THE INVASION BEGINS!!

SIEGE OF SUTSUMA

THE INVASION BEGINS!


Washington D.C. The White House


President Eisenhower was sitting at his desk smoking on a cigar when his phone rang.

“Hello?”

“Mr. Prezident, I’m Mao, great Emperor of the Empire of China.” The caller said in a chinese accent.

“I know who you are Mao, what do you want?” Eisenhower said knowing nothing good can come out of this phone call.

“Very well Mr. Prezident, the Empire of China would like you to stop your aggressive actions towards the peaceful nation of Japan and end the war.”

“We already tried giving them peace but they didn’t want it. And cut the crap Mao, your only involved in foreign matters if it can turn a profit for you.”

“Hehe,” chuckled Mao, “ you seem to know me too well Ike. Well if you will not back out of your war you will leave no choice but to face yet another nation in this war of yours. The Chinese will annihilate your armies, Mr. Prezident. We outnumber you 10 to 1, you have no chance of surviving the onslaught of two powerful nations from two different fronts. I give you one more chance Mr. Prezident, give up your war.”

“Mao, you, like many other nations underestimate the resolve of the American soldier. I will NOT let any bullies try to run my country and if you want a war you will have a war, a war you have never seen before! This country is prepared to fight to the last bit of American blood and you, Mao, will regret the day you ever dialed the number of the American Prezident!” Eisenhower said with the vein in his forehead nearly exploding.

“Very well, you will get our declaration of war through the fax, good day to you Mr. Prezident!” Mao said just before he hung up the phone.

President Eisenhower hung up the phone then he picked it back up and called his military advisor.

“Max, hello? Max? I want you to put this country into full mobilization, alert the domestic advisor and work with him. I want every factory, household, and f**kin Mcdonald’s producing something for the war. Cut the gasoline and oil supply to the civilian sector and use it for the military buildup of armor units, mech infantry units, stealth bombers, jet fighters, any damn thing that can be used against the Asian alliance. Understood?” He said rubbing his forehead.

“Yes sir I’ll get with it right now, I’ll also inform the Chiefs of Staff to get their military in good shape.”

“Very good, Max, Very good.” Eisenhower hung up the phone. He sat down and thought to himself.

A 2 front war….Geez if our armies in Japan don’t win, this country will be on the defensive for years.

===================================

Spearhead Corps Encampment 1400 hours(0600 hours until the invasion)


The Encampment was moved further to the edge of the forest, closer to the city, just in case they had to retreat they would have someplace to stay for the night. The 3rd division was on the edge of the forest, deep enough into the forest so no one in the city could see them. Their wave would be first and probably suffer the most casualties(PFC Jamison and Pvt. Kimmons are with the 2nd Infantry Division). All the waves were close together, each wave would move to the edge of the forest when the wave before them ran to attack. Lt. Colonel Barrett was with the 3rd division for the time being, he will be going in with the Armor Divisions, the last wave. They all stood or crouched or sat there as they watched in the distance, artillery shells bombarding the city. Some soldiers were smoking, some were checking their weapons, and others were writing last minute letters to their loved ones saying goodbye just in case they didn’t return from this fight.

“Right now our battleships are bombing the hell out of Sutsuma to soften up their defenses, and the second landing division under Brigadier General Williamson is in position, hopefully the coordinated attack of our two forces will split the enemy defense enough to make it a little more easy than it should be.” Lt. Colonel Barrett said to Major Garcia, they were both standing with the 3rd Division’s infantry soldiers.

“The bombardments should end at 2000 hours, we’ll attack in the night.” Lt. Colonel Barrett said once more.

“Sir, attack in the night?” a nearby buck Sgt. said.

“You heard me, soldier.” Lt. Colonel Barrett replied.

===================================

Battleship Missushi


Admiral Yamamato was in the Headquarters of the Battleship Missushi. He was looking out to sea thinking of what he was going to do when he ran into the American Battleship off the coast of Sutsuma and whether they knew he was coming and if they were worthy adversaries.

Then Captain Jigo entered the room with a piece of paper in his hand.

“Admiral, a message from Kyoto.” He said in Japanese as he handed Admiral Yamamato the piece of paper.

He read it.

“Well, Emperor Tokugawa wants to know of our progress.” He handed the paper back to Captain Jigo.
“Well Captain, tell him we will be in contact with the enemy in a few days, maybe a week, and the Battleship Hiro is a few days behind us.”

“Yes sir.” The Captain ran back to the communications room.

