Hardcore ruthless starts in the Pacific

53. You have grenade tactics, I have mortar tactics

After sunset, the whole company will be on alert. Each infantry team will have 2 people on duty, and the lurking post outside cannot be relaxed even for a minute.

It was like this in the first half of the night, and it was like this in the second half of the night.

Yiwen's habit of repeatedly exhorting cannot be changed. Many words are repeated again and again, and Ma Run's ears have calluses.

A brainwashing method was used to achieve an outstanding effect—the counterattack launched by the Japanese army tonight was supported by a small amount of artillery fire, but before the gang of turtles opened fire, the lurking post had already discovered a little bit of the Japanese army approaching the K company's defensive position.

"boom--!"

The Japanese army, which was supposed to be a sneak attack, fired the first shot or the first shot, but the lurking sentry fired warning shots as soon as they noticed the Japanese army. The next moment, Ivan woke up from his sleep and shouted: "Enemy attack——!!! "

Accompanied by the yelling of the former enemy commander, Ma Run, who was already awake on duty, immediately woke up the comrades beside him. A few seconds later, gunshots erupted on the ground. No matter where the Japanese army was, they had to empty a round of bullets first.

"Boom boom boom boom—!"

"Da da da da da-!"

"Tom tom tom tom tom——!"

The Japanese army, who was still a hundred meters away from the U.S. position, was itchy with anger. While cursing inwardly, "Which turtle grandson exposed himself?" while trembling in front of a large number of flying bullets, he didn't know whether to retreat or continue to attack.

Facing the iron barrel-like US military positions, as long as they are not close enough to throw grenades, facing the excess firepower coming from the position, the "sneak attack" that can already be declared as a tactical target has become a bubble.

The impact was so great that it reduced the power by more than half. Warrant Officer Di Yuan, who led the team, felt that the best solution now was to retreat. Forcibly launching an offensive would only cause the small number of troops to die in vain at the gunpoint of the US military. under.

However, the sky was filled with shells fired by our own artillery, and the weak fire that bloomed after falling on the US position forced Warrant Officer Di Yuan to launch an attack.

There are many sober officers among the little devil officers on Peleliu Island, but they often have to do it even though they know they shouldn't do it.

Just like now.

There are not many shells left in total, and all of them are empty for the counterattack tonight. If no attack is launched, all these shells will be wasted.

Warrant Officer Di Yuan who decisively chose to withdraw did not say that every soldier participating in the counterattack would survive and continue to hold on, at least there would be no huge casualties.

Just by doing so, he will inevitably follow the old path of Sanzhi Juncao - you led the team back after firing all the shells?

Even if he tried his best to justify himself, telling his colleagues and his boss that the situation he encountered at that time was no longer a sneak attack, but a prepared U.S. military waiting for you to attack.

The probability of a successful counterattack is no longer low but zero, and at the same time, the casualties of one's own side will be very large.

However, the traditions in the Japanese military system cannot tolerate such a "failed" former enemy commander. After returning, Warrant Officer Di Yuan must commit suicide to apologize, but the tortured appearance of Sergeant Sanzhi is vivid.

Going forward is death, retreating is death and torture, Warrant Officer Di Yuan felt that no one would choose the latter.

"Fire—!"

If the counterattack is really successful, wouldn't everything be avoided?

Accompanied by their own weak artillery, the machine gunners and the infantry began to use the guys on hand to pull the planes against the US positions.

After 3 minutes, the Japanese army’s shells ran out, and a total of thirty or forty rounds were fired, and because the target could not be identified with the naked eye at night, in addition to deterring the US army, they could not cause too much damage. A certain amount of cover was provided, allowing them to advance more than ten meters to K Company's position.

It’s just that the closer you get to the US military position, the stronger the firepower you’ll be suppressed. It’s very difficult to get close to 20-30 meters and throw a grenade. Warrant Officer Di Yuan fired a signal flare representing “Strong Attack”—the first echelon , The second echelon grabbed the grenade and charged towards the US military position.

"Your Majesty, onboard—onboard—onboard—!"

