There was no suspense about the ensuing battle. When more than three tons of napalm was poured into the tunnel in the unknown highland, Yamashita Douo had no choice but to issue a breakout order. However, with helicopters waiting around, this siege was not so easy to break out of. , under the suppression of Haidongqing attack helicopters, and waiting for the main support of the fifth brigade to come up, in the end, of the nearly 3,000 people in the Yamashita Regiment, only less than 1,000 successfully broke through, and the others were all shot to death in the tunnels and the hillside behind the sea. or be burned to death or suffocated in the tunnels,
When the pungent and choking smoke floated out from all over the unknown highland, and one or two miserable howls that did not sound like human voices occasionally came from the mountain, only about two and a half hours had passed since the fifth brigade landed on the island. Jin, Blake and Wynn looked at the cadets waving guns and cheering for victory on the top of the mountain. The three of them looked at me and I looked at you. They all saw shocked looks in each other's eyes. The Japanese troops in a regiment occupied a large area. Due to the favorable location, the Xuebing Army only dispatched the same number of troops, but ended up completing the "massacre" one-sidedly. It was a massacre. When Jin, Blake and Wynn wore gas masks and climbed to the top of the mountain, they looked at the unknown high ground with the sea behind them. The piles of corpses of Japanese soldiers on a hillside couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise. Even though they knew the power of helicopters, they still couldn't believe that such a ferocious Japanese army, a regiment of Japanese soldiers, could be killed by an army of the same size. The army was defeated as if it were a piece of shit,
"General Gong, congratulations." Wynn took the initiative to greet Gong Kaiqiao, saluted him, congratulated him and gave him a bear hug.
Gong Kaiqiao smiled naively, showing his white teeth, and said unwillingly: "It's a pity that we couldn't wipe them all out."
When Wynn heard this, he stumbled and almost fell down the mountain. Why did these words sound so harsh?
What surprised the Americans was yet to come. According to the statistics of the battle results, the Fifth Brigade only killed 65 people and seriously injured no more than 13 people. The number of Japanese soldiers they killed was no less than 1,500, including four assistants. A senior military officer is not afraid of not knowing what he is talking about, but he is afraid of comparing goods. The same applies to people. In the face of the cruel facts, the last bit of American modesty was torn apart.
After taking the unnamed high ground, the Allied forces had a strong enough forward position on Guadalcanal. The next thing was to repeat the process of the first Guadalcanal battle and drive all the Japanese troops and the South Asian Co-Prosperity Army into the sea, because the 114th Division was in The performance during the attack on the unnamed highlands was unsatisfactory, and the morale of the troops was hit hard. Next, Wynn did not take the initiative to ask for a battle, and Bai Liusu had no intention of borrowing from them. Therefore, the third Guadalcanal Battle completely entered the rhythm of the military army.
Lasting for one month and nine days, and experiencing more than fifty battles, the Third Battle of Guadalcanal finally ended in victory for the Allies. In the subsequent battles, Bai Liusu once again showed his superb command skills and saved about five people. There were about a hundred American prisoners of war who were captured by the Japanese during the Second Battle of Guadalcanal. For this reason, after the battle, MacArthur and King Ho jointly made suggestions to the White House, believing that in view of Bai Liusu's outstanding performance on the Pacific battlefield and the She should be awarded the Medal of Merit for the huge help she provided to the U.S. military. In a private letter to Roosevelt, MacArthur also publicly admitted for the first time that he believed that it was a mistake to oppose White Tassel to the Allied Marine Corps Command on gender grounds. "Ms. Bai Liusu has proved with her actions that women can survive on the battlefield and can also influence the outcome of a battle"; and pointed out that if the U.S. government can award Bai Liusu the Medal of Merit, it will definitely promote Domestic women's enthusiasm for joining the army, "What I am sure of now is that women are needed on the battlefield. I think, even from a gender perspective, if there are female soldiers in our army, then the male soldiers will definitely be more brave. ",
Two weeks after the Third Battle of Guadalcanal, on April 13, 1944, as Ouyang Yun signed his name on a combat plan, "Operation Frog Leap" was officially launched. First, China's Hainan Island At Qiongzhou Airport, following Tielin Fei's order, a total of 324 Golden Eagles of various types and 159 Sky Fortresses of various types began to glide into the sky from nine runways, and then quickly formed three clusters. , swept away to the southwest under the command of Xue Changkong. Afterwards, the aircraft carrier Wu Daotianwang, which had been cruising in the Indian Ocean, began to sail towards the Strait of Malacca under the command of Chen Yuanyang. At the same time, Sun Liren's expedition The three armies intensified their attacks on the Japanese defense line in Denver.
Since the "Sink It" operation, the Japanese naval generals headed by Yamamoto Isoroku have become wary of the bomber group operations of the Cadet Force, in order to prevent problems before they occur, and also to protect the golden waterway (that is, between Japan and Singapore) (water channel)), the Japanese combined fleet not only built enough air defense radars in coastal areas along the line, but also arranged enough patrol boats and submarines to conduct air defense inspections. Therefore, the fighter group commanded by Xue Changkong had just flown to Vietnam Near Nha Trang City, they were noticed by the Japanese army.
The relevant report was quickly submitted to Koizumi Toshiichiro. The little Japanese only noticed that there were a lot of descriptions about the number of enemy aircraft. Then he thought of the Takeotenno aircraft carrier fleet that frequently appeared in the Indian Ocean near the Strait of Malacca during this period. He immediately came to the conclusion that Ouyang Yun was preparing to launch a full-scale war in South Asia. He immediately sent a call to the Takejiu aircraft carrier fleet operating in the waters near the Munet Islands, asking them to retreat to Gupu immediately, and then sent a call to all parts of South Asia. The air defense forces were ready for battle. Finally, he called Yamamoto Isoroku. While reporting, he made a request and suggested that the base camp immediately launch counterattacks on all fronts except South Asia to relieve the pressure in South Asia.
At this time, Isoroku Yamamoto was cutting the ribbon for the launch of a Yamato-class aircraft carrier in Nagasaki. In the past, Yamamoto, a man of action, would have disdained to participate in such activities. However, because the morale of the people in Japan is relatively low now, in order to boost the morale of the people, However, he could only follow Mitsumasa Yoneuchi's advice and cooperate with news and propaganda work to restore the people's confidence in the country. When the adjutant presented Koizumi's telegram, Yamamoto had just put on his white gloves. After reading the telegram, the old Japanese looked gloomy. , not caring about the next ribbon-cutting, immediately returned to the car and summoned other accompanying staff members to discuss countermeasures.
Koizumi did not specify the number of incoming enemy aircraft and the target of the attack in the message. However, after experiencing the "sinking", Yamamoto, who had already left a shadow in his heart, would rather believe Koizumi's speculation than take it lightly. He is indeed a member of the Japanese Navy. Dinghai Shenzhen, although the information was incomplete, Yamamoto still made the wisest judgment and decision. A quarter of an hour later, he asked his communications staff to call back to Koizumi. First, he ordered him to protect the aircraft carrier of the Takeku aircraft carrier fleet at all costs, and then asked him to be vigilant. Enemies in the Indian Ocean and Indochina "should prevent the Chinese from making surprise attacks",
