Zhong Yi's wish to charge into battle has been impossible to achieve since he became the Emperor of Han! Even trying to drive the new "Tiger" overhauled tank in the big school yard has become a luxury.

Let the Han Emperor get into a tank with a small and cramped interior? The new captain of the Royal Guard, Colonel Xiao Yu, thinks he is not crazy. After the bombing of the imperial capital airport, the position of captain of the royal guard has become a kind of honor, and even in the Guards Corps, it is a god-like existence.

In the words of Marshal Lin of the country, that is Yang Jian, Wei Chigong, and Shaolin Eighteen Stick Monks. General Wang Wenyi's death in the line of duty once again ignited the "supreme commander complex" in the hearts of the Red Guard soldiers among the soldiers of all arms from the base.

If it is said that the declaration of "Zhongxing Road, the dream of a great country" makes all Han people excited; In the hearts of the Red Police soldiers, loyalty to the Supreme Commander has accompanied them throughout their lives.

This is actually Zhong Yi's most reliable "golden finger" and the most stable "arrogant" force.

No matter what the battle, the most trustworthy will always be the Red Guard soldiers, and the Guards will always be the Guards. The first batch of the 3rd Guards Panzer Corps, which was equipped with a major modification of the "Tiger" tank, was a "gift" prepared by His Majesty for the Americans.

"The Iron Knights are all over the world, only I am the Great Khan Guard!"

After receiving His Majesty's imperial gift from His Majesty, Commander Ji Youqian boarded a ship and headed for the front line in the Americas. Shouldering the heavy responsibility of the Han Iron Cavalry to exalt the prestige of the exotic land, with the great trust of His Majesty, Lieutenant General Qian didn't care about the false name such as the commander-in-chief of the Shenma, he kept in mind that in the Weiqing Pavilion and in front of the blood-colored five-clawed golden dragon flag, His Majesty said "Self Han, there is no iron horse".

Perhaps, the commander of the third army did not understand, but His Majesty meant that after the end of the all-out war, the world would enter a new era. Tanks, the current king of land warfare, will no longer be the protagonist of war.

Ji Youqian has his own understanding of His Majesty's words, "To sweep away all opponents in this world, the name of the Iron Cavalry can only and must be the exclusive title of the Han Armored Army." "Such a glory began with the 3rd Guards Panzer Corps, and the third commander felt extremely honored.

"Fight like General Wang Wenyi!" This is a slogan that the soldiers of the Guards must shout every day on the cabin and deck of the Yanhuang Ship on the march across the ocean to North America.

Nearly 3,000 new tanks joined the battlefield in the mountains of Nevada, which gave Marshal Ye Weixun, commander-in-chief of the Allied forces on the Western Front, much more confidence.

One of the most important principles of mountain warfare is to concentrate forces and make breakthroughs in key areas. After the landing of the 3rd Guards Panzer Corps, Ye Shuai did not hesitate to send them all to the northern Lasen Peak and Carneson City area. "Crush, repel, cripple, and instigate those dogs."

In the midst of a group of bearded Guards generals, Ye Shuai, who was like a teacher, was able to say such foul language, which showed his hatred for the 13th Armored Division of the US Army.

At a time when the Allied forces on the southern front were blocked and the time was not yet ripe for the Allied cross-ocean landing operations on the eastern front, the Allies urgently needed to break through the American defense line on the western front in order to break the inland defensive circle carefully arranged by the Americans. However, the appearance of Pershing's heavy tanks forced the Allied forces to pay a heavy price for the formation of the "South to Attack the North" offensive, which was a humiliating setback for Ye Shuai, who had won all battles in his military career, whether in the Iron Army or in the New Fourth Army, whether it was the anti-Japanese battlefield or the Siberian counteroffensive. Even the record of the Han army's formed armored units being wiped out fell on Ye Weixun, which of course was not tolerated by the arrogant Ye Shuai.

"Grab the 13th Armored Division of the U.S. Army, cripple it, and instigate it!" The same sentiment was even more pronounced in Zhang Houqun, the commander of the Allied Mountain Cluster.

"Huh!" Seeing Lieutenant General Zhang waving his fists to vent his frustration, the third commander smiled, "Lao Zhang, the tactics arranged for you to come, engage in those dogs, I'll come!" ”

In May 1944, the Nevada Mountains were covered by melting snow and ice, and the mountains became more turbulent and the deciduous forests of the northern temperate zone grew green leaves, making the already beautiful Sierra Nevada even more lush.

