After suffering losses from the Wehrmacht, the Japanese army has been painstakingly studying the tactics of the Wehrmacht. Among them, they noted the fact that the Wehrmacht had planted explosives on their positions during retreat.

Subsequently, the Japanese army headquarters began to conduct thorough and in-depth experiments on this kind of combat example. At the same time, several exercises were secretly conducted to get the Japanese units below to adapt to this tactic.

The trick to this tactic is that you set the tipping point first, but don't plant the explosives in advance. Wait until you are ready, and quickly bring in explosives and detonating equipment.

and cover the troops to bury explosives in tunnels and fortifications. And you'll have to calculate the time when the enemy will enter the position and set the time to explode.

Then withdraw from the position and cede this place to the enemy. Once the enemy is in position, they need to be dragged to the position and wait for the explosives to detonate.

It is clear that the arrogant US military has not thought about this issue at all. As a result, they were unfortunate enough to become the first batch of actual combat test items for the Japanese army to carry out positional blasting.

"Boom! Rumble!! Boom ......" explosions rang out one after another, and the more than 1,000 American troops who rushed to the position were engulfed by the crazy explosion before they could even scream.

These explosion points had been calculated by the Japanese army a long time ago, and each of their explosion points had a certain interval and distance. At the same time, the amount of explosives loaded is also very large.

"Order the troops to prepare to storm the front-line positions, but not to occupy them. After beating the Americans back into the sea, they withdrew. Nobu Yokota lowered his binoculars, and he was pleased with the results of such an explosion.

You can tell from the power of the explosion. There will not be a few living American troops on the position. There was no doubt that the American troops on the positions and on the beaches would be frightened by the violent explosion.

Yokota Shin wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to kill and injure the US landing force as much as possible. No matter how strong the fleet of the US military is. After all, it was impossible for them to drive directly to the shore to attack the position.

Therefore, as long as these Japanese troops are disabled, then the landing operation plan of the American army will go bankrupt on its own.

"Damn it! Immediately artillery fire on the second line of the Japanese positions, do not give them the opportunity to attack the first line positions! Admiral Halsey's face turned pale, and he slammed his fist on the command stand on the bridge.

This tactic used by the Japanese army was something that he and other US generals did not expect. After all, they are only naval forces, not professional army units.

Moreover, even professional army units have not experienced such a way of fighting.

"Tom tom tom...... Rumble! Rumble!! Boom...... "Halsey is a veteran after all. He immediately guessed the plans of the Japanese army. and immediately mobilized artillery fire to bombard the second-line positions of the Japanese army.

Halsey's move bought time for the Americans, and the bombarded Japanese were forced to slow down their attack. And the American troops on the beach were rushing towards the position.

In a few moments, they were on the bombed, shattered position. In the smoke of the position. Countless U.S. soldiers were wailing, and broken corpses and bloody entrails were splattered everywhere.

The corpses of some American soldiers, whose heads had been directly smashed, were thrown on the ground like rag dolls. The entire position has been blown into a pile of rubble......

"Quick! Build your ground and don't let those damn dwarfs rush up!! "The officers of the U.S. Army kept roaring loudly. The explosion of the ship's guns exploded more than two hundred meters away from them. A huge barrage was formed to isolate them from the Japanese army.

After the barrage, a large number of Japanese troops desperately wanted to rush up. But they were all blocked by American artillery fire, and some Japanese troops tried to bypass the barrage and outflank from the left and right flanks.

But they reluctantly found that they had outflanked the US military, and it was estimated that they had already set up their positions. There is no point in such an offensive.

"Let them all withdraw...... "Yokota Nobumi couldn't take advantage, so he could only sigh and ask the chief of staff to withdraw the troops. Rushing forward desperately, it is estimated that the US military has already arranged its position.

Rush hard, and get nothing but more casualties.

