Anti-Japanese Special Forces Through Time and Space

Chapter 750: Battle on Iwo Jima

He Yingqin, who was supervising the battle beside Zhang Lieyang, saw the tragic scene of the landing in the telescope, and couldn't bear to say: "Lieyang, should we let the troops rest?!" Zhang Lieyang shook his head and said: "If we can't occupy it before dawn If the beach establishes an effective landing site, it will be impossible for us to take down Iwo Jima!" Zhang Lieyang turned around and looked at the map laid out behind him and said: "Now we have invested 6000 people from four divisions Already! As long as they take Chidori Airport, they will cut off the link between Mount Suribachi and Wonsan, so that we can complete the encirclement of the Japanese army on Iwo Jima!"

After hearing what Zhang Lieyang said, He Yingqin thought for a while and said, "Lieyang! The situation is so critical now, do you have any good solution?!" Zhang Lieyang shook his head and said, "There is no way now! The only way is to rely on landing troops!" Zhang Lieyang picked up the binoculars and continued to monitor the landing situation.

Meanwhile, on the beachhead.Wu Qiu looked at the fallen soldiers and frowned and said to Zhu Zhiming, the commander of the 778th Division beside him, "Old Zhu! This is not the way to go! We are now under cross fire from the little devils! And the devils' mines on the beachhead are too dense!"

Before Wu Qiu finished speaking, Zhu Zhiming looked at the firepower of the Japanese army on the left and right and said seriously: "Old Wu, let me change our attack method, what do you think?!" Hearing Zhu Zhiming's words, Wu Qiu avoided The bullets flying around from the Japanese army asked, "How to change the law?!"

Zhu Zhiming said with a serious face: "Your 737th Division attracts the firepower of the devils in the direction of Funamitai. I will lead our division to storm Mount Surabachi. As long as the Japanese army can't take care of both left and right, our follow-up landing troops can open up the landing field!" Wu Qiu Hearing Zhu Zhiming's words, he thought for a while and said, "Old Zhu! Your division will be very dangerous! The defense system of the Suribachi devils is very complete! I think our division should attack Zheboshan!"

Zhu Zhiming shook his head and said: "Your division has already suffered heavy losses! Let our division fight!" After speaking, Zhu Zhiming said to his chief of staff Wu Zhida: "Chief of staff! Immediately mobilize artillery fire to suppress the Japanese army on Suribachi Mountain! At the same time Gather troops to attack Mount Suribachi!"

"Yes!" Wu Zhida, the chief of staff of the 778th Division, picked up the radio and called: "Bird's Nest! Bird's Nest! I am Suzaku, I am Suzaku! Target Mount Suribachi is on fire! Target Mount Suribachi is on fire!"

Hear Wu Zhida's code!The Katyusha artillery on the landing ship immediately turned around and fired at Mount Suribachi. "Swish...swish..." A series of rockets were accurately fired at Mount Suribachi. The Japanese army responsible for the defense of Mount Suribachi gradually weakened under the intense firepower of the rockets.

At the moment when the Japanese army's firepower on Mount Suribachi was suppressed, Zhu Zhiming personally commanded a brigade that had landed and launched an attack on Mount Suribachi.

Tadmichi Aobayashi, who was observing the situation at the main base of Wonsan, discovered the attacking strategy of the Chinese army and ordered: "All the fighters and bombers at Wonsan Airport and Chidori Airport take off and block the Chinese army attacking Mount Suribachi with firepower! "

"Hi!" said the messenger and ran away quickly.After the messengers left, Aobayashi Tadao said to Chief of Staff Ludong Saburo, "Get me the artillery position at Erduanyan!" Hearing Aobayashi Zhongdao's words, Ludong Saburo picked up the phone without hesitation and connected. After Erduanyan's artillery position, the phone was handed over to Su Lin Zhongdao.

Tadamichi Aobayashi answered the phone, and seriously ordered: "Implement artillery coverage on the sea area near Wenghama and the beach area!" After receiving Tadamichi Aobayashi's order, the Japanese artillery positions hidden in Erduanyan suddenly attacked the people on Wenghama and the beach. The landing field of the Chinese army was covered by artillery fire.

Looking at the intensive artillery fire of the Japanese army, Zhang Lieyang calmly ordered: "The bombers adopt fixed-point bombing! Complete a bombing target and clear a place!" Following Zhang Lieyang's order, the [-] bombers on standby at Guam Airport were escorted again by fighter planes. Flew over Iwo Jima.

Seeing the fixed-point bombing by the bomber, He Yingqin couldn't help asking: "Lieyang, it seems that the attack situation is very pessimistic! Should we give up the attack now and wait until dawn before landing?!"

Zhang Lieyang shook his head and said: "Even if we landed on Iwo Jima at dawn, what will we do at night?! Only by exposing the firepower of the little devils in front of us, can we destroy the Japanese army in Iwo Jima as quickly as possible. Island fortifications!"

He Yingqin immediately became quiet after hearing Zhang Lieyang's words.On another warship not far away, Admiral Nimitz, the commander-in-chief of the US Pacific Theater and the commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet, saw the tragic situation of the landing, and couldn't help saying: "It seems that the decision of the President is correct! If it is If we American soldiers attack Iwo Jima, I think those boring people in Congress will call us incompetent again!"

Just after Nimitz finished speaking, Chief of Staff Smith said seriously: "Judging from the current situation, we are all confused by the appearance of Iwo Jima! At the military meeting, many officers said that Iwo Jima could be captured in five days. Only General Zhang Lieyang said it would take at least a month! It seems that he is the only one among us who is relatively sober!"

When Nimitz heard Smith's words, he nodded and said, "We should also give some firepower to the Chinese! Order the ships to adjust their direction to bombard Iwo Jima, suppress the Japanese firepower on the island, and help the Chinese land!" According to Nimitz's order, dozens of warships turned their guns to Iwo Jima and started shelling.

As the U.S. naval guns went into battle, the pressure on the landing troops suddenly weakened.Wu Qiu, who finally got a chance to breathe, immediately said to Hua Tianqing, the chief of staff beside him: "Order the troops to consolidate the landing field immediately! Let the second echelon speed up the infiltration operation!"

"Yes!" Hua Tianqing immediately turned on the walkie-talkie and conveyed Wu Qiu's order.After receiving Wu Qiu's order, the 737st Brigade of the 921th Division, which had completed the early landing, immediately launched an assault on Chidori Airport.When the 921 Brigade arrived at Chidoriba to ambush, the attacking force was stubbornly blocked by the Japanese army.

Min Xiangdong, the brigade commander of the 921 Brigade who commanded the troops to attack, looked at the large and small firepower points of the Japanese army outside the airport, and sighed helplessly and said, "Push the flat-fire gun up for me! Lift up the tortoise shell of the little devil!" Hearing Min Xiangdong's words Ordered, the soldiers quickly pushed the four flat-firing guns brought ashore to the front line.

Ichiro Ogawa, the captain of the 219th Regiment of the Japanese Army in charge of Chidori Airport, watched the flat-firing guns pushed up by China from the bunker, and without hesitation picked up the phone and called: "Chidori Airport is under attack by the Chinese army! Call for artillery support! After receiving the call from Ogawa Ichiro, Aobayashi Tadao calmly ordered: "Mr. Ogawa, delay the Chinese army's attack speed at all costs! The artillery will support you immediately!" Saying that, Aobayashi Tadao hung up the phone.
