Hardcore ruthless starts in the Pacific

Lieutenant Migu shook his head, "I will believe you and report to the Colonel, but your behavior of evacuating the position without order is very serious. If every sergeant and chief Cao behaves like this to you, Second Lieutenant Oda, Second Lieutenant Dolly, How does Warrant Officer Di Yuan control his subordinates, and how do we accomplish our mission here?"

The meaning inside and outside the words is to ask the Sanzhi Army Cao to commit suicide and apologize.

In a highly hierarchical army, it is a felony to go past the immediate superior and go to the immediate superior's immediate superior, even when the war is not in progress, because it will destroy the prestige of the lower-level officers—Sanzhi Juncao did this outrageously. But I was not punished during the period, so can I ignore Second Lieutenant Oda and do the same thing?

Originally, the number of officers in the 14th Division was very short, and it has not been at full strength since it came to the Pacific region. Otherwise, there would not be a situation where there was only one major officer in charge of the defense of the three regions, and most of the rest were lieutenants.

"I will believe you." Lieutenant Migu patted Sergeant Sanzhi on the shoulder and said.

"I understand......"

Suicide and apology have always been a traditional culture within the little devils, and they have to come up with such a set from time to time... But it is undeniable that such behavior can bring some benefits to the Japanese army, such as stabilizing the class, boosting morale, Alleviate contradictions.

For this reason, Lieutenant Migu also called the three lieutenants and most of the non-commissioned officers over, not worried at all that the U.S. military that was different from the past mentioned by Sergeant Sanzhi continued to advance in depth, and envisioned a very bold counterattack plan.

Not to defend, but to counterattack, because he also has a reserve on hand, with a strength of about 1 and a half squads.

He is going to imitate the plan of the male commander of Zhongchuan Prefecture in the Five Sisters Mountain area, and give the attacking US troops a big job.

Sanzhi Juncao committed suicide by dissection in front of all the non-commissioned officers in the 7th, 8th, and 9th areas. His immediate superior, Second Lieutenant Oda, was also arranged to be the intermediary. The officers were very satisfied with this handling method, and the non-commissioned officers Some trembling.

At the moment when the command knife pierced his stomach, Sergeant Sanzhi seemed to be wearing a mask of pain. The piercing pain seemed to drain his strength in an instant, and the squeezed facial features looked particularly ferocious.

It stands to reason that the wrong person should take action at this time, and use the Nanfang Fourteen in his hand to end the pain suffered by Sanzhi Juncao who disobeyed orders and acted without authorization. However, Second Lieutenant Oda, who only learned about this not long ago, was very angry. This guy who dared to go against him died so happily, and by the way, he could also shock the responsible non-commissioned officers in No. 25 and No. 26 districts.

"Ah ah ah..."

Not only was the pain so painful that Sanzhi Juncao let out a scream, but it also caused him great regret and a strong desire to survive that he should have completely abandoned.

"Bastard, cut me up if you're on a horse!"

The enraged Second Lieutenant Oda

He almost went up and slapped a few times, "Is there a weak person like you in the imperial army? It seems that I have to inform your family and tell them that you not only did not die with honor here, but also surrendered to the US military!"

Hearing this sentence, Sanzhi Juncao seemed to be frightened suddenly, his whole body trembled, because the empire would severely punish the family members of any soldiers who behaved badly, and the only way for the family members to escape was the glorious battle die.

The next moment, Sanzhi Juncao suddenly gained strength, and while screaming, he cut the first and second cuts on the stomach completely, and let the intestines in the abdomen spurt out before the end was near. Unfortunately, Second Lieutenant Oda, who hated him so much, did not Fulfilling the duties of the wrong person, but just put away the Southern Fourteen.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant, I think precious bullets should be shot at the enemy instead of being wasted on such scum."

Anyway, I just didn't want to give it a good time. The almost abnormal venting behavior gave Second Lieutenant Oda an unprecedented sense of satisfaction, and also scared the non-commissioned officers under his command.

"Okay, I'm all here, and I'll announce a new battle plan."

