I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

In the commander-in-chief's office, Navy Commander-in-Chief Chen Shaokuan, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Ouyang Ge, and Chief of Staff Chen Ce are all there, as well as Xu Zushan, Commander of the Second Fleet of the Navy.

Xu Zushan was the last one to enter the office. As soon as he entered the room, his eyes widened because he saw that Chen Shaokuan was not sitting in the position of the commander-in-chief that belonged to Chen Shaokuan, but stood respectfully. In the position of the commander is a person who has long been "dead".

"General Xu, nothing to be surprised about!" Jiang Weiguo laughed, "How can someone like me die so easily?"

"This..." Xu Zushan was dumbfounded. He looked at Chen Shaokuan, Ouyang Ge, and Chen Ce, and saw that the three of them had natural expressions, obviously they were all insiders. I was stunned, my mind was in a mess, and my thinking seemed to be frozen.

"Everyone, let's get to the point!" Jiang Weiguo put on a solemn expression, "Four hours ago, the U.S. military officially launched an attack on Oahu Island, and our troops on the island have already launched a bloody battle with the U.S. military.

The result was good, the first confrontation allowed the U.S. military to lay down more than 1 people, and also killed many U.S. battleships!" His solemn expression could not suppress a kind of joy and complacency.

Chen Shaokuan and others showed expressions of surprise and disbelief.

"However, General Bao and the others are guarding the island alone after all, and fighting to the death is not a long-term solution!" Jiang Weiguo said, "In addition to the submarines in our naval fleet, can the surface warships also attack properly? You should all know that The significance of the Battle of Hudao is that we will severely damage the U.S. military, so that the U.S. government will no longer dare to underestimate our country and our military, so as to force the Americans to give up more interests to our country in the next Sino-U.S. relationship!" He looked at Xu Zushan, "General Xu, when the Japanese attacked Hawaii back then, Yamamoto 56's joint fleet made a detour from the North Pacific to Hawaii. You participated with the Second Fleet of the Chinese Navy. You are very familiar with that route, right?"

Xu Zushan nodded again and again: "Of course!"

Chen Shaokuan said: "Our navy, as part of the Chinese army, of course has to fight for the country.

However, whether we can drive from China to Hawaii now is a question!Americans and Japanese in the Pacific are our enemies!"

Jiang Weiguo nodded: "Yes, this is true, but, first, more than [-]% of the U.S. Navy's Pacific Ocean forces have been devoted to the Hawaiian War, and the rest are almost all in the Southwest Pacific to defend against the Japanese. There is almost no U.S. Navy in the North Pacific. Second, if our fleet detours to the North Pacific Ocean, the Japanese are indeed likely to find out, but will the Japanese tip off the Americans? "

Chen Shaokuan asked eagerly: "Second Young Master, what do you mean..."

Jiang Weiguo narrowed his eyes: "China, the United States and Japan are fighting for hegemony in the Asia-Pacific region, and the three countries are not friends. The United States and Japan are already at war, and China, Japan, and China and the United States are also at war.

As far as China is concerned, it is best for both the United States and Japan to suffer; for the United States, it is best for both China and Japan to suffer; for Japan, it is best for both China and the United States to suffer.

What do you think the Japanese would do if they found out that our fleet was heading to Hawaii to fuck the Americans? "

"Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!" Chen Ce blurted out, "Although the Japanese have taken refuge in the Americans, they have their own secrets with the Americans. The Japanese very much hope that both China and the United States will suffer. How could they tip off to the Americans? The Japanese are eager for the U.S. military They were beaten by us and suffered heavy losses, and we were also wiped out by the US military! They will only pretend to be confused!"

Jiang Weiguo smiled slightly: "Yes! Therefore, our navy's aircraft carrier fleet may be dispatched!"

Chapter 738 Bloody Battle Island (2)

Hawaii, Oahu, Pearl Harbor.

