Taro Takemoto ran desperately to the trenches behind him. At the same time, the American landing troops had already leapt into the trenches that had been destroyed by giant artillery on the Japanese first line of defense. The warships on the distant sea were greeting the Japanese second line of defense with giant cannons. One large-caliber artillery shell whistled past these U.S. Marines, inspiring everyone's morale.
More than a dozen naval fighters swooped down from the sky, pointed their heavy machine guns at Japanese targets on the ground, and the intensive bullet rain was scattered on the Japanese positions. The Japanese defense forces that were already desperate already felt this moment. They can only rely on their instincts and instincts to chase them in the direction they think is safe.
These poor soldiers did n’t understand how powerful a country they had provoked until now, and they now understand that their flesh and blood and the spirit of loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor, there is no way to resist the enemy ’s shells and tanks. .
A U.S. Marine Corps tank track rolled up gravel on the beach. Along with another Sherman tank that was pulled from the landing craft next to it, it slowly rolled towards the Japanese position. Behind these two tanks were teams of American soldiers armed with weapons, and there was not much resistance left in front of them, so it was not difficult for them to move forward.
Several consecutive landing operations have allowed the US Marines soldiers to accumulate rich combat experience. They are good at using their firepower and heavy equipment to target the Japanese. This unreasonable style of play allows the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side. Some helpless. They lacked the means of targeting the United States with such a wealth of money. At least the Japanese armored forces rarely appeared on the island to challenge the American Sherman tank that had crushed their performance.
Although the Sherman tank of the United States proved to be completely incapable of countering the panther and tiger tanks equipped by the German armored forces in the Middle East theater, it was even more unable to fight the newer King Tiger tank of Germany. But this medium-sized American tank spawned by the dominance of the superior German armored forces can completely crush its Japanese opponent without suspense.
After these tanks landed on the island, they could cause huge casualties to the Japanese army. Many Japanese soldiers were ordered to carry anti-tank mines to blow up these steel monsters, but this close-playing play is not actually an American tank. The cars are afraid.
The good coordination of the steps makes it very easy for the United States to fight the Japanese close combat tactics, and the intensive artillery has really suppressed Japan's few counterattacks.
Taro Takemoto finally climbed from the first-line position over the blockade and suppression of American artillery. The gray-faced face brought the news that the first-line position was broken to the same gray-faced second-line position defender. He had n’t waited for him to sigh. Once again patronized his side, because the second line of defense was the core defensive position of the Japanese army, so the construction quality and complexity of the fortifications were better, so the American artillery fire felt here was not as violent as it was just now.
The main reason is that the artillery of the US Navy is being rehabilitated in preparation for the next fierce attack. Most of the fire now is 152mm caliber artillery on the destroyer. Such an attack allows the Japanese to tolerate. Although the entire second-line position looks very tragic, it has not suffered much fatal damage.
This state is a situation that looks terrible, but in fact there is nothing to lose. Most of the Japanese defense lines here are reinforced with wood and also supported by many stone structures. Theoretically designed to cope with the suppression of American large-caliber artillery However, after seeing the tragedy on the first line of defense, everyone will have no idea whether their line of defense is capable of resisting the other's artillery fire.
The US fleet now has shortboards on the aircraft carrier, and the number of other ships has exceeded the total number of fleets used by the Germans when they landed in Britain. In this case, attacking a small island guarded by the Japanese army can be said to be killing chickens with a cattle knife.
After entering the first trench of the Japanese army, the American soldiers did not rush to advance inland quickly. This is also a lesson learned from countless failures. The Japanese army likes to counterattack immediately after losing their positions and use a short assault to come Recapture positions and effectively kill US troops. So Americans have become more cautious, and they have more time, so they are not afraid of waiting. As long as the beachhead position is in their hands, then there will be more and more troops on their side, and the Japanese will have less and less opportunities.
Major General Ishida looked at the frontal battlefield that had temporarily ceased to be in his headquarters, but reluctantly put his reserve team into the second-tier defensive position. He dare not lose this position, because behind this line of defense, there is not much preparation for the third line of defense. Compared with the previous two lines of defense, this third line of defense has not completed much.
