Sacrifices on the Beachhead
Chapter 345:Sacrifices on the Beachhead
Japanese soldiers on the island of sulphur were ready to face the enemy landing.
At this moment, inside the amphibious dock landing ship near the coastline, one by one, a dejected soldier, at gunpoint, stepped on the amphibious landing craft.
It can be seen that these soldiers dressed in the same uniform as the Red Police Corps before, whether it is the mental appearance or the will of the spirit, are quite negative.
It is said that people rely on clothes, but these worn on the red police soldiers, the spirit of the focus of the military uniform, in these people, but it seems very weak.
Because these soldiers in military uniforms are not soldiers of the Red Guard Corps at all, they are all Japanese expatriates from the occupied territories, and even soldiers are not, and naturally they are not soldiers.
Thousands of Japanese expatriates who were armed, but in fact, their equipment is a non-lethal imitation.
Everyone here has contributed intelligence to the Japanese Empire, which is considered a patriotic youth.
But in the eyes of the Red Guards, they were all damned beings, and if Iwo Jima hadn’t needed cannon fodder, they would all work to death in Alaska’s cold winter mines.
This is their only chance to survive and their last chance to survive.
Although reluctant to go to the battlefield, no one has a choice, some people have been immediately executed for disobeying orders, when bullets from the heads of those guys, splashing brain plasma and blood, so that everyone dare not have the slightest defiance.
On the five dock landing ships, each of which had two hundred cannon fodder on board, formed a wave of thousands of landing troops.
The Japanese soldiers caught up with the landing craft, watched the open dock door, and then at the sound of the whistle, the landing craft quickly left the dock.
The sea is very calm, and the Japanese on the island have already been well taught.
Instead, the fleet once again launched a large-scale shelling of Iwo Jima, especially for the areas leading to land, with the most intense artillery coverage.
On the landing craft, the Japanese expatriates who saw this scene showed a happy look on their faces, and everything seemed to be much better than expected.
Those cold red police imperial soldiers, did not really let them go ashore to die, so intensive fire cover, never seen before, but also let a large number of Japanese expatriates, a little resting in their hearts.
The beach of this landing is located at the foot of the mountain, along the coast to the northeast, the total length of three kilometers.
In the landing plan of the Red Guard Corps, this landing point, every five hundred meters as a landing point, has a special code, the landing troops to recognize their landing point code, can not be mistaken.
Six landing battles, a thousand Japanese expatriates, transported by landing craft, soon landed on the beach, and a landing craft rushed straight onto the beach.
However, when the Japanese expatriates who were inside the day set foot on the beach, they realized that the war was only just beginning.
What stood in front of us was not the defensive fire of the Japanese army on the island, but the Japanese troops on the island responded with a weak counterattack.
The real stop in front of the amphibious landing craft is the soft coastline, especially the beach close to the waters, covered with thick volcanic ash, so that the track-type amphibious landing craft, it is difficult to approach the beach.
Hundreds of amphibious landing craft, almost at the same time delayed in the ash, very soft beach, sea mud and volcanic ash, so that the landing craft had to stop close to the beach, so the Japanese expatriates on the boat, can only helplessly choose to get off the boat, and then wading forward.
The Japanese army on the island, including Soglin Zhongdao, believed that the landings had begun.
After all, the enemy has ascended the beach, and the artillery fire has begun to extend, Soulin Zhongdao issued orders, the defensive forces immediately defended, a large number of Japanese soldiers, from the pit road into the defensive positions, in the calculation of the defense firing data, the Japanese artillery fire accurately fell on the top of the landing force.
The Japanese expatriates who had just landed were instantly crushed to death on the beach, and the casualties were heavy, making it difficult to move forward.
Honda, who did not move his position, was still in the observation port, and he had a range of sights in his hand, the Type-Night Sniper Rifle, which was also aimed at the people on the beach.
However, when he saw all kinds of messy landing conditions on the beach, he suddenly frowned.
The enemies in the sniper mirror, one by one, were scattered, and the behavior was not like a soldier at all, and from the other side's shouting, it seemed to be Japanese.
Although the opponent of the Red Police Empire has a considerable number of rumors within Japan, many people have heard that the enemy is very strong, and every soldier of the Red Police Empire is fearless and more terrible than any opponent.
But these are just rumors for everyone on the island of Iwo Jima, after all, no one has seen it with their own eyes.
Judging from the equipment on the other side, it is true that the enemy is right, advanced assault rifles, and a large number of individual equipment, which looks eye-catching.
However, Honda's tree is still a little restless, buckling the trigger finger, never pressed.
Just when Honda was hesitant, on the distant sea, the dense rockets came to the surface, but only an instant effort, it covered the island of Iwo Jima, the Japanese defensive position.
On the warship, all the rockets ejection rapidly, the instantaneous burst of artillery fire, completely covering the width of the landing probe of three kilometers.
Many Japanese soldiers from the pit road fell into the trenches under intensive rocket fire.
Many exposed bunkers were quickly destroyed.
Seeing the Honda under the tree of this scene, there was no hesitation, aiming at an enemy who had just climbed up from the sea, pulled the trigger, naturally drew an arc in the sky, hit the guy who had just climbed out of the sea, and easily took his life.
The decisive Honda down the tree, quickly aimed, and then shot, and when he killed three enemies, only to find that on the landing of the beach, the enemy who could not yet be seen to stand up.
The bodies fell on the beach, the waves swept through the bodies, and the waves were stained red with blood.
However, the Japanese army also paid a small price, on the beach, after many fire points were exposed, it was destroyed, the defense line began to become unstable, and the 7,000 naval garrison had less than 2,000 people left.
In the general headquarters on the mountain, Soulin Zhongdao also realized that he had once again been deceived, and did not think that the enemy was so decisive, and actually sacrificed thousands of people as bait.
For if these thousands of people were not bait, the enemy's landing would have been wave after wave, and it could not be only this wave, but when he realized it, it was a little late.
