The sun never sets in America

Chapter 418: Railway Siege Battle
Boom boom! !
The shell hit the dirt bun behind, raising a puff of smoke and dust that covered Hu Fengyun's head.

At this time, he was in the city of Alexandria, Louisiana, which is located in the middle of Louisiana. Many surrounding railways pass through here. It can be said that this is a veritable "passenger transportation center."

The more important a place is, the more people will remember it during the war. This sentence is absolutely correct in the current state of Louisiana.

"Boom", there was another loud noise, and in Hu Fengyun's sight, a US military squad that had been attacking just now was destroyed by the Han army's short-range artillery.

"Da da da", the familiar sound of machine guns came to my ears again. I looked from the side and saw a covered machine gun firing port in the corner of the bag. The firing port was neither big nor small, just enough to cover the front. The battlefield, most places.

Hu Fengyun's eyes were full of envy. For him, being able to become a popular machine gunner was definitely better than this damn "sergeant".

Among other things, the food for machine gunners is good. According to the latest food standards of the Han army, machine guns are the standard for second lieutenants.

Although it is said to be transcendent by some people, it does match the contribution of some machine gunners to the Han army.

For a gluttonous person, the machine gunner could receive a larger portion of canned fruit every month, and it was Penglai canned food, which Hu Fengyun could not even imagine, so that after he was promoted to sergeant, he had many This time he tested the captain to see if he could give him a "chance".

But the captain just said:

"You are so lucky. The machine gunner is wronged. You are suitable for a better position!!"

"Click", walking on the broken bricks, Hu Fengyun, who was carrying a rifle, kept rubbing the stone in his hands. This stone was just found in the ruins of a battlefield. At first, he thought that this stone was not simple, and it turned out to be true. , with a few clicks of the knife, a pile of gold powder was wiped out.

The woman was stunned, and the expression on her face was even uglier than when she just saw Hu Fengyun.

At that time, he thought that this was definitely nugget gold, which was lost by a big family in the city during the war. At that time, he was so happy that he jumped.

Hu Fengyun cursed in half-baked English:
"Bichi, I have no interest in an old woman like you!!"

It can be said that the city of Alexandria is only a few hours away from being "recovered".

(In a real battlefield, if you can kill two, you are actually considered a good soldier. After all, you have already recouped your money and earned one more)
This small-scale blocking battle lasted for three hours and ended with the failure of the US military to break through.

"Ugh……"

"God, save me, they are coming again!!"

Hu Fengyun looked triumphantly at the teammates around him who were still blocking the attack. A sense of pride burned in his heart. After all, he could be considered a veteran after killing four.

"Put it on the ground and push it to me!!"

"No, no..."

"Forehead!!"

…………

Hu Fengyun looked at his teammates who were still blocking, then looked down at his stomach, and in the end he could only mutter:
"You are still thinking about eating when there is a war. You are really not afraid of death!!"

"One step closer to ten people!!"

As for the reason, it's not that it's full now. People like him will definitely not be able to get a place in the queue.

But soon he discovered something was wrong. Why did this thing look like it was still fading? ?

It sounded nice, but in fact Hu Fengyun knew that the other party just didn't want to let him do it.

"explain!!"

After a while, a disheveled soldier ran out from inside. He was a little nervous when he saw Hu Fengyun. After all, according to military discipline, his private behavior was not allowed.

Seeing the corporal running away in a hurry, Hu Fengyun cursed, "Don't admit it if you dare to do it," and then got into the low room just now.

Hu Fengyun took out the seized "low-level pistol" and pointed it at the woman who was still in a daze.

Under the command of the pistol, the woman went up to the second floor. When she came down, she had a wooden box in her hand.

As soon as he got in, he saw a similarly disheveled Caucasian woman in her thirties. When she saw him, she even said:

Hu Fengyun rubbed it a few more times without giving up, and finally could only admit the fact that the stone was just a "pirated" one.

At this moment, a woman's scream suddenly came from her ears.

"Gulu", just when Hu Fengyun was about to finish touching today's "fish", his stomach growled unsatisfactorily.

"Empty, empty!!"

"Tell me, where is the money??"

We have basically controlled most of the strategic nodes, even one-third of the city, and the periphery is basically under control.

"Bang", the gunshot rang out, and his shoulder was obviously hit by the recoil. Hu Fengyun immediately looked at the lower left corner opposite.

Shaking off the stone in his hand, Hu Fengyun stepped on the glass panel shattered by the shell. His feet made a "crunching" sound, but he let out a long sigh.

In the end, he could only point to the second floor of the low house tremblingly.

Hu Fengyun looked at the stairs on the second floor and said without changing his expression: "You, go up!!"

Hu Fengyun shouted excitedly, then took out his carving knife and added another scratch to the four scratches on his gun butt.

Hu Fengyun's expression froze. Soon he understood what had happened. He glanced at the short couch room. Hu Fengyun wanted to take a step, but finally took it back. After all, he was a "gentleman" and would never Will "take advantage of others' danger".

“Something’s wrong, something’s really wrong??”

