Chapter 1232: Doomed to Failure (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, has become home to the Imperial Army's 3rd Army, the Imperial Army's North American Theater Command. After last year's campaign, the Imperial Army used the winter to penetrate eastward, and now has advanced its front to Ohio, West Virginia, and Virginia. It is only two or three hundred kilometers away from Washington, the capital of the United States.

Although, the total strength of the U.S. Army is as high as 1.7 million, which is almost twice that of the Chinese Army and the Spanish Army. But it was almost impossible to count on these rabbles to hold back the advance of the Imperial army.

"Chief of Staff, what do the weather experts say?" Lieutenant General Gu Yun, commander of the 3rd Army, glanced outside and asked.

"Commander, weather experts say good weather for the coming week. Although the temperature is not very high, the soldiers have already adapted to it. It's time to attack! Lieutenant General Luo Xinde, chief of staff of the 3rd Army, said.

"Okay, give orders to the ministries, launch an attack in three days, and break through the Yankees' defense line in one fell swoop!" Lieutenant General Gu Yun made up his mind. The 3rd Army had been sent to the United States for several years, during which time it had numerous conflicts with the Americans. Now, we can finally defeat the Americans completely. To lay such a large territory for the country, Lieutenant General Gu Yun rushed to be very proud. He knew that when the war was over, a general would be indispensable. Even if he will be transferred back to China at that time, he will be content.

"Yes, Commander!" Lieutenant General Luo Xinde nodded.

"This is our last battle against the Americans! Americans are still resisting, but that's exactly what we need to see. Just kill all the men in the United States on the battlefield. Well, there is no hope for the country! Lieutenant General Gu Yun said. This is also an order issued by the Emperor Long Yufei.

The population of the United States is quite large. The Chinese Empire has only immigrated to North America by now more than 10 million, and most of them are concentrated on the West Coast. North America is fertile. There is more land available for cultivation than in mainland China. If these lands were in the hands of the Chinese Empire, they would at least be able to feed hundreds of millions of people. Of course, those Americans are not easy to deal with, and they are all mobs with guns. Meek Chinese, where are their opponents. In order to ensure the safety of the Chinese who immigrated to North America as much as possible, the Empire* army had to kill Americans on the battlefield. Kill all their men, and then let the Chinese men comfort their women. At that time, the whole of North America will be the world of the Chinese.

"Yes, Commander! Although the United States has not been a country for a long time, its people are not easy to deal with. Especially since everyone has a gun, how can this work? If such a law had been implemented in the country, I am afraid that it would have been chaotic a long time ago. In this war, we will weaken the Americans as much as possible, and it will also be beneficial for us to rule this place in the future. Lieutenant General Luo Xinde said.

Though. This kind of policy implemented by the Chinese Empire was undoubtedly a disaster for the Americans. However, for the Chinese. This is a great thing. Although the Chinese Empire has been constantly emigrating, the land contradictions in the country are still very acute because of the rapid population growth in the country. If you can lay down North America. Then, the contradictions in the country can be alleviated. As for the power of the Americans. Naturally, it was not put in the hearts of the imperial generals. What's more, who told those Americans to fight with the Empire? They're simply killing themselves.

"How is the preparation of the 11th Army? When the time comes. After we have dragged the main forces of the Americans, it is up to them to launch a fatal blow against the Americans! Lieutenant General Gu Yun asked.

Although the 11th Army had only 180,000 men, it was much smaller than the 3rd Army, which had undergone many rounds of expansion. However, the front that the 3rd Army needed to be responsible for was too long, so the task of completely destroying the United States could only be entrusted to the 11th Army.

"The 11th Army has arrived in Charleston. After waiting for the navy's warships to arrive, they will be able to board the ship. The news from the Navy is that they will arrive in Charleston in three days! Lieutenant General Luo Xinde said.

This time, the strategy was for the 3rd Army and the Spanish Army to attack from the west and south, respectively, to attract the main force of the American army. The 11th Army, with the assistance of the Navy, launched an attack from the sea, and the target of the attack was Washington. At that time, the Imperial Navy will cover the landing of the 11th Army on the Potomac River and then go straight to Washington. With the main forces of the US Army already held back by the 3rd Army of the Imperial Army and the Spanish Army, it was almost impossible to resist the attack of the 11th Army of the Imperial Army.

