I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II
Page 649
The U.S. carrier-based aircraft fleet can't pose a substantial threat to the Nanjing Army. The U.S. fleet cruising on the sea is being attacked by the Nanjing Army's land-based aircraft fleet. Not only are the losses quite serious, but the fleet's position has been disrupted. The fleet was too busy defending itself. Naturally, there was not much extra power to launch powerful air strikes and Haitian naval artillery strikes against the Nanjing Army on Oahu. The main source of heavy firepower for the attacking US troops on the ground was ground artillery and tanks. However, Because the personnel, materials, and firepower of the Nanjing Army were all underground or semi-underground, the hail-like shells fired by U.S. artillery and tanks caused a slight blow to the Nanjing Army.
After putting down the binoculars, Fang Xianjue showed a relaxed smile.
Compared with the relaxed smile on Fang Xianjue's face, the expression on Vandergrift's face was much more serious.
The area of Oahu Island is not small, and there are two mountains with continuous peaks on the east and west sides of the island close to the sea, which causes the island to present a "concave" shape in cross section. Obviously, when you board the island and go to the island The U.S. Army conducting assaults in the hinterland can only advance in the valley in the middle of the "concave". Almost nothing is known about the defense system on the island. However, Vandergrift has initially noticed that the tactics of the Nanjing Army are "invite the king into the urn first, and then close the door to beat the dog." A large number of American troops are constantly pouring into the hinterland of the island. In the valley, as long as the Nanjing Army blocked both ends of the valley, they could take advantage of the terrain to gather and annihilate the U.S. troops who had thrown themselves into the trap.
Such a situation can indeed be described as sinister. After realizing this, Vandergrift's mood immediately became heavy, and a deep sense of unease filled his heart, but he could not give orders yet Retreat, come on, the ground battle has just begun, how can you retreat hastily?Secondly, even if the situation is ominous, you should fight and try it out. If you do it well, you can make a good start. If you don’t do it well, you can also test out the strengths and weaknesses of the Nanjing Army’s defense system. The intelligence was collected in the actual combat; thirdly, this battle is the first time that the U.S. military has fought against the Chinese army after two years. Today, two years later, the U.S. military is fighting this war not only to regain Hawaii, but also to avenge the one-shot revenge of the year. How can they shrink back?In terms of military honor, the U.S. military has suffered defeats at the hands of the Chinese army. If it does not take revenge through a brilliant or even tragic victory, the U.S. military will always be under the shadow of the Chinese army. Therefore, the U.S. military will fight to the death. Sea of blood, as long as he can defeat the Chinese army and repay the humiliating defeat of the year, it is worth it. What's more, Vandergrift was once captured by the Chinese army in the Philippines. shame.
After putting down the binoculars, Vandergrift's face was tense and his eyes were firm. He made up his mind in his heart that "knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to travel to the mountains with tigers".
Vandergrift is now the commander of the 1st Amphibious Army of the U.S. Army, commanding the [-]st Marine Division, the [-]nd Marine Division and the [-]th Army Division. Among them, the [-]st Marine Division is his old unit, and he was previously the commander of the division The division commander, the division and himself were nearly wiped out by the Chinese army on the Philippine battlefield that year. In the past two years, the division and himself fought against the Japanese army on the Australian battlefield. The division has undergone a radical sublimation transformation, and Vandergrift himself has been promoted from division commander to army commander.
The First Marine Division at this time is by no means comparable to the group of "newcomers" two years ago, and Vandergrift is full of confidence in his old troops.
Right now, the 500st Marine Division is the US military's deepest advance on Oahu. It has penetrated about ten kilometers into the island's hinterland. What stands in the way of the [-]st Marine Division is the building named "Yue Fei" by the Nanjing Army. For a mountain over [-] meters high, as long as the First Marine Division captures Mount Yuefei, the U.S. military will be able to seize the first commanding height on Oahu Island, and then allow the U.S. military to gain a firm foothold in the hinterland of Oahu Island. The meaning and value are naturally very huge .
More than a dozen U.S. carrier-based bombers hovered over Yue Fei Mountain, dropping bombs continuously, and the U.S. tank group that rushed to Yue Fei Mountain and the artillery group behind the U.S. tank group and infantry group also continuously poured shells on Yue Fei Mountain.
Yuefei Mountain was quickly blown to nothing. This was not entirely due to the fierce firepower of the US military, but the trees and vegetation on Yuefei Mountain had already been cut down by the Nanjing Army. Firstly, the Nanjing Army needed a lot of wood to build fortifications. Avoid the fire caused by bombs and shells on the mountain and then threaten the Nanjing Army on the mountain (the Nanjing Army has considered that the US military may launch a fire attack, because if the vegetation on the mountain is lush, once the US military deliberately sets fire, the fire and smoke will definitely burn to death. A large number of people on the mountain Nanjing Army).
