Chapter 450 Black Blitz (Part 2)
Air fighter jets roared, and ground tanks roared.
The Chinese Emperor** used planes and combat vehicles to open the road in front and quickly broke through the defensive positions of the US military, which was unstoppable.
After the Second Marine Division captured Los Angeles, it quickly implemented militarized management of Los Angeles, seized and ransacked California's state warehousing and major banks, jewelry banks and other financial shops, focusing on plundering gold, silver, jewelry, cash and bonds, and conservatively estimated that it would make huge profits of more than one billion US dollars.
On the other hand, the US military gathered on the US-Mexico border was defeated, a large amount of combat supplies were lost, the country was lost, the economy was destroyed and plundered, and the losses in any aspect made them feel heartbroken.
This was the first unprecedented mechanized army march in the history of human war. During this great advance, the Chinese Empire successfully practiced the theory of armored warfare, used blitzkrieg theory for the first time in actual combat, and achieved brilliant victories.
As the US military gathered heavy troops on the border, the main force was defeated and severely damaged as soon as the war began, with heavy casualties, heavy equipment and strategic materials were destroyed or fell into the hands of Emperor China. The US military failed to build more strategic defense fortifications, which resulted in the failure of the US military's defense line to quickly organize effective deep defense fortifications in the rear, allowing Emperor China China to successfully break into the hinterland of the United States, resulting in the fall of a large area of American territory.
The First Armored Army of the Royal Imperial Guards is affiliated with the 1st Army of the Middle Route Army Group, and has 2 armored divisions, 2 mechanized infantry divisions, and 1 bicycle infantry division. It is both the middle of the First Army Group and the attack vanguard of the Army Group.
After the Imperial Guards broke through the US-Mexico border defense line, they crossed the Gege River on the evening of June 10 and advanced to the Louis River line on the 12th, completing the encirclement of the US Arizona Army in the "California Marina Corridor" area.
When encircling and annihilated the Arizona Army, most of the besieged US troops were recruits who had not experienced the war. In addition, the US military thought that 200 tanks could block the offensive of the Chinese Imperial Army's armored division, but unexpectedly, without air supremacy, the 200 US tanks had just rushed to the battlefield and had not yet confronted the Chinese Imperial Army's tank regiment, and were attacked by a large number of Hellfire fighters dived down at an ultra-low altitude.
Although the aerial combat hit rate of rockets mounted by Hellfire fighters is very low, it is very effective in dealing with unfast US tanks on the ground.
As a series of whistles approached, the Hellfire fighter would shoot two rockets every time they dived, quickly destroying most of the US tanks and successfully disrupting the combat formation of the US tank troops.
Then the M16 type tank and z16 anti-tank tank of the Chinese Emperor's Armored Division took the opportunity to rush up, and fierce artillery quickly destroyed the US tanks. Within 20 minutes of the battle, the US tank division was defeated.
After the defeat of the tank division, which was highly anticipated by the US military, only a small part of the US military on the front knew the situation and retreated quickly. Most of the US troops continued to advance without receiving the order to retreat. As a result, when they found that the Chinese Emperor's tank assault troops were approaching, it was too late to run away.
A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. A considerable number of US troops have never seen a chariot. They obviously do not understand the performance of the chariot. They think that the armor of the chariot is nothing more than a disguise made of tin plates and is used to bluff people. So many US cavalry rushed up and launched a fierce attack on the chariot of the chariot of the chariot with the sabers and rifles in their hands.
At first, the Emperor of China was shocked when he saw this, but he quickly woke up and ruthlessly used chariot cannons and machine guns to bomb and strafuse the US military, crushing the US military with tracks. The battlefield duel that the American cowboys imagined turned into a massacre of great strength.
By June 13, the Imperial Army had formed an encirclement of the Arizona Army, and the US troops were surrounded in the forest areas south of Mesa and west of Chandler. The cavalry of the US military suffered great losses because they did not understand the performance of the Imperial Army's chariot. One US artillery regiment was moving towards Phoenix City, but was caught by the Imperial Army's chariot regiment on the way and was all annihilated. Only two artillery had the chance to fire. The US infantry also suffered heavy casualties. Some of them were captured during the retreat, and the rest were annihilated.
By October 4, all six infantry divisions and one cavalry brigade of the US Arizona Army were annihilated, while only 150 were killed and 700 were injured in the four divisions of the Royal Imperial Guards of the Chinese Empire.
