Chapter 640 640 A Different Job

With a soothing calm and unhurried view of the sea, this is one of the most beautiful resorts in the world and one of the most important battlefields. The Hawaiian Islands, a place that haunts both the United States and Japan.

Several Japanese officers stood on the beach, staring at the sea not far away. They had been trapped here for 20 days, and although the Americans had only recaptured Oahu, which had not been fully occupied, it was the most brutal ordeal for the 29,000 Imperial Japanese soldiers on Kauai.

The Japanese soldiers did everything they could to fortify their defenses, and when the Combined Fleet retreated, they looted all the ammunition they could find, leaving it for the Imperial soldiers, who were in dire need of supplies. However, after more than ten days, the Japanese soldiers realized that what they needed most was not ammunition and bunkers, but fresh water and food.

The United States fought Kauai in a bloody battle, destroying the desalination system on the island, and what is even worse is that there is not much food stored on the island, coupled with the deliberate destruction and transfer of the American army, the Japanese soldiers can find not much to eat, and now the ammunition is almost never used, and the stomachs of the Japanese soldiers are empty.

"Yaga, my brave and warlike Imperial Japanese army was defeated by hunger like this! Why don't those hateful Americans fight back and land and fight us to the death?" complained a general with his sword and a hoarse voice, his lips dry and frightening, as if he hadn't drunk water for a long time.

The one who spoke was Lieutenant General Oshima, the main force of the Japanese army, the division commander of the 4th Division, and the general next to him was Lieutenant General Fukuda, the deputy commander of the Japanese forces on the island and the commander of the 131st Division, who was also the chief of staff. At this moment, the division of the two of them still maintains a relatively complete half of their combat effectiveness, and as for the poor two Japanese marines, most of them have already fought together on Oahu.

However, now the two of them are more envious of the two Marine divisions that can fight to the death on Oahu, and it is obviously more refreshing for the former to die on the battlefield than to starve to death on the battlefield.

"Didn't the telegram from the base camp say that we should prepare small boats and swimming soldiers and wait here for supplies?" Lieutenant General Fukuda, the commander of the 131st Division, said with a frown and some dissatisfaction in Japan's most classic Hitler mustache.

They had been waiting here for almost five hours, two assault boats concealed in camouflage not far behind them, and in the trenches farther away, there were 200 Japanese soldiers who were proficient in water, although they were hungry and had vegetables, but they were still covered with the heavy anger of executioners.

"Hey, hey, look over there!" shouted a Japanese soldier lying on a tree, pointing to the sea in the distance, attracting everyone's attention. In the distant sea, a bridge was slowly rising, the gray railing was exposed, the water was still dripping, and the white broadboard on the bridge, which had been corroded a lot, was already faintly visible.

"It's the Navy's submarine! The Empire hasn't given up on us! We can continue to fight!" Vice Admiral Fukuda, who saw the submarine, almost burst into tears, and he didn't want to die on this American island if he had a choice, but according to the tradition of Japanese soldiers who can't fight and self-discipline, his death seems to be a foregone conclusion.

Now that the supplies had arrived, he had apparently rekindled his hope of survival, and at least with these supplies, his troops would be able to hold out for a few more days, and with those few days, they could look forward to the next supply - it was wonderful to see hope in despair.

"Quick! Let people go to the sea to pick them up! There are often American planes patrolling nearby, and we have to hurry up to get the supplies sent by the submarine back!" Lieutenant General Oshima, the commander of the 4th Division, was obviously more calm, as the commander of all the Japanese troops, he always had a standard poker face, but his hand pressed on the command knife was trembling slightly.

So many soldiers died in vain because of disease and lack of water, and the enemy did not waste a single shot to solve thousands of elite soldiers of the Imperial Japan, and it can be said that Japan spent all its efforts to train these soldiers. Many of the soldiers are veterans who have served for more than 3 years, and their fighting skills are world-class, their shooting accuracy and their combat is very brave, but such soldiers die of starvation and thirst on the battlefield.

Eventually, desperate Japanese soldiers went to great lengths to find food, using all the little things they could find on the beach, and after the tide passed, things like bullet-riddled steel helmets were crowded with creature like crabs, and the Japanese soldiers relied on this food to fill their stomachs.

