The vast ocean is the only scenery in front of me, and Taro Takemoto looked at this familiar scenery and seemed to be very numb about his own life in a foreign country. ↖ He accepted the country's call a year ago and entered the army to serve as a glorious Japanese Imperial infantry, but was sent to a small island on the front line and stationed in a supply port.

He knew that he didn't have any skills. If he wanted to be called the main army, he heard that he would go to a remote China, kill people there, and see the blood before he could be seen by the several main divisions. On the selection of more elite infantry. However, Taro Takemoto was not willing to fight for the so-called elite name of the army, because those so-called elite infantry, he saw too much.

As a soldier stationed on the island, he had seen the friendly troops known as the Horse Division on the dock of this small supply port. Majestic and majestic, standing in a queue, carrying a pile of luggage and distribution supplies, carrying a long 38-type rifle, it looked very spiritual. These troops are also equipped with a large number of machine guns and tossing barrels, and even large field equipment such as mountain cannons. Taro Takemoto sometimes sometimes learns the officers who carry command knives with their companions on duty, the kind of high chin Eyeless look.

But within a few days, they would see these familiar faces frustrated by the navy being sent back to the island to rest and recuperate from the transport ships and destroyers. The soldiers who were originally well equipped seemed to lose their souls. The crying and yelling movements made the whole island restless at night.

A few troops can bring back some rifles, but most of them have no ammunition. Everyone was curious about what kind of battle they had experienced on the far front, but the big men were scornful about this. The officers did not allow the soldiers to talk privately about the battle on the front, so the information they got was very limited. .

However, Taro Takemoto still knew that the fighting on the front was getting worse. In the first two months, there were some officers and men who came down from the navy ship to recuperate. They went to a nearby hotel and a comfort station to reveal some so-called internal information. They claimed that they had sunk a certain US warship in the waters of the Solomon Islands, or boasted that on a certain island the Imperial Army had successfully repelled the American offensive.

But recently everyone has been very silent, and even these partial victories have begun to shut up. Everyone just silently did what they should do. Until this time, the news of failure could not be concealed. Hundreds of thousands of wounded people were sent by transport ships, all of them from the front islands. For these wounded soldiers, all this was lucky, because Taro Takemoto soon discovered that the islands where fighting broke out in the later period , There is simply no way to transport the wounded.

Takemoto's name is Taro, a tradition of Japanese names. Taro is the boss, and his second son is Jiro. So if you maliciously speculate based on habitual thinking, the name Yamamoto 56 is actually very happy, isn't it? As the eldest son of the family, Taro Takemoto was not willing to be sent to the front like those so-called elite troops. He hoped that he could continue to serve in the rear and continue to serve until the end of the war-not every Japanese wants to donate blood. At least when it fails.

It is a pity that his good wishes have been completely broken by the cruel reality, because just two days ago, the defensive headquarters on this island received an order. This 280 division as a reserve team must start on this island. Build bunkers and fortifications for defense. Everyone started to do physical work, including digging tunnels, bunkers made of stones and dirt, and breast walls.

Another transport ship arrived at the harbour, one team after another wearing new military uniforms, and generally looking very young supplementary soldiers, as their squad leader and sergeant walked down the ladder. These soldiers are obviously different from the elite who were sent to the front, because even the soldier who has not been on the front line, Takamoto, can see that these people are new recruits, and they are newer than his new recruits. Recruits.

The war not only made the population resources of Germany and the Soviet Union nearly exhausted, but in fact the most exhausted was Japan in the Far East. The island country itself does not have much strength to expand. The bad luck is that they chose China ’s vast opponents as soon as they started, and then directly fought against the world ’s top power-playing games only chooses the difficult mode, sometimes you have to admire The Japanese are such deadly and powerful senior players.

