During the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, Yuuhoshi Ito, commander of the Japanese Joint Fleet, commander of the Japanese Fleet, to severely damage the Beiyang Fleet in Dadonggou, Huanghai. After the Beiyang Fleet withdrew from Weihai Guard, the Beiyang Navy Admiral Ding Ruchang was dismissed. Under Li Hongzhang's harsh request, the Beiyang Fleet retreated in the Weihai Guard Port and carried out the order to protect the ship and avoid the enemy.

At that time, the Weihaiwei was the second largest military port of the Qing Dynasty after Lushun. It had hundreds of advanced Krupp steel cannons with powerful firepower. It was not an exaggeration to claim that it was solid. Seeing that the Weihaiwei was difficult to capture, Japan sent its army to land in Rongcheng, Shandong. Although it was stubbornly resisted by Sun Wanling in the Baima River area, the first marshal of the Japanese Army, Dashan Iron was still unstoppable and attacked the rear of the Weihaiwei.

The artillery on the Weihai Guard was successively lost under the fierce attack of the Japanese Army. Subsequently, the First Japanese Army used the artillery in the Weihai Guard port and the Japanese Joint Fleet to wipe out the Beiyang Fleet under water and land attack.

The situation today is so similar to the war that took place in Weihai Guard many years ago. The US North Atlantic Fleet closed the port to avoid war. The Chinese Pacific Fleet came in full force, surrounding San Francisco with no way. In analogy, the US North Atlantic Fleet at this time was the Beiyang Fleet at that time, and the Chinese Pacific Fleet at this time was the Japanese Combined Fleet at that time.

When Roosevelt thought of this, his strong heart twitched violently. He did not expect that Tang Jian would use the tactic of the Japanese Joint Fleet to completely wipe out the Beiyang Fleet to deal with him. The tactic of that year was still very effective. The destruction of the Beiyang Fleet was the best proof.

In order to build San Francisco into an unbreakable steel city in the shortest time, Roosevelt drew more than 20,000 American soldiers from San Francisco to San Francisco for defense. Salinas originally had 5,000 American troops, but for the safety of the Central American North Atlantic Fleet in San Francisco Port, Roosevelt drew nearly half of the troops from Salinas, a small town with not enough troops to support San Francisco.

However, Roosevelt never expected that Tang Jian in the waters outside San Francisco Port would spend such a lot of money to lead the main force of the Chinese Pacific Fleet, the air force and submarine forces, to siege San Francisco with such a powerful formation, but it was just a feint.

This feint attack is too much like the main attack! Even Roosevelt, who was looking at it, took a look away. He quickly transferred all the troops that could be mobilized near San Francisco to San Francisco. The place was naturally empty. Now, Salinas, a small town on the west coast of the United States, has become the final landing location chosen by Tang Jian to attack San Francisco from land to land.

I don’t know if the three thousand defenders in Salinas City could hold on until the reinforcements in San Francisco arrived. Roosevelt sighed slightly in his heart. For the first time in fighting wits and courage with Tang Jian, Roosevelt felt exhausted physically and mentally. This was exhausted by Tang Jian’s endless tactics.

Roosevelt even felt that this extremely powerful Tang Jian seemed not from this world. God knew where he came from. During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Tang Jian seemed to have appeared on the stage of history as if he had emerged from nowhere.

Roosevelt also investigated Tang Jian's identity and knew that Tang Jian was just the only son of an ordinary general of the Qing Dynasty. Before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, he had always been a playboy. Even if he studied in the UK, he had no achievements in the UK at all. He was completely a waste of time and was just a mediocre playboy.

Unexpectedly, in the winter of 1895, a genius military strategist and politician suddenly appeared during the Sino-Japanese War of 1895. Until now, Roosevelt, who had investigated Tang Jian's identity, was really puzzled. How did these disparate identities suddenly change in Tang Jian.

A bomb shell landed near the frontier command where Roosevelt was again. Although Salinas had an enemy situation at this time, the main attack strength of the Chinese Pacific Fleet did not weaken at all. Instead, it became more and more courageous as it fought.

