    Roosevelt's face darkened. The headquarters in San Francisco is not guarded by an elite guard regiment. There are thousands of heavy troops on the periphery. Now the Chinese Army has only attacked the periphery of San Francisco. It is still a long way from the headquarters.  How is it possible to break through the siege and reach the headquarters?

    "How many people are here in total?" Roosevelt asked coldly to the American captain who rushed in and was covered in blood.

    "Reporting to the minister, there are less than 300 people," the captain replied truthfully

    "A bunch of trash, thousands of people can't stop hundreds of people?" This is the first time Roosevelt has been so angry since returning from the Battle of Midway.

    Since the war with China, Roosevelt also had a certain understanding of the combat effectiveness of Chinese soldiers. Although Chinese soldiers fought bravely, they were not much stronger than American soldiers. Now, hundreds of Chinese soldiers rushed directly to them.  The command department asked, are American soldiers really so miserable?

    "Your Excellency, Minister, this is not the case. This batch of Chinese Army is different from other armies. Whether it is in terms of military uniforms, weapons and equipment, or in terms of individual combat effectiveness, this small unit is more ordinary than other Chinese armies.  The soldiers are several times stronger. Under the attack of their semi-automatic firepower, our soldiers simply cannot withstand it." This US captain is also a tough guy who has fought with the Chinese Army. He has an intuitive judgment on the combat effectiveness of Chinese soldiers than Roosevelt.

    However, the combat effectiveness of this mysterious small unit is too strong. The reason is not that the combat effectiveness of the US military is too poor, but that the combat effectiveness of this unit is too strong. Therefore, Roosevelt called him a waste. This man who fought bloody battles on the front line  A US captain was dissatisfied and wanted to clear the names of his dead comrades

    Marshall pondered for a moment and said: "President, do you still remember the Battle of Jingzhou during the Chinese Civil War? One of the big reasons why the 30,000 Russian troops in Jingzhou City were destroyed was that a small force of a hundred people took the lead in attacking the city, and  The National Revolutionary Army outside the city at that time cooperated with the outside world, which was why the Russian army was defeated so quickly. During the Sino-Japanese War, there was also a mysterious small force that captured the Japanese Emperor Meiji alive, and then easily conquered Tokyo and finally won China's victory over Japan.  victory in war"

    "Are you saying that there is a small force in China with extremely powerful combat capabilities, and that it is that mysterious little force that is approaching us now?" Roosevelt asked with a frown.

    The expression on Marshall's face was unusually solemn. In response to Roosevelt's question, Marshall nodded and said: "Although no one has seen the true face of this mysterious force, and there is extremely little information about this mysterious small force, but  Through China's several foreign wars, our intelligence department still found some information about this mysterious small force. According to legend, this small force is different from the general Chinese troops. They have specialized military uniforms, and even their weapons  It is also more advanced than any ordinary army in China. It is a semi-automatic weapon that can fire continuously. The firepower of that weapon is comparable to a heavy machine gun. Listening to what the captain just said, I am almost certain that the small army outside is.  That mysterious little army from China, and their goal is you, Mr. Minister."

    "Your Excellency, Minister, we are almost unable to stop you. You'd better leave with the generals. They will attack you in less than half an hour," the captain advised.

    Roosevelt smiled sadly. When he declared war with China, he was so high-spirited. He also swore a strong oath in front of Wilson, saying that he would defeat China and defeat Tang Jian. However, judging from a series of confrontations, Roosevelt has since commanded the United States.  The North Atlantic Fleet has never taken advantage of it, but now it is fleeing. The contrast is so great that Roosevelt feels depressed and can hardly breathe.

    At this moment, the gunfire outside the headquarters became more and more fierce, and the captain's face changed drastically. He just said that it would take at least half an hour for the mysterious Chinese army to attack, but he didn't expect that it had only been ten minutes.  That's it, the sound of gunfire is already so close

    "Mr. Minister, generals, please leave quickly. We will cover you." The captain no longer cared about so much. He pulled out his gun and said loudly to Roosevelt and others. After that, he led the few soldiers in the headquarters toward the door.  rush out

    The captain had just led a group of soldiers to the door. Suddenly, a barrage of bullets came. The captain in front was immediately hit by several bullets. Several other soldiers also fell in a pool of blood. The captain could not say a word.  He came out, weakly raised the gun in his hand, and finally slowly fell down.

    Seeing this scene, the expressions of the generals in the headquarters changed greatly. It was expected that the enemy had already rushed up. Marshall took out his gun and said to one of the US generals: "You take the minister and leave first. I will take the people to resist here for a while."  "Time." After saying this, Marshall asked two colonels with lower military ranks to pick up the only two heavy machine guns left in the headquarters.

    At this time, Roosevelt grabbed MarshallEr said: "You come with me." Roosevelt finally knew that it was impossible not to withdraw now. Now the entire situation has become clear. The U.S. North Atlantic Fleet is trapped in the harbor and cannot move, becoming a living thing for the Chinese Air Force.  Target, there is no way out other than annihilation of the entire army.