The scene of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor two years ago seems to have reappeared: the overwhelming planes, the fleet of boats and boats, the smoke clouds covering the sky, the bombs as dense as raindrops, the shells flying fire meteors, the fireballs blooming everywhere, the thunder and lightning Interspersed explosions, deafening din, strong and pungent bloody smell, broken limbs flying all over the sky, bloody soldiers, torn apart vehicles, boats and ships, scattered weapons and equipment, blood flowing across the river, The blazing fire, the heart-piercing screams and wails, the yelling and cursing in grief, the roaring and roaring, the deafening and inaudible sound of gunfire... Together they converged into a bloody and fierce battle. Crazy war scenes, but, compared to the "Battle of Hawaii" two years ago, this "Battle of Hawaii" at this time is even more bloody, fierce, and cruel. The U.S.-Japan Battle of Hawaii was essentially a surprise attack by the Japanese army on the U.S. Army. The outcome was decided quickly. The bloodshed on both sides was not too much. At this time, the Sino-U.S.-Hawaii Battle was an out-and-out confrontation, head-to-head The meat grinder, the flesh mill, both sides are bleeding profusely.

The U.S. military landed on Oahu at two points at the same time. One was the "triangular beach plain" in the north of Oahu, and the other was the "figure-eight beach plain" in the south of Oahu with Pearl Harbor and Honolulu at its core.

After the U.S. troops formally landed, more than 5000 U.S. troops successfully landed ashore within an hour and a half of the Nanking Army without firing a single shot, of which about 3 landed on the northern beach and about [-] landed on the southern beach. Another mountain of supplies was unloaded to the two beaches.

When the number and density of the U.S. troops on the two beaches, especially the southern one, became saturated, the Nanjing Army resolutely launched a full-scale counterattack.

The Nanjing Army's counterattack was like an earthquake. Not only did it come suddenly without warning, but it was also earth-shattering.

Following the order of Fang Xianjue, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, the "fire" command was immediately transmitted to the ears of all officers and soldiers participating in the battle through the wired broadcast in the tunnel. Oahu came to life in an instant and roared earth-shatteringly.

On the southern beachhead, two avenues and multiple land-based circular fortifications with the Pearl Harbor area and the city of Honolulu as the two dots blasted out stormy shells and fire. In semi-underground or underground firepower strongholds such as underground tunnels, tunnels, and dark forts, the Nanjing Army, which had already been waiting in full battle, roared and opened fire. Tens of thousands of 98k rifles, MP-38/40 submachine guns, and TJ-44 assault rifles ("TJ-44" of the Chinese army) 44 assault rifle" is developed by China and Germany based on the German StG-34 assault rifle as a prototype, "TJ" means "assault"), MG-42/[-] machine gun... The firepower net ejected at the same time can be called overwhelming, And accompanied by the lightning-like rain of bullets from migratory locusts, there are thousands of grenades, mortars, infantry guns, rapid-fire guns, machine guns, anti-tank guns, recoilless guns, bazookas and flattened The great thunder of light and medium artillery such as anti-aircraft guns.

U.S. troops stepping out of landing ships or transport ships onto Ewa Beach (the western beach at the exit of Pearl Harbor), U.S. troops striding toward the interior of Pearl Harbor along the seaside land of West Bay and Middle Bay while carefully searching, U.S. troops who have entered the Waipio Peninsula (the peninsula where Pearl Harbor is located), U.S. troops who are trying to enter the Colau Mountains (the mountains west of Pearl Harbor), U.S. troops who are on guard at the foot of the Waianai Mountains (the mountains east of Pearl Harbor), are The U.S. troops entering the urban area of ​​Honolulu, the U.S. troops entering Iy Bay (the eastern inlet of Pearl Harbor) in small boats, and the U.S. troops on the Wapeo Peninsula (the western land of Pearl Harbor) looking at Pearl Harbor with emotion...all fell into In the death storm of the Nanjing Army.

Occupying and operating Oahu Island for two full years, the Nanjing Army is as familiar with the place as the U.S. Army itself. At this time, as the "new master" and the "old master" are fighting fiercely here, the Nanjing Army has a complete geographical advantage , The defenses and fortifications that have been painstakingly managed on the island are almost maximized in terms of killing and injuring the invading enemy.

"Kunlun and Qinling Mountains, two mountains naturally guard the east and west sides of the island!" Fang Xianjue pointed at the sand table in the headquarters. Of course, there are no Kunlun and Qinling Mountains on Oahu Island. Both Kunlun and Qinling Mountains are in China. Fang Xianjue said " "Kunlun" and "Qinling" refer to the Huaianai Mountains (larger mountainous area) in the east of Oahu Island and the Kolau Mountains (slightly smaller mountainous area) in the west.

