But this is just speculation. The U.S. military is now fighting independently, and the connection between the Oahu headquarters and other islands has gradually become more difficult after the large-scale bombing of communication facilities. Book mi group 2
At this time, the U.S. military already knew about the lack of Zhencheng aviation. They had already partially walked out of the mountains and forests. Several groups of U.S. soldiers had re-stationed in the originally empty Pearl Harbor Naval Base, and the entire Oahu island was once again filled with U.S. military personnel. In the defense zone, the U.S. military had tightly packed key areas on the island, looking like they were fighting to the end.
Lollman and Paul are hiding in the air defense shelter to command and dispatch the US military regiments and battalions. Among them, there is a battalion defending Pearl Harbor.
There are two locations suitable for landing in the southeast and northeast of Oahu, each defended by a regiment of US troops. These two locations, together with the Pearl Harbor naval port, have become an inevitable choice for landing large and medium-sized ships.
Although Pearl Harbor has the fewest defenders, it is also the most difficult landing point to break through, because the port entrance blocked by mines will prevent Zhen** landing ships from entering the port surrounded by mountains on three sides. However, the US military does not know that Zhen** Mine clearing boats from the First Fleet have arrived in the Hawaii area.
The ten mine-clearing boats newly equipped by Zhen** have the ability to detect various mines. They have certain detection methods for floating mines, sinking mines, anchor mines and other mines. The main method is metal object detection. Mines are all Encased in a metal shell, the vibrating advanced mine clearance boat can detect abnormal metal objects within a few hundred meters, including underwater mines.
Once a mine is detected, a detonating device is used to detonate it, or a capture method is used to capture the mine and then be processed. For a simple design of mine that does not have much camouflage ability during this period, the detection effect is very good.
"The Chinese are about to land on the island. The president asked us to resist desperately. Doesn't he care about the lives of the officers and soldiers on the island?" The tall Paul's towering nose flickered under the light. He stood in the center of the command room, staring blankly. Loman, who was stunned, suddenly said something.
Loman was deep in thought. He thought a lot about the Battle of Hawaii. The only hope in his heart was to delay the Zhenjiang in Hawaii for more time and cause greater losses to the Zhenjiang, so as to strengthen the U.S. military. Panama's defense was buying precious time. Suddenly hearing Paul's words, Lohrman turned his head, his golden curly hair particularly conspicuous under the light.
"Of course the higher-ups have their thoughts. We middle- and lower-level officers just accept orders and don't need to think too much." Loman spoke slowly and said in a calm tone.
"The outcome of this battle has been decided. The morale of the officers and soldiers on the island is low. It is not at all like what we reported to the superiors. Everyone is in high spirits and ready to resist tenaciously to the end. I don't think we can hold on for long." Paul sighed softly. After taking a breath, he shook his head and said.
"As the commander of the first division, Colonel Paul, you can't give up easily. At least we officers must set an example. These words are just for talking here. Don't be lu¨¤n outside. Mann didn't blame Paul for what he said. Instead, he said it in a reminding tone.
"I understand that as long as the battle is not over, I still need to encourage the soldiers. Even if I have already given up in my heart, I still have to pretend to be extremely strong on the surface." Paul nodded slightly, with a complicated look in his eyes. Ray of Light responded in a low voice.
The South China Sea Fleet Command Center looked more majestic and brighter than the air defense dong where Lollman and Paul were located. Li Guoqiang invited the commanders of the First Fleet to board the Poseidon, and were discussing further action plans with the officers, focusing on which direction. On the issue of launching an attack.
After the destruction of the Edel Fleet and the victory in the Battle of Kauai, the South China Sea Fleet and the First Fleet now appear to be more relaxed, and there is no longer the original tense atmosphere. The initiative in the war is almost entirely in the hands of the South China Sea Fleet. .
