"This group of guys, the president asked him to be the governor, but he insisted on changing it to the chairman of the Supreme Executive Committee. Does this name sound good?" Yang Hucheng shook his head and said, "Let him come in and listen to what he has to say."

Soon Li Longzhi came in with his personal secretary, and he walked to Yang Hucheng angrily and said, "I want Commander Yang to give me an explanation, why did your garrison retreat without the order of the Supreme Executive Committee? This is a serious breach of order."

When Yang Hucheng heard what Li Longzhi said, he immediately put on a serious face: "Governor Li, you have to make it clear that you are the governor of the colony appointed by the Hualan Kingdom. According to the laws of the Hualan Kingdom, the military and government must be implemented separately. This is the Hualan Kingdom. There is no supreme executive committee in the colonies, please realize this."

"When President Zhao Shouhong was in office, he promised me the concept of one country, two systems and allowed Morocco to implement its own political system. You should know this." Li Longzhi refused to budge.

"Of course I know that you can implement your own political system, but I am a soldier of Hualan Kingdom, and I only obey orders issued by the Ministry of Defense. If you intend to use the excuse of one country, two systems to intervene in the affairs of the army, I will use conspiracy to rebel Please Governor Li recognize this point.” Yang Hucheng said one by one to Governor Li, making it clear that he did not recognize his Supreme Executive Committee and would not obey his orders.

"But your garrison left the garrison without authorization and did not stop the enemy from invading. You won't deny that, right?" Li Longzhi asked rhetorically.

"I have reminded you many times that fortifications should be built in ports and shoals where you can log in to prevent possible enemy aggression, but you refused to implement it on the grounds of lack of funds for economic construction. Now facing the strength of the White Eagle Kingdom Fleet, we don’t have any weapons to fight against. If we stick to Casablanca, it’s just a dead end. I have to care about the life and death of my soldiers, and I can’t throw them into unnecessary battles.” Yang Hucheng stared at Li Longzhi. , but in his tone he refused to budge.

"But you transferred the citizens without authorization, which is not within the scope of the military's authority." Li Longzhi had no choice but to take the next best thing, in order to make Yang Hucheng succumb.

However, Yang Hucheng smiled slightly and said, "According to the laws of Hualan Kingdom, under the wartime system, the army has the right to recruit civilians to deliver supplies for the army. I just recruited the whole city to send military supplies. This is not your business, right?" .Of course government personnel are not included in this list. If you must let them stay, I have no objection."

"You..." Li Longzhi was so angry that his eyes were burning, but he couldn't refute, which made him feel extremely aggrieved.

"I won't just leave this matter alone, I will report it to my superiors." After saying that, Li Longzhi turned around and left.

Looking at the back of Li Longzhi going away, Major General Wang Jinshan, the chief of staff who had been silent beside him, sighed: "It is irrational for the commander to do this. At this critical juncture, both the military and the government should work together instead of mutual grudges."

"I understand this, but this is by no means a reason to tolerate him exceeding his authority. The military has its own rules and regulations on how to fight a war, and what local officials have to do is logistical support." Yang Hucheng sighed: "I always feel that the White Eagle The country's offensive is a bit strange, and there seems to be some big conspiracy in it. So before this conspiracy is exposed, we must preserve our strength, and I think Li Longzhi will understand after a while."

"Is there a conspiracy? I have the same feeling." Major General Wang Jinshan nodded.

Yang Hucheng waved his hand and said, "Continue to retreat. We need to build a new line of defense within [-] kilometers inland, notify the Air Force to prepare for the battle, and send a telegram to the General Staff to tell them our worries, at least to remind them. .”

"I understand." Major General Wang Jinshan nodded.

The commander of this amphibious operation is Admiral Spruance, the new Commander of the Storm Ocean Fleet. After the original commander, Ernest Joseph King, was transferred to be the Minister of the Navy, this position had been vacant for a long time.It wasn't until during the feint attack on the Japanese country that Spruance discovered the opponent's doubts in time and retreated decisively, and reported his concerns to his superiors.It's a pity that when Spruance sent his report, Halsey's fleet had already been attacked by air, which prevented him from changing the course of history.

Although Halsey failed to escape the catastrophe and was temporarily dismissed after the defeat, Spruance relied on his outstanding performance and that paper report to become the new commander of the Ocean of Storms Fleet and become the The Miz is an equal figure.

