Chapter 260 Blood Fire Hawaii
With the help of the responders, the US Army rested apart 6-pound cannon from the ship, then reassembled it, and advanced towards the Japanese barricade under the guidance of limited horses. The others took advantage of the night to enter the preset starting position under the guidance of the commander. When everything was ready, with three dazzling red signal flares rising into the sky, the roar of the 6-inch cannon of the Luz auxiliary cruiser set off the attack!
Although it is an old-fashioned annealing cannon, it is still enough to deal with Japanese expatriates who are not even considered quasi-armed organizations. The roar of heavy artillery pierced the quiet night sky. Countless dark red lights rose on the coast. More than 90% of the Japanese did not expect that they would be bombarded by heavy artillery! When the fireball that predicted destruction fell from the sky, the Japanese will to resist had collapsed!
Accompanied by deafening explosions, the high-explosion pico acid bomb exploded on the Japanese wooden houses. The extremely combustible charge instantly swallowed up a large area of houses. Before the Americans launched an attack, the Japanese were already in chaos!
When the American infantry rushed to the Japanese barricade with bayonets under the cover of machine guns and 6-pound rapid-fire cannons, the end of the war was actually decided, and this was a massacre! The Americans used bullets and bayonets to deal with the Japanese who had just survived the sudden artillery fire. Many people had just struggled out of the surrounding ruins and flames, and were killed by the oncoming bullets.
The Americans in Hilo were also helping the army clear these enemies. They directly cooperated with the US Army to surround the entire Japanese-American gathering area and then directly acquired them from the outside to the inside! In just one night, Hilo's Japanese-Americans became a historical term. During this massacre, Hilo's Japanese-American death rate was more than 40%, and another 30% were injured to varying degrees. A large number of people failed to survive the torture of injuries. The remaining less than 1 and a half of the Japanese were also locked up in concentration camps by the Americans!
On the same night, similar things happened on other major islands in the Hawaiian Islands. The Americans used blood and fire to answer the world's doubts about their power, of course, considering the backward communications of this era and the deliberate blockade of the Americans. This incident only reached Tokyo, Japan a week later. At this time, the Americans had transported more than 8,000 other troops, their equipment and a large amount of supplies to Hawaii!
"Although our navy has been severely damaged, the United States will not allow the Republic of Hawaii to fall into the hands of the Japanese! It is absolutely not allowed. If the Japanese want to come, then we will fight on land! 50,000 soldiers of the United States of America will teach the hateful Japanese how to fight land!" The gunpowder-smelling oath issued by the US president shocked the whole world!
On the same day, Germany and Russia also expressed their support for the US action. They believed that the subversive activities carried out by Japanese immigrants had broken through the bottom line of the Hawaiian government. The US military was invited to go to Hawaii to calm the rebellion was a just move. As for the massacre of civilians and some inhuman things, they were directly exposed. They also expressed that they hope that both sides could maintain restraint and not allow the war to further expand.
