My Third Empire

Biquge www.readwn.com, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!

When the Lieutenant General of the Big Island vowed to coexist and die with Kauai, the American fleet ’s artillery came to the prelude to landing on Kauai. More than a dozen cruisers and destroyers opened fire from all sides, pouring hundreds of tons of shells onto Kauai. Japanese position.

The shells hit the beach and set off several layers of smoke screens. Japanese soldiers tried their best to dig the trenches. Under the destruction of these large-caliber artillery pieces, they quickly collapsed. Compared with the Americans, the so-called large-caliber artillery of the Japanese is too pediatric.

Most of the Japanese Army ’s support artillery is 75mm caliber mountain artillery. For other larger caliber artillery, the Japanese Army does not have much, because it is a cross-sea landing operation, so it is not carried at all.

As for this legendary 75mm caliber cannon, it is an important support firepower of the Japanese Army on Kauai, but in the face of the United States all-out 155mm caliber cannon, there are larger caliber cruiser guns and battleships Cannon, these Japanese small cannons really have little room to fight back.

What ’s more, Japan has not systematically replenished ammunition these days, and the large-caliber ammunition in hand is really limited. In the face of the overwhelming fire attack by the US Navy and shore artillery forces, the Japanese artillery can only hide in the bunker and pray that all will pass early.

Lieutenant General Oshima is not like the Japanese general Li Linzhong when he was holding the Iwo Jima in another time and space. He did not have a good study of the degree of mechanization and combat mode of the United States, and he even held the unrealistically strong Japanese strong American Thinking, he felt that Japan was only temporarily passive, rather than losing the initiative on the battlefield.

So the Japanese soldiers on Kauai did not carefully build underground fortifications, nor did they have support such as tunnels. Most of them were some trenches and simple bunkers. In the face of the US military ’s coverage, the casualties rose linearly. When Oshima decided to strengthen the fortifications , It's too late.

With the bombardment of American artillery, Kauai was close to the sea on the side of Oahu. U.S. landing boats and barges appeared densely in the sight of Japanese soldiers. During the time when Japanese soldiers were most unwilling, U.S. Marines ’ The soldiers appeared where they should be.

"Boom!" As American ships approached the beach of Kauai, the Japanese position ushered in a new round of firepower coverage. A machine gun bunker was just hit by a U.S. artillery shell due to bad luck. Under everyone's attention, the machine gun and the shooter on this machine gun position were all blown into the sky and turned into pieces.

In the horrified eyes of the Japanese soldiers, the first US Marine landing boat approaching the beach lowered the hatch, and the American soldiers inside rushed into the slightly cold water with their guns high. The water above the waistline immediately made the American soldiers slow down their movements. They could only move forward slowly and could not escape.

"Boo!" A Japanese soldier pulled his trigger. More Japanese soldiers started firing wildly. Machine guns began to roar. The bullets hit the sea like small cannonballs, splashing tiny water columns. Come.

The first American soldier was quickly knocked down by a bullet, and his body fell into the sea with a tremor, and the Japanese machine gun was still shooting. The bullet quickly flew into the open landing boat door, and had not jumped into the water. The American soldiers were knocked down on the ground one by one, and blood flowed down the deck into the sea water, staining a large piece of red.

As Japanese troops on the shore defensively opened fire, the casualties of US Navy soldiers also increased. After all, this is not the same as the German landing in Britain. At that time, Germany was faced with a small number of British coastal defense forces, because the British judged that the Germans would land in other regions. On Kauai, the Japanese succeeded in guessing the attack route of the US military, and it was more than enough to defend a small island. Therefore, the losses of the US landing forces skyrocketed.

However, when another round of artillery fire hit the Japanese defense positions, more American landing boats rushed up the soft beach. When a group of American soldiers entered the beach, the firepower of the Japanese defenders was obviously dispersed. The sparse firepower allowed more American soldiers to rush to the beach safely, and the black pressure began to attack deeper places. .

"Ammunition! Give me ammunition!" A Japanese soldier holding a heavy machine gun in his hands stared at the distant call to his companion, but the machine gunner could only look down at the empty ammo box and sighed. The American soldiers on the opposite side are getting closer and closer, and the artillery fire hit the Japanese positions one by one, because more and more American soldiers boarded the coast, and the coordinates were more accurately passed to the nearby US Navy. The shelling also From coverage to a precise burst, the Japanese defensive position began to collapse quickly.

