The other U.S. troops on the ground didn't find out about the problem until more than 10 minutes later, and by the time they went to the fortifications, it was already under the control of the squadron.

Without the support of the air force, the Chinese helicopters were arrogant on their heads, and after two hours of coming and going, the Chinese helicopter unit once again brought more than 1,000 people, as well as a large number of weapons and ammunition.

At this time, the Beiyang Fleet led by Li Huixian had arrived 100 kilometers away from Kauai, and at this time, the Chinese planes were already able to fight against the US Air Force in about ten minutes.

As the power on the island grows stronger and stronger, the Americans feel more and more powerless, and the Chinese missiles have once again attacked Oahu, which makes the American military have to be distracted, and they have to send a large number of troops to the rescue.

At this moment, Nimitz once again felt frustrated, now he has an army in his hands, but because of the lack of ships, he cannot support Kauai Island, and he cannot gain air supremacy in an air battle with Chinese aircraft.

"Damn Mitchell, where is their fleet, we are all about to be killed by the Chinese."

"General, they're north of Johnston Island."

"Where and what."

"Presumably, to bypass China's defensive ring and attack the Chinese fleet."

Nimitz kept his head calm and didn't speak, theoretically Mitchell was right, too close to the Hawaiian Islands was easy to find, and was killed by the enemy instead of being killed by the enemy,

But go around so far, I don't know when we will be able to find the Chinese fleet, and then take out the Chinese fleet,

At 12 o'clock in the evening, the Chinese fleet had approached 40 kilometers west of Kauai, but the cruiser and destroyer fleets had approached Kauai.

"Captain, do you want to open fire?"

"Wait, let's see if the air force on Niihau Island is ready, without air cover, we can easily be attacked by the American air force."

"It's so dark, they're so powerful?"

"It's hard to say, as far as I know, the Americans also have night vision devices, and they can accurately hit targets at night, especially against us big guys at night, so it's better to be careful, it's not easy for you to build a warship."

"Captain, there's news from the island's air force that they are ready to support us."

"Okay." Hearing the words of the staff officer who walked in in a hurry, the cruiser captain couldn't hide his joy,

"Captain, can you fire the cannon then?"

"Let's shoot, I don't know how long it's been since we've fired, it's a rare opportunity."

"Hehe, captain, the brothers can't wait for a long time, it's too uncomfortable to have a cannon without a shot."

The shipboard guns on the cruisers and destroyers of the "Boom ......" have been powerful, but unfortunately they don't know where the US troops are, and in many places on the island, the low-powered air force has bombed them, and there are almost no combustibles by then, so only the fuel for napalm is burned on the mud and stones.

The light of fire on the ground does not give the fleet any guidance, because the Air Force also bombs indiscriminately, and they do not know where the Americans' fortifications are and where the material bases are,

After a blind fight, the fleet began to shell the coast, their goal was to blow up the possible minefields here, and then the helicopters would land with their soldiers.

The U.S. troops on the island are now in a panic again, and now they not only have to face the attack of the squadron on the top of the mountain, but also the squadron attack of the open sea, so it can be said that they are in a situation of being surrounded.

"Brigadier General, I'm afraid we're lost, and it's impossible for the Admiral to send troops to rescue us."

"Don't be discouraged, lad, you have a point, but the Admiral will not give up on us, and neither will the American people."

"Okay, but looking at the offensive posture of the Chinese, we don't know how long it can last, and we should need more air support."

"It's true, otherwise we really can't deal with their air force and helicopters, especially the Chinese's helicopters are the most annoying, I hate them."

On Oahu, Nimitz quickly received a telegram from the U.S. military in Kauai, and now he is also in a dilemma, he doesn't know what to do, the support is okay, the paratroopers can take advantage of the fact that most of the area is still in the hands of the U.S. military, and it is feasible for the airport on the island to repair and land, but he has to risk being blown up at the airport,

It is indeed difficult to hold the islands without sea and air supremacy.

"General, we can't give up Kauai, you know not only the soldiers on the road, but more importantly, once Kauai is lost, coupled with the serious losses of our navy, we are afraid that there is no way to counterattack back, and I think that it will not be our counterattack back then, but China will fight anytime and anywhere."

"I know I can't give up, how do you think we should hold on to these islands?"

