Robinson is actually a little confused about what he is doing now. He is an American who personally experienced the 9ll incident and witnessed the collapse of the Twin Towers. Since then, this man who originally had a high-paying job and social status chose to leave the life he had established and start a new life again. Return to the army. He had only one thought in his mind at that time, and that was revenge. After the name of Al Qaeda spread, Robinson dreamed many times that he personally unscrewed bin Laden's head. When it was rumored that the US military would attack Afghanistan, the country that harbors Al Qaeda, Robinson was also full of fighting spirit. He wanted to kill the terrorists. They are all wiped out.
But things quickly changed qualitatively. No one knew how the war on terrorism that the United States was originally going to wage turned into a world war with China inadvertently. There is also a saying in the military that China is the main culprit in supporting terrorist attacks on the United States. As long as China is defeated, all problems will be solved. Perhaps this statement can deceive ordinary Americans with an IQ of no more than 100, but for the insightful Robinson, he understands what actually happened - politicians and interest groups have shifted the blame, and the United States does not need To fight against terrorism, we need to strive for hegemony.
This is actually a very ridiculous logic. In order to fight against terrorism, to challenge a superpower, in the end, send thousands of men and women who cannot be harmed by terrorists to the battlefield, and then die among the Chinese tank main guns and missiles. Next, is this war really fought for the so-called national security? Of course not, wars are always fought for the benefit of a small number of capitalists in this country. Of course they will claim that it is for the benefit of all Americans. No one can deny that the general public in the United States will benefit from it, but the benefits are huge and huge. Are people with a dime the same?
Robinson felt like a fool who had fallen into such a scam so easily, but at this time it was impossible for him to get out. If he left the army, he would be labeled a deserter, and his honor and reputation would be at stake. It will cause destruction and make it difficult to move forward in society.
So far, Robinson can only anesthetize and hypnotize himself, allowing himself to stubbornly believe that he is doing a great cause and is creating happiness and security for the vast number of compatriots. Even though he is already farther and farther away from such a path.
In order to capture Madagascar, the U.S. military dispatched two large-scale division-level units, the Army's 4th Infantry Division and the 2nd Marine Division, plus scattered auxiliary units, with a total combat personnel of nearly 30,000. Robinson himself belongs to the 2nd Marine Division. His troops were arranged to take helicopters from the US Army Wasp-class amphibious assault ship and vertically land in Madagascar for combat.
Before the entire battle, the United States and other NATO countries did not declare war on Madagascar, and everything was carried out in this atmosphere of pretending as if nothing had happened. Of course, in fact, China and the United States have not officially declared war so far, even though the two sides have been in a state of substantial war for a long time.
The Madagascar army has no ability to hinder such a large-scale landing operation by the US military. The country has only 2 tanks in total and only a little over a hundred artillery pieces. The vast majority of Madagascar soldiers only use light weapons. They have no idea about high-end things like anti-aircraft missiles. Without equipment, there is naturally no ability to resist the Americans' strong vertical landing.
"Quick, quick, we have to capture Toliara within 40 minutes. The Army's landlubbers are still waiting to come over by boat." The Marines were very relaxed when facing Madagascar, which had almost no defense. He even had time to tease his allies.
The location they chose to land at is more than ten kilometers south of Toliara, an important city in southern Madagascar. It is convenient for assembly. After the assembly is completed, the US military will launch an attack on this important port city, even though there is almost nothing decent here. garrison.
In addition to the Marine Corps helicopter landing, the US military also has many LCAC air-cushion landing craft to conduct raids directly from the sea. These LCACs generally carry some armored vehicles, such as the US military's M Bradley infantry fighting vehicle, Piranha/History Trek armored vehicles and more. Generally speaking, big guys like Nl will not appear on it, and even if they do, they will be in very small numbers. Furthermore, since they are attacking a small country with a weak military like Madagascar, the US military does not need excessive equipment and firepower.
Robinson held the MAI carbine in his hand and looked at the many B18 Hornets of the US military whizzing past in the sky. He thought that the US military was still very cautious in this action. Even though Madagascar did not have any power that could threaten the US military, the US military was still worried. The Chinese naval aviation launched an attack on the landing US troops. At this time, sufficient fighter jets were naturally needed to provide sky cover for the US military ground forces in action.
