Before dawn, the pilots of the Cactus Air Force were already having breakfast. "Oh," Ron sighed as he swallowed the last bit of bread in his hand and looked at the can of Spam luncheon meat in front of him.

It's almost impossible to survive. Now there is only Spam. Even the bread and beef nai are gone. Don't even think about fresh vegetables. There is only Spam to eat! The chefs will fry Spam for breakfast.

Tom, grilled spam for dinner, spam as meat filling in tortillas for dinner, and spam pie the next morning... God knows where the logistics quartermaster got so much spam, he must have

Ordered by the bucketful. Spam stew, spam steaks, and spam grease!”

If the Japanese soldiers of the Maruyama Division who were trekking in the dense forest heard such complaints, they would probably faint with envy. Historically, after the complete defeat of the Battle of Guadalcanal, the Japanese army used high-speed destroyers to pick up some surviving soldiers.

Army officers and soldiers. It is said that after a certain soldier got on the ship and had something to eat, he sighed to the navy man and said: "The navy is better. I will definitely let my son join the navy in the future." The navy man said: "Oh, I am.

It’s not easy for us, and there are many people who have died.” As a result, the person replied, “No matter how many people die, there are no people who starve to death?”

However, the living standards of the US military on the island have indeed declined. Japan's combined fleet once again deployed 5 aircraft carriers, 4 battleships, 4 heavy cruisers, 2 light cruisers, 31 destroyers, and 269 carrier-based aircraft

The aircraft surrounded the entire Solomon Sea. As a result, the Americans had supply problems. Even the living standards of the pilots were affected to a certain extent. As for ordinary Marines, the impact was even more obvious. But a good

The phenomenon is that the morale of the troops is not bad now. They are encouraged by good news: the Navy asked General Halsey to take over General Gormley's post. He listened to Vandergrift's report on the situation on Guadalcanal in Noumea.

And promised Vandergrift: "I will give you all my wealth!"

General Halsey has always been known as the "Barbarian Bull" because of his courage and daring to fight. Later historians often compared him with Patton of the Army, calling Halsey the Patton of the sea and Patton the Patton of the land.

Halsey. But in fact, the difference between the two people is still very obvious. Patton is called the bloody general by later generations, but if compared with Halsey, it can only be called false boldness. Although this guy often said: "

Ever since that idiot said something about protecting the flanks, every coward has been covering his butt tightly." But in fact, Patton himself had never exposed his butt, and he did the same in every battle.

His flanks are well protected. Lao Ha is different. Ever since he led the fleet to air raid Tokyo, this guy has never seriously protected his ass. His principle has always been: before you beat my ass.

, spank your ass even worse. In order to spank your ass, I am not afraid of my own ass being spanked! Later in Leyte Gulf, he beat the last bit of strength of the United Fleet to pieces, but accidentally, he almost himself

His butt was also beaten. Fortunately, the one opposite was "Escape Kurita" who loved to retreat.

Ron knew that General Nimitz and his boss, Admiral King, were letting Halsey out now because he dared to risk his ass to a pulp to beat Yamamoto's ass to pieces. Considering that

The United States has an overwhelming advantage in industry. Although there are still more Japanese aircraft carriers than the United States in the ocean, it is still appropriate to have a main battle with the Japanese army. Just like the great naval admiral, the soul of the British Royal Navy - Huo

As Rasho Nelson said: "Even if we are defeated, they will not be able to take action for at least half a year." In another six months, the staggering number of new warships on the American slipway will be gone.

It's like playing chess. You use a horse to exchange someone's rook. You are feeling proud, but you find that the other person took two more rooks out of his pocket and put them on the chessboard. Damn, what's next?

What? There's no point in going to Xu Yinchuan. Halsey is here just to have this kind of exchange with Japan.

After barely having a full meal and taking a short rest, Ron will go on a combat mission again. Otherwise, after a while, the Japanese will launch an air strike again.

In fact, the current Japanese air raids are basically to hold back the Cactus Air Force so that more people and supplies can land. Just like yesterday, a large group of Japanese aircraft came over in a mighty manner. Ron was still thinking about it

I'll catch a few more today and try to get twenty in the morning. As a result, the Japanese plane didn't even think about serious fighting. When it was almost there, the escorting fighter jets continued to fly forward, while the bomber actually turned a corner.

Went back directly.

In the firefight with these Zero Fighters that did not need to protect the bombers, the Cactus still had the upper hand. But it was not as easy as before. They shot down 10 Zero Fighters, (ground fire shot down another 3) and lost 6 of their own.

p-38, fortunately the pilots were saved.

However, precious time was wasted in this way. The plan to bomb the enemy transport ship was ruined. In order to have time to burn the beach, Ron decided to advance the breakfast time and try to let as many people as possible before the Japanese plane arrived.

The plane goes to the beach for a spin.

When Ron took off in the plane, the sky was still full of stars. But the lights at the airport could be turned on now, and the bombardment fleet must have moved far away by now.

And when they flew to the beach commonly used by the Japanese army in advance, Ron immediately discovered that "the early bird catches the worm" is really a wise saying - there were two Japanese transport ships on the sea not far from the beach that had not had time to get far.

Where's the boat?

Although the P-38 has a large bomb load, it cannot do large-angle dive bombing, so it is far inferior to the Dreadnought in bombing moving targets. However, these two ships are not protected by escort ships at all, so Ron can boldly use them

Bullying them with ricochet bombing. Ron quickly lowered his altitude and jumped towards a transport ship.