In the face of nature's vitality, the actions of the Allies seem to be somewhat incomprehensible. The roars of the Han army officers shouted from time to time "Kill those dogs", like the remnants of ink in this picturesque beauty, and like the "shouting among the flowers" and "fire under the moon".

It's just that only when the country is rich can the people be strong, and the country is strong before and after the moon. In the Han Empire under the policy of the first army, most of the time a soldier would be considered masculine when he took a little foul language, even His Majesty, if it weren't for the restrictions of Qin Yingxue and Wu Jiayi's cold eyes and tenderness, wouldn't he often be rude?

What is Aristocrat? Aristocrats are not self-proclaimed elegance or scum, aristocrats are those who dare to be the first in the world, dare to pay for the nation and the country, and can stand up in times of crisis.

Loyalty may not serve the country, and being cheap can also be a hero!

The great Han of this era does not need too many celebrities and scholars, and does not need the so-called Confucian benevolence. The rise of a great power requires loyalty, iron, dedication and sacrifice.

At the beginning of May, the Allies accelerated the movement of troops. In the area of the highway that crosses the northern Sierra Nevada, known as the lifeline of the western United States, the Allies amassed nearly 300,000 troops of the Liangzhou Army and the 1st Army of the Western Regions. Among them, the main soldiers of the 1st Army Corps in the Western Regions were all from Vietnam. Don't underestimate these black, thin and short "monkeys", the Vietnamese were definitely the strongest opponents the imperial army had encountered during the years of imperial conquest of the Asia-Pacific region.

It is not because they are strong that they are strong, but because they are good at guerrilla warfare and jungle warfare, and they are good at sneaking up and striking the enemy in a harsh environment. And the Vietnamese are strong-willed, and even in times of hardship, they rarely give in.

After the empire pacified the Indochina Peninsula and Ink entered Luang Prabang and became the governor of the Western Regions, the Western Regions Army was soon formed, and the soldiers of the first two legions were mainly Vietnamese. That ghost place full of "monkeys", and the "more monkeys" are better at fighting, which is recognized in the imperial army. It is precisely for this reason that ink has earned the nickname "Monkey King". At every executive meeting where the Empire's dignitaries gathered, the Water Governor would be so angry that he would blush, and it was basically a routine routine.

In fact, in Zhong Yi's heart, there is also a superstitious mentality of "the monkey is more than the Yankees" and is not known, but at the insistence of His Majesty, in the North American War, a large number of the Western Regions Army, which was dominated by Vietnamese, was used, and it was not the Nanyang Army and the Dongying Army, which were the first to be included in the imperial army sequence, but it was an indisputable fact.

On the US side, Washington's top command organs, including the White House, are not willing to be passively beaten on their own soil. In the eyes of the U.S. military, the Nevada Line is a decisive battle. victory, then the Allies will be blocked in the coastal area west of the Sierra Nevada, and over time, the American army will be able to wait for the opportunity for a major counteroffensive; Defeat, just let the Allied forces go straight in, all the way to the middle of the United States, the US army will be in no danger to defend.

Truman demanded that General Omar Nelson Bradley, the Army's chief of staff who succeeded Marshall, make a counterattack plan to push the Allies back west of the Sierra Nevada.

"The Great Basin is an important crop producing area for us, and if it falls into the hands of the Allies, then their Yanhuang Wheel will no longer have to transport grain from South China, because the five million Allied troops can rely on the farms of the Great Basin to be self-sufficient. Gentlemen, I cannot tolerate the food that God has given us Americans to feed those American invaders, so we will fight back and beat them back to the shoreline, even ...... Eradicated in the coastal strip. I am convinced that there is no country that can stage a super-retreat except for us British and Americans, except for Dunkirk, except for Casablanca......"

Ice...... It was only after Truman's impassioned speech, and after everyone bowed their heads in frustration at the president's idiotic behavior, that he reacted: the two examples he gave were that England had surrendered, and that England and Scotland had joined the Grand League after the separation; And another example...... Dwight D. Eisenhower, the commander of the Casablanca multinational force's retreat across the ocean, has announced that he has joined the Workers' Party of America, becoming the party's deputy chairman/seat and deputy commander-in-chief of the armed forces. In other words, the Allies were only a group of aggressors, and the Workers' Party armed forces were the real enemies who could replace the ruling class of the United States.

