Mediterranean Hegemony Road
Chapter 32, Night Raid
In Idaho, the pocket formation painstakingly arranged by the US military is in the final battle. Apparently, Pershing was very dissatisfied with the result of only one small fish in the netway this time. After tightening the encirclement, he began to think about the strategic plan again.
"Your Excellency, Commander, we may consider ambushing enemy reinforcements on the way!" Douglas MacArthur suggested
Perxing's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again. The enemy's reinforcements were at least hundreds of thousands, so how to ambush?
A small number of people is useless, and a large number of people cannot keep secrets. The plan is a good plan, but when it is actually implemented, it will be difficult to complete!
"No way, MacArthur, we can't keep secrets when we mobilize a large army. The enemy already knows our situation, so it's impossible not to take precautions!" Pershing denied.
Douglas MacArthur said unwillingly: "We can camouflage and let the troops enter in batches. The enemy's marching lineup must be very long, and we will launch a sneak attack at night!"
Perxing thought for a while and said, "Your plan is only suitable for a small group of troops. No matter how disguised we are, it is impossible for us to send hundreds of thousands of troops there without being discovered by the enemy!"
Douglas MacArthur asked rhetorically: "Why does it have to be hundreds of thousands of troops? If we only dispatch tens of thousands of troops, and then spread them out to disguise themselves as regional militias, even if the enemy finds out, they will not pay attention!
And I also found a problem, our troops are very conducive to fighting at night, as long as the soldiers' uniforms are dyed black, under the cover of night, the enemy can't find anything! "
Perxing thought for a while and said, "Okay, you can try it, I hope you can succeed! But before that, we still have to eat up the enemy army in front of us as soon as possible, and then deal with the enemy's reinforcements! "
With ten times the strength of the troops, Pershing said that there was nothing wrong with them. They had the confidence to eat up the Japanese army in a short time.
Confidence is not equal to strength, and the US military, which was in charge of the attack, was soon severely slapped in the face.
Due to the lack of sufficient training, the American soldiers performed very badly. They often swarmed up when attacking. They failed to carefully look for the enemy's weak points, and failed to coordinate with the artillery in an orderly manner. The result was naturally disastrous!
Three days have passed, and the Japanese army is still huddled in a small place, tenaciously holding on to their positions. Although they have suffered heavy casualties now, this battle still has no intention of ending!
Douglas MacArthur has already set off with his troops. The future five-star general, who was only a lieutenant colonel a few months ago, is now the commander of the US First Army.
This war is seen as an opportunity to become a hero. As long as the sneak attack is completed, the enemy's reinforcements are severely damaged, and then the main force is used to drive the enemy into the sea, the battle will come alive.
With the prestige of a great victory, the United States of America has the capital to conduct peace talks with the League of Nations to end this war that should not have happened.
And as the key figure at the turning point of this war, he—Douglas MacArthur is naturally the hero of this country!
The reality is always cruel. When he came out with the troops, Douglas MacArthur knew that there was trouble. Although the black uncles were brave in fighting, their records were really messy.
Due to the rapid march, Douglas MacArthur did not notice at first,
But when he arrived at the reserved place, he counted the number of people and suddenly found that a regiment of soldiers had already lost before the war started.
If you lose it, you can lose it. It is very normal to be behind in a hurry. What troubles him most is that many officers can't find soldiers, and soldiers can't find officers. They gather together in a chaotic way!
These are minor problems. He is also a famous general in the future. Although he only became a famous general after fighting a lot of defeats, he still has basic abilities.
Douglas MacArthur ordered resolutely: "Order all troops to lead people in the order of the establishment, and distribute them by themselves after they are taken back!"
Just mess around, this is not the first time, he already has a wealth of experience in dealing with it. Even though he knew that the group of soldiers under him was a mob, he was still full of confidence in this operation!
Pershing's order to him was to injure the enemy as hard as possible, and if he couldn't do it, he would take the next best thing, disrupt the order of the enemy, and delay their marching speed.
As long as any one of the above tasks is completed, it doesn't matter if the whole army is wiped out, as long as it wins strategically!
Therefore, the supplies they carried were very limited, and there was no retreat. As long as the mission was completed, he could take some officers to hide in nearby towns. This army was already abandoned.
...
At dusk, the Japanese army had arrived outside the city of Wells, more than ten kilometers away from the ambush site prepared by MacArthur. Now that the U.S. military is preparing to move again, MacArthur does not think that the Japanese army will rush over at this time, and of course they will move to the next ambush point.
As foreigners, it is impossible for the Japanese soldiers to enter the city to rest. Unless they are going to rob, Japanese soldiers will not approach the American residential area alone, which means danger.
In a country where all the people are armed with guns, it is better to restrain yourself and keep up with the big troops, otherwise you may eat peanuts at any time. This is a lesson learned by countless Japanese soldiers in exchange for blood!
Yusaku Uehara will naturally not make such a mistake again. There are opportunities to rob at any time, and now the most important thing is to save people. The Second Army has been trapped in the enemy's encirclement for three days, and it may be finished at any time. How could he delay time? Woolen cloth?