After saying that, he continued to raise the rifle that had broken through to the "four-person" record, and pointed it at the "kid" he just saw.

The woman looked at the pistol in front of her and the "vicious" look in her eyes, and suddenly felt that God might really not be able to save her.

The most fundamental reason why it is said to be a small area is because of the advantage that the Han army currently holds in Alexandria.

Hu Fengyun continued to command with his gun.

"Wow!" When the wooden box was pushed over, Hu Fengyun pressed it with the sole of his shoe, then slowly lowered his waist, looked at the woman, and took the wooden box into his hand.

"Click", the wooden box opened, revealing the jewelry that blinded Hu Fengyun's eyes. Among them, the diamond the size of a pigeon egg almost made Hu Fengyun fall to the ground and shouted: "The sky has eyes."

Looking up at the still trembling woman, Hu Fengyun had the idea of ​​"killing someone and silencing them" in his mind, but he quickly put it down.

It's not that he is noble, but that they will evacuate soon.

Yes, according to the Han army's plan, a quick victory is the mainstream of this war.

As for those cities, they are basically left to local people to govern themselves. As for whether there will be problems later, it depends on whether those people understand the situation.

After all, even if they leave, they may not all leave, and it just so happens that Hu Fengyun is among those who leave completely.

"goodbye!!"

After throwing out the only fluent English sentence, Hu Fengyun jumped out like a wild cat, leaving the "confused" woman behind.

.........

"Oh, I buy a watch, I don't wear it, I just put it on and look at it!!"

"Oh, I have money..."

After Hu Fengyun collected his "property", he proudly sang his self-composed wealth song on the street.

"Quick, gather..."

"Didi, gather..."

When the sound of assembly sounded everywhere, Hu Fengyun was just halfway through singing a limerick when it suddenly stopped. He cursed "Damn" and moved his feet very quickly.

"Now, get in the car!!"

Looking at the "American car" in front of him, Hu Fengyun took a closer look, and then got directly into the car.

As soon as he got on the car, he felt the difference between the two countries. Among other things, the Han's car was obviously more spacious, while the American's was obviously a little smaller.

I thought to myself: "Stingy."

In fact, what Hu Fengyun didn't know was that the main reason for the situation of one large and one small was that there was a huge difference in the size of the rails used by the two sides. The Han Dynasty used a wide gauge, while the United States used a short gauge, or in other words, it was shortened on purpose. The purpose was also very simple, to avoid being like you and having the railway lines opened during the war.

Once the railway lines between the two countries are connected, there will be a consequence, which is security in a state of war. This is a very important thing for the United States, which has always had no sense of security.

Therefore, it has become inevitable to make clear distinctions on railways.

Just when Hu Fengyun sat down on this "foreign car", a subtle yet far-reaching change was taking place on the battlefield far away in Youzhou.

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

"How is the Han army doing lately??"

Lieutenant General Yat looked at the occupation situation in various places in his hands. Even though they had occupied most of Youzhou, Lieutenant General Yat was not only not happy, but also fell into a kind of anxiety.

After all, as Lei Qi said, not occupying large cities means that the war between them and the Han army will continue as long as the other side is willing.

After all, Youzhou is a place with very developed industry and good agriculture. It is impossible to completely blockade this kind of place.

Most of the places they occupied were small and medium-sized towns, mainly in the central region. Under such circumstances, if the two shackles at the front and back could not be solved, then once a problem occurred, the two lines of defense that originally blocked them from entering Youzhou would suddenly disappear. It can become an "iron chain" that binds their hands and feet and eventually strangles them.

"They are still in the city and have no plans to come out and compete with us for other areas of Youzhou."

After hearing this, Art couldn't help but touch his hands on the table. That was his natural reaction when he was nervous.

After stroking for a long time, Art slowly spoke:
"Get Lechi over here!!"

"Yes, General!!"

After the man left, Art let out a breath he had been holding for a long time, and then murmured to himself: "What on earth do you want to do? Do you really want to come to Montana again??"

.........

"The current ammunition reserves of our army, after this period of transportation, have reached the standard of at least three months for a million-strong army!!"

"During the war, these supplies mainly relied on railway deployment..."

"We have prepared at least two thousand wagons for this."

"The distribution of military supplies during wartime is based on..."

Xu Hao stood in front of the conference room, wearing a general officer's uniform, and introduced the current material reserves and transportation situation with a calm expression.

When the people below were listening, they were obviously paying more attention than when they were just speaking.

After all, the battle is all about logistics! !
"According to our original plan, the deployment of military forces on the battlefield was mainly based on railway reinforcements."

"However, considering the sudden nature of the war and the possibility that the other side will focus on the railway line, it will even affect the safe passage of our military's supplies and troops."

"I believe that the opponent's military strength should be reduced from the beginning, rather than a so-called large-scale encirclement."

The large-scale encirclement Xu Hao mentioned was actually the tactical idea of ​​some officers, hoping to use a gentle and flexible encirclement to prevent the huge damage that might be caused.

They even gave this tactic the name "spring ball."

