At an altitude of 8,000 meters, it was completely the intruder group playing with the P-40 fighters, as if playing a game with a trumpet.

Soon, in the headphones of the pilots of the US fighter planes, all the orders to retreat came.

The few remaining US fighter planes quickly retreated and burrowed into the clouds.

As a US pilot who was able to retreat, he was undoubtedly lucky, and the unfortunate ones could not go back.

But on the other hand, they are also unlucky, they are the first time to experience the level of the enemy's air combat, and their hearts are broken.

The intruder, with its superior performance, can evade the pursuit of two P-40 fighters with great ease, and can easily destroy enemy aircraft in the rear with high altitude, high speed, and small turns.

In just a short contact, the Red Alert fighter divisions have already made the US pilots taste complete defeat.

Maybe some of them have collapsed, maybe they don't even have the courage to fly a fighter into the air again.

This is not uncommon among the air forces of various countries, because not all of them can recover from this will that collapsed because of the air force and have the courage to fly fighter jets together in the blue sky.

And for the US Air Force, the catastrophe has only just begun.

When dozens of U.S. fighter planes retreated, more Red Alert air forces appeared in the sky, covering a large group of bombers over Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala.

The Americans are preparing to launch an attack on Panama on this day, and it is expected that by this time, the US Air Force will already be destroying airfields in Panama and gaining partial battlefield air supremacy.

However, all the pilots in the returning US military plane group looked like they were mourning, and before they could cry out about their painful experience and the helpless fiasco, the bomber group of the Red Alert Air Force had already arrived at the US air force bases in Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala.

After shooting down more than 300 US fighters in the sky, the Red Guard Air Force made a lightning assault into Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala.

By the next day, the United States did not have even a hundred fighters that could take off.

Completely unable to support the impending ground battle, the United States had no choice but to urgently mobilize 1,000 fighter planes from China into Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala.

Unbeknownst to the Americans, however, that in Panama they were facing a formidable opponent with two thousand Intruder fighters and a massive force of eight full bomber wings.

If the sky has been dominated by the Red Guard Corps, and the completely one-sided US Air Force is unable to gain air supremacy, then the ground war that is about to begin will probably be an astonishing battle that will jaw the whole world.

The Red Guard, which had gained air superiority, did not launch an attack on the US troops in Nicaragua as the US Army had predicted.

Even in a few brief contacts with the U.S. Army, the Red Guard Corps abandoned several defensive lines in Nicaragua, allowing the U.S. Army to taste the sweetness in a brief contact battle.

A large number of U.S. M3 and M2 tank groups, covering the soldiers of the U.S. Army, continuously broke through the forward defense line of the Red Police Corps in Nicaragua.

Freshly retreated from the Philippines and defeated by the Japanese army, Eisenhower felt that he had completely regained his self-confidence.

In Southeast Asia, Eisenhower, who was driven back to the United States by the Japanese like a duck, became the commander-in-chief of the Southern Theater Army, and then launched a large-scale counteroffensive.

After a few brief encounters, the Red Guard completely withdrew from the occupied Nicaraguan front and advanced into Panamanian territory.

After a few victories, Eisenhower seemed to have the feeling of becoming a famous general, thinking deeply about various offensive strategies, and the staff officers around him barely had a chance to interject.

The entire front-line command is nothing more than Eisenhower's words.

After summing up the experience of a large number of defeats at the hands of the Japanese army, Eisenhower felt that he was suddenly at a full level and invincible.

In his hands there was a large amount of analysis of the operational intelligence of the German army, as well as an analysis of the operational results of the army from the Soviet Union.

He immediately found the enemy's weakness, that is, the enemy's artillery inferiority in a defensive state.

