Li Xiaozu was writing hard before the case. His memorials were an important basis for the current emperor to judge the situation in North America. They were presented at an average rate of every three to four days. Now the Empire has opened a North American airmail service, and the secret letters can be reached in the fastest of five days.

It has been more than half a year since the outbreak of the Second US-Japan War in September last year.

Fusang won one victory and one loss in two key battles, especially when attacking the Gallup Fortress, the heavy logistical burden caused by the large number of soldiers' casualties also made the Japanese base camp more awake.

The Americans are not soft persimmons. They defend more artillery, more ammunition, and better army equipment. Although they are not as tenacious as Tsarist Russia in the battle, don’t forget that this is the courage to fight in the local area of ​​the Americans and be able to revive the courage to die in desperate situations.

So the Japanese army actively prepared for war on the one hand, and on the other hand, they attempted to dismantle the US military's resistance in the Gallup Fortress area by airdropping letters from US prisoners of war and shouting from the air.

General Fred C-Arsworth, Chief of Staff of the US Army, was trapped in the Gallup area. His personal town greatly stimulated the US military's will to resist, making it difficult for the Japanese army to disintegrate morale to succeed.

The aviation industry of the United States and Japan has just begun, and their existing aircraft design and manufacturing capabilities cannot support large-scale air combat at all. As a result, they have to import a large number of first-generation "spindle" fighters and "shock" light bombers from the Ocean Empire, and launch fierce air combat in the Gallup area and Denver.

According to the request of Admiral Fred, the United States imported 360 "Shrew" light bombers, and for the first time in the world, it carried out large-scale airdrops and air bombings on the Gallup area. The main materials for the airdrop were various medicines. Each messenger transport aircraft could carry two airdrop boxes, each weighing about 95 pounds.

Peak times

Hundreds of US transport aircraft can drop medicines from the Gallopol area to a scale of more than 50 tons per day, with an average of two flights per aircraft.

This greatly alleviated the shortage of medicines in the fortress area and treated a large number of wounded soldiers.

While airdropping medicines, the US military airdropped the soldiers' home letters in a targeted manner, which greatly encouraged the soldiers' courage to continue fighting.

According to current statistics;

The total number of "spindle" fighter jets imported by the United States and Japan was 1,330, and the United States, which has stronger economic strength, accounted for the majority. It has lost about one-third of the imported "Shy" light bombers in months of battle, and the losses of the imported "Shy" light bombers were even more serious. The US military imported 360 aircraft at the time, and roughly estimated that the losses were between 150 and 160 aircraft.

The Japanese army imported 66 "Shrew" light bombers, which also lost more than half of them.

In the sky of North America

Fighters of the same model from the Ocean Empire roared and flew back and forth, and the fuselage was covered with different banners from the United States and Japan, fighting fiercely, and interpreting a spectacular air battle scene.

Since February 17, 2016

After several months of preparation, the Japanese army launched another tough battle in the Gallup area. The bloody battle has lasted for more than a month. With the support of powerful artillery, significant progress has been made.

The US military's defense line on the Colorado Plateau Fortress broke through two consecutive roads, and the east defense line was also captured. The entire fortress area was compressed by more than half, and its range was reduced from more than 170 square kilometers to less than 80 square kilometers, achieving phased results.

After the outbreak of the Second Gallup Battle in the New Year, in order to alleviate the huge defensive pressure in the Gallup area, the US military launched a full-scale attack on the Denver Battle in the north on February 23, concentrating 420,000 troops on the Japanese defense line, and the battle was quite bloody and tragic.

Before the war, the US military concentrated more than 2,100 large and medium-caliber artillery pieces and carried out 12-hour bombings on the Japanese army on the Colorado defense line, consuming more than 1.4 million shells, truly demonstrating what "the amount of ammunition in an industrial country" is?

In the face of fierce fire strikes, the Japanese ground troops suffered heavy casualties. They did not build a solid trench defense line on the western front of Europe, and did not have a complete anti-aircraft trench system of 30 feet deep. The 11th and 22nd Division, which was at the forefront, had a total of more than 46,000 officers and soldiers, and the casualties were as high as 29,000 in the artillery fire strikes. They were destroyed when they first met.

However, the Japanese army is indeed fierce in combat. Even though the casualties are so heavy, the remaining Japanese troops still launched counterattacks on the spot, using hidden castle heavy machine gun positions to carry out firepower and kill the US troops that are attacking densely.

The Japanese army in the second line in the rear quickly reinforced and fought hard for 4 days. In the face of the US military that was under heavy pressure, the Japanese army successively lost three lines of defense in Colorado and were not allowed to continue to survive.

The Japanese army left more than 4,200 remnants of the Matsumoto Brigade to defend the ruins of Colorado city to delay the US offensive pace. The remaining 115,000 remnants quickly retreated for more than 70 kilometers, returned to the line from Pueblo to Fort Watson, met with more than 30,000 local garrisons, and continued to stick to the defense line.

At this point, the US military won another game on the Denver defense line and won the Battle of Denver.

Now that we can review the Second US-Japan War, we can see the shadow of the European War.

The battle was large in scale and suffered heavy casualties. The two sides refused to give in to each other like bulls, which was the characteristic of the Second US-Japan War. The Japanese army's attacking spirit gradually faded in battles after battle, and it had already felt like they were unable to do so.

