The sun never sets in America

Chapter 101 Shooting the Sirius

Arizona, Mexico…

“Get to work, Mexican pig!!”

"hurry up……"

On the desolate land, a dozen Han soldiers with guns and ammunition were shouting to the Mexican prisoners who were working under the scorching sun.

"I'm talking to you, but you didn't hear me..." A Han soldier with obvious mixed-race appearance walked up to a Mexican prisoner who was slowly working with a shovel, and yelled, with a very ferocious expression, "Damn... ...You are so shameless...Pah..." The soldier went up and kicked the Mexican prisoner who was lazy at work, knocking him to the ground.

"what……"

Looking at the wailing Mexican prisoner on the ground, the Han soldier showed no mercy. He just said lightly in Spanish: "Work quickly, Mexican pig!!" The faint tone was full of support for the Republic of Mexico. Even the disdain of Mexicans.

This can be seen from the contemptuous expression.

"Chinese dog..." The Mexican prisoner on the ground struggled to get up, looked at the mixed-race soldier in front of him with hateful eyes, and said disdainfully.

In the eyes of this Mexican prisoner, these mixed-race soldiers made them feel even more disgusting. You must know that these mixed-race bastards are at the absolute bottom in Mexican society, but now they have climbed on top of their masters to show off their power and use the word humiliation. , are not enough to describe my current mood.

"Han dog, I tell you, even if you are a Han dog, it is better than a Mexican dog..." The mixed-race soldier responded angrily to the Mexican prisoner in front of him, "Listen, I am a Han now... ...Not Mexican, do you understand, Mexican stupid pig??” The mixed-race soldier’s sharp eyes were like a sharp knife piercing the heart of the Mexican prisoner.

"You..."

"What are you doing? Work quickly, Mexican pig..." The mixed-race soldier didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking. He went up and hit the other party with the butt of his rifle, knocking the other party to the ground again. Looking at the painfully struggling Mexican prisoner on the ground, the mixed-race soldier's There is an indescribable feeling of pleasure in my heart, just like eating popsicles in the summer...

On the opposite hillside, several Chinese officers were watching with great interest the mixed-race soldiers bullying the Mexican prisoners.

"There are still some strong bones among these Mexican prisoners." Staff officer Guan, who carried the rank of major on his shoulders, looked at the Mexican prisoner opposite who was still resisting and said to the others with a smile, "I thought these Mexican prisoners We are all weak!!" Staff Officer Guan looked at the mixed-race Han soldiers opposite, beating the Mexican prisoner who had no ability to resist over and over again, while laughing and teasing the other officers around him about what he had encountered along the way. Mexican soldiers, as well as officers came.

If it was possible to win some battles at the beginning, in the end, basically all that was left was armed parades. Throughout the war, especially during the First Army’s attack on Arizona, basically except for the early Mexicans who organized thousands of people A direct military confrontation, but since that army was wiped out, all that is left in the vast territory of Arizona is a boring chasing game...

The whole army of the First Army likened the fighting method of chasing the Han troops and running away to the Mexicans to hunting.

Of course, there is also a more vulgar term, that is, the war between hunting dogs and hares.

Some bold officers compared the First Army to a well-trained hunting dog, and compared the Mexican army to a hare that was good at escaping but not good at fighting. It seemed that the only thing the First Army could do was to capture prisoners all over the mountains and plains after defeating the opponent. Capture the defeated soldiers.

Such a rude and self-deprecating metaphor was naturally criticized by Xu Zhi, commander of the First Army, and then, there was no further follow-up.

And the so-called hunting, the metaphor of hound and hare, spread throughout the army.

Even before some troops who needed to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the remaining Mexican remnants set off, they no longer said words such as "fighting" or "departure", but instead used hunting.

He compared himself to a hunter and the remaining Mexican army to a wild beast.

This also brings benefits, that is, higher morale and a stronger psychological advantage over the Mexican army.