With the command being delivered. The attacking Japanese troops slowly withdrew towards the second-line position. Halsey's reconnaissance plane, upon discovering the situation, reported it to the command.

Forthwith. Halsey also ordered the fleet to stop shelling. The Marines began a large-scale landing on Wake Island.

"These damn elves......" The admiral's face changed when the statistics were handed over to Halsey. More than 2,000 casualties made the American admiral almost throw away the battle report in his hand.

The landing force brought by the US Navy this time was no more than 8,000 marines. This is the largest force Halsey can come up with at the moment.

In just one battle, more than 2,000 people have already been lost by taking a front, how can Halsey accept this?!

"Seize the port and let all the landing ships dock. Put everyone and your weapons ashore, transfer the Queen Mary in Hawaii, and bring all the Marines over! ”

Halsey immediately gave a direct order, and nearly 10,000 U.S. Marines were training in Hawaii. Now Halsey only needs to seize a port and hold it to get reinforcements from Hawaii.

"General, do you really want to transfer the 'Queen Mary'?! Isn't that too dangerous?! Rear Admiral Spruance asked hesitantly, "It's just a cruise ship......"

"But it's now the fastest ship we have on our hands, and it's being overhauled in Hawaii!" Halsey said in a deep voice: "We need troops now, and we need a lot of troops. At least we're going to take back Wake Island, and that's a chance for our Navy to perform. ”

"If we lose nothing in this attack, then you can imagine what Washington will think of us. I don't want our Navy to face such an embarrassing situation......"

As he spoke, Halsey paused and said, "In the attack on Pearl Harbor, our navy has already lost all its face. Although this is a shameful act of these dwarfs to fight without declaring war, the heavy losses are after all because our navy was not prepared for it. If we don't get back the lost dignity ourselves, who do you think will give us back the dignity?! ”

Spruance stopped talking. He knew that what Halsey said was the truth. Since Pearl Harbor, neither Congress nor the president has trusted the Navy.

Even the president secretly asked Marshall to plan how the United States should respond to the war plan if Japan invaded the U.S. mainland through the navy.

If it is not related to the security of the continental United States. Congress is not even willing to allocate any more money to the Navy. They preferred to lease their warships to other allies rather than hand them over to the navy.

If it wants to change this situation, the navy can only show excellent results.

"Order the Marines, the beachhead must be defended! The offensive was temporarily halted, the Air Force assisted the Marines in the attack on the port, and the fleet prepared for naval artillery support......"

Halsey was still very confident about taking the port, after all, the port was relatively empty, and there were few fortifications to rely on. It was impossible for the Japanese army to deploy too many forces there.

The U.S. military only needs to draw a portion of its forces. You will be able to occupy it smoothly.

"Report! Your Excellency, Commander, the American forces have begun to attack our harbor, and their bombers have begun to bomb our fortifications in the harbor......"

Soon. The news of the U.S. attack on the port reached Nobu Yokota. After being silent for a while, the calm Yokota Nobu could only order the troops to withdraw from their positions and retreat to the rear after a certain amount of resistance.

It was impossible for Yokota to place his troops in the harbor to fight the Americans, and although the harbor had some fortifications, the beachhead fortifications had already been occupied, so that the resistance on the harbor was meaningless except for greater losses.

"Blow up everything you can blow up. Don't leave anything for the Americans......" was the last order given by Yokota Shin. And Kurosaki Osa was puzzled and said, "Your Excellency, commander, why don't we continue to implement the positional blasting tactic?!" ”

"Kurosaki...... The Americans are not fools, and they will certainly be doubly careful after suffering a loss. If we continue to do this, they will definitely find out. This method of combat can only be carried out once, and the second time depends on the situation......"

At the height of the U.S. and Japanese battles on Wake Island, 30,000 Wehrmacht Marines were officially enlisted. These Marines were specially trained to attack the Japanese mainland.

They would be thrown into a landing operation, and only after the beachhead had been seized would the army attack.

