British representative: "You are going to attack the municipal government of your own city? Oh, it's ridiculous. Who gave you the order?"

German representative: "It's ridiculous. In our Germany, your behavior is called rebellion and treason! Oh, you also massacred civilians and burned houses. Oh my god, where did you come out of the barbaric army?

”

French representative: "As the birthplace of the spirit of freedom and democracy, I express my regret on behalf of my country, the United States has been independent for more than a hundred years, but it still retains its original and ignorant characteristics. Wouldn't you sit down and talk well? You have to move.

Gun? What is the reason for your attack? Is there anyone in that fortification that needs you to liberate?"

Austria-Hungarian representative: "Fight, you keep fighting. We just need to confirm that Princess Aishi is fine. Even if you fight, it doesn't matter to us! But if the princess is ill, hum, our country will be fine.

You declare war! Yes, your ears are normal, that is, declare war, in the name of our country's Joseph!"

Facing these people, Commander Xia Bo immediately sat down. Although he was the leader of an elite infantry division, he had no confidence in the face of this multi-national observation team.

So, he replied in a panic: "I, we are ordered by Congress to bring the Earl of North Sea, who is suspected of attacking our navy, back for interrogation! We have the temporary military control order issued by the government, and we have the right to take over everything in San Francisco.

Government affairs!”

Temporary... Military Control Order!?

When the delegations of the Observatory Mission heard this, some frowned, while others raised their eyebrows excitedly: Okay, the White House has also issued an interim military control order. Tsk, quickly pass the news back to Washington and tell the ambassador.

Your Excellency, now there is even more excuse to make a comeback from the United States!

Because of the sudden arrival of the observation team, the general attack that Commander Xia Bo was preparing to launch was ruined again. Moreover, Princess Ai Shili appeared in the city government building in a trance, so the observation representatives of the Austro-Hungarian Empire immediately raised a strong and domineering protest.

. Asking for Xia Bo to withdraw his troops, otherwise... it will be regarded as a US declaration of war against the Austro-Hungarian Empire!

So, June 8 was spent in a dispute.

In the next three days, Xia Bo seemed to be trapped in a swamp quagmire, and was hindered everywhere. Every day he heard Major General Miller's war reports sent back in different ways, and every day he was explaining disputes with the Multinational Observation Team... And here

During the three days, bad news kept coming around!

The first bad news is that Democratic leader Golof Cleveland finally made a sound in Washington. His identity as the next presidential candidate criticized Harrison's series of wrong policies to deal with the "cumulative crisis"!

And said: "Benjamin Harrison is introducing the United States into a very dangerous track..."

The second bad news is that the current California governor resigned because of the simple reason: he is a Republican, and the 338e Division's railway troop line... he approved it.

The third bad news is that the rest of California cities. For example, Sacramento, Los Angeles, San Jose, Fresno County, Emerging Little Harbor, San Diego, etc., all of their municipal governments have issued declarations to support San Francisco and oppose the savage invasion of the 338e Division!

The fourth bad news is that California hoarded state troops north of Sacramento, stepped forward and marched towards San Francisco on foot. Although the number of people was only more than one thousand. The equipment was ordinary, it was a military force that should not be underestimated.

...

Surrounded by a pile of bad news that was enough to make people feel overwhelmed, finally, on June 12, Commander Xia Bo, who was about to collapse, received a secret telegram from the military headquarters.

The beginning is a group of swearing words: Xia Bo, mlgb. What are you doing? Why didn’t you conquer San Francisco immediately? Now because of the leak of the military control order, Congress is in a dilemma and the situation is in danger! m, you want to go to the military court

Is it?

After scolding someone, the main text is:... The military commander, Xia Bo, don't pay attention to those damn observation groups anymore, and don't pay attention to other political voices. Taking advantage of the situation that has not completely collapsed, the San Francisco City Government will be attacked as soon as possible.

Capture the Earl of North Sea, capture Mayor Stevenson, capture all the pro-Earl characters, and convict them! Cook the raw rice into a cooked rice!

If you succeed, you will be promoted to three levels. If you fail, your actions will not be recognized by Congress. Your military actions will be defined as...rebellion!

Secret telegram forced Xia Bo to the "decision" route, which means he made a decision. Therefore, at 3 pm on June 12, Commander Xia Bo no longer paid attention to the constraints of the multi-national observation team, but mobilized all his troops.

, launched a general attack on the San Francisco City Government's densely arranged defensive position!

The general attack started at 3 pm and ended at 7 pm. The ending was bleak. The 338e Division did not capture the city government, but instead lost nearly a thousand soldiers, 17 cannons, and 327 cavalrymen...

The Multinational Observation Team watched the battle from afar at the top of an empty hotel and felt a lot.

Barbed wire is very useful for field defense. Many soldiers have clearly crossed the trench but are blocked or hooked by barbed wire, and are killed by subsequent bullets;

The sniper rifles on the high streets have a long range, and many cannon gunners were shot dead from a long distance, resulting in missing the first wave of launching shells;

The mine formation was arranged in the center of the city, and a large part of the chargers were completely destroyed by inexplicable explosions;

The Count's army stood the artillery on the top floor of the building, which was very innovative. It bombarded downwards and formed cross-fire with the heavy machine guns on the ground, causing Xia Bo's troops to pay an extremely painful price for every meter of advance;

...

After more than four hours of fierce battle, Commander Xia Bo's face changed from ambition to despair. No matter what, he never expected that a expected victory would end in a bleak end! The losses of a thousand people,

It's a weight he can't bear!

Seeing that the subordinates were about to collapse, Commander Xia Bo quickly issued an order to stop the attack, and the remaining soldiers retreated, and their eyes were filled with fear of the municipal government not far away!