In fact, not only Yuefei Mountain, but also "as long as there are densely wooded places" on Oahu Island were "pushed bald" by the Nanjing Army, making Oahu Island a living replica of Nanjing City and Zijin Mountain before the Nanjing Battle Although such behavior is simply ruining the picturesque scenery here, the officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army don't care - anyway, it is not a place for us Chinese, and there is nothing to feel bad about this world-famous tourist attraction even if it becomes a desert outside the Great Wall.
Before the first Hawaiian battle, the aerial photos of Oahu showed that the island was "densely forested like the sea, lush and lush". Such changes are naturally a "good thing" done by the Nanjing army on the island. Thousands of towering trees on the island have even grown for hundreds of years, but they were all cut down by the Nanjing army without mercy. , which made the Americans heartbroken.
"Go! Go! Go!"
"Be careful!"
"Keep moving!"
Amidst the hoarse English shouts and the roar of steel tracks crushing the ground, dozens of Sherman tanks and more armored vehicles, amphibious tanks, and amphibious armored vehicles covered tens of thousands of U.S. marines and roared to the ground. Yue Feishan.
When the two sides entered the range of each other's firepower together, Yue Feishan, who was silent under the bombardment of the U.S. military, seemed dead, erupted and resurrected, and the sound of gunfire and bombs and shells exploded on the battlefield like a storm. In an instant, it was like a variation that ushered in the most magnificent climax. Dozens of American tanks and armored vehicles leading the way all turned into flaming scrap iron amidst the earth-shattering roar of Chinese and the violent explosion like a thunderbolt. Anti-tank gunfire like flying fire and meteors was continuously shot from the ground, some were flattened [-] anti-aircraft guns, and some were anti-tank rocket launchers. No false shots, shooting stones and drinking feathers, thunder and lightning, and flesh and blood flying all over the place, the American tank hit by the [-] shells was instantly smashed to pieces together with the armored soldiers inside the tank, and the American tank hit by the anti-tank rocket was dazzling. In the white light, the armored soldiers in the tank crawled out of the tank in full of flames amidst the heart-piercing and horrific screams. The U.S. infantry crowd behind the tank was killed by the flying steel fragments from the tank explosion and fell down in a large piece.
Amidst the screams and howls of English, more shells and bullets hundreds of times the number of shells are overwhelmingly pouring towards the U.S. military with Yue Feishan as the three-dimensional core, and the semicircle-shaped firepower net is opened up, killing the U.S. soldiers on their backs. .
The Chinese army in [-] was no longer the army with inferior weapons, scarce ammunition, serious lack of training, and even the soldiers were poorly clothed and hungry before the Sino-Japanese War eight years ago. , not to mention the Nanjing Army, an iron-blooded force that condenses most of the essence of the Chinese army.
Compared with the navy, the Chinese army is far inferior to the U.S. military. Compared with the air force (or aviation), the gap between the Chinese military and the U.S. military is also very large. The advantage of the U.S. military, even if the advantages in numbers and the quality of individual soldiers are put aside, the weapons, equipment, and firepower of the Chinese Army are still comparable to those of the U.S. military.
Facing the sea of fire tactics of the U.S. military, the Nanjing Army fought back the sea of fire with sea of fire without showing any weakness.
On the island of Oahu, the Nanjing Army was beating the U.S. army head-on with ease and waiting for work, so that the U.S. military had a solid taste of the firepower that was much stronger than the Japanese army and full of German-style firepower.
With Yue Feishan as the focus, tens of thousands of Nanjing troops and U.S. troops distorted into a huge vortex of firepower. For a time, the sound of killing shook the sky and the flames of war soared into the sky. The U.S. Army poured its brains on the Nanjing Army, and the Nanjing Army poured its bullets on the U.S. Army like a storm. Countless rifles, submachine guns, machine guns, artillery, tank guns... roared out so densely that they could not hear A death rage without a sound.
