v5 Chapter 32: Night attack

In Idaho, the pocket array that the US military has painstakingly arranged is in the final battle. Obviously, Pershing was very dissatisfied with the result of only a small fish in the net. After tightening the encirclement, he began to think about the strategic plan.

"Your Excellency Commander, we might consider ambushing enemy reinforcements halfway!" Douglas MacArthur proposed

Pershing's eyes lit up, and then it dimmed again. The enemy's reinforcements were at least tens of thousands. How to ambush?

A small number of people is not good enough, and a large number of people cannot be kept confidential. The plan is a good plan, but it is difficult to complete when it is implemented!

"No way, MacArthur, we cannot keep secrets when we mobilize the army. The enemy already knows our situation and it is impossible not to take precautions!" Pershing denied.

Douglas MacArthur said unwillingly: "We can disguise and let troops enter in batches. The enemy's march must be very long. Wait for the night to launch a sneak attack!"

Pershing thought for a while and said, "Your plan is only suitable for small groups of troops. No matter how disguised we are, we will not be able to send hundreds of thousands of troops there without being discovered by the enemy!"

Douglas MacArthur asked rhetorically: "Why do we have to have hundreds of thousands of troops? If we only dispatch tens of thousands of troops and disperse them to disguise as regional militias, even if the enemy finds them, they will not pay attention!

And I also found a problem. Our troops are very conducive to night operations. As long as the soldiers' uniforms are dyed black, the enemy will not find anything under the cover of night! "

Pershing thought for a while and said, "Well, you can try it, I hope you can succeed! But before that, we still have to eat this enemy as soon as possible, and then go to deal with the enemy's reinforcements! "

With ten times the strength of troops, Pershing said that there is nothing wrong with this, they have the confidence to eat the Japanese army in a short time.

Confidence does not equate to strength, and the US military, which is in charge of the offensive, was quickly beaten in the face.

Due to the lack of adequate training, American soldiers performed very badly. They often swarmed when attacking. They failed to carefully search for the enemy's weak points, and failed to cooperate with artillery in an orderly manner. The result was naturally disastrous!

Three days have passed, and the Japanese army is still huddled in a spot, stubbornly holding on to the position. Even though they have suffered heavy casualties now, this battle still has no intention of ending!

Douglas MacArthur had already set off with the troops. This future five-star general was just a lieutenant colonel a few months ago. Now he is the commander of the US First Army.

This war is seen as an opportunity to become a hero. As long as the sneak attack is completed, the enemy's reinforcements are hit hard, and the main force is then driven into the sea, the battle will be alive.

With the prestige of a big victory, the United States of America has the capital to negotiate with the League of Nations to end this war that should not have occurred.

As a key figure in the turning point of this war, he-Douglas MacArthur is naturally the hero of this country!

The reality is always cruel. Douglas MacArthur knew the trouble was when he brought the troops out. Although the black uncles were brave in the war, they were really messy in terms of records.

Because it was a rapid march, Douglas MacArthur did not notice at first, but when he arrived at the reserved place, he counted the number of people and suddenly discovered that the war had not yet begun, and a regiment of soldiers had already been lost.

If you lose it, you will lose it. It is very normal for the army to fall behind in a hurry. What worries him most is that many officers can't find soldiers, and soldiers can't find officers. They are all gathered together!

These are all minor problems. He is also a famous player in the future. Although he became a famous player after a lot of defeats, he still has basic abilities.

Douglas MacArthur decisively ordered: "Order the troops to lead the people in the order of their establishment, and they will be assigned by themselves!"

Let it mess, this is not the first time, he already has a wealth of experience in handling. Although he knew that the group of soldiers under his hand was a mob, he was still full of confidence in this action!

The order Pershing gave him was to injure the enemy as hard as possible, and if he couldn't do it, he would retreat, disrupt the order of the enemy, and delay their marching speed.

As long as you complete any of the above tasks, it doesn't matter if the entire army is annihilated, you can win strategically!

Therefore, the supplies they carry are also very limited. There is no retreat. As long as the mission is completed, he can take some officers to hide in nearby towns. This army is already abandoned.

...

At dusk, the Japanese had arrived outside the city of Wells, a dozen kilometers away from the ambush site MacArthur had prepared. Now that the US army is ready to move again, MacArthur doesn't think the Japanese army will come over at this time. Of course, they have to move to the next ambush point.

As a foreigner, it is impossible for the Japanese soldiers to enter the city to rest. Unless they are robbed, the Japanese soldiers will not approach the American residential areas alone, which means danger.

In a country where all the people are armed with guns, it is better to converge and keep up with the big army, otherwise you may eat peanuts at any time. This is a lesson learned by countless Japanese soldiers with blood!

Naturally, Yusaku Uehara will not make this kind of mistake again. The opportunity for robbery is always there. Now it is important to save people. The Second Army has been trapped in the enemy's encirclement for three days. It may be finished at any time. How could he delay time? What?

