"They will use tunnels to fight like the Japanese army on Pelelliu Island!" Zhang Junhua replied.

This is already well known to the Chinese troops and generals. Although there is no evidence to prove this by the intelligence detected by the US military, it can be guessed that the Japanese army would do this.

In fact, there are still many people in the Chinese army who are skeptical about this, but the problem is that the principle of the battlefield is to plan the worst.

If the Japanese army did not build tunnels on Iwo Jima, this battle would be easy. It can even be said that only American tactical aircraft and cannon bombing, and then forced by tanks would be almost solved.

What is difficult to fight is that the Japanese army has tunnels.

Therefore, of course, it is assumed that the Japanese army had tunnels on Iwo Jima.

"This is just one aspect!" Zhang Chi said: "On the other hand... in every landing battle we have fought before, there must be a key point. I think this time the Japanese plan to set a trap based on our habits!"

"Big point?" Hearing this, several generals were shocked.

After a while, Zhang Junhua suddenly realized: "Oh, what the master is talking about is the airport?"

"Yes!" Zhang Chi nodded.

Everyone suddenly realized and recalled the landing battle fought by the Sino-US coalition forces before, from Guadalone to the Marshall Islands to the Mariana Islands, and even the island of Peleliou not long ago, basically landed on the landing, seized the airport, used the airport to quickly send troops, equipment and ammunition and then expanded the results.

Among them, the island of Perelieru is particularly the case. After capturing the airport, it directly bombed the entire pond with a large number of incendiary bombs day and night.

"What the teacher's seat means...the Japanese set a trap for us at the airport?" Zhang Junhua asked.

Zhang Chi took the file package from the guard, took out a map from it, and said, "This is the location map of the Japanese anti-aircraft guns that our pilots detected. Do you see anything?"

Zhang Junhua and Liu Guangzhong and others had this picture in their hands. They didn't see anything before, but now after looking at this picture carefully, they couldn't help but look at each other and wiped their cold sweat.

"Damn it!" Zhang Junhua cursed: "The Japanese have arranged most anti-aircraft guns inside!"

"But... can these anti-aircraft guns survive under our bombing?" Liu Guangzhong asked a question.

After all, the US military's bombing just now was too powerful. Even if there were anti-aircraft guns surviving, I was afraid that there would not be a few left.

"This is probably just a means for the Japanese to paralyze us!" Zhang Chi said: "They intended to make us think that most of the anti-aircraft guns have been destroyed, but in fact they have dragged the anti-aircraft guns into the tunnel first. Just imagine, if these anti-aircraft guns were dragged into the tunnel, where would their muzzles be aimed at when the firing world is affected?"

"Airport!" Everyone answered at the same time.

"And it's also the cross firepower from Zhebo Mountain and Yuanshan!" Staff Liang gasped: "If this is added with mortars and our unknown shore defense cannons... it will be a dead place to enter the airport!"

"At that time..." Zhang Junhua added: "Even if we have tanks, it will be useless, because the enemy fires top-down shells, which can bomb our army without any obstacles. Even our tanks cannot withstand such bombing, because the armor on the top of the tank is the weakest..."

The officers nodded after hearing this.

"So, I only sent the Second Regiment to launch an attack!" Zhang Chi continued: "And let them defend near the sea! Doing so can avoid the airport, so that most of the Japanese army's anti-aircraft artillery aimed at the airport cannot play a role. On the other hand, the troops will not cause casualties due to excessive concentration. As for the Japanese counterattack on our defense line... First of all, the Japanese troops who defended on the island were not afraid at all. They have lost most of their combat effectiveness under the bombing of our army. Secondly, those hiding in the tunnel... If they are willing to give up the tunnel and launch a counterattack, I will be undesirable!"

Upon hearing this, the officers couldn't help but feel doubts and nodded in agreement.

Sure enough, the war was as Zhang Chi guessed, and the Second Regiment was only met with minimal resistance from the Japanese army... The fortifications built by the Japanese Navy Special Marine Corps on the beach of Iwo Jima were very simple, with only a few unfinished bunker fortifications.

This is the price of Tsubasaki Mototan is unwilling to obey Tadao Kurirabayashi's orders to defend in the tunnel.

At this time, when the Japanese army completely lost control of sea and air power, unless it was a small island like Tarava and had extremely strong fortifications built, it would be difficult to escape the bad luck of being destroyed and killed on a large scale as soon as the war began.

In fact, even if there is another Tarava at this time, the US military can destroy most of its fortifications... It was inexperienced when bombing Tarava. I didn't know that most of the shells fired at low angles would jump and hit the seawater. If a large-caliber shell with a delayed fuse was fired at high angles, the situation would be different.

In other words, there is almost only one way to save the Japanese army's life at this time...the tunnel. However, Mototanakashi gave up this opportunity with his stupidity and stubbornness.

For this reason, Sora Tanaka and his troops paid a heavy price. More than 3,000 Japanese troops deployed on the island were killed by more than 1,000 people at the first time. The few who survived were injured, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced... This was caused by the large-scale use of solidification *******. The solidification **** at this time was still a strange new weapon. The Japanese army did not know how to deal with this flame that would not be extinguished. As a result, a Japanese army was ignited, and several nearby Japanese troops would rush to extinguish the fire. Who would think that the fire was getting stronger and stronger, and it soon affected the Japanese army that had been extinguished. The ignited Japanese army ran around because of pain, which formed a chain reaction.

What's worse is that the Japanese army basically had no fortifications on the beach that could stop the landing of the China Team. The wounded and disabled generals could only pick up their rifles and carry explosive bags to face the amphibious landing vehicles and "Sheerman" tanks that rushed to the ashore.

Only then did Mototan Nakaji realize what kind of mistake he made.

At that moment, Mototanakaji almost wanted to lead his subordinates to launch a "Long Live Charge" towards the US military, because he felt that... only by dying can he wash away his shame.

But at this moment, he received a call from Tadao Li Lin.

"Colonel Yuantian!" Tadakami Li Lin shouted loudly on the phone: "I order you to retreat to the 382 Heights of Yuanshan, where you need your defense!"

"I remind you again!" Tadao Li Lin added: "'Long Live Charge' is absolutely not allowed. Each of us must kill ten enemies before we have the right to die!"
