Chapter 1914 Precursor to the Great Bombing
When MacArthur heard the words of the lieutenant general's chief of staff, he asked him to say it directly, no need to beat around the bush!
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander, how to take the route of our retreat, the problem is big now!" The lieutenant general said immediately.
"The problem is big, where is the problem, the bombing of the Chinese Air Force?" MacArthur heard this and asked the other a few questions in succession.
"That's one thing, and the other is where are we going to retreat, the coast of Germany, or the coast of the Middle East?" The lieutenant general said again.
"Huh?" When MacArthur heard this, his brow furrowed immediately, and then he turned around and began to walk on.
He was also thinking about this question in his mind, he understood what the lieutenant general meant just now, he was worried that the German side would be unfavorable to the troops of the United States, after all, so many troops retreated this time,
Once they arrive in Germany, it will definitely cause panic in Germany, and even those troops in their country will panic, because they all fought last year, and they have been fighting with Germany all these years, and the troops on both sides have hatred, once they can't control it, then there will be a big problem!
"Well, if we don't retreat to Europe, where should we retreat, the Middle East? That's looking for death, the Middle East can't go at all, and if you want to go, you can only go to the Black Sea, but China's bombers in the Soviet Union can cover most of the Black Sea, and we are also looking for death when we retreat there, and now we can only go to Germany! MacArthur looked up with his hands behind his back and sighed.
"Yes, but now our superiors don't know at all, it is also very dangerous for us to go to Germany, once Germany wants to encircle and suppress us, then, our millions of troops. I won't be able to go back to the United States at all! The lieutenant general said in the back.
"I know I'll send a telegram to His Excellency the Chief of Staff! For this, I'm not the most worried,
According to the current situation, Germany will not do much, if they defeat our country, then they are a country, Germany, don't think about China's attack at all, our country is the same, now there is China. We can work together with Germany! MacArthur continued.
"But we can't afford to be on guard!" The lieutenant general reminded again. MacArthur nodded. Soon, they heard the sound of planes flying overhead. MacArthur looked up and looked at the situation above, but he couldn't see it at all, and it was all blocked by the forest.
"Report, we have detected that the electronic signals in this place are very frequent, and it is estimated that there is a command below!" An electronic listener listened for a moment, then immediately reported.
"Can you determine the range?" A major on the plane asked the listener.
"Right now!" The listener reported.
"Good. Come on, I'll contact the bombers for me, let a squad of bombers come to our side, we may have discovered one of the enemy's headquarters! The major immediately commanded with the microphone.
Soon. In an airfield in the Soviet Union, 8 bombers, escorted by 8 Jian-3 fighters, began to rush here.
"It's confirmed!" After a few minutes, the listener kept calculating and drawing. The approximate coordinates were finalized.
"Send it to the bomber team, and we'll continue to scout!" The major said immediately.
"Yes!" A telegraph operator next to him said immediately.
"The Chinese reconnaissance plane actually arrived here?" At this point, MacArthur below heard the plane slowly flying away. Said to the lieutenant general next to him.
"Your Excellency Commander, I don't feel very good, before, Chinese reconnaissance planes never came to our side, and now that they have arrived, I feel very dangerous, the command posts of several of our previous military headquarters have been bombed by Chinese bombers!" The lieutenant general said immediately.
"Come, hurry, notify the people in the command, all disperse for me, stay away from the command, quickly!" When MacArthur heard the staff officer's words, his heart suddenly burst out, and he shouted at the guards around him, and those guards hurriedly ran back a few,
"Let's go, Your Excellency, go away!" The lieutenant general immediately pulled MacArthur into the distance,
They ran outside for more than ten minutes, and when they found that there were no planes coming at all, they became strange, and the staff officers of the United States who had already run out also looked in the direction of MacArthur very strangely.
"Am I wrong? Chinese reconnaissance aircraft did not detect our command? MacArthur looked at the sky and said to himself.
"Report, those staff officers said that they came out in a hurry, and they didn't bring out a lot of Wen Jiàn, so they asked if they could go back and get those Wen Jiàn." A staff officer came to MacArthur's side and reported.
