"My Excellency Marshal Yamamoto, commander of the Marine Corps, General Fukuda called, and the first wave of landing troops had seized the landing site on the beach, but the casualties were also very heavy. He hoped to continue to provide artillery support and dispatched aviation to cover them and continue to advance. An officer stood behind Yamamoto and reported loudly.
Yamamoto stared at the sea not far away, and was silent for a while before asking: "How much did the landing forces lose?"
"General Fukuda ’s message said that there were 6,100 soldiers with broken jade ... about 1,500 Americans were killed." The officer apparently felt that this number was too much, and he lowered his head while answering, and his voice became lower and lower. .
Yamamoto smiled bitterly. His landing force suffered heavy losses within three hours. Even under such superior conditions, attacking the tightly stationed islands of the United States would have to pay such a terrible price. This shows that American power is increasing, and The strength of Japanese offensive is weakening.
"Continue the bombardment!" Time did not allow him to think too much. In the gaze of the officers around him, Yamamoto still issued an attack order. He knew that the loss was a bit big, but once the battle was started, it was never allowed to stop. This could not be changed. Yamamoto made it clear that as long as the Japanese offensive was stopped by the Americans, then everything that happened next would be dominated by the Americans rather than the Japanese. This initiative, he had to fight.
"Boom!" With a huge explosion, a Japanese naval shell fell into the deep ground of Kauai. With this huge explosion, the defensive positions of the United States began to collapse. 300 US soldiers were surrounded on the beachhead, while another 1,100 US soldiers were fiercely fighting with Japanese soldiers on the second inland defense line. They retreat irrevocably, because behind them is the core area of Kauai, including hidden but reserve points and hidden tricks.
Ten American m3lee tanks came out of the concealed bunker, this is the last resort for the Americans to fight back. For the Japanese, especially for the Japanese landing troops without heavy weapons, these 10 m3lee tanks, It is definitely a counterattack force that is a headache.
In the hidden woods, American tanks quickly approached the beachhead position. When these tanks appeared in front of the Japanese soldiers, there was no accident. The Japanese landing troops appeared naturally panicked. The total weight of the American tank battle is 27 tons. Because of the task of dealing with German tanks, many American tanks have thickened the front armor, and the weight is close to 29 tons. This is definitely a monster for the Japanese army with only small tanks. Too.
"Boom!" Although the 75mm caliber artillery on the side of the m3lee tank was a bit worse against the German tank, it was definitely enough to attack the Japanese infantry. In a flash, dozens of Japanese soldiers were hit by tank artillery and fell to the ground without knowing it. At the same time, the machine guns on the tank began to roar, and more Japanese soldiers who attacked the trenches and attacked forward could only return to the trenches to avoid the hail bullets.
"Try to get as close to the beach as possible! Drive the Japanese soldiers to the sea!" A tank commander used radio to contact his colleague. By his side, the gunner was filling the 37mm caliber turret artillery with shells because they used this gun just now , Ended up with a Japanese bombing barrel position that kept firing.
When American tanks rushed into the Japanese army and rammed, several Japanese fighter planes patrolling in the sky began to dive down. These planes carried small bombs that attacked the ground. Although the attack accuracy was not good, they won. Timely and powerful. Several planes lost all their bombs, and as a result, they destroyed four American tanks. They had to return without ammunition, leaving the remaining tanks to continue to wreak havoc on their positions.
"You are the proudest warrior of His Majesty the Emperor! For the motherland and the great Majesty the Emperor, we must achieve immediate victory! Even if you die here, your soul will return to the shrine and be worshipped by all Japanese people day and night!" A Japanese officer stood fiercely in front of his soldiers and roared loudly.
In front of him, dozens of Japanese soldiers were wrapped in white cloth on their heads, tearing their military uniforms covered with muddy water and dust. Soon they revealed the white vest inside, and the "thousands of people" wrapped around their stomachs. These Japanese soldiers raised their hands high and shouted the slogan of His Majesty the Emperor Long lived. It seemed that the world was truly invincible at this moment.
Then these people took the explosives pack from the companion behind them and ran towards the American tank that had been driving not far away. They gradually approached the American tanks in the trenches, and then waited for each other to come over, or carefully climbed out of the trenches, using the dead ends of the tanks to approach these huge steel monsters.
