Mocking the Year and the Month and Day. For Saipan, a "school" who can be called a paradise, it is definitely not a good day.

According to the records of Saipan, this day has become the "Bloody Day" in Saipan. Several thousand soldiers spoke different languages, races, beliefs, and with different purposes started an unprecedentedly tragic battle here.

Faced with the fierce attacks of the Allied forces on Saipan Island, Yamamoto Izuru, who was originally sitting firmly on Diaoyutai, was also a little restless. He thought that if the Allied forces encountered major casualties, they would temporarily stop attacking the island's targets using battle patrol formations and carrier-based aircraft. The battle for beachhead positions can be said to be the most important in the island landing war. Ben Izuru believed that only repeated struggles can consume the spirit of the Allied forces, and more importantly, it can consume a large amount of various material reserves of the Allied forces. Such a huge landing fleet is like an extremely complex machine. From combat troops to logistics support, to technical support and maintenance, if there is a problem in any of the links, then the normal operation of this machine will have problems, and what Yamamoto Izuru was waiting for was exactly the arrival of this moment.

As long as you are a person, you will make mistakes and be good at using your opponent's mistakes to increase your bargaining chips. This is exactly what Yamamoto Iroku is best at.

The main force of the joint fleet commanded by Yamamoto Isori has been hiding fifty nautical miles southeast of Tinian Island. This area was the most frequent visiting of US reconnaissance aircraft before the war. Yamamoto Isori believes in the old Chinese saying that the most dangerous place is also the safest place. Since landing in the war, US reconnaissance aircraft seem to have given up this sea area where no abnormality has occurred.

The currents and numerous reefs here are not suitable for mooring or for large ship fleets to pass through. The main force of the entire joint fleet is parked here. If it is discovered, the fate of annihilation of the Japanese Navy is only waiting for the joint fleet of the Japanese Navy. The things the Americans did not expect or dared not think about at all. The Japanese did it. Yamamoto Iroku's gambler nature once again performed a miracle. The first time it was in Pearl Harbor, and the second time it was here, Tinian Island!

The battle patrol formation led by the Yamato and Musashi battleships is the first attack echelon of the joint fleet. Their mission is to use the air guard blockade of US aircraft at night to directly strike the Allied landing clusters in the waters of Saipan. Using the Allied's concentrated air-sea advantage to strike air strikes in the battle patrol formations, four heavy aircraft carriers including Kaga and Dafengshu as the main force, and fighter jets to cover horizontal bombers and lightning strike aircraft to strike the US aircraft carrier formations, seize air supremacy in the waters of Saipan, and finally complete the encirclement and annihilation of the Allied landing clusters.

Yamamoto Iroku's plan is a desperate plan, and it wants to reach the entire northern fleet cluster and death ground of the Allied forces. Unfortunately, the Japanese base camp and Emperor Hirohito disagree with the use of the Yamato and Musashi battleships as the main force of the bait assault formation.

Yamamoto failed to make a decision, so he had no choice but to use the Nagasaki and the Yaeyama heavy cruiser as the main force of the assault. In this way, the battle patrol formation became a complete cruiser formation. Whether in terms of firepower or speed, the cruiser formation could not compete with the US Iowa-class battleship. Yamamoto Iroku expressed great concern about whether this cruiser formation could attract the full attention of the US military.

At the end of the afternoon, the Second Marine Division and the Fourth Marine Division of the US failed to occupy the beachhead.

Under the command of Tadaichi Nagamo, the Japanese special Marine Corps, despite the fierce and fierce support of the artillery fire of the US military, launched three consecutive counterattacks on the US military at the beach, trying to drive the US landing troops into the sea. The US Marine Corps faced the vicious Japanese colleagues and burst out with strong combat power in desperate situations. No one can save himself, he can only rely on himself, and the Marine Corps is God!

After taking off all his shirts and holding the Type 99 carbine, Japanese soldiers flocked out from the tunnels in front of the beachhead position like crazy. This Type 99 rifle is a new generation of military standard rifle improved and developed by the Japanese army based on the Type 38 Wangmm rifle.

Since the Type 38 rifles equipped by the Japanese army use clever millimeter guns and bullets to kill and have insufficient killing power. So the Japanese design department began to design a caliber ammunition with a caliber of slash millimeters. At first, the machine guns used only for the ammunition of this caliber were used, and later decided to be used for rifles. The Japanese Type 99 rifle was developed and equipped to fire 77 mm bullets, and its Type 99 rifle was finalized and put into production. The Japanese Era Concave Year (the old year of Showa) was put into service. Therefore, it was named the Type 99 rifle.

