Chapter 1243 The stubborn resistance of the United States
1243 Japan's fighter jets took off, because their radar discovered that the American fighter jets had taken off, so they had to meet them.
"Damn it, they seemed to have dispatched bombers!" After seeing the telegram, Takeji Nara became worried.
"Commander, we have so many fighter jets over there. I think their bombers may not be there, right?" said the Chief of Staff, looking at Takeji Nara.
"Wrong, they will fight to the death. This time it may not be commanded by MacArthur, but by Marshall. MacArthur may not fight like this!" Nara Takeji said.
"They are fighting desperately, regardless of casualties, just to bomb our troops?" the chief of staff asked Nara Takeji.
"Yes!" Nara Takeji said while standing there.
"Then it will be dangerous for our troops to assemble below. Can't our troops disperse?" asked the Chief of Staff again.
"If it spreads, the American troops will rush up. How can we surround them? They also have armored troops and a large number of infantry. So, damn it, how long will it take for our troops to reach Pittsburgh?" Nara Takeji asked as he looked at the chief of staff.
"The troops taking a bus take 4 hours, and the troops walking take 10 hours, mainly because the road is difficult to walk now. However, our troops in Harrisburg can reach Pittsburgh in 3 hours!" The Chief of Staff looked at Takeji Nara and answered.
"Let our Harrisburg troops attack the American troops as soon as possible. The remaining troops will be siege Harrisburg and kill as much as possible. This time, we will completely lose the ability to counterattack!" Takeji Nara looked at him and said.
"Hi!" The Chief of Staff heard this, nodded, and went out.
In Harrisburg, American troops are still struggling to resist. All the recruits know that if they cannot surrender, they will be dead ends and it is better to fight.
"Kill and give it to me!" The Japanese commander kept commanding his troops to launch a charge against the American troops. The artillery bombing had never stopped. Before the American artillery troops were established, they were bombarded by the Japanese artillery troops.
So, they can only use infantry to resist now, and the only thing they still have some hope is the armored troops, but it is also very difficult for the American armored troops to fight here!
"Damn it, the Japanese charges too hard, and we have suffered too many casualties!" A staff officer came to the army commander and said.
"Report, General Marshall's telegram, asking us to persevere until after 8 o'clock tonight, he said, "He said that there are no reinforcements, and now we can only win more time for the troops behind us. We, we must be prepared to be wiped out!" A staff officer came to the commander and said to the commander with the telegram.
"Return to the commander's telegram, our troops will only die in battle and will not surrender. We will do our best to hold back the Japanese troops. Please rest assured!" the lieutenant general said.
"Commander, Commander, the troops in our city are now coming out!" At this time, a staff officer rushed over and said to the commander.
"What?" The commander was quite surprised when he heard this. There were no more troops in Harrisburg, and now they rushed out.
"Report, the city's defenders' telegrams are asking us to lean towards Harrisburg, and they will break out a route there. Their artillery is ready to bomb the Japanese positions, and hope we can seize the time and work with them to expand our gap!" A staff officer ran over and said to the commander.
"Order the troops of the Second Division to attack Harrisburg, charge at any cost, kill their troops and open the gap. We are going to enter Harrisburg!" The commander heard it and shouted loudly.
As long as they can enter Harrisburg, their troops will be safe. Now they need to cooperate with the troops in the city to open the gap!
On the side of the Japanese, the Japanese also discovered the intention of the United States and immediately mobilized the troops to reinforce the place.
"Boom boom boom boom!" Suddenly, there was a sound of artillery bombing in the city of Harrisburg. The shells did not fall on the position, but on the Japanese artillery positions. Although they did not have many artillery soldiers, they were now bombing the Japanese artillery positions.
"Damn it, find their artillery position, bomb, bomb immediately!" The Japanese commander saw it and shouted loudly.
If the artillery is bombed by the American artillery troops, it will be difficult for them to prevent the American troops from entering Harrisburg.
