It is now early morning on January 3, 1942, and the night is as thick as a painting. Near Waikiki Beach, most of the US Marines who were watching the night in the trenches were already asleep. Only a very small number of American soldiers who were particularly serious and responsible were trying to open their eyes wide, enduring the constant sleepiness while watching the movements on the sea. But in this darkness before dawn, if it weren't for the Japanese "cat-eyed warrior", the average person's sight was at most a few dozen meters away. Only when the searchlight behind swept across the sea can he see a peaceful water surface.

Of course, the American soldiers were not guarding here to prevent Japanese sneak attacks. Because this was impossible, next to Waikiki Beach is an extinct volcano Diamond Mountain transformed into a fortress. The fortress cleverly utilized the special terrain of the crater and deployed mortars with a caliber near the inner wall of the crater. There is a blind spot for Japanese battleship naval gun shooting!

In addition, there are many cannons and howitzers deployed in the tunnels on the southern foot of the Kulao Mountains north of Waikiki Beach, and the firepower can fully cover Waikiki Beach.

So this Waikiki Beach is not something that a small number of suicide players who ride a kayaking can take.

The main task of the American soldiers guarding here is to capture Japanese spies, because there are many Japanese immigrants and expatriates in Hawaii Island, with a number of more than 100,000, making it the largest ethnic group in the Hawaiian Islands. Many of them have not forgotten their Japanese mother country, so they are easily recruited by Japanese intelligence agencies to become spies.

Now that Japan has attacked the Hawaiian Islands, these Japanese and Japanese who are concerned about their homeland are all hidden dangers. Now they are afraid that they will cooperate with foreign Japanese invaders, so Admiral Schott has deployed many marines in Honolulu City to strictly prevent Japanese residents from rebelling; on the other hand, they have sent people to strictly block the beaches that may lead to Japanese settlements in Honolulu to prevent Japanese spies from infiltration.

At this time, Baker, a first-class US Marine Corps, was holding his rifle, looking at the sea with wide eyes wide open. He was a white native of Hawaii, and his family lived on Oahu. Although his mother and fiancée were on the retreat list, they were not the only ones who ran away. So he is fighting to defend his family and has to take extra care.

At this time, a slight sound like a roar of motors came from the sea. Under the cover of the sound of gunfire from the Oahu Plain that was fighting in the north, the sound of these motors was easily ignored. But Private Baker still heard it. He raised his rifle, poked out some of his body out of the trenches, and then squinted his eyes and looked carefully. Only then did he vaguely see a ship-shaped object moving on the sea! Private Baker took it for granted that the Japanese spies were coming, but in a blink of an eye he found that there seemed to be dozens of moving boats on the sea! And these small boats were about to rush to the beach.

He quickly shouted at the top of his throat: "Sneak attack! The enemy is coming!" While shouting, he raised his rifle and pointed it at one of the small boats. The gunshot woke everyone in the trench, and they picked up the guys and poked their bodies out of the trench. Someone fired a flare and lit it up over the sea outside the beach. With the help of the light of the flare, Private Baker actually saw a turret on a speedboat!

What is this? When Private Baker was thinking about it, someone suddenly shouted in his ear: "Blasting! Hidden!"

Before the shouting came, a shell fired by a Japanese first-class submarine ship exploded in front of the trenches where First-class Baker was.

The Japanese not only used submarines to transport tanks to land, but also bombarded Waikiki Beach with artillery on the submarines, and then urgently dived before the US military artillery on the southern foot of Diamond Mountain and the Kulao Mountains counterattack.

This seemingly whimsical way of fighting is actually to make the US military on the shore mistakenly think that a Japanese destroyer was approaching the beach in order to temporarily attract artillery on the shore and gain more time for the surprise attack troops. In fact, there is not much road from Waikiki Beach to Diamond Mountain. It only takes a quarter of an hour and twenty minutes to reach the point. Moreover, according to the information that Japanese agents found in advance of the war, there were not many troops on the Diamond Mountain. The 900 Japanese Marines suicide squadrons and 30 tanks were caught off guard by the attack, and it is very likely that they would succeed.

At this time, on the ocean less than 10 nautical miles away from Waikiki Beach, hundreds of Japanese transport ships and dozens of escort ships had already begun. Thousands of officers and soldiers of the Japanese and Taiwan mixed brigade were ready. Just wait for the raid of the Shandong Marine Corps to launch a new amphibious landing battle!

