A thunderbolt on a sunny day, the words of the chief of staff, Major General Nobuto, shook Lieutenant General Hirano's thinking, blank, and his eyes were as wide as bells, how could it be? The Americans, who have already been captured, still have the ability and courage to fight back?

Lieutenant General Hirano was so surprised that he was almost stunned, and he was greatly relieved by the words of the Commander, and Miss Yumiko, who thought that she was in the most seductive position, looked at His Excellency the Lieutenant General with a pale face, and was really worried that he would suddenly pass out.

Suddenly, Lieutenant General Hirano yelled, "Yaga, nonsense, Chief of Staff Nobuto, have you verified the situation?" How could the Americans fight back, it must be the pig-brained commander on the front line, who launched an attack in advance, and immediately find out, this bastard, I can't spare him! ”

On the other end of the phone, Chief of Staff Nobuto smiled bitterly and said: "Your Excellency Commander, I have already verified that it was indeed the Americans who launched a counterattack, because the attack came too suddenly, without warning in advance, and all divisions and regiments are now in chaos, and the specific situation has not yet been clarified, but I have already issued an order, all divisions and regiments, be sure to send the Americans back!" ”

After the initial shock and panic, Lieutenant General Hirano calmed down, yes, what can the Americans do if they suddenly counterattack, I have more than 100,000 troops, even if I step on them, I can also trample to death the American soldiers who were beaten to the point of only half a breath, "Nobuto-kun, your order is very correct, I will rush to the headquarters immediately, and you will find out the situation on the front line immediately!" ”

Putting down the phone, Lieutenant General Hirano, who was very gentlemanly, said to Yumiko, who was pale in her face, stiff in her jade body, and full of horror, "Yumiko." Don't worry, it's just the dying throes of the Americans, I'll go to the command and deal with it. You can continue to sleep peacefully, and after dawn, I will send someone to pick you up! A gentle kiss, Miss Yumiko's peach cheeks, cold lips.

When he left the ambiguous room and sat in the car, Lieutenant General Hirano couldn't help but shake his head secretly. "It's a woman after all, and the slightest sound of gunfire scares her like this! Isn't it the dying throes of Americans. So what, it's just a quicker death! ”

After arriving at the headquarters, Lieutenant General Hirano realized that things were not as simple as he had imagined. It is believed that the report of the chief of staff of the Touto. Because of the suddenness of the incident, the battlefield became chaotic from the beginning, and the worst thing was that the battle was in full swing, and it was impossible to judge that it was the main direction of the US army's counterattack, and the US soldiers and the Imperial soldiers were fighting together. All heavy weapons have lost their usefulness.

Lieutenant General Hirano was furious. He couldn't believe that the Seventh Army, which had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, was so confused under the attack of more than 60,000 American soldiers that he couldn't even figure out where the enemy was.

The answer he received frustrated him, and the answers of the division commanders were almost unanimous, "Your Excellency Commander, our troops are in a fierce battle, and all the troops are engaged with the enemy, and it seems that the direction of the Americans' counterattack covers all our positions, and what is even more serious is that our front-line troops were suddenly shelled by American artillery, and suffered heavy casualties!" ”

"What?" Lieutenant General Hirano angrily threw down the phone, hell, why didn't the artillery from the Americans show up when they attacked them for the first time? The position built by the Imperial Army was so vulnerable that the American soldiers who were bound to be captured broke through one after another, and the combat effectiveness of the Imperial soldiers was what they imagined in their minds?

Also, where did the morale and guts of the Americans come from to fight back? Lieutenant General Hirano yelled at the chief of staff, Major General Nobuto: "Chief of Staff Nobuto, immediately order the artillery commander, Major General Kijiro Mori, to open fire on all artillery groups and immediately destroy the artillery positions of the US army!" ”

If you calculate the number and caliber of artillery, the artillery of the US Second Army is not at all the opponent of the Japanese artillery, and in an artillery battle, the Americans do not have the capital to do so, and it is normal for the artillery to be destroyed after the artillery is exposed.

Lieutenant General Harrison also knew this clearly, so he ordered the artillery groups of the group army and each division to immediately take up arms after all the shells were exhausted, and the artillery was changed to infantry to counterattack with the troops.

However, he could not find even a shadow of the US artillery, and Lieutenant General Hirano, who was dizzy, did not expect that these most advanced 155 mm howitzers of the United States were originally trophies of the Seventh Army, and after the total annihilation of the Second Army of the US Army, these artillery pieces were in the bag of the Seventh Army, which was enough to equip three or four artillery wings of the Japanese army.