From the very beginning, the battle became fierce like red-hot steel. The bullets in mid-air were almost saturated, and blood flowed quickly in the battle area. Because the firepower of both sides was extremely strong and violent, scenes of spectacular cruelty appeared on the battlefield. An unbelievable scene: The Hawaiian Islands are full of flora and fauna due to the four seasons of summer and fertile water and soil, especially insects. There are tens of thousands of species of butterflies alone, and the number is immeasurable, and the local flowers are blooming all year round. Originally There are "butterflies among flowers" everywhere. In the sea of bullets and fire that the Nanjing Army and the U.S. Army are rushing towards each other, countless flowers and countless butterflies dancing in the flowers are smashed into colorful fragments flying all over the sky by bullets. The flowers and the dead butterfly fragments are flying like fairies in the rain of bullets. The soldiers on both sides are full of broken flowers and butterflies falling down, forming a strange war scene of "flying flowers like rain". As for the stumps of trees felled by the Nanjing Army all over the mountains and plains, they were all hit by bullets and covered with dense potholes like honeycombs; almost none of the soldiers who fell were hit by a single bullet, almost all They fell down after being hit by multiple bullets, and some soldiers were even hit through by the same or the same shuttle bullet because they were in a straight line.
"The firepower of the enemy and us is like two storms mixed together. I am afraid that God will be terrified in it." William Henry Ruperts, the commander of the First Marine Division, described, "In such a terrible situation, Not being shot in a net of firepower is like trying not to get raindrops in a storm!"
"Order the artillery on the top of the mountain and the artillery on the top of the nearby 'Hanxin Mountain', 'Huo Qubing Mountain' and 'Wei Qingshan' to bombard the rear artillery group of the US army. The heavy firepower of the US military must be eliminated!" After raising the binoculars again, Fang Xianjue ordered calmly.
Tang Renbin, who was standing beside Fang Xianjue, asked, "That's it?"
"that's it!"
"Don't you cover the US tank group and infantry group with artillery fire?"
"No need!" Fang Xianjue showed a confident expression, "U.S. tanks do not pose much threat to our army, as for U.S. infantry, they are already vulnerable, so there is no need to waste precious shells.
We are alone guarding an isolated island, as many shells are destroyed as there are fewer, save some money, and be prepared for a long-term battle!"
"Yes!" Tang Renbin hurried to the telephone, picked it up and conveyed Fang Xianjue's order.
The firepower intensity of the U.S. Army and the Nanjing Army has reached world-class levels, but the Nanjing Army has a great terrain advantage and an impenetrable defense system. Most of the bullets and shells poured by the U.S. Army on the Nanjing Army have been absorbed by the mountain soil. Without damaging the personnel, lines of defense, materials, and firepower of the Nanjing Army under the soil layer of the mountain, the bullets and shells poured by the Nanjing Army on the U.S. army solidly bloomed among the American crowd. The firepower point group and the artillery group even bombarded the U.S. military from a high position. After a rain of artillery shells and steel, the U.S. ground artillery was all blown into burning scrap iron and molten iron, the torn corpses of U.S. artillerymen and the twisted and deformed U.S. military The wreckage of the cannon was thrown into the sky by the hot and powerful air waves in the fireball thunder, pieces of iron and meat flew together, and molten iron and blood flowed horizontally.
The core of the [-]st Marine Division of the U.S. Army is the [-]st Marine Regiment. The head of the regiment, Lewis Burwell Puller, is a typical "violent general". Nicknamed "Chester" (meaning proud), before attacking Yue Fei Mountain, because he was eager to wash away the shame of the First Marine Division, he made a mistake driven by his reckless character, and he led the whole regiment in the lead. Suppressing the Yue Feishan defense line of the Nanjing Army in an all-round way, and adopted a dense formation offensive tactic, his improper command brought a near-destructive disaster to the whole regiment.
Tanks could not climb the mountain. Puller led the Marine Regiment [-] to throw off the tanks at the foot of the mountain and climb up Yuefei Mountain. As a result, they were exposed naked to the lightning-like firepower of the Nanjing Army's migratory locusts.
In the overwhelming firepower net of the Nanjing Army, the First Marine Regiment seemed to have fallen into a meat grinder in an instant. The members of the First Marine Regiment who had been beaten into a hornet's nest by the bullets danced and rolled down the hillside, spurting blood all over their bodies. Yue Fei The southern slopes of the mountain are full of "US Marines rolling off the top like dumplings."
Some U.S. Marines who rushed near the defense line of the Nanjing Army and even jumped into the trenches of the Nanjing Army broke out in close combat with the Nanjing Army. Soldiers on both sides fired at each other face to face with sophisticated weapons. The crops fell under the harvester's wheels in sheets.
In just half an hour, the U.S. Marine Regiment, which took the lead, was almost completely wiped out. The corpses of the members were spread all over the mountainside and piled up at the foot of the mountain. The regiment leader Puller shot himself after being seriously injured. Before he died, he said tragically : "I don't want to be a prisoner of the Chinese for the second time. Even if I can evacuate, I can't face the families of so many dead marines!"
