"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Several German Navy destroyers sailed to the sea less than two kilometers away from the east coast of São Miguel Island, and used Naval Gun to shoot wildly at the coast. Although most of them are small-caliber rapid-fire cannons, for the officers and soldiers of US Marine Corps, these shells are enough to easily tear them into pieces.
In the air, fighter jets taking off from the aircraft carrier German Navy were strafing US Marine Corps's position. The bullets from the aircraft machine guns hit the sand, leaving deep bullet holes. Many US Marine Corps soldiers were broken into two pieces after being hit by bullets from aircraft machine guns.
Under the cover of firepower from Naval Gun, a battalion of troops from 1st Marine Division was making a beach landing.
US Marine Corps's defensive firepower is not strong, just sparse. In addition, their artillery positions had already been destroyed by German Navy using Naval Gun or Carrier-based aircraft, which made it impossible for them to intercept the landing of German Marine Corps.
German Marine Corps rushed to the beach at an extremely small cost and began to attack US Marine Corps's defense line.
Several slower Amphibious Tank vehicles also drove onto the beach to provide fire support for the officers and soldiers of Marine Corps who attacked the beach.
Under the fierce attack of German Marine Corps, who was armed to the teeth, US Marine Corps was defeated and was quickly defeated, allowing German Marine Corps to easily capture the beach and establish a solid beachhead.
Subsequently, the main force of German military began to land. After the landing is completed, we will begin to sweep the depths of the island.
The two divisions of German Marine Corps, with the assistance of the fleet, swept Azores very smoothly. US Marine Corps, simply irresistible. Even many US soldier, after the defense line was breached, immediately threw away their weapons, raised their hands and surrendered to German military. For them, since they are destined to fail to win, saving their own lives is undoubtedly the most important thing.
"General, the situation is very unfavorable to us. 1st Regiment has lost one battalion, and the morale of the remaining two battalions has been seriously affected. Their combat effectiveness cannot be exerted at all." Major General Moore, chief of staff of United States 1st Marine Division, reported to the division commander Major General Cameron. In his tone, he no longer had any confidence in this battle.
"I know that we can't win at all. But we still have to persevere. You must have seen the domestic orders. Your Excellency the President has already called us the pride of Republic of America." Major General Cameron said with a wry smile.
"Shit! Those damn politicians just want us to die." Major General Moore cursed.
Major General Cameron did not refute. Indeed, he also knew that the domestic intention was to let their group of people die heroically. In that case, they will become the heroes of Republic of America. You don't need to think about it to know that those politicians will definitely try their best to publicize their heroic deeds of fighting to the end. By then, it will definitely arouse people's hatred towards Germany. The government can use this to divert people's attention and get away with it.
However, as a general, he seemed unable to disobey domestic orders. A soldier's bounden duty is to obey orders, even if they are wrong orders, they must be carried out to the end.
"General, the Germany people are not only supported by Naval Gun, but also supported by aircraft. Our soldiers braved the enemy's fierce artillery fire and air strikes to fight. This is really too difficult for them. It is no different from letting them die. We can't continue like this!" Major General Moore persuaded.
Originally, the combat power of US Marine Corps could not be compared with German Marine Corps. Now the support firepower of the two sides is even more different. Under such circumstances, US Marine Corps is indeed no different from dying.
"I will ask the country for instructions. If the country allows us to surrender, I will issue an order to surrender!" Major General Cameron hesitated for a moment, and then said.
Major General Moore A flash of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He knew that Major General Cameron's request for instructions would definitely be rejected. Those damn politicians didn't pay attention to these soldiers who were fighting desperately on the front, they just used them as tools.
As expected by Major General Moore, Major General Cameron's request for instructions was once again rejected. The leaders of the United States* military asked them to continue to stick to Azores, and also assured them that the government was actively communicating with the Germany people and would soon be able to rescue them safely to United States.
This is undoubtedly a lie. This is what the government promised them before. However, what they were waiting for was the indiscriminate bombing and endless killing of the Germany people. Obviously, US government simply does not have the ability to reach an agreement with the Germany people, and naturally does not have the ability to rescue them. If they want to continue to live, they have to rely on themselves.
That night, Major General Moore secretly summoned a group of middle and lower-level officers.
"Everyone, I have a very regrettable news to tell you. The country has once again rejected General Cameron's request for instructions and asked us to continue to hold on here." Major General Moore said.
"Assholes, they want to kill us all!" Captain yelled.
"General Cameron has decided to implement domestic orders and require us to continue to hold on. Everyone knows what this will mean. We will all be killed by Germany people in the next battle." Major General Moore said.
Suddenly, the faces of all the officers turned ugly. No one wanted to die, not even these soldiers. They also have a desire to survive.
"Chief of Staff, what should we do to survive?" asked a major battalion commander.
"We can only launch a mutiny and imprison General Cameron. Then, in the name of the chief of staff, I will order the troops to lay down their weapons. I do this entirely so that more people can survive. This is simply a wrong war." Major General Moore said.
The officers hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Two hours later, a group of officers led a brigade of soldiers to raid Division Headquarters and arrested Major General Cameron.
Subsequently, United States 1st Marine Division Chief of Staff Major General Moore ordered the troops to stop resisting, put down their weapons, and surrender to German military. This order was carried out very thoroughly. Those soldiers also want to live!