"Tank! It's a tank! The Japanese tank!"

"Oh my goodness! How did they come out of the sea?"

"Hurry, block them!"

"What block?"

"have no idea……"

"They are coming up, they are coming up!"

Waikiki Beach was already in chaos, and the 30 sudden appearance of tanks made the American soldiers guarding here stunned. Although they knew that there was the concept of amphibious tanks, the ships that could transport amphibious tanks were all big ships. How could it be that they could quietly approach Waikiki Beach and not be discovered? Although everyone does not know how to have a cat-eye magic, there is a searchlight that sweeping across the sea over and over again, how could it be that nothing could be discovered?

However, the American soldiers who were stunned now had no time to think about this because they were all running towards downtown Honolulu. Since they did not expect tanks to be transported by submarines, the Marines guarding Waikiki Beach did not carry anti-tank guns. Although the Marines' anti-tank guns are also motorized and can be pulled over without long before they can be pulled by a car. But judging from the current situation, it is probably a bit unstoppable!

...

"What? Japanese tanks rushed to Waikiki Beach? How is this possible?" Admiral Short was already a little broken when he heard the bad news.

He had high hopes for the counterattack tonight, and the troops dispatched were also very strong. The infantry alone dispatched 5 regiments and more than 150 tanks to support him. Moreover, the artillery of the 24th Division and the 25th Division of the US Army were also concentrated and put into the counterattack. But he could not catch the defense line of the short, ridiculous uniforms, and there were no good weapons besides the battleships.

However, the result of the attack was extremely disappointing. Not only could it not be gnawed (in fact, it was not impossible to gnawed at all. The US military forced the Japanese army back a few kilometers, but could not hit their second line of defense, but it also collapsed. After several waves of offensives, the 24th and 25th Divisions had lost more than 100 m3 tanks! What made General Short puzzled was that the Japanese deployed anti-tank guns behind the positions were obviously not left, so how could they open their tanks one after another?

And at this moment, bad news came about that the Japanese tanks rushed to Waikiki Beach!

"The Japanese have made a big landing in Waikiki Beach?"

The staff who reported to him replied: "Admiral, it should have landed in a large scale! The Marine Corps reported that dozens of Japanese tanks covered thousands of infantry and rushed to the back of the Diamond Mountains, capturing several artillery positions located on the southern foot of the Kulao Mountains, and are still climbing Diamond Mountains!"

It's over! Admiral Schott's eyes turned black and he almost fainted. All artillery positions on the southern foot of the Kulao Mountains were lost, Diamond Mountain was besieged, and the Oahu Plain could not be defeated... Now the US military on Oahu is going to be attacked from both sides!

"Admiral, General, look at this!" Colonel Collins ran to Short with a big hammer at this time.

Short, whose mind was blank, glanced at the guy in Colonel Collins's hand and asked, "What is this?"

"Admiral, this is the Japanese anti-tank weapon. They used this to destroy many of our m3 tanks."

It turned out that American soldiers fighting on the front line picked up some Japanese "Iron Fist" anti-tank grenade launchers and handed them over to Colonel Collins.

"Admiral, this should be a simple grenade launcher," Colonel Collins said. "The range of this weapon must not be very long, maybe only a few dozen meters, at most no more than a hundred meters."

"So what?" asked Admiral Short.

"We just need to send infantry to lead the way in front of the tank to defeat those hateful little Japanese!" Collins said, "At least we can beat them hard tonight!"

"No, we lost!" Admiral Schott smiled bitterly, "The Japanese have just landed on Waikiki Beach...Their tanks have rushed to the beach, the Navy's artillery positions on the southern foot of the Kulao Mountains have been destroyed, and Diamond Mountain is being besieged."

"What!?" Colonel Collins was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned his head to look south. He could only see the sky there flashing red light, obviously shells or something else was exploding.

"Admiral, the battle continues. Let's draw troops to reinforce immediately." Colonel Collins suggested immediately.

Admiral Schott just shook his head and raised his hand and pointed at the place where the fierce battle was in danger. "Do you think the Japanese devils there will allow us to reinforce?"

"But... Admiral, what should we do now? Are we watching Diamond Mountain fall?"

"Let's retreat to Wahiava town and Skefield barracks first," General Short sighed, "and then we gather our troops... and retreat to the Kulao Mountains to defend." He gritted his teeth, "I think the United States will not give up Hawaii! We will definitely wait for reinforcements!" (To be continued.)