The focus of this Madagascar battle is actually one thing, and that is speed. Only speed can occupy a favorable situation first, thereby forming the greatest battlefield advantage over the enemy. After this battlefield advantage can be maintained, it can be used throughout the southwest Indian Ocean. form a strategic advantage in the area and remove the enemy from this area?Expelled.
Unsurprisingly, Tuliara was quickly occupied by the US military. It is also one of the few ports in Madagascar that can berth relatively large-tonnage ships, and the port conditions are relatively good, especially suitable for shelter. After it was taken over by the US military, the US Army's 4th Infantry Division Being able to calmly land on Madagascar from here, the US military's heavy troops can successfully control the island. Even if the Chinese army launches an attack, it can effectively counterattack it.
Robinson led his soldiers to maintain order in Tuliara. He saw the eyes of the locals were full of confusion and panic, but fortunately, no one had the courage to challenge the authority of the US military. No one provoked, which is also true. Makes their job a little easier.
At this time, Robinson's military radio rang: "It is reported that the Chinese PLA has launched an attack on Diego Suarez at the northern tip of Madagascar. There is no information about Chinese aircraft crossing the center line of the island to attack our troops."
A Marine shouted: "Are they coming, the Chinese? It's finally time to kick the butts of these little-eyed, pan-faced people." Their eyes are smaller than those of Caucasians (at least those living in North America), and their faces are not as angular as those of Europeans and Americans, so many racists will use words like frying pan to describe Chinese people.
Robinson is highly educated and is averse to some racial slurs, but he doesn't know how to say anything. That would make him seem particularly alienated from his team, which is not conducive to his leadership.
Another soldier said: "The cIuk are still very powerful, at least more powerful than Asan. Look at them now, they have beaten the shit out of those big Baotou people. The northeastern part of India has been completely occupied by the Chinese. I'm afraid if we can't After China is completely defeated, that area will become Chinese territory. Lieutenant, I heard that there are also yellow-skinned monkeys in Northeast India, right?"
Robinson nodded and said: "Well, yes, most of the residents there are Mongolian, and they are culturally and ethnically similar to some ethnic minorities in China."
"Oh, in this case it's okay for cIuks to take it back, haha. Indians are really not very pleasing to the eye, and it is said that they have a special hobby for rape. The locals are definitely not as welcoming to Indians as they are to Chinese people."
The soldiers continued to joke, "Hey guys, do you know why there are so many Chinese and Indians?"
"Tell me."
"I have discovered a truth, that is, the smaller races have lower self-esteem, so they like to do those things randomly. The more they do, the more children they will have, haha, right?"
"Haha, it seems to be true."
Robinson's brows furrowed even more. He didn't mind if his soldiers were sarcastic to the enemy. This was sometimes a good way to improve morale and increase cohesion, but it was obvious that his soldiers had no response to the formidable opponent like China. Some were in awe, even though the Chinese severely defeated the US fleet not long ago. For the soldiers of the Marine Corps, although they are the Navy, they are not the Navy, so the Navy's setbacks have no educational significance for them.
"You guys, you better cheer up. The Chinese have never lost a battle in these years. We will not be stronger than the Chinese army in any way. If we are still so conceited, we will be humiliated in the end. The person may be ourselves." Robinson said seriously, trying to use words that his soldiers could accept.
Robinson has good personality and popularity, and is friendly to his subordinates, so even if the soldiers disagree with what he says, they don't contradict him. However, Robinson can sense that his soldiers don't seem to buy it, so he is even more worried. .
His worries are naturally very realistic. At the same time, in the north of Madagascar, China has assembled as many as three amphibious battle groups and more than sixty Riptide A landing ships. With the support and cover of the main force of the Indian Ocean Fleet's aircraft carrier fleet, China A heavy force of more than 10,000 Marines was sent onto land.
Similar to the U.S. troops who landed in the south, the Chinese PLA basically encountered no resistance from the Malagasy people. After seeing the Chinese, the Malagasy army immediately surrendered without firing a single shot. Even in this major offensive, the Chinese army was slightly behind the US military, but they were more prepared than the Americans.
The first batch of two battalion-level short-range missile battalions were deployed in Diego Suarez. They targeted the US military landing troops and prepared to give them a big gift.
