As the time progresses into November, the northern hemisphere also begins to slowly enter the cold winter with cold winds howling. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf the Gulf Coast is still green and full of flowers because of its relatively low dimension, then Donghai Province (formerly Duluth, Minnesota), located in the northernmost province of the Americas, has already been covered in silver under the influence of the Labrador cold current and the continental cold air mass.

However, even though the Tokai Prefecture on the western shore of Lake Subelil has been covered in heavy snow, it can't stop the people from celebrating!

I saw that it was originally located in the southwestern suburbs of Duluth, which used to be just an overgrown area of weeds and barren rocks, but now it is covered with bright red silk cloth, which symbolizes festivity!

People gathered around a railway station that had obviously just been built, and celebrated the birth of this new railway that winds south, leads to New Orleans on the Gulf Coast, and connects all the provinces and cities in the Americas except Youzhou with the entire Huojiajun except Youzhou through three railroads to the Pacific Ocean!

Of course, this new railroad was built 40 kilometers along the west bank of the Mississippi River, the west bank of the St. Croix River, and the west bank of Lake Superior, north to Linhu County, which is located on the Canadian border, and south to New Orleans, Texas! What is even more prominent is its military role!

Of course, that's why it was able to open to traffic in two years!

"Fortunately, on both sides of the Mississippi River are wide, flat plains, and there are some railroads built by the Americans in the past. Otherwise, I am afraid that it will be difficult to complete the construction of this railway in only two years!" In view of the great significance of the opening of this railway to the Huo Jiajun American Military Region. Therefore, today, the three giants of the military region, Commander Wu Guangzong, Political Commissar Wenming, Chief of Staff Wang Xiangzong, and some deputies and staff officers of the Military Region Headquarters almost all attended the celebration of the completion of the eastern line of the American Railway Network!

"What the commander said is yes! But no matter what, this railway has finally been completed! In the future, the more than 1 million troops of our Huojia Army and the American Military Region will be able to rely on convenient railway transportation. Mutual support, so that against the Americans is also an insurance policy!" Wenming said with a look of agreement.

"Yes, according to the intelligence provided by the Military Intelligence Agency and the Military Department. This time, the Americans have prepared more than 1.5 million troops in the northern, central, and southern areas, and it can be said that apart from some of them remaining in their hometowns to maintain local stability, the Americans have taken out all the strength they can accumulate over the past two years! The pressure we are facing this time is not light!

"How. Xiangzong, scared?" Wu Guangzong glanced at the man beside him. He asked with a smile on his face.

Even if the Americans have used two years to build a formidable army, we have not been idle in the past two years, and as long as these foreign devils dare to attack this time, then we will not be stingy with guns and bullets! Let them have the taste of annihilation again!"

After hearing this, after the three of them looked at each other a few times, they couldn't help but laugh out loud with confidence! Although the number of Americans' troops had already surpassed that of the Huo family's army. Moreover, for more than two years, the technology for the production of new rifles and machine guns has been acquired by various means, and after mass production, a large number of troops have been equipped. However, in terms of firepower, the US ** team is still far from the Huo Jiajun, which has been preparing for a long time! Not to mention anything else, the number of machine guns in the 21 integrated infantry divisions of the Huo Jiajun has now reached 250, while the number of light and heavy machine guns in the same division of the United States is only about 54, and it is only the divisions under the jurisdiction of the first 10 US armies that can reach this establishment, and the latter ones range from 20 to 30!

Speaking of artillery, a standard infantry division of the Huojia Army has 98 60 mortars, 62 82mm medium mortars, 48 70mm army guns, 12 105mm light howitzers, 24 120mm heavy mortars, and 6 152mm heavy howitzers! Originally, the number of 105mm caliber and 152mm caliber howitzers of the Huojia Army was more than double this, but its heavy tonnage seriously limited their mobility, making these big guys often unable to keep up with the movement speed of the troops.

Therefore, after the consideration of the Huo Family Army Military Department, it took the initiative to reduce the number of large-caliber howitzers, and relatively increased the number of lighter mortars to ensure the firepower of the troops!

But even so, a division-level unit of the Huo Jiajun, even if you don't count mortars, the number of field guns has reached 64, far more than the 36 of the Americans, almost twice as many as the Americans, if you add mortars of various calibers, then this multiple will be even more amazing!

If you add a few artillery divisions formed separately by the Huo Family Army, which have been strengthened to the American Military Region, then the artillery firepower of the Huo Family Army will be even more amazing!

