my bright sword career

Chapter 646 Annoyed Haruka Hyakutake

Li Sanpao and his party were extremely struggling to stop nearly a hundred Japanese soldiers coming from both sides of the jungle with just six submachine guns. Due to the dense vegetation of the jungle, the distance between the two sides was often less than tens of meters or even more than ten meters when they saw people. Far.

In such terrain, the shortcoming of the slow rate of fire of the bolt rifle was infinitely magnified, and the Japanese army almost rushed into the team several times.

"Clap clap..."

After raising his hand and knocking down a Japanese soldier rushing to the ground, the M1911A1 pistol in his hand heard the sound of the firing pin being emptied.

"Cao Xiaoman, have you fucking changed the bullet?"

"Sir, continue."

At the same time that Li Sanpao emptied the pistol, the wounded rifleman shouted and threw the submachine gun over.Li Sanpao, who took over the submachine gun, pulled the trigger, and almost no need to aim to shoot the approaching Japanese army.

Facing the dense jungle ahead, it was a burst of fire, which happened to knock down two Japanese soldiers who rushed out of the dense forest.

Although Li Sanpao and his party have resisted desperately, a few submachine guns obviously cannot stop the crazy Japanese army. As time goes by, the Japanese army, which was originally suppressed by powerful firepower on the street, has already swung the bayonet on the March [-]th. Rifle rushed over.

"Da da da!"

At such a close distance, the power of the 9×19mm Parabellum pistol was fully displayed, and several Japanese soldiers were knocked down after several shots. One of them had his shoulder torn off by the violent rolling bullet and his arm fell off. down.

"Sir! . . . Ah!"

Li Sanpao heard the roar from behind, and when he turned around, he saw three or four Japanese soldiers rushing two or three meters away. The wounded rifleman rushed forward with his rifle and tried to kill the Japanese soldiers. Dispersed and rushed away, but was instantly stabbed in the chest by several bayonets.

"Da da da……"

When Li Sanpao knocked them down, the rifleman was already covered in blood and fell to the ground.

Just when the situation was critical, there was a continuous burst of gunfire from the flanks of the Japanese army. Dozens of Japanese soldiers who had been hiding in the jungle retreated hastily like rabbits being chased away. It turned out that another search team had arrived.

Seeing the arrival of friendly troops, Li Sanpao's tense nerves finally relaxed. You must know that the six 32-round magazines he carried had already been emptied. It's over.

After the two sides met, the two platoon leaders summed up, and it was impossible to continue to move forward in this situation.

They contacted the rear command through the radio, and the command agreed to their request to retreat.

A group of dozens of people took the wounded and dead companions and began to retreat.

However, they had already gone deep into Tululu Mountain, and their retreat was extremely difficult. They encountered Japanese resistance on the road from time to time, and they were surrounded by hundreds of Japanese troops just after retreating five or six miles.

Li Sanpao and more than 40 surviving soldiers came to a small lake, used the open space of hundreds of meters around the lake to build a temporary line of defense against the Japanese army, and called for emergency reinforcements from the Air Force.
-
"Tuan Zuo, report from the front, two of our search platoons are surrounded by Japanese troops, and the situation is urgent."

In the headquarters, Chi Yaohui hurried to Gao Hongming to report.

"Have reinforcements been dispatched?" Gao Hongming asked.

Chi Yaohui replied: "It has been dispatched, but it will take at least two hours to arrive."

"Two hours, are you collecting the bodies for them?" Gao Hongming stared, "Where's the plane? Why didn't you take off?"

"I have already ordered the plane to dispatch, but the problem is that the location of the incident is a jungle area, and the pilot's vision will be greatly restricted. Even if it is bombed, the effect may not be ideal."

"Idiot, who told you to use high-explosive bombs, tell the people in the flight squadron to burn those Japanese bastards with incendiary bombs!" Gao Hongming cursed with wide eyes.

Li Sanpao and other soldiers in the search platoon by the small lake had already run out of bullets in their submachine guns, so they could only rely on 98K rifles to stop the Japanese troops who were close at hand.

Every soldier wished that the rifle in his hand could be turned into a machine gun or a submachine gun. Although the 98K rifle was powerful, under the impact of the Japanese army regardless of casualties, the powerful firepower in the eyes of the soldiers seemed extremely weak at this time.

Just when the dozens of soldiers who gave birth at the end were almost desperate, they heard the roar of the plane overhead. One soldier instinctively pulled out a flare gun, rushed forward and pulled the trigger over the Japanese army. A trail of white smoke flashed red. Light flares flew into the sky with a high-pitched sound.

Accompanied by the launch of the signal flare, there was a burst of dense and dull gunshots. The Japanese army that had been flooding in like a tide stopped abruptly, and then a large number of Japanese troops fell to the ground.

I saw a F8F Panda fighter plane painted in blue roaring and swooping down. The four Colt-Browning 12.7mm machine guns arranged on both sides of the wing poured out flames at the same time, tearing the Japanese soldiers running on the ground to pieces. .