The mountains, peaks, rivers, and lakes on Oahu all have their original American English names. Firstly, the Nanjing Army disliked the original names as being too difficult to remember. Secondly, they felt that they were already the new owners of the place, so there was no need to call them by their old names. For those places, it seems that before the Americans occupied Hawaii, the locals gave Hawaii itself and the mountains, rivers and lakes on Hawaii names in the local language, and the Americans gave them new names after they occupied Hawaii.

Therefore, the Huaianai Mountains were renamed "Kunlun" by the Nanjing Army, and the Keluo Mountains were renamed "Qinling" by the Nanjing Army. In addition, there are many places that were also given Chinese-style new names by Nanjing Army officers and soldiers.

"As long as we stick to Kunlun and Qinling, even if we stick to one of them, Oahu will not be lost!" Fang Xianjue is very confident, "Especially the 'Weiguo Peak', the most important thing, it is our last position, It is also the most important point!" The "Weiguo Peak" Fang Xianjue said is the highest peak on Oahu Island, Mount Kahala at an altitude of 1228 meters. The officers and soldiers named it after Jiang Weiguo, naturally for the sake of To commemorate Jiang Weiguo, who has an extremely lofty and unmatched supremacy in their hearts.

There are many peaks on Oahu Island. There are more than 100 peaks with an altitude of more than 300 meters, and more than 500 peaks with an altitude of more than 30 meters. The Nanjing Army has carefully selected 28 important peaks for long-term soil work. It was transformed into a mountain fortress and a large stronghold, named after 28 famous generals in Chinese history. "Weiguo Peak" is one of the above 28 mountains, and it is also the largest and highest. "God of War" "It's not just a famous general, it's not an exaggeration to call him a 'god general'" "Jiang Weiguo people live up to their name, Weiguo, Weiguo, they are devoted to the country and defend the country all their lives".

"Both the southern beachhead and the northern beachhead have fallen into fierce fighting, especially the southern beachhead!" Sheng Wen looked at the sand table, "More than 3 US troops are passing through there, flocking to the basin plain in the hinterland of the island, the 'Sun Wu Mountain' and the Qinling Mountains at the southernmost tip of Kunlun. The southernmost 'Wuqi Mountain' and the nearby 'Jianggong Mountain' (named after Jiang Ziya), 'Baiqi Mountain', 'Wang Jian Mountain', 'Lianpo Mountain', and 'Li Mu Mountain', a total of seven mountain strongholds can attack Pearl Harbor. To form a fire blockade, now, do we need seven 'cannon hills' to fire at full strength?"

"No hurry!" Fang Xianjue was very calm, "We can only catch the U.S. military by surprise at the beginning of the war. There is only one chance, just one time! After the first hard blow, the U.S. military will become more cautious. There is no chance.

Just like a sudden attack, the first strike will catch the opponent off guard, but the second strike will not catch the opponent off guard. Only the first strike can surprise the opponent, so the first strike must be used to maximize its lethality.

We must make the most of the only opportunity to cause maximum damage to the US military!It is necessary to fire and counterattack, but don't counterattack with all your strength for the time being.

If we fight back with all our strength, the U.S. military will inevitably see that the situation is not good, retreat all, and escape from the land back to the warship. Then we only repelled the U.S. military, but failed to cause particularly heavy casualties to the U.S. military.

Therefore, we have to reserve half of our strength so that the U.S. military can still move forward amidst the hail of bullets. In this way, they will continue to move forward, continuously penetrate into the hinterland of the island, and then we will fight back with all our strength!Take the American troops who have come ashore completely in one pot!Let them come and go! "

Sheng Wen smiled: "First lure the enemy to go deep, and then gather and annihilate them, so as to kill the enemy army to the maximum extent!"

The Nanjing Army on Oahu did "import" the experience of the Battle of Nanjing to Oahu, but they did not stick to the rules, but made flexible changes according to local conditions, such as trenches and trenches. Fang Xianjue based on the actual situation of Oahu A very successful defensive trench was designed, which made it difficult for the enemy to approach or climb. It was later called the "Chinese trench" by the US military. The underground or semi-underground positions and firepower points made the Nanjing Army's personnel, weapons, and communication networks more accessible. The survivability has been greatly improved. The U.S. military’s attack on Oahu has hardly achieved any substantial results. The more than 5000 tons of bombs and shells dumped by the U.S. military on the island before the war only caused negligible damage to the Nanjing Army. Hundreds of casualties.

