Japanese transport ships were sunk, 20,000 soldiers floated on the surface of the sea to cry out for help, U.S. captain: greeted with bullets

When it comes to Japan, I believe that most of the Chinese because of what the Japanese army has done to our country, it is still impossible to let go. As one of the first countries to provoke World War II, Japan can be said to have annoyed many countries. The United States is one of them. Although the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was exactly in the hands of the United States, the beams between Japan and the United States were thus concluded.

Japan should still regret that it once dragged the United States into World War II! Looking at the situation of Japan after the United States entered World War II, it can be said that it has lost its advantage in major battlefields. Although in the eyes of China, we will think that the Japanese army was the most cruel country during World War II, but the United States did not have any softness in facing Japan.

It happened in 1944, and World War II seemed to have come to an end. After Japan occupied the Philippines, it intended to increase the philippines' defensive strength. After all, the Philippines is far away in the Pacific, and Japan is separated by a vast sea, so Japan can only use large ships as a means of transportation. At this time, the United States had already detected this big fish. Although Japan was also very "clever" to choose to transport reinforcements in a time of bad weather, it still could not escape the "lunch on the plate" known as the US military. The Americans first sent bombers to attack it, so two of the Japanese ships sank into the sea.

But what really overwhelmed the Japanese was when the night came. Because the radar and sonar technology of the Japanese army at that time was relatively backward, it completely lost its advantage at night. The US army beat the Japanese army to the ground with lightning speed. The next day, 20,000 Japanese troops were seen floating on the surface of the sea like "dumplings". Survival is a person's instinct, so at that time, many Japanese troops called for help from the American army in the hope of helping drowning. In the face of such a "poor" Japanese soldier, the US military did not even ignore it. Therefore, the captain of the US warship ordered the soldiers to provide "fire support" to the Japanese army. Machine guns were fired wildly at the surface of the sea, but because of the limited ammunition, there was no "support" for too long, and at least 300 people were screened despite visual inspections, and after a night of wandering, fewer than 400 people survived.
