The entire war zone suddenly became silent, and many American soldiers were lying in the trenches breathing heavily.
A three-hour truce means that you can at least take a nap to restore a lot of physical strength. The Okinawa defenders will fire artillery shells every night to interfere with their rest, leaving many soldiers almost awake all night.
A medium-sized landing ship sailed on the sea, and there was drizzle in the sky.
Two hundred Japanese soldiers carried more than 70 corpses of American soldiers to the outside of the tunnel, and 16 prisoners of war were also waiting next to them.
"Give them each a cigarette and they will have to wait for a while. Fifty tons of supplies will take at least half an hour to be shipped."
Fang Tianlang stood at the entrance of the alley, looking at the beach a few hundred meters away.
During World War II, the U.S. military was really wealthy and relied entirely on its strong financial resources to overwhelm its opponents one after another. It also provided thousands of tons of food to the Okinawa defenders in exchange for captured soldiers.
The same picture will never be seen on the Japanese army. Even if a hundred Japanese soldier corpses are returned, don't expect to be able to exchange them for a box of Nippon cans.
The landing ship approached the beach and opened the front door. Two M3 half-track armored personnel carriers with white flags slowly drove out. The US military used armored vehicles to help load supplies and speed up the process.
"Put these down and keep moving!"
"Wellthey are all canned meat, what we need most, open these two boxes, and each of you will get five boxes."
Fang Tianlang reached out to stop several soldiers. Several boxes of canned meat were placed on the ground. The guards quickly opened the packages and each took out five boxes and stuffed them into their backpacks.
"You guys also go and help move it. If you see any cigarettes, leave a box of them, one for each of you."
"Hi!"
The guard soldiers left quickly, and the soldiers beside them walked back and forth.
"This, put it here!"
"Hi!"
Fang Tianlang issued instructions from time to time. The soldiers who heard the instructions immediately put down the packing boxes in their hands against the rock wall. They collected every few dozen boxes and hid them in the storage space so that no one could find them.
When the US military sends fifty tons of supplies, at least three to four tons will enter another space.
The moving operation was completed quickly and the beach was deserted.
The soldiers responsible for the transportation happily left with a pack of cigarettes and a box of cans.
Any soldier fighting on the frontier will soon find a large piece of lunch meat or a large piece of beef in the dish when eating.
The defenders of Okinawa should be regarded as the best food among the defenders of all Pacific islands.
Before the war started, a large amount of supplies were transported from the mainland, plus the rations carried by each reinforcement unit and the US military providing supplies from time to time. It was really comfortable to have meat for almost every meal and a bottle of beer every few days.
The peaceful time at noon passed quickly.
The soldiers woke up from their nap and were full of energy and ready for battle.
In half a day, the US military should have integrated the three landing sites into a whole. The area of ??about 60 square kilometers is enough to accommodate 200,000 soldiers or even more.
The U.S. military seized the next large area and immediately used bulldozers and excavators to destroy the tunnels. Digging a trench to form an isolation would prevent the Okinawa defenders from infiltrating underground.
Although the war situation is extremely difficult every day, there is still a glimmer of hope. The two halves of Okinawa are separated by a distance of 12 kilometers and will never be connected again.
Groups of U.S. soldiers landed, and hundreds of jeeps and a large number of half-track armored personnel carriers ran around the entire area to transport soldiers from one place to another.
US military commanders instinctively believe that the most difficult moment has passed. In the next two days, more than 500 large-caliber artillery pieces and 300 main battle tanks will arrive to become the main force of a new wave of advancing attacks.
¡¡¡¡
"We cannot fire artillery casually. Each of our artillery shells is extremely precious. Every time we determine a coordinate point that needs to be attacked, two groups of observation posts must measure the coordinates at the same time and fire a salvo for immediate correction. No matter how important the target is, only Can shoot twice and then immediately enter the alleyway to hide."
The war situation entered a new stage, and a group of senior commanders began to listen to Fang Tianlang's tactical arrangements.
"The U.S. military and allied forces can continuously receive supplies, which we cannot do, but we also have advantages. Our artillery is hidden at the entrance of lanes or underground. If the U.S. military wants to destroy one of our artillery, it must at least fire??Hundreds of artillery shells, such a long time is enough for us to carry out five or six counterattacks. We only need to fire five artillery shells at most to destroy an opponent's artillery and drag out the war. The first to be unable to support it must be the US military and allied forces. "
"Hey! Never rush in!"
The Japanese troops everywhere completed their rotation and quietly waited for the U.S. military's attack.
The medium-caliber artillery behind the defensive front fired some shells at the US attack front every ten minutes. The US soldiers were unwilling to get into the narrow underground and could only endure the shelling in the trenches.
"Boom!"
A 75mm anti-explosive grenade hit the U.S. trenches accurately. After the explosion, three U.S. soldiers fell to the ground blackened. The Japanese gunners accurately aimed and the observation posts helped correct the corrections so that every shell could land. in a predetermined position.
"Ready for battle! Our tanks are coming!"
The U.S. soldiers in the trench looked nervously to the rear. An impact group composed of dozens of tanks was approaching at a constant speed.
Relying on the cover of tanks, you can move forward a certain distance and dig foxholes on the spot to form a cover. Having more bomb holes on the battlefield is obviously very beneficial to the attacking soldiers. Digging out the loose soil can hide you well.
As the U.S. tanks advanced, the Japanese soldiers moved the single-barreled 150mm rocket launcher and the two-barreled 150mm rocket launcher into the trench from the misty artillery fire.
When encountering a tank impact, large-caliber rockets were used for direct bombardment. The Okinawa defenders still had more than 7,000 large-caliber rockets, enough to destroy every U.S. tank that dared to launch an impact on the defense line.
"Boom! Boom!"
¡°Da da da¡ da da da¡¡±
US tanks move forward while projecting ammunition, hoping to kill the most terrifying heavy firepower.
Sitting in an armored fighting vehicle does not guarantee enough safety. You always have to worry about being hit by direct fire. Japanese soldiers dared to wait until the target was close to fifty meters before firing ammunition. The extremely close distance ensured that the hit rate was at least 80%. above.
Shrapnel was flying, and some Japanese soldiers were hit by shrapnel and fell in pain.
The U.S. military¡¯s firepower is strong enough to tear apart any defense from the front.
If the Okinawa defenders had not dug a large number of underground defenses, they would have lost at least half of their defensive positions at this moment. Only by adapting to local conditions can they make the most of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. The US military's catastrophic days are just the beginning.
