The two figures flashed, and Yuan Fang and Ma Chaojun disappeared in the wind. On the command ship Blue Ridge, Hagel and Byrd were sneering, admiring the sea of ??fire on the display screen. They no longer even needed to look at the display screen. Through the glass window of the command room, more than ten miles away from the sea, they could already see Weishan Port submerged in a sea of ??smoke and fire. After the smoke cleared, the entire beach had been razed to the ground, and there were large craters everywhere caused by the bombing. It was too horrible to look at. The Predator unmanned reconnaissance aircraft searched dozens of kilometers nearby and never captured any signs of life. "That barbarian emperor should finally be blown up to death." Hagel finally let out a long breath. Bird sneered: "Under such intensive carpet bombing, it would be strange that the barbarian was not blown to pieces. If he doesn't die, it means he is a god. If he is really a god, can he still let us bomb him? It¡¯s time to destroy us.¡± There was a burst of laughter in the command room, and all the American officers and soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. "Mr. Secretary, what should we do now? Should we land now, or wait for the President to take the USS Washington aircraft carrier, travel through the gate of time and space, come to command the operation in person, and then listen to the President's orders?" Byrd asked. Hagel glanced at the smoke on the beach, thought for a moment and said: "The President is eager to dig out the oil here as soon as possible, transport it back to our world, and let Congress see tangible benefits. Since the Barbarian Emperor has If they are killed, then we have nothing to worry about. We don¡¯t need to wait for the aircraft carrier and the president to arrive, just let the Marine Tank Division land.¡± Bird nodded. He added: "However, the information from the Braddock previously stated that the barbarian emperor was so powerful that he could kick a tank away by himself. Although the barbarian emperor has been killed now, there is no guarantee that this Qi country will still be alive. "Formidable barbarians, I suggest that the tank division should advance steadily under the air cover of the Apache helicopter gunships." "It's up to you. You are the commander of the Seventh Fleet. Of course, you should have a specific combat plan." It¡¯s up to you to execute it,¡± Hagel nodded. With permission from the Minister of Defense. Byrd then issued an attack order to the Seventh Fleet under his command. Nearly twenty armed Apache helicopters carrying missiles ascended and hovered at an altitude of 600 meters, carrying surface-to-air missiles. Provide air cover. Next. Nearly two hundred tanks. More than 300 armored vehicles of various types and nearly 5,000 U.S. Marine divisions landed at Weishan Port by sea. A beachhead was established. After the US military landed, they quickly built an airstrip at the port, established defensive positions, and established a dense radar system. After landing on the beach and gaining a foothold, the US military's second step was to requisition food and grass from the people of Qi on the spot. Traveling through the gate of time and space consumes a lot of energy. This time the US military invades, the total number of navy and army is more than 20,000, and the amount of food consumed every day is so huge. In the past, the US military's food supplies were backed by naval bases and had sufficient supplies. However, in this invasion, all food needs to be supplied by the fleet itself. "The food carried by the US fleet itself is limited. In the future, more US troops will invade this world. With so many mouths, it is impossible to rely on supplies transported from the gate of time and space. Therefore, the U.S. military¡¯s policy is to feed war with war and requisition food on the spot from Qi, which is rich in products. But Hagel and Byrd soon discovered that this seemingly backward Qi country had unprecedented mobilization capabilities for war. When their tanks drove into the nearby counties and counties of Qi State to requisition food, they were surprised to find that everywhere they passed was empty of people and not even a grain of rice was left. Yuan Fang had long expected that the U.S. military¡¯s logistics would be their biggest weakness, so he moved all the people in northern Qingzhou away in advance to prevent the U.S. military from plundering food. Yuan Fang's tactics of fortifying the wall and clearing the country quickly took effect, causing problems with the US military's food supply. The lack of food and grass forced Hagel and Bird to change their strategy. According to the battle plan formulated by the US military White House, after the invasion of the US Seventh Fleet, it will use force to destroy Qi's military resistance ability and will, force Qi to negotiate with the fleet, accept their unequal treaties, and become half of them. colony. At that time, the U.S. military could follow the model of the Eight-Power Allied Forces colonizing the Qing Dynasty in history, and set up a concession in Qi State, and Qi State would transport grain, grass and other living materials, supply their soldiers and engineers, and provide them with various projects to exploit oil and minerals. , providing logistical support. The current situation is that Qi¡¯s will to resist far exceeds the imagination of the US military.It seems that they are going to fight a protracted war with the US military at all costs. The U.S. military cannot afford to delay it. Without the ability to requisition food on site, the United States will be unable to ensure the supply of a huge army, support more workers and technicians, and carry out mining operations. Without all of this, the US military would not be able to obtain a large amount of oil from here, and