Sasaki, Wing Commander of the First Wing of the Japanese Garrison Division in Guam, with the rank of Osa, yesterday morning, the sudden bombing by the Americans made Sasaki feel a little strange, because according to the latest intelligence from the command, the Americans had no intention of attacking Guam, but why did they bomb Kuah Island? (Historically, the Japanese command did not know that the Americans had landed forty or fifty hours after the US troops landed on Kuah Island)

When Sasaki knew that when the Americans landed, the Americans were already in front of them and had reached the airport, and Sasaki, who was still asleep, was pulled up from the bed by his deputy and knew that the Americans had arrived at his doorstep.

The Guam Garrison Division is at most a Class C division in the Japanese army, what is a Class C division? According to the classification of the Japanese troops in World War II, the Japanese troops can be divided into four grades: A, B, C, D.

Among them, the Class A division was a standing division of the Japanese, which existed before the outbreak of the war, when the Japanese army had more than 400,000 people and was divided into 17 standing divisions. Each division was about 28,000 people, which was the main force of the Japanese.

After the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War and the outbreak of World War II, the 17 standing divisions of the Japanese could not meet the needs of the Japanese war, so the Japanese expanded their recruitment, and the Japanese military service system at that time was relatively perfect, from the reserve, the reserve to the first supplementary army, the second supplementary army, and so on.

At this time, the soldiers recruited were basically retired veterans and young people who had undergone a certain amount of military training. Therefore, there is still a certain combat effectiveness, and this kind of division is not characterized as a B-level division.

The combat effectiveness of the B-class division is inferior to that of the A-class, and the deployment of the artillery wing and the cavalry wing has also been weakened. The number of divisions of the second class is also not large, which is also considered the main force. The 106th Division, which had been surrounded in Wanjialing, was the B-level division, and the establishment of the B-level division was between 22,000 and 24,000 people.

The C-level division, which is now the division where Yu Yang and Sasaki are located, is the C-level division with the largest number in the Japanese army. All divisions and regiments between the 110th Division and the 300th Division belonged to the C-class division, and due to the increasing scale of the war, the original reserves and reserves could no longer meet the requirements. Under such circumstances, Japan began to continue to expand its troops, that is, to recruit the first and second replenishments.

The average number of C-level divisions is about 17,000, and the number of heavy weapons is far less than that of the A and B divisions. The C-level division has some combat effectiveness, but it can't fight any tough battles. If you want to carry out a big battle, you need at least a second-class division to hold the shelf. The C-class division exhausted the last Japanese reserves, and the combat effectiveness of the D-class division could not open its eyes at all.

The last D-level division, although homophonic with the top division, is completely two concepts, and the D-level division is the division with the smallest number and the worst combat effectiveness among all the divisions and regiments of the Japanese army. The strength of a D-level division is only 12,000 to 14,000, why is there such a small number? Because this was originally a division expanded into a brigade. In the later stages of World War II, due to the gradual depletion of soldiers, even children in their teens were sent to the battlefield during the conscription process.

In the D-level division, many soldiers are child soldiers in their teens, and the child soldiers often fall behind even when marching quickly. Such a unit could not compete head-on with the enemy at all, and basically carried out patrols, guards, and maintenance of law and order. In the Pacific theater, the U.S. military captured many of these child soldiers.

Sasaki knows the combat effectiveness of his subordinates, and it is okay to bully and bully North Korean laborers, but fighting to the death with the Americans, this is no different from sending them to death, and looking for himself is just a wing commander, the troops are not full, only less than 1,500 people, Sasaki thought for a long time, and decided to retreat, rather than sit back and wait, it is better to retreat strategically, and wait for the arrival of reinforcements, and he should cooperate with the outside to eliminate all these Americans.

So when the Americans began to attack the airport as soon as possible, Sasaki just left a word of retreat, and took the operational staff of his command and some people to retreat from the airport to the periphery in a hurry.

Sasaki's retreat order was given in a hurry, some Japanese soldiers received the order and were evacuating towards the periphery of the airport under alternate cover, and some Japanese soldiers did not get the order to retreat, so they began to counterattack on the spot, but these Japanese soldiers found that the friendly forces around them were getting fewer and fewer, and some soldiers also began to retreat.

The Japanese resisted for ten minutes, and after ten minutes, after no Japanese soldiers resisted, the Americans rushed into the airfield as if no one was there, and some of the faster Americans, more than some of the slower Japanese soldiers who retreated, captured many prisoners, but more Korean laborers.

Compared with history, this time the Americans suffered some setbacks, and when attacking the airfield, they lost about 40 people and wounded more than 200 people, but for the landing force, which already had more than 10,000 people, these casualties were completely bearable by the Americans.

Yu Yang felt a distance of about two hundred meters, less than a hundred meters away from the officer he had found, and now the sun had jumped out of the sea level, and the sky began to brighten.

"Poof!"

Yu Yang gently pulled the trigger, killing a Japanese soldier who was walking in the front, and then quickly turned the muzzle of the gun and continued to pull the trigger on the Japanese near the officer, that guy was blocked in the crowd, Yu Yang did not have a very good shooting angle, Sasaki's height was too short, only about one meter five, and several staff officers around him were a little more than one meter six, which perfectly blocked Yu Yang's line.

The sudden attack made the retreating Japanese a little flustered, especially since they didn't know where the bullets came from, and a group of people immediately chose to lie on the ground and look around, looking for the location of the sniper.

A group of people all lay on the ground, and after blocking Sasaki's flesh from disappearing, Yu Yang immediately aimed his gun at the Japanese officer, then gently pulled the trigger, and then quickly retracted behind the tree.

When I shot just now, my position must have been exposed, after all, the distance is only about 100 meters, and the suppressor can only weaken the gunfire and reduce the gunfire, but it can't completely weaken the gunfire, and the flame of the muzzle will expose Yu Yang's position after the shot, and the first few shots are a sudden attack, and now the Japanese are vigilant, as long as they are not blind, they can see, after all, although the sky is bright, but the woods are still a little dark.
