Li Xiaozu wrote hard in front of the case, his folds are an important basis for judging the situation in North America today, with an average of three ~ four days to submit the speed, now the empire has opened the air mail business to North America, the fastest five days can arrive in the mainland.

Since the outbreak of the second US-Japan war in September last year, it has been more than half a year until the end of March.

Fuso won one and lost one in two key battles, especially in the attack on the Gallup fortress area, and the heavy logistical burden caused by a large number of casualties also made the Japanese base camp more sober.

The Mi Guoyan is not a soft persimmon, they defend more artillery, more ammunition, better army equipment, although the battle has not been as tenacious as the Tsarist Russia, but don't forget that this is the United States Yankee native combat, in a desperate situation can glow the courage to die and survive.

Therefore, on the one hand, the Japanese army actively prepared for war, and on the other hand, it attempted to break the will of the American troops to resist in the Gallup fortress area by airdropping letters from American prisoners of war and shouting through the air.

The Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, Admiral Fred C. Ainsworth, was trapped in the Gallup area, and his personal action greatly stimulated the will of the American army to resist, making it difficult for the Japanese army to break morale.

The United States and Japan have just started their aviation careers, and their existing aircraft design and manufacturing capabilities cannot support large-scale air battles at all, so they have no choice but to import a large number of first-generation "Spindle" fighters and "Vixen" light bombers from the Ocean Empire to engage in fierce air battles in the Gallup area and Denver.

According to Admiral Fred's request, the United States imported 360 "shrew" light bombers, and carried out large-scale airdrops and aerial bombing of the Gallup area for the first time in the world, the main materials of the airdrop were various medicines, and each messenger transport plane could carry two drop boxes, each of which weighed about 95 pounds.

Peak periods

Hundreds of US transport planes are able to airdrop medicines to the Gallop area, with a daily scale of more than 50 tons, with an average of two flights per plane.

This greatly alleviated the shortage of medicines in the fortified areas and treated a large number of wounded soldiers.

At the same time as the airdrop of medicines, the US military airdropped the soldiers' letters home, which greatly encouraged the soldiers' courage to continue fighting.

According to current statistics;

The United States and Japan imported a total of 1,330 "Spindle" fighter jets, with the more economically powerful United States accounting for the majority. About a third of the losses have already been made in months of fighting, and the losses of imported "vixen" light bombers are even more serious, with the US military importing 360 planes at the beginning, and roughly estimating the losses to be between 150 and 160 planes.

The Japanese army imported 66 "shrew" light bombers, and also lost more than half.

In the skies of North America

Fighter jets and light bombers of the same model produced in the Ocean Empire roared back and forth, and the fuselage was painted with different flags of the United States and Japan, fighting fiercely, and interpreting a magnificent air battle scene.

Since 2/17/16

After months of preparation, the Japanese launched another offensive in the Gallup area, and the bloody battle has lasted for more than a month, and with the support of powerful artillery, significant progress has been made.

The U.S. military defense line on the Colorado Plateau Fortress broke through two lines one after another, and the eastern defense line was also captured, reducing the entire fortified area by more than half, and its scope was reduced from more than 170 square kilometers to less than 80 square kilometers, and phased results were achieved.

After the outbreak of the second Battle of Gallup in the New Year, in order to relieve the huge defensive pressure in the Gallup area, the U.S. Army launched a full-scale offensive in the north on February 23, the Battle of Denver, which concentrated 420,000 troops to storm the Japanese defense line, and the battle was quite bloody and tragic.

Before the war, the U.S. military concentrated more than 2,100 large and medium-caliber artillery pieces and carried out a 12-hour wanton bombardment of the Japanese troops on the defense line of Colorado City, consuming a total of more than 1.4 million shells.

In the face of heavy firepower, the Japanese ground troops suffered heavy casualties, they did not build the same solid trench defense line on the Western Front in Europe, did not have a perfect anti-artillery trench system up to 30 feet deep, and the 11th and 22nd Divisions at the front, with a total of more than 46,000 officers and soldiers, suffered as many as 29,000 casualties in the artillery attack, and the first shot was disabled.

However, the Japanese combat effectiveness was indeed fierce, and even with such heavy casualties, the remaining Japanese troops still launched a counterattack on the spot, using hidden bunker heavy machine gun positions to inflict fire on the densely attacking American troops.

The Japanese troops on the second line in the rear quickly reinforced, and fought hard for 4 days, in the face of the American troops who were pressing on a large scale, the Japanese army lost three lines of defense in Colorado in a row, and had to continue to survive.

The Japanese left more than 4,200 remnants of the Matsumoto Brigade to defend in the ruins of the city of Colorado in order to delay the pace of the American offensive, and the remaining 115,000 remnants of the defeated army quickly retreated more than 70 kilometers, returning to the line from Pueblo to Fort Watson, meeting with the local garrison of more than 30,000, and continuing to hold the defensive line.

At this point, the U.S. military pulled back a game in the Denver Line and won the Battle of Denver.

Looking back at the second US-Japan war now, it seems that we can see the shadow of the European war.

The scale of the battle, the heavy casualties, and the fact that the two sides refused to give in to each other like bulls were the characteristics of the Second US-Japanese War. The Japanese army's attacking spirit gradually wore away in one battle after another, and it already showed a feeling of inadequacy.

