Chapter 309 Oil Depot Explosion

"Our embassy has been occupied by the islanders. Commander Yokota has ordered us to rescue our embassy immediately." On the streets of Tokyo, outside the island's Defense Agency, Major General Kobe received another order.

Rescue the embassy! The nearest rescuer is the First Cavalry Division! Lieutenant General Paul notified the White House immediately and issued an order to the First Cavalry Division.

Rescue the embassy? Major General Kobe looked at everything around him. At this time, whether they could evacuate safely had become a big problem. Rescue the embassy? The First Cavalry Division did not have the ability to do so now!

Just as the First Cavalry Division was advancing towards the Defense Agency and preparing to take control of it, the senior officials of the Defense Agency who received the news finally became restless. The First Division in the suburbs was mobilized into the urban area!

When the Prime Minister ordered the First Division to enter the city to suppress the people's riot, the First Division chose to play dumb and follow orders. Now, after learning about the Americans' atrocities, the First Division is full of fighting spirit and dares to bombard its own Prime Minister's Office! The Americans are simply beasts!

After the 1st Division entered the city, it encountered the 1st Cavalry Division outside the Defense Agency. Both sides deployed their battle formations and were ready to fight at any time!

The objective conditions in the city limit the performance of armored forces. The tanks of both sides cannot become a force for rapid assault. It seems more appropriate to use them as fixed fortresses in urban areas.

Once the firefight with the First Division begins, it means that the U.S. military has begun to fight the armed forces of the entire island nation! Damn the islanders, their armed forces were originally established with the help of the United States, and now they are actually fighting against the Americans!

Major General Kobe was extremely depressed. Under the current circumstances, he did not want to escalate the dispute and bombard the Prime Minister's Office just to establish his authority. As for the Defense Agency, they originally planned to just occupy it.

But now, the change in the situation has far exceeded Major General Kobe's expectations, and bad news has come one after another.

The tank's fuel is running out!

The M1 gas turbine tank was extremely fuel-hungry! The 1,900-liter tank had already been completely depleted by the movement back and forth in downtown Tokyo!

The supply vehicles in the rear could not catch up at this time! Behind the First Cavalry Division were countless island citizens. Many of them participated in the fight against the US military. Although they did not have guns, many of them began to make their own grenades, which were effective weapons against tanks.

Not to mention rescuing the people in the embassy, ​​even how our own troops can escape safely is a big problem!

Yokota, headquarters of U.S. forces in Japan.

"What?" Lieutenant General Paul listened to the report with great frustration. Even Lieutenant General Paul could not bear this sudden change in the situation. Now, he heard another bad news!

"Now, the 1st Cavalry Division has been operating in the city of Tokyo for more than six hours. Most of the fuel has been exhausted. They urgently need us to provide fuel, otherwise, the 1st Cavalry Division will lose its combat capability. In another two hours, it will be dark. Major General Kobe believes that the situation will worsen after dark. The mobs in Tokyo may cause the 1st Cavalry Division to suffer greater losses, not to mention the rebellion of the 1st Division." The news in the staff report was very depressing.

"Where is our convoy? Why don't we deliver the fuel?" asked Lieutenant General Paul.

"We have organized two fuel transportation missions, but we were attacked just after leaving Yokota Air Base. The convoy suffered heavy losses. Without a battalion-level force escort, our convoy cannot complete the fuel transportation mission."

As soon as they went out, they encountered an RPG attack. The vehicles in the convoy turned into burning torches one by one. This scene completely chilled the hearts of the Americans.

"Boom!" At this moment, suddenly, a huge roar came from outside, and the whole ground was shaking slightly. Then, a sharp alarm sounded.

"Wow!" Under the huge shock wave, the glass in the office was shattered one by one. Lieutenant General Paul nimbly crawled under the desk and avoided being hit by the flying glass. Next to him, the staff officer who had just reported to him was lying on the ground and began to twitch. A piece of broken glass just pierced the aorta under his neck. Blood spurted out and splashed onto the glass next to him. He wanted to cover the wound with his hand, but he had no chance.

There was no hope. Before the ambulance could arrive, this subordinate would go into shock and die from excessive blood loss. Even Lieutenant General Paul standing by could not save him.

Lieutenant General Paul stood up and looked out the window. The billowing smoke and the flames dozens of meters high were something he would never forget.

Damn, the fuel depot at the base was set on fire! It must have been done by the Japanese!

Yokota Air Base, the largest military base of the US military on the island nation, stores a large amount of fuel! And now, all this fuel will turn into ashes in the blazing fire.

The air waves were quite hot, and a chain explosion could occur at any time. Looking at the scene outside, Lieutenant General Paul, with a pale face, had already vaguely guessed in his heart that the US garrison in the island country might really be coming to an end!

Like any other US military base, there are also a large number of island country personnel here. Some of the dirty and tiring work in the base are assigned to the island country personnel, and the people who set fire to the oil depot must be island country people!

The billowing black smoke formed a huge mushroom cloud in the sky. It was as if a nuclear explosion had occurred here. The entire base began to become extremely hot, and the ammunition depot not far away was in danger of exploding at any time.

In addition to the firefighters, a large number of people were evacuating, especially the planes on the runway and in the hangar, which were taking off one after another. The explosion just now destroyed more than a dozen planes! The remaining ones were also in danger and had to be transferred and flew away quickly!

Lieutenant General Paul had already rushed out of the office and stood in the open space, looking at all this, his heart extinguished.

"General, please take off with our C-130 and head to Okinawa." said an adjutant beside Lieutenant General Paul.

Most of these transport planes that took off were flying to Okinawa, where the US military has a more powerful military base!

It is obvious that Yokota, and even the military bases on the entire island nation of Honshu, are no longer safe!

Lieutenant General Paul smiled bitterly. If he left like this, would he ever be able to come back?

"Alert! Soviet fighter planes have appeared over Tokyo!" At this moment, another piece of bad news came: "Soviet armored groups have appeared near Tokyo!"
