"Ding......" At the division headquarters of the 3rd Marine Division of the US Army, the telephone rang, and the staff officer on duty hurriedly grabbed the telegram. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"The 3rd Regiment reported that Haleieva, where we were stationed, was fiercely attacked by the Chinese, and it is highly likely that the Chinese landed here." U.S. military officers stationed in northern Oahu reported.

"What? Okay, I'll report to the general right away. The staff officer on duty nodded and put down the phone.

Major General Karen hadn't gotten up yet, but the sudden outbreak of fierce fighting made it impossible for him to sleep for long, and after receiving the report, he put on his clothes and got up.

"What's going on? Are you sure? Are the Chinese preparing to land in Haleiva? Major General Cullen asked.

"Yes, General. It has now been confirmed that the Chinese have committed a large number of troops to the landing in Haleiva. The staff officer hurriedly replied. In the time that Major General Cullen was getting up, they had reconfirmed the situation.

"Call the 3rd regiment and tell them to hold their positions no matter what. Also, call the command of the Pacific Fleet, the landing operation of the Chinese has begun. Major General Cullen ordered.

"Yes, General." The staff officer nodded.

On the Haleiwa front, the 1st Regiment of the 12th Division of the Chinese Marine Corps is landing under the cover of heavy artillery fire. Dense artillery shells continued to explode on the beaches of Haleiwa, destroying all the defensive positions built by the US military. Even the minefields laid on the beach were destroyed by the dense shelling.

"Colonel, the Chinese are under very heavy fire, the front line has suffered heavy losses, ask for support." A second lieutenant officer reported to the commander of the 3rd regiment.

"Tell Major Blair that I have no extra troops at my disposal to reinforce him, except for the civilian personnel at the regimental headquarters. He'll have to hold out until the end of the afternoon, when I'll have the 2nd Battalion replace him. The colonel commanded.

Because it was uncertain whether the Chinese* army's offensive at Haleiwa was a real attack or just a feint, the US troops did not dare to act rashly at all. If you fall for the trick of diverting the tiger from the mountain, the consequences will be troublesome.

Although the 3rd Marine Division of the U.S. Army has more than 20,000 men, it is seriously undermanned if it is scattered throughout Oahu.

On the sea, one after another landing craft are rushing to the shore at a rapid pace, and on each landing craft, there is a squad of soldiers. In front of the landing craft, squad machine guns have been erected. Once in range, these machine guns are also capable of firing and raining shells on American positions, which plays a role in suppressing American firepower and reducing their own casualties.

"Hurry up and fire, the Chinese are starting to land." On the beach, in the remnants of the U.S. fortifications under heavy shelling and bombardment by the Chinese Navy, a major officer gives orders. Within the dead end behind this fortification, several 81-mm mortars and 60-mm mortars were deployed. Because of the secrecy of the deployment, it was not discovered, so it was not discovered by the carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy, nor was it destroyed by the ship's guns.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "When the order was given, the mortars began to fire, and the shells whistled down into the sea, splashing columns of water.

"Very good, ask the field artillery of the regimental headquarters to give us support." Seeing this, the major officer nodded.

"Boom!" An 80-mm mortar shell hit a landing craft and easily blew it up. The officers and men of the Imperial Marine Corps above all fell into the water, and after a dozen or so people fell into the water, none of them floated. After all, it is simply impossible to swim to the shore on your own strength after carrying heavy equipment. Even after falling into the water, as long as you can't unlock the equipment in the first place, it is basically a dead end.

Dive bombers and fighters hovering in the sky spotted the American artillery position that was in session, and a dive bomber dived directly to drop a bomb, dropping a heavy aerial bomb on this artillery position. After the explosion of the aerial bomb, the entire artillery position was razed to the ground.

Not far away, regimental artillery also began shelling, and a door of 75-mm field guns began to fire. The Americans knew that if they did not find a way to block the landing of the Chinese marines, their positions would not be able to hold.

Dense shells fell into the sea, and landing craft were constantly hit, killing Chinese marines. However, the fighter planes and dive bombers hovering in the sky suppressed the US artillery positions, and constantly used machine guns or aviation machine guns to strafe the US artillery positions and slaughter those US artillerymen. Or simply destroy the artillery positions of the manicure with bombs.

With the loss of air superiority, it is simply impossible for the US military to resist the attack of the Imperial Marines.

