Chicago was just one of the battlefields where China took the initiative to attack the United States.

From the very beginning, the more than 1.1 million Western Route Army of the Chinese North American Army directly crossed the Columbia River, captured Portland, and quickly moved south along the Coast Mountains, swept through Ohio, advanced all the way to California, forced to San Francisco, all the way to the interior of the desolate west, which was empty in defense, swept Idaho, attacked Utah, and forced Salt Lake City.

When Chinese bombers and paratroopers destroyed or directly occupied some key stations of the Pacific Railroad in the Rocky Mountains, it became more difficult for the Americans to rescue the west.

The 1.4 million Central Route Army of the Chinese North American Army advanced southward step by step along the vast area between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River, and the 2.6 million Eastern Route Army of the Chinese North American Army was in the heart of American industry near the Great Lakes.

With the final expulsion of Chinese forces in Canada and Alaskie, U.S. forces had to withdraw to the U.S. mainland with the help of the Pacific Navy. The 500,000 troops withdrawn one after another, together with the more than 100,000 marines remaining in the west, have almost become important pillars of the western defense line, and most of the 600,000 troops gathered in other parts of the west can only be regarded as second-rate troops and militia troops.

Originally, the United States relied on the Pacific Navy on the West Coast, not on the rapidly expanding Army. Most of the troops withdrawn from Europe were concentrated in the east. Even after the defeat of the Northern Frontier Campaign, most of the troops withdrawn remained in the east and center, and even some went to the southern border to defend against the Mexicans and to crush Latin America.

When the Chinese army in western North America forced San Francisco, the retreating western army of the United States had no choice but to set up a formation of 600,000 troops outside San Francisco, trying to take advantage of California's favorable conditions to fight to the death.

When the Chinese army moved south, they had already blocked it three times, but apart from dropping more than 200,000 casualties, they did not succeed once.

The Apocalypse Tank and Mammoth Tank also appeared in the western wilderness, leading herds of second-class rhinos and grizzly bears all the way to Mowgli. In addition to the blocking restrictions of geographical conditions. There is no enemy to fight at all.

Most of the heavy weapons of the main forces of the US army that retreated to the west were lost, and compared with the east, the west, which was less industrially weak, did not have much opportunity to replenish armored tanks. The Midwest of the United States is the region with the highest concentration of sub-base forces, and the weak armored forces in the west are vulnerable to the latest Chinese tanks constantly emerging from the bases.

China's MiG-21, J-6, and F-5 Tiger fighters also strangled the joint efforts of the US Air Force and the Army and Navy in succession, engaged in 32 slightly large-scale air battles in the western theater in January, shot down more than 2,300 US fighters of various types, including more than half of the pistons, at the cost of 167 self-losses, and gradually controlled the western sky.

The reason why the Americans, who felt helpless, put the main battlefield in the west in San Francisco. In addition to the nearby support of industrial forces near San Francisco, there are also plans to use the power of naval guns and naval forces, as for Salt Lake City, which is too far inland, the US military has only 200,000 troops, ready to give up field resistance and directly fight street battles.

This time. The Chicago urban war was in full swing, and the Americans saw the restrictions of urban warfare on the superior weapons of the Chinese people, and they introduced a series of urban warfare plans one after another, desperately trying to destroy some cities and hold back the Chinese. Even San Francisco is ready for urban warfare.

Although Huaxia also wants to use urban warfare to set up human flesh grinding plates, if they continue to attack one by one, Huaxia will inevitably suffer heavy losses and delay time.

This is also one of the reasons why Meng Xiang directly sacrificed the air trial of the Kirov airship. It is to make an example of a hundred.

When Chicago was bombarded with cloudburst bombs into hell. Street fighting in Salt Lake City has come to an end.

The energy of the US Western Army was not put here at all, and Washington's eyes were also attracted by Chicago. The 200,000 cobbled together American troops were beaten to the ground by the 300,000 Chinese army that poured into Salt Lake City, and by the time they understood the experience of urban warfare told by the few Russian advisers, death had already befallen them.

In just 10 days, the last resistance in Salt Lake City collapsed after hearing the bombing of the Chicago airship, and the remaining 110,000 troops surrendered en masse.

And at this time, San Francisco, which was still preparing for street fighting, also collapsed.

Although the defensive front set up outside San Francisco was at a disadvantage, with the assistance of about 200,000 marines and the main fleet of the Pacific Navy, it could barely block the initial onslaught of the 500,000 Chinese army.

But the Navy's assistance did not last long, as the large fleet of the Chinese directly sent to the west coast of the United States.

"They're coming so fast!" Nimitz, who was reinstated by Truman and assumed the responsibility of commander of the Pacific Navy, could not help but be shocked to hear this.

Although he had already expected the Huaxia Fleet to cross the Pacific Ocean, he did not expect the Huaxia Fleet to come so quickly and so suddenly.

