    In the frontline headquarters of Japan's North American Combat Command, General Yamamoto and Chief of Staff Minamino sat across from each other. "Minano-kun, we suddenly stopped attacking. The US military commander opposite must be full of doubts!" ??General Yamamoto said slowly.  |}.

    Chief of Staff Minamiye smiled and replied: "Not only the Americans, but our generals also have many doubts, and there are also discussions in private. However, Yamamoto-kun, your exploratory attack yesterday made it clear that the US military's defense system  The next step is, does Yamamoto-kun plan to use air superiority to carry out focused bombing?"

    "Hahaha!" General Yamamoto laughed, "The one who knows me is Nanno-kun! Indeed, after yesterday's multi-point exploratory attacks, the key points of the US military's defense system in the Dilera Mountains have been exposed. I plan to use  A large group of bombers carried out continuous bombing on key targets, and now the direction of Salt Lake City is the main breakthrough point. What do you think, Mr. Nanye?"

    "Oh! Salt Lake City!" General Minamino raised his eyebrows and said: "According to intelligence, Salt Lake City is the headquarters of the US military defense force, and it is also at the midpoint of the US military's Dilera Mountain defense system. If it can be broken through, then  By dividing the U.S. military's defense system into two and using it as a point of destruction, the imperial army can directly take Denver, Cheyenne and other places, and have the central region of the United States under control. Brilliant, this is a brilliant plan!"

    "Minamino-kun, I'm not worried about how the Americans will respond!" General Yamamoto's tone was a little sad, "Because the war in the United States, since the successful occupation of the west coast of the United States, the rhythm of the battlefield has been in the hands of the empire.  , how to fight, when to fight, and where to fight, it¡¯s up to us!¡±

    "The only thing I'm worried about is whether General Ito, the battlefield supervisor who keeps an eye on me, will make a big fuss about this. Based on his own understanding, the report to His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp seems to be true. But it is not like that at all.  The situation!"

    "As far as I know, Supervisor Ito also came to the front two days ago. And he had a long secret conversation with the commander of the 14th Army, Lieutenant General Hirano Yoshiki. I am very worried. Because of Ito's report  . And I had to change some of my established tactics!¡±

    "Yamamoto-kun, you are very worried!" Chief of Staff Minami said understandingly: "What do you need me to do?"

    "Minano-kun, I hope to use your transcendent status to communicate effectively with Ito. We might as well open our plan to him to gain his understanding!" General Yamamoto said sincerely, "Please!" Then, deeply  A bow.

    Salt Lake City.  Lieutenant General Custer, commander of the U.S. Army's Dellera Mountain Line Defense Command.  With a frown on his face, the Japanese fought all day yesterday, but today they are standing still. What conspiracy is brewing?  The wolf that does not show its teeth is the most terrifying.

    Although the Japanese attack was successfully repelled in yesterday's fierce battle, Lieutenant General Custer, who was on the front line, knew very well that the Japanese army did not use all their strength. Despite this, the US military's casualties also reached  More than 8,000 people were killed, most of whom were killed or injured by Japanese bombers.

    "Air supremacy!" Lieutenant General Custer sighed, signed his name on the battle situation report submitted to the wartime high command, and then personally wrote a letter requesting the wartime high command to  Request telegram for additional combat aircraft.

    Lieutenant General Custer knew that if he did not control part of the air superiority in the theater, the more than 500,000 troops in his hands would sooner or later be consumed on the battlefield. Before the telegram was sent, the dull sound of aircraft engines could be heard in the sky.  The roar, as well as the firing of ground anti-aircraft troops and anti-aircraft guns.

    The large-scale bombing by Japanese bombers lasted for two days. Salt Lake City was reduced to ruins under the ravage of countless heavy aerial bombs. Lieutenant General Custer finally waited for a call back from the wartime supreme headquarters.

    But the content of the message made him extremely frustrated, "I have received the call, but your request cannot be fulfilled at the moment. The Army Air Force was completely lost in the Battle of the West Coast, and the Naval Air Force is responsible for the security mission along the U.S-Mexico border and cannot.  Spread out your forces!¡±

    "I hope your ministry will rely on the current defense system to inflict a large amount of damage on the Japanese army and persist for more than twenty days to gain enough time for the reconstruction of the Army Air Force!"

    Unable to wait for reinforcements from combat aircraft, Lieutenant General Custer gave up and focused on how to stop the Japanese army. Based on the location where the Japanese bombers bombed and the important location of the headquarters, he judged that the Salt Lake  The city is likely to become the key offensive direction of the Japanese army.

    The location of Salt Lake City is too sensitive and important. Once captured by the Japanese army, the entire Dilera Mountain defense line will be immediately cut into two disconnected parts. Looking at the map, Lieutenant General Custer took a breath of air conditioning.  Subsequently, he issued an order to move an infantry division and a motorcycle division located in Granger toThe optimized infantry division, three artillery regiments, and two anti-aircraft artillery regiments were transferred to the direction of Salt Lake City to strengthen the defense forces in the area.

