Remember [??] in one second, to provide you with wonderful novel reading.
In the original historical time and space, the Japanese Kamikaze suicide attack mostly only served as a psychological deterrent to the Allied forces. In fact, compared with the price paid, the tactical value of the Japanese Kamikaze special attack aircraft was very limited. In the Battle of Wright Bay and Okinawa, more than 2,000 Japanese suicide planes took off, but there were only more than 40 Allied warships sunk. This level of exchange can only be said to be worth the loss, only because Japan has been unable to train qualified The "expedient measures" adopted by the pilot.
In fact, if you think about it, you know the root cause of this: few aircraft can directly hit the waterline of the battleship like a torpedo. Even if the pilot successfully approaches the battleship, he can only hit the deck and superstructure of these battleships. .
However, these places are also important parts of battleship protection. In some places, the armor is even prepared for 380 mm caliber shells. Obviously, these Kamikaze aircraft, which are relatively slower and have less charge, cannot penetrate the armor of these parts and cause a fatal blow to the battleship. Therefore, what Japan calls for "one machine for one ship" is simply a joke of self-entertainment.
Another reason is that most of the pilots of these planes are simply trained dead crew members. They can be said to have been mentally mad, and it is impossible to take any effective response after the enemy can fly to the destination. It has been regarded as super-level play. It is a bit too difficult for the novice pilots and the US fighter force to fight dogs. Too. Therefore, after initially causing a certain loss to the US military, these aircraft will be shot down by a skilled American pilot halfway down the road.
But Yagi still completed his plan. He piloted his own plane and came to the supply ship of the US landing force. I do n’t know if Yagi ’s luck was too good, or it should be said that the Americans ’luck was really bad. This plane just hit a ship carrying arms, so the huge explosion helped Yagi complete the final attack. An American transport ship burst into flames and instantly sank in the turbulent sea water.
In the US landing fleet, 4 warships were injured and 1 munitions ship was sunk. This news suddenly made the US Navy, who was originally about to easily defeat the Japanese, wake up from its arrogant state. Large-scale aircraft were dispatched to attack the Japanese-controlled islands to be landed, and stricter air vigilance was implemented.
The landing plan will not be cancelled because of such a small twist and turns, so the US Navy still started the island's strategy operation according to the original combat plan. When the US Navy ’s warships spread out on the sea level, standing on the top of the mountain and looking at everything with Major Telescope Major General Ishida, I realized how pale the preparations of his troops were in front of the giant American. Powerless.
He had ordered the troops to dig trenches for several days, but these trenches and fortifications were as small as an ant den in front of the US Navy fleet he saw. He lowered the telescope in his hand, and then aimed his gaze at the dozen or so insignificant trenches next to the beach.
"Boom!" There was a roar of distant cannons firing from the horizon. Those distant US warships did not enter the range of Japanese 70mm and 105mm cannons. [ㄨ] The firepower carefully prepared by Ishida was placed in front of the US cruiser ’s 203-mm caliber main gun and the massive 155-mm caliber artillery. There was no room for it.
Hundreds of artillery shells swept through the Japanese army's position on the seashore in an instant. These large-caliber shells were never seen by these Japanese recruits. To know that the Japanese Army was once hit by the Soviet Union's 122mm caliber artillery to find teeth in Nomenkan, you can imagine what kind of state of mind the Japanese defenders appeared in the trenches.
"Baga Yalu!" Ishida suddenly had an urge to kill. He wanted to find an opportunity to go back to the base camp, and then he asked the guys who tried their best to hide the news of the defeat on the front line and asked: "Which group are you? of?"
With the concealed news of the defeat being concealed, there is also a specific analysis and description of the powerful strength of the US Navy. According to the requirements mentioned in the Japanese Army's combat manual, Ishida built his position to resist landing on a more dangerous position along the coast. However, in the face of such overwhelming artillery, he could not think of any reason to prove that those who were baptized by artillery can survive.
