    The US military dispatched two military trucks to help the Japanese army transport the six tons of supplies brought by the transport plane a thousand meters away. Five pale-faced US military wounded were carried out of the deep alley.

    A series of indifferent eyes stared at the American military card and quickly left.

    Japanese soldiers are quite friendly to American prisoners of war. After all, prisoners of war or wounded can be exchanged for various supplies or the landing of transport planes. The need to capture American prisoners of war as much as possible in every battle has been deeply ingrained in the minds of every Japanese soldier.

    "Aha! This is the best sake! We were given ten bottles!"

    There were shouts of joy in the cave.

    When the Supreme Command Center sent Fang Tianlang a new military uniform and command knife, it also sent ten bottles of sake, thirty kilograms of fine dried fish and twenty boxes of cans.

    "Well, this is the importance of prisoners of war. The US military attaches great importance to soldiers, and they can afford this exchange."

    Fang Tianlang opened a bottle of Coke. Although sake is delicious, alcohol will distort tactical movements. On a cruel battlefield where you need to face life and death at any time, it is best to use less alcohol.

    "Drink one bottle a day, these are yours, don't get drunk."

    The Japanese soldiers took out their lunch boxes one after another, and a bottle of sake quickly entered everyone's stomach.

    ¡°It¡¯s such a comfortable life! When I first came here, I had to dig fortifications every day. It was so exhausting!¡±

    "Oshima-kun! Don't mention those days again! We are very happy now! It's worth it even if we die in the final battle!"

    The Japanese soldiers chatted excitedly. Fang Tianlang continued to practice marksmanship with dozens of bullets in the sunset light outside. Shooting training must be carried out in different environments to become an all-round top shooter.

    The sound of shooting was intermittent, night fell completely, and it was another day without wind and waves. Wearing a heavy officer's military uniform and sleeping in a military blanket can resist the moisture erosion in the lane.

    The Japanese army held on to Iwo Jima, and the US military desperately mobilized its troops.

    In the past three days, a total of two hundred "Sherman" tanks of various types have gathered on the sea near Iwo Jima from all directions, ready to use landing ships to land on the beach.

    The US military is already determined to win Iwo Jima, otherwise it will be a huge shadow to the entire Pacific theater. There is no doubt that Okinawa will continue to improve its defense tactics based on the evolution of the battle situation on Iwo Jima.

    The sea is calm, with gentle waves rising and falling.

    After three days of strong reinforcements, the U.S. military decided to release all 200 "Sherman" tanks at once. The connection between Wonsan and Mount Suribachi must be cut off within a day or two, otherwise the entire battle to seize the island will never be completed.

    Landing craft one after another faced the sea breeze and launched an attack towards the beach. There was no interception firepower and they were advancing completely smoothly. The beach landing site seized by the US military in ten days was about 4,500 meters wide and ranging from 800 meters to three kilometers in depth.  Let the subsequent landing troops safely land on the beach.

    The U.S. tanks boarded the beach and began to assemble. The defenders on Suribachi Mountain discovered that the U.S. Army had thrown a large number of armored troops and immediately concentrated their firepower to cover the area. There was no need for precise aiming, as long as the shells were projected according to the predetermined firing range.  Capable of killing U.S. armored forces.

    Raindrops of artillery shells fell from Suribachi Mountain, and explosions exploded in all directions.

    The Mount Suribachi Independent Defense Force is composed of the 312th Battalion and the 10th Rapid-Fire Artillery Battalion. It has dozens of large-caliber artillery, and all of them have escaped previous firepower projections from the US military. An intensive salvo for ten minutes can destroy at least 300 large-caliber artillery pieces.  When the artillery shells are projected at the designated location, it is impossible to estimate how many US military tanks and soldiers can be destroyed. All we can do is wait for the US military's messages to be deciphered.

    The U.S. armored forces charged at full speed toward the west coast of Iwo Jima in the face of fierce incoming firepower. Only at this moment did the U.S. commanders truly feel how much heavy firepower the Japanese troops had lurked. The continuous firepower projections in the previous ten days had destroyed at most ten percent of the Japanese troops.  The first level of firepower can only scratch the surface.

    The U.S. military¡¯s naval gunfire was frantically dropping shells on Mount Suribachi, from the largest caliber 406mm naval gun to the 203mm naval gun to the 127mm naval gun, all with full firepower.

    In theory, if you project one more artillery shell, you have the chance to directly hit a Japanese artillery position and blow up the shooters and artillery inside. The Japanese army dug out dense bunkers in Suribachi Mountain to resist artillery fire.

    The fierce fighting started at noon and did not subside until midnight.

    At the cost of the destruction of 140 tanks and the casualties of 3,900 soldiers, the U.S. military finally transformed Iwo Jima into two and completely cut off the connection between Suribachi and Motoyama. Paying the price in exchange for the victory will naturally increase.  senseamong.

    The U.S. military suffered huge battle losses, and the Japanese defenders at Mount Suribachi also paid a heavy price.

    With a total of more than 300 casualties, the total strength of Mount Suribachi dropped below 2,000 for the first time.

    Fortunately, changes in history allowed Colonel Atsuchi Kanehiko, the captain of the Mount Suribachi Independent Guards, who was originally directly bombarded by U.S. artillery, to continue commanding soldiers in combat without suffering any blows.

    As long as the commander can effectively command an army with soldiers and a certain amount of ammunition, it can continue to kill the opponent until the last moment.

    Night falls, and the earth becomes dark.

    Japanese soldiers were resting in alleys and caves, but American soldiers could not get any cover.

    The Japanese commander ordered the artillery combat unit to use mortars to project some artillery shells into the US-controlled area every few minutes. It is best to hit the target, but even if it fails to hit, it will prevent the US soldiers from sleeping peacefully. The harassment tactic may not necessarily destroy many targets.  But soft kill is sometimes more terrifying.

    "Boom!"

    An 81 mm caliber mortar shell exploded, hitting three U.S. soldiers with sharp shrapnel.

    Life passed by in an instant with no hope of rescue. What the medical soldiers who rushed in saw were corpses spurting out blood. The Japanese army fired shells at will and no one knew how to avoid them.

    Throughout the night, about a hundred artillery shells of various calibers exploded in the US-controlled area.

    More than fifty U.S. soldiers will never have the chance to see the dawn sun rise from the sea level, and dozens of wounded will be transported back to the ship.

    The Japanese army still had a lot of ammunition stored before the war, plus some captured ammunition, enough to fight for several more months. The US military could only continue to increase its troops and use the flesh and blood of soldiers to complete the occupation of the entire island.

    There were bright lights scattered on the sea, and the US military transported more than a dozen armored bulldozers to the beach in the morning.

    All the craters will be filled up, and there are caves everywhere. Japanese soldiers are like loaches spinning around in the caves.

    The best way to attack is to completely block the entire hole to get rid of it once and for all.

    If you enter hundreds of caves to clear them, you will definitely be killed by firepower hidden in the dark. Although the US Fifth Amphibious Corps has enough troops, it is not willing to lose too much on a small island of 20 square kilometers.  Many soldiers.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