Through the front windshield, Ron saw fire starting to flash on the transport ship, but judging from the size of the flames, it was probably Japan's Type 93 13.2mm high-shelf machine gun. This high-shelf machine gun couldn't shoot like this.

Far, obviously the guys up there are very unprofessional.

The Type 93 13.2mm high-altitude machine gun did not have a high fire speed, and the number was not large, so it did not put any pressure on Ron at all. Press the bomb release lever gently, and a 500-pound bomb dropped from Ron's gun.

The belly of the fighter plane fell down.

The commander of the transport ship, Sakai Keiji, looked puzzled as the enemy plane dropped the bomb at a place that was obviously much farther away. "How can it hit the target like this?" He thought like this and breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly,

His eyes were so wide that they almost burst out of their sockets (in classical Chinese, the canthus was split open).

The bomb hit the water - but didn't sink or explode - it bounced up on the water, continued to fly forward, then landed on the sea in front, then bounced up again, like a

The ball landed on the floor and bounced towards the transport ship.

Sakai Jinji violently turned the rudder to one side, but everything was too late. The bomb directly hit the side of the transport ship. The huge explosion threw Sakai Jinji upward... When Sakai woke up, he found that the entire

The boat had tilted severely, with a big hole in the side, and sea water was rolling in. "Abandon ship! Everyone abandon ship!" Sakai reluctantly climbed up and shouted loudly.

The two transport ships were quickly resolved. Although the sun had not yet fully risen, the sky in the east was already fiery red and the visibility was getting better.

Moved to the beach, and sure enough, there was a large group of yellow ants moving on the beach. Ron's Vulcan cannon roared mercilessly at them. The ants below immediately threw away what they were holding and fled in all directions. Hey

, what is that? Why are there still some flower ants? Look carefully, they seem to be some women.

"God, are the Japanese so hungry and thirsty? They sent all the comfort women here?" Ron began to think about some content that was not suitable for children, "I didn't know these hungry people..."

These women helping to carry things on the beach are indeed Japanese Army comfort women. But they are all of the lowest grade, recruited from North Korea, Taiwan, and Manchuria. It is said that sending them to the island was the idea of ​​a famous staff officer. Once they come, they can

To boost morale, secondly, you can also work as a laborer. Thirdly...

When someone raised objections to the staff plan: "The soldiers have been hungry for a long time, how can they still have the strength? Besides, the food on Guadalcanal is already in short supply, how can we send a lot of food that cannot be fought and consume food?"

The woman goes up?!"

"We need this because we have been hungry for too long." A staff officer showed a rather strange smile, "Seeing them, even if the soldiers have no strength to do anything for the time being, they will feel that victory is in sight. Otherwise, how could we kill them too?

Send it to the island?”

After allowing time for the questioner to think about it, a certain staff officer saw that his opponent's lips seemed to be opening again, so he showed a devilish smile: "You idiot, you want to talk about wasting food again? Hahahaha..." He

Suddenly he laughed sharply, so that the officers next to him looked over at them. "I can guarantee you that they will not consume too much food, because they themselves are part of the food reserve..."

Jin Shuji was among these comfort women who came to the island. Of course, she still knew nothing about the terrible fate arranged for them by a certain staff officer. When she first landed on the island, she noticed that the soldiers on the island were very weak, and she felt

I am a little lucky and a little confused at the same time. Fortunately, the soldiers are so weak that my life may be relatively easy. What I am confused about is: Why did they send this group of people to the island?

When an officer ordered them to carry supplies, she thought she had the answer. They could provide some special services and serve as coolies. This might be the reason why they were sent here.

But the matter was obviously not as simple as just selling some coolies. Not long after she started working, American planes appeared in the sky. Those planes rushed over with a terrifying roar, and then she saw bombs falling and flames shooting into the sky. On the beach

There was a chaos, and people threw away their things and ran into the woods. Some people who were further away from the woods simply fell to the ground and pretended to be dead.

It was the first time that Jin Shuji encountered an air raid. Such a scene made her completely overwhelmed. She stood there blankly, watching people running away in panic in front of her eyes.

A plane flew straight towards her. She saw fire flashing on the plane and heard a terrifying sound like an electric drill. Countless fire snakes passed over her head, and then

The sound of 20mm shells hitting the beach came from behind her. Turning around numbly, her eyes were filled with dust stirred up by the shells, and her ears were filled with various sounds that were either weak or violent.

A miserable cry...

After trekking hard in the dense forest for several days, Maruyama finally admitted that although the imperial army could always overcome all difficulties, this time, no matter what, he would not be able to arrive as scheduled on the 22nd. His soldiers were already weak.

After such a high-intensity march, people continued to fall behind. Needless to say, everyone knew the fate of these stragglers. Later, they also saw these people again. When they were forced to retreat, these were the remains of these people.

They lost their road sign. And all his cannons were lost. A few of them sank in the swamp, and a few more were broken while climbing the mountain. They just encountered a cliff, and they couldn't find anything that could be used after searching around.

The last two cannons were abandoned after the cannons had safely passed. According to the predictions of the division map room, at the current speed, the division would not be able to reach the attack launch site until the 24th at the earliest. So Maruyama had no choice but to inform Hyakutake.
Chapter completed!