This is a good side, but of course it also has a bad side, which is arrogance. There was even a situation where an infantry team of [-] people was surrounded by hundreds of Mexican militiamen. Although it was eventually repelled by the garrison that came over, but at that time The captain of the infantry team was still demoted, from captain to squad leader.

This incident is also a warning to the arrogant and arrogant statements that are currently prevalent in the army, such as the theory that the Han army is invincible, that the Han army is completely invincible, and so on.

After all, strong men often die not from their opponents, but from their arrogance! !
"The fight was quite fast along the way..." Battalion Commander Major Jiang said with some emotion after hearing what Staff Officer Guan said, "It took four and a half days to fight Nevada, and seven days to fight Arizona... just a short time In eleven and a half days, we captured the two northern provinces of Mexico." Camp Commander Jiang's face showed an expression of excitement. In Commander Jiang's view, this was not only rapid, it was an unprecedented war. The speed of such a war cannot even be described as an armed parade.

Of course, what Camp Commander Jiang said is still a bit exaggerated. If it were complete Nevada and Arizona, it would be difficult for Han to completely control it even if it was given to Han for a month. The main areas currently controlled are inhabited areas, which are the so-called highways.

Whether it was the Spanish colonists or the Mexicans later, in Nevada and Arizona, two areas with desolate geography and not very good terrain, if they wanted to control them, they would definitely rely on roads, and immigration along the roads would It's almost an inevitable choice.

But that's all. A hundred miles beyond the highway is the range of the Indians.

The local Indian tribes used a large number of horses to herd and hunt. They were more powerful than the Indian tribes in central North America today. The only difference was that their numbers were too small to threaten the rule of the white people.

"By the way, how are the contacts with the local Indian tribes?" Staff Officer Guan suddenly asked about the local Indians, "Do they agree to join us to attack the Mexicans?" Staff Officer Guan continued to ask several people.

"At present, several tribes have agreed, but many tribes are still hesitant." Battalion Commander Wang, who was in charge of liaison, shook his head and replied to the staff officer, "These tribes are afraid of losses... They said they can provide us with food and wild fields. Beef, but I don’t want to participate in the war between us and the Mexicans." There was a hint of sarcasm in Battalion Commander Wang's tone.

"Until now, they are still sitting on the fence. They deserve to be eating sand in this hellish place like Arizona." Camp Commander Jiang said with a sneer on his face. In his opinion, these local Indian tribes really have no courage. At this time, they can't see clearly. situation, trying to maintain so-called neutrality inside.

"For those Indian tribes who are willing to surrender to us, we should allocate better water sources and land to them after the war. As for those who are unwilling to support us, or are blatantly standing on the fence, they should all rush to Nevada to show them and try to do something. The consequences of double-dealing." Staff Guan suggested with a fierce expression.

In the view of Staff Officer Guan, these Arizona Indian tribes refused to eat the toasts and drank as fines. The situation was obviously like this, and they still clung to the neutral arch. This was no longer stupid, it was stupid and bad.

"Don't worry about them. People who can't see the general trend of history are not worthy of our investment of resources." Camp Commander Jiang agreed coldly, "We should invest our resources in the tribes who are loyal to me. Didn't the superiors say that we should give them money?" Are you sending a batch of arms to the Indians in New Mexico? I think it’s best to use the ones used by the Mexicans themselves!!" Battalion Commander Jiang said to the two people present with a smile. The smile on his face looked like So it has an inexplicable meaning.

"That's right, let's let New Mexico be in chaos for a while." Staff Officer Guan said with a frivolous expression, "After all, we don't have time and precious troops to waste in New Mexico." Staff Officer Guan had a sarcastic smile on his face.

"That's true. We still have big things to do, and we can't waste time on the easily accessible territory in New Mexico." Battalion Commander Wang agreed with a serious expression.

