Chapter 9 - -The Naval Landing Force is born-

The Empire of Japan launched a fierce attack on Hawaii with the G7.

As a result, the repaired airfields and naval bases were engulfed in flames again, completely losing their functions.

At that time, they threatened to take Hawaii if the United States did not make peace with them.

It seems that even the United States realized that this was no threat, as intelligence confirmed that a transport ship loaded with tanks and infantry was leaving the mainland for Hawaii.

The Empire of Japan has a few weaknesses.

Unlike the United States, they did not have a Marine Corps.

Until now, landings on the island have not been common, so this has not been necessary.

But as battlefields change, so do armies.

The important thing was to occupy and defend the important islands quickly and surely.

When this idea was proposed within the Navy, the Army surprisingly provided two infantry divisions.

The relationship between the Army and Navy was good, and this plan soon became a reality.

The unit was named Naval Landing Force (a name I made myself) and training began.

The training will take place at Kujukuri Beach in Chiba Prefecture, and will also serve as a promotional opportunity.

First, they launched an attack using battleships and aircraft, and then the Marine Corps landed on the coast in landing craft.

They quickly establish positions on the coast using ground weapons including tanks and armored vehicles.

It was a truly excellent training.

The Navy also began developing new weapons to support the Marine Corps.

Based on the hull of a heavy cruiser, all machine guns and anti-aircraft guns were removed and instead as many long-range guns as possible were installed.

Additionally, new aircraft were developed to support the landings.

The bottom of the Zero fighter's fuselage was armored to prevent it from crashing due to anti-aircraft fire from the ground, and the 20mm machine gun was removed and replaced with six 12mm machine guns.

In addition, five 15mm machine gun mounts were installed on the bottom of the G4M and under theĀ Bomb rip-off of napalm

was hung.

The Hawaiian landings were about to begin...
