Hardcore ruthless starts in the Pacific

The Army's "spokesperson" and Emperor MacArthur of the Philippines started preparing for a press conference, and even united with many Army leaders, such as Dwight David Eisenhower and George Cartlett Marshall, gearing up to give the Navy a hard blow.

45. Never abandon, never give up (5500 words)

At present, the Marine Corps is still affiliated with the Navy, and directly replacing a division commander without the consent of the boss of the Army Department will inevitably cause huge disturbances.

contradiction.

MacArthur would never let go of this opportunity. After all, he was very upset that Nimitz was dictating the strategy of the Pacific region, and wanted to take the opportunity to directly take over the command of the entire Pacific Fleet.

——I can fight wherever I want, and what I need to discuss with me is the admiral who obeys the command!

The subtext is: "Nimitz? I'm not Pride and Prejudice, and I admit that he did a good job, but sometimes everyone can understand... You can only be a strategist if you trust your own judgment, and I am Such a person, but Nimitz is not."

MacArthur, who was born in the old Stars and Stripes, could also listen to what Roosevelt Jr. said. After all, the American president who was re-elected for four terms was also born in the old Stars and Stripes.

Look at Truman in the back, he doesn't even care about it, let alone Nimitz, who was suddenly appreciated by Roosevelt Jr. after the Pearl Harbor incident and was quickly promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet and promoted to admiral.

The moment the vortex opens, it is impossible to stop, even if it seems to contain the contradictions.

After a whole day of fighting, the navy and army temporarily came to an end under Nimitz's peace and mud.

"I cannot accept the idea that Army units cannot be under the command of the Marine Corps, and the Marine Corps cannot be under the command of the Army."

The Hu card master, Admiral Chester William Nimitz, a German-American, offered a compromise.It's not that he's not interested in letting MacArthur open his mouth less. If possible, he would like to drive this guy away as soon as possible, but Nimitz is very clear about one thing-unity is more important than anything in the face of a big enemy.

Is there anything that can be resolved slowly after the war is over? Isn’t it giving the little devils a chance to make troubles before Saipan is completely taken over? ?

Thus, the Army can command the Marine Corps, and the Marine Corps can command the Army.

For Ma Run, who is still in Saipan, it is almost like building a government while watching the army's jokes, but for the army, this is tantamount to an insult to the entire army. After the division commander was dismissed in the morning, the officers and non-commissioned officers below, Even the soldiers felt ashamed and humiliated, and then kept submitting letters of invitation to the superiors—they had grown up and were no longer as cowardly and cowardly as before.

The conflict at the top level has been temporarily terminated, but it does not mean that the middle and low levels of the army will just let Ma Run ridicule and point, and learn a good news that can target Ma Run.

More than a dozen soldiers in Captain William's artillery company were about to be court-martialed for their disobedience and cowardice, but they didn't think they were guilty of much—what's the problem with retreating with all the ammunition empty?At that time, there was Ma Run who forced them to die with a gun against his head. Shouldn't he be court-martialed?

As Major Crowley said, even if they don't throw them in a court-martial, it is absolutely impossible to control that mouth.If Ivan really subconsciously rushed to kill the Quartet, he would not only be able to save Foudino, but also harm him, and even said that he would not only harm himself, but the entire G team would be implicated.

The details of the battle at the No. 8 artillery position are widely known... They are very smart, and they didn't mention a word. Captain Johnson William only left them and ran away with the rest.

Already feeling a little unhappy because the army suffered losses in the high-level battle, Foudino fell directly into a vortex from which he could not break free.

"I think Foudino is a brave fighter. He has been very brave in previous battles. Even if he makes frequent mistakes, he will not be court-martialed."

Major Crowley personally came to Aslit Airport to find the commander of the Second Marine Division and expressed his views.

"This problem is not about his personal performance. Washington has calmed down, and now something like this is happening in Saipan. If the commander does not have a bowl of water, I believe that guy will take the opportunity to jump out and make trouble. In general, protecting this corporal to death is not conducive to the overall situation, and it is not conducive to the stability of the army." The division commander frowned.

The division commander raised his head slowly, and found that the major was quite sympathetic to his subordinates. Thinking about his military achievements during this period of time, the proposal was very appropriate and helped him and the commander resolve a troublesome matter.

So he said: "This is not bad, at least it can shut up the army."

July 6th night.

Both the high-level vortex and the Saipan vortex have temporarily come to an end. The former has achieved satisfactory results, while the latter has shut up except for a few people.