The major event they are talking about refers to the adjustment order made by the Ministry of War based on the current situation. That is, after capturing the Arizona area, the First Army will repair on the spot and wait for the Second Army to start moving south from Arizona to the hinterland of Mexico. Together with the Second Army, launch a battle against the core area of ​​Mexico.

If Mexico is compared to China, then places like California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, and even Texas belong outside the Great Wall and do not belong to the core territory. However, the eighteen provinces of the Central Plains of Mexico have been operating for several years. The Mexican Peninsula, which has been built since the Spanish period for hundreds of years, is the real core of Mexico, the core of the core.

The population here is large and the economy is more developed than the areas occupied by the Han Dynasty, and development also means that the local resistance will be very strong.

At the beginning, the purpose of the Han Dynasty's battle was to contain the Mexican army in the Nevada and Arizona areas and become the flank of the war. However, after quickly capturing the Nevada area and the Arizona area, the War Department's Fundamental changes were made in the combat strategy.The strategic positioning of the First Army has changed from flank containment at the beginning to joint attack now.

From this, we can also see the changes in the mentality of the Han people. Even the staff officers and battalion commander Wang said this and the mid-level officers said that New Mexico is not important for the time being.

The metaphor behind this is almost to treat New Mexico, even the Arizona under your feet, and even the previously captured Nevada as the territory of the Han Kingdom.

This kind of thinking is not only spread among the army, but also in the rear, in the Han State. On the latest map of the Americas, Nevada and Arizona are even directly included in the territory of the Han State.

Even New Mexico could have been planted with a Chinese flag if someone hadn't stopped it.

It can be seen from this that the mentality of the Han army and even the ordinary Han people in the rear cannot be described as confident, it is infinitely close to arrogance! !

"Report, Captain Guo asked us to repair this road as soon as possible." While several people were chatting, a messenger ran over to convey the order.

"Tell Captain Guo that our department will open the highway within three days." Battalion Commander Jiang, who was responsible for building the highway, replied seriously to the messenger.

"Yes!" the messenger said to Battalion Commander Jiang, and then left here.

"Brother Jiang, three days is not enough, right?" Staff Officer Guan said to Battalion Commander Jiang with some concern after the soldiers left, "According to our previous estimates, it will take at least a week to build this road to get close to the Mexicans. , three days, isn't this just fun??" Staff Officer Guan looked at the rugged mountain road and continued to say to Battalion Commander Jiang with an ugly face. In Staff Officer Guan's opinion, it would be good if half of it could be repaired in three days.

"Yes, Lao Jiang, it's not possible at all. It's difficult to repair such a long road." Battalion Commander Wang also persuaded Battalion Commander Jiang.

"Who said we can't repair it? These people can do it, right?" Camp Commander Jiang pointed at the Mexican prisoners working on the hillside, holding hoes and pushing carts, and said with a smile, but Staff Guan and Wang Ying No matter how long I look at this smiling face, I feel a little scary.

"But, they are human beings, and they have to rest and sleep." Battalion Commander Wang replied immediately.

"Then just don't treat them as human beings." Camp Commander Jiang said this with a smile, which made the two of them feel terrified.

"It is said that many prisoners have been captured in the rear, and they will be sent tomorrow." Camp Commander Jiang said to the two of them meaningfully, his smiling expression was like a devil's smile.

After hearing these words, Staff Officer Guan and Battalion Commander Wang both became a little silent. They looked at the Mexican prisoners who were still working below, with a trace of reluctance and struggle in their eyes, but they were soon replaced by a cold look. Reason instead.

This is the battlefield, now is war time, in the dictionary of war, there is no word mercy! !

.............................................

"Everyone, according to our plan, we will launch a general attack on Mexico at six o'clock tomorrow morning..." In the underground headquarters stationed in Hongshan City, Zhao Wei pointed at the map above with a stick and pointed at everyone in the headquarters. introduced.

"We will bypass the area where the opponent has deployed heavy troops and launch an attack from the Nogales line." Zhao Wei pointed to the area above Nogales and said. Thanks to the Arizona War, the Han Dynasty bypassed the heavily guarded area. Sonoita also bypassed the small section of desert in the middle and attacked directly from the rear of Mexico through the Arizona area.

