Chapter 1240 The US National Plan
1241 Marshall sat at home and didn't want to go to the command center. Now they went to the command center, and they wouldn't listen to them. And now the plan has been unfolded, and even if he wanted to stop it, he also sent a telegram to Hu Bin. Once the situation changes, I hope Hu Bin can help.
At this time, the American troops had arrived in Harrisburg. As soon as they arrived there, their formation began to unfold and slaughtered the Japanese troops outside the city of Harrisburg.
Just less than 5 minutes after the attack, a large number of Japanese tanks rushed out of the dense forest in the distance, and a large number of infantry were following behind.
"Oh, God, so many tanks?" The American soldiers attacking saw hundreds of tanks rushing towards them in the distance, and those tanks were firing at the American troops while driving.
"Damn it, there are Japanese armored troops here. Hurry up, order our armored troops to meet the enemy!" The commander behind shouted loudly.
What they didn't know was that in Pittsburgh, the Japanese tank troops also began to dispatch. However, the Japanese tanks were still dozens of kilometers away from Pittsburgh, and the Japanese tank troops would not attack Pittsburgh directly now, but would go around the south of Pittsburgh. They wanted to kill the entire American dispatch troops.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The American tanks quickly left the Japanese troops attacking the besieged city, and rushed towards the Japanese armored troops. The tanks on both sides began to fight.
The United States was equipped with Chinese tanks, and they also had their own tanks, which were mixed. They stopped the Japanese tanks, but the infantry behind continued to fight to the Japanese troops.
The American troops are still in the field and have no shelter. They can only fight back on the spot, but as they are fighting, they find something is wrong, because the Japanese troops seem to have half surrounded them, and the tanks are still fighting in the field, not caring about their infantry.
"Damn it, send a telegram to the headquarters. We found a large number of Japanese tanks here. We are dealing with Japanese tanks. Now there are a large number of Japanese soldiers here. They seem to be waiting for us. Please send more armored troops from the commander!" The American Lieutenant General who attacked Harrisburg said to the staff behind.
His troops are now facing the fierce attack of the Japanese. The key is that most of their American soldiers are new recruits. Now they are facing the fierce attack of Japanese troops, and without a bunker, their new recruits are very casualties. As the American troops are fighting, they find that Japanese troops are rushing towards their troops behind their troops.
"Damn it, we are also Japanese behind us. Are we surrounded?" the commander said in shock. Although the Japanese behind us had not rushed over yet, they would come up soon.
"Captain, what should we do? What should we do?" the staff officers behind said anxiously.
"It's a trap, it's really a trap! Damn!" The commander realized at this time that their attack was to get into the large siege arranged by Japan!
"Hurry, send a telegram to the commander. We have fallen into a trap. Japan just wants our troops to come out. Now order our troops to retreat quickly. Never block the main passage by Japanese troops. Japan must have arranged troops in Pittsburgh to let our troops retreat quickly!" The army leader shouted loudly.
"Yes!" The staff officer behind heard this and immediately ran out to send a telegram.
"We cannot surrender if we order our troops to fight to the death, and Japan will not let us capture them. Instead of being massacred by them, we might as well fight with the Japanese troops!" The commander said to the other staff officers.
He knew that he had no way out and he could not surrender. Once he surrendered, the Japanese would torture them to death and would never let them live!
"Yes!" The staff officers heard it and shouted loudly. They also knew that if they could not surrender, they would die, and it would be better to fight to the death.
At this time, in the Washington command center, MacArthur was waiting for the news from Harrisburg to come. He looked at the time and it was estimated that in less than an hour, good news would come over there.
"Commander, Commander!" At this time, a staff officer hurriedly ran in and said anxiously to MacArthur.
"Yeah?" MacArthur saw that he was like this and didn't know what was going on, so he started asking.
"Look, our troops have found many troops in Harrisburg, and also Japanese armored troops!" the staff officer said to MacArthur.
"What?" MacArthur and other senior staff officers heard it, all stood up and looked at the staff officer in disbelief. Then MacArthur took the telegram and looked carefully.
"God, haven't all the Japanese troops been transferred to Hu Bin's side? Why are there Japanese armored troops here?" MacArthur asked as he looked at the others.
