As a soldier, Song Yuhang understands very well that everything he hopes for is just "wishing, as a soldier, he was born in this troubled era." has to bear the disaster of the nation and the country, even if it is a corpse worker x a sea of blood, he must move forward.
No matter who reads the landing plan drawn up by Song Yuhang, they can only have a feeling.
That is, the formulator of this plan was completely insane, and the reason was simple, Song Yuhang first planned to scrape the shelling and bombing for ten days.
The battleship formation needed to get close to Iwo Jima and get the X blade out of the meter, use the main gun for direct fire, and use a large number of special incendiary bombs.
According to Song Yuhang's estimation, after many teachings, I am afraid that the Japanese troops on Iwo Jima have already taken a certain degree of protective measures against the special incendiary bombs, so he did not have much hope for the special incendiary bombs.
Then, a heavy bombardment of the beachhead on the Iwo Jima embankment was carried out using the British-commissioned US-made bigboard concrete sabotage bombs.
Destroy all the fortifications hidden in front of the Japanese army, and then use five Mary-class armored armed tank landing ships of 5,500 tons to rush the beach, using the armored armed tank landing ship as a fixed turret, on the one hand, to support and cover the landing force, on the other hand, to attract the Japanese long-range firepower from the Oribo Mountain, and more importantly, the old Sherman tank and the Zhao light tank in the cabin of the five tank landing ships, as well as the three catties of wading and seizing the beach, with the support of the Sherman tank battalion.
With the strength of about a tank reinforced regiment, the remaining Japanese fortifications on the beachhead were swept away, and then the two battalions of the Marine Brigade and the support of the small four-pound battalions of amphibious armored vehicles of the 2nd and 3rd Mechanized Corps began to seize the beach.
At the same time, all the surface ships and bomber formations launched and dropped smoke bombs totaling tons at the beachhead, Mt.
Oriba, and Wonsan.
At the right time when the wind direction and speed are similar.
The smoke from these smoke bombs will permeate Iwo Jima for 46 hours, and the smoke on the beachhead will disperse 23 hours earlier than at places such as Oriba Mountain and Wonsan.
Taking advantage of this precious time gap, the Chinese Expeditionary Force will organize the transportation of the main force and the main equipment.
Of course, Song Yuhang also took into account the threat posed by the Japanese army's firepower scale coverage, and it was much better to have smoke cover than to act as a target on his own side.
At that time, both sides will have a big battle in the fog, and the external contact with the brimstone has been completely cut off, the Japanese artillery shells can only be fired one shot or one less, the Chinese expeditionary force can use multiple batches and small numbers of landings to avoid being killed and injured by the concentrated firepower of the Japanese army, once the troops arrive at the foot of the Oribo Mountain, then the battle situation is no longer allowed to be controlled by the Japanese.
In the eyes of the US generals, this plan can be described as magnificent, especially the two chiefs of staff from the Marine Division, Geman and Chiley, who served as observers of the landing operations, were even more amazed by this plan Let's not talk about the concept of five Mary-class armored tank landing ships, those large-scale shelling, bombing, as many as five special incendiary bombs and tall cabinet concrete destruction bombs, the largest strategic bombing group and fire support formation in history, the consumption can be described as unprecedented, but for Song Yuhang, it is not his own home that is defeated, I am afraid that Uncle X, an old artist, has made war money for so many years, and he wastes some righteousness for him, after all, the Chinese pay for blood and life, And the Americans pay for money.
The largest landing fleet in the history of the Allied Pacific Theater is heading to Iwo Jima.
The Intelligence Department of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, which was operating with the landing force, brought a new situation from the European battlefield to Song Yuhang.
For Suna, who came to Jing Intelligence in person.
Song Yuhang hugged a warm smile, and after opening the document, Song Yuhang was stunned "Russian People's Liberation Army" Song Yuhang looked at Suna in confusion, there is no so-called Russian Liberation Army in his memory, could it be an accidental product caused by the butterfly effect of history Suna looked at Song Yuhang with a solemn face and smiled slightly, she didn't understand why Song Yuhang cared so much about the Soviet-German battlefield in Europe Unless the Soviet Union perished, it would not have any impact on China at all, under the influence of Song Yuhang, Suna gradually turned into an extreme nationalist.
She believes that if the Soviet Union falls, it can only be beneficial and harmless to China if it is handled properly, at least China can then take advantage of the situation to recover the territory of the Far East of China that has been annexed by Russia for nearly a hundred years, Suna is not a politician, just an intelligence officer, and Suna does not think that the seemingly strong Germany can swallow the behemoth of the Red Soviet Union.
Suna opened the intelligence folder in her hand and read aloud: "The Russian Liberation Army is composed of former Soviet military personnel from Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Chechnya and other countries or people who hate the Red regime and are dissatisfied with Stalin's purges and other policies. ” To Hitler's frustration, Van Xuanri occupied most of Europe.
