The swaying moonlight reflected on the sea surface on the strong night was a little dazzling, Song Yuhang Holy Supervisor, heart Spruance and Turner's battle plan, Song Yuhang's attitude and generosity made Turner and Spruance very shocked, Spruance asked tentatively: "General Song, do you have any other requests or we will convey them on your behalf?"
Song Yuhang paused for a moment, and then put forward his own request: At the same time as the US Pacific Fleet and the Japanese Combined Fleet were officially in contact with the decisive battle, he needed a small formation to escort his 2nd Light Division and 3rd Light Armored 12th Regiment to immediately rush to Glou Beach on Saipan Island to carry out the landing.
Support the 3rd Light Armorer.
Turner and Stencrunes looked at each other, and with the strength of the Northern Fleet cluster and the 58th Task Force, it was actually no problem to send a small formation with an escort carrier.
But when doing fire support to the island.
Ships at anchor will face enormous threats from islands, air, surface and underwater.
Before the war, the navy was worried about the loss of ships, so it shortened the originally planned one-week shelling to two days and nights, which eventually led to the extremely inconspicuous effect of the shelling, and it failed to reach the destruction rate of more than 65 percent in the calculation.
Song Yuhang saw that Turner and Spruance both bowed their heads and were silent, so he said coldly: "What you are worried about is the altar and jar of the US Navy, compared to the lives of our people, if we can't take Saipan and Guam, we can't enter Iwo Jima."
If you can't take Iwo Jima, the U.S.
Navy will never reach Japan.
It's as simple as that, there is no reward without sacrifice, and the navy alone may not be able to solve Japan. ” Song Yuhang said very objectively, Spruance and Turner also knew that this Chinese general who could paralyze the president's communication line for less than half of the United States to call for a reply was not as simple and crude as the outside world described, and even what the British said was an uneducated, rude, barbaric, primitive, and unreasonable bastard, and the Americans thought that the British view was unfair and even more extreme, but they also admitted it.
They had to be careful with Song Yuhang, and many things had to take into account the personal feelings of this oriental general, otherwise the British were the best example of this.
Spruance suddenly remembered Song Yuhang's evaluation of the British during the Washington Conference and couldn't help laughing, he still remembered that Song Yuhang, who was dancing with his eyebrows at that time, said yes in front of Churchill, the so-called British Shenshi is a person who wants to eat fruit and refuses to plant trees, wants to eat eggs and does not raise chickens, and finally has to fry eggs and feed them to him.
I'm afraid that the tomb robbers of the Middle Ages were not so ruthless, this group of dignified stainless steel roosters is really a dime, if this group of monks are put in a restaurant, I am afraid they will all wait until they die of old age, and no one will pay the bill.
Spruance wanted to laugh, but he knew that the atmosphere was too unpleasant, and the Chinese soldiers on the Knight were sharpening their bayonets over and over again, and everyone's eyes were on a pound.
Direction Saipan The night of the 6th of the month of Kouyue was a deep memory for the Japanese defenders of Hanban Island, and there were rumors everywhere about the cannibalism of the Shina people on Geru Beach, and the content of the Japanese soldiers' word of mouth had been expanded countless times geometrically.
When Saimakur Yoshiji realized that it was too late, and repeatedly issued gag orders, rumors continued to circulate among the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level, and there was a tendency to intensify, Saito Yoshiji found that the expressions of the adjutants present were very strange when he planned the morning attack on Glou Beach, especially the Sasaki brigade that was in the first wave of attacks, and the captain Sasaki's face was pale, and the hand holding the katana was trembling Saito Yoshiji slammed the battle plan on Zhuozi, looked around at the adjutants attending the meeting, and roared angrily: "Do you all look like you still have a little bit of an emperor, I am ashamed and sad for your trembling appearance." ” After learning about the situation of the 43rd Division and the 80th Mixed Brigade, which was located in the headquarters of Tapocho Peak, Hidera Komi immediately realized the seriousness of the incident, and immediately instructed Yoshiji Saito to destroy the landing force of the Chinese Expeditionary Force occupying the Gellu beachhead as soon as possible at all costs.
In the early hours of the morning, Liang Chao, who was really tired, just took a nap, and was woken up by Guo Feng with an excited expression, it turned out that the high tide brought the care of the goddess of luck, and the tide washed up some of the supplies on the transport boat that was sunk at noon on the 6th onto the beach.
After accepting the surrender of the landing force of the 27th Infantry Division of the U.S.
Army, the Japanese army once sent part of its troops to try to salvage the materials that were densely floating on the sea at that time, but unfortunately the waves did not give the Japanese a chance, and these materials drifted farther and farther, and the Japanese army also stopped this senseless action after losing more than a dozen soldiers in a row, because the Japanese army found that most of the things that were fished ashore were canned fruits, lighters, and other things, probably the Japanese felt that it was not worth paying for these things, so they gave up the operation.
