At this time, the American troops who successfully landed were still immersed in joy, and they thought that this sudden landing completely caught the Japanese army by surprise, and perhaps directly laid the foundation for the victory of the Battle of Kuah Island.

Countless glories seem to be beckoning to them.

Okamura, who was lurking in the dark, was like an incomparably cold poisonous snake, and he had been lurking patiently until the moment when he thought he could strike suddenly and directly put the enemy to death.

How long will it last?

Until the landing force of the US army became more and more numerous, a large number of troops were basically deployed and displayed in the area of the river beach, which was relatively empty.

At this time, the US military actually did not collect sufficient intelligence on Kuah Island.

In addition, the 1st Marine Division, which was the first to land, and because some officers and veterans with rich command experience were constantly transferred to the 2nd and 3rd Marine Divisions, the temporary landing force has long ceased to be the elite of the 1st Marine Division.

After successfully landing in the river beach area, these US troops were blindly unaware of the direction in which to continue their advance.

They did not have any definite information at hand, and they did not know exactly where the airfield of the Japanese army, which was the first to destroy the Japanese army under their control, was located on this trip.

In this way, a large number of American troops stumbled and landed on the river beach, and then approached some of the surrounding jungles, until they completely fell into the ambush circle, or slaughterhouse, that Okamura had set for them.

"Since the outbreak of the Pacific War, we have too many compatriots and warriors buried in the hands of the US military, these bastards are all damned, long live the Empire, warriors, you can start the feast of killing, kill all the enemies, not a single one!"

When Okamura gave the order through the headquarters, he felt the indifference and cruelty in the commander's words.

And with the anger of the disastrous defeat at the Battle of Midway.

The devil soldiers, who had been waiting for a long time, were like crazy, and launched an almost crazy killing of the American troops who entered the ambush circle.

The sudden attack was completely unexpected by the US military.

They never expected that the Japanese army would have insight into their secret landing intentions in advance, and even built an ambush position in advance in this area with the help of those hidden jungles.

The American colonel who led the team did not expect that the Japanese commander of the enemy would be so insidious and cunning.

What a patient serpent.

It wasn't until they even put their ankles next to the mouth of this poisonous snake that it opened its sinister fangs and bit it fiercely.

At this time, the American troops had just advanced up from the relatively empty river beach area, preparing to enter the jungle area, and then at the edge of the jungle, they were attacked by a large number of Japanese troops who had been lurking here for a long time.

Okamura, who is bent on building a slaughterhouse to slaughter enemy soldiers and vent his anger, is fully prepared.

There are even hundreds of heavy machine guns set up by the imps on the edge of this hidden jungle.

Although for the US military, it is only the most backward Japanese-style Type 92 heavy machine gun, which can even be eliminated, when the number of these machine guns reaches an alarming level, it is still like a meat grinder on the battlefield, frantically harvesting the lives of the US military.

In the volley of artillery, the shells that had long been locked on the river beach area continued to fall.

The shadows of the cannon flying in the sky cast a deep shadow on the hearts of the fleeing US soldiers.

Boom –

In the bombardment with almost all-round fire coverage, the US troops landed, and the US troops, who were still full of surprise and arrogance, then ushered in a devastating blow.

The level of terrorist attacks was such that the US military did not have time to react at all.

At the beginning, he was the first American colonel to land in the river beach area, but now he has become the first defeated general to take the lead in shouting evacuation and escape.

He exclaimed hastily.

The original arrogance and contempt for the Japanese army had long been shattered at this moment.

At this moment, the major was eager to grow eight legs in one go, and just wanted to take his troops to escape from this hell that had been built by the Japanese army a long time ago.

Da Da Da –

It's a pity that Okamura, an old devil with rich combat experience and who is bent on venting his anger, has long made up his mind to wipe out all the American troops who have landed.

At the same time that the ambush battle was completely launched, Okamura's other two-way detour troops had already made a detour from both flanks, completely cutting off the retreat of the American troops.

Okamura's heavy artillery unit, which had been prepared in advance, launched a fierce artillery attack on the US landing warship docked on the shore.

The confrontation between the two sides intensified.