The Type 99 rifles are equipped with Type 99 carbine and other models. In fact, the combat shooting accuracy is basically the same as that of the Type 38 standard rifle, and the actual combat accuracy also meets the expected standards of the military. The 77mm bullets fired also use smokeless and flameless fire cotton firing drugs. However, the 77mm bullet is short and easy to roll after hitting the Japanese standard. Therefore, the Type 99 rifle's damage to the human body is greater than that of these Japanese military weapons such as the Type 30 and Type 38 rifles that use millimeter-caliber ammunition with greater damage to the human body than those of the Type 30 and Type 38 rifles that use millimeter-caliber ammunition with large rifles such as the Type 30 and Type 38 rifles with high mm caliber ammunition

The newcomers in the instrument system directly equipped the Southern Army on the Pacific battlefield in large quantities. The hoarse voice of the Japanese soldiers was like a beast howling. In conjunction with the muffled shooting sound of the Type 99 rifle, they rushed straight towards the US army. Facing the barrage shot by the US army, they still rushed over without hesitation. What made the US army frightened was that in the Japanese attack, many human bombs with explosives wrapped on their bodies were tied to the defense circle. As long as the human bombs rushed into the defense circle and detonated, a pound of the defense circle would appear.

The big gap, the tragic scene of flesh and blood flying across the world shocked the arrogant US Marines, who were previously very arrogant. Under the supervision of the sergeant or the chief officer, or in the push of the neck and kicking the butt, the Marines can fill the gap in panic. Once the non-commissioned officer or officer died, the recruits in the defensive area they supervised would fall into chaos.

However, hundreds of Japanese troops rushed into the US beach defense circle. The frightened recruits put down their weapons, but the Japanese army would not have any pity. The lethality of the short-edged bayonet was far greater than that of the 38 bayonet. At the critical moment of life and death, all the US troops went into battle, doctors, communication staff, wounded, senior officers, and all those who could still pick up weapons were involved in the counterattack against the Japanese army.

Amid the white smoke caused by the fire of weapons, soldiers from both Japanese and American soldiers were shot and wailed to the ground. The fierce and timely artillery fire of the US army blocked the Japanese counterattack forces, and the US army was able to survive on the beachhead. The huge casualties caused by the Japanese army's attack on the US beachhead also made Tadaichi Nagamoto continue to attack.

What made the US military happy was that among the four landing sites, only two landing sites on Gelu Beach were successfully taken. The 27th Infantry Division of the US had already landed ashore, but it was delayed from breaking through the second ridge line of the Japanese army. In contrast, the 10th and 10th Regiments of the 3rd Light Facility Division of the Chinese Expeditionary Force were brilliant in battle. They had completely cleared the beachhead positions and annihilated the forces of at least three Japanese squadrons. What was very helpless was that due to the lack of amphibious landing vehicles and landing crafts, the subsequent troops and materials could not be landed ashore. In the face of the upcoming night, the 3rd Light Facility Division of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, which was the only successful rush to seize the beach, was about to face the crazy counterattack of the Japanese army.

Moreover, the Chinese army landed in the landed also suffered heavy casualties. The 10th Regiment, as the main force of the first attack, endured the most fierce firepower of the Japanese army. When seizing the first traffic trench, several hand-to-hand combat broke out with the Japanese army. Before the war, the only remaining combatants of the main force of the two-person A group of the main force of the war could only be composed of: Jin Xiao Company. What made Liang Chao most heartbreaking was that a large number of wounded soldiers died because they could not be transported. If the St. Mary's rushing to the beach brought a large amount of ammunition and supplies to the beach head troops, the beach head troops commanded by Liang Chao would now be in a state of exhaustion of ammunition and food.

The number and speed of losses of armored vehicles and landing crafts shocked the US military and was also caught off guard. The Chinese Expeditionary Force, which had the least capacity, was in extreme passive conditions to tackle the only attack. This gave the US military from high-level to grassroots officers and soldiers another intuitive and profound understanding of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

In the old afternoon, when Liang Chao commanded his troops to seize the central fortress line of the second Japanese defense line in the afternoon, Turner and a group of senior US military officers came to the Knights. Due to the unexpected failure of the beach grab, all the plans and plans formulated before had to face rectification.

On the Knight, Turner and senior US military officers witnessed a scene that would never forget in front of the high-power observation mirror in the observation room. In the smoke of explosions, Chinese soldiers rushed bravely under the guidance of the military flag, defeating the Japanese army's several counterattacks launched from the flanks. In the rain of bullets at the core position of the Japanese army, Chinese soldiers stepped on their companions' bodies, advancing one meter a meter apart like waves, and the flagbearers rushing in front were frequently replaced. The military flag, which was already full of bullet holes, was still flying high. Just like the fighting will of Chinese soldiers, without compromise or retreat.

Finally, the military flag was planted on the Japanese position, and the Chinese soldiers also crossed the top of the mountain. At this time, the US generals, including Turner, breathed a sigh of relief. They all realized that they were sweating profusely with nervousness.

When he visited a few lucky wounded people in the field hospital of the Knight, Turner soon discovered a scene that shocked him. Some of the lightly wounded men sat in the corridor, pressed scattered bullets into the magazine one by one, and then placed the magazine aside, especially a Chinese soldier with gauze covered in gauze, groping to press the bullets. The firm expression on the tender face of the Chinese soldier made everyone feel respectful. John Tom, a reporter with the fast-handedness of the military, immediately took a picture of this extremely shocking scene.
