Nimitz hesitated for a moment and said to Song Xilian: "There are nearly 50,000 Japanese troops on Saipan. Your six divisions do not have an advantage in strength. Whether the battle can be resolved quickly is of great importance. I can only give you

You have a week to end the battle, and if you think you can complete the task, we are considering the next step."

Song Xilian nodded and said seriously: "I need the full support of the aviation force. Cloud explosive bombs and napalm incendiary bombs are indispensable auxiliary means for the attack. Please also cooperate with the naval gunfire to the maximum extent. If you have the above cooperation

If it takes five days, I only need five days to conquer Saipan."

Misette hesitated for a moment and said: "But General Song, I have to remind you that there are about 20,000 Japanese civilians on the island who have not been evacuated by the Japanese. The Japanese army has built three airports on Saipan. Asili in the south

Luo Airport was built in the 1930s. After expansion, it can now take off and land aircraft of any type. It is the main airport on the island. Nearby Chalanka

Noah Airport is an airstrip and can only take off and land small aircraft. Mapi Airport in the north has a shorter runway and serves as an alternate airport for emergency landings of fighter jets. These three airports are very important for combat. Please be sure to control the airport first, and

Protect the existing facilities at the airport to the greatest extent possible, and the navy’s heavy artillery will try not to fire at the airport.”

Song Xilian was slightly startled and said: "When the Japanese army attacks Shanghai, Nanjing and other coastal cities, they use heavy artillery to bombard our civilian residential areas. When it is our turn to attack, what civilians should we pay attention to? Whose theory is this? I would like to ask

Just a moment, Colonel Missett, should the U.S. Air Force also pay attention to civilian casualties when it bombs the Japanese mainland? Without the unity of the Japanese, how could the disaster of fascism have happened?

?So annihilating the Japanese, both mentally and physically, is the only effective way to quickly end the war. Our Chinese Expeditionary Force Commander, General Gao Fei, once said that only by quickly killing all the Japanese who dare to resist,

Only by shortening the duration of the war can we effectively reduce casualties and losses. Our main enemy is still in Europe, and we must use some means to defeat Japan quickly."

Holland Smith nodded and said: "On Guadalcanal, the Japanese army even chopped off the limbs of the prisoners of our 1st Marine Division and wore them with wooden sticks to warn our army. We don't need to think about these barbaric and violent beasts like Du Yu.

Humanitarianism, killing little Japanese and killing more little Japanese is what our Marine Corps should do. We should be like the Chinese Expeditionary Force, leaving no prisoners at all and annihilating them completely." The Anti-Japanese Blood Sacrifice

Nimitz looked helpless. Holland Smith was originally nicknamed a butcher, but he was a real butcher because he had several meat supply stores at home. When he was attending West Point Military Academy, he would go home during the holidays to help his father kill pigs.

Slaughter the cow, and Goofy's butcher is the real deal, the US military uses napalm

The plan for a large-scale air attack on the Japanese mainland was actually completed by Gao Fei, but this secret was only known to senior US military generals. Although this bombing was very inhumane, it was considered to be the beginning of this strategic bombing launched by the Japanese Prime Minister in Chongqing, the capital of China.

, so there is nothing wrong with bombing Japan now.

Gao Fei's troops were famous for never taking prisoners. Nimitz learned that Roosevelt's special envoy Waite had privately asked Gao Fei what to do if the German officers and soldiers were captured on the European battlefield? Gao Fei said directly without thinking about it on the spot: "Press

They will be given corresponding treatment according to their level, and they will be given unified treatment after the war."

They are also Axis powers. The Chinese army treats the Japanese army and the German army at almost two extremes. However, due to the numerous murders and nearly 10,000 large-scale organized massacres caused by the Japanese army in China, even for this

For Americans, whose movies emphasize gun-for-gun and tit-for-tat, the most they can do is turn a blind eye or close one eye.

Nimitz also had concerns about whether the Chinese amphibious landing force could defeat the Japanese defense on the island within a week, and finally decided to use the 27th U.S. Army Division to join the attack force formation on Saipan. The 27th Division planned

Song Xilian was given unified command, and the time limit for the start of the attack was also extended from one week to twenty-two days.

Because Holland Smith drove Nimitz, even with sufficient troops and fire support, his troops would need at least three to four weeks to capture Tinian and Guam. If the US military captured Tinian and Guam, it would take at least twenty

Two days, then if the Chinese expeditionary force goes to the fortress, the operation can be completed within a week.

Therefore, Nimitz proposed a compromise plan. Within the next week, the US aircraft carrier formation would set off from Majuro Atoll and attack the Japanese combined fleet that had retreated from Truk to the Palau Islands, forcing the combined forces to

The fleet once again retreated to the Lingga anchorage in Singapore. At the same time, the U.S. submarine force and the Chinese Expeditionary Force naval submarine force in Lushun were ordered to actively attack and strictly enforce

It severely damaged the sea transportation lines behind the Japanese army in the mainland and even Southeast Asia, causing the Japanese garrison in Mariana to gradually fall into an isolated and helpless situation, creating favorable conditions for the upcoming landing operation. Once Saipan is captured, the island will be expanded.

The air force's strategic bombing force entered the airport, and the main force of the navy, under the cover of the air force's land-based bombers, annihilated the participating forces of the combined fleet.

As for Saipan, Japanese Army General Hideyoshi Obata, who was in charge of the ground defense of Saipan, Tinian Island, and Guam, took a small boat to inspect Guam after being seen off by Lieutenant General Saito Yoshitsugu, commander of the 43rd Division.

, it can be said that the battle of the combined fleet

The strategic retreat gave Obata a very bad feeling. The country was blindly promoting the victory, but what Obata saw were indeed dilapidated battleships and severely damaged naval aviation units. It seemed that the combined fleet no longer existed.

Obata Hideyoshi was also indignant about the continued deception of the people in the country, especially the fact that the US military dispatched strategic bombers to use napalm incendiary bombs to bomb civilian residential areas. The military requested that all officers and soldiers be kept secret. It can be said that at a critical moment

The Military Headquarters and General Staff Headquarters seem to have given up supporting Saipan, or in other words, are simply unable to support Saipan.

The combined fleet is no longer able to take into account the coordinated defense of Saipan, Tinian, and Guam. Obata Hideyoshi knows that relying on less than a hundred fighter jets cannot last long. The final battle can only rely on the garrison itself, and once
