Anti-Japanese blood sacrifice mountains and rivers

The amphibious land force of the Chinese Expeditionary Army is the elite unit of the Chinese Expeditionary Army. In addition, Song Xilian's supervision is favorable on weekdays, and he has gained rich experience in amphibious landing operations in the Guadalcanal Islands. All officers and soldiers are very clear about this. The key to victory is to act quickly and decisively. Based on this tactical thinking, its troops pay great attention to the cultivation of fighting style and the training of fighting will in daily training. It is second to none among the ground troops implementing landing operations in the theater. .cc|

During the first amphibious operation on the island in the Pacific theater, the amphibious marine troops of the Chinese Expeditionary Force showed their might. Avoiding its edge, on the other hand, the U.S. Army may have placed too much emphasis on avoiding casualties in normal training and relied too much on artillery support. When encountering Japanese resistance, they did not rush as bravely as the Chinese Expeditionary Force. They either made detours and waited patiently for artillery fire. Support, and sometimes even a single machine gun fire point of the Japanese army can prevent a battalion of US troops from advancing. These problems were undoubtedly revealed in the No. 20 Seventh Division of the US Army's infantry who landed in Saipan and cooperated with them.

Song Xilian didn't want to make small reports from the Americans, but the No. 20 Seventh Division of the U.S. Army really affected the entire combat progress of Saipan. It was able to occupy the landing field within 24 hours and defeated the Japanese army's multiple tanks to cover counter-assaults. , using naval heavy artillery and air bombing to greatly weaken the effective strength of the Japanese defensive garrison. Within 24 hours, Song Xilian boldly did not transport materials and heavy equipment, but transported all the troops. The officers and soldiers who landed relied on their own ammunition to fight. Song Xilian's purpose was to quickly suppress the Japanese army's front line, adopt heavy artillery and bombing fire blockade tactics, and advance the strategy of repeatedly clearing and suppressing the rear with the front line. .cc|

Because Song Xilian judged that after the Japanese army suffered a heavy blow, it would be impossible to organize a strong counterattack within 72 hours, so he did not worry too much about the landing speed of supplies and heavy firepower, because three days later, the six divisions All personnel and weapons and equipment will be unloaded and landed. At that time, even if the Japanese army organizes a large-scale counterattack, it will only consume its mobile forces and vital forces in vain.

However, what Song Xilian did not expect was that Yoshiji Saito, the commander of the Japanese garrison on Saipan, was almost Hideo Obata's answer. Hideo Obata ordered Yoshiji Saito to organize a counterattack immediately, but the Japanese No. The Third Division did not have time to mobilize the troops. Before that, it was right in front of it twice. About 40 people cooperated with the beachhead counterattack of the chariot troops. The flares of the Chinese Expeditionary Army fired one after another, turning the night into day, and parked at a distance of 600 meters from the coast. The direct fire from destroyers and cruisers many meters away completely shattered the Japanese attack. As a result, all 47 Type 932, Type [-], and Type [-] tanks were destroyed before the beachhead, and scattered soldiers fled into the jungle. middle.Anti-Japanese Blood Sacrifice Mountains and Rivers [-]

So far, the five infantry brigades and independent tank brigades deployed by the No.40 Third Division on the beach have been wiped out. Saito Yoshiji is powerless even if he wants to fight back, and Saito Yoshiji deployed most of the artillery in the Philippines. On Mount Nasu, with Mount Tapocho as the core of defense, the cloud explosives and detonating bombs dropped by the Americans made Saito Yoshiji's previous decisive battle preparations all in vain. Not only did more than 5000 civilians and more than 3000 soldiers die and injured , and more importantly, ammunition supplies were destroyed, making long-term persistence impossible.

The [-]-kilometer beach along the [-]-kilometer Chalanganuu area on the west coast of Saipan and the depth of [-] kilometers were all occupied by the Chinese Expeditionary Force. The Japanese army's planned counterattack position had only pieces of charred corpses. Unable to stop the attack of napalm incendiary bombs, this is what the Japanese army did not expect at first. On small islands with narrow areas, the U.S. military will use napalm incendiary bombs as the main attack weapon on a large scale. Explosives are limited, otherwise, after several regional blasts, I am afraid that more than [-] Japanese army and navy troops on Saipan Island will all die in the stubborn resistance of the cave.

Yoshiji Saito was no longer able to carry out a counterattack against the Chinese Expeditionary Force that landed in the Chalanganu area on the west coast of Saipan. As long as the Chinese Expeditionary Force did not approach Mount Finasu, the artillery positions he set up would be useless. In the defense of Banjiu, the only thing that is remarkable is the Japanese Marine Corps, which has always performed poorly. In this counterattack landing operation, they finally found a soft persimmon. This soft persimmon is commanded by Major General Ralph Smith. U.S. Army Infantry No.20 Seventh Division.

Although Chuichi Nagumo is an expert in torpedo warfare, and has ruined several good fighter planes of the Japanese Combined Fleet, but this time, the 20th Naval Garrison and the 20st Yokosuka Special Marine Corps under the headquarters of the command post targeted the No. [-] Seventh Division of the US Army Infantry who landed. During the battle, all the troops of the Fifth Naval Garrison under the command of Rear Admiral Takano and Lieutenant General Fujita Yokosuka's First Special Marine Corps went into battle at night, attacking the landing U.S. Army Infantry No. The division carried out a night assault.

Before the launch of the landing, the U.S. Pacific Fleet believed that the Japanese army would launch a counterattack against the amphibious land forces of the Chinese Expeditionary Force who landed in the Charanganu area of ​​​​the West Bank, which threatened them the most. The Seventh Division is a surprise army, say it is a surprise army, but in fact, whether it is Nimitz, the commander-in-chief of the US ground forces, Lieutenant General Holland Smith, or even Major General Ralph Smith, he knows that the Marine Corps does not trust the Army. Combat effectiveness, so they were pushed to Saipan. For the Marine Corps, the greatest contribution to combat is that the stupid army has fewer mistakes.

And Song Xilian didn't know the true combat effectiveness of the No. 20 Seventh Division of the U.S. Army Infantry, but Song Xilian really didn't dare to give it a heavy responsibility for a unit that the Americans themselves didn't trust. The difficult tasks should be left to your own troops, so the No.20 Seventh Division of the US Army was placed in a corner that no one noticed. This corner is Natado Beach in the northeast of the island.

If the troops of the Chinese Expeditionary Force were treated and distrusted in this way, they would definitely complain continuously and ask for the most difficult combat missions. However, the No. 20 Seventh Division of the U.S. Army Infantry, from the division commander Ralph Smith to the ordinary soldiers, would all agree The Chinese Expeditionary Force expressed great affection, and the Chinese are so considerate.