At 7:12 a.m., the first landing craft rushed to the positions of the American troops, and after the front hatch opened, a dozen Marines rushed to the beach. It's just that this time is also the easiest time to be hit. U.S. machine guns often wait for the hatch to open, and then open heavy fire, killing the officers and men of the Chinese Marine Corps.

"Da Da Da!" The dense bullets strafed, and the Imperial Marines who had just rushed out of the hatch were knocked to the ground, and most of the dozen or so soldiers were shot and fell to the ground, and only three or four were lying on the beach, unable to raise their heads under suppression.

"Boom!" A bomb fell from the sky and accurately hit this machine gun fire point of the US army, destroying the machine gun fire point.

As more and more landing craft washed up on the beach, so did the number of Imperial marines who landed on the beach, firing at the American troops while they began to organize an offensive in an attempt to break through the American defenses.

In the beginning, the U.S. military would shoot at the Imperial Marines, but after their shots often attracted attacks from the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft in the sky, the Americans learned to behave. Of course, if they don't stop the Imperial Marines, their positions will soon be lost.

At half past seven in the morning, the Marines, who had assembled a battalion, launched a fierce attack on the positions of the American troops, and with the cooperation of carrier-based aircraft in the sky, the American troops suffered heavy casualties and were simply powerless to stop the Imperial Marines, and the positions of the American troops on the beach were broken through. Later, the Imperial Marines attacked Haleiva, a city north of Oahu that was reduced to ruins under heavy shelling and bombardment by the Imperial Navy. The regimental headquarters of the 3rd Regiment of the 3rd Division of the US Marine Corps stationed here have already taken refuge in the underground fortifications.

In the face of the Imperial Marines, which had sea and air superiority, the US military could not resist at all. Their artillery did not even dare to show their heads, and if they did, they would be bombarded by carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy. This caused heavy losses to the US Marines, and some of the artillerymen, who did not even dare to fight anymore, were afraid that when they opened fire, they would be patronized by the carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy.

Admiral Hasben Kimmel summoned Major General Cullen, commander of the 3rd Marine Division, to the underground headquarters of the U.S. Navy's Pacific Plus Fleet Command at Oahu Naval Harbor.

"Major General, did the Chinese land at Haleiwa in the north? What's going on now? Admiral Kimmel asked.

"Your Excellency, the Chinese offensive in Haleiwa is very fierce, and it is difficult for us to resist their attack. The 3rd Regiment stationed in Haleiwa had already suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Chinese. It's hard to say how long it will be able to hold out. Once the Chinese have gained a foothold in Haleiwa, they will land there on a large scale and then attack south along the plains, all the way to Pearl City and Honolulu. Major General Cullen said.

"Hell! Isn't there any other way to stop the Chinese? Admiral Kimmel scolded.

"Your Excellency, this is almost impossible." Major General Cullen shook his head. Although, he considers himself a soldier to be the best soldier. However, the strength of the Chinese Marine Corps should not be underestimated! If it goes head-to-head, his Marines are definitely no worse than the Chinese Marines. However, the Chinese Marine Corps has received too much support from the sea and the air, which has completely suppressed the US Marine Corps and put it at a complete disadvantage.

"Well, Major General, do your best to deal with the Chinese. We need to buy more time for the United States. Admiral Hasben Kimmel said.

Major General Cullen nodded.

Although, Haleieva's side kept asking for help from Major General Karen and asking for reinforcements to be sent to Haleiwa. However, Major General Cullen ultimately refused. Because, from the south to the north of Oahu, it is a full twenty kilometers. If reinforcements are sent, they will inevitably become the target of attacks by the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy. When the time comes, I am afraid that the rescue will not be successful, but will pay heavy losses. This will have a big impact on whether they can hold out on Oahu for a longer period of time.

The attack of the Imperial Marines on Haleiva, with the support of naval guns and carrier-based aircraft, went very smoothly. Despite the U.S. military's desperate resistance here, they resisted the attack of the Imperial Marines. However, the final result was still crushed by the Imperial Marines with their powerful firepower.

By the afternoon of 11 September, the fighting was largely over. The Imperial Marines succeeded in taking Haleiva, and more than 1,000 of the 3,700 American regiments stationed here surrendered to the Imperial Marines. The rest of the people were killed in the war, and many of them were killed by large-caliber naval artillery shells or aerial bombs, and even the corpses could not be found. (To be continued.) )