Everyone in the navy was quite surprised by the appointment of Spruance. Although he could also use the reason for his promotion during the war, many discerning people still saw the meaning of checks and balances.

The first thousand 390 chapters and five successful landings

Now that the Eastern Ocean Fleet has suffered heavy losses, the Storm Ocean Fleet, which was ranked second, has become even stronger, and Ernest, who was born in the Storm Ocean Fleet, has become the Minister of the Navy. It seems that the Storm Ocean Fleet is too powerful.

Now that Spruance, a general from the Eastern Ocean Fleet, is appointed as the commander of the Ocean of Storms Fleet, he obviously has the idea of ​​reducing the power of the Ocean of Storms Fleet.In addition, Spruance, who was single-handedly promoted by Nimitz, is equal to him. Naturally, he will have other thoughts, and it is not impossible to stand on his own. This will create a new force and make the situation of the navy even more complicated. changeable.The complex forces within the navy are more conducive to Roosevelt's control of the army, just as he opposed MacArthur and Eisenhower in the army.

Regardless of Roosevelt's ideas, in consideration of personal development, Spruance had no reason to refuse this appointment.Of course, due to lack of qualifications, Spruance's appointment to this position has also been subject to controversy, and this combat operation has become a key battle for him to stabilize his personal status.

For this amphibious operation, Spruance is still somewhat sure, because according to the intelligence, Morocco is just a colony of the Hualan Kingdom far away from the mainland, and there is not even a Hualan Kingdom regular army stationed there.Except for the security forces composed of some locals, there are only six divisions of Japanese mercenaries.This strength is just a piece of cake for the expeditionary force of the White Eagle Army, which now exceeds 30.

Standing on the bridge, Spruance looked at the outline of the mainland with an arc of mouth from a distance, and he knew that the time for him to become famous had finally arrived.At this time, Eisenhower, who was in charge of the army's operation and had already been promoted to a five-star general, walked up to him and said, "It's up to us this time. The southern continent is a continent with a vast area, enough for us to do whatever we want. I hope we can be here and contribute to the White Eagle Kingdom."

"Maybe, let's make a difference for the two of us." The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

The carrier-based aircraft unit was dispatched first, whether it was the Dreadnought dive bomber or the Avenger torpedo bomber, they were all loaded with heavy bombs at this moment, rushing towards various key points in Casablanca.

Before the White Eagle Nation's carrier-based air force was in the air, violent explosions suddenly occurred in many places in the city. Thick smoke and flames rose up, almost covering half of the city.At the beginning, the pilots thought that the other party had self-harmed to stop their own bombing, but when the bombing started, they discovered some strange phenomena.

When the heavy bomb of the carrier-based aircraft force fell on the center of the city, blowing up the six-storey government building and collapsed, the pilots were surprised to find that there were no fleeing people nearby.Could it be that they are very calm and turn a blind eye to their own bombing? This is obviously not the answer, because even well-trained soldiers can hardly be calm in the face of bombing.

At the moment when the bomb fell, the normal reaction of the people should be to escape from the house and run away from the city, but now the situation is actually the opposite. The streets are quiet, even those houses destroyed by the shock wave are also quiet. No figure appears.

Also abnormal is the army. A large number of bombers in the air did not hear any anti-aircraft guns counterattacking. This is unimaginable for the Japanese army, which has [-] air defense battalions in each division.After careful observation, the pilot came to a startling conclusion that this is an empty city.

After dropping the bombs, the pilots returned to their mothership and reported the situation to their superiors.After receiving this report, Spruance ordered the cessation of naval bombardment and aircraft bombing, and he ordered that except for fighter jets on duty in the air, other aircraft would not take off to fight.

At the same time, Eisenhower issued an order to send the First Division of the White Eagle Army to the port to find out the situation.Soon the army soldiers in small boats embarked on the journey, they were on guard all the way, ready to resist the attack from the shore at any time.However, there was no difficulty in this operation. Until the soldiers of the White Eagle Kingdom stepped onto the hard stone pier in Casablanca, they did not fire a single shot.Everything seemed so strange, as if what they arrived was not a prosperous city, but a ruin that had been abandoned for a hundred years.

