Shima Katsuzo's Zero fighter took advantage of its fast climbing characteristics to occupy the commanding heights in the air, and continuously fired at the American P-40 "Tomahawk" fighter jets below. After a while, Shima Katsuzo killed three "Tomahawks" in a row, and he was excited. kept shouting long live.
In air battles, Japan's Zero fighters were more useful than the American Tomahawk fighters. After a while, more than a dozen U.S. Army Air Force fighters had been killed by Zeros, while only two Zeros were lost.
The US military fighter planes had no choice but to escape, so the Japanese transport aircraft flew over San Marino Island and began to airdrop. White umbrella flowers fell from the sky. It can be seen that the landing point of the Japanese paratroopers was around the main peak of San Marino Island.
Seeing this, Xu Rui frowned and said: "Give me all the light and heavy machine guns to shoot into the sky and use them as anti-aircraft machine guns. I will make it impossible for these Japanese paratroopers to come and go!"
"yes!"
A moment later, fierce gunfire rang out throughout San Marino Island. Nearly a hundred light and heavy machine guns fired into the sky, and Langya's snipers also began to massacre the Japanese paratroopers.
"Snapped!"
One shot to the head.
Ergazi was having fun, holding his beloved sniper rifle in his hand and once again aiming at the next Japanese paratrooper.
"Ergazi, your shooting skills have improved a lot." Digua praised.
Ergazi said: "The little devils who fall from the sky like this are living targets. If you can't hit them, I will have learned the gun for so many years in vain."
"Pa!" Digua also fired a shot into the air. The shot hit a Japanese paratrooper in the chest. The Japanese soldier straightened up and fell directly to the ground.
"Look at me!"
The Siberian tiger held a Gatling in his hand and swiped wildly at the sky, directly beating several paratroopers into sieves.
"It's so damn enjoyable!" the Siberian tiger laughed.
Under the fire of anti-aircraft machine guns and rifles, these Japanese paratroopers became living targets one by one, and some were killed every moment. Of course, there were also a few lucky Japanese paratroopers who successfully landed. However, as soon as they landed, they became Prisoners of the Third Regiment.
After an hour of fighting, the 500 Japanese paratroopers airborne were wiped out by the third regiment, and the third regiment won the victory.
"Moses Moses, our troops are surrounded by enemy troops and the situation is extremely critical!"
"Hold on, I will send planes to assist in the battle..." A Japanese commander kept shouting on the Kaohsiung, the flagship of the Japanese Second Fleet.
Vice Admiral Kondo Nobutake grabbed the microphone and said loudly: "I am the Commander-in-Chief of the Second Fleet, Nobutake Nobuto. I order you to persevere. Reinforcements will be here soon!"
"But general, we..."
"Tap-tat-tat..." A series of fierce gunshots came from the microphone, and then a blind tone of "beep, beep..." came from the microphone.
Kondo Nobutake knew that his airborne troops were finished.
"Bagaya Road! Order, the bomber group immediately takes off from the aircraft carrier to bomb San Marino Island. The main guns of each ship launch carpet bombardment. I will kill all the American troops on San Marino Island!"
"Hai..."
"boom!"
"Boom!"
Dozens of light and heavy cruisers began to bombard San Marino Island again. Large-caliber naval guns exploded and shook the entire San Marino Island.
At this time, Xu Rui and his troops completely abandoned their surface positions and entered the underground fortifications that had been dug on the island. Although the shells caused the entire island to tremble, the strength of the third regiment did not suffer any loss.
The bombing went on for a full hour, and the entire island of San Marino was in a mess. There were trees broken by the shells and craters as deep as one person. Almost all the surface buildings were destroyed, which looked shocking.
At this time, after a long period of operation, the Japanese minesweepers finally succeeded in clearing the mines on the main channel. Two Japanese heavy cruisers and four troop carriers had already approached the shore of San Marino Island. Come up.
"boom!"
A loud noise was heard, and the Japanese transport ship opened. However, the swarming scene that people imagined did not appear. On the contrary, bursts of roar of motors sounded from the transport ship, and then dozens of strange-looking vehicles appeared. The tank, which looks like a tank but can move on the water, rushed out of the transport ship and headed towards the shore.
"Oh my god, the Japanese actually have a tank that can drive in the water!" Digua shouted from the fortifications on the mountain.
Xu Rui looked solemn. He knew that in this era, real amphibious tanks had just appeared, but the lvt tanks currently used by the US military were only amphibious armored assault vehicles. This Japanese amphibious tank was the first in the world. An amphibious tank.
"That's the Japanese special type II internal fire boat." Xu Rui filtered his mind and finally remembered the name of the Japanese amphibious tank.
"What a weird name." Digua said.
Xu Rui said: "This is the translated name, which is the abbreviation of the special type 2 internal combustion engine boat. The internal combustion engine boat is nominally a boat. In fact, it can float on its own, has a water propulsion device, and can maneuver on water and land, so it is the world's largest internal combustion engine boat. The first true amphibious tank."