But in Xu Hao's opinion, what a bullshit spring ball. These people really treat the Yankees as fools. At this point, they are still cooperating with you in Tai Chi. If he is a Yankee, just concentrate the superior forces and hit one point.

As long as one point is broken, the so-called elasticity will become a punctured balloon, vulnerable! !

Sure enough, as soon as Xu Hao finished speaking, the faces of the surrounding officers who supported Spring Ball changed drastically. Before they could speak, they heard Yuan Qing say:

"Although flexibility is good, it is not appropriate at this time. Xu Hao is right, it is better to compress the opponent's living space from the beginning..."

After Yuan Qing spoke, even if some people were still a little dissatisfied, they also understood that since Yuan Qing had publicly supported it, if they did not want to be "remembered", the best way was to remain "silent."

At this time, Xu Hao continued to speak:
"Our army has currently reorganized approximately 300,000 Japanese and Mexican troops."

"About fifteen divisions have been reorganized, each with fifteen thousand men."

"With reference to the Eastern Army and the Zero Division in the north, our army can completely give them a new organization."

After finishing speaking, Xu Hao looked at Yuan Qing, who had been sitting opposite him. After all, he couldn't make the final decision on this naming matter.

Yuan Qing thought for a moment:
"Since it is a mixture of soldiers from the two countries and the entire army is a vassal army, I think it is better to add the number after the North Zero Division, but also add the word vassal in front to correct its name!!"

Yuan Qing's words are actually very clear, that is, the simpler, the better. It is best to let people know from the beginning that these are Han vassal armies to distinguish them from the regular army.

The people around him naturally had no objections to Yuan Qing's naming, or, to them, it didn't matter to them, even if the name was "A Cat and A Dog".

After Xu Hao finished speaking, Yuan Qing took the initiative to stand up and looked around:

"Gentlemen, this battle is related to the entire southern war, and even the success or failure of this national war. If it succeeds, several states in the south will be at peace overnight. If it fails, the advantages, military achievements, and prestige accumulated since the Battle of Montana will be lost. There is even a danger of overall collapse..."

"Therefore, we, the soldiers, should serve the country with loyalty and loyalty, and it is our duty to wrap our bodies in horse leather..."

After Yuan Qing finished speaking, there was a burst of "oath" all around.

Only Xu Hao silently looked at Yuan Qing's thin figure and sighed in his heart, but soon his eyes became sharp again.

…………

In Longjiang Port, several months have passed since the last war. During these months, the Atlantic Fleet has relied on shipyards to repair damaged warships.

That is to transform the five captured American ships.

Longjiang Shipyard was originally the property of local boss Yan. However, due to over-expansion, boss Yan later sold the largest civilian shipyard in Longjiang to a Xijing businessman named Zhou in order to keep the Longjiang Group. .

After the boss surnamed Zhou took over, he systematically transformed and upgraded the shipyard. The most important thing was to upgrade its warship manufacturing capabilities and successfully obtain a military manufacturing license.

You must know that there are only a few of this license in the entire Han Dynasty. The Longjiang Shipyard can obtain it, which shows its strength.

.........

"Commander Lu, this is our factory's basic plan for the transformation of these American ships..."

As the factory director, Zhou Xin is the son of the current boss Zhou Hongye. Taking over the shipyard can be regarded as inheriting his father's business.

"We have modified three of the battleships to upgrade the communication system and install gun barrels common to our army..."

“The largest ship, the USS Boston, is not too seriously damaged and is expected to be re-entered in two weeks!!”

Zhou Xin pointed at the USS Boston battleship in front of him, which was still repairing its cannons on the slipway.

“Can it adapt to our army’s combat model??”

Lu Mushan asked a very professional question, that is, adaptability, or whether the warship can coordinate harmoniously with other warships in the Han fleet.

What sounds good means harmony, but what sounds bad actually means whether you can "complicitly".

"Commander Lu, although this battleship is an American product, many things are made in Britain. Whether it is speed or steering, it is actually the standard of the British Royal Navy..."

"It can be said that if this ship is repaired, it will be a new Qin-class battleship for our army!!"

Looking at this very determined "rich second generation", Lu Mushan put away those "unreliable" thoughts in his heart and asked in a much better tone than before:
"That cruiser is the fast cruiser??"

The cruiser Lu Mushan mentioned was actually the Bird that had a glimpse of the last naval battle, which was the so-called "high-speed cruiser".

"The current situation of the Flying Bird is relatively good, but we haven't fully understood some designs yet."

Facing the naval commander, Zhou Xin obviously did not have the usual habit of bragging, but instead talked honestly about the research progress of warships.

"This ship is very important and must be preserved intact, especially its technology!!"

“Try to be as independent and controllable as possible!!”

Listening to the words "autonomous and controllable", Zhou Xin instantly understood what Commander Lu meant, and then replied with a reassuring tone: "As long as we can do it, we will definitely do it, and if we can't do it, we will definitely work hard to do it." arrive!!"

Lu Mushan nodded slightly, and then set his sights on the huge Boston, which was still in the repair stage on the opposite slipway.