After fully understanding the principles of blitzkrieg in Europe, he was suddenly full of confidence, and in the command headquarters that day, he said: "To put it bluntly, there is nothing remarkable about blitzkrieg, it is nothing more than to invest armored forces to tear open the enemy's opening, and then invest more troops to penetrate deep into the enemy's hinterland from this opening." ”

At the subsequent tactical seminar, he even said: "I will use a blitzkrieg belonging to the United States to completely defeat the enemy in Panama in three days and regain control of the Panama Canal." ”

In the early hours of the next day, the Army in the Southern Theater of the United States, which had just resumed its offensive, received cheering and encouraging good news, just as Eisenhower had envisioned.

Once again, the American forces broke through the enemy's defenses, advancing the battlefield to an area less than forty kilometers from Panama City.

After more than a dozen attacks, it advanced hundreds of kilometers, and it seemed that Eisenhower's previous statements in the headquarters were also carried out.

A large number of American military reporters also reported all this, and Eisenhower seemed to have walked out of the trough and shadow of his life all at once.

However, when MacArthur saw the report of the entire battle, he broke out in a cold sweat and immediately reminded Eisenhower: "It is entirely possible that the previous victory was deliberately conceded by the enemy, and the enemy was planning to completely annihilate the 500,000 US Army on the front line. ”

In fact, MacArthur did not say a word, it was swearing, and in MacArthur's view, Eisenhower was really unreliable, and an enemy who could easily occupy Hawaii and Panama could not be so simple.

In the victories that the United States has touted so much, the enemy's losses have been minimal, and most of them have taken the initiative to withdraw from the defensive line.

In such a situation, as an attacking force, it should be more cautious than march all the way.

The main thing is that MacArthur thought that Eisenhower's head was a mess of mush, and that he was trying to prove himself without a rational gaze and a view and judgment of the situation.

MacArthur shared MacArthur's vision with Lieutenant General Patton, commander of the Eighth Army on the Eastern Front, who, in direct disobedience to Eisenhower's orders, ordered his troops to stop attacking the enemy who had ceded their positions.

However, the Eighth Army of the US Army, which stopped advancing, was only a small part, and the army under his control was less than 40,000 troops, and these 40,000 people were just a drizzle compared to the 500,000 US Army on the whole line.

The commanders of the other four main armies were almost obedient to Eisenhower's orders, which also led to a result that MacArthur feared the most.

The main force of the US Southern Theater Army, a full 460,000 troops, directly plunged headlong into the encirclement of the Red Guard Corps.

It's as if someone has brought a pillow after being dozing, and as soon as a pit is dug, someone can't wait to jump in.

In the Panama Forward Command of the Red Police Expeditionary Corps, General Shen Hao, the commander-in-chief of front-line operations, looked at the main force of the US army that rushed into the ambush circle with some incredulity.

Shen Hao didn't believe that the Americans would be fooled so easily, so he made a lot of preparations to lure the enemy into depth, but all of them were useless.

It was like playing at home, the war was as agreed with Eisenhower from the very beginning, and everything was so natural and without any waves.

For this reason, he even doubted that this was not deliberate on the part of the Americans.

As a result, it has been verified several times that on the battlefield, except for the main force of the US army, there is no possibility of a large-scale build-up of the US Army at all.

"Is this really Eisenhower? It's too fake. Shen Hao shook his head at the command headquarters.

If you don't do it again, you will be sorry for the Americans who are so cooperative, and in the command center, Shen Hao issued a series of combat orders: "Order the troops, in accordance with the original encirclement plan, to launch a comprehensive encirclement of the main force of the US army, and the air force will all be dispatched." ”

The command headquarters at all levels instantly moved, and a large number of troops began to operate.

The U.S. Army, which was advancing rapidly, soon encountered a real battle.

In the following time, there were constantly battle reports gathered into the forward headquarters.

On the huge virtual map in front of Shen Hao, there were staff officers holding battle reports and coming to report the battle situation.

A staff officer pointed to an area on the map and reported: "The 33rd Infantry Division is setting up a defensive line in Penomy City in the Central Theater, and is engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with American troops. ”

"General Zhan Tianyu's Seventh Armored Army is assembling and standby, and the two armored battalions of the Seventh Armored Army are carrying out a limited counterattack against the US army."

