Chapter 122: The Crazy Militia (Part I)
A large number of new graves or mass graves have been found around the seven towns we bombed, and the total death toll in these places is tentatively estimated to be around 10,000 people, but we have no way of determining whether they died directly from S-7 and those who died because they were not treated in time! ”
At the new Supreme Military Conference of the Far East, Dr. Fritz Haber, a chemist who was called an "angel" by half and a "devil" by the other half, once again stood in front of the senior generals to report on the results of the new chemical tactical bombing.
Hearing these figures, the generals all maintained their usual composure on the surface, but the things that came out of everyone's eyes were different, some seemed to be thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of this new mode of warfare, some were admiring the S-7 for such amazing lethality, and some, such as the commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Army, General Rundstead, held a kind of reserved opposition to this, the honor of the military made them disdain to use unconventional means against the enemy, especially the civilian population of the enemy country, but, This was again an operation with the intervention of the Kaiser himself!
Compared with the silent generals, Chen Tian is also silent today, and at this time, his mind is thinking about humanitarian issues. According to reports from ground forces in Okinawa, the vast majority of these graves and graves are civilians, including the elderly, children, and women. In the past, he hated Japan and the Japanese people, he hated their so-called bushido spirit, despised their meanness and cunning, and even hated to see the greedy and flattering faces of any Japanese, he knew that they always showed one thing on the surface and did whatever it took to achieve their ends, and they were even more miserable to the inhabitants of the invaded country, like a group of brutal beasts with human intelligence. Now, the brutal beasts have lost their claws to invade other countries, and even their teeth to protect themselves have been smashed off one by one, and their citizens can only bear the punishment they deserve and should not bear.
After about half a minute of silence, Dr. Haber continued:
"It's worth mentioning. The total price of the S-7 we dropped in these places was only a mere 5000 Euromarks, and we did not lose a single plane and not a single soldier in the entire operation! On the battlefield, I think it would take a lot more resources and troops to destroy 10,000 enemies. ”
The doctor's voice just fell. I saw Rundstead stand up with a displeased face, "On the battlefield, I will definitely not be ashamed of destroying 10,000 enemies!" Your Majesty, I'm very sorry! ”
With that, Rundstead left his seat and walked towards the gate without looking back, this sudden change made the generals present stunned one by one, knowing that this had never happened in any previous high-level military meeting, especially in the presence of the Kaiser. In other words, no one had ever expressed dissatisfaction with the Kaiser's strategy in person.
At this time, one could not help but worry about the future of this overly upright general, although Rundstead's military ability and command skills were indeed outstanding. But in today's German world, it is far from being an indispensable core figure, not to mention the veterans such as Ollie, Hoffmann, Ludendorff, and Huttie-El, and the new generation of commanders like Guderian, Loeb, and Rommel also have a position in the army, and even in this room, there are people who have the ability to replace Rundstead - Fritz Erich von Manstein, born in 1887. Although he was 12 years younger than Rundstead, he participated in the 1914 World War and a series of important military operations with Germany, and served as the technical director of the German armored forces. He is known to be one of the Kaiser's favorite army commanders and the most promising army general of his age!
Truly. Chentian's tense face was justified in reminiscent of this, but in fact, what Chentian was thinking about at this time was not how he would react to Rundsteadt's faux pas, but whether his decision to use chemical weapons on a large scale against Japan would really do more harm than good, or whether it would "lack the traditional Germanic fighting spirit" as Rundstead and other generals believed.
But what about the atomic bomb? If atomic bombs can be developed before Japan is defeated, should they be put into actual combat? As a descendant, Chen Tian clearly knows that their power and killing methods are not inferior to chemical weapons.
While Tatsuten was still troubled by these problems, in a forest in south-central Okinawa, a group of marines from the German 4th Marine Division were becoming more deeply aware that ordinary Japanese citizens were by no means "weak," "innocent," and "defenseless" as they seemed.
"Niko, watch your left! Oh, damn it! ”
Less than half a second for 22-year-old Francis Heitz hid his head behind a tree stump with his helmet when a 65mm bullet fired from a Meiji 30-year-style rifle slammed into the half-rotten wood and pierced through it headlong into Francis's body - although it was an Hand Rifle older than the Type 38, it was still not to be underestimated in terms of penetration when firing at close range, and its other feature was its low recoil, which was better used by even weaker people.
Enduring the heartache coming from his left arm, Francis singled out a shuttle of bullets and shouted loudly: "Medic! Medic! ”
"Come on!" Less than 10 meters away, a medician wearing a steel helmet painted with a striking red cross logo was bandaging the wound of another unlucky guy, the reason why it is unlucky is because although the ambushers occupy a geographical and numerical advantage, the accuracy of the shooting is not flattering, and half an hour has passed since the exchange of fire, but there are not many people who are really injured on the German side!
"Niko, how's going on over there?" Regardless of whether anyone on the ambusher's side understood German, Francis still spoke loudly to his companions.
"I'm fine! It's enough to choke! Niko, who also had a young face, was leaning against a tree thicker than a man at the moment, and it was this thick trunk that blocked dangerous bullets for him, but there was a blood mark the size of a little finger on the young soldier's face, although this would not affect his combat effectiveness or even his life, the original delicate appearance was probably going to end here!
"!" Francis scolded in a low voice, clamped the handle of the mp24 under his armpit, withdrew the empty magazine with one hand with his right hand, and then replaced it with a full magazine rather twisted, and shouted in his mouth: "Iron fist, who has an iron fist in his hand?" Kill that fire point on the left for me! ”
