Chapter 260: Blood and Fire Hawaii

At a time when the world was shocked by the speed of expansion of the Japanese navy and army in the Philippines and the Pacific, at a time when the vast majority of military strategists were not optimistic about the outcome of the Americans in this war. Just when many people were doubting whether the Americans could keep Hawaii. Three Danish-flagged ships quietly arrived at the islands of Kauai, Oahu and Hawaii under the cover of night.

A group of U.S. Army soldiers in civilian clothes quickly completed the landing with the cooperation of the responders. The three ships transported a total of 5,000 U.S. officers and soldiers and their equipment. These forces were only the first wave that the Americans used to strengthen Hawaii's defenses, and the second wave would arrive three days later.

"Lads, our liner has arrived, the Lutz has made you safely to your destination, and our naval guns will blow the Japanese area within range to pieces. The rest is up to you! Major Wilson, a high-speed auxiliary cruiser USS Lutz, said humorously before the Marines landed.

The Lutz is a 14,000-ton cruise ship, and the strong power of up to 20,000 horsepower is enough for the ship to run a high speed of 22 knots, and it is precisely because of this speed that the Americans dare to use this warship to transport 2,000 marines to Hawaii Island without fleet cover.

Along the way, Major Wilson was afraid that the terrible Japanese cruisers would intercept him, but it turned out that the Japanese seemed to be unable to catch it. The entire fleet arrived at its destination safely. As an auxiliary cruiser, the purpose of the Lutz was not only to bring people into place, but also to teach the Japanese on the shore a good lesson with naval guns.

I have to say that the Americans' brains and efficiency are still good, and in just 2 weeks, the ship was converted into a good protective cruiser, equipped with 8 6-inch L30 guns, as well as 20 6-pounder naval guns that can be replaced at any time with army gun mounts and 8 3-inch naval guns with army gun mounts. And these sharp guns were faced against the Japanese expatriates of Hilo.

That's right, it's the Japanese expatriate, and in this operation of the American army, all the Japanese are enemies! Theoretically, regardless of gender or age, Americans who are full of hatred in their hearts urgently need an opportunity to vent their anger! They need a fierce and resolute battle to completely deal with the Japanese forces in Hawaii!

"The Japanese have launched a number of attacks on the city hall and other organs, the two sides broke out a large-scale conflict five days ago, the Japanese have an unknown number of weapons, after the outbreak of the conflict, the Japanese began to organize the operation, some people began to build barricades in the southern city where the Japanese gathered, and the other part of the people besieged and harassed our people, fortunately you came in time, otherwise, in a few days here I am afraid that the Japanese will have the final say." The person in charge of the joint said with a sigh of relief.

"Okay, you just need to lead the way, and we'll take care of the rest. Let's clean up those abominable Japanese dwarfs! Lieutenant Colonel Grant said with a deep breath. Tell the brothers that we have only come here for one thing, and that is to kill! Kill! Kill! Kill all the Japanese who resist! ”

With the help of the responders, the U.S. Army pulled a dismantled 6-pounder gun from the ship, reassembled it, and marched toward the Japanese barricades under the tow of limited horses. The others, led by the commander, took advantage of the darkness to enter the predetermined starting position. When everything was ready, three dazzling red flares rose into the sky, and the roar of the 6-inch guns of the Lutz auxiliary cruiser set off the attack!

Although it was an old-fashioned anti-artillery gun, it was still enough to deal with the Japanese expatriates who were not even a paramilitant group, and the roar of heavy artillery pierced the silent night sky. Countless dark red lights rose on the shore. More than 90% of the Japanese did not expect that they would be bombarded by heavy artillery! When the fireball that heralded destruction fell from the sky, the Japanese will to resist was already crumbling!

With a deafening explosion, picric high-explosive bombs exploded on the wooden houses of the Japanese, and the extremely incendiary charge instantly engulfed a large area of houses, and the Japanese were already in chaos before the Americans attacked!

When the American infantry, under the cover of machine guns and 6-pounder rapid-fire guns, rushed to the barricades of the Japanese with bayonets, the outcome of the war was actually decided, and it was a massacre! The Americans used bullets and bayonets to eliminate the Japanese who had just survived the sudden artillery fire, and many of them had just struggled out of the rubble and flames before they were killed by the oncoming bullets.

And the Americans in Hilo are also helping the army to clean up these enemies, they directly cooperate with the US Army to surround the entire Japanese enclave area, and then directly buy it from the outside in! In just one night, the Japanese descendants of Shiloh became a historical term, and in this massacre, the death rate of Japanese people in Shiloh was more than 4 percent, and another 3 percent were injured to varying degrees, and a large part of them did not survive the torture of injuries and diseases. And less than 1 and a half of the remaining Japanese were also put in concentration camps by the Americans!

Something similar happened on the other major islands of the Hawaiian archipelago that same night. The Americans answered the world's doubts about their power with blood and fire, of course, considering the backward communications of this era, and the deliberate blockade of the Americans. It took a week for the story to reach Tokyo, Japan. By this time, the Americans had already brought more than 8,000 more troops and their equipment and a large amount of supplies to Hawaii!

"Despite the heavy damage to our navy, the United States will not allow the Republic of Hawaii to fall into Japanese hands! Absolutely not allowed, if the Japanese want to come, then let's fight on land! 50,000 soldiers of the United States of America will teach the hateful Japanese how to fight land warfare! "The gunpowder oath issued by the President of the United States shook the whole world!

On the same day, Germany and Russia also expressed their support for the U.S. action, believing that the subversive activities carried out by the Japanese immigrants had broken through the bottom line of the Hawaiian government, and that it was a just act for the U.S. military to be invited to Hawaii to quell the rebellion. He also expressed the hope that both sides would exercise restraint and not allow the war to further expand.