After the battle broke out, the Nanjing Army defending the island, as a whole, started running at full power like a huge and sturdy machine. The personnel of various units and arms who knew Oahu Island and the battlefield well had a clear division of labor. Fighting with all their strength, logistics personnel, medical personnel, transport personnel, and communication personnel performed their duties in an orderly manner in traffic trenches or tunnels extending in all directions.

The wounded officers and soldiers were quickly carried away by the medical staff and carried to the field hospital also located underground for rescue. The remains of the dead were also carried away and carefully collected. Sufficient ammunition was transported continuously and continuously. Going to the various combat positions, the cooking soldiers also carried the rice and soup buckets back and forth in the traffic trenches or tunnels to deliver freshly prepared lunches between the positions.

When the Nanjing Army launched a counterattack against the U.S. Army, it was already lunch time. The officers and soldiers fought while eating. The food was very rich, not inferior to the U.S. Army at all. Rice, steamed buns, steamed buns, sesame seed cakes, meat sandwiches... everything was available, and the variety of dishes was also very good Complete, pork, mutton, chicken, fresh fish, marinated salted fish, kelp...everything, and there are all kinds of canned or fresh fruits, sugar cane, bananas, pineapples, coconuts...as for cigarettes, tea, coffee, beer and other items, the supply is also opened to the officers and soldiers, truly achieving "adequate logistics".

Although the Nanjing Army's counterattack only "used half or even less than half of its strength", especially the seven "Paoshan Mountains" built by the Nanjing Army into large-scale three-dimensional strongholds on the east, west, and north sides of Pearl Harbor basically did not fire much. The U.S. troops who went ashore still felt that they had "fallen from the world into hell all of a sudden."

Looking down from mid-air, the Nanjing Army's land defense lines in the shape of two semi-arcs on the east, west, north, and east sides of Pearl Harbor and the three sides of Honolushan Mountain in the northwest are like two galaxies shining with dense bullets. The sound of the explosion was so violent that it was completely inaudible, as if ten thousand firecrackers were ignited at the same time, with the sound of shells exploding like bamboo shoots after a rain, the bullets of countless supersonic shuttles gathered into a torrential rain of death. Poured towards the American crowd entering the area covered by the firepower net, the countless shuttle bullets flying across the air were like countless dazzling beams of light, intersecting and criss-crossing in a fan shape.

The rain of bullets from the Nanjing army was like a thousand arrows, instantly turning tens of thousands of U.S. troops into hornet's nests submerged in the rain of blood and flesh.

Regarding the horror scene at that time, Lieutenant William Jones of the 2th Regiment of the 8nd Marine Division, one of the survivors of the first US landing force, described: "...Suddenly, the Chinese counterattack started, almost without any warning, At one moment, the surroundings were still quiet, as if they didn’t exist at all, we were walking slowly on the beach of Oahu, but the next moment, we heard the huge waves of them firing at us with countless guns It’s like a TV that presses the mute button and turns the sound to the maximum, then suddenly presses the mute button, a huge sound gushes out all at once, without a buffering process, the air and our eardrums are covered by this The sudden loud noise tore apart, and in fact, many people died before hearing the terrible sound.

We were so unprepared that we could hardly see where they were, only that we were in front of, behind, to the left, to the right, and even above our heads were the countless bullets they were pouring on us.

The sound pouring into my ears was as if two water pipes were inserted into my earholes and filled with water. In addition to the gunshots that broke the sky, there were also many people's screams, cries, With the sound of howling, the crowd continued to fall, and blood fountains, clouds of blood mist, and even pieces of meat and internal organs were shockingly splashed from their bodies.

I heard that horrible sound, the sound of the German MG machine gun firing, as sharp as tearing linen. The brother troops fighting against the German army in the European battlefield called the MG machine gun "Hitler's chainsaw". Here, We are being attacked by hundreds or more of 'Hitler's chainsaws' at once, the MG machine guns are firing so fast, the hordes of these machine guns are converging into an unavoidable rain of bullets, we are totally getting ripped off, I think On the nearby hillside, there were also many machine guns and machine guns shooting at us condescendingly. I was almost desperate. I thought I was going to die, just like countless people around me.

