Two battalions of Imperial Marines landed on Impiril Beach and immediately established a fortified beachhead on the beach. The artillery erected mortars and infantry guns on the incoming beaches to provide fire support directly to the landing troops. In this process, they were not intercepted at all, and the 2nd Regiment of the 24th Infantry Division of the US Army stationed here was completely in chaos.

After the heavy shelling of the Imperial Navy, the 2nd Regiment of the 24th Infantry Division of the US Army suffered heavy losses, and although Colonel Shrek had given the order to enter the position and prepare to resist the landing of the Chinese* army, the American soldiers below did not follow his orders well. Most of the U.S. troops chose to wait and see or even flee, which affected the reaction speed of the U.S. military.

When the 24th Regiment of the 2nd Infantry Division of the US Army was not ready, the two battalions of the landed Imperial Marines had already launched a charge on their positions. Although the 2nd Regiment of the U.S. Army was still superior in strength, it was still defeated by the Imperial Marines and was unable to form an army. The landing of the Imperial Marines was successful, already predictable.

"Tut, these Americans really don't know how to fight, and we successfully landed so lightly." On the battleship 'King Zhou Ping', Major General Gu Yun, commander of the 13th Infantry Corps of the Imperial Army, pouted and said.

"Hmmm! The Americans, in terms of combat effectiveness, really cannot be compared with the opponents we have encountered before. Major General Zhang Shun, commander of the 1st Marine Corps Brigade, also nodded, agreeing with Major General Gu Yun's point of view. Landing operations. Originally, it was the kind of operation with the greatest casualties, but now, the U.S. military has caused almost no casualties to the Marines. Thus. How low is the combat effectiveness of the US military.

Other generals also agreed with this view. In North America, or even in the Americas as a whole, the United States may be a great power. However, compared with the great powers of Eurasia, the United States is much worse. In particular, in terms of military strength, the United States is no match for the European powers and the Chinese Empire. Although there is protection from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. However, with the continuous development of technology, these two oceans are no longer an obstacle to other countries landing in North America. The United States wants to be the king and hegemon in the Americas again. That's already impossible.

"Behold! This American doesn't know what's going on, is his head caught in the door? To dare to provoke the empire and seize the territory of the empire is simply not knowing whether to live or die. This time. We'll make sure they understand. What will happen if you offend the Empire! Rear Admiral Xu Hai, Chief of Staff of the 1st Fleet of the Imperial Navy, said.

Those who offend my Chinese Tianwei will be punished even if they are far away! This is a concept that Emperor Long Yufei has always instilled in his generals. It is also everyone's persistence over the years. As the empire grew stronger, it was enough to ensure the implementation and implementation of this idea.

Subsequently, Major General Zhang Shun, commander of the 1st Marine Brigade, ordered the other four battalions of the 1st Brigade, as well as the artillery battalion, to land. By noon, the main forces of the 1st Brigade of the Imperial Marine Corps had completed the landing, and the vanguard had completely routed the American forces and captured the entire beach of Impieril.

And reinforcements from the 24th Infantry Division of the US Army. It wasn't until one o'clock in the afternoon that it was late. Major General Davis, commander of the 24th Infantry Division of the US Army, led the main force of the 24th Infantry Division of the US Army of more than 9,000 people. Depart from San Diego and head straight to Impierrier Beach to drive down the landed Imperial Marines. As a result, as soon as they arrived at the beach of Impieril, they were subjected to heavy shelling by the Imperial Navy from the sea, resulting in heavy casualties.

The 1st Brigade of the Imperial Marine Corps also launched a counterattack in a timely manner, and the 24th Infantry Division of the US Army was defeated, with more than half of the division's casualties, and most of the remaining people surrendered to the Imperial Marines. Only a handful of people fled San Diego and fled to northern California.

The U.S. 24th Infantry Division was in a hurry when it fled, and did not blow up the port of San Diego. This allowed the Imperial Navy to utilize the docks in San Diego for loading and unloading. The 13th Infantry Corps, the 28th Infantry Corps, and the 5th Marine Brigade of the Imperial Army were able to use this pier to quickly disembark and transport equipment from the ship, saving a lot of time.

"The marina here is still too small. Next, the 1st Fleet will expand its docks to speed up the loading and unloading of people and supplies. However, the Army needs to ensure the safety of San Diego. Lieutenant General Wei Yong said to Major General Gu Yun.

"Commander Wei, let's do it, two Marine Brigades, one in San Diego, is enough to ensure the safety of the docks. The rest of the U.S. troops will be handed over to us to deal with. Major General Gu Yun said. U.S. forces deployed a full 300,000 troops on the West Coast. Soon after the news of the landing of Chinese* troops in San Diego spread, the U.S. military will gather forces to march on San Diego. When the time comes, the Imperial Army still has a fierce battle to fight!