After the loss of the Philippines, the U.S. Pacific Navy retreated to the Northern Mariana and Marshalls, taking advantage of the experience of its ships to swim in the vast sea area to block China, but the blockade of the Hawaiian Islands was broken.

The weapon of anti-ship missiles changed the rules of the game in the war at sea, and even the destroyers escorting the ships were able to take on cruisers or even battleships alone. If it weren't for the Americans' frantic modification and construction of a large number of light aircraft carriers to regain their disadvantage in the air, I am afraid that the entire Pacific Ocean would have been controlled by the Chinese.

However, under the pressure of the Chinese navy, the Americans' control over the Pacific Ocean became weaker and weaker, and they were powerless to block China's sea lanes to Alaska and Canada through Japan and the Far East. Under the pressure of the Huaxia aircraft carrier group operating in the North Pacific, it is difficult to even gather intelligence in the vicinity.

At least this large Chinese fleet came to the waters near San Francisco, which the Americans did not know before.

"Preliminary reconnaissance, their strength is very strong, but this is our ocean, for our homeland, for our honor, we will not hesitate to fight!" But Nimitz still decided to take advantage of the unstable foothold of this Chinese fleet to fight a counterattack.

As long as it wasn't a terrifying monster of the Huaxia, Nimitz was confident of fighting.

In order to counterbalance Huaxia's missiles, this time the Americans concentrated 13 light aircraft carriers on the west coast and 2 newly commissioned Essex-class main aircraft carriers, in an attempt to use the superiority of air strikes to deal with the Huaxia fleet.

But they didn't know that there were 6 main aircraft carriers in this Chinese fleet.

The aircraft carrier produced by Huaxia in imitation of the Kitty Hawk class withstood the test of the Pacific Ocean on its maiden voyage, and as the flagship, it led the Huaxia fleet along part of the distance that its ancestors had traveled to San Francisco.

The two unfinished super-sized His-class warships that were snatched from Japan have also been completed with the continued investment of Huaxia, one converted into an aircraft carrier, and the other into a missile battleship, and this time they sailed together to the United States.

There are also 4 Red Alert aircraft carriers, all of which have been upgraded to Level 3, all of which are similar to Kitty Hawk class existences.

The number of carrier-based fighters dominated by F-4 Phantoms and F-8 Crusaders is no less than that of the US Navy, and its performance is even stronger than that of the F-1 modified by the American Sabre fighter.

In addition, the sea area of the engagement has been covered by the satellite and radar stations of the sub-bases, and there is no suspense in the entire process of the engagement.

Nimitz, who was still directing the naval artillery attack on land at the Almeida naval base, did not expect the naval battle to end so quickly.

In less than two days, after more than 200 fighters were shot down, the air was controlled by Huaxia HNA.

Although the US aircraft carrier, which was constantly moving around, was not locked by the Huaxia ballistic missiles, it could not escape the fate of the missile and torpedo attacks carried by the attack planes.

Huaxia's carrier-based attack aircraft have gradually eliminated the A-1, the last piston samurai, and even the hybrid A-2 Savage has not been adopted.

Although the A-3, the heaviest attack aircraft in the United States in the 50s, was the first generation of American jet attack aircraft, because the huge body of this air warrior of 37 tons was somewhat bulky and backward in performance, only a few were experimentally arranged on the Huaxia aircraft carrier. The main force of the Huaxia attack aircraft is still the A-4 Skyhawk and A-6 Intruder.

The Harpoon missiles carried by the A-6Es sank five light aircraft carriers in a row, severely damaging one Essex-class aircraft carrier. Coupled with the three light aircraft carriers that the A-4 Skyhawks and other fighters successfully attacked, in the end, the U.S. aircraft carrier fleet did not run under the extreme speed attack of jet fighters, and the rest finally put up a white flag. And the main battleship of Huaxia was not injured at all.

The gap between the strength of Huaxia HNA and the Americans is getting wider and wider, and the Americans are desperate.

Faced with the Chinese fleet coming straight to San Francisco, the shocked Americans had to order the remaining warships to evacuate San Francisco and go south to Los Angeles.

Without naval support, San Francisco's army was in a difficult situation and could only prepare for both, according to Washington's instructions.

But when the huge figure of a dozen Kirov airships appeared in San Francisco, nothing was prepared, and the San Francisco defense line collapsed. Half of the remaining 400,000-odd troops in the defense broke up and fled south under the onslaught of Huaxia, and half became prisoners of Huaxia.

San Francisco planted a five-star red flag.

As the Huaxia fleet pursued southward with the Huaxia army, the Kirov airship also followed, and white flags were erected one by one in American cities wherever they went.

The U.S. army resisted again outside Los Angeles for three days, and after leaving behind nearly 100,000 casualties and prisoners, it continued to break south.

But a piece of news came that cut off their escape to the south: the Chinese army had landed near the Mexican-American border and had captured the city of San Diego. (To be continued......)
