Chapter 654 654 The rush begins

Robinson is a little confused about what he is doing, he is an American who witnessed the collapse of the Twin Towers in 911, and since then this man with a well-paid job and social status has chosen to leave the life he has built and return to the military. He had only one thought in his heart at that time, and that was revenge. After the name of al-Qaeda spread, Robinson dreamed many times that he had unscrewed bin Laden's head with his own hands, and when it was rumored that the US military was going to attack Afghanistan, the country where al-Qaeda was harboring, Robinson was also full of fighting spirit, and he wanted to eliminate all the terrorists.

But things soon changed qualitatively, and no one knew how the war on terror that the United States was going to fight inadvertently turned into a world war with China. There is also a claim in the military that China is the main culprit in supporting terrorists in attacking the United States, and that if China is defeated, the problem can be solved. Perhaps this argument can deceive the average American with an IQ of 100 or less, but for the discerning Robinson, he knows very well what is actually happening - politicians and interest groups have shifted the blame, and the United States does not need to fight terrorism, but to fight for hegemony.

This is actually a very laughable logic, in order to fight terrorism, to challenge a superpower, and finally send thousands of terrorists impossible to harm men and women to the battlefield, and then die under the tank guns and missiles of the Chinese, is this war really fought for the so-called national security? Of course not, wars are always fought for the interests of a small number of capitalists in this country, and of course they will claim that it is for the interests of all Americans, and no one can deny that the general public in the United States will benefit from it, but is it the same as the people who benefit a dime?

Robinson felt like a stunned young man who had fallen so lightly into such a deception, but at this time it was impossible for him to get out, and if he left the army, he would be labeled a deserter, his honor and reputation would be ruined, and he would not be able to move an inch in society.

Even now Robinson can only anesthetize and hypnotize himself, allowing himself to stubbornly believe that he is carrying out a great cause and is creating happiness and security for the majority of his compatriots. Even if he is already farther and farther away from such a path.

In order to capture Madagascar, the US military dispatched two large-scale division-level units, the 4th Infantry Division and the 2nd Marine Division of the Marine Corps, plus scattered auxiliary units, with a total combat personnel of nearly 30,000. Robinson himself was part of the 2nd Marine Division, and his unit was assigned to take a helicopter from a U.S. Wasp-class amphibious assault ship and land vertically in Madagascar to fight.

The entire battle was preceded by the fact that the United States and other NATO countries had not declared war on Madagascar, and all of that was done in this atmosphere of pretending as if nothing had happened. In reality, of course, China and the United States have not officially declared war until now, even though the two sides have been in a state of substantial war for quite some time.

The Madagascar army has no ability to hinder such a large-scale landing operation of the US army, the country has only 12 tanks in total, the number of artillery is only more than 100, and the vast majority of Malagasy soldiers only use light weapons, such as anti-aircraft missiles and other high-end things They are not equipped at all, so they naturally have no ability to resist the strong vertical landing of the Americans.

"Hurry up, we must take Tuliara in 40 minutes, the landlubbers of the army are still waiting to come by boat!" The Marines were very relaxed in the face of a barely defended Madagascar, and even had time to make fun of their allies.

They chose to land more than 10 kilometers south of Tuliara, an important city in southern Madagascar, where they could easily assemble, and once completed, the American forces would launch an attack on the important port city, even if there were few decent defenders.

In addition to the Marine Corps' helicopter landing, the U.S. military also has a number of LCAC air-cushion landing craft to carry out raids directly from the sea, and these LCACs generally carry some armored vehicles, such as the U.S. Army's M3 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle, Piranha/Stryker armored vehicle, etc. However, generally a big guy like M1 will not appear on it, and even if there is, it is a very small amount, and besides, the attack is on a small militarily weak country like Madagascar, and the US military does not need excessive equipment firepower.

Robinson held the M4A1 carbine in his hand, looked at the many F-18 Hornets of the US military in the sky, and thought to himself that the US military was still very cautious in this operation, even if Madagascar did not have any force enough to threaten the US military, but the US military was still worried that the Chinese naval aviation would launch an attack on the US troops that landed, and at this time, it was natural to need enough fighters to provide sky shelter for the US ground forces in action.

