On September 22, the Northeastern Army¡¯s flag flew in the sky over Oahu, and the remaining U.S. troops retreated in panic to Hawaii Island to continue resisting. After seizing the Ewa Airport, the outermost part of Pearl Harbor, the Northeastern Army's engineering force quickly repaired the entire airport. The naval mechanics of the 3rd Task Force then used a crane to remove the ten pieces that had been disassembled into parts from the transport ship. Six "Flying Leopard" strategic bombers were transported to the airport and the aircraft were assembled within a few hours. At 7 a.m. on the 23rd, sixteen "Flying Leopard" strategic bombers set off from Ewa Airport in Pearl Harbor and headed straight for the United States. After a long voyage of more than five hours, the "Flying Leopard" fleet, which sacrificed its bomb capacity and doubled its auxiliary fuel tanks, flew over San Francisco. Amidst the air-raid sirens that stunned the citizens of San Francisco and caught them off guard, more than 120 tons of various types of aerial bombs fell into the city. In an instant, the city of San Francisco was devastated by explosions and thick smoke, and citizens scrambled to escape. Their cries and flames soared into the sky. Ambulances and fire trucks were in chaos on the streets. The fires caused by napalm and incendiary bombs were not all extinguished until the evening. During the entire bombing, more than 300 houses and buildings were destroyed, and more than 800 Americans were killed or burned to death.
This was the first bombing of the mainland United States in nearly a century since the end of the U.S. invasion of Mexico in the mid-19th century. Although it did not cause massive damage, it was significant. Not only did it boost the morale of the officers and soldiers of the Northeastern Army who were fighting bloody battles on various battlefields in the Pacific, it also caused great panic in the western region of the United States and at home. This move of the Northeastern Army was not only to retaliate against the US military's first air strike on the mainland of China, but also to warn the Americans: the Northeastern Army of China has the ability to directly bomb the mainland of the United States. Americans who always like to "pay money but not risk their lives" will be here. The price was paid in blood in the war they started. As soon as news of the attack on San Francisco reached the White House, President Franklin Roosevelt was shocked by the news of the first bombing of the United States mainland. He asked his new secretary of defense, Admiral George Marshall, to order the Pacific Fleet to achieve a quick victory to cheer up his depression. The morale of the U.S. military and the confidence of the American people.
When the news came that the "Flying Leopard" fleet had successfully bombed the mainland of the United States, the Northeastern Army's 2nd Task Force, which was cheering loudly, had already sailed to the waters near the Northern Mariana Islands at the same longitude as Vladivostok. It was the sun at this time. At dawn before setting off, there was a thick fog on the sea, and it was difficult for searchlights to penetrate the surrounding darkness. In order to prevent warships from colliding with each other in the dense fog at night, Rear Admiral Xie Gangzhe, the captain of the aircraft carrier "Mingzu" and deputy commander of the fleet, requested to use the silent radio to give orders to the commanders of each ship to maintain the unified actions of the fleet. Fleet Commander Major General Deng Zhaoxiang flatly rejected this request without hesitation. He knew very well that in this seemingly quiet darkness and dense fog, the 6th aircraft carrier task force of the US Army Admiral Mitchell was also closely searching for his fleet. Once the radio silence was broken, the US fleet would If the position of one's own fleet is quickly detected, what will follow is the overwhelming U.S. carrier-based aircraft group and the entire 2nd Task Force being annihilated. This risk must not be taken. Since the U.S. military has never cracked the Northeastern Army's "Blackwater" code, and the Northeastern Army has been helpless with the U.S. Navy's naval code, the naval high commands of both sides can only roughly know the other's intentions, but have no idea of ??the details and specific combat plans. Not sure. At this time, the Northeastern Army's 2nd Task Force and the U.S. 6th Aircraft Carrier Fleet were like two hunters wandering in the dark forest with shotguns. Whoever discovered the other first would immediately shoot a fatal bullet.
After rejecting Deputy Commander Xie¡¯s request, Major General Deng thought of a way to alleviate the current difficulties. He ordered the service personnel on each warship to form a group of five and stand every 20 meters on both sides of the deck and at the bow and stern of the ship, waving fluorescent sticks and searchlights to keep distance from each other and conduct semaphore communication. Despite its best efforts, at 5:15 in the morning, the destroyer "Busan" accidentally hit the frigate "Tonghua" with a "bang", knocking the depth charge thrower on the stern of the ship beyond recognition.
In the war room, the fleet's staff are constantly using colored pens on the drawing board to mark the movements of the fleet and the places where the US fleet may appear. The war room was very quiet, and there was an atmosphere of simmering tension. On the watchtower of the bridge, Major General Deng looked into the sky a little anxiously, waiting for the returning reconnaissance aircraft group. At exactly 5:30 in the morning, sixteen "Petrel" reconnaissance aircraft set off from the aircraft carrier at the same time and flew in different directions to search for the US aircraft carrier fleet. Since the entire fleet has maintained radio silence and cannot communicate with the reconnaissance aircraft group, Major General Deng ordered the pilots in advance to send safety signals to the fleet headquarters every half hour.
