Chapter 1136: How Can a Victory Be So Difficult

Truman had lowered his expectations to a single victory, but that expectation was getting farther and farther away as if it needed God's promise.

Bad news continued to come from all over the world, and in addition to the regret expressed by the Allied brothers, the Americans, who had not yet withdrawn to their homeland, were constantly being subjected to global sniping by the Chinese army.

The specific news from the Philippines has already been transmitted.

After China blockaded the waters east of the Philippines with missiles and aircraft carriers, it was difficult for the shrinking US fleet to support the Philippines, and it was difficult to even send the withdrawn fleet over.

If it was in a previous life, for the sake of publicity, the Americans might have done something to send a rescue team for the sake of a GI. But now that there is a crisis on the home side, everything has become more realistic.

"You're on your own!" The big regretful truth of the top brass shattered the American GIs' dreams of returning home.

Worried that Chinese fighters and submarines would sink the slow troop carrier, the US top brass did not even want the GIs to come back by boat, after all, the Philippine fleet after the continuous transfer of the main fleet could not provide them with sufficient escort forces. Rather than being sunk or captured by Chinese warships at sea, it is better to retreat to some easily defensible fortresses in the Philippines, as long as they can hold out until the United States changes everything with a victory, and the subsequent peace talks will allow these soldiers to go home with dignity.

But the American GIs didn't appreciate it at all, and no one thought that they could hold out for so long in the fierce offensive of the Chinese army. They felt that they had been abandoned, especially when they saw the American generals taking planes to evacuate first, and they lost their fighting spirit.

Even the U.S. commanders were not optimistic about the outcome of the defense. While the Americans are tolerant of those who wear the hat of being captured, they will also lose many opportunities to climb the ladder.

So they used their relationship to find a reason to withdraw from the Philippines.

It's just that the sea and air passages leading to Guam have been completely blocked by the Chinese, and even the newly commissioned jet fighters dare not say that they are absolutely sure to rush over, and even the submarines, which have always been hidden at the bottom of the sea, have been forced out of the water by the Chinese airships in the Pacific Ocean.

When they were disappointed and despaired, they got the news that the Chinese navy and navy were not strong enough and only blocked the passage to Guam, but did not seal the passage to Japan.

Japan was almost forgotten by the American GIs.

After the Americans suffered heavy losses in the Chinese burning of Tokyo, they did not wait for the attack of the Chinese army. However, there was a wave of refugees from the remnants of the Japanese.

The Americans soon found out that they had a big burden on their backs. At first to show their kindness. The Americans were in charge of the food, drink, and lazar of the Japanese in Tokyo, but the Japanese, who had scraped the ground three layers by the Chinese, really couldn't afford to pay for it, and the Americans gradually found that dragging down millions of Japanese refugees was simply a logistical disaster, especially when the Chinese were still harassing them.

It was difficult to shake off this burden, so we had to gradually withdraw the army and give the power of management to the Japanese themselves. They have a hand in managing their own people, and can train their own people to be like ninja turtles and can adapt to any harsh conditions.

The United States also chose to allow the remnants of Japan, the elderly, to fend for themselves, in disease, hunger and cold. With the Chinese army gathering all around, and the shadow of the Chinese bombers at all times, the Americans have long given up their plan to use this place as a springboard. It is enough to be burned by fire once, the Americans are not stupid.

So in the end, the place where only a few thousand troops guarding the ruins of the port was left behind, and the American army almost forgot about it.

Huaxia also seems to have forgotten this place, when tens of millions of armies fought all over the world. I actually gave up Tokyo, Japan under my nose. Perhaps Huaxia had already burned Tokyo to the ground, and a large number of Japanese remnants who were shouting for revenge against China were old, weak, sick and disabled, and even the American GIs were only a few thousand in size, and there was no need to worry at all when the airport and port were destroyed.

But this forgotten place has given hope to Americans in the Philippines. According to the intelligence of the Americans, the Chinese navy, which was attacking everywhere, was not strong enough after all, and the fact that the waters between the Philippines and Guam were blocked made a weak defensive zone in the waters east of Taiwan appeared.

Think of Taiwan's air power and Vanguard artillery. The Americans simply did not have the heart to raid Taiwan. However, it was possible to take advantage of this weak defensive zone and flee to Japan. Then they withdrew to Guam until they returned to the mainland.

Perhaps China was busy with Guam, but not with Japan, and when some US transport planes sneaked away at the beginning, there was no interception action. I heard that the Huaxia side also specially dealt with a group of arrogant commanders in Taiwan on this matter to warn the whole army.

In short, the Americans saw hope, and more and more planes of various types continued to take off from the Philippines and fly to Japan. Even the U.S. ships in the Philippines took the opportunity to sail out of the heavily defended harbor and fled in the direction of Japan.

