.In this magnificent sea, there are endless rumbling sounds of cannons in my ears, and above my head are fighters and bombers flying by constantly whistling. On the flat deck in front of me, there are teams of well-equipped and highly morale Marine soldiers. At this time, Adolf Hitler, who had just been promoted to Marine Corps Major, was full of pride and ambition.

"Everyone, ahead is Okinawa, the last fortress of the little Japanese outside the island - Okinawa Island. Our fleet has controlled this sea, our planes have controlled this sky, and our mission is to...sweep this island!"

"Oh...oh..." The soldiers cheered one after another. The Japanese navy had long been destroyed. They were also in danger in front of the German army and navy, the largest colony overseas. Japan, which was once arrogant, has fallen into a completely surrounded situation. For these German officers and soldiers who have been fighting on the front line for a long time, nothing is more exciting than this!

"Remember, there are tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers in front of us, tens of thousands of stubborn people who don't know what surrender is, so we must not take it lightly at any time!"

Adolf glanced at the soldiers in front of him, and everyone put away the excitement just now. Every young or mature face had a sense of vicissitudes of having experienced the test of life and death.

"After we go to the island, we will meet many Japanese residents, but don't treat them as ordinary people. Each of them may hide deadly weapons. They may attack us through various channels. This is by no means an exaggeration! Although we cannot slaughter the civilians on the island at will, we must be vigilant about them 200%!"

Although the war feels very cruel, the experiences in the Hawaiian Islands and the Marshall Islands are the best proof. In these two large-scale battles, Adolf lost a total of 420 soldiers, of which less than 300 were injured or killed in frontal battles, and most of the remaining were the "results" of Japanese soldiers, prisoners and Japanese expatriates. You should know that it was the loss during the battle in Japan's overseas colonies. Okinawa is almost no different from the Japanese mainland!

"Okay. Don't say much nonsense. The amphibious chariot battalion of the 1st and 2nd regiments has begun to land. Next, it's time for us to go on stage! Young men, do your best, medals and honors are waiting for you! Now, each company boards the boat in turn, be sure to pay attention to safety!"

As he said that, Adolf waved his hand.

The battalion's three infantry companies and one amphibious chariot company, a fleet of more than 1,200 marine officers and soldiers began to move. This is a 5,000-ton troop transport ship modified by a merchant ship. If you want to rush to the beach more than ten nautical miles ahead, the soldiers also have to transfer to a landing ship with smaller displacement and landing craft. The original version of these landing ships participated in the landing operation in 1914. Over the past 15 years, their families have become larger and developed.

Several series were produced—including 10-ton small-person landing crafts that can be carried by large landing ships, 20-ton vehicle landing crafts and 40-ton light tank landing crafts, as well as 120-ton mechanized landing crafts and 200-ton tank landing crafts that can navigate independently, and some are supported landing crafts and landing gunboats that have evolved from the above-mentioned landing ships, many of which are also equipped with naval light rocket launchers made by Gigi arms.

Watching the soldiers who kept coming down from the rope net to the landing craft, Adolf prayed silently in his heart:

"You guys, you all want to come back alive!"

Although this prayer was not possible, Adolf still hoped that the narrow island in front of him would not devour the lives of his soldiers too much. However, long before the German landing fleet arrived, the Japanese officers and soldiers stationed in Okinawa received orders from the local area: defend their positions to the death and never let Okinawa fall into the hands of the Germans!

At the same time, the concerns of the German Supreme Command also happened - Emperor Showa personally issued an edict, requiring every Japanese citizen to be prepared to fight all invading enemies, whether they are elderly people, women or children, whether they use rifles, bamboo guns or kitchen knives. According to the report of German spies lurking in Okinawa, Okinawa has obviously become the first "test field" for the Japanese government's tactics to be soldiered. Since the fall of Hawaii, 400,000 Okinawa residents have been organized in an orderly manner for combat training. The Japanese government has also transported a large number of outdated and old weapons from the island. It is said that these weapons from the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and Russo-Japanese War were enough to accommodate 674 to 5 army divisions.

At 10:20 am, Adolf, as the last batch of boarding troops of the 1st Battalion of the 4th Regiment of the 2nd Marine Division of the German Marine Warfare, boarded a light tank landing craft that could carry 75 soldiers and lion tanks. Amid the rumbling engine, the landing craft quickly left the mother ship and drove towards the beach. By this time, the landing fleet had been preparing for fire for a day and a night. The land-based fighter jets from aircraft carrier-based aircraft and land-based fighter jets taken off from the temporary airport of nearby islands also carried out fierce air strikes on the island's Japanese fortifications, construction and traffic. The Japanese troops on the island were no longer able to use artillery fire to block the German landing ships gradually approaching the beach. Therefore, before approaching the beach in southeastern Okinawa, the German troops did not lose even a landing craft.

However, as the baffle in front of the landing ship was put down, the German officers and soldiers quickly began to experience the cruelty of war. As soon as their legs stepped into the cold knee-dead sea, deadly bullets flew out of the woods behind the beach. The German soldiers who rushed out of the landing ship were shot and fell down immediately, but the soldiers behind continued to rush forward regardless of everything. While driving the sailors on the landing ship, they retreated the ship that had evacuated the personnel, and tried their best to use the light and heavy weapons on the boat to move towards the woods in the direction of the woods.

Suppressing the shooting, amphibious tanks and armored vehicles soon joined the battlefield. Some tanks even began to shoot at the Japanese positions when the landing ship baffle was just lowered. Although most of the woods there were leveled by bombs and incendiary bombs dropped by German fierce naval guns and fighter jets, there were only burnt wooden stakes and black scorched earth, many Japanese soldiers still survived like rats with their tenacious vitality, and used all the weapons they could use in their hands to shoot at the landing German soldiers.
