Autumn is crisp and sunny, and on the south side of Lake Michigan, two large armies of conquest have triumphantly joined forces. The soldiers embraced, dancing, shouting and expressing their excitement. Zhuang Lei and the commander of the 4th Corps shook hands with the commander of the 3rd Corps, and their faces were full of joy and heroism. Zhuang Lei said: "The headquarters called, let our three corps fight a big battle in Detroit and eat the fat in front of us in one fell swoop." Detroit and its surrounding cities are the cities with concentrated industries in the eastern part of the United States, especially the American military enterprises. ”

The commander of the 3rd Corps said: "Take the Detroit industrial area, the Americans do not have the capital to compete with us, and our process will be greatly accelerated." Brother Zhuang, look at the way you are determined to win, presumably the battle plan has been brewed and matured? "Today, I am in charge of the east, first, to celebrate the victory of the division, and second, to finalize the battle plan." Several people walked towards the station with laughter, and the conversation and laughter spread to the surroundings with the sound of the wind. At present, the Imperial Expeditionary Army is unstoppable in destroying the Gula decay, but the American army is still in the final death throes. Detroit, the largest industrial area in the eastern part of the United States, is an important steel producing area in the United States and an important military production area in the United States, so the U.S. military has gathered heavy troops in this area to resist stubbornly.

In order to effectively command the operation, the headquarters of the expeditionary force was moved to Denver. At this moment, the headquarters of the expeditionary force is in order, and the huge military map on the wall, its red arrows are almost pointing in one direction, indicating the offensive posture of the expeditionary force and it is very eye-catching. At this moment, Commander He Meng's face was very calm, and the battle was progressing smoothly, and his mood was getting better and better. Today, He Meng deliberately shaved his beard and shaved his head, looking much younger. Chief of Staff Nie Fengwu saw that the operational staff officer had repositioned the red arrow on the military map. Nodding in satisfaction.

"Report, great victory on the southern front! The 7th Corps called, and at 10 o'clock the division captured New Orleans. Annihilated 120,000 U.S. troops. A combat staff officer reported. Chief of Staff Nie Fengwu said: "The 7th Corps fought beautifully, and the 2nd Corps launched the Battle of Birmingham in the morning today. "Order Shao Bo to take Birmingham as much as possible, and at the end of the month, he and the 7th Corps must advance to the Miami Peninsula." "Report! The 1st, 3rd, and 4th Corps report the Detroit battle plan! "A combat staff officer." Orders of the 1st, 3rd, and 4th Corps, after approval by the Campaign Planning Command. Deploy forces quickly, and the U.S. military will definitely hold Detroit, perhaps the last big battle. As long as Detroit is taken, the United States is basically dead. ”

The Battle of Detroit began with the capture of Birmingham by the 2nd Corps, while the 5th and 6th Corps launched an offensive against Frankfurt. The northern and southern fronts were filled with gunsmoke and good news was frequent. An airfield on the front line. Fighter planes took off frequently, and the battle was in full swing. At present, the Expeditionary Force Air Force has formed four combat teams, with a total of 550 combat aircraft, of which 350 are advanced combat aircraft. The front line continues to advance eastward, and the front-line airfields are also constantly shifting to the east, efficiently supporting front-line operations.

The Air Force of the Expeditionary Force formally established the Air Force Command, and Gao Xiang and Zhanfei were promoted to the chief and deputy commanders of the Air Force in accordance with the orders of the Expeditionary Force Command. Now Gao Xiang and Zhanfei no longer need to fly the plane in person. With the rapid spread of air communications, they remotely commanded operations on the ground. At the moment in the ground command tower. Gao Xiang took the new walkie-talkie shipped from China and shouted: "02, 02, please answer, report the location of your squadron!" "Despite the noise interference on the intercom, the sound was still heard clearly.

"My squadron is entangled by a large number of American planes and asks for reinforcements!" "The 8th Squadron is flying to your airspace for reinforcements, and will report the results at any time." "Report, 12th Bombardment Squadron arrived over Detroit and is carrying out air strikes." As dusk came, the fighters returned to the airport one after another, heralding the end of the day's air battles. Although the US military is manufacturing fighter planes at an astonishing speed, there is a great shortage of US pilots, and with the consumption of mature pilots in the US military, the immature US Air Force is almost a live target in the sky.

At present, the air force of the expeditionary force is stationed at three airfields on the front line and has completely mastered air supremacy. The setting sun obscures the last rays of light, and night begins to fall. Gao Xiang and Zhanfei stood side by side, and they both withdrew their gazes. At the moment, the two are too lazy to talk about the results of air combat, for the Imperial Air Force, it is like a heavyweight fighter fighting a lightweight fighter, and he is not a person of the same level at all. At this time, more than a dozen transport planes flew from the rear airfield and circled in the sky to prepare for landing, and wireless communications began to crumble again.

Zhan Fei said: "The American man-made planes are not good, but their airport is well repaired, and it is simply tailor-made for us." Gao Xiang said with a smile: "If the Americans could have thought that such an advanced airfield would become a base for the air attack of the expeditionary force, and they would never have made great efforts to repair the airfield." The Americans want to build a powerful air force, but there is no time, and this is the sadness of the Americans. "I can't fly the plane in the air, I really don't feel good about it." "The same is true for me, but what can be done, you and I am the commander now, and the responsibility of commanding the operation is heavier."

