Chapter 325:Taking Control of the Pacific

The rainstorm for half a month completely washed Rabaul's blood clean, and the clear sky after the rain was clear and there was no cloud.

The tents built on the seashore were gradually demolished, and for half a month, a new Rabaul, a barracks, the port that had been expanded by the Japanese, was further expanded, and a huge military port that could quickly devour millions of tons of goods stood by the sea.

Rabaul's war was long over, and half a month of construction work made Rabaul quickly an overseas transit station.

In the large airports where several airports have been combined, thousands of planes of various types are neatly parked in the hangar, covering an astonishing 15 square kilometers, and the city of Rabaul has also become a coastal military fortress.

Various anti-aircraft fire, radar and bunker, rolling, busy port, is a tens of thousands of tons of integrated supply ships, the White Tiger fleet of two aircraft carriers, is also in the port to rest and maintenance.

Such a large-scale construction, only the base can be completed, if it is normal, even in the history of this period of the United States, it is difficult to build such a perfect transit base within a year.

The units of the First Army of the Red Guard Marine Corps, successively gathered here, and the occupation of the surrounding Japanese-controlled islands was gradually completed, and the troops who carried out combat tasks returned to Rabaul to rest.

The military operation in the Japanese occupation zone in the South Pacific region will also be completed within half a month at the latest, when there will be no more war in the South Pacific.

Rabaul's presence also directly faced the position of the next attack, with the goal of the Philippines, which is gradually shifting to the Philippines, which is focusing on defense.

The capture of the Philippines, open the first stop of the full occupation of Southeast Asia, and the capture of Saipan and Guam, complete control of the Mariana Islands, but also in order to launch an attack on Japan's neighboring areas.

The subsequent Southeast Asian offensive will be launched after the end of the military operation in the Central Pacific region, along with the attack on the Japanese mainland.

The two fronts fought to completely control Japan's maritime traffic lines, and at the same time completely blocked the Japanese mainland.

From the beginning of the Pacific War, it was a supply depot, whether it was the Red Guards or the Japanese.

Compared with the United States in history, the Red Guard Corps is more prepared, on the contrary, due to the closeness of the timeline, Japan's preparedness in the Pacific region is far less than the historical Pacific war.

To solve most of the main force of the Japanese Navy, the next thing to do is to kill Japan completely.

After all, compared with the history of the United States, the advantages and strength of the Red Police Corps, as well as the concentrated resources, are too strong.

In contrast, Japan, not only did not have any strengthening, but because of insufficient preparation in time, the strength has been weakened.

However, the Red Guard Corps did not choose exactly the same tactics as the U.S. island hopping tactics, although it also took island-hopping tactics to attack, but took the same initiative to seize the Japanese occupation of the island that had been separated behind.

Cutting off supply lines and then capturing every island controlled by the Japanese was based on the requirements of the base’s mission.

With complete control of the major islands of the South Pacific, plus the Mariana Islands, the first mission in this space-time can be accomplished.

At this moment, on the blue coastline of Rabaul, under the shadow of the beautiful coconut trees, under a parasol, on the rattan chaise longue, Fan Yize is comfortably enjoying the little girl's massage.

Cool sea breeze is negative, the air after the rain is fresh, quiet afternoon, enjoy quiet relaxation, is the most comfortable thing.

In the distance, he walked slowly to a colorful figure, and was making a small girl on her shoulders, and she got up and said, "I'll go get some drink."

Turned up, looked at the beams that came, Fan Yize moved under the just relaxed bones, smiled slightly: "There seems to be good news."

"The Xuanwu Fleet has sent the latest complete war report, do you need to see it yourself?"Ling Liang went under the umbrella, sat on another rattan chaise longue, and asked.

Fan Yize did not speak, reached over the hands of Lingliang's detailed war report, the content of the war is very detailed, there are written records and a large number of pictures.

On the day of the Battle of Saipan, the Second Marine Corps gained a foothold on Saipan Island, and although the Japanese army launched a frenzied counterattack that night, it was quickly repelled under the resistance of the Marines.

The next day, the Red Guards continued to reinforce the landing site, and the Japanese army on the island again launched a larger counter-offensive, and the second round of the Japanese counterattack was repelled in the early morning of the next day.

By the third day, the 2nd Marines had taken control of the airfield and had deployed a large number of artillery positions on the island.

At the same time, the Japanese Navy tried to rescue Saipan, but was immediately completely annigent in the sea west of the Mariana Islands, and the Japanese army on the island was completely isolated.

On the fourth day of the landing, the Marines successfully captured the island's commanding high-tend, Tapaujo Peak, and continued to attack the northern part of Saipan.

After three days of fierce fighting, all the remnants of the Japanese army were squeezed to the northern end of Saipan, and on the eighth day of the landing on Saipan, the remaining 3,000 Japanese remnants of the army launched a death charge against the attacking Marines, and today, the battle on Saipan came to an end.

On the island of Saipan, all the senior Japanese generals committed suicide, and 50,000 Japanese troops on this war island did not survive.

During the battle on Saipan, the Second Marines also took advantage of the capture of Tinian Island while trying to support Saipan.

From the beginning of the Navy's operation to the end of the entire Battle of Saipan, it took 13 days to use a large fleet, and the Second Army of the Marine Corps also deployed the strength of two Marine Divisions, completely eliminating the remaining Japanese naval forces in Saipan and the surrounding area.

On the third day of the Battle of Saipan, the basalt fleet quickly surrounded Guam and launched intensive artillery strikes and airstrikes on the island.

On the day of the end of the Battle of Saipan, the remaining two Marine Corps Marine Divisions of the Second Marine Corps also successfully landed in Guam, and the defense force of 18,000 Japanese troops on Guam ended the war after seven days of death and at the cost of being completely destroyed.

After this war, the Xuanwu fleet used the thunderous trend to completely drive out the Japanese army in the Pacific Ocean, and with Guam as the core, established the Central Pacific Defense Line, expanded the air bases on Guam and Saipan and Tianning Island, and stationed more than 2,000 air force fighters and bombers, threatening the maritime transportation routes between Japan and Southeast Asia.
