By the time Adolf and his battalion finally arrived at the beach, more than an hour had passed since his earnest speech, during which time the advance landing force had cleared a beachhead six kilometers long and nearly one kilometer deep with more than 1,200 casualties and the loss of one amphibious armored company, the vanguard was stubbornly resisted by the Japanese army at a distance of 4 kilometers ahead.

After gathering his troops, Adolf stood on the turret of a VK-II amphibious tank, and through the telescope he could easily see the east-west hill more than 4,000 meters ahead, it was not high, at most more than 100 meters above sea level, but it was like a screen separating the coastal area from the inland area, and about 10 kilometers further north, another north-south hill and it formed a deformed "in" character, and the German officers and soldiers who landed from this beach wanted to advance inland, this "in" The zigzag hills were the second natural line of defense for the Japanese army.

Of course, the hill was not without gaps, and looking to his right, Adolf saw a gap on the map that was 3 kilometers wide, which was also a major point of attack for the landing force, but the Japanese troops defending it also paid equal attention to it, as evidenced by the dense gunfire coming from that direction.

After observing the situation on the battlefield, Adolf's heart was much clearer, he glanced at his subordinates condescendingly, and ordered in a firm tone: "To the north, advance!" ”

Just half an hour later, Adolf had to keep his head as low as he could in a crater, and the communications officer next to him connected him to his superiors with a walkie-talkie.

"Berlin, Berlin, Frankfurt 2 need air reinforcements, and in sector 37 we are suppressed by heavy enemy fire! Repeat.

Frankfurt 2 needs air reinforcements, in sector 37! ”

The code name "Frankfurt" refers to Adolf's regiment, and the 2nd sector means 2nd battalion, in this open area less than 1 kilometer long and about 200 meters deep, hundreds of German soldiers are very aggrieved and prostrate on the wet and cold dry grass, and they endure the constant pressure of enemy bullets flying overhead. It's almost 3.5 kilometers from the beach they first landed on, and it's actually the foot of that hill, which is quite gentle on this side of the hill. People did not feel like they were climbing the mountains, and on the other side of the gentle slope, which was less than 10 degrees, was a Japanese position hidden in the woods, where the shelling of German warships and the bombardment of aviation forces had left many craters, and more than half of the trees had been destroyed, and most of the remaining vegetation was scarred.

At first glance, almost no one thought that there would be any creatures other than rats alive here, because of the terrible power of the heavy guns of the German battleships, because of the countless bombs and incendiary bombs dropped by the German air forces, and because of the silent, dead woods in front of them.

But. Dense bullets erupted from here. The diminutive Japanese soldiers, who seemed to have more tenacious vitality than rats, survived the earth-shaking explosions and hellish flames, proving their existence to the landers with rifles and machine guns. Prove his determination to resist desperately.

The command agreed to air support, but Adolf obviously would not wait helplessly for carrier-based aircraft, he only had one battalion in his hands, but this was not an ordinary battalion, but a marine battalion recognized as the strongest in the three services, three reinforced infantry companies and one amphibious combat vehicle company, at least 1.5 times the size and equipment of the ordinary army battalion.

After two minutes of waiting, Adolf's chariot company finally came up, four amphibious tanks and six amphibious armored vehicles rumbling towards the half-ruined woods ahead, and one company of infantry was ordered to follow. This kind of infantry and tank coordination tactics has long been commonplace in all German units, and has always been a nightmare for the opponent's purely infantry defense units.

When his tank and armored vehicles drove halfway through the open space, Adolf clearly felt that the opponent's firepower was weakening, and the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side should not have anti-tank guns in their hands, were they retreating? Or are you ready to resist?

Adolf soon found the answer, but it was not what he had hoped for.

Just when the tank company advancing in a horizontal column was only a step away from the Japanese position, the firepower in the woods suddenly increased, and the rifle and machine-gun bullets, although not enough to threaten the amphibious tanks with thick armor and the amphibious armored vehicles that could withstand large-caliber machine-gun bullets, were enough to make the infantry lying down and avoid the bullets. There was just a slight disconnect between the infantry and the tank, and the grenadiers on the side of the Japanese position suddenly spoke, and "all of them" were several waves, Adolf was not worried that these grenades would threaten his own chariots, but with the smoke and dust raised after their explosions, the Japanese army's "strange soldiers" - Japanese dead soldiers with Molotov cocktails or explosive bags tied to their bodies came on the field!

