At this moment, facing the fierce offensive of the Volunteer Army,
The 1st Marine Division also retreated while fighting.
A large number of US troops have retreated to the vicinity of Gutuli.
Because the commander of the 1st Marine Division had died early,
So now, the 1st Marine Division is commanded personally by Almond, commander of the US 10th Army.
Almond is not only the commander of the 10th Army of the U.S. Army,
He was also MacArthur's chief of staff.
There's something quite interesting about this guy.
Historical evaluations are also polarized.
One view is that he was an extremely outstanding military commander.
After all, he had been appreciated by two five-star generals of the United States: Marshall and MacArthur;
But another view is that
He has no strong business skills and is a complete idiot.
The reason why he had a successful career was because
I have climbed up to my current position.
It's just because he is a complete flatterer.
He said that especially after he got close to MacArthur,
It's like a fish in water.
Because MacArthur was an extremely self-willed person,
And he likes others to flatter him.
And Almond is very good at this.
He not only obeyed MacArthur's orders but also followed his lead.
And that flattery was absolutely awesome,
MacArthur benefited greatly from it.
As a result, he was soon valued by MacArthur!
A representative figure who holds this view,
It was Smith, the former commander of the 1st Marine Division who had already passed away.
Smith was extremely dissatisfied with this man and looked down on him from the bottom of his heart.
He was said to be a general who climbed to the top by flattering others.
Even said Almond is like a fool,
What a useless guy!
He thought that his ability was above Almond's.
But he had to be inferior to Almond,
Accept Almond's leadership,
So I feel extremely unbalanced inside.
…
And this general, whom Smith called a fool and a flatterer,
He had never been to the front line to command before.
However, in terms of attitude towards the volunteers,
He is just like MacArthur.
Not only did he agree with MacArthur in words,
He didn't take the Chinese Volunteer Army seriously at all.
He couldn't believe the defeat the US military suffered in the Battle of Changjiang Lake.
However, when bad news continued to reach his ears,
He finally couldn't sit still anymore!
He could only take a plane and go to Changj Lake in person to command.
But the funniest thing is,
Before this, Almond had the same idea as MacArthur.
He kept pushing forward and refused to retreat.
He also cursed Smith as a spineless coward!
But this time he went to the battlefield in person,
But he came to personally command the retreat of the 1st Marine Division.
And they were chased and beaten by the volunteer soldiers!
At this moment, he has deeply realized the horror of the volunteer army.
I just want to escape from this damn place as soon as possible!
At this moment, Almond has arrived near Gutuli.
So Lieutenant Colonel Richie hurried to greet their commander in person.
Because Almond arrived at the cx battlefield a few days ago,
So I don’t know the specific situation on the Watergate Bridge side.
As soon as he saw Richie, he asked hurriedly:
"How's it going? Is everything going well? How's the situation over at the Watergate Bridge?"
Lieutenant Colonel Richie could only bite the bullet and reply:
"Report...report to the general,"
"The Watergate Bridge... was bombed by the Chinese Volunteer Army the night before last..."
"What?!"
Before Richie could finish his words,
Almond roared loudly:
"You said the Watergate Bridge was bombed?!"
Now there are more than 10,000 Mi troops, and more than 1,000 tanks and vehicles.
After finally escaping the pursuit and interception of the Volunteer Army, I came here.
And now they're telling him that the only accessible road has been bombed?!
Is this a joke?!
Lieutenant Colonel Richie said helplessly:
"General...we...we have indeed tried our best..."
"It's really...it's really that the enemy is too powerful..."
After a while, Almond came back to his senses.
Because he knew that getting angry now would be useless.
I can only ask:
"So, do you have any countermeasures now?"
"Didn't you say that the Watergate Bridge was blown up the night before last?"
"Have you come up with any ideas in the past two days?"
"What did headquarters say?"
Lieutenant Colonel Richie said timidly:
"Dongjing is already urgently producing a batch of bridge components,"
"As soon as the bridge components arrive, we can repair the Watergate Bridge immediately!"
"When will that thing arrive?"
"Around tomorrow noon or afternoon..."
"What?!"
"Tomorrow too?!"
"You know, we are surrounded by Chinese volunteers!"
"And the enemy's attacks are getting more and more fierce!"
"If we wait until tomorrow to repair the bridge, the opportunity will be gone!"
Lieutenant Colonel Richie could only say truthfully:
"General... this is already the fastest speed..."
At this point, Almond could only grit his teeth and say:
"Pass the order down, have the sniper troops and tanks snipe the enemy's attack with all their strength."
"We must hold them back!"
"Yes, General!"
"Besides, we can't just sit there and wait for death,"
