"I don't know how long we'll be able to hold out without more support." In his telegram to his old superior, Marshall, there was some pessimism.

After the Americans completely lost Japan, the remnants of the 6th and 8th armies of the United States were basically concentrated in the Philippines, while the 10th Army mainly retreated back to Australia.

As the United States continued to mobilize new recruits to replenish it, these group armies also slowly recovered some of their vitality.

In order to eliminate MacArthur's influence, not only Stilwell, the Huaxia expert, presided over the Philippines, but Marshall's assistant McNair also came to the Philippines and luckily escaped the death in Europe.

Although neither of them has the background of Lao Mai, under the strong pressure of Washington, the situation of the Philippine US military has gradually stabilized, and preparations have been made for the counterattack on China.

The Philippine island has slowly gathered 430,000 U.S. troops, including 140,000 navies.

The two newly commissioned Essex-class aircraft carriers are now moored at the port near Manila in the Philippines.

The U.S. Navy has a lot of background, and it is not something that can decline with a typhoon and failure. Even with the interference of the subsequent Huaxia air raids, the American factory quickly commissioned four new Essex-class aircraft carriers.

One was transferred to New Zealand and stayed in New Zealand with the aircraft carrier squadron Randolph to deal with the Australian fleet of the Chinese Navy that was constantly swimming in the Tasman Sea and the Coral Sea.

In addition to the East China Sea, South China Sea, North Sea, and West Sea fleets, as well as the river fleet, the Huaxia Navy also added an Australian detachment, and the strength of one battleship, two aircraft carriers, and heavy cruisers was displayed, so that the US Pacific Navy, which had suffered a great loss in strength, did not dare to be careless.

One is also parked near Guam, and the USS Yorktown Essex aircraft carrier formation, ready to maneuver to support.

The two aircraft carriers stayed near the Philippines along with the USS Franklin, which had retired from Japan, to deal with the crisis of the Chinese Navy from the South China Sea and the U.S. forces near Java Island. What's more, they will be preparing to join the U.S. Navy's plan to raid Taiwan, along with five light aircraft carriers.

In the next half month, 3 aircraft carriers and 6 light aircraft carriers will come to the Philippines, and they will be busy in China to deal with the allied ignition on all sides, and join this sea raid together.

The Americans had long deduced that an attack on land would pose little threat to China, and that it would be better to launch a surprise attack on the richest coastal areas of China at sea. Taiwan is only the first step, followed by the entire Chinese coastline.

But before the actions of the Americans began, the harassment of the Huaxia Navy and Air Force came first.

On the last day of February, first on the route to the Philippines, there was a sharp increase in sneak attacks by Chinese submarines and air power.

Previously, the transport formations of the Americans were still under the escort of American warships, and most of them were able to complete the transport tasks.

If you can lay a nail in the Chinese expansion circle, even if the loss is not small, the Americans will admit it.

But now, the sea wolves and sea eagles of China are attacking everywhere like furious, and in just five days, more than 150,000 tons of gross tonnage have been sunk in the surrounding areas of the Philippines and on various routes to the Philippines alone. Among them, the 10,000-ton Liberty ship of the Americans was sunk 4 ships. Even the escort of light aircraft carriers, 1 dead and wounded.

The sea transport route to the Philippines seems to have been cut off all at once.

The U.S. Navy has a powerful fleet in the Philippines, but it does not dare to act rashly.

In the South China Sea, news of the activities of the Chinese fleet continued to come in, and some warships even forced themselves near some Philippine islands to sink those small-tonnage gunboats and patrol boats, and from time to time they used heavy naval artillery shells to knock a few gaps in the coastal defense line of the Americans.

Although the Americans do not regard the Chinese Navy as too much of a threat, they have to pay attention to the terrifying surprise attack capability of the Chinese people behind a series of actions of the Chinese Navy, and besides, there are still groups of Chinese fighters roaring over the South China Sea.

The Americans already have a consensus on the strength of the Chinese army, and what they have to admit is that the air power of the Chinese is also very strong.

Throughout February, there were no large-scale clashes, but skirmishes between the two sides continued, especially in the air.

In the Philippine Islands, on the shipping lanes from the Caroline Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands to the Philippines, the skies were constantly harassed by Chinese fighters.

The Ustcoins and Okinawa, which the Americans guarded with the remnants of Japan's maritime power, were also in the air.

