Chapter 912 won the first battle
Dong Ku was pleased with Marshall's reaction. That's what he meant in the first place, in order not to anger the behemoth of the United States, the only way to do that is not to form a deep enmity.
He used special warfare methods to kidnap commanders and destroy the opponent's chain of command, in order to end the first battle with the least cost and casualties. Let the United States not be annoyed and angry, and will not attack Cuba with all its might, otherwise, he will not have his own supplies, and once it is discovered that the supply channels are blocked by empty ships, then no matter how great his ability is, no matter how many advance troops are transferred here, he will not be able to win the war.
Besides, the strength of the United States has not yet been fully demonstrated, and if we do not understand that the opponent has suffered a few losses, it does not mean that it will win, and once the United States attacks with all its might, even if there is an air supply line, the cost of casualties and the raging war will destroy this Cuba, which is famous for its sugar and cigarettes, and destroy this pearl in one fell swoop.
This was in conflict with his interests, and he could not fight head-to-head with any country when his naval strength was not rising, unless the battlefield was only on land, as if he were chasing down the Japanese army.
Marshall was able to realize so quickly that he was not enough to fight and cherish the lives of soldiers, and Dong Ku appreciated it and gained a deeper understanding of Western culture. After all, I couldn't see such a battlefield in the last time and space, and I couldn't realize that the US army didn't care so much about surrender, not only was it not frustrated and embarrassed, but it seemed to be as it should be.
He groaned, waved his hand, and then said: "General Marshall, I am only a major, it is okay to stop the shelling for the time being, if there is a complete truce, you need to consult with our commander, General Connatas." ”
Connatas ......
Marshall remembered this man, the negotiator who had come back captives for the first time, the native of Cuba.
"Good! I'm going to see your generals! But I beg you, Mr. Major, not to attack until I see your general. ”
Marshall said without hesitation.
He couldn't watch a soldier die so worthless, in the dust and smoke in the distance, he was sure. It was the same place as the hilltop position at the foot of the mountain, full of scattered corpses.
"Good! Well, please wait a moment, general, I think you should look at the whole force, your coalition forces. ”
Dong Ku said, waving his hand again and ordering.
Cannonball. After Dong Ku waved his hand, there was a wave that fell, and then the shelling stopped, and when Dong Ku waved his hand a second time, the seeping screech of the cannonballs flying was gone, and then there was a roar of motors, and one after another pale green helicopters rose to the top of the hill and landed behind Marshall and them.
Marshall looked at the shape of the helicopter that was similar to his own domestically produced, but not installed, and did not have much thought. This has already appeared in various countries, and it is difficult to judge which country it is, they are all bought from the hands of the advance army treasury, and the sellers are all one, that is, arms companies.
Dong Ku waved his hand, and then made a gesture of please.
The soldiers quickly left the high ground with the rest of the generals in Dong Ku's movements, and walked towards the truck down the mountain. The high-ranking officials of Dong Ku's group were divided into three helicopters and protected by five attack planes. Fly.
Inside the helicopter, Marshall's heart was full of huge waves. That's when he realized how tough his opponent was. This is not the battlefield they should be on. They are not facing an adversary that the American forces are now able to compete with qualitatively.
The battleship was silently destroyed. For the first time, it can be classified as careless, and it was ambushed by shore artillery. Then the second time there were battleships, it was different, and the surviving battleships had already listed that coastal battle as an unbeatable height.
Planes, not to mention, none of them survived. And the other side did not hand over the pilot at all, apparently not wanting to let themselves know how they shot down the plane.
The first land offensive of the Great Army. After only a few hours, it was a crushing defeat, and in the following attrition, the opponent's bullet consumption was extremely large, although it seemed to be a new soldier, but it was unable to break through the defensive line. The battle lasted for several days, with numerous casualties.
This will turn into defense, according to his understanding, even if the army of more than 300,000 cannot attack, defense, with the density of the position and the strong firepower, it is enough to block the opponent.
But who expected that the other side not only ended up with his own headquarters, but also took the forward combat command center, and captured all the more than 30 generals inside unscathed, and when they were surrounded by troops, they simply brought the generals including himself to their control area.
What frightened him the most was the power of the opponent's artillery and the control of air supremacy. Needless to say, the artillery is powerless, I have seen it just now. Aircraft dare to take to the skies, and that's the key. You must know that he still has more than 600 planes in his hands, and he has not yet taken off, even if he does not attack the opponent's position, there should always be support from his own position.
Could it be that the other side has destroyed all the airfields in depth?
While pondering, Dong Ku looked sideways at the position outside, then handed Marshall a telescope and said, "General Marshall, it's time to your position, look at your soldiers." ”
Without saying a word, Marshall reached out to take the binoculars and drove out of the porthole.
This is the 215 Heights......
He saw clearly the high ground below, and saw clearly the American troops who were building their positions. The busy figures let him see the picture of the high ground that was destroyed before.
