Coordinated attack has always been China's main tactical means, and coordination is not necessarily the coordination of arms, sometimes it can also be called the coordination of the theater of operations. When the Air Force began to attack Tokyo, the Pacific Theater was also in full swing.

More than 300 warships of various types have surrounded the Mariana Islands, and naval guns and aircraft carriers have launched uninterrupted bombardment of military installations on the Mariana Islands for three consecutive days. On the same day that the bomber forces began bombing the Japanese mainland, the landing campaign began.

Unlike previous wars, it stands to reason that we should pick a weak point and concentrate our forces to attack it. China, on the other hand, did the opposite, abandoning the northern part of the archipelago, where the Japanese army was weakly defended, and counterattacking the southern, which was the most heavily defended, that is, Guam.

There has never been such a scene in the entire waters off the Mariana Islands, even when Japan attacked Guam in the United States.

With the successful landing of the 2nd Regiment of the 3rd Marine Division, and the landing ground was opened. The black pressure transport boats of the follow-up landing force covered the entire beach, wave after wave of amphibious landing craft rushed to the beachhead, and the vehicles ashore the flooding water were densely covered with the beach, and the Chinese soldiers like ant colonies were spread on the beachhead of the not wide water trail, like sesame seeds sprinkled all over the sand.

The golden dragon flag fluttering in the sea breeze was crackling in the wind, as if it was proudly ignoring everything, but it seemed to be trying to prove something, at least the bright red color was stinging the eyes of many Japanese people at this time.

Li Kaiguo, commander of the 3rd Marine Division, who jumped off the assault boat and waded knee-high water to the beachhead, was surrounded by a group of staff officers and officers. Arrived in the Mariana Islands as a victor and conqueror.

"Report to the division commander, a regiment is developing to both flanks and consolidating positions." A call came from the radio behind the communications soldier on his back. As the first unit to go ashore, the 1st Regiment was tasked with consolidating the beachhead.

"I'm Li Kaiguo, hurry up and draw out two battalions of troops to immediately go straight to Apra Port, I will only give you an hour, and after an hour, I will see the military flag fluttering on the port." Li Kaiguo grabbed the walkie-talkie and ordered.

"Order the troops, seize the time to consolidate. The engineer battalion built a beachhead. Hurry up, hurry up! The busy officers roared.

Groups of soldiers with combat backpacks on their backs and guns hurried from the distance to the rough roar of the officers, and the low-hanging night gradually covered the heavens and the earth. Blanket the entire sky. Covered up everything.

"Hurry up. Fast! The busy engineer battalion directly under the division began to build an artificial harbor on the beachhead with folding iron plates and quick-drying concrete, and a large number of steel pipes and scaffolding transported by ro-ro ships could enable the engineering troops to build a rather spectacular artificial harbor in a very short time. Complete the basic construction of this beach.

Lights erected high and searchlights from ships illuminated the beach, and signalmen in bright silver reflective vests whistled and waved red glow sticks to guide armored vehicles with flashing headlights out of the first gangplank opened by the mechanized landing craft and rumbling along the newly built passage into the distance.

"Pay attention to the unfolding, pay attention to the unfolding, don't mess up, don't mess up!" The busy dispatcher methodically arranged the troops to expand their positions one by one, the most important thing for such a large-scale landing ashore is order, any slightest mistake will make the beachhead crowded and congested with vehicles fall into a state of blockage, so the dispatcher's duty is the most important.

"The 1st Battalion, hurry up and advance in the direction of Puerto Apra, in any case it must be put into battle within half an hour."

"2nd Battalion, pay attention to the direction of alert first, and be ready to block the enemy's incoming reinforcements at any time."

"The 2nd Regiment was left on the front line with no contact with the alert troops, and the 3rd Battalion, as soon as the landing was completed, replaced the brethren of the 2nd Regiment, and at the same time advanced with a 1st Regiment to the northeast to clear any resistance on this line. Support the assault of the 1st Battalion on the port. ”

"Let the divisional automatic artillery battalion deploy in the direction east of Guam as soon as it lands ashore. Artillery cover is provided at all times. ”

At the temporary combat command post on the beach, Li Kaiguo was giving orders one after another in an orderly manner, while on the sea, those transport ships and landing ships that let the waves lap against the hull of the ship were being hidden in darkness by night, and countless officers and men descended from the ladder nets on both sides of the hull and went ashore in landing craft and assault boats. At the open aft compartment of the amphibious landing ship and the dock landing ship, one after another mechanized landing craft loaded with vehicles and materials slowly drove out of the dock compartment.