In terms of performance and power, it is not comparable to the 120 mm caliber field guns equipped by the Japanese field artillery, it may be that God does not let the Japanese fill in the fat and gain weight, and the howitzers that have already arrived in hand have been turned into parts everywhere under the shells of the Japanese flying locusts, so that the Americans themselves have to blow up these artillery, in fact, when the Japanese artillery returned fire, the US artillery had stopped shelling for more than 20 minutes, and this matter became one of the laughing stocks of the Seventh Army after the war!

The commander of the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Division of the US Marine Corps, Colonel Hodersman, was one of the only four regiment commanders who fought bloody battles with the Japanese Seventh Army on the island of Hawaii since the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, and his regiment was relatively complete in its establishment, and fought with the Japanese army for more than 20 days.

From the regiment commander, Colonel Hodesmann, to the ordinary soldiers, they all knew very well that the Japanese treated prisoners of war cruelly, therefore, the third regiment was one of the American units that rushed to the front, and the fighting was brave and fierce, and the flashing fire of the Japanese artillery position attracted the attention of Colonel Hodesmann, and after breaking up a group of Japanese soldiers, his blood-red eyes were fixed on the Japanese artillery position.

With his own regiment, through the chaotic battlefield, he turned out to be Colonel Hodesman. Touching the location of one of the largest artillery groups in the Japanese army, this is a wing-sized artillery group, but there is only one squadron of guard troops, the American soldiers, under the leadership of Colonel Hoddersman, rushed to the Japanese artillery position, and after killing a squadron of Japanese soldiers, they blew up sixty or seventy artillery pieces all over the place!

In the end, the 3rd Regiment was surrounded by the swarming Japanese regiments, fought to the last man, and the whole army was annihilated, and the regiment commander, Colonel Hoddersman, was killed by more than ten guns, but in this battle of disparity in strength, it was the only American unit of the entire Second Army that took out a Japanese artillery wing.

In the chaos of the middle of the night, the U.S. army fought with a decisive momentum, desperate counterattack, the initial effect was very obvious, the Japanese army of more than 100,000 troops, was caught off guard, and the night became the best cover for the U.S. military's melee, however, the U.S. army's Jedi counterattack could not change the fact that there was a huge disparity in strength, after dawn, the advantage of the Japanese army's strength gradually appeared, and the initiative on the battlefield turned to the Japanese army!

By the evening of 6 July, more than 60,000 US soldiers, more than 20,000 had already suffered casualties, and the Japanese army had divided and surrounded several areas with superior forces.

If, Lieutenant General Yoshiki Hirano, at this time, can take military pressure on the US army as a supplement, mainly to persuade surrender, after most of the night and a day of fierce fighting, the blood in the bones of the US soldiers, has been exhausted, the sharp spirit is lost, originally thought that they would definitely die, but the result is still alive, the desire to survive, the courage and determination to overcome the death, in the face of the division and encirclement of the Japanese army, raise their hands and surrender, that is the inevitable result!

At a critical time, Lieutenant General Yoshiki Hirano made another stupid move, and in front of reporters, especially in front of the beautiful Miss Yumiko, Lieutenant General Hirano, who had lost all his face, became angry and took an extreme approach!

He ordered all divisions and regiments to pull the American prisoners of war captured on the battlefield to the front of the American position, and cut off their heads in front of the remaining more than 30,000 American soldiers, and hung the bodies of the American soldiers without heads on coconut trees.

In this way, although the reporters did not see the three-dimensional offensive performance of the joint army and air force and the coordination of various arms of the armed forces, they also saw the spectacular scene of tens of thousands of US soldiers lining up to surrender with their hands raised, which proved from another angle that the combat effectiveness of the Seventh Army could also achieve satisfactory results.

Of course, after the reporters left, Lieutenant General Hirano would not keep these American prisoners of war who had lost face.

However, it backfired, and the American soldiers who once again witnessed the atrocities of the Japanese soldiers were not intimidated, but aroused the courage to fight to the death, and if they surrendered, they would not save their lives.

The U.S. soldiers were divided and encircled in the area, and the Japanese encirclement troops, dogs and teeth were staggered, the Japanese artillery was useless at all, a shell fell, maybe it exploded on their own heads, the next battle was a contest of infantry light weapons, almost all of the U.S. troops equipped with automatic weapons, with the weapons in their hands, and the Japanese army fought for five days, and the blood of the soldiers on both sides almost stained the beautiful island of Hawaii.

By the afternoon of 10 July, less than 5,000 of the more than 60,000 US soldiers remained, and these 5,000 were the remnants of the Third Marine Division of the Third Marine Division who fought with Lieutenant General Harrison, the commander.