"Report, the headquarters telegram, we ask us to kill the American troops here as quickly as possible, and then attack Pittsburgh!" A staff officer came to the side of the Japanese commander and shouted.
"I know!" the Japanese commander shouted loudly.
He also wanted to kill the American troops here as soon as possible, but these American troops were completely desperate and difficult to fight. His infantry troops have suffered relatively large casualties. In addition, they had never expected that the United States had artillery in Harrisburg, so their artillery is now targeted by the United States.
"Boom boom boom boom!" At this time, a huge explosion came from the artillery position. The Japanese commander looked back and found that the fire was soaring into the sky.
"Baga!" The Japanese commander gritted his teeth and cursed.
"Commander, artillery telegram, many of their artillery were destroyed by American artillery, and now they want to transfer their positions!" A staff officer came over and said to the commander.
"Let them hurry up and rearrange it!" the commander shouted loudly.
The artillery had to set up positions, and it would take more than an hour to set up positions, so for more than an hour, their infantry did not have artillery to reinforce.
Now their infantry has to face the American troops directly, and the American troops have individual bazooka, which is the most hated by Japanese troops. Such weapons are very convenient and powerful. They suffer a lot from this weapon when they are in the United States.
"Boom boom boom!" The artillery position was still bombing, and the American troops began to attack Harris. In addition, there were troops in Harrisburg fighting outside, which made it very difficult for the Japanese to fight. Now they kept calling for reinforcements, but the reinforcing took time.
"Breaking open the gap and expand the gap!" The American commander behind was also looking at the direction here. He knew that now was their only chance. As long as they could open the gap, his troops would not be wiped out.
"No, it's not possible now. Hurry up, send a telegram to the headquarters. The American troops in Harrisburg resist very firmly.
I suggest that we give up the American troops here, and my troops will attack Pittsburgh now. There are not many American troops here. We can let them enter Harrisburg, as long as we can encircle and annihilate the large American troops!" The Japanese commander said to the staff officer behind.
"Hi!" The staff officer behind him immediately went to send a telegram.
In Pittsburgh, American planes first arrived over Japanese troops, and they began to bomb the Japanese troops that were marching.
"I want the Air Force, Air Force, when will it be possible to arrive!" The Japanese commander who was about to detour to the south of Pittsburgh shouted loudly. Now their Air Force has not come to support them, causing them to suffer heavy casualties.
"Report, it will take 20 minutes for the Air Force!" a staff officer said to the commander.
"Damn it, why does it take so long? 20 minutes or 20 minutes, my troops were blown up by the American troops! Move forward, the armored troops advance, don't care about the infantry!"
The Japanese commander also hated and gave up the infantry directly. Without the support of the air force, their anti-aircraft guns had not been organized yet, so he had no choice but to order his armored troops to advance separately. Regardless of the bombers in the sky, they had to go to the main road leading to Pittsburgh first and stop the American troops who wanted to retreat.
"Boom boom boom!" There was still an explosion behind, and the current target of the American bomber was very clear, killing those infantry units.
Those Japanese tanks can only attack with their American tanks. At that time, the American infantry troops can still charge out. As long as there are no infantry stops, they can go out.
At this time, Marshall was very happy after receiving a telegram from the Air Force to successfully bomb the Japanese infantry at the headquarters!
"Commander, then, it is possible that our troops can break out?" The other generals heard it and looked at Marshall and said.
"I don't know yet that there are armored troops in Japan. This requires our armored troops to work hard! The infantry troops to cover ours come out." Marshall said immediately. The other generals heard it and nodded.
"Report, the telegram from Harrisburg, our troops there are now opening the gap to Harrisburg, and the troops in Harrisburg City are also cooperating with each other!" a staff officer said.
"Okay, very good! Order our troops to rush into Harrisburg no matter what! No, no! Stop, don't send this telegram!" Marshall originally wanted to let the troops enter Harrisburg, but after thinking about it carefully, it felt wrong!