The remaining 330,000 U.S. troops in the Philippines have set off a chaotic wave of evacuation.

After all, there are too few tools to evacuate, and the weak defensive area that Huaxia has missed will not last long, and the Huaxia people who react may re-block this place at any time, and even those army fighters who are familiar with the sea conditions can pose a certain threat to the passage not far from Taiwan.

While this opportunity gave hope to the Philippine U.S. military, it also brought panic and chaos to them.

Only a few people were evacuated first, and most of the remaining American troops were demoralized and crushed by the onslaught of the Chinese army.

They were defeated faster than anyone expected.

In view of the fact that some American troops surrendered to the indigenous Filipinos and were directly tortured and slaughtered, the American commanders had warned their soldiers that even if they surrendered, they would have to surrender to the Chinese, at least the Chinese would be much more civilized in treating their captives, and they would allow ransom.

Those American troops who had no hope of evacuating wisely chose to surrender directly to the attacking Chinese army, and if they fought or fled, their lives were in danger, so it was better to surrender directly. Anyway, those GIs don't need to worry about promotion, and they don't need to care too much about honor, after experiencing the cruel battlefield, they care more about their lives and their families. Especially now in a situation where the United States is powerless to bail out.

The Philippines fell at a speed unimaginable to the U.S. government, with only 330,000 troops fleeing to the Tokyo area of Japan, leaving 230,000 Chinese prisoners, including 50,000 who surrendered at sea, along with less than 3 million remaining indigenous Filipinos, to rebuild the Philippines, which had been divided into three states.

Compared with the result of the Philippines, which had long been expected in the minds of the top level of the United States, the more than 700,000 US troops stationed in Europe were also defeated in such a gorgeous way.

Although the United States is shrinking and withdrawing, it is impossible to withdraw all at once. In France, Belgium, Italy, Norway, Greece and other places, there are still some garrisons, one is to leave a little confidence for the allies, and the other is also for the desire to counterattack in the bottom of their hearts.

Washington estimated that these US troops, who had occupied the geographical advantages and the advantages of people, could also cause some trouble for the Chinese, but they did not expect that they would also be vulnerable.

Especially after the mainland of the United States was invaded by the Chinese army, those European American troops were even more likely to collapse.

Sometimes morale is so elusive, and when the wind blows, American GIs fight to the death. But once in adversity, those young master soldiers will never fight for another minute for someone else's territory.

Since the Battle of Beihai, the strength of the Chinese army has been exaggerated. The seemingly irresistible missiles, jet fighters, super-heavy tanks, and vanguard cannons seemed to be like boulders pressing down on their hearts, creating the general trend of the Allied juniors falling towards China like dominoes, and completely crushing those American soldiers.

The Chinese Navy was still unable to blockade the Atlantic, and the American troops in other places quickly withdrew to the mainland after leaving 90,000 prisoners, leaving only 350,000 American troops in Italy and Greece to be completely blocked in the Mediterranean, and after losing 70,000 in battle, they collectively erected a white flag.

In this way, the U.S. military waved its hand without taking away a single screw, and completely withdrew from Europe in a gray manner, looking dryly across the sea at the Chinese people proudly scraping the land of Europe.

After the Americans withdrew from Europe, Africa also gave up on its own initiative. Except for the 50,000 troops stationed in West Africa with the British, the rest of the troops were withdrawn to their homeland, and there was no senseless harassment in Africa.

Today's Africa, under the impetus of the old imperial power and the Chinese people, has evolved into a great scuffle between tribes and peoples, and the Arabs who were expelled from China to Africa have exacerbated this struggle.

For the sake of the interests of China in Africa in the future, in the face of the African natives who can reproduce more than the Chinese, Meng Xiang can only say sorry, and he will bring the tricks of the Anglo-American and French to deal with the Africans in later generations, and also make the cottage and the umbrella company make a lot of money. Although Africans have little money to spare, they can cede all kinds of resources to their tribes.

Under a series of divisions, migrations, migrations, and banditry, China's overseas territories in Africa continued to expand.

The Americans, on the other hand, are dismayed to find that their sphere of influence is shrinking. Even the Australian islands in the South Pacific Ocean have been constantly lost under the initiative of the Chinese fleet. Even in the backyard of the United States, the captured American troops were beaten and fled in embarrassment by the Chinese army, which only numbered tens of thousands of people.

"How can a victory be so hard?" Truman looked up to the sky with a starry head and sighed.

"God forbid, the next thing we can only do is to see the local miracle happen!" In the end, he had no choice but to decide on a new plan for local warfare. (To be continued......)