"No ammunition! Retreat!" The deputy shooter was obviously reluctant to die in this foreign land. He looked at his associates and loudly reminded him that he was out of ammunition. On the other side of the machine gun's shooting port, American soldiers have even begun to pull the grenades' safety ring.

"Baga ah! Fight with these Yankees!" The machine gun shooter ferociously picked up the rifle that was set aside, but he was still a step behind, because the grenade in the hands of the American soldiers had flown over, in his machine gun The bunker exploded in front. Dust and shrapnel flooded into the bunker at once, blasting the heavy machine gun to the side, and the machine gun shooter was now in the pool of blood.

"..." It seems that there is something like the Thousand-People Seam in His Majesty the Emperor, who can't guarantee his life. The deputy shooter hurriedly supported the helmet and escaped from the simple machine gun hidden castle that had collapsed halfway.

Not all Japanese are cold-blooded killers who are brave enough to be brainwashed by the spirit of Bushido. In front of the absolute firepower of the Americans, there are still many Japanese soldiers who want to escape, but their opponents do not give them the opportunity to escape. Even the chance of surrender was not left to these invaders.

When the deputy shooter drilled out of the collapsed machine gun dark castle, he saw that the American soldiers not far from the flank were carrying semi-automatic rifles and carbines against the flanks of the Japanese trenches, and the Japanese soldiers inside followed one by one. One fell and the screams continued.

The massacre is still going on, but now the roles of both sides of the massacre have been changed. The Japanese soldiers who were still violently firing at American soldiers just now have become the targets of shooting by American soldiers. A dozen Japanese soldiers left their trenches and ran towards not far behind. As a result, they were shot by American soldiers halfway and rolled to the ground without moving.

The Japanese deputy shooter who escaped from death saw the scene in the distance, and was frightened to the extreme. He quickly helped the helmet to climb out of the trench, hoping to avoid the violent attacks of the Americans and escape to the back row of trenches, after all, he Seeing that the Japanese soldiers were still fighting back, they seemed to be able to resist for a while.

"Boo! Boo! Boom!" He was found by an American soldier before he even ran out of three steps. The opponent raised the Garland m1 rifle in his hand and fired three bullets in one breath. Obviously, in the face of such firepower density, no one can avoid it. The Japanese deputy shooter immediately felt something hammered on his back, followed by him and fell to the ground, with blood flowing from his mouth and twitching Stopped breathing.

"The front line has been lost! The Americans have landed! The artillery ammunition is exhausted! The death squads are ready, do you want to immediately throw a counterattack?" The chief of staff of the 4th Division of Japan put down his phone and stared at the map while watching Lieutenant General Oshima said heavily: "The front line suffered heavy losses. About 1,100 soldiers lost contact. The battle is continuing. The Americans have broken through some of the second line of defense."

"Invite 300 people to fight back here and try to drag the battle into the night. By that time we will concentrate on driving the Americans off the sea!" Oshima still believes that Japanese soldiers have a firmer fighting spirit than weak American soldiers. He is more combative, but he also saw the terrible power of American firepower. This is definitely not an enemy that Japanese soldiers can overcome with faith.

So Lieutenant General Oshima put all his bets on the field of night warfare where Japanese soldiers are better at. After all, Americans ’firepower cannot be fully exerted at night, and assault white-blade battle is a key strength of Japanese soldiers’ training. Saving ammunition not only reflects the fearless spirit of Japanese soldiers.

But the Lieutenant General ’s strength is not as strong as he thought. He originally had at least 35,000 soldiers, but hunger and disease reduced his troops to less than 30,000. Oshima's lack of a counterattack reserve of 5,000 people in his hand made the problem of his lack of military strength stand out.

In addition, the high-intensity confrontation consumes unimaginable ammunition reserves. The ammunition that has no more reserves has already been stretched in the consumption of high-intensity wars for more than an hour. Many soldiers were killed after they ran out of their own ammunition. The Americans are surrounded by annihilation.

"Your Majesty's soldiers! We will never retreat! Let the Yankees see the power of our Great Japanese Imperial Army! The whole army assaulted!" A captain withdrew his command knife and roared in a fierce voice, holding it high in the sky The middle arm swung forward violently, and with his command knife, hundreds of Japanese soldiers howled and rushed to the position that the US army had just occupied.

"Baga Yalu! Punch!" With the bayonet bayonet, the Japanese soldiers followed one by one, and the black pressure rushed towards their target. But it was not the American soldiers with the spirit of Bushido and a good bayonet that greeted them, but the rain of bullets fired from the machine gun.
