The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Marshall's promise was very straightforward, but the actual implementation was extremely hard, because he didn't know how to fight this battle.

However, he gathered everyone he could find, and Henry Stimson, the Secretary of the Army, personally led the formation and gathered the stars---of course, there were also a large group of generals who were now confronting the Zhu's army on the front line in Nevada, but almost all the generals in the east did not come. All are here, including Sudrum of the First Army, with his deputy, Major General Omar Bradley, etc., and some who have been temporarily idled due to the defeat in the Pacific War, such as George Patton.

Of course, Eisenhower, who has never been the leader, got his wish and was promoted to brigadier general, and as the director of the newly established combat planning office, he participated in this crucial meeting.

The meeting was not held at the Army General Headquarters, which had become a key target. They were in the underground fortress not far from the White House. Under heavy protection, it was difficult for them to get together.

Thanks to the high-power central air-conditioning system produced in China, the deep underground fortress is not particularly stuffy, the air flow is smooth, the hum of the ventilation fan, and the unique sound of the fluorescent tube have become the mainstream, and the rest of the telegraph transmission, telephone calls, etc. Being deliberately lowered by the staff, no one wants to run into the bad luck of the generals at this time!

Minister Stimson is here to act as a Bodhisattva, and the specific situation will naturally be presented by Chief of Staff Marshall, whom Mr. President trusts very much.But in fact, there is nothing to say, Marshall briefly explained.He said frankly: "Generals and gentlemen. The matter is at hand. If we can't stop the Chinese attack from the air, there is only one way to destroy them from the land! Otherwise, the United States will be in big trouble! We, There will be big trouble!"

Everyone knows that once the United States goes bankrupt and disintegrates, it may become a defeated country.What a terrible threat it will be, not to mention whether the Chinese will settle accounts after the autumn, and have cramps. Hitler's Germany, which is eyeing so covetously, must take advantage of the fire.

This is very frustrating.The powerful United States has the largest industrial scale and productivity in the world, the most balanced social structure and the most convenient mobilization ability.No matter what, you shouldn't be a loser!In the final analysis, it was the navy's carelessness first, and the sudden loss of the west coast, which caused the enemy to go ashore later, and accumulated, leading to today's overall passiveness.

Of course there are deeper reasons.No one can tell.On the surface of a country with a federal system, the real controllers are consortia and bankers. They are mercenary and don't care what country is or is not. Interests are always put first, objectively.dragged its feet. [

How to fight the war?Everyone was frowning, smoking cigarettes.In short, he didn't speak.

The situation is obvious. In the past six months, the Chinese have only been on the main defense, all-out air combat, and the "sexual" attack of the ground forces have kept everyone at the periphery. If they want to rush to the target California, they must cross the desolate Nevada And Arizona, regardless of the air force or the army, must face the difficulty of traveling long distances, and the terrain provides great convenience for the defense of the west.

Seeing that no one was willing to make a statement, Marshall pointed to the general, pointing to Eisenhower, who was not young but had a low rank: "Dwight! Recently, you have been in charge of intelligence analysis and combat plan formulation of the enemy forces on the frontline battlefield. , if you have any good suggestions, report them!"

Brigadier General Eisenhower took a deep breath, and he didn't feel depressed or apprehensive when he was forced to the front desk. On the contrary, deep down in his heart, he felt that he wanted to seize the precious opportunity and show his talents to the fullest, so as to bring out those who were in the same class. People, such as Bradley, George Patton, etc., are now at least major generals, and guys who are about to be promoted to lieutenant generals, the gap between them has been re-leveled!

He opened a folder that he carried with him, and there were thick documents inside, it seemed that he had prepared it long ago.Quickly browsing the title of the homepage, he raised his head and glanced at a large number of shining generals and "forced" gazes, and said calmly: "My opinion is that the best thing is to follow the Chinese people to negotiate a truce.”

Without waiting for other people to make a fuss, or say the accusation against him --- although he knew that this was the most appropriate, Eisenhower immediately followed up: "Of course we all know that it is an unlikely decision. Then for those who have already boarded the Enemies on our land must adopt an unconventional and resolute attack strategy!"

"What kind of resolute method? Don't you think that our previous battles were all about playing games? Brigadier General, please pay attention! The boys of the Army and Air Force have paid a huge price for half a year! The blood they bleed can be dyed red Nevada Desert!"

A veteran general pointed out his false arguments very pointedly.What a joke, this is tantamount to slapping the front-line generals in the face!

Marshall was a little "confused". According to his understanding, Eisenhower was a very stable guy who rarely offended anyone.Why did it change today?

However, the talents he valued would not be easily overwhelmed. He raised his hand to stop other people from questioning him, and looked at Eisenhower: "Dwight, keep talking!"

This already shows his supportive attitude.Although the veterans were unhappy, they couldn't directly refute his face. They all stared at Mr. Brigadier General fiercely with gloomy eyes.

