I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II
Page 650
With the bombs falling from the sky and the torpedoes like arrows leaving the string, the US escort aircraft carriers with very weak defenses were blown up one by one by the land-based aircraft of the Nanjing Army into burning fireballs on the sea. Or the steel ruins slowly sinking into the sea. A total of eight escort aircraft carriers were sunk by the Nanjing Army's land-based aircraft in the second wave of attacks. Together with these eight escort aircraft carriers, more than 200 US carrier-based aircraft sank into the sea. And tens of thousands of tons of supplies, the Nanjing Army that achieved such a brilliant victory only paid the price of more than 100 aircraft.
After the good news came, there was cheers in the Nanjing Army Headquarters.
"We can't go back to the seaside!" Seeing Pearl Harbor turned into a sea of flames and the artillery shells of the Nanjing Army continuously falling towards Pearl Harbor from several mountains near Pearl Harbor, Vandergrift's face was tense and clenched. Grinding his teeth, "The bureaucrats in Washington killed us! We should have collected enough intelligence before launching this campaign! As a result...we launched the attack hastily without knowing the enemy's situation, and now it is completely We are surrounded by the Chinese! There are mountains on the east and west sides of Oahu, and we are trapped in the valley between the two mountains like mice in a bellows! As for the two ends of the valley, they are blocked by Chinese artillery fire Already!"
"Lieutenant General, what should we do now?" Ruperts, Smith and other senior officers asked eagerly for instructions.
"You can't sit here and wait for death! However, rushing to the sea is completely useless!" Vandergriff ordered decisively, "A vertical attack must be carried out! Concentrate our forces and rush to the mountains! As long as we can occupy a section of the mountains, we will It can not only tear a gap in the Chinese encirclement, but also reverse our terrain disadvantage, so that we will no longer be beaten in vain in the lowlands!"
Following Vandergrief's order, the U.S. troops trapped in the lowland valley in the hinterland of Oahu gave up breaking out through the north and south ends of the valley. In terms of military strength and firepower, the main force of the U.S. military launched a vertical attack and launched a mountain attack on the "Kunlun" and "Qinling" mountain ranges occupied by the Nanjing Army.
At the same time, the senior officials of the Nanjing Army are also intensively deploying a new offensive plan.
"Tens of thousands of U.S. troops have become the turtle in our urn. Although the results are fruitful, but if you want to eat these tens of thousands of U.S. troops, haste makes waste!" Inside the headquarters, Fang Xianjue pointed to the sand table, "The two major U.S. forces in the North and the South, I suggest defeating them one by one, first to eat the relatively weaker northern U.S. military, first to consolidate the foundation of the results of the war, second, to deter the U.S. military, and to damage the morale of the U.S. Army. At the same time, it also prevents our army from attacking on two fronts, resulting in insufficient strength and losing sight of the other!"
"That's right!" Bao Changyi followed suit, "For the southern U.S. military, we will temporarily use defense instead of attack to trap them. For the northern U.S. military, we will concentrate our elite troops, including our tank troops, to attack with all our strength and annihilate them! "
The north and south ends of Oahu were then engaged in fierce fighting.
In the northern part of the island, the tank units and nearly half of the infantry units of the Nanjing Army pounced on the U.S. troops trapped on the triangular beach plain in the north of the island amidst earth-shattering shouts of killing. The mountains on both sides of the valley climbed up the mountain in the face of the rain of bullets from the Nanjing Army. On the mountain, the Nanjing Army fought back with all its strength. The flares one after another shone bright white, and together with the explosion flames, half of Oahu Island was illuminated like daylight. The guns fired Sounds, explosions, roars, and howls resounded throughout the island of Oahu. One batch after another, the U.S. troops climbed up the mountain, and one batch after another was shot dead by the Nanjing Army and rolled down the mountain.
Chapter 742 Bloody Battle Island (6)
The Battle of Oahu can be said to be the "peak confrontation" between the armies of China and the United States. The American troops participating in the battle are basically front-line elites who have fought against the Japanese army for more than two years. After the United States entered the war, it continued to work with all its strength for more than two years, and it has been improved and strengthened with each passing day. The Chinese army participating in the war is also extremely powerful, because the Chinese army participating in the war is the essence of the Chinese army-the Nanjing Army, and these Nanjing Army troops are because of Jiang Weiguo. It has long been aware of the significance of this battle for the game between China and the United States and has been greatly strengthened before the war. It can be said that the Nanjing Army is the essence of the Chinese army, and the Nanjing Army on Oahu is the essence of the Nanjing Army.
