Chapter 1023 Victory will eventually belong to the United States
North America
September 5th at the morning
A large number of Japanese soldiers wearing dark blue military uniforms poured into Juarez, Mexico, with guns and live ammunition, a city located on the U.S.-Mexico border. It is only more than ten kilometers away from the border between the two countries.
Scattered gunshots came from time to time in the city and soon came to an abrupt end.
The Japanese soldiers who looked tired did not stop at all, rode tall horses or took trucks along the avenue north of the center of Juarez to the US-Mexico border, and kept moving forward.
A large number of local Mexican residents hid in their homes in horror, and could only peek out through the windows, watching the murderous Japanese soldiers passing by the street in front of them, and rolling iron streams toward the north.
God, what exactly happened?
Everyone had such a question in their hearts. Soon the Japanese translators arrived, holding a big iron horn in their hands and repeatedly and loudly promoted them in stiff Spanish;
"All local urban residents have noticed that this is a crossing of the Fuso Empire's army. We will not take the initiative to hurt anyone and will leave soon. Please do not make any hostile moves, otherwise it will cause serious consequences. This is a harsh warning."
"Please do not make any hostile actions, this is a harsh warning..."
At this time, the confused Mexican man found his clue and then became angry.
Immediately, several local people who seemed quite identifiable came forward and found the Japanese officers and began to argue with excitement. The two sides were obviously unhappy in their talks, because the Japanese officer waved his hand and the soldiers around him raised their rifles and fired.
"Smack it..."
After a crisp gunshot, the Mexicans in charge of negotiations all fell in pools of blood and were already poisoned by the Japanese army.
At this moment, the Japanese army showed a cruel side.
If Mexico was not one of the observers of the Pacific Security Alliance, Fuso, as a world power, would not look at him directly. It was just a poor, backward and inferior agricultural country. Apart from a larger territory, shed tears by the Americans, she had nothing to say.
Not long after
A burst of rapid gunfire came from the border line, which lasted for more than ten minutes and then ended abruptly, and then there was a long silence.
It is obvious that the US military forces on the border were attacked.
The task force under the Fusang North American General Command crossed the US-Mexico border with a strong wind swept away fallen leaves and rushed into the southern oilfield area. The local US troops were completely unprepared and surrendered after several hastily battles.
After the success, the Japanese army was divided into two groups, with the powerful Fifth Division as the main force, and took the train to sneak north to attack cities such as Rio Rancho and Santa Fe more than 400 kilometers away. The soldiers climbed onto the long oil tank train and tied themselves tightly to the top of the tank, the lower part of the tank truck, and the connection of the carriage. As long as there are Japanese soldiers in any place where people can stand, they look like a third brother.
Several empty cars were hung behind the oil tank train to carry ammunition and artillery. After loading, one after another, oil tank trains drove out of the station and roared towards the north.
The other route was mainly composed of the Ninth Division. After conquering the southern oil field Las Cruces without any bloodshed, in addition to leaving a gang to guard the oil field, most of the other officers and soldiers immediately set off again after a short rest and followed the spacious and flat New Mexico Highway in the United States to fight back.
About 4 pm
The Ninth Division advanced nearly 100 kilometers forward to reach Lordsburg, the key logistics base in the southern US military. Without rest, they immediately entered a fierce attack.
Nearly 10,000 US soldiers and more than 30,000 militias were mostly on vacation, completely disorganized. Faced with the aggressive Ninth Division, there was almost no resistance. The thin resistance was quickly torn apart. Lordsburg fell without surprise. The Japanese army completely cut off the US military's backbone of Bowie Fortress and fell into a dangerous situation of attacking east and west.
After the Japanese army gained power, they did not let others attack the United States in the early morning of the next day. At this moment, the US military was in desperate situation and panicked. They never expected that the Japanese army would kill behind the butt and cut off the only life supply line of the US military.
After a day and a half after a bloody battle, Bowie Fortress fell.
Japanese soldiers rushed from the Bisby area like tides, took convenient railway traffic through the city of Las Cruces, and turned north. They rushed to the north in cities such as Rio Rancho and Santa Fe, which had been occupied by the Japanese Fifth Division, and rushed to Wagenmande, a major city in central New Mexico, and fought fiercely with more than 60,000 meters of national militias that had gathered together.
After two days of bloody battle, the Japanese army captured Wagenmand again and recovered the city that the US army had occupied at a heavy price. After a little rectification, they continued to march north.
September 11
On the seventh day after the outbreak of the Second US-Japan War, the Japanese army occupied the city of Raton, a border between New Mexico and Colorado, and burned the war into Colorado.
