Iwo Jima Campaign Records (V)
Chapter 351:Iwo Jima Campaign Records (V)
The battle for Iwo Jima entered its eleventh day.
On this day, the enemy has swept all the defense points on the outskirts of the mountain, and pushed the battlefield to the main pit group of folding mountains.
In the past eleven days, Honda knew that soldiers had chosen to surrender, and the enemy had accepted this surrender in order to reduce the difficulty of Iwo Jima's battle.
But the enemy will not always moderately carry out the policy of persuasion and surrender.
In the completely closed pitways and trenches, a large number of canisters were placed in the trenches, and these boxes were placed in the trenches and pits, and the dry ice-like white smoke was cast, and soon the people inside could not even see their own hands.
It is just that this method is not very useful for the trenches that have continuous groups and are well connected, after all, the Japanese can escape to the depths of the trenches.
These underground trenches and tunnels, which have been operated by the Japanese for a long time, are full of danger for the Red Guard Corps.
Attacking such a place, even the elite special forces of the 21st century, will not be able to get any benefit.
There are a lot of crazy people inside.
The Red Guards Marines naturally had no idea of a forced attack, and the Marines' assault on Iwo Jima kept the casualties of the Marines at a very low point, naturally not in the final attack, losing too many troops.
Moreover, these Japanese troops on Iwo Jima Island, whether it was extinguished in a month or within a day, made no difference to the Red Guards.
Because the Japanese garrison on the island can no longer withstand any wind and waves.
At this time, the main force of the fourth theater force has landed in the Ogasawara Islands, Iwo Jima is already behind as a battlefield, the island is only left on the island of two Marine Corps defenders, most of the troops have been withdrawn.
And the remaining troops, is only selective and the Japanese soldiers on the island, a good play.
To this end, the Red Guards Corps Supreme Command also made a decision that Japanese soldiers who were willing to surrender on the battlefield could be allowed to surrender and not abuse them, but still did not accept the prisoners captured on the battlefield.
A round of smoke bombs failed, and the Red Guards Corps was converted into gas bombs.
Tear gas bombs, yellow phosphorus gas, nitrogen, various bombs were dropped to the exit of every pit road and trench around the folding mountain, so that many Japanese soldiers inside, difficult to breathe, empty reservoirs with violent gasps, many people fainted on the ground.
Those who were thin or wounded, or wounded soldiers, and therefore died, so that this toxic gas was only temporary and quickly volatilized.
Honda's tree also fainted with many soldiers, and in the fresh air circulation in the trench, he woke up.
After several "gas" attacks, the Japanese soldiers in the trenches quickly learned how to deal with it.
That is, it is necessary to ensure the ventilation of the inside of the trenches and pits, as long as it can be ventilated, even when sleeping, will not die.
But if you try to block all the entrances and exits and avoid this kind of attack, it will really kill all.
Therefore, when many Japanese soldiers sleep, they will choose to be in a well-ventilated place, and at any time, someone will confirm the ventilation environment, and once there is a change, everyone should be notified.
Under such an attack, there were still very few Japanese soldiers who came out to surrender.
Just like the historical U.S. military attack on Iwo Jima, there has been a similar situation, when the U.S. military occupied most of the Iwo Jima, but also met the stubborn Japanese.
In the face of various means of persecution in the United States, the Japanese at that time also refused to surrender, and the Americans lamented:
“The Japanese have a philosophy of ‘absolutely not surrender.’The U.S. Army objected to surrendering when there was still hope, but in that desperate state of the time, it was incomprehensible to carry out this philosophy.
The battle of the Japanese soldiers has reached a point of no significance.If it is hidden underground, what can it do?There is no reason not to surrender.
The wise man surrenders before he loses much, but there is no such simple philosophy in the Japanese army.”
...
Unlike the Americans, the Red Guard Corps does not care whether the Japanese surrender, for the Red Police soldiers on the island of sulfur at this moment, those Japanese rats hidden underground are a good life to adjust the goods in a boring day.
It can also be adjusted occasionally, and the rats under the underground are not happy.
In the afternoon of the same day, the soldiers of the Red Police Corps on the island, received a pump pipe from the sea and entered the trenches and pits, but in these waters, a large amount of gasoline was poured into, and once the reference was not only killed, gasoline will make the human body more weak.
However, the Japanese soldiers inside did not know that the Honda tree that fell on the ground and suddenly heard the cries of others, and he hurried away.
In the depths of the underground trenches, the ground gleamed, and the large number of soldiers gathered around it, very chaotic.
Looking down, Honda's tree had doubts about itself, which was a water, a glittering water surface.
Not knowing where the water came from, gradually increasing, many positions close to the deep soldiers, the waist has been spread by the water.
This made all the Japanese soldiers quite excited, because they had been away from the water for too long.
In the midst of the cheers, someone started to take a bath, someone started swimming.
No one cares about the turbidity of the written water, nor does it care that because of the sleepiness of the sanitary conditions, the water washes away those urinals and begins to stink.
Honda under the tree has a very disgusting feeling, watching a lot of people unscrupulous swim in the water, he really want to vomit, in front of these water, in his eyes, more like the evening soup.
The sea water flowing down the trenches was mixed with gasoline, and there were a lot of dirty things in the pit road, and the odor was filled with odor.
Honda's arm was injured before the tree, and immediately left the spreading water, the wound touched such water, the bacteria infected after entering, and in the pit road without drugs, the death is almost difficult to reverse.
And many of the wounded soldiers, after seeing the water, were all mad, forgetting everything, and gathered on the water.
The behavior of Honda under the tree allowed him to pick up a life, because as the water increased, a hand thunder flowed along the position of the water and flowed into the depths of the trench.
An explosion came from underwater, the gasoline in the water was ignited, and the water suddenly became a sea of fire, and the soldiers in the naked water were swallowed by the fire.
In the sea of fire, the high-temperature fire caused many people to be burned in an instant, and the Japanese soldiers who shouted and shouted pain, and many of their skin fell off.
Under Honda saw a burned soldier, all the skin fell off, like a ghost crawling out of hell.