According to the usual combat sequence, Brigadier General Ridgway commanded his troops to infiltrate various areas of the city with a company as a unit to scout the situation in Casablanca.An hour later, the information of all the troops was fed back through the radio. The whole city had no food, no population, no wells, and nothing but houses standing on the ground. It was like a dead city.

Eisenhower was also quite surprised when he received this information. He did not expect that the other party would be so decisive that he would completely abandon such a big city without seeing the enemy.Although the White Eagle Army easily occupied Casablanca, and they were able to use the pier to transport all the military supplies to land, in fact Eisenhower was not at peace.

He knew very well in his heart that if he could not take advantage of the sea and air on the coastline to cause huge damage to the Japanese mercenaries in Hualan Kingdom, it would be difficult to start future wars.The Japanese mercenaries who are familiar with the terrain will form a large number of guerrillas together with the locals to attack the White Eagle Army in nearby areas, which will be a more difficult problem.

After all the White Eagle Army landed on land, they immediately sent multiple troops out of the city to scout the situation.However, they soon discovered that the city was densely covered with minefields, and the reconnaissance force lost hundreds of soldiers due to initial indolence.The White Eagle Army had to carefully clear the mines and completely clear the minefields near the entire city.The Japanese soldiers quickly countered with guerrilla warfare. Relying on the dense rainforest around the city, they used cold guns to attack the White Eagle Army soldiers who were clearing mines from time to time. The Japanese soldiers' precise shooting annoyed the White Eagle Army, and the losses continued to increase.

At the beginning, the White Eagle Army fought back with artillery or even naval guns, but the Japanese soldiers were short and flexible, and they changed places after each shot, which made the White Eagle Army's shelling a waste of ammunition.Eisenhower later had to place more than five machine gunners behind each deminer.Once the deminers in front were shot coldly, five machine guns immediately greeted them, and the Japanese soldiers also lost a lot of manpower by relying on this method.

Soon the Japanese soldiers changed their tactics again. They used cold guns to deal with the deminers first, and when the machine guns exposed their targets, they immediately called out mortars.The White Eagle Army had to deploy field artillery groups on the front line to suppress the opponent's mortars.

The first thousand and 390 six chapters surprise attack

The two sides were deadlocked in the minefield, and it took ten days in a flash. Yang Hucheng used this time to find Liu Shiqi and explained his thoughts to him in detail.Liu Shiqi gave strong support to Yang Hucheng's idea of ​​avoiding his strengths and leading the White Eagle Army to the inland for annihilation. He worked for Li Longzhi and finally got the other party's consent.

The Hualan Kingdom began an intensive retreat. All coastal cities were abandoned, and the population and supplies were brought inland. The water wells in various cities along the coast were sealed and buried to prevent them from being used by the White Eagle Army.Relying on such a solid wall and clearing the field, during the period when the White Eagle Army was trapped in Casablanca, the Moroccan colony of Hualan Kingdom completed a comprehensive retreat and completely gave up the coastline.

After all, the minefields were limited. When all the mines were completely cleared, the scope of activities of the White Eagle Army became larger, and without the protection of the minefields, those Japanese soldiers who were sniping coldly also gradually withdrew from the surrounding areas.The White Eagle Army began to control various strategic locations near Casablanca to prevent Hualan's army from counterattacking. At the same time, it consolidated the land it had acquired so that the White Eagle Army could transport a large amount of supplies here and stockpile supplies for the army's later operations.

During this time, Yang Hucheng was also busy. After Liu Shiqi's persuasion and learning of the strength of the White Eagle Army that landed in Casablanca, Li Longzhi and Yang Hucheng resolved their suspicions.After all, the two sides have no personal grudges, they just work hard for the prosperity of the country.

Yang Hucheng immediately stated that he would arm all the nearby black tribes and train them by the army so that they could become new guerrillas to resist the attack of the White Eagle Army.Li Longzhi said that he would fully cooperate with the logistics work to ensure the food, weapons and ammunition of the army.

Eisenhower knew that he should not rush to attack Morocco. Now that the first step has been successful, he cannot make any mistakes at this time. The 30 troops were divided into two groups, and quickly occupied various key cities on the coastline. As Eisenhower envisioned, these cities also became empty cities.

