Age of Rebirth

A thunderbolt from the blue sky, the words of the chief of staff, Major General Shinto, shocked the mind of Lieutenant General Hirano, blank, his eyes stared like bells, how could it be possible?Americans who have already been caught with nothing, still have the ability and courage to fight back?

Lieutenant General Hirano was almost stunned in surprise, terrified, and relieved by His Excellency Commander's words, Miss Yumiko, who she thought was the most attractive pose, stared blankly at the blue-and-white Lieutenant General, I am really worried that he will suddenly pass out.

Suddenly, Lieutenant General Hirano yelled, "Baga, nonsense, Chief of Staff Shinto, have you verified the situation? How could the Americans counterattack? It must be that pig-headed commander on the front line who launched the attack in advance. Check it out immediately. Clearly, this bastard, I can't spare him!"

On the other end of the phone, Chief of Staff Shinto smiled wryly, and said, "Your Excellency, I have verified that it was indeed the Americans who launched a counterattack, because the attack came too suddenly, without any warning, and all divisions are now in chaos. Among them, the specific situation has not been clarified yet, but I have issued an order that all divisions will definitely beat the Americans back!"

After the initial shock and panic, Lieutenant General Hirano calmed down, yes, what if the Americans suddenly counterattacked, I have 10,000+ troops, even with my feet, I can still beat the American soldiers who are half breathed Stamped to death, "Xinto-kun, your order is very correct, I will rush to the headquarters immediately, and you will find out the situation on the front line immediately!" [

Putting down the phone, Lieutenant General Hirano, with a very gentlemanly demeanor, said to Yumiko, who had a pale face, a stiff jade body, and frightened eyes: "Yumiko, don't worry, it's just the dying struggle of the Americans. I'll go to the headquarters to deal with it. You can continue to sleep peacefully, and I will send someone to pick you up after dawn!" After a gentle kiss, Miss Yumiko's peachy cheeks were cold to her lips.

Leaving the ambiguous room and sitting in the car, Lieutenant General Hirano couldn't help shaking his head secretly, "It's a woman who frightens her like this with the sound of a gun! Isn't it the American's dying struggle? What can I do, but die faster!"

After arriving at the headquarters, Lieutenant General Hirano realized that things were not as simple as he imagined. It is believed that Chief of Staff Fuji’s report was in chaos from the beginning because of the sudden incident. It was judged that this was the main counterattack direction of the U.S. military. The U.S. soldiers and the imperial soldiers fought together and all the heavy weapons were useless.

Lieutenant General Hirano was furious. He couldn't believe that the Seventh Army with hundreds of thousands of soldiers was so chaotic under the attack of more than 6 American soldiers. He didn't even know where the enemy was. Several division heads of the first-line troops called to inquire about this matter.

The answers he got frustrated him. The answers of the division heads were almost the same, "Your Excellency, our department is in the middle of a fierce battle. All the troops are approaching the enemy. It seems that the direction of the American counterattack covers all our positions." , What's more serious is that our troops on the front line were suddenly shelled by American artillery, causing heavy casualties!"

"What?" Lieutenant General Hirano dropped the phone angrily. Hell, why didn't the artillery from the Americans show up when they attacked them for the first time?The position built by the imperial army is so vulnerable, let the American soldiers who are waiting to be captured break through one after another, is the combat effectiveness of the imperial army soldiers what I imagined in my mind?

Also, where did the American counterattack morale and courage come from?Everything is messed up. Lieutenant General Hirano yelled at the chief of staff, Major General Shindo: "Chief of Staff Shinto, immediately order the artillery commander, Major General Mori Kijiro, to fire all artillery groups and destroy the US artillery positions immediately!"

Immediately behind the Japanese position, there was a louder sound. A cannon fired, dragging a dark red tail flame, roared and landed on the U.S. artillery position. If you count the number and caliber of the artillery, the artillery of the U.S. Second Army is not Japanese at all. The opponents of the artillery, the Americans do not have the capital to fight artillery battles. It is normal for them to be destroyed after firing the artillery to expose the target.

Lieutenant General Harrison also knew this clearly. Therefore, he ordered the artillery group of the group army and each division. After firing all the artillery, the artillery immediately took up their weapons and changed to infantry to fight back with the troops. Therefore, the Japanese artillery group The retaliatory shelling indeed destroyed the US artillery positions, but on the positions, there were only fired artillery and empty artillery boxes everywhere.

But he couldn't even find a shadow of a U.S. artilleryman. Lieutenant General Hirano, who was stunned, hadn't thought that these most advanced [-]mm caliber howitzers in the United States were originally the spoils of the Seventh Army. After the Second Army of the U.S. Army was wiped out, these artillery pieces belonged to the Seventh Army, enough to equip three to four artillery regiments of the Japanese Army.