In order to be able to put into actual combat as soon as possible. These marines were specially selected from all the coastal sons of the South China Military Region and the Southwest Military Region.

Among them, there are many former children of Minjiang and veterans near Fangchenggang in Gui Province. There are also a large number of coastal soldiers in northern Guangdong. And these warriors. All are veterans with a wealth of combat experience.

The advantages of the Wehrmacht can be seen from this, they have a large number of veterans. And many of these veterans have experienced actual combat, and when it is necessary to form targeted combat units, they can calmly draw adaptable veterans from various units to specialize in the formation of the team.

For example, the formation of tropical jungle and mountain combat units, the fighters of Gui Province, Yunnan Province, and northern Guangdong Province are extremely suitable. Many of them came from peasant or hunter families. It is extremely adapted to the tropical climate, and has a good physique to adapt to the training of mountain warfare.

The formation of snow combat troops, veterans in the three eastern provinces, Lu Province and other places are extremely adaptable. As for hardiness, the veterans of the three eastern provinces can undoubtedly occupy the top spot.

When the Wehrmacht needed to form a Marine Corps, the large number of fighters in the coastal areas became their choice. There were even quite a few fighters who were fishermen before entering the troops.

After a series of brutal combat tests, these fighters have become excellent soldiers. And they themselves do not have the problem of adaptability, and they can go directly into battle after training.

"What are these guys hesitating about?! Damn it, hurry up and defend their island! If they don't get out, how can Lao Tzu fight?! Shen Honglie angrily scolded in his headquarters.

He now desperately hoped that the Japanese fleet would leave the mainland and go to the island chain outside the mainland to defend against the American attack. As long as the Japanese fleet left, it would be able to conduct a naval landing operation exercise.

And Shen Honglie, commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht Navy, had already drawn up an operational plan at the General Staff of the Wehrmacht. The General Staff believes that problems will certainly arise when the troops are thrown into real combat all at once.

Therefore, the General Staff suggested that some other islands occupied by the Japanese army should first be found for landing combat exercises. And the first selected real combat island. It is the nearest big island in northern Guangdong, Qiong Island.

The Japanese still occupy Qiongdao, one of the few Chinese territories they still occupy. The Wehrmacht has always wanted to get the island back, but unfortunately the Navy has not been sure.

That's when it was delayed. After all, the rotten ship still has three pounds of nails. The Japanese Navy was once a large fleet that dominated the Pacific. The Wehrmacht would be foolish enough to think that they were invincible and go head-on to fight the Japanese Navy.

The Qiongzhou Strait is not far from northern Guangdong, and relatively speaking, this is the least difficult beach-grabbing landing battle. The General Staff of the Wehrmacht requested that the landing combat capability of the Marine Corps be tested with the help of this landing battle.

And when this battle was about to begin, Lu Han, the new commander of the South China Military Region, had already arrived in the Leizhou area of northern Guangdong with 500,000 main troops.

They were the troops who entered immediately after the Marines seized the beachhead. The task of the Marines is to seize the beachhead. Then guard until the army's combat units arrive.

"Old Shen, don't worry! I think these guys are probably more anxious than you! Lu Han said with a smile: "Now the Yankees have hit them with a stick, I don't believe they dare not move......

"You're not in a hurry. From Annam, you hit all the way to Thailand. Tell me how many battles you've been fighting here?! But what about me?! Shen Honglie raised his head, blew his beard and glared: "The group of cubs below have written me three times, and I won't get any more fights, these cubs can threaten me to transfer to the army......"

Shen Honglie's words made Lu Han laugh, and the navy did look at the army and the air force all kinds of battles along the way, and the eyes were green with envy. All are men of the Wehrmacht. Who doesn't want to go into battle and kill the enemy?!

Last Philippine campaign. The Navy is fighting for places. If it weren't for Shen Honglie's ruthless arrest of a few demotions and confinement, it is estimated that this snatching would become more and more intense.