Due to a serious lack of intelligence and misjudgments, and a serious underestimation of the strength and determination of the Nanking Army on the island, the US military's first wave of attacks on Oahu suffered a disastrous failure, whether it was land, air or sea. Especially the most serious on land.
A surviving U.S. Army member of the Marine Regiment said afterwards: "...the bureaucrats who ordered the attack on Oahu should be sent to military courts, because they don't know the situation of Oahu and the enemy, let us go A fight to the death, too many people died worthlessly because of their stupidity.
Before the battle, we asked the commander 'how many enemies are there on the island', 'what is the island's defense system like', 'what is the enemy's weapons, firepower, and ammunition reserves on the island', but we didn't know anything.
Many people, including many military officers, are ridiculously optimistic. They think that the Chinese army on the island is not prepared at all, and has no intention of fighting, and most of the Chinese soldiers on the island have died from our naval artillery bombardment and carrier-based aircraft bombing. , which made us believe that before landing on Oahu, we were all relaxed, talking and laughing, just like going to Oahu for vacation, but it didn't take long before we woke up like a dream, we were actually walking into hell.
... Not to mention the solid and perfect fortifications that the Chinese army has built carefully and for a long time, but just talking about the Chinese army, we have a serious lack of experience in fighting it, and it is a completely unfamiliar enemy. During the two years of war, we thought that fighting the Chinese army was similar to fighting the Japanese army. However, the facts tell us that we were completely wrong. Although the Chinese and Japanese armies are both Eastern armies, they are very different.
In fact, the Chinese and Japanese armies do have many things in common. For example, they are mentally tenacious to the point of rigidity, resolutely refuse to surrender, and will fight with all their strength after being injured. They are very good at bayonet fighting, night battles, sneak attacks, etc., but the weapons of the Chinese army are much better than those of the Japanese army, and their firepower is much stronger than that of the Japanese army. We fought against the Japanese army to a large extent by relying on firepower superiority to win, but, The firepower of the Chinese army is much stronger than that of the Japanese army, and it is not inferior to ours at all. They even exerted a stronger firepower advantage because of their careful deployment... Major Jones was transferred from the European battlefield to the Pacific battlefield. He fought against the Germans After seeing the firepower of the Chinese army, he said in shock that it was on the same level as the German army.
Whether it is submachine guns, assault rifles or machine guns, the Chinese army has much more troops than the Japanese army, which has caused us great lethality.
In addition to this, the Chinese army is much smarter and more flexible than the Japanese army. The Japanese army likes to do stupid things like moths to the flame, such as rushing towards our machine guns in groups with bayonets, but the Chinese army never does it This kind of stupid thing, although the Chinese army is as tenacious and fierce as the Japanese army, it "cherishes life" more than the Japanese army. The Japanese army's tenacity and fierceness are largely a waste of life. Like the Japanese army, they like to do things for nothing. For example, when they are running out of ammunition and food, the Japanese army will take up bayonets and carry out suicide attacks. In the next battle, so that he can play a greater role and kill more enemies.
...we were led by the idiot officer, plunged into the pockets of the Chinese army, and then fell into hell, with the overwhelming firepower of the Chinese army in all directions and even overhead, we had nowhere to hide, and we were slaughtered side by side, China The various arms of the army cooperate seamlessly. Their snipers specialize in shooting our officers, machine gunners, gunners, signalmen and other important personnel. The infantry focused on killing us, with a formidable number of machine guns, and some weird new weapons we hadn't seen before.
... I was hit by two bullets, one broke my right collarbone and one went into my stomach. The pain and fear made me unable and afraid to fall into a coma. I desperately used the torn bullet Clothes slashed my wounds and wanted to leave, but I looked around and found in despair that my comrades were either dead or lying on the ground bleeding like me waiting to die. My [-]rd Battalion was wiped out , Battalion Commander Richard fell in three pieces and fell more than ten meters away.
Not long after, I saw Chinese soldiers in twos and threes coming out of their positions and began to clean the battlefield. I took my M1 Garand rifle tremblingly, and there was one bullet left in it. I didn’t have any Hesitant, ready to end my life with this only bullet, because I would rather die than fall into the hands of the Eastern army. On the Australian battlefield, I saw my companions fall into the hands of the Japanese army more than once, and they died horribly , were tortured and killed after being tortured heinously.
George, a lad from Oakland, California with me, had his right leg broken by a Japanese bullet during the Battle of Sydney, and fell into the hands of the Japanese, and when I saw him again, he was a broken man. His eyes were gouged out, his ears and nose were cut off, his teeth were pulled out, his hands and feet were cut off, his genitals were cut off and stuffed into his mouth.