Although night has fallen, Oahu Island is as bright as day, because the US fleet at sea and the Nanjing Army on the island are doing their best to launch flares. A bird's-eye view of Oahu Island shows a spectacular scene: the sea around the island and the On the land of the island itself, a string of flares shining bright white light rose one after another, densely packed and numerous, like a star river. In the words of soldiers participating in the war, "There are more than two hundred flares in each time period. In the sky of Oahu Island, there are like two hundred small suns shining at night. Some flares rise straight into the night sky like fireworks, and then fall slowly, and some flares streak across the night sky like shooting stars, and then Slowly sinking into the distance, and the falling flares are supplemented by the newly rising flares, so that the flares in the night sky maintain an endless and continuous saturation, and the brightness is so strong that it cannot even last for a long time. look up".
Because both sides fired a large number of flares, night did not become a truce for both sides. On the contrary, the battle became more intense after nightfall.
On the triangular beach plain in the north of the island, officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army, which accounted for three-fifths of the total number of the Nanjing Army on Oahu, were put into the battle against the North American Army on the island. Five or six Nanjing Army "Paoshan" on the east, west, and south sides of the triangular beach plain area poured artillery fire at the North American Army with all their strength. The overwhelming shells blasted the entire northern beach of the island into a sea of flames, and the whole island of Oahu was shaken. The night sky, which was originally shining with white light, was illuminated by the artillery fire of the Nanjing Army.
In the sea of flames, the U.S. troops were bombarded with wolves and screaming for land. The artillery shells from the Nanjing Army continued to rain down, and the U.S. troops were flying blood and flesh one by one. Looking down from the Paoshan Mountain of the Nanjing Army, the triangular beach plain in the north of the island showed a A frightening scene: the soil will not burn, and the trees have been cut down by the Nanjing army, but the northern part of the island is full of raging fires, because the artillery shells will explode into a ball of fire after falling, and the Nanjing army's artillery shells It kept falling and exploded the fireballs blooming everywhere, and the countless fireballs gathered into a monstrous sea of fire, forming a hell of a sea of fire. The blast wave of the hurricane engulfed a large amount of ashes, smoke, and dust to form a day. The smoke screen in the dark moon is like a horrible scene like a volcanic eruption. The volcanic ash covers the sky and the sun, and the ground covered by the thick smoke is fragmented and the magma is flowing. It is conceivable to be in the situation. A direct hit caused groups of people to be smashed to pieces and ashes in an instant. Some U.S. soldiers were a little farther from the explosion point of the shell, and a large piece of flesh and blood flew across it. With broken hands and feet, although some American groups are far away from the explosion point of the shell, they were killed by the shock wave and shock wave after the shell exploded, or were killed by the shell fragments and stones flying at high speed in the air wave, or His five internal organs were ruptured and his seven orifices bled from the shock wave of the explosion.
Constantly falling shells, constantly exploding fireballs, whistling air waves, dancing shell fragments, bloody and incomplete corpses everywhere, rotten flesh and pools of blood scattered all over the place, blown to The U.S. military in mid-air, the U.S. military running hysterically amidst the broken corpses trying to avoid or call out to their companions, the U.S. military crying out of extreme fear and despair, the U.S. military crying and laughing because of a mental breakdown... together form the The extremely tragic scenes that made the U.S. military survivors of this sea of fire and hell unforgettable all their lives, some surviving U.S. troops said afterwards: "During our battle with the Japanese army, although the Japanese army also had artillery units, their number of artillery was far inferior to that of the Japanese army. We, so we have always used the sea of fire tactics to ravage the Japanese army to our heart's content, but now, we who are used to using the sea of fire tactics to ravage the enemy have tasted the painful feeling of being ravaged by the enemy with the sea of fire tactics. The Chinese artillery fire is not lost to us at all. And their heavy artillery are all on the mountain, so they can bombard us condescendingly, and the lethality is even worse. Surviving this death storm is undoubtedly a miracle!"
The artillerymen of the Nanjing Army who participated in the war all performed well, especially the artillery at the grassroots level. Expendable ammunition.