"General Marshall, over here."
Dong Ku knew that he should see his position clearly, and then pointed to the other side.
Marshall didn't know what he was going to do, so he stood up and walked to the other side, holding up his binoculars and looking underneath.
This is......
Suddenly, his eyes shrank violently. In his sight, he saw the muzzles of the guns stretching out, and he still recognized the appearance of those self-propelled guns.
Tank......
Armored vehicles......
He saw the tank group that existed in the group, he saw armored vehicles, he saw combat vehicles similar to armored vehicles, and guessed that it should be something similar to armored vehicles.
It's already six kilometers deep here, and the enemy is moving so far?
His mind raced, quickly analyzing the possibilities.
Dong Ku didn't speak anymore and sat there quietly.
Marshall no longer greeted Dong Ku, he looked here and there for a while, and in his actions, his anxious emotions were inadvertently revealed, and he had lost the calmness of his superiors.
The plane was less than 100 meters above the ground and kept flying. Below is the junction of the U.S. Army and the Advance Army, the empty space. There is no air interception. The advance force will not intercept it, because it has received an order, and the US troops are thousands of meters away, and there is no way to intercept it.
Half an hour had passed since Marshall was on the speeding plane, and he sat down in a daze as the plane turned. I lost the courage to look any further.
His army was completely surrounded, and those muzzles had shown that the other side was capable of eating most of it in an hour or two, and crushing the remnants of the coalition army.
The reason why the artillery was not fired may be that the major said that General Connatas did not want too bloody killing, so he did not order the attack, but only divided and surrounded the coalition forces.
How so......
Marshall rubbed his head decadently.
Such a speed of advance is terrifying, how did the enemy manage to tear a hole in the army?
Dong Ku looked at Marshall with satisfaction and said lightly: "General Marshall." This is not where you should be, now, please make a decision, and in fifteen minutes, we will be back in our position, and when we get to the position, if we haven't made a decision, I don't mind letting the ground here be watered with blood. ”
I will......
Marshall said decadently.
His pride. Everything about him, of course, was absent in this sudden change. The only thing he could figure out was one thing. Using his keen political acumen, he concluded that the Cuban Independence Army, a sudden rising force, is no stranger to political means, and knows how to exchange the minimum price for the greatest benefit.
Not to mention these generals, just those more than 100,000 soldiers, it is impossible for the United States to give up. This will be a dearly price to pay, not to mention. It also dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the United States, so that the United States could not retaliate in a short period of time, and watched them conquer the entire territory of Cuba.
Marshall actually analyzed another point that he did not calculate thoroughly, that is, there was no need to use these captives as a blackmail to conquer the entire territory of Cuba, and Dong Ku only wanted time. It's just speed, nothing else. As long as this main battlefield can be escaped, then the offensive will be unstoppable. Even if the U.S. military came to help, it would be too late.
Marshall completely gave up other ideas, but was extremely cooperative, and after arriving at the position, he took the paper handed by Dong Ku, and together with his subordinates, began to sign orders one by one according to the requirements.
They were helpless, but if they didn't, all the soldiers would be killed in the heavy shelling, and only a few would survive.
With the signing of orders one by one, what made them laugh and cry was that Dong Ku actually took out a bunch of seals, and stamped them with similar seals according to their respective levels.
Afterwards, the officers of the combat command got on the helicopter and rushed in all directions with a roar.
"I am Lieutenant Colonel Rondell of the 7th Division, and General Marshall orders you to lay down your arms, assemble and stand by, accept the reorganization of the enemy, and not resist ......"
In the helicopter, one by one mid-level generals shouted over the loudspeaker, and then dropped a package with a small parachute to convey the order.
"Did we surrender?"
A sergeant asked incredulously as he looked at the whizzing helicopter with a gun.
"General Marshall told us to surrender? I'm going to kick his ass when I see him! ”
A corporal slammed the gun in his hand and said hatefully.
Soon, the basic generals below saw the warrants of their commanders, and saw the orders stamped with the Great Seal. This is not a joke, this is an order issued by the operational command and the highest command. The soldiers didn't know what to do, but those lieutenants and captains knew about their own generals, and even about their signatures.
They looked at the warrants and smelled the smell of sludge that had not yet evaporated from the Great Seal, and knew that the time for the warrants to be signed was very short.
So, one lieutenant after another, the captain kept giving orders, so that the team began to assemble, they didn't know what was going on in Ludao, but the order was the order, and they were going to surrender.
The same is true of the Cuban political axemen, who did not dare to upset their masters, and after receiving the order to fall from the sky, the commander also ordered to abandon resistance and disarm in formation.
Dong Ku knew that this would be the result, those American soldiers or political axe armies were not like the armies of the East, most of them fought to the death, they would not be ashamed to surrender, and they carried out orders thoroughly, even if they had thoughts in their hearts.
