Chapter 128 Poison Project
1208 Hu Bin saw a telegram from the Air Force saying that the Air Force's plane was in place and could provide support to Hu Bin's troops. Hu Bin felt relieved when he heard this. With the Air Force coming, he had enough confidence in his heart. Huang Wenjin immediately asked him if he had the confidence.
Hu Bin said it, but he didn't continue. Hu Bin knew in his heart that Okamura's squad had such a big situation on the Eastern Front, hoping to make his past, and he hoped to defeat himself in the United States.
Hu Bin's troops continued to march and reinforced the Eastern Front. On the Eastern Front of the United States, Japan transferred more troops from various places and began to attack the second line of defense of the United States.
Not only did Japan transfer 300,000 troops from behind, but also drew 300,000 troops from the Japanese troops that had originally surrounded many cities on the Eastern Front. The entire troops invested in attacking the Second Defense of the United States exceeded 900,000, which brought huge pressure to the Second Defense of the United States and caused huge casualties.
"Damn it, if we continue to fight like this, our troops will be broken through in less than 3 days!" MacArthur stood in the command center and said anxiously. Now his troops have suffered heavy casualties. In just seven or eight days, more than half of the casualties have been killed, and many new recruits have already died.
"Can we let our troops in the city ahead break out and attack Japan? In this way, we can also alleviate the pressure on our front line!" a lieutenant general looked at MacArthur and asked.
"No, if the front-line troops are mobilized, Japan will have enough opportunities to besiege our cities. In this way, our cities are very likely to fall and cannot be mobilized!" MacArthur said when he heard this, shook his head.
"What should we do now? Now our second line of defense has to retreat to various cities. According to the requirements of the headquarters, once our second line of defense is broken, our troops must enter the city and prepare for street fighting." A major general next to him looked at MacArthur and said.
"How many have you transferred back now?" MacArthur asked.
"Now we have a total of 1.05 million troops in the big cities on the Eastern Front, plus the local garrison troops, but on average, there are less than 50,000 people in each city, so it is difficult to defend! Now our second defense line still has 970,000 troops, and Japan is still adding troops. I think our second defense line's troops will not last for 3 days, and our troops will be defeated!" A lieutenant general reported to MacArthur.
"Damn it!" MacArthur heard it and cursed.
"Report, Commander Marshall's telegram!" A staff officer came over with a telegram and said to Marshall.
When MacArthur heard this, he took the telegram and read it. There were a few words above, asking MacArthur to implement the poison plan.
"Now implement the poison plan?" MacArthur saw it, was stunned for a moment. The other lieutenant generals heard it and looked at MacArthur in discomfort. They had no idea what the poison plan was, and MacArthur had never mentioned it to them.
"Damn it, do you really need to implement the poison plan?" MacArthur put away the telegram and stood there and thought. The other staff members were looking at MacArthur. They didn't know what the poison plan was, so they could not comment on this matter.
"Come on, I'll issue orders to our front-line commanders, and implement poison plans!" MacArthur said.
"Yes!" A staff officer heard this and immediately stood up and went out to send a telegram. Soon, the commanders on the front line received a telegram from MacArthur.
"Implement the poison plan? Now how do you ask us to execute it? The Japanese troops are right in front of us. How can we withdraw? "A American commander was at the command center of the second line of defense. After seeing MacArthur's telegram, he said in surprise.
"Captain, what is the poison plan!" the chief of staff looked at the commander and asked.
"It is to retreat, retreat to various cities. We had a meeting before and discussed that each army has its own city to assist in defense. Once the front line cannot defend, the troops will retreat immediately, retreat as quickly as possible, and retreat to the city." The commander said.
"Retreat now?" the chief of staff heard it and looked at his commander and asked.
"Yes, retreat now, damn it! The Japanese troops are in front now. How can we retreat? Retreat now is to die." The commander said.
"Report, the command center telegram!" At this time, another staff officer came over with the telegram and said to the commander. The commander took the telegram and started reading again.
The telegram was sent by MacArthur, asking them to implement the poison plan tonight according to the actual situation on the battlefield. The troops must complete the retreat tonight. The troops must not move during the day and persist until evening.
