Husford asked Marshall, chief of the general staff of the Second Army, to make a precise judgment on the so-called guest artillery.
The work is a prelude to the right to authorize the 27th Infantry Division's Major General Smith to dispose of it on the spot, as long as one of the three conditions is met, the US military can lay down its arms and stop resisting.
Song Yuhang was invited by Turner to the battleship New Jersey, in the spacious and luxurious headquarters of the battleship New Jersey, Song Yuhang looked at the map of Saipan on the desktop made of pineapple wood, he knew that all the energy of the US military was focused on the decisive battle with the Japanese navy, and they actually couldn't come up with any effective solution for the troops landing on Saipan.
The U.S.
Army has had an unconventional pact since World War I, an agreement in which the military authorized commanders on the battlefield to determine that troops were unable to achieve their objectives.
In order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, the troops were allowed to lay down their arms and surrender with the honor and pride of a soldier.
Song Yuhang knows this well.
In World War II, there were six large-scale surrenders of more than 10,000 U.S. troops, two of which were denied by the U.S. because they were too embarrassing.
In the subsequent Korean battlefield, the US military also had a precedent of company and battalion-level operations, and a single person surrendered without resistance after being surrounded by our volunteers.
"If the Americans really laid down their arms.
What should we do" Song Yuhang connected to Liang Chao's radio, the Chinese Expeditionary Force represents the existence of the highest force of the squadron, surrender and capture These words will not appear in the dictionary of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, the Chinese Expeditionary Force and the Japanese army have long entered the opposite side of the death party, surrender can only be self-inflicted, death is more painful, there is an unwritten rule in the expeditionary force, each soldier hangs a "glorious bullet" with a red cloth strip under his chest And the officer's pistol magazine always has a magazine with only one round in it.
The glorious bullet and the last bullet symbolize the spirit of the Chinese expeditionary force that is unyielding and uncompromising, for these unwritten rules Song Yuhang and make restrictions, in his opinion the Chinese have lost their bloodiness for too long and too long, and the bloodiness has been worn out little by little, and it must also be found back little by little, especially for soldiers who regard honor as equivalent to life, bloodiness is very important.
Song Yuhang also realized at the same time that the bloody nature of his expeditionary force had been imperceptibly developing towards the aspect of animal nature, and there were some uncontrollable signs, which made him painstakingly guide the young officers, after all, when he mentioned the heroic experience of starving for Hulu meat and laughing at the thirsty blood of the heroes in the Savage Mountain, he himself was very proud and proud.
The power of idols is endless, and Song Yuhang has naturally become a model among young officers.
Therefore, in the expeditionary force, the practice of killing the Japanese invaders in every battle is very popular, from grassroots officers to senior commanders, no one realizes that their subconscious is undergoing earth-shaking changes, and this era makes him Song Yuhang where to find a large number of experienced psychological counselors For all this, Song Yuhang could only let it go.
In this world of equivalence theory, everything needs to be compensated, just like paying the price to win, but what worries Song Yuhang is that after this battle, these tens of thousands have entered a state of war, like a tiger with a sword out of its sheath, where should it go Communication between Washington and the Pacific Fleet and the Department of Defense confirmed that General Marshall had authorized the 27th Infantry Division to land on Saipan and that the troops could make the necessary choices as he deemed permissible.
No one would think this is good news.
The huge fleets of the Japanese and U.S. armies were playing "hide and seek" in the waters of the Mariana Islands, although both sides knew that this little game of hide and seek was coming to an end.
But the two sides are still very patient waiting for each other, but the plight and tragic experience of the Saipan landing force shocked almost everyone like a thunderbolt from the sky, those American officers and soldiers who ran out of ammunition and food were surrounded by the Japanese on the beach and slaughtered, which is worrying, and more importantly, paper can't contain the fire, once the matter is reported in China, then an uproar is bound to rise from the ground, it seems that from Roosevelt to Marshall, or Nimitz, Turner, no one can stay out of the matter.
Although the 27th Infantry Division was still fighting fiercely at Gloo Beach, the fate of this unit seemed to have been decided, and the eight landing craft loaded with supplies sent by Turner were all sunk or subverted by Japanese artillery fire, and the last effort also failed, Smith looked at the silent landing craft and the materials floating far on the sea, and took off his steel helmet for a long time.
As an extremely important part of the Allied Pacific's Pacific strategy, the Chinese Expeditionary Force has always been highly valued by Roosevelt and Marshall and others, and the American generals who originally despised the Chinese army also discovered from the beach-grabbing in the Battle of Saipan that the Chinese army was not as unbearable as they originally thought.
