Hardcore ruthless starts in the Pacific

The aura of killing people in the next second is not something an ordinary soldier can resist.

"Wait, I'll go right away."

Ivan took a deep breath, calmed down, and walked out of the tent where he was resting. He neither planned to wash his face nor change into his combat uniform, and he didn't carry any letters. He just followed the trembling messenger to the command post.

It's not that he doesn't believe that Major Crowley will help him fulfill Anderson's last wish, it's just that he wants to find someone who he doesn't hate and is more trustworthy to complete this matter.

The command post was still busy, but Ma Run was kicked out as soon as Ivan got there.

I could see Ma Run's envious look towards him after leaving. After all, there was only one person who could make the actual commander of the 3rd Battalion receive such a grand reception, even if he was only a sergeant, not even the lowest-ranking officer.

When the orderly had withdrawn, Major Crowley pointed to a chair for him to sit on.

"I already know about the battle process of the No. 8 artillery position. He is very brave and tenacious." He still has the same attitude, "I express my regret for Anderson's death. He is a very good fighter and deserves to be awarded a posthumous Navy Cross."

"Don't you mention anything about the army's retreat?" Ivan said indifferently.

Regarding this point, Major Crowley laughed out loud instead: "The entire Second Marine Division, everyone knows everyone, and the third-rate bastards who expect the Army to stay behind, might as well expect the little devils to be stupid enough to shoot themselves. Own."

"You know this, and you still issued this order?" Ivan stared at Major Crowley, "For your damn desire and military exploits, you took the life of my comrade-in-arms!"

Major Crowley did not deny it, and said indifferently: "Then I will not mention any high-sounding reasons, but just tell you one thing - the fate of the artillery company is closely related to you, including me, we are all grasshoppers on a rope, If there is any problem with this company, whether it is you, or me, or even those comrades you cherish, they will be punished most severely."

"Then why do we use Army artillery, we are the Marine Corps—!"

"Whether it's before or after the war, it doesn't make sense to say such things... Originally, the army commander didn't agree to allocate an artillery battery to you, but it was just because of pressure from certain parties that he had to do so. "

Major Crowley's eyes flickered with helplessness: "It is the Army Department that really enabled Group G to command the artillery company. No one knows when the war will end, but war is always the best way to temper. The Army's main energy is in Europe. , That is a large plain, which needs artillery support more than the Pacific region, especially when the artillery shells are not enough, it is especially necessary for the artillery to be accurate enough."

"That is to say, this artillery company specially provided to the G team is to accumulate more experience, and then let the new experience replace the old experience?"

If this is the case, Captain Johnson Williams took the lead and ran away, leaving only the infantry who had nothing to do with the artillery for the second time, which makes sense.

The infantry tactics of the United States have improved too much from the beginning of World War II until 2022. It is nothing more than adapting to more modern operations-small-scale assaults that are broken into parts.

However, the techniques and tactics of the navy, air force, and artillery have been updated and iterated.From ferocious firepower coverage to precision strikes, to the final large number of drones put into the battlefield to replace artillery observers, and even loaded with missiles to attack important military facilities, and the dimensionality reduction strikes demonstrated in the Gulf War-electronics, information chemical warfare.

"No one knows what the future of war will look like, but the artillery will never be replaced. If you still hold on to the old experience, France is the best end." Major Crowley said, "The artillery provided to you The company needs to adapt to a very fast communication system, as well as rapid strikes without calibration at all. This has extremely high requirements for maps, coordinates, troop quality, and training conditions. You can adapt to too lengthy training, and as the number of battles increases, you can accumulate new experience and even develop new artillery tactics."

Just like the experience Sergeant Lisson taught Ivan during the Battle of Guadalcanal, those precious things made him, who is called a veteran, actually fight a bloody battle, grow up rapidly, and summed up from the old experience based on actual combat. New things.

"War is full of blood and slaughter, regret and pain, but it can make technological and tactical progress by leaps and bounds." Major Crowley blocked Ivan's resentment a little bit, "Perhaps you will ask, is it enough to live? Why? Why do we need to ensure the safety of the artillery? Isn’t human life more expensive than those? But I can tell you clearly-whether it is us or the army, the spare artillery and shells are not as sufficient as you think. And... .Yes, there is nothing wrong with your opinion of me. I, a major with no background and nothing to do, is insignificant in the entire US military, but what I want most is something that you don't seem to care about at all!"

"I will not lie to you."

Major Crowley emphasized one point: "It is considered correct within the Army that artillerymen do not resist and choose to flee, because they are all artillerymen who have accumulated a lot of experience in precision strikes, which are very valuable-but it is undeniable that regardless of this Whether the team's mission is so important, Captain Johnson Williams will escape, but his escape is given a mission, the first time he even forgot his mission because of panic and fled alone, but the second time he organized the precious artillery Take it away first."

In fact, whether it was World War I or World War II, artillery is a standard technical arm. Although it is not as expensive as pilots, if there is a gunner who can shoot wherever he points and hit the target without calibration, then Maybe it can be as expensive as the pilot.

Even so, Ivan was still aggrieved in his heart.