Although Li Guoqiang and First Fleet Commander Wu Haifeng both belong to the rank of fleet commander, Li Guoqiang's military rank is lieutenant general, while Wu Haifeng is major general. It is Li Guoqiang who presides over meetings and directs and coordinates the operations of the two fleets. There are a total of ten mid-level and senior officers in the two fleets. Several people attended the meeting.
The meeting finally made an offensive strategy, and decided to attack the Pearl Harbor base, which the US military considered the most unlikely landing site. If the Pearl Harbor base could be captured, then other areas of Oahu would also be easy to capture. After the Pearl Harbor base, it is almost a flat plain. Once the tanks land, they will gallop across the entire island of Oahu.
After the troops took a short rest, the battle started at 7 a.m. on the 30th. Two advanced 4,000-ton mine clearance ships arrived in the waters near Pearl Harbor. There were also four landing ships and more than 20 destroyers. The fleet size was relatively large. huge?.
The first to launch the attack were the landing point No. 1 in the northeast of Oahu and the landing point No. 2 in the southeast of Oahu. These two landing points were menacing from the beginning, and all the remaining ships of the two fleets were concentrated on them. Near the two sea areas, a posture was made to force a landing.
But in fact, they only sent some tanks and let the marines occupy some small beachhead strongholds. The battle seemed to be stalemate. In fact, the fleet did not attack with all its strength and conserved its strength. Most of the marines were sent to Pearl. waters near the port.
When five destroyers and two mine-clearing boats appeared near the Pearl Harbor waterway, the US military Pearl Harbor base immediately entered a high alert state, but they concluded that the anti-tank warship did not dare to easily enter the waterway because it was about 100 meters wide and They planted two to three hundred mines in a waterway about two hundred meters long.
Warships of this period were most afraid of mine attacks, because they had no good way to deal with mines. The detection method was generally visual, but this method was meaningless for the anchor mines in Pearl Harbor. The anchor mines were all sunk in the Pearl Harbor. A few meters inside the water,
It is invisible to the naked eye, and there is no other way to detect it except to hit it with a boat and explode it.
Of course, this is no problem for vibrating metal detectors. The two mine clearance boats began to sail towards the waterway under the cover of the destroyer.
This move shocked the US military in Pearl Harbor. They seemed to sense that something was wrong. The vibrating force that could often create miracles was by no means comparable to the ordinary weak brigade. Extraordinary advanced weapons often appeared in the air. At the critical moment, he was temporarily exposed and made people exclaim.
This time was no exception. The two mine-clearing boats actually advanced slowly in the waterway. However, the US soldiers did not see the huge explosion they imagined. The warships showed no signs of hitting mines, and no one knew what was on the two warships. What are the sailors doing?
¡°Subsequently, aircraft appeared in the sky and began to assist the two mine-clearing ships in performing their tasks to prevent interference from the US military. The destroyers also stood ready and pointed their guns at the water in Pearl Harbor to prevent the sudden appearance of US military ships from interfering with the mine-clearing ships.
The only firepower of the US military was immediately suppressed, and the mine clearance ship began to move forward slowly. The hundreds of mines cannot be careless and need to be eliminated slowly. The metal detector on the mine-clearing ship frequently sounded the alarm, and the surrounding mines were discovered one by one, and then were gradually detonated and captured, or placed on the shore so that they did not pose a threat to the warship.
About an hour later, the mine clearance ship gradually entered the Pearl Harbor waterway, followed by ten destroyers. After a brief artillery battle, the few small and medium-sized U.S. warships were sunk in the harbor. There was no time to come out.
"What, the Chinese really destroyed all our mines, and what kind of strange equipment did they use?" Lorman had learned about the appearance of the Zhen** warship in Pearl Harbor earlier. He thought it was just for To create pressure on the US military, the other two places were important places where they wanted to land. However, after receiving the news that the Zhen** warship had successfully entered Pearl Harbor, he was no longer clear about Zhen**'s main attack direction.