They are even very reluctant to admit that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army has surpassed that of the Marine Corps, which the US military is proud of.
At this time, in the West Room of the White House in Washington, Roosevelt and Marshall had lunch, and Roosevelt and Marshall did not seem to have anything.
When Roosevelt picked up the cup of water brought by the waiter, he was suddenly stunned and asked, "Now the boys of the 20th Infantry Division on the beachhead of Saipan Island have not had water to drink for two days."
Marshall was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "The ammunition and medical supplies have been exhausted, and the real ammunition and food are gone." ” Roosevelt nodded and said, "I know, it's a hard fight, and a lot of short-sighted guys in the country can't see the future behind this war, if we win this war."
The United States of America is about to usher in a global American era. ” Roosevelt paused and continued: "But I heard that the troops of the Chinese Expeditionary Force are still fighting, do they have supplies or support?"
Roosevelt's inquiry embarrassed Marshall, but he replied sharply: "President, sir, the Chinese have received less support and supplies than ours, and it is not a miracle that they can still keep fighting." ” Roosevelt nodded, but said nothing, both Roosevelt and Marshall knew that the pressure on the Chinese Expeditionary Force to go abroad to fight when most of the country's territory was still under the Japanese army.
Because the US military made strategic and tactical mistakes and saw the main force of the elite of the two regiments of the Chinese Expeditionary Force cut off, the anger of the Chinese Expeditionary Force can naturally be imagined.
Roosevelt directly asked Marshall to personally call Nimitz and Turner and that the matter must be properly handled, otherwise it will affect the follow-up military cooperation between China and the United States.
What worried Roosevelt the most was that Song Yuhang's temper should have been thunderous a long time ago, but until now Song Yuhang has not expressed his dissatisfaction with anyone in the United States.
That's what Roosevelt was really afraid of.
As far as he knew, Song Yuhang was the spiritual leader of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in a sense, and this unit led by Song Yuhang was fighting against the Japanese.
Every battle is bound to be bloody to the end, and only Song Yuhang can control such an army in China.
Roosevelt could even see from Soong Meiling's proud expression when she talked about the Chinese Expeditionary Force that the Chinese Expeditionary Force had a very strong flavor of the Song Army.
Song Yuhang's calmness made Roosevelt feel the feeling of stormy city, it can be said that as the president of the United States of America, he rarely cared so much about an allied general, Song Yuhang was a soldier.
He can ignore it for the sake of his Song family, but Roosevelt can't, he is a politician.
After thinking about it, Roosevelt decided to connect with Song Yuhang, and he wanted to talk to Song Yuhang, a Chinese general who spoke English quite well, because as the connection between the latest radio station and wired communication deployed by the network, only the United States could carry out the connection in the world in four years.
The transfer used multiple operators and 14 large radio exchanges, from Washington to Hawaii to Midway, Guadalcanal multiple terrestrial radio stations, only this line could talk, countless dial-up requests were put on hold for an indefinite period of time, which has never been seen in the history of American telecommunications, and forty minutes later finally connected to the battleship New Jersey, where Song Yuhang was located.
When the captain of the battleship New Jersey, Colonel Codifi, picked up the intercom, he was stunned for a moment, then slowly turned around and handed the phone to Song Yuhang, who was standing by the radio and anxiously waiting to contact the beachhead.
"General Song, the president is looking for you" Codifi's words stunned everyone, including Turner and the others, and the entire bridge was silent, and everyone stopped what they were doing and turned their eyes to Song Yuhang and the phone in his hand.
A U.S. military staff officer sitting next to him spilled the hot coffee in his hand, and he didn't even know a piece of his pants.
Ke Bianfei was also slightly stunned when he saw Song Yuhang, thinking that he might not have made it clear, so he hurriedly added: "President Roosevelt is looking for you."
Cobianfei unconsciously used the title "you", and it seemed to him that the president could dial the phone here to find a Chinese general, all of which was incredible.
Roosevelt's voice was a little erratic and not even stable because of the length of the line, but it could basically ensure smooth communication, and Roosevelt first expressed regret for the mistakes made by the US troops in the landing battle on Saipan and expressed concern about the Chinese expeditionary force that had landed on the island.
Subsequently, Roosevelt got straight to the point and said: "Between the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, I would suggest that the Department of Defense use the Chinese Expeditionary Force as the main force, the US Pacific Fleet as a supporting support, and the US Marine Corps as a regrouping force in the future Pacific Island landing war, so that the US Army can concentrate more troops for the future European battlefield, and the Chinese Expeditionary Force will also gain greater tactical space and more resources.

But all this will be based on whether the Chinese expeditionary force can assume its combat missions in the Pacific theater. ”:
