    Roosevelt ordered the evacuation of all U.S. and Canadian soldiers on the defensive line of the Dellera Mountains in the west, and General Yamamoto ordered his troops to seize territory from the Germans as quickly as possible. One day later, the division in the United States  The intelligence network learned.

    In Yangon, Indochina, inside the division headquarters, division commander Tang Qiuli was looking at a document. Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe and Chen Feng, director of the division's communications office, came in together.

    Zhao Yuhe still held a telegram in his hand. As soon as he entered the door, he said hurriedly: "Commander, the Communications Department has just received urgent information from the Intelligence Department. It is about intelligence on the American battlefield!"

    Tang Qiuli looked at Zhao Yuhe, a little puzzled by his hurried tone, and said: "There has been a lot of intelligence from the American battlefield recently, what's all the fuss about!"

    "Commander, this information is extraordinary. Major changes have taken place in the western battlefield of the United States!" Zhao Yuhe raised the telegram in his hand and said.

    "Specific content!" Tang Qiuli also became interested.

    Zhao Yuhe looked at the telegram and said: "The Intelligence Service's intelligence network in the United States learned that the night before yesterday Western Time, more than one million U.S. and Canadian troops deployed on the front lines of the Deillera Mountains abandoned their operations overnight.  Once this line of defense is reached, all retreat to Canada!¡±

    "The large-scale retreat of more than one million people was not noticed by the Japanese, and they retreated cleanly overnight. It seems that the means and energy of the Americans cannot be underestimated. I very much admire the efficiency of the US military and the Canadian army.  And the smoothness of the command system!" Zhao Yuhe added his own comments and sighs.

    "The U.S. military has abandoned the defense line of the Dilera Mountains?" Tang Qiuli said in surprise at this information.  To him, it was absolutely unexpected. "What is Roosevelt going to do?" he mused.

    "Yuhe. Where have the Germans reached now?" Tang Qiuli suddenly asked another question.

    Zhao Yuhe replied: "According to intelligence, the leading troops of the German army have reached the Merriman area in the middle of the United States, and there are signs of continuing to advance northward!"

    "How did the Japanese react?" Tang Qiuli asked again.

    ¡°More than one million Japanese soldiers, like a flood bursting from a dike, poured into the central part of the United States, running with all their might. They even gathered all their vehicles to form a rapid force!¡± This time.  Zhao Yuhe answered more eloquently.

    Tang Qiuli said nothing. He walked to the large military map, looked at the map solemnly, and began to think deeply again.  A long time passed.  He just left the map and looked at the April sky of Indochina.

    "Teacher, what did you think of?" Zhao Yuhe asked.

    "Roosevelt was so generous! He was ruthless and decisive! This was a gamble! A huge bet on the future and destiny of the United States! But it was also very clever!" Tang Qiuli said with emotion: "Roosevelt is extraordinary!"

    Zhao Yuhe's eyes flashed, and he said thoughtfully: "Commander, you mean that the US military abandoning the Dillera Mountains defense line in the west was Roosevelt's order, and it was a brilliant strategy on his part!"

    "Exactly!" Tang Qiuli said: "Before, Roosevelt tried his best to prevent the Japanese army from breaking through the defense line of the Dilera Mountains, but in the central area, where the Germans were obviously advancing northward, there was almost no defense. I doubt that the United States  The central region may be a point that Roosevelt needs to take advantage of!¡±

    "Now, it is absolutely certain that after the Japanese army was unable to break through the Dillera Mountains defense line and the Germans entered the Merriman area, Roosevelt suddenly ordered to abandon the western defense line that could continue to be held, just to use the vast land in the central United States to become a detonator  The point of conflict between the Germans and the Japanese!¡±

    "Commander, I understand!" Zhao Yuhe said: "Based on the fact that the Germans and Japanese did not join forces without any barriers in the war against the United States, but each had their own plans. Roosevelt laid out an overall plan and used the United States to  Central region to intensify the conflict between Germany and Japan!¡±

    "That's right!" Tang Qiuli nodded approvingly and said, "It's like a person being attacked by two wolves from the front and back. If he throws a piece of fragrant fat on the ground and lets the two wolves grab it, I'm afraid  , the wolf will fight first, regardless of attacking the person, Roosevelt is that person, Germany and Japan are the wolves grabbing the fat! "

    "My dear!" Zhao Yuhe exclaimed, "That US President Roosevelt is really ruthless. He made such a big bet. He is not afraid of the Germans and Japanese. Kill him first, and then divide  Eat that piece of fat?"

