Marshall agreed very simply, but the actual execution was extremely hard because he didn't know how to fight this battle.

Helplessly, he summoned everyone he could find. Army Secretary Henry Stinson personally suppressed the formation and gathered the stars. Of course, there was also a large group of generals who were confronting the Zhu family army on the Nevada front. However, almost all the people from the east were here, including Hugh Drum of the First Army, with his deputy Major General Omar Bradley and others, and some of them were temporarily idle due to the defeat in the Pacific War, such as George Patton.

Of course, Eisenhower, a guy who never took the lead, got promoted to brigade general as he wished, and as the newly established director of the Operational Planning Department, he participated in this crucial meeting.

The meeting was not held at the Army General Command, which had become the key target of attack. They were in the underground fortress not far from the White House, and under heavy protection, they had difficulty gathering together.

Thanks to the high-power central air conditioning system produced in China, the fortresses deep into the underground is not particularly stuffy. The air flow is smooth, the buzzing sound of the ventilation fan and the unique sound of the fluorescent tube have become mainstream. The other telegram transmissions and telephone calls have also been deliberately suppressed by the staff. No one wants to touch the generals' bad luck at this time!

Minister Shi Dingsheng came to be the Bodhisattva in charge. The specific situation was naturally stated by Chief of Staff Marshall, whom the President trusted very much. But in fact, there was nothing to say. Marshall briefly explained it and said frankly: "Generals, gentlemen. The matter is in front of us. If we cannot stop the Chinese attacks from the air, then there is only one way to destroy them from the land! Otherwise, the United States will have big trouble! We will also have big trouble!"

Everyone knows how terrible threats the United States will face once it goes bankrupt or becomes a defeated country. Not to mention whether the Chinese will settle the accounts after the fall, peel off the skin and cramps, just the covetous Hitler Germany must take advantage of the situation.

This is very depressing. The powerful United States has the largest industrial scale and productivity in the world, the most balanced social structure and the most convenient mobilization ability. No matter how you calculate it, it should not be a loser! After all, it was the navy's carelessness first, and suddenly lost the West Coast, causing the enemy to land later, and accumulated, leading to today's full passiveness.

Of course, the deeper reason is that no one can say. On the surface, the real controllers of the federal state are consortiums and bankers. They are profit-oriented and do not care about any country or country. The interests are always first, objectively, and they are dragging their backs.

How to fight the war? Everyone frowned, smoking. In short, no one spoke.

The situation is obvious. For half a year, the Chinese have only been defending the main defense, fully air combat, and the ground forces have been flexibly attacking, which has blocked everyone from the periphery. If they want to rush to the target California, they must overcome the desolate Nevada and Arizona. Whether the Air Force or the Army, they must face the difficulties of long distances. The terrain has provided great convenience for the defense of the west.

Look at how no one is willing to express his opinion. Marshall pointed to Eisenhower, who is not young but has a low rank: "Dwight! In recent times, you have been responsible for the intelligence analysis and combat plan of the enemy on the front-line battlefield. If you have any good suggestions, please report it!"

Brigadier Eisenhower took a deep breath and was not pushed to the front desk. He felt depressed or nervous. On the contrary, deep down, he had the desire to seize the precious opportunity and show his talents to the fullest, so as to the same class, such as Bradley, George Patton, etc., now at least major general, and guys who are preparing to be promoted to lieutenant general, have a gap between them again!

He opened a clip with him, and there was a thick piece of information inside. It seemed that he was ready. He quickly browsed the title of the homepage. He raised his head and swept over a bunch of shining stars and his eyes, and said calmly: "My opinion is that the best thing is to negotiate a ceasefire with the Chinese."

Without waiting for others to make a fuss or say the words of accusation of him--although Eisenhower immediately followed: "Of course we all know that it is unlikely to make a decision. Then, for enemies who have already landed on our territory, an unconventional and resolute strike strategy should be adopted!"

"What a resolute method? Do you think that our previous battles were all playing games? Brigadier General, please be aware! The young men from the Army and the Air Force have paid a huge price in the past six months! The blood they shed can dye the Nevada desert red! "

An old general pointed out his wrong argument very sharply. What a joke, it's like slapping the front-line generals in the face!

Marshall was a little confused. According to his understanding, Eisenhower is a very steady guy. He rarely offends others. He is versatile and serious in his work, and has a good reputation. Why did he change today?

However, the talents he values ​​will not be easily overwhelmed by others. He raised his hand to stop others' questioning and looked at Eisenhower: "Dwight, keep talking!"

This has shown his supportive attitude. Although the veterans were unhappy, they couldn't directly refute his face, and stared at the brigade general with gloomy eyes.