The Japanese army would not treat the wounded American soldiers who fell into their hands at all, they would only brutally kill them, and even the corpses of American soldiers would be dismembered by the Japanese army.
1 times I don't want to end up like George.
However, just when I was about to shoot myself, I saw the medical soldiers with the Red Cross on their arms in the Chinese army who were treating Pete who fell not far from me, and Mike, Thomas, John, etc. were injured and did not die. companion.
I stared dumbfounded at this scene, then rationally gave up suicide, and waited for a Chinese medical soldier to wash my wound with disinfectant and asked two companions to carry me on a stretcher. Their military doctor performed an operation on me and took out the wound. Bullet, took good care of me.
Although the Chinese army is an eastern army like the Japanese army, they are not as inhumane as the Japanese army. They will treat the enemy's wounded soldiers and treat the enemy's prisoners well. This is another difference between the Chinese and Japanese armies.
... "
The First Marine Division of the U.S. Army, the Second Marine Division and the Tenth Army Division that assisted it fought against Yue Feishan and the Nanjing Army, including Han Xinshan, Huo Qubingshan, and Wei Qingshan, who were fighting against Yuefeishan. The large stronghold launched four full-scale attacks, all of which were declared failures, with heavy losses and huge casualties, especially the death of Puller, the commander of the [-]st Marine Regiment, which greatly shocked Vandergrift's psychology.
Seeing that it was already evening, if the troops were not pulled to the seaside for replenishment and the assistance of the fleet, it was obviously very dangerous for the troops to be trapped in the hinterland of Oahu in the middle of the night, so Vandergrift had to issue a retreat order in great pain , but he soon learned a piece of bad news that made him fall into the abyss.
"Lieutenant General, we can't withdraw!" Colonel Oliver Plains Smith, deputy commander of the First Marine Division, ran to Vandergrift's side with tears in his eyes, and reported to him an unbelievable incident. Bad news.
"Why can't we withdraw?" Vandergrift was shocked and angry.
"Pearl Harbor has been completely blocked by Chinese artillery fire!" Smith trembling lips, "Our road to the north through the valley is blocked, and our road to the south to leave the valley is also cut off!"
Vandergrift suddenly felt as if a basin of cold water was poured on his head.
On the mountainside of Yuefei Mountain, which is three kilometers away from Vandergrift, Fang Xianjue held up his binoculars and looked at the US troops trying to retreat, with a cold look on his face: "Since you are here, don't leave! No! When you are sick and want you to be sick, how long will you wait?"
"About [-] U.S. troops landed on the northern beach, and about [-] U.S. troops landed on the southern beach!" Sheng Wen walked up to Fang Xianjue, looked at Fang Xianjue, and showed a knowing look.
"These [-] U.S. troops who got into our pockets, we are sure!" Fang Xianjue gritted his teeth with fiery eyes, "Next, there will definitely not be such a good opportunity to annihilate the U.S. troops on a large scale , This is also the only chance for us to severely damage the US military on a large scale! We must succeed in one fell swoop! Kill these [-] US troops, and our [-] brothers will not lose even if the entire army is wiped out! It is enough!"
After nightfall, Oahu was filled with blood, and the Nanjing Army's full-scale counterattack broke out.
Chapter 741 Bloody Battle Island (5)
Later generations have these data: the U.S. military died a total of about 40 people (including combat deaths and non-combat deaths) during World War II, of which about 25 U.S. troops died in combat with the German army, and about 15 U.S. troops died Died in battle with the Japanese.
It is not difficult to draw a conclusion through these data: the overall combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is obviously inferior to that of the German army, and it also reflects that Japan's overall national strength is much inferior to that of Germany.
Not only that, but it should be noted that the United States has allies against Germany and Japan. Against Germany, the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union have assisted in the war, and against Japan, only China has assisted. More than ninety percent of it is used to deal with Germany together with the United States, and the national power used to deal with Japan is probably less than one-tenth of its total, because for Britain, Germany is far more threatening than Japan), in exchange for In short, the United States fought Japan with a weak ally (China), and only 15 soldiers died, but the United States fought Germany with two powerful allies (Britain and the Soviet Union), but 25 soldiers died.
Taking the US military as a reference, the Japanese army is "much easier to fight" than the German army.
What level of army is the Nanjing Army at this time?Needless to say, it was German-level, not Japanese-level.
