Chapter 705 Does he want to play against the attack?
November 3, 1916, Honolulu.
At the door, An Chonggen and several partners waited patiently for the guards to confirm whether the certificate was valid by phone. Although they had been here for several days, the guards still looked like a big enemy with a black face and confirmed their identity again and again every time.Although the two partners around him are a little impatient, no one dares to scratch, and An Chonggen can't afford to be a little responsibilities. Although he has been promoted to major general and has also served as the commander of the North Korean American Army, no one has privileges before this well-defensive command center!
Because this is Honolulu, the command center of the Pacific Theater Command of the Xinhua Empire!
For a long time, like many people, he thought that there was only the Royal Naval Pacific Fleet Command in Honolulu Pearl Harbor, but he never thought that there was a larger theater command center built in the belly of the mountain.
After a while, the guard returned the certificate to An Chonggen and saluted, "General An Chonggen, you can go in."
"Thank you."
An Chonggen politely walked to the protective gate of the base at the foot of the mountain. When he and his friends passed through the thick steel explosion-proof gate, it seemed to have entered a new world. Even if he had been here for a few days, the scene in front of him still shook his mind.
Huge scale, advanced equipment, countless radio stations, mechanical computers and conference rooms, as well as all kinds of strange things that I don't know what they do so far, drenzy.
When most parts of North Korea do not know what electricity is, it is brightly lit and uninterrupted 24 hours a day. According to the understanding, just maintaining the power of this command center is enough to satisfy a small city of tens of thousands of people!
"This is the comprehensive command center of China's Northeast Pacific Theater Command. It does not belong to the Navy, but is directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defense. You see, this is the Communication Center, and this is the Reading Staff Office. Here, you can contact any warship or army regiment in the Northeast Pacific and the American continent theaters. Level combat unit.
This was the first day he came. When the woman who led him and several North Korean officers to visit, the female second lieutenant of the service regiment said that the woman appeared in the army was already surprising, but when she smiled and introduced the whole base to everyone, there was only one thought in their hearts.
Xinhua is so powerful!
It is so powerful that people can no longer raise their hearts of confrontation. Only those allied countries that do not know the details are willing to fight against such an army.
When An Chonggen raised this idea, he did not know that this was one of the ideas of Xinhua General Staff to open up this regional headquarters. He could use force to deter the enemy, so it was the best choice to make them unable to confront their allies and show the tip of the iceberg a little.
"Mr. Major General."
"A salute."
Along the way, Xinhua soldiers kept saluting him. No matter what they thought, at least they could see the strict military rules and style of the Xinhua Army.
A moment later, An Chonggen and his party came to the war room. When the war room with seven or eight rooms was in front of him, he could no longer describe his mood.
The huge three-dimensional sand table is in the center, full of small flags of different colors. Dozens of staff officers ran back and forth, constantly modifying the situation map with the latest information.
Standing in front of the sand table, it seems that the whole Northeast Pacific and the Americas have been condensed. Here you can find any inconspicuous island, and the largest blue plane is full of small symbols representing warships.
Careful people can find that these signs are not fixed, and there will be staff to move every half an hour, which shows that what the female second lieutenant introduced at the beginning is true. This headquarters does control all the maritime forces of Xinhua in the whole northeast Pacific.
At this moment, he can't wait to pack the base and move it back to North Korea immediately!
Of course, that's impossible. Even if he is already a major general, he has become the highest commander of the North Korean National Defense Force after landing in North America, but here we can only see a general idea. It is impossible to know how many secrets there are about these equipment and this base.
"Good morning, General An Chonggen." Seeing An Chonggen, who was stunned, Lin Tai, who was studying the war with several other national officers, immediately came over and said, "An Chonggen has met the lieutenant generals and the generals."
"Ha ha, you're welcome, it's not the first day. Here, let me introduce to you. This is Major General Yachai of the Siamese Army, this is Major General Berman of Germany in China, this is Colombia, and this is Major General Keiji Kawada of the Army Self-Defense Force. They will work with you.
The fact that Xinhua is about to land in the United States has spread all over the world, so it is not surprising that everyone said this to Lin Tai, but Keiji Kawada and An Chonggen looked a little unnatural when they shook hands, because A few years ago, An Chonggen was the commander of the North Korean army in the Japanese clean-up operation.
