The U.S. landing fleet was severely damaged, and all warships and landing craft left the Kerama Islands far away.
Every U.S. commander on the battleship looked horrified, as if they had escaped from hell.
If Fang Tianlang wanted to kill more U.S. soldiers when more than 20,000 soldiers of the 77th Amphibious Division landed on the island just now, he could order the battleship "Yamato" to carry out a long-range attack.
Violent shelling can definitely kill more living targets, but various supplies, weapons and ammunition will also be blown into powder at the same time. It is a good exchange for temporarily killing fewer US soldiers in exchange for collecting hundreds of tons of loot.
"Prepare for air defense operations!"
"Order the transport boat to collect the ammunition and supplies of the US military!"
"The combat order was issued, and the small speedboat that had just returned filled up with fuel and rushed towards Zamami Island, Aka Island, Keiryu Island and Oji Island again.
It¡¯s really exciting to snatch 60 tons of various supplies from US soldiers in just one wave. The battle to defend Okinawa in front of us is going to last for who knows how long. Every bit of supplies is precious enough not to be thrown away in vain.
US military fighter planes began to appear in the hazy sky.
The U.S. military discovered that the battleship "Yamato" was participating in the battle and indeed sent fighter planes to carry out air strikes. As long as a battleship is parked on the shore of Okinawa, no combat unit can carry out landing operations.
The battleship cannon used to kill the landing fleet can definitely kill two to three thousand soldiers in one salvo. You can imagine how terrifying the attack effect will be if nine 460mm anti-explosive grenades are detonated continuously within five seconds.
¡¡¡¡
The air raid siren sounded and the atmosphere became tense again.
? Nearly a thousand anti-aircraft artillery pieces of various calibers by the Okinawa defenders removed their camouflage and exposed their black muzzles to the sky.
"To defend Okinawa, we must have sufficient anti-aircraft firepower. This is what Fang Tianlang has emphasized every day for a month. The defenders of Okinawa originally only had more than 200 anti-aircraft artillery, but this increased to more than 1,400 in just one month.
A huge number of artillery pieces are hidden in deep caves as backup.
Dongjing Base Camp is absolutely determined to fight overseas to prevent the U.S. military from landing. No matter what the Okinawa defenders want, they will fully supply them, including anti-aircraft guns that are also very needed in the country.
At present, the Okinawa air defense force has three types of 120mm anti-aircraft guns, Taisho 14th year type 105mm anti-aircraft guns, Type 99 88mm anti-aircraft guns, Type 88 75mm anti-aircraft guns, Type 4 75mm anti-aircraft guns, and Taisho 11th type 75mm anti-aircraft guns. There are almost everything from small to medium caliber anti-aircraft guns.
No matter whether the US military dispatches high-altitude bombers or lets dive bombers rush in from medium to low altitudes with bombs attached, they will be attacked by intensive firepower.
A single "Yamato" battleship can hold back the U.S. military for at least three or four days.
The U.S. military commander will only launch a landing operation after confirming that the "Yamato" battleship can no longer fire shells. Otherwise, he can only choose a blind spot area that cannot be shot by the terrifying naval gun to launch a landing.
The black spots are gradually approaching.
After forty Curtis SB2C bombers completed their formation, they pounced on the "Yamato" aggressively. The "Yamato" was hiding in the bay and could not use torpedo planes to attack it, so a dive bomber attack was the only means of attack.
Forty fighter planes carrying 120 aerial bombs of two types can make the "Yamato" temporarily lose its combat effectiveness with only one-tenth of the hit rate.
"Boom! Boom!"
The U.S. Army¡¯s Curtis SB2C bomber entered the anti-aircraft fire range of the Okinawa defenders, and dense ammunition came towards them.
The Okinawa defenders¡¯ air defense forces had made tactical arrangements to protect the Yamato a long time ago. The fire net formed by various firepower echelons can even prevent the Yamato¡¯s own air defense firepower from firing.
Dense black smoke clouds exploded above the sky.
The U.S. Army¡¯s Curtis SB2C bombers were shot down one after another before they could reach the attack position.
There are constantly falling wreckage on the sea, causing huge splashes of water and even aerial bombs hitting the sea and detonating directly.
Three minutes of rapid fire by the Okinawa defenders¡¯ air defense forces wiped out forty Curtiss SB2C bombers sent by the US military without even a chance to release a bomb.
"Someone is parachuting! Catch him!"
"We need prisoners of war! Get over here quickly!"
Two parachute flowers appeared in mid-air, and the two small Japanese speedboats changed direction to chase the American parachuting pilot.
The combat command center on the island is already in a state of excitement like a festivalLike coming.
?Winning consecutive victories on the first day of the war is definitely an excellent sign.
¡°If we can inflict such heavy losses on the US military every day in the future, then there will be absolutely no problem in defending Okinawa and the mainland.
¡°Today¡¯s result!¡±
¡°Twenty-eight main warships were sunk¡ about thirty small landing craft¡ forty dive bombers¡ about two thousand landing soldiers were killed and wounded, as well as captured trophies and two prisoners of war¡ not bad!¡±
Fang Tianlang stood in front of the blackboard and wrote down the results obtained on the first day with white chalk.
A dozen senior commanders stood behind, silently looking at the lines of writing and showing uncontrollable smiles.
"Our consumption is very small, torpedoes, 'Zhenyang' attack boats, anti-aircraft artillery shells and less than a hundred regular soldiers"
Lieutenant General Ushijima Mitsuru clenched his fists and looked directly at Fang Tianlang.
The results in front of us are only the results of the first day of fighting, but they are more amazing than the results of many battles in a month.
"The US dive bomber attack has failed. Heavy bombers will definitely be mobilized from surrounding areas to carry out high-altitude bombing tonight, so that the Yamato will be ready to move before dark and move out of the harbor as soon as it gets dark."
"There are also ammunition and supplies on the Kerama Islands. Every bit of them must be brought back. Again, ammunition! Supplies! Even one bullet is important to us."
"We can defeat the US military tactically, but we cannot match the production capacity of the Magnesium country, so we must increase our strength at all times!"
Fang Tianlang didn¡¯t have much joy. Every time he caused heavy damage to the US military, it would arouse a more powerful counterattack.
The powerful military production capacity of Magnesia is far beyond the imagination of the Japanese generals. If some forces from the European theater are mobilized to support Okinawa, they will still be trapped in a bitter battle.
"I will work hard! All the ammunition! Bring them all back!"
Ushijima Manchu regained his composure and responded to Fang Tianlang.
"Send a report to the US military and tell them that we will treat the prisoners of war well and return them to them after a certain number, just like on Iwo Jima. Prisoners of war are exchanged for supplies, which is good for everyone."
"I will arrange!"
"Don't expect to defeat the Pacific Fleet in a short time, unless our secret plan can be realized. Now we need to be mentally prepared for a long-term battle. Our opponents have extremely terrifying recovery capabilities."
