Chapter 1611 The American Who Was Shot Like a Gun Target

On Tulagi Island, a large number of American troops were advancing in the jungle, full of trees, and they did not find the shadow of the Japanese army at all. ? n?en? ???.? r?a?n?? e?na `c?o?m?

On Tanamgo Island on Gavutu Island, a large number of US troops rushed up on numerous landing craft, but they could no longer advance an inch when they were still more than 10,000 meters away from the two islands and reefs.

After all, at such a distance, if the Japanese army launched an attack on them in the fortifications on the islands and reefs, they would not even have nowhere to hide, and they would not be able to effectively kill the Japanese army, so they could only be used as a target!

However, because of the fact that Kuah Island and Tulagi Island had landed directly and smoothly without encountering any resistance, the US generals were not willing to give up at all, and then start all over again, so they gritted their teeth and ordered: "The continued landing is just 10,000 meters, a matter of a few minutes!" ”

Five or six thousand U.S. troops rushed down from the landing craft with a roar, and swooped down on the two islands in waist-deep water and mud, one foot deep and one foot shallow, completely oblivious to the fact that on the reefs along the coast, countless guns were secretly sticking out, like the deadly gaze of a poisonous snake!

"Hit ......"

Almost at the same time, in the jungles of Tulagi and in the fortifications along the coast of Tanamgo Island in Kavutu, the Japanese troops opened fire on the American troops in unison!

Da Da Da ......

Boom, boom......

The gunfire exploded like firecrackers in Chinese New Year's Eve the jungle and on the beach, and the rain of bullets whistled and fired at the unsuspecting or unobstructed American troops, and the shells fell and exploded like hail......

Ahh......hhh

In the jungle, blood flowers bloomed one after another, I don't know how many American soldiers fell miserably, ghosts cried wolves, and short Japanese soldiers roared from the ground with bayonets, rushing out from everywhere, stabbing those tall American troops one after another, like farmers harvesting dense sugar cane fields.

On the beach, the sea water was stained red with blood, and a large number of American troops floated in the sea like rags, while the rest of the people wailed and cried in the dense rain of bullets like locusts flying in the sky......

At this moment, hell is coming!

"What?"

"How so? How can this be......"

"Damn the Japanese, shameless Japanese......"

In the US military headquarters, countless generals saw the front-line battle situation that flew back like a piece of paper, looked at the horrific casualty report, and then thought about the ridicule of Lu Yuan and the contempt for the Japanese army a few hours ago, one by one, as if their waists were broken by the butt of a gun, and their faces were hot and painful.

Nimitz wanted to cry even more without tears, thinking of Lu Yuan's constant reminder of himself, but he didn't pay attention to it at all, but now he saw so many soldiers die tragically, he felt that these soldiers were sent to death by himself, and he wanted to swallow a gun and commit suicide.

MacArthur's face was also pale, although he tried to restrain Nimitz and others from provoking Lu Yuan before, but in fact, he couldn't help but look down on Lu Yuan in his heart, so he didn't take Lu Yuan's repeated reminders seriously.

If Lu Yuan's words were really listened to, the current tragedies would not have happened at all!

But now, it's too late to say anything, and it's the right thing to do to find a way to solve the current problem!

It took several hours for the American soldiers who were trapped in the shallows as targets and those in the jungle who were beaten by the Japanese army as rabbits to receive the support of the air force and artillery fire, and at this time, hundreds of American troops had lost their lives, turned into corpses floating on the sea, or collapsed in the jungle, and there were already large swarms of flies buzzing around the corpses......

With the support of aircraft and naval guns, the US military finally took control of the situation after paying a heavy price.

However, looking at the countless comrades-in-arms who died tragically around them, the self-proclaimed gentlemen of the US military also went crazy, and many US soldiers cut off the heads of the Japanese corpses and picked them on the tips of their guns to vent their anger or boost their morale.

This is definitely something that MacArthur and Nimitz never expected!

Although the three or four thousand Japanese troops were wiped out, the American army also paid the price of 15,600 sacrifices, and in the case of completely occupying artillery fire and air supremacy, it still paid such a heavy price, which was unimaginable for the US troops before the war!

What made the US army and MacArthur Nimitz and other generals even more terrifying was that the Japanese killed three or four thousand people in the battle, but they only captured more than 100 prisoners of war, and most of these prisoners of war were captured because they were seriously injured and lost the ability to resist!

For the first time, the U.S. military began to face up to the Japanese army, and for the first time learned the power of the bushido spirit.

MacArthur Nimitz and those generals also began to face up to the distance, and they would no longer feel that the brilliant victories that Lu Yuan had won against the Japanese on the battlefield of China were because the Japanese were not good!

After all, they had the support of battleship aircraft artillery fire, and they paid such a heavy price for these Japanese troops, and what about them on a long way?

It was very clear in those newspapers that they had nothing, and sometimes they couldn't even guarantee a gun per person, but in such a situation, they beat the Japanese!

MacArthur, Nimitz and the others couldn't imagine how Lu Yuan and those scrawny Shina people did it, after all, they couldn't imagine how they could defeat these American troops they were leading now if they were leading the Japanese army on the opposite side!

That's almost, impossible!

However, MacArthur and Nimitz and other generals did not have the idea of consulting Lu Yuan, after all, it is undoubtedly an extremely humiliating act to let these arrogant Americans ask a yellow man who they call the sick man of East Asia, let alone ask a guy they have just mocked and sarcastic, it will be even more humiliating!

Moreover, they also deeply felt that the reason why they paid such a heavy price in this battle was just because they were too careless and underestimated the Japanese, just like the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.

Now, as long as our side is vigilant and pays attention to it, coupled with a strong fleet, fighters and artillery fire, we will never let the tragedy repeat again, and we will never give the Japanese a chance to take advantage of it again!

MacArthur and Nimitz and others were incredibly convinced of this!

It's just that they forgot that the Japanese were invincible in the East Asian theater of operations, relying not only on opportunism but also on daring to fight, these Japanese also have super high combat quality and tactical execution ability, and they are by no means as easy to deal with as they think!
