Germany's methods of dealing with the Soviet guerrillas were not very clever, and it could even be said to be a bit primitive. They migrated the villages in the mountains on a large scale and concentrated everyone in places where they could be supervised to guard them. Then they began to use helicopters to cooperate with armored vehicles and mountain infantry to sort out the deep mountains and forests, and fired at all the targets they saw.

This method is inefficient and time-consuming, but the German army does not have any better means to deal with these difficult guerrillas. They are not much more flexible than the German army. In addition to a few mountain divisions, there are special forces, it is difficult to find troops that can target these scattered enemies in the German sequence.

Even decades later, the United States was tortured to death by the North Vietnamese guerrillas on the battlefield. In the end, the world's most powerful country had to leave the battlefield full of mountains and jungles with its tail. Also in Afghanistan, the powerful Soviet Union was tortured by the local guerrillas, which indirectly accelerated the collapse and disintegration of the Soviet Union.

The German army is indeed not as good as the United States during the Gulf War in terms of equipment, and its current technical means do not allow the German army to use asymmetric wars to kill those difficult small groups of guerrillas. Because until the era when Akado traveled, there were still no good military means for guerrilla activities around the world, so the German army could only cross the river by feeling the stones themselves.

Fortunately, Germany has now entered the wartime system from all aspects, and the country's mobilization is relatively thorough, which allows the German army to have a wider space when enduring casualties and large-scale mobilization of troops, so it can temporarily deal with guerrilla activities that seem to be tolerated at present.

Of course, the Germans were creatively developed a set of effective tactics to wipe out guerrillas on a large scale. This tactic is very similar to the helicopter tactics used by the United States in the Vietnam War. That is, to use troops to advance and encircle and suppress, and when they stick to the guerrillas, they mobilize helicopters with strong mobility to transport more troops to assist in the war until they kill all the enemies.

This tactic helped the German army achieve good anti-guerrilla record in Poland and Ukraine. Now it is used to deal with the Caucasus guerrillas. It doesn’t seem that there is much problem. In half a month, the German army lost a total of 24 helicopters and about 300 soldiers. However, it successfully wiped out dozens of guerrillas, and the total number of enemy troops was wiped out exceeded 4,000.

At the same time, the German army sent a total of 80,000 men of various types to concentration camps far away in Ukraine and Poland. These people became the lowest class of exploitation by the labor system in the concentration camp. They had to endure the exploitation of the Germans and also to endure the oppression of the Ukrainians and Russians in the concentration camps.

Of course, the battle continued on the entire battlefield. The three fires that Marshal Manstein took office were far from over. At least the German troops who encircled and suppressed guerrillas in the occupied areas increased from 140,000 to 210,000 in half a month. The incident of guerrillas attacking German transport convoys in the same area dropped to a level that only two or three times a week due to the intensive encirclement and suppression work.

Of course, at the end of June, the traffic environment of the Caucasian German army suddenly improved. On the one hand, Marshal Manstein achieved extraordinary results in the purge of the occupied areas. On the other hand, the main reason was that the railway line between the Baku oil field and St. Rudolf was repaired, and the German army concentrated its main transportation tasks on the better-maintained coastal plain railway.

On the other hand, Americans were not very comfortable, because on the battlefield in the Pacific, large-scale Japanese suicide planes attacked US warships. This caused a certain degree of panic to the US Navy. After all, if this is a tactic that the Japanese army began to deploy on a large scale, it would undoubtedly increase the casualties of the US Navy.

Although this suicide plane's effect of attacking warships is not very good, it can make the US soldiers fall into fear. The other party drove the plane to the warship with an indomitable aura, and then the plane exploded into a ball of flame. This scene is indeed shocking and terrifying enough.

Therefore, the Americans began to intensively deploy countermeasures to deal with this suicide plane, hoping that soldiers could face this desperate attack more bravely. For a time, the entire Pacific battlefield was in panic, and the US Navy fleet was caused by these planes that were constantly dispatched to crash into American warships.

A heavy cruiser equipped with a new radar entered a state of full martial law because he discovered the patrol aircraft returning to the US aircraft carrier. All air weapons were aimed at several US military's own aircraft in the distance. If they had not received the call from these aircraft at the last moment, a farce of their own attacks on their own people would have been staged.

