Chapter 1515 Iwo Jima
What happened was as Zhang Tuohai expected, the United States carried out a comprehensive bombing and artillery attack on Pearl Harbor.
The land at Pearl Harbor was plowed twice with shells and bombs.
It seems that this is the only way to wash away their shame.
The attack continued for three days before the Americans sent a landing ship to the island.
The entire island is filled with the smell of burnt lake, and there is not even a living mouse.
Halsey is very satisfied with the effect of the attack.
"This method is good. I will follow this method in the future. Before each attack, first cover the island with artillery shells."
"Yes." The adjutant recorded the order.
People are all path dependent. When a certain method is successful, they will involuntarily copy it in this way.
That's what Halsey is.
Until I hit Iwo Jima.
And because of the huge casualties, I was moved to the front and forced to rest.
Then, a raging fire broke out throughout Edo, and the entire city was almost burned to the ground.
Zhang Tuohai sent two more divisions to land on the island and ended the attack on the mountain.
The first target of my revenge is Edo.
Every time you find a hole, throw a grenade or use a flamethrower to burn it.
Bullets hit Song Dan from all directions.
I gave an order that every soldier must kill eight enemies before he is allowed to die in battle.
Halsey even allocated more than a dozen 460-caliber naval guns to Li Mei.
In the end, only eight Japanese soldiers on the entire island chose to surrender, and the rest either died in battle or committed suicide.
What depth does Iwo Jima have? It is just an isolated island.
Li Lin suffered heavy losses.
That time we learned to be stupid. Every time we took a step back, we had to move forward to check the ground.
As long as the siege lasts long enough, the people on the island can be trapped to death.
When a large number of Lilin gathered under the beach and prepared to retreat inland, Lieutenant General Li Mei gave the order to attack.
First of all, the United States finally had enough patience and threw the big girl at Tokyo.
In order to encircle a point for reinforcements, some Japanese troops would even take the initiative to shoot at the opponent's vital points, only to make the opponent incapacitated, and then kill the opponent's medical soldiers.
If the island is too big and there are too few people on it, Halsey even wants to pack millions of people under Iwo Jima.
Once the target is discovered, continue bombing until all resistance forces are completely eliminated.
Thousands of bombers formed a sparse formation and launched an attack on Edo.
A small amount of food, drinking water and various weapons are stored outside, enough for a division to continue fighting for a year.
Killed a small number of aircraft.
After destroying the combined fleet, he no longer had any opponents in the Pacific, so he naturally had no scruples and began to gradually capture the islands occupied by the Japanese.
The Lieutenant General of the American Army is from the Air Force, and what he hates most is not small bombing.
Resolutely fight to the end with Kuribayashi.
At the same time, the elite local First Division was transferred there.
When Zhang Tuohai saw that situation, he immediately became angry and ordered aircraft and naval guns to attack again.
In this way, the hatred between the United States and Japan deepens and penetrates into the bone marrow.
Xiaodou Lilin was knocked to the ground before he could even react to what was going on.
I immediately launched a small-scale air raid.
Halsey was not prepared. I dismantled all the remaining steel and built low-aircraft cannons to form artillery regiments specifically to intercept Song Dan in his path.
Kuribayashi was hit by the bullet before he could react.
There is no way the forward naval guns can pry through the thick mountain.
Small-caliber naval guns even sank two landing ships.
In fact, Song Danjian didn't have any other option other than sending warships to besiege Iwo Jima.
When encountering an enemy, call in naval gun fire.
Along with a loud noise, a cloud of mushrooms rose up.
A fierce battle unfolded on the Japanese mainland. However, Mount Suribachi is a solid rock structure, so the bombing for two days only left some craters, which was ineffective for the main fortifications.
Li Mei is also very determined.
This trick may not work well on other islands, but Li Mei built all the missing fortifications outside the mountain.
As soon as the battle ended, it was one-sided.
Boom!
In name, he was to take custody of local prisoners, but in reality, Li Mei also had an important mission, which was not to build Iwo Jima into a fortress or a battleship that would never sink.

Thousands of planes were dispatched frequently, bombing small cities one after another, razing every small city in sight to the ground.
Then, Song Dan moved forward to build airports and conduct bombings on various small cities in Japan.
A small number of fortifications were built inside the mountain and reinforced with various rocks and cement.
In order to achieve a worse bombing effect, we even used special incendiary bombs based on the fact that there were few wooden buildings in Edo.
When Li Mei arrived at Iwo Jima, she finished digging fortifications day and night, hollowing out almost the entire Mount Suribachi.
The method he used was also very simple, that is, artillery bombing, blowing up the land, and then landing on the island.
"Order, continue to send people to land, and we must take Iwo Jima."
Before the attack on Pearl Harbor, he sent Lieutenant General Kuribayashi.
A large number of weapons were sent up.
In response, Halsey directly gave a radio speech, denounced the atrocities committed by the United States, and at the same time called on the entire people to resist and fight Song Dan to the forefront.
Under my command, Kuribayashi finally captured Iwo Jima at the cost of nearly 100,000 casualties.
Then, hundreds of thousands of chestnut trees washed down the Japanese mainland from various ports.
When Song Dan arrived at Iwo Jima, he still followed the old method of bombing it with small artillery before landing.
Zhang Tuohai takes Iwo Jima very seriously.
The remaining Song Dan was also crawling underground, shivering.
Tens of thousands of people were burned to death, the river boiled, and the whole city turned into a white field.
I vowed to blow up Mount Suribachi.
Li Mei knew what Song Danjian was going to do, but it was the emperor's order, and all I could do was follow it.
In my opinion, if you want to crush the enemy's will to fight, the most complicated thing is not to kill the opponent's industrial capabilities and blow the opponent back to the Stone Age.
The whole island is like hell on earth.
Seeing Halsey's resolute attitude, the American army felt that it had been provoked.
After repeated failures, Kuribayashi also became arrogant, thinking that this time was just another scorched earth journey like the rest.
Seeing the tragic situation under the island, Song Danjian had a headache.
But Song Danjian didn't give up yet, so he left like that. I felt embarrassed.
I even gave everyone a pistol and a grenade.
Rifles stretched out from various hidden corners.
Halsey was very relaxed. He thought he could fight all the way to Tokyo with this tactic.
Such a heavy loss made Zhang Tuohai even more depressed. He wished he had to strip the Japanese troops under the island and cramp them.
