Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2649

The answer is yes.Half an hour later, just when MacArthur breathed a sigh of relief and thought that the Japanese army was at the end of their rope, a sudden change occurred, and more than one hundred Japanese fighter planes appeared over the battlefield.From the time when the frontline scouts sent back the first report of the discovery of the Japanese plane, to the time when the Japanese fighter plane appeared in the field of vision, the process never took more than 10 to 10 minutes.[-] minutes is not a short time, but it is far from enough for MacArthur-even though the combat efficiency of the US military has improved; even though they have strengthened the construction of air defense forces.But just like a contradictory relationship, no matter how tough the shield is, it belongs to the defensive side and cannot take the initiative. So just as MacArthur was most worried, the battle began to deviate from his expected direction and gradually escaped his control.

"I was sure at the time that General Sasaki was quite emotionally entangled when he decided to launch an attack. Now I know that the reason why he did so was because he knew at the time how doing so would cause damage to the Allied forces. But Then again, General Sasaki just acted according to orders, so it can be seen that the movement of the US military was as early as Koizumi Toshiichiro expected..." This is a historical biography "Pacific War" written by a well-known Japanese military historian in later generations. "A paragraph written in.Because Japan was actually under the control of China at that time, other well-known military historians in the world, especially the United States, generally criticized him as flattering the Chinese government and not an objective conclusion.

At that time, Sasaki Shota's true identity had been made public. In China, he was a national hero. In Japan, he was also a spy war elite in the positive promotional materials.Of course, because he was actually the biggest factor in the failure of the U.S. Army’s New Guinea counteroffensive, it is impossible for Westerners, especially Americans, to praise him, so he has become a “hero or criminal” in the West. At one point, he even became a scapegoat for the U.S. government to blame New Guinea for its failure in anti-communism.

"Hundreds of bombs fell from high altitudes, and the brothers could only run around looking for possible bomb-proof bunkers... At first we thought victory was at our fingertips, but now we realize that this is just a trap set by the Japanese..."

"We are very surprised why the fighter planes guarding our airspace suddenly disappeared. If they are still there, I don't think the Japanese Air Force can be so rampant..."

... These words are excerpted from the memoirs of several surviving American soldiers in the Wabana battle. Through the memories of these American soldiers, it is not difficult for us to judge that the result of the battle at that time was that the Americans lost.As for how badly the Americans lost, perhaps we can find out from some top-secret documents of the US government below.

"The North African battlefield has always been a concern of the government. However, due to the failure of the New Guinea counter-offensive, the government had to transfer a large number of troops originally decided to go to North Africa to Australia because of the failure of the New Guinea counter-offensive. Therefore, the Chinese gained Up-and-coming opportunities in North Africa…”

"General MacArthur's dismissal seems to be the White House's unfavorable punishment for his command of the New Guinea counterattack attack. In fact, the author thinks that this is the US government's compromise with the Japanese army and the Chinese government. The reason why the government sent troops to New Guinea at all costs The ultimate goal is to defeat Japan and seize dominance in the Pacific. Regrettably, although the government is determined to be unprecedented, the frontline officers and soldiers are not up to date. In this era when victory determines everything, the US government is forced by the Chinese government. Inevitably..."

In Chongqing, when the news that "MacArthur led the remnants back to Australia" was verified, in the meeting room on the third floor of the Supreme Command, Ouyang Yun stretched his waist and said, "It's a pity!" Then he got up and left with great strides.

"Yankee!" Feng Yuxiang stood up right after him, said half a sentence, then shook his head and left.

Of all the people, Chen Cheng had the ugliest expression on his face. He sat there stiffly, as if his troops had lost a battle.

"How could this be? MacArthur—" Zhang Xueliang stood up and looked at Chen Cheng, saying the same thing, then got up and left.

"Mud can't support the wall," said Bai Chongxi, who looked at Chen Cheng as if he was talking, then picked up the file and left in big strides.

"Old Chen, the Americans are really not worth looking forward to. Let me tell you, you should face the reality!" Song Ziwen was the last one to rush to the meeting room. The reason why he came here was because he still has a second identity as the United Nations Coordinating Ambassador.

From the original standpoints of Song Ziwen and Chen Cheng, the former should be the hardcore "American Party".However, because he got closer and closer to Ouyang Yun, Song Ziwen was more and more influenced by the latter, and gradually saw through the essence of the United States, and gradually became disapproving.And now, because of this failure of the US military, it is foreseeable that he will definitely ignore the existence of the United States in the United Nations even more.

When Chen Cheng became the "American Party" is still a mystery in the Supreme Command.However, considering that he was the second person under the veteran in the era of the central government, and became No. 1 in the Central Army after Lao Jiang became president, it seems that it is not difficult to understand his current pro-American stance.Of course, because the Americans are so underwhelming, his tendency is now more like a failed investment.

Going back to the front line of the Wabbaros, when a large Japanese army appeared on the left wing, that is, to the west, the front-line commander of the US military led by Simon did not take it seriously. However, when more than one hundred Japanese fighter planes appeared above their heads, Simon and others All were stunned.

On the battlefield, what are armored troops most afraid of?For Americans, the Japanese ground special attack force is certainly one of them, but compared with the Japanese air force, the threat of special attack on the ground can be ignored.

When Jin summoned back the group of fighter planes under his command, Simon and the others were surprised but did not express much dissatisfaction.The sense of honor of the soldiers is at stake. Simon believes that he can defeat the Japanese ground troops in front of him with his own strength-"Does it mean that we can't fight without the support of the air force?" The courage of the troops.

So, when the densely packed Japanese army appeared over the battlefield and began to bombard and shoot American tanks and infantry unscrupulously, Simon's third reinforced armored brigade was the first to collapse.

The Americans can't help but collapse.Take the [-]rd Enhanced Armored Brigade as an example. Although their tanks were equipped with anti-aircraft weapons, the Japanese pilots had prepared for "jade fragmentation" before they took off. Therefore, their air defense firepower not only failed to stop the Japanese Air Force's offensive, Instead, the Japanese pilots became even more excited.

One side is timid, while the other side attacks bravely, the result is naturally no exception.On this point alone, it is not surprising that MacArthur's counterattack against New Guinea ultimately fell short.
