Iwo Jima War Records (4)
Chapter 350:Iwo Jima War Records (4)
Ten days after the war on Iwo Jima, the Japanese garrison on the island remained struggling to survive.
And people who can survive to the present, like the big waves, know the meaning of life, no one is looking for death, but this does not change the limit state, other tragedies.
Honda's tree is still on the edge of the observation port of the channel, and there is a significant difference in the pit road from the previous days.
Half of the soldiers in the pit road are wounded soldiers, and the seriously injured soldiers are wrapped around the bandages, feet, hands, and bodies, and many wounded soldiers are in a coma.
Most of these wounded soldiers were burned, and the Red Guard Corps' attack on Iwo Jima did not stop, originally as a covert and tunnel to kill ten times their enemies, and instead became the death of the garrison.
From the beginning, the battle was beyond the imagination of the Japanese, and the enemies outside, as if they were born with a perspective, could find the hidden pits with great precision, and could find those mud-covered pits.
The enemy's armored vehicles and tanks, all equipped with flamethrowers, or with direct-fire artillery fire, directly destroyed the Japanese soldiers hidden in the soil.
So far, I have basically not heard that there is no killing and killing the enemy, but there are hot flames everywhere, and the soldiers who are burned are rotten, and even the seriously injured people who have no strength.
Especially after the airport on the island of sulfur was occupied by the enemy, the enemy arrived with a large number of supplies and aircraft every day, and the attack was more efficient.
However, this is not the most tragic for most of the soldiers of the Japanese garrison.
The tunnel where the Honda tree is located, the soldiers inside are a relatively sound part of the combat effectiveness, and the soldiers also have a certain number of bullets in their hands.
But for all, their commander was a devil, even if only a lieutenant.
Honda looked at the devil-like lieutenant with his own eyes, allowing all wounded soldiers who could move, a group of three people, to leave the pit road and launch a surprise attack on the nearby enemy camp.
Although the basic operational command system in the pit road has long since collapsed, because the superiority and inferiority of the rank have not disappeared, the commander's orders still have the effect of obeying subordinate officers and soldiers.
The fact that the officer abused his power had long been common, and he treated his subordinates like a slave, even if it was only a small lieutenant, but because the officer with a higher rank than the lieutenant died one after another, the lieutenant became a tyranty existence in this pit road, and constantly issued various orders.
If it is a normal way to send soldiers to sneak attacks on enemy camps, it is a legitimate battle order.
But sending a group of wounded soldiers does not say, but also did not equip these wounded soldiers with bullets, bare weapons, and rusty bayonets, not even a grenade, this behavior, is to let these wounded soldiers die.
The most memorable thing for Honda is that when the wounded team set out, the lieutenant said, don't come back.
So brutal, Honda under the tree is difficult to accept, if not the reason to stop it, he would like to shoot the lieutenant.
Let the wounded soldiers sneak attack and not let them come back, in fact, it is to reduce the number of soldiers fighting for food.
In order to last longer for the limited food and drinking water in this pit road, the less people in the pit, the better, and in order to be able to live a few more days, the authorities find ways to get rid of the weak in the pit road - wounded soldiers, this behavior is more hateful than the surrender.
The most hateful thing is that the lieutenant's tyranny is not all, in the understanding of the airport, there are dozens of planes every day, and the lieutenant even issued an order to steal the plane back.
It is absurd that the lieutenant tried to get the soldiers to attack the airport and then fly home on his own plane.
Not to mention close to the airport, even if you get out of the pit road 100 meters, the probability of survival will not exceed 5%.
The enemy was on the island of Iwo Jima, with a large number of detection equipment and snipers everywhere, armed with weapons, and soldiers who came out of the pit road, and hardly any of them came back.
And even if the luck is good, can advance to the airport, but also successfully stole the plane, the enemy's aircraft can be opened up, no one is the enemy aircraft driving experience, how to take off?
It is also normal that no soldier is willing to accept such an order.
However, the lieutenant did not give up, but more and more felt that this method can be acted upon, but in fact, the extreme environment has made people unconsciously crazy.
The lieutenant pulled five soldiers, full of weapons and ammunition, and left the pit road.
The lost ruling clique is full of selfish ideas, the strong and the weak are mixed together, and the most powerful can become the rulers of the group, and can be rampant in it.
The six men who had left the trenches immediately returned in a panic, and all five soldiers who had gone out together were killed, and only the lieutenant quickly fled, but when he was about to enter the pit road, he was desperate to find that the exit of the pit road had already been blocked.
He shouted three times, but the people who blocked the pit road not only did not let go of the pit door, but blocked it more tightly.
The end of the lieutenant's end can be imagined, and he was soon named and killed by snipers.
Honda under the tree is just very calm to see all this, he is just a high soldier, although the identity is a little special, the officer in the pit road can not order him, he can also freely go to all the pits, it is precisely for this reason, for every tunnel in the hegemonic situation, he has known.
Things like this lieutenant are very common in other pits, where officers dominate all subordinates, and for their own survival, many decisions are well-off.
In a long-term limit state, these dominators will soon become as meaningless as this lieutenant.
Opening the notebook and taking out the pencil, Honda wrote: "I saw more and more clearly that the order in the Japanese army was very fragile, and the soldiers strictly followed the order of the surface, and finally there was no going up."
The soldiers lurking in the pit road are naked and naked, because the heat in the trenches is abnormal, and the uniforms are all lice, and there is no way to wear them on the body.
In this pit, hopeless war takes everything from everyone, including human nature, and in the limit of patience and hunger and thirst, a little insignificant can also lead to conflict, and this conflict is often accompanied by disability.
In the pit, there is a veritable hell."
