    "It's night again, the most difficult time for Americans."

    Fang Tianlang looked up at the starry sky. Without the island-wide bombing, he could see the shining stars.

    The Okinawa Island in front of us has withstood more firepower than the Okinawa Island in history. I don¡¯t know what it will look like in a few decades.

    "Boom! Boom!"

    Violent explosions began to explode in the distance, and explosion fireballs flickered in and out.

    It is obviously very rare for the US military to conduct naval gunfire in the dark. The US military has always been reluctant to carry out tactical operations at night.

    ¡°Where was it bombarded?!¡±

    "Your Excellency General, the Jinwu area was under shelling!"

    "Jinwu area?!"

    Fang Tianlang walked into the combat command room, and a combat staff officer responded immediately.

    "The U.S. military dares to launch a night battle?! It seems that they are being forced into a hurry, or as long as we fight, we will have the upper hand."

    Fang Tianlang smiled slightly, and several senior commanders also had relaxed expressions.

    "Whether it is a cross-cutting operation or a flanking attack, we all use the same defensive tactics. We can abandon our positions, but we must find opportunities to kill and injure a large number of U.S. soldiers. Heavy firepower! Seize the right moment with heavy firepower and decisively show your strength!"

    "Hi!"

    "Tomorrow morning I can see a battle report that some defensive positions have been lost, but at least two thousand US soldiers must be killed or injured. Let the 107th Division not be too nervous. There will always be a moment when we can counterattack and regain the abandoned positions."

    "Hi!"

    Fang Tianlang said a few words and left immediately. The dozen or so senior commanders in the combat command room were fully able to cope with the sudden night battle launched by the US military. No matter what the outcome was after dawn, they could accept it.

    Explosions resounded throughout the night as the U.S. military landed on the beach and launched assisting attacks from the flanks.

    An infantry brigade of the 107th Division fought fiercely all night, at the cost of 340 soldier casualties, and the 27th Infantry Division of the US Army dropped 1,400 corpses and dozens of tanks of various types on the beach.

    The Japanese army¡¯s battle damage figures were slightly too high but still within the acceptable range.

    Of the 340 soldier casualties, only 215 were killed. If the number of armed civilians is also removed, then the actual number of regular soldiers of the 107th Division was only 142 killed.

    For the 107th Division, which has a total strength of nearly 18,000 soldiers, the death of 140 soldiers in one night is extremely small battle damage, not even 1%.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "The US military expands the landing area, normal tactics."

    "The more soldiers are invested, the greater the number of casualties every day. If the armored fighting vehicles are attacked, Okinawa will be covered with the wreckage of at least two thousand tanks!"

    "When the battle situation becomes more complicated, the American-made tanks we captured can be released and pretended to be US military combat units. Although there are only seven or eight tanks, if you identify the weak points and cut in, you can kill at least five or six hundred soldiers."

    The senior Japanese commander looked at the combat map and saw that the expansion of the war zone was indeed a good opportunity to kill and injure U.S. soldiers. If more defense forces were put into battle, they might be able to kill two to three thousand U.S. soldiers in one hour.

    "When will the Navy go into battle? Our submarines, destroyers and cruisers."

    A naval commander asked cautiously.

    "Today and tomorrow, we can attack at any time. Two destroyers are dispatched at a time. When the US military once again joins the landing force, the camouflage is removed and the direct impact is made. One shell sinks a landing ship. Our goal is to kill more US soldiers.  If one destroyer can sink twenty landing ships, it is a very good record."

    Fang Tianlang confirmed that there were warships and submarines lurking in the hidden areas around Okinawa.

    The sudden appearance of two destroyers with full firepower will definitely cause huge casualties to the landing force within ten minutes.

    Japanese destroyers are equipped with 127mm artillery, large-caliber torpedoes and 25mm anti-aircraft guns. They can sink at least a hundred landing craft or drop dense ammunition on the beach when approaching the landing area.

    "Hey! It will definitely hit the US military hard!"

    The naval commander showed excitement.

    The two destroyers suddenly rushed out from the offshore sea to project ammunition. They may be fired by U.S. naval guns, but they will definitely be able to fire a sufficient amount of ammunition into the landing force before sinking.

    127mm armor-piercing explosive bombs, Type 93 torpedoes, 25mm artillery shells and even anti-submarine bombs, no matter which ammunition has a fatal killing effect on a landing ship with only one layer of iron skin.

      "The brutal battle has really begun now. We may lose two thousand soldiers a day, but the US military's casualties will definitely be more than five times ours. Make good use of every soldier, and armed civilians will gradually improve their combat skills by accompanying the battle."  . And the crew of the destroyer, before the sprint attack, evacuated non-combatants to the shore and joined the army sequence."

    "Hey! Every soldier will fight with his best!"

    Fang Tianlang looked at several senior commanders, and everyone couldn't help but nod. Any soldier, even a naval soldier, who enters an alleyway or tunnel has a chance to kill or injure American soldiers with simple weapons and ammunition.

    The atmosphere in the combat command room is solemn. The war situation is in full swing. From now on, there will be fierce battles every day until the last soldier dies. The US military is still dispatching soldiers from various places. Okinawa may have to face the impact of millions of soldiers.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "There are so many! The industrial manufacturing power of the United States is too strong!"

    "Most of these battleships were manufactured in the past two years!"

    Fang Tianlang turned the telescope, and there were US military ships everywhere on the huge sea.

    Tens of thousands of U.S. soldiers landed ashore to participate in the battle, which brought increasing pressure to the defenders. Sooner or later, the 107th Division would be overwhelmed by the U.S. military with a numerical advantage of five to six times, but it would definitely be able to kill enough targets.

    The fierce exchange of fire lasted from morning to noon.

    U.S. soldiers huddled in trenches and bomb craters using field rations to replenish energy. They advanced less than thirty meters throughout the morning but suffered more than 400 casualties.

    Every once in a while, some soldiers would be transported by landing craft to take away the wounded.

    The resistance strength of the Okinawa defenders is almost the same as that of Iwo Jima, but with the dense spider web-like underground defense system and heavy fire attacks from time to time, it obviously has more terrifying lethality.

    Another wave of eighty landing craft accelerated toward the landing area from ten kilometers away.

    The Japanese commander confirmed that the target was worthy of attack and issued an order for the two destroyers to remove their camouflage and carry out the final blow. The battleships would sink sooner or later. As long as they killed enough targets, the mission would be completed.

    Originally, the Japanese fleet was going to compete with the US fleet at sea.

    ?The stupid tactics did not help Okinawa at all and only allowed thousands of soldiers to sink to the bottom of the sea.

    Only by allowing every piece of heavy equipment to exert as much firepower as possible can every inch of Okinawa become a nightmare for US soldiers.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