===================================

Spearhead Corps 1955 hours (5 minutes until invasion)


All of the men were ready, none were smoking or writing letters anymore, they were saying their last prayers and kissing their crosses and stars of david and any other religious relic they had. They were all cocked and locked and ready to go.

“Alright men,” Lt. Colonel Barrett said loudly so most of the men of the Corps could hear him, “we are about to take the first major step of this war. You all performed brilliantly at the beachhead a few days ago. You have my highest respects. You all have my faith, and my confidence…I am very proud to have served with all of you, and I pray I will continue to serve with all of you after tonight,” He said looking at his troops. “You boys look at the man next to you, and you help one another survive and we will come out of this alive and victorious.” Lt. Colonel Barrett then locked his chin guard of his helmet in place and he cocked his rifle. The men felt proud of their commander, he was young but they held him in high regard, they were glad he was here leading them and not General Burnside.

“Ok, Major Garcia, get your men ready, in a few moments I’ll tell you to move out and you move as quickly as possible, I’ll move you during the last barrages of the battleships.” Lt. Colonel Barrett said.

“Yes sir.” Responded Major Garcia.

Then all of a sudden there was an explosion to the left side of the 1st Marine Division. Then, small arms fire erupted. The Spearhead Corps was being attacked on their left flank.

‘Sh*t’, thought Lt. Colonel Barrett, ‘this can not ruin our whole offensive, I will not let it.’

“Major Patton! Get your division and move them up to the flank, I want you to annihilate them. I want no more trouble from these flanking bastards! If they retreat you chase them down and kill them all!” Lt. Colonel Barrett yelled over the gunfire.

“But sir, this could disrupt our offensive, we should repel the attack, yes, but not split up our forces, wait for my men to get back in position.”

“We don’t have time Major, we will do it without your division for now, now do as I have ordered you to do, NOW!!” Lt. Colonel Barrett yelled back at him.

Major Patton got his division in order and he moved them around the Corps in two different groups. One holding off the enemy frontal assault, and another to attack the flank of the flanking enemy.

“Major Garcia, move your men out now!! GO GO GO!” Lt. Colonel Barrett yelled over the gunfire to Major Garcia.

“Move out, men!” Major Garcia ordered his men. The 3rd Infantry division began to move forward at a fast pace towards the city of Sutsuma. Then as they began moving there was a thunder in the clouds and it began to rain, like it has never rained before. It was pouring ‘cats and dogs’.

===================================

Outer defensive line of Sutsuma, battle begins.

Garcia’s men reached the outer defensive line of the city and made contact with the enemy. They battled it out for about 5 to 10 minutes alone then the 1st Marine division came up behind them. The familiar intense feeling of battle quickly returned to the 3rd infantry division as they fought the outer defensive line of Sutsuma. This new feeling frightened the Marine green troops but they quickly got over it, the necessity of survival quickly overcame their fear.

“Major Smith! Move half your division to reinforce the enemy’s left flank, and send the other half to reinforce the right flank.” Major Garcia told Major Smith. Major Smith didn’t mind being told what to do by an officer of equal rank, he understood Garcia was here longer and would know more about the status of his men. The Marines were sent.

THE BATTLE OF SUTSUMA

....continued

THE SIEGE OF SUTSUMA




Patton’s Front with the enemy.


Their battle was as intense if not more intense then the battle on the outer defensive line. It was a run and shoot battle. The men of the 2nd infantry division were scattered throughout the forest running between trees, jumping over hills, shooting at the enemy as the enemy shot back. Then Major Patton and about 15 of his men were pinned down by an enemy machine gun firing at them from behind this small hill of rock. The bullets kept zinging off the ground around Major Patton and his men. They tried throwing grenade after grenade but it was too difficult to get one into that small spot.

“Those damn sons a bit**es are starting to annoy me!” Major Patton yelled in his shrill raspy voice. He then stood up and ran towards the hole with his .45 in his hand and a grenade in the other. He ran through the storm of bullets and he threw the grenade into the hole, after it exploded he ran into it and shot 8 Japanese soldiers that survived the grenade blast. The men watched in awe and admiration. They got up and quickly ran to their commanding officer. PFC Jamison and Pvt. Kimmons were two of those 15 men.

“Well don’t just stand there soldiers! There are still Japs in these woods! MOVE MOVE MOVE!” He exclaimed as he waved his arm carrying his .45 forward and he jumped out of the foxhole and started running after a group of 20 or so Japanese soldiers running through the forest.

His men followed.

=====================================

Spearhead Corps (edge of forest)


Lt. Colonel Barrett was watching the action through a pair of binoculars. He hoped the absence of Patton’s division wouldn’t greatly upset his plan. So he got ready to send in the 2nd Marine Division that was suppose to go in after Patton.