In the sea and sky, anti-submarine helicopters hovered in the night, flashing red-green night lights slowly turning, and higher in the night sky, from time to time fighter planes whizzed by, this is the HNA group of aircraft serving as aviation cover. At this time, the entire sea surface was completely controlled by the Chinese army, and any hostile act would be dealt with the most violently.

The officers and men of the Marine Corps special forces carrying helicopters wore night vision devices and stood guard over the waterway with guns, and on the sea, one after another motor boats broke through the layers of dark water, and the special combat personnel wearing life jackets and carrying guns on guard vigilantly watched the situation along the coast of Guam.

Obviously, the reason for the war has caused the loss of the previous calm here, and the route that Japan originally walked here has been completely cut off, not to mention the Indian Ocean, even the Indonesian archipelago, which is about to be cut off. As long as Japan has complete control of the Mariana Islands, it can be said that Japan's shipping routes to Indonesia and other places will be basically cut off. Unless it goes around Australia, sticks to the coastline, and then goes west out of the Indian Ocean, Japan doesn't want to carry a single bullet to Indonesia. This does not include, of course, the U.S. connection between Australia and Indonesia, which has always been in the heart of the Allied islands. Now China has no way to cut off the shipping lanes between the two. However, it is also significant to be able to cut off one of the lifelines.

At this moment, apart from the Chinese warships, there were no suspicious ships on the sea. The officers and men of the special forces of the Marine Corps still do not dare to relax their vigilance for a moment, after all, the current situation is too complicated. If the radical imps used the dinghy to carry out a suicidal raid, the cost of damage would be great.

This concern is not without reason, and the spearhead of bushido in Japan has become increasingly prominent. Kamikaze, it's just a matter of time or time.

Under such a vigilant environment, a large number of landing troops began to land ashore in a steady stream, and in a very short period of time, two battalions of the first regiment, an engineer battalion directly under the division, and an artillery company were sent to the beaches of Guam, Mali.

Two fully formed regiments of marines, with a total of 7,000 men, plus matching weapons and equipment. It is definitely not easy to land in a short time, and it is still a non-port landing.

With such a large number of troops, such a rapid mobile projection, everything seems to be just a display of strength, just like in the bodybuilding arena, shirtless and showing a protruding piece of muscle, in order to show his strength.

And now, the long-range power projection of the Chinese army in the Mariana Islands seems to be exactly like this, showing its strength with a kind of strength, so as to achieve psychological oppression, which is the power of deterrence, and fundamentally makes itself occupy the oppressive side of momentum first.

Guam, the fighting at night burned even more frantically.

"Boom!" With a bang, a cannonball fell, exploding a ball of fire, followed by several huge explosions one after another, the overwhelming artillery fire blew up the entire battlefield beyond recognition, rising up columns of smoke, one after another straight up to the clouds, the firelight dyed the night red, the fire in the darkness rushed to the sky, and the smoke billowed out.

Amid the loud sound of shell explosions, the Marines nested in foxholes, smoking in boredom, and now they waited for the order to attack. The fires shone in the distance, and a few flaming fire shadows could occasionally be seen.

Japan has built a very strong defensive offensive on the Pacific islands, and originally these things were prepared for the United States. Now it is being used on China, which is different from the normal island defense strategy. Japan has also begun to learn to behave, and it used to be accustomed to placing defensive positions on the beachhead, but the experience of previous wars shows that such defensive facilities are a kind of death-seeking behavior in the face of China.

Because the beachhead cannot be hidden, in the face of the powerful firepower that China is known for, there is no need to wait for the landing to begin, and many will be destroyed by China's powerful attacking firepower. In particular, China's blockbuster ground-penetrating aerial bombs are even more fortress killers.

Japan has summed up a lot of experience, and any defensive position that can be seen from the air is a blank slate. Therefore, a large number of Japanese troops, scattered around the islands, built underground defensive positions, only exposed a small earthen bag, surrounded by hidden shooting holes, and waited for the Chinese soldiers to enter, before killing and wounding.

And the coconut palms and shrubs on the tropical islands of the Pacific Ocean were also good hiding places for Japanese soldiers. The Japanese soldiers with good marksmanship cooperated with snipers, hiding in dense coconut trees, and sniping Chinese soldiers from high to low. Others are covered in weeds, hiding in the bushes and firing cold guns.

In the absence of a navy, the Japanese side also knows that if the navy flees early, the competition of firepower will not be enough at all, and the islands will not be able to hold sooner or later. Therefore, killing and wounding as many Chinese soldiers as possible was actually the only option for the Japanese defenders on these islands.

To deal with these Japanese soldiers hiding in the grass and underground bunkers, the soldiers of the Marine Corps have been trained for a long time, and this is their good show. However, when it came to understanding these Japanese bunkers scattered on the islands one by one, there were also many soldiers who paid for the casualties. (To be continued......)
