935 Raid on Pearl Harbor (15) Nightfall
ps: I didn’t have time to update the special situation yesterday, so I made up for it today!
One is more arrogant than the other, and I don’t know where their sense of superiority comes from. Perhaps it is just because Western civilization has developed so smoothly over the years that the entire people take it for granted that they are the darlings of heaven and earth?
Or, God really sprinkled his glory in America?
Americans really think so. Otherwise, how could they become the world's largest power after just two hundred years of founding? There must be a reason, there is no better explanation except for God's gaze.
Major General Ralph Smith didn't receive relevant warnings, but he did not intend to believe that the Chinese were very powerful and invincible, but they were just jokes, but the Eastern Japanese who were also behind the enemy ships made excuses for their failure.
In a real war, it must be that the Western powers won the victory. Even if it was after the Pacific Navy had actually suffered a crushing defeat.
The warning of the madman Holland became a joke. In anger, he threw the phone off and roared: "Damn bastard! Just go and die!"
The Chief of Staff was willing to persuade him, no matter what, everyone is a beautiful woman, so it is appropriate to remind him, after all, no one looks good if he loses, right?
After thinking about Ralph's bastard behavior, he shut up wisely, saying that no matter how much he said, the guy might not listen, and he would not feel pain if he didn't suffer any losses. Besides, the ones in front of him should have consumed a lot of ammunition and physical strength.
The enemy may encounter a powerful obstacle, and then he will cover it from behind at a critical moment, and may not be able to kill those terrible soldiers.
In addition, the Second Division was indeed seriously injured. The chariot battalion was basically disabled, the independent battalion was also disabled, and half an infantry regiment was also built, which was enough for them to clean up for a while.
The madman Horan was worried about falling into the trap of the other party and did not dare to significantly adjust the deployment of troops. He just cleaned up the chaotic formation, rescued the disabled urgently, and ensured that the inner defense was not incorrect. Then he organized the infantry of two battalions to chase them at the two ends.
Go out with paratroopers and armored motorcycles to see if you can take the opportunity to check for some cheaper ones.
I had a good idea, but unfortunately I didn't find any chance at all!
The heavy paratroopers rushed out a passage along the hill halfway up, ran wildly and touched the 27th Division's forward defense line. A storm of destruction opened the gap, rushed in about one or two kilometers, and then suddenly turned collectively.
Break through the beach to the west!
At this time, the armored motorcycle soldiers had already wandered around, and blasted the outer US troops with ammunition, and beat the 27th Division to the point of being blue and swollen. Then they met with the paratroopers.
At the same time, the helicopter hovering in the air returned to the super airship to replenish the fuel and then returned to the original airspace. Suddenly, the overall rushing to a low altitude of 100 meters and quickly advanced towards Oahu Island, clearly to take the retreat
!
Not only was the madman Holland clearly seen this scene, but Ralph, who had just suffered a small loss, also glared at him. He had just mobilized his troops and was about to surround thousands of people to kill these guys. How could he do that?
Let them run away!
Holland hesitated for a moment. He always felt that the opponent's array change speed was slightly earlier than he had judged, but no matter how he calculated, the ammunition they carried alone should have been exhausted!
Without ammunition, all the weapons in their hands became fire sticks; who can still maintain so much physical strength after running between the mountains and ridges for a few hours? What's more, these guys are covered in armored shells. They will definitely be dead and consumed.
Faster, well, it seems that he has become a tired soldier!
After thinking about it over and over again, Holland still ordered the two battalions to chase after him. Even though these two thousand soldiers were exhausted and were too tired to death, he still didn't want to give up.
"General, the observation post in front of the front report that the Chinese soldiers have gathered together. The attack distance between us and the artillery troops of the enemy 27th Division is here. Will you bomb it?"
Compared to the infantry chasing, the huge gap that is obviously not enough to catch up is that the artillery is more powerful!
Holland subconsciously wanted to approve it, but his words suddenly broke out in his mind. It seemed that a certain nerve had broken, his expression suddenly changed, and he shook his head decisively: "No! Never let the artillery be exposed! I am very suspicious,
This is the conspiracy of the Chinese! Their repeated temptations are to find our artillery positions! As long as the artillery is destroyed, they can safely and boldly carry out real landing operations!"
This must be the case!
Holland didn't believe that the other party would do meaningless actions. The previous air strike had fully demonstrated their reaction speed, and it was thanks to the fact that his artillery was running fast. Otherwise, they might have destroyed a lot.
He looked up and looked at the helicopter that had already hit the low altitude of the sea, and he became more and more convinced of his judgment. The terrible aerial hovering aircraft, as long as it was mounted with the same rocket or bomb, what kind of artillery could withstand their attacks!
Exposure is not far from death. This is a valuable experience obtained by the Japanese with blood. No matter how strict the artillery position Ksitigarbha is, the Chinese always have a way to find it out and launch a strike in the fastest time.
Thanks to them, they are unforgettable!
Gripping his teeth, he ordered again: "Tell Ralph that bastard! The Chinese are making trouble. You can continue to pursue with infantry, but never expose the artillery easily!"