What's more, no one at this time would have believed that the US military could drive the Allies back to the west of the Sierra Nevada, let alone say something "wiped out on the coastline!" ”

Yes, in the history of war, the two most famous retreats were directed by the British and the Americans, but the question is, can the Han army afford that thrilling retreat? Do people have such embarrassing times? Even Bradley, the chief of the General Staff, frowned, and it was clear that the task entrusted to him by the president was simply an almost impossible task.

The victory achieved by Carnathan in the US military in the previous stage made the politicians in the White House once again deceive themselves with the conviction that "God bless the United States, the freedom-loving American people will definitely defeat the evil fascist army!" ”

But Bradley was very sober that the US army did not have the strength to completely defeat the Allies. Because the Allied forces are not only the five million that have landed, in Britain, in the Azov Islands, Jiang Yunzhi commanded the Allied European cluster has long been on the east coast of the United States, and in the big alliance, which has more than 100 members, it is easy for the Han Emperor to mobilize millions more troops. Don't forget, there is also a populous Xinhua that did not send troops to the war at all.

Using defensive warfare to slow down the Allied offensive and waiting for the emergence of the "ultimate doomsday weapon" should be the most likely and reliable strategy of the United States at present.

Raising his eyes to look at the already sweating president, Admiral Bradley shrugged his shoulders, "I'm afraid the president is just showing an attitude to others, and in his heart, he has already pinned all his hopes on the 'Manhattan Project'." ”

After all, the "Manhattan Project" is still a top-secret program, and even among the dozen or so people in the White House presidential office, no more than three know about the existence of the "Manhattan Project." The president must show a firm determination to resist at this time, otherwise, even if the doomsday weapon is born and the United States wins the war after paying a terrible price, the president who loses the support of the people will not be able to win the next election.

The United States of America was not the Han Empire. The Han Emperor can go the long way, but the President of the United States must make achievements during his tenure, at least to please the electorate...... Well, the consortium behind it.

Bradley understands very well, even if he didn't understand it before, after a few letters of persuasion secretly forwarded by his old classmate Eisenhower, he has a deeper understanding of American politics.

But seeing through is not the same as betrayal, the Han people have an old saying, "the son does not think the mother is ugly, the dog does not think the family is poor", even if the politics of the United States are dirty, this United States is their motherland after all.

"I am for loyalty, you are for ideals, maybe one day we will meet on the battlefield, it will be God's arrangement." Bradley's reply to Eisenhower, this is the only sentence.

"Highway Guards", a new operational plan was quickly drawn up at the US Army Joint Staff Meeting. The core word of this plan was "counterattack", taking advantage of the relatively quiet period of the Allies after the First Battle of Callison, to concentrate on launching a large-scale counterattack against the Allied forces in the highway area of the northern Sierra Nevada and regaining the initiative on the Western Front. As for whether the ultimate goal would be to push the Allies out of the Nevada Line, to push them back to the coast, or even to force the Allies to stage a "San Francisco Retreat," the Chief of the General Staff, Admiral Bradley, did not give clear instructions in the plan.

The U.S. 12th Army Group, the 3rd Army Group, and six Canadian divisions, totaling 32 divisions, quickly assembled in Austin, Nevada.

The Allies did not pay enough attention to the build-up of American troops in early May. In his report to the Han Emperor on the situation of the Western Front, Ye Shuai said optimistically: "Although our army has not made great progress, the American troops on all fronts can only be tired of defending, and they are not capable of launching large-scale counterattacks or offensive battles. ”

The ensuing course of the war proved that Ye Weixun, the "god of a hundred battles", underestimated the determination of the Americans. However, when the "Manhattan Project" was in the most secrecy stage on both the US military and the Han side, Ye Shuai made an erroneous judgment.

Less than 100 kilometers apart, the armies of both sides are moving according to their own strategic arrangements, and they are all preparing for the next stage of the offensive.

The second battle of Carneson City was destined to be a spear-to-spear battle.