It is precisely because of the reasonable deployment of the artillery group and the large number of artillery and sufficient shells that the artillery units of the Nanjing Army killed and wounded an astonishing number of U.S. troops. It is conservatively estimated that two-thirds of the U.S. troops wiped out by the Nanjing Army in the north of the island were killed or injured by the artillery fire of the Nanjing Army ( Artillery is known as the "God of War". This title is by no means an exaggeration. As a reference, in the battle of Shangganling, which is well-known to Chinese people in later generations, although all the volunteer infantry who participated in the battle fought bravely, 70% of the casualties of the US and South Korean troops in this battle were Caused by Volunteer Artillery.
) during the shelling that lasted for more than an hour, the artillery units deployed by the Nanjing Army in the north of the island fired more than 96 rounds of various types of artillery shells at the U.S. Army, killing and wounding Claudius, the deputy commander of the U.S. [-]th Infantry Division. A large number of U.S. troops, including Brigadier General Claudius Miller Easley, basically destroyed the complete organizational structure of the North American Army on the island, leaving them completely in a state of disunity and fighting on their own. Immediately afterwards, the artillery of the Nanjing Army The group began to extend their shooting, bombarding the beachhead and the sea, cutting off the channel for the US troops on the island to escape to the sea and to reinforce the island. The U.S. military launched a ground offensive.
This is a battle of chopping melons and vegetables like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, and the wind and the clouds.
Amidst the icy shouts of killing in Chinese that made the US officers and soldiers cry, tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers poured down like mudslides from more than a dozen peaks and many mountains surrounding the beach on the north of the island on three sides. The mountain, which was dug like a beehive and ant nest, drilled out of the mountain continuously through hundreds of tunnel exits. The scene was like hundreds of sewer exits spraying iron streams, and finally formed overwhelming raging waves and avalanches with the momentum of hundreds of rivers entering the sea. The U.S. troops who were pressing down the mountain were overwhelmed.
Under the illumination of artillery fire and flares, all over the mountains and plains are densely packed German helmets and bayonets rushing towards the US troops.
"Brothers, kill!" "For the motherland!" "For General Jiang Weiguo!" Amidst the sound of killing resounding through the night sky, the Nanjing Army and the US Army launched a real face-to-face confrontation in the northern part of the island full of corpses, bomb craters, and scorched earth. .
Although most of the U.S. troops who participated in the war were combat-experienced elites who had fought against the Japanese army for two years, facing the Nanjing Army's offensive like a tiger descending the mountain, the U.S. Army, which had been bombed by the Nanjing Army's artillery, suffered heavy casualties, and had a chaotic organizational system, had nothing to do. The power of parry is almost collapsed at the touch of a finger.
Under the blazing flames and shining flares, the Nanjing Army with high morale everywhere was chasing and killing the U.S. troops fleeing like a wolf.
"Hands up! No harm!" The officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army who were chasing down the U.S. troops yelled their pre-practiced English.
Seeing the Nanjing Army rushing over, some U.S. troops raised their hands tremblingly with earthy faces, and some U.S. troops put up a stubborn resistance, and then fell under the rain of bullets from the Nanjing Army. Basically, there was no hand-to-hand combat or fighting Hand-to-hand combat, because both sides are equipped with excellent weapons and sufficient ammunition, and the Nanjing Army has long been prepared for this, because both sides have excellent weapons and sufficient ammunition. Although the U.S. military also has tanks, most of them have been bombed to pieces by the artillery fire of the Nanjing Army.
During the fierce battle, there were scenes of Nanjing army tanks or armored vehicles rushing into the crowd of American troops and shooting down the American troops.
On the beach, a small tank battle broke out between the Nanjing Army and the U.S. Army. More than 30 American Sherman tanks were gathered to try to break out of the encirclement. They encountered a tank company of the Nanjing Army, which had two King Tigers. tanks, 2 Tiger tanks and 2 Panther tanks.
After meeting on a narrow road, the tanks of the two sides fought steel and steel like two groups of heavily armored cavalry charging each other. The flywheels of the tanks started, the exhaust smoke billowed, and the tank guns fired vigorously amidst the breathtaking roar. The two groups of tanks In an instant, there was lightning and thunder, and the tank shells roared and flew across the sky. The Nanjing army tank hit by the Sherman tank shell was almost unscathed. U.S. tanks, without exception, were pierced through the armor by shells, and the tank turned into a big fireball that exploded violently.