The temptation is too great! The few opponents gather together and can be bombarded by dense artillery fire, causing real damage, but with their speed of action, they escape very quickly. There are too many places to hide between such complex mountains.
Relying on fragments, it is obviously not good to deal with the opponent who is protected by armor.
Holland experienced the entire battle so he knew in his heart that Ralph, who had not suffered any losses and had no serious understanding of the situation, saw the opportunity to destroy the other party, but he might not believe it!
He really guessed it. Ralph refused to believe anything he said. After mercilessly laughing for a while, he decisively ordered his artillery to open fire and bombard it according to their reconnaissance coordinates!
Smoke suddenly rose from the northern mountains and fields, and forty-eight large and small cannons roared together. The movement and formation were quite amazing, but the next second after the shells flew into the air, I was about to gather a bunch of paratroopers and armored motorcycles.
But they all stopped moving forward like frightened rabbits, swarming around and flashing into the nearby mountains and jungle bunker!
The shells fell down in a row, and fireworks exploded. Amid the rumbling explosions, one by one, the flexible figures seemed to be drowned in. Ralph was so excited that he laughed!
He didn't forget to mock Holland: "Look! It's such a stupid opponent. It's just that there are some seemingly good-looking outfits that make you afraid of being like this. It's like losing the face of the Great American soldier! I just want to do whatever I want!
Some shells killed them….”
While laughing wildly, the combat staff suddenly exclaimed: "General! A large group of Chinese fighter jets rushed over! Oh no, they discovered the artillery position!"
"What?!" Ralph was stunned. "This is impossible! Our artillery positions were carefully designed, even if they were fired continuously. It was difficult to see significant traces of smoke above! How could they find them!"
The command center he was also condescending, able to overlook the entire western defense zone. With a large-scale telescope, he saw an attack aircraft flying rapidly from the northwest corner against the sea at a low altitude!
There were more than 20 attack aircraft, which rushed forward at a speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour, as the mountain climbed up rapidly. They completely ignored the infantry running below and rushed to the hidden valley platform position of the artillery!
Ralph was shocked and slapped the table and shouted: "Damn it! Order the air defense forces to open fire immediately and shoot them all down! What are the thunders of the navy doing? They didn't even notice such a large group of planes? Are you breathing in your eyes?”
No one can answer his question, and the observation post and the observation post will be very aggrieved. They have tried their best. However, the other party's painting has a very good hidden effect, and it is difficult to find it in the distance when it is scattered, especially one by one It flies so low, and it is hard to find without the background!
Of course they didn't know that the navy's radar was all a pile of scrap iron. It would be fine if it was not activated. Once it was activated, it immediately emitted a strong radiation signal. After being captured by the early warning aircraft, it guided the anti-radiation missile to bombard it, and it died miserably!
Groups of attack aircraft do not need to rush closer to throw bombs. After setting the coordinates given by the reconnaissance aircraft, they can directly input the gliding bombs and throw them out five kilometers away. When the air defense forces light up their guns and cannons. I came out and prepared to come out and I was so cruel that these guys suddenly deviated from the course with their wings, and flashed in circles and returned to the sea!
Ralph's carelessness immediately paid a heavy price! More than 20 attack aircraft threw out at least one hundred smart bombs and heavy gliding bombs at a time. The mountains on the north west side of the Kaane Ridge were blown up in pieces. Huoyun, the unexpected artillery position, tried to estimate the cover of vertical bombing from the air, but could not resist the shells that fell down the valley or the back slope of the low mountain in front. The tricky oblique collision successfully avoided the protection above their heads. It hit the cannon position hard and exploded violently!
"Boom!" A earth-shaking loud noise shocked half of the island, and the violent tremor shocked the entire 27th Division's US troops!
Ralph watched helplessly as the artillery positions not far away fell into pieces of fireworks. In a rage, his whole face was so blood-bloated that it was about to burst into blood vessels. His eyes were about to pop out, his whole body was trembling, but he said a word. Don't come out!
He had nothing to say! Holland had already reminded him, how terrible the other party was? He didn't say anything without seeing the artillery turret. He suffered a loss and was deceived. He knew the danger, and he could not only do things randomly. !
Without him personally commanding, the artillery regiment had already begun to respond in panic. The anti-aircraft gun positions chased the tail of the attack aircraft and attacked them in a row, but none of them were shot down. The chaotic shells exploded into large clouds of smoke in the air. The scene seemed rather spectacular, but Likewise, they exposed their own locations!
The attack aircraft that had been around immediately turned back, updated its coordinates, and towards the air defense position, there were another bunch of smart bombs, avoiding the attack of anti-aircraft machine guns and small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, and the 75mm anti-aircraft guns were used to avoid the attacks of anti-aircraft machine guns and small-caliber anti-aircraft guns.
The person was given priority and hundreds of skilled bombs hit the target accurately. In an instant, the people were overwhelmed and furious!
Ralph himself had nothing to say, but Holland angrily pounded the table: "This hateful fool! You can't listen to even one warning! Without artillery, what can you do to stop the Chinese from landing and fighting!"