..." After being counterattacked by the Nanjing Army who was waiting for work and with extremely strong firepower, the U.S. military immediately suffered heavy casualties. In the blink of an eye, the number of U.S. military casualties soared from single digits to four digits. As well as sufficient ammunition, the Nanjing Army violently counterattacked the American troops who landed on the shore and were basically exposed on the seaside beach open space or in areas without cover. The original picturesque Pearl Harbor and Honolulu became the world together. hell.

Wherever the firepower network of the Nanjing Army went, pieces of American troops danced like electric shocks, and then fell to pieces. The scene was extremely bloody. After being penetrated, the head is smashed, the brains are splashed, and the person who is hit in the chest and abdomen by the bullet immediately bursts into the intestines and bleeds profusely. The tissues and the internal organs were smashed together by the bullets, and the internal organs that had become rotten meat flowed out of the bloody holes. Those who were hit by the bullets immediately lost their limbs as if they had been amputated. Blood gushed from the wrist, and the whole person fell to the ground like a robot suddenly cut off...Under the storm of firepower, all the places where the US military gathered turned into a large slaughterhouse, and the bloody wind was like a tornado sweeping across a tomato field. The intact U.S. military immediately turned into puddles of crushed red that splashed all over the ground or sprinkled the sky like a smashed glass bottle filled with ketchup in the firepower network of the Nanjing Army.

Pieces of U.S. military crowds fell down like wheat under the rollers of a harvester, and were twisted beyond recognition like paper men thrown into a shredder. The scene was so bloody that it could even be described as "spectacular". .

The Nanjing Army had sufficient ammunition, and the bullets were like splashing water. The U.S. troops shrouded in the dense and impenetrable firepower net of the Nanjing Army were miserable and desperate. Cross flow, or wounded not dead, wriggling, struggling, howling and screaming, the American soldiers who were shot sprayed shocking blood mist, the crowd was submerged by the rain of blood mist, meat pieces flew horizontally, blood mist was like clouds, and the dead Heaped up with wounded U.S. troops on land, on the beach, at the foot of the mountain, and by the sea. Wounded soldiers writhing in the pile of dead, bleeding and horrifying. English howls were deafening amid the rain of bullets. Waipio Peninsula, Honolulu urban area, Ai Bay, Wapeo Peninsula...all became a sea of ​​corpses, with severed hands and feet flying in the air, bloody mist of flesh and blood, and corpses scattered all over the ground, and the corpses were huge. Most of them were beaten incompletely and torn to pieces. In the pile of dead people, among the pools of mud and blood, the undead and wounded U.S. soldiers shouted and ran in a mess.

Accompanied by the rain and storm of bullets from the Nanjing Army, there were also hail-like shells from medium and light artillery, flying sand and rocks, and rolling in wind and thunder. The U.S. troops at or near the explosion point were blown to pieces, and the U.S. troops a little further away were either overturned by the blast wave or smashed to pieces by the shell fragments in the blast wave. His whole body was battered or his hands and feet were blown off, and he cried out in pain after falling to the ground.

The artillery shells of the Nanjing Army were fired endlessly, because the artillery shells of the Nanjing Army were as abundant as the bullets. On each position, dense shells flew continuously, and the dead and living American troops continued to fly into the sky. Under the joint strangling of the rain of artillery shells, the area where the US military is located can be said to be exposed to the bones.

"Hit! Hit hard!" The officers shouted hoarsely on the Nanjing Army's positions and in the bunkers.

The transport soldiers kept bringing buckets of cold water, and the machine gunner poured cold water on the machine guns that were reddened by continuous full-speed firing, and puffs of white gas evaporated.

The Nanjing Army's counterattack was very efficient. The snipers first shot and killed important personnel such as US military officers, machine gunners, artillerymen, and signal soldiers. Has a lot of ammo.

After the Nanjing Army launched a counterattack, Lieutenant General Buckner, Lieutenant General Vandergrift and other commanders of the U.S. ground forces were stunned, and then heartbroken. They saw that the sea water in Pearl Harbor was "changing from clear to The azure blue turned pink", the military reporter described, "It is unimaginable that places such as Ewa Beach, which was originally a resort, have completely turned into a killing hell at this time. It is certain that even if the war is over, Ewa Beach will never be seen again. It will not be a resort anymore, because the sand on the beach has been dyed red, countless people died there, there will be skeletons in the sand and in the sea, it is also a spooky place under the sun, where can it be again For vacations, the beach is simply a human slaughterhouse and a human meat processing factory.” Almost every inch of the area where the U.S. troops landed was within the range of the Nanjing Army’s machine guns and under artillery fire. inside".

