Einstein sent Xu Rui a letter from the United States. The letter stated that Einstein had successfully conducted experiments on quantum waves traveling faster than the speed of light, and that theoretically, he could build a time machine.
Xu Rui was very happy and thought that Einstein was indeed the most outstanding scientist in the world. He was very happy and took the letter and read it again.
The letter read: "Mr. Xu Rui, I want to tell you something exciting. In fact, I have started the development of the time machine, and it is going very smoothly. If nothing else goes wrong, it will only take a few days."
In a few months, I may successfully develop a time machine, and when the time comes, I will invite you to witness this historic moment."
Einstein was really developing a time machine! Xu Ruiguang was very excited and thought that if the time machine was successfully developed, wouldn't it mean that he could return to the future world?
Xu Rui really couldn't wait, hoping that Einstein would complete the development of the time machine as soon as possible. By then, he would have hope of returning home.
Thinking about it carefully, it has been several years since I came to this world. I really don’t know what the time and space I was originally like will be like.
After putting down the letter, Xu Rui smiled softly, finally having hope of going home and having a good rest.
"Commander, MacArthur has an order." Zhuoligetu walked in and said.
Xu Rui quickly put the letter away and then asked: "What did MacArthur say?"
Zhuoligetu said: "MacArthur asked us to stop our vacation immediately and go to Iwo Jima."
"To Iwo Jima?"
"Yes, the telegram said that the war on Iwo Jima is urgent. The Seventy-Fourth Army, the New Sixth Army, and the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Marine Divisions of the US Army have suffered heavy losses and need our reinforcements."
Xu Rui frowned and said, "It seems that the situation on Iwo Jima is very bad."
Xu Rui looked into the distance, which was the direction of Iwo Jima...
On Iwo Jima, the tragic battle continued. Wang Xiaolong came to Yuan Liang with a military kettle in his hand, then held up Yuan Liang's head with one hand and poured the water from the kettle into Yuan Liang's withered lips.
.
"Ahem..." Yuan Liang coughed violently and spit out the water, making a large area of his clothes wet.
They had been fighting bloody battles on Iwo Jima for a week. Yuan Liang's squad originally consisted of more than a dozen people. Now, including Yuan Liang, who was seriously injured, there were only three people left, including Wang Xiaolong.
Yuan Liang was shot through the lungs by a bullet, causing massive blood loss. Wang Xiaofei shouted for the medical soldiers, but another soldier on the side said: "All the medical soldiers have died long ago."
"All dead?"
"The Japs specifically targeted medical soldiers with red cross armbands on their arms. Not to mention our third company, all the medical soldiers in our regiment were killed by the Japs," the soldier said.
"There must be someone who can save the squad leader!"
Wang Xiaolong went to carry Yuan Liang on his back, but Yuan Liang waved his hand and said feebly: "Xiaolong, don't bother, I can't do it anymore."
"Squad leader, what are you talking about? I will definitely save you!"
Wang Xiaolong carried Yuan Liang on his back and ran forward, braving the Japanese artillery fire.
"Are there any medical soldiers alive?" Wang Xiaolong shouted every time he met Chinese or American soldiers.
However, reality disappointed him again and again. Due to the targeted shooting by the Japanese, most of the medical soldiers were shot dead. In the end, the Allied medical soldiers no longer dared to wear the Red Cross armband.
"I know a few medical soldiers are still alive, and one of them is named Dawes, who is at the forefront of the battlefield!" said a soldier.
Wang Xiaolong carried Yuan Liang on his back and ran towards the direction pointed by the American soldier. When he came to the foot of the mountain, he saw that the hillside in front of him was at a ninety-degree angle, and it was obvious at a glance that it was artificially cut. It seemed that the Japanese
It took a lot of effort. The hillside is 40 to 50 meters high and can only be climbed up with a ladder. The Japanese have built fortifications like spider webs on the hillside. It is extremely difficult to knock down the Japanese fortifications.
Difficult things.
"Where is Daos?" Wang Xiaolong asked.
"Daos is on the mountain. We have attacked this abominable Hacksaw Ridge more than a dozen times, and have been beaten down by the Japanese. There are already hundreds of people there," the soldier said.
"Daos is up there? He's just a medic, why doesn't he come down?" Wang Xiaolong asked.
"He was rescuing people from above. This morning, he had rescued more than ten wounded soldiers from above."
"Look, he's got the wounded soldier down again!"
I saw a wounded soldier tied to a rope slowly falling down from the Hacksaw Ridge. Several soldiers quickly ran over, picked up the wounded soldier, and then carried him to the side. There, several medical soldiers quickly surrounded him.
.
When Wang Xiaolong saw it, he immediately rushed towards the medical soldier with Yuan Liang, who had lost too much blood and was unconscious, shouting: "Save him quickly! Save him quickly!"
A hospital soldier rushed over and immediately stopped Yuan Liang's bleeding. However, after a while, the medical soldier stopped.
"Medical soldier, save people quickly! Why did you stop!" Wang Xiaolong shouted.
