977 , U.S. Army Enters Battle

As the saying goes: the organ is too clever to calculate, but it misses Qingqing's life.

Roosevelt's original idea was to let the Japanese devils fight Bai Shujie first, and it would be best if the two enemies were killed and the other disabled.Then I reaped the benefits of the fisherman myself, and this wonderful design did not succeed.

At a critical juncture, the cripple wanted to take advantage of Bai Shujie's extreme hatred of Japanese monkeys and "encourage him" to rescue Major General Wavell, the commander-in-chief of the British army.

I have thought about all the ways I should think about, but none of the fish was hooked, and all the wonderful designs turned into fantasy.

The American cripple has nothing to do, so he has to go into battle shirtless, let his own people bleed, try his best to rescue the little British brother, and fulfill his promise to others.

According to the president's order, Admiral Nimitz, commander-in-chief of the US Pacific Fleet, quickly came up with a plan for this campaign, named it "surprise attack" and personally directed it.

为此,出动了包括美国第5舰队、第58航母特混舰队,一共640余艘各种序列的军舰,包括1000余架舰载机,620架陆基飞机。登陆兵力为3个陆战师、2个步兵师、1个陆战旅共12.8万人。

Guam is the largest island in the Mariana Islands. It was snatched back by the Americans from the Spanish colonists in 1898. It was once known as the "unsinkable aircraft carrier".

But on December 1941, 12, the third day after the Pearl Harbor fiasco, it was occupied by Japanese little devils. The island was captured by American Governor George and Lieutenant Colonel McNulty. fiasco.

After two and a half years, the Americans decided to take back this "unsinkable aircraft carrier" at all costs and establish a forward base for attacking the Japanese mainland.

Guam, 30 miles (48 kilometers) long and 9 miles (14 kilometers) wide, is surrounded by reefs, cliffs and large rocks, making it a serious problem for attacking forces.

In order to save time and reduce their own casualties as much as possible, and hope to get it done once and for all, the U.S. military decided to bypass the Caroline Islands and go straight to the Mariana Islands.

Its tactical purpose is to conquer Saipan and Tinian first.After clearing the periphery, take Guam back, thereby breaking through Japan's inner defense circle and opening a gap to attack Japan's mainland.

As the "absolute defense circle" delineated by Japan's Pacific strategy, Guam and its surrounding islands are in the core area of ​​this "absolute defense circle", so it is natural not to be careless in defense deployment.

At this time, the defenders of Guam and its surrounding islands were the 31st Army of the Army, and the supreme commander was Lieutenant General Hideyoshi Obata.

包括步兵第29师团、第48独立混成旅团、第10独立混成联队、第52高炮大队以及海军第54警备队、第一航空舰队共三万余人。

First Air Fleet: 22nd Air Force, 26th Air Force, 61st Air Force, 62nd Air Force.

The garrison of Guam is the 29th Division, and its supporting firepower includes more than 52 artillery pieces from the 20nd Antiaircraft Artillery Brigade, more than 40 tanks, 36 land-based fighter-bombers, and 12 torpedo attack aircraft.

There are about 29 troops in these troops, under the unified command of Lieutenant General Gao Pinbiao of the [-]th Division.

The main force defending Guam is the 29th Division, which was originally the Kwantung Army, which fought bloody battles with the Russians.It can be said that they are well-trained, well-equipped, and have strong combat effectiveness.

防守天宁岛的主力部队,是第29师团第50联队第135联队的第1大队,一个坦克中队12辆95式战车、第48独立混成旅团、海军第56警备队,第一航空舰队第1021航空队、第121航空队。

The Army has 3929 people, and the Naval Air Force has 4110 people, a total of more than [-] people. Lieutenant General Kakuji Tsunoda, Commander of the First Air Fleet, serves as the commander.

The main force defending Saipan is the 10th Independent Mixed Wing and the 54th Navy Guard, with a total number of more than [-] people.

It is a pity that in order to beat India to death with a stick, Hideki Tojo mobilized all the heavy equipment that could be mobilized. As a result, the number of artillery pieces of the Guam defenders was too small, especially the anti-aircraft firepower was almost equal to zero.

A limited number of anti-aircraft guns, against the nearly [-] U.S. aircraft bombing in turn, is not equal to zero, but tends to be negative.Because these anti-aircraft guns not only don't work, but also need a lot of people to be buried with them.

The US military's campaign began from Tinian Island.

The U.S. Navy dispatched 3 battleships, 5 cruisers, and 16 destroyers to bombard Tinian Island at one time, plus 358 aircraft for eighteen hours of artillery preparation.

However, the little devil's combat endurance far exceeded the imagination of the U.S. military. Under such a violent bombing, the battleship Colorado was hit by bad luck and was sunk by the little devil on the spot. More than 1000 U.S. troops were buried in the sea.

As a tentative attack, the first landing wave of the 4th Marine Division was fatally hit. It repeated the bad luck of the previous battle in Guadalcanal. One battalion went on vacation with God without seeing where the enemy was.

In order to reduce the casualties of the 4th Marine Division, the U.S. military temporarily adjusted the plan, and the 2nd Marine Division made a false landing on the most heavily defended southwest beach.

Accurate bombardment was carried out on the exposed Japanese firepower points, and the Japanese troops were attracted to cover the real landing of the 4th Marine Division in the north.

Not only the Japanese army did not expect, but the U.S. military did not expect that as soon as the two sides came into contact, the battle would heat up.

The advantage of the US military is the fierce artillery fire, and the so-called Marine Corps has no will to fight at all.

The weakness of the Japanese army is that they are not vigorous enough. Everyone in the Japanese army is full of fighting will to fight to the end.

After three days of bloody fighting, the Americans had lost more than [-] people without even establishing a beachhead.

In the last battle of Guadalcanal Island, the stalemate was quickly broken because Bai Shujie sent out armed helicopters to assist in the battle.

But when MacArthur proposed to buy armed helicopters, Bai Shujie was noncommittal, and finally let it go.

Although these islands used to belong to the Americans, the Americans never thought that the Japanese were all rats, and they were all geniuses when it came to building fortifications.

The U.S. military suffered a great loss in Guadalcanal. The little devils are the best at learning and summarizing, and now they have built a three-story fortress.

The first and second floors are used to resist artillery and shockproof.

As a result, the U.S. military saw that the enemy's coastal fortifications were upside down, but they did not expect that there were still intact fortifications in the ruins.

The enemy and the enemy are entangled together, and the powerful air power and naval power of the US military have all become waste.

This trick of the little devil is to learn the tactics summed up by the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army: I will be an ostrich first, and endure the devastation of your fierce artillery fire.Then they fought close to each other and exchanged their lives to get them back.

The infantry fought alone, and the three U.S. troops without the slightest will to fight could not defeat a little Japanese devil who didn't take death seriously at all, and the number of casualties rose rapidly.

The 2nd Marine Division of the U.S. Army, which was originally a feint attack as a containment force, was forced to gradually increase its strength and became stalemate.

Refueling tactics are a war of human attrition.

This is what the little devil is best at, and it is also the most clumsy tactic, but it is the most effective tactic.

In the Russo-Japanese War that year, the little devil used this tactic, which completely defeated the fighting will of the Russian army.

The little devil has fought bloody battles for many years, and of course he is constantly summing up, so he naturally has his own plots and schemes.

After killing and injuring the main force of the U.S. military landing in large numbers, a small part is trapped there, so that you can only keep adding fuel.

The 2nd Marine Division of the U.S. Army never expected that the battle would be fought like this. It was seriously lacking in ideological and tactical preparations, and naturally fell into a vicious circle of having to refuel desperately.

Although the U.S. military has more than 12 people, it is impossible to use it on a narrow battlefield.If the density of personnel added is too high, it will not be effective at all except for greater casualties.

Besides, the 12 U.S. troops are preparing to march all the way into the main island of Japan and become the final occupying force.There is still a vast battlefield thousands of sea miles behind, so naturally it is impossible to consume all of it here.

In the bloody and bloody battle, they fought without sleep for seven days. The total loss of both sides has exceeded 1 troops, and they are all exhausted.

The little devil still has some supplies on the island, but the remaining US troops trapped on the beach and in the jungle by the little devil are terrible.

However, with the passage of time, the technological strength and industrial strength between the two countries finally showed a huge force affecting the course of the war.

On the 17th day of the battle, the latest flamethrower urgently developed in the United States, the upgraded shoulder-fired rocket launcher, the famous bazooka, was finally sent to the front line.

The brutality of the First World War in Guam made the U.S. Navy officers and soldiers finally realize that mortars are basically useless in the jungle, and it is impossible to fight without direct firepower.

The bazooka was originally used to attack tanks, but it is also the most suitable direct firepower for infantry, and it is best to attack forts and caves.

At the same time, the submarine force belonging to the U.S. fleet completely cut off the Japanese army's maritime supply line, and the balance of the war finally began to tilt towards the U.S. military.

The factor that really led to the outcome of the Guam offensive and defensive battle was that General Yamamoto 56, who had been in command of the naval battle against the British in the Bay of Bengal, heard the news that Guam was in danger, and when he returned urgently by special plane, Xiao Lamei's radio monitoring team intercepted the telegram , and decipher it.

After Bai Shujie got the news, for the first time, instead of sending a plane to intercept it, he gave the Longcheng Missile Regiment an order to test the surface-to-air missile.

For this live-fire test, 64 large-scale radars on the front lines of Longcheng, Kuching, and Sabah were all linked together to seamlessly scan the entire airspace.

In Bai Shujie's impression, the landline of General Yamamoto 56 should be a G4M medium bomber with six combat escorts.

The G4M medium bomber has a wingspan of 24.3 meters, a captain of 20.2 meters, a crew of 7, twin engines, a maximum speed of 436 kilometers per hour, a ceiling of 9100 meters, and a range of 3640 kilometers. It is equipped with three 3mm machine guns and one 7.7mm cannon. It can carry 1 ton of bombs.

Bai Shujie didn't use the air force because he didn't want people to know that he was involved in the battle of Guam.To prevent the little Japanese devil from fighting himself desperately in a fit of rage, and save the American devils instead, this is not the ending Bai Shujie likes to see.

The only way is to make Yamamoto 56 and his fleet disappear suddenly.

No matter how long this suspense can be concealed, the good show on Guam is just beginning now, as long as the little Japanese devils don't target themselves for the time being, and continue to fight hard with the Americans first.

At 1944:6 am on June 29, 36, the radar first detected the target: "A fleet of aircraft appeared over the Gulf of Thailand. It was initially determined that there were seven aircraft with a level flight speed of 385 kilometers per hour and an altitude of 7500 meters."

"The radar keeps tracking, and all 24 missiles of the missile regiment enter the launch state, and then track them in groups. The enemy planes enter the sky above Wan'an Beach and launch them immediately, striving to destroy the target in the first round."

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
