    "Damn it, we don't have any clean fresh water!" Jim complained.

    Since all Chicago¡¯s water plants were paralyzed by Chinese bombs, and even some major pipe networks were destroyed and cut off, the entire Chicago water pipeline has stopped operating.

    "At least there is enough food and wine, which is much better than when we were in Stalingrad!" Mashkov, who was next to Jim, took a big drink from the water bottle and took out another one from his arms.  The silver flask took a big sip of strong wine and said.

    Chicago is originally a gathering place for grains, meat and dairy products. For this Battle of Chicago, the U.S. military has stocked up a large amount of food. There is no shortage of food at all. It is just that the drinking water is not considered well, but this is not fatal.

    Cities close to the Great Lakes have never been short of water, and Chicago is dotted with rivers and lakes.

    It¡¯s just that Chicago in this era also has to pay the price for the rise of industry. Many lakes and rivers have become victims of industrial pollution.

    At the end of the 19th century, the grease on the Chicago River even formed a liquid rainbow. This also led ambitious Americans to use a series of sluices to change its flow direction, causing the Chicago River, which originally flowed to Lake Michigan, to flow backwards and follow the newly opened river channel.  , flows to the Illinois River and eventually joins the Mississippi River.

    Although Americans have begun to pay attention to environmental protection, some water sources in Chicago are still polluted.  The United States' advanced tap water system and per capita affluence meant that Americans did not feel the urgency of water resources. However, when bombs cut off pipelines connecting various places and even water plants were paralyzed, Americans had to face the problem of uneven water resources.  a difficult problem.

    Some places are guarding polluted water sources, but cannot drink clean fresh water.

    In normal times, there are many ways to solve it, even using trucks to transport water.  But after the Chinese army poured into Chicago and began brutal street fighting, all logistics and transportation became a luxury.

    Those huge Kirov airships not only strangled American transportation lines together with fighter planes, but there were also three of them floating directly in the sky above Chicago.  Monitoring every corner of the city.

    The U.S. fighter jets that desperately wanted to regain air supremacy over Chicago simply could not break through the defense line of the Chinese fighter jets.  It is difficult to w¨¥ixi¨¦ the airship.

    The weapon of the American missile that once worried Meng Xiang could not become a deadly weapon after the Kirov airship was upgraded to level three. It also made Meng Xiang understand why the Kirov airship is still one of the ultimate weapons of the base.  .

    Since Tesla¡¯s research led to the improvement of the electromagnetic system, the three-level Kirov airship has a magnetic storm protection system that can actively impact all fast flying objects that enter the defense circle, becoming its life-saving trick.  For the cannonballs, those metal lumps cut through the magnetic field quickly.  They can all use powerful electromagnetic fields to slightly interfere with the flight direction, not to mention the more fragile missiles of this era.

    Even if the American missile is made of vacuum tubes and has strong anti-interference ability, it can still be detonated from a distance under the instantaneous attack of a magnetic storm that is comparable to lightning.

    As long as the airship is not directly hit by a missile, Kirov's abnormal defense and regeneration repair abilities will remain intact.  You can ignore the bits and pieces that may hit your body.

    The active defense capability of the third-level Kirov airship may not be perfect yet, but with continuous upgrades and the strengthening of magnetic storm capabilities, it can eventually become an important cornerstone for the Kirov airship to ascend to the ultimate throne.

    However, the reality is that there is a huge gap between the research on electromagnetic systems and the output of the base. In order to conceal the secrets of the airship and to enhance insurance, Meng Xiangcai added decoy missiles to the Kirov airship with the help of a more powerful load capacity, in conjunction with the Kirov airship's missiles.  Three 6-tube 30mm close-in defense guns don't even need magnetic storm weapons.  It is enough to deal with the Americans' somewhat primitive missiles.

    Those large-caliber anti-aircraft guns in Chicago had already counterattacked the Chinese bombers that bombed the city of Chicago.  But as soon as traces of large-caliber anti-aircraft guns are discovered, the vanguard cannon or V3 rockets are immediately summoned to carry out devastating bombardment of the surrounding area.  After clone spies stole the layout secrets of large-caliber anti-aircraft artillery.  They were successively cleaned up by China.

    Occasionally, if someone slips through the net, it will be difficult to cause a fatal blow to the Kirov airship.

    Ignoring missiles, fighter planes and large-caliber anti-aircraft artillery, the Kirov airship is nearly invincible in the skies over Chicago.  In conjunction with radar stations and satellites, their bombings directly fragmented the cooperation of the Americans in various regions. The logistical supplies sent by the Americans to the front line were even more inadequate. Even the trucks transporting water could easily fall victim to the bombs.

    Those natural water sources that exude a strange smell are a bit difficult for American soldiers to accept, but for those Soviet veterans who have experienced a life and death struggle, it doesn't matter at all.