"The 13th Panzer Army is making a detour, the first encirclement is about to be formed, it is expected that there are nearly 200,000 US troops in the encirclement, their fuel supply lines have been cut off by the 13th Panzer Army, most of the artillery units have been destroyed by the Air Force, and the Air Force is further bombing the target ammunition depots in the first encirclement."

Another staff officer stepped forward and pointed to the forward position at the core point of the encirclement and said: "The 113th Infantry Division has lost an infantry battalion in the face of the frantic attack of the First Army of the US Army, but the defensive line is still firmly in our hands, and the battle loss rate of the 113th Infantry Division is still within an acceptable range. ”

Immediately afterwards, another staff officer trotted over and reported: "The 14th Panzer Army has completed the encirclement of the enemy in Area 3, and the left flank has begun to launch a cluster attack on the US Third Panzer Army in the encirclement, and in the report, General Yi Chuan, commander of the 14th Panzer Army, said that although the US Army has resisted stubbornly, the advance speed of the 14th Panzer Army has not slowed down, and it is guaranteed that the US Third Panzer Army in the encirclement will be annihilated within the required time. ”

Twenty-four hours later, Lieutenant General Liu, chief of staff of the forward command headquarters, reported to Shen Hao: "The US army has invested a large number of ground artillery in the central area of the encirclement, all of which are large-caliber heavy artillery, which has caused some obstacles to our attack. ”

Shen Hao nodded and asked, "How many U.S. troops have entered our encirclement at present?" ”

On the map at this moment, a large number of encirclements have been formed, like a huge circular defensive position of the Death Scythe, tightly connected and interlocking.

The 400,000 main forces of the US Army have long been divided.

"On the Eastern Front, Patton's troops have 40,000 main forces that have not entered our pockets, and it is estimated that there may be about 50,000 troops.

In the center and west, the US forces are all under siege, and we can launch a full-scale offensive at any time. ”

"Eight hours later, I ordered the troops to start a full-scale attack, put all our heavy equipment into battle, and the three hundred bombers that the headquarters had just supported me, and don't save me aerial bombs." Shen Hao looked at the vast detailed map in front of him and ordered.

The troop structure of the two sides, 300,000 troops, encircling more than 400,000 US troops, and 200,000 troops directly attacking northward, bypassing the eastern and western coastal lines, cutting off the retreat of the US Army, and cutting off the connection between the encircled US forces and the rear.

The 200,000 troops attacking will also launch a full-scale attack on Nicaragua after the general offensive begins, completely advancing the battlefield to the border of Honduras.

After the 500,000 troops are mobilized, the expeditionary force still has 200,000 reserve troops in Panama City, and once all the encircled American troops cannot be destroyed in time in the war of annihilation, the 200,000 reserves will also be fully committed to the American army.

This was the encirclement plan of the Panama campaign of the Red Alert Expeditionary Force.

From the very beginning, Eisenhower was already in the middle of the scheme, even if he could see through it, but the United States wanted to occupy Panama. hope, nature will dominate the Americans, and no matter how to avoid it, the US military will inevitably attack Panama.

Even if the United States senses something and increases its troops, the Red Guard Corps will invest more combat troops.

This is a decisive battle, an inevitable decisive battle.

At this moment, Shen Hao knew very well that Eisenhower had completely understood the situation of the US military, but so what, this battle was no longer something that could be changed by command ability.

From the very beginning, the U.S. military has fallen into a situation of encirclement, and there is not enough strategic foresight, and when everything has become a foregone conclusion, unless the U.S. soldiers can exert their combat effectiveness beyond that of the Red Alert soldiers, there will be no change in the battlefield.

After a day of fighting, the battle plan of the US troops at all levels could not be achieved on time, the advance of the troops was blocked, the logistics were cut off, and many trucks were abandoned on the side of the road because they had no fuel.

In the next few hours, in the area of continuous fighting, the fierce fighting between the two sides did not come to an end, and the battlefield encirclement reached a length of dozens of kilometers.

But it's too late.