This unnatural look can't be hidden from Lin Taizeng. In fact, he can't wait to see this scene. Although North Korea and Japan are both allies, it is obviously more in the interests of Xinhua to contain each other than to come together. The emperor and the Prime Minister are even more skilled in creating such a small conflict. For example, in the Fiji Islands last time, North Korea had more. So a little bit of interest has been thought about for a long time. If it hadn't been for New Zealand, I guess the newspapers of the two countries would have scolded each other.
Soon, An Chonggen learned about the goal that several people just discussed, Panama!
The Panama Canal is a major artery that must be completely cut off before landing in the United States. Even he knows that the United States has a strong potential. This is not a joke. Even if the Xinhua Empire has such an advanced command center, it has taken more than a year to solve the northwest and Australia before turning its attention to North America.
The first thing to do to land across the ocean is to solve the enemy's navy. He has no doubt that the powerful Xinhua Navy can do this, but the problem is that if the Panama Canal is not cut off, the United States will have the possibility of sending more warships from the East Coast, and if Panama can't take it down in a day, it must be in North America and Central and South America at the same time. Maintaining two battlefields, the logistical pressure is too great for the coalition forces!
"This is the latest information."
After Lin Tai handed the information about the disappearance of the British and American fleet and the Puerto Rican garrison to An Chonggen, Keiji Kada next to him also seemed to want to take the opportunity to learn about the North Korean general who had studied at Xinhua Army University for two years and asked, "Major General An Chonggen, what do you think?"
The fleet is missing!
The garrison boarded the ship but did not go to Panama, which was in urgent need of reinforcements!
An Chonggen didn't seem to see Keiji Koda's provocative eyes. After walking to the map for a long time, his eyes gradually gathered in Colombia.
"I think their goal should be the east coast of Colombia! Because in this way, it is possible to retaliate against our allies, cut off the Panama transport channel, open up a second battlefield to drag the scale of our troops, and reduce the pressure on Panama.
Lin Tai once nodded. In fact, before the arrival of An Chonggen and Keiji Kawada, he and Ji Rushan felt that Pershing was ready to attack Colombia, because the U.S. lieutenant general was very different from other American conservative officers. Judging from intelligence, he admired Xinhua's mobile tactics very much and did not like defensive warfare. It must be what he wants to do most to drag the United States out of the quagmire of Panama.
He is very clear that the United States and Xinhua are in the same situation as Xinhua's current situation. If they want to solve a two-sided coastal country like Panama, they must first cut off each other's maritime support channels. The problem is that the remnants of the U.S. Pacific Fleet can't come out in San Diego. Xinhua also lacks a base in the Atlantic Ocean to support the fleet, making the two The Fang navy could not intercept the other party's transport fleet.
It was when Pershing saw this that he thought of attacking the east coast of Colombia. He wanted to burn the war in Colombia and open up a second battlefield to continue to drag Xinhua. At the same time, he also had the idea of letting Colombia take the lead in surrender.
Colombia does not need to accumulate the important surnames of the coalition forces. At present, more than 500,000 troops from the three countries of East Asia and South America have entered Panama. These troops consume a huge amount of supplies every day. More than 70% of the food comes from Colombia, and all weapons and ammunition need to pass through Buenaventu. Port delivery.
Therefore, the passage between Koba is also regarded as the most important link to win the Panama Campaign. In order to ensure smoothness and timeliness, Xinhua has invested more than 4,000 trucks, 60 new albatross transport aircraft, 30 hippo-class large airships to Panama, and the navy has to escort it every other week. There are 30 fewer large cargo ships between Hawaii and the port of Buenaventura.
But this country, which is extremely important to the Panama war zone, is now facing a major test!
Pershing, who has only been in Panama for less than 2 months, exposed his fangs and is ready to land on the east coast of Colombia, which has weak defense and lacks naval support!
"General An Chonggen, how do you think we should deal with it?" Keiji Kawada continued to ask.
This problem also made An Chonggen frown. Looking at the troop deployment on the sand table, he was even more worried, because whether from the time or the current troop deployment distribution, Pan Xing can calculate a good move!
First of all, at present, the main force of the coalition forces has advanced to the vicinity of Lake, and the striker has even reached the rainforest area 50 kilometers away from Panama City. Judging from the whole front, it is already staggered. In this case, it is difficult to transfer troops to support. Even if the reinforcements, it is difficult to march in the rainforest and want to arrive. It will take at least 5 days on the east coast of Colombia.