What a perverted defense!

Never seen such a solid urban building!

And those shameless enemies who are elusive and useless guns to attack them. Are we besieging them? Or are we... we fall into their hunting trap?

In a room in the city government, Lelan Stanford, holding a telescope, laughed: "They retreated, and Xia Bo's attack was defeated by us, hahaha! I like defense. I love street fighting!"

Li Lan was next to him, and he also smiled and said, "The defense side always has the advantage, but the 338e division is indeed elite, and we have many casualties... If Xia Bo persists for a while, maybe we will have it.

Retreat!”

Long Ganruo was also present. He had a faint smile on his face: "Retreat? Lao Gao, aren't you telling a joke? But then again, I'm very curious, how did you conclude that Xia Bo would launch an attack today?"

Gao Tianyang banged his hand and said, "Because of intelligence! We face Xia Bo, facing the sea, and the periphery is extremely smooth... So, we are not an "alone city", on the contrary. Our intelligence is far better than

Xia Bo! We have long known the pressure on Xia Bo from the White House and the Military Department... He must fight a war, otherwise wouldn't it be a big joke if he comes to San Francisco?"

Long Ganruo nodded: "Yes, this battle is inevitable, but unfortunately, our soldiers also lost a lot..."

In this defensive battle, the Dragon Scale Army suffered more than 50 casualties. The Expeditionary Force suffered losses of nearly 150, and the local police were about to cancel the organization... The battle areas were too dense. Although the defense party had the advantage, sometimes it had to be used.

If human life blocks a certain gap, it will lead to partial defeat in the battle. There is no technology for such hand-to-hand combat, but it is compared to life, willpower and endurance. It depends on who can't hold on first!

Gao Tianyang said: "Kanzi, this is war, how can one not die in war? After this training, the remaining soldiers will be strong soldiers with hundreds of battles, which will be beneficial to our future development without any harm!"

Long Ganruo sighed: "I know this. But, seeing it, I can't help but sigh in my heart."

Gao Tianyang patted Long Gan Ruo and smiled and said, "This is the difference between us. I am the knife that kills people, and you are the hammer of construction!"

"Go away, you are the hammer!"

"Haha, go to the conference room next to have a meeting. In addition, give dinner to the warriors on the front line. They ask them not to relax their vigilance and beware of Xia Bo's desperate bets, and they will also launch an attack at night..." Gao Tianyang smiled and sent an order: "By the way, this one

It will be a combat meeting, mayor, Stanford Councillor, you can also attend, are you going to come?"

Lelan Stanford and other municipal officials repeatedly agreed: "If you want to come, of course we have to participate!"

At 8:14 pm on June 12, a non-combat meeting was held in the municipal government building. The outside was the cleaning of the battlefield, but inside was not discussing the future development of the outside war situation. For example, after today's victory, whether to

Launch a counterattack and give Xia Bo a powerful counterattack and let him taste it.

"No, we won't take the initiative. Our strategy has been formulated long ago and will not change!"

Gao Tianyang presided over the meeting and rejected the proposal of a municipal official: "We have few people and we must rely on fortifications to deal with Xia Bo. Today's victory is great, but please calm down. The strength of the enemy and me has not happened fundamentally.

reverse……"

"However, we have received support from other cities in California, and reinforcements are on the way to arrive... Observation teams sent by other countries are also outside. Congress is under tremendous pressure. Xia Bo should not last long!" Another person

Municipal officials said.

"Illusion, these are all illusions!"

Gao Tianyang slapped the table without hesitation and said, "It's right that reinforcements are coming, but everyone knows the quality of the local garrison in California. If we hadn't delayed the 338e Division for such a long time, we would not have collapsed immediately.

, these cities will not speak out for us! And even now, we are still not Xia Bo's opponents. Not to mention the inside of the city, just outside the city. If the Count had not taken the risk to attract some of the troops,

With the size of nearly 10,000 troops in the 338e Division, we will definitely lose if we join forces and attack each other in one place!”

The municipal officials were silent, and Old Stevenson also sighed: "No wonder Xia Bo's troops seemed to have not expected as much as expected. It turned out that they were attracted by the Earl, which is really..."

Gao Tianyang nodded: "The Earl has explained this matter and I don't want everyone to know, but now I have won a small game, and everyone's mind seems to be a little hot..."

Old Stevenson glanced at his subordinates, then replied to Gao Tianyang: "They don't know anything. Now is the war period, and everything is mainly based on the orders of Gao's group!"

Gao Tianyang said: "Okay, we will start to retreat now, so as not to get tomorrow. It will be too late."

retreat?

The situation isn't that bad, right?

I just won during the day, everyone is in high morale, and retreating... isn't it too hasty?

Officials who had just been deprived of their right to make a voice were shocked when they heard this.

"This is not a hasty decision. I received information. The Earl was under great pressure on the outside of the city. I heard that Major General Miller escaped and led people to encircle the Earl fiercely. Our troops were insufficient, and 80% remained in the city.

In government defense, there are not many soldiers around the Earl!"

Long Ganruo stood up and spoke: "The Earl believes that if he still attracts firepower on the periphery, he may be in a bad way, so he sent back the news this morning, asking us to seize the opportunity and give up the municipal government because,

The enemy on the periphery will no longer be restrained, and the soldiers who once surrounded him will enter the city and meet with Xia Bo."

"In that way, our pressure will become quite high!"

Gao Tianyang continued to add: "A lot of our fortifications were demolished in the daytime battle. The remaining troops were not sufficient. If Xia Bo waited for reinforcements and implemented the encirclement tactic, we would be extremely likely to be devastated.

!Retreat is imperative!”

"Wait, where to retreat?"
To be continued...
