"No way!" Chekov shook his head: "You can't put all your eggs in the same basket, especially on the battlefield of World War II with such artillery fire!" Peleliu Island is famous for its fact that it was one of the most casualty battlefields in World War II, both Japan and the United States. There were 15,000 American GIs killed or wounded on Peleliu! JAPANESE ARTILLERY FIRE, OR SNIPING BY THE FORESTER TEAM, CAN LEAD TO THE DEATH OF THE PROTAGONIST OF THE PLOT. We must protect both at the same time, and neither one can relax! ”

Kirk nodded: "I agree with Boss Chekov. The more dangerous it is, the more we have to protect the protagonist. If they all die, our main quest will fail. So, our team joins the 1st Army Division to protect Eugene? Slaich. The Sea Emperor Regiment joined the 1st Navy Division to protect Robert. Leckie. Let's split up! ”

The lieutenant colonel nodded: "I hope you can continue to show valor, I can have this honor to award you the medal again." Now you can disband. Our Pacific Fleet is speeding to the Palau Islands with the goal of attacking Peleliu. In about an hour, we will launch a general offensive from land, sea and air. The command gave us an order to capture this strategically valuable island within four days. Good luck, gentlemen! Kick the Japanese ass hard! ”

The lieutenant colonel left the battleship, took a dinghy, and returned to the flagship.

At the same time, Wanyue and Wang Han posted a map of Peleliu Island in the team and explained the tactics.

"Just now, the instructor of the US military only vaguely mentioned the defense of the Japanese army, which fully shows that the US military did not conduct a detailed investigation of the intelligence of the Japanese army. It is full of emotions of contempt for the enemy. This is one of the reasons for the disastrous defeat of the US military in this battle. Wang Han said: "According to history and plot, the Battle of Peleliu Island is known as the most tragic battle in the Pacific Theater. ”

"The Japanese army on the island is very strong. With 3,000 elite infantry of the 2nd Infantry Wing of the 14th Division as the core, and 1,000 people from the 3rd Brigade of the 15th Wing of the 14th Division as the reserve. The 14th Division is the main combat division that has just been transferred back from China, with rich combat experience and a complete structure, and it is not at all comparable to those scaring empty shelf divisions. In addition, there are 250 people from the 1st Squadron of the 1st Marine Mobile Brigade and 685 people from the 346th Independent Infantry Brigade. Naval side. In addition to the 2,220 personnel of the naval aviation base, there are 400 personnel of the 45th Naval Garrison Brigade, 500 personnel of the Naval Air Defense Brigade, and about 2,200 Korean labor battalions of the Navy. on the islands of Peleliu. The total number of Japanese troops was about 10,000. Armed with 5,000 rifles. 200 light machine guns, 58 heavy machine guns. 13mm-150mm various mountain guns, infantry guns, mortars, machine guns 200, and even 16 Type 95 light combat vehicles are equipped on the island! this island. It is not at all an empty shelf island as imagined by the US military, but a highly armed and heavily armed fortress! ”

Curved Moon continued: "In addition to the strength of the army, the Japanese commander who will be assassinated this time, Nakagawa Shuo, is also an extremely talented commander. He drew on the failures of the Solomon Islands, the Marshall Islands, and the Mariana Islands to develop a new approach to island defense for anti-amphibious operations. Abandoning the early defense of the beach perimeter and the reckless "Banzai Charge", the honeycomb system that complicates the topography of the island is adopted to construct the inner island defense chain, turning the blind onslaught into a continuous war of attrition against the American army. He even took advantage of the rugged terrain to build a composite defense system composed of reinforced bunkers, caves and tunnels. ”

