Hardcore ruthless starts in the Pacific

Since Ivan can know the result, he can lock where the bunker is when Bart does it. Therefore, the second flamethrower does not need to miss any suspicious places like the first one, and calls the second one. The three are just to guard against the inexplicable failure of the 30 kg iron can.

Ivan's operation is not hard except for putting a group of technical arms in danger at any time, and he spends most of the time waiting.

It's just that the Japanese commander in this area, as well as the little devil who was sharpening his knife, had a bad luck to meet Yiwen, a hateful lunatic.

48. Extinct again?Another flamethrower! ?

"What, what did you say!?"

In the closed underground tunnel, Lieutenant Oda, who had endured the damp and stench for more than half a month, grabbed the collar of the messenger in front of him and said angrily, "The Yankees discovered the bunker No. 115? Impossible, absolutely impossible! Area 27 There are 5 dark castles inside, enough for the Yankees to fight, but you tell me that the dark castles are safe and sound, but the locust army in the dark castle died first!?"

"It's true, it's absolutely true, it's a flamethrower... it can only be a flamethrower—!"

How could the shivering messenger bear the anger of a lieutenant, looking at the officer in front of him with bloodshot eyes as if he was about to kill someone, he almost peed on his pants.

"Could it be that the idiot Sanzhi Juncao was exposed in advance?" After letting go of his hand, Second Lieutenant Oda rubbed his brows and said.

"The Sergeant asked me to tell you that people have now re-entered the No. 115 bunker. Maybe the Yankees were lucky just now."

"Since I know what I should do, why did I ask you to do it!?" Second Lieutenant Oda glared at the messenger.

"Your Excellency Sergeant Cao asked me to ask you to send more troops. Although he couldn't see the situation outside, he judged from the fire coverage of the US military. It is very likely that he encountered the US army that defeated Captain Morikawa in just one day. …”

It has to be said that quite a few low-level non-commissioned officers in the Japanese army have an astounding sense of the battlefield. They did not go to the surface to observe and only fought with K Company for more than an hour. They made accurate judgments through vibration and sound. They are sharp enough to be a squadron leader. .

It's just that the more such non-commissioned officers are, the harder it is to be reused, because they have been excluded from the mainstream from beginning to end. If you complain a few words, you will be beaten up by the chief. Such a person is so light-hearted, even if it turns out that the judgment at the time was extremely correct in hindsight, he will not change the deployment according to his own will.

"Bastard! He still has the face to ask me for reinforcements!?"

The second lieutenant Oda, who was yelling at him, kicked the messenger flying, and his whole body was full of murderous intent: "If it weren't for this idiot who didn't manage his subordinates well, would there be such a shortage of troops? Of the 13 people, 9 of them suffered from dysentery, 4 of them suffered from malaria, and finally 1 just died yesterday!"

"These soldiers who should have sacrificed their lives for the empire were killed by him, and now they still have the face to come to me for reinforcements?"

The advantages of tunnels are obvious, but the disadvantages are also obvious-there is a very harsh natural environment, and there will be a lot of bugs and mice that you don’t know where they come from. Biting the bullet will give you a sudden bite when you relax.

The mouth of this thing often carries terrible bacteria and viruses that can kill people.

If you are lucky, soldiers with strong immunity can escape the catastrophe, but many soldiers will not be so lucky.However, the Japanese army did not pay much attention to the medical security system. If you are a non-commissioned officer and you are sick, you can still get care and treatment. If you are a big soldier... there is no other way but to destroy yourself.

Commander Nakagawa Prefecture must have thought about this issue and collected a lot of medicines beforehand. However, the objective conditions of the Japanese medical security system are a pile of shit. Maybe it can barely maintain the war against the harsh environment after a week or so. The disease, now we can only give up completely and let the sick soldiers figure out their own solutions.

Second Lieutenant Oda seems to cherish the lives of soldiers very much, but in fact, the non-combat attrition due to illness has a close relationship with him.

For example, the food gnawed by some mice, or the food that fell into the drain should not be eaten and cannot be eaten, but in order to save food, he did not hesitate to order No. 25, No. 26, and No. 27 to belong to the 9th district. The little devil bit the bullet and ate the food that had been judged to be bad, and the dirty fresh water could not be wasted.

In just one week, more than 30 dysentery patients appeared, directly draining the reserve team on hand. Lieutenant Oda must have realized his wrong order, but not only firmly stated that "those weak guys are not qualified to be "Imperial soldiers", and began to blame their subordinates, and then they will always eat clean food and drink clean fresh water.

