blood feud

After the U.S.-Philippine coalition forces failed to stop the Japanese landing on the beachhead in Manila, MacArthur ordered the coalition forces to withdraw to the Bataan Peninsula and stand for reinforcements. The order was to "execute the Orange Plan."

Because in this plan, it is expected that the US military will stick to the Bataan Peninsula and wait for the support of the Pacific Fleet.For this reason, various facilities of the US military on the Bataan Peninsula are prepared in advance.

Of course, it has been predicted in the "Orange Plan" that the Philippines will be difficult to hold, but the United States can still take back the Philippines by relying on its naval superiority.

Bai Shujie thinks that MacArthur is "a idiot, stupider than a pig", and there is a reason.

The "Orange Plan" was formulated in 1939. At that time, the United States never thought that the little Japanese devils would dare to attack the Pearl Harbor fleet.

If it hadn't been for President Roosevelt's "bitter tricks" and a "play hard to get", Yamamoto 56 would not have been "successful".

"Project Orange" has passed, and the Pearl Harbor Pacific Fleet has been destroyed by the little devils. MacArthur still implements this futile plan mechanically, which is simply the way of thinking of kindergarten children.

Douglas MacArthur, born on January 1880, 1, graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point with the No.26 grade in his class, and went to the Philippines as a second lieutenant in the 1rd Engineer Battalion of the U.S. Army.

In November 1930, MacArthur accepted the temporary rank of general and was sworn in as chief of staff of the U.S. Army.

In 1935, MacArthur's term as Army Chief of Staff expired, and he was transferred to the rank of Major General as the military adviser to President Quezon of the Philippines.

In August 1936, he was awarded the rank of Marshal of the Philippines.

In June 1941, the U.S. military adopted the "Rainbow 6" plan and decided to focus on Europe and make all tactical preparations for fighting the Axis powers.

In July of the same year, Washington ordered the merger of the Philippine Army and the US military stationed in the Philippines, transferred MacArthur to active duty, and was promoted to lieutenant general. military.

Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese invaded the Philippines.Due to MacArthur's misjudgment and mishandling, most of the US bombers and fighter jets stationed in the Philippines were destroyed.

MacArthur moved the U.S. Philippine Army Command to Corregidor, and all troops withdrew from Manila to the Bataan Peninsula, declaring Manila an undefended city.

In order to prevent MacArthur from becoming a prisoner, the U.S. government ordered him to transfer the command to Wainwright and go to Australia to serve as the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in the Southwest Pacific Theater to command the Allied Forces in the region.

Subsequently, Lieutenant General Masahiro Honma launched the final attack, and about 75000 U.S. and Filipino troops in Bataan were forced to surrender to the Japanese.

After the fall of Bataan, Lieutenant General Wainwright, who was transferred to Herod Island in Corriere to command operations, ordered all American and Philippine troops to surrender through Radio Manila the next day.

The turning point in history is that MacArthur was vomiting blood in his heart while planning to seek revenge from the Japanese monkeys in the Philippines.As a result, Bai Shujie stepped in, defeated the "invincible and powerful Japanese army", and slapped him hard on the old face.

What a shame!

MacArthur believed that he was humiliated twice by the Japanese monkey and the "China devil" Bai Shujie in a short period of half a year.

Bai Shujie knew that MacArthur's anger was completely worthy of sympathy, and he said in his heart that he was "totally understandable."

It turns out that the 2nd Army of the United States and the Philippines under the command of Parker did not retreat into Australia. Instead, it stood on the Victoria Peninsula of Papua and blocked the crazy attack of the 30th Brigade of the Little Devils. Tactics bought time and laid the groundwork.

However, Bai Shujie stepped in, and Zhang Xiang and Hou Zide commanded the Jewish International Corps to cut off the retreat of the 30th Brigade of the Little Devils.

In order to fight for a glimmer of life, the 30th Little Devils Brigade took defense in the north, but launched a desperate charge in the south against Parker's 2nd Army, which was sticking to the Victoria Peninsula.

As a result, the strength of Parker's 2nd Army directly lost one-third in three days, and thus lost its combat effectiveness, and was forced to retreat across the Torres Strait into Australia!

