Chapter 350: Iwo Jima Battle Record (5)

The battle for Iwo Jima entered the eleventh day.

During this day, the enemy had swept away all the defensive points on the periphery of Oriba Mountain, and advanced the battlefield to the main tunnel group of Oriba Mountain.

Over the past eleven days, Shimoki Honda has known that one after another soldiers have chosen to surrender, and the enemy has accepted this surrender in order to make the battle on Iwo Jima easier.

But the enemy will not always be gentle in carrying out the policy of persuasion.

In the completely enclosed tunnels and trenches, a large number of canister-like boxes were thrown into the trenches, and these boxes threw white smoke in the form of dry ice in the trenches and trenches, and soon the people inside could not even see their own hands.

It's just that this method is not very useful in the trenches that have continuous groups and extend in all directions, after all, the Japanese can escape to the depths of the trenches.

And these underground trenches and tunnels, which had been operated by the Japanese for a long time, were full of danger for the Red Guard Corps.

Attacking such a place, even if the elite special forces of the twenty-first century enter it, will not be of much benefit.

After all, it's a bunch of crazy people inside.

Naturally, the marines of the Red Guard Corps had no idea of forcing the attack, and the casualties of the marines in the attack on Iwo Jima remained at an extremely low level, so they naturally would not lose too many troops in the final attack.

What's more, whether these Japanese troops on Iwo Jima were wiped out in a month or in a day, there was no difference to the Red Guard Corps.

Because the Japanese garrison on the island can no longer set off any storms.

At this time, the main force of the Fourth Theater of Operations had already landed on the Ogasawara Islands, and Iwo Jima was already the rear of the battlefield, and most of the troops had already withdrawn from the island, except for the defenders of the two Marine Corps left on the island.

And the troops who stayed behind were only selectively playing with the Japanese soldiers on the island.

For this reason, the Supreme Command of the Red Guard Corps also made a decision to allow Japanese soldiers who were willing to surrender on the battlefield and not to abuse them, but still did not accept prisoners captured on the battlefield.

A round of smoke grenades failed, and the Red Guard Regiment switched to gas shells.

Tear gas bombs, yellow phosphorus gas, nitrogen, and all kinds of bombs were dropped on the exits of every tunnel and trench around Oribo Mountain, so that many Japanese soldiers inside could not breathe with difficulty, and the empty warehouse was wheezing violently, and many people fainted on the ground.

Those who were emaciated or wounded soldiers also died because of this, but fortunately, this poisonous gas was only temporary and quickly evaporated.

Honda Shimoki also fainted with many soldiers, and he woke up in the fresh air circulation in the trenches.

And after several successive "poison gas" attacks, the Japanese soldiers in the trenches quickly learned how to deal with them.

That is, it is necessary to ensure the ventilation of the inside of the trenches and tunnels, as long as it can be ventilated, even while sleeping, it will not die because of it.

But if you try to block all the entrances and exits and avoid this kind of attack, you will really end it all.

Therefore, many Japanese soldiers choose to sleep in a well-ventilated place, and someone will check the ventilated environment at any time, and notify everyone if there is a change.

Under such an attack, there were still very few Japanese soldiers who came out to surrender.

Just like the attack on Iwo Jima by the U.S. military in history, a similar situation occurred, when the U.S. military struggled to capture most of Iwo Jima, and also encountered the stubborn Japanese.

In the face of various persecution methods by the United States, the Japanese at that time also refused to surrender, and the Americans sighed at that time:

"The Japanese army has a philosophy of 'never surrendering'. The U.S. military was opposed to surrendering while there was hope, but it was unreasonable to apply such a philosophy in a state of despair at the time.

The battle of the Japanese soldiers has long reached the stage of meaninglessness. What is the use of just hiding in the ground? There is absolutely no reason not to surrender.

The wise men surrendered before they suffered heavy losses, but there was no such simple philosophy in the Japanese army. ”

……

Unlike the Americans, the Red Guard Corps does not care whether the Japanese in it surrender or not, for the Red Guard soldiers on Iwo Jima at this moment, those Japanese rats hidden underground are a good life in the boring days.

Also able to tune occasionally. Play those rats underground, why not.

In the afternoon of the same day, the soldiers of the Red Guard Corps on the island brought water pumps from the sea and led them into the trenches and tunnels, but in these seawaters, a large amount of gasoline was poured into it, and once it was used, it would not only be killed, but also make the human body weaker.

However, the Japanese soldiers inside did not know that Honda Shimoki, who was resting on the ground, suddenly heard the exclamations of the others, and he hurried there.

In the depths of the underground trenches, the ground glistened, and a large number of soldiers gathered around, and it was very chaotic.

As he looked down, Honda Shimoki became suspicious of himself, it was a water, glittering water.

I don't know where the water came from, but it gradually increased, and many soldiers who were close to the depths of the soldiers had their waists already spread by the water.

This made all the Japanese soldiers quite excited, because they had been separated from the water for too long.

Amid the cheers, some people began to take a bath, and some people began to swim.

No one cared about the turbidity of the water, nor did they care that the water washed away the urine and urine and began to stink because of the hygienic conditions.

Honda Shimoki had a very disgusting feeling, watching many people swimming in the water unscrupulously, he really wanted to vomit, the water in front of him, in his eyes, was more like Lantern Festival soup.

The stench of seawater flowing down the trenches was mixed with gasoline and a large amount of filth in the tunnels.

Honda had suffered an arm injury before leaving the tree, and immediately left the spreading water, and the wound became infected after the bacteria entered the water, and the death in the pit without medicine was almost irreversible.

And many of the wounded soldiers, after seeing the water, also went crazy, forgot everything and gathered at the water's edge.

Honda's act of going down the tree allowed him to save his life, because as the water increased, a grenade flowed into the depths of the trench along the spot where the water appeared.

An explosion came from underwater, the gasoline in the water was ignited, and the surface of the water instantly became a sea of fire. Soldiers, naked in the water, were swallowed up by a sea of fire.

In the sea of fire, the high temperature of the fire caused many people to be burned instantly, and many of the skin on the bodies of the Japanese soldiers who shouted in pain fell off because of this.

When Honda got down from the tree, he saw a soldier who had been burned, and all the skin on his body had fallen off, like a ghost crawling out of hell.
