Just when Michiyuki Yamada's fighter formation withdrew in desperation, the battle in the smoke of Kwajalein Island also entered a white heat. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Chinese army unexpectedly picked up a bargain, and it was a big bargain.

The Japanese army originally wanted to use fighter planes to bomb the "steel defense line" of the Chinese army, and then took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Sino-US coalition forces to rush into the "wolf's horn" and kill them in one fell swoop......

It should be said that this idea is still correct, the problem of the "wolf's horn" is that it is too crowded, with the terrain of the "wolf's horn", the strength of a regiment deployed in this square kilometer area is about the same, but here it is crowded with three regiments, and it is also two different troops from China and the United States, which makes the "wolf's horn" can almost be said to be crowded.

And this man squeezed the "wolf's horns" defense, relying on a line of defense opened by the "Sherman" tank.

It is conceivable that once this line of defense is breached, the "wolf horns" will soon fall into chaos...... At this time, it is not said that a large number of people is useful, but sometimes there are too many people to use their hands and feet to fight, which is similar to the reason that a surrounded army will be easily defeated.

Therefore, if this plan of the Japanese army can be successfully launched, the lethality of the Sino-US coalition forces will still be very strong, and the result may be really as Koga Mine estimated, because the Sino-US coalition forces have suffered too many casualties to launch a landing operation on Kwajalein Island, so they have to withdraw their troops.

But what Koga didn't expect was that the Chinese troops would "strike first" to launch an attack before the Japanese army could attack.

This disrupted all the deployments of the Japanese army.

Worse...... Because it was necessary to be prepared to storm the "wolf's horns", the elite troops of Admiral Nakatanigawa's two brigades were deployed outside the position and prepared to charge the "wolf's horns".

The Japanese troops of these two brigades secretly entered the front of the position in the dark of night, and their purpose is needless to say...... The firepower of the Chinese and American coalition forces is fierce, so try to get as close as possible to the Chinese and US coalition forces, otherwise once the battle starts, it will be suppressed by its firepower before it has time to rush into the position of the Chinese and American coalition forces, and the cooked duck will fly.

This was not a difficult task for the Japanese army, mainly due to the fact that there were many corpses on the front of the position that had not had time to be cleaned up, coupled with the cover of darkness, and the Japanese army was a master of lurking and camouflage, and some Japanese troops even lurked to a range of more than 30 meters from the defense line.

This also shows how crazy the Japanese were when they went to war...... You must know that they planned to use fighter planes to bomb the steel defense line of the Chinese troops, and more than 30 meters were within the bombing range of the Japanese army, so it was inevitable that there would be accidental injuries in this way.

However, it is undeniable that there is a reason for this practice of the Japanese army.

War is sometimes about excluding distractions, such as human nature...... For the Japanese army, whether they died at the hands of their own men or at the hands of the enemy, it was death, and it was the attrition of the troops. If a small number of people die by mistake at the hands of their own people, and can be exchanged for more people not dying at the hands of the enemy or greater strategic and tactical interests on the battlefield, it will undoubtedly be a victory.

This deployment of the Japanese army was based on this, and Nakatanigawa's idea was:

If this is not done, that is, the Japanese army is too far away from the "wolf's horn" defense line, then it is very likely that in the process of the Japanese army's charge, it will be suppressed by the enemy's timely organized firepower, you must know that the opponent is the Chinese army, once this situation occurs, it means that the Japanese army will have to pay several times the casualties and may not be able to successfully enter the "wolf's horn", and the whole plan is likely to fall short.

However, if the Japanese army was allowed to lurk at the front of the line of defense in advance...... It is true that the fighters will cause some accidental damage to the Japanese when they bomb the defensive line, but there will always be some Japanese troops who survive. This part of the surviving Japanese army can be used as a vanguard, when the enemy line is bombed and the opponent does not react, throw out a row of grenades, and then rush into the enemy line to create a mix, in this case, even with the quality of the Chinese army, it is difficult to organize an effective defense, and then the Japanese follow-up troops will continue to rush into the "wolf horns" and then successfully complete the task.

So Nakatani Kawagami made such a comparison, of course, he chose the latter, as for whether this plan is in line with human nature and respects life...... This was never something that the Japanese army had to think about.

Planning is great, but there is a saying that "planning can't keep up with change".

When the Japanese troops lurking in the front line were still stupidly waiting for their fighters to blow up the enemy's tanks, they suddenly smashed a shell on the opposite side, and before these Japanese soldiers could react, they looked in amazement that the "harvester" not far ahead had started and slowly drove towards them.

At this time, these Japanese troops lurking at the front of the defense line were dumbfounded...... You must know that they are prepared to charge, because they have to charge, so they are completely lightly armed, and even the grenades they carry are lighter and less explosive offensive grenades, and these grenades are simply not enough to deal with those "harvesters" that are slowly rolling towards them.

(Note: Offensive grenades are grenades that can be thrown during a charge, because they may accidentally injure charging allies, so offensive grenades are less lethal than defensive grenades.)

At this time, these lurking Japanese troops were in an awkward situation...... Do you run away or continue to lurk?

If you continue to lurk, you will soon have to face the tracks of tanks or the rifles and bayonets of the Chinese.

Fleeing...... behind the "harvester" were full of Chinese soldiers with guns and probes in their heads, and it was impossible to escape their control at such a close distance.

If it is for the ace troops of the Japanese army on the battlefield of Burma, then the Japanese army may choose to fight or continue to lurk and fight with the enemy, but these Japanese troops are the garrison of the Japanese army...... Although they are the elite of the garrison, they have not yet reached the quality of the ace troops of the Japanese army.

So soon a few Japanese soldiers got up from their hiding position and ran, which immediately led all the Japanese troops who were lurking, and many of them joined the fleeing army in an instant, if there were still some Japanese soldiers who did not escape...... That is to be completely frightened.

But just as the Japanese thought that they were completely at the guns of the Chinese troops, so it was no surprise that after a burst of gunfire, the fleeing Japanese soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

It's just that the speed at which the Japanese army fell was too fast...... This is not to say that the Japanese soldiers suspended their deaths, but that rows of bullets were also fired from the direction of the Japanese troops.

The target of these bullets fired from the direction of the Japanese army was not the Chinese army, because the Chinese army was in front of tanks, and fools knew that bullets could not penetrate tanks.

The targets of these bullets were fleeing Japanese troops...... The Japanese are shooting deserters.