"The Chinese have adopted a strategy of attacking in three directions. Spreading their forces like this is not conducive to landing operations. They should concentrate their forces to attack one point, so that the probability of success will be higher. I think their commander can think of it, right?" Lorman frowned and wondered in a low voice.
"I think this may be a tactic of the Chinese. They used beach landings in three places, but there is actually only one main direction of attack. The troops in the other two directions are used to contain the US military and assist in operations in one main direction of attack. This is more logical." Paul held his chin with his hand, thought carefully, and then said with understanding.
"Then where do you think the main direction of attack is?" Loman turned around and asked doubtfully. He really couldn't understand the intention of Zhen**.
"It's not clear yet. They have invested a lot of troops in the three areas, but the troops currently on land are less than one regiment in each place. The battle line is also limited to the beach line. They are not in a hurry to advance inland, and Pearl The landing force in the port has just begun the landing operation at this time. It is blocked by our army outside the military port and is still fighting. It is still unclear where their large force will enter Oahu, and our previous intelligence has not Knowing how many Marine Corps soldiers Zhen** has sent, it is impossible to judge how many troops they will devote to the Oahu battle." Paul analyzed slightly attentively.
Lorman nodded slightly. He had not been an officer responsible for commanding battles before, and his command experience was not as abundant as Paul's. He also felt that Paul's opinions were quite pertinent.
"Then do you think they want to carry out a large-scale landing at Pearl Harbor? If so, wouldn't our troop deployment be inappropriate?Accurate enough, should more people be sent to Pearl Harbor? "Lorman thought for a while and then said.
"This is necessary. If the commander agrees, I will immediately send an additional battalion to Pearl Harbor. We will make plans for how many troops are needed later, depending on the situation." Paul suggested.
"Okay, now you have full command. You know how to command the Marine Corps. We were originally only responsible for the navy and did not have much experience in commanding the army. Now I will delegate the power to you. You can mobilize the troops with confidence. There is nothing major. Don't consult me ??when making decisions." In order to save time, Lollman decided to hand over the command to Paul and let him, a senior colonel with an army background, coordinate the troop operations.
The U.S. military quickly dispatched a battalion from the southeast and maneuvered towards Pearl Harbor, and the Zhenzhen landing ship had gradually docked. The U.S. military had completely lost control of the shore. Under the fierce bombardment of artillery, the U.S. military They all retreated to within 500 meters of Pearl Harbor.
Then the tanks drove out from the landing craft of the landing ship one after another, until the number that shocked the US military was that thirty tanks successively boarded the port pier, and then the tanks rushed towards the direction, and what followed was It was the landing infantry.
After a burst of bombardment, the important positions of the US military were turned upside down. There were basically no strongholds that could be relied on to resist. They could only fight head-on with tanks, artillery and infantry.
The infantrymen of Zhen** followed the tanks and gradually attacked forward. The tank guns then appeared in the area that the naval guns could not cover, and violently bombed the US military positions.
Then one of Zhen's regiments landed on the shore one after another, moved forward, and gradually defeated the U.S. troops and retreated to other areas of the island. With the tanks opening the way, Zhen'er was gone after half an hour. Advancing to within ten kilometers of Pearl Harbor, it was close to entering the inner area of ??Oahu.
The ensuing situation has become very obvious, and everyone can see that the main direction of the Zhenzhen attack is at Pearl Harbor. Although the US military has seen it, they do not dare to send all their troops back because there are also two other landing points. Zhen** warships are watching eagerly.
The U.S. military then had to move 80% of its troops back to the foot of a mountain called Baihu Mountain, where the U.S. military's headquarters and headquarters are located.
Most of the U.S. troops are on the east side of Baihu Mountain, and the west side is not far from Pearl Harbor. The Zhencheng Army has begun to attack Baihu Mountain. The tanks have arrived at the foot of the mountain, set up their positions, and launched a fire attack on the U.S. military stronghold in the mountain.