The close cooperation between China and Germany, which lasted for eight years and is still ongoing, has made the essence of the Chinese army—the Nanjing Army completely "yellow-skinned German army". The weapon production line and tens of thousands of Soviet military experts further turned the Nanjing Army into a "mixed army with seven parts German and three parts Soviet style". If a general and popular description is made, the Nanjing Army is "Japanese Soldiers from Germany, tanks from Germany, and artillery from the Soviet Union", such a "trinity" army has a strong combat effectiveness, no doubt needless to say.
As for the U.S. military at this time, it can be roughly divided into two parts, one is fighting the Germans on the European battlefield, and the other is fighting the Japanese on the Pacific battlefield.
Since the German army was "much more difficult to fight" than the Japanese army, the U.S. military fighting in the Pacific battlefield was actually "a lot easier" than its companions fighting in the European battlefield.
Today, the U.S. military, which has always relied on its firepower superiority to "bully" the Japanese army on the Pacific battlefield, has "bullyed" the Japanese army and has "bullyed" it. Suddenly, it encountered the Nanjing Army, which was much stronger than the Japanese army and belonged to the same level as the German army. The consequences can be imagined.
On the Jianggong Mountain near Pearl Harbor, Wang Yecheng, the commander-in-chief of the artillery unit of the Nanjing Army on Oahu Island, raised his binoculars and looked down at the dense smoke and burning Pearl Harbor with a hearty mood.
A communications soldier trotted to Wang Yecheng's side: "Report! Commander Fang's order! The US military units that have penetrated into the hinterland of Oahu Island have been frustrated in their overall offensive and are showing signs of retreating to the beach. The artillery units are required to cover the US troops with full artillery fire. Landing site by the sea! Don’t let a U.S. military that has already landed on the island escape to the sea or on a warship, and don’t let a U.S. military on a warship continue to go ashore!”
"Understood!" Wang Yecheng continued to hold up the binoculars, and at the same time shouted orders to the artillerymen around him, "What are you waiting for? Let me go! Fire the cannon and hit his mother!" He raised his right hand to check the time, but it turned out that Glancing at the watch, he cursed, "Damn it! My Rolex was damaged again!"
"Aim at the beachhead US military and the materials unloaded by the US military on the beachhead, let it go!"
"Aim at the U.S. warships cruising in the coastal waters, let it go!"
"Let me go! Let me go hard!"
In the underground artillery positions of the Nanjing Army set up on the mountainside or on the top of the mountain, the artillery officers were all greasy, yelling the command to fire at the top of their lungs, chopping off their arms again and again, and waving command signal flags.
The artillery officers and artillerymen stuffed cotton balls in their ears to prevent the eardrums from being damaged by the powerful shock wave from the shells. The artillerymen who controlled the artillery were all shirtless and sweating profusely.
The Nanjing Army's tank combat is full of German style, while the Nanjing Army's artillery combat is full of Soviet style. From a bird's-eye view from mid-air, the four or five larger peaks standing on the land on the east, west, north, and east sides of Pearl Harbor are shaking violently. Shaking, hundreds of large-caliber heavy artillery protruded from an artificial cave on the mountainside and on the top of the mountain, pointing precisely and condescendingly at Pearl Harbor below. Some of these heavy artillery were German heavy artillery, some were Soviet heavy artillery, and some were American battleships, The guns of the heavy cruisers, all dismantled by the Nanjing Army from irreparable American warships after the First Hawaiian Battle, were now used to bombard their original owners.
There are dark artificial caves everywhere on the mountainside and on the top of the mountain (a heavy artillery has more than one nozzle, which is to prevent the original nozzle from being destroyed by the US military and have a spare nozzle), with scars and holes, and heavy artillery.
The sound of the heavy artillery salvo was earth-shattering. Several mountain peaks were like fiery trees and silver flowers, spraying fire like flaming flying dragons all over their bodies. Thunder and lightning continued amidst the gunpowder smoke, and waves of heavy artillery shells roared through the clouds and fog like meteors amidst the breath-taking sound of piercing the air, towards the southern landing site of the US Army with Pearl Harbor as its core and flat terrain. The world was turned upside down, and the fireballs that sprung up everywhere exploded.
Because of Jiang Weiguo's "God of Wealth", the Nanjing Army is now "extremely rich", and it has become "profligate" when fighting wars.
In the Battle of Pingjin seven years ago, Jiang Weiguo's artillery regiment fired hundreds of shells, which made Jiang Weiguo feel heartbroken. But now, the Nanjing Army's shelling intensity is dozens of times that of the Battle of Pingjin, and the shells are almost endless. The ground was blasted towards Pearl Harbor and other target areas, and the black mist and clouds of dust and gunpowder smoke covering the "cannon mountains" were filled with waves of artillery shells whizzing towards the US military, tearing apart like spider webs. The orange-red trail of bullet marks reflected the black mist and dark clouds, which glowed darkly like burning clouds.
