    The U.S. military temporarily stopped attacking, and Japanese soldiers everywhere used the quiet time to repair fortifications and collect various weapons and ammunition in areas where there had been fierce exchanges of fire.

    Every bullet must be collected to keep the battle going as long as possible.

    You can use the wounded and prisoners of war to exchange some food and medicine with the US military, but you can only rely on yourself for weapons and ammunition.

    There are ammunition and unexploded bombs discarded by U.S. soldiers everywhere in the vast area, which must be collected. One wounded person plus one unexploded bomb can tear several U.S. soldiers apart.

    "Hmmthat's enough for another week!"

    Fang Tianlang looked at the pile of supplies that had just been delivered and smiled with satisfaction.

    The Supreme Command Center sent a total of 50 bottles of Coke, 20 cartons of cigarettes, 100 boxes of cans, and dozens of packages of biscuits, chocolates, chewing gum, and preserved fruits, enough to keep all the Japanese soldiers in the cave in front of them happy for a long time.

    Originally, the defenders on Iwo Jima could only eat the minimum amount of food every day. They never expected that one day they would be able to eat delicious canned luncheon meat at will. Although ordinary soldiers could only share one box with two or three people at most, it would be better than nothing at all.  Much more.

    "After dinner, I'm going to find some bullets and come back. I want this type of bullet, from the United States."

    Fang Tianlang took out a Garand rifle bullet and threw it to Ichiro Abe. Letting others do a lot of errands can save time for practicing marksmanship. As long as the firefight outside resumes, shooting training can be carried out.

    Good marksmanship must be sustained to avoid deterioration. Two or three hundred of the captured bullets can be used for two days.

    "OK!"

    Ichiro Abe swallowed a big mouthful of lunch meat with a happy expression on his face.

    "Yeah! Good food, everyone. The war will last for a long time. The Yankees must mobilize soldiers or they can only stay where they are."

    Fang Tianlang nodded slightly and pointed at the sacks behind him. You can eat all the food as you like, and you will get some supplies after a while.

    The island of Iwo Jima was completely silent except for the occasional sporadic gunfire.

    The U.S. military suffered continuous heavy losses and had to mobilize soldiers from other theaters to come for support. None of the ended battles for islands in the Pacific Theater were as tragic as Iwo Jima.

    I expected that the battle would end with at most 10,000 casualties. I didn¡¯t expect that 17,000 soldiers were already casualty and still lingering in the fringe area. Paying such a heavy price just to capture the No. 1 Airport. I don¡¯t know what it would take to capture the entire island.  How many more lives will you have to give?

    The silence was finally broken. After the U.S. military licked their wounds, they resumed the attack around four in the afternoon. All the wounded had been transported, and the wreckage of dozens of tanks had been dragged aside and covered with sand to become fortifications.

    Every day, you must continue to attack to give Sulfashima's garrison under tremendous pressure. Take Losulness Island is only a part of the entire Pacific Campaign. There is also a bloody battle in the back of Okinawa.

    ¡°History has been changed! I don¡¯t know how it will evolve in the future!¡±

    "The Americans won't drop the atomic bomb directly here! Don't be afraid! It only takes one second after the detonation for me to get out of the way. The rock formations here are not that fragile!"

    Fang Tianlang finished shooting two hundred bullets and hid in the alleyway to think about the future quietly.

    The U.S. military's atomic bomb will be tested in five or six months, and then it will find a suitable place to drop it on the Japanese mainland. If Iwo Jima continues to hold on and even drives the U.S. military back to the sea, it may become the first to be bombarded by a nuclear bomb.  coordinate point.

    ¡°If we take it one step at a time, it will be a headache to think about what will happen in a few months.¡±

    Fang Tianlang opened his backpack and took out a razor to hang up the beard on his chin. Even though it was not his own body, he had to take good care of it. The years to come were still long, and his body must be healthy to go from war zone to war zone.

    Night covers the earth, and a strong aroma wafts from the cave.

    The white rice cooked from the best rice plus salted fish, stewed dried vegetables and a few boxes of canned luncheon meat whetted everyone's appetite. The US military was still fighting hard five hundred meters away, and the cave in front of them could still hold on for at least five or six years.  Only then do you need to move, and keep a safe distance at all times to avoid being directly bombarded by those sudden large-caliber shells.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    After three days in a row, Fang Tianlang's marksmanship entered a state of spontaneous shooting.

    The U.S. military advanced less than 200 meters in consecutive days of attacks and suffered nearly 2,000 casualties. Although the number of casualties was significantly lower than the previous few days, the cumulative number exceeded 20,000, which is almost equal to the total number of Iwo Jima defenders.

    The situation at Iwo Jima was unexpectedThe unexpected success made the local Japanese army feel unprecedentedly bright about the next guard operation.

    There are not only millions of soldiers on this island but also tens of millions of civilians who can support the battle at any time. As long as soldiers and civilians dare to sacrifice their lives for the emperor, the US military will have to sacrifice at least millions of lives to win, even if it still has to surrender in the end.  But the more intense the resistance, the better conditions can be obtained.

    There is always lingering smoke in the sky.

    Fang Tianlang and his "guard squad" retreated to another cave and continued to maintain a distance of about 500 meters from the US military.

    A total of 400 Japanese soldiers casualties in three days is considered a normal number. From the beginning of the war to this moment, a total of 2,000 Japanese soldiers casualties accounted for only one-tenth of the total force.

    There are still enough ammunition, soldiers and various supplies on Iwo Jima. In theory, it is not a problem to persist for three months.

    ¡°It¡¯s also fun to hit moving targets!¡±

    Fang Tianlang was lying at the entrance of the cave. A piece of gravel rolling down the hillside a hundred meters away was used as a moving target. He fired two shots in five seconds and hit the moving target, which made him one of the top shooters.

    ¡°In ten days, at least 3,000 bullets were fired, um we will try to reach 10,000!¡±

    Fang Tianlang retreated deep into the alleyway, and Ichiro Abe brought a battle report from the Supreme Command Center. Although receiving a battle report every day is meaningless, it does not hinder anything.

    All the tactics that can be taught to the Japanese army have been poured out. As long as the Japanese commanders flexibly use several tactics without making big mistakes, the number of US military casualties can exceed 40,000 or even close to 50,000.

    Fang Tianlang took a few magazines and continued shooting. At the No. 1 Airport in the distance, two Mitsubishi 100 transport planes from Japan stopped on the runway under the close surveillance of US soldiers.

    The Japanese army returned five wounded American soldiers in exchange for two transport planes coming from the mainland, which was considered a reasonable exchange.

    The most needed sake, food and medicine at the front can only be reached through air routes. Both sides of the firefight will leave a little gap for each other. The US military commander naturally hopes to see his wounded return, although the Japanese army can receive a large amount of supplies.

    The Japanese transport plane left the ground far away with more than 20 seriously injured people who were completely unable to fight.

    The entire No. 1 Airport has re-entered a state of high alert.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