Lieutenant Migu hated the actions of the three subordinates, but he had to rely on them to carry out the plan and defend the area, otherwise there would be no need for Sergeant Sanzhi to commit suicide to resolve the conflict between non-commissioned officers and officers.

"Sergeant Suwon, you take over the position of Sergeant Sanzhi to be in charge of Area 27, now take your subordinates and the soldiers who were deployed in Area 27 back to the bunker, but don't open fire—you just need to Observe the U.S. military through the firing port, and I will send you a communication team to monitor the U.S. military's movements anytime and anywhere."

"As ordered."

It was almost noon when Suwon Juncao led the team to set off. After gathering the soldiers, they were dumbfounded when they moved along the narrow and dark tunnel to the No. 27 area.

What about the bunker?What about the bunker?What about the bunker! ! ? ! ? ! ! ?

"What the hell happened!?"

"Go, look elsewhere!"

"Bastard, why did it collapse!?"

If Suwon Juncao had come half an hour earlier, he would have seen the scene where the last bunker numbered 27 in area 119 was stuffed with a large amount of TNT and then exploded.

From beginning to end, the devils defending the U Mountain area have never had a similar sense of imagery in their heads - Lieutenant Mitani paid attention to the judgment of Sergeant Sanzhi and contacted Nakagawa Commander by means of communication tools at the first time, but never worried about the fortress It will be bombed into ruins by the US military.

Not to mention how much explosives are used, can the U.S. military find it without firing?

Therefore, Lieutenant Migu is not worried about this at all, and believes that even if the US military finds a few blasting with a large amount of explosives, it cannot be completed in a short time. Compared with worrying about this unlikely event, it is better to take advantage of this It is an opportunity to call all the non-commissioned officers over to observe the suicide apology of Sanzhi Juncao, and to establish the majesty of the officers.

"How did the U.S. military discover our bunker? Who will tell me how it was discovered! And how did it happen!?"

51. The safe Yiwen makes it impossible for the little devil to find a chance

The most critical thing for a dark fort is "darkness". Hiding in corners and using natural terrain for camouflage and concealment, many times the attacking U.S. military is killed by the dark fort before knowing where it is hiding.

The Battle of Peleliu Island, the Battle of Iwo Jima, and the Battle of Okinawa Island, related cases abound. At the beginning, the number of bunkers in the Japanese defense system was not more than that of Mining Forts. After the Battle of Iwo Jima, the number of Mining Forts decreased. Most of the manpower and material resources are used in the bunker. It can be seen how much lethality this set of tactics has brought to the US military.

"Is our bunker just paper? All the bunkers in Area 27 were destroyed by the U.S. military in two hours?"

"Damn————————————————————————!"

"Damn American troops, damn Yankees!"

After hearing the news, Lieutenant Migu fell into a rage that seemed to be eating people. If he didn't pay attention to the judgment of Sanzhi Juncao, why did he list the information as a key point and report it? The K companies of other American armies are so frantic in order to obtain the greatest results at the least cost.

Until now, Lieutenant Mei Gu felt that the judgment of Sanzhi Juncao was correct but his decision was completely wrong. If he was not dead, he would have wished to go up and screw off his head to vent his anger—of course, what happened after every military operation was over A commander who regrets not doing anything after all kinds of things is a fool.

No matter what decision Sanzhi Juncao makes, the result will not change. Choosing to let his subordinates retreat to area 26 just speeds up this point-preserving troops instead of choosing to save the bunker with the lives of animals means that The bunkers that the Japanese army is proud of are not as good as rifles without bullets. The former is nothing but the latter can be used as a fire stick.

Ivan's method of clearing the bunker has not improved much compared to before, but the deployment of personnel has changed greatly.

When the fortress does not spray bullets, there is no need to pay attention to tactical actions and personnel density, and it is not necessary to select an area and spend the next 30 to 50 minutes to blast. The engineer squad can be helped by infantry who are constantly transporting TNT With 3~4 people as a group, blast 5 suspicious points at the same time.

Although Yiwen didn't know why the Japanese army under his feet suddenly retreated, he could vaguely guess the specific situation.

