Night is filled with night, all around it is shrouded in the night

Suddenly, a bright signal flare rose into the sky and exploded, followed by one flare after another. In the night, the exhausted American soldiers looked at everything in surprise.

The flares opened a corner of the night, and tanks surrounded the empty fields, with the black muzzles pointed straight ahead. They rushed to the road overnight and were actually trapped in the heavy encirclement of the armored forces.

"My God, the devil's army is coming, run away quickly."

"What are you running? Can you still run? Surrender... This battle cannot be fought."

After saying this, most of the people were deflated. The US military's return-to-support troops rushed back desperately since they received the military order in the morning, and almost broke their legs. As a result, they ran into the enemy's encirclement. How could they make sense?

As the first man dropped his gun and raised his hand, just like a plague spread, most of the US soldiers had no strength to resist anymore and threw the gun in front of the black hole muzzle.

"Don't lie down, don't sit down, put all the guns and bullets on the ground, and the disarmed soldiers continued to move forward, with hot soup and food in front of them."

The expeditionary soldiers holding the iron horn in their hands kept broadcasting in English, directing the surrendered soldiers to walk forward obediently.

After a while

Weapons on both sides of the road have piled up into hills. The hard-working American soldiers have worked hard for dozens of miles, but they have surrendered when they arrive on the ground. What's the matter?

It’s not that they don’t want to resist or that they don’t want to escape, but that they have exhausted their strength by being blindly commanded by the US military commander. Now they are hungry, thirsty and hungry, and are surrounded by heavy siege. How can they resist?

This US military officer and soldier who had fallen into the trap surrendered one by one. Following the instructions, they had to walk forward more than 10 kilometers before they could reach the prisoner-of-war shelter site. There must be some water, but don't think about food, there will be no food these days.

Otherwise, what if you have enough food and drink enough, and have the strength to resist?

The flares quickly fell. After the US military passed, no new flares rose into the sky. The surroundings were covered by dark night. The mechanized troops surrounding the pocket array were quietly waiting for the next prey, and Baba ran to take the bait.

This night

On several roads leading to Washington, Expeditionary Army soldiers were waiting for the US troops that had returned overnight to take the bait automatically.

Although there were US troops resisting during this period, in the unblocked field, under the fire net of heavy machine guns and artillery intertwined, any resistance was extremely fragile and futile. Except for the vain increase of casualties, it had no effect.

By dawn

The Expeditionary Force Mobile Corps has accommodated nearly 40,000 prisoners, killing and wounding nearly 3,000 people. The rest of them are all fleeing. The Mobile Corps has no time to inquire, and there is no time to arrest them.

In addition to the more than 10,000 American troops captured in the Harrington Defense War, the Mobile Corps already had more than 50,000 prisoners, which became a huge burden for them. It is definitely not allowed to be discarded. So many prisoners fleeing into Washington or Philadelphia will greatly increase the difficulty of the city's tough battle.

Even if so many prisoners are killed, they must not be killed. We must give certain reasonable treatment. This has become the most troublesome problem for the two leaders of the Mobile Corps.

"Teacher Wu, please give me at least one armored battalion in charge of the prisoners. I don't want the main tank, just cheetah light tanks, you can get at least 40.

I placed them in Harrington town. They captured them to solve the problem of eating and drinking water and managed it themselves. They could eat what they could find, and they would be hungry if they could not find it.

I sent a main force to guard the various roads leaving the town. The tanks of the armored battalion need to guard the key points and bridges to maintain the maximum deterrence. Otherwise, if the prisoner camp of tens of thousands of people explodes, I really don’t know how to end it?”

Major General Gu Haikang scratched his head with some worries, and he wanted to take advantage of the prisoners' forces, because there was neither a prisoner's camp nor a suitable place, so he could only trap the prisoners in Harrington Town.

In this way, at least a force of no less than 5,000 people must be formed. In addition, more than a thousand casualties in previous consecutive battles need to be settled, which accounts for almost one-third of Shangri-La's military strength.

Brigadier General Wu Baoli was also in trouble. He said he was an armored division, but in fact he lacked a heavy tank regiment. He added several companies of wild wolf light tanks, which can be said to be not complete.

The main combat force is two armored tank regiments, with a total of 6 battalions.

The battles continued to fight for 500 kilometers along the way, and the vehicles that were damaged were negligible, and there were many vehicles that were trapped. According to statistics from the entire division, there were nearly 50 tanks.

The division headquarters and various regiments fought day and night to repair the chariots that were trapped. Then dozens of wild wolf light tanks were given out, and the force of the mobile strike was too short.

He thought it seriously and said sincerely;

"Teacher Gu, I can't give you so many armored vehicles, up to 20 wild wolf light tanks, but the German regiment in the mobile corps can be handed over to you, and dozens of British people are also placed here. They may not be able to fight, so it is still OK to help with psychological counseling for prisoners.

