After saying this, Wang Huaicheng's face showed a hint of hesitation!

"What's the matter, just say anything, there are not so many rules in my place!" Wu Guangzong looked at the look on his face and couldn't help but smile and said. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Commander, Pittsburgh is located at the confluence of the Allegheny, Monongahira and Ohio rivers, and fifty kilometers east of the city of Pittsburgh is a wide river.

As the political commissar of the Fourth Marine Division, Huo Haiyun also had the same doubts, so after hearing Wang Huaicheng's words, he also looked at Wu Guangzong, who was standing in front of the map.

Glancing at the two of them lightly, Wu Guangzong threw away the pencil in his hand, and said in a non-questionable answer: "You are also a veteran officer of our Huo Family Army, and you have been a soldier for three years, what do you think is the advantage of our troops compared with the Americans?"

"Excellent soldier quality, advanced combat methods, and weapons and equipment!" Hearing Wu Guangzong's words, Wang Huaicheng replied without hesitation.

"Yes, these are the places where we are ahead of the enemy, but if, as you have just said, if we defend by the river, we will indeed be able to achieve the goal of stopping the enemy west of the Allegheny River and the Monongahira River with minimal losses. However, when the time comes, I am afraid that our superiority, which is far superior to the enemy, will not be able to be brought into play. When the time comes, we can't help but keep the secrets of our weapons and equipment, and the damage we inflict on the Americans will be very limited!"

"Americans are not stupid. They have 250,000 troops at their disposal, and even if our offensive is thwarted, then they will look for a breakthrough from other directions. Although we now have the Ohio River as a defensive barrier. However, we do not have enough troops stationed on this river, and even with the help of the navy, I am afraid that there will inevitably be omissions, and if the Americans take advantage of it, then the situation we are facing will be extremely bad! Moreover, once these 200,000 US ** troops are dispersed, it will be difficult to destroy them!"

"Commander. You don't want to ......?" Wang Huaicheng couldn't help but ask in surprise. At this time, he had somewhat guessed the bold military layout hidden in Wu Guangzong's heart!

"Hehe, you guessed right, I just want to take this opportunity to eat the 250,000 troops of the Americans in one bite. Win half a year of peace for our American Military Region!" Wu Guangzong touched his stubble chin and said excitedly.

"Commander, are you really sure?" Although he knew that such a question might be a little disrespectful, he faced nearly 250,000 troops with less than 20,000 men. That's a nearly twelve-fold gap. Even if Huo Jiajun has an advantage in the quality of soldiers and weaponry, he wants to eat all of the 250,000 trained and well-equipped troops of the Americans by virtue of this, and even Wang Huaicheng, who has always been bold, does not have such confidence! However, he knows his current commander, and since he dares to say this, he must have more than 80 percent certainty in his heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't have put the plan into action!

Hear his words. Wu Guangzong didn't say anything, but smiled. Picking up the pencil in his hand again, he shifted his gaze to the map placed on his desk! Now, his plan is not yet complete, it is too early to say, and it will not be too late to say until the Americans really step into his elaborate encirclement!

As the US ** team began to advance westward, and it was getting closer and closer to Pittsburgh, which was occupied by the Dehuo army, the eyes of all the powerful countries in the world were also focused on it! Britain, France, Germany, the Russian Empire, Spain, and even small Japan as far away as Asia all did everything possible to send military observers to follow behind the US ** team!

In the past, the only battle between the Huo Jiajun and the Netherlands and Portugal that attracted the world's attention was a large-scale naval battle, and the scale of the land war was very small; although we know that the strength of the Chinese army is very strong, what kind of level has their strength reached, there is indeed no unified understanding among the countries of the world! This big battle of hundreds of thousands of troops between the Chinese army and the Americans will be an opportunity!

A large-scale war, which can be regarded as a great war even in Europe, will directly demonstrate the respective military levels of China and the United States! Therefore, although all European countries are still experiencing a serious economic crisis, they have invariably expressed their interest in this war that will take place on the distant American continent!

As time passed, on the morning of July 25, the vanguard of the U.S. ** team, an army of 15,000 troops, arrived at the small town of Poeni in the east of the Allegheny River and the Mononga Hilla River.

