- Manila, Philippines, Naval Landing Forces Frontline Base -
"Everyone, have you got the outline of the operation down? We're going to take America's forward base!"
The base was abuzz with excitement at the Marine Corps' first battle. Of course, this landing operation was top secret, but it seemed that it wasn't going to be that way.
This operation will be the most devastating and costliest operation since the start of the war, but taking control of Hawaii is essential to ending the war.
The biggest operation since the founding of the Imperial Navy has finally begun. The participants in this operation are
Yamato-class battleship: 1
Yamato-class aircraft carriers: 2
Landing support ships: 12
Large aircraft carriers: 6
Large transport ships: 15
It is a large fleet including
First, aircraft took off from all the carriers.
As many fighter planes loaded with ground attack equipment as they could carry headed for the third attack on Pearl Harbor.
-Pearl Harbor-
"They're back! The Japs! Send the fighter jets flying!"
Although the previous attack had destroyed much of the enemy's runway, 30% of it had already been repaired.
Then the F4U Corsair came up again, its engine roaring.
He was again shot down by a Zero fighter, but escaped unscathed.
Up to this point, everything was as expected.
However, combat always brings with it the unexpected.
However, combat always brings with it the unexpected.
The fighter pilot was astonished to see the large number of tanks lined up in the square.
Moreover, the turrets are raised to their maximum capacity and anti-aircraft shells are fired.
The unfortunate Zero pilot's plane was engulfed in flames.
The tank fire continues, and the fighter planes fall one after another.
The squadron leader remained calm and immediately ordered all planes to retreat.
From there it was a truly successful retreat. All the planes turned around, firing smoke screens as they returned to base.
Hawaii was engulfed in flames for the third time by the fierce bombardment of battleships led by Yamato.
The tanks were reduced to wreckage and the landing site was leveled.
Finally, one battalion boarded a landing craft and began to land. It was a simple job of stacking sandbags on the beach and setting up machine guns. The moment one of the soldiers stepped on the beach, enemy soldiers suddenly appeared.
They must have fired a large number of bombs and shells at the enemy's base as well as the coast.
Simple: the enemy had dug a hole underground.
It's like the Battle of Iwo Jima.
To experience that humiliation...
However, these were the Empire's strongest soldiers, selected from the Imperial Army. They wouldn't let them go unpunished.
The soldier, shot in the arm, detonated both grenades he was carrying and ran towards the enemy machine gun position.
As casualties occur, soldiers descend from the landing craft carrying bulletproof boards.
Then, soldiers armed with the Army's masterpiece, Type 100 submachine guns, are deployed and wipe out the enemy.
The enemy on the beach was successfully cleared at great cost.
The Rising Sun flag was certainly flying on the path of corpses lying on the beach.