The two sides clashed for 5 minutes, half of the US tanks were destroyed, and the wreckage of the burning US tanks collapsed in the fighting area. The Nanjing army tanks did not lose any, and continued to rush towards the US tanks with great momentum.
After seeing this scene, the U.S. armored soldiers who "bullied" the Japanese tanks and were "accustomed to bullying" were all dumbfounded, and then turned around and fled at full speed in the fear of being out of their wits, only to be destroyed one by one by the Nanjing Army tanks.
The battle situation on the land in the northern part of the island is basically one-sided for the Nanjing Army. The Nanjing Army fought bravely and wiped out the U.S. troops with great gusto. Fight bravely.
Using Oahu Island as a bait and trap, the Nanjing Army successfully lured more than [-] U.S. troops into the valley in the hinterland of Oahu Island, and then adopted the "destroy one by one" tactic, concentrating its forces to gather and annihilate the weaker North American Army on the island first, and then Looking back to gather and annihilate the stronger U.S. forces in the south of the island, although the high command of the U.S. military was caught off guard, they have come to their senses over time. Under Nimitz's strict orders, Hal, who is in charge of commanding the U.S. surface fleet, Xi hurriedly mobilized a number of capital ships, concentrated in the northern waters of Oahu Island, and used naval guns to fully reinforce the trapped U.S. troops on the northern land of the island. land and sea passages, or withdraw the North American Army from Oahu or reinforce more American troops to the north of Oahu.
At this time, more than a dozen US battleships, including 6 battleships, were cruising on the northern seas of Oahu, constantly roaring overwhelming artillery fire to the northern land of Oahu.
Absolutely unable to bear the disastrous defeat of tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of people being annihilated all at once. The mountain area controlled by the Nanjing Army bombarded artillery shells, and its shelling power was more than ten times that of the Nanjing Army artillery group bombarding the US landing troops, which caused great threats and losses to the Nanjing Army. After receiving orders to counterattack, a large number of The troops of the Nanjing Army had just emerged from the mountain when they were blown to pieces by US naval artillery shells.
Compared with the hasty performance during the day, the U.S. fleet is active at night at this time, because after nightfall, it is difficult for the U.S. carrier-based aircraft and the land-based aircraft of the Nanjing Army to attack, which makes the U.S. fleet so "unscrupulous".
"The Yankee fleet saw that it was dark, knew that our planes could not be dispatched, and they thought we had no sea power, so they were so rampant.
However, they are wrong, because Oahu has us, and they will pay a heavy price for their misjudgment and ignorance of our existence!" On Kaena Beach in the northwest corner of Oahu, the tenth Chinese navy Chi Changfeng, the captain of the torpedo boat wing, looked at his subordinates who were fully equipped and ready to go, while in the forest behind them, torpedo boats were being towed from the land to the sea.
The Nanjing Army has naval forces stationed on Oahu Island. In addition to the naval aviation unit, there is also a torpedo boat force (the Chinese navy submarines operating in the waters near Oahu Island do not belong to the Oahu Nanjing Army sequence), forming a wing , there are a total of more than 60 torpedo boats, all of which are of the "Waspie 3" class. Compared with the Wasp 1 equipped and used by the Chinese Navy in the early days of the Sino-Japanese War, the Wasp 3 at this time is more advanced in technology and performance, and faster. Faster, with greater endurance and stronger attack power, a Wasp 3 can carry two heavy-duty Japanese Type 2 oxygen torpedoes with a caliber of 610 mm, and the German "Vampire" infrared sight ( Germany successfully developed the world's first infrared night vision device at the end of 93), shooting accuracy and night combat ability have been greatly improved (the defense of the Wasp 1943 has not been improved, just like the Wasp 3, because the improvement of the torpedo boat's Defense is pointless).
Since the Battle of Oahu began, the Nanjing Army was unable to compete with the U.S. military for sea control, so the U.S. military immediately took control of the sea. Therefore, these torpedo boats of the Nanjing Army were dragged to land in the mountains and forests for tight concealment. Therefore, these torpedo boats and the torpedo boat soldiers driving them will undoubtedly become the killer of the Nanjing Army's nighttime raids on the U.S. fleet.