Facing the roar of mountains and tsunami in three directions, Ivan, who had always remained calm and rational, breathed a sigh of relief.

If there is anything to fear most tonight, it is that the Japanese army has enough artillery shells to cover the infantry's approach to their positions.There is no need for animals to rush into one's own position, only need to reach a position of 20-30 meters and throw a grenade in to temporarily tear through the defense line.

"Nuoxi, tell Lieutenant Eddie that the enemy's three-axes attack is over, and it's time for our artillery to counterattack—!"

"Aye aye, sir!"

In fact, there is no need to use communication tools to inform the bumpkins of the situation on the front line. group>[email protected]#0#%1&>7>４%5$+9*-4+&9$8没的‘板载’声就是最佳的信号。

"Choo Choo Choo--!"

The flaring flares that took off took a clear picture of the perimeter of Company K's position. The Ma Runs on the right wing saw waves of beasts charging towards their side with crazy faces. They carried belts in one hand. There is a Type 99 rifle with a bayonet, and a Type 97 grenade in the other hand, and several grenades that can be removed at any time are hung on the body.

"Fire-fire-don't let them get close to throwing grenades, kill these beasts for me!!!"

There are 6 heavy machine guns on the ground until now, and a dense firepower network was formed at the moment of firing, rushing to the south, north, and east directions, and several Japanese soldiers fell down with just one long shot. The rest of the Japanese army immediately rolled over to find a cover to avoid and fired back, but their firepower was so weak that it was not as dense as when they lined up to shoot.

Being able to achieve this level despite the wise decision of its commander is more the result of Ivan's constant urging like a repeater - the Japanese army still has shells, and heavy machine guns are inconvenient to transfer, and it is impossible to seize the best opportunity. Don't open fire and expose yourself.

The little devils who were surrounded on three sides didn't have the firepower they should be surrounded by three sides at all. As the main attack direction of the Japanese army, the animals of the two units on the right wing were suppressed by dense bullets only five or six meters away. The complex and tortuous mountain terrain also made this Gang guys can't spread out, and they will only be smashed into a sieve by machine gun fire if they are concentrated.

The next thing they need to face is a set of tactics they used to be best at - machine gun fire suppression, curved fire killing.

"Bang bang bang-!"

After each mortar shell landed, it would cause casualties to the Japanese army, and the right wing, which was the main direction of the Japanese army's attack, was taken care of particularly frequently.

It stands to reason that the three directions are shouting "onboard", and the former enemy commander in the center of the position should not be very clear about where the Japanese army put the main attack direction.

In fact, Ivan didn’t know much about it when he was deployed yesterday afternoon, but he knew the general idea as soon as the battle started—the front and the left wing could not shout at all, while the right wing shouted softly and there was movement. Most of the previous deterrent shells landed on the right wing. defensive line.

If you don't understand this, the former enemy commander should be shot.

"Nuoxi, keep the rear flares from stopping, hold on for me—!"

After Ivan left this sentence, he thought about how to use the reserve team of an infantry squad on hand. At present, it seems that no matter whether it only includes the east and south who do not fight, or the north who shouts and fights, it does not need too much worry.

After thinking about it, he felt that the little devil might... might have changed his main attack direction, or he might have been forced by K Company's powerful firepower to fight friendly troops.

54. Bastard, these Yankees are cheating!

If the former, Ivan is not in a hurry, let alone let him go out in person, even the reserve team on hand doesn't need to be moved.

If it's the latter, Ivan can only shrug his shoulders and say, "This-no-blame-me-!"

The night battle that the little devil is best at has become a joke under the flares fired every minute. Although the beasts can also see the US military positions, they can also find out where the machine gun firepower is set up through the trajectory of the tracer bullets, but they Without even a single shell on hand, there is no other way but to listen to the US machine guns roaring non-stop from behind the bunker.

It’s not that there are no beasts that use their willpower to overcome their fear and then launch the long live charge. It’s just that many courageous beasts are sent away by a single bullet as soon as they get out of the bunker. .

