On October 14, 1912, after the repair, the American army continued to launch a fierce attack by the Japanese army, and the battle was very fierce.

Led by the indiscriminate bombardment of artillery fire, the U.S. forces took turns to send armored units, cavalry, and infantry to attack, and the two sides repeatedly fought over the front line between Wagenmand and Las Vegas.

After the border battle, only 41,000 Japanese troops were left in Las Vegas, and the number of civilians was re-replenished to 65,000, replenishing 60% of the lost troops.

The 4th and 6th Divisions, which had just been replenished with male Japanese immigrants, were brave and tenacious in battle, but their strength declined and were crippled in the two-week bloody battle.

The fully equipped Xiaolin Independent Mixed Brigade was pulled up and fought for 4 days, and only more than 2,790 of the more than 8,700 people were able to come back with all their beards and tails, and their strength was reduced by two-thirds, which shows that the cruelty of the battle is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

On November 29, following the fall of Wagenmande, Las Vegas also fell, and the U.S. army reached Santa Fe, the second largest city in the New Mexico region. Behind Santa Fe, the trunk road connects to the core town of Abququiqui, where the Japanese Fifth Division (lacking the 21st Brigade) is stationed.

At this time, General Gentaro Kodama of the North American Coalition Forces Command was facing an extremely dangerous situation, his troops were too small, and the total number of officers and soldiers who had been hit hard again was only 33,000, plus the two independent brigades reinforced by the Arizona area, and the seventh brigade under the Fifth Division, he had a total of 58,000 soldiers.

If you add in the 45,000 armed civilians urgently recruited, it is worth 100,000.

These 100,000 people are the last capital of Fuso's desperate efforts, in addition to the overly remote colonization sites and Japanese immigrants trapped in the US-occupied areas, and minus the more than 90,000 Japanese immigrants in Arizona, this is already the largest military force that the Japanese side can gather.

Of the total 360,000 North American immigrants, men account for more than 8 percent, that is, 300,000, and the above three statistics should be subtracted by more than half, armed civilians have been killed and wounded more than 30,000 people, and another 45,000 people have been conscripted, and the rest of the manpower is used as civilian soldiers, which can be said to be all soldiers.

Relying on the advantages of local operations, the U.S. military has continuously reinforced its troops, and now it has gathered 240,000 troops, and Mount Tai is overwhelming.

For the Japanese army, if they lose the core town of Albuquerke, they will completely lose the New Mexico region, and there is basically no heavy defense from here to Arizona, which can be described as entering a no-man's land.

If it really goes that far

General Gentaro Kodama could only commit suicide by breaking his stomach to thank the emperor, and was nailed to the pillar of shame in history as a criminal minister who lost his city and land, and could never be forgiven by the Yamato nation, and his descendants lived with a deep condemnation for generations.

This is really sadder than death for General Gentaro Kodama who regards honor as his life, and it is absolutely unacceptable.

The second, ninth, thirteenth, and sixteenth divisions of the Japanese mainland reinforcements that the Ocean Empire was responsible for transporting, and the ninth division, which was the first to be shipped, just set off from Nagoya on October 15 and is expected to arrive in Seattle in the past two days, and then transfer to the south by train, which lasted 5 days and 5 nights to arrive in Los Angeles, and then from Los Angeles to the west along the highway, through about 560 kilometers of desert Gobi Highway to Abuquerki.

Even at the fastest speed, the 9th Division will need more than 10 days, and if you look at the current situation, where can you hold out for 10 days?

The stubborn offensive of the US army at any cost reenacted the tragedy of the Civil War, losing 87,000 officers and soldiers (total casualties) in the Border Battle and the Battle of Las Vegas, but still gritted its teeth to maintain the vigorous offensive momentum.

Thanks to the advantages of local warfare, and the people of the United States are holding their breath in their hearts, now the East Coast and Central States of the United States fully support this home war, and even the southern states, which have always been indifferent, have sent 6 militia divisions to support the front line, and the divided state of California alone has sent 2 militia divisions and 4 independent militia regiments, with a total of 31,000 troops. This would be unthinkable in normal times.

It should be noted that this war has greatly condensed the national consciousness of the people of the United States, stimulated high patriotic feelings, and the hatred of the Fuso people from all over the country, and many white and enthusiastic young people actively participated in the war.

The Democratic Party's presidential candidate ~ former Secretary of State Davon Porter, in the poll competition with the Republican presidential candidate William Howard Taft (former Secretary of the Army) before the vote, rose sharply from 33.6% before the outbreak of the war to 45.7%, an increase of 12 percentage points in just over 20 days, and successfully achieved a turnaround, and the strong upward momentum was fully revealed, which is the bonus factor brought by the war.

