In the evening, the 4th Field Division of the 1st Army began to deploy in the south, and the other field divisions temporarily entered to rest. The staff officers of the headquarters at the front station confirmed the location of the headquarters in the city, and Nie Fengwu and Dai Hui prepared to take a car to the city. In the temporary headquarters of the docks, a Navy officer reported: "Report, the headquarters of the Oahu Expeditionary Force has called for the convoy to return as soon as possible, and has requested that all four field armies be transported to San Francisco by mid-May." Nie Fengwu said: "According to the current loading and unloading conditions, it will take at least 3 days for all the military supplies of the transport fleet to go ashore, and the headquarters is very tight, we must find a way to return the transport fleet as soon as possible." ”

"501, the loading and unloading machinery at the wharf is limited, and it is indeed a delay to do so step by step, and I organize the sailors to carry the supplies as soon as possible, and strive to return the transport fleet tomorrow evening." Dai Hui suggested. Nie Fengwu nodded and said, "This is a good way." Dai Hui immediately instructed the chief of staff to organize the warships and sailors to rush to transport military supplies. Nie Fengwu seemed to remember something: "Where has the 2nd Field Team arrived?" An operational staff officer said: "If it goes well, the 2nd Field Army will arrive tomorrow morning!" ”

When Nie Fengwu and Dai Hui were about to stare at the car, they received a report that the US troops had retreated 50 kilometers on a large scale and built a new defensive line on the front line of Balling. Nie Fengwu ordered the defense troops on the southern front not to act rashly, and not to act without an order. Several jeeps and trucks sped towards the city. Nie Fengwu and Dai Hui sat side by side in a jeep, "501, the U.S. military is not injured and has strong troops in the south, and it is rich in blocking battles, I don't understand why the U.S. military is retreating 50 kilometers?" After all, Dai Hui was unfamiliar with land operations, so he asked in confusion.

Nie Fengwu groaned and said, "According to my judgment." The US military is afraid of carrier-based aircraft air strikes, and a retreat of 50 kilometers is exactly the limit of the combat radius of carrier-based aircraft. It seems that the U.S. military is worried about our air strikes on its artillery units. Defensive operations are difficult to defend without artillery support. U.S. military commanders are not straw bales. "Where are you going to push south?" "We must take Bald Ridge, this east-west ridge is our barrier to stabilize San Francisco in the future, and tomorrow when the 2nd Field Army arrives, it will immediately be stationed in the south, and it will attack at dawn without hesitation."

The convoy entered the city, and the rolling streets made it impossible for the convoy to go fast at all. "Where is the headquarters?" Nie Fengwu asked. An operational staff officer, who was sitting in the front row, replied: "The headquarters is located on such and such a street. The building of the former U.S. military headquarters, across the street from Chinatown. "501, how about we go to Chinatown first?" "Good! Go to Chinatown. With the help of overseas Chinese, we are like a fish in water. We must greet them and show our sincerity. "At a street crossing, an overseas Chinese militiaman personally led the way to Chinatown.

At this time, Chinatown was still deposited in joy, the streets were brightly lit, and people stood on the streets in groups of east and west. They are loudly talking about the results of the Imperial Army. At this time. Chen Zhiqiang stood at the door of his house and boasted to his neighbors about how he assisted the special forces in fighting and how he beat the enemy in disarray, but he didn't mention it at all. Lin Yazhi listened beside her, she was not interested in how many American soldiers she had eliminated, her mind was on Nangong. Originally, after Nangong and his cousin returned from a mission, Lin Yazhi wanted to visit Nangong.

