There are a total of five army groups in East China, as well as the Marine Corps, plus some special forces and independent armies and divisions. This time there are mainly three army groups participating in the offensive. They attacked Manzanillo, Kevalian and Matassas, as soon as he came up, launched a fierce attack on these three places, which made Citigroup startled and did not react at all.

Originally, they thought this was just a trick of the people of the Qing Dynasty. Wade was just letting them disperse their forces to find a point to break through, but the opponent obviously did not play the card according to the routine, but was very confident at the same time. Offensive, although Jerry has ordered to strengthen the defenses of various places to increase vigilance, it is obvious that the preparations are insufficient, and even the Manzanillo, who has strengthened the defense, seems weak in the face of a strong offense.

Both the aerial bombers and the powerful naval guns on the water caused heavy casualties to them, and it would be very difficult for them to support them because of the destruction of the communication lines by the bombers.

The reality is fundamentally different from what they imagined. The three landing points did not cause too much trouble for the landing forces on the Qing side. Their Marines succeeded in gaining a foothold on the beach, while Citigroup No one wanted to take back the position. After all, countless cases had told them that doing so was nothing more than giving the other party a head. It would have no effect at all.

"Your Excellency Commander, the Qing people really launched a full-scale offensive. They dare to do so, aren't they afraid of being defeated by us?" A staff officer in the headquarters complained, but the quadrants for defeat did not exist. The opponent easily broke their defense in the coastal area. To say that they were defeated by each, not the opponent.

"Damn monkeys, do they want to devote all their troops to the attack on Cuba? This completely ignores us and confirms that we do not have the strength to launch a counterattack." Jerry was also frustrated. Roaring, it was obvious that the other party would not give up if they didn't take them down, and the pressure to face next can be imagined.Huomiexsw.com www.huomiexsw.com

"Commander, this time the Qing people have invested a lot of sea and air forces, and every landing point should be landing more than one group army or just one group army. In this way, the power we face It will be very powerful," said the data from the report of the staff union.

Hearing this, Jerry's face looked a little ugly. The Qing Dynasty had the least number of people in a group army of more than 200,000 people. If it were a regular main group army, it would be 300,000 people. The army's strength is at least 700,000 to 800,000. In terms of strength, the opponent is already in his own IQ, not to mention other aspects.How can they keep going.

"Commander, we can't take care of the southern and central regions now, and it is difficult to support them, but if Matanzas is easily occupied, it will be very dangerous. Matanzas is only more than fifty from Havana. Kilometers, once the army fell to the Qing Dynasty, it could go straight to the headquarters." A staff adviser suggested that it is obviously impossible to defend every place and resist the opponent’s attack. Can adopt key defensive strategies, concentrate troops to garrison, and the headquarters is the top priority.

Havana is the capital of the island of Cuba. Of course, it is now completely controlled by them. The local area is just a puppet and has no rights at all. Here, Citi has five divisions with a strength of about 30,000, plus armored troops. As well as solid defenses, it can be said that it is already a fortress city.

But today’s fortresses are completely different from those of decades ago. With the continuous updating of weapons, the role of fortresses on the defensive side has gradually faded. Even though large-caliber artillery and aerial bombs can play a certain role, But being destroyed is only a matter of time. If they only want to rely on these forces and want to defend the attack of more than one group army, it is obviously impossible.

Moreover, in order to prevent the Qing Dynasty from landing from the sea, their defense focus was also on the coastal areas. Relatively speaking, the defense in other directions on the land was relatively weak. However, the Qing Dynasty clearly saw this and had no choice. Landing from the sea in Havana, in order to reduce losses, choose to land from other cities, and then attack from the land, so they seem a little weak.

"In any case, let the ministries stand firm on their positions. In any case, they must not retreat. Order the war-free kings to assemble near Havana. We need to defend the last position here. We must not let the Qing people take this place easily. "Jerry nodded. He also knew the importance of Havana. If it is lost, the defense of the entire Cuba Island will collapse. Even if the army in other places is not eliminated, it will soon collapse. To make the best and worst plans to fight a decisive battle with the Qing people, even if it fails, it is surrender...
