983, the sea of corpses and blood

The time is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the people.

No matter how powerful the American devil is, he is an outsider. When Chinese civilization shone on the world, they were still savages.

No matter how ferocious the Japanese devil is, he is Asian, and he is also a nation that has been influenced by the culture of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Sun Tzu's Art of War, the Japanese devils learned better than the American devils, at least Lieutenant General Awabayashi Tadamichi learned better than Nimitz.

The first help that the Japanese devils got was the geographical advantage.

Originally, the geographical advantage was not so great, but the American devils thought that they had money in their hands and were rich everywhere, and tens of thousands of tons of bombs were thrown out every day.

What does it mean to lift a stone to shoot yourself in the foot and dig your own grave?

Just look at the tragic fate of the American devils.

Iwo Jima, as the name suggests, is a volcanic island.

Because the volcano erupted for a long time, it formed an island dominated by sulfur, which is why it has such a name.

Volcanic eruptions produce not only sulfur, but also ash.

If the American devils had a little bit of geographical knowledge and had not thrown so many bombs into it, the end would have been much better.

Volcanic ash has been deposited for thousands or tens of thousands of years, and it is already relatively strong, and it is no problem to walk in a sports car.

But the American devils are desperately trying to throw bombs here, and that is really a forgivable sin, and it is impossible to live for oneself!

An all-natural man-eating trap was just awakened by tens of thousands of tons of shells from the Americans, and then it became the Americans digging their own graves.

As soon as the first wave of 68 tracked landing vehicles of the American devils, loaded with 1,020 people, landed ashore, they were all trapped in the volcanic ash and could not move an inch.

The second and third waves that followed did not know the specific situation in front of them, and still increased their horsepower to rush up, but they were blocked by these immobile tracked landing vehicles, and they could not rush to land at all.

The more than 4,200 landing troops of the 4th Marine Division had no choice but to wade ashore and thus step into the gates of hell.

When the Americans first landed, the Japanese had only sporadic small arms fire, and Commander Turner even thought that with this development, the entire island could be occupied in just five days.

However, the good times did not last long, and the landed American devils advanced more than 200 meters, and the Japanese and other American devils began to extend their artillery fire, and Lieutenant General Awabayashi Tadamichi ordered the Japanese artillery to accurately cover the landing beachhead according to the number that had been calculated in advance.

After five minutes of artillery fire, the more than 4,200 American devils who rushed to the shore had all been reimbursed.

The 4th Marine Division, which had just been replenished with new recruits, was once again crippled before it saw the enemy!

Except for a part of the corpse that was blown out, the rest of the American devils were all buried by volcanic ash.

It is very unusual for American devils to count the casualties: if they can't find the body, they are missing, but they are not counted as killed.

As a result, this landing, the American devils only found more than 300 corpses, so the military history recorded that "384 people were killed and 3,821 people were missing!" ”

In order to save their landing troops, all the naval guns of the American devils opened fire, regardless of the damage to the barrels, and in the blink of an eye, 38,550 rounds of naval artillery shells of caliber or more were consumed, and the fire support was unprecedented.

But what's the use of that? The only effect is to blow up the corpses of their own soldiers, further awaken the volcanic ash, and reduce the number of "recordable" casualties!

On February 20, 1945, from the early hours of the morning, the guns of the American ships were prepared for fire according to the requirements of the landing force. At 8:30 a.m., the 5th Marine Division attacked Oribo Mountain.

Since many of the Japanese fortifications were built in caves that could not be reached by naval artillery fire, the 28th Regiment could barely advance until the tanks arrived.

In the end, under the cover of tanks, grenades, explosive packs, flamethrowers were used to eliminate the Japanese troops in the cave one by one, and sometimes even bulldozers were dispatched to seal the hole, so the progress was extremely slow.

Until dusk, a total of 180 meters were advanced, and this is the combat effectiveness of the American devils.

On February 21, 1945, because the 4th and 5th Marine Divisions had been disabled, the first reserve of the American devils, the regiments of the 3rd Marine Division, were ordered to go to the island in batches and enter the battle.

On the first day, the only result that the 3rd Marine Division received was that the number of dead and missing people had reached 1,204 and 1,080 wounded.

Not even the face of the enemy was seen, and the entire battlefield was less than a kilometer deep, all of which were bare volcanic ash beaches, and there were countless missing people.

Missing? Disappeared under the noses of tens of thousands of people. Could it be that American devils are all immortals and can fly away?

In the entire history of human warfare, only the American devils of the strange democratic countries have made this kind of war report.

Of course, it is understandable that the war report of any belligerent country needs to boost the morale of the people and desperately reduce the number of casualties among its own people.

But can't the American devils find a better excuse? Of course not!

Because the American devil is a democratic country, if it is directly recorded as a list of the dead, it must be explained to the family.

Now that your family is not killed, but only temporarily missing, why are you in a hurry?

We are sending someone to find out the whereabouts of your family, take your time. It's a time of war, and it's chaotic outside, so it's not okay to be in a hurry.

This is the fundamental reason why the American devils invented "if the body is not found, it will be regarded as missing".

If the body cannot be found for 10,000 years, it can only be regarded as missing, and it is useless for someone to prove that it is useless to be killed.

Because the American devil is a democratic country, we must take the facts as evidence!

The casualties were so great that Iwo Jima simply could not be occupied.

Knowing such a brutal reality of the battle for Iwo Jima, the American press strongly demanded: "Gas the Japanese and let the Marines take a breather!" Why don't you use poison gas when dealing with Japanese troops hiding in tunnels or caverns is practical and more merciful than flamethrowers? ”

The logic of a democratic country, that is, wonderful, cannot be convinced.

