Early morning of August 8th.
"Your Excellency, Colonel, we found the airfield for the Japanese" "Let's attack."
"Yes" Soon, gunshots rang out.
The Japanese army hurriedly threw down the breakfast they had just made and fled into the jungle, and the American army easily seized the airfield, the runway had been completed for 80 years, the tower and power plant had been built, and a large amount of food, construction equipment, and building materials had been seized.
"Your Excellency General, the Japanese left a large amount of food and supplies" "Very good, save up" "Your Excellency, we found hundreds of cases of Japanese beer" "Your Excellency General, we have found a refrigeration plant in good condition" The various supplies seized by the Japanese in Southeast Asia sent a wave to the Americans here, which also made the landing US troops very excited, and greatly strengthened the confidence of the US soldiers.
The war, at first, was the attack on their Pearl Harbor base by the Japanese, and then it was the Japanese who attacked their colonies.
Southeast Asia, for the most part, has fallen into the hands of the Japanese.
For the American people, the Japanese at this time were cruel demons.
But after Midway, they gave the Japanese a great defeat.
And then this time on Kuah Island, the Japanese were driven away by them, they successfully won this landing, and also captured a large amount of supplies and the airfield that the Japanese army was about to build, which will become a transit point for their allies, and a large number of counteroffensive planes will take off here to attack the Japanese On Tulagi Island, not far from Kuah Island, the U.S. military was suffering fierce resistance from the Japanese army.
Tulagi is a natural haven with two small islands on the east side of the island: Gavutu Island and Tanambogo Island, which are like two sentinels guarding Tulagi.
The British colonists had built an airstrip seaplane airfield on these two small islands before the war, but after the Japanese occupied the area, they expanded it and planned to build it into a seaplane airfield that could monitor the entire Solomon Islands.
The U.S. troops carried out a fierce bombardment of the concentrated artillery fire on Tulagi Island, and the Japanese troops hurriedly hid in bunkers, and the U.S. troops successfully went ashore under the cover of artillery fire, but soon encountered stubborn resistance from the Japanese troops when they advanced in depth.
On the two small islands, the U.S. military underestimated the Japanese army, because the island was too small, the Japanese army organized a defense at the front of the beach, and the U.S. artillery equipment failed to destroy the Japanese army's fortifications built on the strong mountain cliffs, and the landing craft was launched too early, starting to impact from more than 10,000 meters away, so that the Japanese army had enough time to enter the forward fortifications, when the U.S. troops just rushed ashore and had a firm foothold, they suddenly opened fire, the U.S. commander was seriously injured, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and they were pressed on the beach by dense firepower.
It was simply impossible to implement naval artillery fire support.
"Your Excellency Brigadier General, the Japanese Resistance is Stubborn" "See, let the follow-up troops bring the mortars up and send a telegram to the command to request air fire support" "Yes" A few hours later, the U.S. military finally began to advance in depth.
"Captain, what to do now if the enemy has strong firepower" "All Yalu people, move to the cave, and resist with the fortifications in the cave" "Hi" As a result, the Japanese army still stubbornly resisted with the fortifications in the cave.
"Da Da Da" "Boom" An American colonel looked at the ferocity of the Japanese firepower and the fortifications built by the Japanese army, and had to sigh that the Japanese really took these fortifications to the extreme.
"Your Excellency, Commodore General, if we attack in the normal order of attack, we will not be able to break through the fire of the Japanese" "Then you say, what to do" "Organize a demolition team to rush to the top of the hill from the dead end of the Japanese fire, and throw explosives and grenades into the Japanese cave" "Very good, you do it right away" "Yes" "Captain, the firepower of the Americans is even stronger" "Yalu ordered everyone to hold their ground, and I have asked for tactical guidance" "Hi" As a result, under the strong firepower of the US army, the firepower of the Japanese army is still strong, and both sides are confronting.
It's just that what the Japanese army didn't know was that the U.S. military organized a demolition team to climb up the mountain from their dead ends.
When the first grenade was thrown into the Japanese cave, the Japanese army's eyes widened in surprise, but it was too late to react.
"Boom" A loud explosion sounded inside the cave fortifications of the Japanese army.
"Rush" This matter, the American troops attacking from below also began to charge.
The battle for Mishima was very fierce, and in order to resolve the battle as soon as possible, Vandergravet put all the reserves into battle, and at dusk the remnants of the Japanese army retreated to the valley, and that night, the American army organized four attacks in succession, annihilating most of them.
It was not until the evening of the 8th that the remnants of the enemy were cleared and the three islands were occupied.
In the two days of fierce fighting, all but 23 Japanese soldiers were captured, and none of them surrendered, which taught the American army the spirit of bushido for the first time.
"It's terrible that 23 people were captured" "yes."
The U.S. military was a little emotional, this was the first time they had confronted Japanese soldiers head-on, and before, the navy and air force were fighting each other.
"Send a report to the command and say that we have taken the predetermined target" "Yes" "Tonight, let's toast to freedom" "Yes" The fall of Guadalcanal and Tulagi caught the Japanese by surprise.
For the first time, an emergency meeting was once again started.
Of course, this news also reached Zhou Weiguo's hands.
Zhou Weiguo smiled, is it finally the node of the Allied counteroffensive in the Battle of Guah Island However, the Japanese still haven't changed, it is still such a time, and such a force was taken by the United States These two islands.
"I didn't expect that the U.S. military would actually rise," Liu Yuan looked at the telegram and sighed, "I really didn't expect it to be like this, as long as the U.S. military gained a firm foothold on these two islands, the Japanese would be bad in the Pacific Ocean."
"Of course they have to be bad," Zhou Weiguo said helplessly, "Let them go badly, but the Pacific Ocean is too large, and this battle won't end for a while, let's watch it first."
I heard that Nanzao Yunzi has not confessed" "Well, I didn't sleep for 7 days before, so Chen Wu could only let her go temporarily."
Liu Yuan replied helplessly.
"Tsk, what a terrible woman."
Zhou Weiguo shook his head, he didn't sleep for 7 days, what kind of concept is that, a normal person is going to die suddenly, "However, I have an idea." ” "Oh" "Nanzao Yunzi is in our hands, the Japanese will either save or kill" Zhou Weiguo smiled, "No matter whether the Japanese save or kill, let's let Nanzao Yunzi see it, all of them are killed, and then, let's come forward to save her, in this way, I estimate, she should be able to open a lot of things." ” "That's right," Liu Yuan nodded, "What a strategy."
"That's it
