    Chicago is just one of the battlefields where China actively attacks the United States.

    From the very beginning, the more than 1.1 million Western Route Army of the Chinese North American Army crossed the Columbia River directly, captured Portland, and quickly moved south along the Coast Mountains, sweeping through Ohio, advancing all the way to California, and pressing towards San Francisco.  , all the way to the interior of the desolate west with empty defenses, sweeping across Idaho, attacking Utah, and approaching Salt Lake City.

    When Chinese bombers and paratroopers destroyed or directly occupied some key stations of the Pacific Railway in the Rocky Mountains, it became more difficult for the Americans to rescue the West.

    The 1.4 million-strong Middle Route Army of the Chinese North American Forces advanced southward step by step along the vast area between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River. The 2.6 million-strong Eastern Route Army of the Chinese North American Forces was in the core area of ??American industry near the Great Lakes region. Under such tremendous pressure  , Americans have no time to care about the west.

    As the Chinese army launched its final expulsion operations in Canada and Alaska, the US military had to withdraw to the United States with the help of the Pacific Navy.  The 500,000 troops that were gradually withdrawn and the more than 100,000 Marines who stayed in the west have almost become an important pillar of the western defense line. Most of the 600,000 troops in other parts of the west can only be regarded as second-rate troops and militia teams.

    Originally, the United States relied on the Pacific Navy on the western coast, rather than the rapidly expanding army.  Most of the troops withdrawing from Europe were concentrated in the east.  Even after the failure of the northern border battle, most of the withdrawn troops stayed in the east and central areas, and some even went to the southern border in order to defend the Mexicans and suppress Latin America.

    When China's Western North American troops pressed into San Francisco, the retreating U.S. Western Army had to set up a 600,000-strong army outside San Francisco, trying to take advantage of California's favorable conditions to fight to the death.

    When the Chinese army moved south, they had already blocked it three times, but apart from losing more than 200,000 casualties, they had not succeeded once.

    Apocalypse tanks and mammoth tanks also appeared in the western wilderness, leading groups of second-level rhinos and grizzly bears on a rampage.  Except for geographical restrictions.  There is no enemy to fight against.

    The main force of the US military that retreated to the west has lost most of its heavy weapons, and compared to the east, the industrially weaker west does not have many opportunities to replenish armored tanks.  The Midwestern United States is the area where the branch bases are most concentrated. The weaker armored forces in the west are vulnerable to the latest Chinese tanks that are constantly popping up in the bases.

    China's MiG-21, J-6 and F5 Tiger fighter jets also continuously strangled the joint efforts of the US Air Force and the Army and Navy. In the western battlefield, they engaged in 32 large-scale air battles in January, resulting in 167 losses.  At a great cost, they shot down more than 2,300 U.S. military fighter planes of all types, including more than half of the piston-type fighters, and gradually controlled the skies in the west.

    The Americans who felt helpless placed the main battlefield in the West in San Francisco.  In addition to the nearby industrial power near San Francisco for support, there are also plans to use the power of naval gunfire and maritime navigation. As for Salt Lake City, which is too far inland, the US military has only deployed 200,000 troops, preparing to give up field resistance and directly engage in street fighting.  .

    at this time.  The urban war in Chicago is raging. The Americans have seen the limitations of urban warfare on China's superior weapons, and have launched a series of urban warfare plans in an effort to destroy part of the city and hold back the Chinese.  Even San Francisco is ready for urban warfare.

    Although China also wants to use urban warfare to set up human millstones, if they attack one by one, China will inevitably suffer heavy losses and waste time.

    This is one of the reasons why Meng Xiang directly carried out the aerial trial of the Kirov airship.  Just to kill one person as a warning to others.

    When Chicago was bombarded with cloud bombs and sent to hell.  The street fighting in Salt Lake City has come to an end.

    The U.S. Western Army¡¯s energy was not focused here at all, and Washington¡¯s attention was also attracted to Chicago.  The 200,000 American troops who had been put together were beaten to the ground by the 300,000 Chinese army that poured into Salt Lake City. By the time they understood the urban warfare situation described by the few Soviet advisers, death had already fallen on their heads.

    In just 10 days, the last resistance force in Salt Lake City collapsed after hearing the airship bombing of Chicago, and the remaining 110,000 troops surrendered collectively.

    At this time, San Francisco, which was still preparing for street fighting, also collapsed.

    Although the defensive line set up outside San Francisco was at a disadvantage, with the assistance of about 200,000 Marines and the main fleet of the Pacific Navy, it was able to barely block the initial impact of the 500,000 Chinese army.

    But the navy¡¯s assistance did not last long, because China¡¯s large-scale fleet directly reached the west coast of the United States.

    ¡°They came so fast!¡± Nimitz, who was revived by Truman and assumed the important task of commander of the Pacific Navy, was shocked when he heard this.

     Although he had already expected that the Chinese fleet would cross the Pacific, he did not expect that the Chinese fleet would come so fast and suddenly.

