Volume 1 On the Songhua River Chapter 1615 A Bloody Day (Part II)

The smoke of gunpowder in the air has dissipated, and the water column on the sea surface has also calmed, and there is no more shrill bomb screams, only the wreckage of the burning US landing craft and the corpses of US soldiers floating on the sea and lying on the beach, indicating that just ten minutes ago, they had just experienced a sudden aerial massacre.

Lieutenant General Harrison, with a blue face, listened to the staff officer's report, "Your Excellency, in the air raid just now, the heaviest losses were a regiment of the 9th and 10th Mechanized Infantry Divisions that had landed on Hawaii Island, in addition, the other two regiments of the 10th Division, on the sea, also suffered a lot of losses, and the two divisions of the Marine Corps, because it was the second wave of landing, suffered slight losses. ”

"According to statistics, our army suffered about more than 1,700 casualties, of which more than 1,000 were killed, 45 tanks were lost, more than 60 artillery pieces of various calibers were lost, and 23 landing craft were sunk.

"Enough!" Lieutenant General Harrison roared and rudely interrupted the staff officer's report, in less than twenty minutes of air raids, the Second Army lost nearly a regiment of troops, more than a regiment of tanks and artillery, the lieutenant general's heart, like a knife cut, was as painful as a knife, and it was not good to go out of the division, and it was only in his heart

i inbound aircraft caused.

"Airplane!" Vice Admiral Harrison was shocked, the air combat area was far away, and the escort fleet was dispatched with all carrier-based aircraft, just in case

There are still planes for the second wave of air raids, so won't the landing force have no air cover?

Harrison hurriedly said to the staff officer: "Order Vice Admiral Fallwood, commander of the escort fleet, to stop the pursuit."

I Army aircraft, mainly to protect the airspace safety of the landing site! Sue him, he's not here to fight an air battle! ”

After a while, the staff officer reported, "Your Excellency, Commander, General Folwood has called back and has been evacuated

I military aircraft group, forming a situation of encirclement, is annihilation

The best time for the air power of the I Army, and our carrier-based aircraft group, has already been

I military aircraft are entangled and it is difficult to get out of the battlefield, therefore, the commander's order cannot be carried out, please understand! ”

Vice Admiral Harrison was so angry that he almost jumped to his feet and cursed, and shouted to the communications staff officer, "Pick up the fleet command immediately, I want to speak directly to Admiral Fallwood!" Lieutenant General Harrison had an instinctive premonition,

The group of aircraft that I entered appeared suddenly, and the evacuation was even more strange, although the number of carrier-based aircraft in the fleet was exceeded

I into the plane, but,

The planes of the i-in, not without the ability to continue bombing, but why should they evacuate?

Lieutenant General Harrison picked up the intercom, "General Fallwood, in the name of the commander of the Eastern Pacific Theater of Operations, I solemnly order you to immediately order the carrier-based aircraft group to break away from the battle and immediately rush back to the airspace of the landing site, the only task of the fleet is to ensure the air safety of the landing force, remind you to pay attention,

The withdrawal of the military aircraft group is unconventional! ”

Vice Admiral Falwood was not small, and replied in a tough voice: "Your Excellency, I repeat, the carrier-based aircraft fleet has already been matched

The group of aircraft that I was in, entangled, simply could not get out of the battle, and the anti-aircraft fire of the fleet, which would provide air cover for the landing force! ”

Vice Admiral Harrison almost crushed and scolded, "You don't have a backache when you fucking stand and talk, the fleet mooring, more than a dozen nautical miles away from the landing site, and your high shè guns can hit the beaches of Hawaii Island?" Hell, how did you meet such a stupid person who doesn't have a brain! ”

Angry in his heart, Lieutenant General Harrison spoke politely, "General Fallwood, this is an order, there is no room for bargaining, if my landing force is in the sky, there is one."

I entered the plane, you just wait to go to the court-martial! As for how to get out of the battlefield, that's your business, what I want is to ensure that the landing force will not be attacked again

I Ben into the bombing of the plane! ”

After roaring, Vice Admiral Harrison threw down the intercom fiercely, and on the flagship of the "McKin", Vice Admiral Fallwood's temper was not small, and he smashed the intercom and scolded through gritted teeth: "This coward, coward, the newly formed Pacific Fleet, needs a complete victory too much to restore the morale and morale of the army. ”

However, Lieutenant General Harrison's words also had a deterrent effect, no matter how crazy Lieutenant General Fallwood was, he would not dare to take military orders as a child's play, if there was really another bomb and fell on the head of the landing force, with that guy's personality and the background of the former deputy chief of staff of the army, he would definitely send himself to a military court-martial, refusing to carry out the orders of his superiors is a taboo in the army, and there is no good fruit to eat after winning a battle!

Lieutenant General Fallwood, huffing and puffing, ordered: "Immediately order the 1st, 3rd, and 4th Wings of carrier-based fighters to immediately break away from the battle, rush back to the airspace where the landing force is located, and carry out the mission of air vigilance, and the 2nd and 5th Carrier-based Fighter Wings, continue to fight."