Major General Jonathan H. Smith, commander of the US Marine Division [-], personally participated in the attack. He raised his arms and shouted to his subordinates who were in unprecedented chaos: "There are only dead and dying people on this beach! Those who don't want to die, come with me!" After talking about being the first to rush into the dense rainstorm machine gun fire net of the Nanjing Army, lying on the ground or hiding in stones, tanks and cars, the American officers and soldiers were inspired and started charging together. The officers took the lead and led the team forward, " Hide here like a coward, or fight to the death like a hero, you choose!" Amidst the impassioned slogans, some US troops overcame their fear and braved the blast of shells and the heavy rain of bullets Moving forward, when the U.S. troops who landed later jumped out of the ship, they found mutilated dead people around and under their feet. "There is a nightmarish picture by the beach, a large slaughterhouse, a meat grinder, a blood mill... these words It is simply not enough, scattered corpses are scattered all over the beach." "The Chinese machine gun firepower network is dense to the point of saturation, and the shore seems to look up at the sky in heavy rain, but what falls from the sky is not raindrops, It's the bullets that kill people." "It's disgusting. Most people are dead or motionless. The wounded soldiers are struggling and wriggling in the blood. Some people are crying and some are cursing. The chaos is beyond words. The people in front were flying blood and flesh one after another, and hurriedly lay down to avoid the bullets, and at the same time lost the courage to rush out.

The Chinese artillery shells kept falling, blowing up a large fountain-like column of water on the water, and a towering fireball and smoke column on the land."

Major General Smith and other senior U.S. military officers looked at their troops and the situation they were in with great pain: they were slaughtered almost side by side, the road ahead was full of chain fortresses, and the troops were exposed on the beach or on flat ground, completely used by the opponent. The firepower network was covered, and the firepower of the Nanjing Army was so violent that it could be called a rainstorm. There were so many American soldiers killed and wounded all over the mountains and plains.

Major General Smith and other senior U.S. military officers had to admit that their side not only greatly underestimated the strength of the Nanjing Army, but also greatly underestimated the intelligence of the Nanjing Army. Waiting for work at leisure, the firepower point on the mountain is condescending, forming a firestorm with no dead ends, which makes the U.S. military almost powerless to parry. "Some U.S. military officers ordered soldiers to attack with them, but almost no one responded.

The soldiers were stunned, their minds were completely dazed, they forgot their combat skills, the weapons in their hands, and the responsibilities on their shoulders, and only the thought of 'I want to hide here' was left in their blank minds", "In the pile of dead people, some American soldiers screamed stupidly like sleepwalking, threw away their equipment, danced... doing all kinds of inexplicable things, and some American soldiers seemed to be out of their minds, but Sitting on the beach with their hands and feet spread out, they couldn't move their limbs, and they didn't answer the shouts of others. These fixed targets were shot and killed one after another, and the consequences of being frightened were only a dead end. Some American soldiers were even driven crazy by fear, screaming and running around on the beach, and were basically killed.

The tanks and armored vehicles that came ashore were the saviors in the eyes of the infantry. When they saw their own tanks and armored vehicles coming up, the American soldiers who were beaten up by the Nanjing Army were like chickens being chased by dogs. Old hens swarmed over to hide behind the tanks, which gave them an unprecedented sense of security. After all, the terrible thing about being exposed to the enemy's firepower net was that they could not get the slightest sense of security at all, and they would die at any time.

People urgently need a sense of security in this environment, even if they bury their heads in the sand like an ostrich.

However, such instinctive behavior further led to the death landing. Every American tank crowded with a large number of infantry behind it became the concentrated artillery fire target of the Nanjing Army. After a series of shells flew, the tank was blown into pieces. The burning scrap iron and the infantry crowd behind the tank were blown away in large swaths.

... "

Seeing that the ground troops were severely injured by the Nanjing Army and unable to advance or retreat, Admiral Halsey, the commander-in-chief of the US fleet, contacted Lieutenant General Buckner, the commander-in-chief of the US ground forces, and asked if the ground troops needed naval artillery fire assistance.

