When MacArthur and Nimitz returned to Sentai Taiwan on the USS Lincoln super aircraft carrier, the entire Sentai Taiwan Island had been filled with Allied warships, and it seemed that they had returned to the day of the large-scale landing.

But when the two set their sights on the coastline, they saw the bodies of soldiers wrapped in white cloth and a large number of wounded lying on the shore.

Logistics staff are trying to find ways to transport the bodies and wounded onto warships and then transfer them to Australia and Hawaii.

Many naval officers and soldiers, like MacArthur and Stilwell, stood on the deck and looked blankly at the wounded and the corpses of their colleagues on the shore, with complicated expressions.

The port was damaged in a Japanese suicide attack, and engineers are working hard to repair it.

MacArthur and Nimitz could only go ashore on landing ships.

After landing, the two first went to the wounded barracks to inspect and express condolences to the injured soldiers.

In the wounded barracks, MacArthur and Nimitz saw thousands of soldiers who were physically normal but had serious mental problems.

The condition of these soldiers is worse than those of the wounded who were directly hit by gunfire. They are either silent, with fright and horror in their eyes, huddled in a small ball, and are extremely vigilant to the people and things around them;

Or they roar hysterically, beating people and smashing things like a madman. Only tranquilizers can make them quiet for a moment.

Because of the tremendous pressure and bloodshed, mentally disturbed soldiers often appear in the army. MacArthur and Nimitz always knew this.

But they never expected that the number of soldiers with mental problems would exceed one thousand.

What happened in the past two days?

They only learned about the battle that took place during the typhoon from the reports here.

But words can only describe one ten thousandth of the cruelty of war, and they cannot understand the pain and fear of frontline soldiers at all.

MacArthur and Nimitz couldn't bear to watch anymore, so they came to the office of the director of the field hospital to learn about the situation of the wounded from the director's mouth.

In subsequent conversations, MacArthur and Nimitz learned that there were at least three to five thousand soldiers with abnormal mental states.

The more than a thousand people in the hospital are just the most serious!

In the words of the dean, if possible, he hopes that these 5,000 people can leave the battlefield and receive professional psychological treatment.

In the director's opinion, these five thousand people are all patients.

It's just that the scale and manpower of field hospitals are very limited, and it is impossible to accommodate so many mentally disturbed soldiers at once.

Once this kind of thing is not handled well, it can easily affect innocent people and lead to large-scale bloodshed.

There are far more than these 5,000 people with mental problems, but in the opinion of the dean, the others can be cured through self-regulation or time.

MacArthur and Nimitz left the field hospital with heavy hearts.

From the time they got on the jeep to the Sendai headquarters, the two of them remained silent and looked solemn.

Many retreating soldiers could be seen on the road. They were in rags, dejected and without any morale at all.

MacArthur and Nimitz quickly walked into the Operation Downfall headquarters.

The situation here is slightly better than outside, and it is still the familiar busyness and tension.

General Stilwell, commander of the 10th Army, and General Clark, commander of the 6th Army, who had already received the news, greeted them at the gate.

MacArthur shook hands with the two men and kept saying words like "Thank you for your hard work."

The pleasantries at the door ended quickly, and the four of them walked into the combat command room together.

As the door slammed shut, the smiles on everyone's faces disappeared completely.

"What are the losses? Do we still have the ability to attack?" MacArthur asked.

General Stilwell and General Clark looked at each other, and the latter said:

"The casualties are not many and are within the tolerance of the Congress and the people. However, the reduction in the number of troops is not only due to casualties, but also due to other reasons."

Nimitz said coldly:

"Such as mental problems."

Generals Stilwell and Clark nodded simultaneously.

"The Japanese people are very crazy and perverted. You didn't see the scenes on the battlefield. If you had, I'm afraid you would have nightmares for a week."

General Stilwell said:

"It's not an exaggeration to say that corpses litter the fields, mountains of corpses and seas of blood. In rainy weather, corpses will soon rot and stink."

"The soldiers endured the stench and various discomforts in their hearts, cleaning the battlefield, burning and burying the corpses!"

It rains continuously, and if the rotting and smelly corpses are not disposed of in time, it will easily cause a plague, and then the entire army will be in danger.

The Japanese in the occupied areas were either killed or driven away, and the soldiers had to do the dirty work themselves.

The psychological impact can be imagined.

This is why the psychological problems of soldiers are so severe.

This shows how clever Jiangdong was in handing over the task of suppressing civilians to the naturalized army.

All the dirty work is left to the naturalized army, and Zhongxia's army can maintain the purity of an army.

The guns are not pointed at civilians, and there is no massacre involved. The violence in the hearts of soldiers can be suppressed to a certain extent, and the psychological problems will naturally be reduced.

"As long as the most affected divisions are moved to the rear for rest, the troops will still have the ability to continue attacking southward!" General Stilwell looked at the map of Japan and said:

"This attack by the Japanese has exhausted their material reserves. Although the army and the people are still so fanatical, without sufficient material support, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced!"

Nimitz and MacArthur finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing General Stilwell's words.

They were very afraid that the 600,000-strong army would be devastated because of this. In that case, Operation Decline would become a joke, and the entire East would become Zhongxia's sphere of influence.

Half an hour later, the door to the conference room reopened.

MacArthur and Nimitz are no longer gloomy, the former will go to the front line to inspect.

"After the weather cleared, the Japanese gave up the land they had gained during the counterattack and retreated back to the border between Fukushima and Sendai."

General Stilwell said to MacArthur.

The two of them had arrived at the position where the fiercest battle had been fought.

The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and rotting flesh and blood, and the ground underfoot was still wet and muddy.

The soil was dyed dark brown by flesh and blood, and blood accumulated in some low places. There were bursts of stench from these places.

MacArthur's leather boots stepped on the wet ground and occasionally came into contact with some human tissue that had not been cleaned.

Whenever encountering such a scene, General Stilwell would always say:

"These all belong to the Japanese people. They were beaten so badly that it makes sense that they cannot be cleaned up!"

MacArthur's face kept turning white, and his stomach was twitching.

But he suppressed all the discomfort with his extraordinary willpower and stayed on the front line for more than an hour.

The troops need to rest and recuperate, and supplies also need to be transported ashore. The Allies will not make any major movements in the next four or five days.

Tokyo, Japan’s base camp.