The minerals and strategic materials needed for the war were imported from Norway, Chile, and Denmark into the German and Czechoslovak military factories, and a large number of weapons and equipment were produced, but the German army lacked the personnel to use them effectively.
At the suggestion of Lieutenant General von Heath, the senior strategic staff officer of the General Staff, Hitler finally secretly formed the Russian Liberation Army of ten infantry divisions in the North Caucasus at the end of the year, but these units have not been trusted by the Pharin side, so they have not yet played any role.
But at the beginning of March of the X year, the German army began to carry out a large-scale expansion of the equipment of the Russian Liberation Army, fifty infantry divisions, nine Cossack cavalry divisions, four artillery divisions, five light armored divisions and part of the army aviation units.
Suna gently closed the folder and put it on Song Yuhang's desk, she knew that what Song Yuhang, who was lighting a cigarette, needed most was space for contemplation.
Song Yuhang smiled awkwardly at this Suna's understanding, and after taking a deep puff of cigarette, Song Yuhang opened the text, in the history of his memory, the Russian Liberation Army was just a force that did not play any strategic role at all, although the Russian puppet army, which was not trusted by the Germans, had strong combat effectiveness, but it was unable to play a role due to the lack of weapons and equipment and continuous logistics support, because the German army at that time was not well supplied.
Where else can there be a large amount of weaponry for this untrusted Russian unit But the current situation is that because the German army has sufficient material support, it is capable of large-scale equipment of the Russian Liberation Army.
Moreover, the Germans were so generous with the armament of the Russian People's Liberation Army that Song Yuhang was shocked, and the United States provided less than 40 divisions of weapons and equipment to China in the two years since the Lend-Lease Act was passed.
Moreover, most of the divisions, regiments, and battalions have not yet arrived at artillery, tanks, and armored vehicles, and Germany has armed the so-called Russian People's Liberation Army with as many as 70 divisions and nearly one million troops in a short period of time, which is really a bit appalling, and if these Russian Liberation Army really have strong combat effectiveness, then this army that is enough to constitute a strategic force can even change the balance of forces between the two sides on the Soviet-German battlefield.
Song Yuhang answered Marshall's phone.
After talking about him left and right, Song Yuhang complained about Germany's generosity and America's stinginess Marshall, who put down the phone, reacted after a while inexplicably, it turned out that the supreme commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, who had been suspended for a few days, was dissatisfied with the large amount of equipment provided by Germany to the Russian People's Liberation Army, and Marshall shook his head helplessly, a heavy division and fourteen light divisions organized by the five mechanized corps under the Chinese Expeditionary Force, as well as as a technical unit such as a near-millimeter howitzer battalion, and recently added a new army aviation gunboat and aircraft brigade, The fighter unit of the six brigades, which are composed entirely of Chinese pilots, which are currently under the Mississippi River, will also be preparing to hand over command to the Chinese Expeditionary Force in the near future, and there will also be a brigade of marines and two large destroyers of the latest model of Type 21 and several landing craft of the Habitat Armored Transport Regiment under the formation of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
Marshall didn't understand that in addition to the numerical superiority of the Russian People's Liberation Army armed by Germany, which point could be compared with the Chinese Expeditionary Force armed by the United States, in terms of the number and density of projection of firepower and the number of artillery fire, tanks and armored vehicles, the Russian People's Liberation Army was not at all the opponent of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, even so, Marshall still fed back Song Yuhang's dissatisfaction to Roosevelt, who was recuperating, obviously Song Yuhang was for the request that he had asked several times but still not met, The armament of a heavy division.
This was the beginning of the Battle of Iwo Jima, and Marshall was really helpless to Song Yuhang, a guy who was good at seizing the opportunity to make demands.
Song Yuhang's concern about the Russian PLA and the general contempt of European countries for the Russian PLA are also for their own reasons, but looking at the puppet armies in various countries around the world, it is also an indisputable fact that their fighting is low, so few people regard the Russian PLA as a strategic force that can change the balance of forces on the battlefield.
Soon, Song Yuhang received a report from Turner that he had planned to prepare for 10 days of artillery fire on Iwo Jima, because the warships could not carry the ammunition for the 10-day shelling, so they could only carry out shelling for three days, but Turner said that three days of shelling of a small island with an area of only 20 square kilometers was enough, and the defense that the artillery could not destroy would be completed by the landing force.
After all, this is not an outing, but a battle.
For the same encounter as in history.
Song Yuhang was a little annoyed, and the three-day artillery bombardment was not enough for the Japanese army's dense firepower on Oribo Mountain, and in desperation, Song Yuhang could only hope that the weather on Iwo Jima would improve on the day of the shelling.
Make the shelling a little more accurate. ； In the early morning of the old day, Brandy's fire support formation arrived in the waters of Iwo Jima and began to carry out advance fire preparations, and all the battleships and cruisers were divided into lots, destroying the identified targets one by one, and in order to ensure the accuracy of the shelling, several battleships even carried out direct aiming and firing at the targets only a few meters from the shore.
