Chapter 1132 The Battle of Guam (Part 2)
The Japanese army's night attack achieved the effect they wanted. Although they did not occupy the position as scheduled, they killed and injured the US troops on the position in large quantities.
Hand-to-hand combat in the dark night is really the weakness of the US military. On the other hand, the Japanese army has huge advantages in this regard. They have suffered many night attacks from the National Defense Forces back then.
While developing how to fight night attacks, they also formulated their own night attack plans, how to lurk in front of the positions, how to cooperate between the troops, when to launch... and so on.
But these are something the US Marines have never learned. The lesson that the Japanese taught them was made with blood. Admiral Halsey arrived at the position in the early morning, and the Japanese army had retreated at this time.
.
What is left to the US military are the corpses and smoke from the ground.
Halsey wanted to curse with a blue face, but he didn't know who to curse the Japanese?! This is a waste of words, and scolding them can only hurt their morale and make the Japanese happier.
Nothing is more glorious than forcing your enemies to curse yourself on the battlefield. The anger at the enemies on the battlefield comes from your own incompetence.
If you have the ability, you would have wiped out them long ago. Why do you have to waste your mouth and tongue against others?!
"General, I think we should let the National Defense Forces support some of the troops. Especially the Army, they have great experience in how to deal with the Japanese army." Frank suggested to Halsey in the conference room.
"And we have to admit that our experience in combat against Japan is far inferior to that of the National Defense Forces. After all, they once drove the Japanese out of China and also drove Japan out of Southeast Asia alive. In this regard, they have accumulated a large number of them.
Experience…”
"Frank, I also hope they can support us. But look at the current situation, the Japanese blocked Iwo Jima. If you use other routes, the war will be over when the National Defense Forces arrive..."
This idea is not without Halsey, but it is really not realistic. Too few people come, it will not work at all. But if you come too much, capacity is a huge problem.
Moreover, they may be attacked by the Japanese army along the way. Now the Japanese Navy's joint fleet is still very powerful. Unless the United States joint fleet sails to escort.
But in this case, once the news leaks, Wake Island and even Hawaii will be in danger. Even the Japanese army may do whatever it takes to sink the troop transport ship.
At that time, the loss of a large number of troops will greatly damage the Allies' vitality. The worst thing is that this will make it impossible for the US military to explain to the Defense Forces. Moreover, the Defense Forces are unlikely to agree with this crazy idea.
"But the current deadlock is difficult for us to break. Indeed, we can break through the Japanese positions and even wipe out the Japanese troops on Guam. But our losses will be huge, which is not in the interests of the United States..."
Frank sighed and said helplessly: "Due to our huge losses, Congress has already criticized it. If General Marshall had not made any comments to the president, we might have been questioned by Congress..."
"Don't I know this situation?! But at present, we have no other good method except for the strong attack..." Halsey frowned and said, "First order the troops to take steps and build the fortifications well.
The secret sentry needs to be fully equipped and patrols are strengthened..."
Halsey can only use some methods to repair the Japanese attack. There is no way, the huge firepower advantage of the US military in the dark night will lose its power.
It will be weakened by at least 30%, which leads to the embarrassment of the Japanese counterattack at any time.
"It's all that..." Frank sighed: "I used to think that tiger was just like this. I felt his National Welfare Army was just like this. In my heart, there was never how powerful the Japanese army was..."
"But after experiencing the battles on Wake Island and the present, I think the tiger and his Wehrmacht are too strong..." Frank sighed helplessly: "I can't imagine how they fought against the Japanese..."
If it were soldiers of the National Defense Forces, or Eisenhower and others here, they would tell Frank that the Japanese army was in their position and were constantly attacked by the National Defense Forces.
Now, the ones who were attacked were replaced by the Japanese army to the US army. The attackers were replaced by the National Defense Forces to the Japanese army...
"These American Marines are too weak, right?! Is this the Japanese defeated them?!" North Korea Seoul, generals of the National Defense Forces looked at the war reports from the US military incredibly.
More than 10,000 casualties were killed and killed, and the US military was complaining. And with a large amount of heavy firepower support, they even fought the war like that...