Eisenhower seemed unaffected at all, with calm eyes and clear words: "We have always hoped to use uninterrupted open space to attack and drag down the Chinese defense. But it turns out that they are not in terms of manpower and weapon preparation. Not too bad. And because of the advantage of equipment, the loss ratio is much smaller. Of course, it bought precious time for us to form and train a large number of troops, and at the same time let them gain a firm foothold. Overall, our strategy is not dominant .”

It was a little more tactful, but the generals could tell that this guy didn't take the previous battle plan seriously!

Come to think of it, he was right.China has the largest population and the largest number of soldiers. If you play a war of attrition with them, the manpower and the number of aircraft can keep up. The exchange ratio is [-]:[-] or even [-]:[-].No matter how rich and powerful the United States is, it is limited after all.

That's not included.During the battle, due to the existence of Chinese guided missile troops and fast attack aircraft, they can reach the bases, airports, and military camps along the front line, and have to face bombing damage at any time. No matter how advanced the American machinery is, it will take time for you to repair it, right?Not to mention, Zhu Jiajun's insidious vigor, the place after the bombing.There are unexploded mothers and daughters and bombs everywhere, and just getting rid of these things will kill people! [

Efficiency, in the final analysis, the U.S. military has not exerted much efficiency in the six months of war!No matter how frequent the attendance rate is, it cannot erase the influence of this aspect.

The generals didn't speak much.This is a well-known thing!

Eisenhower straightened his back, his eyes sparkled with wisdom: "Now, our aircraft R&D and manufacturing have reached a relatively high level, which should greatly widen the gap with the Chinese. As for the Army, we The new tanks and armored vehicles have also been put into use in batches. Overall, the army’s attack capability has been greatly improved! The most important thing is that the number of troops that can be mobilized has been greatly improved compared to before. Therefore, I think, we should Make full use of this superiority in numbers. Launch an all-round attack on an unprecedented scale!"

"All-round attack? Have you ever thought about how to avoid being killed by the damn super bombs of the Chinese guys? Their power is too great, and their delivery methods are hard to defend! Are you going to let us send them out one by one division by division? ?”

These words almost spoke out the hearts of everyone.

Zhu Bin's super explosion, shock wave, is chilling!

If there are less, it's okay to say, this guy will make dozens of them once he releases them, making it impossible for people to figure out how many he has produced!A single shot can destroy a small city with terrifying power. If a group of troops attack, it will be like delivering food!

"of course not!"

Eisenhower shook his head very calmly: "We need to learn from the Far East Army's jungle and mountain warfare thinking, completely dismantle the previous large-scale offensive group army, and adopt the action strategy of day and night, and attack the enemy from the vast battlefield. The army's main defense core area, and finally at the same time, continuous contact with the enemy, firmly sticking to their main ground force, mixing the enemy and ourselves, and making their air and special strike capabilities lose room to play!"

Mr. Brigadier General is very shrewd. He knows that many of the things he put forward are likely to cause controversy, so he didn't waste time. He took out a piece of camouflage fabric and a bunch of photos from the folder and put them on the table for everyone to see. At the same time, he explained : "We have been inspired by the Chinese camouflage uniforms, and have developed a kind of camouflage cloth specially used in the western theater! According to experiments, military uniforms, tents and Camouflage cloth can greatly reduce the probability of detection by aerial reconnaissance!"

The colorful and gaudy camouflage made the generals widen their eyes.

They are no strangers to "camouflage" uniforms. All the Chinese troops have changed into these uniforms, but the specific techniques are kept secret.Only some samples were obtained from former allies, but unfortunately, for a long time, researchers could not even analyze the coding strategy and dye data used in it.

What Eisenhower provided was undoubtedly a timely good thing, which immediately made everyone forget to criticize him.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Mr. Brigadier General smiled secretly, and continued: "We spread out with a small force, relying on camouflage, flooded the periphery of Nevada like a flood, and kept moving forward. As long as the air strikes The density is enough to hold back all their ground reconnaissance attack forces, and after a while, we will push countless troops to their front!"

"very good!"

Marshall leads the applause.The generals froze for a moment, and slapped their hands a little reluctantly.However, some people still raised objections: "Dwight, are you sure our soldiers can cross the [-]-mile desolate land and reach the enemy's defense line with light equipment? I don't think this is a good idea!"

The physical strength of infantry is limited after all.To achieve "suddenness", it is necessary to reduce the amount of mechanized transportation, trekking three hundred miles on foot, it is desperate to think about it!

Eisenhower had been prepared for a long time, and he drew two circles on the Jovona Mountain in northern Nevada and the Little Shawnee Mountain in central Nevada: "We don't need to do it in one step. The first strategic goal is to move the troops to these two areas. ! There are two vast mountainous areas of more than 30 square kilometers, which is enough for us to guarantee temporary accommodation and supplies for 50 to 100 troops! Then, the other troops will serve as the second echelon from the rear. Way to move here. I believe that we have the ability to continuously send people up with an interval of more than [-] miles!"

