Front, Florida Front, US Army Position.

In Clay City, 100 kilometers west of Jackson City, a large military camp suddenly appeared on the open space outside the city!

Vehicles came and went on the road outside the military camp, filling the narrow road. A large number of trucks loaded with wounded soldiers went in and out, bringing countless wounded soldiers from the front line here.

This military camp was originally used for the US military to live in, but now it has completely become a camp for wounded soldiers of the US military, and as the battle situation on the front line becomes increasingly fierce, more and more wounded soldiers are sent here, so that this place is almost overcrowded and overwhelmed!

“Which batch is this?”

Walking in the wounded camp, seeing cart after cart of bloody wounded and even corpses being sent here, MacArthur’s face was quite unsightly!

The entire wounded camp looked like a purgatory on earth. In addition to the glaring blood red, the groans and wails of the wounded also made him���I feel extremely depressed!

“This is the seventh batch. In the morning, the Southern Army launched an attack on us before dawn. Several places on the front line were lost. In order to recapture this place, we had to deploy heavy troops to counterattack. As a result, we suffered huge losses under the interception of German artillery and machine guns!”

“Humph, who is in charge of the frontline? He has suffered so many losses, but he has not learned any lessons and let the Southern Army launch a surprise attack. Such a person is simply taking human lives lightly. He should be sent to a military court!”

MacArthur was in a bad mood, so he immediately showed signs of exploding after hearing about this incident.

“They were a little careless, but it’s not all their fault. The Southern Army has been very active recently. They often carry out targeted attacks like this. Each time they send out a small number of troops, they try to launch some tentative attacks to spy on the defenders. Once they find a flaw, they will immediately send more troops to launch a focused attack on the local area.”

“To be honest, such tactics are really not easy to guard against. Although we have repeatedly ordered the soldiers on the front line to be alert and concentrate on guarding against the enemy’s sneak attack, the battle line is so long now. From Jackson to Tallahash, the long battle line of more than 800 kilometers is full of soldiers from both sides. It is extremely difficult for us to be on guard at every position!”

The deputy general beside saw that MacArthur was angry, so he hurried out to persuade him.

At this time, the morale of the US military was not as high as before, so they could not do anything that would damage morale at this time.

Although the general of the position that was raided by the German army today was indeed guilty, this kind of thing existed throughout the army. No one is a saint, and no one can guarantee that they will not make mistakes.

If others are sent to court like this every time, I am afraid that morale will be affected even more!

“Should we blame ourselves for being careless and underestimating the enemy? We originally thought that once we got there, Florida could be easily taken, but who knew that the Southern Army would become more and more courageous.

We started out as rookies on the battlefield, with little experience but a lot of enthusiasm, but now we have all become veterans, and we are extremely capable in combat and have flexible tactics.

The power comparison between the enemy and us can be said to have been reversed.

I am afraid it will be difficult for us to continue to advance southward!

”

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the sergeant on the side quickly stated the current difficulties. The staff department had no better solution for this problem, so they could only hand it over to MacArthur and let him make the decision himself!

MacArthur was in a dilemma, and he naturally did not want to stop the war.

At present, the main force of the German army is still in Texas. They finally got such an opportunity. If they cannot take down Florida in one go, once the main force of the German army comes back, they will not be able to snatch the remaining land from the German army!

So MacArthur They were eager to advance southward and quickly drive the Southern Army into the sea!

However, this seemed unlikely at the moment!

The Southern Army had too many troops.

When the battle broke out, the Southern Army had only about one million troops.

However, as the battle went on, the U.

S.

military discovered that the Southern Army’s strength began to increase significantly.

Those militiamen who originally held weapons and received military training quickly joined the army after emergency mobilization, effectively supplementing the Southern Army’s troops!

Moreover, it seemed that overnight, a large number of Germans appeared in the Southern Army.

Military officers, most of these German officers are veterans, serving as company commanders and battalion commanders in the Southern Army, which is basically equivalent to middle and lower-level officers!

Their appearance quickly improved the combat strength of the Southern Army and brought a large number of German combat tactics to the Southern Army!

Although from the quality of the soldiers, there is still a big gap between the Southern Army and the regular German Army, but with these German officers supporting the skeleton of the Southern Army, the combat effectiveness of the Southern Army is considerable!

The result of the increased strength of the Southern Army is that it is difficult for the US military to continue to advance. Originally, they could rely on weapons and equipment, tactics and soldiers’ combat qualities to defeat the Southern Army.

But now this trick is no longer effective. The Southern Army can not only block their attack, but also begin to try to take the initiative to attack them.

As a result, the good days of the US military’s triumphant advance came to an end, and the battle between the two sides began to turn into a tug-of-war and a war of attrition. The two sides fought fiercely on the long front, and a large number of casualties occurred every moment!

And with the rapid rise in casualties, the field hospital behind the US military was a bit insufficient!

“We must expand the wounded camp, otherwise we won’t be able to treat our wounded!”

MacArthur didn’t want to continue the previous topic, so he changed the subject and returned to the wounded camp.

The deputy general and the staff looked at each other, with helplessness in each other’s eyes.

But since MacArthur himself didn’t want to talk, there was nothing they could do. They couldn’t make the decision for MacArthur, right?

“Well, this problem does need to be solved!”

“Also, tell them to be careful when transporting the wounded, and not to transport the bodies of the dead soldiers. So many bodies are piled up here, what a shame!”

MacArthur stopped. In front of him, a large open space was filled with bodies. Some staff were checking the belongings of the fallen soldiers to determine their identities, and registering them, making records so that they could create files later.
