    "Take these away! They are high-calorie foods! They are so useful!"

    Fang Tianlang walked into the dark cave. Under the light of the flashlight, there were densely packed U.S. military field rations. When he saw no one behind him, he immediately took away seven or eight tons of them.

    "Okay, leave the rest for the little devils to eat. It's not easy to fight and dig out rocks every day."

    Fang Tianlang clapped his hands and left, and went to several other caves to collect some of the ammunition that had just been delivered. It was so dark in the cave that even the Japanese soldiers in charge of guarding did not know that ammunition disappeared in an instant under his nose.

    Every day, various combat units come to pick up ammunition, and the number is already confusing and there is no accurate figure.

    No one would have thought that someone would go around collecting weapons, ammunition and supplies and be a lieutenant general commander.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Rows of landing craft hit the sea again, and the waves rippled layer by layer.

    The U.S. and Allied forces obtained more than 60,000 soldiers and immediately sent 10,000 to replace the tired soldiers and return to the battleships to rest.

    Let the exhausted soldiers sleep well on the battleship for a few days before going into battle.

    The previous consumption of the US military and allied forces was too great. From June 2 to June 12, a total of 20,000 soldiers were killed and more than 4,000 wounded were killed in ten days, which is equivalent to the complete disappearance of an integrated division.

    If the battle damage figures from the previous few days are also added, it is almost equal to the erasure of two division-level combat units.

    The latest soldiers who landed ashore transferred to jeeps and quickly arrived at the front line of the firefight. Large pits can be seen everywhere in the long trenches.

    When U.S. soldiers see the entrance and exit of a tunnel, they will bundle several explosive packages together, stuff them into the entrance of the tunnel, and then detonate them directly.

    Any soldier will have no way to fight if an enemy suddenly emerges from his side. There are more than a thousand tunnel entrances and exits sealed in the entire area. There must be more underground passages similar to ant nests in the vast area.

    The U.S. soldiers had reinforcements in place and were not in a hurry to launch an attack.

    Nearly a hundred tank landing ships need at least an hour to transport the latest arrival of more than 400 armored fighting vehicles of various types to the beach and then disperse them to various areas.

    If US soldiers do not rely on naval gunfire and armored fighting vehicles, they may not be able to move even 100 meters in a day.

    "Get ready to fight! Destroy the armored targets!"

    ¡°Destroying a tank will reward you with a box of canned mackerel! It¡¯s the freshest one!¡±

    Excited shouts rang out in the underground tunnel, and nearly a hundred Japanese firepower personnel were waiting under the wooden ladder holding individual rockets.

    The three transport ships transported a total of 4,200 150mm rockets, 29,000 individual rockets of two calibers, 14,000 recoilless rifle shells, 600 submachine guns, 200 light machine guns and  One million bullets further enhanced the already abundant firepower.

    Each fireman is equipped with a fire deputy to help carry five rockets and launch continuous attacks.

    At this moment, the ammunition reserves and firepower intensity of a division of the Okinawa garrison are basically equivalent to about four times that of a regular first-class division.

    270,000 regular army soldiers plus 60,000 armed civilians are about the same as the one million Kwantung Army at its peak.

    "U.S. tanks are beginning to attack! Prepare to intercept fire!"

    Shouts rang out everywhere, and the Japanese firemen climbed up the wooden ladder and prepared to lift the cover and fire ammunition outwards.

    Good psychological quality is the greatest guarantee that a fireman can hit the target. He can shoot the ammunition one second earlier than the tanker and then calmly leave the firing position.

    "Attack! Attack!"

    The cover was pushed open with force, and the Japanese fireman stretched out his body and fired a 90mm rocket at the "Sherman" tank in the distance. After a loud explosion, there were scattered fireworks, followed by dozens of grenades and rapid firework.  Throw it out.

    How to fight anti-tank is the key point that Fang Tianlang repeatedly emphasized to various combat units on Okinawa. As long as the US military tanks can be destroyed, the defense line can be held for a long time or even half a year.

    A stream of fireworks rose up, and several "Sherman" main battle tanks stopped in place.

    The Japanese army¡¯s dozens of medium-caliber rapid-fire guns behind the first attack front suddenly showed their firepower and fired hundreds of shells to continue bombarding the opponent¡¯s tanks.

    Every time, a combination of multiple firepower attacks will naturally achieve the best attack effect.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Tank! Fight the tank!"

    ¡°Fight tanks every day! Boss?I can't make it in this life!  "

    Fang Tianlang shook his head, turned his head and looked at a high ground behind him. The US military could not even break through the flat area in front of him, let alone the now unknown but extremely famous "Hacksaw Ridge" in later generations.

    "Hacksaw Ridge" has once again raised the glorious image of the US military, but on Okinawa at this moment, it is a different picture.

    The Okinawa defenders over-allocated individual anti-tank ammunition and the number of various artillery pieces multiplied several times, making it difficult for the US military to even conduct armored impact operations. More than a dozen main battle tanks were destroyed in half an hour at a consumption rate that no combat unit could withstand.  .

    "Boom!"

    A huge fireball suddenly rose, and an M4A3R3 fire-breathing tank accompanying the battle was hit point-to-point by a 150mm rocket fired from a distance and exploded instantly.

    Many Japanese soldiers have become accustomed to using single-barrel launchers to launch large-caliber rockets to attack armored fighting vehicles. A direct hit, preferably even a few meters off, can blow the accompanying infantry behind the tank into pieces.

    "Our tanks are too fragile and we need tanks with stronger armor protection!"

    "A tank battalion can't even break through 100 meters in half an hour! Damn the Japanese!"

    "The steel plates transported by air are modified on site! Tanks don't need mobility to fight here! The front deck is thickened! More steel plates are added to the turret. When fighting here, it can move one kilometer in one hour at a very good speed! Bring the steel plates by air!"

    Anger was mixed with helplessness, and curses occasionally sounded.

    Senior U.S. military commanders hid in the trenches at the rear and watched the battle in the distance with binoculars.

    Thirty tanks covered the infantry attack, but several were knocked out in an instant, while more tanks were shot one after another and stopped in place.

    Without the cover of armored fighting vehicles, soldiers cannot even take a step out of the trenches. Any weapon in the hands of Japanese soldiers, including the simplest Type 38 rifle, can accurately hit the target within 100 meters.

    The US military's assault was quickly repelled. Dozens of Japanese soldiers quickly got out of the tunnel and dragged the bodies of some US soldiers into the tunnel.

    With corpses, you can exchange them in various ways. The U.S. military was one of the most humane armies during World War II. It would be best if the corpses of soldiers could be collected, even at a small price.

    Giving the Japanese some food and medicine in exchange for bringing the fallen back to the homeland would be the same choice for any commander facing the same situation.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