William Howard Taft's approval rating has plummeted from 51.3 percent to 42.2 percent, a sharp drop of nearly 9 percent, and many middle voters have chosen to vote for Davon Porter, who is a strong advocate of war, leaving him in a very unfavorable situation, and the cooked duck may be flying.

Historically, William Howard Taft was the next president to succeed Theodore Roosevelt, but today's history has changed again and again, and it has long been no longer what it was at the beginning, making his path to the presidency even more elusive.

This can be reflected from the side

After being ruthlessly beaten by the Ocean Empire, Mi Guo, once the world's largest industrial and economic power, was no longer willing to endure humiliation, and crouched under the Dongying dwarf, who was generally only 1.5 or 1.6 meters tall, gritted his teeth and vowed to win this battle.

After the outbreak of the first war between the United States and Japan, public opinion across the country boiled, and the call for support for the front line rose one after another, which effectively boosted the election of Democratic presidential candidate Davin Porter.

The people of the United States experienced the extremely bloody Civil War, and they fought extremely tenaciously in the North American War, with a good ability to bear casualties and the courage to make sacrifices.

Helplessly, the gap in strength was too big, and the heavy army group of 100,000 people was wiped out, even with the size of the United States, it could not bear it, so it had to bow its head and sign the alliance under the city.

In the "New York Times" and other mainstream media, the Ocean Empire is generally called a "white regime", which means "there is no shame in losing to the whites", the Napoleonic Emperor who crisscrossed Europe and the Battle of Waterloo, the Ocean Empire is the world's top power, what is so strange about losing?

However, the United States cannot lose to the Fuso people in any case, and must win this war that boosts the morale of the people, regain the lost territory, and restore the glory of the first power in the Americas.

In the face of the decline of the battlefield

After careful consideration, General Gentaro Kodama chose to strategically abandon Santa Fe, the second largest city, withdraw his forces, and go all out to defend Albuquerke, for two reasons;

The first is the lack of troops, and the second is that the Abqeeji form is more conducive to defense.

Albuquerque's oasis in the middle of the Gobi Desert, where the main highways from north to south converge, and the region's rolling hills and mountains seem to be the only option.

The U.S. military also knows that time is urgent, and a large reinforcement from the Japanese mainland is about to arrive on the west coast, and as time goes by, the Japanese side will inevitably gather more and more resistance momentum.

Fusang, this hard bone, who bites it, knows, it really knocked out a mouthful of teeth full of blood, and I know that I am bitter!

Therefore, the Mi people did not hesitate to cross Santa Fe, and the vanguard cavalry unit was on fire at about 10:00 a.m. on October 31, and the Japanese defense troops were fired, officially opening the tragic defensive battle of Albuquerque.

The Japanese side fought with 103,000 men against the US side with 240,000, while the Japanese side suffered 103,000 casualties, one less one, and the US side of 240,000 is only the current number.

Therefore, the total number of US troops has been growing steadily.

The Japanese troops who retreated to Abukikoy urgently filled the remnants of the 4th and 5th Divisions and the remnants of the Kobayashi Mixed Brigade, re-staffing and exceeding the original size of the soldiers, but their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, their weapons and equipment were also incomplete, and there was a serious shortage of heavy machine guns and artillery.

Armed civilians had just been filled into the troops, and before they had time to familiarize themselves with the situation, the attacking US troops attacked again, and the unreasonable artillery fire was a fierce bombardment, which fully demonstrated the strong ammunition supply capacity of the industrial countries, and they did not know how to save at all.

It takes 4~5 hours to prepare for a dozen artillery fires, and then the infantry of the whole company and battalion will attack, wave after wave.

If it can't be defeated, then the artillery fire will be bombarded again, and the infantry will attack again, and so on.

Fortunately, the armored vehicles at the beginning of the war in the United States have been almost worn out, and the quality of the armored vehicles that can still fight is not good.

Otherwise, the defending Japanese army will be under even greater pressure.

After the U.S. forces pressed on a large scale, they launched attacks from the eastern, northern, and southern directions of the city at the same time, and throughout the day the cannon roared, shouting and killing incessantly, the gunfire was like raindrops, and endless blood filled the sky over the city of Albuquerke, and the sound of killing shook the heavens and the earth.

After 3 consecutive days of fierce attack, the Japanese army lost most of the positions outside the city, and at the rate of 5,500~6,000 casualties per day, nearly 20,000 casualties in three days.

Each emigrant here costs hundreds of Imperial Kinyo, which is equivalent to 350 yen, which is just the cost of the journey by car and boat, and in order to settle these immigrants, the Fuso State will need to spend more.

This is just the cost of an immigrant, and the military has to be multiplied by 2 or 3.

