【510】Three-line victory(1/2)
It has only been more than a month since we got the new weapons, so it is still unclear whether Zhou Bodang's Dragon Scale Army can adapt to these new weapons.
No wonder Long Hao was a little worried.
Okay, let's put aside the somewhat stalemated Alaska war, and let's take a broader view.
When Long Hao issued a declaration of war against the United States, he actually launched three arrows at the same time.
Zhou Bodang launched the later famous "Death Twilight Raid", and Viscount Savoy also led the Cuban expeditionary force and gave Roosevelt a heavy blow on a plain southeast of Mexico City!
It was a mixed cavalry formation. According to the members of the Free Stormtroopers who survived and escaped later, they recalled: "...It was so scary. Their horses were as big as elephants, and they were mixed with fire-breathing steel chariots! Yes!
, I dare to swear to God, it is definitely not a train, because there are no rails underneath! Oh, their speed is no less than that of galloping war horses. When they rushed over, our rifles and artillery were ineffective, and I was rolled up by them.
As soon as the wind blew flat, I was bounced to the side, and after that, I didn’t know anything else..."
Yes, Zhou Bodang had new weapons, so the Cuban Expeditionary Force directly used the prototype of the 'mechanized force' that Chen Bahu had prepared for a long time.
Since the mechanized army is in its prototype, there are various mixtures, including not only the latest nightmare horses bred by the Brood, but also the assault armored vehicles developed by DMG and Fury Flame!
In other words, the ‘fire-breathing steel chariot’!
This car is equipped with two machine guns at the front, and the body is driven by four new kerosene engines improved by Tesla, with a speed of up to 55 miles!
When this kind of assault armored vehicle charged across the plains, Roosevelt was doomed to fail.
Faced with this great victory in the first battle, Viscount Savoy seemed a little dissatisfied: "What a pity, tsk tsk. They were too weak. They collapsed in one blow, so I couldn't even put this or something... Oh, it's a tank, send
Come in handy!"
That's right, if Long Hao were next to Savi at this moment, he would recognize that the ugly big iron box parked next to him was the 'tank' he was talking about.
This tank is probably an experimental product. The chassis is equipped with eight wheels and is covered with thick rubber tracks. The texture is visible. However, the long and thick barrel that frightened so many infantrymen is gone and replaced by it.
There were two heavy machine guns, with black muzzles sticking straight out from the thick iron baffle at the front.
Perhaps this deformed thing would be more appropriately called an upgraded tracked armored vehicle.
I don’t need to say much about the emergence of crawler tracks. Everyone knows that it has a revolutionary impact on mechanized warfare!
With tracks, the combat range of armored mechanized troops can be greatly expanded. Needless to say, this invention was first proposed by Seagate and followed up and perfected by Tesla.
However, even if Savi's trump card, the tank, was not put to use, the assault armored vehicle, a killer weapon that was decades ahead of the world today, was not something that just Theodore Roosevelt could withstand.
As expected, the soldiers who survived the Battle of the Plains returned to the Free Stormtrooper camp in a state of confusion and spouted nonsense, causing the morale of Roosevelt's troops to plummet.
With the great victory as an opportunity, the Cuban Expeditionary Force was like a swarm of bees coming out of the nest. They actively exchanged fire with the Freedom Stormtroopers on all fronts, winning consecutive battles. Before July 1, the Cuban Expeditionary Force had already recovered Tehuantepe.
All the land west of the Isthmus dividing line', and the troops pointed out. Vow to drive Roosevelt's troops out of Mexico, and then kick them into the Caribbean!
The war was going so smoothly, and Viscount Savey naturally stole the show. He was not a low-key person who kept a low profile and bided his time for so many months. This time, he received an order from Long Hao to "let go and fight."
Let out your arrogant anger.
Therefore, on July 2nd, Viscount Savy also convened a group of reporters and announced that he would reorganize his army and formally establish a 'Spanish Restoration Government'. The first goal was to recover Spain's lost colonies in Central America (Cuba, etc.)