MacArthur disagreed, and was even deeply worried about the "Highway Guard Program." Although he did not know about the existence of the "Manhattan Project," judging from the overall situation of the war, the US military during this period was not suitable for launching an "all-or-nothing" offensive. Prolonging the war will definitely benefit the U.S. military, which is fighting on its own soil. It is good to fight a decisive battle against the Allied forces when they are in full swing, but it is ...... In the event of defeat, the US army will lose the elite troops that support the defensive ring, and at that time, who else will be able to stop the rolling of the tracks of the Allied armored forces?

However, when Bradley arrived in Salt Lake City to bring with him the detailed battle plan for the "Highway Guards" signed by the president, MacArthur learned that he had been removed from his post as commander-in-chief of the Western Theater and that his West Point junior, General Mark Weiner Clark, had been ordered to take his place.

Well, the next victory or defeat of the Nevada Line is none of his business. MacArthur stared at Truman's autograph, gritted his teeth, and spat out a few words, "/Son raised!" ”

Bradley knew a thing or two about MacArthur's feud with the president. As a soldier, he also did not approve of the removal of MacArthur, who had single-handedly planned the strategy of the inland defense line, but the president was the supreme commander of the US military, and he could not help MacArthur's anger.

In fact, in another parallel time and space, MacArthur was succeeded by Clark as his joint **** commander-in-chief after the Korean War was unfavorable. History is like a/son, after being unrecognizable, it will always inadvertently show her innocence and innocence.

This time, Clark didn't have the chance to fight General Peng Da, who led him to retire directly after the Korean War, so will his "five-star dream shattered" have a turnaround?

On May 10, 1944, the Second Battle of Carneson City was spearheaded by U.S. artillery. At dawn, the 6,000 artillery pieces of the American army, after fierce artillery preparations, divided into three lines and launched a surprise attack on the Allied positions at Lassen Peak, Reno and Carneson City: on the left flank was the American 3rd Army under the command of Lieutenant General Devers; On the right flank was the U.S. 8th Army and three Canadian divisions under the command of Lieutenant General Kruger; In the middle lane, Admiral Clark personally commanded the U.S. 12th Army and concentrated most of the M26 Pershing heavy tank units in the U.S. and Canadian coalition forces, intending to defeat the Allies again at Reno, and with the armored forces as the vanguard, along the highway, piercing the Allied positions, and approaching Sacramento and even San Francisco!

"Three thousand years ago, the same ancestor? It seems that there is an Atlantis in the Atlantic, and I don't know if the Han Emperor is interested in climbing a relative. Just right, take the Indians with you - to the bottom of the sea to build a state! ”

In contrast to the sad face of Chief of General Staff Bradley, Admiral Clark was in high spirits. "As long as our tactics are right, it is not hopeless to defeat the enemy's armored forces in the highway area and drive the Allies from San Francisco into the Pacific Ocean!"

"Hopefully everything goes well!" Bradley couldn't allow himself to be as optimistic as Clark, "The last time we were in Carneson City, we didn't defeat the Great Han's Guards Panzer. In Africa, we already know that in the establishment of the Han army, the 13th Legion of the Han Dynasty is a first-class army, but only the Guards Legion is their super trump card. Defeating those Siberian Tiger tanks of the Liangzhou Legion does not mean that our tanks have absolute superiority. Mark, you can't ignore the M26's crushing defeat in Libya......"

"Chief of the General Staff, you should have confidence in our American lads. In Libya, it was those double-barreled monsters of the Han army that defeated our heavy tanks. However, our intelligence department has confirmed that there are only a small number of that monster Han Kingdom, and at most only two divisions are equipped. I don't think it's going to be easy to get them across the Pacific Ocean to our Americas. At least, the capable agents of the CIA haven't told me that the Han army has thrown those monsters here! ”

Bradley nodded, he didn't want to break Clarke's confidence too much before the big battle. But he remembered a quote from Eisenhower's letter, "It's not that I'm disloyal to America, but I love my country so much." It's just that, when the Han Empire is invincible, why can't we find another way to save the United States? Love is not waiting for destruction! ”

"Isn't love equal destruction?" Mr. Chief of General Staff crossed the tiger's mouth in his right hand, and pressed his thumb and index finger on the temples on both sides of his forehead respectively, "The extremely powerful Han Empire in Ike's mouth will not have weapons to deal with the M26?" Bradley shook his head at Clark's confidence, and a sense of foreboding suddenly swelled in his heart.
