Reborn South Africa as a police officer

The Seventh Division's attack was not as powerful as MacArthur had imagined. Although the US military's weapons and equipment were obviously better than those of the Japanese army, the gap was not so large that it could be completely suppressed.

The Japanese army did not have many ways to deal with armored forces, but they were very effective.

Looking at a Sherman that was destroyed by explosives, Langman felt very complicated.

"The Japanese soldiers disguised themselves as corpses, strapped explosives on their bodies, and detonated them when the tanks passed by—" Brandt's expression was also indescribable. The Japanese really deserve to die, but from the standpoint of soldiers, the Japanese are indeed qualified. Soldier.

Obedient, ferocious, ruthless enough to oneself, even more ruthless to the enemy, the key is to eat less and work a lot, and the requirements for remuneration are not high. If moral standards are not considered, it is simply a standard soldier model.

As for troops that are obedient, disciplined, moral, and hardworking, Brandt never even thought about it.

How can there be a perfect army——

Langman recalled the previous prediction of the US Department of War that an attack on the Japanese mainland might cause millions of casualties.

The U.S. Department of War is still reliable once in a while.

"Half of the tanks of the 31st Regiment have been lost, and they must be withdrawn for rest. The ammunition of the 32nd Regiment also needs to be replenished. It will take at least 24 hours before a new attack can be launched." Brandt said that the 31st Regiment was the Polar Bear Regiment. After the Battle of Okinawa, the 32nd regiment had a new nickname called "Spearhead".

Lang Man frowned. Not all the tanks lost by the 31st regiment were destroyed by the Japanese army.

The performance of the Sherman tank is good, but it also has a high failure rate and high non-combat losses.

This is not necessarily a problem with the Sherman tank itself, the tankers are also responsible.

The Japanese soldiers turned into human bombs and used flesh and blood to contend with the steel monsters. It is impossible for the American soldiers to say that they are not afraid.

No matter how brave people are, they don't want to die, not to mention that the bravery of American soldiers is limited. There are really few people who want to fight the Japanese.

Everyone knows what happened to the veterans of World War I in Washington. The bravery of the recruits of World War II is discounted. Don’t look at the American blockbusters, where American soldiers kill all kinds of people on the battlefield. In fact, the performance of the American army is almost the same as that of the French army. , The British army is on the same level.

The U.S. military that cooperated with the Southern African Expeditionary Force was not the real U.S. military. The U.S. military during the Philippine campaign was the true level of the U.S. military.

Without the help of the Southern African Expeditionary Force, the US-Philippines coalition forces were defeated and killed by the Japanese like livestock.

With the help of the Southern African Expeditionary Force, if the U.S. military has divine help, they will call for fire support if they can’t fight. Carpet bombing by hundreds of bombers at every turn, and the main guns of red-eyed battleships can be used as field artillery. The shells are bigger than the waist of the Japanese are thick.

Therefore, in the face of the Japanese who are fighting to the death, it is normal for the Sherman tank to malfunction, and it can fix you if there is no malfunction.

Colonel Christopher, who was sent by MacArthur to supervise the battle, was also helpless.

Watching the battle report every day at the coalition headquarters, I have become numb to the rows of numbers, and I can't feel the cruelty of the real battlefield.

Now that Colonel Christopher came to the front line and saw how American soldiers fought against the Japanese, Christopher finally understood why Angie was so cautious in fighting against Japan.

This should have a lot to do with Angie's being Asian. Those who know East Asians best must be East Asians.

That night, Christopher flew back to Lion City to meet MacArthur.

"As long as Japan can be defeated in the shortest possible time, no matter how much the price is paid, it will be worth it." MacArthur's heart was colder than ice.

"Our troops are used to fighting the enemy with absolute superiority, and it is inappropriate to act alone." Christopher tactfully.

What does it mean to act alone?
It should be expressed as being unable to fight alone.

In the Battle of Okinawa, the U.S. army had the upper hand against the Japanese army defending the isolated island. In three months, the Japanese army suffered 11 casualties, while the U.S. army suffered 7.5 casualties. In the end, the Japanese army completely exhausted the U.S. military’s supplies to win.

To put it bluntly, in the end, even if the U.S. military does not attack, the Japanese will starve to death.

"Can't we defeat the Japanese alone without the help of the southern Africans?" MacArthur really didn't expect that the situation of the US military would be so bad.

