Although China has sent more than two million troops to attack India and Australia, the main battlefield of the squadron at the moment is still the North American battlefield! Before defeating the United States, China needs to build up as much power as possible. The "5.com" attack on India and Australia is just the fruit of China's victory. With Germany becoming less and less interested in the war, China had to prepare early. Although the original agreement between China and Germany was to attack Russia in the spring of 1913 and assist Germany and the Allies in achieving victory in the European theater. However, it is clear that Germany is slowly accumulating strength and has not invested all its strength on the battlefield. In such a situation, China needs to obtain these fruits of victory in advance to ensure its own interests! At the same time, the North American battlefield is also the focus, and only after defeating the United States and completely removing the US threat to China can China let go of its hands and meddle in the European theater, and even compete with Germany for world hegemony in the future!

After the Battle of the Rio Grande, the main force of the U.S. Army had been wiped out by the squadron, although more than 150 U.S. troops eventually fled back to the heart of the United States from the Rio Grande. But on the whole, after several crushing defeats, the US military has lost the strength to confront the Chinese army. The US Government is now only counting on the Army to resist the attack of the squadron and delay as much time as possible so that the US Navy can win the decisive battle with the Chinese Navy. Thus turning the tide of battle! Arguably. The United States has placed all its hopes on the US Navy. In such a situation. The Chinese Army temporarily halted its offensive into the American hinterland.

Although the squadron won the battle of the Rio Grande Line and inflicted heavy losses on the American army, its own losses were not small. In particular, the consumption of materials is very staggering. Although a large amount of ammunition and weapons and equipment of the US army were captured in San Antonio, this is a drop in the bucket for the huge consumption of the squadron!

Field Marshal Zhao Bowen, Minister of the Chinese Army and Supreme Commander of the North American Theater, after consideration, presented a new operational plan to the General Staff. The main force of the North American theater of war, with a part of the troops, stabilized the current front. The other part of the force attacked westward, encircling and annihilating the American forces deployed on the west coast. In this way, it can help reduce the distance of logistics transportation, and at the same time, it can also eliminate the threat of the US army to the rear of the squadron!

The General Staff consulted the Emperor Wang Yuze, and after a war game, agreed to the plan proposed by General Zhao Bowen. The General Staff issued an order for the Navy to fully cooperate with the Army's operations and annihilate the American forces on the West Coast of the United States. At the same time, it is also preparing to send twenty divisions of troops to land on the west coast of the United States to assist the offensive of the troops in the North American theater!

November 16th. That is, after the Battle of the Rio Grande was resolved, the Chinese Army dispatched the 2nd Army and the 6th Army to the North American theater. Another 20 infantry divisions, as well as 300,000 Japanese and 200,000 Korean mercenaries, totaling more than 1.2 million troops, marched to the west coast of the United States. At the same time, the main forces of the Chinese Navy also began an attack on the west coast of the United States. Previously, in order to guard against China's attack on the US mainland, the United States built a large number of fortifications and other fortifications in various strategic points on the west coast of the United States, installed a large number of large-caliber coastal defense guns, and deployed more than one million troops on the west coast of the United States all year round.

However, after the squadron broke through the Rio Grande and invaded the United States from the south, the deployment of the U.S. Army on the West Coast fell into an awkwardness. Although the U.S. military deployed millions of troops on the west coast, it also spent a lot of money to build a steel defense line along the coast. But the squadron did not attack from here, which made the preparations made by the American army completely wasteful. And then, once the squadron continues to advance into the hinterland of the United States, the troops deployed by the US troops on the west coast are likely to be cut off by the squadron and completely isolated. When the time comes, their situation will be very miserable. Coupled with the fact that the U.S. Army has been defeated by the squadron on the battlefield continuously, the morale of the U.S. troops deployed on the West Coast has also been greatly affected! It was at this time that the squadron launched an attack on the west coast of the United States!

At 8 a.m. on Nov. 25, the Chinese Navy launched a heavy artillery bombardment of La Jolla, north of San Diego, the U.S. Navy's West Coast Fleet Base. Although the US military deployed dozens of large-caliber coastal defense guns here, the Chinese Navy concentrated twelve battleships and carried out heavy artillery shelling here. Four 'Tang-class' battleships equipped with 381 mm guns became the main force in the shelling. Although the U.S. shore defense guns are protected by solid reinforced concrete turrets. However, in the face of 381-mm armor-piercing shells weighing almost a ton, the protection of these shore defense guns turned out to be somewhat weak. When these coastal defense artillery positions were first built, most of them were built to protect against armor-piercing shells of 305 mm naval guns. But now, the caliber of the main ships of the Chinese Navy is generally 343 mm, and the caliber of the 'Tang-class' battleships is as high as 381 mm. The power of such large-caliber naval guns is not something that these coastal fortifications can resist.

