blood feud

Americans are also good at summarizing.

I suffered too much in Tinian and Saipan, and disabled two marine divisions, and the direct force losses of both divisions exceeded 40.00%.

Therefore, the artillery preparation for Guam is not an hour, nor a day, but fifteen days of artillery preparation in one breath!

美军对关岛大力加强了炮火准备，从8月6日开始，进行了持续十五天的猛烈炮击，发射406mm炮弹和356mm炮弹6258发、203mm炮弹3862发、152mm炮弹2430发、127mm炮弹16214发。

On August 8st, the sky was clear and the sea was calm, which was a good weather for fighting.

Beginning in the early morning, the U.S. military provided direct fire support with 6 battleships, 3 escort aircraft carriers, 8 cruisers, and 32 destroyers.

The 77rd Marine Division landed on Asan Beach in the north of the Orote Peninsula, and the [-]st Marine Brigade and [-]th Division landed on Agat Beach in the south of the Orote Peninsula.

Asan beach, the three regiments of the third marine division launched at the same time, and assaulted side by side on the 1800-meter-wide beach.The initial landing went smoothly, with negligible Japanese resistance.

However, because there are many coral reefs on the coast, only crawler landing vehicles can land, so the crawler landing vehicles are all used to pick up and transport troops back and forth, and the forward speed is about the same as that of snails.

Finally, around noon, all the troops, vehicles, and artillery of the division landed on land. Then they found that the terrain of the landing beach was extremely unfavorable. There was a high ground in front, the sea behind, and steep cliffs on both sides.

That's really: look at the strange rocks, and then look at the bad luck.

The artillery deployed by the Japanese army on the top of the mountain and on the reverse slope on three sides covered the entire landing beachhead condescendingly. More than [-] American troops were crowded in the narrow landing beachhead. Now all of them have become live targets. Every shell fired by the Japanese army will cause tragic casualties to the American army. .

The terrain that the 460rd Marine Regiment was going to attack was the most dangerous, facing the triple [-]mm fortress guns of a fortress, so it suffered the most casualties and made the least progress.

In fact, there was no progress at all. After less than 300 meters from the beach, the army was close to being wiped out.

Because the regimental commander, chief of staff, battalion commander, and company commander were all blown to pieces, the troops released ducks at that time and became the targets of Japanese machine guns.

It took only half a day for the landing operation, and the 40rd Marine Division of the American Devils had already lost [-]% of its strength and completely collapsed.

On August 8, after two days and two nights of bloody fighting and more than 23 casualties, the 77st Marine Brigade and the [-]th Division of the southern U.S. Army finally established a beachhead.

In the next two days, the US landing force began to desperately hoard supplies and set up temporary field hospitals to treat thousands of wounded.

On the evening of August 8, the Japanese army, which had been silent for a whole day, suddenly launched a violent night attack on the deep defense line of the US army to the north, directly hitting the American devils behind.

This is a surprise attack prepared by the little Japanese devils after many days.

First, concentrated artillery bombardment, and then a small group of troops penetrated and assaulted, launching a feint attack from four directions.

The U.S. military was caught off guard and could only fight in all directions. After repelling the Japanese army's many feigned attacks, the U.S. devils discovered that the enemy's attacks were all harassing.

Just when the American devils thought that tonight was a harassing attack, the main force of the Japanese army seemed to be stabbing into their chest with a sharp sword, and they were powerless to organize a counterattack.

Because the little Japanese devil's trump card came out, and that was the sudden pig attack.

Wave after wave of squadron-scale attacks from three directions completely destroyed the nerves of American soldiers, and finally broke through the American defense line from the gap between the third and ninth regiments of the U.S. Marine Corps in the north.

The little devil's three-way column then drove straight in, directly into the field hospital of the 3000rd Marine Division of the US Army. More than [-] U.S. military nurses, military doctors, and wounded were killed, and the field hospital was burned to the ground!

This was a wonderful battle in which the tactics of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army were fully displayed, and even performed at a super level.

For example, the little devil did not implement the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army's "hand in the gun and not kill" and "preferential treatment of prisoners".Afterwards, Bai Shujie learned about the battle and thought it was worth giving the little devil a thumbs up.

On August 1944, 8, the U.S. military finally captured Sumai, and the troops from the north and the south joined forces at Tengjue Mountain.

On the same day, Lieutenant General Gao Pinbiao, the commander of the 29th Division, the supreme commander of the Japanese Army in Guam, was shot and killed in person because he ran out of ammunition. Lieutenant General Hideyoshi Obata took over the command.

Lieutenant General Hideyoshi Obata knew very well that the U.S. troops had a greater advantage in firepower. In order to carry out persistent resistance, he left only two brigades to cover the narrowest waist of Guam. fighting.

The battle lasted until August 8, when the First Marine Brigade captured the Orote Peninsula. The U.S. Army annihilated more than 29 Japanese soldiers, and at the cost of more than 4000 deaths, finally controlled half of Guam.

After a brief rest on the battlefield, the US military launched an attack on August 1944, 8.

With the fire support of naval guns and the active retreat of the Japanese army, the U.S. military progressed smoothly.At about eleven o'clock, the [-]rd Marine Regiment occupied Agra, the capital of Guam.

On September 9, the 3th Division captured the village of Barrigada, and the U.S. military finally found two wells. Fortunately, this time they finally solved the problem of lack of fresh water, and the hungry and thirsty American devils swarmed up.

Unexpectedly, before the little devils retreated, they had already poisoned the well, and it was potassium cyanide. As a result, all the American devils in a battalion were poisoned and died.