    Sure enough, after two consecutive days of fierce bombing, General Yamamoto dispatched four divisions of troops. With the cooperation of hundreds of large-caliber heavy artillery, more than 500 tanks, and hundreds of combat aircraft, they launched an attack on Salt Lake City.  A ferocious attack.

    General Yamamoto made thunderous gestures, and the attack on Salt Lake City started like a storm. Although Lieutenant General Custer was well prepared, under the fierce Japanese attack, the U.S. military's frontline defense in Salt Lake City was crumbling.  On the verge of danger.

    Lieutenant General Custer gritted his teeth and moved the general reserve force of the campaign in Craig, the Fifth Army and the Eighth Army, except for the strength of one infantry division each, to the direction of Salt Lake City.

    The fierce and cruel battle lasted for three full days, and both the Japanese and American troops suffered heavy casualties. A total of more than 60,000 soldiers from both sides fell on the battlefield, with an average of more than 20,000 casualties per day. The Dillera Mountains  The battlefield in Salt Lake City, with a width of more than 100 kilometers, was almost covered with the corpses of American and Japanese soldiers, soaked in blood.

    Three days later, General Yamamoto, who was able to fight with ease, replaced the four tired divisions with four new divisions. Maintaining the intensity and density of the attack, the Japanese heavy artillery shells and bomber bombs were overwhelmed.  US military positions.

    But Lieutenant General Custer was unable to do so. Except for the two infantry divisions that would only be used as a last resort, almost all of the troops he had on hand were filled up on the battlefield in Salt Lake City. The troops in other directions were because the Japanese army adopted  The constant offensive posture is also due to a defensive state, and there is no way to mobilize it to reinforce the Salt Lake City battlefield.

    The fierce and intensive artillery fire of the Japanese army and the bomber bombardments that roared in the sky all day caused huge casualties to the American soldiers on the position. After the battle, Lieutenant General Custer can be sure that Salt Lake City is the focus of the Japanese army.  Breakthrough direction.

    The casualties of more than 20,000 people every day caused the blood of the US military to drain rapidly. Under this situation, Lieutenant General Custer had to ask for help from the highest wartime headquarters. He knew in his heart that the troops would continue to suffer casualties at this rate.  , it was impossible to hold on for more than twenty days. After about two weeks, there were not many soldiers left on the position!

    In Berlin, Germany, a piece of intelligence from the North American battlefield was placed on the desk of the German leader Hitler. Marshal Strongs, the chief of the German general staff, was reporting the situation, "My leader, the Japanese have mobilized more than 800,000 troops.  , as well as a large number of tanks, heavy artillery and combat aircraft, launched a fierce attack on the US defense line in the Dilera Mountains! "

    "By the time we got the intelligence, the US military had suffered heavy casualties, and similarly, the Japanese had suffered heavy casualties, but it was obvious that the battlefield situation was very unfavorable to the Americans. According to the judgment of the General Staff, the US military's defense line in the Dilera Mountains,  I can¡¯t last more than a month!¡±

    "Dear Strongs, do you think that the Americans will be defeated again soon?" Hitler looked at his deputy and asked.

    "That's it, my F¨¹hrer!"

    "Okay, it's time for Rommel to take action. We can't let the Japanese get ahead of us and occupy the eastern part of the United States. This area can only belong to Germany!" Hitler's voice became sharper. "With the help of the General Staff  In the name of the United States, give an order to Rommel to put the military boots of German soldiers on American soil!¡±

    The U.S-Mexico border is located on the U.S. side of Phoenix, still immersed in sleep. Although this is the border, the German team is on the opposite side, and it is not far from Los Angeles on the west coast. However, after the Japanese occupied the west coast, they did not go there.  Attacking in the direction of Phoenix, the flames of war have not yet spread to this border city in the southern United States.

    The U.S. border guards in the direction of Phoenix are part of the Thirteenth Army. Some time ago, the inexplicable large-scale mobilization of German troops in Mexico really made the Americans on the other side of the border extremely nervous and their hearts beating wildly.  A cold sweat ran down my spine.

    Fortunately, after the Germans struggled for more than ten days, they did not launch an attack. The American soldiers who lay in the trenches day and night, highly nervous and staring at the movements of the Germans on the opposite side, finally breathed a sigh of relief. What followed was from  Mental slack and relaxation.

    In the early morning of January 25th, some morning light had already appeared in the eastern sky. The US military patrols on the border were still patrolling mechanically. In the city of Phoenix, early risers began to get busy, and the sky above the city was shrouded.  With a layer of mist-like smoke, everything in the city was as usual, calm and peaceful.

    At about four o'clock, the huge roar of aircraft engines suddenly came from the sky. More than 800 German "Stuka" bombers, escorted by fighter jets, suddenly launched an air attack on Phoenix.When bombs roared from the sky, the residents of Phoenix knew that war was coming!

    On the U.S-Mexico border, more than one million elite German troops launched an all-out attack on the United States in an area stretching several thousand kilometers from Matamoros in the east to Mexicali in the west. Germany's war against the United States began.  Got it!
