The Sam people's anti-aircraft artillery group and the counterattack of the remaining fleet's carrier-based anti-aircraft firepower had little effect on the threat to the Imperial carrier-based aircraft group.
Because Yan Bing has already deployed the First Pacific Task Force to the offshore Majuro, the time period for round-trip bombing by imperial carrier-based aircraft has been infinitely shortened, and the relative deterrence is even greater.
In addition, the Sam Second Fleet participated in warships and fought back against the Imperial aircraft fleet in the military port. It was extremely passive in terms of defense. The military port was not big to begin with, and in addition, we had to pay attention to the minefields in the port. The Sam warships had very little room to maneuver. Relatively speaking,
, the possibility of avoiding fighter bombings becomes infinitely smaller.
On the contrary, the Imperial fighter planes are not only flexible in diving, but also have strong low-altitude flight performance. This is very detrimental to Sam's anti-aircraft firepower to effectively lock on the Imperial fighter aircraft. Therefore, Sam's second fleet did not play a big role, just like
The fate of the John Bull Empire's Far East Fleet was the same. It was shut down and beaten like a dog, and only a few ships escaped from the military port.
Shortly after sustaining heavy losses to Sam's Second Fleet and engaging with aircraft in Hong Kong, the second wave of attacks by Imperial carrier-based aircraft began. 132 carrier-based fighter-bombers conducted dive attacks, and 26 fighter jets fully controlled the air superiority over Majuro.
Then, under the escort of the Imperial Pacific Fleet, the Pacific Marine Corps and the Hawaiian Empire Field Army boarded various landing ships and troop transports, landed from the Majuro Bare Beach, and carried out an in-depth occupation of Majuro.
Before the army landed, all the naval guns of the First Pacific Task Force focused on firing repeatedly at the Majuro coastal defense line, completely paralyzing the defense line. Then, the Imperial Army began to implement the landing plan, and the entire plan
It went very smoothly.
It wasn't until they were nearly ten kilometers deep that they encountered the vigorous resistance of Sam's defense division. The two armies engaged in an offensive and defensive battle here. The logged-in Imperial wheeled artillery and lightly-armed mechanized troops gave Sam's division a sharp firepower blow.
Sam's defense division only supported for a few hours before quickly retreating, retreating again and again, with no way to retreat.
After the Imperial carrier-based aircraft fleet completely destroyed the Sam Fleet, the airport, and the air defense facilities in the port, they quickly turned around and turned their attack targets to the enemy's deep-seated facilities, as well as defense force bases, positions, etc.
Two days later, Majuro was completely under the control of the Imperial Army. The Imperial Army gained the natural harbor of Majuro, and the war awakened the Samaritans to guard against other island groups.
After that, the Imperial Shore-based Air Force appeared at the Majuro temporary airport, and the shore-based fighter fleet and the carrier-based fighter fleet began to carry out air strikes on the outer islands of the Marshall Islands, on the one hand to suppress the Sam Army, and on the other hand to create an illusion.
After several air strikes, the coastal defense facilities of the Marshall Islands were damaged to a certain extent. On the morning of the fourth day, the empire dispatched more than 500 shore-based fighters and carrier-based fighters to attack Roy Island, the largest Sam Air Base in the MA.
An air raid was carried out at the airport. More than 200 SAM shore-based fighter jets were blown to pieces before they had time to take off.
On the fifth day, the Imperial Army's offensive forces arrived at Kwajalein Atoll. Following the intensive bombing by the Imperial aircraft fleet, the Imperial Pacific Task Force conducted an assault with naval guns and escort carrier aircraft. Kwajalein Island was hit by tens of thousands of artillery shells.
, the most concentrated bombardment.
On the sixth day, the Imperial Army began to attack the densely populated area of Roy fortifications in Kwajalein Atoll. In order to completely destroy these fortifications, Yan Bing assigned every inch of land on the island to a dedicated person, with strict requirements that they must be blasted accurately without making mistakes.
As a result, the island was plowed by artillery shells. The trees on the island were uprooted and rocks were broken into pieces. There were craters at every step. The landing operations were rapid and violent. The Sam troops guarding the island suffered heavy casualties. The more than 100 Sam troops who survived by chance were bombed.
They fought stubbornly in the bunkers and rubble piles. The fierce battle lasted until evening, and the remaining enemy troops were finally wiped out.
While marching towards Roy, a landing division of the Empire's Hawaiian Field Army marched towards the horribly bombed Kwajalein Island. The landing was unexpectedly smooth, but the Empire still adopted a steady, step-by-step, and gradual search approach.
way forward….
The Sam Army headquarters of Ma Island is located on Kwajalein Island. In the afternoon of that day, fierce resistance broke out on the island.
In accordance with the combat procedures, the emperor charged, fell down when encountering the enemy's fire point, used explosives, flamethrowers, tanks or artillery fire support, and then charged after capturing the fire point. In this cycle, he steadily advanced, and the whole island was instantly in a melee.
On the eighth day, the emperor used sniper rifles, machine guns, grenades, explosive packets, and flamethrowers to eliminate batches of Sam's troops who were hiding in ruins, rubble piles and concrete buildings and trying their best to resist.
On the afternoon of the ninth day, the organized resistance of the Sam Army had ended, and the Imperial Army announced the complete occupation of Kwajalein Island.
On the tenth day, the huge Kwajalein Atoll was completely captured by the Imperial Army. At the same time, the Imperial Second Pacific Task Force also successfully scooped up Wok Island and John Houston Island.
Under the command of Yan Bing, the Emperor did not follow common sense and adopted a leaping attack. He gave up attacking the focus groups along the way and suddenly attacked Majuro Island and Kwajalein Island. This caught the Sam people off guard and could not do anything at all.
Without the assistance of the islands in defense, Hong Kong Island, the most important main force, and the main air force island will be lost.
But the Emperor did not stop there, but carried out continuous naval artillery strikes and air force bombings on other Sam-occupied island groups. Although the Sam army defended the remaining island groups, they lacked the necessary permanent fortification support.
Under the continuous attack by the imperial navy, land and air force, the island group was destroyed and left in a mess.
The ferocious artillery strikes from the empire made the soldiers of the Sam Army frightened and unable to carry out organized resistance at all. After that, they were gradually annihilated by small groups.
Among them, only Parry Island had a large-scale and well-organized Sam Army resistance. They were distributed in strong strongholds densely packed like a honeycomb on the island, and resisted tenaciously. Sometimes they suddenly shot from behind, and then retreated.
In response to this situation, Yan Bing ordered all land, sea and air firepower to concentrate on repeated carpet bombing of the island. Then the army landed and fought. Such a fierce battle lasted for a day. In the end, Sam's army was completely destroyed.
During the landing on Ma Island, Sam's army died and more than 62,000 people were captured; the Imperial Army paid a heavy price with 1,200 casualties.
In the "Battle of the Falklands Islands" arranged by the Imperial Emperor, the Imperial Yanbing Division successfully completed the mission. After taking control of the Falklands Islands, the Imperial Army broke through the island chain blockade of the Sam Army's outer defense circle, and the entire North Pacific Empire
The islands are connected together, making Uncle Sam's Pacific supply line even more fragile. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (.) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.
