The sun never sets in America

Chapter 412 Lucky Hu Fengyun and the War Initiative

“No one refuses a gift unless he is rich!!”

Xu Hao looked at everyone present and said something very "suggestive".

At this time, Yuan Qing, who had been observing for a long time, also stood up and said:
"Everyone, giving up is sometimes a kind of wisdom. Instead of waiting for the other party to make up for the shortcomings and making future wars more difficult, it is better to speed up the pace of this war and let the pace be firmly in our hands."

Yuan Qing's words have made it obvious that he has agreed to Xu Hao's "induction plan", and the next step is to discuss how to implement it.

In the war room, there were voices of quarrels and "agitation" from time to time.

…………

Sand City Battlefield...

"Creak", when the leather military boots step on the broken bricks, they will make a similar small scream from time to time.

This kind of scream is very obvious. Although the sound is not very loud, it is very penetrating and can be felt from a long distance.

While dodging, he lowered his head to see if there was anything worth "picking up".

"You can't make any money, life is harder than iron!!"

Hu Fengyun was coughing continuously in the position. A burst of smoke and dust just blew in, blowing away part of his already poor "wealth luck".

Of course, this sentence is actually a comfort to him. After all, his luck is indeed not very good, and it can even be said to be unlucky.

For a person like Hu Fengyun who is "not selective about what he eats", although the profit from clothes is low, he cannot let it go.

So those woolen coats were all taken away by him.

"Da da da!!"

Of course, bad luck is bad luck, Hu Fengyun's performance on the battlefield in Shanghai is still remarkable, and he can always survive.

"What the hell!!"

These furs are unnecessary after other people have scavenged them, but for Hu Fengyun, these things are the best trophies.

The most obvious one is that every time he looks for loot, the following categories of items often pop up:
"Broken watches, letters home from soldiers, love letters between lovers, a ring that was blown to pieces, and low-end guns that couldn't be piled up."

All in all, in Hu Fengyun’s own words:

“Shit Yankee!!”

Then he said very happily:
"Fuck, even if you don't die, could it be that my luck is all about saving my life?"

The saber slashed across the coat, revealing the lining inside, and Hu Fengyun showed a trace of pride on his face.

What kind of concept is this? It's equivalent to a close encounter between you and the God of Death. In the end, the God of Death tells you: "Boy, you can't die yet!!"

The final result was no surprise, two people died, and only Hu Fengyun and a child swimming in shallow water survived.

Most of these furs are used as linings in the clothes of senior officers, which can be regarded as a restrained luxury.

"Another one!!"

Because compared to watches that cost a lot of money to repair, furs that cost nothing and can be cashed in have become his favorite.

Compared to that "coward", Hu Fengyun was completely tied up by the water plants near the shallows and couldn't swim at all.

After thinking for a long time, Hu Fengyun couldn't figure out the reason. In the end, he could only blame it on "metaphysics".

Hu Fengyun stepped on the broken bricks and carefully avoided the disgusting-looking corpses.

"Cough cough!!"

According to the regulations of the US military, the clothes of senior officers can be customized, so adding fur and other precious fabrics to them has become inevitable.

After jumping into the trench and falling down, Hu Fengyun raised his head and said a classic "national curse".

Boom boom! !
The shells were like venting fire, hitting around the barbed wire fence, turning the good barbed wire fence into a rotten net that could not even pull people out.

As a "non-chief" with no good luck, apart from being able to get canned fruits from the logistics department, Hu Fengyun's progress on the road of being a "garbage man" was not good at all, and could even be said to be a complete failure.

During that time, the adults in the family also told the children not to go to the water.

In the words of Hu Fengyun:
“If you don’t have enough to eat, you won’t have too much to drink, and you will suffer from poverty if you don’t know how to calculate!!”

The most fun thing is that when Hu Fengyun was a child, he played in the pond in his hometown. It was the rainy season at that time, and the pond was also filled with water. It was several times deeper than before.

"Boom", a cannonball hit. Hu Fengyun jumped down out of instinct, just dodging the extremely accurate cannonball.

But human nature is like this, especially for a group of teenagers. The more you don't let me do something, I will do whatever I want, and several teenagers including Hu Fengyun will get into trouble.

"Oh shit……"

Of course, this also includes so-called rags.

In fact, he has experienced this many times. The last time he was shot, it hit the side corner of the helmet and passed through his scalp.

We must know that in today's battlefield, surviving is not a blessing. ?
"Come back quickly, those fools are coming again!!"

.........

Hu Fengyun listened to the sound of machine gun fire in his ears, and kept looking towards the battlefield outside the barbed wire fence. He saw that the outside at this moment was covered with corpses, and even those guys with "red crosses" were fighting. Several died.

"Forget it, let's live first!!"

Just as Hu Fengyun was "scavenging", a hurried shout came from behind him.

"Prepare, prepare..."

"Drip drip!!"

When the whistle and the captain's shout sounded, Hu Fengyun quickly raised the rifle in his hand and aimed it at the foreign soldiers who had begun to attack.

