    "Give the order! Load the shells!"

    Fang Tianlang made a gesture, and a commander picked up the phone to connect to the artillery combat unit.

    There is a Type 90 240mm heavy cannon in the north and south of Okinawa, which can suddenly display violent power. Although it takes a minute after the shooting to make the next projection, it is definitely enough to kill American soldiers who have nowhere to hide.

    Historically, the Okinawa defenders did not have such large-caliber artillery, and could only watch as the US military established small bases on the Kerama Islands to provide emergency repairs for warships.

    Sufficient preparation will definitely change the situation of the battle. The Okinawa defenders created a dazzling record in the first battle two hours ago.

    "Ammunition loading completed!"

    "Follow the predetermined coordinates! Shoot!"

    The Japanese commander decisively issued an order, and a 240mm anti-explosive grenade was immediately shot out of the muzzle.

    Using smoke cover to launch artillery can prevent US fire observers from effectively discovering the firing position of the artillery. The Japanese artillery does not need to fire continuously. It only takes a few accurately exploded artillery shells to destroy the US military that has just entered the shore from the sea.  The soldiers once again felt the shocking effects of violent explosions.

    "Boom!"

    A ball of fire exploded on Qingliu Island, and violent airflow mixed with shrapnel and gravel swept across the entire area.

    A dozen U.S. soldiers happened to be near the explosion point and were wrapped in smoke and dust in the blink of an eye, turning into fragmented and charred corpses.

    The US military does not have any fortifications on the island to defend against shrapnel damage. Once it encounters an artillery attack, it will be completely passive. Maybe jumping into the crater can improve the survival rate a little, but it is minimal.

    "It's heavy artillery! Japanese heavy artillery!"

    "Spread out! Spread out! Call for firepower! Knock out the Japanese heavy artillery!"

    The American soldiers ran in all directions desperately.

    Some soldiers even fled directly back to the landing craft in the hope of avoiding the horrific bombardment.

    The power displayed by the Japanese army was truly terrifying. A single shell almost made all the officers and soldiers of the 77th Amphibious Warfare Division feel that the god of death was around them.

    "Boom!"

    Another 240mm anti-explosive grenade was shot out of the smoke and dust in the distance and exploded accurately near the beachhead.

    "The two jeeps folded into a folded state in a thousandth of a second, and several US soldiers were torn into pieces by the powerful force.

    As long as there is a heavy gun that can shoot shells to all four nearby islands that were landed at great cost, it has no use value.

    The Japanese army can fire a few artillery shells at intervals to keep all American soldiers in the shadow of death.

    "Evacuate! Return to the sea!"

    "Damn it! How do you do intelligence work!? The Japanese army has heavy artillery that can hit Okinawa!"

    The U.S. soldiers began to run quickly towards the landing craft. Various ammunition supplies were discarded at will. The speed of running determined whether they would be killed by the next shell.

    Although the Japanese army only had one artillery piece and could not accurately hit every time, no one was willing to risk their lives.

    "Extend shooting twice!"

    Fang Tianlang was sitting in the combat command room. Although the thick smoke and dust blocked his sight and could not see the situation in the distance, at this time it was obvious that he could extend his shooting to attack the landing craft that were accelerating to load the soldiers and leave.

    The huge artillery shells can overturn the landing craft and kill the American soldiers inside without having to hit point-to-point and explode at close range.

    At this moment, the Japanese commander still has the "Yamato" trump card in his hand that has not been used.

    "If the Yamato battleship's terrifying triple-mounted Type 94 45x 460mm naval gun fires a salvo, I don't know how many American soldiers will become molecular.

    Everyone is waiting for Fang Tianlang's order. Without the "God of War" order, no one dares to expose the most powerful destructive force.

    ¡°That¡¯s enough, the U.S. military should not land any more combat operations today.¡±

    "No one is afraid of death, and American soldiers are even more afraid of death. They are a group of cowards!"

    "For shelling, the U.S. military will use an unlimited amount of shells to increase its courage and order the Yamato to prepare for the attack. If the U.S. military uses warships to bombard our heavy artillery emplacements, it will sink all warships."

    Fang Tianlang showed a cheerful expression, and everyone in the command room smiled at the same time. Inflicting devastating damage to the opponent on the first day was definitely a huge boost to morale.

    The U.S. military's artillery bombardment, air strikes, and the recent island landing operation only killed and injured less than 400 combatants, which is totally worth mentioning. The price the U.S. military paid for this was?It can be described as extremely tragic.

    All the smoke has dispersed, and your vision becomes clear.

    The Japanese gunners used thick steel plates to block the firing port of the Type 90 240mm heavy cannon to prevent the shells fired by the US military from entering the cave directly.

    Hiding heavy firepower in a cave is equivalent to having bulletproof armor that will never be destroyed.

    Rocks tens of meters thick can withstand even a direct detonation by an atomic bomb, let alone artillery shells of various calibers.

    As long as the Japanese gunners used multi-layered steel plates to block the firing port after each shooting and then retreated the artillery more than ten meters, they did not have to worry about being destroyed by the opponent's direct fire.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The U.S. military was bombarded by heavy artillery, and Nimitz, the commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet who came to supervise the battle, roared angrily for the first time.

    Pre-war reconnaissance can be said to be useless, but intelligence analysts cannot be entirely blamed. Any large-caliber artillery hidden in a cave cannot be photographed from the air by an aircraft.

    "In just two hours, we lost twenty-three main battleships and five thousand soldiers!"

    "The captured islands are now littered with discarded supplies! The source of all this is just one large-caliber artillery, three submarines and dozens of rubbish-like suicide boats."

    "The Japanese army does not have any powerful weapons and equipment, but the Japanese army's tactical level has improved by at least several levels compared to a few months ago!"

    "Use all your strength to conduct reconnaissance! The Japanese army must have genius commanders directing the battle. There is also Iwo Jima here. The same person may be commanding the two battles!"

    Nimitz could not help but shake his head, looking at the list of sunk battleships on the blackboard with a painful expression.

    "Should naval artillery be used to bombard the Japanese heavy artillery firing position? It should be a cave fortification. Aerial bombs cannot be effective and can only be fired directly by naval artillery."

    A senior commander held the red and blue pencil tightly, making a slight sound between his joints.

    "The Japanese army may have submarines lurking underwater. There is a great danger in gunfire, but this is the only tactic. Don't use too many warships. Two destroyers conduct decoy shooting. The Japanese army counterattacks and immediately concentrates firepower to destroy a heavy gun.  They are all a huge threat to us, and our soldiers must not be killed by artillery shells in vain. Pay attention to anti-submarine warfare, and found that Japanese submarines attack submarines as their first target. Submarines can move, and as long as the gun positions are locked, there will be opportunities to destroy them."

    Nimitz calmed down his anger. As a commander known for his research on submarine warfare, it was the greatest humiliation for his opponent to use a submarine to destroy more than 20 main warships in an instant.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
