Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2294

The helicopter brings not only supplies, but also the hope of survival.

Fred's only regret was that the helicopter arrived too late. If it had come earlier, C Company would have suffered fewer casualties.

The hand-to-hand combat was indeed cruel. Just at that moment, including the reinforcement battalion headquarters company, a total of 37 people from the Second Battalion were killed in battle, and the rest were all wounded.

The casualties of the Japanese army were even greater, including those burned to death by incendiary bombs. The casualties of the Japanese army are estimated to be more than 500. From the beginning of the battle to the present, the Second Battalion has played an exchange ratio of nearly one to ten, which shows the strength of the fighting power.

By the time the transport helicopter landed, the battle was over.

The soldiers moved the supplies from the transport helicopter, and carried the seriously wounded to the rear for treatment. All the lightly wounded refused to retreat, and they wanted revenge on the Japanese.

The moment the helicopter appeared, the Japanese commander had already realized that the task of completely annihilating this southern African force was no longer possible.

The Japanese commander did not love to fight, and voluntarily withdrew from the battle, ending this tragic encounter.

After the final statistical results came out, Eric couldn't help but get red eyes.

The Second Battalion fought terribly. More than half of the troops with more than 500 people were killed or injured. Company C, which suffered the heaviest loss, had only one squad left after the battle. In this battle, 230 people from the Villamatza Infantry Regiment were killed and more than 270 people were injured. Dozens had to have their limbs amputated, leaving them permanently disabled.

Compared with the Villamatza infantry regiment, the Japanese army only left more than 2500 corpses, and the total number of casualties is unknown. Southern Africa also captured more than a dozen Japanese soldiers. These Japanese soldiers all died shortly after being captured due to their injuries. .

The results of the battle were reported to the headquarters, and a conflict broke out between Angie and MacArthur.

If the troops maintain a normal offensive rhythm and advance steadily, and do not rush forward, then this battle is completely avoidable.

As long as it is not surrounded by the Japanese army with an absolute superiority, the southern African army has enough strength to compete with the Japanese army. The Villamatza infantry regiment is out of touch because of the pursuit of speed, and the forward troops carry insufficient ammunition, which is why it is so difficult. If With enough ammunition, even if the Japanese army sent a division over, it would be difficult to eat the Villamatza infantry.

Compared with the Villamatza Infantry Regiment, the Rainbow Division's troops were also surrounded, but the result was completely different. The Villamatza Infantry Regiment played an amazing exchange ratio, but the surrounded troops of the Rainbow Division were wiped out.

This battle also made MacArthur realize the role of helicopters. The role of helicopters in ground support and transport of materials and wounded is too prominent, and it is more practical than fighters and transport planes high above.

Although fighter jets have low requirements on the runway, at least the runway must be flat to take off smoothly.

The helicopter has almost no requirements for the terrain, as long as the buildings or trees around the site do not interfere with the helicopter's rotor.

Even if the trees and buildings are too dense, it doesn't matter. The helicopter can hover and lower the pod, so that the task can still be completed.

MacArthur hoped that An Qi could give more support to the First Dahong Division and the Rainbow Division. It would be best to directly send some helicopters to the US military. With the industrial capabilities of the US, as long as they get samples, they can be imitated.

In fact, the United States has also begun research on helicopters. Even in another time and space, the world's first real helicopter was made by Americans.

In this time and space, southern Africa started earlier, and the research on helicopters is far ahead of the United States. Now the helicopter technology of the United States is far behind that of southern Africa, and there is still a long way to go before it can be put into combat. Walk.

Angie would definitely not give the helicopter to MacArthur, and even refused to send a helicopter to support the US military.

It is possible to support the U.S. military. Fighters are responsible for air combat, transport planes are responsible for transporting supplies, and airdrops can be used if they cannot land. In addition to being unable to transport the wounded, the efficiency is also very high.

"You southern Africans are human beings. Are we Americans not human beings?" MacArthur was furious. In his opinion, Angie was clearly disregarding human life.

"Mike, I never said that you Americans are not human. It's just that our current helicopters are not enough to provide support to Mindoro." An Qi is not afraid that MacArthur will sue, and it is not that he has not.