However, due to the bad weather and the smoke of gunpowder on the island, only one of the predetermined targets was destroyed, and the artillery bombardment effect was very unsatisfactory, and the Japanese counterattacked only with some trail artillery, damaging one battleship and one cruiser.
For the old days of shelling that lasted from early morning to late evening.
Song Yuhang was very dissatisfied, and the explosion flashes that rose from time to time in the gunsmoke-filled Folding Bowl Mountain dazzled.
The battleship's main guns shot long flames into the sky, all kinds of medium guns and 10,000 mm machine guns were fired, and the X 4 mm rocket launchers fixed on the deck of the transport ship also began to shell the beachhead of Iwo Jima.
On the day of February, the underwater demolition brigade under the US Marine Corps probed the channel of the beach reef under the cover of the X landing gunboat, and cleared the underwater mines and obstacles.

At this time, no matter what Song Yuhang said before, the US generals who thought that the three days of artillery bombardment had been very sufficient, and it turned out that the Japanese troops on the island still had such fierce firepower, so the US battleships immediately bombarded the targets exposed by these nets.
In the three days from the old days to the last day, in addition to the naval artillery firepower, the carrier-based planes escorting the aircraft carriers also made all-out sorties, some carried out air cover, some carried out antisubmarine alert, and some observed and corrected the bombs, and the Yuwa 2-key bombers that took off from Saipan Island threw a large number of special incendiary bombs aimed at the Japanese positions, burning the camouflage of the Japanese positions.
Make it exposed so that it can be eliminated by naval artillery.
During these three days, Iwo Jima was almost completely overwhelmed by the smoke of American fire, and the Japanese troops were only cowering in the tunnels and unable to move.
According to statistics, the US troops consumed more than 4 tons of artillery shells and bombs before landing, and the average square kilometer of Iwo Jima endured x wild stew, but the Japanese army still suffered slight losses by virtue of its strong underground fortifications, and except for some troubles and casualties caused to the Japanese army by special incendiary bombs and concrete destruction bombs with ribs, the overall shelling did not achieve corresponding results.
Song Yuhang clearly knew that if he could not effectively understand the firepower of the Japanese army, then the Chinese expeditionary force would repeat the mistakes of the American army in history and win this battle at the cost of huge casualties, and all this was the last thing Song Yuhang wanted to see.
In the early morning of February of the year, Song Yuhang stood on the deck, and the distant view net was bombarded by heavy bombs, and the five armored tank landing ships had begun to break away from the formation and form a group, and yesterday the members of the underwater demolition brigade of the US Marine Corps used their lives to mark a safe designated route for the ships of the Chinese expeditionary force's beach-grabbing force, and in order to show their reverence for these heroic underwater demolition crews, all the landing ships lowered their flags at half-mast and sounded their horns in salute.
The two ships were named "Nanjing" and "Honor" respectively.
The Type 21 destroyer was loitering 5,000 meters above Iwo Jima, and the marines of the two battalions on board had already begun to jump over the side of the ship to board the landing craft or perched armored vehicles.
In the face of the five armored armed tank landing ships that broke away from the formation, Texian frowned in heartache, these special modifications added multiple layers of shelved armor plates, as well as the addition of a number of X-wound mm and X-Su mm howitzers with a half-open turret mechanism, these so-called modifications turned out to be for beaching, as a naval general, Turner understood that no matter what kind of warship, beaching would cause irreparable losses to its keel and the main body of the ship, and it would also have to face intensive Japanese artillery fire.
It is estimated that after the war, these five new large land ships will probably only become a pile of scrap metal.
The Japanese army was obviously a little confused about the five large tank landing ships that rushed to the beach, because these Japanese officers and soldiers were repeatedly told that they would do their best to destroy the enemy's first wave of Chinese infantry who rushed to the beach to open the breakthrough, and prevented the enemy's tanks and other heavy weapons from landing, and the Japanese soldiers in the beachhead fortifications suffered a lot in the past three days of bombing and shelling, and most of the beachhead fortifications were destroyed by artillery and aerial bombs, but some of them survived, and these surviving Japanese troops were quietly opening the closed doors of the fortifications, The sand and gravel that were blocked there were cleared in preparation for a particularly powerful incendiary bomb used by the squadron.
With the beaching of the tank landing ship, three battalions.
Sherman tanks also began to land one after another.
A company of sappers from several landing gunboats mixed in the tank quickly dispersed in squads and began blasting operations on the wave-proof embankment, apparently trying to open a relatively flat passage for the tanks.
Almost all the firing ports of the Japanese army on the Oribo Mountain were now open, and all the weapons were being adjusted one after another, and they were waiting for the figure of the Chinese landing force, but all they saw was the tanks constantly fighting together to seize the beach.
The Sherman tanks began to form a breakthrough through the breach blasted by the sappers in an attempt to break through in depth Standing on the top of the mountain overlooking the entire beachhead, the millet forest suddenly had a very bad premonition:
