"Read the newspaper! Read the newspaper! The fleets of Germany, Russia, China and the West have arrived in Boston. The mayor of Boston has spent 50 million dollars to retreat from the enemy!" On the streets of San Francisco in the early morning, the cries of newsboys intensified the panic of the fleeing crowd. The mayor has already issued an order.
Following the order to evacuate, countless Americans are helping the elderly and children drive cars and horse-drawn carriages to evacuate the peninsula southward with huge packages on their backs. National Guardsmen with live ammunition are protecting them along the way to prevent large-scale theft and robbery.
The entire city is being evacuated, except for Chinatown in the northeast corner. In this rather closed neighborhood, there are countless Chinese and other Asian immigrants who have taken refuge here. They are standing on the street or on rooftops, looking at the white people with some schadenfreude.
Looking down and out.
It can be said that these people never dreamed that today would happen. When they sailed across the sea on a slave ship and built the Pacific Railway with bones under the whip of the overseer, who would have thought that they would become this land?
The owner?
Situ Meitang looked at the sea with emotion. He originally worked as a cook on a U.S. Navy ship, but it happened to be caught up in the Spanish-American War. Because he didn't want to lose his life to the Americans, he quit his job and joined the Anti-Japanese War in Texas.
Brela Company was later sent here to serve as the security manager of Chen Fang's Hawaiian Sugar Industry. Because of Hongmen's identity and the nearly a hundred armed mercenaries at his disposal, he is now considered to be a big boss in the court.
"Brother Peng, should we arm everyone and cooperate with the army to take down the San Francisco Fortress. Those coastal defense guns are difficult to deal with from the sea, but it is much easier to deal with from behind." He whispered to the side.
Peng Qingyun, the company's branch manager in San Francisco, said that JY Company has enough weapons to arm tens of thousands of people in its warehouse, and these are all secretly transported by car from Texas. Just think about it and you will know that today is the day.
"We don't need to do this kind of risky work. Someone will be cannon fodder for us." Peng Qingyun said with a mysterious smile.
Just as he was saying this, nearly a thousand Japanese immigrants in the Japanese ghetto in San Francisco were being armed with weapons sent by jy company. How miserable they have been in these years! Japanese immigrants have a higher status than black people in the United States.
They are still low, and can be said to belong to the mud class. People often starve to death every year. There is no way, Japan is a joke in the world now. There is no one to support them, so no one cares about their life and death. In addition, because of their poor health
Conditions are limited, and those business owners do not like to hire. In San Francisco, the salary of Japanese adult men is even lower than that of white female workers. Many people are hungry and cold and cannot even get a ticket home. As a result, there is even a
A melancholic poet. He is highly respected among his compatriots for his poems about his hometown.
The person leading this team now is the poet named Takano.
"Compatriots, today will be a glorious day. We will use the guns in our hands to win back our dignity and win back our honor. Our liberator is coming, the Chinese are coming, and that
The army of His Majesty the Great Emperor is coming. Look outside. Look at those white ghosts fleeing in a hurry. Their doom has come. From today on, everything they have is yours, their land and their houses.
,Their women are all yours!" Takano shouted, waving his pistol.
The Japanese cheered like crazy, and many even shed tears of excitement. They had been waiting for this day for so many years.
However, they forgot that the Japanese were also under surveillance. From the beginning of the Hawaii riots, the US government had discovered that Yang Feng began to use the Japanese as cannon fodder for him, while preventing the Chinese from participating in some atrocities, which caused some criticism internationally.
Lure these people specifically to do his dirty work, so when monitoring Chinatown, the Hawaii National Guard also sent hundreds of people to watch outside the Japanese settlement. The sudden cheers inside made Captain Clark, who led the team, immediately realize
When something went wrong, he immediately led his subordinates and rushed in.
As soon as they saw them coming, the two Japanese immigrants who were left on guard on the street quickly wanted to run to report the news to Takano. Behind them, Captain Clark shouted a few words. Seeing that they ran faster, he immediately gave the order without hesitation.
Open fire, and at the moment when the two men were knocked down by random gunshots, Takano and his men were also awakened.
The initial panic quickly calmed down because of the brand-new weapons in their hands. Because of Japan's perfect reserve and reserve system, many of these Japanese immigrants have received military training in the country. At this time, there is nothing to be afraid of with weapons in hand.
Takano waved his pistol and shouted boldly: "Warriors of the Yamato nation, fight!"
