On February 9, 1943, after six months of fighting, the brutal Battle of Guadalcanal ended!

The Battle of Guadalcanal was Japan's second defeat after the Battle of Midway, and it was also a turning point for Japan from strategic advantage to disadvantage.

From a global perspective, the Allied counterattack and victory on Guadalcanal at the end of 1942, together with the Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of El Alamein at the same time, marked the beginning of the Allies' strategic counteroffensive phase.

In the Battle of Guadalcanal, Japan's sea, land and air suffered a total defeat.

From another perspective, in the confrontation with the US military, the Japanese army was at a comprehensive disadvantage.

Especially in terms of weapons and equipment, fire support, and combat ideas, compared with the Japanese army that swept across Southeast Asia when World War II just broke out and defeated the British, the current Japanese army has almost become a lamb to be slaughtered by the US military.

One of the culprits of the "July 7th Incident", the captain of the Japanese Army's Ichiki Detachment, Ichiki Kiyoshi, personally led 900 people to launch an attack in the advance battle.

Ichiki Kiyoshi still sticks to his old ideas and launches the "Long Live Charge".

The U.S. military has built a complete position, with barbed wire all over the place, and light and heavy firepower deployed to form a complete intersection of firepower.

The battle was very exciting. The U.S. military opened fire only when the Japanese army was halfway through the charge. All kinds of light and heavy weapons were launched at the same time. The first wave of the Japanese attack was completely wiped out.

Ichiki Kiyoshi once again encouraged the soldiers to carry out a suicide charge, but the US heavy machine guns tore the Japanese troops apart like mowing grass. Two waves of "Banzai Charges" came down, and all 500 commandos of Ichiki Squadron were wiped out.

Ironically, the Japanese suicide charge did not cause a huge psychological shock to the US military, but instead made the Marines red-blooded.

The tanks drove onto the battlefield and rolled over the corpses of Japanese soldiers. The wounded Japanese soldiers who were still alive turned into track lubricants in an instant.

Ichiki Kiyonao's squadron was driven to the beach by the US military, and was eventually wiped out by machine gun fire. Only a few dozen of them managed to escape into the rainforest.

After dawn, the U.S. military counted 850 Japanese corpses on the battlefield at the mouth of the Tenaru River. The detachment leader, Kiyoshi Ichiki, committed seppuku on the beach.

Cruelly, the 850 people of the Ichiki detachment only caused more than 80 casualties of the US military. The casualty ratio of 1:10 made the Japanese army lose face.

This is the most realistic portrayal of the battlefield.

The end of the Battle of Guadalcanal made the once arrogant Japanese army finally stand on the edge of the cliff of defeat!

The disastrous defeat in the Battle of Guadalcanal also made the Japanese army in Southeast Asia smell the danger of losing the final victory in the war.

In the Philippines, Thailand, Malay Island and other places, the Japanese army was like a gambler who had lost his sights.

They began to arrest people everywhere and throw them to every place where a war might break out. They worked hard day and night to build fortifications.

Especially in the Philippines, we not only have to repair fortifications, but we are also responsible for hiding treasures.

A large number of men were kidnapped, resulting in a serious imbalance in the ratio of men to women in the area.

When Meng Shaoyuan returned to the Japanese Military Police in Sumalaga, a fierce quarrel was breaking out inside.

In the few days after Meng Shaoyuan left, a serious massacre occurred in Tunnel No. 6.

Because Takasago Makoto was too harsh, the Filipino workers were on the verge of collapse in physical strength and energy, and a large-scale rebellion finally broke out.

This even resulted in the deaths of two Japanese overseers.

Fortunately, Makoto Takasago was not at the scene at the time, and he narrowly escaped death.

Mizushima Yukihei also knew the seriousness of this matter, quickly mobilized troops, quelled the riot in the shortest possible time, and arrested a large number of workers who participated in the riot.

However, serious differences occurred among the Japanese on the issue of handling these workers.

Yutaro Doi believes that there is currently a labor shortage. After the rioting workers led by the workers are dealt with, the rest should continue to be used to avoid labor shortages.

However, Makoto Takasago believed that since these workers dared to carry out such a large-scale riot, it must be an organized act, and there will definitely be a next time.

And they are very likely to expose the secret of the gold hidden in Tunnel No. 6.

Therefore, they must be executed and replaced with a new group of workers who have no knowledge of Tunnel No. 6.

The two couldn't argue, and planned to hold a meeting to discuss the matter the next day.

Unexpectedly, that night, tragedy happened.

Takasago Makoto secretly ordered that all the workers who participated in the riot be buried alive!

By the time Yutaro Doi found out, it was too late.

Takasago Makoto disagreed and continued to ask Yutaro Doi for new workers, and in the form of orders.

Of course Yutaro Doi couldn't swallow this, and he and Makoto Takasago immediately had the most serious quarrel in history.

Meng Shaoyuan rushed back under such circumstances.

"enough!"

Mizushima Yukihei, who was so worried and couldn't bear it anymore, finally shouted loudly: "Calm down, everyone, calm down!"

Finally, there was temporary silence.

"Your Excellency Takasago, this time, you have gone too far." Mizushima Yukihei tried his best to control his emotions: "Those who resist the empire must be killed, but not now, but after the tunnel project is completed.

Maybe you don’t know that not long ago, the empire suffered a terrible defeat on Guadalcanal! Guadalcanal has fallen into the hands of the Americans!”

The room fell silent for a moment.

The first person to break the silence was Makoto Takasago: "The failure of Guadalcanal has nothing to do with me. Guadalcanal is still far away from the Philippines. I have my mission. In order to complete my mission, I don't know what happened on the front line.

care!"

idiot!

Mizushima Yukihei was extremely angry, but he still said patiently: "Well, there is one thing that is related to us.

Just two hours ago, I received an order from my superiors that Sumalaga must provide 20,000 strong laborers to the front line within a month!"

Upon hearing this, Yutaro Doi turned pale.

Twenty thousand workers?

Strong laborer?

One month?

Where can I find so many workers in such a short period of time?

"That's your business." Takasago Makoto said stubbornly: "Because of this riot, the construction schedule has been seriously delayed. If it goes back to the failure I just mentioned, I must move faster.

In order to make up for the loss, Lord Doi, I ask you to help me find no less than 500 workers in the shortest possible time!"

"It's just a dream!" Yutaro Doi shouted: "I have no choice, no choice!"

"Compared to 20,000 people, these five hundred people are nothing!" Takasago Makoto did not want to give in at all: "I don't understand how the empire can win, but my mission was personally assigned to me by His Excellency the Prince.

"

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Meng Shaoyuan, who had been silent all this time, spoke up and said:

"That's enough, everyone, the situation is very serious, and each of us knows it, but it is not without solutions."