The US troops, who had suffered a heavy blow, saw that the rear route had been cut off, and the warships had also suffered heavy losses, and there was no way to retreat, and they were completely panicked for a while.

The military qualities of the troops had not yet been tempered, their combat effectiveness had not yet been formed, and their morale was even more unstable; under such a fierce attack by the Japanese army, the US troops who landed were completely defeated in an instant, and they were completely unable to organize effective resistance at all, and were completely crushed and killed by the Japanese army unilaterally.

As Okamura said before the war, this is really like a large slaughterhouse at this moment.

The U.S. troops who suffered a sudden attack were repulsed by the Japanese and had no choice but to retreat to the river beach area, but most of this area was empty, and even bunkers could not be found, and they were completely used as live targets by the Japanese soldiers with accurate marksmanship.

The colonel led the last troops gathered around him to resist stubbornly, but it was too late, and in desperation, he had to try to surrender to the Japanese in order to save the lives of his soldiers.

The news soon reached the Japanese command.

Okamura's reply was only one sentence, "Kill them all, and leave no one!" ”

This order, not to mention the US troops who were in the ambush circle and finally resisted stubbornly and whose fate was about to be tragic, even the Japanese officers who carried out this order could not help but be in awe of the decisive decision of His Excellency the commander in their hearts.

That's exactly what Okamura wants to achieve.

With absolute killing, absolute ruthlessness, the First World War established his absolute authority in command on Kuah Island.

And as it turned out, Okamura did.

Under his command, the Japanese soldiers who slaughtered the American army were completely red-eyed, and at first, they also used the artillery and machine guns at hand to fire at the American troops with the help of the fortifications built in advance.

When the U.S. troops were completely defeated and even tried to raise the white flag to surrender to the Japanese army, these Japanese soldiers, after receiving the order, even dared to directly advance and charge directly into the rear of the U.S. army with a team of dozens or hundreds of people.

A Japanese warrant officer holding a light machine gun with a crooked handle jumped directly into the US military position, which had no will to fight and had decided to throw away his weapons and surrender, and with the strength of one person, holding the machine gun, he was stunned and killed all the more than 20 American troops in the position.

The U.S. troops who decided to surrender raised the white flag, but in exchange for the increasingly fierce artillery fire of the Japanese army.

At this time, the terrified American soldiers realized that the Japanese army had no intention of leaving them alive at all.

However, many of these soldiers were recruited who were hastily sent to Kuah Island shortly after training, and even in the face of death, it was difficult for them to burst out with the will to fight to the death.

The battle broke out very quickly and ended just as quickly.

The U.S. military hastily called for air reinforcements, but in the end, before air reinforcements could be received, the battle was nearing its end, and the seven or eight thousand American troops who landed were almost completely dead, and the entire Kuah Island river beach area was covered with the corpses of American troops.

The crimson blood almost stained the shores.

From a distance, it looks like purgatory on earth.

However, he said that as for the command of the naval fleet, Yamamoto Isoroku was still scolding Okamura for temporarily conducting military operations without informing himself.

Then it was learned that the US troops had made a secret landing from the direction of the river beach on Kuah Island, and a large number of warships and landing troops had successfully landed.

Yamamoto's face changed dramatically because of this.

This was a great surprise to him, and he barely took any precautions in the direction of the Kuah Island River Beach, which was also an important airport specially prepared by the Empire.

He is also preparing to use the airfield built here to carry out follow-up air force reinforcements and turn the tide of the Pacific War in one fell swoop!

Who would have thought that the US military would take advantage of the combat bluff of the frontal navy and air force to cover the covert landing operation?

If the U.S. troops were allowed to land and seize the airfield in one fell swoop, the Japanese would certainly fall into a great passivity, and the Battle of Kuah Island might have been the beginning of the rout.

Then I learned again.

Okamura had already led his elite troops to the direction of the Kuah Island River beach in advance, and arranged an ambush in advance, taking the landed American troops by surprise.

Yamamoto was glad, but he couldn't help but feel ashamed of his initial disparagement of Okamura.

Then came the news that "Admiral Okamura had set up a slaughterhouse, annihilated the US landing force in one fell swoop, and severely damaged the US landing warship."

Yamamoto was completely shocked.