More than a thousand Japanese immediately screamed and rushed towards the direction where the gunshots were heard. A few minutes later, the two sides encountered each other on a narrow street. Without any hesitation, the two teams pulled the triggers at the same time. Such an environment was simply not possible.
You need to aim, and you don't need any command. It's all about quantity and speed. You can see people on both sides falling one after another in the chaotic sound of gunfire. It can almost be said that one life is exchanged for another.
The Japanese could play this style of play, but the American militiamen could not. The National Guardsmen, who were quickly frightened by the powerful firepower from the opposite side, irrationally chose to turn around and escape after Captain Clark was killed. As a result, they were killed by the Japanese.
They were used as targets, and even a few who surrendered were stabbed to death with bayonets.
The Japanese became even more crazy after seeing the blood. Not only them, more Japanese immigrants were tempted by the blood. They rushed out of their dirty and dark wooden houses like hungry wolves and picked up the rifles from the dead Americans.
As Takano rushed toward the San Francisco Fortress, even some half-grown children and old men joined in beating the Americans.
The sudden burst of gunfire startled Major General Richard in the headquarters. Although he was the commander of the West Coast Defense Command, he only had three poorly equipped third-line divisions under his command. They had just been formed last year.
There are very few machine guns or cannons. The only advantage is that there is a coastal defense artillery brigade.
Even though these three divisions and one brigade are stationed in Los Angeles and Seattle respectively, there is only one division in San Francisco and an artillery regiment at the San Francisco Fortress. There is also another division of the National Guard. The division is just a simple piece of two militia regiments.
, the total number of troops in San Francisco is less than 30,000, with this pitiful force, I feel guilty when I think of the powerful enemy we are about to face! Now, the external enemy has not arrived yet, and the internal enemy has attacked first, and the little guy is frightened.
It has to plop plop.
But no matter what, this group of enemies must be eliminated before the Chinese arrive, otherwise it will be troublesome to be attacked from both sides. After he woke up from the panic, he immediately transferred two regiments from the army that was defending on the coast to reinforce the city and the San Francisco Fortress.
But at this moment, a larger chaos occurred.
The gunshots that suddenly rang out behind them plunged the Americans who were fleeing the city into a panic of doomsday. With the Japanese coming out and their unscrupulous murder and arson, the originally orderly evacuation suddenly
It collapsed. There were cries and yells fighting for the road in the streets. Some people even started to fight. Those driving cars started to speed up regardless of the people outside. The frightened horses were gradually losing control. The one who maintained order
National Guard members and policemen of the regiment were exhausted in the crowd. Some criminals who found a good opportunity even took advantage of the chaos to attack the old, weak, women and children. There were more and more robberies, which aggravated the chaos. Some of the most recent
There was even a stampede in crowded areas.
Those National Guard members were all local, and their relatives were also among the people fleeing. Seeing this situation, they naturally had no interest in caring about others, and they all abandoned their duties and rushed to protect their relatives. Without their
Maintenance and evacuation turned into a complete disaster.
At this time, the Japanese had long forgotten their mission. The suppressed greed and hatred of these guys suddenly lost their gates and immediately began to surge towards the Americans. Especially after losing the protection of the National Guard, those Americans who fled
At this time, they were like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered in front of them. Thousands of Japanese viciously pounced on them, robbed, massacred, and even dragged white women to rape them on the street.
With them as an example, other inferior ethnic groups, such as Southeast Asian and Indian immigrants, especially black ghosts, have also begun to take action. Even a large number of Russian immigrants have joined the carnival. Although they are not inferior ethnic groups, they have an instinct for such things.
longing for it, but before the Chinese fleet arrived, San Francisco had already turned into a hell on earth. Thick smoke rose everywhere amidst the screams of Americans. Only Chinatown was left in the entire city. Some desperate Americans
People even took refuge there, and the Chinese who strictly guarded their homes welcomed them warmly.
The U.S. troops who were organizing defenses on the coast also became confused when they saw the situation behind them. Even the regular troops were actually overwhelmingly Californians. Many people were in San Francisco, watching their homes being destroyed.
Your relatives are being killed and your wife is being raped. It is a joke to expect them to stay in the trenches at this time!
As a newlywed major who lives in the local area abandoned his position with one of his battalions and rushed back to the city to rescue his newly married wife, despite orders, more and more U.S. soldiers began to abandon their duties and left their positions in groups.
They retreated without authorization and rushed to downtown San Francisco to protect their loved ones, and the entire coastal defense line completely collapsed.
And at this moment, on the distant sea, the long-awaited huge fleet finally appeared. (To be continued...)
