Chapter 1054

The Japanese army built a hidden military airport on the island. Originally, the airport could hold more than 50 fighter planes, but now there are only two transport planes and four fighter planes. These poor planes are parked in the hangar covered with camouflage net, and one plane can't take off because of lack of some parts.

It is impossible to expect this air force to pose a fatal threat to the U.S. Navy. Even the air force commander of the Sixth Army on this island has given up all efforts. He drinks in despair all day, and doesn't even care about the war situation he should be involved in.

After a hard morning's work, Takemoto was finally transferred to a post in the port. He took turns to rest. He held his 38 rifle and looked at the sea in front of him. It used to be a place he yearned for. If it wasn't for the fact that he was the eldest in his family, he might have become a brave sailor, riding the wind and waves on a Japanese whaling ship.

But in reality, although he was stopped by his family and did not become a sailor, because of the explosion of the war, he was not able to stay away from the dangerous profession and became a soldier on this island who did not know when he would die. The island lacks the most basic medical security, malaria can kill people at any time, and hundreds of wounded people in the field hospital can't be transported to the rear. It's no surprise that the island has deteriorated into a plague ridden place at any time.

"Did you hear that? The new desalination machine on the island is broken A comrades in arms while holding a shriveled similar rice ball lunch chewing, while using vague language to tell the island of those news. The equipment is very unstable and breaks down from time to time, so most of the drinking water on the island comes from rainfall rather than desalinated seawater.

Takemoto also held a very ugly looking rice ball in his hand and squeezed a smile from the corner of his dry mouth: "if that thing can work normally, it's really puzzling. Compared with that unreliable machine, I don't think I have to worry about having no water to drink now. "

"Why?" The soldier asked suspiciously.

"Why do you ask? The Americans will call soon, and then we will all die here. " Takemoto complained: "those bastards won't let us build those trenches and fortifications for no reason, so I want to say that this place will soon become the front line."

"Shall we not transfer? Let's just machine gunners deal with Americans? Is that crazy? " The soldier looked around, and finally went to the new soldiers who came out of the dock in the distance, and then his eyes widened: "my God, baga road! We're going to fight with the newcomers, with the Americans? "

Just as he sighed, a Japanese soldier in charge of lookout on the hillside in the distance shook the air defense alarm in his hand. He tried his best to convey his urgency to everyone. Because in the distance of the sky, a small black spot is rapidly expanding, then splitting, and finally forming a terrible black cloud.

"These American bastards." There was no time to swallow his food, so Takemoto stood up in a hurry and put the bad rice ball into his clean pocket. Then he carried his rifle to the wharf of the port to rescue the military supplies that had just been sent ashore. For the people trapped on the isolated island, each of these materials is a very precious treasure.

These U.S. B-17 bombers from other distant islands, dense over the island, launched their attack formation. The failure of bombing Norway made the American high-level put all the newly produced B-17 bombers into the Pacific battlefield. These amazing strategic bombers really lived up to the expectations of the public, and immediately bombed several small islands that were stranded by the Japanese army into ruins.

The Japanese did not have any weapons. They could fly with these frightful gunships in the air, just like the German air force. The Japanese fighter planes with outstanding dexterity and fighting performance did nothing in front of these planes, and the end of barely taking off and intercepting was to increase the performance of the Allied bombers.

However, what is puzzling is that these bombers did not take any action against the port composed of several simple docks exposed outside. They began to bomb deeper into the middle of the island, destroying the Japanese villages on the island and blowing up some cultivated sugarcane fields into a sea of fire.

After opening the magazine, these B-17 bombers lowered their flight altitude and carried out an accurate bombing attack at an altitude of about 6ooo meters. A large number of bombs destroyed several important Japanese warehouses, and also destroyed some newly built fortifications relying on the mountains and forests on the island.

"Report to the general!" A Japanese officer went to the headquarters of major general Ishida in the cave and stood at attention to Ishida and his next lieutenant general: "the Americans bombed our warehouse and the airport, because some materials have been transferred to the cave bunker in advance according to the order, so the loss is not big."

Americans obviously have a strong interest in docks or ports. They prefer to occupy facilities that can be used immediately rather than completely destroy them. In addition to the escort of the two o us fighter planes with machine guns strafed the Japanese ships docked in the port, large-scale bombing did not start on the most vulnerable port.

Another came in with the new commander of the supplementary troops. His face was still depressed. Before Ishida asked, he bowed his head and reported the news that his troops had suffered heavy losses from the air attack: "my troops' training is very limited. They suffered such an attack for the first time, so the chaos caused more casualties. About 2oo soldiers died in the war, And 35o people have been injured. " Major general Ishida frowned involuntarily after hearing the casualty report. He has just been supplemented by 2ooo soldiers. As a result, these soldiers lost more than a quarter on the first day. Anyone who puts this kind of news in front of him will have an impulse to swear. Unfortunately, when he heard that the soldiers of the original 28O division on the island also lost more than 1OO people in the bombing, he had no impulse to fire. Major general Ishida had to accept the fact that none of his troops had any combat experience, and he had to use such an inexperienced force to stop the advance of the US Navy 6“ Sir! You have to get out of here. " Ishida put down a pile of difficult problems in front of him, turned to the old general beside him and said, "now the American planes have begun to bomb, it's no longer safe here. Take that transport ship at once, and go“ Shitian Jun! To tell you the truth, if I can choose by myself, I would rather die here than live to face a more embarrassing future. " The old general said helplessly. After that, he felt that what he had just said was too pessimistic, so he squeezed out a smile and said to major general Ishida, "I'll leave you. Do yourself a good job." When Takemoto was helping some frightened soldiers to carry boxes of ammunition on the wharf, he saw a car passing by him. The car stopped at the end of the wharf. The officers on it, surrounded by stomach trouble and adjutants, walked up the ladder to the empty transport ship. The bombing just made these ships dare not stay, so those seriously injured soldiers who were originally arranged to leave with the ship were temporarily changed to slightly injured soldiers. They can walk on the ship by themselves, so they can get on the ship more quickly. For these wounded soldiers, what they are going through now, when they are in port Solomon or Darwin, has already experienced one time. The seriously wounded are left behind, the lightly wounded are retreated, and then delay treatment. The lightly wounded, due to lack of medicine and medical conditions, eventually deteriorate into the seriously wounded, Left on an island“ Look, look! The general is gone One side of the comrades put down a box of heavy machine gun bullets, while wiping his head full of sweat, he said to the side of Takemoto taro: "it seems that it's really the same as you said, it's going to war, these officials are going to run away."“ I see it Takemoto really wants to run over and board the boat with the general to leave the island that has become the front line. But he couldn't, because he knew that if he did, he would soon be dragged down by the gendarmerie and shot in front of everyone. So all he can do is to envy, and then comfort himself silently in his heart, saying to himself that in fact, it is not a very safe thing to leave by boat in this situation. Looking at the transport ship far away, and finally disappeared at sea level, he closed his eyes. It's still an endless sea, and it's also a place he yearns for. Unfortunately, he may never have the chance to travel on the sea again in his life, because he must fight to defend the island under his feet with all the people who stay. In the evening, it was still light. Major general Ishida received a message of condolence from the navy in his underground bunker. The transport ship leaving from him and several other ships were all sunk more than ten kilometers away by US Navy carrier aircraft. In addition to a destroyer named Xuefeng was able to get away with it, and the people on board were not injured, no Japanese soldiers survived. The lieutenant general, who was supposed to go to Malaysia to command the battle, now has only one name left, and is left at the top of the list of the dead Second watch! Long Ling is trying to code.