Chinese fighter planes often flew over Guam and Saipan to provoke American fighter jets that had taken off urgently, and even extended the teasing to the Hawaiian Islands farther away.

Even on the islands of Java and New Great Britain, in the waters off Australia, off New Zealand, and off the Aleutian Islands in the north, there is never a day of peace in the sky.

In order to seize air supremacy, Huaxia and the United States have been fighting in the sky everywhere.

Although there was no big scuffle between hundreds of warplanes, there were countless battles of dozens of planes. And the number of victories of the Americans, however, is pitiful.

Even with piston propeller fighters, the many elite pilots and ace pilots who stood out in Huaxia also impressed the Americans, not to mention the jet planes that often appeared in Huaxia at every turn, so that the American ace pilots could only flee speechlessly.

Those who are not convinced have already been shot down, and if they hesitate a little, they will easily not be able to escape.

It was precisely the disadvantage of this kind of fighter that made the Americans choose passive defense and did not take the initiative to provoke a large-scale air battle in February.

But even then, the losses of the Americans were not small. Although the loss of pilots was only more than 400 because of the thick skin and flesh of US fighters and the tradition of US pilots in seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, the United States lost more than one fighter of all kinds on various fronts in Asia and Australia against China.

Even though the Americans have always insisted that their air power is the most powerful in the world, since February 45, the US side has given each pilot a special warning to "beware of Chinese fighters."

Even at the end of February, when the Huaxia bomber group once again swept up the storm on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, the American pilots who went to intercept it felt more sad in their hearts.

Without the protection of air power, the US Navy also has more apprehension in its heart.

In the South China Sea, the United States has sunk one cruiser and destroyer under the blow of the Chinese air power, and in the face of the sudden attack and harassment launched by the Chinese army, before understanding the intentions of the Chinese, the United States can only conservatively choose to defend the Philippines, the only remaining Asian springboard.

As soon as the Americans chose to shrink out, another fire ignited in their buttocks.

Last time, in order to suppress the riots in the Philippines, even American GIs resorted to more brutal and violent methods. Don't expect much education from these American GIs, the indigenous Filipinos at this time have not even climbed to the status of dogs in the eyes of Americans with serious racial ideas

Kindness easily does not give charity to reptiles like ants. When the repressed irritability of the army bursts forth in mass killing, man's bestiality cannot be suppressed by the skin of Western civilization.

Moreover, there was an army of servants of other nationalities who had taken refuge in the Philippines from all over Southeast Asia.

China's rule on Indochina became more and more secure, constantly squeezing the space for those resistance groups.

Some of the groups that could not survive were either cleaned up and wiped out, or sent to death camps on the Indo-Burmese border, and some of the remaining lucky ones fled to the Philippines to seek refuge and help from the Americans.

When the North Koreans and other servant armies used more exaggerated means to clean up Japanese civilians in Japan, American GIs also used these servant armies, and even directly used the natives of the Filipino to be responsible for the dirty work of cleaning up the indigenous Filipinos.

These servant armies, who are familiar with the customs of the kings and losers in Asia, have worked extremely hard, and their performance has overpowered the hosts behind them.

"The whole Philippines is like being swallowed up in hell, and killing is everywhere!" Even McNair's diary describes it as such.

Although the media on both sides have their own accusations, they are more tacitly agreed not to reveal the deeper truth.

Just as the rape and plunder of the American GIs exposed can only be regarded as a mild way, with the concerted efforts of the American GIs and the servant army and the armed forces of the Philippine spokesman, more than 900,000 Filipino natives have completely disappeared in just half a year, and in the end they can only be a few thin paper records in the historical archives.

Of course, if it weren't for the fanning of the flames by the Chinese agents and spies, or even the direct leadership of the clone spies, the indigenous Filipinos would have fallen to their knees under the boots of the American GIs early, not to mention the casualties of more than 5,000 US troops with the weapons supported by the Chinese army.

Although the riots in the Philippines were soon destroyed by the American team, the seeds of hatred spread more widely, and soon germinated again after the news that China was approaching the Philippines, and the scope was wider.

This time, it is no longer the indigenous Filipinos fighting alone, there are already regular troops of the Chinese army lurking to fight with them.

Countless Filipino and Chinese guerrillas with more Chinese support and even Chinese soldiers as the backbone have appeared in various parts of the Philippines, which has already made the American GIs anxious, and the shadow of the Chinese regular army that appeared out of nowhere has made the Americans even more noisy.
