Hardcore ruthless starts in the Pacific

For the Japanese army, the line of defense being cut in two is quite fatal, so they will do their best to stop it before encountering this incident. If the pressure from the friendly forces on the left and right flanks is strong enough, the Japanese army, which is stretched out, must abandon part of its position to attack K Company. flank.

[Killed Cao Chang*1, Sergeant Cao*1, Corps Chief*2, and Soldier*19 as an assistant]

This data includes the kills during yesterday's daytime attack. If the little devil hadn't retreated and the wave in the early morning of this morning would definitely be more than that.

As time passed, the gunfire in the northeast gradually became quieter, but Ivan didn't know who would win.

By dawn, I finally received the definite news.

Company I of the 321nd Battalion of the Army's 2 Infantry Regiment on the right blocked the Japanese counterattack at night, killed and wounded more than 20 Japanese soldiers and then held the position. At the same time, they gave Ivan a wave of rewards.

[The reincarnation system gives reincarnators a very high rating for decisively using active skills regardless of personal interests, please look forward to the second settlement day]

To be honest, the benefits obtained by using this skill to kill devils are not that high. The most peak time is to use the skill twice to repel the impact of more than a hundred Japanese troops in one direction. Judging from the situation on the first settlement day , the benefits will probably far exceed that one time.

The gap between the commander and the soldiers can be reflected in the statistics. A single soldier who is good at fighting can kill dozens or hundreds of devils in the cycle of reincarnation, and the beasts must cooperate to launch the Long Live Charge. But a commander The officer gives the correct order, arranges the correct tactics, and can deal with the enemy outside *~group<~

The damage caused by people is not as simple as several times, the more beautiful the fight, the higher the multiplier.

'If only it were all good news. '

Ivan rubbed his brows and sighed slowly—the three marine companies in the direction of Five Sisters Mountain were surrounded in the core area of ​​U Mountain because of their deep penetration.

The Five Sisters Mountain, which was previously abandoned by the Japanese army, suddenly appeared many little devils. Relying on the fortifications that could not be chewed by aircraft and cannons, they blocked the reinforcements sent by the 5th Marine Regiment to attack at dawn, and even suppressed the reinforcements at five Blood Nose Ridge and No. 99 Highland in Sister Mountain.

Under such circumstances, the surrounded company did not panic. The commanders immediately built a defensive position on the spot and waited for the command from the headquarters. The Japanese army had no heavy weapons and lacked shells, so it was not easy to bite down.

That is, the supply lines of the three marine companies were cut off, and the headquarters estimated that the ammunition and food would last for up to 3 days.

56. Evan: The command here knows a shitty war!

The 5th Marine Regiment definitely wanted to break through the encirclement and rescue the three companies, otherwise they would not have organized a counterattack against the lost surface positions in the Five Sisters Mountain area early in the morning, but the problem remained the same—Ivan estimated that it would take 5 days to specialize Cleaning every corner of the Five Sisters Mountain area was the result of the Japanese army completely huddling in the underground tunnels and waiting for K Company to come over and send them to the sky with explosives.

According to the current battlefield situation, 5 days is completely taken for granted. At least...at least 10 days will be needed to clean it up, and finally it will take 2~3 days to break the encirclement. It is only the supply of three marine companies. Support up to 3 days.

Yiwen had a premonition that it would not be long before the headquarters would pass the order to K Company, and transfer this infantry company, which is good at dealing with devils, to Five Sisters Mountain to open a survival channel for friendly troops.

This is not a good deployment. In the final analysis, it is the reason why other companies of the 5th Marine Regiment are greedy for merit... It's just that Ivan thinks it should be rescued, but he can't use his brain to save it. He has to think of a different way.

——The last thing the enemy wants on the battlefield is the initiative. What Ivan likes is neither offense nor defense, but complete control of the initiative.

The little devil hoped that Company K would show up somewhere, but Ivan would not go there.

Just like the current situation—Nakagawa Shuo believed in the judgment of his subordinates. The U.S. military who knew the direction of Mount Five Sisters did not defeat Captain Morikawa on Mount A within a day, but launched a counterattack according to the predetermined plan and surrounded it.

Apart from the strategic goal from the beginning, it is also looking forward to the company that is good at attacking fortifications being transferred to Five Sisters Mountain to rescue the friendly forces that have fallen into siege.