"取文jiàn?" MacArthur heard it and looked at the lieutenant general again, and the lieutenant general couldn't pay attention to it at this time.
"Okay, let them hurry up and get it out, let's change places!" MacArthur thought for a moment and said to the staff officer,
Soon, those staff officers began to rush to the command headquarters with the guards, but it was at this time that many people heard the sound of planes in the distance.
"Run, run!" When the men in the distance heard this, they shouted loudly into the woods, and they continued to run outside, while the lieutenant general and the guards pulled MacArthur and began to run away.
Two minutes later, the roar of those planes was very obvious, and immediately, a violent explosion was heard throughout the forest.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The headquarters of the United States is also within the scope of the bombing, and those bombers in China are all dropping bombs at high altitudes, so the range of bombs landing is very large, and many personnel of the United States command that have not won are hit by China's aerial bombs.
"Run, run!" The soldiers in front of them shouted loudly,
After the Chinese bombers finished one round of bombing, they immediately continued to come to the second round, and the whole bombing lasted for nearly 10 minutes, and after the bombing, the bombers also walked away under the escort of fighter jets, and the entire United States headquarters was surrounded by fires and smoke, and the forest was full of the howls of the United States.
"Quick, go and save people!" MacArthur pushed away the soldiers who were pressing on him, and many of them were already dead.
"Hurry up and save people, hurry!" MacArthur shouted loudly, and he was very remorseful in his heart, if he didn't agree with those staff officers to go over to get information, there would not be so many casualties.
Soon, the guard troops guarding outside the headquarters also rushed over and launched a rescue!
At this time, MacArthur was sitting on a mound of dirt that had been blown up when the pit was blown up and smoking, surrounded by many generals, who were all senior staff officers of the command.
"Your Excellency, Commander, let's get out of this place!" A lieutenant general confronted MacArthur.
"It's easy to get out of here, but immediately Soviet, it's hard! China has increased a lot of reconnaissance planes these days, and now they are looking for us everywhere, and as soon as our large forces move, China will definitely be able to know that it will not be these bombers by then, and I don't know how many bombers will come! MacArthur said in a low voice, where he was sitting. When the generals heard this, they all sat there and didn't speak.
"General, it's getting dark, we have to get out of here, and now those wounded have come to save them, and now our most important thing is to plan the entire retreating troop retreat plan!" Another lieutenant general said again.
"Hey!" MacArthur heard this, stood up, patted the dirt on his buttocks, looked at the previous command in the distance, sighed, and began to leave,
He knows that the most critical thing now is the retreat of the large army, and today's bombing is also a precursor to the next face of their US troops!
"Report, our headquarters has all been blown up, a lot of data has been lost, and now we are also digging, in addition, many of our radio stations are broken, and we need to reactivate some new radio stations!" At this time, a colonel's staff officer came to MacArthur's side and reported.
"Then enable!" MacArthur said to the staff officer.
"Yes!" The colonel's staff officer turned and left,
After MacArthur arrived at the headquarters of a guard unit, he directly took over the entire command and began to send telegrams to the country, one is that they are now preparing to retreat, but the line of retreat needs to be communicated with the German side.
The second is that now China's reconnaissance planes are everywhere, and it is estimated that the casualties will be very heavy in their retreat this time, and I hope that the above will be psychologically prepared!
And reported to the top that his headquarters was bombed by China this afternoon!
And after Eisenhower received MacArthur's telegram, he also frowned, he knew that China would definitely bomb, but he didn't expect that now China would look for their troops from the United States! If, as MacArthur said, the casualties are likely to be large, then the troops retreating to the coast, I don't know how many will be left.
"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, if we really retreat like this, the safety of our soldiers will not be guaranteed, on the way to retreat, the soldiers are exposed to the open space in several places, the longest open space, reaching more than 200 kilometers, these places, will be the place of death for our troops!
You can only get a chance to pass guò at night, but our soldiers can't hold out for a few nights, and our food is not enough! A general next to him said to Eisenhower.
"I know that now we can only pass those places at night, but at night, Chinese bombers can also bomb, which is the most troublesome, and it is slightly safer to march at night!" Eisenhower said, touching his head. (To be continued......)