A heavy punch from K company's attacking firepower team hit the little devil officer. As a result, if you stay put and wait for the U.S. military's tactics that don't care about wasting resources to advance meter by meter, it is better to continue to send soldiers to fill in, in case the U.S. military will no longer carry out third and third operations on the same bunker. What about four kills?

To put it bluntly, Sanzhi Juncao didn’t have the courage to gamble. It’s a pity that Ivan was going to burn it twice before the Japanese ceasefire instead of cleaning up with the main purpose of killing and wounding. It can cause certain damage to the technical arms of the US military, but it will also make Ivan remember the mistakes he made and learn lessons.

"Nohi, report our results, and then I think it's time to let the infantry come to this area to occupy favorable terrain... Today's offensive is better so far."

The overall advance is 160 meters, and the vanguard can still go forward for 40-50 meters. Yiwen thinks that this speed and efficiency are quite good, and another one—maybe it is because the intuition at 3 o'clock is funny, he always feels hairy when he continues to advance Chills down the spine.

"Sir, it's so strange." Nuo Xi said one of the reasons, "This is not like the style of a little devil at all, and suddenly emptied the bunker here."

"I have to think..."

Ivan, lighting a cigarette, brought himself into the ranks of the area's grassroots commanders.

'Why did the Japanese army, who had an order to resist to the end, suddenly retreat? ! '

Confused by Yiwen's combination of punches?

The attack plan customizer himself shook his head and directly denied it, and used the method of elimination to deny some possibilities, and finally got the most likely answer.

First, the harsh environment of the tunnels and the medical security system with garbage to a certain level have caused a lot of non-combat attrition in the Japanese army. They cannot afford to fill them with human lives, and the Japanese garrison officer on Peleliu Island is still in Five Sisters. Setting traps on the mountain is also something that requires concentrated forces to do, and it will weaken the forces in other defensive areas in disguise.

Second, in the case of insufficient troops, either abandon the counterattack plan of Wumeishan Mountain and redeploy troops, or lure the enemy to go deep in this area, and counterattack from the front of Company K through the tunnel system, but from the two flanks.

As mentioned before, the flanks of Company K need the protection of the 5th Marine Regiment and the 321st Infantry Regiment, but the last thing you can count on is friendly forces.

"It's not better to end here, but it must end here—!"

Before Nuoxi could pass back the idea from Yiwen, he was stopped.

"Tell Captain Haldane that we must wait here... to accumulate supplies and wait until the friendly forces can protect our flanks. At the same time, we must send at least one infantry platoon up, arrange several lines of defense for the occupied area and arrange Good lurking post, there must be no negligence at night."

"Aye aye, sir!"

It's not that there is no plan to continue the offensive. When Ivan figured out what the Japanese army wanted to do in this area, he thought of a feasible method-since he couldn't count on the friendly forces on the two wings, why didn't he clean up the two wings himself?

Anyway, the fort here had been blown up, and even if there were tunnels, the Japanese army could not re-enter the bunker in a short period of time. It would take ten days and a half months to dig and clear the bunker manually.

The reason why Ivan chose to stop and arrange defensive deployment is very simple - not every Ma Run has worked like him for a whole morning with little physical exertion, although you can't tell from their faces, but people are exercising Sometimes it will consume physical energy, and there is no doubt that things are in front of us.

The Japanese army on Mount A did not have a large number of tunnels built by the Japanese army on Mount U. It was impossible to get out from the flanks and launch a counterattack against K Company. So at that time, I expected that Ivan, who was organized by K Company today, would decisively let everyone fight. Only a few of Ma Run could bear it, and the rest were exhausted and paralyzed on the ground as if injured, unable to move. It can be seen that the situation at that time can already be described as squeezed dry.

Compared with the previous establishment, the organization is more and larger. When the number of infantry remains the same, the number and frequency of supplies that a single infantry needs to transport has increased by 1.5 to 2 times. With the previous experience, Ma Run’s physical strength can support three infantry soldiers. It is about an hour, but Ivan feels that it is the best strategy to preserve these physical strength and restore them in advance.