    "Of course not!" Tang Qiuli said firmly: "Although Roosevelt did not understand military affairs, he was an excellent politician. He had a clear idea of ??what kind of conspiracies and strategies could be used to intensify the conflicts between Germany and Japan.  , when specific interests are involved, allies will also become enemies, and, with the greed and arrogance of the Japanese and the arrogance of the Germans, it is not difficult to create sparks in the dispute over the interests of the central region of the United States!  "

    "This is Roosevelt's strategy. He is buying time for the United States. Moreover, Roosevelt dared to make such a big bet. He was very confident. There are traces of this. When Rommel did not send troops north to attack Salt Lake City,  He had this determination when he helped the Japanese army break through the US military's western defense line. No matter what, I still admire Roosevelt's determination!"

    Zhao Yuhe and Chen Feng understood completely. Both of them couldn't help being shocked and had to admire Roosevelt's courage.

    "Commander, do you think that a conflict will break out between the Germans and the Japanese? After all, more than half of the territory of the United States is still in the hands of the Americans! At this time, I am afraid that both sides will restrain themselves!" Zhao Yuhe  Questions were raised again.

    "Conflict between the Germans and the Japanese is inevitable!" Tang Qiuli said with colorful eyes: "Yuhe, command Yu Deshui, the intelligence department pays close attention to the central area of ??the United States, and the conflict between the German and Japanese armies  With everything that has happened, it seems that the time for us to take action in the Southwest Pacific is almost here!¡±

    In the central part of the United States, a truck drove up a mountain ridge. In front of him, the outline of a small town appeared. Colonel Yokono raised his telescope and observed it carefully. He suddenly became excited as if he had been shot. He ignored the bumpy car.  Opening the map, sure enough, there are more than twenty kilometers ahead, which is the target that he must capture, a small town in the middle of the United States - Edgemont!

    After two days and nights of forced march, a journey of more than a thousand kilometers, the entire search team came here. In addition to getting off the car to relieve themselves, they even slept and ate in the car. Before setting off, they brought enough rice.  The soldiers of the Imperial Army were also determined to have dumplings and water. The delay on the road was less than six hours. Not only Colonel Yokono, but all the officers and soldiers were so exhausted that they almost fell apart!

    However, all the fatigue and pain disappeared without a trace as the target appeared in front of him. Even in the cab with the roaring engine, Colonel Yokono seemed to be able to hear the cheers of the soldiers.

    Colonel Yokono once again raised his telescope and observed the situation in Edgemont. At least from the current distance, the town was very quiet, and no active targets could be seen. "It seems that the Germans have not arrived here yet! Finally they got the lead.  step!"

    Colonel Yokono wanted to report the good news to the division commander Lieutenant General Tada immediately, but he thought about it and was not in a hurry. It would be safer to report it after Edgemont was captured!

    The afterglow of the setting sun shrouded the land of the United States in a blood-red sunset. In this blood-red sunset, Colonel Yokono's truck took the lead, kicking up a cloud of yellow dust and rushing down the mountain ridge.  Heading straight to the small town of Edgemont, behind were hundreds of vehicles of various colors, loaded with tired and shouting Japanese soldiers, following them down like rolling rocks. The momentum was quite astonishing!

    After Colonel Brett washed his face, he lay comfortably on a wooden bed and took a nap with half-closed eyes. Outside, the cooks had prepared dinner. The smell of coffee wafted over him lazily.  Thought: "It would be great if I could take a hot bath again!"

    Immediately, Colonel Brett shook his head mockingly. Although the guards had delivered dinner to the room, he still didn't want to get up. His scattered muscles seemed to not want to move. At this moment, a rush of footsteps came.

    Major Salmos, chief of staff of the regiment, bumped into him and shouted: "Report to the regiment commander, the enemy is attacking! Coming from the west of the town!"

    "What?" Colonel Brett exclaimed, jumped up from the comfortable bed, grabbed the pistol on the table, and hurriedly asked: "Specific situation! Has the enemy's identity been confirmed?"

    "The sentry reported that a large convoy was spotted about ten kilometers away from Edgemont. It was heading here very quickly. It was far away and the dust kicked up by the vehicle made it impossible to observe the specific situation. The other party's  The identity is still unknown!" Chief of Staff Salmos said hurriedly.

    "Order the troops to prepare for battle!" Captain Brett's eyes immediately lit up and he gave the order excitedly, and then shouted: "Guards, follow me to the west of the town!" He felt excited to jump into battle immediately.

    Although the well-trained German soldiers received the order in a hurry, they were quickly ready for battle. When Colonel Brett arrived at the west end of the town, the German soldiers had already used natural barriers such as houses to build  A temporary defense line was set up, with more than a dozen light artillery guns raised, and light and heavy machine guns with black muzzles pointing towards the direction of the convoy.

    "Looking at the soldiers who were waiting in full formation, a sneer appeared on the corner of Colonel Brett's mouth, and?The current firepower can instantly cover these unscrupulous trucks in a hail of bullets!

    With the afterglow of the setting sun like blood, the convoy was getting closer and closer, but due to the smoke and dust, the specific situation was still unclear. Colonel Brett ordered: "Everyone is ready to shoot and wait for my order!"