    The only ones who have any hope of breaking out are the tens of thousands of U.S. Army troops in San Francisco. Once the headquarters is completely captured, the entire U.S. Army in San Francisco will fall into a leaderless situation. And if Roosevelt can successfully lead other generals  If they can successfully escape from the attack of the Lone Wolf Special Forces, then the US military in the city will still have a glimmer of hope.

    The U.S. troops in the city will be an effective force in the future confrontation between the U.S. and the Chinese Army. Every point they can save is worth a point. The entire U.S. North Atlantic Fleet will be annihilated. This is already a huge loss for the U.S. If these U.S. troops in the city  If he couldn't break out, then Roosevelt would be the biggest sinner in American history.

    Although Roosevelt was already very upset at this time, he was still very clear about this. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to retreat with the U.S. troops in San Francisco to preserve his strength.

    Hearing Roosevelt's dissuasion, a look of determination appeared on Marshall's face, and he smiled and said: "Your Excellency, Minister, you go first. Now we must leave people here to block the enemy's offensive. Otherwise, not a single person in the headquarters will leave today."  stay home"

    Roosevelt was silent. Marshall was telling the truth. Looking at the unstoppable posture of this mysterious Chinese army, if no one stayed to break up the rear, everyone in the headquarters, including Roosevelt, would be overtaken and surrounded before they could go very far.  , even captured alive

    Roosevelt looked at the look of determination on Marshall's face and felt great pain in his heart. From the beginning, Marshall had been by his side and made a lot of good suggestions. It would not be an exaggeration to call him Roosevelt's right-hand man, but  At this time, seeing that his right-hand man was willing to sacrifice himself to protect himself, Roosevelt suddenly felt guilty.

    "I'm sorry, we can lead you to victory," Roosevelt said in a guilty voice.

    Marshall shook his head and said resolutely: "Mr. Minister, I have never regretted following you." Before Roosevelt could react, Marshall personally took a heavy machine gun and rushed out without looking back. For a moment,  There was a loud sound of gunfire outside the headquarters, and the "chugging" sound of machine guns actually overwhelmed the dense enemy gunfire.

    Roosevelt's eyes turned red, knowing that he could not waste the precious time that Marshall had bought with his life. After a moment, Roosevelt returned to his previous calm expression and ordered: "Rush out immediately and give the order to other troops in the city to abandon San Francisco and immediately  Break out from the southeast and try to join Major General Hanks' army."

    "Yes, Your Excellency, Minister" other generals took the order one after another.

    With a loud "boom", Roosevelt, who had already left the headquarters far away, looked back and saw a huge explosion suddenly erupted where the headquarters used to be. The smoke filled the air and no trace of the headquarters could be seen. In such a situation  Under the huge destructive power, the US military headquarters has long been reduced to ruins.

    At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the setting sun was like blood. The entire San Francisco was shrouded in gunpowder smoke. The red clouds on the horizon dyed almost all of San Francisco a bloody color. It looked extremely tragic. The air was filled with gunpowder smoke and the smell of blood.  Mixed and choking smell

    The whole of San Francisco was already a sea of ??fire. From time to time, artillery pieces fell in the city, and a huge mushroom cloud rose up. Gunfires were heard everywhere, cannons were roaring, and from time to time, you could clearly see howling past in the sky.  The Chinese plane made San Francisco look like a doomsday scene.

    Roosevelt's eyes reflected San Francisco, which was now full of fire. He clenched his fists hard and said angrily: "Tang Jian, don't think that if you take San Francisco, the United States will surrender."

    After saying that, Roosevelt led his officers and other soldiers towards the breakout rendezvous point, where the other scattered American soldiers had been gathered together by their respective commanders, preparing to work together to open a gap and break out.

    ?¡­

    The Battle of San Francisco lasted from the morning to the early morning of the next day, and finally ended with the defeat of the US military. San Francisco was attacked from two sides by tens of thousands of Chinese land and sea troops, and with the assistance of the air force, it was surrounded on three sides. In the end, the US military was defeated and was defeated by the Chinese army.  The Army opens a breach south of San Francisco

    Coupled with the advantage of the Air Force, China soon successfully took the initiative in the war and successfully defeated the US military defense line. The once arrogant US North Atlantic Fleet became a living target of the Chinese Air Force on the water due to its inconvenience in movement. In the Air Force Ten  The bombing of several aircraft, and with the help of the Chinese Army who successfully snatched the cannons on the lower shore defense position, turned the muzzle of the guns, and then bombarded the U.S. North Atlantic Fleet in the harbor.

    FourAn hour later, in the U.S. North Atlantic Fleet, except for two battleships, a cruiser, and eight gunboats who surrendered first under the leadership of the captain, other battleships were sunk in turn.

    However, it is a pity that the remaining U.S. troops trapped in San Francisco concentrated all their forces and opened a gap in the southeast of the encirclement, and more than 20,000 U.S. troops successfully escaped.

    At this time, surrounded by all the Chinese generals, Tang Jian successfully boarded a coastal defense battery in the San Francisco port. Ye Zugui was full of pride and laughed loudly: "President, the U.S. North Atlantic Fleet has been completely wiped out.  The most important city has officially fallen into our hands. At this point, no one in the Pacific Ocean is an opponent of our Pacific Fleet."

    Tang Jian smiled lightly: "This is just the beginning."
