    "The U.S. military will invest more soldiers and more armored fighting vehicles, and maybe the battle will end at the same time."

    "History shouldn't be changed that easily. So what if Iwo Jima killed and injured tens of thousands more American soldiers? The Yankees were able to gather nearly 10 million soldiers at the end of World War II, and tens of thousands of soldiers was just a fraction"

    Fang Tianlang retreated to the depths of the alley, grabbed a bag of preserved fruits and chewed them slowly.

    It¡¯s hard to say whether the war situation outside will affect the entire world. It may have some impact on local areas, but overall it should still evolve according to the original context.

    The U.S. military is determined to win the Pacific Theater. It cannot pose a fatal threat to the Japanese mainland unless it takes Iwo Jima and Okinawa behind it.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The sound of shooting temporarily subsided, and the US military lost more than a hundred elite paratroopers to capture the entire surface position of Mount Suribachi.

    The Japanese soldiers immediately broke into pieces and emerged from the cave, then projected grenades and rifle bullets outwards. The few remaining artillery pieces were still firing shells desperately, and every reserve ammunition was fired to kill as many American soldiers as possible.

    The Japanese soldiers will persist in fighting until the last moment and will never surrender.

    The number of U.S. soldiers who fell on Mount Suribachi has long exceeded the number of Japanese casualties. It is a battle that has been won before us. We just want to see if we can expand the results.

    The battle on the island continues, and the sea is calm.

    The U.S. Marine Service Group has sent a new batch of supplies and two thousand soldiers. It must transport soldiers to the Iwo Jima theater every day, otherwise it will never be able to stop the "meat grinder".

    The unexpected scenes on Iwo Jima were beyond the judgment of all senior commanders.

    Although I was mentally prepared before the war started, nearly 30,000 soldiers were killed or injured in just eleven days of fighting, and multiple aircraft carriers were severely damaged. It is really shocking.

    After lunch, Fang Tianlang lay down leisurely at the entrance of the cave and watched the battle on Mount Suribachi in the distance.

    It is interesting to shoot more than a dozen bullets, stop to catch your breath, and then watch the Japanese soldiers and American soldiers fight for a while.

    When Japanese soldiers rush out of the cave, they basically throw grenades and explosive packets first and then fire rifle bullets and bayonets. If a few Japanese soldiers are lucky, they can kill more than a dozen American soldiers and leave the ground covered with weapons and equipment.  corpse.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The drizzle is misty and the air becomes fresh.

    The battle for Suribachi Mountain lasted for two days and finally came to an end amidst light raindrops.

    Within two days, a total of 1,700 U.S. soldiers were killed by Japanese soldiers in various parts of the mountain. Another 500 to 600 wounded returned to the ship wailing.

    When U.S. commanders and U.S. soldiers entered Mount Suribachi, they were immediately shocked by the layers of bunkers and fortifications.

    If the Japanese army had more heavy firepower, they would be able to hold on to Mount Suribachi for a longer period of time. In theory, the Japanese defenders at Mount Suribachi would only need to be given another 100 heavy machine guns, 10,000 grenades, and several thousand heavy artillery shells.  The U.S. military would have to sacrifice at least five to six thousand soldiers' lives to achieve the occupation.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Ah! Iwo Jima! Only two-thirds are left!"

    Fang Tianlang was sitting in the alleyway. There was no more gunfire in the direction of Mount Suribachi. The US military had moved its land command center into Mount Suribachi. Next, the US military only needed to launch an attack in one direction.

    "Takeshita-san, the battle report from the command center is that we have killed 34,000 US soldiers. If there are no accidents, we can break through 40,000 in three days."

    Ichiro Abe rushed forward excitedly, holding a piece of paper with numbers written on it in his hand.

    "The hard days are coming, fight hard! I'll go out for a spin! Find some bullets and come back! It's time for us to kill American soldiers in large numbers!"

    Fang Tianlang took the note and looked at it. The difficult days of Iwo Jima had officially begun. The U.S. military mobilized at least 30,000 troops more than the historical number. Even if the early battle losses exceeded imagination, they could still make up for it later.

    The sound of military shoes stepping on gravel could be heard in the alleyway.

    Fang Tianlang went out and walked around and got a Japanese-made saber, a US military field radio and more than two hundred rifle bullets of two types.

    The total number of collected items has increased to forty-six, which is enough to complete four space jumps. You should not be in a hurry to leave at this moment. You can take a look at the evolution of the battle situation. The Japanese defenders of Iwo Jima still have about two-thirds of their combat power and can persist for a long time.  There are a lot of weapons and ammunition that have not been collected and need to be worked on.

    As night fell, the Japanese army began to harass and attack.

    ?¡°According to Fang Tianlang¡¯s suggestion, Japanese soldiers everywhere threw several empty cans in the direction of the US-controlled area every few minutes, making noises, and then silently listened to the US machine gunners firing wildly.

    As long as the US machine gunner fires for more than five seconds, a small-caliber grenade will be shot from the grenade or small-caliber mortar and explode on the machine gun position in the distance.

    A few shells in exchange for killing a machine gunner is a very reasonable reward.

    The total amount of ammunition the Japanese army reserves in the Wonsan area is 70% of the total ammunition on Iwo Jima. Judging from the current level of consumption, it can last at least one to two months.

    The several-kilometer-long confrontation line was filled with gunfire all night long. The Japanese army fired a total of nearly 400 small-caliber artillery shells and hundreds of small-caliber grenades, blowing up more than 30 U.S. machine gun teams and nearly a hundred ordinary soldiers.

    Supreme Commander Kuribayashi Tadamichi strictly prohibited charging at will to consume precious soldiers.

    There are nearly 15,000 soldiers in the Iwo Jima defenders. If each soldier can kill three or four U.S. soldiers, it means that the U.S. military will kill a total of 100,000 soldiers on the small Iwo Jima island.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Ohanother day."

    Fang Tianlang retreated into the alleyway, his breath still filled with the thick smell of gunpowder smoke.

    The U.S. military only advanced less than a hundred meters during the whole day's attack, but left behind countless corpses and a large number of wounded. The Japanese soldiers' stubborn resistance and constant harassment at night made the U.S. military completely exhausted.

    Too many U.S. soldiers suffer from severe sleep deprivation, which directly affects battles during the day. Japanese soldiers have a large number of cans in their hands, allowing their opponents to consume ammunition pointlessly at night.

    A Japanese transport plane landed smoothly at Airport No. 1, escorted by four U.S. fighter jets.

    In exchange for the release of five American prisoners of war, the Japanese army transported three tons of supplies from the mainland and took away 11 seriously wounded people who were completely unable to fight.

    The Japanese commander hopes to maintain the current tacit understanding so that Fang Tianlang or other senior commanders can be safely brought back to the mainland at the last moment or enter Okinawa to continue commanding the battle.

    Commanders who have experienced brutal battles undoubtedly have richer combat experience and can inflict greater trauma on their opponents.

    Night has once again enveloped the land. Some Japanese soldiers harassed the US troops at the confrontation line, while most of the Japanese soldiers slept peacefully in the alleyways, with snoring filling every corner.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