    In order to truly build ChicagoTo hold the Chinese in the quagmire, the Americans, who lacked confidence in the level of the army, still colluded with past allies such as the British and even the Soviet Russians.

    Both the British and the Soviets have accumulated rich urban warfare skills in their battles with the Germans.  Facing the same enemy in China, they still came.

    The Chinese people¡¯s price for peace talks is too high. Both the British and the Soviets hope to use the power of the Americans to suppress China.

    There are many people who are unwilling to hold this idea, and with the remaining young men in the hands of the Americans, volunteer armies from various Western countries continue to gather in Chicago, and even all Japanese and Southeast Asians who remain in the United States.  Show your commitment by getting involved.

    The whole of Chicago has become a battlefield for China to challenge the coalition forces of all countries.

    "We must completely convince them!" Meng Xiang also planned to use this battlefield to demonstrate China's powerful urban attack capabilities without hesitation, and use the enemy's cannon fodder to completely fill the quagmire advocated by the Americans.  trap.

    Even though those Soviet and British veterans who had been tempered in the war broke in under the banner of volunteers, the systematically trained Chinese army was not afraid at all. The Chicago urban war was fierce from the beginning.

    The roar of the TJ38 and AK47 automatic rifles gradually overwhelmed the American modified M4 automatic rifle; the original and China-made Uzi submachine guns and MP5 submachine guns even lowered the tone of the Thomson and M3 submachine guns by a few notches; the mg42 machine gun  The sound of tearing cloth still echoed in the city of Chicago, the explosions of grenades used by Chinese soldiers to clear rooms continued, and the screams of rocket launchers and mortars streaked across the tracks, mostly hitting the American positions.

    The smell of gunpowder smoke and burnt corpses has long concealed the pungent smell of Chinese smoke bombs, but the fire of napalm bombs still blooms in the flames burning everywhere.

    Even at night, the dazzling light of flares and flash bombs flashed from time to time over the burning Chicago sky.

    The burst fire of the Chinese snipers was like the clock of death, ringing continuously, shattering the confidence of the British snipers bit by bit, and also penetrated the gall of the Americans with bullets bearing the grim smile of the god of death.

    The American soldiers were terrified of everything around them.  Even the elusive cloned dogs make American soldiers nervous, and they will shoot involuntarily whenever they see an animal.

    But they were helpless against the multi-purpose tanks driving into the city.

    Although urban warfare is not conducive to the activities of tanks, multi-functional tanks with wide attack fields are not afraid to counter attacks from all directions.  Even snipers from high-rise buildings can raise the barrels of anti-aircraft cannons to deliver devastating counterattacks.  Whether it is a 20mm machine gun or a 12.7mm machine gun, it can penetrate the walls of some buildings and directly tear apart enemies who are lurking for sniping.

    At first, the Americans thought that the rooftops of high-rise buildings were their safe places, and set up fortifications and positions on almost every rooftop. However, when the Black Hawk and Hind helicopters appeared in the sky, the commanding heights of those rooftops were  They have all been firmly controlled by the Chinese army.

    Without air superiority, the Americans lost half the battle from the beginning.

    In just one week, Americans lost half of Chicago.  If the elite veterans of the Soviet Union and the British had not been so hostile to the Chinese soldiers, I am afraid that the Americans would have suffered even more losses.  But the 110,000 casualties have already made American morale even lower.

    Facing death, the American army continued to desert and take prisoners.

    Although the city of Chicago is besieged by the Chinese, the civilians can still leave after going through layers of inspections by the Chinese outposts.  After opening these holes, not only civilians were evacuated, but thousands of American soldiers also mingled among them and fled, which shook the morale of the US military.

    "But there are also some American soldiers who have learned to survive better under the influence of death. With the help of their familiarity with the geographical conditions, the resistance of the Americans has become stronger and stronger, and the support from Soviet Russian and British veterans across the Atlantic has continued.

    Washington also realized that if it could not evacuate its property, it could only rely on Chicago to gain a strategic advantage even through peace talks, so it continued to send reinforcements to lurk into this meat grinder from the wild at night.

    The anxious heavy weapons from both sides continued to join, and no one cared about whether Chicago was intact or not. A large number of casualties were piled on the ruins everywhere.

    After another two weeks, the Chinese army managed to occupy another quarter of Chicago that was in ruins.  Although compared with the 470,000 casualties lost by the Allies, China's more than 70,000 casualties were not heavy, but it was enough to make Meng Xiang feel distressed.

    ¡°Damn it, if the Americans don¡¯t give up, let them and their cities be destroyed together!¡±?Thinking that there were still more than 500,000 US troops active in Chicago, Meng Xiang no longer hesitated and directly launched the trial plan.  (To be continued)
