The amphibious land forces of the Chinese Expeditionary Force are the unrivaled elite troops of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. In addition, Song Xilian's daily supervision is favorable and has gained rich experience in amphibious landing operations in the Guadalcanal Islands. All officers and soldiers are very clear that the key to victory is to act quickly and decisively. Based on this tactical idea, their troops pay great attention to the cultivation of combat style and the training of combat will in daily training. Therefore, the Marine Corps' tenacious fighting style and tenacious fighting will are the first among the ground troops that carry out landing operations in the Pacific theater..cc|

During the first amphibious battle in the Pacific War Zone, the amphibious land forces of the Chinese Expeditionary Force were very powerful, and the Japanese army could not find the north. Especially during the period of hard work, the Japanese army even tried to avoid its edge. On the other hand, the US Army may have overemphasized the avoidance of casualties and rely too much on artillery fire support in daily training. When encountering Japanese attacks, they do not attack as bravely as the Chinese Expeditionary Force. They either detour or wait for artillery fire support. Sometimes a Japanese machine gun fire point can prevent the advance of a battalion of the US Army. These problems are undoubtedly revealed in the 27th Infantry Division of the US Army landing on Saipan Island, which is in charge of coordinated operations.

Song Xilian didn't want to attack the Americans' report, but the 27th Division of the US Army really affected the entire combat progress of Saipan. It was able to occupy the landing field within 24 hours, continuously defeating the Japanese war chariots to cover the counter-assault, and using naval heavy artillery and air bombing to weaken the vitality of the Japanese defensive and garrison troops. Within 24 hours, Song Xilian boldly did not transport materials and heavy equipment, but all the soldiers were transported. The landing officers and soldiers rely on the ammunition they carried. Song Xilian's purpose was to quickly oppress the Japanese front line, adopt the tactic of heavy artillery and bombing firepower blockade, and use the strategy of repeated clearing in the rear with the front line to advance the strategy of repeated clearing in the rear..cc|

Because Song Xilian judged that after the Japanese army suffered a heavy blow, it would inevitably be unable to organize its powerful counterattack within 72 hours, so he did not worry too much about the speed of landing materials and heavy firepower, because three days later, the personnel of the six divisions, together with weapons and equipment, would be completely unloaded and landed. Even if the Japanese army organized its large-scale counterattack, it would only waste its mobile troops and live power in vain.

However, what Song Xilian did not expect was that the commander of the Japanese Saipan defender, Yoshiji Saito, was almost the verbal of Hidera Ota. Hidera Ota ordered Yoshiji Saito to organize a counterattack immediately, but the 43rd Division of the Japanese army, which had heavy casualties, had no time to mobilize the troops. Before, he made two counterattacks of about 1,000 people in front of him to cooperate with the beachhead troops. The flares that occurred in the Chinese Expeditionary Force shone the night into daylight. The direct artillery fire of destroyers and cruisers parked more than 600 meters away from the coast completely crushed the Japanese attack. As a result, forty-seven Type 95, Type 97 and Type 1 tanks were all destroyed before the beachhead positions, and sporadic scattered soldiers fled into the jungle.

At this point, the five infantry brigades and independent chariot brigades deployed by the 43rd Division were wiped out. Saito Yoshiji was powerless even if he wanted to counterattack. Saito Yoshiji deployed most of his artillery on Mount Finasu, with Tapochoshan as the core of defense. However, the cloud explosion agent dropped by the Americans and the explosive bombs made Saito Yoshiji's previous decisive preparations failed. Not only did there have been casualties and injuries from more than 5,000 civilians and more than 3,000 soldiers, but more importantly, the destruction of ammunition and drug resources has made it impossible for long-term persistence.

The 60-kilometer beach along the Charancano area on the west coast of Saipan, all of which were occupied by the Chinese Expeditionary Force. The Japanese army's scheduled attack counterattack positions were only burnt corpses. The simple fortifications and permanent fortifications of the Japanese army could not stop the attack of napalm bombs. This was what the Japanese army did not expect at first. On a small island with narrow regions, the US military would use napalm bombs on a large scale as the main attack weapon. Fortunately, the Japanese army was carrying limited cloud explosion agents. Otherwise, after several regional blasts, more than 40,000 Japanese army and naval forces on Saipan would die in the stubborn resistance of the cave.

Yoshi Saito was no longer able to carry out counter-assault on the Chinese Expeditionary Force landed in the Charancano area of ​​Saipan's west coast. As long as the Chinese Expeditionary Force did not approach Mount Fenasu, the artillery positions he set up were useless. In the Saipan defense battle, the only remarkable thing was the Japanese Marine Corps, which had always performed poorly. In this counter-attack landing operation, they finally found a soft persimmon. This soft persimmon is the 27th Infantry Division of the US Army commanded by Major General Ralph Smith.

Although Tadaichi Nakumo was an expert in torpedo warfare and also ruined several powerful fighter jets of the Japanese Joint Fleet, during the battle between the 55th Naval Guard and Yokosuka 1st Special Marine Corps of the Command Headquarters and the landing US Army 27th Infantry Division, the 55th Naval Guard commanded by Major General Takano and Lieutenant General Yokosuka 1st Special Marine Corps of Fujita were all put into battle at night, and carried out night combat assaults on the landing US Army 27th Infantry Division from three directions.

Before the landing was launched, the US Pacific Fleet believed that the Japanese army would counterattack the amphibious Marine Forces of the Chinese Expeditionary Force that landed in the Charancano area of ​​the West Coast, which threatened them the most. The second batch of the 27th Infantry Division of the US Army, who had just landed, was said to be a surprise soldier. In fact, both Nimitz and the commander-in-chief of the US ground forces, Lieutenant General Holland Smith, and even Major General Ralph Smith, themselves knew that the Marine Corps did not trust the combat effectiveness of the Army, so they pushed them to Saipan. For the Marine Corps, the stupid army troops were the greatest contribution to combat.

Song Xilian did not understand the true combat effectiveness of the 27th Infantry Division of the US Army, but Song Xilian did not dare to give it a heavy responsibility for an army that Americans themselves did not trust. He said that according to the practice of commanding friendly forces, the most difficult task should be left to his own troops, so the 27th Division of the US Army was placed in an unnoticed corner, which was Natado Beach in the northeast of the island.