At the same time, a division of troops quickly arrived and began to divide into two groups, preparing to surround Baihu Mountain. A Marine Division also arrived shortly after, preparing to attack the US military on the mountain.
The Sixty-third Marine Division was divided into five regiments and marched towards Baihu Mountain from five directions. On the far right, the second battalion of the Fifth Regiment was leading the charge.
The second battalion has a strength of 500 men and is responsible for the task of attacking the US military headquarters. After aerial reconnaissance and previous ground reconnaissance, Zhenliang has found several hiding places where the US military headquarters may be. It is an air defense bunker built on the mountain. Among them, the air defense bunker where the second battalion is responsible for attacking is most likely the location of the US military headquarters. It has the largest entrance and looks the most regular. It does not look like a temporary building, but a fine one. The air-raid dugout dug out of the heart is the most likely hiding place for Lollman and Paul.
The commander of the second battalion, He Shufeng, was leading his team to fight up the mountain. He Shufeng, who was tall and thin and only twenty-seven years old, looked capable and agile. In a few steps, he ran under a tree trunk in front and hid himself. A round of bullets shot down from the mountain by the US military rang out nearby.
He Shufeng was observing the best mountaineering path with a telescope. The scouts had been sent out for twenty minutes. Their mission was to find out the specific direction and location of the mountaineering road, the location of important US military strongholds and the general distribution of troops.
Looking at a tall peak in front of him, He Shufeng felt that the road into the mountain was not easy to find. There seemed to be at most only one main road leading to the mountain. It was impossible for the US military not to take this into consideration. They would definitely let the road to the mountain pass. The fewer roads on the mountain, the better.
"Damn, the US military has set up its headquarters in such a hellish place. There is no way out." He Shufeng looked at the thorny mountains and overgrown woods in front of him. He felt that things were a bit tricky, so he cursed in a low voice.
"Battal Commander, the men from the reconnaissance company are back." At this time, a soldier a few meters away turned his head and said to He Shufeng.
He Shufeng turned around and saw that several soldiers were coming towards him. Some of them had been discovered by the US military. The US military had opened fire on them. The soldiers jumped left and right like monkeys for a while, and finally Fleeed back to He Shufeng.
"How is it, what's there?"Appear? "He Shufeng said to the panting scout Xiao Zhang.
"Battal Commander, there is only one road leading to the mountain here. The US military has troops distributed in the middle, middle and rear sections of the road. The specific troop strength is unknown. There is probably about a company of troops in each place." Xiao Zhang wiped his hands. Wiping the sweat on his forehead, he said eagerly.
"Can we climb up from other places?" He Shufeng frowned slightly when he heard this. This situation meant that it was easy to defend but difficult to attack. The strength of both sides was equal. Of course, the defender was in an advantage. He felt that the task of the second battalion was very arduous. .
"I found a place that can be climbed about one kilometer away on the left. There is a piece of flat land up there, but there is already about a platoon of US troops guarding it, so it is difficult to climb up." Xiao Zhang continued out of breath. Reporting.
"It's better than nothing. Is it easy to go up with a helicopter?" He Shufeng had not seen the terrain personally and could not make an accurate judgment, so he asked again.
"If the helicopter climbs up, it will be exposed to the firepower of the US military. It is too dangerous to complete the airborne mission. People who climb up by ropes can easily be shot down by the Yankees. In short, it is too difficult to attack. It is better for us to take the main road. ." Xiao Zhang's face became a little calmer and his tone became calmer.
He Shufeng was lost in thought, watching the nearby soldiers shooting at the mountain, but could not see the few American troops emerging. The effect was very bad. He rushed up blindly like this, and he didn't know how many troops he would lose. The strength of his own battalion would be reduced to the end. There probably aren't many left.
After He Shufeng rolled his eyes a few times, his vision suddenly lit up and he whispered: "We will go to the place you just mentioned and climb up through the rope. As long as the US military defenders can be eliminated, the problem will be easy to solve." .¡±
