Chapter five hundred and ninety-six attack aircraft

When the US military airport began to use transport planes to transport supplies to Okinawa, the US military's nightmare began...

The US military transport plane full of ammunition and supplies had just landed at the airport and was transporting ammunition down, when he suddenly heard bursts of exclamations and gunshots. Two planes were seen drilling out of somewhere and flying quickly at a low altitude that was almost sticking to the top of the mountain. Then, without any hesitation, they plunged into the pile of ammunition that had just been unloaded...

A "boom" fire broke out, and the flames generated by the explosion spread to hundreds of meters away. Several nearby transport planes and fighter planes quickly ignited fireheads and then bursts of explosions.

"What's going on?" Lieutenant General Buckner, commander of the 10th Army of the US, watched the fires rising into the sky at the airport at the command center, and felt something was wrong.

"General!" Staff Hogg ran into the command center and reported: "It is the Japanese suicide attack aircraft!"

"Suicide attack aircraft?" Buckner said in confusion: "We have already blew up their airports and paralyzed, aren't we? And... why aren't the Japanese suicide attack aircraft targeting warships?"

It is not said that suicide attack aircraft must target warships, and this is the cleverness of Niujima Man... He knew that the Japanese army attacked the US military with suicide attack aircraft in the Philippine naval battle, which already had considerable defense.

At the same time, most of the suicide attack aircraft that the Japanese army drove during the Battle of the Wright Bay were fast fighters, and the pilots also had considerable qualities... Most pilots who drove suicide attack aircraft mostly went through two to three years of flight training. Although they were still rookies from the perspective of the pilot, they were so-called civil aircraft under Niushima Manta’s so-called

"Pilot", his quality is countless times better.

Therefore, Niujima Man doesn't hope to use these suicide attack aircraft to sink US warships. He knows that if he does this, he will only send suicide attack aircraft to the US military as a target... Niujima Man knows the air defense power of US warships. Not only does the US military have anti-aircraft guns with near-explosive fuses, but also fighter jets with super-performance, which will cause the attack aircraft to be destroyed on the way.

What’s more important is... what can you do if you destroy one, two or even destroy the US aircraft carriers? Can it affect the battle situation in Okinawa?

The answer is no.

However, if the landing US military uses suicide attack aircraft to destroy its supplies, it can attack the US military.

Immediately afterwards, before Buckner could react, several explosions came one after another... At this time, the US tank troops were under attack.

The US "Sheerman" tank is a famous "lighter" that is hit by a plane and quickly caught fire and exploded... In a blink of an eye, five "Sheerman" tanks in the US military ignited a raging fire.

Fortunately, the Japanese aircraft carried not much gasoline, otherwise there might be more tanks affected... The blocked Japan was using pine root oil instead of gasoline at this time, so every time it sent a suicide attack aircraft, it only installed almost the amount of oil that could attack the target.

Then a more serious accident occurred.

Because the US military's progress was too smooth, many US troops were neglected to prevent the situation. Logistics troops piled up the gasoline transported to the ashore in the forest at will. Two suicide attack aircraft seized this opportunity and dived towards them... One of the attack aircraft was shot in the air by anti-aircraft machine guns and then fell to the ground and exploded into pieces. The other aircraft rushed to the gasoline barrel with black smoke. Then with a "boom", the entire forest turned into a sea of ​​fire.

"Organize air defense!" Buckner shouted.

This can be said to be Buckner's mistake. He always thought that after landing, he would have to face the enemy's attack from the ground. At the same time, he believed that the US military had already mastered air supremacy, so he never expected such a situation.

But it was too late to organize air defense at this time. Fighters came out from unexpected places of the US military, and then rushed towards the target without hesitation...

These suicide attack aircraft are actually similar to missiles from modern warfare. The only difference is that missiles in modern warfare are automatically controlled, while these Japanese suicide attack aircraft are controlled by humans.

The advantage of these "missiles" is that the US military is in the plains in central Okinawa, and the Japanese army is in the hilly areas in the south. The "missiles" can suddenly emerge from behind the hills and appear in front of the US military, and then dive to the target at a high speed. In other words, even if the US military organizes air defense, they only have a few seconds of reaction time.

"What a fucking hell!" Buckner cursed in the explosions one after another: "Where did these Japanese planes take off? Where did our fighter planes go?"

It was not controlled until several US military "Hellcat" fighters appeared over Okinawa and shot down several attack aircraft.

"General!" Staff Hogg, who was guarding the radio station, reported to Buckner: "The information obtained from the pilots was probably taken off from the hidden runway... Because many of these aircraft are civil aviation aircraft, and the runway requirements are low, and often only require a straight road to take off!"

"They all took off from the south, right?"

"Yes, General!"

"So..." Buckner said: "Their main force is distributed in the south!"

After thinking about it, Buckner ordered: "Order the 383rd Regiment to attack south immediately!"

"yes!"

Buckner made things simple. He thought that the US military could capture the Keirama Islands so easily and land, so it would not be difficult to attack the south of Okinawa... Buckner was very confident in the heavy tanks of the US military.

But I don’t know if I don’t fight, and I only know if I hit, the situation is not as he thought.

The hilly terrain itself is not suitable for tank combat, and Niujima Man set up complete fortifications in the south... This fortification is not an ordinary fortification, but Niujima Man used the "reverse incline" tactic for the first time in order to offset the super firepower of the US military.

The so-called "reverse incline" tactic is to actively abandon the forward incline of the mountain... Although the defense on the forward incline can be condescending to attack the enemy, it also has to face the bombing of powerful tanks, artillery, machine guns, even naval guns and aircraft.

However, if the fortifications are abandoned and the fortifications are built on the reverse incline, although the enemy can easily attack the top position from the forward incline, all the cover firepower will be in effect in an instant, and they can only bear it face to face. Although the Japanese army lost the geographical advantage of "conquering the upper hand", this can be filled with fortifications and tunnels, so they can gain considerable advantages.