In terms of performance and power, it is not comparable to the 20mm caliber field guns equipped by the Japanese field artillery. It may be that God does not let the Japanese fill in fat. The locust-like artillery turned into parts everywhere, saving the Americans from blowing up these artillery pieces themselves. In fact, when the Japanese artillery returned fire, the American artillery had stopped shelling for more than [-] minutes. One of the laughing stocks of the Seventh Army!

The Japanese artillery group opened fire in an all-round way, which also brought about a serious consequence. Colonel Hodesman, the commander of the [-]rd Regiment of the [-]st Division of the U.S. Marine Corps, has been on Hawaii Island since the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The bloody battle of the Seventh Army, one of the only four remaining regiment leaders, and his regiment was relatively complete, and it fought the Japanese army for more than [-] days.

From Colonel Hodesman, the head of the regiment, to ordinary soldiers, they all know very well that the Japanese treat prisoners of war cruelly. Therefore, the third regiment was one of the American troops at the forefront, and fought bravely and fiercely. The flashing fire on the position caught the attention of Colonel Hodesman. After breaking up a group of Japanese soldiers, his blood-red eyes fixed on the Japanese artillery position.

Taking his own regiment through the chaotic battle, he let Colonel Hodesman.They found the location of one of the largest artillery groups of the Japanese army. This was a regiment-sized artillery group, but there was only one squadron of guards. Under the leadership of Colonel Hodesman, the American soldiers rushed to the Japanese artillery positions and killed one of the squadron's guards. After the Japanese army, [-] or [-] artillery pieces were blown up, leaving parts all over the place!

In the end, the third regiment was surrounded by the swarming Japanese regiments, and the whole army was wiped out until the last one. The regiment leader, Colonel Hodesman, was killed by more than ten gunshots. However, in this battle of great disparity in strength Among them is the entire Second Army, the only American unit that killed an artillery wing of the Japanese army.

In the chaos in the middle of the night, the U.S. military fought desperately and desperately counterattacked. The initial effect was very obvious. The 10,000+ Japanese troops were caught off guard. The night became the best cover for the U.S. melee. However, The U.S. military's desperate counterattack could not change the fact that there was a huge disparity in strength. After dawn, the superiority of the Japanese army's strength gradually emerged, and the initiative on the battlefield turned to the Japanese army!

The battle lasted until the evening of July 6. More than [-] American soldiers had already suffered more than [-] casualties. They were divided and surrounded by the Japanese army with superior forces. Lieutenant General Harrison’s idea of ​​attacking Hawaii Island in depth was fundamentally impossible accomplish.

If Lieutenant General Hirano Yoshiki can use military pressure on the U.S. military at this time as a supplement, mainly to persuade the U.S. to capitulate, after a fierce battle in the middle of the night and a day, the blood in the U.S. soldiers' bones will be exhausted, and their vigor will be lost. At first, I thought that I would die, but it turned out that I was still alive, and those who wanted to survive had the courage and determination to overcome the inevitable death. Facing the division and siege of the Japanese army, they raised their hands and surrendered, that was the inevitable result!

At the critical moment, Lieutenant General Hirano Yoshiki came up with another trick. In front of the reporters, especially Miss Yumiko, the beauty, the Lieutenant General Hirano, who had lost all face, became furious and took extreme measures! [

He ordered the divisions to pull the American prisoners of war captured on the battlefield to the front of the American positions, and cut off their heads in front of the remaining 3 American soldiers, and hung the headless American soldiers on coconut trees. On the tree, according to the idea of ​​Lieutenant General Hirano, the timid and cowardly American soldiers would tremble with fright when they saw this scene, and they would automatically raise their hands, line up, and surrender to the imperial army!

In this way, although the reporters did not see the three-dimensional offensive performance of the joint land and air forces and the coordination of various arms, they would also see the spectacular scene of tens of thousands of American soldiers queuing up to surrender with their hands raised. From another angle, it proves that The combat effectiveness of the Seventh Army can also achieve satisfactory results.

Of course, after the reporters left, Lieutenant General Hirano would not keep any of these American prisoners of war who had made him lose face.

However, things backfired. The American soldiers who witnessed the atrocities of the Japanese soldiers again were not intimidated, but aroused the courage to fight to the death. If they surrendered, they would not save their lives. It's better to be killed than to be chopped off by the Japanese.

The area surrounded by American soldiers was intertwined with the encircling troops of the Japanese army. The artillery of the Japanese army was useless at all. Once a cannon fell, it might blow up on their own heads. The next battle was a contest of light infantry weapons. , The US troops, almost all equipped with automatic weapons, fought the Japanese army for five days with the weapons in their hands. The blood of the soldiers on both sides almost stained the beautiful island of Hawaii red.

By the afternoon of July 6th, there were more than 5000 American soldiers, and there were less than [-] left. These more than [-] people were troops fighting with the commander, Lieutenant General Harrison, and the remaining troops of the [-]rd Marine Division. So far, the fate of the US Second Army has been decided!
