The Imperial Navy was urgently dispatched to assemble troops to prepare for the military operations and battle plans of the American army。。。。。。。

The United States, under the command of Roosevelt, mobilized the 2nd Marine Division of the United States Marines, the 1st Division of the United States Marine Corps, and the 7th Division of the United States Cavalry, numbering more than 60,000 people。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

On June 10, 1945, the 2nd and 4th Divisions of the U.S. Marine Corps adopted the landing tactic of "striking east and attacking west" to deceive the Japanese army: the Marines crossed the narrow strait by ship from Saipan Island in the north, and under the incessant bombardment of Tinian Island by the U.S. Navy fleet, the fire covered the landing of the marines, causing the Japanese defenders in the north of the island to really hit the plan, and sent reinforcements to attack the 100 amphibious landing craft of the 2nd Division in the southwest, but before they landed, the 2nd Division turned ships at sea and landed in the northwest of the island. The first wave of 150 amphibious landing craft of the 4th Marine Division of the U.S. Marine Corps landed successfully northwest of the island at 7 o'clock later;

However, the U.S. military also suffered casualties due to the Japanese defenders' fierce shore artillery counterattack when the Japanese shore artillery was 200 meters nearshore: the battleship USS Colorado (BB-45) and the Norman Battleship. The USS Scott (DD-690) was hit by Japanese 6-inch guns from the shore: the USS Colorado was hit by Japanese guns with 22 shells, killing 44 American sailors; Norman. The destroyer USS Scott was hit 6 times by Japanese shore guns, Captain Seymo

e Owe

S and 22 other U.S. soldiers on the same ship were killed.

When the US troops landed on the northwest coast, the four brigades of the Japanese army urgently deployed multiple 75mm caliber mortars to attack the landed US troops, resulting in the death of 15 soldiers and 220 US troops on the spot by a brigade of the 4th and 2nd divisions of the US army at the time of the landing. The U.S. casualties were minor, proving that the Japanese were weak in defensive firepower.

The Japanese army adopted the same tenacious island defense tactics as Saipan, hiding and resting during the day and looking for the American army to fight at night, and 2,500 Japanese soldiers launched a night battle to attack the American army late on the night of the 24th, but the American army kept firing flares into the air, causing the Japanese army to lose the advantage of night battle and retreat, and the American army also destroyed 4 Japanese tanks and killed 2 Japanese captains and company commanders.

On June 15, the 2nd U.S. Division also landed and joined forces with the 4th Division to attack south; The Japanese army recruited 3,500 local island residents aged 16 to 45 and divided them into 6 teams to deploy defenses along the center of the downtown area of the island to resist the US army, and the US army fought from the 25th to the 30th to defeat the local militia and continued to pursue the Japanese army.

On June 20, after the pursuit of the U.S. troops had swept to the south, the Japanese army abandoned the only freshwater well on the island, and retreated to the last Japanese defense line in the north of the island. Late that night, the commander of the Japanese Army on the island, "Keishi Ogata", informed Lieutenant General Hidera Obata (also a few days later in the Battle of Guam on June 25) that the commander of the 31st Army of the Japanese Army on the outer islands had made a final phone call: expressing his determination to die to the end;

The Battle of Tinian was also the first U.S. Air Force airdrop of condensation in the Pacific Campaign, with 120 pieces mounted on throwable jettisos

KS), of which 25 are napalm mixtures, and the rest are petroleum-gasoline mixtures; The projection mission was carried out by the P-47 fighters, 14 of which were duds, and the combat conclusion was that the solidification *** was extremely effective in burning the enemy's surface camouflage, and the aircraft could use machine guns to effectively strafe after burning the enemy's camouflage; Because the island is full of trees, the US military has already planned to build an additional runway on the island, so the air-dropped incendiary bombs will be used to organize the ground in advance to gain time.

Because the U.S. troops were too close to the Japanese anti-Japanese guns about 300 meters away, the U.S. destroyers were attacked by heavy artillery fire, the destroyers were seriously damaged, and the soldiers on board killed a lot of Japanese shells, and the battleship Kolo was hit by artillery fire and caught fire one after another, and 50 people on the battleship died, and the battleship was also attacked by Japanese field artillery, and more than 40 marines were killed in the battle, and the captain was killed.

The Japanese army began to launch the jade crushing plan, and the allusion to the word jade crushing comes from the Chinese "Northern Qi Shu Yuan Jing'an Biography" in the phrase "the big husband would rather be a broken jade than a complete tile". It means that instead of living like a complete brick and tile, it is better for a man to die a heroic death like a broken jade. The earliest word for jade shattered appeared during the Pacific Campaign in February 1942, when the 20th Infantry Wing of the 16th Division, which participated in the attack, was ambushed by the United States and the Philippines and almost all of its members were killed. The first mention of jade crushed by Japanese officials (base camp) was during the Battle of Attu Island in May 1943, and since then the Japanese military has frequently used jade crushed jade to boost the morale of its own troops and describe the heroic tenacity of the Japanese defenders.

The historical record of the Japanese army's Jade Crushing Plan campaign shows that it was a painful price.

Through these data, we can see that the thinking of the Japanese national army is extremely extreme, and the atmosphere of violence is very strong, and there is a kind of brainwashing thinking for these people, such as organizing death squads, Japan has been attacked by the United States, and it is powerless to attack and can only defend passively. In order to turn the tide of the war, Japan formed a kamikaze death squad. Since then, this death squad has entered the annals of world history, and the people of the world are very curious about this death squad.

This Death Squad is a death squad formed by teenagers under the age of 20 to carry out suicide attacks. We are amazed by his devotion to his country and his spirit of defying life and death.

What impressed us the most was the scene of kamikaze boys, pilots, fighter jets and US warships dying together, which not only frightened us. How can human life be a child's play, and kamikaze drones are real suicide attacks, there is no way back but to advance, what makes them so loyal to the emperor, why should this death squad be called a kamikaze?

Japan occupies the right time and place, and is only a country of war, honor, and fanaticism, and perhaps victory is the best explanation.

Why is Japan called a kamikaze? Genghis Khan was the leader of the Mongol tribes, and after unifying other tribes, all of them were collectively called Mongolia, and later conquered dozens of countries on the Eurasian continent and became the country with the largest continuous land area in the history of the world.

After the establishment of the Mongol Empire, the Great Song Dynasty was also included in its territory, and later began to crusade against Japan.

Japan is facing an enemy that is unique in history, because the Mongol Empire is so powerful that it has no rival and is the only one, but the next target of the Mongol Empire is Japan.

In the face of such a powerful opponent, Japan was very calm and did not sue for peace with Mongolia, and the war was about to start.

The Mongols are fierce beasts in the steppe, but not necessarily at sea.

In fact, hundreds of thousands of Mongolian troops went to Japan twice, but basically they did not fight the Japanese soldiers head-on, because the sea was prone to typhoons, and in the end Mongolia was not defeated by the Japanese, but was defeated by the typhoon, and suffered heavy losses, and the casualties were very huge. Under such circumstances, the Mongol Empire ushered in a groundbreaking defeat.

However, the Japanese were so angry that Japan later turned this typhoon into a kamikaze, and this incident has been publicized to this day, and it is the most glorious period of Japan's military history. And when forming a death squad, the most glorious kamikaze title was used as the name of the daredevil, which was the kamikaze.
