Chapter 624 Smithburg
On the morning of September 4th.

Fort Smith.

Under a clear blue sky, the mournful sound of air raid sirens echoed.

The snow-covered ground was littered with mud pits left by explosions.

The once desolate town, which had just been upgraded to a steel fortress after half a year of emergency construction, was left in ruins by last night's bombing.

After the saturation attack by the NATO coalition ended.

The 1st advance team of the Japanese expeditionary force, armed with their own weapons, lay in ambush inside the steel-concrete defensive fortifications, quietly awaiting the NATO coalition forces that were about to charge up.

The fortification was pitch black, the air was murky, and only the individual display device on the soldier's wrist emitted a faint glow.

Outside the fortifications, the 54 105mm howitzers and 8 155mm howitzers of the 10th Mountain Division of North America began to roar in turn.

As the propellers cut through the air, several North American drones would occasionally emerge and crash into the steel-concrete bunkers outside the fortifications, producing loud bangs.

But this is just a detection after a saturation attack.

Similar to tapping a wall with your finger to see where there is a cavity.

If the data transmitted back by the North American drone before its self-destruction was not interfered with by the Japanese islands and was received by the North American information warfare forces.

Once a detected area is marked by the North American combat system, it will soon be attacked by bunker-buster missiles.

Then, all the dormant Japanese soldiers in that area were collectively captured.

Of course, the Japanese islands are not only vulnerable to attack but also capable of retaliating.

In the rear Great Slave Lake area, a series of highly anti-jamming missiles, trailing wires resembling fishing lines, flew swiftly and accurately toward North American howitzer positions and North American drone launch points.

It could either severely damage the target, be intercepted by the North American missile defense system, or become a dud due to a broken wire.

If.

The Gulf War, the Afghan War, and the Iraq War marked the beginning of modern warfare.

The African S1 and S2 seasons represent a period of adjustment in modern warfare.

The Mexican campaign, therefore, represents the pinnacle of modern warfare.

Having absorbed the experience of the aforementioned battles and personally experienced the Mexican-American War, the US and Japan are now using various new tools of war to push modern warfare to a higher level in order to achieve victory.

For example, the defensive fortifications on the Japanese islands were built using three types of building materials.

It is also called a honeycomb defense network. Each unit has 30 people and is equipped with an electromagnetic pulse shielding layer, a heat signal dispersion system, and a vibration buffer foundation.

For example, drones in North America are assembled using three-dimensional electric toothbrushes and electric adult toys.

It is also called an autonomous combat aircraft, equipped with an anti-snow electrostatic interference system, an anti-interception power unit, and an autonomous analysis and identification combat platform.

It can be said that either side, provided their logistics are in order, could easily defeat the current European and Russian teams.

Therefore, Europe and the Arctic, which used their respective AI to analyze the Theta constellation and witnessed the war through the Theta satellite, had little feeling about North America, after all, it was the world's superpower.

However, they became wary of the Japanese islands.

Especially in recent months, with the full integration of the Eastern Education System and the Hundred Schools Alliance, the Arctic Ocean-view world map popularized within the three education systems has suddenly become the hottest topic on the internet.

According to analysis by netizens around the world, if the Arctic Ocean is taken as the center of the world, countries within 2000 kilometers outside the Arctic Circle will accelerate their development due to the convenience brought by the Arctic shipping routes.

This development involves not only self-improvement, but also the influx of wealth from the equator, the Southern Hemisphere, and other regions following the shift of the world's center.

This includes trade, investment, and immigration.

However, just as the Age of Exploration led to the discovery of America, war was bound to break out in the new center of the world.

The incursion of Wajitsu Island into northwestern Canada is a prime example.

To put it bluntly, it's nothing more than vying for a limited number of 'Arctic Circle seats'.

Therefore, other countries and forces will inevitably fight each other for wealth.

This will lead to a new round of reshuffling on the home planet.

Countries that are 2000 kilometers from the Arctic Circle are destined to become developed countries in the future.

A country that cannot reach 2000 kilometers from the Arctic Circle is destined for decline and even bankruptcy.

Given this, how can countries currently in the field, such as Russia and the Nordic countries, not be nervous?
Japan, which dares to challenge other countries in the industry, has become a thorn in the side of many.

Therefore, eliminating troublemakers, making an example of them, and deterring others globally is beneficial to the survival of countries within the sphere of influence.

As a result, Sweden and Finland, which had previously claimed 'permanent neutrality' and were controlled by international Jewish capital, took the opportunity to announce their applications to join NATO.

At this critical juncture, with people coming to invest, North America is unlikely to refuse.

then.

On April 22nd at noon, Sweden and Finland became NATO's 32nd and 33rd members, respectively.

This left Ukraine, which desperately wanted to join NATO and the EU, feeling particularly bitter, yet it had no choice but to applaud and congratulate them internationally.

...

the other side.

NATO coalition assembly point - Edmonton.

Due to the Mercator projection, Canada appears much larger than North America on world maps.

However, in reality, Canada's north-south length is much shorter than that of North America.

Just like the West.

Its northern end is the Yukon Highlands, which borders the Arctic Ocean, and its southern end is the province of British Columbia, which borders North America.

It also resembles the central region.

The northernmost part is the 'Northwest Territory bordering the Arctic Ocean', and the southern part is the 'Province of Alberta bordering North America'.

The reason for dividing the regions in this way is simply because the polar environment is sparsely populated.

Therefore, apart from the areas bordering North America, there are no roads in the north of Canada.

Fort Smith is located in the Northwest Territory, bordering Alberta.

The nearest major transportation hub is Edmonton, the capital of southern Alberta, located 800 kilometers to the south.

Since North America had not yet regained air superiority from Japan, and dared not order its soldiers to carry various weapons on foot through the thawing forests and ice fields, crossing 800 kilometers to reach Fort Smith for combat.

North America then deployed a large number of helicopters, risking being shot down, to transport the NATO coalition forces, security companies, international mercenaries, and others gathered there to Fort Smith.

This process is like North America using drones to knock on walls, probing the Japanese islands' defenses, and then using bunker-buster missiles to take out the Japanese soldiers hiding in their bunkers.

In order to eliminate the enemy's manpower, Japan also transferred a large number of Japanese soldiers from the fleet off the west coast of Canada. They carried man-portable missiles and special drones and hid in the deep mountains and forests to secretly attack helicopters transporting North American troops.

Against this backdrop.

Of the 1.5-strong advance force stationed at Fort Smith on the Japanese islands, only one-tenth survived.

Of the helicopters sent from North America to Fort Smith, an average of 1.5 out of 10 survived.

therefore.

January 4th at 22pm.

When the ground forces of both sides make contact on the ice field.

The Japanese forces stationed at Fort Smith on the Japanese islands number less than 1300.

North America has no more than 1 combat personnel that it can field.

However, for North America, the NATO coalition still has a significant advantage.

So they launched a decisive battle.

However, when the NATO infantry, under the cover of North American howitzers, entered Fort Smith, they were completely dumbfounded.

The ice during the thawing period is not very solid to begin with. After being bombarded by artillery and drones, the ground is covered with soft ice shards and puddles of icy water that has not yet frozen.

To avoid Japanese fire from inside the fortress, NATO forces had to crawl through ice shards and icy water.

The problem is that once you crawl over, the bullets and components inside the firearm will inevitably freeze.

How will we fight then?
Should we just smash it?