"This." The officer can't speak, if the Chinese don't have a helicopter, he still has some way, he also believes in their strength, the problem is that the Chinese have helicopters, and the squadron can land from any location, so that for the sparse US military, the defense force is stretched,

"You don't know, in fact, I don't know, we can't get support from the mainland, our supplies are getting less and less, there are fewer and fewer planes, our chance to win is only to annihilate their navy, without annihilating their navy, they can't land effectively, and then we will use the navy to recapture the occupied islands."

"Do you mean that we don't support the defenders on the island now?"

Nimitz said: "Of course not, it's just that we don't send the army over, it's enough to send the air force to support." ”

"That's not good, if the people in the country know that we can't save us, what should we do, they will kill us."

"Hey, we just think too much about the ideas of those people, so we do things very passively, we can't think too much at the beginning, you have to understand that we are in adversity now, if we still think too much, there is only a dead end, now we are all about survival, survival, only by surviving, we can strive for victory, our victory is meaningful."

Although the officer also thought so, he was still really afraid that he would be held accountable in the future, but Nimitz was the commander after all, who didn't want to do it at this time, he had to nod desperately,

Nimitz replied to the kings of Kauai that it was okay to support the planes, but because Pearl Harbor was bombed and sunk many ships during the day, the port was blocked, so it was impossible to send additional troops in a short time, as long as they held out for three days, it was basically fine.

In fact, Nimitz just hoped that the American soldiers on Kauai would fight bloodily to buy him time, and only the longer he persisted, he could come up with a good solution.

The U.S. troops on Kauai Island were still excited when they heard the news, although the army was not so fast, but the air force supported a lot, and it was okay to hold on for three days, of course, in fact, they were just comforting themselves, they themselves didn't dare to believe that they could hold out for so long,

After the fleet was covered by firepower, the helicopters carried the troops to the beach and landed, of course, some of the helicopters naturally leaned forward to attack to avoid the Americans from attacking the landing force.

"Fire." The Americans in the trenches watched the Chinese helicopters attack above their heads, and they hated this thing the most, this thing didn't dare to drop them, and they couldn't turn over.

The U.S. light and heavy anti-aircraft machine guns and artillery fired fiercely at the helicopter, while the Chinese helicopter flew more flexibly as soon as it saw movement, and at the same time the rockets and machine guns on it fired at the American positions.

At the same time, they used radio to contact the warship to inform the location of the US troops, and soon a burst of artillery fire blew up the US troops, and in this way, the Marines attacked on the ground, there were helicopters in the sky, and there were planes, and they guided the destroyers and cruisers to fire at the US troops on the ground, and the US troops were bombed in a terrible way, and after more than an hour, the Marines captured a beachhead about one kilometer long and half a kilometer wide.

At two o'clock in the middle of the night, the squadron in the center of Kauai has increased to 4,000 people, and the squadron on the beachhead also has 3,000 people.

"Brigadier General, the Chinese are attacking each other from the top of the mountain and the beach, and it seems that they are going to converge."

"I know."

"So what are we going to do, are we going to stop them?"

"No, I'm afraid our forces are not enough to stop them, even if we can take care of this side, we can't take care of that side, they are better to converge, at least our air force doesn't have to worry about bombing by mistake."

The brigadier general is obviously still worried about the accidental bombing a few hours ago, if it weren't for the chaos of the air force, maybe they would have taken the mountain, and the squadron would have been driven down, and they wouldn't have to fall into a two-front battle.

"Shall we evacuate then?"

"No, this island is not big, we should gradually resist and consume the squadron, we are far from the mainland, they are even farther away from the mainland, I believe their supplies are not so fast, that is our chance."

The machine gun on the "whoosh......" helicopter hit the side of the US brigadier general violently, so that the US brigadier general was not angry.

He gritted his teeth and said, "One day, I will also command him to attack the Chinese with tens of millions of helicopters and let them know the power of helicopters." ”

At half past two, the two hundred planes that had taken off from the ship-island aircraft carrier arrived over Kauai again, this time carrying a large number of bombs and napalm.

Soon the planes began to drop bombs outside the squadron's position, napalm formed a sea of fire, burning a large number of American troops to death, and at the same time creating a large sea of fire to separate the American troops.

The helicopter took advantage of this time to fire at the US ** team surrounded by fire, and the fleeing US troops were quickly beaten into a sieve.

The Marines were lying in the trenches leisurely watching all this, and their attempts to attack were also blocked by the fire, so they could only lie down.
