Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

After the Brazilian Civil War, the United States regarded southern Africa as its biggest imaginary enemy.

Not counting MacArthur who was dawdling in the Philippines, real soldiers such as Nimitz and Halsey regarded the failure of the Brazilian Civil War as the greatest shame. They all dreamed of defeating the southern Africans.

The reality is desperate. The troops sent to Brazil from Southern Africa are not even the real Southern African Expeditionary Force, but stragglers from the Umbrella Company. Even so, the performance of the US military on the battlefield is far from the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company.

There is still a disappointing gap.

Nimitz and Halsey were in the navy, they had not fought head-on with the southern Africans, and they still harbored illusions about it.

The world war exposed the true strength of southern Africa. The United States has updated two generations of aircraft carriers since the outbreak of the world war. Even the latest "Midway" class, its combat effectiveness is at most the same as the "City" class aircraft carriers in southern Africa.

The "City" class in Southern Africa is already a model 20 years ago, and the "Island" class has been in service for nearly ten years. It is rumored that the next generation aircraft carrier in Southern Africa will use nuclear power and be equipped with jet fighters and long-range precision guidance.

As for rockets, the Americans haven't even studied precision-guided bombs yet, and nuclear power is even further away.

"Both Southern Africa and Germany have used jet fighters in actual combat. Even British jet fighters have been commissioned into the army. Where are our jet fighters?" Halsey was very disappointed. The scientific and technological capabilities of the United States are not as good as those of the South.

Compared with Germany, Africa is indeed a bit weak.

Even if it is not as good as southern Africa and Germany.

But if it can't even compare to the UK, that's really unacceptable.

Just last month, the British Gloster "Meteor" jet fighter was officially equipped with troops, mainly used to deal with German V-series rockets.

The United States has also begun research on jet fighters. The design team led by Alexander Katveli of Republic Company tried to directly use the fuselage of the P-47 to install the jet engine, but soon found that it was impractical and had to start from scratch.

start.

With the pioneers of Southern Africa, Germany, and the United Kingdom, most obstacles have been cleared for the United States to research jet fighters. However, the Americans are still faced with difficulties and are unlikely to succeed in a short time.

"There may be news about the jet aircraft at the end of the year." Nimitz was not sure about the progress of the jet aircraft.

The problem in the United States is that resource allocation is unreasonable and all resources cannot be coordinated. Major aircraft companies conduct independent research and development, which naturally increases the difficulty exponentially.

Southern Africa and Germany are both good at concentrating their efforts on big things. The UK got a German Messerschmitt ME-262 fighter jet, which is why it made such rapid progress in jet aircraft.

"Jets are only one aspect, what about the others?" Halsey sees no hope. The gap between the United States and southern Africa is all-encompassing.

The biggest problem of the United States is that it is big but not strong. It is involved in almost all aspects, but it has not made much progress.

Nimitz was speechless. He also knew the problem, but unfortunately there was no way to solve it.

While Halsey and Nimitz fell silent, the landing force launched another attack on Xianguan.

There is no such thing as a servant army having to retreat to the rear to rest after suffering heavy casualties. Even if they fight to the last man, they will die on the beach.

Of course, this is only for soldiers, and officers are not among those killed in battle, so Danny and White ordered the supervising team to use heavy machine guns to force the servants to continue the attack.

"If you attack, you will either die on the battlefield or be executed. There is no third option." Danny's attitude was firm and he did not care about the casualties at all.

"Wait a minute, we need more artillery shells." White did not pity his soldiers, but hoped that the sacrifices would be more valuable.

Attacking now is unrealistic.

After being counterattacked by the Japanese army, the slave army was accidentally bombed by our own bombers, and their morale was extremely low. At this time, they were forced to continue fighting, and they might switch sides in the face of the battle.

At the starting position not far from the supervising team, Warrant Officer Roosevelt and Xiao Dao were gathering the remaining soldiers.

Like most Filipinos, Warrant Officer Roosevelt's parents gave Roosevelt an American name when he was born.

The reason why it is called "Roosevelt" is because the president of the United States was Theodore Roosevelt the year Roosevelt was born.

When the Japanese army counterattacked, Company A was at the forefront of the attack formation and suffered heavy casualties from the intensive Japanese counterattack.