"What a crazy army! What a crazy nation! ”

Seeing more than thirty Japanese soldiers with strips of white cloth tied to their heads rushing towards his chariot with extremely agile movements, Adolf couldn't help but sigh in his heart. When he was in Hawaii, he had already seen the Japanese "preferring to die rather than surrender" and had witnessed suicide attacks by individual Japanese soldiers in the Marshall Islands, but this was the first time he had seen a meat bullet charge on such a scale today.

The sudden burst of gunfire came from German tanks, armored vehicles and accompanying infantry, but because the distance was so close, they only killed some of the "meat bullets", and the remaining Japanese soldiers still managed to complete the "jade shattering" - in a dull explosion or earth-shattering explosion, seven out of ten combat vehicles could not escape, and none of the hoe tanks were spared.

The closer the front was to the Japanese mainland, the stronger and more frantic the resistance of the Japanese army became, and Adolf painfully guessed this. The German army was better equipped than ever, but conventional warfare was still a huge black hole that was constantly draining the lives of soldiers on both sides.

After a moment of silence, the remaining three armored vehicles and infantry began to retreat in an orderly manner, and when they returned to the starting point with a heavy heart, several gray fighters flying from the direction of the sea finally roared at low altitude. At such a close distance, both the German officers and soldiers and the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side could clearly see their appearance and the emblem under the wings, and the German officers and soldiers loved the black and white iron cross as always, while their opponents had the opposite attitude.

The German side soon ignited colorful fireworks to guide the attack of the aviation troops, and Germany's advanced technology did not leave the Japanese a chance to counterattack, and the German fighters flying in a horizontal formation circled and accurately dropped the bombs, and with a few muffled bangs, a large group of flames rose into the sky!

"Yay! That's an incendiary bomb that can produce a thousand degrees of heat in an instant, so let the damned Japanese go to hell! Less than 20 meters away from Adolf, a mud-faced lieutenant officer got up from the ground and waved his fist excitedly, and the painful screams of the Japanese soldiers before they died did not seem to sound so cruel, and even very relieved to many people, but no one continued to cheer after the lieutenant, many German soldiers got up from the ground, and the wreckage of the first few chariots was so lonely against the backdrop of the fire.

Adolf was about to stand up, but a crisp "pop" woke him up, this was the battlefield, and there was no room for slackness. Not far from him, the lieutenant, who had been waving his fist just now, was staring ahead with an unbelievable look, and the uniform on his chest was rapidly being soaked with blood.

"Lieutenant! Lieutenant! ”

A non-commissioned officer next to him hurriedly supported the lieutenant, who couldn't stand still, but it was too late, the lieutenant's eyes were still open, but his heart stopped beating.

Adolf tried to use his binoculars to search the woods ahead, but there was no target he was looking for, and it was clear that the cold gun came from another place, and perhaps the gunman had been hunting for the lives of the German soldiers in the previous battle.

It was not a good idea to stay here, and Adolf gave the order to attack at the right time.

"Damn the Japanese, go to hell!"

Flattening the lieutenant's body, the non-commissioned officer was the first to rush out, and his angry voice obviously infected the same angry soldiers around him, and people jumped up from the ground, and after only a moment, everyone erupted into a roar, and there were still Japanese alive in front? Are they still firing? No one cares about that anymore.

Shortly after the infantry charged, another group of amphibious tanks came from the beach and joined the attack, but their speed was not complimentary—although they were much lighter than the army tanks of their class, they were still very clumsy in such soft ground, and the 50 kilometers per hour road speed was only half of what they could do here.

"Don't be in a hurry, keep in formation and move forward at medium speed!"

Adolf, who walked in the crowd of attackers, shouted at his soldiers, and stopped every half minute to look ahead with a telescope. The huge destructive power of the incendiary bomb quickly wiped out the remaining trees there, and the black soil bags in the shape of steamed buns were revealed, and there was no need to even guess, Adolf also knew that it was a Japanese pillbox, at this time he only hoped that the Japanese soldiers in those bunkers had all become roast pigs, otherwise......

"Lie down!"

The voices of the officers and veterans rang out in the crowd almost simultaneously, and in the background was a rapid, whistle-like sound that did not sound harsh, even soft, but behind them was a very lethal weapon - the Meiji 41-year 75mm mountain gun, a practical short-barreled gun that had been in service for many years, and although it had a range of only a little more than 6 kilometers, it was very light, and two soldiers could easily operate and transfer, and it could be used as a flat-fire gun at close range.