——If Company K is forced to go to the flanks to cooperate with friendly forces to launch an attack, choose at most one on the left and right flanks, success is inevitable, but if the little devil sees that he has not lured the enemy to go deep and succeeds, he becomes angry and gets out of the tunnel at night to launch a counterattack. Can the run infantry really hold on?Even if you keep it, what price will you have to pay?

The safe Yiwen made it impossible for the little devil to find a chance.

After Lieutenant Mei Gu heard about the specific situation on the surface, his whole face was gloomy, staring at the map with the location of the bunker marked, unable to say a word.

52. The catfish effect, K Company is a catfish

"Your Excellency, the telegram from the headquarters—!"

"bring here."

Lieutenant Mei Gu, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly regained his energy.

After reading the telegram, he seemed to be reassured, and his whole face beamed with joy. Although some counterattack plans he had conceived were almost aborted, this telegram from Nakagawa Colonel strengthened his determination.

The telegram expressed doubts about whether the U.S. troops that appeared in the 7th, 8th, and 9th areas were the U.S. troops that defeated Captain Morikawa, but asked Lieutenant Mitani to launch a surface counterattack tonight—whether it was or not, he tried every means to inflict maximum damage , Destroy its command system and its core technical arms.

"Lieutenant, this US army has stopped, is it building a defensive position?"

The meaning of the staff officer is very simple. It is better to launch a counterattack now instead of waiting until night falls. After all, the headquarters has judged the US military that defeated Captain Morikawa from the very beginning-this US military is different from other US military forces that use infantry as the main force. The remaining small number of arms are coordinated, but the technical arms are the core and the main force, and a commander who is good at adapting to changes in front of the enemy arranges offensive tasks.

As long as there is a wave of heavy blows, even if they just kill the former enemy commander of the army, they will lose the ability to clean up the bunkers, and they will have no threat in the future.

"Is it against the US military's aircraft and cannon?"

Lieutenant Migu shook his head and said, "It can't be done like this. We don't have enough troops to launch an operation during the day—besides, the Colonel will carry out the last step of the plan tonight."

After thinking for a while, it thinks that the artillery of the U.S. military will not assist the enemy in front tonight, because three infantry companies have already entered the trap on the Five Sisters Mountain defense line. , its headquarters will inevitably use all the heavy artillery.

"The Colonel's view is very simple—whether the enemy in front of us is the American army that defeated Captain Morikawa or not, we must launch a counterattack together tonight."

"If the U.S. Army is in the trap set by the Colonel, we have carefully planned it for so long, not to mention that the annihilation will at least cause heavy casualties. If it is in front of our eyes, will the U.S. Army without heavy artillery support and air support be the opponent of the Locust Army?"

"Notify the reserve team that Suwon Juncao, Second Lieutenant Dolly, and Warrant Officer Di Yuan will launch a counterattack under the cover of night around 1:[-] in the morning."

"Notify the artillery to shoot out all the shells before attacking, and tell all the infantry to shorten the distance to engage the US military as much as possible, choose a main attack direction, use the cover of the other two directions to rush up and throw grenades, and finally get entangled with the US military. We are good at hand-to-hand combat and defeat the enemy in front of us!"

......

......

The attacking firepower team withdrew, and a large number of infantry came up.Originally, Ivan only needed one infantry platoon. After all, the Japanese army did not necessarily have to stand here until dawn if they really launched a counterattack.

It would be a pity to retreat directly without having time to destroy the fortress in this area. Now the place is completely bombed. Unless the Japanese army digs day and night, it is impossible to suddenly come out... So, even if the little devil You can't take back anything even if you launch a counterattack, so there is no need to die here.

On the contrary, preserving the strength of Company K is much more important than defending here. However, Captain Haldane brought up 2 infantry platoons and 6 heavy machine gun squads, which exceeded two-thirds of the normal strength of an infantry company.

Ivan probably knew the reason why he did this - the situation on the division commander's side was not very good, and he had to use actual combat results to help him withstand the pressure from the headquarters.

The division commander who is determined to help Company K should not be shaken by ordinary things, but it is hard to say about extraordinary things-the entire First Marine Division is under the control of this division commander, and some officers are still controlled by him Those who are promoted are the pillars that the major general considers, he may not care about his own future, but he must care about the future of the plastic talents, because he ruins talents, even if he dies, he will die with regret.