"Naval guns? Are you kidding me!" Lieutenant General Butner was in a rage, "There are so many of us there! If the naval guns fired a volley, the number of our own people killed would greatly exceed the number of Chinese killed!"

Because a large number of ground troops have already landed and are close to or even mixed with the Nanjing Army, the US fleet can only provide "burst-fire" artillery assistance, which is very ineffective.

"Pass through Ford Island, go through!" Major General Smith, who was at the front line, keenly discovered that the firepower of the Nanjing Army showed a two-line attack. Because of the limited range, the central area would be less hit. If the US military tried to pass through the urban area of ​​Honolulu , Huaianai Mountains, and Kolau Mountains will only be suppressed by the firepower of the Nanjing Army and will not be able to advance, causing huge casualties. Only the middle passage can pass through, so he issued the "middle road breakthrough" order.

There is an island in Pearl Harbor called Ford Island. On the island, there is Ford Airport, one of the six major airports in Oahu. During the occupation of Oahu by the Nanjing Army, Ford Airport was used by the Nanjing Army. The carrier plane exploded into scorched earth.

The U.S. military, which suffered heavy casualties, began to gather its forces, and with the help of Ford Island's transit, it advanced from the waterway in the middle of Pearl Harbor to the hinterland of Oahu Island.

According to Lieutenant General Butner's request, Admiral Halsey dispatched a number of light cruisers and destroyers to take great risks into the Pearl Harbor waterway to provide fire assistance to the ground troops passing through Pearl Harbor nearby.

However, the Nanjing Army had already deployed a lot of mines in Pearl Harbor, so five U.S. warships struck mines and exploded in succession, including a light cruiser and two destroyers. The bombardment of many artillery pieces of the Nanjing Army finally sank in Pearl Harbor.

"A large number of U.S. troops are entering the southern hinterland of the island through Ford Island!" Inside the Nanjing Army General Command, Sheng Wen looked at the reports of various troops with joy.

"Very good! Our strength is controlled just right!" Bao Changyi was very excited, "The U.S. military was beaten while not giving up completely! Now, the Yankees are going to have a good drink! As long as the U.S. troops on the beachhead are prevented from continuing to penetrate into the island The U.S. military that has poured into the interior of Oahu Island is a turtle in a urn that is hard to fly!"

Fang Xianjue excitedly picked up the phone: "Artillery unit, prepare to fire! Block the beachhead and inland US troops!"

On the cliffs halfway up the hillside of Sun Wushan, Wuqishan, Jianggongshan, Baiqishan, Wangjianshan, Lianposhan and Limushan, which surround Pearl Harbor on three sides, huge boulders are slowly hoisted amidst the roar of machinery. The heavy iron gate behind the boulder is exposed. Behind the iron gate is a large space that has been hollowed out inside the mountain. A large-caliber heavy gun slides along the track to the iron gate, which is the entrance of the tunnel, under the traction of a high-power diesel engine. The muzzle of the gun glared at the U.S. troops on the sea, on the beach, and on the ground below the mountain.

Beside the heavy artillery, the shirtless and sweaty artillerymen were busy urgently, checking equipment, aiming at the target, or carrying shells, waiting for the order to fire.

Some of these large-caliber heavy artillery were powerful naval guns, which were the main naval guns of the American battleships that sank in Pearl Harbor after the Japanese army sneaked into and captured Hawaii. It was time for them to go into battle again.

At the same time, the aviation unit of the Nanjing Army on Oahu was also fully dispatched. Waves of tough fighter jets escorted waves of torpedo attack planes, and dive bombers roared out of the underground hangar, piercing through the clouds and fog. Pounce on the U.S. fleet on the sea.