After an hour of artillery fighting, the U.S. shore fortifications were destroyed, and the 4th and 5th Marine Divisions of the Chinese Marine Corps then began to land under the cover of the Navy's heavy firepower. The U.S. military has only two infantry divisions stationed in La Jolla, and these two infantry divisions have already suffered heavy losses in the heavy shelling of the Chinese Navy! They are simply powerless to resist the landing operation launched by the Chinese marines! In the end, he had to abandon La Jolla on his own initiative and retreat to San Diego. The Chinese Marines captured the area, and twenty infantry divisions of the army began to land.

On November 27, the Chinese Army assembled twelve infantry divisions to attack the U.S. naval base in San Diego. More than a dozen capital ships of the Chinese Navy also gathered on the sea to shell San Diego. As the home port of the U.S. Navy's West Coast Fleet, San Diego has a natural harbor, and the U.S. Navy has built a large number of coastal defense positions on both sides of the San Diego Military Port. However, these coastal defense positions were also only built to resist 305 mm caliber armor-piercing shells, and under the powerful fire of the Chinese Navy's four 'Tang-class' battleships, six 'Hanxin-class' fast battleships, and two 'Han-class' battleships, the US Navy's coastal defense positions built at the San Diego Military Port were bombed into the sky one by one! The shore defense artillery of the American army also suffered heavy losses.

The U.S. Army assembled four corps in San Diego, with a total strength of 200,000 troops. However, in the face of the twelve infantry divisions of the Chinese Army, they did not even have the ability to fight back, and they were defeated and retreated. On December 29, the 2nd Army of the Chinese Army also arrived on the battlefield and joined the attack on San Diego! The 2nd Armored Brigade entered the city of San Diego and cooperated with the army to strike at the American forces entrenched in the city. The U.S. troops could not withstand the attack of the armored forces and were losing one after another!

After discovering that San Diego could not be defended, the U.S. Navy's West Coast Fleet organized the last few dozen remaining light warships to rush out of the military port in a vain attempt to break through the blockade of the Chinese Navy and flee back to the United States. However, as soon as they broke out of the military port, they were besieged by the home fleet of the Chinese Navy and the Pacific Fleet. In addition to the 12 super-battleships deployed by the Chinese Navy outside the San Diego Naval Port, there are 12 'river-class' heavy cruisers, as well as dozens of light cruisers and destroyers. The light cruisers and destroyers of the US Navy rushed out of the harbor and were immediately hit with a devastating blow. Dozens of light warships, almost none of them survived, all of them were sunk or damaged. U.S. Navy West Coast Fleet Commander Robert Brown. Vice Admiral Koontz was killed in battle, and many of the rest of the generals surrendered to the Chinese Navy. As for the submarine forces of the US Navy's West Coast Fleet, they have been exhausted in previous battles. After the Chinese Navy's 'Lop Nur-class' anti-submarine frigates were put into service, the submarines of the US Navy were wiped out. The performance gap of the US Navy, with its huge noise, simply cannot escape the sonar search of anti-submarine frigates. Although the current sonar performance is not high, it is enough to deal with the submarines of the US Navy. Once the submarine is discovered, there is basically only a dead end!

On November 30, the Chinese Army captured San Diego, and the U.S. forces defending it damaged the port facilities in San Diego before surrendering to China. This made Marshal Li Dingxin, commander of the Chinese Navy's home fleet, and Marshal Zhao Bowen, Minister of War, very angry, and a very important reason for making San Diego the first target was because of its well-developed port facilities. After capturing this place, the squadron can use the port here to transfer troops and various supplies.

More than 100,000 U.S. troops surrendered in San Diego, and as a result, these people were forced to repair the port, and all those who dared to resist were killed, and the murderers of the Japanese mercenaries were sent to serve as overseers. Since then, these surrendered American troops have lived a hellish life, and it only took them more than half a month to repair the ruined port. But at the same time, there are basically not many of the 100,000 or so American prisoners of war left. Most of the people were exhausted from the work to restore the port!

After the capture of San Diego, the Chinese army attacked all the way north along the coastline, and the US troops deployed on the west coast were simply unable to resist. Most of the U.S. military leaders fled over the Rocky Mountains to the heart of the United States, and the entire West Coast of the United States fell into the hands of the squadron. And the U.S. government and the U.S. Army are powerless to fight back against the squadron's attack on the west coast of the United States, so they can only watch! (To be continued......)
