Volume 2: Raising Sail, Chapter 1136: Why is a victory so difficult?

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Truman had lowered his expectations to just one victorious battle, but this expectation seemed to be getting farther and farther away, as if it required a promise from God.

    Bad news continues to come from all over the world. In addition to the regrets expressed by the Allied brothers, the American troops that have not yet withdrawn from the mainland are constantly encountering global snipers from the Chinese army.

    Specific news from the Philippines has been sent back.

    After China used missiles and aircraft carriers to blockade the Pacific waters east of the Philippines, the shrinking U.S. fleet could no longer support the Philippines, and it was even difficult to send a fleet to withdraw its troops.

    ¡°If it were in a previous life, for the sake of publicity, Americans might send out a rescue team for a single soldier.  But now that the local area is facing a crisis, everything has become more realistic.

    "You can only rely on yourselves!" The regretful truth from the top management shattered the American soldiers' dream of returning home.

    " Worried that Chinese fighter jets and submarines would sink the slow-moving troop transport, the top US officials did not even want the soldiers to come back by boat themselves. After all, the Philippine fleet, which has been constantly redeploying the main fleet, could not provide them with sufficient escort force.  Rather than being sunk or captured by Chinese warships at sea, it is better to stay in some fortresses in the Philippines that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as they can persist until the United States changes everything with a victory, the subsequent peace talks will allow these soldiers to go home in an upright manner.

    But the American soldiers didn't appreciate it at all. No one thought they could hold out for so long amid the fierce offensive of the Chinese army.  They felt abandoned, especially when they saw the US military generals boarding planes to evacuate first, they lost their fighting spirit.

    Even the U.S. military commander is not optimistic about the outcome of holding on.  Although Americans are quite tolerant of people who wear the prison hat, they will still miss many opportunities to climb up.

    So they all used their connections to find reasons to evacuate the Philippines.

    It's just that the sea and air channels leading to Guam have been completely blocked by the Chinese. Even the newly commissioned jet fighters dare not say that they are absolutely sure to rush over. Even the submarines that have always been hidden under the sea have been blocked by the Chinese in the Pacific.  The airship was forced out of the water.

    When they fell from despair to despair, they got a piece of news out of desperation: the Chinese navy and HNA were not strong enough and had only blocked the passage to Guam, but not the passage to Japan.

    Japan has almost been forgotten by American soldiers.

    The Americans, who suffered heavy losses when the Chinese burned Tokyo, did not wait for the Chinese army to attack.  However, a wave of refugees from the remaining Japanese people ushered in.

    Americans soon discovered that they had a big burden on their backs.  Initially to show their kindness.  Americans are in charge of everything Japanese people eat, drink, and eat in Tokyo, but the Japanese, who have had their land wiped out three floors by the Chinese, really can't afford to pay a few bucks for it. Americans gradually find that they are dragging down millions of people.  The Japanese refugees were simply a logistical disaster, especially when the Chinese continued to harass them.

    It is difficult to get rid of this burden. We can only gradually withdraw the troops and give up the power of management to the Japanese themselves.  They are good at managing their own people, and can train them to become like ninja turtles who can adapt to any harsh conditions.

    The United States also chose to allow the remaining old and weak Japanese to fend for themselves in disease, hunger and cold.  Surrounded by Chinese armies gathering and always shrouded in the shadow of Chinese bombers, the Americans had long given up on using this place as a springboard.  Being burned by fire once is enough. Americans are not stupid.

    So in the end, the US military almost forgot about the place where only a few thousand troops were left guarding the ruins of the port.

    "China seems to have forgotten this place, when tens of millions of troops are fighting all over the world.  He actually gave up on Tokyo, Japan, right under his nose.  Perhaps China has burned Tokyo to rubble. A large number of Japanese remnants shouting for revenge against China are all old, weak, sick and disabled. Even the American soldiers only number in the thousands. They are all at the airport and port.  In the case of being destroyed, there is no need to worry at all.

    But this forgotten place gives Filipino Americans hope.  According to American intelligence, the Chinese navy, which is attacking everywhere, is not strong enough after all. While blocking the waters between the Philippines and Guam, a weak defense zone appears in the waters east of Taiwan.

    Think of Taiwan¡¯s air power and Vanguard artillery.  The Americans have no intention of raiding Taiwan.  However, they can take advantage of this weak defense zone and escape to Japan.  Then retreat to Guam until returning to the mainland.

    Perhaps China is too busy with Guam and not Japan. When some U.S. transport planes escaped at the beginning, there was no interception.  I heard that the Chinese side even dealt with a group of arrogant commanders in Taiwan regarding this matter to warn the entire army.

     In short, the Americans saw hope, and more and more planes of various types continued to take off from the Philippines and fly to Japan.  Even the US military ships in the Philippines took the opportunity to sail out of the heavily defended harbor and fled towards Japan.

