“Even though the forts on the mountain were all destroyed, four two hundred and twenty-millimeter guns were blown up without firing a single shell.But the enemy does not know how terrible things await them on this island."

Hundreds of tunnel trenches, hidden caves, scattered soldiers' caves, mines everywhere...

When the fourth day of landing operations came, the Marines who landed on Iwo Jima took action again.

Climbing soft ash into the hinterland of Iwo Jima, the attacking troops still saw no infantry, only an icy steel machine.

The front of the attack is covered by the ship gun, there are helicopter gunfire in the air, strong armored units open the way, the main apocalypse tank once again stepped into the battlefield.

Honda, like many soldiers, was ready to fight, but from the beginning, the war was completely unexpected.

Imaginary, the enemy attacked infantry did not see, only a tank and armored vehicle in the eyes.

Crossing the crater of the pothole, walking on the ground, the mines that were detonated, the mines laid by the Japanese were detonated by rocket deminers, and even if there were missing mines, it was difficult to hurt the apocalyptic tanks in the attack.

Honda's under the tree is constantly looking for targets in the sniper mirror, but in the distance there are only tanks and armored vehicles, and no targets can be attacked.

This kind of fighting is very painful.

Fighting turned into watching the enemy’s fearless approach, but there was no way.

Just as Honda was getting ready to put down the sniper rifle, a figure caught his eye, a companion of his, also from a veteran of the same county.

A few hours ago, the two people also briefly talked about it, and the old soldier said to him without concealing the war: "If it were not for the killing of ten enemies to commit suicide, I would never have tolerated it now."

Life on the island of sulphur was worse than hell, because there was no water on the island that could not be quoted at all, and in order to alleviate the pain of no drinking water, even medical alcohol and fuel were consumed.

Many soldiers, when there is nothing to do, are lying on the bottom of the moist pit road, smoking the water in the soil.

Without drinking water, even food is difficult to swallow.

In fact, there is no shortage of things to eat on the island of Iwo Jima, whether it is the Japanese army's own preparations or part of the original ecology of the island, can meet the needs of the belly.

However, the lack of water is more serious than the problem caused by the lack of food.

Honda under the tree looking at his companion, ran out of the hidden pit road, he thought of a very bad picture, the muzzle can not help but point to his back, the heart is full of tangles.

However, soon, Honda put down the gun, he saw his fellow countrymen, after leaving the tunnel, began to crawl slowly, quickly came to the side of several corpses, from the body of the bag, took out a bundle of grenades, tied together, and then lying in the body.

The tank tracks in front of the crawler, watching the Honda tree in this scene bite the root, and then silently watched their companion lying on the back of the ground.

The gap between the battle from the beginning is like a deep gap, and the two armies are just different from the depth of the gap between the two armies in the battlefield.

The same is the use of machine guns, the Japanese army must ensure that every bullet as possible to kill the enemy, in contrast to the Red Guard Corps, every time the fire is suppressed, the bullet is poured down like a rainstorm.

This gap is very deadly.

This also makes many Japanese soldiers, do not know how to fight, than the gun method, people sitting in the armored vehicle, very safe towards the opposite accurate shooting, often exposed fire points, will be quickly killed.

Around the armored vehicles that followed the tank, there were infantry shooting holes capable of rotating 360 degrees, and independent observation devices that could clearly explore the situation around the outside.

In this case, many Japanese soldiers are almost facing collapse.

Many soldiers, simply holding explosives, lay in the body, intending to die together, and continue to live, more painful than death.

To such companions, Honda would like to say that it is not that he despises these companions, but that he admires the courage of these companions, because they dare to die.

However, this kind of behavior is of no use at all, because Honda's tree has seen it with his own eyes that an enemy tank in the process has been bombed by three anti-tank mines in a row, but it is intact, and even the track has not broken.

A single-armed grenade is impossible to destroy this terrible tank.

However, the actual results are more unacceptable than Honda's imagination.

The forward apocalyptic tank, the captain's machine gun on the turret, suddenly turned up, the muzzle of the gun, just lying down for less than ten seconds of the companion, by the 12.7 mm caliber of the bullet on the long machine gun, the flesh and blood blurred, from the back, the whole month of the Hungarian cavity was blown up by the bullets.

Honda looked at the body of his companion for ten seconds, and suddenly fell into the dirt, he did not allow others to see the tears in his eyes, he did not want to become a coward.

Only soon, Honda under the tree was attracted by the cheering sound from the pit road, raised his head, and found that the tank hidden in the tunnel was moved.

Honda's under the tree did not like others, can not help but cheer up, because their own tanks, in front of this type of tank of the Red Police Empire, like a child who has just learned to walk, and people are a big man who is a thousand hammers, and the strength of the two is not in the same dimension.

The same tank, when the Japanese Beetle-like tanks appeared, did not need the apocalyptic tanks to start, and the twenty-millimeter rapid-fire guns on the multi-functional infantry fighting vehicle in the attack could easily destroy such tanks.

To be described as vulnerable, very apt, brittle Japanese tanks, as if they do not need to use armored vehicles of the gun, but the armor-piercing shells of heavy machine guns can be broken down.

For such a result, the time in the pit road was quiet, and no one cheered anymore, only the dead silence.

There is no hope and no disappointment, Honda is a little better than others, at least as a high-quality student in the physics department of the University of Tokyo, his insight is much stronger than that of other soldiers.

On the fourth day of the attack, the Japanese garrison on the island still resisted to death, but the Japanese with their courage and fighting spirit absolutely could not lose to the teachings and ideas of the Red Guard Empire, they still stubbornly fought under various conditions, and also caused some small trouble to the Marines in the attack.