    After the fall of the Philippines, the U.S. Pacific Navy retreated to the Northern Mariana and the Marshall Islands. It took advantage of the large number of ships to swim in the vast seas to block China. However, the blockade of the Hawaiian Islands was broken.

    The weapon of anti-ship missiles has changed the rules of the game in maritime warfare. Even escorting destroyers can single out cruisers and even battleships.  If the Americans had not crazyly modified and built a large number of light aircraft carriers to regain their disadvantage in the air, I am afraid that the entire Pacific Ocean would have been controlled by the Chinese.

    ¡°But under the pressure of the Chinese Navy, the Americans¡¯ control of the Pacific Ocean is getting weaker and weaker, and they are completely unable to block China¡¯s sea lanes through Japan and the Far East to Alaska and Canada.  Under the squeeze of the Chinese aircraft carrier formation operating in the North Pacific, it is even difficult to collect intelligence nearby.

    ¡°At least this large-scale Chinese fleet came to the waters near San Francisco, and the Americans had no idea before.

    "Preliminary investigation shows that they are very powerful, but this is our ocean. For our homeland and our honor, we will not hesitate to fight!" But Nimitz decided to take advantage of the Chinese fleet's unstable footing.  time, fight back.

    As long as it is not the terrifying monster of the Huaxia, Nimitz will have the confidence to fight.

    In order to check and balance China¡¯s missiles, this time the Americans concentrated 13 light aircraft carriers on the west coast and 2 newly commissioned Essex-class main aircraft carriers, trying to use the advantage of air strikes to deal with the Chinese fleet.

    But they didn¡¯t know that there were 6 main aircraft carriers in this Chinese fleet.

    The Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carrier produced by China has withstood the test of the Pacific Ocean on its maiden voyage. As the flagship, it led the Chinese fleet to San Francisco along part of the journey that its ancestors had traveled.

    The two unfinished super Yamato-class battleships snatched from Japan have been completed with China's continued investment. One was converted into an aircraft carrier and the other was converted into a guided missile battleship. This time they sailed together to the United States.

    There are another four Red Alert aircraft carriers, all of which have been upgraded to level three, and are similar to the Kitty Hawk level.

    The number of carrier-based fighter jets, mainly F4 Phantom and F8 Crusader, is no less than that of the U.S. Navy, and its performance is even better than the F1 modified by the American Saber fighter.

    In addition, the sea area of ????the battle has been covered by satellites and radar stations at the sub-base, and there is no suspense in the entire battle process.

    Nimitz, who was still directing naval gunfire attacks on land at the Almeida Naval Base, did not expect that the naval battle would end so quickly.

    In less than two days, after HNA shot down more than 200 fighter planes, the air was controlled by China HNA.

    Although the constantly moving US aircraft carrier has not been locked by China's ballistic missiles, it cannot escape the fate of being attacked by missiles and torpedoes carried by attack aircraft.

    China¡¯s carrier-based attack aircraft have gradually eliminated the A1, the last piston warrior, and even the hybrid A2 Savage has not been adopted.

    The A3, the heaviest attack aircraft in the United States in the 1950s, is the first generation of American jet attack aircraft. However, because of the huge 37-ton body of this air warrior and its backward performance, it is only an experimental arrangement on the Chinese aircraft carrier.  A few.  The main force of China's attack aircraft is still the A4 Skyhawk and A6 Intruder.

    The Harpoon missiles carried by the A6Es sank 5 light aircraft carriers in succession and severely damaged an Essex-class aircraft carrier.  Including the three light aircraft carriers that were successfully attacked by the A4 Skyhawks and other fighters, in the end, not a single one of the US aircraft carrier fleet escaped under the extremely high-speed attack by jet fighters, and the rest finally raised a white flag.  However, the main Chinese warship was not damaged at all.

    The gap between the strength of China HNA and the Americans is getting wider and wider, and the Americans are desperate.

    Facing the Chinese fleet heading straight for San Francisco, the shocked Americans had to order the remaining warships to evacuate San Francisco and head south to Los Angeles.

    Without the support of the Navy, the Army in San Francisco was in trouble and could only make two preparations according to the instructions of Washington.

    "But when the huge figures of more than a dozen Kirov airships appeared in San Francisco, no preparations worked, and San Francisco's defense line collapsed.  Half of the more than 400,000 remaining troops in the defense broke away and fled south when China took the opportunity to attack fiercely, and half became prisoners of China.

    San Francisco has planted its five-star red flag.

    As the Chinese fleet chased southward in coordination with the Chinese army, the Kirov airship followed closely, and white flags were raised in American cities wherever they went.

    The American army resisted for another three days outside Los Angeles. After leaving nearly 100,000 casualties and prisoners, it continued to flee south.

    But a piece of news came, blocking their way to the southRoad to escape: The Chinese army landed near the Mexico-US border and has captured the city of San Diego.  (To be continued)
