Chapter 1483 (1/2)
“…… They rushed to us, the roar of the engine was deliberately loud, even covered up the gunshot, like a dense locust. You can't help but look down, and once you lower your head, you're done. They won't give you a chance to lift your head again. The tanks started charging, and then the infantry, and we blew up the roads and knocked down the buildings just to stop them. This is the patriotic war. No one gave up their weapons and surrendered, but our people were captured by them all the time... ”
”The people of the Democratic Party are right. This war was wrong from the beginning.”
This is what one American veteran who survived the battle of Columbus wrote in his memoir 20 years after the end of the war.
At the same time, the star ring trade launched a fierce offensive against the 12 divisions of the U.S. Army stationed in Columbus City, taking the second armored division as the vanguard.
This inland city named after the navigator, as the transportation hub of American aviation, highway and railway, is regarded as an important material storage and distribution center by many North American enterprises. More than that, as the largest city in Ohio, its industry and commerce are extremely developed. It has a number of heavy industrial bases, such as aircraft, automobiles, missiles, electrical appliances, machinery, etc., and occupies an important position in the industrial zone of the Great Lakes.
If you take this place, you will break open the door of the Great Lakes industrial zone.
If you lose here, you will lose the transportation hub of the Great Lakes industrial zone.
From the very beginning, the war was doomed to its tragedy. Both the US military and the star ring trade will never give up here easily.
More than 20000 starring armies have been put into the campaign, as well as three infantry divisions from Moro and a Marine Division from Madagascar. More than 300000 people participated in the battle, and millions were directly or indirectly involved in it.
The air defense sirens went off and on, and the firelight from the explosion of anti-aircraft guns and missiles lit up the sky over Columbus. From long-range missiles to close combat, aurora-20 and freedom wing (f-79) confront the flying formation of F-22 and F-16. The dense smoke in the sky is as tragic as that of the last century.
The positioning of the f-79 is a close range attack aircraft, and air combat is not its field of expertise, but it comes from the equipment of a century later. Just as the A-10 ground attack aircraft is used to sling World War II aircraft, even if the F-22 and F-16 occupy the home and number advantage, the balance of victory is still tilted towards the star ring trade side.
Gunfire and smoke drifted from the outskirts of Columbus into the city.
Tanks rushing into the city, with the help of infantry, clear the streets of resistance.
Not only the American soldiers, but also the citizens of Columbus wearing the American flag and headscarf participated in the battle. However, the semi-automatic rifles and shotguns in the hands of these mobs did not pose a threat to the regular army of the star ring trade. They often broke down at the sound of the gun.
In addition to the twelve American divisions, there were two divisions from Canada, as well as the French foreign corps, the 16th British marine brigade and the 37th Turkish Infantry Brigade that landed at Canadian ports and left for North America
Although the NATO countries finally did not declare war on the star ring trade because of fear of space-based weapons deterrence and the East European fur bears who continued to increase troops to the border, they still extended a helping hand to their boss through the voluntary army and other means of war aid.
But this force can't change anything at all
……
On the other side.
Above the atmosphere.
A giant iron and steel beast, pulled by gravity, speeds down toward the ground.