There is also the Chinese aircraft that are constantly hovering in the air. Even under the powerful anti-aircraft firepower, these Chinese aircraft just hide cunningly at a safe height and throw down a few bombs from time to time. They are not the kind of desperate fighting style, they are all based on harassment and do not directly confront the anti-aircraft artillery in San Francisco.

When Roosevelt saw this, he knew what Tang Jian was thinking. The current offensive of the Chinese Pacific Fleet was not mainly focused on capturing San Francisco, but rather put huge psychological pressure on the US defenders in San Francisco and attracted most of the troops in San Francisco. Even if the Chinese Pacific Fleet was not able to capture Hawaii at this time, the Chinese Pacific Fleet did not want the US military to have any rest or relax.

Under such an attack, Roosevelt could not send more reinforcements to Salinas to rush to the three thousand defenders. Now the United States and China are in a wonderful balance in San Francisco, attacking and defending each other, but no one can do anything to each other. China will not relax. Once relaxed, Roosevelt will have to air conditioner to send more reinforcements to Salinas, and the Chinese army preparing to be in Salinas will be in danger.

Once Roosevelt relaxes his defense line, with the strength of the Chinese Pacific Fleet at this time, he is likely to take advantage of the situation. Therefore, the two sides can only bombard the shells on the sea like no money, and it will last for a long time.

Small town of Salinas on the west coast of the United States.

Colonel Morse was originally ordered to lead 5,000 US Army soldiers to guard Salinas. A few days ago, US Secretary of Defense Roosevelt sent an order saying that the Chinese Pacific Fleet would attack San Francisco soon and San Francisco would strengthen its defense. Therefore, Roosevelt ordered nearby US generals to send some troops to San Francisco to support.

Colonel Mos couldn't draw out more troops, so he had to split two thousand soldiers and led them to San Francisco to support him, leaving only three thousand soldiers to stay in Salinas City.

Colonel Mos is 38 years old this year. He was promoted to colonel last year and became the commander-in-chief of the small town of Salinas. At this time, he was holding a telescope and quietly observing the movements on the sea. A self-deprecating smile was always on his bearded face.

I originally thought that as an inconspicuous small town, I had always believed that even if San Francisco fought fiercely, it would probably not affect this quiet small town, so I would have distributed nearly half of my troops to help San Francisco. However, what I didn't expect was that this action made the current situation extremely difficult.

At this time, the sea was densely docked with Chinese warships and troop transport ships. Looking up, they almost filled all the sea areas in front of them. The Chinese Pacific Fleet squadron composed of a fearless-class battleship was enough to give Mos a pot of drink.

As a small city on the west coast of the United States, the firepower on the Salinas shore defense position is naturally not much stronger. Although the Chinese squadron on the sea is just a small fleet, compared with the artillery on the Salinas shore defense position, the firepower of this Chinese squadron is extremely powerful.

And behind the Chinese squadron, the more than 30 huge troop transport ships, just looking at them makes people feel chill suddenly. According to the size of the troop transport ship, a troop transport ship can carry at least 400 Chinese soldiers, and the more than 30 are more than 10,000 troops (that's right.

The US defenders of Salinas are more than three times more powerful than the US military! It is more than enough to attack Salinas. In addition to the Chinese fleet, the victory or defeat of this war has been clearly understood before it even began.

Colonel Mos touched the cross on his chest, and his heart was surging. In just a moment, he no longer had fear and timidity. Instead, his eyes were filled with strong fighting spirit!

Not long ago, Roosevelt personally sent a telegram, asking Colonel Mos to stick to Salinas City, because at this time, San Francisco was surrounded by the Chinese Pacific Fleet. Although China's air force planes flew over and bombed from time to time, San Francisco was still as solid as a god and showed no signs of defeat.

So China changed its tactics and prepared to land elsewhere. It used the cooperation between the Army and the Chinese Navy to launch a land and land attack on San Francisco. The landing location chosen by China was Salinas, so Salinas became the key to the San Francisco battle.

