Seeing Julian disappearing at the door, even Chi Yaohui couldn't help but get angry.
As an ally who came from afar, Julian didn't want to take care of them. He actually wanted to take away half of the little air power they had, regardless of the consequences. It can be seen from this that although Julian seemed to be
He sounds gentle, but the white supremacist mentality in his heart is exactly the same as John's.
"Okay, Lao Chi, it's not worth getting angry with this kind of person."
On the contrary, Gao Hongming seemed much calmer. He had already experienced the old and American way of being a world policeman in later generations.
Compared with the old Americans of later generations, Julian today is already very restrained.
If it were the Americans of later generations... Hehe... They were so skilled at detaining, detaining, assassinating and even spying on their allies in all kinds of ugly things. Now Julian's verbal threats could only be regarded as childish.
After getting angry, Chi Yaohui asked worriedly: "Tuan Zuo, we have refuted Julian's face like this today, will he be doing something behind his back?"
"It's definitely a small move." Gao Hongming sneered, "But it can only be a small move. After all, he is not stupid. He knows that it will not be good for him if things get bigger.
Otherwise, if he offends us and brings the matter to the White House, Roosevelt will be embarrassed to openly defend him. After all, these are extraordinary times.
Once he really pisses us off, we withdraw our troops back home in anger, and everyone breaks up, he can't afford such consequences."
------------------
Gao Hongming was right. Although Julian was still filled with hatred on his way back, he quickly calmed down.
He took a cigarette out of his pocket and put it in his mouth. Seeing this, the staff officer on the side quickly took out a lighter and lit it for him.
At this time, the adjutant boldly asked: "Sir, that Chinese general dared to refuse your request. He is too courageous. How about we stop supplying them when we return?"
"madness!"
Julian glared at the adjutant: "Don't you think we have enough things to do? Gao Hongming is the person who can talk directly to the White House. Once things get serious, we will all be in trouble."
After saying that, Julian pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance.
Originally, he thought that as long as he made a request or showed a tough attitude, Gao Hongming would happily agree to his request, but now it seems that he still underestimated the other party's toughness. This guy is worthy of being the one who shouldered his predecessor's shoulders.
It stands to reason that with John's lesson in mind, Julian shouldn't have come so rashly, but yesterday's battle really scared him.
In just one day's work, the Eighth Marine Regiment lost more than 800 people, which was almost a quarter of the battle loss ratio. According to this style of fighting, the Eighth Marine Regiment would have been completely wiped out after a few more days of fighting.
As the commander of the Second Marine Division, he was directly responsible for the huge casualties suffered by the troops. This is why he came here even though he knew that he might be rejected.
"Forget it, let's fight for another two days and see. If the casualties are still so heavy, then we can only ask General Spruance to talk to General Gao personally." Julian could only think so.
------------------
The air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke. Lying among several corpses, Li Sanpao listened carefully to the nearby explosions. From time to time, clods of earth blown up by the shells fell from the air, occasionally accompanied by broken limbs. It seemed like a few seconds
The broken arm fell to the ground a few meters ahead.
The shells that fell from time to time scared him to the point of motionlessness. This had nothing to do with courage. No matter how strong a person was, he could only pray for God's blessing in the face of the falling shells.
This feeling of waiting for death makes Li Sanpao feel extremely tortured. Sometimes he would rather hope that a cannonball will fall on him and end all this suffering.
This is not because Li Sanpao has a poor psychological quality or is timid. According to surveys, many soldiers on the battlefield had similar thoughts when facing the same situation, just like many people would jump when they stood on the top of a tall building and looked down.
The impulse is the same.
At this moment, Li Sanpao heard a strange whistling sound coming from the air. It was different from the sharp or dull whistling sound made when ordinary artillery shells breached, but more like the sound made when the air was torn apart.
"Boom!" A loud noise was followed by the ground shaking, and a terrifying air wave mixed with clods of soil, broken limbs, and broken wood passed over Li Sanpao's head. The force was so violent that it took away almost all the air, causing
He comes by not being angry.
"This is an opportunity."
Taking a deep breath of the air full of gunpowder smoke, with his head pounding and unable to hear a sound, Li Sanpao realized that this might be a rare opportunity.
He stood up suddenly, not caring to spit out the dirt mixed with blood in his mouth, and ran forward wildly, taking advantage of the smoke to block the sight of the Japanese army on the opposite side, and sprinted to a big rock more than a hundred meters away.
.
One meter above the big rock, a Type 92 heavy machine gun was pouring out tongues of fire crazily forward. The thumping sound like a woodpecker kept stimulating Li Sanpao's heart.
He turned his head and saw that the smoke behind him had gradually dissipated. In his path, several corpses lay scattered on the ground. They were his comrades who were attacking with him.
This bunker is located at the corner of a cliff. There is a rock formation more than ten meters thick above the head. It is also located in the blind spot of artillery fire. It is difficult for aircraft, heavy artillery or recoilless rifles to hit directly. To remove it, you can only use the most powerful method.
In order to capture this bunker using primitive methods, his company had already lost more than ten soldiers.
Looking at the machine gun above his head that was still spitting flames, Li Sanpao mentally took out a cluster grenade consisting of seven M24 handle grenades with the wooden handle removed from the canvas bag at his waist and unscrewed the cover at the end of the handle.
.
After rushing forward for a few meters, I pulled the fuse sharply, and the grenade immediately made a chirping sound and smoke.
At the same time, Li Sanpao also rushed to the side of the bunker and stuffed the cluster grenade into the narrow shooting hole. After doing this, he immediately lay down on the ground and rolled behind the big rock below.
"boom……"
With a loud bang, 700 grams of TNT exploded in the small bunker. A ball of fire and a powerful shock wave, accompanied by thick smoke, instantly spewed out of the shooting hole. This explosion swallowed up the lives of more than a dozen soldiers.
The bunker was finally demolished.
After doing all this, Li Sanpao struggled to stand up, but found a sharp pain coming from his back, and most of his strength had disappeared. He tried several times, but finally had no choice but to give up.
Just when he was dazed, a sharp whistle seemed to ring in his ears, and countless soldiers rushed up from below, rushed past him, and rushed towards the Japanese position...
