"Long live! Takeshita-san!"
Ito walked quickly to Fang Tianlang, hugged him tightly with his hands, and couldn't stop the tears from flowing out.
The Japanese Navy had been hit hard by the US military before and wanted to retaliate, but it was basically hopeless because it was too weak. No one expected that a bloody wound would be inserted into the Pacific Fleet just two hours after the Battle of Okinawa began. .
"Give the order! Just order the submarine to return and seize the beach. Every soldier is precious enough. He can still fight if he picks up a rifle. The navy and army are both soldiers of the empire!"
Fang Tianlang patted Ito Zhengyi on the shoulder, and all the scenes were as expected.
"Give the order! Speed ??up the return!"
"Monitor the US military radio! Send battle reports to the East! We have severely damaged the Pacific Fleet!"
"Order the 25th, 28th, and 29th teams to dispatch "Zhenyang" boats to attack! Destroy the US military landing craft!"
¡¡¡¡
The three submarines on the sea turned around and accelerated their return, and all their torpedoes had been launched.
A submarine without torpedoes has no combat effectiveness at all. Accelerating the impact to give the crew a chance to return to Okinawa is the focus of the next hour.
Japanese submarines accelerated their withdrawal from the war zone.
The U.S. military suppressed the chaos, counted battle losses, and rescued the diving soldiers floating on the sea.
Being attacked at close range by forty-eight 533mm Type 95 torpedoes within ten minutes, the first group of the 51st Task Force lost a total of twenty-three main battleships.
Six battleships, five cruisers, eight destroyers, and four frigates sank to the bottom of the sea, taking away the lives of more than 5,400 soldiers in total. It is unimaginable that the entire Okinawa campaign just started and the U.S. military suffered such horrific losses.
¡¡¡¡
The three Japanese submarines completed the attack and accelerated their return.
In the hidden part of the Kerama Islands, thirty-one suicide speedboats took off their camouflage and started their engines to launch a fatal attack.
The attack targets of all suicide speedboats are not warships with powerful self-defense firepower, but landing craft equipped only with heavy machine guns. Each time a landing craft is destroyed by impact, seven or eight U.S. soldiers will be killed. One soldier is exchanged for destroying one. Landing craft, excellent returns are a picture that Japanese commanders are very willing to see.
"Boom! Boom!"
Explosions exploded on the beach, and huge fireballs shot into the sky.
Thousands of U.S. soldiers screamed in terror but could not prevent the disaster.
The rapidly approaching suicide boat crashed directly into the beach and detonated instantly without giving any time to react. After each explosion, you can see steel fragments and densely packed corpses.
Each suicide boat has 250 kilograms of high explosives, which once detonated is equivalent to a point-to-point hit by a heavy aerial bomb.
There were wailing sounds all over the place, and countless broken corpses were floating in the sea.
The U.S. military¡¯s landing operation on the Kerama Islands was completed with difficulty in blood.
The more than 80 surviving Japanese soldiers on the island only lasted less than ten minutes before being shot dead by American soldiers. No one was happy, and the price paid was far beyond imagination.
The navy and army suffered at least 8,000 casualties in exchange for killing two to three hundred Japanese soldiers. Even the battle for Iwo Jima did not suffer such huge losses in the first two hours.
The U.S. military hurriedly cleared the beach, and groups of soldiers dragged the wounded into the interior.
There are charred craters everywhere in sight, and there are no traces of Japanese soldiers. The bloody scene just now will become a lifelong nightmare for many people.
Only the outermost islands have such terrifying tactics.
¡°If we launch an attack on the main island of Okinawa, we may really lose 10,000 soldiers a day due to strong resistance from the opponent.
¡¡¡¡
The sea breeze blows away the smoke and dust over the Kerama Islands.
For the first time in the Supreme Command Center of the Okinawa garrison, two bottles of sake were opened during battle time and everyone was allowed to drink a small glass.
The clear call issued by the US warship before it sank made every senior commander feel the power of the "God of War". Three submarines ambush less than a hundred meters from the shore to attack and destroy more than 20 main warships. The unparalleled victory was enough to be written into the history of the navy.
"On the first day, kill 10,000 US soldiers first!"
Fang Tianlang reluctantly drank a sip of sake, his excited expression fleeting.
In half an hour at the latest, there will be heavy artillery fire covering the entire Okinawa.? The US military was hit hard on the first day of the war and will definitely retaliate with all its strength. It is not difficult to smash thousands of tons of ammunition at one go.
"Takeshita-san, when is the bombardment going to start?!"
"When the U.S. military's firepower projection is over, let more U.S. soldiers enter the Kerama Islands. Each of our artillery shells must try to kill the opponent and let the transport submarine find an opportunity to replenish ammunition. Remember! Every bullet is abnormal for us. valuable!"
Fang Tianlang picked up the telescope and saw that the fireworks on the sea in the distance had long since disappeared.
The U.S. military¡¯s counterattack will definitely arrive within an hour. Okinawa¡¯s 1,200 square kilometers is 60 times that of Iwo Jima and can withstand more ammunition bombardment.
If the US military uses the same amount of firepower as Iwo Jima to attack, it means that Okinawa only needs to withstand one-sixtieth of the pressure of Iwo Jima per unit area.
US warships began to project firepower, and aerial bombs fell straight from the sky.
The thick smoke rising from all over the island of Okinawa was like countless tiny volcanoes erupting at the same time. All Japanese soldiers, including armed civilians, hid underground and in caves to wait quietly for the critical attack to end.
The thick rock cave can completely withstand the bombardment of various types of ammunition. Since the US military likes to use heavy firepower to vent its anger, it can be used casually without much effect anyway.
"World War II! It was really the last era of artillery!"
Fang Tianlang sat in the chair, and there was a faint explosion in his ears.
The U.S. military's firepower projection will take at least an hour to end, so it is not bad to let the opponent consume some ammunition in a meaningless manner.
"You have a heavy artillery, and I also have a heavy artillery! Let's see who can beat the other!"
A map of the distribution of artillery combat units of the Okinawa defenders was placed in front of him. Fang Tianlang reached out and touched the triangular symbols on the map that represented two Type 90 240mm heavy cannons.
After the US soldiers had completely established a foothold on the Kerama Islands, they immediately launched 240mm anti-explosive grenades to conduct a covering attack.
The Okinawa defenders took great pains to acquire two heavy artillery pieces with a total weight of more than 100 tons and 1,600 artillery shells. Only artillery pieces of this caliber can shoot artillery shells from the main island of Okinawa to surrounding islands.
The ground kept shaking and fireworks rose into the air.
The U.S. military¡¯s air-to-ground firepower quickly turned several airports and most of the surface buildings on Okinawa into fragments.
¡°All Japanese commanders dealt with it calmly without any panic. The U.S. military¡¯s firepower projection could not damage important areas at all and could not even cover every inch of land.