This is a trick learned from the Far East Nomenkan and Chinese opponents. The Japanese paid the tuition with blood. From the First World War, Nomenkan knew that his tank was indeed not an opponent of European countries. So the Japanese used the Chinese way to deal with the Japanese tanks to deal with the Soviet tanks, and now they reapply to destroy the American tanks.
The stupid method is sometimes easy to use, especially after giving up your life. The Americans clearly did not expect that the Japanese would send the fearless death squads to blow up their tanks. They were covering each other's shots, but they were still approached by the Japanese death squads and blew up three m3lee tanks. The remaining American tanks were eventually forced to retreat, and the plan to rescue the besieged American soldiers eventually failed.
However, Americans did not give up Kauai. They fought desperately in the remaining area of Kauai. The two sides fought for 36 hours. The gunshots on Kauai were still intensive. The Japanese Navy had to abandon its plan to occupy the entire Hawaiian Islands within three days, and ordered the troops to completely disintegrate Kauai before launching an attack on Oahu.
The battle between the two sides on Kauai has gradually entered a heated situation. The number of the US team is continuously decreasing, while the number of Japanese troops on the coast is gradually increasing. The balance of power began to lean towards the Japanese army, and American soldiers began to be divided and surrounded because of insufficient strength, and the position was also compressed toward the direction of Oahu.
On September 1, 1938, Japan finally killed the last 17 resistance American soldiers on Kauai and completely occupied the island. However, compared with the 2,900 soldiers killed on the island and 900 soldiers surrendered, the Japanese killed 9,700 people on the island, almost destroying a complete Marine Corps division.
Unlike the Philippine Green Bimei team, which defeated in a little battle, and the Allied forces in other places, this time Japanese talents really felt the strong military power of the United States on the homeland defense system. The Americans started to fight for the soil, and the firepower and defense of the defense made the Japanese feel tremendous pressure.
Afterwards, Oahu Japan, which was close at hand, had to postpone the attack due to lack of troops. This time, Yamamoto fifty-six mobilized two Marine Corps divisions to attack the Hawaiian Islands. Counting about 34,000 troops, he lost a quarter on a small cute island. There are many, which makes everyone unexpected.
Eventually, the base camp decided to mobilize two more army divisions to strengthen the expeditionary forces commanded by Yamamoto fifty-six and let him continue to attack Oahu and other islands behind. It also affected the speed of Australia's main attack.
Of course, Japan ’s cessation of attack has left Americans more time to prepare. Unlike Kauai, Oahu is the headquarters of the US Pacific Fleet and an important military base of the US in the Pacific Ocean. The U.S. military strength on Oahu reached a staggering 20,000, four times more than the U.S. military ’s defensive strength on Kauai.
These troops have strong fortifications, and even have the cover and support of the turrets. The artillery on Oahu is much larger than that on Kauai, and the Japanese army will pay a more heavy price if it wants to occupy it. Calculated according to the proportion of losses on Kauai, the Japanese may have to be killed here for 30,000 people in order to occupy this important US military base.
On September 20, 1938, the hot summer of the year was about to pass. In addition to the fiery Balkan Peninsula, the world ’s largest battlefield was not in Europe, but in the calm Pacific Ocean.
On the sea in the far distance of Sydney, Australia, a destroyer with a red black rice flag slowly approached this port city that had faded. The destroyer approached cautiously, and the signal light on the mast struck the international code signal.
"I am a destroyer from the UK, a destroyer from Scotland UK! I hope it can be docked here! We are not malicious! We are not malicious!" Over and over again, this destroyer repeatedly sent such a signal of identity.
In the end, the destroyer docked safely on a pier in Sydney, and a German officer wearing an Iron Cross medal was walked down the ladder. He was followed by a German soldier wearing a British navy uniform and carrying Germany Officer in navy military cap.
"Since the start of the troop withdrawal, you are the first warships to come here." They were received by an Australian Army officer. The Australian Navy has carried their families back to the United States, and most of the people left are Poor guy abandoned. However, the officer was neatly dressed and did not speak nervously: "I am the highest defensive officer here. Do you have any help?"