Of course, these are just comparisons of light and heavy firepower such as machine guns, artillery, etc. In addition, the many pillboxes and fortifications that almost spread all over the west banks of the Mississippi River, the Ohio River, the Wabash River, and other rivers were also part of the Huo Family's army's confidence in defeating the enemy!

"Woo......!"

With a huge roar and the sound of piercing steel colliding with each other, a train with 21 carriages tied with festive red silk at the head of the train slowly drove into the station!

Unlike in the past, Huo Jiajun's locomotives were ordered from abroad, and almost all of this train was produced by Huo Jiajun himself! Moreover, the manufacturer was the Overseas Chinese Town (San Francisco) Locomotive Factory, which is subordinate to the Huojia American Industrial Group! In addition, the reason why this large machinery factory, which was able to produce 50 locomotives and 420 carriages a year, was established in more than two years was also with the help of the production equipment and workers of the Americans in Chicago!

However, these are no longer important, the important thing is that Huo Jiajun's industry has been truly established through various means, although this is just a simple production and manufacturing, and it is still very early to establish a complete R&D system like Europe, but this is a rare progress for Huo Jiajun, who has been established for a short time, no matter what!

"Commander Wu, Commissar Wen, Chief of Staff Wang, and everyone, I think we can go up together!" Lin Changtao, who was dressed in a neat black Han suit, as the governor of Xuzhou Province and also came to attend the railway completion ceremony today, said with a smile.

"Hehe, Lao Lin! Don't be so polite, you are the head of a province now, not when you were in the army before!" Wu Guangzong waved his hand and said.

Hearing this, Lin Changtao smiled faintly, "Commander, please get in the car first!"

Although he was transferred from deputy political commissar of the 1st Marine Division to vice governor of Nansha Province, and two years ago he was promoted again to governor of Xuzhou Province, Wu Guangzong was his old leader. Although the Huo Jiajun pays attention to the fact that the army does not interfere in politics and does not care about the army, this level of personal relations cannot be changed! Even within the Huo Family's army!

Therefore, whether in private or publicly, he always has a respect for Wu Guangzong in his heart!

Looking at the insistent expression on his face, Wu Guangzong shook his head helplessly, patted him on the shoulder, and then took his arm and walked on the train together!

"Commander, I'm afraid it's not long before this war between us and the Americans finally breaks out, right?" Lin Changtao asked with a worried look on his face after turning his head from the silver-white earth outside the car window and the frozen rivers and lakes that occasionally passed through the car window.

Although he has been out of the army for many years, he has not forgotten the war theories that the army has learned! Now the Huo family army relies on the Mississippi River and the Ohio River for defense, and the wide rivers and the powerful inland river fleet are the best defensive barriers for the Huo family army to block the enemy's attack, but the winter in the northern hemisphere is the dry period of these two big rivers, and the scorching cold will also make most of the rivers ice! In this way, the inland river fleet, which was originally a powerful Austrian aid of the Huo family's army, completely lost its effect, but this was the best opportunity for the Americans who wanted to defeat the Huo's army and recover the lost land!

"Well! Yes, judging from the movements of the Americans, it is obvious that they are no longer prepared to wait! The rapidly increasing number of troops on the east bank of the two rivers also indicates that they will launch a large-scale attack on our defensive positions this winter! Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, maybe this month, but it will definitely be this winter, so a new war is not far from us!" Wu Guangzong looked at the silver-white world outside the window and said with some emotion.

Since receiving the order of the military department to lead the troops to the United States to participate in the war, and then taking over as the commander of the American theater after one war after another, and then until now to work hard for the final decisive battle in the Americas, more than two and a half years have passed unconsciously.

"This war must be won!" Wu Guangzong said to himself secretly in his heart.

"I heard that the Americans have prepared more than 1.5 million troops this time, we ......!" Lin Changtao asked with some hesitation.

"Hehe, Lao Lin, it seems that you have been away from the army for too long, you know the character of the young master, if you are not absolutely sure, he will not allow the Americans to grow to the current extent, and he still has not endured, but has already nipminated the Americans in the bud!"

"Hehe, the old chief is right, it seems that I am worried!" Lin Changtao said with a smile, as the old man of Huo Jiajun and the current high-level executive, Huo Shan's far-sighted gaze seems to be the most admired and familiar to Huo Jiajun! )
