The bloody siege of Detroit has lasted until the ninth day, and the Northern Corps never expected that the coastal artillery would shatter the confidence of the American army's defense, but the Detroit steelworkers stood up and became the backbone of the defense of the city to the death.

It's really pressed the gourd to float the scoop, it's really evil!

Detroit has four large steel mills and more than two dozen small and medium-sized steelmaking workshops, employing more than 73,000 people, accounting for more than half of the city's gross domestic product.

After the city was broken

The Steelworkers Volunteer Militia fought bravely and bloodily in the streets of Detroit, and they did not receive formal military training, but relied on barricades and fortified houses to rely on their agility and tenacity, and the fighting was quite troublesome.

The bloody battle of the Iron and Steel Workers' Volunteer Militia brought the blood of the 60,000 or 70,000 remnants of the American army to actively cooperate with the militia to carry out urban battles, which brought great trouble to the offensive of the Northern Army.

"Throw the 17th Stormtrooper into me, and rush again, damn it, what the hell." Colonel Fan Pengju gave the order with a pale face.

In front of him

It was a large and sturdy steel plant, the walls were blasted out of large and small holes by artillery fire, and the nearby one or two hundred meters were empty fields, and many corpses of attacking white soldiers were lying down all over the place, and more than 230 people had been killed and wounded, and they were still unable to take this solid position.

Colonel Fan Pengju was also ruthless and ordered loudly; "Cover the artillery fire, concentrate the fire on me to block the enemy's firing points, and give me a hard blow."

In the blink of an eye, the sound of artillery and gunfire rang out.

More than 130 white cannon fodder belonging to the 17th SA rushed out with guns in their hands, and some of them were constantly being knocked down by bullets, and the hole where the enemy fired would attract more bullets.

Visible blood flashed to the naked eye, and new soldiers appeared behind the enemy's firing holes, and the counterattack was quite stubborn.

At the cost of about thirty or forty casualties, the 17th SA finally rushed to the edge of the factory, their panting backs against the walls of the holes, large and small, many soldiers took out wooden grenades and pulled away the fuses, and then threw the white smoke grenades into the holes beside them.

Seeing a dozen black grenades thrown in, the stubborn soldiers of the U.S. Northern Army let out a strange cry of despair, and then a series of explosions rang out, and the powerful blast blast spewed flesh and blood debris out of the large and small broken holes in the wall.

"I'm on ......"

See this scenario

With a wave of the colonel's hand, Fan Peng led his soldiers to rush in, and then a burst of intermittent gunfire rang out, which lasted for about 40 minutes, until the soldiers of the Northern Army hiding inside were killed cleanly, and not a single prisoner was left.

The battle has been fought so far, and both sides are red-eyed.

As long as the attacking Tang Kingdom army caught any white male, they were immediately incorporated into the cannon fodder stormtroopers and forced them to charge on the first line with guns.

Generally, such a white stormtrooper takes 100~150 people as a team, 10 people as a squad, and the squad leader is served by the old qualified white servant division soldiers, and only they will be equipped with grenades This kind of street fighting killing weapon, ordinary stormtroopers do not have it.

During the battle, the white cannon fodder was in the front, the white squad leader was in the back to supervise the battle, and a large number of Chinese soldiers in the back provided fire support to follow up and expand the results at any time.

The 502nd Division under the hands of Colonel Fan Pengju was divided into more than a dozen battalion-level units, scattered throughout the city to cooperate with the regular field divisions of Chinese descent, and now I don't know how much it has lost?

He himself had only one regiment of less than 1,700 people, and he had lost more than 270 people just after attacking the fortified building of the steel plant, so angry that he really wanted to scold his mother.

On this fortified position, more than 440 white militiamen were killed in battle, and this large iron and steel plant was about 130 meters long and 278 meters wide, and there were quite a lot of large-scale iron-making equipment such as various blast furnaces.

These white soldiers relied on complex factory equipment, hid in the shadows and fired, and had to dig them out one by one like rats, and the battle losses were inevitably greater.

"Report to the master's seat, emergency order from above." The herald hurried over and handed over the letter of order in both hands.

Colonel Fan Pengju took it and looked at it, and looked up at the order issued by the headquarters of the Second Army, and the fire paint badge was intact, so he opened the envelope and unfolded the order inside.

Soon, a gleam of joy appeared on his face.

The 203rd Division captured a large warehouse in Detroit and seized a large amount of food and clothing, according to the confessions of the white captive officers;

It's Detroit's largest supply warehouse, supporting more than half of the city's defenses, and probably more than that.

Because some scattered small and medium-sized warehouses have extremely fast food loss, they can't last a week when they are full.