An officer suddenly ran up to Yusaku Uehara and said, "Report, Your Excellency, Commander, General Uchiyama Kojiro sent another telegram asking for help. The U.S. military is now attacking day and night, and they are about to be overwhelmed!"
Yusaku Uehara scolded angrily: "It's trash, you've completely embarrassed the Imperial Japanese Army, tell them to hold on! Order the troops to speed up the march, and rest after walking another 20 kilometers!"
Following his order, the Japanese soldiers who were supposed to camp and rest had to continue on their way. The car was born, but the Japanese army was not yet proud. Soldiers could be allowed to ride in a car. His main way of marching was still on two legs!
This is the United States, how could the Japanese army's movements be hidden from the US military? Although the American people are very dissatisfied with this government, they still know who to choose when compared with the Japanese army.
MacArthur, who had just packed up his belongings and was about to transfer, decisively chose to stop after receiving the information, and waited for the Japanese army to come to his door.
Time passed by every minute and every second, night had fallen, and the Japanese soldiers had to turn on their flashlights to continue marching, which suddenly increased the distance by 20 kilometers. Even if they were well-trained, they were still exhausted.
Douglas MacArthur laughed. He never dreamed that such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity would be met by him! What could be easier than sneaking a weary army?
Looking at the Japanese army's long march against the army, MacArthur decisively let go of the front army and the center army. His target, the Japanese rear army, was not only easier to obtain, but also the Japanese army's logistics was also in the rear army. The strategic goal has been achieved!
He didn't care what would happen to the Japanese army without supplies. As a great Americanist, he has long been very dissatisfied with the non-resistance policy of the states. If the local militia can fight the Japanese army, he doesn't mind pushing it!
MacArthur asked: "How far has the Japanese army passed?"
The adjutant thought for a while and said: "The Japanese army has walked out of our ambush circle for about five kilometers, is passing by about three kilometers, and has not entered the ambush circle for two kilometers!"
That's right, they have no way to count the number of enemy troops in the dark, and directly judge the length of the marching team to infer the number of enemies, which has become the only way.
MacArthur thought for a while and said: "Order the troops to prepare for battle, and launch an attack in half an hour!"
"Yes!" replied the adjutant
I have to say that Uncle Hei really took advantage at night. The Japanese army just regarded them as air at a distance of only a few hundred meters.
The waiting time is always long, tick, tick, half an hour finally passed, the rear of the Japanese army also entered the ambush circle, MacArthur gave an order: "Attack!"
Then the American soldiers launched an attack on the exhausted Japanese army according to the pre-drills!
The sudden attack stunned the Japanese army. The enemy was covered in pitch black from top to bottom. Many Japanese soldiers thought they had encountered a ghost! Fortunately, these ghosts are also afraid of bullets, otherwise these logistics soldiers would probably have collapsed by now!
This is caused by the unique military system of the Japanese. Usually they are used to putting the most capable main force in the front army, so that they can explode the strongest combat effectiveness during the battle; while the logistics troops with low combat effectiveness are placed In the rear army, the enemy has been dealt with by the front troops, so the rear army is naturally the safest!
Unexpectedly, this time, they met MacArthur, a bold guy who didn't play his cards according to common sense. He brought troops to die!
The purpose of the Americans is very clear. Using tens of thousands of cannon fodder troops to severely damage the reinforcements of the coalition forces, they are making a lot of money!
This kind of military use is naturally unimaginable for normal people, but the current US Army is no longer normal. Those who defend this country have become the bottom of society, and other classes have betrayed this country!
And the officers who command this army are also radicals, they don't care about the casualties of the soldiers!
It happened that Uncle Hei had well-developed limbs and a simple mind. They were the best cannon fodder troops. They didn't know that they were brought over to die. Maybe they still thought that they could fight three of these Japanese dwarfs!
The battle in the rear soon attracted the attention of Yusaku Uehara, who was directing the soldiers to set up camp. The dense gunfire made the veteran general realize the problem, and subconsciously said: "Send someone to see what happened behind ?”
Before the guards had gone far, an officer ran up to him and said, "Report, Your Excellency, our rear army has been attacked by the enemy. We are now fighting fiercely with the enemy, and we ask for reinforcements!"
Uehara Yusaku reacted at once, and subconsciously said: "Oops, our supplies are all in the rear army. Once it falls into the hands of the enemy, the consequences will be unimaginable! Order the third, fourth, sixteenth, and nineteenth divisions to go the same way immediately Return for reinforcements!"
When the Japanese reinforcements arrived, it was already late, and the vehicles carrying supplies behind had already been patronized by the U.S. military. There was a problem with the Molotov cocktails. How could it be possible that MacArthur was not prepared for the surprise attack?
The battle is still going on, the raging fire has already ignited, and the Japanese soldiers can only watch helplessly as the supplies are burned, and they are still busy fighting!
Under the action of the drugs, the American soldiers have now fallen into a state of frenzy. Under the cover of night, they don't know that the officer who commanded them to fight has quietly left the battlefield and disappeared into the night!