The next day, the Mexican Minister of Defense came to visit the 1st Armored Division of the Royal Imperial Guards of the Imperial Imperial Guards and said in a subsequent report to the Mexican President: "The courage and strength of the Americans cannot be underestimated, or even surprising. But in this battle, the loss of our Allied forces was so small because our Allied chariot troops exerted a high power. After losing the first line of defense, the US military was unable to organize a counterattack, and was run wildly on the Arizona plain like a rabbit."
The lightning attack of the Chinese Emperor completely put the US military in a passive state of being beaten. This was the first time the Americans in the world experienced the taste of "blitzkrieg". The US military commander originally thought that the war would unfold as slowly as before. The Chinese Emperor would first use light infantry to carry out avant-garde activities, and then use heavy troops to attack, and were unprepared for the "blitzkrieg" in which the Chinese Emperor used a large number of chariots and aviation troops.
British affairs theorist Lidell Hart pointed out: "The US military is still copying the positional warfare experience on the European battlefield, but they forgot that their opponent is not the Europeans, but the stronger Chinese Emperor. It is no exaggeration to say that their thoughts lag behind the Chinese Empire for more than 10 years. The Chinese Empire's armored corps tactics are more than five years ahead of Europe. This is the gap in strength, and Europeans should pay attention to it."
The US military commander was too confident in its military strength and hoped to block the Chinese Emperor's army on the border, so he deployed all his troops on the US-Mexico border, thinking that as long as he carried out a resolute counterattack, he could win. This deployment without any elasticity of advancement, retreat, and stretching and retracting made the US military either annihilated or divided under the advancement of the Chinese Emperor's army at a high speed and depth, becoming a lonely army left behind the Chinese Emperor's army, and the resistance quickly collapsed.
On June 7, the First Armored Army of the Imperial Army of the Imperial Army severely damaged the two armies of the US "Utah" and "Virginia", and occupied Mesa, the important industrial city in the southern United States and the second largest city of Tucson. Among them, the 16th Armored Division, the 10th Army's forefront, arrived at the southern suburbs of Phoenix City on June 8, cutting off the retreat of the US "Wisconsin" army from the south.
The Mexican army's attack on the Washington Army in the first three days had no effect, and was even severely damaged by the US military. However, as the Chinese Emperor* obtained a breakthrough from the left wing, it tore open the US defense line and forced the US commander to order the Washington Army to retreat and avoid being surrounded.
In this way, the Mexican army was able to advance quickly, and took out the bargain and eliminated the 94th Army of the US Army. With the support of the 5th Army of the Imperial Army, it creatively damaged the US New Mexico Army, which was eager to retreat, occupied the "New Mexico Plain", and then crossed the Pova River, seized three highlands on the roads east and southeast of Phoenix City, and cooperated with the Chinese Emperor* to attack the US Army of Phoenix Mountain.
On June 8, the 1st Army and 2nd Army, which belonged to the Left Wing Army Group, launched an assault on Phoenix City from the west and southwest. 200,000 US troops were trapped in Phoenix City and were forced to fight to the death.
On June 11, the 1st Armored Division of the Royal Guard crossed the Naxi River and began to advance rapidly towards the Brescott River behind Phoenix City. It also forced the remnants of nearby US troops into Phoenix City, increasing the total U.S. military force in Phoenix City to 350,000.
On June 15, the three major armies of Imperial China encircled Phoenix City, and the US military completely lost contact with the outside world. 370,000 US troops became alone, crowded in a city less than 25 square kilometers. Both ammunition and food were in a hurry. The US military robbed American civilians and the public security deteriorated. Many Americans even loudly called for the US military to get out and let the Imperial China enter the city. Among the Americans in the area, more than 80% are descendants of Mexicans. When they learned that Mexico also declared war on the United States, they also looked forward to the Mexican army recovering lost territory. Therefore, anti-US riots in the city continued to occur, which made the US military not only guard against the Sino-Mexican coalition outside, but also guard against the mobs in the city, and were exhausted for a while.
On June 17, the U.S. Ohio Army went south to reinforce, trying to rescue the US troops trapped in Phoenix, but was blocked by the 12th Army of the Imperial Empire on the front line of the Grand Canyon in Utah. After three days of fierce fighting, the US troops failed to move forward.