I military aircraft group to attack! ”

The landing craft trembled violently, the hatch in front of it burst open, and Lieutenant General Harrison, waving his hand to drive away a few guards and staff officers who had come to support him, "plopped", jumped into the almost roofless seawater, and waded to the shore with great difficulty.

Finally landed on the beach of Hawaii Island, if there is no war, the beach here will be a dream-like hall, the blue water, gently lapping the shore, the soft fine sand on the shore, the gentle caress of your skin, Hawaii beach, is a place to find dreams and create zào dreams!

But now, the beach presented to Lieutenant General Harrison was almost a hellish scene, with huge craters, golden sand, gunpowder smoke from aerial bomb explosions, dyed black and brown, and the craters were already seeping with seawater, and in the seawater, floating with the stumps and broken arms of American soldiers, and the red blood, the air waves of the explosion, and the corpses of soldiers thrown on the beach, swaying helplessly with wave after wave.

A landing site, the death of more than 1,000 soldiers, the mutilated corpses, the craters everywhere, the shattered weapons, the mottled bloodstains, and the burning tank wreckage, the beautiful Hawaiian beach, can no longer see the dreamlike beauty, the tenderness of love, turned into a slaughterhouse, turned into hell, and became the burial place of more than a thousand American soldiers!

Lieutenant General Harrison, who closed his eyes tightly and sighed sadly, ordered the staff officer: "Order all divisions to register the identities of the fallen soldiers, bury the bodies immediately, and don't let the troops who land later see this qiē!" ”

Lieutenant General Harrison, who had just finished giving the order, heard the roar of engines in the middle of nowhere, dozens of them

The group of bombers of the I Army, like crows smelling death, appeared above the heads of the American soldiers, getting closer and closer, and in the clear sky of Hawaii, the American soldiers could clearly see it.

Under the wings of the I Army plane, the blood-red sun symbol is dazzling!

Previously arranged anti-aircraft fire points, immediately aligned

The bomber group of the I Army opened fire, a string of high shè machine gun bullets, one high shè shell, with the fear and nervousness of the American soldiers, flew into the sky, weaving a net of fire, but Lieutenant General Harrison knew that this was far from enough, and the hastily arranged anti-aircraft fire points were not enough to cover the entire landing site, and a part of the troops was destined to be attacked

The slaughter of the bombers of the I Army!

His own judgment unfortunately became a fact, "Folwood, you stubborn fool, you will pay a heavy price for this qiē!" Lieutenant General Harrison muttered to himself!

Several guards with big shoulders and round waists hurriedly pulled the lieutenant general and ran, and while running, they shouted eagerly: "Your Excellency, commander, lie down and air defense!" "Air defense?" Lieutenant General Harrison laughed at himself, the bare beach, not even a rock in sight, where to hide?

The bomber group of the I Army is already preparing to enter the bombing channel, and the disaster of the American soldiers has once again befallen the United States, and it should be that God has favored the United States to enter, and I can't bear to see them flying flesh and blood again, just at this most critical time, get rid of it

The Pacific Fleet, which was entangled with the fighters of the I Army, and the 1st, 3rd, and 4th wings of carrier-based fighters arrived in time.

The fighter with a light body and a fast body, against a clumsy and slow bomber, there was almost no suspense in the air battle, and a deafening sound of machine guns almost drowned out the sound of anti-aircraft fire on the ground.

The bomber group of the I Army, leaving behind half of the bombers and crew members, fled from the bombed airspace in a wolf, and the terrified American soldiers all had a sense of happiness for the rest of their lives!

On the one hand, he no longer dared to disobey the order, and on the other hand, according to the calculation of the time spent in the air, the fuel of the carrier-based aircraft was almost gone, and if he did not land the ship to refuel, he was afraid that he would fall into the sea, so he decisively gave the order to return home.

At the same time as ordering the carrier-based aircraft to return home, Vice Admiral Folwood, there was a subtle change in his feelings about Vice Admiral Harrison, "This seemingly cowardly guy has a sensitivity to danger beyond the norm, and it is not simple! He thought to himself.

Of course, Commander Harrison would not know that his image in the mind of Vice Admiral Fallwood had changed a lot invisibly, and at this time, the two Marine divisions of the US Army that landed in the second wave had already approached the landing site, and the soldiers were trudging hard in the almost roofless seawater, but such a wading landing was one of the subjects that the Marine Corps soldiers were commonplace and often trained!

Therefore, the Marine Corps soldiers waded extremely fast, and the formation between the regiments remained basically unchanged, much stronger than the troops of the 9th and 10th Divisions of the mechanized troops, and even Lieutenant General Harrison showed a rare satisfied smile when he saw it.

The crisis of landing US troops, along with

The repulsion of the I military aircraft group seems to have passed, and what remains is the land battle on the island of Hawaii, and almost all the American commanders think so, however, is this really the case?
