Chapter 1508 Mutual Entrapment by Sea and Land

"Gentlemen, the Japanese are now attacking our city."

President Ross sent the telegram.

"But the conscription has just begun, and many people have not learned how to use weapons and cannot fight."

The chief of staff said helplessly.

"We can mobilize the National Guard from each state to help. In addition, we can strengthen the armor strength to the National Guard and use the equipment advantage to eliminate the experience advantage." Patton thought for a while and said.

"However, now the Japanese have the equipment advantage, and their battleships are parked along our coast."

A general said.

"Then deploy the troops away from their naval guns, which is only a few dozen kilometers anyway." Patton said nonchalantly.

"Mr. Patton, do you know what this means? It means abandoning all the coastal cities on the West Coast."

"So what, our goal is to defeat the enemy. We don't have maritime superiority now, so we have to bring the Japanese army inland and then destroy them. The coastal cities can only be recaptured when our navy is strong enough."

Patton took the pipe and knocked it.

"Moreover, this is the reconstruction of dozens of cities. Do you know how many jobs it can bring? How much profit can it generate?"

"this……"

"Well, gentlemen, if there is no better opinion, I will follow Mr. Button's opinion."

President Ross hammered home Patton's approach.

He has worked in industry and knows how much profit such a large infrastructure project can bring. If it can be realized, it will be enough for the construction industry to last for more than ten years.

And it would also give him higher approval ratings, at least during the war, which kept him president.

The Americans' plan was quickly finalized.

National Guards were organized in each state and a large number of tanks were issued.

So wealthy that almost every platoon was equipped with a tank.

The large armies were consolidated and marched along the road toward the west coast.

At the same time, President Ross personally delivered a televised speech.

The people were notified of the attack on the west coast city.

The people who were already agitated became more and more dissatisfied, and more and more people took to the streets to protest against Japan's atrocities.

A large number of young people entered the military camp.

There were also many people who took guns and drove toward the west in pickup trucks, clamoring to look good to the Japanese.

The highway to the west was packed with traffic.

Just like the westward expansion movement a hundred years ago.

However, the carriage turned into a car.

After the Japanese army invaded San Francisco, they were fascinated by the bustling city.

Most of the ordinary soldiers were farmers or ordinary citizens. All they could see was what was around them. They had never seen such a wealthy city in the United States.

I was immediately attracted by the bustling shops on both sides of the street.

He even forgot that he was fighting.

Many people even rushed directly into the jewelry stores on both sides of the street and put the jewelry they could see into their pockets.

Some rushed directly into the nearby store, sat at the counter and ate the sweet cakes.

This reduces the effectiveness of the attack.

Higher-level commanders were aware of the actual situation below, but had no power to stop it.

If you want the soldiers below to work hard, you must relax control appropriately.

What's more, they themselves couldn't help it.

The Japanese army's military pay is very low. Ordinary soldiers only get a few yuan, and officers only get a few dozen yuan, which is not enough to do anything. If you want to make a fortune, you can only make extra money.

The officers then joined in the robbery.

Others on the warship could only watch with envy, but could not join in.

"Sir Yamamoto, do you want to issue an order?"

an aide asked.

"Forget it, give them one day, and after one day, go to the next target."

Yamamoto was also a little helpless.

If the subordinates are not given a break, this kind of officer will not be liked and may even be slapped with a black gun.

Then, a huge combined fleet spent a day outside San Francisco Harbor.

Then pull anchor and set sail for the next port.

The combined fleet stopped and went, which gave the U.S. Army time to breathe.

The large army moved to an area fifty kilometers away from the coast and built fortifications.

The combined fleet is not idle either. The aircraft carrier sends out reconnaissance aircraft every day to investigate the surrounding situation.

The U.S. Army's actions were quickly discovered by them.

"Baga, these Americans are so cunning. They actually hid outside the range of the naval guns. What cowards."

"It doesn't matter, the pilots will take action."

Nanyun sent flying troops.

Then, just as they flew over the heads of the Americans, they saw a dark cloud floating in the distance.

When the clouds approached, they saw clearly that they were actually a huge fleet of aircraft, with visual estimates of as many as a thousand.

Seeing so many planes, the aviation personnel said they were not afraid, but that was a lie.

However, in the spirit of the katana, they had to bite the bullet and charge forward.

Most of this fleet are volunteers from aviation clubs and have not received professional air combat training. They are rookies among rookies.

But they have one advantage, that is, there are enough of them.

All of them fired together to form a terrifying barrage. No matter how superb their flying skills were, they could not avoid the damage caused by the metal storm.

Although these are elite pilots of the Japanese army, each of whom has experienced hundreds of battles, they are still unable to cope with the massive number of aircraft.

One frame fell down.

After nearly half of the aircraft was lost, the remaining pilots felt they could no longer hold on and retreated in the name of running out of fuel.

Although the flying brigade that came to assist also suffered heavy losses, they were still very happy. After all, they were the first army to defeat the Japanese.

Awaiting them will be three days of vacation, unlimited beer and ice cream and enthusiastic blondes.

Looking at the pilot who had lost nearly half of his body, Nayun's heart was bleeding.

Those were the elites he had painstakingly cultivated. He only lost a dozen of them in the Pearl Harbor attack. Unexpectedly, they lost nearly half here.

"This is the elite of the Navy and cannot be lost here. Attacking the ground is the Army's business. We cannot expect the Navy to help the Army solve its troubles."

Nanyun made up his mind, and then sent a telegram to the Army. He only said that he had discovered the main force of the American army, but did not say the configuration of the other party.

After seeing the telegram, the division commander, Lieutenant General Kinoshita, was ecstatic.

"Hahaha, we have finally found the main force of the American army. The whole team has gathered. The target is the main force of the American army. We must complete our efforts in one battle and annihilate the main force of the American army!"

He had already communicated with Yamashita and learned that the American army was weak and would surrender with just a slight attack.

For such an enemy, the division commander Kinoshita did not pay attention at all, thinking that this was a military achievement that was delivered to his door.

The soldiers below also had a high fighting spirit because of their indulgence in the past two days. They all clamored to show the American army some color, and then lined up neatly and rushed towards the American army's defense line.