When the bombers started bombing, Company A was the slowest to retreat and was pursued by the bombers. When the bombing was over, only 21 of the 120-man company were left to continue fighting.

"Sir, help me, I don't want to die -" a soldier whose retreat was blown up begged. If he could get treatment in time, he might still be able to save his life.

Roosevelt was at a loss. The starting position was now full of wounded soldiers who needed treatment, and most of them could not receive treatment.

The medical configuration in the US military is actually quite good. Medical soldiers are deployed up to the company level. Almost all officers and soldiers have received training in field medical care. They carry a simple medical kit with them and can handle simple injuries on their own.

Servant officers and soldiers have never received medical training. Although there is a medical kit, it only contains a roll of bandages and a pack of so-called hemostatic drugs with unknown effects.

As a translator, Kojima has received training in this area, but it is limited to simple bandaging, and he does not even have the ability to suture wounds.

Kojima is currently helping a soldier with an injured leg to stop bleeding. This is only treating the symptoms, not the root cause. Without further treatment, the wound will be difficult to heal.

"Sir, please, my mother is still waiting for me to come home. I don't want to die here -" the wounded soldier with a broken leg was still pleading, his voice getting weaker and weaker.

If this situation is not treated in time, he will soon die from excessive blood loss.

"The only thing I can do is pray for you." Roosevelt was very sad. He had almost seen his fate. If he broke his leg, he would have to wait for death.

"Pray - okay - let's die together -" the wounded soldier smiled miserably and spread his hand. In his hand was a grenade with the ring pulled open.

Finally, the Americans are not so stingy that they don’t even give grenades.

It's a pity that this grenade was not used against the Japanese, but was used to kill our own people.

"What the hell are you—" Roosevelt had quick eyes and quick hands, and pulled the wounded soldier who was laughing crazily over, and pressed him firmly on the grenade.

boom--

The grenade exploded under the wounded soldier, and his body was blown up more than a foot high. Roosevelt was also shocked and opened his mouth to vomit blood.

"Sir, are you okay?" Xiaodao was stunned by the changes in front of him. He came back to his senses and quickly asked about Roosevelt's situation.

"Ahem, do you think I'm fine?" There was blood spilling from the corner of Roosevelt's mouth, and it looked like he was seriously injured.

At this time, another attack whistle sounded, and Roosevelt and the island were stunned at the same time.

There are only 20 people left in the company of more than 100 people. If it is replaced by any other unit, it can be judged to have lost the ability to attack and must be withdrawn to the rear to rest.

"Attack, attack immediately, or you will all die!" The command of the supervising team was extremely cruel, and Roosevelt and Kojima knew very well that they did what they said.

"Follow me later -" Roosevelt climbed up from the ground with difficulty, holding onto the pistol in his hand.

"What should we do?" Xiao Dao looked desperate. He didn't want to die here.

Roosevelt did not say anything, and took the initiative to leave the starting position and stumbled away from Xianguan.

At this time, there is no need to form a team. Their only value is to consume more ammunition from the defenders.

This is quite meaningful. After all, everyone knows that the Japanese army has insufficient supplies. When the defenders' ammunition is exhausted, the real American soldiers will calmly clean up the mess.

In the bombing just now, the defenders suffered heavy losses. The previously intact villa area has now turned into a sea of ​​flames. Several burning men lying in the middle of the street are still burning. There are no Japanese troops to help put out the fire. It is obvious that the defenders

The army is also determined to die, the difference is just that it will happen sooner or later.

It was not the defenders who fired first, but the supervising team behind the starting position.

Not all the servant soldiers were as wise as Roosevelt. After the attack order was issued, many of the servant soldiers did not leave the starting position, so the supervisory team did not hesitate to shoot, which saved many wounded soldiers from the pain, and they were finally relieved.

Xiao Dao followed Roosevelt, not very fast. Roosevelt was observing along the way. Xiao Dao noticed that there were craters caused by aerial bombs near the route Roosevelt chose.

"Be smart, lie down as soon as the gun is fired, and then crawl into the crater and pretend to be dead until dark-" Roosevelt's voice was low, and before he could finish his words, intensive gunshots rang out.

Xiaodao was very obedient. He fell down as soon as the gunfire rang out, rolled and crawled towards a crater.

Roosevelt failed to follow him. The injury he had just suffered seriously affected his mobility, and he was hit by a bullet before he could even lie down.