"Although our Chinese navy now has aircraft carriers, battleships, cruisers and other big guys, torpedo boats are still our magic weapon and signature skill!" Chi Changfeng said in a firm tone, "Don't look down on torpedo boats! Our enemies can look down on them Torpedo boats, that's what we wish for. They look down on them, so we can inflict heavy damage on them. We can't look down on ourselves.
Brothers, which army had the highest death rate during the Sino-Japanese War?It is our Chinese Navy torpedo boat force.
However, one of the troops with the most brilliant results is also us!Back then, we relied on this gadget to beat the Japanese navy, which was far stronger than ours, and suffered heavy losses. Now, we can still beat the US Navy, which is far stronger than ours, to the death and suffer heavy losses!As long as we don't forget our traditions and spirit, we can write a new and glorious chapter in the history of Chinese military warfare!Brothers, get ready to strike! "
"Yes!" The torpedo boat soldiers were all bright-eyed and passionate. They knew that their death rate after participating in the war was extremely high, but they had no regrets or regrets, because they had lofty beliefs.
A total of fifty Wasp 3 torpedo boats were thrown into this death squad-like sea raid.
In order to maximize the concealment in the process of approaching the US warship, all torpedo boats are painted dark blue (dark blue is better than pure black to blend into the night without being discovered, and the torpedo boat is driving on the sea, the sea water and the night There is poor coloring, so the torpedo boat cannot be painted pure black), and the torpedo boat crew also wear dark blue combat uniforms.
Following Chi Changfeng's order, the fifty torpedo boats, like fifty torpedoes, galloped wildly across the sea at a super-high speed like arrows flying off the string, and were constantly firing on the northern sea of Oahu Island towards the land in the northern part of the island. U.S. fleet.
The battle process was exactly the same as the Chinese navy's torpedo boats attacking the Japanese fleet in the early days of the Sino-Japanese War. The Hornets first scattered and rushed to the predetermined target, and quickly formed an attack formation when they approached the predetermined target.
Due to the raging flames on Oahu Island, the flares in mid-air one after another, the visibility is not low, and the searchlights on the U.S. warships also shine on the sea from time to time (the U.S. military is not guarding against the torpedo boats of the Nanjing Army, but the submarines of the Nanjing Army). The army's torpedo boats were discovered during the charge, but because the Wasp 3 was very fast, the U.S. fleet was cruising in the coastal waters relatively close to Oahu in order to ensure the accuracy of the bombardment. , The US capital ship listed as the target by the Nanjing Army torpedo boat has also entered the torpedo range of the Nanjing Army torpedo boat.
"Shit! What is that?"
When they saw the torpedo boats of the Nanjing Army coming at such a fast speed, most of the American sailors couldn't believe their eyes. Soon, their voices of surprise turned into horrific shouts:
"Fuck! Torpedo!"
The torpedoes fired from the torpedo boats of the Nanjing Army burst into earth-shattering fireballs one after another on the steel bodies of many US warships.
Chi Changfeng and other torpedo boat officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army implemented the principle of "breaking ten fingers is worse than cutting off one" when formulating attack targets. They did not want to sink multiple U.S. battleships, but only wanted to sink one. Although the sinking of a capital ship is not a big loss to the rich and powerful U.S. military, it is enough to shock the psychology of the top U.S. military, forcing them to dare not act recklessly in the ensuing battles or even fall into a mentality of being paranoid and paranoid.
The target targeted by Chi Changfeng and other officers and soldiers was the USS Missouri, the third ship of the US Iowa-class battleship. According to statistics, 5000 torpedo boats and [-] torpedoes are enough to sink this ship with a full load displacement of more than [-]. Tons of warships, but the Missouri is not a target without resistance. This giant ship itself has guns as dense as a forest, and there are many cruisers and destroyers closely protecting it, and there are many nearby ships. Battleships and a larger number of escort warships rushed to the rescue, and wanting to sink it was no less than "taking the head of an admiral among ten thousand armies."
In this regard, the Hornets of the Nanjing Army relied on the spirit of seeing death as home and the tactics of carrying out their own responsibilities and closely cooperating. Sixteen torpedo boats under the command of Chi Changfeng himself assumed the final attack mission, and the other 34 torpedo boats would With his own fragile body, he undertook the mission of attracting the attention and firepower of the US military and clearing obstacles on the way forward for the sixteen companions. , When it is completely safe to go back, it will not turn around and evacuate or leave the battlefield, but will continue to rush left and right in the firepower net of the US warship, thereby attracting the attention and firepower of the US military, covering and supporting the sixteen companions.