In the team channel, a model of the island resembling a 3D projection appeared, with the coast, foothills, caves, and underground bunkers on it. "The main fortifications of the Japanese army were located on the commanding heights of Peleliu, on Mount Ambugue, which was a hill composed entirely of hills and cliffs. The top of the hill overlooks most of the island, including the airport on the south side of the island. There are more than 500 limestone caves on the mountain, which are connected to each other by passages. Most of these caves were mine-holes, which were then used by the Japanese and built as fortifications, with sappers installing sliding armoured iron doors at the entrances of the caves for the erection of cannons and machine guns. At the same time, the Japanese also placed 81mm and 150mm mortars, 20mm twin machine guns, and equipped anti-tank and anti-aircraft squads in other fortifications on the mountain. In order to defend against flamethrowers and grenades, the entrance passages of the caves where the Japanese were stationed were all slopes to the upper slopes. These caves and pillboxes formed a huge defensive system that spread throughout the central area, which facilitated the tactical retreat and reoccupation of these areas by the Japanese army, and well consolidated the Japanese defenses. ”

"Nakagawa Prefecture did not forget to make full use of the terrain advantages on the beachhead. At the northern end of Peleliu Island, there is a 9.1-meter-high headland that overlooks the landing beachhead below, which was later called "The Point" by the U.S. military, and is the second main mission we will complete. On this small headland, the Japanese erected a 47mm anti-tank gun and six 20mm twin machine guns, and blocked the entrance, leaving only a narrow gap as a machine gun muzzle. The Japanese also built the same fortifications on another similar terrain 3 kilometers away. At the same time, the Japanese planted thousands of mines and heavy artillery shells along the entire beachhead, and these modified fused explosives would explode whenever a person or armored vehicle walked over it. Eventually, the Japanese left a large group of American troops on the beachhead to resist the landing, but in fact their main job was to slow down the landing of American troops and lead them to the Japanese fortifications on the island. ”

Xiaopang gasped: "Where is this Nima island, this is Longtan Tiger's Den!" DON'T FORGET, THERE'S ALSO THE FORESTER'S GROUP OF KINGS AND LAMBS, ENTRENCHED ON THE ISLAND. ”

"But," Kirk opened his eyes, "the so-called crisis is organic." If we can take advantage of the momentum of the US military, we can also effectively weaken the advantages of the FORESTER team and blow them to slag. ”

"How do you take advantage of it?" CRESCENT MOON ASKED: "YOU MUST KNOW THAT THE CURRENT PLOT OF THE PACIFIC THEATER HAS BEEN GREATLY CHANGED BY FORESTER, AND THE JAPANESE ARMY OCCUPIES A FAVORABLE SITUATION. The main force of the Combined Fleet still exists, and the momentum of the Japanese army at the beginning of the war is still there, and the external traffic of this Peleliu Island. There were no interruptions. The Japanese army can replenish troops and manpower on the island at any time! And even in turn to encircle and cut off the sea communication of the US island-attacking forces! This is the biggest difference between the plot and history! ”

Everyone was silent.

In history and the plot of "Pacific War", in 1944, the U.S. military had destroyed the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet through a series of naval battles such as the Battle of Midway and the Battle of the Marianas, and cut the Japanese troops on the Pacific islands into pieces of lone troops who could not help each other. Then, the leapfrog tactic was adopted, bypassing the strongholds that had no strategic value, and attacking the weak links of the Japanese defense in a roundabout way, greatly accelerating the pace of attacking the Japanese mainland. One word. The Americans achieved absolute superiority on land, sea and air.

But in this world that has been painstakingly managed by the FORESTER team and has greatly changed the plot. The Japanese did not break their bones at all, and they achieved a great advantage. Not only is the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet still there, but if Kirk hadn't stolen the cipher machine and codebook, Yamamoto Fifty-six would not have died!

Without cutting off the enemy's supply lines by land, sea and air. It is necessary to rashly attack the strong fortress that the opponent has intensively deployed and painstakingly managed. The difficulty can be imagined.

Even if the two teams have a master of plotting. It's useless. Because in 1 hour, the US army will start a general offensive. This is the plot rule. Without time and no hole cards, how can you change history?

Kirk looked at the Bronze Star Medal in his hand. Smiled slightly: "The FORESTER team has worked hard to manage well, and the advantages are indeed obvious. But to say that we are facing a desperate situation, I don't think so. First of all, the space doesn't want us to die. ”

The spirit of the crowd was shocked.

