Bogson was the commander of the Sixth Infantry Division. Faced with the Japanese interception, he was originally prepared to break through. However, as more Japanese troops appeared on the frontal battlefield and began to build fortifications in a grand manner, he again
Looking at the state of his troops, he immediately became scared.
Originally from the Civil War, the Northern Confederate Army, composed of emerging factory owners, was particularly pursuing logistical supplies because of its industrial benefits. This resulted in that after the Northern Confederacy won the final victory, the U.S. military began to go further and further down this path.
Far away, and then there was the extravagant and lustful fighting style of the US military in World War II that Ouyang Yun knew about in that time and space.
During World War II in that time and space, if Ouyang Yun was asked to evaluate the Pacific War, his evaluation of the two major participating countries, Japan and the United States, was that little Japan was pitiful and the Yankees were really wealthy. He said little Japan was pitiful because no matter how small it was,
Whether Japan uses mole tactics or human sea tactics can certainly cause trouble to the Yankees at the beginning, but it cannot withstand the Yankees' dollar offensive. Yes, in the final analysis, the Yankees' biggest reliance on winning the Pacific War is the U.S. dollar.
Little Japan is digging holes everywhere? The Yankee said: "It's okay, I have enough cannons and enough fire-breathing tanks." Little Japan is all soldiers? The Yankee just laughed: "Goodbye, I have an aerial fortress."
And Molotov cocktails, that’s not enough? It doesn’t matter, I still have ‘Little Boy’ and ‘Fat Man’.”
Let’s see, after three months of not being able to get supplies from the mainland, what happened to Borgerson’s men. There were holes in the uniforms. Not to mention the holes, the most shabby thing is that all of them were rich, handsome and typical Americans.
Most of the images of soldiers nowadays are just clothes racks. When the wind blows, the clothes on their bodies will flutter. American soldiers are not little devils. The staple food of little devils is rice, and they are tough enough. For them, every day
A rice ball and a few grains of salt are enough for a day's consumption. American soldiers are not good. Without bread, they may not die immediately, but they will become skinny sooner or later. This is not the main reason why American soldiers become clothes hangers, damn it
Tropical climate, coupled with the natural pampering. Well, this is well documented. There was a military doctor named Brad under Bogson. He had the habit of keeping a diary. And his daily diary
In it, there are almost all such complaints, that is, so-and-so has malaria again, or so-and-so has diarrhea again.
Not to mention that when they were in Australia, the Japanese had torn off the dignity of American soldiers and threw them into the sea. Even without the painful lessons of the Australian War, Americans would not have dared to fight without morale, supplies, or fire support.
Next, chatting with the little devil.
Since breaking in is a joke, American soldiers fully realize the value of the phrase "ally". What? The Japanese killed too many of their people in Australia. It's a joke, the great American people are open-minded and don't like to hold grudges, okay?
?
So, when Bogson received Eisenhower's latest instructions and was scratching his head and worrying about figuring out the military commander on the opposite side, one of his staff officers ran out quietly, and then just spent a few sword cards.
Cigarettes and a can of Chinese Coke were enough to get the information I wanted.
What many military historians in later generations talked about was that when they later inspected the Pacific Theater, they found many products marked "Made in China" in many former military bases of the US military and Japanese troops. Among them, not only
Disposable lighters and canned Cokes, as well as cigarettes of Great Wall, Dadao and other brands. As for electronic watches and radios, well, there are also a lot of discoveries. In other words, even in China and the United States and Japan, which are at war
At that time, American soldiers and Japanese soldiers were still proud to own a disposable lighter or a pack of cigarettes from China. Therefore, in the writings of many military historians, when describing this new Pacific War, they often use
Such concluding remarks: "From small to large, it can be seen that the United States and Japan did not lose unfairly."
When Eisenhower received Bogson's call back, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Soeharto's name. Then when he saw the three unfamiliar names behind him, his face suddenly became ugly.
Allies, so Eisenhower had information on all Japanese generals and above. Coincidentally, there was a bracket after these three names, with the words "serious hatred of America" or "hatred of America" written inside.
"What to do now?" Nimitz was even more anxious than Eisenhower. The navy is different from the army. The army lacks supplies. The most serious ones are food, ammunition and even firearms. The navy needs massive amounts of oil, and once the oil supply is insufficient,
, then the majestic warship cannot be called a weapon of war, but has become a living coffin. Nimitz so eagerly hoped that Eisenhower could open up the situation in Mindanao because he knew that Mindanao has the largest oil refinery in Southeast Asia.
. He was still counting on getting enough oil from this refinery, but now the road is blocked. How can he not be in a hurry?
What solution did Eisenhower have? He would not dare to use force, so he could only take a roundabout route. The old American man was really anxious. He summoned his men to discuss for a long time, and finally came up with a solution that was not a solution, that is, betting that the Japanese would not dare
I really wanted to shoot, so I just resorted to rolling around and shamelessly forcing my way through.
It is hard for a famous general to adopt this rogue method for the survival of his army. And if he can really use this to bring two to three hundred thousand US troops out of the Philippines, then this move will not bring him historical infamy.
It would also win him honor. But unfortunately, his opponent, Gu Xianyi, had obviously expected this and had made arrangements early on.
The great gift that Gu Xianyi prepared for Eisenhower was Jiukuishan Er.
Kukui Sanji, even in the military history books of later generations of Japan, is a controversial figure. What makes him controversial among the world is his extremely hostile attitude towards America. Of course, if he had not been able to successfully concoct Placer
In this incident, given his status as a colonel, it was absolutely impossible for him to get involved and become an important figure in the military history of Japan in later generations.
Ever since he had a bad encounter with Gu Xianyi, Suharto has become more cautious, not daring to be careless in the slightest. Under his command, the Japanese soldiers of the three divisions worked hard, and in just a few
A decent defense fortification was built within hours. However, he breathed a sigh of relief and was about to find a shady place to drink a cup of herbal tea when someone came over and reported immediately, saying: "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff
, something bad happened! The Americans broke through!”
(Old poison: goggles, autumn camouflage, really tall and tall! Hundreds of fighter planes are dispatched at the same time! There are not many people in the world who have this ability?! I am Chinese! I am proud!)
