Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 1811

Zamboanga front, in the headquarters of the Philippine 61st Infantry Division, William?Major General Sharp slammed the telegram personally signed by MacArthur on the table in front of him, and said to Ma Lunan, the commander of the 61st Division: "MacArthur is crazy, he actually asked us to obey the command of the Chinese, who are not familiar with the terrain here at all. , if it is really under their command, then it is better to just give up Zamboanga."

Marunan: "General, what about us?"

"Let's go, let's go to the Chinese positions first and then talk about it."

He just walked out of the command post when the bleak air defense sirens sounded, and the American soldiers and Filipino soldiers outside suddenly ran around like they wanted to blow up a nest of bees, shouting while running: "It's not good! The Japanese attacked coming!"

The headquarters of the 61st Division is located on a slope fifteen kilometers west of Zamboanga City. Sharp and Ma Lunan turned their heads to hope, and saw twelve Japanese planes flying in a neat formation towards their own square.Ma Lunan's expression changed immediately, and he said, "General, let's go into the air-raid shelter and hide for a while!"

Sharp nodded, and the two of them chose an air-raid shelter next to the headquarters and got in under the escort of a group of guards.

MacArthur was worried about affecting morale, and had not made the attack on Pearl Harbor public. Therefore, although Sharp and others received an order to prepare for combat, they were not sure that the Japanese army would definitely launch an attack.Therefore, this round of air strikes by the Japanese aircraft seemed a bit abrupt to them, and they even suspected of undeclared war.

This round of air strikes by the Japanese army was actually to test and lure the enemy. In the high-altitude clouds behind the twelve Type [-] bombers, twelve Zero Fighters were slowly advancing at this time.

Less than 5 minutes after Sharp and Ma Lunan entered the air-raid shelter, the sound of "wow" sounded, and the Japanese plane began to drop bombs.

Aerial bombs fell on the positions of the 61st Infantry Division. Soon, the fortifications built by the Filipinos and supervised by American soldiers were turned upside down in the explosion.

This round of air strikes lasted for about 10 minutes before it ended.A quarter of an hour later, when it was confirmed that the Japanese plane had returned, Sharp, Ma Lunan and others walked out of the air-raid shelter. The two first inspected their own position, and then looked at the nearby student army position, their expressions became ugly.Sharp scolded: "Why do these sons of bitches only bomb our positions? It's really unreasonable!"

Ma Lunan frowned slightly and said, "Is our position too conspicuous?"

Sharp picked up the binoculars and looked towards the soldiers' positions. He saw that in the trench closest to them, several students were dragging a section of tree and placing it on top of the trench. Well, is this the reason why they were able to continue the stalemate with the Japanese army in South China?"

"Report, Major General Xiao Anbao, Commander of the Second Brigade of the First Mountain Division, please see me!" Suddenly, a second lieutenant of the US Army reported to him loudly.

Sharp realized that the other party was here to accept the command, and his mood became more and more depressed. He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Please come here!" Everyone is a major general, but he leads three divisions, while Xiao Anbao has only one brigade under him, so in From Sharp's point of view, even if a joint headquarters is to be established, he should be the head coach himself.Naturally he didn't dare to disobey MacArthur's order, but it shouldn't matter to show Xiao Anbao a little color, right?Otherwise, the Chinese really thought that the Philippines would not be able to hold on without them.

Sharp made up his mind to give Xiao Anbao a slap in the face, but since Xiao Anbao dared to take the initiative to accept the command, how could he be afraid of his mere slap in the face.

While the Japanese planes were still bombing, Xiao Anbao came out.And because he made a suggestion to Sharp before, pointing out that the fortifications should be more concealed, and at the same time, some camouflage could be built to confuse the Japanese army, so the first sentence he saw Sharp and Ma Lunan was: "Didn't I tell you to camouflage? Can't bear a round of air raids? Once the Japanese army launches a landing? How do you defend?"

Sharpe, who was waiting for him to bring up the transfer of command to take the opportunity to explode, was dumb when he heard this.Facts speak louder than words. The position of the Xuebing Army was unscathed. Not only was their position destroyed by bombing, but the soldiers also suffered a certain degree of casualties. If the Japanese army really chose to land here, how would they defend it?He was angry at first, but now he was lectured, but he couldn't refute it, Sharp's face was flushed red, he was almost dying of embarrassment.

Regarding the establishment of the joint command, Sharp and Marunan have not communicated yet.Therefore, in the eyes of their subordinates, Xiao Anbao's preaching was naked sarcasm, and a brigade commander under Ma Lunan immediately counterattacked: "Our position is destroyed, isn't your position intact? If the Japanese army really launches a landing battle , you student soldiers can go up to the top!?" After saying this, he saw Xiao Anbao and the several student soldiers behind him staring at him with unfriendly expressions, and turned his head to look around, and found that his colleagues all had the same expression. He seemed deeply convinced, thinking that it would be a good idea to sell Sharp, and the more interested he was, he continued: "If a good defensive position alone can block the Japanese attack, then why do we need guns? As long as a shovel does not That's enough? Gentlemen, don't you think so? Haha!"

"Hahaha!" The other Filipinos also laughed wantonly.

Amidst the laughter of the Filipinos, Xiao Anbao looked normal, but his battalion commander Lu Da couldn't hold back.Lu Da gave all the Filipinos a hard look, and said to Xiao Anbao: "MD, there are such a bunch of trash, traveler, I think we should go our separate ways!"

Xiao Anbao glared at him coldly and said, "Is the lives of brothers so worthless? Can't you see it? If the little devil really launches an attack, these guys will definitely run away."

Lu Da's expression froze, he touched his nose and said, "Then what should we do?"

"Wang Mintian, give them the telegram," Xiao Anbao said to the adjutant behind him.

Wang Mintian responded, took a step forward to open the document package, and handed over two telegrams from the U.S. Army Command in the Philippines and the Second Expeditionary Army Command to Sharp at the same time, and said in English: "General Sharp, we are ordered to accept the Commander of your army, please check it!"

The Filipinos understood this sentence, and many of them immediately became weird, and the brigade commander said strangely: "Is there a mistake? Why are the Chinese commanding us? This is the Philippines—"

"Shut up!" Sharp suddenly shouted fiercely, then looked at the two telegrams, signed his name and handed them back to Wang Mintian, saying: "I have received the order, and I will obey the order!" Then he turned around He said to Ma Lunan: "From now on, you still have the 81st Division and the 101st Division under the command of General Xiao!"

Ma Lunan looked at Xiao Anbao and said yes.

The Filipinos were in an uproar, while the American officers and soldiers behind Sharp looked at Xiao Anbao with unfriendly expressions.

Sharp and Xiao Anbao looked at each other, and said expressionlessly: "I have given you the command, and I will wait and see how General Xiao defeats the Japanese army!"

Xiao Anbao grinned lightly at the corner of his mouth, and said in English: "General Sharp, you are wrong. It is not how I defeated the Japanese army, but how we defeated the Japanese army. Is it just the job of our student army to guard the Philippines? Or I can understand it as, You don’t want to hold the Philippines at all?”

Sharp was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes widened in anger; Ma Lunan became thoughtful.