"We can't blame the US military. They have never fought with the Japanese army in the first place. These Japanese dwarfs were the ones who suffered in our hands back then, so it is normal for the US military to get used to it all at once..."
The tiger was slandering that the US Marines in later generations were famous! Their combat power was so strong that they were almost the leader. They could be seen all over the world.
Openly and secretly, Tu Mengben in his previous life has not many fights with the US Marine Corps. The famous seals, Tu Mengben in openly and secretly fought with them, and the sky was dark and the earth was dark.
Even Tu Mengben, who was at his strongest, had to admit the combat effectiveness of these seals at that time. He was able to survive from the battlefield, and his skills were also lucky.
Among the team where Tu Meng Ben was in the last life without a number and file, he was one of the few who could serve until five years and still transferred to his posts.
Most of their comrades were almost killed in previous operations, or were disabled, and forced to leave the army...
"They still need time, but now it seems that they need a lot of time..." Tu Mengben was hesitating now. He was hesitating whether he wanted to help the US military build such a team.
To be honest, he was unwilling to establish a powerful imaginary enemy for himself.
"Commander, why don't we let our people come and help?!" A staff officer smiled and eager to try: "Don't the Americans always think it's easy to deal with the Japanese?! This time we suffer a loss, we should show ourselves.
The muscles. Call the Americans to take a look, this is also a shock..."
The words of this staff officer made Tu Mengben stunned. He suddenly thought of a story that his old company commander's father, the retired general, had told him.
In the later years of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, there was a force from Africa. It was a "joint**" from Ethiopia.
At that time, Ethiopian emperor Selasi, who was far away in Africa, believed that this was an opportunity to please the United States. He sent his own troops to participate in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.
The troops sent were happy to think that this was just a "comfortable trip to the East". Some Ethiopian public opinion even shouted: "How strong is the Ethiopian military strength, you will know when you come back!"
Unfortunately, ideals are beautiful reality but skinny. When I went to a battalion where I participated in the war, I encountered the volunteer army at that time on Shangganling. The result can be imagined.
The Ethiopian troops with more than 1,000 people were cut off half. The casualties of more than 600 people made Ethiopia understand a truth at once: this is not a game they can participate in.
Ethiopia, which was crushed with the eggs, began to gradually contact China. Later, Ethiopia established diplomatic relations with China in 1971.
All of this has to be said to be the blood of the volunteers who fought back from the battlefield at that time.
"What do you think?!" Tu Mengben did not express his opinion directly, but asked the generals and schoolmen around him. Li Yannian, the commander of the Second Artillery Force, who had not spoken, looked at everyone and said.
"Let me tell me!" But Li Yannian stood up and said to everyone: "I think it's time to show Americans our muscles in person!"
"Although we have achieved some results, obviously there are still doubts about us in the United States. We need to show our strength in front of them so that they will truly regard us as allies..."
Li Yannian pondered for a while and said, "I have studied the way of doing things in Western countries. They absolutely respect their strength. They only respect their strength. They don't care much about your skin color and position."
"But as long as you can show their strength to stand out, they will look at you with admiration!" As he said, Li Yannian paused and said, "The reason why Japan was able to enter the club of the great powers back then was that they were
He showed his strength in the Russo-Japanese War.”
"So, even though Europe and the United States were extremely dissatisfied at that time, they had to accept him as a member of the club of the great powers..." Li Yannian looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "If we want to win our position after the war, then show ourselves in front of them.
The muscles are an indispensable procedure!”
"Cleaning those Japanese and killing chickens for monkeys! We need to spread a belief to them that once we become our enemies, that will be the most terrible thing!"
Tu Mengben nodded. He really needed to show his muscles. If he could bring this concept to the US team, the US military's rebound in the division of Pacific forces in the future will not be so powerful.
Showing your muscles is also a way to ensure the relationship between the two sides. Only when strength is equal can you be qualified to be an ally. Otherwise, you are not an ally and can only be a follower.
Tu Mengben did not say the result directly, but waved his hand to let everyone retreat. Then he asked Su Zongzhe: "Uncle Qiliu, what do you think?"
"Let the crow go!" Su Zongzhe smiled slightly and said, "Since you want to show your muscles, then reveal the strongest piece. Of course, their names and identities cannot be exposed..." (To be continued
