Chapter 572 Los Angeles Operation (3rd update, please subscribe)

While the shelling was still going on, a transport boat was lowered from the navy's coal ship Yingrui, carrying an armored vehicle.

Not only bombarding, but also landing!

"Hurry... hurry up!"

The three ships of the task force had climbing nets thrown down over the side. The sailors in sailor shirts and sailor caps, carrying their rifles on their backs, stepped on the climbing nets and climbed down to the small boats on the side. These strong sailors were mostly boilermen. In the past, their posts were on warships and in coal bunkers, but now they needed to pick up rifles and fight like the army.

And at this time, it is often such a task that is carried out!

In order to execute the landing operation order, the fleet drew 300 sailors from non-combat positions on each ship to cooperate with the marines. Rowboats full of sailors rowed towards the port area.

Leading the way were two steam transport boats, with sailors operating Gatling guns on board, looking at the harbor vigilantly. Zhao Minghao, a reporter accompanying the army, held a movie camera to record the landing of the troops. The landing of the troops was very smooth. Although the Americans on the shore attacked them with rifles and pistols, the resistance on the shore was quickly disintegrated under the intensive firepower suppression of several electric Gatling guns.

More than ten minutes later, Zhao Minghao, who was the first to go ashore, was standing at the harbor to film the troops going ashore. He saw an armored vehicle being unloaded from the steamer to the shore by the dock crane. This armored vehicle was specially prepared for this landing. This armored vehicle would become a mobile fortress accompanying the troops in the attack. It was the first time for most sailors to see this kind of armored vehicle.

"Check the armored vehicles. We will lead them into Los Angeles to carry out Operation Justice Enforcement and arrest all suspects according to the list!"

Marine Corps Captain Wang Leping shouted in his Henan dialect that this armored vehicle was destined to become a nightmare for the Americans in the city!

When the armored vehicles started, the sailors who were gathering at the dock followed the armored vehicles into the city. When the troops attacked, someone in the front shouted loudly.

"Citizens of Los Angeles, we are here to enforce the law. Please do not resist law enforcement. Any unfriendly behavior will be regarded as resistance! For your safety, please put down your weapons!"

Amid the sailors' shouts, the armored vehicle continued to move forward. Wang Leping, who was following behind the armored vehicle, looked back at his brothers and said.

"Our mission is to arrest those suspects who are suspected of killing and robbing overseas Chinese! ... Remember our principles of engagement. Any attack, no matter who the target is, is an enemy of our army!"

Since they are enemies, there is only one result - kill them.

At this time, the shelling had stopped, and some distraught men and women in the city were walking in the ruins like ghosts.

Los Angeles as a city no longer exists.

Collapsed ruins, burning houses, and broken limbs everywhere.

How many people died in the shelling?

No one cares, but the enforcement continues!

Under the cover of armored vehicles, the Marines and armed sailors walked cautiously on the streets. The soldiers holding rifles occasionally looked around.

“Beep!”

The sudden sound of gunfire caused the sailors to immediately scatter to both sides to seek cover, and the armored vehicles immediately fired forward.

“Sizzle…”

With a burst of dense gunfire, the resisting Americans were knocked down.

More Americans threw away their pistols and rifles and walked out of the ruins. They looked at these yellow people in horror. Just a month ago, in the eyes of these white people, "Chinese" were the targets of their arbitrary beatings and insults.

And now?

These soldiers are coming!

They came here with their warships and cannons, and made their voices heard with their cannons!

This is a manhunt!

Those white people who were once so arrogant have now become docile little lambs. They walked out from the ruins with their hands raised high.

No one dared to resist the army.

As they raised their hands in surrender, several officers held up lists and shouted out some names.

"Billy Douglas! Billy Douglas! Who is Billy Douglas..."

“Michelle…”

Soon, with the identification of the Americans themselves, suspects were pulled out one after another, including Tom.

Unlike many people who excitedly defended themselves by saying that they did not kill any Chinese when they were caught, Tom looked at the officer and spoke loudly.

"I never regretted killing Chinese people, I only regretted killing only one person!"

He thought this would anger the officer, but the officer just stared at him sarcastically and said.

"Trust me, you will regret it!"

Then a sailor hit him hard on the head with the butt of his rifle, and after he fell to the ground, he tied him up with a rope.

Doesn't he regret it now? It doesn't matter, he will definitely regret living in this world in the future!

At this time, the faces of the arrested Americans, whether white or black, no longer showed the arrogance of the past, but only pitiful pleas.

That's right, among those arrested were not only white people, but also black people. Not only white people participated in the looting that day, but also black people. Those black people who are not human beings in front of white people often discriminate against Chinese people even more.

578 suspects, how many were arrested?

But there are only 315 people, where did the rest go?

One thing is certain: some people escaped, but many more died in the devastating artillery fire.

"Oh my God, what have you done?"

Mayor Frank shouted excitedly. He couldn't believe what he saw. The city was destroyed.

"You devils."

Yes, these people are devils, and only devils can do such things. Of course, at this time he obviously forgot the crimes committed by his compatriots before.

"Are you Mayor Frank Weir?"

An officer walked up to him and asked.

"Yes, I am the mayor of this city, you thugs. How could you..."

But the officer did not give him a chance to stand up and say, "Hey, I'm fine."

"You are under arrest for harboring a criminal!"

"What sir? How could this be? This must be a misunderstanding..."

Frank Weir argued in horror.

"Sir, there must be a misunderstanding here. Although... please believe that I can help you rule this city better."

Faced with possible danger, Frank Weir immediately made the most advantageous choice for himself - surrender, like submitting to the occupier.

But he was doomed to be disappointed, the officer told him bluntly.

"We are not here to take over the city, but for justice. Frank Weir, you are under arrest!"

Amid the stunned gaze of the public, Frank Weir, the mayor of Los Angeles, was arrested.

He was the only one arrested for covering up and destroying evidence. A dozen council members and officials were also arrested for destroying evidence in the Los Angeles tragedy.

In short, this is just a law enforcement action.

In fact, Americans must be particularly familiar with this kind of thing. After all, more than a hundred years later, their descendants regarded themselves as the world's police and carried out so-called law enforcement operations around the world.

Well, now it's America's turn to experience it for themselves.

Of course, this is definitely not a pleasant experience, especially for politicians who are lawyers, who were still talking about something when they were arrested.

"Sir, please respect the laws of the United States. You are on American territory and you do not have the power to enforce the law in the United States."

What they said seemed to make sense. It seemed to be true.

But so what?

They obviously forgot at this time that when they covered up the facts, they never considered the existence of laws.

"Sir, if American law had any effect, it wouldn't be our turn to speak with cannons!"