After stabilizing the base on the coastline, Eisenhower began to advance inland. However, facing the vast rainforest, the heavy equipment of the White Eagle Army was not strong enough, and they had to use various light weapons to fight against the guerrillas that appeared at any time.

Under the command of Yang Hucheng, the newly formed guerrilla groups began to attack everywhere, and fought a vigorous guerrilla warfare in the jungle.The battle distance between the two sides has changed from hundreds of meters on the plain to more than ten meters in the rainforest, which makes the soldiers of the White Eagle Army very uncomfortable.The M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles in their hands can hardly suppress the opponent's Type [-] semi-automatic rifles in terms of firepower, while the opponent's more excellent Type [-] general-purpose machine guns, Type [-] grenade launchers and grenade launchers, as well as various types of mortars. However, it became a nightmare for the White Eagle Army, and the two sides launched an evenly matched strangulation battle in the jungle.

Yang Hucheng did not completely disperse his main force. In addition to sending some squad leaders to form a large number of guerrillas, the Japanese army is still waiting to move. They usually use regiments as units to carry out annihilation campaign against the relatively large White Eagle Army. Fighting against movement, this gave Eisenhower a headache.

While the armies of both sides were playing hide-and-seek in the rainforest, the Teutonic and Roman armies had secretly assembled on the border.When the coalition forces of the two countries go to war, a worldwide battle for supremacy is about to begin, and the final result will undoubtedly be endless.

At this time, on the long border between Bailuosha and Ukraine, on the banks of the Vardar River in the Ottoman Republic, on the dividing line between the Egyptian Libyan Plateau, the Siwa Oasis and the Great Jilev Plateau, the most elite 250 divisions of the Teutonic Kingdom , and the 67 divisions of Rome and the various slave countries are already in position, ready to attack at any time.

At 1942:8 in the morning on August 11, 04, the motors on the front-line airports rumbled, and more than 30 dive bombers and tactical bombers took off under the cover of 4000 BF109G and FW[-] fighter jets, and flew towards ASEAN. Frontline airports of each member state.

Zhao Shouhong has always spared no effort in frontier warnings. Although the intelligence system had not received any news in advance, the radars on the commanding heights of the border captured the information of the opponent's aircraft fleet at the first time.

The Teutonic Air Force never imagined that Hualando's radar system could cover a range of 45 kilometers within its territory, but they switched to ultra-low altitude flight only [-] kilometers away from the national border. As a result, the early formation flight allowed the radar to capture It's right.

After discovering a large-scale air force operation in the direction of the Teutonic state, the radar system immediately transmitted the news to the headquarters.The headquarters of the ASEAN countries, which had entered a state of first-level alert because of the truce between the Teutonic State and the White Eagle Army, quickly issued instructions, and fighter jets took off to prepare for war, ready to deal with all possible emergencies.

After the war with the White Eagle Country and the country entered a wartime system, Zhao Shouhong began to integrate the military command systems of the ASEAN countries.Now the armies of various countries have all been controlled by the Hualan State General Staff, and they have become an allied army that can unite and cooperate. This is much stronger than the Axis countries that rely on the bond of interest to connect.

Five minutes after the fighter units at the various military airports were ordered to take off, this information was also transmitted to the Hualan State General Staff Headquarters. The Deputy Chief of Staff Bai Chongxi who was on duty frowned when he saw it, and suddenly felt a little dissatisfied. good idea.

While ordering all the troops on the western border to enter a state of war, he notified Zhao Shouhong and Liu Bozhao of the news.Soon all the military officials in Beihua City gathered in the combat command room of the General Staff Headquarters to discuss the changes in the Teutonic Kingdom.

Panting, Zhao Shouhong rushed to the General Staff Headquarters. At this time, all the senior officers of the sea, land and air staff had arrived. As soon as he entered the door, he said to Bai Chongxi: "How is the situation?"

Bai Chongxi pointed to the map on the wall and said: "Half an hour ago, the Teutonic air force crossed the border and bombed our defenders. Our fighter force resisted bravely, but the number was half that of the opponent's. , the performance of the aircraft is similar, and our army is unable to stop the bombing of the other side. The current situation in the air is in a stalemate. I have already dispatched air forces from nearby military regions to provide support. The Teutonic Army crossed the border 10 minutes ago and began to attack Fortresses on the territory of our ASEAN countries have been attacked."