Once Washington falls under the control of the imperial army, will the Americans still have the courage to continue fighting? Perhaps, then the war will be over! Even if some Americans continue to resist, on the whole, they will not pose much of a threat to the Imperial Army.

"Hmmm! Send a telegram to the 11th Army, whether they can defeat the Americans in one fell swoop this time depends on them! Lieutenant General Gu Yun said.

"Yes, Commander! However, Commander, the Americans seem to be on guard. Of their 1.7 million troops, only a million were deployed on the Western and Southern Fronts. The rest of the army is in Maryland. When the time comes, the 11th Army will definitely hit hard bones! Lieutenant General Luo Xinde was a little worried. After all, this time the 11th Army drove straight into the Yellow Dragon. It would not be good if it fell under siege by the Americans. Of course, with the current strength of the United States, it is simply impossible to encircle and annihilate an army group of the Imperial Army.

"Don't worry! When the time comes, as soon as we attack, the Americans will send reinforcements. Besides, with the strength of the 11th Army, even if it confronts hundreds of thousands of American troops head-on, there will be no problem! "Lieutenant General Gu Yun is very optimistic.

The main reason is that the combat effectiveness of the current US military is declining very rapidly, and how high can the combat effectiveness of the army, which is composed of the old, weak, sick and disabled, be expected to be high? In addition, in terms of weapons and equipment, with the fall of some parts of the Great Lakes, the industrial strength of the United States has also suffered a great blow. Under such circumstances, the equipment of the US military has also declined significantly. It can be said that the current US military has reached its weakest time.

"Hmm!" Lieutenant General Luo Xinde nodded.

On the morning of March 18, 1855, the Imperial Army's 3rd Army split up and launched a fierce attack on the American lines in Ohio and West Virginia. At the same time, 200,000 Spanish troops also launched an offensive against Virginia. Under the attack of the Imperial Army and the Spanish Army, although they were not prepared, they could not resist.

This was especially true in the face of the offensive of the 3rd Army of the Imperial Army. In just one day, the defense line of the American army was breached. A large number of American troops were captured or killed, and in one day, the 3rd Army of the Imperial Army advanced twenty kilometers.

Inside the command of the U.S. Army, U.S. Army Chief of Staff David Murphy. Admiral Farragut's gloomy face was as dripping as if he were able to drip water. Although the chief of staff of the US Army is the supreme commander of the US Army, the current position of chief of staff is not a good job!

In the face of the fierce attack of the Chinese Army, the US military simply could not resist. To follow David. In the words of Admiral Farragut, it is better to surrender as soon as possible. In this way, more casualties can be avoided.

It's just that his opinion was not adopted. U.S. Secretary of War Charles Murphy M. Conrad asked him to resist the attack of the Chinese as much as possible and strive for a miracle.

For the so-called miracle, David. Admiral Farragut scoffed. The current United States has fallen to this point, and it is simply a fool's dream to still hope that a miracle will appear.

Although the total strength of the U.S. Army seems to be a lot, relying on those old people and children to compete with the elite Chinese Army. To tell the truth, send those children who are not yet as tall as a rifle or the gray-haired old man to the battlefield. Farragut himself felt a deep sense of guilt. But the damned politicians don't seem to see this at all.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, William. General Sherman's telegram! A staff officer handed a telegram to David. Admiral Farragut.

"Hell!" David. Admiral Farragut took the telegram and looked at it, and couldn't help but curse secretly. The Chinese army launched a fierce attack, and the American army suffered heavy losses. The front-line troops, with heavy losses, had to abandon their positions. Now the troops are being routed to the east, William. Admiral Sherman asked for more reinforcements for him.

"To William. General Sherman sent a telegram. Let him hold the line no matter what. I'll do my best to send him reinforcements! "David. Admiral Farragut said.

"Yes, General!" The staff officer saluted and quickly left.

Subsequently, David. Admiral Farragut went to the Secretary of War for Charles. M. Conrad's office, to report to him on the current situation.

"Your Excellency, William. Admiral Sherman's army was defeated, and he needed reinforcements. If we want to stabilize the front, we'll have to draw troops from Maryland's reserves to Ohio! "David. Admiral Farragut said. Of course, he believes that even if reinforcements are sent to Ohio, they may not be able to withstand the advance of the Chinese* army. After all, although the U.S. military has a superiority in strength, its combat power is far from being able to compete with the Chinese Army. The gap between the two sides is too big, and it is so big that it cannot be reversed. (To be continued......)
