Chapter 1516 Iwo Jima
·
Tan Suan Yu Lei
As Zhang Tuohai expected, the United States carried out a comprehensive bombing and shelling of Pearl Harbor.
Pearl Harbor was plowed twice with shells and bombs.
As if this was the only way to wash away their shame.
After attacking for three days, the Americans sent landing ships to the island.
The entire island was filled with a burnt smell, and there was not even a single living mouse.
Halsey was very pleased with the effect of the attack.
"This method is good. I will follow this method in the future. Before each attack, first cover the island with shells."
"Yes." The adjutant recorded the order.
People are all path dependent. When a certain method is successful, they will involuntarily copy it in this way.
That was the case with Halsey.
After destroying the United Fleet, he no longer had any opponents in the Pacific Ocean, so naturally he had no scruples and began to gradually capture the islands occupied by the Japanese.
The method he used was also very simple, that is, bombing with artillery, blowing up the land again, and then landing on the island.
If the target is found, continue to bomb until all resistance forces are completely wiped out.
Halsey was easy, and he thought he could go all the way to Tokyo with this tactic.
Until it hit Iwo Jima head-on.
For Iwo Jima, Zhang Tuohai is very concerned about it.
Before the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, he sent Lieutenant General Kuribayashi up.
At the same time, all the elite local first divisions were transferred.
Nominally guarding the local prisoners, in fact, Kuribayashi also took on an important task, which was to build Iwo Jima into a fortress and an unsinkable battleship.
Even Zhang Tuohai allocated more than a dozen 460-caliber naval guns to Lilin.
Li Lin didn't know what Zhang Tuohai was going to do, but this was the emperor's order, all he could do was follow through.
When Kuribayashi arrived at Iwo Jima, he began to dig fortifications day and night, almost hollowing out the entire Suribachi Mountain.
A large number of fortifications were built inside the mountain and reinforced with various rocks and cement.
A large amount of food, drinking water and various weapons are stored in it, enough for a division to continue fighting for a year.
If the island was not too small to hold too many people, Zhang Tuohai even wanted to pack millions of people on Iwo Jima.
After the rice army arrived at Iwo Jima, they still followed the old method, bombarded it once with artillery, and then landed.
This trick might work well on other islands, but Kuribayashi built all the fortifications in the mountains.
Ordinary naval guns can't pry open the thick mountain.
Mi Jun, who had won successive victories, also felt arrogance, thinking that this time was the same as before, but it was just another scorched earth journey.
When a large number of rice troops gathered on the beach and were about to march inland, Lieutenant General Lilin gave the order to attack.
Rifles protruded from various hidden corners.
Bullets hit the Mi Army from all directions.
Before Mi Jun could react, he was hit by a bullet to the end.
In order to encircle and fight for aid, some Japanese troops would not even take the initiative to shoot at the opponent's vital points, but only incapacitated the opponent, and then killed the opponent's medical soldiers.
The battle was overwhelming from the very beginning.
A large number of rice soldiers were knocked to the ground before they realized what was going on.
The remaining Mi Jun also crawled on the ground, trembling.
Halsey was furious when he saw this situation, and ordered the planes and naval guns to attack again.
I swear to blow up Mount Suribachi.
But Suribachi Mountain is a solid rock structure, so it has been bombed for two days, and it only left some craters, and there is nothing that can be done about the main fortifications.
In fact, Halsey has another way, which is to send warships to besiege Iwo Jima.
Iwo Jima has no depth, just an island.
As long as the siege lasts long enough, the people on the island can be trapped to death.
But Halsey was already on top, and he felt ashamed to leave like that.
"Order, continue to send people to land, and we must take Iwo Jima."
Halsey sent two more divisions to land on the island and began to attack the mountains.
This time they learned to be smart. Every time they took a step forward, they had to carefully check the ground.
When encountering an enemy, call the naval gun to shoot.
Throw a grenade into each pothole you find or set it on fire with a flamethrower.
Not to be outdone, the Japanese army took advantage of favorable terrain to resist steadily.
Large-caliber naval guns even sank two landing ships.
The Mi Army suffered heavy losses.
Such a heavy loss made Halsey even more aggressive, and he wished to skin the Japanese army on the island.
Kuribayashi was also very determined.
He issued an order that every soldier must kill three enemies before being allowed to die in battle.
Under his command, the rice army finally captured Iwo Jima at the cost of nearly 10 casualties.
In the end, only three Japanese soldiers on the entire island chose to surrender, and the rest either died in battle or committed suicide.
The whole island is like purgatory on earth.
Looking at the tragic situation on the island, Halsey had a headache.
And he was also transferred to the rear because of huge casualties, forced to rest.
He was replaced by Lieutenant General Li Mei.
Li Mei was born in the Air Force, and his favorite thing to do is bombing.
In his view, the easiest way to crush the enemy's will to fight is to kill the opponent's industrial capabilities and blow the opponent back to the Stone Age.
Then, Li Mei began to build airports and bombed major cities in Japan.
The first target of his revenge was Edo.
Thousands of bombers formed a dense formation and launched an attack towards Edo.
In order to achieve better bombing effects, they even chose special incendiary bombs for the many characteristics of Edo's wooden buildings.
Then, the whole of Edo burst into flames, and the whole city was almost burned to the ground.
Tens of thousands of people were burned to death, the river boiled, and the whole city was turned into a white space.
In this regard, Zhang Tuohai directly delivered a radio speech, denouncing the atrocities of the United States, and at the same time called on the whole people to resist and fight against the rice army to the last.
He even gave everyone a pistol and a grenade.
Resolutely fight to the end with the Mi army.
A large number of weapons were issued.
Seeing Zhang Tuohai's resolute attitude, Li Mei felt challenged.
He immediately launched a massive air strike.
Thousands of planes were dispatched frequently and bombed every major city, razing every major city that could be seen to the ground.
Zhang Tuohai had also been prepared for a long time. He dismantled all the remaining steel to form anti-aircraft guns and formed artillery regiments to intercept the Mi army's path.
Killed a lot of planes.
In this way, the hatred between the United States and Japan has deepened and penetrated into the bone marrow.
Finally, Miguo couldn't take it anymore and dropped the little boy on Tokyo.
Boom!
With a loud noise, a mushroom cloud rose.
Then, hundreds of thousands of meters of troops rushed to the Japanese mainland from various ports.
Fierce battles raged on the Japanese mainland.
Pearl Harbor was plowed twice with shells and bombs.
As if this was the only way to wash away their shame.
After attacking for three days, the Americans sent landing ships to the island.