And this American General Pershing is not a fool. Although Xinhua has never announced the combat distance of their aircraft, from various signs, it is about 500 kilometers. This distance can be roughly calculated by himself. There is no reason for the other party to know, so he will definitely not choose to be closer to Panama and Columbus. Darian Bay on the border of Libya.
It is necessary to be able to quickly cut off the Goba supply channel and outside the range of fighters, then the nearest is Sucre Province, Colombia, because it is 570 kilometers away from Erreal Air Force Base, which can effectively avoid the bombing range of Xinhua aircraft.
Córdoba Province on the Copa border is the closest area to there, but there is only North Korea and Japan retreating from the front line to rest the infantry division. Even if Colombia can draw tens of thousands of army support, if it wants to block the possible number of 100,000, there are at least 7 to 8 main battleships escorted by boarding. The land forces are extremely difficult.
Once the U.S. military has a foothold, it will be a big problem. The unimpeded United States can use its uninterrupted transportation force to quickly send hundreds of thousands of troops to Colombia!
What should I do?
Ask for help from the German submarine force operating in the Atlantic? This is a good idea, but the submarine can't defeat such a large fleet, let alone stop the landing.
After thinking about it, An Chonggen, who didn't find a good way, raised his head and spread out his hand and said, "Sorry, Lieutenant General, I can't think of a good way. If I choose, I will send troops to defend Sinsellejo, and then transfer troops from Buenaventura or Panama to block the enemy."
Lin Tai once appreciated An Chonggen's honest attitude. The North Korean major general's attention shows that he still has merits, but he is still a little conservative, but this can't be blamed on him. With the war, some good seedlings have emerged in North Korea and Japan, but the vision and the country are real. The force determines that they can't support the overall situation.
Just when An Chonggen and Keiji Kawada stood in front of the sand table and couldn't find a good way, the door of the war room was pushed open again. This time, there was not only Ji Rushan, the commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet of the Royal Chinese Navy of the Xinhua Empire, who had just been promoted to general, but also the general of the island, the highest officer of the National Self-Defense Force. Sun Hezhong, a general of the National Defense Force, and another man with a dark face and dressed in the uniform of the Xinhua Imperial Army, the rank of lieutenant general on his shoulder made An Chonggen's eyes bright.
"I have met all the generals under Sun Jiugong."
"Sun Jiugong!"
The namemade An Chonggen's eyebrows jump twice. There are many enviable excellent generals in the Xinhua Army, such as Cai E, Li Tianhe, Huang Fuqi and Major General Wu Peifu in the Battle of Augusta not long ago, but they are not as good as the one in front of him. In the past ten years, his victory in the northwest has been enough. Double the land area of Xinhua! So now many people think that he has been firmly in the position of the first person in the Xinhua Army, and even the popular candidate for the next Chief of General Staff.
And I heard that he has always been strict in governing the army, with no sand in his eyes, and no softness in dealing with the enemy, so An Chonggen almost subconsciously straightened his waist, because he will appear here, which means that he may have been appointed as the commander-in-chief of this war against the United States, that is, for a long time in the future. My own boss in the room.
"I don't like polite." Sun Jiugong's eyes swept over An Chonggen and Kheda Keiji: "Now I order the 7th Infantry Division stationed in Montelia, the capital of Córdoba Province, to set off immediately for the 4th Infantry Division and be sure to be stationed in Sinsellejo tomorrow evening. In addition, I have contacted the President of Colombia and the Army Department. They will send two Teachers support you.
I need a guarantee that no matter what happens, Sinsellejo must persist for 20 days to contain the U.S. military for the decisive battle of Panama.
Sure enough, as soon as Sun Jiugong opened his mouth, he made An Chonggen feel the difference and pressure, but with only four divisions, he wanted to prevent the possession of naval guns, and it was possible that as many as 100,000 American soldiers would attack for at least 20 days. Could this be possible?
And what did he just say, Panama, decisive battle?!
Panama is going to fight!
The critical moment when the U.S. military landed in Colombia?
An Chonggen and Keiji Kawada looked at each other and found the shock in each other's eyes. The newly arrived General Sun Jiugong was about to go up against the current and play against the General Pershing!
