Chapter 343 of the Iron Blood Expeditionary Force of the Anti-Japanese War

b The so-called proposal of the Special Envoy Deshi Emmassen brought the heat and temperature in the conference room back to freezing point. Song Yuhang smiled inexplicably with an inexplicable smile on his lips: "LB Mr. Deshi Emmassen. As a combat whole, the Chinese Expeditionary Force is first and foremost an inseparable collective. This has been recognized by President Roosevelt. In addition, the Chinese Expeditionary Force is not a vassal army of the United States or the Allied countries. We should play a more proactive role in future battles. The Chinese Expeditionary Force can obey the combat orders issued by the joint command of the Sino-US. Moreover, the Chinese Expeditionary Force is determined to be more confident in completing any tasks assigned by the Allied countries."

Song Yuhang opposed the dispersal use of the Chinese conscripts. lb Deshi Emmason had already expected it. As the saying goes, asking for a price to pay back the money. Regarding Song Yuhang's proposal to form a joint command system between China and the United States. lb Deshi Emmason believes that it is very feasible. lb Deshi Emmason knew that Nimitz and MacArthur, who were also in the Pacific War Zone, were fiercely competing for command. However, Song Yuhang, as the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, had a stance that he had to be on par from the beginning. The original two of them became a triangular competition.

lb Deshi Emmason knew that the highest command of the Pacific War Zone would not fall into the hands of the Chinese. However, Song Yuhang's price was difficult for him to deal with. In order to ensure the breakdown of the negotiations, lb Deshi Emmason directly asked Roosevelt for the Chinese Expeditionary Force as an independent combat cooperation position and the establishment of a joint command system between China and the United States.

Ronaldo, who was having afternoon tea, smiled at this and handed the telegram to Marshall. After reading the telegram from Desch Emmason, Marshall pondered for a moment, and said: "It is indeed imperative to establish a joint command system between China and the United States. However, does the Chinese team have enough to take on the independent battle? Do we need to be cautious about this?"

Roosevelt shook his head and said: It is true that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese team is generally low. However, the combat effectiveness of the unit commanded by Song Yuhang can be said to be superior to all the direct ace troops of his government. As far as I know, most of the officers and soldiers of this team are extreme Chinese nationalists. They regard death in combat as the highest honor for soldiers. This unit has created too many miracles. It can even be said that no unit in the US Army can surpass them in the combat effectiveness."

He called back and told LB Dexi, Masen. Everything was as he wished! He could give Song Yuhang everything he needed. The purpose was only. The Chinese Expeditionary Force must send troops in mid-August.

After receiving Roosevelt's call back, at the afternoon meeting, LB Desim Emmason happily agreed to all the almost reasonable requests made by Song Yuhang, including sending 500 officers and non-commissioned officers with experience in island landing operations to Kolkata for training the Chinese Expeditionary Force and supplementing the armored vehicles and artillery urgently needed by the mechanized troops and lightweight divisions of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

Regarding the time and strength of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, Song Yuhang said that by mid-August, the first batch of four entire divisions will be sent to the Pacific battlefield.

Song Yuhang's promise lb Dexi Emmason was relieved. As the envoy, lb Dexi Emmason's mission was actually very simple. He had only one task. That is, according to President Roosevelt's request, everything could satisfy Song Yuhang.

Roosevelt had a very clear attitude towards the Chinese Expeditionary Force joining the Pacific battlefield. Since he had to work hard for himself, he had to fulfill the other party's request first.

After the agreement was completed, Song Yu and LB Deshi Emmason said goodbye at Kolkata Airport and Song Yuhang left himself in the room alone. He would join the Pacific battlefield as the vanguard of the Expeditionary Force to fight Song Yuhang felt very stressed.

Even in the 21st century, when the war mode has undergone tremendous changes, it is still a problem. The bloody battle in the Guadalcana Islands has made the US Army, who has enjoyed a long time of peace, frightened. The huge death made the US military afraid of the island landing war and stopped. MacArthur has not yet proposed his famous "frog jump" attack tactics. All the memories of the island landing war are from the information they know in later generations. Song Yuhang is mentally prepared for the huge and heavy casualties that the island landing war will be paid.

If we follow the historical process, Nimitz, commander-in-chief of the Pacific Theater of the US Army, will follow the bloody battle of the Guadalcanal Islands, and the leapfrog combat plan of MacArthur, the highest military commander of the Pacific Theater Army. Then the first thing the Chinese Expeditionary Force will face is the bloody battle between Saipan and Iwo Jima. After Okinawa and the future landing of Song Yuhang onto Japan, the casualties of the Chinese Expeditionary Force will likely exceed one million.

