Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

1611 Chapter One Thousand 610 The Island of Paradise

On the fourth day, Nimitz still did not come. Jiang Haoran sent several telegrams in succession, and the reply he got was that Nimitz was inspecting Mariana and had not come back yet.

The battle in the Mariana Islands has been suspended. He Nimitz inspected shit, which is obviously an excuse.

It doesn't matter if he procrastinates, the resistance of the Yuanyi Group is getting bigger and bigger, coupled with the heavy rain for several days, the water surface of the Cagayan River has widened, and the battle across the river is extremely difficult.

Moreover, due to the raging virus, daily non-combat attrition continues to increase.

Originally, after the cloud bomb bombing, the enemy's line of defense fell apart, the national army took advantage of the situation and the soldiers pressed the border, and the airborne troops raided the south of Manila.

Now that the best opportunity has been lost, enemy reinforcements have arrived and the line of defense has been strengthened, which in itself adds to the difficulty of the battle.

But it is not impossible to win. Although the enemy has four more divisions out of thin air, the strength of the two sides is still at a considerable level. As long as the airborne division can be dispatched quickly and attack Manila with thunderous force, the island army will inevitably divide its troops and return to help. The pressure on the enemy has dropped sharply, and the two armies are facing each other, and they can still defeat the enemy in a short period of time.

But if you wait until the second batch of enemy reinforcements arrives, there is no need for the airborne division to airborne, because it is impossible for them to break through the Manila defense line, and the entire battle will fall into an extremely passive situation.

The worst result is that the Yuanyi Group's army will withdraw from the Philippines, and at the same time, it will face the enemy's pursuit and fierce attack, and the casualties will be immeasurable.

The battle was originally undertaken at the request of the Mi Army, but now due to the malicious delay of the Mi Army, the Chinese army is suffering unnecessary casualties every day. It is conceivable how angry Jiang Haoran is.

……

Five days later, in Palembang, the provisional headquarters of the Pacific Fleet of the Mi Army.

In the office, Nimitz was sitting upright, and sitting opposite him was Marshall, the chief of staff of the United States.

It turned out that five days ago, Roosevelt considered the importance of the matter, worried that Nimitz would not be able to carry out the White House's intentions, and worried that he would not be able to deal with Jiang Haoran, a cunning fox, so he temporarily decided to send Marshall to Vientiane in person to meet with Jiang Haoran.

Unexpectedly, after Marshall arrived in Palembang, Nimitz just received the latest news of the Philippine campaign from the agents of the Military Intelligence Bureau. The army seems to be quite troublesome.

Upon hearing the news, Marshall, who was originally in a hurry, suddenly became less anxious. He wanted to see if Jiang Haoran would use nuclear weapons again.

To be honest, although the rumors from the outside world are true, and Oppenheimer and Einstein also proved it, Marshall did not fully believe that Jiang Haoran really possessed nuclear weapons. After all, this is not an ordinary conventional weapon. Gao, Jiang Haoran is quite evil, but he is a mortal after all.

It is unscientific for a mortal to combine the identities of a super god of war, a super scientist, an inventor, etc., and no one has such energy.

Therefore, he also brought a mysterious expert in nuclear weapons this time, just to find an opportunity to find out.

It is obviously unrealistic to ask Jiang Haoran to bring his own experts to his scientific research institute. Marshall is worried that there is no way. When he hears that the national army's attack is not good, he immediately feels that the opportunity has come, and he waits for Jiang Haoran to use nuclear weapons again.

His experts can take a special plane to go to the sky above the battlefield to see what happened, and they can always see some clues.

Who knows that I have been waiting for five days, but this opportunity has not yet come.

Marshall is not in a hurry, he knows that the situation of the national army is getting worse and worse, Jiang Haoran will definitely not be able to hold it for long, he has always loved soldiers like a child, there is no reason to let the super weapons go unused, and let the soldiers sacrifice innocently.

Nimitz smoked a cigar silently, but Marshall watched the Saipan war briefing with relish.

The Mi-Australian allied forces fought bravely. On the first day of the attack, they dropped more than [-] soldiers on the landing site in just one day, and the casualties were only more than [-], which is very commendable.

The captured landing site is only half of the plan, making it difficult to form an effective defensive posture.

That night, the Japanese army launched a night attack, taking advantage of the narrow landing field of the coalition forces and their unstable foothold, in an attempt to drive the coalition forces into the sea in one fell swoop.The island army was covered by dozens of tanks, and a regiment of infantry launched a charge. The coalition forces had been prepared for a long time, and flares were fired one after another, illuminating the entire landing site like daylight.

The island army's sneak attack was discovered at the very beginning, and the coalition forces immediately called for naval artillery fire support. Under the fierce and intensive naval artillery attack, the island army lost more than a thousand people in vain and gained nothing.

After shattering the island army's sneak attack, the coalition forces launched an attack with the escort carrier-based aircraft, naval guns, tanks and artillery to support the ground forces. The progress was very fast. The landing site was almost doubled that night, and the Chalan Kanoa Airport was also captured. .

Coalition reconnaissance planes and long-range bombers had begun landing at the airport the next morning.

Seeing that both frontal blocking and night attack failed, the island army knew that it was impossible to drive the coalition forces into the sea, so they had to change their tactics, ordering the island troops to rely on favorable terrain to carry out a strong defense, and tried to mobilize troops from Tinian Island to support them.

However, the coalition navy controlled the waters between Saipan and Tinian overnight, and the reinforcements of the island army were wiped out by coalition destroyers during the voyage, and they could not reach Saipan at all.

The coalition forces continued to develop their offensive. It took only two days for the troops to attack the Majiqisi Beach in the south of Saipan, and easily captured the largest airport in Saipan --- Aslilo Airport.

Two days later, Mi Army fighter jets began stationing at the airport.

The island army was forced to shrink the line of defense and withdrew the defenders to Cape Naftan, preparing for a long-lasting defense.

If Roosevelt hadn't stopped the offensive urgently, the situation of the island army would have been even worse.

However, the coalition navy has blocked all the outer waters of Saipan, Saipan has actually fallen into a situation of isolation and helplessness, and the destruction of the island army is only a matter of time.

Although the situation in Tinian and Guam is slightly better, after all, they are not the main attack direction of the coalition forces, but the situation is still bad. Hundreds of thousands of coalition forces are facing more than [-] island troops. Where can there be little devils to eat?

"Yes, you played well." Marshall closed the folder and said with a smile: "However, we urgently stopped the attack when the momentum was in full swing. Did the officers and soldiers get angry?"

"Troublesome?" Nimitz was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "No, no, no, they don't know how happy they are. The battlefield is almost turning into an island of bliss. I didn't know that the Australian army was so cruel, and they were on the battlefield every day. Killing the prisoners for fun, the method is so cruel that people can't bear to look at it directly, it only makes the Monkey Army scream with anger, but there is nothing they can do, it is very relieved."

Marshall smiled slightly and said, "Let them go, we need such allies."
