The nightmare of the US military began when the US military airfield began to use transport planes to deliver supplies to Okinawa......

The US transport plane loaded with ammunition and supplies had just landed at the airport and was transporting ammunition down when it suddenly heard bursts of exclamations and gunfires, and saw two planes come out of nowhere and quickly approach at a low altitude almost clinging to the wooden tops and the top of the mountain, and then rushed headlong into the pile of ammunition that had just been unloaded without the slightest hesitation......

There was a "boom" of fire, and the flames from the explosion spread to a distance of more than 100 meters in the surrounding area, and several nearby transport planes and fighter planes quickly ignited their fires, followed by bursts of explosions. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"What's going on?" Lieutenant General Buckner, commander of the US 10th Army, looked at the skyrocketing flames at the airfield and felt that something was wrong.

"General!" Staff Officer Hogg ran into the command and reported: "It's a Japanese suicide attack aircraft!" ”

"Suicide attack aircraft?" Buckner said suspiciously, "We've disabled all their airports, haven't we?" And...... Why didn't the Japanese suicide attack aircraft target warships? ”

It is not said that suicide attack aircraft must be aimed at warships, and this is where Mitsuru Ushijima excels...... He knew that the Japanese army attacked the US military with suicide attack planes in the Battle of the Philippine Sea, so that the US military was already quite prepared.

At the same time, most of the suicide attack planes piloted by the Japanese in the Battle of Leyte Gulf were fast fighters, and the pilots were quite qualified...... Most of the pilots who flew suicide attack aircraft had two to three years of flight training, and although they were still rookies from a pilot's point of view, they were still novices for those civilian aircraft under Ushijima

"Pilot", that quality is not known how many times better.

Therefore, Ushijima did not hope that he could sink the US warship with these suicide attack planes, and he knew that if he did, he would only send the suicide attack planes out to be used as targets for the US military...... Ushijima is well aware of the air defense of US warships, not to mention the anti-aircraft guns with proximity fuses, and the powerful fighters, which will destroy the attack planes on the way.

More importantly...... And what about destroying one, two, or even destroying the aircraft carriers of the US military? Can it affect the situation of the battle on Okinawa?

The answer is no.

However, if the landed U.S. military with suicide attack aircraft destroys its supplies, it can deal a blow to the U.S. military.

Then, before Buckner could react, several explosions were heard one after another...... At this time, it was the tank units of the American army that were attacked.

The US "Sherman" tank is a well-known "lighter" that can be used as soon as it is hit by an airplane, and it quickly catches fire and explodes...... In the blink of an eye, five "Sherman" tanks of the US army were on fire.

Fortunately, the Japanese planes did not carry much gasoline, otherwise more tanks might have been affected...... At this time, the blockaded Japan was using Matsune-made Matsune oil instead of gasoline, so each time it sent a suicide attack plane, it only loaded it with about the same amount of fuel that could attack the target.

Then an even more serious accident happened.

Because the U.S. military was making too good progress, many U.S. troops were negligent, and the logistics unit haphazardly piled up gasoline brought ashore in the forest, and two suicide attack planes swooped down on it when they saw the opportunity...... One of the attack planes was hit in the air by an anti-aircraft machine gun and disintegrated in the air and then fell headlong to the ground and exploded into pieces, while the other flew straight into the gasoline barrel with black smoke, and then with a "boom" sound, the entire forest turned into a sea of fire.

"Organize air defense!" Buckner shouted.

This can be said to be a mistake on the part of Buckner, who always thought that after landing, he would have to face more enemy attacks from the ground, and at the same time, he thought that the US military had already mastered air supremacy, so he did not expect such a situation at all.

However, it was too late to organize air defense at this time, and one after another the fighters drilled out of unexpected places for the US military, and then they did not hesitate to rush straight down to the target......

In fact, these suicide attack planes are almost missiles in modern warfare, the difference is that the missiles in modern warfare are automatically controlled, while these suicide attack planes of the Japanese army are controlled by people.

And the advantages of these "missiles" ...... The U.S. military is in the plains of central Okinawa, and the Japanese army is in the hilly area to the south, and the "missile" can suddenly emerge from behind the mountain and appear in front of the U.S. military, and then dive towards the target at high speed, that is, ...... Even if the US military organizes air defense, they will only have a few seconds to react.

"What the fuck!" Buckner scolded at the sound of explosions one after another: "Where did these Japanese planes take off from? Where have all our fighters gone? ”

The genus was not brought under control until several US Hellcat fighters appeared over the island of Okinawa and shot down several attack planes.

"General!" Staff Officer Hogg, who was guarding the radio, reported to Buckner: "According to the information from the pilots, it is likely that the Japanese fighter plane took off from a concealed runway...... Because many of these aircraft are civil aircraft, they have low runway requirements, and often only need a straight road to take off! ”

"They all took off from the south, didn't they?"

"Yes, General!"

"So......" Buckner said, "their main forces are in the south!" ”

After thinking about it, Buckner ordered: "Order the 383rd Regiment to attack to the south immediately!" ”

"Yes!"

Buckner thought things simply, he thought that if the U.S. military could capture the Kerama Islands and land so easily, then it should not be difficult to attack the south of Okinawa...... Buckner was confident in the heavy tanks of the American army.

But he didn't know if he didn't fight, and he didn't know that the situation was not what he thought it was at all.

The hilly terrain itself was not suitable for tank warfare, and Ushijima Mitsumata laid a complete fortification to the south...... This fortification is not an ordinary fortification, but the first time that Ushijima Mitsuru used the "anti-slope" tactic in order to counteract the superior firepower of the American army.

The so-called "anti-slope" tactic is to take the initiative to abandon the positive slope of the mountain...... Although the defense on the front slope can condescend to occupy a high position to strike the enemy, it also has to face the bombardment of the enemy's powerful tanks, artillery, machine guns, and even naval guns and aircraft.

However, if the front slope is abandoned and the fortifications are built on the reverse slope, although it is easy for the enemy to attack the hilltop position from the front slope, all the covering fire will be ineffective in an instant, and it can only be carried face to face.