It's not that these little devils lack courage, but seeing one colleague after another die in vain, the subconscious mind will produce in his mind that it is meaningless to die by doing this...Everyone on this island The soldiers of the locust army will all die, they are already prepared, it's just because the commander's repeated words make them so meaningless that they still don't want to die.

"No, we can't fight like this. We have artillery but no shells, not even a single smoke bomb. The enemy has 6 heavy machine guns and 18 light machine guns. The sound of firing alone can suppress our shouts—! "

If the U.S. military only had machine gun firepower, then there really wouldn’t be no chance at all—the Japanese army was not useless to carry light machine guns, the one held by the regional reserves of the 7th, 8th, and 9th regions and Lieutenant Mitani The reserve team also mobilized more than half of the soldiers from the 9th district, with a total strength of nearly 220 people, including 12 Type 99 light machine guns, and 5 left in the warehouse for a long time. I remember giving it to the second and third line troops. A type of light machine gun, on the premise that the number of bullets carried can save bullets, it can be fired in short bursts for an hour. It is reasonable to say that the firepower of the machine gun will not lose too much to the US military.

The biggest problem is the shells.

The U.S. military has a large number of mortars, and the ammunition is still open [unlimited]. In the first 3 minutes of the firefight, 3 Taisho 2-type light machine guns were destroyed, and every [-] minutes there was a misfire. How could Warrant Officer Di Yuan Accept this result-if these light machine guns were placed in the bunker, they would be destroyed by killing at least a few Yankees.

It's not that he doesn't understand why Lieutenant Mei Gu launched a counterattack, but he misestimated the firepower and fighting will of the enemy in front of him too much - he who had made great achievements on the Chinese battlefield and finally broke away from the rank of non-commissioned officer to be promoted to a warrant officer brought along a second A detachment of 30 people pursued a Huaxia Army infantry battalion of 300 to [-] people. Even if it encountered a regiment-level position with bunkers, machine gun positions, and infantry artillery support, it was no more difficult to tear apart the defense line than the current position.

It was even said that Warrant Officer Di Yuan had never led a night sneak attack on the Huaxia battlefield, and had always defeated the enemy from the front during the day, but the opponent often used the cover of night to launch attacks on his own troops.

It's not that he can't adapt to the reverse now, it's just that there are currently 30 casualties and no results at all, which makes him quite unacceptable.

'Asshole, these Yankees are cheating!The Huaxia army has broken through my position at any rate when they attacked at night. Now that I have led the team so close, none of the soldiers can successfully rush up and throw the grenade! '

He was already thinking about how to explain and how to escape when he retreated.

"I can't fight anymore, let's continue..."

Before he finished speaking, a messenger ran over.

"Warrant Officer Di Yuan, Warrant Officer Di Yuan—Lieutenant Mei Gu asked you to adapt to the situation and make a breakthrough from the place where the US military's firepower is weak. If there is no chance, turn around and attack the US military in other areas!"

"Then what about here? They will continue to advance tomorrow, and sooner or later they will cut our entire defense line in two."

Having said that, Warrant Officer Di Yuan didn't want to stay here any longer, because locust troops fell every minute.Coral stones and volcanic rocks serve as natural shelters that can block bullets, but the locust army hiding behind these things can't stop the U.S. military's curved firepower. The most important thing is that the Yankee artillery is too accurate, as if passing through this area It's the same as being tempered.

Of course, he didn't know that Ivan calibrated the 155mm heavy artillery at the beginning, and planned to control the error within 15 meters. Now it is not the bazooka with random accuracy, but the small gun used during World War II. The M2 60mm mortar is well-known for its exquisiteness, reliability, and accuracy. A fairly experienced gunner can control the error between 2 and 3 meters.

The Japanese troops in the Pacific and Southeast Asia suffered from this mortar just as other armies suffered from their grenadiers.

"Damn it, if you give us more shells, how can the US machine guns be so arrogant? The horse-riding light machine guns don't even transfer!"

Warrant Officer Di Yuan hated that, but there was nothing he could do.

After thinking about it, he gave the order to move in, and first withdrew the frontal feint troops to the position of the 11th area.