"Long live the Air Force!"

Seeing the arrival of their own plane, the surviving soldiers cheered. Amidst the cheers, the Panda fighter jet dropped a bomb mounted on its belly.

"Run, it's an incendiary bomb!"

The soldiers who were yelling with excitement just now saw the bombs dangling down from the parachutes, and their faces changed drastically. Everyone ran in the opposite direction like rabbits chased by hyenas.

But all the soldiers of the Liantai militia are no strangers to incendiary bombs, they would rather be hacked to death than be licked by it.

"Tom!"

Less than five seconds after they ran, there was a muffled sound behind them, followed by a scorching heat wave, and a heart-pounding wail resounded in the sea of ​​flames. Dozens of Japanese soldiers covered in fire rushed out desperately. Flames, as they ran, these people dragged flames enough to melt steel and scattered around the jungle.

The fighter planes in the sky obviously had no intention of giving up. They dived, flew low, and dropped bombs. More than 20 napalm bombs ranging from [-] kilograms to [-] kilograms were successively thrown around the spacious lake.

The entire lake was completely engulfed in orange-red flames, and hell-like wailing resounded through the sky. Japanese soldiers covered in flames could be seen rushing out from time to time in the sea of ​​flames. Many fell to the ground and then stood up struggling.

"what!"

A soldier in the search platoon who hadn't escaped in time suddenly let out a heart-piercing howl. Li Sanpao looked around and saw a ball of flames burning on his arm. hand, trying to pat the flames on his arm.

"Don't shoot."

Li Sanpao, who was closest to him, roared and rushed forward and pressed him to the ground hard, holding his comrade's arm tightly.

The most vicious thing about napalm bombs is that it is a paste-like object. If you slap it, it will only make the burning area bigger and bigger, and eventually it will burn all over your body.

"Sapper shovel, quickly use the sapper shovel!"

Li Sanpao, who was struggling to hold down his comrade in arms, roared loudly, and another soldier beside him quickly took out a folding engineering shovel from his pocket, and scraped and burned his arm with the shovel head.

"Zi..."

Accompanied by the sound of the scorched skin being scraped off, the wounded soldier uttered a howling scream, and the scorched skin that was scraped off was still burning on the engineer shovel.

Seeing the soldier who had lost a large piece of his flesh struggling and howling, Li Sanpao held him tightly and shouted, "Hurry up and give him a painkiller injection!"

While the soldiers were struggling to rescue their comrades in arms, the area around the lake that had been shrouded in flames gradually burned down, leaving only hundreds of struggling and screaming Japanese soldiers,

Why countries in the world have called for the prohibition of the use of incendiary bombs in later generations, it is because this is an extremely inhumane weapon.

Once the burning napalm splashes on people, the fat in the human body will become a violent combustion accelerant, and the more fat it burns, the longer it will burn.

Seeing the Japanese soldiers howling in the sea of ​​flames, Li Sanpao, who couldn't stand it anymore, was about to raise his gun when he was forced down by the second lieutenant beside him.

"Don't shoot, burn these bastards to death!" The second lieutenant's voice was icy cold. During the battle just now, nearly half of his platoon's soldiers fell in the dense forest.

The second lieutenant looked around, raised the flare gun again, and pulled the trigger towards the dense forest on the right. Those devils hiding in the jungle should be handed over to the air force. Their most important task now is to take the wounded and sacrificed Comrades return to camp.

In the dense jungle, a red flare will sound from time to time. Each flare means that a search team needs air support. The direction of the signal flare is the location of the enemy. For search teams without heavy fire support, Airplanes are their only support.

Although the air support they depend on is not always available, is very dangerous, and is always accompanied by fratricide, it is still an indispensable fire support for the search team.

In a dense jungle, more than a dozen tents were lined up. Lieutenant General Hyakutake Haruki, the commander of the Seventeenth Army of the Japanese Army, sat on the ammunition box and listened to the reports from his subordinates.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the front line reports that our troops in the east have found several Chinese search troops. Terai Koji, who is currently stationed in Tululu Mountain, is ordering the troops to expel those Chinese troops."

"How's the result?" The emaciated Momotake Haruki asked immediately.

The staff officer hesitated for a moment, then said after deliberation: "There is an effect of expulsion, but Colonel Terui Koji reported that their troops suffered a lot of losses, especially when the Chinese used planes to throw incendiary bombs, and he lost all of them in just one afternoon." down to the strength of two squadrons."

"Tell Koji Terui to let him withdraw his troops."

Haruki Hyakutake shook his head, "The Chinese now have air superiority, and our troops will be attacked violently by them as soon as they are spotted.

Instead of carrying out unnecessary expulsion, it is better to preserve the troops and wait for the Chinese to launch an attack on Mount Tululu before launching a fatal blow to them. "

"Hi!"

After sending away the staff, Haruki Hyakutake stood up and walked out of the tent. Looking at the wet ground and the sky with almost no sunshine above his head, he suddenly became irritable. Expulsion from Guadalcanal?