    There was a chaotic evacuation of the remaining 330,000 U.S. troops stationed in the Philippines.

    After all, there are too few tools to evacuate, and the weak defense area that China has omitted will not last long. The Chinese who react may block it again at any time, and even those land aviation fighters who are familiar with maritime conditions can also get away from it.  The passage not far from Taiwan forms a certain w¨¥ixi¨¦.

    This opportunity gave hope to the US military in the Philippines, but it also brought panic and chaos to them.

    Only a few people evacuated first, but most of the remaining American troops lost their fighting spirit and were defeated by the oncoming Chinese army.

    The speed of their defeat was beyond everyone's expectations.

    In view of the fact that some U.S. troops surrendered to Filipino natives and were directly tortured and massacred, U.S. commanders have warned their soldiers that even if they surrender, they must surrender to the Chinese. At least the Chinese treat prisoners much more civilly, and they also allow ransoms.

    Those US troops who had no hope of evacuating wisely chose to surrender directly to the invading Chinese army. Whether they fought or fled, their lives were in danger, so it was better to surrender directly.  Anyway, those soldiers don't need to worry about promotion, nor do they need to care too much about honor. After experiencing the cruel battlefield, they care more about their own lives and their families.  Especially in this situation where the United States is unable to rescue.

    The Philippines fell rapidly at a speed unimaginable by the US government. Only 300,000 of the 330,000 troops fled to the Tokyo area of ??Japan, leaving 230,000 Chinese prisoners, including 50,000 who surrendered at sea, and less than 3 million remaining.  Together, the indigenous Filipinos contributed greatly to the reconstruction of the Philippines, which was divided into three states.

    "Compared with the outcome in the Philippines, which the top US officials had long expected, the fact that more than 700,000 US troops stationed in Europe were defeated in such a spectacular manner shocked them even more.

    Although the United States is shrinking its withdrawal, it cannot withdraw all at once.  There are still some troops stationed in France, Belgium, Italy, Norway, Greece and other places. One is to give the allies some confidence, and the other is for the desire to counterattack in the bottom of my heart.

    Washington estimated that these U.S. troops, with their advantageous location, people and people, could cause some trouble to the Chinese, but they did not expect that they would also be vulnerable.

    Especially after the United States was invaded by the Chinese army, the American troops in Europe collapsed at the drop of a hat.

    Sometimes morale is so unpredictable. When the wind blows, American soldiers will fight to the end.  But once they are in adversity, those young soldiers will never fight for another person's territory for one more minute.

    Since the Battle of Beihai, the strength of the Chinese army has been exaggerated.  The seemingly irresistible missiles, jet fighters, super-heavy tanks, vanguard cannons, etc. seemed to be like a huge stone weighing on the heart, creating a general trend of the Allied brothers falling to China like dominoes, and completely destroying those  American soldiers were crushed.

    The Chinese Navy was still unable to blockade the Atlantic Ocean. After leaving 90,000 prisoners, the U.S. troops in other places quickly withdrew to the mainland. Only the 350,000 U.S. troops in Italy and Greece were completely blocked in the Mediterranean Sea. After 70,000 battle losses, the collective erections were  A white flag was raised.

    The U.S. military just waved its hands without taking away a single screw, and completely withdrew from Europe in despair. Looking across the sea dryly at the Chinese people proudly scraping the soil of Europe.

    After Americans withdrew from Europe, Africa also gave up on its own initiative.  Except for the 50,000 troops stationed with the British in West Africa, other troops have withdrawn to their homeland and will no longer meaninglessly harass Africa.

    Today¡¯s Africa, with the support of the old imperial forces and China, has evolved into a great melee between tribes and ethnic groups. The Arabs who were expelled to Africa by China have intensified this struggle.

    For the sake of China's future interests in Africa, Meng Xiang could only say sorry when faced with the African natives who were more fertile and reproducible than the Chinese. He used the tactics used by Britain, the United States and France to deal with Africans in later generations, and also allowed the copycats and umbrella companies to make a lot of money.  Full.  Although Africans do not have much money to spare, they can cede various tribal resources.

    Through a series of divisions, migrations, immigrants and bandit suppression, China¡¯s overseas territories in Africa are constantly expanding.

    But Americans are frustrated to find that their circle of influence is constantly shrinking.  Even the Australian islands in the South Pacific were constantly lost due to the active attacks of the Chinese fleet.  Even in the back garden of the United States, the cleared American troops were beaten and fled in confusion by the Chinese army, which had only tens of thousands of people in total.

    "Why is it so difficult to win?" Truman looked up to the sky with stars in his head and sighed.

    "God bless, we can only watch local miracles in the future!  "In the end, he had no choice but to decide on a new plan for local operations. (To be continued)