"Tell Sergeant Sanzhi that I will not send him alone—!"

"But......"

The messenger got up from the ground and still did not give up, "The Sergeant told me that I must convince you that the US military is different this time, completely different! Please believe..."

"To shut up!"

Second Lieutenant Oda, who directly pulled out the lieutenant's knife, clamped the blade around the neck of the messenger, and angrily said: "You actually question the judgment of your Excellency? The US army that defeated Captain Morikawa? That US army has been fooled, and it will be in five days in a few days. The Sisters Mountain fell into the sand!"

"..."

"I order you now, go back and join the battle, and tell Sergeant Sanzhi—if he loses his position, he must commit suicide to apologize to the locust!"

Helpless, the messenger could only walk quickly to the command post of Sanzhi Juncao.

Before he even entered, he heard the sound of his immediate boss hitting the table with his fist.

"It's off again, it's the flamethrower again—!?"

"This wave of US troops... this wave of US troops...!"

In the case of non-combat attrition of 13 soldiers, it is already difficult for Sanzhi Juncao to maintain the normal operation of the fortress system in the 27th area. Now two waves of more than 5 soldiers were burned to death by the US military on the spot, which exacerbated the shortage of troops. dilemma.

He has no extra troops to supplement the No. 115 bunker, unless he fills it in... It's just that the situation he encounters now makes him believe in his judgment even more - General Nakagawa's plan will definitely fail, and it will only take one day The American army that defeated Captain Morikawa did not attack from the direction of Five Sisters Mountain at all!

Sanzhijun Cao is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that the entire 9th region will be breached by such an unusual US army, because the 9th, 8th, and 7th regions are responsible for the connection between the north and the south of the U Mountain Locust Army.

"Sir..."

"What did Second Lieutenant Oda say?"

The messenger hesitated for a while, but he repeated the matter as if his immediate superior would not blame him.

"Stupid, so stupid!"

Cao Sanzhi was so angry that he almost overturned the podium, "Such a commander will kill everyone in the area of ​​No. 27... No, there are No. 25 and No. 26, no—absolutely no , I must find Lieutenant Migu!"

The Japanese army's defensive deployment on Mount U was divided into 12 large areas, and then divided into 36 small areas. The numbers of the fortresses ranged from 1 to 516, and now the total number has dropped to 373.There is one person in charge for each of the 3 regions, among which the direction of Wusisters Mountain is divided into the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd regions. The person in charge is the captain of the 15rd Battalion of the 3th Infantry Regiment and the only major commander. In addition to the strength of the tunnels and deep bunkers, there is a reserve team of more than 500 people.

It was a batch of mobilized and mobilized by the male commander of Nakagawa Prefecture...the swords that were about to be unsheathed specially prepared for Company K.

It's a pity that Ivan hated the rigid command system of the US military too much. He hated the step-by-step fixed process, and tried his best to change the combat deployment.

The strength of the Japanese army on Peleliu Island is not very ideal now, and more than 500 people were deployed as a reserve team, but it did not affect the other three sides. The person in charge has the strength to ensure that each bunker has 1 to 3 people, that is, the reserve The troops are relatively small.

Non-combat attrition within Region 9 is quite common outside Regions 1, 2, and 3, but not as severe.

At least a week ago, in the No. 27 community, Sanzhi Juncao still had a 13-person detachment to undertake the task of the reserve team.

"Send the order, everyone terminates the original combat plan, and transfers the ammunition to the 26th cell—!"

Hearing this, the orderly who dared to persevere until the last moment in front of Second Lieutenant Oda was frightened.

"Sir, you are disobedient on the battlefield!"

"Let me take all the responsibilities, and you can pass the order!"

There is not much problem with the decision of Sanzhi Juncao, because he firmly believes in his own judgment-the opponent he encountered is not an ordinary US military, and the previous tactics will not have any effect.

He was very right, but he couldn't stand the pig teammate, and even said that this guy's changed tactics actually helped Company K.

"Cease fire?"

"It might be a trap..." Ivan fell into deep thought.

49. We in the United States of America have shells and explosives

Ceasefires in military operations are not uncommon, and most of them have changed the combat plan, but the ceasefire in hand-to-hand combat is different.

It may be that the temporary ceasefire made the attackers think that the locust army in Mingbao was empty or withdrawn, or it may be withdrawing directly or preparing to leave the tunnel to launch a counterattack against the U.S. Army... Originally, he thought that retreat was not an option. It must be within the scope of the Japanese army's plan.