Of course, it cannot be entirely the rear. After all, there is no such thing as a front or rear in Mexico now.

There are flaws everywhere.

"Due to travel reasons, the two leading troops, the Iron Guard Brigade and the 1st Mixed Regiment, set off early a few days ago and have now made contact with the local garrison of the First Army," Zhao Wei pointed out. Looking at the part of Arizona close to Mexico, he said with a smile.

Originally, they had not taken Arizona. The Han army would never take such a risk by borrowing the passage from Arizona, because it would be easy to attack from both front and rear. The initial plan was to cross the section connecting the Baja California Peninsula, which was not too big. Small desert, and then find a way to use part of the army to contain the local garrison, which is the area specially built by Morant, because there are certain mountains blocking the area. If you want to pass, you must either forcefully attack it, or leave an army to contain it.

As for blocking it and not letting it pass, just kidding, did he think he was the Maginot Line? ?
Even the Maginot Line can be bypassed.

In this world, there is no such thing as a real line of defense. Any country that engages in a so-called line of defense will have its basic line of defense destroyed.

"The two brigades in the rear and the seven mighty battalions will attack immediately after the front troops open a gap to expand their advantage..." Under Zhao Wei's baton, an offensive situation unfolded one by one, unfolding on all sides. In front of everyone.

"Have you figured out the situation in Mexico?" Liu Peng sat below, looking at the map above, and asked with a frown.

"We have basically figured it out. The Mexicans are currently urgently mobilizing troops. The number of troops organized in various frontline cities alone is no less than 3, and they are the new troops that have been armed in recent months." Zhao Wei reported to Liu Peng the situation detected in the past two days.

"How is the combat effectiveness??" Liu Peng thought for a while and asked with a serious expression.

"According to our assessment, in terms of combat quality, it is equivalent to our second-line army, but in terms of firepower, it is not lower than us. Of course, in terms of artillery quality, it is still much lower than us." Zhao Wei answered truthfully .

"Do you have their specific defense plan?" Liu Peng then continued to ask.

"At present, the intelligence personnel we have sent out have only obtained part of the Mexican army's defense intelligence, mainly from the front line." Zhao Wei continued to answer Liu Peng about the Mexican army's intelligence. "And as far as we know, the Mexican army's logistics There are huge loopholes in the field, their corruption is very serious, and most of the military supplies have been forged and misreported." Zhao Wei mentioned the logistical disadvantages of the Mexican army to Liu Peng and other generals.

"In this war, we should focus on attacking their logistical supply lines." Liu Peng stood up, looked at the huge detailed map of Mexico, and said to everyone, "General Tang... I ask your Dragon Cavalry Brigade to use the speed of the cavalry. , the advantage of running long distances, go around to the rear and attack their logistics supplies..." Liu Peng pointed to the highway lines inside the Republic of Mexico and ordered Tang Wuwei on the side.

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!!" Tang Wuwei stood up and said to Liu Peng with a serious expression.

"Gentlemen... this battle is the battle for the rise of our great Han Dynasty. It is of great significance and cannot be lost!!" Liu Peng turned his head and solemnly told the generals present, "Tomorrow at six o'clock in the morning... the battle will officially begin. The whole army will , I must have my invincible will to defeat these Mexican gangsters in one fell swoop." Liu Peng said with sharp eyes, comparing the Republic of Mexico and Mexicans to a country of gangsters.

"Operation codename...Shoot Sirius!!"

Liu Peng turned back to look at the huge map of North America, and finally focused on the area where Mexico was located, that gray patch.

To the north of the Mexican territory, a large area of ​​land was covered in the fiery red color of Han, just like a giant dragon biting the Mexican prey.

And on top of the fiery red, two words written in traditional Chinese characters, Liu Han, are hidden in it.