"Report, General Johnnys' report, said that he hoped we would order the troops to retreat soon. He said that we had been trapped. Japan wanted to surround us and to pull our troops outside to fight. Now there may be a large number of Japanese troops in Pittsburgh, and they want to block our retreat route!" A staff officer came over and said to MacArthur with a telegram.
MacArthur took the telegram and looked carefully.
"It's over!" MacArthur finished reading the telegram and became soft.
He knew that Marshall's judgment was correct and Hu Bin's judgment was correct. Japan just wanted its troops to leave those cities so that they could annihilate their troops at the lowest cost.
"Commander, what should I do now?" The other senior staff officers heard it and immediately shouted at MacArthur, who was sitting there in a daze.
"Retreat, retreat, hurry up, let our troops retreat. The troops in the north of Japan will come soon, retreat quickly!" MacArthur woke up and immediately shouted to the staff.
"Retreat all?" asked a staff officer.
"Retreat all, Pittsburgh troops will hold on there first, and all other troops will retreat, including Johnnys' troops. If they can retreat, they will retreat too!" MacArthur shouted loudly.
"Yes!" When the senior staff heard this, they immediately ran out. They wanted to send telegrams to the frontline troops. If the retreat was not timely this time, their troops might be trapped in the encirclement.
"Report, we were destroyed by the Japanese troops at the checkpoint southwest of Pittsburgh. Their troops were already circling south of Pittsburgh. This telegram was sent by the people on the checkpoint before they died in battle. They just sent it, and now they can't contact us!" A staff officer ran in and said to MacArthur.
"O God!" MacArthur heard it, sat there, grabbed his hat, and then grabbed his hair with his hands, not knowing what to do.
After only a few hours of pride, Japan's counterattack began. Moreover, Japan was very obvious, it was to surround its own troops and let its own troops be near Pittsburgh. Japanese troops attacked this place. Pittsburgh could hide a lot of troops, but it could not hide millions of troops.
"Your Excellency Commander, you are going to send a telegram to President Roosevelt. Let's find a way to see what to do.
Since the Japanese armored troops have gone south, they must have brought a large number of infantry. As long as they block the main road, it will be difficult for our troops to retreat. We can't let our soldiers escape in scattered ways, so that the casualties will be greater." A staff officer from behind said to MacArthur.
"Send a telegram to General Marshall and His Excellency President Roosevelt and tell them about the situation on the front line now, damn it!" MacArthur said with his eyes closed.
"Yes!" The senior staff officer heard this and left, while MacArthur sat there stupidly!
"What?" At the Houston headquarters, the senior staff were completely stunned after seeing the telegram.
This was too sudden. They held a press conference in the morning and said that they would start to regain the lost cities. Now they said that the US offensive troops may be surrounded by Japanese troops, which made the generals in the headquarters a little unacceptable.
"It's over, it's all over. Our more than 1 million new recruits in the United States will be ruined outside Pittsburgh!" After seeing the news, an admiral said in great grief.
"Now we have to go to our commander to see what he can do. We must rescue those troops, otherwise we will be finished in the United States. We will have no troops at that time!" The other generals said immediately.
"Prepare the car quickly and we'll go to where General Marshall lives!" the other generals shouted immediately.
At the presidential palace on Roosevelt's side, Roosevelt's secretary received a telegram from the correspondent. After reading it, he thought he had read it wrong. When he saw it was sent from MacArthur's command, the secretary rushed to Roosevelt's office with the telegram. He met many people on the way, but he couldn't care about it.
When he arrived at Roosevelt's office, Roosevelt was still having a meeting with other officials. The secretary walked over and handed the telegram to Roosevelt. Roosevelt looked at the secretary, and then read it with the telegram.
"What? Oh, God, are you kidding me?" Roosevelt couldn't believe his eyes after seeing the telegram.
"Is this true?" Roosevelt asked, looking at the secretary.
"I just received it, but the telegram was indeed sent from General MacArthur's command!" the secretary said immediately.
"Go and make sure!" Roosevelt shouted loudly to the secretary.
"Yes!" The secretary ran away immediately. (To be continued.)