Ivan fell asleep for a whole day because he was drunk, and when he woke up, he found that something was wrong with the atmosphere of Group G.

Yaz was far from his usual self, and Anderson's death had hit him hard, playing with matches sullenly.

Charlie likes to keep everything to himself, but at this moment he keeps staring at Fortuno with an incomprehensible twinkle in his eyes.

In fact, everyone was staring at Fortino, including Peter.

The latter sometimes clenched his fists and sometimes frowned nervously, as if there was a flame rising in his heart, but he had to suppress it because of some things.

Group G has changed from 7 people at the beginning to 5 people today.

The atmosphere will definitely not be as harmonious as before, but Yiwen always feels that the cohesion has dropped a lot.

'Mom, it's a mistake to drink. '

His head was dizzy, and his throat was dry and flaming.

After taking several sips of water, Ivan lit a cigarette and saw the order book on the table.

It was disassembled long before he woke up, and he took it out to take a look without any surprises—ordered Corporal Fodino of Group G to become the spearhead of the 8rd Battalion to attack Height 133 at 3:[-] tomorrow morning.

陆战2师6团3营也要投入对塔波乔山东侧阵地的进攻，原陆战6团预备队2营则接替3营打下来的塔波乔山西侧阵地。

"What do you think?"

Breathing out the smoke from his chest, Ivan stared at everyone present, "Give me a letter of approval."

Before Foudino could speak, Charlie asked first, "What do you mean?"

"Stay at the height of 132.2, or serve as a vanguard with Foudino." Ivan said calmly.

Choosing the former means abandoning your comrades in arms, and choosing the latter means taking great risks.

The so-called vanguard is not just a literal meaning, it is not as simple as the Japanese army sending out a small group of troops to conduct fire reconnaissance when they attack, there are many things that need to be done.

After the artillery preparations are over, set off immediately, and bring the communication device and telescope to the enemy's position about 150 meters away... If you encounter complex terrain, you may have to reach an area about [-] meters away, and check whether there is any knockout on the position The firepower point, and then provide coordinates to the artillery in the rear, and if necessary, it is necessary to fire a few shots to expose the enemy's firepower point.

What is the feeling of 150 meters and 100 meters?

Within this distance, the enemy can easily suppress you with firepower, and within the range of the grenade, if the enemy moves closer to where you are staying, throwing a grenade is enough to kill you.

And you can only rely on 81mm mortars to provide artillery fire cover when you are found to have to retreat-even if the 75mm howitzers that are now close to being eliminated should be within the enemy's contact distance, they will be scattered near the vanguard, not to mention 105 Howitzers, 155 howitzers, and more metaphysical naval guns.

All in all, the vanguard is to use all means to reduce the casualties of the follow-up attacking troops. Often only veterans can undertake such duties, and the casualty rate is extremely high.

"I'll make my statement first."

Ivan stubbed out his cigarette, "I won't give up Fortino."

As soon as this remark came out, the loyal dog immediately stood up, but just as he was about to speak, he was severely reprimanded by Ivan.

"Shut up, you don't have a place to talk here——!!!"

I must know the reason. It was nothing more than forcing the third-rate bastards to die with guns on the No. 8 position...but I didn't think that I would get such a severe punishment.

In fact, if it wasn't for the turmoil in the top management, it wouldn't be a big problem for Foudino to shoot a few deserters at that time, but just in time for this kind of time, Admiral Nimitz even came up with a compromise plan.

"I go."

Yaz, not Peter, was the second to raise his hand.

"There is no reason not to go," he said. "When my comrades in arms are in trouble, I stay in the safe rear. This is not my style of action, and no one is faster than me in terms of communication speed."

Peter stared at Yaz, wanted to say something but couldn't say a word.After a few seconds, he looked at Fortino, whose eyes were still full of determination, and really wanted to scold Yazi severely, "Are you an idiot for riding a horse!?"

So he also raised his hand.

"I have no reason not to go."

The things Peter didn't want to see appeared one after another, but he thought that as long as he was still there, he would be able to stop everything that frightened him.

"Charlie, what about you?"

Ivan slowly turned his gaze to the Navajo people.

The moment a few eyes moved over, Charlie couldn't help shivering, and his body began to tremble irregularly. Perhaps it was the first close combat with the Japanese army last night, and he also saw Anderson die like this. The resulting symptoms, the kind of fear that pierced his bone marrow made him shake his head violently.