Human hearts are made of flesh. He chose emotion instead of rationality. He had to sacrifice his own people for the sake of the elite artillerymen. As the commander of Group G, he couldn't just pretend that nothing happened.

"But there has to be an explanation."

"Court-martial." Major Crowley replied, "Every soldier who fled against Captain William's order at that time will be sent to a court-martial. Are you satisfied with this treatment?"

"ridiculous!"

Although the gang of trash fled in the end, at least they emptied their bullets on the ground.We can't expect the company headquarters and artillery platoon to stay, nor can we expect the remaining ammunition and maintenance teams to have combat effectiveness, but at least we can help transport ammunition.

It is only 500 meters away from Chalan Noka. There is no need to drive a car to deliver it, and the army infantry who stay behind will not have no ammunition to transport it back and forth on two legs.

"Just let this matter stop here." He said, "The relationship in the army is complicated. It's not as simple as saying that one is one and the other is two. If you want to shake Captain William, it's very simple... ..catch the things you don't like, and then climb up, and climb up by any means."

"..."

As a reincarnation, at this moment, I can only be silent.

"If you really want to get back at him, take advantage of what he's bound to give you, and take this opportunity to get you to the top—trust me, big men are good at avoiding suspicion."

While saying this, Major Crowley suddenly changed the topic: "I will help you transfer Foudino away during this time, and then add some veterans. How about like Sergeant Edward?"

Yiwen's pupils suddenly shrank at this moment.

"They didn't talk to you?"

Major Crowley sighed: "Fortino put the gun to the army's head and forced them to die--a third-rate bastard in a court-martial will definitely say this. You may not care about some things, but you Don't you care that your dead comrades have these things?"

One thing to say, I just came back from the No. 8 artillery position. When I ran to the north side of the position, I only saw the army infantry fleeing. I didn't know that such a thing happened on the position.

Foudino, this guy... is not so timid.

Looking at the United States during World War II, there were not many similar incidents. There were so many deserters on the European battlefield. When the war ended, only a few guys who committed more than 100 crimes were shot. You must know that there are tens of thousands of deserters. .

Foudino is affiliated with Ma Run, and forcing the army to charge with a gun will definitely cause a huge conflict between the two armies that are not affiliated with each other. The moment it breaks out, a corporal like him will be crushed to pieces.

Ivan could imagine how urgent the situation was at that time, and if it was him, he would do the same, or even go too far.

So, he took a deep breath and asked, "Is there any way to keep Foudino?"

"Are you sure you want to keep him?" Major Crowley's eyes flashed with disappointment.

"determine."

As soon as the words fell, Major Crowley slapped the table and almost roared: "Idiot, are you worthy of the dead Harry and Anderson?"

The problem is more serious than Ivan imagined.

Keeping Foudino is likely to mean that the previous military exploits, a Silver Star, and the Navy Cross just mentioned will most likely have to be wasted.

Dead comrades can’t come back to life, the only thing that can help them is stacking medals, it’s best to get the Medal of Honor, even if the United States will show off against Kanglian before the end of the Cold War—that’s a world sitting in the nuclear war The golden age that was on the powder keg of war was missed by the workers.

"Is there no new way out?"

Ivan thought calmly, "We don't know anything about those deserters, and they don't know anything about what Foudino did."

"So you're stupid."

Major Crowley sighed, "People like you will only be torn to pieces by the political vortex. After tonight, the high-level will change, don't you have the slightest notice? Now, what do you think is a line that both parties are satisfied with?" In the end, it will only be used to appease the resentment of the Army.”

Then he added: "Only dead people in the world can keep their mouths shut."

"I go......"

With a bang, Major Crowley slapped the table again, and his whole body was as angry as a volcano erupting.

Ivan, who had fought several bloody battles, naturally didn't have the slightest bit of fear, but he also knew that his thoughts just now were a bit stupid. He didn't lose his calm but acted subconsciously.

"Hohoo..."

After taking a deep breath, Major Crowley said slowly: "There are two ways, either to abandon Foudino, or... the best ending is not to go to the military court, but to be arranged to the most dangerous place, such as vanguard."

Foudino's becoming a vanguard means that Ivan, a member of Group G, will also serve as a vanguard.

In fact, he could refuse, but to do so would be to abandon Fortino.Since you have to abandon him in the end, why not abandon him from the beginning?

Hypocritical posturing is not Evan's style.

Anderson said that Foudino would kill the Whisperer, the kind without hesitation.Wouldn't it be a good thing to kick this guy out of the team and add veterans like Sergeant Edward?

——Do you need to hesitate about this matter?

——Aren't Harry and Anderson important because of emotion?

When the heart demon representing absolute rationality said such words, Ivan already knew how to make a choice.

The moment when rationality raises emotion, it means that this guy has grown to a certain extent, and gradually becomes as terrifying as a black hole. The moment he obeys it, he will be dragged into it, and finally immersed in the abyss.

Therefore, he did not choose the path given by reason.

"The living are more important, and I will not abandon Foudino."

"you sure?"

"I'm sure."