But his father told him that Nangong agreed to marry her, which made Lin Yazhi overjoyed but afraid to see Nangong. After all, the girl's reserve made her a little embarrassed. When Lin Yazhi heard that Nangong was injured in order to save her cousin, she immediately left her reserve behind. Hurried to the guild hall. In the afternoon of that day, a field infantry regiment entered the city and took over the defense of all key places, and all the special forces were concentrated in Chinatown for temporary garrison, and 10 detachments of nearly 200 people were stationed in the Overseas Chinese Association Hall alone. ，

In the room where Nangong lived, the team leaders Su Ren, Lei Gang, and Xiao Sheng came to visit. Nangong had just undergone surgery shirtless, and his arm was wrapped in bandages. "I said Nangong Daxia, your kid has come over with strong winds and waves, why did you capsize in the gutter!" Xiao Sheng scoffed. "Don't mention it, those martial arts team juniors don't have any military quality at all, don't mention the scene at that time." "Hey! Didn't you train the militia? Lei Gang teased. Okay, don't open any pot and mention which pot, Nangong Daxia heard that you are not shallow, so he hugged a daughter-in-law downstairs. Su Ren changed the subject,

"Yes! You kid has two hits, and you still have this kind of mind when you fight! "Hey, is the girl pretty?" "When did we have a good time!" Several people were gossiping and clamoring. At this time, the door was pushed open, and I saw Lin Yazhi running in urgently, as if she was running in front of Nangong like no one, and said, "I heard that you were injured, how are you injured, you didn't hurt your bones!" Lin Yazhi stared at the bandage, her eyes full of tears. Nangong was a little stupid bare-chested, and the brothers hurriedly slipped out of the house when they saw this scene, and there was hearty laughter outside.

Seeing Lin Yazhi's concerned face, Nangong came back to his senses and hurriedly put on a piece of clothing and said, "It's nothing, it's just a skin injury." "You're going to have an accident, what should I do!" Lin Yazhi choked up a little, as if she regarded herself as a wife. Nangong saw Lin Yazhi's sad expression, and felt a little touching. Lin Yazhi looks lively, generous, and enthusiastic compared to domestic women, and seems to be different from each other. Nangong carefully held Lin Yazhi's opponent, Lin Yazhi pursed her lips and looked at him, but Nangong was embarrassed and avoided the other party's gaze.

Ma Kai received the call and immediately notified Lin Zhong, and the two came to the street to greet Nie Fengwu and Dai Hui. When the convoy arrived, the two generals stepped out of the jeep, and Lin Zhong was a little excited. Ma Kai introduced the two sides, and Nie Fengwu held Lin Zhong's hand and said: "President Lin, you have suffered, and I express my condolences on behalf of the people of the motherland!" Dai Hui also pleaded: "President Lin, this place will become your real home in the future." "Two generals, welcome to here, we have finally turned over with the arrival of the imperial army, and the days of suffering are over, and I thank you and the motherland on behalf of the overseas Chinese."

Lin Zhong continued: "Two generals, if you don't dislike it, please go to the cold house, thin wine and vegetarian dishes, catch the wind and wash the dust, and show a little heart" The group soon came to the Lin house, and the Lin family was lively, and the wine and food were placed on the table. "President Lin, the battle continues, and now is not the time to celebrate. Before the storm comes, we must establish ourselves in San Francisco. Due to the bottlenecks in transportation, we were only able to bring in about 200,000 troops. It is impossible to launch a large-scale offensive. So we're going to have to stay in San Francisco for at least five months from now. ”

"At the end of May, we were going to cut off the transport lines, and the supplies we brought in lasted for two months. Now that we have captured the grain depot, although the food can meet the needs of the army, what will happen to the inhabitants of the city? President Hayashi, how many residents are there in the city? "San Francisco has a population of about 700,000, and a conservative estimate is 500,000 excluding those who have fled." Nie Fengwu continued: "There are still 500,000 residents in the urban area. In the next step, the U.S. military will definitely adopt blockade tactics, and the food supply of our troops can be solved, but what about the residents of the city? ”

Nie Fengwu continued: "If you let the residents of the city go hungry. There will be riots, which will be the biggest danger for us to defend San Francisco in the future. President Lin, is San Francisco the only grain depot? Lin Zhong stroked his beard and said, "As far as the old man knows, there is only one grain depot in San Francisco. But there is food in Auckland, east of the Gulf. Auckland is a food hub. The wharf near the bay has a large number of grain silos, two of which are dedicated to storing grain. Nie Fengwu stood up when he heard this, and took a few steps on the ground to stand still.