Maybe it was because of the heavy investment this time, or maybe it was because the Han army didn't have time to repair the barbed wire fence. The entire attack process was many times smoother than just now.

"Bang bang", the rifle in his hand was pulled for an unknown number of times and loaded with bullets.

Hu Fengyun looked at more and more enemy troops pouring into the gap. On the surface, the situation was calm, but in his heart, he didn't know how scared he was! !
"Da da da", "boom", the roaring machine gun that was still making noises around me suddenly stopped. What was left behind were the completely scrapped machine gun parts, the machine gunner with his brains leaking out, and the half-dead device. Play hand.

When the sound of the machine gun stopped, Hu Fengyun felt something was wrong. After all, in the current war, what would be the consequences of losing the machine gun. As a member of the front line, Hu Fengyun knew very well.

He raised his head and looked around, only to see fewer and fewer comrades around him. Slowly, Hu Fengyun realized that he was in more danger than ever before.

"Boom!!"

Another heavy shell hit the top of the position. It might be a coincidence, or it might be fate. The power of a 240mm shell directly turned the entire position over, and the soil lifted up directly pressed down on the position. At the top, only a small part of the exit is left.

The people inside, including Hu Fengyun, were deeply concealed, but except for Hu Fengyun, who was alive, most of them were dead.

"Put it in!!"

A bayonet was inserted into the bodies around Hu Fengyun and then pulled out.

"One left!!"

The American soldier who was responsible for searching for Han soldiers who had slipped through the net or who were pretending to be dead was just about to insert a bayonet into Hu Fengyun's body to test whether he was dead when he heard a sentence coming from the front:
"Quickly retreat, the Han people are coming!!"

Boom boom boom! !

Before he could finish speaking, dense shells hit the surrounding area, creating an even greater momentum than before.

When the gunfire ended, the sinister soldiers standing above the ditch, constantly testing with knives, had disappeared, and only some pieces of rags and clothes were left behind.

"Da da da!!"

When the sound of machine gunfire rang around him again, Hu Fengyun, who was pressed under the ditch, poked his head out. His whole body was covered with dust and his face was completely black. The only thing that remained unchanged was his bright little head. Eye.

It looks like a "living dead" who just crawled out of the cemetery.

"Cough cough!!"

"Horse riding!!"

The same cough, the same national curse, the first time Hu Fengyun came out, no matter what, he cursed first as a sign of respect.

Looking at the "horrified" eyes of the people around him, Hu Fengyun said with a bright smile:
"Good afternoon everyone, I was on duty in the morning. Fortunately, I didn't die!!"

The sentence "not dead" immediately made Hu Fengyun a man of the hour in this position. Some people even gave him the nickname "Invincible".

For Hu Fengyun, it didn't matter whether he couldn't be beaten to death. What was important was that he survived again.

This is a happy thing, but the unhappy thing is that all his money was lost in that war. The loss was just an excuse, but in fact it was destroyed.

After working on it for more than a week, I finally returned to the "original starting point".

But as Hu Fengyun said:
"I'm used to it, I've gotten used to it a long time ago!!"

.............................................

"More troops must be added!!"

“Only by increasing the number of troops can we capture this damn town!!”

The division commander Trosi is a typical Nordic, with dazzling blond hair and fairer skin than the average white man, making him look like a real "white man".

Originally, his character was not as impatient as expected, but since joining the Youzhou battlefield, he cursed words starting with F at least fifty times a day.

"We must hold on to this point. As long as we hold on to this point, the Han army in the city will be finished. To open up such a front, we need..."

Before Trosi finished speaking, there was a sound from outside:
"The Han army has withdrawn, the Han army has retreated!!"

Troxi, who was still preparing to take down a certain building in the city, had a dull expression. He felt something was wrong, and his mind was filled with shouts of "the Han army has withdrawn."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!!"

"How could they retreat? At this time, they still have the upper hand, how could they retreat!!"

Facing such an "exciting" moment, Trosi could still retain a trace of reason. This shows that he was well educated during this period.

When the second round of "Han Army Retreat" sounded, all the senior officers, including Troxi, fell into a state of joy or joy.

After all, they got the town they dreamed of. This was simply a "miracle" for the Americans who had suffered so much with machine guns and barbed wire.

Moreover, this miracle was given to them by the Han people on their own initiative.

"Do you want to give chase??"

An "inopportune" voice sounded, and everyone present, including Troxi, selectively ignored this "suggestion".

After all, for them, since they have got what they want, wouldn't they be fools to fight with the Han army? ?
Being able to escape unscathed and still get benefits is something that I never dared to think about before. Now that it is in their hands, it still feels a little unreal.

If we let them pursue us at this time, that would not be "war merit", it would be "sacrifice".

Just like the saying, "I've been playing for so long, but I still can't enjoy it."

Now that the Han army has surrendered the city, there is no need to hold on to it. After all, if you hold on for a long time, it is easy to get into trouble.

The Han army is not a third-rate army. With their strength, it is simply a piece of cake to stop the enemy during their retreat.

