The military quality of the American guys is really not covered, and the hill covered by the heavy artillery is like pulling an ink line, and along this "ink line", the hills in this area are neatly lifted, and the thick and strong trees are like matches, easily torn apart by the fury of the naval guns.

The boulders and debris all flew into the air, and the rough shrapnel flew in all directions, like lifting a carpet, and the soaring ground was getting closer and closer to the six people.

With a loud "boom", a cannonball landed two hundred meters away from them, and then a "woo" sounded and the five people who ran felt a huge shadow flying overhead.

Zhang Binhui hugged Mo Yingxuan and looked up, and was suddenly frightened.

Above my head, a big tree hugged by five people flew in the air, which was blown up into the sky by naval artillery.

The tree flew faster than they could run, and in the blink of an eye it flew in front of them, and then with a "bang", it fell upside down in the path of the six men, and then fell sideways, blocking all paths at once.

"This way!"

He Qiliao turned to the right and got into a forest on the right.

The area was backed by the hills, the woods were sparse, and within two steps of rushing out, a cement castle appeared in front of everyone.

From the position of the machine gun, there were three Japanese soldiers in the bunker, who were smoking and laughing, and these people were very accustomed to the intensity of the bombardment.

"Didn't you say that there are no enemies within a radius of a few miles?"

He abandoned Liao and became angry, turned around and fled.

Ma Tianyuan scolded angrily: "Day, the ghost knows that these bunkers are so hidden? Have you been through war with me? ”

Ma Tianyuan scolded angrily, but there was no pause at hand, and he threw his hand away, and a grenade was thrown into the machine gun of the pillbox very accurately.

There was a "boom", and the bunker was immediately filled with white smoke.

The rumbling behind him continued, He Qi Liao fled back at a faster speed, and he didn't hesitate, He Qi Liao pounced and pounced directly into the bunker.

The five people didn't dare to slack off, covered their mouths and noses and followed in, and as soon as their feet settled, they heard a "boom" outside, and the ground under their feet shook violently, and then there was a "crackling" sound overhead.

The cannon just hit the hill on which the bunker was leaning, and the cannonball actually blew off the hill directly, and all the dirt and gravel covered the bunker.

The sound outside the bunker was much quieter, but the vibration was more real. U.S. artillery fire finally caught up to the position.

Because of the violent shaking, Mo Yingxuan in Zhang Binhui's arms woke up leisurely, and saw that it was dark all around, so he hurriedly asked about the situation.

Naya Xue next to her was also very puzzled, and then asked: "What is the Battle of Okinawa?" Why is the firepower of you earthlings so strong? ”

Next to him, Ma Tianyuan and He Qiliao squatted there and sighed, Ma Tianyuan smiled bitterly, and explained:

The Battle of Okinawa, also known as Operation Iceberg, was a battle fought on the main island of Okinawa in the Ryukyu Islands and the largest amphibious landing operation in the Pacific Theater of World War II. The 82-day battle began in early April and ended in mid-June 1945.

After a long island-hopping campaign, the Allies gradually approached the Japanese mainland and planned to use Okinawa, an island only 340 miles from the Japanese mainland, as an air base to carry out a strategic invasion of the Japanese mainland.

The five divisions of the 10th Army Corps, including the 7th, 27th, 77th, 81st and 96th Infantry Divisions, are the main ground combat forces. The 1st and 6th Divisions of the US Marine Corps provided the necessary support on land. The 2nd Marine Division served as an amphibious reserve. The invasion was supported by naval, amphibious and tactical air forces.

The battle is known as "typhoonofsteel" in English and "iron rain" or "iron storm" in Japanese. These code names denote the intensity of the battle, the intensity of firepower, and the sheer number of ships and vehicles in which the Allied forces participated.

This battle was the battle with the highest casualties of the Pacific War of World War II. On the Japanese side, more than 100,000 soldiers were killed or captured, while the Allies suffered more than 80,000 casualties.

The U.S. military has absolutely superior forces, they have mastered sea and air supremacy, and have chosen favorable landing areas; However, the tactics were sluggish, they were afraid of night fighting, close combat, and fortifications, and they did not make a detour at sea in time.

The Japanese army used tunnels and anti-slope positions to offset the firepower superiority of the American army, and fought tenaciously for three months with melee firepower and night attacks by small detachments.

The "kamikaze" suicide plane was the main force that destroyed and damaged a large number of US Navy ships, but the actions of the Japanese army, navy, and air force were not coordinated, and they finally gave up the opportunity to fight on the beachhead.

After the Battle of Okinawa, the Americans became clear about the Japanese determination to fight, and thus abandoned the plan of landing on the main island of Japan.

A few weeks after the battle, the U.S. military used atomic bombs to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki, leading to Japan's surrender. ”

"Aren't we dangerous, then?"

"Nonsense!"

He Qiliao roared directly at Zhang Binhui:

"The Allies mobilized 540,000 men in this battle, while the Japanese also had more than 100,000 troops.

The Battle of Okinawa lasted 96 days, starting with the attack on Kyushu by the US aircraft carrier group on 18 March 1945 and basically ending on 22 June 1945, with 82 days of fierce fighting on Okinawa.

Sixteen surface ships and 8 submarines, including the battleship "Yamato," were sunk, about 4,200 planes were shot down and destroyed, and all of the 100,000 Japanese defenders on Okinawa were annihilated, except for more than 9,000 prisoners, and there were 7 civilians on Okinawa. 50,000 dead and wounded.

Thirty-two U.S. ships were sunk and 368 damaged, including 13 aircraft carriers, 10 battleships, 5 cruisers and 67 destroyers.

Lost 763 carrier-based aircraft, 1 killed. 30 thousand (4,600 in the Army, 4,900 in the Navy, 3,400 in the Marine Corps), 3 wounded. 60,000 (Army 1. 810,000 people, Navy 4900 people, Marine Corps 1. 360,000 people), another 2. 60,000 non-combat casualties.

The battle was the deadliest battle of the American Army in the Pacific War, so British Prime Minister Winston Churchill believed that the Battle of Okinawa would be an epic battle that would be included in the world's fiercest and most famous battles.

That is, in view of the heavy casualties paid in the battle, the US military did not hold a large-scale celebration and changed the battle plan in the future. We've all studied the history of world wars, Brother Hui, haven't you forgotten it? ”

Speaking of this, He Qiliao howled directly: "Brother Hui, please recover your strength immediately, otherwise we will all die here!" ”
