After a day and night of fighting, the defensive positions of the Allied Forces in the depths of the port were covered in burning flames and black smoke. The ground was littered with the bodies of Allied Forces soldiers. The NY Army paid the price of four M48 medium tanks, 12 armored vehicles, and more than 4,000 casualties before they finally captured all the positions.
With the tanks' cooperation, there was no need for so many casualties. However, after they captured the last position, the Allied Forces officer who stayed behind pressed the switch on the bombs buried along the entire defensive line. The 12 positions that the NY Army had captured exploded at the same time. Due to the sheer destructive power, not only were all the attacking soldiers killed, but the tanks and armored vehicles nearby were also destroyed.
The tanks fared better, at most having their chains and wheels destroyed. However, the armored vehicles were too thin and could not withstand the explosion. They were reduced to piles of burning scrap metal. Despite their victory, morale was low in the face of such a large number of casualties. Although the US Army continued to attack, the NY soldiers refused. "They refused the US Army's command on the grounds that they had suffered too many casualties!" They even requested to rest and wait for reinforcements.
Originally, the US Army firmly rejected their unreasonable request. However, the US Army's unyielding attitude forced the NY Army to agree.
The NY monkeys said, "We've been fighting for so many days without rest. We're exhausted. If you want to fight so badly, then go ahead and do it yourself!" "We're soldiers to earn money, not to be cannon fodder for you!" What was the point of giving them more money if they couldn't live to enjoy it? Although the US military had put up notices to increase wages and battlefield allowances, there were very few people who actually responded.
The US Army could only shake their heads and sigh in the face of this pile of useless mud. To be honest, Eagle Chan wanted to do the work himself, but he could still do it after some thought. As for doing it himself? Forget it then!
At the beginning of the Y-War, the US Army had about 20,000 soldiers on the battlefield. However, less than 7,000 of them could fight on land. Most of them were in the Air Force, Navy, artillery, and engineers. About a third of them were engineers.
They might be able to repair cars or tanks, but as for building houses, digging mines, and renovating buildings … Are you kidding me?
I can still guide you. You should know that I came here to earn money and enjoy life, not to be cannon fodder or do hard labor.
On June 3rd, new troops were transferred from the rear to Dongjiang Port where Rolans and the others were stationed. These troops were newly formed to replace the two brigades of the NY 1st Light Infantry Division that had suffered heavy losses during the battle at the port.
These troops had all arrived by helicopter. From the way they got off the helicopter and their demeanor, it was clear that they were all new recruits.
How new was it? It could be said that it was the same as before Huang Tao and the others had received their training.
What was an experienced veteran? It was simple! Those who had seen blood on the battlefield and survived would be veterans! As for why he said that? I won't explain them one by one. Otherwise, people will criticize me. Aluminum Shu
After the recruits got off the plane, a NY officer who led the team came over with a document to ask the US military to sign. At first, he thought it was a simple matter, but the officer couldn't find a single American who was willing to sign.
After the US Army soldiers received the document, they said that they were not officers. Not only did they refuse to sign, but they also refused to answer the NY officer's questions.
It was not until they found Tom, who was sitting at the pier fishing, that they told the entire camp that the only person who was willing to sign and was in charge was their big brother, Rolans! Ever since the commanding officer of the company, Carlos, was injured and left, the entire company was in a state of freedom.
When there was a war, discipline was still acceptable. But when there was no mission? Other than not being able to leave the camp, of course, they could do whatever they wanted. With the help of Huang Tao, Bici, and Bruce, Rolans carried a bucket and dug up sandworms on the beach.
At first, Bruce and the others refused to eat these worms. However, after Rolans processed the worms, they became delicious sandworm porridge and crispy sandworms. After tasting the worms, these guys seemed to be addicted and pestered Rolans every day for sandworms.
Roland, who couldn't ask for more, immediately formed a foodie suicide squad with these guys.
When the officer found him, Rolans was commanding Bici to dig sandworms. After receiving the document from the NY officer, Rolans read it for a few minutes before he understood the meaning of the document. The document was sent by the NY Steam House. The full text was to ask Carlos, the commander of the US Army stationed at Dongjiang Port, to arrange the camp and training for the troops. Most importantly, to collect their ammunition and supplies. Although they were all on the same side, the security of the US warehouse was still very strong. Without their signature, there was no way they could get a single bullet or bread.
When Rolans returned to the camp, he immediately reported this matter to his old superior, Carlos. After obtaining Carlos's approval, Rolans wrote his name on the document.
Looking at the NY officer who was collecting the supplies in the warehouse, Rolans casually said, "It's better to come at the right time than to come at the right time. You guys are in luck tonight!" Just when the officer was confused, Rolans did not explain. He just smiled and left the warehouse.
At 19 o 'clock in the evening, the entire Dongjiang Port was as bright as day. Under the illumination of 60 large light bulbs, the entire port was as lively as if it was a festival. Rows of barbecue grills were placed on the beach, and the meat skewers on the grills exuded a tempting aroma. In addition to ordinary beef and mutton, there were also a lot of seafood and shellfish on the grills.
In addition to the charcoal grilled food, there were 30 tables under the tall palm trees. These tables were already filled with all kinds of mouth-watering delicacies. Boxes of drinks and wine were neatly stacked on the sides of the tables. Looking at the variety of food and wine on the table, as well as the Americans enjoying themselves, the NY army standing in the distance looked at them with envy.
(Don't think that this only exists in novels. In reality, the US Army in World War Y enjoyed themselves like this. However, what the US Army did was even more exaggerated than in my novels. After the banquet, the Americans threw the food on the ground like they were feeding dogs. The NY Army fought over the leftovers like refugees, and the US Army soldiers who threw the food stood by and looked at the farce with disdain.)
The food and wine that the US Army enjoyed naturally came from the materials stored in the warehouse!
After the US Army occupied Dongjiang Port, the port was renovated to facilitate management and transportation. Not only did they install heavy cranes transported from the US mainland, but they also built three huge warehouses. Together with the original four old warehouses, the US Army's ammunition storage finally reached a satisfactory base number.
The US Army was the most extravagant in the world. Not to mention weapons and ammunition, the daily necessities and food supplies alone were an astronomical figure.
Take food for example. The US Army patrolling and fighting in World War Y had an 8-ounce canned main dish, a biscuit or bread, a fruit-flavored drink packet or a small packet of instant coffee, plus three golden candies and three cigarettes a day. As for the golden candies, Rolans later learned that they were sour lemon candies. They were used to refresh themselves. Three candies a day, morning, noon, and night. Just like taking medicine, Rolans was speechless when he ate it for the first time.
Although it was not delicious, it could replenish the energy consumed during strenuous exercise, but it was a high-calorie food.
Rolans's mouth was very picky. Since he was picky, of course, he could not eat it every day. Since he came to this country, he and his brothers would sneak out to improve their meals whenever they had time.
In addition to the food they ate during battle, when there were no missions, they could get better food at the base. For example:
Canadian lamb curry, bacon fried eggs, rice and meat, tomato and basil soup, peaches cut into small pieces, assorted fruits, assorted nuts, assorted tropical fruits, instant electrolyte supplement powder, instant strawberry powder, spicy soy sauce, tea bags.
In addition to the delicious food sent from the rear, Rolans's troops also received a special food sent by the aircraft carrier battle group. Although the food was not much, it was very exquisite.
