Chapter 627: The Victory Is Decided
PS: Thank you for the reward of the book friend "Long Xinyue" and the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "Purple Soul Rui", and continue to ask for recommendation votes ^_^
Such arrogance will inevitably attract a large number of US troops, and then the special forces will choose to secretly withdraw from the ranks of the mob and call for air support at the expense of these cannon fodder, and soon the Japanese bombers will arrive and drop cluster bombs one after another, tearing the US troops who came to suppress the brigade to pieces
Although there are many garrisons on Oahu, there are also many places that need to be defended, and it is difficult to concentrate the troops, plus the thousands of people left by the 24th Division of the US Army, the number of troops that can be mobilized in an urgent hurry is only seven or eight thousand, and after being bombed again and again by the Japanese aircraft group and the sniping by the Japanese special forces, the losses are extremely heavy, and although most of the Japanese mob has not received formal military training, they can at least obey the command, Under the dispatch of special forces whose command ability was not inferior to that of ordinary Japanese squadron leaders, they behaved in a decent manner, and compared with those US troops whose command was chaotic due to the sniping of most of the grassroots officers, he even had a faint upper hand.
Of course, the premise of all this is that as long as the US artillery sounds, it will immediately attract the bombing of the Japanese planes, and after repeated many times, the US infantry has completely lost the support of artillery fire, at this time, the US field artillery has almost all been lost, and after the powerful fortress artillery is partially destroyed, the rest of the ones will not be able to hit the dead end where they are located.
Air support and artillery support are completely inferior, and when they can only compare marksmanship alone, these US troops, who are mainly recruits, are really not comparable to most of the Japanese special forces who can reach the level of snipers. In particular, the other side is still hiding in a large number of mobs, and if the two sides shoot at each other, the US military will kill regular soldiers, most of whom are officers, while the Japanese side will basically die some armed civilians, and in terms of nationality, they are often Americans
In desperation, the U.S. forces had to withdraw from areas beyond the control of the remnants of the fortress artillery, so that the Japanese mob would occupy large swaths of territory and thus coerce their neutral compatriots into fighting. It is worth mentioning. In order to prevent those people from turning against the water. Wang Zicai also used the ancient Chinese "name petition" to force those Japanese Americans to attack the wounded American soldiers who had lost their ability to fight and even the local American civilians, so as to cut off their back road, as for how innocent the victims were. The prince who wants Japan to sink into hell forever can't manage so much
Meanwhile. Nishitake's subordinates who followed him one after another launched an attack from behind against the U.S. coastal batteries that had not yet been destroyed. Although the U.S. Department of Defense, which spends a lot of money, has also strengthened the protection of the generally weakly defended rear of the coastal forts, not only have multiple hidden gun emplacements (although the caliber is not as exaggerated as the front) and machine gun firing holes behind each battery, but also the protective walls are quite thick. But they didn't expect that Nishitakeichi had already prepared for this, and specially brought 36 105mm self-propelled guns, while the planes of the HNA suppressed and bombarded the shelling port of the US army, these self-propelled guns quickly approached the target and aimed at the shelling, because the distance was extremely close, although the caliber was not very large, but the Japanese armor-piercing shells still had super penetrating power, and it did not take much effort to tear through the Zuihou defense line of the defenders of the fortress
If the Xizhu Ichi was still the previous armored troops, perhaps it would be more difficult to occupy the American forts, because the orthodox armored forces are mainly tanks, and the capture of the forts requires more infantry. But now Xizhu is leading the infantry brigade of the Marine Corps, and the tanks under his command are only a little more than a hundred, while there are hundreds of armored personnel carriers, carrying thousands of elite infantry, and almost all of them are equipped with individual cloud burst shells that have a strange effect in the battle, and it is too easy to occupy a fortress with the back door wide open with such a powerful liliang.
What's more, the U.S. military has always believed that there is no need to fight a battle with no hope of winning, although there are many examples of U.S. troops fighting bravely and skillfully in history, but knowing that they can't win or escape, they still fight to the death to Zuihou alone, but there is almost no one, not to mention that these garrison troops are basically artillery and other Jishu arms and non-combatants, let alone the determination to fight to Zuihou alone, so the remnants of the American troops in this fortress quickly laid down their arms and surrendered to the Japanese
One might think, since the Americans are so rich, why don't they simply build the back of the fortress impeccably? But this is not just a matter of money, if the fortress is also in accordance with the previous amendment, the entry and exit of materials and personnel will be greatly affected, which will also seriously affect the actual combat effectiveness of a fortress, in order to ensure the absolute safety behind the unlikely attack, and pay such a big price, in common sense it is absolutely not worth the loss, but they did not expect that the Japanese are not a normal nation
In fact, the losses of the Japanese army have been quite astonishing until now, and in addition to the losses suffered during the first two waves of air raids, the Japanese navy has more than 300 planes that have been shot down and damaged (and cannot continue to be used), and more than 200 pilots have been killed or missing. In addition to the 25 ace bomber pilots who had been killed in the previous suicide attacks, many more Japanese planes were shot down and damaged by American small-caliber anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns.
Because the small-caliber anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns on land were relatively small and flexible, they were very easy to hide and transfer, and even if someone was secretly directing, the first two Japanese air raids did not remove much of it. When the Japanese aircraft group launched the third wave of air raids with low-altitude ground bombing as its main task, it was natural that the US military that had already reacted one after another carried out a fierce counterattack with these close-range air defense weapons, and although the low-altitude bombing was highly accurate, it was also much more dangerous than the high-altitude bombing
Due to the proximity of the distance, even though the bombers and fighters of the Japanese Navy have been equipped with armor of different thicknesses in key parts, it is still difficult to resist the dense rain of bullets fired by small-caliber anti-aircraft guns and even anti-aircraft machine guns, and even the unlucky Japanese pilots were killed by ordinary machine guns piercing the cockpit canopy. Although the victory was ultimately achieved due to the tactical initiative of the aircraft, it is not difficult to understand that the Japanese naval aviation units suffered such losses that they had to have some Zero fighters carry bombs on bombing missions. But then again, in terms of bomb load alone, the heavy Zero fighter in this time and space is actually much larger than the old Japanese light bomber like the 99 ship explosion (to be continued......