Poor food and unclean drinking water led to an outbreak of disease among the Japanese soldiers, which made the situation even more difficult for the Japanese garrison on Kauai, which lacked medical care. Now that the supplies have finally arrived, the situation can be alleviated, which is definitely super encouraging news for the Japanese soldiers on the island.

"Long live!" I don't know if it's long live the emperor, or long live the base camp, or long live everyone who provoked the war, in short, anyway, someone shouted long live, and everyone shouted long live together, as for who can really live it, only the storage zĂ i of God's level can know.

"Hurry, hurry!" showed the speed and spirit of the charge, a group of Japanese soldiers rushed naked and wearing only crotch pants into the turquoise water, while behind them, some Japanese soldiers carried assault boats and leaned frantically towards the coast, as if from there they could drive the assault boats back to Japan.

In the face of hunger and despair, people forget many extravagant hopes that are too far away, and everyone prays at the beginning of the war to win the war, and later they hope that they can go home and recuperate, while on Kauai, the Japanese soldiers only hope to get a bottle of boiled water and a piece of rice ball.

Far out in the sea, the Japanese submarine was completely out of the water, and the sailors were taking out the supplies packed with waterproof materials that had been lifted out of the hatch of the submarine and placed them on the deck. And some worthless materials that can float on the surface of the water are mercilessly thrown into the sea.

The Japanese soldiers swam near the submarine and swam back with supplies, apparently they didn't have much body left, so the speed was not fast. There are so many types of supplies, including gasoline and diesel for combustion, ammunition and various supplementary equipment, and of course, some much-needed medicine and food.

Because when the Japanese submarine set sail with full supplies, the Japanese soldiers were still fighting with the United States on Oahu, and there was no sign of a shortage of food and fresh water, so the amount of important supplies and food that the Japanese troops urgently needed was not too much.

The submarine officers and men even took out some of their own food reserves, but they still could not provide a full meal for the friendly troops on land, after all, the rations of dozens of submarine officers and men were indeed a drop in the bucket compared with the nearly 30,000 mouths that needed to eat.

When the soldiers, who had finally exhausted themselves ashore, opened the package and saw the ammunition wrapped in oiled paper, a heart full of hope immediately fell into the cold valley, and they fell on the beach, leaving no one else to move. And the few packets of food were snatched up as soon as they came ashore.

"How could the war be like this?" the Japanese commander, Lieutenant General Oshima, who saw the chaos in front of him, sighed and shook his head. Fortunately, some Japanese soldiers retained the last of their senses and delivered a few packets of food to Lieutenant General Oshima's feet, otherwise the Japanese commander might have become the first high-ranking Japanese general to commit suicide by starvation.

And in the Japanese submarine in the distance, through the periscope, the captain looked at his comrades on the beach in the distance, and let out the same lament: "How can the war be like this?"

He studied for a long time in the submariner training class and mastered a lot of knowledge about submarine command, but after the war between Japan and the United States, he could only be used as a small follower, following the ass of the Japanese Combined Fleet, doing some strange tasks such as reconnaissance in a daze.

As for the fact that the German counterparts went to attack the enemy's transport lines and sink thousands of tons of enemy ships, that is a good thing that they would not even dare to think of. A few days ago, a Japanese battleship was sunk by an unknown submarine, and all the Japanese submarine commanders, while deploring their hearts, also hoped in their hearts that they would be able to achieve such a brilliant result.

However, the Japanese Navy has never had a submarine commander who has been promoted to the top level, and those bigwigs who came from the naval province, the base camp of battleship commanders, even look down on "non-mainstream" such as aircraft carrier commander Nagumo Tadaichi, let alone these "unpopular" submarine commanders.

Not everyone has such an absolutely correct strategic vision as Accardo, and not all navies do not have their own traditions. The total annihilation of the German Navy in the First World War was not without its benefits, at least in the establishment of a new officer system and in bridging the traditional barriers between commanders.

When the German submarine force had proved its superb value with its own practical actions, the world's naval powers did not immediately jump out of the traditional shackles, but slowly responded inefficiently under the action of inertia. At least here in the naval power of Japan, the essence of the warlike war of the powerful German submarine forces has not been learned.

As a result, Japan's ocean-going submarine force, which was originally very powerful, can now only be used as a super transport ship. Why are the same branches of the armed forces doing different jobs? The Japanese submarine commander thought helplessly.