Chapter 739 Bloody Battle Island (3)

The core battlefield of the "Battle of Hawaii" between the Nanjing Army and the U.S. Army is Oahu Island, but the battle area is not limited to Oahu Island. The other seven big islands that belong to Hawaii are destined to play a major role in this battle. It even became a battlefield. When the U.S. army officially attacked Oahu, the other seven islands were already under the control of the U.S. military, but the Nanjing Army was lurking on the other seven islands. As a result, the U.S. military had no land-based airports to use after the war, which in turn prevented the U.S. land-based air force from participating in the war until the Seven Islands Airport was repaired (the U.S. military raced against time to repair the Seven Islands Airport immediately after the war, lurking in Nanjing on the Seven Islands The military is paying close attention to it all the time. If any airport is found to be completed soon, the hidden personnel will immediately notify the Oahu defenders of the information and let them look for opportunities to destroy the airport). The US military has 13 aircraft carriers and more than 50 escort aircraft carriers (not all US escort aircraft carriers are on the front line in Hawaii, because the escort aircraft carriers are essentially "large transport ships made into light aircraft carriers with the ability to take off and land carrier-based aircraft", Not only have to transport aircraft to the aircraft carrier, but also transport other materials, so some US military escort aircraft carriers carry out transportation tasks on the route between Hawaii and the west coast of the United States, and did not directly participate in the war), so many aircraft carriers and escort aircraft carriers, one-time It can carry more than 2800 carrier-based aircraft, which greatly exceeds the more than 1300 aircraft of the Nanjing Army on Oahu Island.

Judging from the numbers alone, the number of U.S. military aircraft is more than twice that of the Nanjing Army, and it has an overwhelming advantage. US military aircraft.

First of all, Nanjing Army aircraft are all land-based aircraft, while U.S. military aircraft are all carrier-based aircraft. Based on the aircraft carrier's flight deck, it cannot be "too big and too heavy". If the carrier-based aircraft is "too big and too heavy", the aircraft carrier will be difficult to accommodate, and the aircraft carrier's flight deck cannot meet the take-off and landing of large and heavy aircraft. Therefore, Carrier-based aircraft must be designed to be "smaller and lighter", subject to restrictions that many land-based aircraft are not subject to, thus inevitably sacrificing a lot of aircraft performance); The jet aircraft with the most advanced technology and the strongest comprehensive combat effectiveness further compensates for the disadvantage in the number of aircraft with quality.

Facing the overwhelming number of U.S. carrier-based aircraft, the Nanjing Army on Oahu Island has a strong air force to fight back, and it is completely "fightable".

However, on the matter of "what to fight", Yang Peng, the deputy chief of staff of the Nanjing Army on Oahu Island, and Lu Chenghao, the commander-in-chief of the aviation unit of the Nanjing Army on Oahu Island, had a lot of differences. First of all, the two had the same view: modern warfare Regardless of land or sea warfare, air supremacy is the key. After all, the number of Nanjing Army aircraft is limited. It is impossible to kill all the warships of the US fleet in one go. We must concentrate our forces on attacking the most critical warships. Attack the US aircraft carrier and escort aircraft carrier; secondly, the two had a dispute, should our aircraft give priority to attacking the US aircraft carrier or the US escort aircraft carrier?

Lu Chenghao said: "We still have the ability to compete with the U.S. carrier-based aircraft fleet, but when the U.S. military has a land-based airport on the Seven Islands, we will be completely suppressed, so we must attack decisively! Seize the opportunity to gain the maximum result in one breath! It is our top priority to try to sink one or two US aircraft carriers, or even more aircraft carriers!"

Yang Peng shook his head: "I don't agree with the US aircraft carrier as a priority target, we should attack the US military's escort aircraft carrier!" He analyzed, "We all know that the United States is very powerful, and its industrial productivity is even more powerful. For example, the escort aircraft carrier , It is entirely the result of the mass production of the American shipyard assembly line. In order to speed up the production speed of this kind of warship and increase the output, the Americans simplified its production process. Although the escort aircraft carrier is a warship, its design, structure, materials, etc. It adopts the standards of civilian ships, so its defense is very poor, so bad that it will sink after a dozen. The U.S. military itself calls the escort aircraft carrier a 'ketchup can'.

However, escort aircraft carriers are very practical in war. An escort aircraft carrier can carry [-] or [-] carrier-based aircraft, while a regular US aircraft carrier can carry about [-] carrier-based aircraft, that is to say, three to four An escort aircraft carrier is as good as a regular aircraft carrier.

If we can kill three or four US escort aircraft carriers, it will be equivalent to reducing one regular US aircraft carrier on the front line in Hawaii. Don’t forget, the escort aircraft carrier has very poor defense and is very easy to fight. The sum of the difficulty of killing three or four escort aircraft carriers is lower than killing A regular aircraft carrier.