Thinking about it is too inappropriate.

The level of weapons and equipment of the US military is basically on the same level as that of the Southern African Expeditionary Force. Even if the Southern African Expeditionary Force is better, it is not much better. Compared with the Japanese army, there is a generation gap.

The Southern African Expeditionary Force was invincible in the face of the Japanese army. They fought all the way from the Malay Peninsula to the Japanese mainland, just like adults beating children, and they had no power to fight back.

Even if all the U.S. troops are recruits, they have completed the basic training for three months, and they have been fighting with the Southern African Expeditionary Force for so long, is there no progress at all?

This also shows that he, the commander-in-chief of the US military in East Asia, is too incompetent.

"Our time is too tight, and we need more time to prepare." Christopher avoided the most important thing, and the situation may be worse than MacArthur imagined.

If the weapons and equipment are not advanced enough, they can be researched and developed. If the morale of the troops is not high, they can be encouraged. If the soldiers are not trained enough, they can be trained more.

Christopher went to the front line this time, and finally knew the true attitude of frontline officers and soldiers towards MacArthur, the commander-in-chief of the US military in East Asia.

That is to say, MacArthur still has the aura of a five-star general, former president of the West Point Military Academy, and a veteran of the two world wars, so the frontline officers and soldiers did not openly rebel.

Contradictions are inevitable, and MacArthur's attitude in handling the Washington veterans' rally has caused far more serious consequences than MacArthur imagined. However, not only did MacArthur fail to find a way to remedy the incident, but he betrayed his subordinates again in the Philippines and fled.

No wonder MacArthur never went to the front line.

Probably he himself knew very well that if he went to the front line, he might be blacked out.

People have self-knowledge.

MacArthur made so many mistakes. Not only did he not reflect on himself, but he felt good about himself. He returned to the United States to try to participate in the presidential election before the war was over.

This is another betrayal of the US military in East Asia.

Now the situation is obvious. Even if the Allied forces do not take the initiative to attack, the Japanese army will not be able to last long. At this time, instead of waiting for Japan to voluntarily surrender, they use the lives of soldiers to win more honor for themselves. There is no need to wait another four years. Christopher can now conclude that the next time MacArthur participates in the presidential election, he may be even more disgraced than the last time.

"You have mentioned the most critical issue. The time is really tight." MacArthur did not understand Christopher's meaning correctly and decided to go to Angie.

The Allied Forces in East Asia were dominated by the Southern African Expeditionary Force. If the war ended with Japan's unconditional surrender, the glory would belong to all Allied Forces, and MacArthur would be lost.

Now that the negotiation is out of the question, let's promote it by fighting.

An Qi didn't care what MacArthur thought, he finally waited for Roque's order and gave the whole world a surprise.

Southern Africa sent not two super bombs to East Asia but four.

It depends on the situation whether you want to throw out the four or not. If the first one is thrown down, the Japanese government will decisively surrender, and the remaining three don’t need to be thrown away. This one is not for the Japanese to see, but for the whole world. watch.

At that time, Rock can sincerely say to the bearded man: Are you sure you want to go to the Black Sea?

Rock can also warn some guys who are about to move, be honest with me, otherwise I will let you taste the sourness of the super bomb.

With the super bomb, the confidence is different.

After An Qi learned about the power of the super bomb, for a moment, she really wanted to start World War III.

Just thinking about it, Southern Africa has not reached the level of single-handedly challenging the whole world.

The key is that the number of super bombs is not enough.

"Tokyo, or Kyoto?" Changi Squadron Commander August Pete was gearing up. It would be best to drop a super bomb and kill all the Japanese, then the world would be clean.

Angie took a deep breath and endured the impulse in her heart: "We need a tool to help us domesticate Japan."

Both the East and the West have the tradition of "using barbarians to control barbarians", and Southern Africa, which is both Eastern and Western, is no exception.

It is easy to kill the Japanese, but domestication will take some effort, stick education is essential, and sweet dates must also be given.

According to An Qi's previous plan, all war criminals must go through a court trial and receive due punishment, no one is an exception.

Now An Qi has a new way to play.

It is good to completely tame the Japanese, but the value of that will be greatly reduced. It is better to give the Japanese a little aggressiveness, and then guide them properly, so that the benefits can be maximized.