"But in this way, the first wave of attacks will inevitably be under great pressure!"

Everyone present has experienced how strong the Chinese are, and a small number of troops went up.That's food delivery!Once the second wave cannot be supported, or if it is simply used as a refueling tactic, it will be called a sad reminder!

Eisenhower showed a rare sharpness: "We have no other choice! If the Chinese cannot be driven away as soon as possible, you must know the consequences better than me! This time, it will be an unprecedented bloody battle! We must do our best Bad mental preparation!"

That's what it means.An unprecedented great sacrifice!

The generals were silent for a while, because they couldn't judge how much casualties the United States could bear.Is it really necessary to stain Nevada with blood?Or lose millions of people like the participating countries in World War I!God, will the people rebel!

Chief of Staff Marshall looked around, and no one seemed to object.Gan Gang asserted: "I support Dwight's plan! Before there is no better proposal, we don't have any time to hesitate! Gentlemen, let's vote!"

Democracy should be fully developed!Minister Stimson held the line, and there was no room for rebellion.He hesitated for a while, thinking about the sky falling down.There was a tall man supporting it, with a dozen arms raised high.

passed.Then, there is intense execution!

However, there was also an accident. George Patton, who had been idle, stood up and offered to be the commander of the first wave of offensive troops, leading the rebuilt Second Armored Division, serving as the vanguard of the Seventh Army, and launching a leapfrog attack strategy.

This is the United States. If it were any other country, if it was captured alive and lost an entire heavy armored division, it would be kindness not to order it to retire.Patton still retained his military rank, but Marshall couldn't bear to waste this precious talent.At this time, he could take the initiative to take the role. After thinking about it, His Excellency the Chief of Staff agreed.

As a result, Major General Bradley, who was in the First Army in the East, also stated that he would also go to the front line to fight: "I don't want to read those chat reports all day in New York, General, I want to personally participate in the battle. The ideal since joining the army!"

Marshall agreed.In a battle that is related to the life and death of the United States, he can't wait for the talents he is optimistic about to shine!

The front line of the Nevada battlefield will soon usher in a group of new commanders, as well as new equipment and tactics.

During the continuous battle for half a year, the U.S. Army has basically trained a batch and sent them up after the equipment is finished. Now, there are more than 50 main troops surrounding the three sides of a state!In the states behind them, Utah, Montana, New Mexico, and Wyoming, a large number of forward bases were filled with countless troops and mechanized weapons units.

Once the industrial machinery of the United States is started, countless steels are turned into weapons, and the speed is really terrifying!On the contrary, the recruiting and training of soldiers slowed down. In the past six months, it has only made up for the troops lost before, and the other is to form more troops.It can be said that from top to bottom, a whole bunch of recruits are in charge!

A large number of "camouflage" uniforms, camouflage cloths, tents, and other new gadgets that can camouflage people and weapons and vehicles without being exposed to the outside at all will rush to the front within a few days, and the core will be transferred Salt Lake City, one of the stations, has become the focus of attention.

Just a few days later, Eisenhower's leap-frog skirmisher offensive tactics were officially implemented. The first batch of 20 infantry either rode vehicles, or drove tanks, or even rode bicycles and motorcycles. Supernatural powers, carrying water and food for at least three days, taking advantage of the night, ants scattered into the depths of Nevada that was about to become ruins, and went straight to the target!

What a cruel and dangerous march!Large-scale mechanized operations are not possible, they are very far apart from each other, and there is no way to trek. Once the food is exhausted, it is necessary to find airdrops for supplies, otherwise, it may kill people.

The whole plan is very large and involves a wide range of aspects, requiring the coordination of land and air.On the one hand, it is the large-scale air attack that attracts the main attention, and at the same time fish in troubled waters, airdropping a large amount of supplies to the designated midway supply point in advance.

Secondly, there must be a force equipped with a strong air defense force to make a routine approach to attract the attention of the enemy and cause misjudgment.As for the real attacking force, it is necessary to disperse and move forward, hiding whereabouts as much as possible.It's really not easy to do this!

At present, Zhu's army's front on the west coast is mainly concentrated in the three focal points of Carson, Las Vegas and Phoenix, but they are not passively defending. .For the ground forces, there are always small groups of special forces active in the central mountainous area and various places, constantly searching and reconnaissance, and once they find a large enemy force, they will immediately call for air or long-range artillery strikes.

Such "sexual" tactics dragged down the US military for half a year.This time, Eisenhower's adaptation to local conditions, I don't know if he can really solve this problem and successfully reverse it?

No one can make a judgment in advance, even Eisenhower himself is not [-]% sure.But at least he is much better than others who have no way, at least, he can find a feasible way!

Nevada is full of grasslands, undulating mountains, large Gobi desert, and complex and varied terrain, which is most suitable for mountain troops and armored troops.This time, more than 1000 chariots of various types poured into the battlefield!