Looking for a weak spot in the US defense line?Just looking at the firepower, it is a complete infantry company. Without more than ten times the strength of the troops and more than 50% of the firepower, Warrant Officer Di Yuan doesn't think there is a chance to tear through the defense line of this group of US troops.

Continuing to fight with the U.S. military now will only lead to loss of troops and will be meaningless. Anyway, Lieutenant Migu didn't let him die here.

"The gunshots are quiet...the Japanese retreat or move!"

With the flares not stopped, Ivan could only see the movements of the Japanese army a little bit clearly. To really figure out where they were going, he had to activate [Vision Enhancement II]... After simple thinking, he decisively activated this skill.

Anyway, as the former enemy commander, the main job is to stand on the command post, not to use skills to kill a few or a dozen devils, and he has already left the job of a medical soldier. Although it is a pity that he cannot get the rescue reward, the fish You can't have it both ways.

The reward is based on the premise that the comrades are injured. The more frequent the medical soldiers are needed, the more serious casualties the company has suffered. It is precisely in order to avoid this that Ivan has taken on many responsibilities that should not have been his. Come to this day with all kinds of super god comrades in arms.

If you want to survive on Peleliu Island, and if you want your valued comrades to survive until the end of the battle, the only way is to kill devils and blow up bunkers... It sounds simple, but it is quite difficult in practice. If it is not for Ivan The bravery and fearlessness at the beginning infected most of the people in Company K, how could they have the right to speak.

What he obtained in reincarnation is his vested interests, and there is no need to hide or justify this, but I hope that all comrades can survive and win this difficult battle, there is no conflict between the two, and at the same time It can also exercise Ivan's command ability and let him learn logistics organization ability from Captain Haldane.

[Skill - Vision Enhancement II is activated]

The blurry night suddenly became clear, and Ivan had a panoramic view of the movements of the Japanese army—the animals retreated, and they retreated in an orderly manner. will to fight.

The appearance of the beasts was seen very clearly by Yi Wen, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that these Japanese troops were indeed the elites from the Class A Division. He couldn't imagine how much their ancestors had paid for using weapons like fire sticks in the eyes of the U.S. Army under backward conditions. The price of the full 14th Division suffered heavy casualties.

"Nuoxi, remind the 321st Infantry Regiment that the Japanese army has gone to the northeast to launch a counterattack. Regarding the friendly army... We are really powerless, the Japanese army beat us badly—!"

After hearing this sentence, Nuo Xi almost put a question mark on his face.

Are you sure...really sure it wasn't us who beat the Japanese army badly?

Although Nuo Xi is a communication soldier belonging to the regiment headquarters, he has been following Ivan during the battles these days. After being influenced by his ears, he can at least know what things should be paid attention to from the command perspective. The mortar fired a round of shells and one or two disappeared, and the light and heavy machine guns of one's own side could continue to spray bullets without changing positions, which showed that the Japanese army was no longer as simple as the end of its strength.

After fighting for more than half an hour, I did not see many casualties in Company K. The Japanese army said that they left thirty or forty corpses, but now Ivan asked him to tell the army that Company K, 5rd Battalion, 3th Marine Regiment, was counterattacked by the little devils. Hit badly?

"Do you have any questions?" Ivan asked with a smile.

Nuoxi shook his head quickly, and then transmitted the information according to the order. This was the first time he had contacted the 321st Army Infantry Regiment, and he didn't know if the other party could receive it.

K Company’s internal communication method is to use BC611-D handheld walkie-talkies. The communication distance is within 1.6 kilometers. It is very short and hard to be monitored by enemy radio stations. It looks like a big brother in the 90s. If there are still people who don’t know what it looks like, then Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 89th Division in "Bright Sword", said to him, "Just don't see the impact point!"It was a depression, and there were artillery groups from east to west...' The guy is the BC611-D handheld walkie-talkie.

In addition, there is a "BC1000" radio station with a communication distance of several kilometers, which can send telegrams and also make calls, but generally you have to speak code words, because this thing can understand plain language not only friendly troops, There is also the enemy army-the famous scene of speaking plain language is Liao Yaoxiang in "The Great Battle of Liaoshen" shouting: "The road ahead is unimpeded!".