In fact, the focus of this battle of Madagascar is one point, that is, fast, and only fast can we seize a favorable situation first, so as to form the greatest battlefield advantage for the enemy, and after this battlefield advantage can be maintained, it can form a strategic advantage in the entire southwest Indian Ocean region and expel the enemy from this area.

Tuliara was unsurprisingly quickly occupied by the U.S. military, and it is also one of the few ports in Madagascar that can berth relatively large tonnage ships, and the port conditions are relatively good, especially suitable for shelter from the wind, after this is mastered by the U.S. military, the U.S. Army's 4th Infantry Division can calmly board Madagascar from here, and the U.S. army's heavy forces can successfully control the island, even if the Chinese army launches an attack, it can also be effectively countered.

Robinson led his soldiers to maintain order in Tuliara, and he saw that the locals' eyes were full of confusion and panic, but fortunately, no one had the courage to challenge the authority of the American army, and no one provoked, which also made their job easier.

It was at this time that Robinson's military radio rang: "...... It has been reported that the Chinese PLA has launched an attack on Diego Suarez at the northern tip of Madagascar, and there is no information that Chinese aircraft have crossed the center line of the island to attack our troops. ”

A Marine shouted, "Are you coming, Chinese?" Finally this time is when we can kick the ass of these little eye pan faces hard! "Because Asians have smaller eyes than Caucasian people in terms of physical characteristics (at least in North America) and their faces are not as angular as Europeans and Americans, many racists use words like pans to describe Chinese.

Robinson was highly educated and repulsive to racist words, but he didn't say anything about it, which would make him seem alienated from his team and detrimental to his troops.

Another soldier said: "The Chink are still very powerful, at least better than Ah San, look at them now, they have beaten those big buns to the ground, northeast India has been completely occupied by the Chinese, I am afraid that if we cannot completely defeat China, it will become the territory of the Chinese in the future." Lieutenant, I heard that Northeast India is full of yellow-skinned monkeys, right? ”

Robinson nodded, "Well, yes, most of the inhabitants there are, and they are culturally and ethnically similar to some ethnic minorities in China. ”

"Oh, so it's nothing for the Chinks to take it back, haha, Indians are really not very flattering, and it is said that they have a special fetish for rape, and the locals must be far less welcoming to Indians than to Chinese."

The soldiers continued to quip, "Hey, guys, do you know why the Chinese and Indian have so many people?" ”

"Tell me about it."

"I found a truth, that is, the people who talk are smaller, and they have low self-esteem, so they like to do that thing indiscriminately, and the more they do, the more they will naturally give birth, haha, isn't it?"

"Haha, it seems like that's really the case!"

Robinson's brow furrowed even more, he didn't mind his soldiers sneering at the enemy, which was sometimes a good way to boost morale and increase cohesion, but it was clear that his soldiers had little due reverence for the formidable Chinese adversary, even after the Chinese had defeated the American fleet not long ago. For the soldiers of the Marine Corps, although they are in the Navy, they are not Navy, so the setbacks of the Navy are not educational for them.

"You guys, let's cheer up, when the Chinese have not lost the war they have fought over the years, we will not be stronger than the Chinese army in any way, if we are still so conceited, the person who will be humiliated in the end may be ourselves." Robinson was stern, trying to use words that his soldiers could accept.

Robinson has a good personality and popularity, and he is relatively friendly to his subordinates, so even if he speaks, the soldiers do not agree with him, but Robinson can detect that his soldiers do not seem to buy it, so the worry in his heart is even worse.

His worries were naturally very realistic, and at the same time, in the northern part of the island of Madagascar, China assembled as many as three amphibious battle groups and more than 60 Riptide ACV landing ships, and sent more than 10,000 heavy Marines to land under the guidance and cover of the main fleet of aircraft carriers of the Indian Ocean Fleet.

Similar to the American troops landing in the south, the Chinese PLA basically did not encounter the slightest resistance from the Malagasy people, and the Malagasy troops, after seeing the Chinese, immediately disarmed and surrendered, without even firing a single shot. Even though the Chinese were slightly behind the Americans in this big attack, they were better prepared than the Americans.

The first two battalion-sized V3 shorter-range missile battalions were deployed in Diego Suarez, and they targeted the landing force of the American army, ready to give them a big gift.