So there is not much time left for him. As long as the second line of defense is breached by the US forces, his troops will be divided and surrounded, and the core position of the entire island will be fully occupied by the US Marines. Including field hospitals, and ports on the island.
"Let the soldiers from the first line of defense go to the port, and then blow up these port docks. We can't leave anything to the Americans." With his hands behind him, Major General Ishida finally issued a command to blow up the docks. Nothing here can be left to the U.S. military, otherwise the entire Pacific war situation will be even worse.
When Taro Takemoto received the order to blow up the pier, the US Marines were still strengthening the defense line. The other party did not rush to launch a new round of attack. It seemed a bit scared by the Japanese counterattack. So after gaining some supplementary power, the second line of defense of the Japanese army at least looks very strong.
Taro Takemoto followed a group of muddy Japanese soldiers to retreat to the pier. They had to replace the elite Japanese troops defending the pier and bombed there to arm on the spot. The reason for not blowing up the pier now is mainly because Ishida also dreamed that he could get some supplementary materials from the submarine there.
Listening to the sound of rumbling artillery sounding again behind him, Taro Takemoto felt that he was a very lucky person. He finally escaped from the American gunfire and was sent to the rear away from the battlefield by a life-saving order. This is good news for him, a very reassuring news.
He followed his troops in the jungle with his arms on his back, walking step by step along a slippery path. On a fork in the road, he saw two officers cutting down the road signs, probably not to stay for the Americans to use.
Taro Takemoto, who is familiar with the terrain, has walked this road countless times. He knows that the field hospital is not far in front. There are at least 500 seriously injured people who were thrown on the island before they could evacuate. Screeners have been transported away during the previous evacuations, and here are only a few nurses who volunteered to take care of the poor wounded.
When the field hospital's tent appeared in front of Takemoto Taro, he saw a horrible picture. The open space here was covered with dead soldiers and many people were covered with bandages. Obviously these soldiers were all It's an injury in the hospital.
A dozen wounded soldiers with bandages on their heads are wiping the slender samurai swords in their hands. Their eyes have become fierce, and they make people look horrified. The whole camp was filled with breath. Several soldiers with bandages on their hands looked at Taro Takemoto and the soldiers who had retreated from the front line with him.
"Baga Yalu! In order to save food, we have killed all the wounded who can't stand up! How are you so willing to give up the retreat?" A wounded officer with blood on his face limped to Takemoto Taro Waiting in front of others, shouted loudly: "You should be loyal to the Great Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor! You should be on the front line when your position is lost!"
Takero Takamoto looked at the wounded who had been hacked to death on the hospital bed, and the dead bodies who knelt in the stomach with their bayonets and knelt to the ground, all over and over were covered with a thick disgusting feeling. He didn't know how to justify himself, but in theory he really belonged to the kind of defeated person.
"We are soldiers ordered to change defenses, not escaped!" A leading officer stood in front of the wounded officer with a command knife, and defended his soldiers: "If you don't believe it, you can go in person Ask Chief Ishida! "
"Is there an officer ordering his soldiers to retreat? Ishida is a shameless coward!" The wounded officer snorted coldly, and then pointed to the wounded who could barely move behind him, his facial muscles twitched a little: "I will take everyone to support the front line! We will not be careful and steal lives! We will use our lives to defend the Great Japanese Empire!"
"His Majesty ... Long live!" Several soldiers with minor injuries shouted behind their chiefs. They were the most fanatical militarists. They were downright willing to dedicate all the samurai for the expansion of the Japanese Empire.
Unfortunately, Taro Takemoto didn't want to follow these idiots to return to the frontal battlefield. After all, he was more willing to go to the chosen rear and perform the simple and safe task of blowing up the dock. But this does not mean that other people think the same. Several soldiers with their heads down stayed with the wounded. They would go back to kill the Americans and be faithful to His Majesty the Emperor.
"Stupid!" Taro Takemoto sneered in his heart, and left the field hospital with his troops.
I came home late today, but I promised everyone what I agreed, so Long Ling is desperately trying to code words and I will give you three more chapters!