55. The reincarnation system gives a very high evaluation to the reincarnation

If Yiwen remembers correctly, the two secret whisperers in the last reincarnation were the BC1000 radio stations he had memorized. Time to learn Morse code.

"Nuo Xi, we must do our best."

Ivan patted the messenger on the shoulder and said, "Be sure to pass the news to the army, even if it makes Captain Haldane work hard."

It's not that he wants this skill to play some value, but that everything is based on the fundamental interests of K Company. His personal interests are completely bound to the interests of the entire K Company, but he has not touched the realm of the strong— —Their personal interests can be ignored, but they will single-mindedly develop the personal interests of the majority into collective interests.

In the past, Yiwen knew little about communism. After reading some red books and experiencing it in the cycle of reincarnation, he gradually realized that it is not metaphysics or illusory, but the most scientific and materialistic thought, just like Yiwen Some of the things they do in this reincarnation are the same—the interest of Ma Run at the bottom is to kill devils, and he can survive to return to his hometown after killing them. The interest of the commander of Company K is to reduce the casualties of his subordinates and win. There is no contradiction between the two. But contradictions always exist, and they can be divided into primary contradictions and secondary contradictions.

The interest of the headquarters is to save face, refuse to admit the failure in strategy, and forcibly take down the island. In order to defeat the burrowing madman on the island, it is necessary to pay a higher price, which hurts the interests of the soldiers and officers at the bottom. , which is the main contradiction.

The secondary contradiction is that the headquarters is accustomed to micromanagement, but this not only fails to bring victory, but also brings failure, causing cracks in the originally united Ma Run and creating a new main contradiction.

Yiwen tried to solve the main contradiction. By uniting the battalion commander and regimental commander, he formed a community of interests with the K company. Finally, he united with the division commanders who had the same interests and temporarily suppressed the secondary contradictions. That’s how he kept talking about actual interests. Under such circumstances, K Company achieved victory after victory.

It is not uncommon for people who feel that communism only talks about dedication and spirit. People from bourgeois families like Ivan have little understanding of communism, even if they take the course [Politics]. High grades, but the teachers who teach this course without joking usually just follow the script without explaining in depth why, why, the reasons for doing this, and the benefits of doing this. Too many topics tend to be memorized by rote.

Maybe he will change a lot when he goes to university and listens carefully to the Marxist-Leninist lectures, but one reality that cannot be denied is that Yiwen is a coward...all his previous efforts were for pretending to be coercive, and his biggest dream after entering a good university is to continue Pretentious to pick up girls, dreaming of becoming an urban web hero.

Just throw him like this into the Soviet Union in the 30s and [-]s. There is a high probability that he will go to Siberia for a tour.

"In the interest of Company K, this message must be delivered."

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

The army received the news and was prepared, even if they couldn't frustrate the Japanese counterattack, it could still cause a certain amount of damage-they were noble second-class people, and some of them were fire support.

As long as the Japanese troops here are continuously reduced, the pressure on K Company to advance will be reduced, the casualties will be reduced, and the probability of success will increase, which is in everyone's interest.

"I hope I can get rid of it to the point of no return..."

Ivan’s requirements for the Army are low enough to a certain level. This is by no means his own attitude towards the Army, but the Army infantry in the Pacific War in history... compared to the Germans on the Eastern Front, they are not enough. The Soviet army after the Battle of Stalingrad was also bad, not even as good as the army on the Western Front, but it was better than the Soviet army at the beginning of Barbarossa, right?

When the time came to around 4 o'clock in the morning, listening to the fierce firefights in the northeast, Yiwen felt that the army might exceed his expectations... At least those who were riding horses did not flee collectively, and they could continue to increase troops to reinforce the defensive position .

"How about the direction of Five Sisters Mountain?"

Ivan had to care about the overall situation, because Company K had to get the most basic cooperation from its friendly forces if it wanted to continue to advance—only when they continued to maintain the offensive, could Ivan have the confidence to lead Company K to cut off the connection between the North and South Japanese troops.
