On the north bank of the Santa Ana River, all seven infantry divisions of the US military in the Santa Monica area have gathered here... However, they were helpless in the defense line of the 1st Division of the Imperial Marines on the south bank of the Santa Ana River. Previously, the US military launched a tentative attack, but suffered heavy losses. The entire river was covered with American corpses, and even the river water was dyed red.

Because the bridge was blown up, the US military could only choose a shallower place to cross the river. This is often the place where the Imperial Army focused on its defense. The powerful firepower formed by mortars and heavy machine guns made it impossible for the US military to break through at all, and their attack was more like a death sentence.

"General Anderson, it's not possible to continue like this! The Chinese firepower is too strong, and we can't break through. They actually deployed hundreds of artillery and heavy machine guns on the south bank of the Santa Ana River, and our infantry divisions combined are just a few artillery and heavy machine guns. There is no way to fight this battle!" His infantry division suffered heavy losses in the previous attack, and the entire division lost more than 3,000 people.

"Yes! General. The Chinese occupy the favorable terrain, and it may be difficult for us to break through their defense." Another major general also said.

"I know that the Chinese have very strong firepower. We will pay a heavy price to break through the Santa Ana River. But, besides this, do we have any other ways? In Riverside, the Chinese are besieging our troops. If we do not break through the Chinese encirclement in time, our main force will be eaten. After losing 10 infantry divisions, plus the 24th Infantry Division that had been lost before the reinforcements arrived, we could not compete with the Chinese people at all!" He originally thought that with his troops, even if the Chinese army landed in North America could not be defeated, at least they could withstand the attack of the Chinese army. However, the powerful combat power of the Chinese army far exceeded his expectations. A battle caused them to lose more than 100,000 people. There was no way to continue this battle!

The other generals all lowered their heads, not knowing what to say.

"Everyone. The Chinese are very powerful, but we have no choice. Only by defeating them can we defend the interests of the United States. Otherwise, we will lose more. As an American soldier, this is our responsibility. Let's go back and prepare for it. Twenty minutes later, launch a new round of attacks!"

"Yes, general!" the other generals replied one after another.

At this time, a communication officer quickly walked into the temporary command center, his face looking a little ugly, and then lowered his head and said nothing.

.Opened it and looked at it. But in an instant, his face turned ashen.

"Bastard, the attack is cancelled, and the troops are ready to retreat and retreat to the north!".

This order made the US generals a little puzzled. Didn’t it mean that they would prepare for a new round of attacks in twenty minutes? Why did they suddenly cancel the attack and retreat? Could it be that the US troops in Riverside don’t need to rescue them?

Then,.

"The army stationed in Riverside suffered heavy losses. The remaining tens of thousands of people have surrendered to the Chinese army because they can't hold on anymore! There is no need for us to stay here again!"

This result made all the generals of the US military take a breath. In just a few days, ten infantry divisions of the US military were surrounded and annihilated by the Chinese army, which was really beyond their expectations. Originally, they thought that even though the US military's combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of the Chinese army, they could barely compete with the Chinese army with their superior strength. But the facts show that they were so outrageous.

Soon, the US military began to retreat. The speed of the various infantry divisions retreated was much more active than when they attacked before. In their opinion, the Chinese army could easily encircle and annihilate more than 100,000 American troops in Riverside. If they turned around and attacked them, they would not be able to resist it. Therefore, the US military retreated north overnight and fled very quickly.

The 1st Brigade of the Imperial Marine Corps also paid a lot of losses to defend the defense line on the south bank of the Santa Ana River, and the entire brigade lost thousands of people. Of course, the results they achieved were much greater than this. What's more, they had completed the mission by intercepting the US military north of the Santa Ana River, which created a favorable opportunity for the Army's 13th Infantry Army and the 28th Infantry Army to encircle and annihilate the main force of the US military.

After destroying the US army of Riverside, the Imperial Army crossed the Santa Ana River on October 4 and attacked northward. However, at this time, the US army had retreated, and the Imperial Army was not blocked at all along the way.

After the news that the US military lost 10 infantry divisions in Riverside was passed back to Washington, the senior officials of the US government's cabinet were very nervous. The war had just begun, and the US military had lost more than 100,000 people. If this continues, even if the total U.S. military's total military force is expanded to 1.5 million, it is probably not going to be able to withstand the losses of several major wars. What's more, this is just facing the Chinese army, and there are two countries that have declared war on the United States and have not sent troops to attack the United States! At that time, the U.S. military's strength will be even more tense.

,, we must find a way to defend the defense line and stabilize the battle situation on the West Coast. Reinforcements will soon arrive on the West Coast!

However, the development of the war situation was not as expected by senior officials of the US government. Not only did it not stabilize, but it deteriorated more and more.

In order to block the attack of the Imperial Army, a defense line was built in the southern part of San Francisco to block the attack of the Chinese army. Originally, the US military had a total of 300,000 troops and 25 infantry divisions on the west coast. However, in the previous battles, the US military had lost 11 infantry divisions, and several infantry divisions were severely damaged, with only 130,000 troops left. This made the gap between the two sides extremely narrow, and it was increasingly difficult for the US military to resist the attack of the Chinese army.

On October 16, 1847, the 13th Infantry Army and the 28th Infantry Army confronted the main force of the US military in Fresno. The two sides gathered nearly 200,000 troops here.

*The army's attack, the US military's 200,000 reinforcements have arrived in California, and in a short time, they will be able to join the battlefield...

However, it was at this time that the accident that changed the situation of the war happened again.

On the afternoon of October 16, 1847, the Imperial Navy covered the Imperial Army's 19th Infantry Army and the 3rd Marine Brigade and landed in San Francisco. At this time, the US troops defending San Francisco had only one infantry division and the rest of the troops,.

The 1st Fleet of the Imperial Navy used three "East Zhou-class" warships and two "Western Zhou-class" warships to provide landing cover for the Imperial Army. Although the US military built a series of solid defensive positions on the coast of San Francisco, these defensive positions could not resist the fierce artillery fire of the Imperial Navy and were easily destroyed.

Subsequently, the 3rd Brigade of the Imperial Marine Corps landed. After a brief resistance, the US military was defeated. The 3rd Brigade of the Imperial Marine Corps was able to successfully establish a beachhead position.

In the afternoon of the same day, the 3rd Brigade of the Imperial Marine Corps and landed army units invaded the city of San Francisco. The 21st Infantry Division, which was stationed here, had to choose to retreat due to heavy losses.

It was also at this time that we learned that San Francisco had fallen. This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the US military. San Francisco was not only the location of the US military's command, but also the largest storage place for war materials deployed by the US military on the West Coast. The fall of San Francisco directly put the US military at the point of being out of ammunition and food.

At this time, the * army attacked, and while ordering the troops to retreat, he sent a telegram to Washington. It was obvious that the entire battle situation on the west coast of North America would deteriorate drastically and become a mess.

The retreat of the US military attracted the attention of the Imperial Army, which was confronting the US military. As soon as the US military retreated, the Imperial Army took the opportunity to pursue it. However, they did not play much role at all. They gave up their positions and fled.

This directly caused the US military to suffer heavy losses during the retreat. More than 100,000 US troops finally escaped, less than 40,000 people. Most of the rest were captured by the Imperial Army, and the entire west coast of North America could no longer fall into the control of the Imperial Army.