Chekov asked, "What the hell do you have in mind?" ”

Kirk smiled: "After FORESTER used [Duel Golden Glove] to change the difficulty of the mission to a team battle mode, and stipulated the harsh conditions of obliteration of the main quest failure and obliteration of team battle, Space did two things. The first is to intervene in mediation and stipulate a 24-hour ceasefire period. The second is to adjust the difficulty of the task. Changed the main quest penalty to pay a fine. It is equivalent to scrapping the [Duel Golden Glove] of the FORESTER team! From the perspective of space, the FORESTER team has used the [Duel Golden Glove] to cripple the Sea Emperor Regiment, which is enough. It is not enough to kill two birds with one stone, solve the problem of our two teams, and exceed the bottom line of space tolerance. ”

Chekov said impatiently: "What does that really mean?" ”

Kirk smiled: "In other words, even if we fail this mission, we will only pay 300 large spars, and the total value of the fine is up to 60 million, and our two teams can't afford it?" ”

Chubby's eyes lit up: "That's right! The space is so stipulated, it is to let us go! ”

Kirk nodded: "Indeed, we must first break through the inertial thinking that we must complete the main quest and think about the problem from a different angle." Since space allows us not to complete the main quest, we have to take full advantage of this. For us, it doesn't matter if the main quest can't be completed, the biggest enemy is still the FORESTER team, which is stronger than us! YOU CAN'T BE FOOLISH ENOUGH TO RUSH TO THE BEACH AND LET THE JAPANESE ARTILLERY, MACHINE GUNS, TANKS, AND THE FORESTER TEAM'S SHOOTERS KILL YOU! ”

"SO," HE SAID WITH A SINISTER SMILE, "WE NEED TO MAKE GOOD USE OF THESE 60 DAYS TO WEAKEN THE FORESTER TEAM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE." ”

"But in another hour, the U.S. military will launch a general offensive!" Chekov said: "If as soon as we land, artillery fire flies, and the two protagonists die in battle, won't we obediently pay 60 million survival points and go back to space?" ”

He smiled: "I don't feel sorry for the money, but I suffered losses for no reason, and I also cheapened the FORESTER team, which made me very angry." ”

Kirk nodded and said: "That's true, the first thing we have to do is to get the U.S. military to give up this unplanned general offensive and use our energy to what is most beneficial to us!" ”

"What's best for us?" Chekov asked.

"What's the most advantageous" Kirk pointed to the map and said, "It is to make the US military realize that the Japanese troops on the island are not silver pewter spearheads at all, but real elite main forces." Let the U.S. military abandon illusions, mobilize large forces, blockade the islands from the sea and air, and give the most powerful troops and fire support. Those who died on the beach could be groups of American soldiers, but they could never be our regiments. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO USE AN ENDLESS SEA OF U.S. SOLDIERS TO RUSH DOWN THIS ISLAND, AND MAYBE EVEN THE FORESTER TEAM! ”

"Well said!" Suresi nodded. After the test of the annihilation, he had an indescribable fear of the annihilation. Kirk said that the amount of borrowed U.S. military power was borrowed. The idea of reducing team casualties was the most in his heart.

"Why?" Chekov asked.

"Just by virtue of this medal we have obtained," Kirk said, holding the Bronze Star in his hand.

"C-level fire or artillery support? 3 elite Marines? Chekov Ha Da smiled: "C-level fire support, at most 3 American bombers, dropped a dozen bombs. 3 Marines are good helpers, but unfortunately a few bullets on the battlefield can kill them. ”

"But you must not have noticed two things" Kirk smiled: "One is that it is me who won the Bronze Star Medal this time, and Natasha from your team!" It's engraved with your name."

He picked up the Bronze Star Medallion, and sure enough, his name was engraved on it. Natasha took out her medal, which was also engraved with her name.

"What does that mean?" The driver was confused.