At this point, Yamamoto finally put away his original contempt for Okamura and began to face up to this army commander who was transferred from the North China Front to Kuah.

The U.S. military was completely stunned by the fiasco of the first landing operation.

They could not have dreamed of how Okamura, the commander of the Japanese army, who had heard that even guerrilla troops like the Tubalu could defeat them in China, could have such a brilliant command performance.

In fact, let alone the stunned US military.

In the future, the confrontation between the two sides around the Kuah Island area intensified.

Okamura's initial idea was very simple, since the North China Front was constantly defeated by the Eighth Route Army, his majesty was lost, and he no longer had the capital to continue to lose.

Therefore, after the Battle of Kuah Island began, Okamura had only one thought, and he did his best to fight this battle, and for this reason, he imagined the US army as the most troublesome opponent in his life - the Eighth Route Army.

Even every move of the U.S. military, Okamura had to think it through to him, and even wondered what the intentions of this move were if the enemy was the Eighth Route Army, and whether there would be a series of traps and conspiracies behind it.

That's it.

The final outcome of the battle was not only unexpected by the American army, but also by Yamamoto, and also by Okamura himself, who only imagined the enemy as the most difficult opponent, the Eighth Route Army, and then fought the American army in mountain warfare, jungle warfare, guerrilla warfare, and various tactics in the Kuah Island area.

The old devil Okamura never dreamed that he would continue to lose battles in the hands of the Eighth Route Army in North China and suffer humiliation.

Who would have thought that after being transferred to Kuah Island, it achieved his highlight moment.

As a result, the morale of the US military was in turmoil under the spreading casualties, and even the US military commanders who led the team repeatedly lamented the toughness of their opponents.

They are obviously more equipped, and the strength of both the air force and the navy is far stronger than that of the Japanese army, but once they land, after fighting in the jungle area of Kuah Island, they will still be beaten by these Japanese troops with backward equipment.

That Japanese Army Commander Okamura Ninji was really a terrifying guy.

As for Okamura, he has also regained his confidence in this series of victories.

In fact, his heart was more emotional, and it was not until the Battle of Kuah Island broke out completely that he may not understand a truth, perhaps the defeat of the North China Front was not because of his incompetence in Okamura, nor was it because of the ineffective operation of the imperial troops.

It was really the Eighth Route Army as an opponent that was too difficult and cunning.

Look at the U.S. troops in front of you, who think they are well-equipped and have powerful air and naval warships.

Just fighting them as the Eighth Route Army, they were almost defeated.

Isn't that enough to prove everything?

As the battle intensified, the US military was also completely red-eyed, and under the rapidly spreading casualties, it gritted its teeth and continued to send more troops to seize control of Kuah Island.

At this time, the naval and air force operations under the command of the originally high-spirited Yamamoto Isoroku became a shortcoming and a flaw, and in the contest between the navy and the air force, the Japanese army fell behind in an all-round way.

But even so, Okamura still took advantage of the jungle-ridden environment of Kuah Island to lead the nose of the US military to fight mountain warfare, guerrilla warfare, various ambush warfare, and sports warfare.

To what extent is it exaggerated?

Yamamoto commanded the navy and air force and lost battles almost every day, while Okamura led the army, but he was still able to beat the landing American troops in the Kuah Island area.

This almost became an unforgettable nightmare for the American troops who landed at that time.

Later, even Yamamoto, who was the commander-in-chief of the Japanese naval warships, personally rushed to Okamura to ask how he was able to comprehensively crush the US military in a land confrontation when the equipment and air force and naval reinforcements were completely inferior to the US military.

At the time, Okamura replied like this:

"I think my most difficult opponent in my life, the North China side, especially the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang region, can give the answer to this question.

It's ironic to say that it is precisely because of the constant frustration inflicted on me by this difficult opponent that I have grown through frustration.

As for the gap between equipment, navy, and air force, will the gap between our empire and the US army be greater than the gap between the Eighth Route Army, which was backward in equipment and scarce in ammunition, and our empire when it couldn't even do one person and one shot? ”

There are still some words that Okamura hides in his heart, if the same equipment is exchanged for the Eighth Route Army, he thinks that this battle will not even be fought directly.

Because there is no possibility of winning at all......
