    The U.S. fleet was encouraged by the news of Germany's surrender and swept away the previous gloom.

    Commanders at all levels, including hundreds of thousands of soldiers, have regained their confidence as if they had been injected with stimulants.

    Even if more than fifty main warships are sunk, all warships in the entire European theater can be reinforced to put Okinawa under greater pressure.

    No matter how strong the defense of Okinawa is, it cannot be compared with the combat power of millions of German troops. Even a huge enemy can be defeated, let alone an island with an area of ??only more than 1,000 square kilometers.

    When the forces from the European Theater of Operations join, not only will the Navy's strength double overnight, but the Air Force and Army will also add a large number of main combat units, allowing Okinawa to relax for another half month before launching the final blow.

    The U.S. military commander suspended the attack on Okinawa as planned, but disaster struck unexpectedly.

    The two large submarines launched by the Japanese army four days ago swam near Iwo Jima and silently released a hundred elite soldiers from the cabins.

    The U.S. military commander did not expect that Iwo Jima, which had been attacked once, would be targeted by the Japanese army again.

    Even commanders who have experienced hundreds of battles will have some habitual thinking and will automatically ignore areas that have become hot spots many times.

    "Stop making a sound! Set up mortars!"

    "Measure and shoot Zhuyuan! Add shells and fuses! Shoot!"

    There were violent explosions in the misty dark night, and mortar shells rained down on the heavy bombers beside the runway, while dense bullets were also fired at the soldiers guarding the island.

    Fireworks soared into the sky. It was obvious that the artillery shells fired by the Japanese army contained specialized arson bombs, not just explosive grenades.

    Anti-explosive grenades may not be able to destroy a huge heavy bomber, while arson bombs can burn the entire fighter plane into carbon ash as long as it touches the aircraft body a little bit.

    "Attack! Destroy the intruders!"

    The Japanese commander half-knelt on the ground, raised his saber high and screamed wildly.

    All soldiers participating in the night attack rushed quickly, firing submachine guns and throwing grenades to attack the American soldiers who hurriedly woke up from their sleep.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The horrific attack lasted for nearly two hours, and the fire on Iwo Jima once again fell into a hellish state.

    A total of eight B-29 heavy bombers, eleven escort fighters, a large amount of fuel, bombs, and 790 American soldiers became victims of the Japanese night attack.

    It is no small miracle that more than 60 of the 100 Japanese soldiers who participated in the battle successfully returned to the submarine.

    "This is just a side dish, really nothing"

    Fang Tianlang stared at the huge chart, and the success of the Iwo Jima attack was naturally expected.

    The focus of attention at the moment is the submarine combat unit that was launched earlier. We don¡¯t know the current location of the entire attack group. It may have followed the transport fleet and approached the main fleet, or it may take several days to take action.

    "The submarine force is indeed a terrifying force. We used to only use submarines for reconnaissance operations and rarely for other purposes. Now it seems that it is completely wrong."

    Ito Zhengyi looked a little ashamed. The submarine could obviously exert more terrifying power in Fang Tianlang's hands.

    The Japanese Navy has always failed to realize the importance of the submarine force. It only allows submarines to play auxiliary roles in naval warfare, such as reconnaissance, transportation, and harassment. A large number of submarines are not assembled and used, and they are completely consumed little by little by their own wrong decisions.

    "Don't regret the past. There will be many battles in the future. No one makes mistakes, so just sum up experience. Has the ship to transport torpedoes arrived?"

    "Arrived this morning, a total of sixty torpedoes, four torpedoes left after replenishing all submarines."

    "Let local production continue. The cost of torpedoes is lower than that of ships. Producing more torpedoes is more effective in the short term than producing ships. There are also torpedoes in stock. Transport more torpedoes. Torpedoes are also good attack weapons on land."

    Fang Tianlang looked at the chart again, wondering when the final blow to the Pacific Fleet would occur.

    If the Pacific Fleet can be severely hit, even if all the warships in the European theater are mobilized, they will not be able to force Okinawa to bow.

    "I will send a report immediately! Do everything we can to deliver the torpedoes!"

    Okinawa is extremely quiet.

    Some civilians began to receive military training again as if the war was over.

    No one can see that a large number of warships are leaving the European theater and heading towards the Pacific Ocean.

    The Allied forces had to sweep away Germany in Europe and only needed to leave the army behind to carry it out.Just take the lead, and a large number of air forces and naval forces can enter the Western Pacific to carry out the ultimate decisive battle against Japan.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Time passed quickly, and five days passed in the blink of an eye.

    The Okinawa defenders used the precious quiet time to continue preparing for war.

    The underground passages spread for another two kilometers in all directions and the caves in the mountain also increased in area.

    ? ? Continuously strengthening the defense system can sustain the empire's destiny against increasingly powerful opponents. Germany's surrender cannot crush the fighting spirit of the imperial soldiers.

    Night falls, and darkness falls between the sky and the sea.

    Fang Tianlang stood next to the exit of the Supreme Command Center and looked at the dark sea in the distance.

    It has been fifteen days since the submarine attack force was dispatched. According to calculations, there should be a battle within a day or two at the latest.

    The reconnaissance plane detected a supply fleet approaching the task force two days ago, but it was not known whether there were submarines following below.

    "Takeshita-san! Takeshita-san! Telegram! Telegram!"

    "The attack has begun! The attack has begun! The submarine attack has begun!"

    Ito rushed out of the command center screaming wildly, and immediately hugged Fang Tianlang tightly when he saw him.

    "You stinky little devil! Damn old man! Don't hug me!"

    "The attack has begun!? Haha! The wait is finally here! Long live the empire!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    One hundred kilometers away, in the waters east of Okinawa.

    Thirty fast-moving Type 95 torpedoes suddenly appeared under the deep water.

    The fifteen Japanese submarines following the U.S. transport fleet directly below used their periscopes to see that the surrounding waters were filled with U.S. warships of various types, and then decisively dispersed to launch attacks.

    The first wave of torpedoes was fired at fifteen targets, and then reloaded quickly to keep the launch tube full of ammunition.

    There are at least 300 ships of various types on the surrounding 200 square kilometers of water. No matter what target is hit, there will be suicide planes behind to launch aerial follow-up fire.

    ??The explosions continued one after another, and water columns rose from the water.

    The most tragic scene immediately appeared when fifteen "daggers" were inserted into the center of the U.S. fleet.

    Two escort aircraft carriers, three destroyers, three frigates and four large tank landing ships were hit in the first round, and more torpedoes were being fired one by one.

    Being completely unable to carry out anti-submarine warfare, it basically can only be passively beaten.

    There are always violent detonations in the earphones of the sonar soldiers on each ship, covering up the noise of the submarine engine.

    "Attack! Fire all ammunition!"

    "Come forward! Attack the destroyers! Destroy the anti-aircraft destroyers!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