without plundering the oil, the US president would not be able to explain to Congress or explain to his people. Faced with such a dilemma, Hagel had to ask the White House for instructions again. After a day of urgent discussions, Obama finally asked Hagel and issued the latest combat order: Use land tank divisions to quickly advance into the hinterland of Qi, capture Luoyang, the capital of Qi, and use force to completely break the will of the Qi people to resist. , forcing the new emperor of Qi to surrender in order to achieve the original strategic purpose. So, two hundred US tanks, under the cover of thirty Apache helicopter gunships, rushed all the way along the Bohai coast towards Luoyang in the west to facilitate the cover of US ships traveling along the coast. The U.S. tank division captured Donglai County and Zhihuang County, and even broke through Xianguo, Qucheng, and Yeguo. The troops penetrated deep into Beihai Kingdom and captured Xiami, Duchang, Juxian and other places. The journey was unstoppable. Although Yuan Fang was well prepared and had previously ordered all the people in Qingzhou counties to move inland, Qingzhou is a wealthy place, and the U.S. military has passed through the richest places in Daqi. Such relocation of people will cause great damage to Daqi's economy. , naturally quite huge. Ten days later, the US tank division advanced to the front line of Licheng. After passing through this city and heading west, it was about to enter Yanzhou. Yanzhou is located in a plain. Once the US tank division enters, it will have unimpeded access and can run at will. Within a few days, it will be able to reach Hulao Pass. The U.S. military marched straight in without any hindrance. Naturally, their morale was high. However, they were completely unaware that in the mountains southwest of Licheng, countless pairs of vengeful eyes were watching them coldly. On the top of the hill, Yuan Fang looked far into the distance and saw two hundred tanks outside Licheng, billowing green smoke and galloping towards this side. In the sky above the tank, dozens of Apache helicopter gunships were covering and conducting reconnaissance at high altitudes. Yuan Fang looked back and saw five thousand eyes deep in the armor in the mountains and forests, all staring at him. This is the only road to the west of Licheng. There are mountains and forests on both sides of the road, making it an excellent place to set up an ambush. A few days ago, Zhao Yun and other generals had led five thousand flying tiger legions to ambush here. This is where Yuan Fang lured the U.S. military to go deep and annihilate their tank divisions. "Your Majesty, the latest emergency report from Luoyang!" Zhao Yun came from behind, his face solemn. "Say." Yuan Fang said without replying. Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment and then said: "Urgent report from Luoyang. Last night, the Luoyang Palace was bombarded by three missiles from the US military. Most of the palace was destroyed. There were hundreds of dead and countless injured." "What!" Yuan Fang suddenly looked back, his eyes filled with shock and anger. He did not expect that the US military would use Tomahawk missiles to attack his capital thousands of miles away and bomb his palace. You know, the palace is full of old people, women and children, there are no combatants at all, and the US military actually does some murderous things! "Where is the Queen? How are the Queen and the others?" "Your Majesty, the Queen, the other queens, and the prince and princess are all fine, they are just a little frightened." Yuan Fang breathed a sigh of relief, and in his eyes, Xunxun's murderous intention has been burning like fire. He has not been so angry for a long time. The US military attacked the palace, almost killed his wife and children, and killed so many innocent people. Such despicable acts completely agitated Yuan Fang. "In order to force me to surrender, you don't hesitate to resort to such poisonous tactics" His fists were clenched, murderous intent burning like fire, like a gushing volcano. "What a bastard. Those bastard American devils dared to bomb the palace. It's so damn irritating. I have to kill them all." Zhang Fei cursed angrily. "Kill all the American devils!" "Kill them all for revenge." The Daqi soldiers on the left and right were all angered by the news, waving their fists and shouting and cursing angrily. In the distance, the U.S. tank corps came roaring in mighty and mighty manner, and drove into the ambush circle without any scruples. Yuan Fang frowned deeply and shouted coldly: "Send the order to the whole army, prepare for battle, kill all the enemies, leave no one behind!" The emperor's order was quickly spread throughout the army, and the five thousand Flying Tiger Army officers and soldiers who were ambushing were all He is full of anger and is just waiting for a bloody battle.?. Five thousand soldiers were lying in ambush in the mountains and forests, with a pair of vengeful eyes coldly watching the US tanks passing by in front of them. At an altitude of more than 600 meters, the Apache armed helicopter roared past, and the Sidewinder missiles mounted below reflected a faint cold light. At a height of more than 600 meters, they thought that they were at a safe height. Even if Yuan Fang was still alive, they could not do anything to them. The time has come, it¡¯s time to make them pay the price. Yuan Fang took a deep breath, and his thoughts suddenly came to him. The non-offensive armor was activated, and he jumped out of the forest in an instant and flew in front of an Apache. Under the eyes of the American pilot, who opened his eyes wide and stared in horror, Yuan Fang wielded the divine fist of revenge without mercy. Boom! Six hundred meters in the air, an Apache helicopter was exploded in an instant. (To be continued)