Islands), and claimed in a high-profile manner that the Queen Mother Cristina betrayed the national interests and humiliated the country. She could not represent Spain. She was the one who coerced the young Alfonso XIII. Everything she said was a false edict!
Saavi said that the second goal of Spain's restoration is to oust this evil old woman from power. Only when Cristina is finished can Spain regain its new life and win back its status as a world power.
This naked declaration caused almost as much sensation as Long Hao's "North Island Declaration" against the United States!
This is a clear plan to seize the throne of Spain!
Could it be that this Viscount Savey, with the full support of the Earl of Beihai, is so confident?
Hey, don't get too excited. You just repelled an American army. It seems that you are still far away from usurping the throne of an established European power!
The Earl of Beihai is looking for a fight with the United States, and you, Savi, are taking advantage of the situation to rebel and cause trouble for your own family. This, this, this is simply because you are afraid that the world will be in chaos!
However, no matter how the outside world evaluates Savi's bold words, there is one thing about restoring the revolutionary government that is quite in line with the wishes of the Spanish patriotic people.
That is, he did what Queen Christina did not dare to do. The Queen Mother, faced with the attack unilaterally provoked by the United States, swallowed her anger, silently agreed, and gave up the Cuban colony, while Viscount Savy bravely went to war with the United States.
, not only won, but also promised to restore Cuba. This courage alone is several ways better than Queen Christina!
Therefore, the influence has spread, and there are still many people who support Saví both in Spain and abroad.
After all, Savi is also of legitimate royal descent...
After introducing Alaska and Mexico, let’s take a look at Oregon.
Long Hao came to Oregon, which means that the army under his command also came to Oregon.
It was a little different from before. This time, Long Hao legitimately led the army of the North Island Country and collided head-on with the US Army that invaded Oregon.
This is a national war!
On June 29, the armies of the two countries met for the first time. The North Island country won a great victory, defeating more than 3,000 federal troops and taking countless prisoners. Afterwards, they publicly killed 29 white supremacist interests who had committed numerous crimes.
Alliance members.
"Defel back the U.S. Army and execute the racists!"
This was the slogan shouted by the army led by Long Hao. From the first battle, they were welcomed and given full support by Oregon residents along the way. They won consecutive battles and were invincible. On July 7, they had swept across Oregon.
Throughout the territory, the entire U.S. Army was driven out.
Just when Long Hao and his troops were preparing to take a rest and then go to liberate Washington State, news of a shocking victory came from Alaska!
On July 12, Zhou Bodang's tribe and Swift's tribe launched a decisive battle in a basin 160 kilometers north of the Andes Mountains. The war was fierce and lasted for more than eight hours.
In the end, Zhou Bodang's 3,000 men miraculously defeated the Swift Volunteer Army, which had more than 20,000 people, dominated the railway line and had ample equipment.
Even Lieutenant General Swift was killed in the war. More than 6,000 volunteers died in the battle and more than 13,000 were captured. The remaining people fled eastward, with few alive... After this battle
, the situation has been decided, and the war in Alaska can finally come to an end.
The results of this epic battle were written up in great detail and spread through news channels so fast that the people in the west even knew about it earlier than the White House in the east!
In the news reports, Zhou Bo, the commander-in-chief of the convoy, was naturally portrayed as a battlefield wizard who defeated the odds and was expected to become a famous general.
Swift, the defeated general, could not even find peace in death. He was firmly nailed by reporters' pen and ink on the pillar of shame of "the defeated general, who lost his power and humiliated the country"!
The volunteers, who had superior numbers and were well-equipped, went to fight against the civilian convoys whose number was almost one-eighth of theirs. They were defeated and the entire army was wiped out. This is really incomprehensible! Therefore, the American people support the White House.
The public labeled Swift as an incompetent general with a pig's head and a body.
Some people are even questioning loudly: What connections did this loser have to become the commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army?
