The Japanese soldiers on Iwo Jima were ready to meet the enemy's landing operation.

At this moment, inside the amphibious dock landing ship near the coastline, one by one the dejected soldiers, under the gun, stepped onto the amphibious landing craft.

It can be seen that these soldiers, who are dressed in the same uniforms as the Red Police Corps' previous uniforms, are quite negative in terms of mental outlook and demeanor and will.

It is said that people rely on clothes, but these military uniforms worn on the Red Police soldiers and focused on their spirits are very sluggish on these people.

Because these soldiers in military uniforms are not soldiers of the Red Guard Corps at all, they are all Japanese expatriates from the occupied areas, and they are not even soldiers, and naturally they are not soldiers.

Thousands of Japanese expatriates were armed, but in reality, the equipment on their bodies was a non-lethal imitation.

Everyone here has contributed information to the Japanese Empire, and they can be regarded as patriotic youths.

But in the eyes of the Red Guard, they are all damned existences, if it weren't for Iwo Jima's need for cannon fodder, they would all be in the cold winter mining area of Alaska, working to death.

This is their only chance to survive and their last chance to survive.

Although he was very reluctant to go to the battlefield, no one had a choice, and some people had already been immediately executed for disobeying orders, and when the bullets passed through the heads of those guys, the brains and blood were splashed, so that everyone did not dare to disobey in the slightest.

On the five dock landing ships, each of which had two hundred cannon fodder, exactly formed a landing force of a thousand people.

The Japanese soldiers who were caught up in the landing craft looked at the open dock hatch, and then under the whistle, the landing craft quickly left the dock.

The sea was calm, and the Japanese on the island had already been taught a good lesson.

On the contrary, the fleet once again launched a large-scale artillery bombardment of Iwo Jima, especially the area of the landing front, covering it with the most intensive artillery fire.

On the landing craft, many of the Japanese expatriates who saw this scene showed a happy look on their faces, and it seemed that everything was much better than expected.

Those cold Red Police Imperial soldiers didn't really let them go ashore to die, such a dense fire cover, unprecedented, also made a large number of Japanese expatriates feel a little at ease.

The beach is located at the foot of Mt. Oriba, stretching northeast along the coast for a total length of more than three kilometers.

In the landing plan of the Red Guard Corps, this landing site is used as a landing point every 500 meters, and it has a special code name, and the landing troops must clearly recognize the code name of their landing point and cannot make mistakes.

Six landing battles, a thousand Japanese expatriates, delivered by landing craft, soon landed on the beachhead, and one after another the landing craft washed directly onto the beach.

However, when the Japanese expatriates who rode inside stepped onto the beach, they realized that the war had only just begun.

What stood in front of him was not the defensive firepower of the Japanese army on the island, but the Japanese troops on the island counterattacked quite weakly.

What really stood in front of the amphibious landing craft was the soft coastline, especially the sandy beach near the water, covered with thick volcanic ash, which made it difficult for the tracked amphibious landing craft to approach the beachhead.

Hundreds of amphibious landing craft were delayed in the volcanic ash almost at the same time, and the very soft sand, sea mud and volcanic ash made the landing craft have to stop when approaching the beachhead, so the Japanese expatriates on the boat had no choice but to disembark and then wade forward.

The Japanese troops on the island, including Tadamichi Awabayashi, thought that the landing battle had begun.

After all, the enemy had already landed on the beachhead, and the artillery fire had begun to extend, Awabayashi Tadamichi gave the order, the defending troops immediately defended, a large number of Japanese soldiers, from the tunnel into the defensive position, under the calculated defensive shooting data, the Japanese artillery fire accurately fell on the head of the landing force.

The Japanese expatriates who had just landed were crushed to death on the beach in an instant, suffering heavy casualties and making it difficult for them to continue their advance.

Honda Shimoki, who had not shifted his position, remained at the observation port, and the Type 97 sniper rifle with a scope in his hand was also aimed at the figure on the beach.

However, when he saw the messy landing on the beach, he instinctively frowned.

The enemies in the sniper scope are all scattered, and their demeanor does not look like a soldier at all, and from the way the other party shouts, it seems to be Japanese.

Although there have been quite a lot of rumors in Japan about the opponent of the Red Police Empire, many people have heard that the enemy is very strong, and every soldier of the Red Police Empire is not afraid of death, which is more terrifying than any opponent.

However, these are just rumors to everyone on Iwo Jima, after all, no one has seen them with their own eyes.

Judging from the equipment on the other party, it is indeed the enemy, advanced assault rifles, and a large number of individual equipment, which looks eye-catching.

However, Honda Shimoki was still a little uneasy, and the finger that pulled the trigger was never pressed.

Just when Honda hesitated, on the sea in the distance, a dense number of rockets rushed to his face, and in just an instant, he covered Iwo Jima, on the Japanese defensive position.

On the warship, all the rockets fired at a rapid salvo and the artillery fire broke out in an instant, completely covering the width of the landing probe of 3,000 meters.

Many Japanese soldiers who came out of the tunnel fell into the trenches under the intense rocket fire.

Many of the exposed bunkers were also quickly destroyed.

Seeing this scene, Honda got off the tree, and did not hesitate, aiming at an enemy who had just gotten up from the sea, pulling the trigger, and naturally drawing an arc in the sky, hitting the guy who had just gotten up from the sea, and easily took his life.

Honda, who made a decisive move, got off the tree, quickly aimed, and then shot, and when he killed three enemies, he found that on the beachhead where he landed, there were no enemies who could still stand up.

Patches of corpses fell on the beach, and the waves swept over them, and the waves were stained red with blood.

However, the Japanese side also paid a lot of price, on the beachhead, after many firepower points were exposed, they were destroyed, the defense line began to become unstable, and the 7,000 naval garrison had less than 2,000 people left.

In the headquarters of the Oriba Mountain, Awabayashi Tadamichi also realized that he had been deceived again, and he did not expect the enemy to be so decisive and actually sacrifice a thousand people as bait.

Because if these thousands of people were not decoys, then the enemy's landing must be wave after wave, and it could not be only this wave, but when he realized it, it was a little late.
