In the mountains, the advantage is only the air force.

At this time, the U.S. army had only 18,000 people left after two big defeats, and the morale was very low. They already felt that there was no hope of winning. If it were not for Fred's bad situation, he would decisively withdraw. If they do, I am afraid their losses will be even greater.

At this time, there were more than 17,000 Allied troops left, all of whom had withdrawn to the mountainous area and began to build fortifications, but because of the lack of materials, they could only build some simple fortifications.

Fortunately, because the port is not large, it is difficult to transport China’s heavy artillery. Even the 155MM land warfare can only be transported to urban ports and cannot participate in the battles in the mountains. What can be used are mortars and field artillery. Air force firepower cannot cause much damage to them.

The Air Force carried out continuous aerial attacks on the American positions. Although it was difficult to find their positions in the mountains and forests, the incendiary bombs thrown caused countless forest fires. If it weren't for the humid climate, plenty of surplus, everywhere. If they are all streams, I am afraid they will all be burned alive.

The two sides fought fiercely for four days. Although the Americans still resisted resolutely, they continued to fail.

Even when the difference in weapons between the two sides is not particularly large, the quality of the Chinese army is still higher than theirs.

As the loss increased, their resistance became weaker and weaker,

In the afternoon of the fourth day, Fred led the last remnant army to resist. In the situation of being surrounded on all sides, Fred was finally desperate, but he did not want to surrender and chose to detonate himself, leaving more than 2,000 people. He chose to lay down his weapons and surrender.

After this battle, the Chinese army completely took control of the island. Only more than 2,000 of the 25,000 members of the US Army chose to surrender, and all the others died. The Chinese Marine Corps lost more than 1,500. More than 3,000 people were killed and seriously injured in the army.

It can be said that it is unexpected to achieve this under the condition of absolute superiority of China. If the help of the air force is removed, the battle damage of the Chinese army is expected to reach about 10,000, which is unprecedented in history.Although this is a strong U.S. army, with the development of the U.S. war potential, there will not necessarily be fewer such troops, and more and stronger troops will emerge.

There will even be troops that can contend with the Chinese Second-line Army.

When the battle was reported to Cai E, he was silent for a long time, and immediately issued an order to make the 17th Army more vigilant. Even if the action is slower, he must ensure his own casualty ratio. As time goes by, he will become familiar with the battlefield. The new army will become stronger and stronger.

On the fifth day, Tan Yongqi took down several nearby islands and completely controlled the Vanuatu Islands...

At this time, the 1721th Division attacking the Samoa Islands was in trouble.110 Literature www.110wx.com

The Americans dug countless large and small tunnels on the island of Samoa, and even several passages through the mountain.The entire tunnel is low-pass to eight, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are many such islands in the Pacific.

This is also the reason why Marshall is confident to hold on for half a year. These American islands have been prepared here for nearly a year, so the defense system is very complete.

The command headquarters is located at the foot of a mountain and is more than 20 meters above the ground. Division commander Malakel is listening to the report.

"General, the Chinese fortifications were too violent. It was difficult for us to hold the city. After we were sure that we could not resist for a long time, the 2nd brigade had retreated across the board and reached the predetermined position.

The staff officer said so.

"Okay! No problem. Tell our officers and soldiers that the Chinese people cannot easily win this war. Our underground fortifications store a large amount of weapons, ammunition and supplies. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is enough for us to insist on one. year."

"They want to win here, they can only rely on human lives, and the cost is geometrically multiplied, as long as we persist for more than a year, at that time our United States has even defeated them, and we are naturally saved."

Although what Malakel said was a bit exaggerated, he was confident that he could complete the task assigned by Marshall and there was no problem. They could choose to surrender after half a year.

"Yes, General. We must make them pay a heavy price."

The staff officer was also full of confidence and said loudly.

And these Americans have also been promised that as long as they persist until the end of the year, whether they die in battle or surrender, they can get the title of hero, and their families can get double compensation from martyrs.

Anyway, they can't escape now. Fighting itself is the basic ethics of being a soldier. If you can win honor for yourself and win money for your family, why not do it.

This time, the 1721 Division found that apart from the stubborn resistance that launched the landing operation, they received almost no decent resistance in the city.

When they stepped into the town that was bombed into ruins, they didn't even see a few of the American corpses. The Americans resisted a little and retreated.

It only took them one morning from the launch of the landing to the capture of the city, and they did not even ship all their equipment...