The well water is not drinkable, so the more than 3 U.S. troops who landed on the island must transport fresh water by warships from more than 2000 kilometers away.

On September 9, the landing commander, Geiger, ordered the U.S. forces to speed up their advance and strive to occupy Santa Rosa Mountain, the watershed in the center of Guam, before the Japanese army established the final line of defense.

Only by occupying the watershed can the springs in the mountains be used to completely solve the problem of drinking water for the troops and at the same time control the tactical commanding heights.

Otherwise, if the little Japanese devils launch another counterattack, all previous efforts will definitely be wasted, and more than 2 people before will die in vain.

On September 9, Lieutenant General Obata Hideyoshi, who had run out of ammunition and food, sent a final farewell telegram to the Tokyo base camp, then burned the military flag, and personally led the flag guard team to launch a final charge against the U.S. troops down the mountain.

The problem of the little devil has once again been highlighted, that is, the high-level commanders are all idiots.

There are still more than 1 troops under his command, but he gave up because his headquarters was in danger of being surrounded.

After Lieutenant General Obata Hideyoshi sent the telegram, he ignored his own troops and launched a suicide attack in despair, dedicating his allegiance to His Majesty the "glorious, great, but incorrect" Emperor.

On the contrary, the middle and lower-level officers of the little devils have strong executive power and the endurance of never giving up, thus maintaining the combat effectiveness of the Japanese little devils army.

Geiger was as rejoicing as MacArthur.

The U.S. military had reached the northernmost tip of Guam. For personal glory, he couldn't wait to announce to the public that the organized resistance of the Japanese army in Guam had been wiped out.

As everyone knows, the fact that the Japanese army did not appear on the ground does not mean that they have been completely wiped out.The surface positions in Guam fell, and more than 1 Japanese devils all went underground.

The consequences of Geiger's electrification not only misled the people outside, but also misled the attacking troops below, resulting in a paralyzed mood.

Coupled with the continuous bloody battles, everyone is exhausted, so the troops participating in the battle are negligent.

That night, Geiger's resident was devastated by more than 1 Japanese devils.Most of a guard regiment died in battle, and Geiger escaped with only nine people hiding in a crevice of rocks.

All the weapons and ammunition, medical drugs, compressed biscuits and other military supplies hoarded by the Geiger Command were taken away, which determined that the American devils would never be able to truly occupy Guam before Little Japan announced its surrender.

To be honest, when Bai Shujie heard the news, he almost wanted to overwhelm him.

It's a pity that the little devil's equipment is really limited, and he only wiped out a guard group of the American devil, avenging his lieutenant general commander.

According to Bai Shujie's meaning, if he had known this before, he should have airdropped a batch of weapons to the tenacious little devils, and wiped out all the American devils who landed.

The Japanese army in Guam never gave up resistance, and it continued until January 1972, 1, a full 24 years of fighting!

On September 1944, 9, the large-scale resistance of the Japanese army finally came to an end, and the regular battlefield of the Battle of Guam came to an end.

In this battle, the Japanese army killed more than 400 people on the spot, more than 3000 people were captured, and there were no wounded.The U.S. military killed more than 1000 people, wounded more than [-], and no one was captured.

In any case, the initiative in Guam is now in the hands of the US military.

Although nearly 5 people were killed in this battle and more than [-] people were injured, Nimitz's "surprise attack" finally achieved the set goal.

The successive fall of Guam, Tinian, and Saipan resulted in the serious deterioration of the Japanese military's strategic defense posture in the Pacific Ocean. The "absolute defense circle" stipulated by the base camp was on the verge of collapse due to the loss of the core area.

The "Absolute Defense Circle" was torn a huge hole in the middle, allowing the U.S. military to gain a forward base to continue marching in the Central Pacific Ocean. The Japanese mainland has been exposed to the firepower of the U.S. B-29 "Sky Super Fortress" bomber Down.

At the last moment of the ground battle in Guam, Hideki Tojo wanted to send troops back from Indochina, but unfortunately he could no longer do what he wanted.

In order to save the huge crisis caused by the collapse of the "Absolute Defense Circle", Hideki Tojo started the "Operation No. 1944" plan at the end of August 8 with all his might.

He ordered the Japanese troops in China to open up the Ping-Han, Guangdong-Han, and Hunan-Guangxi railway lines running through the mainland at all costs, in an attempt to get rid of the blockade of the US Navy, so that the Japanese troops trapped in Nanyang could get supplies, and at the same time, they deployed a group of main forces to reinforce the front line of Guam. .

It's a pity that this big battle is not over yet, but the dust has settled on Guam.

The Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi began at the end of August. This was the last fight of the Japanese devils before they fled. Although the mainland communication line was opened, it was unable to consolidate this line.

As the b-29 bomber fleet of the American devils began to directly attack the Japanese mainland, Hideki Tojo also came to a dead end.

The continuous failures on the battlefield and the defection and disappearance of Admiral Yamamoto 56, commander of the United Fleet (this is the conclusion of Japan's short-haired son), intensified the trend of domestic opposition forces' relegation.

On September 9, Hideki Tojo, who had lost the trust of the emperor, convened the last cabinet meeting and submitted the Prime Minister's resignation letter to Minister Koichi Kido.

On the same day, he resigned as Chief of Staff (General Umezu Yoshijiro took over on the same day), and successively resigned as Minister of War, Minister of Internal Affairs, and Minister of Military Supplies, and transferred to the reserve service.

With the downfall of Hideki Tojo's cabinet, even ordinary people began to suspect that the myth of the invincibility of the Imperial Japanese Army may have a lot of water in it.

The haze of the end of the country is coming, and it is already in sight.

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
