More than 10,000 armed civilians are digging tunnels everywhere, while more soldiers continue to expand space inside the mountain.
It will take a long time for the US fleet to arrive. All the time spent on the construction of fortifications will definitely allow more soldiers to be effectively protected.
"Your Excellency General, I just received the telegram that an infantry brigade of the 148th Division and an infantry brigade of the 124th Division of the Kwantung Army will arrive in two hours!"
"I got it! It's important to keep the message flowing!"
Fang Tianlang crossed his hands in front of his chest with satisfaction. The average speed of reaching five or six thousand soldiers per day is considered excellent. Once the number of soldiers reaches a certain limit, it depends on the ammunition reserve.
A soldier with one hundred bullets and three hundred bullets will definitely have different impact effects.
If you can add ten more grenades or an individual rocket to an individual soldier, you can even directly defeat an infantry squad of the US military.
¡¡¡¡
The Japanese army in Okinawa accelerated preparations for war.
The U.S. Pacific Fleet has also slowly moved to the sea about 500 kilometers northeast of Taiwan.
Halsey, the new commander of the US military, cautiously requested that at least three more escort aircraft carriers and 10,000 soldiers be added before launching an attack on the Japanese troops on Taiwan Island.
Although reports have been received that the Ninth Division is evacuating at full speed, the Japanese army still has a considerable number of fighter jets stationed at airports across Taiwan. At this time, waiting for a few more days may be enough to wait until the Japanese army withdraws the fighter planes together.
The Fifth Fleet of the Pacific Fleet became the Third Fleet due to the change of commander.
Within a week, Halsey, who had waited for three escort aircraft carriers, decisively issued an order to approach Taiwan and launch an attack to seize the island.
It will take about three days for the entire fleet to move from its current position to the waters off Taiwan. Many commanders hope that the Japanese Ninth Division can evacuate every soldier in the last few days.
The shadow of Iwo Jima is still in the minds of many people.
As an island with an area of ??more than 30,000 square kilometers, Taiwan is more than a thousand times larger than Iwo Jima. Naturally, the fewer regular Japanese troops left, the better. Otherwise, we don¡¯t know how many soldiers will have to die in order to capture it.
The huge US military fleet is slowly moving towards Taiwan.
All soldiers of the Japanese Ninth Division had left a day ago and took away all the ammunition and supplies they could.
Dozens of fighter planes launched a suicide attack on the US fleet under the cover of darkness, hoping to buy another two or three days for a cargo ship loaded with rice and 600 garrison soldiers to reach Okinawa safely.
Taiwan is destined to fall after a few days of fighting. An undefendable war zone is not worth wasting any resources.
Explosions sounded on the sea.
Intense anti-aircraft firepower swept across the Japanese fighter planes, and balls of fire fell to the sea. A US military escort destroyer was directly hit by an incoming suicide plane, causing casualties.
The Japanese army launched a suicide attack that indeed slowed down the advancement of the US fleet.
Taiwan will be baptized by war in two or three days and then become a land free from Japanese control.
¡¡¡¡
Three days later.
"The U.S. military has begun to attack Taiwan, and it is expected that it can only hold on for two days."
Fang Tianlang smiled slightly after reading the battle report. The U.S. military landing in Taiwan would kill many Taiwanese soldiers who were willing to sacrifice their lives for Japan, which would reduce a lot of trouble for post-war governance.
Two or three days of fighting can wipe out at least five or six thousand soldiers, and then there will be long-term peace.
"The Ninth Division has withdrawn a total of 23,000 soldiers, and there are also 1,900 Taiwanese garrison soldiers, which is very good! Killing and wounding US soldiers in Okinawa is a different feeling than killing US soldiers in Taiwan!"
Fang Tianlang was sitting at the command table. The sum of several war briefings was the total number of reinforcements that had arrived in ten days.
? 25,000 soldiers were obtained from Taiwan, 1,400 soldiers from the mainland, and 32,000 soldiers from the mainland.
The arrival of a total of 58,000 soldiers has turned the originally empty central area of ??Okinawa into an extremely difficult line of defense. In the next twenty days, there will be a steady stream of reinforcements, and according to the plan, there will be at least four to five more. This division must become the backbone of Okinawa.
"Your Majesty General, the multiple rocket launchers you requested have been delivered!"
¡°Oh?! That¡¯s great! Go check it out!¡±
Fang Tianlang put on his military uniform and walked out of the room, arriving half an hour later.?Airport.
Thirty sets of Type 5 150mm multiple rocket launchers are lined up on the tarmac.
Each set of twenty launch tubes of the Type 5 multiple rocket launcher can fire twenty 150mm large-caliber rockets in half a minute. It is an extremely powerful weapon system and is equivalent to the Japanese version of the "Katyusha".
Historically, the Japanese army developed the Type 5 multiple rocket launcher and did not use it in actual combat. It was a surrender.
¡°Neither the US troops who attacked Iwo Jima nor the US troops who attacked Okinawa have ever experienced how terrifying it is to be suppressed by dozens of large-caliber rockets at once.
"Imagine this! There are five hundred U.S. soldiers in front of you ready to launch an attack, and then you just press the launch button, and dozens of rockets will flatten everything within a 100,000 square meter area at once. No need to shoot! Just press the button!"
Fang Tianlang circled the multiple rocket launcher several times and kept saying.
"Rockets! The next step is to speed up the production of rockets! Once a batch is made, send a batch over!"
"At least 10,000! If one rocket can kill two US soldiers, then that's 20,000 US soldiers!"
"In addition, we will develop some single-tube launchers. In some dangerous terrains, where the entire set of launchers cannot be transported, we use single-tube launchers to launch them one by one. The attack effect is also very good! It is equivalent to a super-large-caliber rocket launcher!"
"Hi!"
The two low-ranking commanders saluted Fang Tianlang respectfully.
No one has ever seen the power of multiple rocket launchers on the battlefield. The major general commander said that it can kill 20,000 US soldiers.
"Artillery! Artillery shells! The foundation of defensive operations! Powerful firepower overwhelms everything!"
"The ability to kill and injure half a million U.S. soldiers in Okinawa depends on these two things! Heavy artillery! Every heavy artillery that can be found must be transported here! Come on!"
Fang Tianlang waved vigorously, and dozens of soldiers immediately loaded all Type 5 multiple rocket launchers into trucks and transported them to various locations.
Several small black spots in the sky are gradually approaching. It should be another batch of transport planes transporting strategic materials from the mainland. At this moment, Okinawa has only been transporting soldiers and ammunition for ten days, but it has already doubled its overall combat effectiveness.
If the US military launches an attack with the same firepower as in history, it will inevitably suffer unprecedented heavy losses.
If a hundred super-large-caliber rockets fall on a beach full of landing soldiers in one minute, it means that at least three to four hundred broken corpses will appear.
Historically, the Japanese army was severely hit by the US military in Okinawa only because of insufficient troops and lack of ammunition. Reversing these two unfavorable conditions will immediately completely change the passive situation. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