The night of hidden crisis makes people restless. At 6 o'clock in the morning, the fog in the sky gradually turned pink, and the sun began to rise. "Yandi" aircraft carrier??The conversation in my heart is like knocking over a five-flavor bottle. After many days of directing operations at the front of the line, Major General Wainwright was unkempt and ragged, but General MacArthur in front of him was still in straight military uniform and looking as good as ever. The three gold stars on his shoulders were shining together with the polished leather shoes on his feet.
"Wen Lai" MacArthur looked a little embarrassed and hesitant, "This is an order from General Marshall and President Roosevelt. The next war in the Philippines and the command of all armies will be handed over to you from now on."
Major General Wainwright probably already knew what was going on. He said coldly and expressionlessly: "Your Excellency, what about you?"
"Wenwright," MacArthur still called Major General Wainwright's nickname very "affectionately", "our work together over the years has established an extremely deep friendship between you and me. At this critical juncture, in fact, From the bottom of my heart, I am extremely reluctant to leave you and our young men who are still fighting bloody battles. But you know that Pearl Harbor has fallen, and the two naval battles in the Western Pacific have caused us heavy losses. We have already lost one A four-star general and a lieutenant general. If another general is martyred or falls into the hands of the Northeast Army, then our morale will really suffer a heavy blow. According to the order, I will take a submarine to withdraw to Japan." MacArthur looked very sad and said, "Wen Lai, you have to know that I left not because of my own survival, but because of my rank of general and the honor of the American army." He patted him reluctantly. Major General Wainwright, who looked almost numb, said, "Do your best! Don't worry, I will definitely come back!"
Major General Wainwright still looked at MacArthur expressionlessly. He teased coldly: "Then I wish you a pleasant journey. Don't encounter the Northeastern Army's submarine on the way, Your Excellency, Admiral."
"Admiral, you can go, the submarine is waiting for you at the dock." Two staff officers came in and urged. Their faces were filled with an unconcealable eagerness to leave the city as soon as possible.
At night, the entire city of Manila was shrouded in flames, and soldiers and civilians scrambled to escape in disorder on the streets. MacArthur and his party sat in the car with difficulty and staggered towards the Manila Harbor under the guidance of the military police. Along the way, MacArthur looked at Manila as if it was doomsday and remained silent. Just when he was at a loss, the deafening roar of airplanes sounded again in the night sky. Then, thousands of leaflets and a large number of aerial bombs fell like snowflakes, and then fairy flowers scattered in the night sky. Thousands of umbrella flowers bloomed.
"Paratroopers of the Northeastern Army!" MacArthur's heart suddenly shook.
After the Battle of the Philippines started, Zhang Xueliang knew very well that he could not let MacArthur return to the mountains. At the same time, he wanted to vent his anger on the Chinese People's Volunteers who had died in the Korean Peninsula "in history", so he became the 1st and 2nd Amphibious Forces. When the army was preparing to attack Manila, the 29th Airborne Brigade transferred from Novosibirsk was also dispatched at this last moment to capture MacArthur. For a time, in the sky above Manila, which was illuminated by fire, thousands of elite paratroopers from the Northeast Army controlled delta-wing paramotors and flew directly to the headquarters of the U.S-Philippine Army according to the map of Manila provided by Li Qingquan.
The adjutant, Major McLaughlin, got out of the car and picked up a leaflet dropped by the Northeast Army. The contents were all written in English. After just reading a few lines, Major McLaughlin turned pale and his lips trembled. He suppressed the despair in his heart and handed the leaflet to MacArthur.
The leaflet says:
Admiral Douglas MacArthur, we already know your plan to sneak away to Japan on a submarine from Manila Harbor, so our submarine force is waiting for you outside the harbor. General MacArthur, your Pacific Fleet has been completely defeated in the Pacific. The Mariana Islands have been occupied by us. Even Pearl Harbor, the main base of your navy, has been captured by our army. Now, your fleet has escaped to 4,000 nautical miles away from you. of the Aleutian Islands. Give up the illusion of self-deception, you have no wings to fly. Whether to sink to the bottom of the sea with the submarine or surrender gracefully, I hope you make the right choice.
In the weird atmosphere, MacArthur¡¯s face looked confusing in the flickering firelight around him. No one could see the expression on his face clearly. He remained silent for several minutes. In the panic-stricken eyes of everyone, MacArthur suddenly burst into flames. He pulled out the pistol his father had left him with a "swish" sound and pointed it directly at his temple. "Admiral" Everyone looked at him in horror and at a loss.
"I think if my father was still alive, he would never want to see the son he had placed such high hopes on in such a miserable state." MacArthur said calmly, and then looked at his adjutant, "Laurin, thank you for so many years. Thank you for your hard work by coming to my side." And without hesitation, he pulled the trigger.
On October 5, the Northeastern Army captured Manila. Major General Wainwright and more than 65,000 American and Filipino troops in the city surrendered to the Northeastern Army.
On October 7, the Northeastern Army occupied the entire territory of Luzon Island; on the 10th, the U.S. troops stationed in Panay Island and other areas stopped resisting. By the 15th, the Northeastern Army successfully occupied the entire Philippines. The Philippines was renamed "China Southeast Asia Autonomous Northern Region" and became Chinese territory. Within a month of the beginning of the Pacific War, the Northeast Army achieved an unprecedented and brilliant victory and became the master of three-quarters of the Pacific Ocean.