The crisis has just begun! Those helicopters that seemed to be pressing towards Holland immediately turned around and headed north. After the second bombing of the attack plane ended, they quickly rushed into the low-altitude beach and chased the paratroopers into various valleys.
The infantry rushing in, greeted them with fierce rockets, then used the machine cannon to strike head-on without hesitation, and a flash of fire flashed. A total of US infantrymen were immediately submerged!
Holland hurriedly ordered his two battalions: "Don't chase after you anymore! Hiddenly lurk on the spot and enter our preset bunker! Damn Chinese, I know what they want to do!"
He has confirmed that the other party has the ability to overlook the changes in the entire battlefield and convey it to each army at the first time. Even if the scattered US troops are operating under the cover of dense forests, they will be discovered. Apart from this, there is nothing else
The reason can be explained how they grasped the battlefield accurately in minutes and accurately hit bombs and shells on their own soldiers!
Terrible reconnaissance ability! Terrible reaction speed! Terrible integrated combat capability of air-ground! What kind of freak troops is this! They are really composed of poor, backward and ignorant Chinese?
Incredible!
Holland can only judge this way, because his opponent is stronger than the rumor and terrible!
He also ordered the entire division: "Unless the Chinese launch a close-range attack, do not expose their positions at will! Do not attack at will!"
After all, it is to protect yourself and defend your position as the top priority. Mountain combat has an advantage. It can hide very secretly, control the fire exchange distance within fifty meters, and use the terrain environment to cut off the number of personnel on the attacking side. According to the danger, the total
It’s better than clashing in the movement. That’s definitely not the advantage of the US military now!
In addition to warning the entire division, Holland did not forget to make his own suggestions to Lieutenant General Short, the defense command, and repeatedly emphasized the dangers.
Lieutenant General Short was relatively calm, and at the beginning of the previous bombing, he witnessed how the other party cleaned up the heavy artillery and exposed air defense units. He immediately agreed to Holland's judgment and personally warned the divisions.
Before the other party officially launches a landing battle, don't act rashly. He doesn't even dare to reinforce the 27th Division. God knows whether the other party will find hidden fortifications while moving, and attack!
At this time, the Americans deeply realized how bad their situation was after losing air supremacy. It was really atrocity to be beaten by the enemy's planes!
In less than half an hour, the 27th Division was beaten by attack aircraft and helicopters and killed at least 3,000 people, and the artillery was basically done. The air defense forces also suffered great danger, and their overall combat power was lost in an instant.
No matter how arrogant Ralph is, he can't withstand such losses. Thinking of his sneer at Holland just now, he was so embarrassed that he just wanted to dig a hole and bury himself in. He was even more angry with the Chinese and almost wanted to rush out to use it.
Kill a few pistols--Obviously this can only be a delusion.
The disaster has just begun! After more than 20 attack aircraft threw all the bombs into the target area, Shi Shiran returned to the aircraft carrier, but more than 20 jet fighters were replaced. These guys with faster speeds were unscrupulous.
They flew up and down the entire island, hoping that someone would jump out and shoot at them.
Everyone watched the paratroopers and more than 100 armored motorcycles rush into the central plain with an area of more than 30 square kilometers, hiding into dense sugarcane gardens and jungles, disappearing.
Are you hunting? Ralph and Holland were both hesitant and could not make a decision.
Lieutenant General Short made a judgment for them: "The Chinese landing point will definitely choose the area between you and make a defense as soon as possible. I dare to conclude that their next attack will definitely be very crazy!"
Both Major General Smith felt incredible: "How is it possible! On the back of us, there are mountains over three thousand feet! Their troops cannot get out even if they come up!"
The best places, of course, are Pearl Harbor front and the North Beachhead.
Lieutenant General Short groaned: "I'm afraid the Chinese people hope that we think so! In that case, we will suffer a big loss in the end! Haven't you seen it clearly yet, they don't want to lose too much personnel for the battle at all, and it's costing
Have too much time?"
The two major generals really couldn't figure it out because that was too out of the ordinary!
In a confused state, they could only keep their posts strictly, and then watched helplessly, more than a thousand paratroopers and armored motorcycles, sorting out the entire plain in groups and sieves, not only drove out all the troops lurking inside, but also
Some civilians who had not had time to retreat were driven away without hesitation, and they picked them up with helicopters without hesitation, and at least they did not shoot them directly.
They were doing this for the next half day, and the whole process was running at a speed that was so fast that it was terrifying!
It lasted until the evening, and the US military completely lost control of the beach and the plains. After the sky was completely dark, the two super supply ships quietly met with the airship. After opening the upper warehouse, huge boxes were directly
Hang it up and lift it up, transport it to the end of the plain where heavy troops defended, and drove until the end of the valley before stopping and starting to unload.
More than a dozen giant boxes were spread out on the spot and there were more than a dozen heavy engineering vehicles! These huge 100-ton behemoths cooperated with each other and flattened the ground on the spot. After compacting them directly behind them, they would
The prefabricated module is laid on the surface and three rails are then installed.
Chapter completed!