The first phase of the battle experienced a 58-day bloody battle, which ended before Christmas last year. Both sides of the battle were like beasts with wounds, licking the wounds on their bodies and accumulating strength again.

The second phase of the battle began on February 17 and has been more than January.

The US military that was standing in the Gallup Fortress area gradually could not support it, and the defeat was already obvious, but it also caused significant damage to the attacking Japanese army.

The current battle situation is very subtle. After a brief rest, the US military launched the Battle of Pueblo and Fort Watson in early March. A total of 550,000 troops from the United States and Japan broke out in a vast area of ​​more than 300 square kilometers.

The Japanese troops attacking Gallup Fortress gritted their teeth and continued to attack with guns and bullets.

Neither the United States nor Japan dared to breathe a sigh of relief. If the Japanese army took the lead in breaking the Gallup Fortress, it would mean that the Japanese army won the first victory, and the battle in the north naturally collapsed and there was no need to continue.

If the US military takes the lead in breaking through Fort Watson, there is only a chance to make great strides, like a fierce lion breaking into the soft inland hinterland and counterattack into the New Mexico region.

Then, the Japanese army is in danger and faces the terrible prospect of collapse.

Although Fusang's local area continuously transports troops forward, the journey is too far and the cost is too high, and it gradually feels like it cannot be defeated.

Fusang could not afford to spend any amount of money in the battle of the US military in the attack. In the second battle of attacking the Gallup Fortress, the Japanese army bombarded violently for an hour and a half in pre-war artillery preparations, consuming 23,000 shells, which was already a big deal.

During the battle of attacking Pueblo, the US military once again used the "Industrial State Ammunition Volume" killer weapon, gathered more than 1,850 large and medium-caliber artillery to bombard for two days and two nights, and fired more than 1.2 million shells again, shattering the entire defense line.

Nearly half of the casualties of the Japanese army were caused by US artillery fire.

More than 85% of the casualties of the US military were in combat, and they were shot by guns and only more than 10% of the casualties were caused by artillery, and they were mainly small and medium-sized artillery.

Now the United States and Japan are fighting fiercely, and the specific casualties cannot be counted.

According to rough estimates

As of the end of March, the casualties of the Japanese army should be between 60,000 and 80,000, and the casualties of the US army should be between 75,000 and 100,000. The US army suffered more casualties in the northern battles, and basically 2.5 to 3 people were exchanged for one Japanese army. The Japanese army had higher combat skills, more tenacious and fierce fighting style.

Take the Battle of the Ruins of Colorado Springs as an example;

More than 4,200 Japanese troops in the remaining Matsumoto Brigade knew they would die, and fought back frantically in the ruins of the city and the castle, causing serious damage to the US military that used intensive formation attacks.

The US military forced to stop and plow the land inch by inch by inch by artillery fire, clearing it one by one like digging rats. After six days of hard work, the US military suffered 16,472 casualties, of which 10,000 were killed, seriously dragging down the attempt of the US senior management to quickly launch the next battle.

All Japanese Matsumoto Brigade were killed in battle, and only 11 Japanese soldiers who were stunned by artillery shells were captured. However, after waking up, the Japanese troops tried to snatch guns and resist, seven were killed, three died with the US troops with knives, and one person fell on the ammunition box filled with grenades in despair, and a grenade was fired.

The ammunition box exploded and caused more than 20 casualties among US officers and soldiers. The news was reported to the US military command, causing a huge shock.

The fierceness of the Fusang people, the tenacious fighting will, and the fighting style that never retreats until death like a dog-skin plaster made the Americans feel deeply troubled. They realized that solving the Fusang occupied area is by no means a matter of overnight success, but may be a long-term process.

This dog skin plaster sticks to your body, and it’s really painful to tear off the belt.

Li Xiaozu was in North America and could more intuitively feel the cruelty of the war. A large number of seriously injured Japanese soldiers were transferred to hospitals in various North America by train. It was not calculated based on how many people were, but on how many trains were calculated based on how many trains were.

Of course, this kind of medical treatment is not a waste of time.

While tempering the war-rescuing medical staff, it also stimulated the great development of medical care in the north. There are more than 2,300 professors and students from Brisbane Medical University in North America, and more than 170 hospitals and medical teams in various hospitals and medical teams.

Through clinical diagnosis and treatment, the development of surgical procedures has been greatly promoted. So far, there are more than 20 new surgical procedures, with hundreds of medical papers reaching the world's advanced level, with economic interests second.

The medical industry under the North American Governor's Office has also developed rapidly. Since this year, eleven medium and large hospitals alone have been built one after another, providing strong medical logistics support for the Japanese army ahead.

There is no way, the Arizona Republic supported by the Fuso people is sparsely populated, and it is blank in terms of medical supplies and assistance, and it does not have basic medical treatment conditions at all.

All this can only be achieved by relying on the North American Governor's Office for help. Otherwise, more than 80% of these seriously injured people will die, and less than 20% of them can survive. These are all Yamato Warriors!

No matter how much debt is, the Japanese base camp will not give up on treatment.

The reason for the North American Governor's Office to take action was humanitarian assistance. These seriously injured Japanese soldiers could be rescued, and the recovery period would take at least three to five months. Many of them were accompanied by lifelong disabilities and would definitely not be able to go to the battlefield again.
