"Yo Xi! Get ten rockets and hide them in the tunnel!"
"Don't let other squadrons see it! We can also destroy American tanks from a long distance!"
"This is our decisive weapon! We can hold on for a week! Long live the Empire! Long live the Empire!"
The squadron leader stood in the tunnel and shouted loudly, and more than a dozen soldiers immediately ran away deep into the tunnel. Only the heavy artillery soldiers had 150mm rockets in their hands. They had to talk carefully to get some ammunition.
The battlefield was filled with fireworks and stray bullets were shot here and there.
Fang Tianlang returned to the lane next to the Supreme Command Center and looked out with a telescope.
In the past two days, the U.S. military and allied forces could only advance an average of one hundred meters per day, which is extremely slow. A large number of tanks had no chance to exert their powerful firepower before being blown up by rockets one after another.
The individual anti-tank capability of the Okinawa defenders is at least one order of magnitude higher than that of the Iwo Jima defenders.
A two-person anti-tank team equipped with three rockets and a self-defense rifle can destroy a Sherman tank. This firepower is enough to offset the continuous reinforcements of armored forces.
Although the Japanese commander did not have many armored units to mobilize, he did not care.
The opponent does have a huge number of main battle tanks and modified tanks, but most of them will be easily smashed, leaving no advantage at all.
"Yeah! I destroyed four tanks in such a short time. This speed is very good! I am getting more and more skilled!"
"The United States is about to place an order again! Without 2,000 vehicles, there is no advantage here!"
"Advisor! Advisor!"
"Hi!"
"Convey the order and order the ministries to capture as many prisoners of war as possible. We need prisoners of war in exchange for ammunition and supplies to be transported from the mainland. The more the better. We only have more than two hundred prisoners of war left, so we must use them sparingly!"
"Hi!"
The Okinawa defenders actively captured American prisoners of war.
The U.S. military and allied forces finally deployed all their reserves under tremendous pressure. Reinforcements will arrive in two days. It is really annoying that the two landing areas have not been combined into one for seven days since the war started again.
¡¡¡¡
A dense landing fleet once again appeared on the sea.
Ito Zhengichi decisively ordered the two destroyers to remove their camouflage and attack the sea with all their strength.
The soldiers on the destroyers "Asaka" and "First Frost" started their engines while removing their camouflage and pointed their deep muzzles at the rows of landing ships in the distance.
There is no need to aim too hard at dense targets, just fire the shells as quickly as possible.
First use the main gun and torpedo to attack and then the side of the hull. The main gun also has the opportunity to join the ground and the sea attack. How many ammunition to launch ammunition in ten minutes does not need to be reserved.
The US military¡¯s destroyer aircraft responsible for covering the landing and the torpedo attack aircraft patrolling in the air will never leave too much time for attack.
U.S. military commanders clearly know that there are warships and various suicide boats hidden in the complex harbor, and they must always pay attention to it, otherwise tragic battle losses will occur.
"These two ships have to say goodbye, and only the 'Kasumi' and the legendary 'Yukikaze' are left."
Fang Tianlang watched the two warships leave the shore and attack the landing area.
Even if you can¡¯t collect Japanese warships in Okinawa, you still have the opportunity to try your luck in the Japanese mainland.
When the Japanese army surrendered in World War II, there were still some ships and various types of submarines left in the mainland. If you find an opportunity to visit various port areas, you won't come back empty-handed.
Any ship has the opportunity to show its strength in unknown battles in the future. If you have the opportunity to get it, you will naturally get as many as you can.
"Takeshita-san, how about sending back a group of American prisoners of war?"
"I just received a telegram from the mainland. Three thousand more large-caliber rockets have been produced. It is a huge force to transport them."
Ushijima Mitsuru walked up to Fang Tianlang and asked, holding his chin.
"Hmm, there are still enough prisoners of war now, but remember, you can't let the pilots leave. It's worth exchanging fifty ordinary infantrymen for a transport ship."
Fang Tianlang nodded, US military prisoners of war are very precious resources, almost equivalent to the oil needed by the army and navy.
"Okay! Send a report to the US military now!"
"Well! Tell the frontier! Try to capture prisoners of war! If you capture a prisoner of war, you will be immediately rewarded with a box of cans!"
"Alright, haha!"
Ushijima Mitsuru turned around and left, and the entire combat command roomThere was a light atmosphere.
Fang Tianlang walked around in a circle and wrote down various numbers before returning to his room to rest. The shelling of the two destroyers outside was still continuing, but there was no need to pay attention.
The observation post will collect battle reports and dozens of small speedboats will rescue the soldiers who jumped to escape. They have launched many raids and killing operations, and the soldiers have complete control over the follow-up process.
An hour later, the battle report was reported to the highest command center.
The destroyers "Asaka" and "First Frost" fired sixteen torpedoes and more than 500 shells in twenty minutes.
A total of one large landing ship, one fire support boat, and more than thirty small landing craft were sunk by the U.S. military. In addition, no less than one hundred explosions were carried out on the beach.
At least a thousand U.S. soldiers became the curtain call audience for the farewell performance of the two destroyers.
The Japanese navy almost always performed clumsily in the late Pacific campaign. Only in Okinawa did it regain its face and at least killed more American soldiers than its own casualties.
"After rescuing one hundred and forty-one soldiers, we can form a squadron and continue fighting!"
"Hmm Got it, let everyone rest for at least three days. We have enough troops now, so we don't need too many people to crowd the front."
"Hi!"
Fang Tianlang scratched his head, reached out and crossed out two more names on the small notebook.
There are only two destroyers and five submarines left that can continue to fight. Comparing consumption with the US military will obviously not bring good results, but there is no choice.
By taking advantage of the densest attack by ships during landing, you can kill more targets.
Sinking a landing craft can kill or injure twenty U.S. soldiers, while sinking a tank landing craft can sink at least four tanks in the sea, unable to show their strength.
The army and navy must work together to maximize the damage to U.S. and allied soldiers.
The U.S. and allied forces have an advantage in strength. The Okinawa defenders must gather all their forces to fight against the enemy in order to win one victory after another under difficult conditions.
¡¡¡¡
The U.S. military¡¯s landing operation was intercepted by firepower, but it still completed the transportation of a total of 39,000 soldiers in the two landing areas. At this time, there were only less than 3,000 infantrymen that could be mobilized on the huge fleet.
The nearest reinforcements have already approached about 400 kilometers away. One day later, new soldiers will join the huge fleet and wait for the landing operation to kill all the Okinawa defenders bit by bit.
Okinawa must be taken as soon as possible, otherwise the Japanese mainland will have more time to prepare for battle. Give the Japanese army a few more months to produce tens of thousands of terrible ammunition. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