"Okay, Charlie, you stay at the battalion headquarters to stabilize communications and provide artillery support."

"As ordered, sir."

Charlie curled up on the camp bed and answered in a low voice.

Two Navajos can go to one, not all of them.

After arranging everything, Ivan rubbed his eyebrows and walked out of the station to get some air.

Anderson's death alone wouldn't have changed the atmosphere of Group G like this, something must have happened.

'When I was drunk in the morning, it seemed that Foudino brought me back? '

'If I remember correctly, he seemed to say something? '

Ivan tried his best to search in his memory, but everything he heard and saw when he was drunk didn't seem to remain in his memory at all, or maybe he was thinking too much.

'Drinking is too much trouble, next time you need to use alcohol to numb yourself, think more about what happened in this reincarnation. '

Although most of Ma Run rested at night, there were arrangements to be on duty.Ivan retained the habit of collecting intelligence in his spare time, even if most of the information was useless in actual combat, it was not a reason to let it go.

First of all, Ma Run felt that the punishment for Foudino was a bit too much-did our comrades really shoot the deserters?Traveling thousands of miles to rescue your army, you are not only ungrateful, but even fleeing in fear. It is understandable for Foudino to do this in order to organize defense.

A little sympathetic, but never thought of making trouble for Foudino.

In the final analysis, this guy's popularity is too low, whether he is an officer or an ordinary soldier, he has heard of this guy's deeds more or less.

He doesn't fit in with the group, and even fights with his comrades when he doesn't agree with each other. The number of confinement times is ridiculous.

Not to mention contacting it, just hearing about it will make a very bad first impression.

In this case, do you expect to run over and shout for you when something goes wrong?

Another factor is that Ma Run heard that the army commander directly killed an army commander, not to mention how happy he was, if he didn't stay in Saipan, he would gather together and open champagne to celebrate.

The good side will naturally impact the bad side. Ivan ran into Lieutenant Klaus when he turned around... Oh no, he is now Captain Klaus, the commander of Company A, and he has been promoted to the captain of the Marine Corps Sir Edward.

"Sergeant Yiwen, I haven't seen you all day, where did you go?"

The sharp-eyed Captain Claus immediately waved to him.

"I hid under the covers and cried a lot."

Ivan walked over and said, "After all, one person was killed on my side, and that was my cherished comrade-in-arms."

"Sorry about Anderson." Sergeant Edward sighed, "It's definitely a pity."

"I've heard about what happened to you at the No. 8 artillery position." Captain Claus said, "It's okay to let Foudino be a vanguard, but he can't just ignore his previous achievements and revoke his application for the medal. I really don’t know what the boss is thinking.”

"The facts are established, there is nothing to say." Ivan replied.

"Tomorrow, Company A will continue to take on the main attack mission, inserting into Height 133 from the flank." Captain Klaus said, "I hope Sergeant Ivan can help me remind Foudino, if you can't force it, don't force it. He is a meritorious non-commissioned officer."

"Team G will be with him."

After saying these words, both the captain and the sergeant were stunned for a moment, their eyes flashed with astonishment.

"You're not kidding, are you?" Captain Klaus stared at Ivan, "Don't tell me this is reality, Sergeant Ivan...you're going to be a vanguard—!?"

"That's right, Captain." Ivan nodded, "I will not abandon my subordinates, nor will I abandon my comrades in arms."

"This......"

Sergeant Edward was too shocked to speak.

I admire and think that the people I want to learn absolutely know the meaning of "Pioneering Soldiers". It is a mission where the casualty rate exceeds that of the pilots.

"It's the major..." Sergeant Edward.

"how is this possible!"

Captain Claus interrupted him.

"That's it, I'm going back to study the map." Ivan waved goodbye.

Looking at the distant figure, the two rough embryos who had seen Yiwen's ability only felt helpless in their chests.

"It's an unsolvable situation."

"Who can cruelly abandon his comrades?"

......

......

As soon as he got back to the station, he heard Peter having a nightmare inside, roaring and shouting at times, as if the god of death had entered his dream, and kept waving his sickle to harvest life.

Besides him, there was another Charlie, who made no less noise than Peter.

Foudino was at the door smoking a cigarette and cleaning his Chicago typewriter.

"About what Anderson explained."

Ivan beckoned, and Foudino came over immediately.

Thinking about it carefully, it is better to say it out. Although it is unlikely to change this guy's will, it can be regarded as his best effort.

"He told me to be careful about you."
