"Asami-kun..." The sergeant gritted his teeth helplessly and pulled out the command knife on his waist. Lewen Novel | According to his identity, there are actually not many people who can match the command knife, but his family has been warriors for generations, and this command knife is also a ancestral object, so he wore it on the battlefield.

When he wore this sword, his strong grandfather hoped that he could make more contributions with this sword. Who knew that the sword was unsheathed for the first time and actually cut off his friendly forces.

He held the hilt of the samurai sword in both hands, hesitating whether to cut the wounded soldier named Asami. With anger, tears had already flowed out of his eyes, but those trembling hands could not wave the sword to his comrades: "Asami, we have been neighbors for twenty-seven years, I..."

Before he could finish his words, the Japanese soldier named Asami had died of excessive bleeding. He still had a twisted expression on his face, but he relaxed a little because he lost consciousness.

"Sakami! Sumi! Baga! Baga! Baga! Damn Americans, I will tear you all over!" The sergeant waved the saber in his hand and shouted loudly in front of the sea that could not be seen.

However, what answered his annoyed and angry roar was another round of dense shelling. The ammunition fell on the beach and raised a piece of sea water and mud. There was no weapon to fight back on the entire Midway Island. The dozens of field artillery deployed by the Army, compared with the caliber of the Navy's shells, was simply no different from a toothpick.

In the face of the overwhelming firepower advantage of the US Navy, the brave and persistent Japanese soldiers rely solely on fighting seemed futile. Thousands of Japanese soldiers were trapped on the beach and were tortured by the shells shot from the US Navy. However, due to tactical requirements, they had to stay here and wait for the arrival of the US military's attack.

Japan's planes on Midway Island counterattacked the US fleet, and an attack formation composed of 50 bombers carried out assault on the US fleet. However, because of the corresponding experience in attacking the sea, the assault returned in vain. The only difference was that there were 32 fewer return aircraft.

"If we continue to fight like this, we will be occupied by the Americans at most three days. After three days, this place will be occupied by the Americans." A division staff officer complained to Anden: "The trenches and fortifications are not effective in resisting large-caliber naval guns. Although our army is very motivated, the enemy does not land... If we continue to fight like this, I am worried that the soldiers will not have the opportunity to be loyal to the emperor."

In the hidden trenches, Anden looked at the entire island map of Midway Island. He knew that this was not a solution, but he could not think of any effective countermeasures for a while. He asked him to give up the beach and retreat the troops back to the inside line, but he didn't have the courage - who dared to lose the first line of defense so confused?

Tador Kuribayashi was a tactical attempt that he had to defend Iwo Jima. At least in 1939, the standard mode of resisting landing operations was still to protect the beach. The correctness was not something a small division-level commander dared to easily question. Moreover, Andan was originally a well-behaved general, so it was easier for him to perform on the spot to commit suicide by separating himself.

So Anden was a little unintentional now. Apart from sending telegrams over and over again to urge the Japanese Navy to quickly reinforce, there was no further measures. Fortunately, the US Navy did not ask him to wait too long. On the morning of the second Midway Battle, the US Navy, after shelling all night, released its own landing force.

The U.S. Army Commander, who was standing on the aircraft carrier bridge, looked at General Spruins beside him, pointed to the U.S. Marines who were waiting for the assault boat landing craft, and said, "General, if you release the landing troop so urgently, there will be great casualties. Why not shell out one to two days?"

"I'm still not very relieved of the original attack plan. After all, Iroku Yamamoto is still very cunning and suspicious. If he suddenly goes north to find trouble for us, it will cause us to lose the entire fleet." Spruins replied to the generals around him: "So I asked General Nimitz last night, and he also felt that he should fight and take down Midway Island quickly."

Midway is also a crucial link for the United States. If Midway is taken, the US Navy will form a "momentum" in its strategic counterattack. To put it simply, it will be a strategic counterattack, which will be an inspiring role for the entire US foreign war.

Moreover, once Midway returns to the hands of the United States, the US Navy will gain greater maneuvering space, and the Japanese Navy will lose their strategic activity ability and be fixed between the Marshall Islands and Wake Island. At that time, if the US Navy wants a strategic decisive battle, it will become a very convenient thing.

