"Today is June 27th. If there is no accident, there will be a nuclear test explosion in twenty days."
¡°The first one is called ¡®Skinny Man¡¯, and the next two are called ¡®Fat Man¡¯ and ¡®Little Boy¡¯.¡±
Fang Tianlang woke up early in the morning and sat on the edge of his bed and looked at the date. The U.S. and allied forces on the island had nothing to worry about. The only thing that could bring a serious blow to Okinawa was an atomic bomb attack.
Even if 95% of the soldiers can escape the damage caused by shock waves and optical radiation underground, a large amount of radioactive dust will inevitably kill everyone slowly in the days to come.
"Wellwe must destroy the B-29! No one can drop an atomic bomb on my head!"
"Three hundred anti-aircraft guns can bombard a target and kill even a mosquito! Come on! Who is afraid of who? The atomic bomb!"
Fang Tianlang muttered a few words to himself, thinking about another shelling in the early morning, so he walked out of the room to read the battle report.
"A total of 240 shells were fired in the second bombardment. According to estimates from monitoring US military telegrams, more than 190 US soldiers were killed and a total of 35 military trucks of various types were destroyed."
The combat staff reported the numbers, and Fang Tianlang nodded slightly.
"It's not as good as the first time. There are fewer shells fired, and the US military may have camouflaged it. This number is not bad. The key is that we have no casualties, so we can continue to fight!"
Fang Tianlang walked to the blackboard, read all the numbers, then picked up two rifles and went outside to practice shooting.
The Type 38 rifle and the "Garand" rifle each shoot a hundred bullets every day to maintain the feel. There are as many ordinary bullets as you need, and the two rifles also have large reserves.
"Oh By the way, I'll collect the rifles after I finish the shooting practice. There must be thousands of seized Garands and remaining Sanba Gai. With so many soldiers killed in the battle, I should have picked up all the guns. ¡±
¡°Bang¡bang¡¡±
The sound of shooting sounded, and bullet casings popped out one after another.
The firefight in the distance continues, but there is no need to be too concerned.
The battle between the US military and allied forces in northern Okinawa should be easier, but it will definitely be difficult in the southern area.
The large number of mountains and hills makes every step forward come at a huge cost. The loss of one hundred tanks destroyed every day is almost equivalent to the output of the Magnesium country's military industrial enterprises.
After firing a hundred bullets in an hour, Fang Tianlang took several guards to check out the cave where the firearms were stacked.
The total number of American-made rifles captured in more than half a month of fighting and the rifles left behind by the Okinawa defenders after they died in battle totaled more than 2,000, and each ten rifles were bundled into a bundle, which amounted to more than 200 bundles.
"I'll ask someone to take these rifles away immediately. I will leave a dozen bundles here. Take good care of them and make sure they don't get wet."
"Hi!"
"Each of you will be given a box of cans. You can go out to eat now, have a good rest, and come back in half an hour."
"Hi! Thank you, General!"
Fang Tianlang took out a few boxes of cans and gave them to the soldiers guarding the cave. The cave was immediately empty.
"Take it! Take it! You may not need it any time in the future!"
After putting away two hundred bundles of rifles, Fang Tianlang took out a few pieces of dried fish from his backpack and ate them while walking with the guards. When the guards came back later and found the cave empty, they would not have any doubts.
"Form a division! Greater strength! What a pity! Weapons and ammunition are easy to get! Soldiers can't be obtained!"
Fang Tianlang left the cave and saw soldiers pushing carts filled with soil and gravel out of an alleyway.
There are tens of thousands of soldiers digging underground fortifications underground in southern Okinawa. Although many underground fortifications may not be used, digging one more will provide more safe hiding places.
¡¡¡¡
The situation of the battle was exactly as Fang Tianlang expected.
The U.S. and allied forces deployed an integrated division every day for three days and finally achieved a rapid breakthrough in the northern part of Okinawa.
Although the average speed of advancing six hundred meters per day is not too fast, it is several times higher than that in the southern region. With at least 3,000 soldiers falling in the northern theater every day, it is natural to achieve a breakthrough.
The northern part of Okinawa is not easy to defend. If there were not nearly 120,000 soldiers taking turns to stand on the front line, they might have been easily defeated by the US military.
"The latest battle report, as of 12 o'clock last night, the US military reported a total of 81,000 soldiers killed in action."
Applause rang out in the highest command center, and every commander had a smile on his face. More than 80,000 U.S. and allied troops were killed within one month of the war.The soldiers completely exceeded expectations.
"We must continue to work hard, today is the first day of July, and strive to kill two thousand enemies every day,"
"The northern theater can last for at least three months, and the southern theater aims to last for half a year!"
Ushijima Mitsuru raised his fist vigorously, and Fang Tianlang raised his arms and shouted.
Shouting slogans every day is good exercise for the lungs. The fighting spirit of the Okinawa defenders has always been very high, and it will not decrease if they continue to fight.
"There are still fifteen kilometers to go to Hacksaw Ridge, beauty! Your test is still to come!"
Fang Tianlang left the Supreme Command Center and wandered around. The area that had not been eroded by the war still had charming scenery. There were still some fishermen venturing fishing near the sea in southern Okinawa.
The U.S. military¡¯s attack on the southern front is so slow that catching two to three hundred kilograms of sea fish every day for a long time can also increase some food rations.
"General, this is the freshest fish!"
"Okay! Here are the cans for you, take them all away!"
"It would be great if there were prawns! Huizi likes to eat prawns!"
The guard soldiers quickly ran back to the highest command center and brought ten boxes of cans.
Fishermen exchange fifty pieces of sea fish for ten boxes of canned food, which can last at least a week. Meat and fish contain different nutrients and naturally complement each other best.
"Yo Xi! It tastes great!"
¡°It¡¯s very warm! There¡¯s a lot of moisture in the cave! It¡¯s very comfortable to drink more hot soup!¡±
The aroma of fresh fish soup filled the highest command center. The commander and soldiers each received a large bowl of sweet fish soup. The battle situation in front of them did not have major fluctuations, so it was enough for each combat unit to rotate every two or three days.
¡¡¡¡
Time flies by, and ten days pass in the blink of an eye.
At the cost of another 27,000 soldiers killed and 400 tanks destroyed, the U.S. and Allied forces finally advanced four kilometers in each direction. The northern theater fully entered the forest area, while the southern theater reached the vicinity of the North Airport.
In front of us is the first airport the US military encountered on Okinawa, but it has no practical significance.
Even if the Okinawa defenders gave up the airport, no US military commander would dare to let fighter planes or transport planes take off and land on the runway.
The heavy artillery of the Okinawa defenders can blow all types of fighter planes into pieces when fired from a distance of more than ten kilometers. The U.S. military still has safety guarantees in seizing the airport on Iwo Jima. After all, the defenders of Iwo Jima do not have many artillery guns that can shoot at the airport.
Seizing the next airport may only boost the morale of the soldiers. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