Poison gas is more merciful than a flamethrower, what the fuck is the logic?

Nimitz admitted after the war that the failure to use poison gas was purely morally motivated, and as a result, a large number of good Marines paid with their lives.

On February 24, 1945, the fighting became whiter and worse. The total number of casualties of the US military that day had reached 6,000, of which 1,600 were killed.

In the face of such heavy casualties, the U.S. military sent the second reserve, that is, the headquarters of the 3rd Marine Division, the 9th Marine Regiment, and the 12th Field Artillery Regiment, to the island for the final battle.

The main force of the 3rd Marine Division has been wiped out, and now the division headquarters is hiding behind, so it can only fulfill the promise made before the war: "You are all gone, Lao Tzu!" ”

Every step forward for U.S. forces on Iwo Jima comes at a huge cost. The battle has become an out-and-out "war of attrition of human lives".

Sometimes in a whole day, the American devil only advances 4 meters. The heavy casualties made even the officers have no courage to throw their soldiers into battle again.

In the battle for the second commanding height on the island, the 382 Heights, the 4th Marine Division suffered extremely heavy casualties, so the 382 Heights were called the "meat grinder".

More than 60 per cent of the casualties in the combat units were high, experienced company, platoon commanders and sergeant majors were killed or wounded, and many company commanders were enlisted or sergeants, while platoon and squad leaders were ordinary soldiers.

On March 2, 1945, the 24th Regiment finally captured the heights, but the casualties were enormous, and there were few remaining officers, and almost all the troops were wiped out.

The 5th Marine Division on the left flank attacked the 362nd Heights in the same way as the 4th Division on the 382nd Heights: as soon as they attacked the top of the hill, the Japanese on the flank immediately blocked the retreat of the American troops with intensive firepower, and then wiped out all the American troops attacking the high ground with deep firepower and ferocious counterattacks.

On March 21, 1945, Emperor Kokiko was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General Tadamichi Awabayashi in recognition of his record number of enemies destroyed on Iwo Jima.

In the early morning of March 26, 1945, Tadamichi Kuribayashi personally led about 350 Japanese troops to launch a final counterattack against the American troops at Airport No. 2, and more than 700 American troops were killed in their sleep.

The Marines suffered heavy casualties, and the naval battles of the American devils did not take advantage.

When the Marines and the little Japanese devils were fighting for their lives, the American devils finally understood the true meaning of "kamikaze".

After extensive publicity by Lieutenant General Ryuji Onishi, the little Japanese devils set off a frenzy on the island, and the original 24-member "kamikaze death squad" was suddenly expanded into a huge contingent of more than 2,400 people.

On February 12, 1945, eight "kamikaze drones" attacked for the first time, because they were the first batch of "flying elites" personally trained by Vice Admiral Ryuji Onishi, and they were able to accurately crash into the chimney of the enemy ship or the ammunition compartment, so the results were brilliant.

It achieved the amazing record of sinking 3 American devil battleships, 5 heavy cruisers, 7 transport ships, and damaging many US ships at the same time.

The little Japanese devils were so crazy that they far surpassed the German fascists and shocked the whole world.

The American lame man once again heard that his troops were casually tens of thousands of dead and wounded, and finally fell into the last state of madness, ordering that the "Grand Slam" and "Fat Boy" atomic bombs must be eliminated and the assembly must be accelerated, otherwise military law will be engaged.

Bai Shujie was actually quite shocked, he had just heard about it in his previous life, but this time it was his own nuclear submarine that directly sent back the secretly taken photos, which was really shocking to the soul.

At the same time, Bai Shujie also knew that once the war fell into the final madness, it would not be far from the end.

Because of this, Bai Shujie issued combat readiness orders for all arms and departments:

"Order: The First Fleet of Dragon City immediately pulled anchor and set sail, crossed the Sulu Sea and returned to Busuanga Island to hide, waiting for the next order. Ge Yougui's first aircraft carrier fleet will obey Cui San'er's orders from now on. ”

"Order: Shi Liancheng's 1st Division, Liu Zhiliang's 2nd Division's Armored Regiment, and Tank Regiment immediately board the ship and rush to Miyako Island to assemble within six days."

"Order: Cui San'er is the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, set up a headquarters on Miyako Island, and unify the command of the First Division of the Chinese Volunteer Army, the First Aircraft Carrier Fleet of the Navy, the Jian-9 Fighter Group, the H-10 Bomber Group, the First Division of Shi Liancheng and the Armored Regiment and Tank Regiment of Liu Zhiliang's Second Division, with a total strength of more than 40,000 people on standby."

"Order: Wei Chong's Fourth Division, Guan Xingguo's Fifth Division, Xu Jiatai's Third Aircraft Carrier Fleet, and Jiang Xiaoping's Fourth Rescue Fleet are immediately ready for battle and waiting for the order to attack at any time."

"Order: The missile regiment of the Zhao Dayong Artillery Headquarters and the missile regiment of the Longcheng Garrison Military Region are immediately ready for battle and ready to attack."

"Order: All bomber groups and attack aircraft of the Zhang Nianzu Air Force Command are in final preparation and ready to take off at any time."

"Order: All departments of the Republic of Lan Phong and Taiwan Province of China immediately switch to a wartime mechanism and prepare for the coming overall war. The logistics, medical, and equipment departments are on duty 24 hours a day during wartime. ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
