24. There is no way back
On the front line of Nauru Island, the shipwives have been stagnant since they suffered the loss of the minefield, and they are waiting for a weapon, a weapon that can change the current situation------ Golia's minesweeper. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info The bottom armor of this ship is very thick, and there is an electromagnet on the bottom of the ship. It can attract nearby deep-sea mines. This opens a way for the attacking forces in the minefield.
The operation was codenamed: 'Ice Cream'. At 3:40 a.m., without any artillery preparations, the Pacific Theater troops, led by hundreds of Goliath minesweepers, began to storm the minefield, and under the cover of night, the torpedo hit rate of the deep-sea submarines was much lower, because the Goliath minesweepers were flat-bottomed boats, and these torpedoes sometimes rowed through the bottom of the ship.
As the troops went deeper and deeper into the minefield. The deep-sea battleships finally opened fire, and they fired them with the belief that they would die. Sure enough, a few seconds later, the artillery fire from the Pacific theater of operations arrived as promised. The firing deep-sea battleship was sent into the sea.
At dawn, swarms of fighters took off from the aircraft carrier. Soon air supremacy was occupied, and the surface anti-submarine aircraft, under the protection of fighters, forced the deep-sea submarine out of the water, and the bombers whistled and dropped bombs on the discovered submarine.
On this day, Kaga wrote in his memoirs: "Thanks to the scientists in the rear, whose research allowed us to break through two kilometers in a matter of hours. I believe that soon we will break through the minefields and capture the heart of the deep sea, Nauru. ”
At this time, there was no disturbance on the island of Nauru, and the deep-sea battle goblins living in Nauru received their weapons at the recruiting office in an orderly manner. A handful of the most ordinary AK. The deep sea, which has the ability to operate at sea, is all sent to the second line of defense, and there is no shortage of warships in these deep seas.
The minefield provided time for the deployment of troops in the deep sea for the rest of the day. It was not until the next morning that the minefield defense line was officially breached. In his memoirs, Kaga wrote: "After that, our troops will be able to gallop freely in the sea without mines. ”
The fighting on the second line of defense was extremely fierce, and the deep-sea troops continued to fight despite the fact that they did not have air supremacy and were completely inferior in numbers.
During the day, there is a round of bombing by planes, and at night there is a night raid. Under these extreme conditions, the deep seas guarding the second line of defense held off the onslaught of the Pacific theater for a month. When the second line of defense was breached, everyone in the Pacific Governorate thought that there would be no more suspense in this war.
The third line of defense, on the eve of the battle. The battleships of the deep sea hugged their comrades at the end, in order to defend against bombing and shelling, the battleships of the deep sea were extremely scattered, all the ships were quietly chewing food, continuous fighting, the consumption was very large. And when the fire comes, you never know if you're eating your last meal.
"As soon as we dispersed, we began to pray that we could kill a few more enemies after this shelling. Then I heard a telegram from the reconnaissance submarine. This means that the enemy's fleet is approaching, but in time they are in range, and we can't shoot. We have to wait for orders. The air was about to freeze, and I saw that our commander was about to give the order to shoot. In order to boost morale, I shouted: Nauru in time behind us! We have no way back!!" ------CCTV9 "Interview with Veterans"