"This shows that Crescent Moon came to his senses: "Each of us can receive these medals from the US military headquarters!" ”

"I've taken the time to look up this medal system," Kirk smiled, "If you have more than 1,000 points for your personal contribution, you will be awarded the Bronze Star Medal." C-Rank artillery fire once or 3 elite Marines retinue. 5000 points. Earn the Silver Star Medal, which can be exchanged for C+ Tier Fire once or 5 Elite Marines Hench. 10,000 points, get the Order of Venus, B-artillery fire once. 10 elite Marines retinue. The contribution value is over 10,000. and has lost a limb. Earn the Purple Heart, one B+ artillery fire, and 15 elite Marines retinue. Over 50,000. Received a Congressional Medal, A-Artillery Fire once, and 20 elite Navy SEALs. Over 100,000, Medal of Honor, A+ artillery fire once, 30 elite Navy SEALs. ”

"The best part is that the medals can be upgraded." Kirk gestured to the two groups of reincarnators present: "There are 28 of us. If each person receives a Medal of Honor, they can call for 28 A+ Strikes. Each level of artillery firepower increases by 30% compared to the previous level. A+ class artillery fire, 12 heavy bombers can be dispatched at once, or a salvo of fleet artillery can be fired! If you convert it to U.S. soldiers, 30 Navy SEALs join, and 28 equals 840 SEALs! ”

"These forces are actually not very powerful in the hands of the US military in the plot," Kirk concluded, "but in our hands, in the right place, it is enough to make the FORESTER team pay a heavy price." The FORESTER team used the Japanese army twice to deal with us before, and it is believed that they were also exchanged for merit points. ”

"How?" Chekov asked.

Kirk Huoran opened his eyes: "We are going to make the first landing of the US army fail miserably!" Not only will you lose, but you will lose miserably, worse than in the plot! The worse they lose, the better prepared they are for the next attack, and the more time we have left to brush up on our contributions. Anyway, we have a month to capture Peleliu, and we will complete the task and win the last hour of the day. ”

"But what about the two protagonists of the story?" Chubby asked, "If we don't make a move, will they hang up?" ”

Wang Han said: "Didn't we divide our troops? A team looks at a protagonist. Illusion, control, persuasion, what can not hold them back? In short, if you don't go to the most dangerous place, you won't hang up. ”

Only then did everyone understand the whole story of Kirk's plan.

Chekov stood up: "Then so be it. In this first wave of the general offensive, we did not contribute to the work, which made the defeat of the US army even more violent. ”

At this moment, a spatial prompt sounded: "The main quest [Gunshots of Peleliu] will start in 10 minutes." ”

"Contractor No. 04444, you have chosen to join the First Division of the Army and participate in this major battle with the heaviest casualties in the Pacific Theater."

"You must immediately rush to the landing ship and land on the west coast of Peleliu with the landing force of the 1st Army Division."

At this time, 400 carrier-based planes from 11 aircraft carriers in the US fleet began to bomb Perry Iwo Island indiscriminately, together with army heavy bombers that had taken off from the Mariana Islands. The whole sky was filled with the shrill whistling of bombers as they dived. On the sea surface of Perry Iwo Island, 3 US battleships, 25 cruisers, and 30 destroyers carried out fierce shelling of Perry Iwo Island and prepared for fire, and the shelling was so fierce that the entire Perry Iwo Island was completely covered in flames and black smoke.

Under the cover of artillery bombardment, the US Navy's minesweepers sailed to a place less than 1 kilometer off the shore of Perry Iwo Island to carry out minesweeping and other operations.

At this time, it was 6:15 a.m., and in the faint morning light, the US landing force was divided into two routes.

Under the cover of heavy naval artillery bombardment, the landing force of the 1st Navy Division rushed to the beachhead on the west coast of Perry Iwo Island in amphibious combat vehicles and landing craft. Chekov of the Sea Emperor Regiment led more than 20 reincarnators and followed Robert of the 1st Division of the Navy. Leckie's 1st Division and 2nd Regiment boarded the landing ship together and rushed to the heavily defended beach of the Japanese army.

The U.S. 1st Marine Division is scheduled to land on the west coast and take control of the island in 2-3 days. Kirk's team was in this division.

When the soldiers of the 1st Marine Division boarded the amphibious armored vehicles, everyone was in a relaxed mood, talking and laughing. (To be continued......)