Yes, Parker's 2nd Army was completely defeated by the little Japanese devils, and the defeat was terrible.

However, what made MacArthur intolerable was that only seven days later, the 30th Brigade of Little Japanese Monkeys was wiped out from the brigade commander down, and was eaten by the so-called "Jewish International Corps" to nothing left!

The little Japanese devils were wiped out by Bai Shujie's Third Fleet in the Pacific "Southern Fleet" above New Britain Island.And captured 1 battleship, 4 cruisers and 3 destroyers using the "cloud bomb".Let the strength of Bai Shujie's third fleet suddenly inflate, and then regain the Cross Islands.

MacArthur believed that if the "Jewish International Corps" hadn't stabbed the Japanese monkey's butt in the north, it would be impossible for Parker's 2nd Army to be hit desperately by the little Japanese monkey, and it would be impossible to suffer heavy losses.

Although the "Jewish International Corps" did not directly attack the US-Philippine coalition forces, Parker's 2nd Army actually suffered a big loss from the "Jewish International Corps"!In other words, it was the damned "Jewish International Corps" that defeated Parker's 2nd Army.

After arriving in Australia, MacArthur led the Chief of Staff Sutherland to set up the headquarters in Brisbane.At this time, Roosevelt, who was far away in the United States, also knew the statement issued by the "Jewish Republic of Papua".Therefore, after urgent consultations, the first decision was made: show Bai Shujie some color!

At this time, MacArthur received an order from the Joint Chiefs of Staff to be responsible for the overall integration of all Allied forces in the Southwest Pacific and to assume the role of Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces.These troops specifically include:

Parker has more than 2 people from the 17000nd Army of the US-Philippines Allied Forces, more than 2 people from the 3nd and 37000rd Divisions of the Australian Army, 13 squadrons of the Royal Australian Air Force, more than 4300 people from the F Battalion, G Battalion, and Z Battalion of the Second Division of the US Southwest Pacific Marine Division. Remnants of the Southwest Pacific Army Air Group.

Shortly thereafter, Roosevelt once again ordered an exceptional promotion order: Chester William Nimitz was directly promoted from a major general to a four-star admiral of the navy, and served as the commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet and the Pacific Ocean, unified command of all naval fleets in the Pacific Ocean.

In order to coordinate the pace of future wars, Nimitz rushed to Australia to exchange views carefully with MacArthur who was in trouble.Unexpectedly, as soon as the two people met, they would have a huge conflict with MacArthur's strategic guiding ideology.

Nimitz believed that the campaign with "New Guinea-Halmahera-Mindanao as the axis" should be launched first, and then "squeeze" Bai Shujie out of the Philippines.

However, MacArthur has been formulating a complete combat plan in recent months.Therefore, he believes that he should first seize the Mindanao Air Force Base, isolate Luzon, and then attack Taiwan and the coast of China, cut off Bai Shujie's escape route back to the Korean Peninsula, and finally turn around and punish Bai Shujie to death.

The two were supported by Army Chief of Staff Marshall and Secretary of Naval Operations King, respectively.In the end, Roosevelt expressed support for the latter.

No matter which plan is implemented, the most critical thing is to immediately increase the transportation of war materials and equipment in the United States.However, MacArthur's eagerness for revenge ran into trouble.

It turned out that on the first Sunday after the Pearl Harbor incident, Winston Churchill, accompanied by members of the Chiefs of Staff Committee, visited the United States on the Royal Navy's newest warship "Vice Duke of York".

Their most urgent task is to persuade the Americans to continue to implement the original plan, defeat Hitler's "Europe first" strategy, and not to transfer manpower and material resources to the Pacific battlefield.

Three days later, General Eisenhower's military planning committee finally dispelled various plans to send a rescue transport fleet to the Far East.That would be "completely unreasonable," he said in the report.

However, with the "unbelievable defeat" of the British army in Burma, Churchill's "swearing" oath to ensure the Pacific battlefield has once again become a joke.

Roosevelt found that the problems in the Southwest Pacific were more serious than expected, so he immediately adjusted the original plan, decided to form the Pacific Fleet, and appointed Admiral Nimitz as the commander-in-chief of the Pacific Theater.Jurisdiction:
