The Japanese soldiers lying on the ground did not even dare to raise their heads, because there were too many bullets in the United States.

Even though they were all brainwashed and thoroughly militarists, they still did not dare to meet the storm of steel.

"Attack! Offensive! Behind several corpses, a Japanese officer lay on the beach and screamed weakly, encouraging his soldiers to continue fighting.

Unfortunately, no matter how much he shouted, he couldn't get his soldiers to stand up and move on.

Finally, one of the soldiers raised his head, and the bullets swept like a storm, making people unable to open their eyes.

"Suddenly! Dodo! The sound of the American heavy machine gun, which frightened the Japanese army, began to roar again, and the sound was really painful.

"For the sake of the Great Japanese Empire! For His Majesty the Emperor! Shouting loudly, the newly arrived Japanese soldiers disembarked in a swarm of the boat.

The Japanese had an advantage in forces, so they could have a steady stream of onslaughts and not be afraid of losses on the beachhead.

However, the strength of the US military deployed here is limited, and they have lost sea and air supremacy, so they are naturally relatively passive.

However, when it comes to losses, it seems that the Japanese army, which is in the initiative, is a little more. Just those hidden American bunkers were enough for the Japanese army.

Suddenly, the sound of whistling shells flew over the heads of the Japanese troops, and the navy finally began to provide fire support, and the large-caliber shells showed their due power, and suddenly the attack of the American army was silent.

One after another, huge shells exploded on the island, and the suppression positions of the US troops on the beachhead began to collapse, and the losses were also heavy all at once.

This time, the Japanese army did not intend to give up the opportunity, and the Japanese soldiers, who had been suppressed on the beachhead for a long time, finally stood up tenaciously again.

"For His Majesty the Emperor! Offensive! A Japanese officer brandished his command knife and shouted hoarsely.

The Japanese soldiers beside him also got up and took a step towards the place where the explosions kept happening in the distance.

It was not quite the same as the German Atlantic barrier, because the United States did not have time to build dense fortifications on the Hawaiian Islands.

Those heavy reinforced concrete fortresses, which were not afraid of naval artillery and bombardment, could not have been built in just one month.

As a result, only a few forts were strengthened, and most of the American positions were rudimentary civil fortifications.

Relying on such fortifications, it is okay to block the Japanese troops landing on the beachhead, but it is a bit of a fool's dream to expect such a defensive line to withstand the attack of the Japanese Navy's large-caliber naval guns.

The situation was finally opened, and the Japanese soldiers had approached the American lines, and they rushed forward with a shout, finally rushing into the trenches of the American soldiers.

The U.S. troops in the trenches were almost dead, littered with huge craters from smoking shells, surrounded by the bodies of American soldiers, and some damaged camouflage.

The Japanese soldiers jumped off the crater, and finally there was cover, and the losses plummeted, which made these Japanese soldiers ecstatic.

They also found food in the trenches, as well as some household items left behind by American soldiers when they retreated.

It can be seen that there used to be a lot of American GIs stationed here, but unfortunately they are all gone.

There were only their bodies on the ground, and the living had left. Although the American soldiers were not annihilated, the Japanese officers were already satisfied with the situation.

Compared to lying on the beach and waiting to be slaughtered, their situation at this moment can be described as heaven: there are already dug bunkers, there are no machine guns to strafe and attack, and they are already very happy.

"Your Excellency...... Our troops have broken through the first line of defense of the US army and are attacking in depth on the island! We'll be in control of Kauai in no time! An officer walked up behind Yamamoto Isoroku and reported great news.

In their view, although 1,000 Japanese soldiers were killed, the capture of part of the Hawaiian Islands was a great victory.

"Keep attacking! We don't have time to consume here! Yamamoto Fifty-six coldly gave the order to continue the attack.

Only by taking the entire Hawaiian Islands in one fell swoop can the Japanese army barely stabilize the Pacific front.

The United States is already urgently launching aircraft carriers, and this news is coming from distant Germany, although it is not very accurate, but it is worth believing.

The intelligence given by Germany has not been wrong, so Yamamoto Isoroku is very envious of Germany for having such an efficient and concealed intelligence system.

Japan is one of the most intelligence-conscious countries in the world! From the time of the First Sino-Japanese Naval War in the late Qing Dynasty, they made their fortune by intelligence.

It's just that the distant United States is an impenetrable country for Japan, and Japanese spies are almost impossible to do in the United States.

But Germany is different, and Germany seems to know the United States better. The Führer's intelligence services have penetrated many areas of the United States, providing intelligence and reference information to the nearest detail.

Yamamoto knew that once the United States was consumed here in the Hawaiian Islands, Japan would be finished.

Therefore, he had to go all out to occupy the Hawaiian Islands as soon as possible, and then immediately go south with the fleet to find trouble in Rabaul and other areas.

"The Marines are no longer capable of continuing the offensive...... If you force an attack at this time, you can only rely on the army ......," the admiral said worriedly to Yamamoto Isoroku.

"Then let the army continue the attack! Bring their tanks up too! Whatever it takes, take Kauai! Yamamoto Fifty-six glanced at the other party and commanded.

The Hawaiian Islands are not a single island, but an archipelago of several islands. Even Midway belongs to this archipelago. Kauai is one of them, and a major island.

Kauai is only a short distance away from Oahu, and with the occupation of Kauai, Oahu can be said to be the front line.

And the U.S. base on Oahu has become fat under the Japanese front.

Conquering the entire Hawaiian Islands will not only capture a rare naval supply base in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, but also several islands where airfields can be built.

With these islands, the Japanese army could take off fighters with a long range and control large areas of the sea nearby.

"A month! This is my deadline for you! Yamamoto Fifty-six stretched out a finger and said, "I don't care what method you use, navy or army, occupy here!" ”