"502, Captain Ma, let's go back to the headquarters immediately, and in addition, notify Commander Zhuang and report to the headquarters as soon as possible." Nie Fengwu turned around and held Lin Zhong's hand and said, "President Lin." I'm really sorry, we have to go back to the headquarters right away. Convene a military meeting, and I'll visit again another day! "General Nie, please stay, I know what you are going to do? Let my nephew Zhiqiang go, he knows Auckland well and can show you the way. Soon the group came to the headquarters, and about a time later, Zhuang Lei arrived in a hurry.

There were no polite words, and everyone discussed the plan to seize grain. Nie Fengwu pointed to the captured map of Auckland and said: "Chen Zhiqiang explained the situation in Auckland to us, according to our judgment, the reinforcements of the U.S. army have not yet come up, Auckland is empty, and it is estimated that the defenders of Auckland will not exceed 5,000 people." According to the information provided by Chairman Lin, there was a large amount of grain in Oakland, so we immediately implemented the plan to seize the grain while the US military did not come to its senses. 502, you immediately organize support warships and unloaded freighters, and go to the eastern harbor overnight to stand by. Dai Hui nodded, walked to the side and picked up the phone.

"Zhuang Lei!" "Here!" "You immediately send two regiments, one to launch a feint attack on Auckland, and the other to transport food." "Yes! Subordinates obey orders! Zhuang Lei immediately stepped aside and picked up the phone. Ma Kai ""Arrived! "Your special forces are tasked with seizing the Auckland grain terminal and ensuring the food security is brought back!" "Yes!" Nie Fengwu glanced at his watch and continued: "It's 21 o'clock, and we will start acting at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning!" Ma Kai turned and left, he was going back to Chinatown to organize the troops, and he was pulled to the eastern harbor overnight to stand by.

"501, I have ordered the commander of the 1st Division, Hu Biao, to lead two regiments and pull them to the eastern harbor overnight to stand by, what other instructions do you have!" As soon as Zhuang Lei's words fell, a communications officer hurriedly came in to report: "Report, the 2nd Field Army is calling, they arrived at about 2 o'clock in the morning!" Nie Fengwu said: "Zhuang Lei, your 4th Division does not need to be withdrawn from the southern fortification, after the 2nd Army arrives, quickly go ashore and pull a division to the south under your command." I ask that tomorrow at 8 o'clock sharp, launch an attack on the US defense line in the southern Bald Ridge, and ask you to take Bald Ridge in two days! "Yes, please 501 and 502 rest assured that they will complete the task."

After Zhuang Lei left, Dai Hui said: "501, I ordered 6 battleships and 10 destroyers to cooperate with the action, and asked all the unloaded freighters to be pulled to the eastern harbor to standby. Nie Fengwu said: "Auckland belongs to the inland harbor, there is no fortress fort, I don't estimate that the operation will not be much difficult, the key is how much food Auckland has, is the most concerned issue." Dai Hui said with a smile, Zhuang Lei's 4th Division moved south overnight, and it is estimated that the US command has no energy to think about anything else. The Americans could not have imagined that we were going to grab food while attacking. ”

Nie Fengwu said: "502, the original plan was to plan the transport fleet to return to Hawaii tomorrow night, and it had to be postponed until the day after tomorrow, and you personally arranged this matter." Tomorrow I will sit at the headquarters and command the southern operation and command the operation to seize food. "Okay, let's split up, I'll take charge of the docks myself." The army captured San Francisco, and before the butt was hot, they started a new operation without stopping. The night in San Francisco is quiet on the surface, but secretly it is magnificent. (To be continued......)

PS: After the landing, maybe a new battle has just begun.
