Nearly a thousand Okinawa garrison soldiers searched the entire island for the parachuting U.S. B-29 crew members.
On the dark sea, a dozen small gunboats quickly rushed into the distance, preparing to capture extremely valuable prisoners of war.
Every American prisoner of war can be exchanged for a large amount of supplies. Just like what happened on Iwo Jima, the Japanese army will never provide their own rations to prisoners of war.
If the US military commander wants to keep his soldiers alive, he can only use transport aircraft or landing craft to deliver food to the island.
¡¡¡¡
The light of dawn rises from the sea level, and a new day comes.
The U.S. military did not launch another attack throughout the night, apparently for fear of accidentally injuring the parachuting crew members.
Excluding the gunners who did not board the plane, a total of 21 members of the three B-29s were now prisoners of the Okinawa defenders.
The defenders of Okinawa immediately sent a telegram to the US military asking for the delivery of rations and drinking water, otherwise all prisoners of war would starve to death, and they used every opportunity to weaken their opponents and strengthen themselves.
Although a total of 3,700 tons of various ammunition and supplies were transported back from the Kerama Islands, this does not prevent the request from the US military. One is seizure and the other is reasonable expenditure. There is no conflict between the two.
The U.S. military responded quickly after receiving the telegram.
A mechanized landing craft with a white flag left the fleet and headed toward Okinawa at a constant speed.
A total of ten tons of food, drinking water plus two boxes of conventional medicine and some personal supplies will sustain the survival of all captured personnel. Although it is also known that most of the food will be taken away by the Okinawa defenders, some will always be distributed to prisoners of war.
¡¡¡¡
"Today is the second day, how will the US military attack?"
"Or is it an air raid? There is another chance to capture prisoners of war."
Fang Tianlang was sitting in the combat command room. The silence outside was completely unlike the war years.
The U.S. military¡¯s aerial reconnaissance aircraft must have discovered that last night¡¯s attack was an ineffective attack. They must either continue the air attack or formulate a new combat plan. The original combat plan took the capture of the Kerama Islands as the first step, but now there is no way to achieve it.
¡°Allowing soldiers to seize an island within direct range of large-caliber naval guns is almost the same as committing suicide.
"I'll go out and look around. If the US military launches an air strike, I'll fire back."
"The Yamato can also join the battle. Such a large battleship cannot be hidden during the day."
Fang Tianlang left the Supreme Command Center.
Twenty minutes later we arrived at the cave where the seized materials were piled.
More than half of the supplies in the cave have been processed and stored in appropriate places. The soldiers who went to clean the battlefield really managed to "return everything to the warehouse" and even picked up some scattered rifle bullets.
"Today is another great harvest!"
"You guys, go and rest for half an hour, and I'll pick some things."
"Hi!"
"This cigarette is for you! Go!"
Fang Tianlang asked several soldiers who were handling the seized supplies to go outside for a smoke break. Faced with more than a dozen hills of ammunition supplies, they naturally had to collect some and put them into the storage space to take away.
¡°I don¡¯t know where I will jump to the next battlefield. If I jump to a difficult battlefield, I can¡¯t starve myself to death!¡±
"Hmm By the way, there is also Hui Zi, a descendant of Ryukyu and half Chinese, haha."
Dozens of boxes of cans and dozens of boxes of medicine were loaded into the storage space, and various firearms, bullets, artillery shells, helmets, walkie-talkies and even a few barrels of oil quickly disappeared.
Every time you encounter some seized items, you should take away some and slowly accumulate them to feed a battalion-level combat unit. There should be no problem.
"Okay continue with your homework. You have worked hard. Each of you can eat a box of canned meat. Let's eat it now."
Fang Tianlang opened a box of cans, and the soldier responsible for cleaning up the trophies smiled.
No one dares to touch the cans without the permission of the commander. If you are caught taking food casually, the most serious consequences may be to be shot directly.
The aroma of luncheon meat wafted from the cave, and laughter rang out.
¡¡¡¡
Once the war machine starts, it will inevitably roll forward and cannot stop.
The U.S. military immediately launched the second wave of aerial hunting after confirming that the battleship "Yamato" had moved outside the harbor.
Torpedo attack aircraft and dive bombers taxied and took off from more than a dozen aircraft carriers and then formed aerial formations. Without destroying the "Yamato" battleship, there was no way to conduct subsequent landing operations.The battleship's weapon system was already considered obsolete at the end of World War II, but it could still play the role of "one man can stop ten thousand men from opening it" in defensive operations. As long as there is a triple cannon, it can attack every corner within a range of fifty kilometers. They are all under the direct shroud of death.
U.S. military fighter planes took off one after another and organized, and sirens sounded throughout the island.
According to the plan, the battleship "Yamato" accelerated to the back of a small island and set up all its anti-aircraft guns.
Using natural islands as barriers can reduce the threat of torpedo plane attacks by half. The hit rate of dive bombers is by no means as high as imagined, not to mention the fact that they have to face crazy anti-aircraft firepower.
Anti-aircraft firepower is spread all over the island of Okinawa, and the deployment is even strengthened in the area close to the docking of the battleship "Yamato".
It is unknown how many dive bombers dispatched by the US military were shot down in the end.
¡¡¡¡
The U.S. carrier-based aircraft quickly approached, and the "Yamato"'s own long-range anti-aircraft firepower opened fire on Okinawa.
Fang Tianlang stood in a safe position and used a telescope to watch the "Yamato" launch shells from its powerful main gun to attack the incoming U.S. aircraft fleet.
The picture in front of you is definitely a precious shot in history. Even if you have to take some risks when watching it, it is worth it.
"Yamato" launches 460mm Type III anti-aircraft bombs for long-range attacks. In theory, as long as one explodes in the fleet, it can destroy five or six fighters. Each Type III anti-aircraft bomb contains hundreds of small fragmentation bombs and Small incendiary bombs can form a large killing zone in the air after detonating.
Whether it is fragmentation bombs or incendiary bombs, the damage effect on the fighter plane is enough to make the fighter plane lose control and turn into falling scrap metal.
"Boom! Boom!"
There were constant loud noises in the sky in the distance, and hundreds of anti-aircraft artillery shells of various types exploded one after another.
Intense firepower shot down four Curtiss SB2C dive bombers in an instant, just like shooting down birds with a shotgun.
The TBF "Avenger" torpedo bombers launched by the US military have all returned home, leaving only more than a hundred Curtiss SB2C dive bombers still bravely rushing forward.
The battle for Okinawa must not be delayed because of the existence of a battleship. Any trouble must be eliminated forcefully.
The U.S. fighter planes approached rapidly, and the air defense firepower of the Okinawa defenders entered a state of intense projection.
More than 300 anti-aircraft guns on land plus the Yamato's own nearly 200 artillery pieces of various calibers fired dense and scorching fire nets in the blink of an eye.
The SB2C dive bombers exploded in the air and couldn't even get close to the bombing position.
"Yamato" hides behind the island and has only a small area of ??airspace suitable for dive bombing, and this is where all the air defense firepower is focused.
