    The U.S. military suffered 5,600 casualties on the first day of combat, and both divisions suffered serious combat attrition.

    It shouldn¡¯t be a problem to persist for one more day, but if the fighting on the second day is still so intense, many companies, platoons and even battalion-level combat units will be wiped out.

    There are not many insurmountable obstacles in front of the landing area, only some small hills, but it is impossible to break through quickly. If we advance 500 meters on the first day, it will take ten days to cut Okinawa in half at this speed.

    "Boom!"

    The sound of explosions came from afar. Several Japanese soldiers hid in a broken trench and used Type 89 grenades to launch ammunition at US soldiers 400 meters away to carry out a deterrent attack.

    By firing three or four at a time and then moving them along the trenches, even if the U.S. military quickly mobilizes firepower to counterattack, it is a waste of ammunition.

    More grenade attack teams are active everywhere shooting.

    Small grenades falling from the sky can form a kill zone with a diameter of about ten meters. Any American soldiers near the impact point will be penetrated by metal shrapnel whether they are standing or lying down.

    The simplest weapon system will be quite effective. It is undoubtedly a good exchange to consume two to three hundred small-caliber grenades in exchange for making US soldiers highly nervous and killing dozens of living targets.

    The U.S. military was attacked by small-caliber grenades, and the forward commander immediately ordered artillery to counterattack.

    More than a dozen 105mm self-propelled artillery fired shells continuously several hundred meters away, and the explosions exploded one after another, killing some Japanese soldiers. However, the firing position of the self-propelled artillery was also accurately locked by the Japanese army.

    The Japanese counterattack came quickly, using artillery to suppress the artillery.

    Although the Type 92 infantry gun, which is essential for ordinary Japanese divisions, has a caliber of only 70 mm, its range exceeds 2,500 meters and it can fire shells at a faster speed.

    A Type 92 infantry gun against a 105mm self-propelled artillery will not suffer due to too much difference in caliber. Covert shooting can preemptively destroy a self-propelled artillery with two anti-explosive grenades. It is not that difficult.

    "Boom!"

    Four Type 92 infantry cannons opened fire one after another. The 105mm self-propelled artillery in the distance was hit by direct fire and immediately misfired. The artillery that was not suppressed by artillery fire hurriedly turned its muzzle direction and fired ammunition, but it was meaningless.

    The Japanese army used the Type 92 infantry artillery to fire rapidly for half a minute each time and then immediately hid in the tunnel. The 105mm anti-explosive grenade could not collapse the reinforced defenses and could not have a killing effect on the artillery combat units inside.

    After the brief artillery exchange ended, the latest batch of U.S. landing troops crossed ten kilometers of sea and entered the beach.

    Eighty main battle tanks will push the covering infantry forward to attack and occupy a trench controlled by Japanese soldiers. Without the cover of armored fighting vehicles, it is impossible to move forward.

    The Japanese army may not necessarily have several large-caliber machine guns suddenly appear at any time and then sweep across a large area.

    In front of us, less than 1% of the Okinawa defenders are fighting, and more main combat units are still silently watching the battle everywhere to look for the weaknesses of the US military.

    "Let the 107th Division concentrate its firepower to bombard the beach. There are already more than 40,000 soldiers, and there are tanks that have just landed ashore. Bombard them for five minutes! All firepower! Attack after the special attack team shells!"

    Fang Tianlang put down the telescope, whispered a few words with Ushijima Mitsuru, and then gave the order to use full firepower.

    At least 2,000 artillery shells can be released in five minutes, covering more than 70% of the entire area in fireworks. A full firepower can kill at least 2,000 to 3,000 U.S. soldiers, and will be supplemented by special killing teams.  A hard blow.

    The combat order was quickly passed to the 107th Division.

    All artillery combat units in the entire defense area immediately deployed artillery, loaded ammunition, and adjusted firing elements.

    Violent bombardment followed by special operations attacks and killings. The US military has deployed two divisions, but the control area is too small. Once it is violently bombarded, there will inevitably be tragic casualties.

    Two thousand artillery shells hitting an area of ??five or six square kilometers can ensure that any key area will be shrouded in shrapnel. US soldiers dare not enter underground passages and can only rely on trenches and bomb craters to avoid shrapnel.

    The 107th Division will kill at least 10,000 US soldiers in two days while its own casualties have not exceeded 500.

    ¡°Boom¡­boom¡­¡±

    More than two hundred artillery pieces of various types, including four sets of Type 5 multiple rocket launchers, suddenly burst out with all their firepower.

    The dense artillery shells struck the area controlled by the US military in an arc, exploding into puffs of fireworks. The order required rapid fire for five minutes, and even if counterattack fire came in front of you, you had to grit your teeth and persevere.

    The horrific bombardment left U.S. soldiers feeling paralyzed within seconds??The end of the world is coming.

    The high-temperature fireball exploded beside him, lifting up the charred soil and tearing off his companions' limbs. It was unbelievable that the opponent could have such a large-caliber artillery and be so perfectly concealed.

    No matter whether it was aerial reconnaissance or telescope sighting, no artillery position was found. More than a hundred large-caliber artillery suddenly appeared and the entire beach was blown away.

    "Reload! Reload!"

    A dozen Japanese soldiers worked in groups of two and started emergency loading with a 150mm large-caliber rocket. Two waves of fire were fired within five minutes to explode more deadly shrapnel in the direction of the beach.

    The smoke is billowing in the distance and no target can be seen, but just shoot according to the predetermined coordinates.

    "Call for reinforcements! Suppress the Japanese troops!"

    The Japanese army's violent firepower projection forced the US warships on the distant coastline to risk using naval guns to implement long-range suppression. The soldiers at the front were shrouded in smoke and dust and could not provide coordinate guidance. They could only shoot roughly. Perhaps only a few of a hundred shells would land.  Being close to the target is better than doing nothing at all.

    "Get into the bunker! Five minutes left!"

    Artillery combat units everywhere stopped firing at the same time, and smoke billowed in the direction of the beach like a volcano erupting.

    About half of the artillery in the last round fired smoke grenades to cover the special operations attacks of frontline soldiers. The artillery fire killed one or two thousand U.S. soldiers, and then the special operations attacks killed some more. A fire counterattack can increase the number of U.S. casualties.  An increase of three thousand is definitely a good result.

    Japanese artillery hid everywhere, and dozens of shells fired by naval guns exploded in front of them. Some Japanese soldiers who were evacuating slowly were hit by shrapnel and fell to the ground.

    "Drag the wounded in! Be careful!"

    The wounded soldier was dragged into the underground bunker by the soldiers next to him. The analgesic morphine was injected into the body, which could save a life and allow him to continue fighting.

    The artillery combat unit suffered a slight injury. Two kilometers away, the special-killing team soldiers quickly emerged from the hidden exit and rushed into the smoke. They used submachine guns to kill all the dozen American soldiers in a trench.

    The rumbling explosions obscured the sound of submachine gun firing, leaving the surrounding American soldiers completely unaware.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