The relationship between southern Africa and the United States is very wonderful. There is competition in the cooperation. The ultimate goal of the two countries is to break the monopoly of Britain and France on the colonies. So what happens after the break?

One thing is certain, there will be no war between southern Africa and the United States because of the struggle for colonies, at most it will be a proxy war like Brazil, and no one can bear the consequences of direct war.

The two most industrially powerful countries in the world are at war, and no one will give up unless they are exhausted.

Such a loss is too serious for the two countries, and the gains outweigh the losses, so let's compete with each other in a relatively peaceful way.

Since it is a competition, then each other has to guard against each other. MacArthur also knows that the US military is not strong enough now, and it is a little advantage to take advantage of it.

"Are we still allies? We have a common enemy. We only need to send helicopters to open the passage for the Dahong [-]st Division and the Rainbow Division. Our operations in Mindoro can open up the situation. You are the commander-in-chief of the theater. You should serve This is responsible." MacArthur took the initiative to set up Angie, he is actually the commander of the theater, and the Pacific theater was established after the United States entered the war.

Of course, MacArthur, the theater commander, is limited to the U.S. Army, and MacArthur doesn't even have the power to command the navy.

Compared with MacArthur, Angie is the real commander-in-chief of the theater. Southern Africa and the allies in southern Africa, all armies in the Far East must accept Angie's command.

Angie's official position is the commander-in-chief of the Indian Ocean theater. Southern Africa has not established a Pacific theater until now, mainly to avoid irritating the Americans.

Of course, this does not mean that Southern Africa has given up the Far East. On the contrary, this time Southern Africa will bring the Far East into its sphere of influence.

As for whether the European and American countries can be driven away from the Far East, this matter will be discussed after the war.

In another time and space, how the United States sows dissension around the world, and how southern Africa tosses the colonies of European and American countries in the Far East. In this world, southern Africa is the country that is best at various exports.

"Mike, if the U.S. military agrees to accept the command of the general headquarters, then I will be responsible for the U.S. military's operations in Mindoro." Angel is there.

Russia calls for support every day, and it is really inseparable from the assistance of southern Africa.

MacArthur is playing tricks, if there is a date or not, let's talk about it first. When the reinforcements in the United States are in place, MacArthur will immediately change his attitude.

"The U.S. military has always been under the command of the general headquarters—" MacArthur pretended to be stupid.

An Qi smiled and said nothing, she knew MacArthur's thoughts very well.

Before the war broke out, MacArthur was the overlord of the Philippines. If MacArthur was asked to return to China to become president, it is estimated that MacArthur would not do it.

When the president has something good, the president of the United States is the spokesperson launched by the interest group, and his own rights are very small, that is, when the United States is in a state of war, the power of the president will increase greatly.

So the United States is always at war. This is what the arms companies hope, and it is also the result of the balance of power.

MacArthur's power in the Philippines is much greater than that of the US president in the United States.

It is said that power is poison and will make people crazy. This is true at all. A big man cannot be without power for a day, and a young man cannot be without money for a day.

It's too miserable for a man without power or money, but this is the normal state of men.

Because the U.S. military is temporarily insufficient, the operations against the Philippines are mainly in southern Africa.

This raises a question. If Southern Africa regained the Philippines, would the Filipinos still listen to the United States after the war?

Mostly impossible. After all, the Filipinos would rather accept Japanese colonization than continue to accept American rule. Southern Africa is much better than Japan. At least the federal government of Southern Africa will never force young adults from allied countries to join the army.

In the Southern African Union, everyone joins the army voluntarily. Because the soldiers of the Southern African Union have high status and good treatment, people are very enthusiastic about joining the army. If the physical condition is not up to standard, they will not even be eligible to join the army.

This is in stark contrast to other countries. In Russia, even minors have entered the scope of conscription, and Japan has expanded the conscripts to the elderly and teenagers early. After the outbreak of the Pacific War, Japan expanded its army again and formed 70 new divisions. Even if all the 70 divisions are Class B divisions, a total of 168 million people are needed.

This is not the end. This time the military expansion has not yet been completed. The Japanese military has formulated a new conscription plan, and the Japanese government has finally shouted the slogan "[-] million pieces of jade". This is the rhythm that pulls all Japanese to be buried together .

