Section 56 Eisenhower's Failure
If these artillery soldiers could hold their posts, they would definitely bring certain losses to the Chinese, but these artillery soldiers had no idea at all. After the order of retreat came down, these guys even threw away their equipment, and the planes in the sky were still firing at them. These guys did not dig a pit according to the established requirements. Originally, they had to dig a pit next to the cannon and put the shells inside. Because the requirements above were urgent, the shells were piled up next to them. When the bombs on the plane exploded, the hot temperature directly detonated the shells. It was precisely because they wanted to save trouble at the beginning, but now because of the original decision, they could only take off with the shells.
"We all quickly threw the bomb and returned. We have to wear all the enemy planes in a while..." The Chinese flight captain said, looking around. At this time, he was a little puzzled. Why didn't he see the enemy plane? According to the combat plan made above, wouldn't he still have to run thousands of kilometers with them? Why are the enemy planes not even hairy now? Didn't they come?
"001002, you two planes go to the beach to reconnaise. Don't fly too fast. As long as you see their plane, you will return immediately and give us a distance warning. It's really evil. In theory, you should have seen them now, but you don't even see a shadow." For the safety of the entire formation, you can only let the two planes go to reconnaise. During the battle, the communication system may be disturbed, so there is no way to call the information of the reconnaissance force. You can only let the person-driven plane go to reconnaissance. Although it is a little dangerous, you can know the enemy's movements. Maybe the enemy has begun to surround them. At that time, they can only rise first and then escape.
The two planes flew quickly over the seaside, and they didn't see the enemy's planes at all. Moreover, they could see the aircraft carriers in the distance. The planes were still arranged correctly, and there was only some planes hovering over the fleet. Those planes were watching this side with vigilance and had no intention of coming. Isn't this the US-British Allied Forces plane? Shouldn't they avenge their artillery? Do they just want to watch the fire from the other side? What kind of pilot is this? Why don't they have any sense of combat?
Regardless of the situation here, the two reconnaissance aircraft quickly reported to the latter. They couldn't figure out what was going on with these people. Anyway, the current situation is that no one follows them, and the bombs on these planes are almost thrown out, so they can only return.
In the middle, the captain asked more than a dozen planes to shoot back and see if there were any enemies behind them. As a result, their back was empty and now they were contacted with the ground reconnaissance forces. The radar of the reconnaissance forces had already begun to scan. Not to mention American planes, they didn't even see an American bird, and the Americans didn't follow them at all. What was going on? This became the biggest doubt in this battle. Did the Americans lose so much weapons and equipment and didn't want to take revenge at all? When did the Americans talk so easily? They swallowed their teeth and swallowed in their stomachs. If this was the case, the war would end faster, so we don't have to worry about it.
When the Chinese planes had already landed, they still felt a little unbelievable. When did the Americans speak so easily? Are the Americans stupid? Kong Erlangzi was also a little surprised. According to Kong Erlangzi's idea, these Americans should go to war with them. It shouldn't be the result of this. Moreover, Kong Erlangzi was ready. The air defense equipment along the way had already been turned on, waiting for the Americans to come. Who knew that they had waited for nothing.
Just in case, Erlangzi did not let them land at the beach airport, and let them all fly to the inland airport, but ended up running so far away.
General Eisenhower also regretted it. He knew very well that he had been fooled by the Chinese. The Chinese did not have so many planes at all. In fact, this is not the fault of the Chinese. It was you who did not let the plane take off, you ordered the plane to stay inside the fleet. You were just afraid that the Chinese would attack you. To put it bluntly, you were also worried about your life.
Regarding General Eisenhower's command, the US-British Allied Forces did not know what to say. Today, it can be said that the losses were heavy. More than half of the more than 500 tanks were lost, and only more than 170 tanks were returned, and most of them were still injured. As for the artillery troops, there was basically nothing left, and only 1/3 of the artillery soldiers came back, and 2/3 of the artillery soldiers were killed.
The losses in the infantry were even worse. More than 10,000 people died on the battlefield, and the Chinese also suffered losses, but the total loss was no more than 5,000 people. Kong Erlangzi was very satisfied with such a loss, but he was not very satisfied here. All the Americans were crying. This was much more serious than the last loss. For General Eisenhower, he really didn't know how to explain to the above. If he had known that this would be the result, he would not have launched such a battle. He would have fought steadily and steadily, and it would have been much better than now. Unfortunately, there was no one selling regret medicine at this time.
Montgomery left after getting angry. At this time, he was not going to stay here. He had sent a telegram to the UK, hoping that Prime Minister Churchill could allow him to go to North Africa, which was much stronger than here. There was basically no hope in the South African region. General Eisenhower had lost all his capital, unless he replaced all the troops here and transported new troops from behind. In this way, they still have hope of victory. However, this may not happen. Unless the minds above are flooded, a large-scale replacement of the troops is not allowed, and the losses will be too great. Therefore, more reinforcements will definitely be sent, but they are all small.
But now these soldiers have a strong sense of failure and will not care about how many people they have come. They will pass on these feelings of failure. At that time, it will belong to the entire army. Everyone knows what the future will be. As long as they are a little enterprising, they will ask to leave here.