It can be said that in the face of the superior naval artillery fire coverage of the US Navy, his battle was lost before the battle started, and his soldiers had collapsed before they saw the enemy they should have seen. Ishida pressed the command knife with one hand and squeezed out his order from the teeth: "Telegram directly to the base camp! Tell them to conceal the American navy's strength, that is to cause trouble to those who are defending ... ... speak as politely as possible, use honorific words. "
In the end, reason still defeated his urge to scold, looking at the defensive positions that had been shrouded by a thick smoke, he knew his defense was completely over. Now all he can do is pray. Pray that the US Marines can land quickly, and let him retain some strength to consume the lives of some American soldiers.
It is a pity that the Americans obviously did not intend to speed up their landing. The destroyers and the large-caliber naval guns on the cruisers seemed to be free of money, and the artillery shells were poured onto the Japanese position. One explosion after another set off a black smoke. The whole island seemed to tremble, all trembling because of this round of shelling.
"The enemy has at least 5 cruisers, more than 10 destroyers and light cruisers ... The bombardment was very violent, and the head of the Akino brigade just called, saying that his army had killed more than 200 soldiers." The chief of staff stood in Major General Ishida Behind him, holding a message in his hand, he reported: "Two artillery pieces of the independent anti-tank brigade have also been destroyed."
Major General Ishida did not expect the two 37-mm caliber cannons to actually destroy both the US Marines ’tanks on the beach. He was more willing to believe that the anti-tank mines he planted would be effective. But his mines were also finished with these artillery pieces, and they were lifted by the U.S. Navy shells to nowhere.
The shelling began at 10 am on the day and continued until Major Ishida's numbness even gave up the order of giving up the second-line position. Then the overwhelming number of American troop carriers began to gather towards the beach, the landing craft was put down, and leaned heavily against the coastline.
"Finally ... it started." Rear Admiral Ishida felt sweat on his palm of his command knife. He didn't know whether it was good or bad for the Americans to attack now, because he really couldn't be sure of his first and second line positions. , How much resistance is there.
Just a few minutes after the shelling began, the headquarters of the Akino Brigade was still in contact, but after a round of shelling an hour later, the phone could no longer be reached, the radio could not be reached, and Ishida ’s headquarters had been lost. In order to grasp the situation of the first line of defense.
Seeing that the landing ships began to unload their soldiers, groups of American soldiers had staggered in knee-length water, and when the nearest American troops were only tens of meters away from his first line of defense, He finally heard the sparse gunshots bursting from the defense line.
Some grenades were thrown out and exploded, causing small splashes on the beach. Compared with the massive bombardment by the United States just now, these Japanese counterattacks are like a joke, but these gunshots and explosions still make Ishida's heart slightly wider, because his first line of defense is still, His fortifications can also play a role.
Taro Takemoto yelled in his trenches, looking for a familiar foot everywhere, his comrade, the comrade who complained to him with him, and the foot of the comrade who had just carried the wood just flew with the cannonball, the other side moaned and prayed He recovered his feet. He bent down and looked around in the trench that had been torn down by the shells, hoping to find the missing foot.
Occasionally a soldier passed by him, screamed that the American was coming with a weapon, and ran in another direction. Taro Takemoto didn't care about it. He just bowed his head to find his companion's feet. But soon he stopped, because he saw his captain and the bodies of several officers lying in an open machine gun position.
It was at this time that he realized that he should leave here quickly. After all, the supreme chief of hundreds of soldiers in this trench was dead, and a big man who commanded more than 1,000 officers and soldiers with high spirits on weekdays was left at this moment. The lower half of the body lay in the cold trench.
Taro Takemoto quickly ran back, ignoring the trenches passing by, and soldiers were desperately firing in the direction of the beach. Some of them threw prepared grenades, some kept pulling the bolt to try to fill the ammunition faster, and occasionally heard the sound of machine guns in the distance.
This battle is not quite the same as Taro Takemoto originally imagined. It is not that the two sides fired face-to-face, and they were dominated by the advantage. On the contrary, he has not seen an American until now, and he was frustrated by American artillery. He jumped over a corpse lying in the trench, and ran to the traffic trench with a helmet on his back. It was dug by himself, and he was familiar with the terrain there--