At that time, Liang Chao and others only sighed with admiration, obviously the lucky girl "Ding did not abandon the soldiers who occupied this place to fight for the nation-state in a foreign land, in Liang's words, God should take care of it."
The hermetically sealed, flotation bags strapped to the eastern part of Gruw's Beach followed the midnight tide, and God knows how it made its way through the reef shallows.
Like cheerful ducks, Chinese soldiers struggled to drag the boxes to the shore.
A veteran with a wounded leg feeds meat to a young soldier with bandaged eyes under the breakwater, muttering, "Eat it, it won't hurt if you eat it."
The blind young soldier weakly pushed away the veteran's hand with his hand, and wondered: "It's been two days without water and food, how can there still be meat?"
The veteran was slightly stunned, and then explained: "In our hometown, if a person is bitten by a dog and beats the dog to death, the wound will naturally heal quickly after eating the dog's meat. ” The young soldier opened his lips full of dry cracks and laboriously chewed a piece of meat that the veteran stuffed into his mouth, and after a while he swallowed it with difficulty, and then refused The veteran sighed slightly and said: "I'm afraid I won't see the sun in the future, so let's leave the meat to the brothers who can still fight."
As he spoke, he took off a very special glorious bullet from his waist and groped it into the hands of the veteran, saying, "Use this to kill a few more devils for me."
The veteran looked at the anti-tank weighted impact grenade in amazement, and the young soldier said weakly: "Grab the beach one day to blow up a dark bunker, it has been blown up twice and resurrected, the platoon commander died by my side, I threw the glorious bomb into it as soon as I was in a hurry, hey blew him up so happy, and then picked up this as a glorious bomb, it seems that I have no chance to use it." ” The veteran looked at the thick blood on the young soldier's face with the help of the flares fired by the Japanese army, and was speechless for a long time, and the young soldier touched it with his hand under him for a long time, and actually found a kettle, and there seemed to be half a pot of water in it The veteran immediately said angrily: "You kid is looking for death, do you want to die of thirst if you keep all the water?"
The young soldier said calmly: "Since my eyes were blown up for so long, I knew that the battle situation would not be, and this water was returned to Nurse Xu who ordered supplies, and they must have not drunk water for two days."
The veteran wanted to get angry, but the kettle in the young soldier's hand fell to the ground, and his head tilted to the side.
With a calm and serene face, as if asleep in the arms of a mother.
The veteran's eyes turned red instantly, and he used his trembling hand to untie the young soldier's collar, and gently untied the general's card, muttering: Little brother, I've been lying together for almost two days.
I don't know what your name is yet."
The veteran's gasping for a while attracted the wounded nearby to look around, and the veteran Wang Heping remembered the name of this very kind young soldier, and it was obvious that this year's light soldier was probably a student baby.
Only those who are literate would have such a name.
The peace and peace veterans glanced at the direction of the Japanese position, and the name was called peace, but people died in the war, a sad irony, no one knows whether there have been Chinese people who have sacrificed their lives to resist foreign humiliation with their blood and lives, and have silently sacrificed their precious lives for the freedom of the nation and the country.
The veteran tied Wang Heping's military card to the incomparably precious kettle, and he also dug out a kettle from the sand beside him, solemnly took off his military card, and also tied it to the kettle, pinning Wang Heping's anti-tank weighted magnetic grenade to his waist, he wanted to complete Wang Heping's unfinished entrustment.
The veteran's location was very close to the feeding center in a dilapidated bunker, and he was very familiar with several female nurses there, and he heard the nurses talking in a whisper, and the many supply boxes that were fished up were all ammunition and weapons, and there was not even a box of food, fresh water or medicine, which made these nurses who had great expectations so anxious that their eyes turned red, and the severe lack of water made them have no tears to shed.
The veteran dragged his injured leg and limped past the door of the supply station, and the net gently put down the two water bottles, and was caught by a big-eyed nurse, and the angry nurse immediately reprimanded: "Why can't you wounded people save people worry about the old man secretly sending the water bottle back, so we have to take turns guarding it."
The veteran rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said, "These two brothers have died, and their military cards are on them, and this water must be handed over for redistribution." ” "Really" The big-eyed nurse excitedly grabbed the two-pound small kettle, as if she was afraid that the kettle would run away because of its legs.
Then she became sad again, and she knew that it might be the water that the two wounded had saved with their own lives, and that the meaning of the water was beyond all else.
Hearing a sound outside, the head nurse Xu in the material station opened his mouth to ask, the veteran turned around and disappeared into the night, head nurse Xu looked at the back of the old soldier and wanted to call his name, but he didn't open his mouth in the middle of the night