As time went by, in less than two days, the follow-up of more than 200,000 troops from the United States began to arrive one after another, and soon this originally quiet and peaceful town became a super military camp.

"General!"

"General!" With the soldiers' respectful salutes, Grant Wood, who was appointed commander-in-chief of the U.S. westward expansion force, walked into the operational command that had been established!

As a matter of fact, this three-star American general, who graduated from the West Point Military Academy, participated in the Civil War, and made many meritorious contributions, retired three years ago! However, now that the newly established US Army is seriously short of officers, especially when there are commanders with actual combat experience, he was once again specially invited by the federal government from his hometown in Covington, Virginia, to serve as the commander-in-chief of the US westward expansion force at the age of 65!

Looking at the senior officers with different looks crowded inside the combat command, Grant sighed secretly in his heart, the evil consequences of years of attaching importance to the economy and neglecting the construction of military strength have finally broken out, especially the original remaining more than 20,000 seed troops as army expansion, after being annihilated by the Chinese on the west coast of the United States at the beginning of this war, the United States has a strong economy in the air, but the embarrassment of lacking strong force to protect these economic achievements is completely exposed to all countries in the world!

Even though 300,000 troops have been formed, the dilemma of having to hire officers from other countries to command the army has made all countries in the world have serious doubts about the military strength of the United States!

"Commander!" all the officers in the war room stood up and saluted when they saw Grant come in!

"Alright, let's all sit down! Is the intelligence of the squadron in Pittsburgh now clear?"

Hearing his words, a middle-aged man wearing a major general's uniform sitting next to him stood up, "Commander, according to the military intelligence provided by the Intelligence Section of the Department of the Army, there should be less than 30,000 squadrons in Pittsburgh, and this also includes tens of thousands of black servants, which means that there are only about 20,000 people in the squadron that really have combat capabilities!"

Hearing this, Grant couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, this kind of staff system created by the Germans and then imitated by other countries is indeed very meaningful to the operational command of the army!

"Did your staff draw up a battle plan for this?" asked Grant.

Hearing his words, this Frenchman named Jacques Chirac, who retired from the French Army and served as the chief of staff of the US Westward Expansion Force, couldn't help but shrug his shoulders with a smile, "General, our army has 250,000, more than ten times that of the Chinese, and we have perfect logistics and sophisticated weapons and equipment, as well as heroic soldiers trained by the training methods of the French troops, a powerful army in the world! Therefore, we don't have to think about any strategy at all, and with our strength, we can completely crush the opposite China and achieved the first victory since the troops marched westward!"

Secretly frowned, although Grant was dissatisfied with the arrogant and arrogant look and tone of this Frenchman, but what he said was also the truth, even if the soldiers under his command were all recruits who had only undergone more than two months of training, and perhaps they were not as good as the squadron with more experience in war in terms of individual soldier quality, but with the difference in numbers, he could completely crush the other party with the 250,000 troops in his hand and achieve the final victory of the war!

"General, what Major General Jacques said just now is very right, we must quickly eat this squadron first with the number of troops far exceeding the enemy before the army reinforcements in the rear of the Chinese come up!" The person who stood up this time was the commander of the first division of the US Army and a graduate of the Virginia Military Academy, but he had been retired for two or three years, and after the Chinese army conquered the western part of the United States, he was also re-recruited by the US War Department!

"Is there any movement in Pittsburgh's squadron?" asked Grant again. He did not believe that with the intelligence capabilities of the Chinese, he would not know the news of the large-scale westward expansion of the US Army!

"Yes, General! The Chinese have built a strange defensive line about ten kilometers long thirty kilometers east of Pittsburgh!" Jacques Chirac could only describe it as strange, because he had never seen a position made of barbed wire, small houses made of cement, and tunnels that were intertwined!

"Oh, the strange line of defense?" asked Grant, with some curiosity.

"General, you better go and see for yourself tomorrow!, because I have never seen it before, so it is really hard to describe it to you!" Jacques said helplessly.

"Okay!" Although he didn't look down on the arrogant attitude of this Frenchman, it was undeniable that his military literacy was still very high, and he had been in the army for many years, and his own war experience was also very rich. )
