The shelling of the heavy artillery group of the small army was almost the same as the support artillery fire of the US Navy Battle Patrol formation. With the sharp whistling sound, in the huge explosion flash, Liang Chao saw several medical soldiers transporting the wounded disappear into the smoke! Almost every Japanese shell could cause casualties to the Chinese troops on the beach.

Liang Chao lay under the chassis of the amphibious tank that was pushed to the beach by the St. Mary's landing ship, and deployed a local counterattack on the beach in the Japanese artillery fire. Liang Chao could see the fire groups ejected from the behemoths on the sea. While the Japanese artillery group gave the Chinese Expeditionary Force a killing blow, the Allied combat patrol formation also gave the Japanese a fatal blow, especially the Iowa-class battleship New Jersey, which had a Type 5 high-explosive bomb fired at a speed of 2 rounds per minute with a diameter of 2 rounds per minute. Often one shell went down. Outside the large pit with a diameter of more than ten meters, more than 30,000 shrapnel swept across a range of 2,000 meters.

If it weren't for the night reconnaissance planes that could not be dispatched to lock the Japanese artillery group, the Japanese artillery group would have been silent. In order to prevent the ballistic from being calculated by the opponent and lock the artillery group, after a rapid fire, the Japanese artillery bombardment suddenly stopped shooting and diverting the position.

However, for the Japanese army that launched an attack in a dense formation, the fire support formation with the USS New Jersey battleship as the core battleship, especially the segmented shooting of the three triple main turrets of the USS New Jersey battleship, was simply a nightmare for the Japanese army. Or it opened the door to hell for the Japanese offensive forces.

Where have the Japanese officers and soldiers from the 80th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Kanto Army ever seen such a terrifying and lethal shelling? Some of the Japanese retreated timidly, but the machine guns of the military police supervision team completely cut off their escape. The dull faced Yoshiji Saito transferred a brigade of troops in the Akigi and Iktori regiments and personally directed a continuous attack on Gelu Beach.

This time, Saito Yoshiji did not divide his troops, but concentrated all his troops and launched an extremely targeted counterattack against the Chinese army in the east of Gelu Beach. In Saito Yoshiji's impression, the Chinese people were easier to deal with than tall and big Americans.

When the east showed a little white fish, the wreckage of more than a dozen Type 95 medium-sized chariots were still burning. A Japanese chariot soldier who had not had time to escape had mostly exposed his body and was burned to charcoal on the turret. From time to time, flames emerged from the mouths of the corpse, and waves of corpse odor were floating in the air with the rich smoke.

A large number of Japanese soldiers were piled up in front of the defenders of the Chinese landing troops. Even though the Chinese army suffered heavy casualties, the beachhead position was still firmly controlled in the hands of the Chinese army. Not only that, the third edge line next to the woods was also conquered by the Chinese army.

Saito Yoshiji listened to the report of the tactical staff Sakai with a blue face. In the early morning of this year, the two brigades of the 80th Independent Mixed Brigade were each invested in Akigi and Ichifumi Regiment. All four brigades were killed in the battle in the early morning. The four brigades retreated, including the wounded, and the wounded.

This is a typical example of stealing chickens without losing rice. Saito Yoshiji can be said to have made a mistake in subjective consciousness. He simply believed that the Chinese army must be less combat-effective than the US army, but he kicked it firmly on the steel plate. From the attack position to the beachhead, the body of the Imperial Army pressed down on the floor was the price for his mistake in choosing.

The Japanese army counterattacked countless times, and the Chinese Expeditionary Force that counterattacked also suffered heavy casualties. The Chinese army of the two regiments landed on the landing now had fewer combatants. Nearly a thousand minor and serious wounded people could not be placed, and people were sacrificed every minute and every moment. The St. Mary landing ship located on the beach was a target of the Japanese army's key strike, and now it is already full of holes. However, the miracle is that as the self-defense weapon of the St. Mary's armed landing ship, only two cannons were destroyed, and a large amount of materials and ammunition had been transported safely off the ship.

It can be said that the situation of the Chinese Expeditionary Force is already in danger. Even under such conditions, Liang Chao still concentrated his troops to take advantage of the Japanese army's unpreparedness and captured the Japanese army's attack and departing position. This beautiful and sudden attack in front of the formation made the Japanese army lose all their bodies.

Although Liang Chao is already facing insufficient troops, he is especially firmly defending the third line of defense that is directly suppressed by the firepower of the "Dragon Ridge", Liang Chao believes that once dawn, Song Yuhang will definitely send the 12th Regiment ashore. Then, after the fire-breathing tanks and others land one after another, he will have enough troops and equipment to deal with the Japanese entrenched on the "Dragon Ridge".

Just as the Japanese army left behind, the abandoned corpse retreated, the Chinese soldiers cheered, and a huge change appeared. A Japanese cruiser that seemed to emerge out of thin air approached the waters of Saipan. The two US destroyers serving as guards knew they were defeated, but they still sounded the battle alarm after reporting the enemy ships.