"Gamble?"

Burning the bunker twice still did not cause the internal ammunition to explode, which means that the Japanese army may send troops to sneak in, but he thinks that the third re-drilling should not be faster than the second time, if it is not for the Mingbao's ceasefire. It suddenly made him puzzled, otherwise he would have arranged for fire-breathing soldiers to attack Mingbao.

"Schneider, go and burn the bunker!"

"As ordered, sir."

"Akai, you go to burn Mingbao!"

The sudden ceasefire of the Japanese army guarding the strong bunker made Ivan feel very bad.

It was still rattling one second, and the next second was quiet only the sound of guns and artillery from the distant non-K company battlefield area, so he immediately abandoned the original battle plan, adjusted the plan, and went up in one breath Two flame-breathing soldiers cooperate with each other, one against the dark fort and the other against the bright fort.

Regardless of whether there was a notification sound in his ears, Ivan would know what the little devil was doing.

When the fire-breathing soldiers set off, Ivan did not forget to ask Nuoxi to contact the two engineering squads in the rear, requesting to reach the former enemy commander as quickly as possible, and to ask the gun king to send someone to transport the TNT up.

After changing the original combat plan, Ivan will also change the goals set this morning. Anyway, the division commander, Major General Ruperts, can help Company K withstand all the pressure, so there is no need to worry about the headquarters being forced there.

How big of a problem would it be to directly mobilize a division commander during the campaign? What happened in Saipan has become a lesson for the US military. Ivan knew that the headquarters was in a hurry, but as long as the division commander faced it with a tough attitude, those gangs would face the map. The pointing guy can only pinch his nose to settle accounts.

How many meters did you advance today?No, no, no, no, at least not in the morning!

The goal of consuming a lot of supplies was changed to find out all the dark castles near the 5 Ming castles. Ivan felt that there were at least 3 dark castles, and there might be more.

Ivan doesn't care whether there is a tunnel system connecting the Ming and Dark Forts here, as long as it has always existed and is difficult to destroy. After adapting to the situation, he feels that the first stage of the attack should not focus on destroying the fortress, but on killing the Japanese troops who are constantly replenishing their positions. host.

As long as you find out the location of the bunker thoroughly, after eating and recovering your physical strength, you can directly pull up 10 M2 flamethrower main shooters, and let the two flamethrowers act together like now, and cooperate with each other to burn 4~6 fortresses in one breath. The little devil in the house.

Until the number of devils in the area is reduced to the point where it is impossible to fill the space, then move forward and carry out blasting. As for how long it takes to stay, it depends on how many troops the Japanese army has to fill the space-it is difficult for the engineering squad to go forward and cooperate with the fire-breathing soldiers. Too large and too many people lead to a too large target and a super high risk. It is very easy to think beautifully but various problems arise.

Commanders must be able to bear risks, but they must put an end to all actions where the risks are greater than the benefits - the benefits of a steady and steady operation far outweigh the risks, so why increase the difficulty?

To be honest, if the Japanese army hadn’t ceased fire suddenly and made Ivan so suspicious, I really didn’t think of such a plan for a while... After all, the commander gambled his life for K, plus the first reincarnation Influenced, he was still a little eager for success in directing the offense.

'Hey...almost missed a good tactic, and almost forgot one of the simplest truths. '

After all, the formations set up by the Japanese army on Peleliu Island depended on people to implement them. Previously, Ivan was too obsessed with blowing up the Japanese fortress into ruins, because doing so could minimize accidents.

Its ultimate core goal is still the inertial thinking of the US military-war is to advance and counter-advance.

Completely implement the promotion as the main goal.

To be honest, Major General Ruperts, who has already angered the headquarters, does not expect to get any good treatment after the war. He might as well support the officers of Company K while he still has a few days to go. All decisions.

The core officers of the company fully supported Ivan's plan.

So, why should advance be the main goal instead of killing devils?

"If you save land and lose people, you will lose all people and land; if you save people and lose land, you will gain everyone and land!" '

The strategic thinking contained in this sentence caused the Japanese army to fall into a quagmire-the defensive area was constantly compressed, and the more counterattack plans that could be implemented after losing more bunkers, the rarer it was.The purpose of turning Five Sisters Mountain into a trap is to gain more space for movement. For this reason, the other three areas must be fully resisted without giving up any of the bunkers.