"Captain, you are so awesome, you even know this." Digua said.
Xu Ruixin said that I came here through time, so of course I knew everything, but he concealed it by saying, "I saw this tank in a secret document captured by the Japanese, so I only knew about it."
"Commander, these tanks are a big trouble for us. With the support of these tanks, the Japanese will have very powerful firepower." Digua said.
Xu Rui chuckled and said, "Look, the show is about to begin!"
"Huh?" Everyone didn't understand what Xu Rui meant and looked out through the lookout and shooting holes...
Dozens of Japanese special-type II fire boats advanced on the water. Behind them were thousands of Japanese infantry. These infantrymen rode in small boats and kept approaching.
"Lao Xu, fire!" Leng Tiefeng said.
"Don't worry, just pull over our rocket launchers. They'll come in handy soon."
"Okay!" Leng Tiefeng said.
As the Japanese tanks approached, the soldiers became nervous.
"Buzz..."
The Japanese special-type II fire boats finally landed on the beach one after another. However, at this moment, an unexpected scene occurred. These tanks stopped one after another. Although there was thick smoke and the motors roared, they still could not move towards the beach. Take one step forward.
"How could this happen?" Even the soldiers of the third regiment were stunned.
Xu Rui chuckled and said, "Now you know why I asked you to dig the ground. It's for now!"
Everyone suddenly realized, yes, the soil on the beach had been turned over, and the sinking was half a meter deep. Now after being soaked in sea water, the beach area is now completely a swamp and quagmire. No matter how powerful the enemy's chariot is, it can only You can get stuck in it and be unable to take a step forward.
At this time, the Japanese special-type II fireboats were stuck on the beach one by one. Although they were constantly emitting thick smoke, they could not move forward. The Japanese soldiers who came ashore in small boats were also unable to move forward. OK, a few Japanese soldiers wanted to push the tank, but their feet were stuck in the mud and couldn't be pulled out. The whole beach was in chaos.
"It's time to begin!"
Xu Rui put down his telescope, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. The next moment, a group of soldiers emerged from the tunnel entrance near the beach with rocket launchers. The rocket launchers aimed at the Japanese tanks and then pulled the trigger.
"Whoosh~"
"Whoosh~"
One rocket after another dragged a long white tail flame towards the special type II internal fire boat on the beach.
"boom!"
"boom!"
At this time, the Japanese special-type II fire boats could not even move. They became completely living targets, constantly turning into balls of burning flames. One after another, they were destroyed by rockets, without even the slightest ability to resist.
"Damn, why is the little devil's chariot so thin? It will explode as soon as you hit it." Digua said with a smile.
Xu Rui said: "Although the Japanese special type II internal fire boat has some attack power and a 37 mm caliber main gun, the front armor is only 12 mm thick and the sides are 10 mm thick. It is like a thin-skinned coffin or a rocket." The bullets can easily destroy their weak armor, not to mention that they can't move at all now, so they are simply living targets."
"Captain, you are really smart. You actually thought of this move to deal with the Japanese chariots in advance. Otherwise, the Japanese will definitely attack the island under the cover of the chariots, and then it will be extremely difficult for us to defend. "He Shuya on the side said.
"Captain, the Japanese abandoned their tanks and the infantry began to land on the island alone!" Du Junjie said.
Xu Rui took the telescope from Zhuoligetu, took a look at it, put down the telescope and said: "Order the artillery to bombard the beach immediately!"
"yes!"
On the top of the mountain, ten 150mm-caliber howitzers temporarily assigned to the Third Regiment took off the camouflage on the guns and began to blast at the beach.
At this time, more than two thousand Japs had gathered on the beach. They kept crawling and rolling in the muddy swamp. Every move was extremely difficult. At this time, artillery shells were booming from the sky. Each of these Japs could not even hide. Unable to hide, he settled directly.
Half an hour later, two thousand mutilated corpses and the wreckage of more than fifty amphibious vehicles covered the entire beach. The Japanese troops who landed were almost completely wiped out.
Seeing this scene, the officers and soldiers of all three regiments were stunned. No one thought that Xu Rui's tactics were so effective. They only dug down half a meter of beach soil, and it had such a good effect.
"Captain, you are really a genius, you actually thought of this way to deal with the Japanese." Du Junjie said.
"I always thought that after so many years of training, I was almost the same as the leader, but now it seems that the difference between me and the leader is still too far." He Shuya said with a long sigh.
Leng Tiefeng also said: "Old Xu, how did you come up with this trick? This is simply a genius idea."
Xu Rui chuckled and said nothing. He naturally did not say that this was not his own initiative. In another time and space, during the same landing operation in the Pacific, a Japanese officer used the same method to severely damage the US military. He was just learning from it. Just use Japanese methods to deal with the Japanese themselves...