This is not enough, the population of Japan is only 7500 million, so the goal of "[-] million pieces of jade" includes the colonial population, including the Philippines.

If MacArthur does not want to do anything, even if the Filipinos are not buried with the Japanese, they will be reduced to the sphere of influence of southern Africa after the war, and the United States will retreat from East Asia. What are you drawing?

For MacArthur, the good news is that domestic aid from the United States is about to arrive, so if MacArthur finds a way to hold back the Allied forces, it is best for the US military to recover Manila, which is in the interests of the United States.

Of course, the plan is good, but when it comes to implementation, problems often arise.

Looking at the current situation, the Allied forces are advancing triumphantly in Luzon Island, and the U.S. military is defending the beachhead in Mindoro Island. In order to preserve his strength, William of the Red Division can ignore even MacArthur's orders. The Rainbow Division is obedient, but unfortunately they cannot beat the cunning The Japanese, this made MacArthur helpless, so he came to Angie to make trouble.

"Even if we don't send helicopters to Mindoro, the [-] Allied prisoners of war in the prison camps must be rescued. If the Japanese have no hope of winning, they will definitely raise their butcher knives at the prison camp at the last moment. We must stop the Japanese Human actions." MacArthur is good at language arts, and the prisoners in the Philippine POW camps are all the US-Philippines coalition forces, and have nothing to do with the southern African army.

It can't be said that it doesn't matter, MacArthur is right, the U.S.-Philippines coalition forces are now also members of the coalition forces.

But this makes you sound uncomfortable, even a little disgusting.

"I have warned the Japanese that if the Japanese dare to do this, I will make the Japanese pay a hundred times and a thousand times the price." An Qi is still cautious about the use of airborne troops.

MacArthur had already made this request to An Qi before, but An Qi did not agree at that time.

Now An Qi's attitude has not changed, and the connection between southern Africa and Japan has not been completely severed. This threat of An Qi was passed on to the Japanese through Vichy France.

The threat of southern Africa is not just talk. When the United States intervened in the Brazilian civil war, southern Africa warned Washington not to play with fire and set itself on fire.

As a result, everyone knows that the United States lost its troops in Brazil, and the Americas belong to the Americans, which has become a big joke among people all over the world, especially the Europeans, who like to see the Americans deflated.

Now Southern Africa once again warns "don't say it is unpredictable". If the Japanese really dare to attack the prisoners of war, then An Qi really dares to let the Japanese feel what justice means.

"Is the warning useful? The Japanese have killed nearly half of the prisoners of war. How many Japanese are you going to kill as punishment for the Japanese?" MacArthur already knew what happened to the prisoners of war of the US-Philippine coalition through reports from the southern African media.

This is so funny, Americans have to go through the southern African newspapers to find out about the Bataan Death March.

Those who don't know think that the Philippines is not an American colony, but a southern African colony.

"It's up to you to decide how deep your hatred for the Japanese is." An Qi handed over the decision-making power to MacArthur. It doesn't sound good to fight a tooth for a tooth. It feels a bit narrow-minded and will give some feedback The war fighters reflected on the chances of the war without asking why the Allies retaliated against the Japanese.

There are also anti-war activists and isolationists in southern Africa. After the war broke out, southern Africa did not join the war immediately. Many people contributed articles to newspapers in southern Africa, hoping that southern Africa would be neutral and that the blood of southern Africans should not be used for unjust The war flows.

This is so ridiculous. The blood of southern Africans is not shed for unjust wars, should it be shed for just wars?
As for justice and injustice, the ass has the final say. There has never been any war that is just. Whether Southern Africa participates in the war depends only on whether the war is in the interests of Southern Africa.

If the war is not in the interests of Southern Africa, then no matter how just the war is, Southern Africa will lack enthusiasm.

If it is in the interests of southern Africa, the situation is completely different. Southern Africans do not initiate wars, but they are never afraid of wars.

Therefore, the articles submitted by those anti-war people were all thrown into the trash can by the editors of the newspaper. They were either stupid or bad, and they didn't know the nature of this world at all.

The reason why they do this is also the responsibility of the Southern African Federal Government. After all, the propaganda machine in Southern Africa is shouting for justice and peace all day long. If they are not careful, even their own people will not be spared, and they will all be brainwashed.