Next step

I plan to temporarily postpone the attack on Washington, but instead attack quickly along the path of US military's return to aid, defeating the enemy's numerous defense lines in one fell swoop, and responding to the main force of the Eastern Corps of the Expeditionary Force to head north.

The lofty honor of occupying Washington should be coordinated and planned by the main force of the Corps.

As frontline commanders, we can only consider issues from a military perspective and make the most reasonable choices. What do you mean?"

"Yes, I support your decision." Although Major General Gu Haikang has a higher rank, the special decision of the operation of the mobile strike corps should be the 4th Division of the Royal Imperial Guards as the main force, and the Shangri-La Division is in a subordinate position.

The two big hands held each other tightly, looked at each other and reached a tacit understanding.

Looking at the young and resolute face of Brigadier General Wu, Major General Gu Haikang sighed in his heart. The opportunity of Deputy Commander Wu was so good. The contribution of destroying the country was imminent, but Lieutenant General Zhao Jiaxiong was ill in bed and handed over this huge contribution to Brigadier General Wu.

He seized this opportunity tightly and led the mobile corps to make a beautiful left hook, detour for more than 500 kilometers, and won consecutive battles, and entered the suburbs of Washington with unstoppable momentum, showing a brilliant performance.

At the critical moment, you can avoid making a breakthrough in the face of huge temptations and achieve success in front of you.

Major General Gu Haikang looked relieved at this moment; he was already old, but the rise of a new generation of generals would not worry about not having a successor!

The empire's prosperity and prosperity were the country's fortunes. The stars of the army and sea generals shone out in succession, and together they supported the backbone of the empire's strong military power. It's a gratifying congratulations!

No matter in any era

It is undoubtedly the first contribution to killing generals and robbing the kings.

Can a mobile corps of more than 30,000 people not defeat Washington?

It should be said that you are 60% to 70%, but you will definitely have to pay a huge price, and it is not a arduous battle that can be fought in three or five days.

Armored troops are good at fighting in the field, raiding and detouring on a large scale, splitting and interspersing, and defeating the enemy infantry defense line with crushing power. They are attack iron fists in field battles.

The particularity of urban combat is more suitable for infantry troops to attack.

Considering Washington's special political status and huge influence in the United States, it is a foregone conclusion that the US military has resisted and defended to the death. Don't look at the US military's defeat in the field, as if it was a mess of sand. In fact, that's an illusion.

The United States' federal army composed of militias was still quite bloody, otherwise the sacrifice would not have been so great.

However, when encountering an overwhelming armored corps assault on the weak flanks in the wild, they are not at the same level in terms of weapons and equipment and officer command, so they are beaten to pieces and fall into a huge rush.

It’s not that the American militia is not determined to resist, but that the commander is too bad.

The US military command was in a hurry and failed, demonstrating its great incompetence in military command.

If more than 30,000 infantry and more than 300 armored vehicles in the Harrington defense battle were placed in the city war, they would cause serious damage to the mobile corps.

Not to mention one day, you may not be able to get it down for ten days.

The hasty mobilization of US troops on the nearby defense line to return to the aid was a big defeat. When these exhausted US soldiers arrived at the suburbs of Washington, they had no resistance to the armored expeditionary army that they had been waiting for.

It would be better to let them stay on the defensive line, and it would be better to fight step by step.

Therefore, one general was incompetent and exhausted the three armies.

These days, more than 150,000 American soldiers who have been captured, injured, and fled have exceeded 150,000. The same number is the same for the US soldiers who are still on the defense line. There are probably less than 30,000 urban militias and federal troops stationed in Washington. If we mobilize the elderly and children, we can have more.

With such a battlefield situation, the US military faces a major defeat in the Battle of Washington.

Originally, the US military had hoarded more than 300,000 heavy troops on the Washington defense line, which was more than 80 kilometers long and more than 100 kilometers wide, and could fight against the 100,000 Eastern Expeditionary Force.

After the roundabout side attack of the mobile strike regiment, the maneuver has formed a huge gap in the entire defense site, annihilated and defeated 150,000 US military forces.

The current situation is 150,000 to 100,000. The US military's defense line is attacked from both sides. On the southern front, the US military has not realized that the rear defense line is completely empty. This is the fighter jet, and it is time to give a fatal blow.

Considering that the soldiers were too tired to fight continuously, the Mobile Corps set off again to fight towards the southern Washington defense line after a short rest.

Three days later

The defense line of Washington, which was attacked from both sides, completely collapsed. More than 20,000 American soldiers on the defense line were killed or injured, more than 70,000 were captured, and more than 60,000 were left to flee.

The main corps of the Imperial Expeditionary Force and the Mobile Strike Corps met successfully, and rushed all the way with great momentum. Nearly 100,000 troops surrounded Washington.

Now, there are 100,000 to 30,000, and the expeditionary force has an absolute advantage in force.

The Expeditionary Force defeated the Washington defense line defended by the US 360,000 troops in just over ten days, which really surprised the whole world.