The tactical actions of the Nagasaki and Yaeyama, the first fire strike team of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet, quickly penetrated into the waters of Saipan, caused the entire landing cluster to panic. The US military combat patrol formation quickly changed missions, from ground fire support to naval combat configurations.

The panic of ships on the sea and the rise of cobalt made Liang Chao and Smith at the beach shocked at the same time? Smith: Chuan Qikun wanted to ask Turner in detail. Liang Chao was brave enough to have Song Yuhang.

Song Yuhang promised Liang Chao to send troops to reinforce the beach after the Japanese threat was lifted.

The news of the attack of the Japanese naval fleet made Liang Chao very uncomfortable, especially those ships that were getting further and further made him feel abandoned. The same feeling as Liang Chao also had Smith, the commander of the 27th Infantry Division of the US Army. Smith regretted it at this moment. Why didn’t he use the Diyang Regiment to transport it to the ashore yesterday evening? It made him feel even more worried that his troops were short of force, and what made Smith even more worried was that the "Dragon Ridge" that divided Gelu Beach into two had not been taken down. The so-called two troops logged in Gelu Beach were actually "alone."

Nimitz can be called a sea knight. Not only with the strong strength of the US Navy, but naturally it is unique in tactics. Turner is not a mediocre person who can be the commander of the lieutenant general fleet. The Japanese army used six heavy cruisers including Nagasaki and Yaeyama as assault fleets to point straight at the US landing troops, catching the US deportation formation that was guarded and intercepted by the periphery off guard. The battle patrol formation was dispersed into four teams to support the landing sites everywhere. This was equivalent to dividing the fist into fingers, and the chaos of hasty conversion of combat missions can naturally be imagined.

What shocked Turner even more was that the Japanese cruise formation appeared alone, and no trace of the Japanese aircraft carrier formation and carrier-based aircraft were found within 50 to 100 nautical miles.

This easily makes the generals of the US Navy feel a huge threat. What Yamamoto Izuru wants to bet is that the US military will not easily give up the landing troops that have already seized the beach, so that the joint fleet will have an opportunity to take advantage of it. However, the telegram sent by Yamamoto Izuru made Yamamoto Izuru feel very depressed. At the critical moment, the US military retreated? Did the other party have already noticed his intention? Yamamoto Izuru was a little nervous about this.

For this reason, Yamamoto Iroku had to contact Eira Koji and Tadukuni Natsumoto again, and confirmed that allied troops that had approached two divisions had landed in the north and east of Gorou Beach, while the Allied troops landed from Makichith Beach were less than a kilogram. If Tadukuni Natsumoto was willing, he could destroy these Americans at any time.

Yamamoto Iroku was constantly imagining the response measures of the US military, while tactical staff were nervously calculating the routes and possible responses needed by the huge US fleet.

Just half an hour later, when a battle plan appeared in front of Izuru Yamamoto, Izuru Yamamoto looked at Hei Xiang who had delivered the plan in surprise and said, "So quickly?"

Heizhuang held his legs with a slap and said, "I'm not waiting for you. The task of my combat staff is to clarify the context for the superior in the shortest time and provide basis and help for the superior's analysis.

Yamamoto Iroku nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, among you, you are the only one who is truly a general!"

While looking through the battle plan, Yamamoto Iroru suddenly asked: "Hei Su, what do you think of the decisive battle in front of you?"

Everyone in the war room looked at Hei Wei at once. "Ming Ming was stunned at first, and then replied in a solemn voice: "Report to your superiors, as a tactical staff, my duty is to analyze the various possibilities expected in the battle organization and process for you. I am not the chief of staff or the senior tactical secondary staff officer. My words and opinions are likely to mislead your subjective judgment. You are the decision-maker. We firmly obey your command and will achieve a brilliant victory under your command. This battle will surely win! Long live Commander-in-Chief Yamamoto!"

Akira Kurokawa's call was that the Great Japanese Empire would win, and he used the neither simple word "Long Live" after his title. Everyone present understood that everything before Akira Kurokawa was actually doing a show. The upright and muscular staff officer of the Hei Bing was actually such a speculator?

It can be said that Akira's words made Yamamoto Izuru feel like a savior of the Yamato nation. The building is about to collapse, will Yamamoto Izuru be the one who turns the tide?

Yamamoto Izuru pretended to scold Kurokazu "Akira. But the smile on his face had betrayed him. As a descendant of a samurai of the Longwang sect, Yamamoto Izuru has always had a heart that always keeps enterprising. He set his goal at a height that has not been reached by others. He believes that only in this way can he inspire himself to continue to make progress.

Yamamoto Iroji hesitated for a moment, and looked at Hei Xiang with a cold face. "Ming said: "It is simply an irresponsible to push everything to the chief. Go back to your cabin and recite the full code of combat staff. You should start your battle rotation in the evening."
