Imperial Overlord

"For the sake of the Empire of Japan, the whole army will attack! His Majesty the Emperor... Long live!" Standing on the landing boat, a Japanese commander stabbed his command knife forward.

The Japanese army rowed the boat hard, and in the hail of bullets in the United States, began the Midway landing battle.

Just behind the Japanese army, the Japanese battleship Yamato joined the battle angrily, and the trainee sailors controlled the largest naval guns in human history and joined the ranks of ravaging the Midway position.

The seven Japanese battleships were lined up, forming a battle line just like the Great Battle of Jutland in the First World War, and the scene was very spectacular.

After all, this is a 60,000-ton Yamato-class battleship. Just looking at its magnificent bridge and 9 main guns with a caliber of 460 mm is enough to be feared.

"Tutu! Tutu!" The U.S. troops guarding Midway didn't flinch. When the Japanese army launched the landing fleet, they started their own counterattack.

The machine gun positions opened fire violently, and the bullets swept across the water, leaving a small column of water.

"Crack! Crack!" The bullet hit the sea water, making a crisp sound. Some Japanese soldiers standing on the side of the ship and firing were hit and fell into the water with a louder clatter.

"Suppress the beachhead! Machine guns! Fire!" In the bumpy bow of the landing craft, the Japanese officer loudly ordered his machine guns to fire.

"Tutu! Tutu!" The Japanese machine guns also roared, making the entire beachhead extremely lively.

The Japanese army mobilized 3,000 soldiers to attack Midway Island, and the US military was almost the same number. There was no difference in the strength of the two sides.

But in terms of support firepower, the US military has only mortars and heavy machine guns, while the Japanese army has large-caliber artillery on destroyers, cruisers and battleships.

The gap in firepower is one sky and one underground, and the two sides are not on the same level at all. The Japanese firepower is ferocious, and the U.S. military can only fire back when they are close to each other.

However, even so, the U.S. military still took the initiative in the battle for beachheads.

The combat experience of the landing troops obtained by the Japanese in places such as China and Burma was completely different from that of Midway.

One is of an attack nature, and the other side is not fully prepared for a landing battle. One is the beachhead for the enemy's key defense, and the firepower-intensive positions are complete.

Although more than 70% of the positions were destroyed by Japanese artillery fire, the U.S. military was still able to rely on the remaining 30% to defend.

The Japanese army did not have special landing craft for amphibious landings, nor did they have armored personnel carriers specially designed for the navy.

The famous special two fireboats (the name is really called special two... don't ask me why, 囧) have not been invented at this time, and the Japanese army can only rely on pure infantry to land in combat.

As for the army's tanks... just those thin-skinned and big-stuffed bean chariots, even if they really went ashore, it's hard to say who is covering who.

At the landing site of the Japanese army, the only two heavy machine guns left by the US military gave the Japanese army heavy losses.

The beach, which was originally not wide, was crowded with the corpses of the Japanese soldiers who landed. The battle had just begun, and the Japanese lost almost 100 soldiers.

Blood donation dyed the blue sea red, and the smoke of artillery fire blackened the white clouds in the sky. The U.S. military on Midway fought desperately, and the Japanese did not want to fall short.

"Come on! Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" On the assault boat that had just rushed onto the beach, the Japanese officer stood up and rushed forward desperately.

The U.S. military's machine guns came over and hit the officer's feet, but he turned a blind eye. His courage inspired the Japanese soldiers, and the Japanese soldiers, who were curled up behind the bodies of their comrades, began to cheer up and move forward to attack.

The U.S. military's position was not complete, and most of the permanent fortifications had been destroyed by Japanese naval artillery.

For example, the radar station built on the island has now been bombed beyond recognition by artillery.

The American sappers themselves also destroyed the most core component, the dazzling radar antenna, which is no different from an ordinary iron net now.

The airport is also full of large craters caused by artillery shells, and there are countless aircraft wreckage on both sides of the straight runway.

The U.S. aircraft carrier fleet retreated... or after the losses were exhausted, Midway had no barrier, and the destructive power of the battleship was obvious.

In a crater made by artillery shells, the commander of the US Marine Corps put down the telescope in his hand and instructed his subordinates: "Let the soldiers abandon the beach line of defense, the enemy's artillery bombardment is coming soon."

Sure enough, when the U.S. military had just finished its retreat, the Japanese army’s artillery shells fell like rain, baptizing the area near the beach into a **** on earth.

"Boom!" A cannonball of unknown caliber landed on the beach, stirring up a patch of yellow sand. The power of the cannonball on the beach was weakened, and the power was much smaller.

With the complete paralysis of the long-range firepower of the US military, the Japanese warships did not have to use the range advantage to fire outside the firepower circle, so they also began to save large-caliber artillery shells.

All bombarded with artillery with a caliber of 356 mm or more, it is definitely an expensive fireworks show.

The Japanese military's wealth was not solid, so they adopted a more economical method to suppress the American beachhead.

More than a dozen destroyers and cruisers lined up and began to bombard with small-caliber main guns. Although these 200mm and 100mm shells were less powerful, they were better than the density of firepower.

The Japanese army concentrated on hundreds of such naval guns~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It was another blast against the American positions. After the gunshots were completely inaudible on Midway, the Japanese on the beachhead began a new round of offensive.

The U.S. machine gun sounded again this time, but it was even weaker. The U.S. military, which had lost most of its fortifications, had to fight the most fiercely against the Japanese in the rubble.

It is a pity that in the end, before the night fell on this day, the Japanese army captured the entire Midway Island and wiped out the 3,000 American troops on the island.

Yamamoto fifty-six's good news was sent back to Tokyo base camp, the Japanese combined fleet wiped out the US aircraft carrier mobile fleet, and completed the strategic mission, capturing the crucial Midway Island.

When the local got the news, they were naturally cheering and laughing. It is a pity that no one knows about the sinking of the aircraft carrier Soryu and the serious injuries of the aircraft carriers Kaga and Hiryu.

In the sour congratulations from the Japanese Minister of War and other army generals, the Minister of the Navy of Japan received the commendation from His Majesty the Emperor with great satisfaction.

At the same time, Yamamoto Fifty-six issued an order for the combined fleet to return to Kure Port for repair. The Japanese combined fleet left some destroyers to support Midway, and the rest returned.
