dalsey of the 4th Army of the US Army knew that reinforcements from the 3rd Army would not arrive for a long time, and with the strength of the 4th Army of the US Army, he could not hold Corona. Therefore, at 3 p.m., he ordered to abandon Corona and retreat eastward with the remnants of more than 30,000 men. The squadron ** team pursued relentlessly, obviously not letting these tens of thousands of American troops escape.

Five kilometers east of Corona, the 3rd Army of the US Army was on its way.

At 4 p.m., the remnants of the U.S. 4th Army converged with the U.S. 3rd Army. However, these American troops, not only did not find a way to resist the attack of the squadron on the spot, but immediately retreated after learning that Corona had lost. And in the pursuit of the squadron, this retreat finally turned into a rout!