The island had no time to mourn for Roosevelt, so it hid in the bomb crater and was not out of danger. There was still suffering to follow.

Seeing that the last attacking servant soldier was knocked down by the defenders, Nimitz and Halsey put down their binoculars at the same time.

"Garbage is garbage. It has no meaning. In the end, we have to solve the problem." Halsey didn't feel bad. Cannon fodder is meant to be consumed.

"Isn't it the Southern Africans' turn to attack next?" Nimitz looked forward to the performance of the Southern African Expeditionary Force. No matter who won, Nimitz would be very happy.

It would be good for the Southern African Expeditionary Force to capture Xiaguan. If the Southern African Expeditionary Force also suffered heavy casualties, Nimitz would not be too sad. For him, the Japanese and Southern Africans were both opponents.

The Southern African Expeditionary Force was more patient than the servant army. When the servant army launched the second attack, amphibious tanks belonging to the Marine Corps had already rushed to the beach, and the engineering troops also began to build simple docks to prepare for the landing of heavy tanks.

.

There was originally a port in Xiaguan, but unfortunately it was bombed by the Japanese army two months ago and cannot be used.

Even if it hadn't been blown up, the expeditionary force would not have rashly landed at the port. No one knew whether the crazy Japanese had planted explosives at the port. What if the Japanese detonated the explosives when the expeditionary force landed, it would be a lot of fun.

.

"To deal with these Japanese, light tanks are enough -" Halsey said with disdain, but did not see what he wanted to see.

The best outcome for Halsey is naturally that both the Japanese army and the southern Africans will suffer losses.

This situation is definitely something Halsey doesn't want to see.

After the amphibious tanks of the Marine Corps have strengthened armor, their defensive power is comparable to that of medium tanks, which is enough to deal with the Japanese army that lacks anti-tank weapons.

The Southern African Expeditionary Force did not take risks. After landing, they first stabilized the beachhead. The amphibious tanks were surrounded by sandbags, with only the turrets exposed on top. Abandoned gasoline barrels were also placed on the outermost periphery. As long as they kept pouring gasoline, these barrels would be destroyed.

Will keep burning.

"Be patient, this is a good opportunity to learn." Nimitz was also patient. He wanted to take this opportunity to take a closer look at the gap between the US military and the Southern African Expeditionary Force.

In fact, it's not that big. In terms of equipment level, the expeditionary force basically has all the American troops. The biggest difference is actually in attitude.

American soldiers give people the impression that even though they are fully equipped, they are careless and unreliable.

The Southern African Expeditionary Force moved steadily, and its defensive positions were laid out meticulously. They were not as harsh on the American servants as the Americans. When setting up their defensive positions, they even rescued several servants, including Xiaodao.

"Hey, are you okay?" Xiaodao, who was lying in the crater in fear, finally heard his natural voice.

An expeditionary soldier noticed the motionless island in the crater. He was very experienced and could tell at a glance that the island was pretending to be dead.

Kojima was still inexperienced. Although he had blood on his face, the marks on his fingers were still very obvious. If the Japanese army discovered this, they would not waste any time and just refill the gun first.

Of course, it could also be a last-hit shot.

Xiaodao opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, the amphibious tank next to him suddenly started shooting.

The expeditionary force has relatively high requirements for the beachhead, and the outer defense line is relatively wide. Some buildings are a bit in the way and must be cleared.

Wooden houses do not use artillery. They are the same as those in Zhihu in front of large-caliber machine guns. If a long point is fired, the entire building will be cut off. The wooden walls and furniture in the room will even be ignited, burning, and the island will be burned.

Seeing it brought tears to my eyes.

If the servant army had such firepower, how could it suffer such heavy casualties?

In that case, Roosevelt would not have to die. Although Kojima and Roosevelt had not known each other for a long time, Kojima had already regarded Roosevelt as his friend.

"Can you speak? What's wrong with you?" The expeditionary soldier squatting beside the crater changed to English, and the assault rifle in his hand pointed clearly at the island.

Xiaodao took one look at his military uniform and suddenly came to his senses.

"I'm fine, I was stunned by the shell just now -" This time there was no need to wipe the blood, and Kojima's face turned red.

Pretending to be dead on the battlefield is an irrefutable shame for a soldier.
