After a fierce battle, the US military was not satisfied with paying a huge price and only advancing 200 meters in some areas.
The Japanese counterattack firepower is extremely powerful and the soldiers who are not afraid of death are simply a nightmare for the armored forces. American soldiers and allied soldiers will never dare to rush towards a tank with a Molotov cocktail.
Not only did soldiers dare not do such an action, but commanders also did not dare to issue such orders. After the war, all commanders who let soldiers die at will will be dealt with by military courts.
The U.S. military commander was at a loss.
The Japanese soldiers who retook their positions were rewarded. Each man was given two packs of cigarettes, a box of canned meat and a bottle of beer, which made the trenches burst into laughter.
Eat the canned meat directly and drink the beer as soon as possible. Filling the beer bottle with oil can act as a Molotov cocktail to attack the tank.
When soldiers throw Molotov cocktails to attack tanks in an open area, it would take dozens of soldiers to die before they have a chance to hit one. But in Okinawa, an island with countless holes, it only takes two or three armed civilians to knock out a tank.
"Very good! You two are great!"
A Japanese commander walked up to two armed civilians and patted them on the shoulders.
If you can successfully destroy a tank and still come back alive, you need to give good rewards to encourage more people to fight bravely. The shooting accuracy of armed civilians is not high, but it is still good for throwing ammunition.
"You two can return to the rear of the battle line to rest for five days. This is your reward. You are the warriors of the empire!"
"Hi!"
Two armed civilians each bowed and left holding a small bag. Each of them had five boxes of cans, a carton of cigarettes and two bottles of beer, which were extremely valuable resources even in peacetime.
¡¡¡¡
"I received twenty-two damaged tanks today. It seems that at least ten can be repaired. The US military's impact is just to increase my heavy equipment reserves. Come on!"
Fang Tianlang closed his notebook, leaned in front of the periscope and looked outside for a while.
Without shelling, there is basically no battle. Any combat operation by the US military will start with shelling. No US military commander knows how to attack without artillery cover.
The sunshine gradually became fainter, and the US military began shelling again.
A dozen tanks advanced slowly to cover hundreds of U.S. soldiers preparing to take down a hilly defensive position.
The U.S. military commander clearly knows that he cannot destroy a line of defense and can only choose sporadic targets to attack. It is also an acceptable tactic to capture some small defensive positions and then connect them into a piece before continuing to attack forward.
U.S. soldiers launched an attack on the hills, and a dozen machine guns of various types spit out long tongues of flame amid the fireworks.
The interception and attack mode of Japanese soldiers has changed the machine gun from supporting firepower to main attack firepower. In the past month alone, hundreds of machine guns and countless bullets have been captured.
When American soldiers launch an attack, they first use a machine gun to spray thousands of bullets and then withdraw the machine gun to let riflemen and snipers shoot the remaining targets. Shooting the most bullets in the shortest time can make the morale of the American soldiers disappear in an instant.
The American soldiers who hit the front fell instantly, and rifle bullets shot past and penetrated many bodies.
American soldiers really didn¡¯t know where to hide to avoid being shot by Japanese soldiers. Even if they hid behind tanks, they would be killed by small-caliber grenades falling one after another in the fireworks.
The grenade in the hands of Japanese soldiers is actually a very efficient melee weapon system.
A shooter walks back and forth carrying twenty pieces of ammunition. When he sees an opportunity, he can fire one to knock out at least one or two soldiers.
The U.S. military's attack was quickly repelled, leaving the wreckage of the two tanks alone. The tank drivers tried their best to escape, but were directly blown to pieces by a recoilless rifle shell that was pursued.
¡¡¡¡
"In two days, we will get 240 tanks and 17,000 soldiers, open a landing zone, and attack the Okinawa defenders from both front and rear."
The lights on the US warship were brightly lit, and a dozen senior commanders stood in front of a large map of Okinawa and pointed.
When the frontal attack is frustrated, landing operations from the side form a pincer attack. Although the number of casualties is difficult to control, it can speed up the progress of the battle.
By deploying naval gunfire and aerial firepower from the side for landing operations, you don¡¯t have to worry about accidentally injuring soldiers, you can use full firepower.
Exploding an absolute safe zone on the beach and throwing in 20,000 soldiers to attack from the front and back. The long and narrow terrain of Okinawa is easy to be attacked from the front and back. This is a weakness that the Okinawa defenders can never avoid.
¡°The Japanese army is too tenacious! This is the only way, otherwise our tanks will not be able to get around those mines, anti-tank trenches and intensive anti-tank firepower. Even if a division is crippled, a gap will have to be opened here. "
Nimitz took out a red pencil and drew a line on the map. From Changbin to Gucha, the 11-kilometer beachhead could be snatched and immediately form a strong block behind the Japanese soldiers who were still holding their positions at this moment.
Blocking the 10,000 Okinawa defenders and then attacking from both sides, if the battle proceeds as planned, the isolation zone in central Okinawa will quickly double.
"One division will serve as the main force, and the other division will serve as the reserve force."
"It takes three hours to seize the beachhead and then advance two hundred meters per hour. It can cut off the Japanese army's retreat in two days at the latest. The one we are fighting here is the 9th Division, the main combat division of the Japanese army. It is very meaningful to destroy it."
¡°The excavator must come ashore as quickly as possible and cooperate with the engineering troops to cut a trench across the battlefield. This can prevent Japanese soldiers from retreating from the underground. We need to kill at least 10,000 Japanese soldiers.¡±
The U.S. military commander made the decision to immediately mobilize warships to move toward the planned landing area. After the arrival of the armored forces, they immediately carried out firepower projection to level the defenses on the entire beach and the defenses in deep areas.
From Changbin to Gucha Landing, you can forcefully break through to the opposite side and only need to cross 3.5 kilometers to reach the beach on the other side.
The narrowest place on the main island of Okinawa is this. If it hadn't been for the "Yamato" bombardment half a month ago, the first landing site would never have been chosen anywhere else.
The U.S. military used the cover of darkness to mobilize warships and landing ships.
The Okinawa defenders still used small groups of soldiers to harass and attack the U.S. and allied forces, and there were several violent explosions at intervals throughout the night.
¡¡¡¡
"Report! The US military mobilized its fleet last night!"
"Um?!"
Fang Tianlang walked into the combat command room, and several senior Japanese commanders immediately surrounded him.
"The U.S. military may want to implement a third landing operation. The landing area is here, and 30,000 soldiers will be thrown from here. The 9th Division's retreat can be cut off in two days at the fastest."
"The U.S. military's frontal attack was too slow to break through, and a firefighting area was opened from the side and rear to form a pincer attack. The correct tactical response."
Fang Tianlang nodded slightly and looked at the latest position of the US fleet on the map with a faint smile. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