September 17
The Japanese army occupied Fort Walson, Colorado and threatened the central city of Denver, which shocked the whole United States and the whole world.
At this time, the Americans had already awakened from the initial series of failed strikes, and what followed was the anger like a tide. Militia from the eastern and central states continued to arrive in Colorado City, and had accumulated nearly 100,000 troops in this small city, and built three trench defensive fronts and countless barbed wire mesh.
Behind Colorado City, the second-line defensive position was built in the remote suburbs of Denver based on the terrain. Nearly 20,000 troops and a large amount of military supplies arrived every day. There was also the only armored division of the United States, with a total of 16,000 soldiers and a large number of equipment from the US Army's First Armored Division, which has a total of 16,000 troops and a large number of equipment, and has also arrived at the Denver front line one after another.
In today's United States, huge humiliation and shared hatred of the enemy led to a volcano-eruption of patriotism. Even though we know that the battle is extremely dangerous and bloody, millions of white young people still signed up to join the army (militia, the same below), vowing to beat out all the farts of the Fusang Japanese.
Marshal Oyama Iwa is a commander with extremely rich combat experience. After the Japanese army occupied Fort Wolson, he ordered to stop advancing and build fortifications on the spot to prepare for the overall situation of the US military.
In addition, we must make free efforts to solve the heavy U.S. military force besieged on the central New Mexico border.
In the previous U.S.-Japan border dispute, one was in the middle and the other was in the south, with large east-west transportation channels, which were also the focus of the border dispute between the two countries and the fortress area where heavy troops were stationed. The U.S. military has more than 80,000 army troops stationed in the above two places, and nearly 200,000 militia troops assisted in the defense.
Now that the Bowie Fortress in the south has fallen, the 34,000 army soldiers and more than 70,000 militias in the area have been annihilated, the rest have raised their hands to be prisoners, and are now staying obediently in the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp.
In the central Gallup area
The US military has nearly 46,000 army soldiers and more than 100,000 militias, and has built sufficient and complete logistics facilities, stocked up massive materials, owned more than 1,700 artillery and more than 220 armored vehicles, and was able to stand independently for more than one year.
The US troops stationed in the favorable terrain of the Colorado Plateau have built a defense line nearly 100 kilometers from Gallup and Milan. This is a must-pass place for railways and highways. It can reach Las Vegas and Wagenmand to the east and Los Angeles to the west. It is the main transportation artery connecting New Mexico to Arizona, and it is now cut off by the US military.
The current form is extremely unfavorable to the US military, with enemies on both sides of the east and west, while the south is deserted, and the north is the insurmountable Colorado Plateau and the Great Rift Valley terrain, which is often uninhabited for hundreds or thousands of kilometers.
For the surrounded US military, besides surrender, they can only stand guarding and wait for assistance.
Fortunately, they have a well-built solid defense line, sufficient military strength and sufficient supply of ammunition and medicine, and have the necessary conditions for persisting for a long time.
The highest commander of the Gallup area is General Fred C-Arsworth, the chief of staff of the US Army who is inspecting here. He is a veteran general who has experienced the "Wool War" and the First American-Japanese War. His personality is as tenacious as the dried old cowhide, and surrender is not at all his choice.
After the war broke out, he immediately took over the command and quickly organized militias to participate in the battle. He repelled dozens of attacks from the Fifth Division and firmly defended the town of Milan.
On this basis
Around the town of Milan, General Fred C-Arsworth redeployed a new line of defense, relied on the highlands, rivers and other favorable terrain to form artillery positions and heavy machine gun positions, and dug four trenches of 47 kilometers long, set up open bunkers, and laid out one barbed wire after another, forming an insurmountable front.
Two weeks after the war broke out
The Gallup Fortress area repelled dozens of Japanese attacks, causing the Japanese army to pay a sufficient price of blood on the solid defense line, but still failed to advance. This became a thorn blocking Marshal Dashanyao's throat, and he had to turn around and launch the Gallup Battle to completely remove this pain point.
Internationally
London was furious about the war between Japan and the United States again. At the beginning of the war, it sent several telegrams a day, with extremely harsh words warning the Fuso government to stop and not push the international situation to the more dangerous brink.
On the other hand, the Philadelphia-US government was strongly advised not to escalate the scale of the war.
Unfortunately, when you open the bow, where can you turn around?
The two countries that were red-eyed and had their full efforts to enter the war. Fuso still had the least perfunctory treatment, while the Americans angrily asked the British ambassador to tell the London government;
This war was initiated by the shameless Fusang Kingdom. When will it end? It must be decided by the Americans. No other country has the right to argue. The Americans will choose to fight to the end until all the invaders are completely driven out of the American territory.