In order to grab a place on the battlefield, Shen Honglie was harassed a lot. Except for Chen Shaokuan's seniority, they dare not grab the position. The rest of the places for even one sailor were grabbed.

Sa Zhenbing's status is too high, and the old man has always been inadequate, so no one dares to harass him. Shen Honglie was miserable, those old subordinates and subordinates came over one by one with hippie smiling faces, just to make a fight. A few bastards even had to give Shen Honglie a verdict.

The angry Shen Honglie almost broke the heads of those bastards with a vase on the spot, if it weren't for the vase that was really expensive, Lao Shen might have been ruthless.

"Old Lu~ You don't know. None of the children below me have a ...... that makes me worry" Shen Honglie said to Lu Han with a bitter and hateful face: "You are a full man, you don't know how hungry you are......"

At this time in Tokyo, Japan, there was also a lot of noise in the base camp. Nobu Yokota's telegram was put on the table. Hideki Tojo insisted that the navy must send troops.

The commander of the Combined Fleet of the Navy, Koga Fengichi, did not agree to send troops to Wake Island, and his strategy was directed to the line of Iwo Jima. Even Guam he was ready to give up.

"Red Deer Noro! What do you mean?! Do you want our warriors to wait for death on it?! Do we want the warriors we watched fight to the death with those Americans and be indifferent?! ”

A staff officer of the War Department jumped up and cursed, while a staff officer of the Navy stood up with a blank face and said: "The army can withdraw the garrison troops, and staying on Guam is meaningless to our strategy." ”

"Guam is too far from the mainland for us to be able to provide effective support......

"Your Excellency Chief Tojo has already said that we will give you plenty of fuel, what are you waiting for?! Is it true that there are only cowards left in your navy?! ”

Another army staff officer pointed at the naval staff officer's nose and cursed.

"Army horse manure! Who are you talking about who is a coward?! Do you want a duel?! Now let's get out of the square, I'm waiting for you! "The contradictions between the Japanese army and navy broke out again, and the two sides suddenly became tense.

After a while, the teacups and document bags flew wildly, but fortunately, the two sides were quite restrained. After all, there were their respective commanders, and neither side took further measures of force.

"That's it! What's the noise?! Is it time to quarrel?! The commander of the Yokota Division on Wake Island is still fighting desperately for the Empire, are you just wasting the time that the Emperor ** people bought for us with their lives?! ”

It was Ishihara Wan'er who spoke with a blue face. When the officers of the army saw that it was him, they immediately stopped squeaking. The officers of the navy sat down with a blue face at the signal of Koga Mineichi.

"I reiterate our opinion if it is to fight in the near sea. Even on Iwo Jima, our navy is relatively sure. Repaired ships and newly equipped warplanes. Plus the support of the army is enough for us to win......"

Koga Feng said to Hideki Tojo: "But if it's Wake Island, or Guam, forget it." We can only die if we go, and I believe you also know that the Allies have an instrument that can detect the course of our fleet and the direction of the battle. We probably didn't even reach the battlefield before we were discovered. What else is this fighting?! ”

The Navy is now clear that the oil and salt will not advance, and Hideki Tojo does not have the right to remove the commander of the Navy's Combined Fleet. Therefore, the two sides can only be at a stalemate in the end.

"And what about Guam?! Are we just giving up?! This is a springboard for the United States to attack us, and if it is all lost, it will be the homeland that is directly threatened! ”

Ishihara, who had not spoken all this time, spoke at this time, but saw him say to Hideki Tojo: "We can fight in Guam, just like Wake Island." We try our best to kill and injure the living forces of the US military, and I believe that there are not many Marines in the Americans, as long as we can kill and injure a large number of their living forces, I believe they will have some scruples......"

ps: Can you guess what the next action of the Americans will be?! Wake Island will definitely make the Americans suffer, but what will the Americans do after the loss?! You can guess it!