The Corps Department received this extremely valuable information as if it were a treasure, so it was decided;

Except for the continuation of the battle for the capture of the port facilities, the rest of the besieging forces rested on the spot, and established an impregnable defensive line to prevent the American counterattack, to ensure that the existing occupied areas were united, and to impose a severe blockade on the recalcitrant white militia, and not a single grain of grain was allowed to flow into the city.

If they have nothing to eat, they will gnaw on bricks and bark, and in the end there will be only one way to die.

After reading Shangfeng's order, Colonel Fan Pengju sincerely felt a lot more relaxed.

These Detroit steelworkers who swore not to surrender were really difficult to do, and even if they died, they had to drag one or two pads on their backs, which made Colonel Fan Pengju truly realize the bloody nature of Caucasian men.

If this were the case in the eastern coastal states of the United States of America (north), the war would not have been fought.

For the first time, he felt the invisible pressure of war was simply breathless, the siege war was so brutal that almost every house and building had to be fought over and over again, and countless lives were lost in front of his eyes.

In these nine days of bloody battles, even though a large number of white cannon fodder troops were used, the casualties of the Chinese officers and soldiers of the Northern Army were more than 20,000, plus the losses of the battle, even if the white cannon fodder casualties were not counted, the losses of the Chinese officers and soldiers were almost more than 70,000.

This is just a Detroit, which is a second-tier industrial city in the United States, but what about New York, Philadelphia, and dozens of second-tier cities in the eastern coastal states?

If you want to capture it, I'm afraid 1 million troops won't be enough to consume, right?

After the order was delivered, the gunfire that rang out in the city of Detroit for nine days and nine nights suddenly fell silent, and there was a terrifying silence.

As a matter of fact

After nine days of bloody fighting, the attacking Tang Kingdom army first cut off the supply of materials to the canal and the lake area, especially the food supply.

How long can a scattered small and medium-sized warehouse last?

Today, two-thirds of the Detroit area is still in the hands of the White People's Militia, the Northern Army and the Steelworkers Volunteer Militia still have nearly 100,000 people, and there are more than 100,000 old and weak women and children.

After only a day of silence, driven by hunger, the soldiers of the Northern Army and the White People's Militia in the city launched a frantic counterattack.

They have nothing to eat or drink, and instead of sitting and waiting to die, they should fight hard, and maybe they can fight their way out of the sky.

And this kind of behavior is tantamount to suicide in front of the army of the Tang Kingdom, which is waiting for them......

A few days later

The battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, and the strong smell of blood was choking, and Colonel Fan Pengju looked at the cascading corpses lying down in front of him with a cold expression, without showing any expression.

These white militia and Northern Army soldiers rushed out from all directions like beggars, in vain storming the tightly sealed neighborhoods of the Tang Kingdom army, and then collapsed in rows and rows of hot bullets, a tragic situation that has been repeated many times.

After the battle

The soldiers drove the captive white men and women and threw the bodies directly into the canal, because there were so many enemies killed that there was no way to dispose of them by burning, burying them, etc., but into the wide Detroit River.

Detroit's fast-moving rivers are filled with carcasses floating on the surface of the river, which eventually follow the waters into Lake St. Clair and Lake Erie, where they become nourishment for fish.

No one knows how many bodies were dumped in the Detroit River, and for the next 10 years, the city of Detroit will not be in the habit of eating fish, and no one will want to eat fish.

The lockdown lasted for three weeks, and by the last week there were hardly any people coming out, and the whole city smelled so strong that it was as quiet as a dead city.

Shangfeng then lifted the blockade order, withdrew the troops out of the city one after another, and began to rest in full, while the clean-up of the city was taken over by the local government, and some administrative officials had already been sent to take over the still intact industrial city.

Compared to the battered Chicago, the city of Detroit is mostly intact, but there is always a tragic atmosphere spreading.

Many years later, the United States of America (North) has always referred to Detroit as the "City of Sorrows" and strongly demanded that the international community investigate what the Tang Imperial Army did in the city.

The generals of the army of the Tang Kingdom avoided talking about this, and when asked, they only said it lightly; "It's a battle of conquest without a doubt, that's all."

Many soldiers who participated in the siege of Detroit have deep memories of this bloody battle, and one veteran wrote in his diary; "We smashed the Detroit Fortress with a powerful cannon, and everyone was cheering and thinking we were going to win easily. In fact, it was one of the toughest battles we fought, very bloody, very brutal......"

The bloody battle of Detroit also changed the views of many high-ranking generals of the Northern Legion, who no longer believed that white people were easy to conquer, and the bloody battle that lasted for four years proved that the Yankees really did not lack the spirit of sacrifice.