"According to the report, the transport plane brought the most advanced armor-piercing blasting projectiles of domestic production, which can penetrate a meter of reinforced concrete." A subordinate reported. "Haha, now the American soldiers are miserable, and the fortress will become their grave." "Let's go see the new bomb!" Gao Xiang couldn't help but be curious. At present, a lot of improved weapons and equipment have been shipped to the United States, so that the United States can use this testing ground to exert its last residual heat. For example, the bombs and incendiary bombs were put into actual combat, and the air strikes became more and more terrifying.

The U.S. military's fortifications on the outskirts of Detroit were like hemp, and the U.S. military resistance was very stubborn. In the front-line command post, the commander of the 1st Division, Iron Tower, held a telescope to look ahead. A group of planes swept overhead, intercepted in the airspace in front of the US planes. In several aerial battles, I saw US fighters emitting thick smoke and falling from the sky one after another. The soldiers have become accustomed to the fact that US fighter planes have been shot down one after another, and they are even a little numb. The unilateral massacres have left the soldiers unmotivated. Soon the remaining American fighters fled, and the Imperial fighters pursued.

There was another silence in the sky, and a group of bombers came. With the fierce air raids, there were not many air defense units left of the US army, and the bomber groups did not hesitate to bomb at ultra-low altitudes. An armor-piercing blast bomb penetrated a U.S. fort, only to see that the fort was blown up by the roots as if it had been made into a dirt plane. "Damn, this must be a new type of armor-piercing bullet, it's too evil." The tower shouted loudly, and the operational staff officers of the division headquarters were even more excited, and they also applauded loudly. After the group of bombers departed, the tower gave the order to attack, and with the extension of artillery fire, the tanks and fighting vehicles opened the way in front and the infantry followed.

There was no suspense in the battle, and this group of American forts was overcome. Three-dimensional operations were staged in various units. As the attacks continued to rage, the U.S. military continued to collapse. The US high command issued a death order not to retreat, and this move caused the desperate US troops to surrender in groups and brigades. The battlefield could be seen at any time, and the American prisoners of war were escorted to the east in a long line with their faces dusty. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Battle of Detroit was the last battle, and the US military could not stop the powerful offensive of the expeditionary force even if it put in all the most elite troops, air forces, and tank units, and the Americans had already come to the end of defeat.

At the headquarters of the 1st Corps, Zhuang Lei looked at his watch, and when the minute hand and hour hand coincided at 6 o'clock, he quickly waved his hand and said: "Open the artillery, and the armies will attack in 20 minutes!" "The earth began to shake, and heavy artillery fire fell down on Detroit." Report to the headquarters that at 6 o'clock our corps launched a general attack on Detroit on all fronts. "The roar of fighter planes was heard in the sky, the tanks and chariots formed a torrent of steel, the soldiers shouted and launched a charge like a sea of mountains, and the bright military flags flew in the wind and were invincible??????。

At the end of October, in Atlanta, south of the Miami Peninsula, Shao Bo led the 1st Corps and the 7th Corps to join forces along the line, and then the two corps advanced north in two routes. Antonio arrived with a French legion, and Shao Bo and his wife Anna greeted them and saw them off at the same time. "General Shao, the imperial army is on the offensive, I didn't expect it to progress so quickly." Antonio said happily when he saw him. Shao Bo said with a smile: "After our army conquered Detroit, the US army completely lost the capital to resist, and there is no problem in ending the war in the United States before the end of the year." ”

Shao Bo continued: "The headquarters called, in order to show our sincerity, we will not send troops to the Miami Peninsula. General Antonio, the Miami Peninsula is left to you, and as for how you form the 3rd French Republic, the Imperial Government does not interfere. "Thanks to the kindness of the Imperial Government, I swear, on behalf of the citizens of the Miami Peninsula, that I will be friendly with the Chinese Empire for generations to come, and that I will never betray it. General Shao, I have a mention yì, please General Shao answer. "General Antonio, please call a spade."

"Anna is pregnant, and it is inconvenient to follow the army to fight, I want to take her to Miami to reunite with her family, and let her work safely, and ask General Shao to complete it." "As long as Anna wants to, I have no opinion." Anna gratitatively grabbed Shao Bo's arm. "I have one more request, the 3rd French Empire Celebration, to invite General Shao as a guest." "Okay, I'll go then!" Shao Bo said goodbye to his wife Anna and Antonio, and led his troops to march to Peking University, and the United States entered the final elegy.

After Antonio led a large army to take control of the Miami Peninsula, he immediately declared the independence of the Miami Peninsula and formed the Third French Republic. At the first time, the Chinese Empire issued a statement fully supporting the independence of the Miami Peninsula and recognizing their legal status. In mid-November, the 2nd and 7th Corps captured Washington, the capital of the United States, and the U.S. government moved to New York. At the end of November, the 1st Corps approached New York, and there was no suspense in the battle. (To be continued......)
