"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Several destroyers of the German Navy sailed to the sea less than two kilometers off the east coast of the island of San Miguel and fired frantically at the shore with their naval guns. Although most of them were small-caliber rapid-fire guns, for the officers and men of the U.S. Marine Corps, such shells were enough to easily tear them to shreds.

In the air, fighters taking off from aircraft carriers of the German Navy were strafing the positions of the US Marine Corps. The bullets from the aviation machine guns hit the sand, leaving deep bullet holes. Quite a few US Marines were hit by bullets from aviation machine guns, and their whole bodies were cut in two.

Under the cover of naval artillery fire, units of a battalion of the 1st Marine Division of the German Marine Corps were making a beach-rushing landing.

The defensive firepower of the US Marine Corps is not strong, sparse. In addition, their artillery positions had already been destroyed by the German Navy with naval guns or carrier-based aircraft, which made it impossible for them to intercept the landing of German marines.

The German marines, at an extremely small cost, rushed to the beach and began an offensive against the lines of the American marines.

Several slower amphibious tanks also took to the beach, providing fire support to the Marines who stormed the beach.

Under the onslaught of the German marines, armed to the teeth, the American Marines were overwhelmed and quickly routed, allowing the German Marines to easily take the beach and establish a solid beachhead.

Subsequently, the main forces of the German army began to land. Wait until the landing is complete, and then start sweeping deep into the island.

Two divisions of the German Marine Corps, with the assistance of the fleet, swept the Azores very smoothly. The U.S. Marine Corps, simply can't resist. Even many American soldiers, after the defense line was broken, threw away their weapons as soon as possible, raised their hands and surrendered to the Germans. For them, since they are destined to not win, then saving their lives is undoubtedly the most important thing.

"General, the situation is very unfavorable for us. The 1st Regiment has already lost one battalion, and the morale of the remaining two battalions has also been seriously affected, and their combat effectiveness will not be much at all. Brigadier General Moore, chief of staff of the 1st Division of the US Marine Corps, reported to the division commander, Major General Cameron. In his tone, there was no confidence in this battle.

"I know we're not going to win. But we have to keep going. Domestic orders, you must have seen it too. Your Excellency has come to call us the pride of the American Republic. Major General Cameron said with a wry smile.

"Shit! Those damn politicians just want us to die. Brigadier Moore scolded.

Major General Cameron did not refute, indeed, he also knew that the domestic meaning was to let their gang die heroically. In that case, they will become heroes of the American Republic. You don't have to think about it to know that those politicians will definitely desperately publicize their heroic deeds of fighting to the death. When the time comes, it will certainly arouse the feelings of hatred of Germany among the people. The government can then use this to divert the attention of the people and get out of the way.

However, as a general, he seems to have no way to disobey domestic orders. A soldier's duty is to obey orders, and even if it is wrong, it must be carried out to the end.

"General, the Germans were supported not only by naval guns, but also by aircraft, and our soldiers braved the enemy's heavy artillery fire and air raids, which was too difficult for them, and it was no different from sending them to their deaths. We can't go on like this! Brigadier General Moore persuaded.

Originally, the combat power of the US Marine Corps could not be compared with that of the German Marine Corps. Now the support firepower of the two sides is even more different. In such a situation, the U.S. Marine Corps is indeed no different from sending to death.

"I will ask the country, if the country allows us to surrender, I will give the order to surrender!" Major General Cameron hesitated for a moment, then said.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Brigadier Moore's eyes. He knew that Major General Cameron's request would definitely be rejected. Those damned politicians don't pay attention to these soldiers who are fighting desperately at the front, they just use them as tools.

As Brigadier General More had predicted, Major General Cameron's request was once again denied, and the leaders of the American* military demanded that they continue to hold on to the Azores, and assured them that the government was actively communicating with the Germans and would soon be able to return them safely to the United States.

This is undoubtedly a lie, and that's what the government promised them before. However, what they were waiting for was the indiscriminate bombardment and endless killing of the Germans. Obviously, the U.S. government simply did not have the ability to agree with the Germans, and naturally did not have the ability to rescue them. If they want to keep alive, they have to do it on their own.

That night, Brigadier General Moore secretly summoned a group of mid- and lower-ranking officers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have very sad news to tell you that China has once again rejected General Cameron's request and asked us to continue to hold on here." Brigadier General Moore said.

"Bastard, they're trying to kill us all!" One of the captains yelled.

"General Cameron, decided to carry out the orders of the country, asking us to continue to hold out. Everyone knows what this will mean. We will all be killed by the Germans in the next battle. Brigadier General Moore said.

Suddenly, the faces of the officers were not very good-looking. Didn't want to die, even these soldiers. They also have a desire to survive.

"Chief of Staff, what are we going to do to survive?" A major battalion commander asked.

"We have no choice but to stage a mutiny and imprison General Cameron. Then, in the name of the Chief of Staff, I will order the troops to lay down their arms. I'm doing this so that more people can live. This is simply a false war. Brigadier General Moore said.

The officers hesitated, but nodded in agreement.

Two hours later, a group of officers with a large group of soldiers raided the division headquarters and arrested Major General Cameron.

Subsequently, Brigadier General Mohr, chief of staff of the 1st Marine Division of the US Marine Corps, ordered the troops to stop resistance, lay down their weapons and surrender to the Germans. This order was carried out very thoroughly. Those soldiers also want to live!