Such crazy actions by the Japanese army have indeed alleviated the pressure of the US offensive to a certain extent. General Nimitz, the commander-in-chief of the US Navy, was forced to give up some of the offensive plans because of this attack. He felt that he should wait for the US aircraft carriers to attack the islands occupied by the Japanese in a more secure way.

Even so, the island battle that had already begun was still going on. For example, the US Marine Corps offensive on the island where Taro Takemoto was located became more fierce due to these reasons. The second line of defense that the Japanese army defended desperately began to collapse little by little under the crazy attack of American soldiers. Due to the lack of ammunition and supplies, the Japanese army's counterattack and resistance became increasingly weak.

In the past few days, Taro Takemoto saw more and more wounded soldiers and dispersed troops reaching the port he was stationed in the blast and destroyed. Some of these soldiers were still soldiers from the Nakamura brigade who were originally stationed in the port, but when these people came back in depressed, they were no longer as heroic as they left, but as if they were in a defeated position.

"Hey, I said, Nakamura Brigade is over?" Seeing a soldier being assigned to the fox pit where he was, Taro Takemoto asked with a rifle in his arms. He wanted to know the situation on the front line, and there was no other way, so he could only ask the soldiers who had just returned from a collapse, but asking this question would often lead to a slogan back by the other party.

However, the soldier asked seemed very weak in character and did not have such a strong idea of ​​protecting his troops. He just leaned against the wall of the fox pit and replied mutely: "More than 400 people gathered together to charge at night, but less than one-tenth of them rushed into the American crowd. I was responsible for covering it. After all the bullets were fired, I received an order to retreat. I only knew that the captain and more than 400 people were, and only 28 of us came back alive."

After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Taro Takemoto could only comfort him in a voice that he couldn't hear clearly: "Uh... you fight very bravely, we have reported your achievements here. I am very happy to see you. My name is Taro Takemoto. Please take care of me in the future."

"My name is Jiro Kimura, please take care of me." The other party was very polite. It could be seen that he should be a recruit who had just joined the army. The two of them got together with each other with great destiny and quietly began to talk about the war on the island now.

It turned out that when Nakamura brigade began to launch a counterattack, the second line of defense of the Japanese army was already shaking. The US military broke through the Japanese defense line in many areas, and the entire Japanese army was on the verge of collapse. Nakamura brigade was ordered to launch a counterattack and took the US Marines back from the defense line at the cost of a total of 700 people.

However, these tired Japanese soldiers really had no ability to expand their results, so the front line once again became stalemate, and some trenches were still in the hands of the Americans, but the Americans did not know how many reserves the Japanese defenders had, and did not dare to launch a rash attack.

"Soldiers in 3! The soldiers from 3 squadron gathered!" An officer in the distance shouted loudly. He was unlucky to draw the lottery and could only take his own troops to the front line to continue fighting with the Americans. Some soldiers stood up sparsely, and no one came back to cover up at this time, and even reported deserters who could not stand up. After all, everyone hoped that others would go to the front line and stay in a safer place.

Dozens of soldiers, carrying their own Type 38 rifles, stood up and stood in a row listlessly. Just like a routine, they began to ask for bullets from the soldiers around them. After all, at such a time when there is no effective supply, the ammunition needs to be arranged by themselves.

"No more! Really no more! I only have these bullets in my rifle!" A soldier waved his hand to his comrades who were sitting together just now. The defeated soldiers who retreated to the port had been scrapped several times, and there was really not much ammunition left. After all, everyone still gave it to me a few times, but later I saw that the troops were being drawn back to the front line more and more frequently, and everyone was unwilling to contribute their bullets.

After all, no one promised that he would not be pulled back to the front line in the next second, so everyone tried hard to keep their ammunition just in case. Takemoto Taro himself also kept about 20 bullets, which he had collected from the bodies of some engineers. It turned out that he had more than 50 rounds in total. After being plundered several times, he was unwilling to hand over any bullets.

"I just came back from the front line... I had no bullets on my body." The soldier named Kimura turned out his pocket to see the other party asking for bullets: "If we still have bullets, we won't let us come back..."

The other party's expression seemed a little unnatural. After twisting for a long time, he nodded to end the conversation and turned around and walked towards another foxglove.