Eisenhower seemed to be unaffected, with a calm and clear mouth: "We have always hoped to use uninterrupted air-to-ground attacks to drag down the defense of the Chinese. But it turns out that they are not too bad in terms of human resources and weapon preparation. And because of their advantage in equipment, the loss ratio is much smaller. Although we have gained valuable time for us to form and train a large number of troops, they have also gained a firm foothold. Overall, our strategy does not have an advantage."

It was a little tactful, but the generals all heard it. This guy didn't agree with his previous combat plan!

Think about it, he was right. China has the largest population and the widest soldiers. You can play a war of attrition with them, the manpower can keep up with the number of planes, and everyone can exchange it for 5 or even 10. No matter how rich the United States is, it is limited.

This does not include. During the battle, because of the existence of Chinese missile troops and fast attack aircraft, they can reach bases, airports, and military camps along the front line, and they have to face bombing and destruction at any time. No matter how developed the American machinery is, it takes time for you to repair it, right? Not to mention, the Zhu family army's insults and damages are everywhere after the bombing. It is a lifelong life to eliminate these things!

Efficiency, in the final analysis, the US military has not performed much efficiency in the past six months of war! No matter how frequent the attendance rate is, it cannot erase the impact of this aspect.

The generals didn't speak much anymore. This is a well-known thing!

Eisenhower straightened his back, his eyes flashed with wisdom: "Now, our aircraft research and development and manufacturing have reached a higher level, which should greatly widen the gap with the Chinese. In terms of the army, our new tanks and armored vehicles have also been put into use in batches. Overall, the army's attack capabilities have been greatly improved! The most important thing is that the number of troops that can be used is greatly improved than before. Therefore, I think that this number of advantages should be fully utilized and an unprecedented all-round offensive operation should be launched!"

"Attack in all directions? Have you ever thought about how to avoid being killed by the damn super bombs of the Chinese guys? Their power is too great, and the means of release are hard to defend against! Are you planning to let us send it out one by one for them to bomb?"

These words almost express everyone's voice.

Zhu Bin's super bomb and shock wave bomb are so scary!

It would be fine if there were fewer ones. This guy could only make dozens of them once he released them, which made it impossible to figure out how much he had created! One could destroy the terrible power of a small city. If groups of troops attacked, it would be like delivering vegetables!

"Of course not!"

Eisenhower shook his head calmly: "We must learn the jungle and mountain combat ideas of the Far East Army, completely separate the previous large-scale attack army, adopt the action strategy of hiding day and going out at night, and advance from the vast battlefield to the main defense core area of ​​the enemy. Finally, we will continue to fight the enemy continuously, firmly stick to their main ground forces, mix the enemy and us, and lose their air and special strike capabilities!"

The Brigadier General was very smart. He knew that many of the things he raised were easy to cause controversy and did not waste time. He took out a piece of camouflage fabric from the clip and a bunch of photos on the table for everyone to see. At the same time, he explained: "We have been inspired by the Chinese camouflage uniforms and developed a camouflage cloth specially used for the Western Theater Command! According to experiments, military uniforms, tents and camouflage cloth made of this fabric can greatly reduce the probability of air reconnaissance discovery!"

The colorful and fancy camouflage made the generals widen their eyes.

They are familiar with camouflage uniforms. All Chinese troops have changed into this thing, but the specific technology is kept confidential. They only get some samples from previous allies, but unfortunately, for a long time, the researchers could not even analyze the encoding strategies and dye data used in it.

What Eisenhower provides is undoubtedly a good thing at the timely rain level, and immediately makes everyone forget to criticize him.

Seeing everyone's reaction, the Brigadier General smiled secretly and continued: "We used a small force to move in dispersed ways, relying on camouflage disguise, flooded across the periphery of Nevada like a flood, and pushed forward. As long as the air strike density was enough to hold back all their ground-based reconnaissance attack forces, after a period of time, we would have countless troops pressed into their formation!"

"very good!"

Marshall took the lead in applause. The generals were stunned for a moment, and slapped reluctantly. However, some people still raised objections: "Dwight, are you sure our soldiers can cross the desolate area of ​​three hundred miles in lightweight state and reach the enemy's defense line? I don't think this is a good idea!"

After all, the physical strength of infantry is limited. To achieve suddenness, the number of mechanized transportation must be reduced. It is a desperate thing to think about it!

Eisenhower was prepared and drew two circles in Jovona Mountain in northern Nevada and Xiao Shawnee Mountain in central Nevada: "We don't need to be in one step. The first strategic goal is to move the troops to these two areas! There are two vast mountainous areas of more than 10,000 square kilometers, which is enough for us to ensure that the troops from 300,000 to 500,000 temporary supply! Then, the other troops will be the second tier from the rear. When the battle begins, they will move here in the same way. I believe that at only a distance of more than 100 miles, we have the ability to send people continuously!"

"But in this way, the first wave of attacks will inevitably bear great pressure!"

Those present have experienced how strong the Chinese are. A few troops go up. That is to deliver vegetables! Once the second wave is not supported, or it simply becomes a tactic of adding fuel, that is sad!

Eisenhower showed his rare sharpness: "We have no other choice! If we cannot drive the Chinese away as soon as possible, the consequences will definitely be clearer than me! This time, it will be an unprecedented bloody battle! We must be mentally prepared for the worst!"

That means an unprecedented huge sacrifice!

The generals were silent for a moment because they could not determine how much casualties the United States could bear. Should it really stain Nevada with blood? Or, like the participating countries in World War I, they would lose millions of people! God, will the people rebel?

Chief of Staff Marshall looked around and no one seemed to object. Qiangang was arbitrary: "I support Dwight's plan! We don't have any time to hesitate until there is a better proposal! Gentlemen, vote!"

The Democratic Party is fully developed! Minister Shi Dingsheng is pressing the army, and there is no room for human rebellion. He hesitated for a while, and thought that the sky fell. There is a tall man holding his arms up, and more than a dozen arms are raised high.

After passing, it is the intense execution!

However, there was also an accident. George Patton, who was idle, stood up and took the initiative to lead the rebuilt Second Armored Division as the commander of the first wave of offensive forces, to be the vanguard of the Seventh Army, and to launch a frog jump offensive strategy.

This is the United States. If it were other countries, they were captured and captured and lost a whole heavy armored division. It would be considered kind if they were not ordered to retire. But Patton still retained his military rank and status. Marshall really couldn't bear to waste this precious talent. At this time, he could take the initiative to take the initiative. After thinking about it, the Chief of Staff agreed.

As a result, Major General Bradley, who was involved in the First Army in the East, also expressed his opinion that he would go to the front line to fight: "I don't want to read those boring reports all day in New York. General, I want to participate in the battle myself. This is my ideal since I joined the army!"

Marshall also agreed. When it comes to the battle of life and death in the United States, he hopes that all the talents he is optimistic about will shine!

The front line of Nevada battlefield soon welcomed a group of new commanders, new equipment and tactics.

In the six-month consecutive battle, the US Army has basically trained a batch and sent it up after it is equipped. Now, around three sides of a state, the main force is more than 500,000! In the few states behind them, Utah, Montana, New Mexico, and Wyoming, a large number of advance bases are filled with countless troops and mechanized weapon units.

Once the American industrial machinery is started, countless steel becomes weapons, and the speed is really terrible! On the contrary, the recruitment and training of soldiers has dragged down. In the past six months, it has only made up all the troops lost before, and in addition, it is to form more troops. It can be said that from top to bottom, Yishui'er's new recruits are responsible for the responsibility!

A large number of camouflage uniforms, camouflage cloths, tents, etc., which can disguise people, weapons and vehicles, and are not exposed at all, rushed to the front within a few days. Salt Lake City, one of the core transit stations, became the focus of the focus.

In just a few days, Eisenhower's jumping frog scattered offensive tactic was officially implemented. The first batch of 200,000 infantrymen were either on cars, driving tanks and chariots, and even riding bicycles and motorcycles. In short, they showed their magical powers, carrying water and food for at least three days. Taking advantage of the night, ants scattered into the depths of Nevada, which was about to become ruins, and headed straight to the target!

This is really a cruel and dangerous march! It cannot be mechanized on a large scale, and it is very separate from each other. There are also places without roads. Once the food is consumed, you must find an airdrop supply, otherwise it may cause life.

The entire plan is very large and involves a wide range of issues, requiring coordination between land and air. On the one hand, large-scale air attacks attract the main attention, and at the same time, fishing for troubled waters, a large amount of materials will be airdropped to the calibrated midway supply point in advance.

Secondly, there must be a unit equipped with strong air defense forces to be regular close proximity, attract the attention of the enemy and cause misjudgment. The real attack power must be dispersed and hiding as much as possible. This is really not easy!

At present, the Zhu family's front line on the West Coast is mainly concentrated in three focus points: Carson, Las Vegas and Phoenix, but it is not passively defending, but the Air Force has gone forward and over half of the game and almost hit Salt Lake City to intercept and strike. The ground forces always have a small number of special forces active in the central mountainous areas and everywhere, constantly searching and reconnaissance. Once a large number of enemy forces are found, they will immediately summon air or long-range artillery fire strikes.

Such flexible tactics delayed the US military for half a year. This time, Eisenhower's adaptation to local conditions, I wonder if it can really solve this problem and successfully reverse it?

No one could make a judgment in advance, and even Eisenhower himself was not 100% sure. But at least he was much better than the others, at least, he could find a feasible way!