Of course, this is a child's play that the Americans themselves justified. After all, otherwise, it would be difficult to give a reasonable explanation after the war.

.........

"What, another town won??"

The pipe in Lieutenant General Art's mouth was shaking constantly and his brows were rising, which showed his mood at this moment.

Just now, that is, an hour ago, they captured a large town near Shacheng. When he learned the news, he personally sent a report to commend the division, and also said that he would use them as an example to call on the entire Southern Army. All come to learn.

But what is going on now? In just two days, they have captured at least nine towns that used to take a long time and cost huge casualties.

You must know that according to the current exchange ratio, the casualties of the siege side are basically more than twice those of the defending method.

There are nine cities of similar size. According to initial estimates, if the Han army has sufficient troops and ammunition, they will have to pay at least more than 300,000 casualties.

But now, there are less than 80,000 people in total, and they have easily obtained things that could only be exchanged for hundreds of thousands.

For Art, and even the entire Southern Army, this was no less than winning the jackpot, and it was something that had never been imagined before.

Thinking of this, Art immediately shouted to his secretary:

"Convene a meeting with officers above the regiment who are still at the headquarters!!"

After the secretary left, Art turned back and looked at the battlefield situation map hanging on the whiteboard wall. He could see at a glance the plain beyond the first line of defense that was vast enough for a million troops to fully deploy.

Once they enter this plain, they will fill the heart of the entire Youzhou as quickly as possible. By then, the Han army's so-called defense line composed of railways and cities will become a "vase" sandwiched at both ends. Clamp it and it will break.

Texas seemed to be right in front of Art's eyes, getting closer and closer.

.........

"I don't think it's a good opportunity to attack the middle right now."

"Our army is still unable to solve the problem of the first line of defense. Sand City has not been captured, and Dragon City is even less likely!!"

"If we enter the central part of the country at this time, I'm sure it will be the biggest mistake our Southern Army has ever made!!"

Lei Qi was still the main force opposing the attack. In his imagination, it was actually very difficult to capture Youzhou at this time. It could even be said that they were already fighting against the Han army's barbed wire and machine gun offensive. To the limit.

The most important thing at this time is no longer the occupation of Youzhou, let alone the so-called restoration of Texas, but the capture of key positions.

"Our army should give up the opportunity to march into heavy areas and even big cities like Shacheng, and concentrate its forces on Longjiang. Only here is the real lifeblood of the entire Youzhou!!"

"Once Longjiang is captured, our army will control Longjiang Port, and controlling Longjiang means that our army will control the entire Atlantic Ocean to the Caribbean. This means absolute maritime security for our country. This means cutting off the maritime connections between Han and the Atlantic Ocean, and even Europe..."

"If we concentrate our forces to fight Longjiang, we will get Han's largest city in Texas, the best port, and even the powerful Atlantic fleet will become a lone army..."

"And an army without logistical supplies is destined to be eliminated!!"

Lei Qi talked for a long time, and basically had the same idea. He gave up the great opportunity to march into the central part of the country, even abandoned Shacheng, which had already invested heavily in troops, and continued to attack Longjiang, the only fulcrum city and port of Han Dynasty in the Atlantic Ocean.

Use the power of the army to eliminate Han's naval power in the Atlantic and cut off its connection with Europe.

But no matter what Lei Qi said, no one was willing to listen, because they could not refuse the temptation of the entire Youzhou and the temptation of regaining their "homeland".

"Leitch, don't you think this opportunity at this moment is like an excellent counterattack opportunity given by God to us and to the United States?"

"As long as we take back the central part, and then take back all of Texas, the history of the entire America will be changed by us!!"

Even the calm Lieutenant General Art can hardly restrain his desire for the central region.

“But what if this opportunity is a trap for the Han people??”

Leitch's words made the atmosphere on the field drop a lot.

"But even if it's a trap, we still have to jump in, not for anything else, just for America!!"

Lieutenant General Art's words raised the atmosphere on the field a few degrees higher.

"Everyone, the White House just sent a telegram, asking us to occupy the central part as soon as possible, and after taking the central part, occupy the entire Texas as quickly as possible..."

"Lechi, we have no choice!!"

Looking at the highly strategically capable Leitch in front of him, Art knew that what he just said was right, but this was an order from the White House, and as a soldier, he could not disobey it.

"Leiqi, military must be subordinated to strategy, and this strategy is not under our control!!"

There was a hint of "grievance" in Art's words. After all, the man in the White House had interfered in their war more than once.

In many wars, Lincoln took his power to the extreme. For example, after the Montana War, the so-called "Lincoln Joke" even appeared.

Such as requiring a division on the front line to march fifty miles quickly to attack a dispensable high ground.

There's even a joke about the so-called "Lincoln Order."

Possible

Leitch responded with a complicated expression:
"Yes, we are only responsible for fighting, not the consequences!!"

Art was silent, but he did not refute. After all, this is the fate of professional soldiers.

Their choices will always be in the hands of the big shots, and they are also pawns in the eyes of those who give orders.

The difference is that they are more useful.