"There is no need to save him anymore." The medical soldier pointed at Yuan Quan with a deep voice. At this time, Yuan Quan had stopped breathing.
"Squad leader!" Wang Xiaolong cried out sadly, picked up the medical soldier by the collar, and shouted: "You must save him for me!"
"You have to calm down. The person is already dead and there is nothing anyone can do." The medical soldier seemed to be used to this kind of situation. He was not timid at all and just said calmly.
"I'll calm down!"
Wang Xiaolong threw the medical soldier aside, came to Yuan Liang's side, and kept shouting: "Squad leader, get up quickly, get up quickly!"
Unfortunately, Yuan Liang could no longer answer him.
Wang Xiaolong sat down on the ground. The battle had been going on for so many days, and only he and Xiao Mao were left in the class. When would this battle end?
"People are coming down again!"
There was a loud shouting outside, and then Wang Xiaolong saw a wounded soldier covered in blood being carried over.
Wang Xiaolong took a look and realized that this person turned out to be a Japanese.
"What happened? How come the wounded Japs were not transported down?" Wang Xiaolong took out his gun and started shooting at the wounded Japs.
But a soldier stopped him and said: "He is now a prisoner of war and should be treated as a prisoner of war."
"Damn it, I'm giving you an advantage!"
Wang Xiaolong looked towards Hacksaw Ridge. He was curious about how many people the medical soldier named Dawes on Hacksaw Ridge could save...
When Xu Rui's third regiment landed on Iwo Jima, the battle on Iwo Jima had been going on for more than 20 days. However, the Chinese and American Allies still did not make much progress. Moreover, because the Japanese artillery could not be destroyed, the Allied forces were unable to destroy it every time.
Every step forward will cost you blood.
In particular, the Japanese airfield on Iwo Jima caused a lot of damage to the Allies. Every time after bombing the airport, the Japanese would quickly repair it. After experiencing the powerful firepower of the Chinese and American Allies, the Japanese devoted even more effort to the construction.
A defensive fortification with tunnels as its backbone.
Xu Rui thought of MacArthur's telegram to him. The telegram said that without Iwo Jima, it would be impossible to effectively carry out strategic bombing of the Japanese mainland, so Iwo Jima must be captured at all costs.
Before Xu Rui came, he asked MacArthur to set up a naval gun fire control group in each company so that he could call in naval gun fire support in time. At the same time, Xu Rui also asked MacArthur to send a large number of reconnaissance aircraft.
Accurately determine the location of the Japanese artillery fire and guide the naval gun to destroy it.
These two points played a big role in the battle. Although the third regiment also encountered resistance from the Japanese, it was still able to move forward with difficulty. Moreover, in only one day, in order to support the attack of the third regiment, the U.S. military consumed a total of
Ten thousand rounds of artillery shells, such a large-scale fire support, have no precedent in the history of war.
However, the Third Regiment still encountered a lot of trouble. The tanks were originally the gods of land warfare and weapons of war, but they became a burden on Iwo Jima. This was because the beaches were mostly covered with thick volcanic ash, and most of the tanks of the first battalion fell into
Unable to move in the volcanic ash, the few tanks that crossed the beach immediately became targets of Japanese anti-tank guns and were destroyed one by one.
When Xu Rui saw it, he immediately brought in flamethrowers and rocket launchers to deal with the Japanese anti-tank guns. In this way, he suppressed the Japanese artillery fire.
Xu Rui's third regiment continued to advance and soon caught up with the advance of the 74th Army and the New Sixth Army.
Seeing Xu Rui coming, Liao Yaoxiang called and warned Xu Rui not to go any further. The cave ahead contained a large number of Japanese underground fortifications. It was like an ant nest. Going up there would only lead to death.
However, Xu Rui ignored Liao Yaoxiang's advice and continued to move forward, catching up with the US military fighting at the front.
The U.S. military's offensive at this time also encountered strong resistance. Although they launched a general offensive against the Japanese, their advance was extremely slow, slower than a snail, in front of the Japanese defense line composed of permanent launch points, tunnels, bunkers and cave fortifications.
, for a whole day, the left wing and the center made no progress, while the right wing only advanced three hundred meters.
Seeing the arrival of Xu Rui's Third Regiment, American Captain Mike kindly reminded Xu Rui: "The Japanese have hollowed out almost the entire Mount Suribachi and built thousands of densely packed firepower points like honeycombs. Moreover, the Japanese also
An observation post was established on the top of the mountain to accurately direct artillery fire from a high position, which posed a great threat to us and made it impossible to attack us."
After listening to Mike's introduction, Xu Rui said: "It seems that under normal circumstances, if you want to attack Mount Suribachi, you will have to spend a huge price."
"Yes." Mike said.
Xu Rui said: "Now, there is only one way."
Mike asked Xu Rui: "What can we do?"
Xu Rui said: "If we can use poison gas to attack, we can quickly eliminate the Japanese in the cave. Compared with flamethrowers, poison gas is a very merciful way of combat..."