There is no doubt that this tactic is the most effective, but it is also extremely tragic.
Many U.S. troops who have witnessed the death squad-style offensive tactics of the Chinese Navy torpedo boat formation have left indelible memories of this. A naval chef on the Missouri and the first black soldier to receive the U.S. Navy Cross S. Miller described: "...the Chinese torpedo boats remind me of the honey badger on the African savannah, the kind of little thing that weighs less than thirty pounds, but has unparalleled courage and dares to be bigger than them. Dozens of times lions and leopards fight.
Yes, those Chinese navy torpedo boats of only a few tens of tons rushing toward the tens of thousands of tons of Missouri are a group of sea honey badgers, even if they are constantly smashed to pieces by our naval guns and machine guns, even if They were repeatedly knocked over and sunk by warships guarding the USS Missouri. Even though they had finished firing torpedoes, they still rushed towards us one after another as if they were dead. Their fearless courage not only made us feel terrified, but also made us feel awe Respectfully!"
Only one-third of the fifty Hornets who fought bravely were able to return, but they once again created the miracle of "small boats beating big ships". A total of six US warships were hit by torpedoes launched by the Hornets. Injured, three ships were seriously injured and sunk, including a light cruiser, a destroyer and the battleship Missouri, the key target of the Hornets. Entered more than 30 nautical miles north of Oahu.
The USS Missouri was also the third heavy capital ship lost in the Battle of Oahu.
Washington, the White House.
In the presidential office, Roosevelt looked at the latest report sent to him with indescribable loss and fleeting anger. After a long while, he put down the report weakly and sighed bitterly: "Do I really want to Lost to Jiang Weiguo?"
The seven or eight high-level U.S. military and political leaders in the office looked at each other, all showing shame, self-blame, and solemn expressions.
Roosevelt was not as easily agitated as Hitler and Chiang Kai-shek and would get angry and curse at people at every turn. However, his sigh made many high-ranking Americans present feel even more uncomfortable after being scolded.
"Mr. President, although I don't know much about the navy, naval warfare, and the Pacific War situation, but..." Admiral Marshall seemed very sincere, "I personally think that we can no longer fight hard with the Chinese in Hawaii. On the one hand, it will consume us. On the one hand, it also wastes our time, and finally let the Japanese get the maximum benefit quietly.
Mr. President, we are only competitors with the Chinese, but we are enemies with the Japanese, and we can’t put our priorities in the same place!”
"Of course I understand this truth!" Roosevelt lit a cigarette with a deep expression, "It's just that the war has already begun, and it's not so easy to end it..."
"No, it's easy!" Admiral Marshall said, "The high-level Chinese leaders are actually very afraid of us. It's what they want. As long as we give generous benefits, we can end the Oahu battle at this time!"
"What is the ending?" Vice President Wallace asked rhetorically, "We evacuate Oahu, give up attacking Oahu, occupy the seven islands, and acquiesce in the Chinese occupation of Oahu, so as to share Hawaii with the Chinese? Or, China People withdrew from Oahu and returned Oahu to us? Will the Chinese make such a big concession when our tone softens?"
"This..." Admiral Marshall was a little speechless. He knew that it would be very difficult for the Chinese army to evacuate from Oahu after the war began, but it was also difficult for the United States to share Hawaii with China, especially The most important island of Oahu fell into the hands of the Chinese army.
It can be said that the United States is now riding a tiger.
Roosevelt was silent. Obviously, he also felt a faint dilemma in his heart. Although the Battle of Oahu just started for one day and one night, the beginning has clearly proved that it is not easy for the US military to capture Oahu. Pay a very heavy price.
Chapter 743 Bloody Battle Island (7)
Facing the menacing and overwhelmingly superior U.S. forces, the Nanjing Army on Oahu did not engage in a desperate tactic that was tantamount to suicide like the Japanese army did.
At the military meeting before the war, Fang Xianjue analyzed: "Although the U.S. military is strong, it also has two weaknesses, one is time, and the other is casualties.