Under such thunderous bombardment, Pearl Harbor, which was not damaged much in the first Hawaiian battle and had been repaired by the Nanjing Army, was devastated and beyond recognition, and suffered unprecedented damage. The sky collapsed, the sky collapsed, and the port facilities and buildings made of cement, steel bars, and concrete were all bombed into pieces by shells. Among the rubble and ruins, everything that could be burned was burning crazily, and there were so many craters. Like fish scales, dense and layered, the countless fireballs exploded by the rain of shells made Pearl Harbor a sea of flames, and the dense explosion shock wave formed a tornado-like air wave that howled and swept in all directions. A large amount of dust, debris, and ashes were swept into the In the sky, a huge cloud of smoke gathered like a sandstorm. Countless fragments of shells and gravel splashed all over the sky with the shock wave of the shells in the form of wind and thunder, killing the flesh and blood of the US officers and soldiers in an instant. Fog, rain of blood, puddles of meat.
In the vision of Wang Yecheng and other artillery officers of the Nanjing Army, the target area such as Pearl Harbor has completely become a hell-like restricted area of life full of death. The tragic and spectacular scenes are breathtaking.
In the dark smoke of the sun and the moon, the hill-like materials unloaded by the US military on the beach were all blown to pieces, scattered, and then burned. Especially after the ammunition and fuel were detonated and ignited, the explosion fireball It is said to be earth-shattering, and the countless columns of smoke rising from the ground like towering trees are even more towering. Tanks and armored vehicles of dozens of tons and dozens of tons were turned into scrap iron wreckage in the shelling. The Nanjing army is much smarter than the Japanese army. The importance of logistics to the combat effectiveness of the army is also the battle for the islands that resisted the landing of the US military. In Guadalcanal, the Japanese army only paid attention to killing and injuring US military personnel but ignored the logistics of attacking the US military. The large amount of materials on the beach turned a blind eye, but the Nanjing Army was different. The Nanjing Army was very aware of the truth that "soldiers and horses have not moved, food and grass go first", knowing that destroying a ton of U.S. supplies is more valuable than killing ten U.S. troops. Therefore, the Nanjing Army's heavy artillery The swarms preferentially bombarded the materials unloaded by the U.S. military on the beachhead of Pearl Harbor, which caused a sky-high fire. The fire in Pearl Harbor was caused by the fact that U.S. military materials were hit by Nanjing Army artillery shells.
After seeing this scene, Lieutenant General Richmond Kelly Turner, commander of the US 3rd Amphibious Army, said in great pain: "The more than [-] tons of supplies we transported from the United States and Australia have become like this. Burning ashes on the beachhead of Pearl Harbor! Vandergrift, who have landed on Oahu and penetrated deep into the island, can hardly get any follow-up supplies! Tens of thousands of tons of supplies and thousands of tons of fuel are burning. What scene? It's like hell!"
After the tens of thousands of tons of materials unloaded by the U.S. military on the beach were all burned, the heavy artillery group of the Nanjing Army calmly began to bombard the U.S. ships that were relatively close to the sea. The waves were monstrous, and the small-tonnage landing craft were destroyed one after another. Some were directly hit by the shells, smashed to pieces, and fell apart. The densely packed U.S. personnel above rolled into the sea like dumplings, and some larger-tonnage U.S. transport ships and warships were not spared, and smoke billowed immediately after being hit by shells. However, the naval guns of the American-made battleships and heavy cruisers in the hands of the Nanjing Army caused a great threat and damage to the U.S. warships. More than a dozen large U.S. ships were hit by the Nanjing Army's shells. Immediately, thunderbolts exploded, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
According to statistics, in this land-sea artillery battle between the Nanjing Army and the U.S. Army, a total of 1 large U.S. ships were hit by the artillery fire of the Nanjing Army, including 3 battleship, 5 cruisers, and many destroyers and transport ships. 1 ships were sunk, including 4 destroyer and [-] transport ships, and many other ships were severely damaged. As for the US light ships sunk and destroyed by the Nanjing Army, there were dozens of them. Some are landing craft and light transport ships that are too close to the shore.
Under the powerful bombardment of the Nanjing Army, the American troops on the beachhead suffered heavy casualties and suffered huge losses. Pink.