How rotten has the federal military been before it jumped to Swift? Hey, don't just pick out a pig head to take command just because it is a volunteer army. How can the souls of more than 30,000 volunteer soldiers rest in peace underground with such haste?
…
If Lieutenant General Swift had a spirit underground and heard the outside world commenting on him like this, he would be so angry that he would vomit eight liters of blood, come to life and yell, 'I'm so angry!' three times, and then die.
Because the actual situation of this decisive battle was not as described in the newspapers. It was due to his poor command that Zhou Bodang bravely defeated the three armies and lost.
At its root, the key decisive factor in this battle that completely cut off the U.S. tentacles from Alaska was: Lieutenant General Swift ignored the power of money and the power of WIC to control people!
Yes, the reason why Swift lost was because of those representatives of the plutocrats who were controlled by WIC!
Pulitzer, Kinclair and others, they are traitors!
It was precisely because of their cooperation inside and outside that Zhou Bodang was able to find a gap in Swift's carefully constructed defense system, make a breakthrough from this point, and then use advanced artillery to bombard the opponent indiscriminately, suppressing the opponent with more mobile weapons.
The Nightmare Horse surrounded the flanks, killed the reinforcements, and then dispatched a battalion of sharpshooters to distribute on the periphery, specializing in sniping at the senior officers of the American Volunteer Army in the chaos of the war, leaving the opponent leaderless!
Lieutenant General Swift was shot in the dark and died in an unknown manner. He is a model of misfortune.
…
When the cloud of exaggeration in the newspapers slowly dissipated, the U.S. White House, the military, and foreign observation missions also successively obtained some real clips of this battle from other reliable sources. As a result, they cursed Pulitzer and others
Not only was he extremely treacherous and shameless, he was also shocked and disbelieving by the new weapons displayed by the escort in this battle!
Their weapons are at least two levels ahead of U.S. federal equipment?
The range of their artillery is three kilometers longer than the artillery equipped by the Federation?
Could this be the latest killer weapon created by those arms lunatics in Europe?
Damn it, how did the Earl of the North Sea purchase it? And equip it to the Alaska Guard without any fanfare?
…
The flying knife wielded by the United States in Alaska was smashed to pieces. In fact, it was just the beginning.
Perhaps inspired by the news of the great victory in Alaska, in the next ten days, news of Long Haofang's victory came again from the central and southern fronts!
July 15. The Spanish Restoration Army (that is, the Expeditionary Force, the American Ocean... In short, the soldiers are still the same group of soldiers, but the flags often change, and the soldiers are used to it) at the original armistice line (Tehuantepec
Ten kilometers east of the Isthmus), the main force that Roosevelt had finally gathered was severely damaged. Among them, the leader of the Japanese Army was blasted to pieces by artillery shells, and Theodore Roosevelt was also wounded and escaped.
At this point, the outcome was decided in one battle. The Freedom Stormtroopers and the Mexican Army, which had lost their backbone, were defeated in the ensuing battle. In just four days, the Yucatan Peninsula was completely lost!
As if it were irony, Swift, who had already become a laughing stock in the United States, had said wildly: "Conquer Alaska in five days", but it was actually realized by his opponent, Viscount Savvy!
On July 21, a spokesman for the U.S. Navy bitterly admitted that all federal forces had withdrawn from Mexico, and the army had returned to the country for reorganization. Navy warships also gradually left Mexican ports and retreated across the Greater Antilles island chain to prevent
Viscount Savy's revolt took advantage of the victory and marched into the Caribbean, threatening Cuba, which had just been occupied and had not yet been sorted out.
If Savi can produce such beautiful results, Long Hao will naturally not show weakness.
On July 18, the North Island Army was defeated again and again by the United States in Seattle. The troops gathered here had a large-scale confrontation. As a result of the confrontation, the twelve divisions of the Federal Army were completely destroyed. Only the newly reorganized
To be continued...