The first phase of the battle, which lasted 58 days of bloody fighting, ended before Christmas last year, and the two sides of the battle were like wounded beasts, licking their wounds and regaining strength.

The second phase of fighting, which began on 17 February, has been going on for more than a month.

The U.S. forces holding on to the Gallup fortress area were gradually unable to support them, and the defeat was already apparent, but they also inflicted heavy casualties on the attacking Japanese troops.

After a short break, the US military launched the Battle of Pueblo and the Battle of Fort Watson in early March, and a total of 550,000 troops from both sides fought fierce battles in a vast area of more than 300 square kilometers.

And the Japanese troops who attacked the Gallup fortress gritted their teeth and continued to attack in the rain of bullets.

Neither the United States nor Japan dared to breathe a sigh of relief, if the Japanese army took the lead in breaking through the Gallup fortress, then it would mean that the Japanese army had won the first victory, and the battle in the north would naturally collapse, and there was no need to continue.

If the U.S. forces were to break through Fort Watson first, they would have only a chance to make a big stride, like a fierce lion breaking into the soft hinterland and counterattacking into the New Mexico region.

Then the Japanese army was in danger and faced the terrible prospect of collapse.

Although Fuso continuously sent troops to the front, after all, the road was too far away and the cost was too high, and there was gradually a feeling that he could not afford to fight.

In the second attack on the Gallup Fortress, the Japanese army bombarded fiercely for an hour and a half in the preparation of artillery fire before the battle, consuming 23,000 rounds of artillery shells, which was already a big deal.

In the battle of Pueblo, the US military once again sacrificed the weapon of "ammunition of the industrial countries" and concentrated more than 1,850 large and medium-caliber artillery pieces to bombard it for two days and two nights, and fired more than 1.2 million shells again, blowing the entire defense line to pieces.

Nearly half of the Japanese casualties were caused by American artillery fire.

More than eighty percent of the casualties of the US military were killed or injured by bullets in battle, and only more than 10 percent of the casualties were caused by artillery, and they were mainly small and medium-sized artillery.

Now the United States and Japan are fighting fiercely, and the exact number of casualties cannot be counted.

According to a rough estimate

By the end of March, the Japanese casualties should be in the order of 6~80,000, and the casualties of the American army should be in the order of 7.5~100,000. The Japanese army had higher fighting skills, and its fighting style was more tenacious and fierce.

Take, for example, the Battle of the Ruins of Colorado Springs;

The remnants of the Matsumoto Brigade of more than 4,200 Japanese troops who remained behind knew that they would die, and frantically counterattacked in the ruins of the city and hidden bunkers, causing serious casualties to the American troops who attacked in a dense formation.

The U.S. military had to stop, plough the ground inch by inch with artillery fire, and remove them one by one like digging rats, and fought hard for six days before taking the captive, and the U.S. military suffered as many as 16,472 casualties, of which as many as 10,000 were killed, which seriously dragged down the attempt of the US military top brass to quickly launch the next campaign.

All members of the Japanese Matsumoto Brigade were killed, and only 11 Japanese soldiers who were stunned by the shells were captured, but after waking up, these Japanese soldiers tried to grab their guns and resisted, seven were killed, three with knives and the Americans perished, and one fell in despair on the ammunition box full of grenades and pulled a grenade.

The explosion of the ammunition box caused casualties among more than 20 US officers and men, and the news was reported to the US military command, causing a huge shock.

The ferocity of the Fusang people, the tenacity of their will to fight, and the fighting style of never retreating like a dog's skin plaster made the Mi Guoyan feel a deep headache, and he clearly realized that solving the problem of the occupied area of Fusang was by no means an overnight problem, and it may be a long-term process.

This kind of dog skin plaster sticks to the body, and it hurts to tear it off.

Li Xiaozu was in North America, and he could feel the cruelty of the war more intuitively, and a large number of seriously wounded Japanese soldiers were transferred to hospitals all over North America by train, not by the number of people, but by the number of trains.

Of course, this kind of medical treatment is not in vain.

At the same time, it has also stimulated the great development of medical services in the north, and there are more than 2,300 professors and students in the Medical University of Brisbane in North America, and more than 170 hospitals and medical groups of various kinds.

Through clinical diagnosis and treatment, the development of surgery has been greatly promoted, so far there have been more than 20 kinds of newly invented surgeries, hundreds of medical papers that have reached the world's advanced level, and economic interests are secondary.

Since the beginning of this year, 11 medium- and large-scale hospitals have been built one after another, providing strong medical logistics support for the Japanese troops at the front.

There is no way, the Republic of Arizona, which is supported by the Fuso people, is sparsely populated, and there is a blank in terms of medical supplies and assistance, and there are no basic conditions for diagnosis and treatment.

All of this can only rely on the North American Governor's Office to help, otherwise more than eighty percent of these seriously injured will die, and less than two percent can carry it, these are Yamato warriors!

No matter how much debt they bear, the Japanese army base camp will not give up on treatment.

The reason for the North American Governor's Office to intervene was humanitarian assistance, and these seriously wounded Japanese soldiers could be saved, and the recovery period would take at least three or five months, and many of them would be accompanied by lifelong disabilities, and they would definitely not be able to go to war again.

The people of the United States can't do anything about it, it's definitely useless to protest, and they can only pinch their noses and endure it.