The character of the Japanese is a standard fear of authority but not morality. If they are too kind to the Japanese, they will make the Japanese push their noses in the face.

On the contrary, beating every now and then will make the Japanese fearful.

To put it bluntly, it is a physique of being abused, and it is three days without a roof tile.

"How powerful is the super bomb?" Pete didn't know much about super bombs.

An Qi looked at the map on the wall and made a gesture with her hands: "Probably from here to here, only one super bomb is needed to destroy them all."

The range of Angie's gestures is from Changi Naval Base to Lion City, with a straight-line distance of more than ten kilometers.

Pete was dumbfounded, probably calculating how much explosives would be needed to destroy such a large area.

"One?" Pete knew that Angie would not lie, but he still couldn't help doubting it.

This is beyond Pete's comprehension.

An Qi nodded, and said one was missing.

"Then this one didn't cause tens of thousands of casualties—" Pete still couldn't believe it. The population density of the Changi Naval Base and the Lion City is indeed a bit high.

Needless to say, the Lion City used to be the seat of the colonial government of the Straits Settlements. It has a population of 10,000+ in a small area, and its population density may be the highest in the world.

Changi Naval Base has undergone multiple expansions, and the population of the staff and their families, as well as new immigrants after the outbreak of the war, has reached nearly 50.

According to An Qi, if a super bomb goes down and completely destroys such a large area, then the super bomb is indeed worthy of the word "super".

"This thing has radiation. It will not be suitable for human survival for a long time after the explosion, and it will have a serious impact on the environment." Angie's regret is here.

If you really want to single out the whole world with a super bomb, even if you win, the whole earth is no longer suitable for human survival, and then you will lose if you win.

Therefore, after the four super bombs arrived at the Changi Naval Base, they were transferred to the field airport on Yakushima with almost no stay.

The power of this thing is too great, what if one of them is not properly preserved and blows up.

So it was still sent to Yakushima. Even if it was accidentally detonated, it would not be the southern African territory that was polluted.

"Then find a place where no one is around and throw it away." Pete showed great kindness. No matter how much he hated Japan, he still had a moral bottom line.

An Qi would not do it, find a place where there is no one to throw it down, and show the world the fireworks.

If you want to fight, you have to hurt the Japanese.

After many rounds of bombing, there are not many cities in Japan that are eligible to be selected as targets by super bombs. Tokyo and Kyoto are not suitable, so Angie points Hiroshima on the map.

The reason for not choosing Kyoto is that there is a Japanese king in Kyoto.

Tokyo was not chosen because Tokyo has been razed to the ground after many bombings. Even if the super bomb is dropped, it will not have the deterrent effect it deserves.

Hiroshima is an important industrial city in Japan. At the same time, it is also the source of modern Japanese wars. As early as the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War, Hiroshima was the base camp of the Japanese army. After entering the new century, every time Japan launched foreign wars, the troops all started from Hiroshima.

Another reason for choosing Hiroshima was the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army.

Japan implements a local conscription system, and most of the soldiers of the same unit come from the same region. The Fifth Division of the Japanese Army is from Hiroshima, also known as the "Itagaki Division".

When it comes to the Banyuan Division, all Chinese should bear in mind that the Jinling Massacre was carried out by this unit.

Therefore, whether it is out of politics or personal feelings, Angie regards Hiroshima as the first target of the super bomb.

Following the order, the 3-meter-long, 0.7-meter-diameter super bomb containing 60 kilograms of highly enriched uranium and weighing about 4 tons was sent to the super sky fortress, and then flew to Hiroshima under the escort of six fighter jets.

Escorts are actually unnecessary. In Japan now, all the aircraft have been lost, and there are not many birds in the sky. Even if the Super Sky Fortress goes to Hiroshima alone, there will be no accidents.

An Qi was still cautious. The pilots who performed this mission were even more excited. They all knew what was in the cabin. In order to compete for the qualification to perform this mission, the pilots almost did not fight.

The pilot who finally won the opportunity of this mission is called Paul Tibbetts. Before performing this mission, he received counseling from a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist hoped that he could perform this mission without any burden. After all, for ordinary people, Killing hundreds of thousands of people at one time, the psychological pressure is still quite high.

Paul Tibbetts has no pressure. He has only one sentence for this task: No soul in Hiroshima.