"This is almost the same!" The lieutenant general nodded after seeing the telegram.
"Captain?" The Chief of Staff looked at his commander. He didn't know much about this plan.
"Come here, the target city we retreat is New York. Currently, our troops are 50 kilometers away from New York. After the Japanese troops stop attacking tonight, our troops will retreat immediately. There are more than 70,000 troops in New York. With our troops, we will look almost 120,000. At that time, our troops will defend against the Japanese troops attacking New York.
Let the Japanese troops attack our city, and now this is the only way to do this. Our cities are poisons one by one. Let the Japanese devils come and see how many they eat before they die!" The commander called the Chief of Staff to the map and said to the Chief of Staff.
"Like the city behind the first line of defense, we will still fight street battles and wait for the Japanese troops to attack? The city will turn into ruins at that time." The chief of staff looked at the commander and asked.
"Then what better way do you think? Can we still defend our second line of defense? During this period, you also know how much casualties our troops have. If we continue to fight, it is estimated that in less than 3 days, the Japanese troops will be able to break through our line of defense.
Once they break through our defense line, you say that the cities behind us have insufficient troops to guard, and if Japan is allowed to kill them, not only will the city become ruins, but our people will also become cold corpses. How should we choose?" The commander said to his chief of staff.
"Damn it, what's wrong with us in the United States? Why are we losing again and again on the front line? Until now, we can't even protect the people of our country!" The staff officer said in disappointment.
"Don't think about these things for now. There is no time for us to think about these things. Arrange it. Tonight, we will implement the poison plan. Our troops must retreat!" The commander looked at the chief of staff and said.
"Didn't it mean that the Chinese troops will arrive soon? If the Chinese troops arrive, we can counterattack. Can't we hold on for a few more days?" the chief of staff asked as he looked at his commander.
"I don't know, and I also hope that Chinese troops will come soon, and Chinese troops will annihilate a million enemies on the Western Front.
But you also know how far it is from the Western Front to the Eastern Front. Now we can no longer defend it and can no longer wait until their Chinese troops come." The commander looked at the map, shook his head and sighed.
At the headquarters of the United States' Eastern Front, MacArthur was also thinking about Hu Bin's troops at this time.
"Ask Hu Bin's troops, where have they arrived now? Why did we ask their troops three days ago, and they always didn't tell us what they mean?" MacArthur said a little angry.
He originally hoped that Hu Bin's troops could get here as soon as possible, but three days ago, Hu Bin's telegram would not tell the United States where his troops were, MacArthur wanted to know very much, as this would be related to the progress of their battle on the Eastern Front.
"I don't know yet. We asked the headquarters, but the headquarters didn't say anything. The headquarters' call back to us was that Hu Bin's troops were kept confidential and could not be said!" The chief of staff of the headquarters looked at MacArthur and said.
"I knew that the Chinese were unreliable. They had been marching for more than 8 days. Today, it was 9 days, 9 days. We don't know where the Chinese troops have reached. Maybe they haven't moved in California!" Mike Arthur said dissatisfied.
"Commander, this is unlikely, right?" The Chief of Staff heard it, thought for a while, and spoke.
"They are simply unreliable. We, the United States, spent such a huge price to ask them for help. We are completely unreliable. The Philippines is now occupied by China. That is our United States, and it is theirs now. Damn it!" MacArthur immediately cursed.
He served in the Philippines before. He did not win when fighting with Japan and was driven out. Later, he learned that the troops from Chongqing in China occupied the other side, and was very dissatisfied.
"Commander, it's better not to say this. According to the news I know, now we all have great hope and confidence in the Chinese troops. If you say this, if the Chinese troops know it, it will cause you unnecessary trouble." The Chief of Staff immediately reminded MacArthur,
On the Australian Base Camp in Japan, Okamura Yanji is also looking for Hu Bin's troops. Hu Bin's troops suddenly lost their trace yesterday. The Japanese reconnaissance planes and ground reconnaissance forces did not know where Hu Bin's troops were now.
