    ??The sound of explosions exploded again on Iwo Jima, and the intensity of the US military's attack was significantly reduced.

    A large number of engineers carefully searched for underground caves on the occupied land, especially around Airport No. 1, for fear that there would be Japanese soldiers lurking in them.

    The tactics of the Eastern Soldiers may seem simple, but successful implementation can immediately produce a huge lethal effect. Dozens of individual soldiers robbed a transport plane and then destroyed eight aircraft carriers, which really made everyone feel numb.

    The intensity of the US military's attack decreased, and the Japanese army's heavy firepower was finally able to project firepower from inside the cave to the outside.

    The Iwo Jima defenders had hundreds of large-caliber mortars and never had a chance to show off their power. At the beginning of the war, the U.S. military had fighter-bombers carrying aerial bombs flying in the air almost all the time. As long as there were heavy mortars shooting and  About a minute after being locked on the target, several aerial bombs will fall from the sky.

    "Two salvoes!"

    ¡°Bang!¡±

    The smoke cloud expanded rapidly, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers worked together to complete a mortar fire projection.

    " Two Type 97 150mm short mortars fired explosive grenades at the same time to attack the back of a small hill three kilometers away. There must be US soldiers hiding on the reverse slope, although it cannot be 100% confirmed.

    "Shoot again!"

    ¡°Bang!¡±

    The roar started again, and the Japanese soldiers who had completed two volleys quickly dismantled the artillery and retreated into the cave behind them. It was an excellent opportunity to have the opportunity to fire two volleys in succession.

    "Well! Well-trained and fierce in firepower, it is not unreasonable for the little devil to sweep across the battlefield in Asia."

    Fang Tianlang hid two hundred meters away and watched with interest the Japanese soldiers firing mortar shells through a telescope. Diffuse fireworks rose from the back of the hills in the distance, vaguely mixed with the broken limbs of American soldiers.

    "How can I find a way to get the old beauty again!"

    "Use a submarine to withdraw me to the mainland? Does it make sense?! Wellyes, the US military has occupied Japan and the troops are stationed there, and there is a chance to get more US-made equipment, haha"

    Fang Tianlang hid deep in the alley and continued to think about his future.

    The Japanese army's firepower counterattack suddenly hit a small climax, and then actively shrank back, not giving the US military a chance to counterattack.

    In just five minutes, more than 70 large-caliber anti-explosive grenades were fired, killing and injuring more than 200 U.S. soldiers. As long as the Japanese gunners could fire the shells calmly, they could achieve an excellent hit rate. The U.S. soldiers basically had no way to hide underground.  All will be killed by shrapnel and shock waves.

    Smoke and dust enveloped the area controlled by the US military, and medical soldiers ran around injecting tubes of morphine into the injured soldiers.

    Although the Japanese counterattack firepower was short, it was deadly enough. A single shell could explode an absolute kill zone with a diameter of more than 100 meters. All the wounded must be transported back to the fleet as soon as possible or they will die in pain.

    There was smoke on Iwo Jima, and the U.S. fleet on the sea was making adjustments in an orderly manner. The four severely damaged aircraft carriers began to return, while the four completely irreparable aircraft carriers were torpedoed to make big holes and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.

    There is no need to mobilize aircraft carriers from other fleets for support for the time being.

    The space on Iwo Jima is getting smaller and smaller, making air strikes more and more difficult. During World War II, there were no precision-guided bombs. If the distance between the two parties in the firefight was less than 500 meters, accidental bombing would inevitably occur.

    The U.S. soldiers continued to carry out advancing operations under the command of the commander. Most of the U.S. soldiers knew the news of the attack on the fleet. The low mood caused many soldiers to have deformed tactical movements and even a slight feeling of war weariness.

    The U.S. commander realized that the combat effectiveness of the frontline soldiers was significantly reduced, and had no choice but to send the 3rd Marine Division Headquarters, the 9th Marine Regiment, and the 12th Field Artillery Regiment as reserves to the island to join the battle in advance.

    The soldiers with low morale can only regain their confidence by seeing a steady stream of reinforcements. Apart from this, there is no other effective way. The Japanese attack is really terrible. The fleet on the sea is not safe, let alone the combat units on the island.

    Under the cover of tanks, U.S. soldiers launched attacks in three directions.

    The 5th Marine Division attacked Mount Suribachi, the strengthened 3rd Marine Division continued to attack the opposite coastline, while the 4th Marine Division used Airport No. 1 as a starting point to attack Wonsan.

    There was fierce interception fire from three directions, so many combat units could only advance less than ten meters in an hour.

    Crazy Japanese soldiers dared to implement suicide tactics. Sometimes a wounded soldier could kill five or six US soldiers with explosives tied to them. The brave army could sweep everything, but if they encounteredThe beast army could only accept defeat.

    The fierce battle lasted from noon until the earth was dark.

    Fang Tianlang quietly practiced his marksmanship in a safe area without being disturbed by the outside world.

    There are still one to two thousand Garand rifle bullets seized, enough to last a week. The battle for Iwo Jima has only begun for six days. Even if there is no external force to change the course, it will take another month to come to an end.

    "Takeshita-san! The commander wants to know how to let the wounded exert their combat effectiveness. You have mentioned it before, but did not explain it in detail. We now have an absolute advantage. As long as we work harder, we can plunge the US military into hell."

    A combat staff officer from the Supreme Command Center stood respectfully in front of Fang Tianlang, with an expression of admiration on his dark face.

    "Wellhow many wounded are there now? I mean the wounded who can still move their hands flexibly."

    Fang Tianlang thought for a moment and asked steadily.

    "About 200 people, they were shot in the lower limbs but their hands can move, at least one hand can fully move."

    The combat staff officer reported a number, his eyes gradually becoming eager.

    "Each wounded person is given a large-caliber grenade or an unexploded bomb fired by the US military, which is tied to the body and buried in the shallow ground. Each person prepares a hard rock in his hand. When the US soldiers approach, they directly tap the fuse to detonate it.  One wounded person is replaced by five American soldiers, and the wounded are also combat effectiveness.¡±

    ¡°Very good! It¡¯s cruel but very useful! Thank you very much!¡±

    The combat staff gave a military salute, turned around and left quickly.

    During World War II, wounded Japanese soldiers would basically use grenades to carry out suicide attacks at the last moment, but this had little effect in front of U.S. soldiers. The submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles in the hands of U.S. soldiers could quickly fire bullets and kill suicide soldiers within 20 meters in advance.  kill.

    The only tactic to allow the wounded to finally exert their combat effectiveness is to have each wounded person detonate a large-caliber artillery shell to form a huge kill zone. The wounded do not need to run and attack, they just need to wait patiently for the US soldiers to approach, then hold the rocks and knock them hard.  The artillery shell fuse can achieve an effective attack.

    One by one, the wounded Japanese soldiers who voluntarily launched suicide attacks came to the forward position under the cover of night.

    Every soldier regards death as his own and does not care about the impending death. Although an army of beasts is at a disadvantage in terms of strength, it can still inflict enough trauma on powerful opponents.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