The squad leader of the machine gun squad of C Company, 27st Battalion, 1th Regiment of the US 500th Marine Division, and the famous US military hero John Basilone who became famous in the Battle of Guadalcanal said afterwards: "... This battle is simply a nightmare! Oahu It is a hell on earth! The Chinese are completely different from the Japanese! At the Lunga position in Guadalcanal, two wounded comrades and I used two machine guns to withstand the crazy attack of more than [-] Japanese troops. Although the Japanese army was crazy, they were stupid. They knew that they rushed towards our machine guns with all kinds of slogans, and they were shot and killed by us one after another like mowing grass with a lawn mower. But the Chinese are different! Not only are they the same as the Japanese The same fierce and powerful, and very smart! Their heavy artillery is on the mountain and inside the mountain, which can not only bombard us condescendingly, but also protect themselves from being destroyed by our artillery fire to the greatest extent.
When we landed on Oahu it was very easy, the Chinese almost didn't shoot a single shot, we naively thought that the Chinese were all dead or powerless to resist us, but after we got into their pockets, they used mountains and seas The artillery fire and the stormy shell fire tell us that they are officially playing with us for real!The 100st Marine Division has all gone deep into the hinterland of the island. More than half of our [-]th Marine Division went deep into the hinterland of the island with the [-]st Marine Division. Thousands of people, including me, were scattered on the beach. Not long after, it was like raindrops. The shells of the Chinese Communists blew us up to the sky, with nowhere to go and nowhere to go. There were shells raining on our heads, and bullets raining around us!One shell from the Chinese can even wipe out a company of us!I saw with my own eyes that E Company was completely wiped out by a heavy Chinese shell that fell from the sky! More than [-] young men who were alive and kicking just now turned into muddy meat all over the ground in the blink of an eye!We are like pigs sent alive to the meat grinder, with nothing to do but wait to die!So many elite marines who fought to the death with the Japanese and survived the battle with the Japanese died in a situation where they didn't even have a chance to resist!The screams almost covered the explosion of the shells. The shells of the Chinese continued to fall, and the marines were blown to pieces one after another in despair. Blast!In mid-air, all kinds of severed hands and feet, human heads, rotten human flesh, internal organs, and weapon fragments fell down. I have never encountered such a situation in fighting the Japanese!Never before have we encountered such a powerful, vicious, and shrewd attack!Some people ran desperately in the blood and mud, and were eventually killed by shells or sieved by bullets. Some tried their best to find a place to hide or hide, but it was in vain, and they were finally killed by shells. Flying into the sky, some people were knocked down by the shock wave of the shell, and then they were blown to blood by the next shell or spurted blood from the next shell before they got up. Praying, crying, and screaming on the ground are useless. In this hell, the brave and the cowardly are the same result. Some people even tremblingly raised a white cloth, crying at the top of their lungs, "I surrender!"Do not kill me!Don't fire at me', there are messy rotten meat, stumps, and human heads everywhere, screams, cries for help, and calls for medical soldiers, but the medical soldiers are too busy to take care of themselves, and people are constantly being shot and dying. The corpses that fell on the ground were shot continuously along with the living people, and the dead companions were smashed to pieces by the bullets... The same is true for the seaside. The sunken landing craft was overturned in the water, and the pink water was full of broken bodies and people struggling to swim. The drowned people were as vivid as wax figures in the water, and some marines died before they landed. At sea, they were bombed or drowned or killed by bullets. Some marines were killed by bullets in the landing craft just after they landed before they figured out what was going on. Very fast, like the scythe of death, we are constantly harvesting our lives. Too many marines were killed on the sea surface or in the landing craft as soon as they got out of the landing craft. Like a steel coffin stuffed with shattered corpses.
... "
Facing the hurricane-like artillery fire of the Nanjing Army, the U.S. fleet tried its best to fight back, but the effect was not great. The heavy artillery of the Nanjing Army was in underground bunkers. Unless the U.S. naval artillery shells hit directly, it would be difficult to effectively destroy them. The heavy artillery also bombarded the U.S. warship without fear, and there was no shelter on the sea. As long as the U.S. warship got too close, it was almost a live target for the Nanjing Army's heavy artillery, not to mention that the U.S. warship had to guard against Nanjing, which was fighting bravely in the sky. Army land-based aircraft.
After the first wave of attacks, the land-based aircraft of the Nanjing Army gave up attacking the regular aircraft carrier of the U.S. Army and instead attacked the escort aircraft carrier of the U.S. Army according to the predetermined plan. The actual situation proved that the land-based aircraft of the Nanjing Army was very correct. After land-based aircraft sank two regular aircraft carriers, the U.S. military was frightened. Its carrier-based aircraft and escort warships tried their best to protect the remaining regular aircraft carriers, thus relaxing the protection of the escort aircraft carriers. The base plane was caught off guard.