Therefore, for both the United States and the Japanese Navy, Midway is a crucial strategic location and must be controlled in their own hands. Japan's advantage is that Midway is already in its own hands, while the U.S. Navy's advantage is that Yamamoto Iroku's joint fleet is not near Midway.

"Occurrence! This is what we must do now." Spruins looked at the navy's landing craft spreading densely on the sea, and said with his hands behind his back: "General Nimitz said that this is a war, and countless people must sacrifice for the country to win the final victory. We are Americans, the strongest Americans in the world, and no one can defeat us. The Germans cannot do it, and the Japanese cannot do it!"

The Japanese defenders on the beach finally saw hope, because the US Navy's landing forces began to unfold on the sea, which meant that the seemingly endless shelling was about to end, and the real equal battle was about to begin. So many Japanese soldiers began to pull out their gun bolts, staring at the landing craft on the sea that swayed with the waves.

"Lingling!" Amid the sparse sound of artillery fire, the phone rang in General Andean's command. He grabbed the receiver and heard the first good news since the battle began: "Genius, our main position in Midway is right in front of our army, and the US Navy is landing. Our judgment on the direction of the enemy's landing is accurate. In a few minutes, I will issue a counterattack order."

"Very good! Follow the pre-plan! Driving these Americans who are greedy and afraid of death into the sea! Long live the Emperor!" An Teng said murderously. In the past day and night, he was under too much pressure. At this time, he could finally vent.

Although most of the defensive positions were severely damaged by US artillery shells, the Japanese troops stationed inside still stood firmly in the ruins. They also had many hidden bunkers and scattered fortifications on the beach. The Japanese soldiers determined to fight to the death suppressed their anger and waited for the moment when the Americans rushed to the beach.

However, the US Navy obviously accumulated rich landing combat experience when landing on Kauai Island. Within a few minutes before landing, they poured a large amount of ammunition on the beach and released a large number of smoke bombs. The Japanese defenders' vision was seriously blocked, and the wide sea surface in front of them even disappeared. The entire beach was filled with thick smoke, as if a sandstorm was rolled up.

With the surging sea water, the first American landing craft approached the beach. With the sound of metal friction, the huge front pedal was slowly lowered. American soldiers who had been waiting inside began to gush out of the landing craft, and then quickly spread to both sides in the sea water that was beyond their knees.

"Tutu!Tutu!" A Japanese machine gun position closer to the beach opened fire. They could not see anything in front of them, but the sound proved that the US Marines had rushed to the beach. The radical Japanese soldiers decided to take the lead in attacking the US soldiers despite the danger of exposing themselves.

The bullet blindly swept through the smoke and hit the sea water around the US landing craft, splashing a splash. An unlucky American soldier was hit by the bullet and screamed. His blood quickly dyed the surrounding sea water red. Before he could call the medical staff, he could no longer breathe.

The second landing craft rushed to the beach, and the American soldiers inside quickly dispersed. The Japanese defenders obviously realized that the situation seemed to be not good for them, so they began to organize intensive fire attacks. Some rifles and machine guns on the front line positions were fired blindly, and increasingly dense attacks fell on the heads of the US Marines.

"Fire! Fight back! Move quickly! Occupy favorable terrain! Quick!" A frontline commander who accompanied the soldiers landed loudly, and more landing craft rushed to the beach. Hundreds of American soldiers launched attacks on the Japanese positions in thick smoke and rain of bullets. There were shouts of soldiers being shot everywhere, and a large number of casualties began to appear on the entire beach.

Over the barbed wire that was destroyed by artillery shells, the American soldiers jumped into a huge sand pit. This was a huge crater formed by the explosion of a 300mm caliber shell. There were already more than a dozen US troops who arrived here first.

An American soldier was calling for the navy's artillery support with a walkie-talkie. Several American soldiers were rushing to set up a heavy machine gun at the edge of the crater. More American soldiers were frantically fighting back with their own Garland rifles. They didn't aim at it at all, but just lit a bullet in the blurry distance, and then retracted the crater and reloaded the bullets for their rifles.

On the second day after the Second Midway Battle started, both sides encountered difficulties on the beach. The Japanese were more tenacious than the Americans imagined, while the Americans were stronger than the Japanese imagined.

So, at this moment, blood flowed into a river on the beach.