During these three days, the subsequent troops of the Emperor of China arrived one after another, and the total force of the Emperor of China who besieged Phoenix City increased to 700,000. After three days of fierce attack, the US military suffered heavy casualties, and most importantly, the ammunition and food were exhausted, and the soldiers fought on hungry, and their morale was extremely low.
On June 20, Lieutenant General Rand, the highest commander of the US military in Phoenix, ordered the US military to surrender to the Chinese Emperor, but refused to surrender to the Mexican army on the condition that the Mexican army was prohibited from entering the city. In addition to General Rand's belief that the Mexican army was a clown who was not worthy of the US military surrendering to it, he was also worried that the Mexican army would intensify the arrogance of the Mexican mob in the city, and more Americans would be persecuted.
The Chinese Emperor ** agreed to Rand's conditions and unilaterally accepted the surrender of the remaining 270,000 US troops. In response, the Mexican army and the Mexican authorities immediately protested to the Chinese Empire, but the Chinese Empire ignored it.
At this time, Mexico had no more value to the Chinese Empire. Therefore, the 500 million dragon coin loan promised by the Chinese Empire to Mexico was stopped after only 30 million yuan. The promise to give all the Chinese armed forces of the 20 Mexican standing army only provided a small part of the equipment required for all Chinese armed forces. Only one Mexican division completed the replacement of all Chinese equipment, and the equipment of other Mexican troops was postponed indefinitely by the Chinese Empire for various reasons and excuses.
The Mexican government was very dissatisfied with this, but he did not dare to offend the Chinese Empire. He had to believe the lies of the Chinese Empire and strive for profits as much as possible.
With General Rand leading more than 270,000 US troops to surrender, the black blitzkrieg of the border battle launched by the Chinese Empire also ended. The US military was forced to abandon most of the land in Arizona, California, and New Mexico, and retreated 400 kilometers in one breath to rebuild its defensive positions.
The Chinese Emperor's blitzkrieg also consumed a lot of money. Ammunition, oil and logistics supplies were no longer something Mexico could afford, so Chinese Emperor had to suspend rest for a few days and wait for the logistics troops to follow.
In the Black Blitzkrieg, which was immediately half a month ago, the US military suffered 660,000 casualties, more than 400,000 were captured, and millions of tons of weapons, equipment and logistics supplies were lost. The two half states fell and the economic losses were as high as US$7 billion. The Emperor of China was killed 9,354 people, injured 43,000 people, and disappeared 403 people. The plunder of various wealth was about US$1.2 billion, which not only offset the military consumption of the battle, but also made huge profits.
On the other hand, while the Imperial Chinese Army launched a black blitzkrieg, the Bermuda base in the Atlantic Ocean was also captured by the US military on June 17.
Since the Chinese Emperor** transferred most of the combat aircraft that were originally preparing to reinforce Bermuda to Mexico to participate in Operation Black Lightning, the power of the Imperial Chinese Air Force in Bermuda was sharply weakened. In the air battle on June 9, the Imperial Chinese Air Wing was defeated. Except for 9 lightning fighters and 2 bombers flew back to the San Juan base, more than 70 other fighters were lost. More than two-thirds of the Bermuda Air Wing was injured or killed. If it were not for the purpose of preserving the seeds of the Bermuda Air Wing, the Bermuda Air Wing would not have been cancelled. They would all die for their country.
After losing air supremacy, the number of casualties at the Bermuda base increased sharply every day. Finally, on the night of the 16th, the San Juan base dispatched 30 submarines to rescue the 233 officers and soldiers who had stood firm in the position, so that the entire Bermuda base defender would not be wiped out.
The Battle of Bermuda lasted for more than a month, and the defenders of the Chinese Empire fought to the end with the most tenacious will. Although the Chinese Empire paid the price of 23,000 officers and soldiers, losing 1,032 combat aircraft, 1 aircraft carrier, and 17 other warships. However, it caused more than 230,000 casualties in the US, losing 3,482 combat aircraft, 6 aircraft carriers, and 47 various warships.
Although the US military seized the Bermuda Islands, it paid a high price. Moreover, strategically, the US Navy focused on the Bermuda Battle, allowing the main fleet of the Imperial Navy to pass through the Panama Canal safely and complete assembly and rest in the Caribbean Sea. The US military missed the best opportunity to attack the main fleet of the Imperial Navy.