To this day, hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers have been lost in battle, and after three years of tightening its belt, the huge amount of money spent by Fuso has been wasted, and the achievements of agricultural and industrial colonization that have just formed its own self-sufficiency have been burned.

Fuso is poor!

It was not easy to reduce the huge war loan to 1.6 billion yen, but I heard that another 800 million yen was borrowed at once, and the transoceanic expedition was a super expensive military operation, often in the hundreds of millions, and this caused an unimaginably huge pressure on the economy of the weak Fuso country.

General Gentaro Kodama's eyes were bloodshot, and he suddenly pulled out the shiny command knife at his waist and shouted; "Officers and men of the First Army, the honor and disgrace of the empire are here in this battle, and our soldiers bear the ardent hope of His Majesty the Emperor to open up territories beyond thousands of miles of waves.

Now I command;

All the troops hold their positions and are not allowed to take a step back, and the commander will personally go to the front-line position in the south of the city, swearing to be with the position, and if anyone retreats, there will be no mercy. ”

The generals and officers of the General Headquarters all bowed and saluted, and rushed to the position they were responsible for to supervise the battle without hesitation, their expressions full of fighting spirit and murderous spirit.

General Gentaro Kodama looked at the empty headquarters with a lonely expression, hesitated for a moment, and turned to his student Kenji Yokoji Daisa;

"The U.S. army is attacking more and more fiercely, and the reinforcements from the empire are far away and cannot quench their thirst, so for now, the only way to do this is to ask the expeditionary force of the Ocean Empire to help and record the message;

His Excellency Duke Li Xuanzhu, Marshal of the Ocean Empire Expeditionary Force

At this time when the society is in crisis, all the officers and men of the Fuso country and the North American General Headquarters are looking forward to it day and night, and implore the commander to lend a helping hand and try to save the edifice from falling down, so that the Yamato nation will not be defeated, and the whole country will be fortunate.

Great kindness, unforgettable.

In ancient times, there was charcoal in the snow, and the wind of justice and righteousness was admired by the world.

Today, the handsome man holds a strong soldier and lives high in the Rocky Mountains, overlooking the land of North America.

I can't do it, but I don't want it!

Now our side is in danger, the achievements of reclamation in the past few years are likely to be lost, and hundreds of thousands of people are facing the catastrophe of annihilation.

The grace of life will be repaid by swearing.

General Gentaro Kodama Gentaro, the commander-in-chief of Fuso North America, bowed his head again and begged for help, and if he could escape this disaster, General Yu would go to Salt Lake City to kneel down and thank the marshal for his great kindness, and he would never forget it. ”

This was a telegram with earnest words and a very low posture, and General Gentaro Kodama was also forced to send such a humiliating telegram for help.

His status is extremely important, enough to represent the opinion of the Army General Staff Headquarters, and even Fuso State.

Yokoji Kenji Daisa bowed deeply and deeply with a sad expression, and said hissedly; "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, our army still has the strength to fight, and it is far from exhausting, please take back your order, and our first officers and soldiers will go forward to fight to the death and live and die with the city."

"Eight grids...... Confused, the interests of the Great Fuso Empire will always be in the first place, what is personal honor and disgrace? General Gentaro Kodama reprimanded the student mercilessly, and a trace of disappointment inevitably flashed in his eyes, he was disappointed that the student could not see his good intentions;

"With the prestige of Marshal Li of the Ocean Empire Expeditionary Force resounding throughout North America, as long as he sends a word, it is enough to reach 100,000 troops.

What is the personal honor of my commander-in-chief in North America, it is just a floating cloud in front of interests.

If this move can make the US side fall into a trap and leave our army a chance to breathe, when a steady stream of local reinforcements arrive, it will be able to stabilize the current dangerous situation, which will be of great benefit to the country and the army.

Marshal Li can reap our heartfelt gratitude, so why not?

Surrendering and following the strong is the way for the weak to survive, and if one day, the Great Fuso Empire can break free from the shackles of Britain and the Great Ocean Empire, and proudly stand among the nations of the world with a strong and independent attitude.

Today's move is also a good story.

Yokoji-kun remembered that there was no shame in asking for help when he was weak, and he could only commit suicide by breaking his stomach to thank the emperor if he lost his city and land, leaving behind endless infamy.

Isn't it obvious where to go? ”

"Understood, teacher, I'm going to send the telegram." Yokoji Kenji Daizo took the order with a sad expression, revealing a resolute taste.

General Gentaro Kodama sighed with a gloomy expression;

This person is also innocent, but unfortunately he doesn't know how to be flexible, and his heart is not ruthless enough, and at most he can reach the level of major general brigade commander.