Ivan has no doubt that the group of bureaucrats in the headquarters will take advantage of Major General Ruperts' weakness, and Captain Haldane thinks the same way. Therefore, in order for the division commander to continue to withstand the pressure, K Company, which has made breakthrough progress, cannot withdraw. Must stay here.

Thinking of this, Yi Wen resolutely gave up the idea of ​​preserving troops, and concentrated on deploying infantry in groups of 3 to 5 with the hillbilly and sergeant Elder Gun.

The distance between the six infantry groups is between 5 and 8 meters, and a heavy machine gun is used to form a position with both frontal defense and flank cover. There is a second echelon behind them, which can provide firepower at any time Support or direct reinforcements, there are at least three lurking posts on the periphery of each direction that regard themselves as dead.

In addition, Ivan, who has been dubbed the title of "Explosive Expert", also pays special attention to guiding the artillery, and outlines the location of the artillery attack on the tactical map, and gives it to Captain Haldane as soon as possible, and prepares for a battle before sunset. Correct the point of impact within hours - if the Japanese army really dares to launch a counterattack, the artillery of the 11th Marine Regiment will let the beasts taste what it is like to have shells without tunnels.

"By the way, how is the direction of Five Sisters Mountain?"

After Ivan asked Nuoxi to bring the tactical map back to Cannon King, the three of them finally had some free time to find a place to sit and talk about the situation on the battlefield while smoking a cigarette.

"Company I, Company H, and Company C advanced about 300 meters." The country bumpkin rubbed his brows and said, "I didn't encounter much resistance from the Japanese army during the process. Even if I encountered Japanese bunkers, they were mostly Mingbao..."

"I heard a piece of news, and I don't know whether I should say it."

After saying this, Lao Qiang stared at Ivan and the country bumpkin for a while, feeling that he was waiting for his next words, so he continued: "Because K Company has such a huge authority, the other companies of the 5th Marine Regiment are a little bit enthusiastic. They know very well that we rely on strength to obtain all this, so..."

There is no need to say more about the latter. How low the morale of the entire First Marine Division was after passing through the airport on the second day of the war, and how high it is now.

Yiwen didn't expect that Company K would become a catfish in the catfish effect, directly making the enthusiasm of other companies burst. Maybe the army could not get it, but Ma Run and others regarded Company K as the target of catching up and surpassing.

"I said it was a trap!" Ivan frowned.

"They don't take it seriously." Lao Qiang lit a cigarette, "and went in three marine companies at once. If they were surrounded by the Japanese army... I can hardly say that their stupidity will not affect us—at least the artillery support superior."

"Let the M2 60mm mortars in the attacking firepower team cooperate with the 81mm mortars, that's the only way!"

The three marine companies advanced 300 meters deep as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. They hadn't encountered any decent resistance on the way, and it was clear that it was a trap... It was precisely because of this that Company K changed the direction of attack. The huge catfish effect caused made other friendly troops selectively blind and deaf.

The more Ivan looked at it, the more familiar it seemed—isn’t this a replica of the Matanikau River? ?

"Male Gobi, thankfully I am in K Company, the commanders beside me are very sober, and have changed a lot through my own efforts, otherwise... I'm on the horse——! ! ! '

After cursing in their hearts, the three of them looked at each other and immediately stood up, each taking action.

Ivan used communication tools to inform Captain Haldane of the reality that might happen tonight, while the country bumpkin and Old Gun deployed mortars and bazooka squads, except for the main and auxiliary shooters of the M2 flamethrower, all other technical arms had to participate in what might happen tonight Fighting, the former expressed resistance to the fact that he was transferred to the shore and did not need to participate in the battle-although they could not use flamethrowers at night, they could also take up rifles to defend the K company's victory.

Captain Haldane did not use strong orders to solve the problem like other company commanders, but enlightened and persuaded them with earnest words.

There are plenty of battles, and there are so many places that need you, but have you ever thought about how many people can replace your responsibilities?