“Ok, Major Puller,” He called Major Chesty Puller, commander of the 2nd Marine Division, “Move your men out. GO GO GO!”

“Move out men,” Major Puller ordered his men. They began running forward eager to help out their fellow comrades.

“Ok, get ready Major Mckensey, we’re next,” He told the commander of the 2nd Armor Division.

“Major Alexander,” Lt. Colonel Barrett called the commander of the 1st Armor Division, “you will move your men after us when there is a hundred yards in between us, understood?”

“Yes sir.” Major Alexander answered.

=====================================

Outer Defensive Line of Sutsuma


Major Garcia’s men took over the first muddy trench of the line, they began moving forward through the hard rain after the retreating enemy. They halted when they discovered another enemy trench. Their fire wasn’t very effective on the entrenched enemy yet his men were still receiving casualties.

“OK men!” he yelled over the explosions and gunfire, “FIX BAYONETS! We’re charging the trench!”

After about 2 minutes his men as well as the marines had their bayonets ready.

“Alright men!” He held his bayoneted gun up high, “CHARGE!!”

The soldiers and marines all got up and charged forward in one big wave. They all yelled their war cry in unison. They received heavy casualties but they stayed their course. Soldier and Marine, side by side, charged as fast as they could while spraying the enemy with American bullets. They reached the trench and they dove in, yelling their war cry as loudly as they could. They stabbed their enemy with their bayonets, firing into them with their rifles, and beat the Japanese soldiers with the butts of their weapons. The Japanese soldiers were terrified. Within half an hour the mile long trench was in American hands and the two Japanese infantry divisions holding it were totally annihilated.

After the encounter the Japanese forever called the American soldiers and marines ‘Hell’s Fury’ and they called the battle in the trenches ‘The Battle with Hell’s Fury’.

The marine division and the infantry division was badly hurt but after that encounter they had a new sense of hope, they fought with more vigor. They had a spark rekindled within and a great fire burning in their hearts. They were elite…

=====================================

Spearhead Corps (where Lt. Colonel Barrett was)


He kept watching through his binoculars as he sat at the gun turret on top of the lead-armored tank.

“Alright, change of plans. The rest of us will move out together. I don’t want to leave anyone here.” He said letting his binoculars fall to his chest resting on the sling around his neck.

“Move out men!” He yelled over the rain.

The last of the Spearhead Corps move forward as fast as they could towards the city of Sutsuma.

=====================================

Patton’s Front With the Enemy


Patton and his 15 men were running through the forest firing at Japanese soldiers that were all over the place. They quickly killed the 20 enemy troopers they saw after the machine gun encounter, they killed nearly 200 more Japanese men after that. Then they saw 30 soldiers in a clearing ahead and Patton and his cadre of 15 ran at full speed towards the clearing firing their weapons as they dodged low branches and jumped over small hills and dead Japanese soldiers. Their boots splashed in the mud puddles as they charged the 30 enemy troops through the pouring rain. It was dark but they could see the enemy by their flashing guns. PFC Jamison was surprised by how the 30 Japanese soldiers were being ripped apart by his group’s bullets, but then he realized that another group of American soldiers must be firing at them too.

As the last Japanese was shot, Patton and his 15 men ran into the clearing, right at the same time other groups of American soldiers ran into the clearing. They nearly shot each other in surprise. They stood there in silence for a few seconds just staring at each other and the heap of 30 dead Japanese soldiers.

“Well holy sh*t,” Patton said with a surprised expression on his face to his division in the clearing, “I think we just kick the sh*t out of three Japanese infantry divisions!” He said in a loud voice so he could be heard over the hard rain.

“HOOOAHHHH!” responded his division.

“How about we go back and help out our brothers kick the sh*t out of the b*stards in Sutsuma!” Patton yelled. He felt a new rush of adrenaline run through him.

“HOOOOAHHH!!” his division responded in return. Although his troops were very tired they had a new fiery blood boiling in their veins, they were elite soldiers and they knew it.

“Alright men! Follow me!” Patton said waving his arm carrying his newly loaded .45 once again while his division gave another HOOOOAHHH. He ran back into the forest.

His men followed.

Battles in the Streets of Sutsuma

SIEGE OF SUTSUMA


Outer line of the Sutsuma


Major Garcia’s 3rd Infantry division and the 1st Marine division as well as the newly arrived Major Puller’s 2nd Marine division, were already inside the city battling their way in, they were about 20 yards inside the city. There was non-stop explosions and gunfire. The Japanese were putting up one hell of a fight.