However, Ivan changed the combat deployment of Company K and did not plunge into the trap. During the two-hour battle today, he thought of the best cleaning plan at present... When the devils from the east, north, and west In order to cooperate with the operation of the Five Sisters Mountain, it is necessary to continuously send animals to fill the positions. K Company can use this method to inflict huge damage on it. Coupled with the inevitable non-combat attrition, many bunkers will be destroyed without attacking!

I will not rush, I will take turns burning here.If you send people to fill the seats, you will be burned to death one by one. If you don’t send people to fill the seats, I will call the engineers to go up and blast.

"..."

The action of the fire-breathing soldiers is over, and the battlefield is still very quiet during the period.

"Choose to save your troops and retreat?"

When the two fire-breathing soldiers came back, the engineering squad just arrived at Ivan's side, and they deployed combat missions without saying a word.

Half a minute later, the engineers rushed out and arrived at the designated area as quickly as possible. After countless blasts, they had reached a certain level of proficiency—first, they used enough TNT to blast a hole at the entrance of the bunker, and then blasted more The TNTs that were used were connected and stuffed into the bunker, usually all the TNT carried by the engineers, and the two engineering squads cooperated to blow up a bunker. If this is not possible, you have to doubt the quality of the TNT produced by the Yankees.

"3, 2, 1, detonate—!"

Watching a small mushroom ascend to the sky, and a large number of flying stones splashing in all directions, Ivan felt very happy.

There is one thing to say, there is no need to download so much TNT, the weight of TNT carried by a single engineer squad is enough, but Ivan just doesn't want to make a mistake.

"We in the United States of America have shells and dynamite, and I like to hear the sound of explosions, it gives me great pleasure!"

By the time the second fortress was blown up, it had only been 7 minutes since the last fortress was blasted, which was a full 10 minutes faster than on October 1st, and it could even speed up the efficiency.

It took 1.5 hours to solve the last fortress, during which the Japanese army seemed to disappear.

Yiwen didn't know how hard the Japanese commander in the area, Sergeant Sanchi, worked and how miserable the end was.

50. What about the bunker?What about the bunker?What about the bunker! ! ? ! ? ! ! ?

Lieutenant Meigu criticized Sanzhi Juncao as soon as he saw him. When he learned that he had withdrawn all troops from Area 27 to Area 26, he cursed a lot, but it was not without giving him a chance to explain. .

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant, you must believe in me, and you cannot only believe in what you believe in like Second Lieutenant Oda."

"I will, you tell me."

Sanzhi Juncao immediately expressed his judgment.

"..."

Lieutenant Mitani, who was in charge of the 7th, 8th, and 9th regions, looked at this insignificant non-commissioned officer in the Japanese military system with some horror, and then fell into a long silence.

If you believe in your subordinates, you still believe in the officer who is already directly under you. Lieutenant Mitani must believe in Nakagawa Nakagawa more, because since the U.S. military logged in on September 9, there are still less than 15 locust troops left, but it has caused damage to the U.S. military The casualties of more than 1 people were calculated in a ratio of about 300:4000, but nearly 1.2 of the more than 1 casualties of the Locust Army were non-combat attrition.

If the higher-ups can seriously consider General Nakagawa's proposal and provide more medicines to treat malaria, dysentery, and various tropical diseases, so that the number of non-combat attrition will not be so exaggerated, 700 people can fight a huge battle in some areas. victory.

Even without these 700 people, under the wise command of Nakagawa Nakagawa, the locust army has achieved one of the few similar battle loss ratios since the beginning of the Pacific War. Looking at a series of island battles, it is rare to have such casualties of 12 Japanese troops. At the same time, it can also cause 10 casualties to the U.S. military. In most cases, it takes 3 to 5 Japanese troops to kill or injure 1 U.S. army.

Nakagawa Prefecture's male commander broke the myth of American firepower in the Pacific region. Do you need any reason to believe him unconditionally?

However, the commander-level officer who had no chance to get in touch with at first became the immediate boss. When issuing orders, he repeatedly asked the officers not to follow the original defensive deployment without thinking, and must learn to adapt to the situation on the battlefield and use their own subjective. Mobility, especially the non-commissioned officers who collide head-on with the U.S. military, change their defense deployment at any time based on the intelligence collected in various battles.

"Sanzhi-kun, what will happen to you if I believe everything you say?" Lieutenant Migu closed his eyes slightly when he said this.

"Willing to be on the front line."

"Do not......"