Seeing Ivan's unshakable posture, Major Crowley's eyes became indifferent, as if he had been removed from the ranks of his confidantes.

"You won't get veteran supplements, and at the same time..."

He paused for a while after speaking, as if hesitating.

A few seconds later, Major Crowley came over, patted Ivan on the shoulder and said, "Since you didn't choose the path I expected, that's the end of our relationship...Finally, regarding the matter of the medal, I I will do my best to help you, this is the last thing I can do for you, please don't have any expectations."

"Thank you, then please tell me about Anderson..."

Before Ivan finished speaking, the major interrupted him with interrogative sentences.

"You chose the living instead of the dead, are you sure you want to know?"

"determine."

"..."

Ivan held the letter written by Anderson to himself and looked at the sun slowly rising from the horizon. It obviously brought a lot of warmth to his skin, but it only made him feel the coldness that penetrated deep into his bones.

The woman Anderson was talking about, the girl named Emily Luntai, was someone else's wife.

Maybe I just heard about this and thought how disgusting this guy is. Staring at other people's wives, coupled with that lewd look, will always make the bystanders feel uncomfortable, but everything is a disguise.

He didn't want people to know the truth of the matter.

Emily Luntai was the wife of an American Marine, whose wife Anderson did not know.

True, he didn't know.

Except for the letter addressed to Ivan, among those letters, the other six or seven letters were transferred to him through countless transfers. The last time they transferred was during the Battle of Guadalcanal Island. When Anderson's squad leader was seriously injured, he handed over the transferred letters to over him.

No one knows who the real original owner is after so many changes of hands, but every rough embryo who took over the last wish chose to hand over the letter to Emily by himself without hesitation.

Maybe it was from the third transfer, the guys who took over felt a little heavy and didn't dare to bear it, thinking that they could pass it on to the next person, or maybe they really had a heart.

Anderson mentioned the lover of his dreams countless times, obviously taking the letter and the woman on the other side of the ocean as his spiritual sustenance - he didn't really want to take away his wife, he just needed a yearning and concern to maintain a stable spirit.

"Today is his 18th birthday."

Anderson, who claimed to have had a good time with several women, was only 17 years old before today and was a standard chick.

Ivan picked up the whiskey he bought by bribing the quartermaster with some money, and drank it in a quiet place where no one was around.

Anderson's last wish was too heavy, it was the spiritual sustenance of a veteran, but the reincarnation couldn't help him fulfill his last wish.

"During the war, I wrote this letter, perhaps because of my overconfidence—I don't think that the gambling king and I will not survive the war, so I would like to cherish and invite my dear officer and trustworthy comrade-in-arms to come. I'm a guest at home."

"If you read this letter, please don't laugh at me... It is definitely the first time in my life to invite someone to my house."

"What? My friend, you must be thinking about this kind of thing. Do you think a handsome guy like me will have friends? Wherever I go, my peers will only look at me with jealousy. Who keeps those girls around me forever."

"Lawrence Ivan, let's not add a [Sergeant]...Maybe it should be a [Lieutenant] in the future? [Captain]? Anyway, we have gone through one bloody battle after another together, and spent one Another catastrophe, Harry's death is the end rather than the beginning, working together to usher in the spring of victory."

"As veterans, we must never forget the time we spent together — well, veterans... we weren't even 20 years old."

"By the way, I invite everyone to my house as a guest. Dear Mr. Yiwen, please keep it secret for me, because I am still writing to Shanzi and the others... When the time comes, I will tell you For each of them, only the recipient himself was invited."

"Let the two of us secretly create a huge surprise for them!"

Anderson, who wrote the letter, looks to the future.

He firmly believes that the victory will belong to the United States, and he also firmly believes that all members of the G team after Harry's death will live to the end.I imagined that even if only a group of big bosses gather together in the future, they can drink and play with each other without any violations.

"ton ton ton ton..."

Like drinking water, Ivan drank heavily from the bottle of whiskey, and the alcohol continued to flow down his throat into his abdomen.

In just a few minutes, he smoked a pack of cigarettes and wiped out a whole bottle of whiskey. The alcohol paralyzed his nerves and left him in a state of intoxication. He couldn't recognize the way back, so he just fell to the ground Drowsy, drowsy, and then passed out.

During the period, I always felt that someone was pulling me, but when I slowly opened my eyes, I only felt that the world was spinning. Judging from the figure and outline, if it is not bad, the person behind my back should be Foudino.

"Sir, are you awake?"

"Um...uh huh..."

"I had a showdown with Peter." Foudino said, "It wasn't the showdown like last time, but I told him directly what I wanted to do—even though Anderson told me not to do that before he died, I couldn't go against it own heart."

"Um......"

"I won't let you bear everything alone, absolutely not." Foudino said firmly, "In this world, I don't care about anyone except you."

......

......

On June 6, a major earthquake occurred at the top of the US military attacking Saipan in the morning.

Ralph Smith, the commander of the 27th Division of the Army, was dismissed and replaced by Major General Sandford Jarman. The commander of the Marine Corps dismissed the division commander with a tough stance, which immediately caused an uproar in Pearl Harbor and Washington.