"Ishida-kun ... here is about to be the frontline." A Japanese army lieutenant put his hands on his back and said to a man wearing the rank of major general of the landing army behind him. Defeated, even the most basic courage to support our operations is gone. The navy suggested that we abandon this island, but the army headquarters, I hope we can continue to stay here for three months ... "

"Lord General! I understand that Ishida is ready to coexist and die with this island! My 280 division will follow me the most and fight to the last soldier!" The major general bowed down. And made a deep bowing gesture: "Xiaguan's family in Kyoto, please, please tell them that I am for the glory of the Great Japanese Empire and insisted to the last moment."

The old general sighed, and then continued: "If you are here, I will be relieved. Please Ishida-kun ... You must stick to three months. This is related to the Great Japanese Empire. In the battle of the National Games, you, me, and everyone should not be lucky. "

He turned back, looked at his most admired man, and then patted the other person's shoulder, comforting: "As for your family, I have let my eldest son take care ... I can't go back. This is the order just came from the base camp, you can see for yourself. "

The message clearly stated that this lieutenant general would lead an elite division in Malaysia, General Feng Wen under the Yamashita Round, and fight against the Americans in the Malaysian archipelago. The content of the message is simple and easy to understand, and Japan ’s military strength in Malaysia is not too small, but it is really uncomfortable to think about the fierce battle of Darwin Port. Once the power to control the sea and air is lost, this battle for islands will eventually become a disaster for the army, which is already the consensus of all army generals.

"General! In the navy, can't you really rely on the island and the Americans to let go of a battle?" This general, Ishida, anxiously snapped the message in his hand and gritted his teeth and asked with hate. Dao: "We don't hesitate to die in the country, don't they even realize such a little bit? The spirit of the samurai in the Great Japanese Empire was lost to the navy guys who were greedy for life and death!"

The old general looked helplessly at his men and really wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know where to start. He wanted to tell Major General Ishida that in fact there was such a sound of the last drop of blood in the navy, but these irrational clamors did not play a decisive role at all.

Any senior naval general who replaced Yamamoto 56 found that either they consumed the navy bit by bit and delayed time for Japan ’s future, to see if they could find a turnaround in the delay; or they could only concentrate on gambling Void victory. However, once it is truly defeated, it is a collapse of defeat and Japan will lose all chances of victory within a few months. Who dares to order this bet? Perhaps even the emperor himself did not have the courage to open this mouth.

On the dock, with the shouting, a group of Japanese army soldiers with their upper bodies shouting slogans to unload a heavy large-caliber anti-aircraft gun from the ship. They have only simple tools and can only rely on manpower to complete this difficult job. After all, the Japanese are short and it is really not easy to deal with this physical work.

In fact, if it is transported according to the list of the most demanded weapons on the front line, the heavy weapons that the Japanese army should add to these front lines are actually large-caliber support artillery. After all, the Japanese army has not lost the effective support of the navy, and the Japanese troops lacking heavy weapons simply cannot cope with the US Marines with the cover of the US Navy battleship giant guns.

Looking at the unloaded soldiers on the dock, Major General Ishida pressed a command knife with one hand and complained to the boss in front of him: "The soldiers lack training. We even canceled more than half of the training in order to save bullets ... but in this case , Promised to add 30 92-type infantry guns to us, so far no one has arrived ... This is how my troops should build a basic defense system? "

"Ishida-kun, now the transportation of dozens of islands across the front is messed up. It is not easy for you to at least maintain food and soldiers' supplements." The old lieutenant general said a bit lonely: " I heard that during the battle for Solomon Islands, many brave soldiers starved to death in combat positions because they had no food. "

The original Japanese strategic thinking was to support the war, and this strategy is very effective in China, which is rich and has insufficient resistance. However, when the Japanese applied this strategy to the poor Southeast Asian islands and the United States, which could not overcome and benefit from it, they had to face the problem of not being able to effectively "support the war."

Even more deadly, Japan ’s steel production is seriously inadequate, and its oil reserves are very limited. In heavy industry, they simply have no ability to make up for the weapons and equipment such as heavy artillery that have been accumulated for many years in the battle with the United States. .