An officer suddenly ran up to Uehara Yusaku and said: "Report, Commander, General Kojiro Uchiyama has sent a telegram for help again. The U.S. military is attacking day and night, and they are almost unable to withstand it!"

Yusaku Uehara yelled: "Trash, it's simply a loss of the face of the Imperial Japanese Army. Tell them to hold on to me! Order the troops to increase their marching speed and take another 20 kilometers before resting!"

With his order, the Japanese soldiers who should have camped and rested had to continue on their way. The car was born, but the Japanese army is not proud of it. Soldiers can get in the car. His main way of marching is still two legs!

This is the United States. How can the movements of the Japanese army be hidden from the US army? Although the American people are very dissatisfied with this administration, compared with the Japanese army, they still know which one to choose.

Having just packed up his belongings, MacArthur, who was about to transfer, decisively chose to stop after receiving the information, and waited for the Japanese soldiers to deliver him.

As time passed, and night had fallen, the Japanese soldiers had to turn on their flashlights to continue marching, suddenly increasing the distance by 20 kilometers. Even if they were well trained, they were still exhausted.

Douglas MacArthur smiled. He never dreamed that he would encounter such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! What is easier than attacking a tired teacher?

Looking at the long march of the Japanese army against the army, MacArthur decisively let go of the front and the middle army. His target was easier for the Japanese rear army. In addition to being easier to obtain, the Japanese army's logistics were also in the rear army, as long as he succeeded. The strategic purpose of the company has been achieved!

He didn't care what would happen to the Japanese army without supplies. As a great Americanist, he has long been very dissatisfied with the non-resistance policy of the states. If the local militia can fight the Japanese army, he would not mind pushing it!

MacArthur asked: "How much has the Japanese army passed?"

The adjutant thought for a while and said: "The Japanese army has walked out of our ambush for about five kilometers, about three kilometers are passing by, and two kilometers have not entered the ambush!"

That's right, they couldn't count the number of enemy troops in the dark. It was the only way to infer the number of enemies directly by judging the length of the marching pair.

MacArthur thought for a while and said: "Order the troops to prepare for battle and launch an offensive in half an hour!"

"Yes!" the adjutant replied

I have to say that Uncle Hei really took advantage at night, and the Japanese army just regarded them as air at a distance of a few hundred meters.

The waiting time is always long, tick, tick, half an hour finally passed, and all the rear army of the Japanese army also entered the ambush circle, MacArthur gave an order: "Offensive!"

Then the American soldiers launched an attack on the exhausted Japanese army in accordance with the pre-rehearsal!

With the sudden attack, the Japanese army was directly beaten and blinded. The enemy was completely dark from top to bottom. Many Japanese soldiers thought they had encountered a ghost! Fortunately, these ghosts are also afraid of bullets, otherwise it is estimated that these logistics soldiers have collapsed now!

This is caused by the unique military system of the Japanese. Usually they are accustomed to placing the most capable main force in the front army, so that they can explode the most powerful combat force during battle; while the logistics forces with low combat effectiveness are used. In the rear army, the enemy has been dealt with by the front troops, and the rear army is naturally the safest!

Unexpectedly this time, they met MacArthur, a brave guy who didn't play cards according to common sense. They just brought the troops to die!

The purpose of the Americans was very clear. They used tens of thousands of cannon fodder troops to severely damage the reinforcements of this coalition force. They were completely profitable!

Such use of troops is naturally unimaginable for normal people, but the current US Army is no longer normal The people who defend this country have become the lowest level of society, and other classes have betrayed this. country!

The officers who command this army are also radicals, and they don't care about the casualties of the soldiers!

It happened that the black uncles were well-developed and simple-minded. They were good cannon fodder troops. They were taken to death. They didn't know. Maybe they thought they could fight three of these Japanese dwarfs one by one!

The battle in the rear quickly attracted the attention of Yusaku Uehara, who was commanding the soldiers to encamp. The intensive gunfire made the battlefield veteran aware of the problem and subconsciously said: "Send someone to see what happened behind. ?"

Before the guards could go far, an officer ran up to him and said, "Report, Commander, our rear army has been attacked by the enemy. We are now fighting the enemy and requesting support!"

Yusaku Uehara reacted at once, and subconsciously said, "Worse, our supplies are all in the rear army. Once it falls into the enemy's hands, the consequences will be disastrous! Order the 3rd, 4th, 16th, and 19th divisions to go the same way. Back to reinforcements!"

When the Japanese reinforcements arrived, it was too late, and the vehicles carrying supplies had already been patronized by the U.S. Army. With a Molotov cocktail, how could MacArthur not be prepared for a sneak attack?

The battle is still going on, the raging fire has ignited, and the Japanese soldiers can only watch the materials burned down, they are still busy fighting!

Under the effect of the drug, the US soldiers have now fallen into a state of enthusiasm. Under the cover of night, they did not know that the officer who commanded them had quietly left the battlefield and disappeared into the night!
