(30 JUN 2060 - 14 SEP 2060)
INVASION OF THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES
Phase I
(30 JUN 2060 - 14 SEP 2060)
INVASION OF THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES
Phase I
PRE-BATTLE SITREP:
The United States of America on 24 MAY 2060 suffered a devastating defeat off the coast of Hawaii resulting in the destruction of the US Pacific Fleet and the loss of the state of Hawaii to the People's Republic of China. The PRC used the islands as a staging ground for the invasion of the continental United States. While the United States itself was under siege by a anti-war movement (secretly funded and led by the PRC) that violently resisted a full American rearmament. The United States Military drastically reduced in size since the beginning of the 21st Century had few regular combat divisions and they were deployed outside the United States. Half of the US Forces were on the colonies defending them from PRC and CFR attack and the rest were bogged down defending the European Union from a massive CFR-HIE invasion. US Forces also had combat detachments in the defense of India and Israel. The United States relied on its air and space superiority to defend its homeland and left itself unguarded to the PRC invasion.
BATTLE OUTLINE:
On 30 JUN 2060 the PRC temporarily disabled the United States missile defense system, communication systems, banking systems, computer networks, energy grid, transportation networks, and internet by launching a massive cyber attack hours prior to the invasion. Cyber attacks were a normal occurrence for the United States, but this cyber attack targeted missile defense systems and US central command did not realize this until the first nuclear strike wiped out a dozen cities.
In Earth's Orbit US space fighters courageously fought off PRC-CFR fighters and downed numerous nuclear missiles, saving dozens of cities including New York City and Philadelphia. The US Fighters ran out of ammunition (a product of massive budget cuts) and kamikazed into the remaining US-bound nuclear missiles. The US missile defense system recovered and the PRC was forced to abandon Earth's Orbit, unfortunately 143 nuclear missiles destroyed 26 American cities including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Kansas City, San Antonio, Seattle, Washington D.C., etc. The United States retaliated with 400+ missiles killing millions of Chinese, but the PRC had already evacuated their major cities in anticipation of the counter-strike.
On 01 JUL 2060 within hours of the nuclear exchange, PRC Forces from Hawaii rapidly crossed the Pacific Ocean and landed 92+ divisions in the irradiated ruins of California. The PRC forces engaged a hastily assembled force of US Marine recruits from San Diego BMT and local law enforcement. The PRC forces overwhelmed the US force within a few hours. This US Force although outgunned and ill-equipt to survive in a nuclear fallout environment delayed the PRC invasion force long enough for the US National Guards and state militias to assemble and prepare a line of defense.
On 02 JUL 2060 the National Guards and the militias of New Mexico, Arizona, and Nevada launched a suicidal counter-attack on the PRC invasion force in an attempt to allow the United States Military to evacuate civilians to the eastern seaboard and fortify a line of defense in the Rocky Mountains.
On 15 JUL 2060 the PRC invasion force reaches 2+ million soldiers and crush the US counter-attack. The PRC invasion force reaches the Rocky Mountain Defensive Line. Guardsmen and militia from all over the United States bitterly hold the Rocky Mountains, resulting in a massive loss of life on both sides. This second holding action gave the United States time to assemble a last line of defense along the eastern banks of the Mississippi River and rush US forces around the world back to the homeland for its defense.
On 25 AUG 2060 the PRC invasion force reaches 4+ million soldiers and finally break through the Rocky Mountains and easily conquer the great plain states.
On 27 AUG 2060 the PRC invasion force reaches the Mississippi River Defensive Line and attempts to cross all along the rivers lenght. The United States with a couple months preparation time established a complex defensive line complete with bunkers, automated pillboxes, combat trenches and mine fields along the entire Mississippi River. The PRC attempt to cross the Mississippi resulted in massive Chinese casualties.
On 02 SEP 2060 the PRC invasion force reaches 6+ million soldiers and a massive attack is launched on the city of Chicago. Controlling Chicago would open a land path to bypass the Mississippi River Defensive Line since Chicago is between the river and the great lakes. Doing so would result in the ultimate destruction of the United States of America. The PRC invasion force engages the defenders of Chicago and fight US regular forces in large numbers (redeployed from Europe) for the first time. The US defenders repel numerous attacks and the PRC invasion force reached within ten miles of the cities center.
On 14 SEP 2060 the PRC invasion force exhausted from heavy losses inflicted on them by the fanatical American defenders of the Mississippi River Defensive Line and Chicago decide to dig in and hold the territory they conquered. The second phase of the North American Campaign would begin, "The Long Attrition"