"Hmm!" Lieutenant General Wei Yong nodded. A Marine brigade, supported by artillery fire from the sea, was enough to hold San Diego.

Because the strength of the U.S. Navy was too weak and the main forces were concentrated on the Atlantic coast, the Imperial Navy did not have much to show in this battle, which made the officers and men of the 1st Fleet very disappointed. There are powerful warships in the air, but they can't exert much strength, and they are indeed a little aggrieved. Of course, Lieutenant General Wei Yong knew that as the empire became stronger and stronger, the contradictions with the Western world would become more and more prominent, and sooner or later the empire would go to war with the Western powers. When the time comes, the Navy will be able to come in handy. This day must not be too far away.

The command of the US Army on the West Coast, located in San Francisco. Because of the Zài gold mines, it has become the most prosperous city on the west coast of North America. The well-developed port facilities, coupled with the convenience of transportation, led the US military to believe that it would become the primary target of the Chinese Empire's attack. More than half of the 300,000 U.S. troops deployed on the West Coast are located around San Francisco or no more than 100 kilometers from here. The landing of the Chinese Empire in San Diego completely exceeded the expectations of the US military and caught the US military by surprise.

U.S. Army Lieutenant General Robert Murphy Anderson, appointed commander of the West Coast Theater of Operations, was responsible for taking full command of the defense of U.S. forces on the West Coast. On the morning of September 18th, Robert . No sooner had Lieutenant General Anderson walked into his office than he received news of the landing of Chinese* troops in San Diego.

"San Diego? Damn, how could it be San Diego? What the hell are those yellow-skinned monkeys trying to do? "Robert. Lieutenant General Anderson frowned. San Diego is already close to the territory of Mexico, the southernmost part of the West Coast of the United States. Chinese * troops landed in San Diego, and it was Robert Brown. Something that Lieutenant General Anderson definitely did not expect.

"General, according to the report of the 24th Infantry Division, the troops of the Chinese landing in San Diego exceeded 100,000 people. There were more than two hundred warships on the surface of San Diego. "A staff officer addressed Robert Murphy. Lieutenant General Anderson reported.

"Hell! Send a telegram to several infantry divisions in the south to gather them and avoid being broken by the Chinese. In addition, the 21st Infantry Division and the 27th Infantry Division were ordered to immediately move south and prepare to resist the attack of the Chinese. "Robert. Lieutenant General Anderson ordered. Now that the Chinese * army has landed in North America, there is no way but to find a way to defeat the Chinese * army. Otherwise, once the Chinese* army has gained a firm foothold, it will be even more difficult for the US Army to drive the Chinese* army into the sea.

"Yes, General!" The staff officer nodded, saluted, and left the office.

"Someone, to William. His Excellency L. Marcy sent a telegram informing him that the Chinese had landed in San Diego against our expectations. The landed Chinese * army, more than 100,000 people, we need more troops! "Robert. Lieutenant General Anderson ordered.

"Yes, General!" The adjutant immediately went to send a telegram.

Robert. Lieutenant General Anderson is well aware that although the U.S. military has a military advantage on the West Coast, it is not so easy to resist the Chinese* army, or even defeat the Chinese* army. Compared with the U.S. Army, the Chinese* army has experienced a hundred battles and has advanced weapons, which is simply not comparable to the U.S. army, which has just undergone a large-scale expansion. Originally, I thought that I could block the Chinese from the sea. However, they did not expect that the Chinese* army would find the weak spot on the US defense line and complete the landing.

The size of the U.S. Army has now reached more than one million. However, the U.S. War Department is still frantically expanding its army, and there are countless young people lining up to join the U.S. Army at various recruitment points. The various arsenals in the United States are also producing weapons and equipment at full capacity, and the British are also continuously transporting weapons and equipment to the United States, so that the United States can easily arm the army.

In Robert. Under the orders of Lieutenant General Anderson, American troops throughout the West Coast went into action. First of all, several infantry divisions south of San Francisco began to assemble to the south, with a total of 5 infantry divisions and more than 60,000 men. Together with the two infantry divisions that moved south from San Francisco, the total number of American troops reached more than 80,000. However, Robert. Lieutenant General Anderson did not believe that this alone would be able to stop the attack of the Chinese* army, and he hoped that these infantry divisions would be able to build a defensive line south of San Francisco to buy time for the mobilization of other forces.

The U.S. forces, scattered throughout the West Coast, need to be assembled and then resist the attack of the Chinese* army, which will take a lot of time. (To be continued......)
