At this time, the western states of the United States were far from developed.It has always been the trade between the United States and Europe that has created the prosperity of the eastern states.The western states, by contrast, have a much more backward economy, and their economies are still dominated by agriculture.After the Huaxing Army landed in San Francisco, it did not call for an attack, but was continuously transported by the navy.At present, a million troops have landed, and the daily consumption of materials is amazing, so the army does not develop in depth.The departure of the blacks gave the Huaxing Army an opportunity to unify the southern states of the United States.Now that Texas has been completely occupied by the Huaxing Army, it is separated from California, New Mexico, and Arizona, and if the two states are caught between the east and west, they will definitely be able to take the southern states of the United States in one fell swoop.Therefore, California is extremely important to the Huaxing Army.The U.S.
Federal Department of Defense is also clearly aware of this problem, and now that they have lost the entire east, if they lose the south and west, there is really no room for counterattack.Therefore, this battle in California is crucial, and after the landing of the Huaxing Army, the federal government army also urgently dispatched to raise a million regular troops to rush to the front line, preparing to fight to the death with the Huaxing Army.California's federal army and militia combined have reached more than 3 million, while the Huaxing Army has only 1 million.Roosevelt had given the order to die, and this campaign must only be successful, not lost.No matter what the cost is, the Huaxing Army cannot be allowed to take any further steps in the western coastal areas.The two sides held each other for more than a month, and the US troops took the lead in launching an offensive, relying entirely on the straggler front to charge.The Huaxing Army resorted to traditional trench warfare, and when the American infantry charged, the artillery units immediately carried out carpet bombardment.Today's artillery has been replaced with howitzer guns, and the shells are loaded with TNT explosives.Thousands of artillery pieces were fired in unison, and for a while, the shells seemed to be hail, falling all over the sky.The moment the warhead hit the ground, it immediately let out a violent roar.Explosions rang out one after another, causing the ground to tumble.The U.S. troops braved artillery fire to charge, and although it was a skirmish, the casualty rate was also very alarming.Once the shell explodes, a radius of 30 meters will be subjected to the blast of the blast.At this time, it is better to hide in the trenches, but if you expose your body to this heat wave, you will be directly shaken to pieces.Within ten meters, there was no chance of survival, and the fragments of the explosion pierced into the human body faster than bullets, directly leaving holes in the human body.Thousands of artillery pieces formed an impenetrable network of firepower on the battlefield.It's completely like a meat grinder, tearing the US military apart one by one.The artillery of the American army was bombed by the Huaxing army before the battle, and the artillery opened the way when it was supposed to charge, the ironclad chariots charged, and the infantry then attacked.But now as soon as the artillery of the US army fired, it immediately revealed its position, and soon suffered a devastating blow.They were also not equipped with ironclad chariots, and now they could only rely on their bodies to charge forward in the face of artillery fire.Groups of young men rushed forward with weapons in hand, and bullets and shells raged wildly on the battlefield, soon leaving behind groups of corpses.Gunsmoke billowed and wolf smoke everywhere.The corpses soon covered the battlefield, and after a while, more than 100,000 people fell under artillery fire.The head of the American commander was already in a cold sweat, but Roosevelt gave the death order, and there was no better way to play.So the soldiers braved the artillery fire and charged up again, and in the rain of bullets in the front forest, they did not even rush into it for 300 meters, and soon fell in a pool of blood again.The casualty rate is higher than anyone can imagine, and no one can break through a single step in the bullet and bullet defense line built by the Huaxing Army.Modern warfare has long since changed from crowd tactics to a contest of steel behemoths.From the moment the expeditionary machine gun was born, it was impossible to break through the trenches by relying on crowd tactics.Ironclad combat vehicles eliminated trench warfare, but alas, the US military is not currently equipped with these things.After more than a dozen charges, on a battle line that has grown hundreds of miles, 500,000 American troops have died.The commander could no longer withstand such pressure and hurriedly gave the order to retreat.The Huaxing Army had always had the attitude of chasing after the poor, but now it has surprised the US military.As they retreated, steel beasts suddenly burst out of the trench station ahead.They were like a pack of hungry lions, rampaging across the battlefield, and soon rushed forward and fired wildly at them.This time, the Huaxing army dispatched a thousand ironclad chariots and almost rampaged on the battlefield with an invincible attitude.The defeated American army has lost its command and has retreated unorganized on the battlefield.Now that the ironclad chariots of the Huaxing army are rushing up, they are not able to organize effective resistance in the slightest.The infantry of the Huaxing Army launched an attack with the ironclad chariots, and their target was the logistics base of the official US army, which was more than 200 miles away from the position of the Huaxing Army.The U.S. military has raised more than 2 million government troops, and the Huaxing Army has already received this information, but it has not attacked for a long time.They are just waiting for the US military to complete the deployment of troops, and when the time comes, they will take the US army's logistics base in one fell swoop, and they can also alleviate the problem of material shortage for the Huaxing Army.When the US military launched an attack, the Air Force had already identified the US military's logistical supply base through reconnaissance.This is Sacramento, east of San Francisco and home to the capital of California.Because of the discovery of gold, the city quickly prospered.After the Huaxing Army launched a counterattack, the U.S. troops were unable to carry out an effective defense and scattered and fled.Millions of troops fled to Sacramento, the capital and the command structure.In the absence of command, most of the stragglers still gather here.After the Huaxing army occupied San Francisco, a large number of fortifications were built on all sides of the city.At present, the fortifications are still in the plain area, and the battle is mainly based on the plain operation.The battle for highlands, mountains, and transportation arteries is still in the process of exploration and development.So it doesn't matter if it's on the defensive side or on the offensive side.All the trenches were dug on the outskirts of the city, and the defending side never thought of moving their positions to the mountains.As long as a certain high ground is held, it is impossible for the Huaxing army to bypass this high ground and develop in depth.Because of the limitations of war experience, the U.S. military would only dig defensive positions outside the city at this time.Millions of American deserters converged in the city, and the Huaxing Army followed, only a kilometer away from the American army.Almost as soon as the U.S. troops jumped into the trenches, the ironclad chariots of the Huaxing Army rushed to attack and began a dense cluster bombardment of the U.S. troops.In front of the ironclad chariots, the trenches dug by the US troops on the ground are not defensive at all, and they are no different from tofu scum