Song Yuhang sat quietly on a rattan chair. He wanted to attack Japan and prevent the United States from using atomic bombs. Undoubtedly, the Chinese Expeditionary Force must undertake most of the combat tasks. Taking on most of the combat tasks means that the Chinese Expeditionary Force will undertake most of the combat tasks.

Some casualties.

宋雨航也是普通人.有七情六欲.中国远征军可以说是他一手带出的精锐之师.他对支能征善战的部队有着特殊的感情.但是为了民族和国家最终利益.这支部队面临着巨大的牺牲.宋雨航知道为了民族的再次崛起这些牺牲是在所难免的作为部队的最高军事指挥官.宋雨航同样要为自己所指的负责.

The fate of the Chinese expeditionary force depends entirely on his own thoughts. Song Yuhang knew that if we look at the sacrifices and prices paid to attack Japan from the current perspective, it would undoubtedly not be in line with the current strategic and political interests. However, when we think of the next generation in decades, we will repeatedly deal with Japan's evil neighbor, and have an entangled territorial waters issue. No matter how much sacrifice we make today, it will be worth it. Song Yu has a personal feeling about this.

Regarding the fact that he became the nominal commander and commander of the three Chinese conquest forces and thus stayed away from the political center of Chongqing, Song Yuhang's heart was like a mirror. Everything had a price. The price in front of him was to use the so-called future to exchange for the opportunity of China's expedition to fight on the Pacific battlefield. Song Yuhang was very eager to turn this opportunity to reverse history. The opportunity to completely knock Japan down to the ground.

Song Yuhang will also do everything possible to promote the occupation of China's troops. In history, China, one of the four countries in World War II, lost the precious opportunity of Japanese troops for various reasons, and thus completely eliminated the opportunity to effectively control Japan's development.

However, what casualties will the Chinese Expeditionary Force, which lacks corresponding training, suffer when dealing with the island landing war? Song Yuhang was really powerless about this. Song Hang racked his brains to recall the major mistakes in the island landing war during World War II in history. He summarized all these mistakes. After detailed writing and arrangement of training lesson plans, Song Yuhang also knew that if he directly summarized these mistakes, it would be too shocking.

The first four divisions selected by Song Yuhang to join the Pacific battlefield were the second lightweight division of Fang Lin's unit, the third lightweight division of Li Haibo's unit, and the fourth unit under the command of the infantry commander of the Second Mechanized Army, the mountain infantry division of Zhang Tiansheng's unit, and the first unit of various technical military units.

Faced with the fact that the first batch of troops had only less than one and a half years of adaptation training time, Song Yuhang was also helpless. The Americans were eager to give the Japanese army a heavy blow on the Pacific battlefield. The island that captured the Japanese army as an important defense link to support was the only way to seize the Japanese army as a defense chain, which could make the Japanese army feel a serious threat. In addition, the main force of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet was forced to fight decisively on the Pacific Ocean.

Although the losses of the US military in the Mariana Battle in the Guarcanal Islands were much greater than those of the Japanese army. However, based on the strong industrial strength of the United States, the US military established a supplement after the losses. The so-called "victory" Japanese Navy Combined Fleet had to rest. The huge industrial system of Japan and the United States had already determined the outcome of the war.

The Americans knocked down the Japanese whom they hated, and they didn't want to bear such huge casualties from the troops. However, they gave the China Expeditionary Force too little adaptive training time. Song Yuhang knew that he could only do his best.

The first thing that the envoy of LB Desim Emma who returned to the United States was to report to Roosevelt about the results of the contacts during this trip, Roosevelt was always concerned about Yuhang, one of the few outstanding generals in the Chinese army with outstanding abilities. He could be said to be very satisfied with the results brought back by LB Desim Emmason. He believed that as long as the Chinese Expeditionary Force agreed to leave the Pacific Ocean, as the war progressed, the will will not be shifted by the will of the Chinese.

However, Marshall questioned Song's attempt to place his command position with the same command position as the commander of the US military theater commander. Song Yuhang's proposal actually repositioned the Chinese team, cooperated with the US war and shouldered independent combat tasks. Instead of the fact that Nimitz and MacArthur hoped that the Chinese expeditionary force would directly accept the command of the US military, was a huge difference.

In Roosevelt's view, Marshall's concerns were completely the indulgence of his Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. After the bloody battle in the Guadalcanal Islands, Nimitz realized that relying solely on his Marines would not be able to take on the landing mission. He wanted to break through the three lines of defense established by the Japanese army on Chain Island in the Pacific Ocean. Just as the landing battle in the Guadalcanal Islands would be like a common occurrence.

The long-term fierce battle and the harsh natural environment seriously affected the health of the officers and soldiers. Almost all the officers and soldiers of the Marine Landing Divisions fighting in Guadalam suffered from various jungles and dysentery. It can be said that half of the US military's reduction was non-combat reduction.