“Give me some mortar rounds Sgt., ONE-ONE-ECHO-NINER-ECHO-FOUR-SIX-TWO!” Major Garcia yelled into the radio to the mortar platoon that was hunkered down back at the trenches providing mortar fire. Major Garcia called in the mortar rounds on a well entrenched, sandbagged group of Japanese soldiers that kept Major Garcia and a few of his men from advancing forward.

Two mortar rounds exploded into the buildings to the right of the sandbagged enemy.

“You missed! Try this, ONE-ONE-ECHO-NINER-ECHO-FOUR-SIX-ONE!” Major Garcia yelled back into the radio. A few seconds later two mortar rounds hit directly in the middle of the well defended enemy. They were all killed.

Major Garcia and his men started advancing forward, giving cover fire as they crossed the intersections of the streets.

As they advanced through the streets it seemed the whole world was shooting at them. People from the windows were shooting, from around a street corner a soldier or citizen would shoot pop shots at them. Major Garcia was about to call in a status report when an explosion erupted behind him. When the dust settled he looked back and 20 of his men were killed, including his radio operator. He himself had pieces of shrapnel in his upper back and left arm, he was bleeding but his wound was not fatal. He got up and took a right at the next intersection in search of American soldiers.

================================

The Outskirts of City (Lt. Colonel Barrett, the Armor divisions and the 4th infantry division)


Lt. Colonel Barrett in his lead tank and the wave of Armored tanks and infantry troops scattered around just arrived at the trenches. He saw mortar platoons firing mortar rounds after mortar rounds into the city. His tanks quickly ran over the trenches and the Armored wave began to move into the city. The rain kept pouring from the night sky and the sounds of gunfire could be heard from miles away and the constant explosions shook the earth. Lt. Colonel Barrett’s tank was receiving sniper fire from a nearby building. The sniper already killed two men.

“Major Mckensey, take out that sniper!” He yelled as he pointed toward the building.

“Where is he?” Major Mckensey answered from a tank next to Lt. Colonel Barrett’s.

“The 3rd floor! 3rd window from the left!” Lt. Colonel Barrett answered over the thunder and rain and constant gunfire.

Major Mckensey’s tank’s cannon began to move towards the building. It aimed then it fired. The cannon blast caused an enormous secondary explosion from the snipers room. Debris fell all over the place. There must have been an ammo cache stored there.

The Armored divisions advanced. They ran into an enemy Armor division and the two opposing tank divisions battled it out causing enormous explosions that could be heard from all over the city. It was as if giants were throwing boulders at one another. The Japanese Armor division was seriously damaged, they had only a few tanks left and they retreated. The American 2nd Armor division was destroyed. The 1st Armor division was badly damaged, leaving them with no choice but to stay where they were, defend themselves, and wait until they had more energy to advance. Lt. Colonel Barrett didn’t know of the progress of Major Garcia and his divisions but he could hear them battling it out with the enemy, deep inside the city, and he knew they were in a fierce fight for their lives.

================================

Major Garcia in Sutsuma

Major Garcia was running for about 10 minutes dodging bullet after bullet when he saw a group of American marines ahead. They were huddled behind a white car that had hundreds of bullet holes in it. They were firing at the enemy that was down the street. Major Garcia couldn’t see the enemy because of the darkness, rain, and fog of war. He started running towards them as he waved his arms and hollered that he was American. He got within 15 yards of the Marines when the group of marines exploded into a ball of fire, the force of the blast sent Major Garcia flying 20 yards back. He got up and looked back at the burning car and heap of bodies that used to be marines.

“Sh*t.” He thought to himself.

Then he looked past the burning car and saw 20 Japanese soldiers spot him out and they started running towards him yelling at him in Japanese. They began firing as Major Garcia sprinted across the street into a small alley. He ran as fast as he could, bullets kept zinging off the walls and bouncing of the ground as he ran through the streets of Sutsuma hoping to find an American soldier somewhere.

The Japanese soldiers were catching up to him. A bullet grazed his shoulder but he didn’t care, he just wanted to survive. He ran down this wide street, he didn’t care that he was running right in the middle of the street he just wanted to get away from the chasing Japanese soldiers behind him.

He looked ahead and just saw a wall of fog 50 or 60 yards ahead blocking his view of what lay beyond it. He nearly gave up, but then out of that wall of fog an M1A1 American Tank came into view as it rolled towards Major Garcia.

“Thank God!” Major Garcia thought to himself as he kept running.

Behind that lead tank was 4 other tanks covering the width of the street completely as they rumbled forward. At first, Major Garcia thought it was Lt. Colonel Barrett’s arrival but Major Garcia was actually on the other side of town, the northwestern part of town. He had just met the 2nd landing force.

The Japanese soldiers finally saw the tanks and they stopped dead in their tracks. They turned around and started running away but it was too late. 4 cannon shots blasted them out of existence.

Major Garcia finally stopped running as he stood in front of the lead tank trying to catch his breath. Then the top hatch of the tank opened and a man came out of it. He stood on the tank and looked down at Major Garcia. He was wearing these big sunglasses, and a military cap with the visor very low covering his forehead. He had a Colt .45 pistol holstered to his side.

Major Garcia looked up at him and felt this man’s commanding presence. He also noticed the man wearing sunglasses.

“Sunglasses?” He thought. “ Doesn’t this guy know its nighttime?”

“Who are you, son?” The man said in a southern accent.

“I’m Major Garcia, commander of the 3rd Infantry division of the Spearhead Corps, sir. I got separated from my men, we were getting hit hard. 20 men that were with me were killed I was started to be chased by these Japanese soldiers…and….and….these marines…exploded…..” He said still panting from the long run.

“Well son, you sure are a long ways from home. I’m Colonel Douglas MacArthur, Commander of the 6 Armored divisions of the 2nd Landing force, under Brigadier General Williamson. We have complete control of the northwestern part of Sutsuma, we’re regrouping and getting ready to hit the government building and hopefully connect with the Spearhead Corps by midday tomorrow.” The Colonel said.

Colonel MacArthur then got out of the tank and walked up to Major Garcia. He put his hand on the Major’s shoulder.

“Well come on son, let’s get out of the rain. I’ll bring you to our Command Post.” He guided Major Garcia past the tanks and down the wide abandoned street. There were a few posts with soldiers in it manning machine guns to defend against a Japanese counter-attack. They kept walking and finally Major Garcia was brought to a 3 story building that use to be some sort of clinic or medical facility. Guards stood at the door. The Guards saluted the Colonel as he and Major Garcia entered the building. Officers were all over the place, with maps on the tables as well as pinned on the walls. There was a stockpile of weapons and ammo to the far right wall. The Colonel took Major Garcia upstairs where the medics were treating the wounded.

“I’ll leave you here for now Major, your wounds aren’t that bad, and when you’ve been patched up I’ll put you in command of our only Infantry division, their commander was killed by sniper fire a few hours ago.” Colonel MacArthur then left the room. Major Garcia stood there waiting to be treated by a medic, he was thinking of how his own division was doing back in the southern part of town.

[easthaven]

Do I go into too much detail? or not enough? Are my stories just plain boring?

Any tips, advice, or plain criticism is greatly appreciated!

[civman2000]

it's good as it is!

[easthaven]

Great! Thanks!

[Easthaven I]

I haven't been on these forums since forever, lots of great stories. Anyways, this was my first and only story I have posted here and I realized I never finished it so I would like to finish it if that's ok. I am determined to end this story before I begin any other.

I would appreciate any criticism and tips so I can maybe write a better story in the future.

[ChrisiusMaximus]

No problem mate Ill read it later and give you my two cents worth,but dont let us down we crave fiction here and will do just about anything to get it apart from sell me PC and CIV3 CD that is.

[ChrisiusMaximus]

Well Ive just read the whole God Damn Son Of A *****,
phew it was almost like watching a movie,seriously this is great.You kept asking if you were going into too much detail,well sometimes that can be a bad thing but it does not apply to this.Youve managed to keep the story moving even with the long descriptive text.I actually found it quite exciting and tense you certainly get a thumbs up from me,definitely on a par with the best stories ive read on this forum.My advice if you intend to continue this is keep it as it is dont change the style of writing at all and dont worry if not many people post it has been a little quite lately but theres always plenty of people viewing the storys.

[Easthaven I]

Thanks man! I appreciate the feedback. I'll try and get the story started again soon. I didn't know my story was any good. Thanks for your two cents, much appreciated.

[unscratchedfoot]

I just read your story. Keep it going. The Americans still have a lot of Japanese cities to take-over so there should be more fighting.

The only thing I think you should be careful about is repeating the subject. For example, "the 30 Japanese" was repeated in several sentences in a row so you could have used something different like "the enemy" or "their prey" (meaning the Americans were hunting down the Japanese) etc to mean the same group of Japanese and avoid repeating the same term.

Looking forward to the rest of your story. Yeah!!! Kill them japs!!! What am I saying?

[Easthaven I]

Thanks unscratchedfoot. I realize I did use some words repeatedly. I'll keep the tip in mind as I write.