Once Salinas is lost, the Chinese Army will head north. From the rear of San Francisco and on the sea to cooperate with the siege of San Francisco, San Francisco will definitely be in danger.

If Salisas can survive this level, the supply of the China Pacific Fleet will not be able to keep up with it over time, and then the China Pacific will retreat without fighting.

In the telegram, Roosevelt specifically instructed Colonel Morse that the survival of San Francisco would be the future fate of the United States in the small town of Salinas. Colonel Morse defended Salinas with three thousand soldiers for two days, and the 20,000 reinforcements from the place would rescue him.

As an ordinary middle-level officer in a small town, Colonel Mos has never been so respected. He originally thought that his military career would end in Salinas. After all, he has been here for more than ten years. From a private to the current supreme commander of Salinas, he chose to retire after a few years. He was just an unknown colonel.

However, ordinary destiny will be rewritten today and will become a major figure that will affect the future destiny of the United States. The sudden change in identity makes me feel extremely excited. No matter what the outcome of this battle will definitely leave a strong mark in the history of the United States!

Colonel Moss has secretly decided that even if the entire army is wiped out, he will hold on to Salinas!

At this time, smoke and clouds rose above the Chinese Pacific Fleet on the distant sea. This was the slowly changing formation of the Chinese Pacific Fleet. Colonel Moss' pupils shrank a little, and it was an attack formation!

The Chinese Pacific Fleet finally started an attack two hours after appearing on the sea surface of Salinas City!

Colonel Mos put his hands on his hips, with a solemn expression, and said passionately to the three thousand American soldiers behind him: Today, the soldiers of the great United States of America will be the time when their reputation is left in history. Today, their enemies are extremely powerful, but timidity will never appear in their hearts. I will never forget that they are soldiers of the great United States of America. More than a hundred years ago, they were able to defeat the powerful Britain, and more than a hundred years later, they can still defeat the arrogant China! Let these yellow people who dare to invade their territory pay the price of bleeding!

Colonel Mos looked down on everyone and shouted: For the sake of the United States, for democracy and peace, are you willing to go to the battlefield and die generously? (It is particularly impressive to read in English)

Willing! Willing!

Then let you prove it with your own practical actions! Colonel Mos immediately jumped off and entered his own battle position.

Three thousand American soldiers also rushed to their own positions. Not long after, before the Chinese Pacific Fleet squadron launched an attack, the fort on the Salinas coastal defense position erupted an angry tongue of flames at the command of Colonel Mos, and took the lead in launching an attack.

This time, the naval general who led the Chinese Pacific Fleet was Lu Wenjing, who had shown his strength in the naval battle with the Russian Pacific Fleet. Lu Wenjing saw bright artillery fire burst out from the shore defense position of Salinas in the distance, and snorted coldly: Overestimate one's ability!

In the bridge command room, another important figure, the elite unit second only to the Lone Wolf Special Forces in the Chinese army\u2014\u2014 Marine Corps Commander Zhu Lianjie was looking at the shore defense position in Salinas City with interest.

General Lu, how long will it take to completely destroy the forts and fortifications on the shore? Zhu Lianjie asked.

Lu Wenjing smiled and said: At most no more than an hour, you will definitely be able to destroy our shore defense fortifications. Then your Marine Corps will be able to land!

Zhu Lianjie nodded, thinking to himself that the president's arrangement to come here did not take too much time on this little Salinas. This time, the army must attack the rear of San Francisco in the shortest time, completely conquered San Francisco, and destroy the last bit of maritime power of the United States.

In fact, in the last Midway Battle, the Chinese Pacific Fleet was seriously damaged and the shells were consumed. Now it covers its landing in Salinas, so it needs to drag the San Francisco defenders with maximum firepower on the sea surface of San Francisco. With such a large amount of consumption, China's maritime supplies have already vaguely failed to keep up. Therefore, this time, it will be a quick battle to reduce the huge pressure on the president in San Francisco.

With the order of Lu Wenjing, the squadron of the Chinese Pacific Fleet began to launch violent shelling of the Salinas shore defense position. After a round of volleys, the Salinas shore defense position suddenly fell into a large area of ​​fire.