The U.S. military cannot spend too much time on Oahu, because they still have the Japanese, an opponent that needs to be solved more. If they spend too much time on us, the Japanese will be the biggest winners in the battle of Oahu; Because of the idea of 'human rights supremacy', it is difficult to accept too heavy casualties.
In this battle, there are two results that are victorious for us. One is to repel the US military and defend Oahu. As long as Oahu is in our hands, we will pinch the "testicles" of the giant of the United States. China and the United States The situation is well known. The Americans used to beg us to participate in the war against Japan. Now that we have started a war against Japan, the Americans have nothing to ask us for, and we no longer have a large stake in the Sino-US game. The bargaining chip, therefore, the island of Oahu, which is very important to the United States and in our hands, is our biggest bargaining chip in restricting the United States. If it is not lost, this island will allow our country to continue to hold a larger position in the Sino-US game The initiative, the strategic value of this island is extremely great, even if it is sold to the Americans, it can sell at least several billion dollars. It is no exaggeration to say that Oahu Island is to the United States what Taiwan Island is to China. value; the second is that Oahu was occupied by the U.S. military after killing a large number of U.S. troops. Although this result is not as good as the first one, it is also greatly beneficial to our country, because we let the Americans know through this war that they want to take it from us. There is a heavy price to be paid for walking on a tiny island, let alone occupying our country?It is conceivable that the top leaders of the United States must be deeply jealous and afraid of us from now on, they dare not easily start a war against China, and completely give up the idea of fighting China after destroying Japan, because although China is not as good as the United States, the United States cannot afford to provoke it of! "
The tactics launched by the Nanjing Army on Oahu at this time are the product of this kind of strategic thinking.
The "triangular beach plain" in the north of Oahu Island (the Nanjing Army called it the "North Island Delta") was completely turned into a sea of fire and corpses and a sea of blood in the fire storm of the Nanjing Army. More than three-fifths of Nanjing The troops of the army were put into the encirclement and suppression of the North American army on the island. The artillery fire was in full swing, and the Chinese shouts of killing shook the sky and pierced the clouds.
On the mountains on both sides of the beach plain, densely packed Nanjing army officers and soldiers poured down like mudslides, stepping on the corpses of the US soldiers, running and charging, chasing and killing the already frightened US troops all over the mountains and plains in the beach plain, time passed Two years later, the Nanjing Army fought face-to-face with the U.S. Army again.
Under the dark clouds of gunpowder and smoke, the roar of Chinese was like thunder covering the howling of ghosts and wolves in English. The Chinese soldiers with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin charged like a pack of wolves, and the American soldiers with yellow hair, blue eyes and white skin were routed. Type weapons burst into flames bursting into flames like raindrops, and blood mist like red clouds flew over the U.S. officers and soldiers. There were lightning, thunder, and blood rain everywhere, plus the shells of the Nanjing Army Artillery Group that kept falling like meteorites. The tanks of the Nanjing Army, which are fast, fast and almost invincible, jointly compose a magnificent and magnificent war march belonging to the Chinese soldiers.
In the words of Turner, the commander of the U.S. Third Army: "Since the United States entered this world war, it is the first time that so many U.S. troops have died in such a short period of time in such a small place!"
The low-level officers and soldiers of the US military on the fleet were all dumbfounded by this scene, and they couldn't believe their eyes. The senior officers were all in a hurry.
The commander-in-chief of the fleet, Halsey, eagerly sought out Buckner, the commander-in-chief of the ground forces and the commander of the 10th Army, and offered assistance: "The troops in the northern part of the island are being slaughtered! Do you want my fleet to concentrate its firepower on the northern part of the island? "
Buckner said angrily: "Covered by artillery fire? We have tens of thousands of boys fighting with the Chinese there! How can it be covered by artillery fire? Do you want all of our boys to be buried with the Chinese?"
If Halsey and Buckner were the Soviets or the Japanese, they would most likely have given the "fire cover" order, because "exchanging" more than twice as many enemy troops with more than 1 of their own is "very cost-effective", but they Americans can't do this kind of thing.
Since the Nanjing Army hid in well-established and solid underground fortifications when launching defenses, and fought in a melee with the US military when launching an offensive, this caused the US military to have a powerful fleet and sea and air firepower, but they could not play a role, and could only watch. "Looking at the island and sighing".
