Chapter 310: Living Hell (Part II)
The waiting time is always tormenting.
Kiyoshi Nagakawaguchi has faced the bay many times, looking forward to the arrival of the Nagoya Division.
Just when Maruyama Masao clearly told him that the Nagoya Division was about to arrive, it was also on this day that an aerial fortress bomber of the Red Guard Corps dropped a dense bomb.
In the Japanese headquarters, the radio station, office supplies, and cooking utensils were all blown up, and the passwords, orders, files, including all the battle materials, were all burned.
And on this day, Kiyoshi Nagakawaguchi was once again taken to the hospital, and shrapnel from the explosion penetrated his back, cutting off two ribs.
The hospital is surrounded by an open sea, and after Nagakawaguchi Kiyoshi woke up, he still stood on the beach every day, gritting his teeth and enduring hunger, waiting for reinforcements from the sea.
There is always something for those who wait.
Reinforcements have finally arrived.
On this day, the Japanese Navy's high-speed battleships Hiei and Kirishima arrived on Guadalcanal, just as the previous destruction of the airfield by the Third Fleet, and the two battleships once again shelled the airfield.
The difference is that this time, there is no Japanese presence in the airport.
However, the Japanese did not know that the airfield on Guadalcanal was not used by the Red Guard Corps at all, and the airfield was just an empty shell from beginning to end.
The old artillery bombardment, as everyone knows, the enemy that the Japanese army faced this time is no longer just three battleships before.
The battlefield with Guadalcanal as the core, the Japanese have become more and more difficult to be fooled, and the main aircraft carriers of the Navy have no longer continued to come here, and the value of Guadalcanal's existence has been fully developed.
Later, Nagakawaguchi Kiyoshi learned that near Guadalcanal, although there was no main force of the enemy's aircraft carriers, four super battleships, four dreadnought first-class battleships, and a large number of cruisers and destroyers, it can be said that there was an iron wall on the sea like an iron barrel.
On the same day, fierce naval battles were repeated in the bay of Guadalcanal.
Kiyoshi Nagakawaguchi didn't know how to fight naval battles, so he could only join the other wounded soldiers, on the shore next to the hospital, shouting for his fleet.
The dark night made the naval battle not real, and the logistics station of the 17th Army was located here in the hospital, and a lieutenant in charge of espionage simply set up a radio on the beach to listen to the results of the naval battle.
On the surface of the sea, where you can't see your fingers, flares are lit from time to time, and the roar of the giant cannon seems to open the whole sea, and the sky in the distance is full of cannon fire.
A battleship was hit, and the rising flames became the most obvious target, and all the shells could be seen smashing towards the point of light.
The sound of the explosion was like a thunderstorm on a sunny day, the powder magazine was hit, and the huge explosion caused the battleship to split in two, and quickly sank into this bay where too many warships had been buried.
The people watching the naval battle on the island did not know which side of the battleship it was, but the high mast did not look too comfortable.
And the naval battles at night, especially the battleship bombardment, are really exciting.
The tracer bullets used by various warships are colorful, and the night sky is full of ribbons.
Under the naval battle, the identification lights turned on from time to time, or the lights, are like lighthouses, bright and bright.
If it weren't for the war, it would have been an absolutely glamorous show.
The radio on the island, full of noise, curses, command orders and interference, fortunately, became a pot of porridge.
On the island, where the sea could not be seen, a dense number of torpedoes swooped down on the target, and many warships were torpedoed directly into the sea.
In this limited bay, the torpedo was far more effective than the battleship's main guns, and in every naval battle, the torpedoes on both sides seemed to be free of money.
The fierce naval battle lasted more than an hour, and then it ended in a hurry, and one side, under the cover of the bay, withdrew from the battle.
In the midst of nervous waiting, the sky gradually brightened.
To the despair of all the Japanese on the island, there were only a few wounded warships waiting for silence on the sea, all of which belonged to the Japanese Navy.
The Red Guard Navy on one side of the war has already withdrawn from the bay.
Here, the Japanese simply could not rescue the soldiers who fell into the water, because this area was already under the control of the Red Guard Corps.
The Japanese Navy was able to venture closer, but each time at a heavy cost.
Soon after, a result of the battle appeared in the hands of the Japanese on the island, which was the report of the 11th Battlefleet in charge of the operation to the 17th Army last night: sinking eight enemy heavy cruisers, thirteen destroyers, and damaging two battleships......
If it had been before, I would definitely believe this report of the Navy, but whoever has read too many such reports has long been numb.
Since the outbreak of the Guadalcanal battlefield, if every point of the navy's battle report is combined, the Navy ships of the Red Alert Empire have long been invisible in the Pacific Ocean.
Because the total number of enemy ships destroyed by the Japanese Navy has long exceeded the total number of warships of the White Tiger Fleet and the amphibious battle group combined.
In fact, the Japanese soldiers on the island were more willing to believe what they could get from the enemy.
After every battle, there is always news from the enemy on the island.
Everyone in the Red Police Empire speaks Chinese, which is a very familiar language for many people in the Sendai Division, and it is not difficult to understand.
Kiyoshi Nagakawaguchi is also proficient in Chinese, otherwise he would not have been treated so well.
After all, there is no shortage of a Nakasa like him on the island.
In last night's naval battle, the Japanese 11th battleship fleet was actually finished, and in the end, the remaining Kirishima was wounded and evacuated from the bay, but it was quickly intercepted and destroyed by the carrier-based aircraft of the Red Alert Empire.
And in the battle last night, the Kirishima was hit by the ammunition depot and directly cut into two, silent on the sea.
As for the Nagoya Division, which followed the fleet, and the large amount of supplies it had transported, they were all sunk not far from the beach.
After swallowing the last piece of rice ball, Kiyoshi Nagakawaguchi walked to the beach, leaning on a rock and panting.
On the sea, several troop carriers emitting black smoke approached the beach crookedly, and the Japanese officers and men on board climbed down from the deck in a swarm and waded to the island.
Most of them were wounded, their faces blackened with smoke, their uniforms stained with blood, and many of them were even supporting each other.
They remained on board only with rifles, heavy weapons and food. A wounded standard-bearer was holding a military flag, and it was a unit of the 38th Division that could be known without looking.
Looking at another group of people who landed, Nagakawaguchi wanted to shout: "Don't come, Guadalcanal is a hell." ”
But nothing came out, and his desire, passion, and compassion, along with his fighting spirit and bushido spirit, all withered.