Although you can't let it fall into a trap, you can also touch the troops that you are good at defending.

The more this happened, the more he couldn't let him succeed. Ivan decided to attack according to the original plan, and immediately went to Captain Haldane to express his opinion.

"How much supplies do 3 infantry companies need per day?"

The basic standard of the German infantry company is 1.8 tons. When the battle is more intense, it will exceed 3 tons. Theoretically, the Soviet army is almost as good as 80% of its soldiers, ammunition, and heavy equipment. The US military will only double the German army. Even tripled.

Company K will increase by 10 times the daily supplies of a normal infantry company in the U.S. military. When they attacked Mountain A, they didn’t have the current organization. At that time, they could use up 50% of the supplies of a marine battalion in a day. Now It is estimated to be more than 80%... If the battle situation is more intense, it will definitely exceed 100% and reach a rather terrifying number.

"First of all, it can't be calculated according to the standard of Company K." Cannon King said, "A normal infantry company participating in the battle needs about 6 to 8 tons of supplies every day."

Rounding up, the three surrounded marine companies need 3 tons of supplies every day, including ammunition, shells, food, fresh water, medical supplies, daily necessities, etc.

"Are our planes capable of dropping 30 tons per day?"

Hearing these words, Captain Haldane's pupils shrank suddenly, and the country bumpkin and Old Gun beside him were stunned.

A sentence with a rather flat tone showed what Ivan wanted to do. Everyone was already used to his madness, but now they felt that their situation was too small.

"Thirty tons of supplies are air-dropped by plane. I believe the airport can and must do it."

The moment Ivan learned that the friendly forces in the direction of the Five Sisters Mountain were surrounded, he remembered the adjustments made to the U.S. Army since Ridgway took office in the Korean War. Volunteers at that time often surrounded the U.S. Army. Difficult to annihilate, aside from the backwardness of the Volunteer Army's weapons and equipment, the main reason is that the U.S. troops in the encirclement can continue to obtain supplies through airdrops, which is equivalent to hanging - unlimited bullets, unlimited shells, any weapon has a lifespan, the barrel If the barrel is fired too much, it will be damaged, so the frequency must be controlled. The U.S. military does not care about the life of the weapon through airdrops. Anyway, if it is damaged, it can be replaced with a new weapon immediately.

The U.S. military’s airdrop tactics during this period were not as proficient as in the Korean War, so Ivan gave 30 tons of supplies and required the airdrop height to be kept as low as possible, and the surrounded infantry company used M16 smoke grenades to guide the pilots. .

The smoke bomb is not the white smoke bomb in cognition, but is divided into five colors: orange, green, red, purple, and yellow. power, or as a delayed signal flare.

During World War II, the U.S. military used smoke bombs to cover many offensive battles in mountainous areas, and did not use them very much at other times. After all, every attack was accompanied by a large number of aircraft cover and tank coordination. Smoke bombs would make the coordinated troops see If you don't know the target and direction, it is not conducive to attack.

But when infantry is attacking alone, smoke bombs are often very important.

Hearing these words, Captain Haldane agreed in his heart, but was very worried: "The order from the headquarters..."

Ivan said without hesitation: "They know what a shitty war—!"

The Five Sisters area has never been visited on the spot, and it stands to reason that they have no right to speak, but the whole picture can be learned through the dictation of the soldiers withdrawn from the 1st Marine Regiment.

The generals who stayed at the headquarters and looked at the map would not take a look in person, even if they asked the soldiers who had withdrawn from the 1st regiment at the road station, they would not always take it for granted.

Ivan can understand what it means to leave the bunker and there will be bullets coming. Not being hit is just a matter of luck, not because the Japanese army does not want to kill you...In this case, any army that is good at mountainous areas during this period It is impossible to guarantee that the life channel will be opened within 3 days if the troops for the tough battle are pulled up.

Even if Company K launches an attack, the other three companies will not be able to concentrate their efforts to break through. If the Nakagawa Prefecture male commander dares to surround you, there will be a bunch of followers waiting for you, and some confidence will prevent you from succeeding in the short term.

No matter what, there may not be many people left in the end if you save your life and break through the siege. The casualties of Company K are not infantry that can be trained in batches, but technical units that many people will never get the know-how for a lifetime. Ivan has nothing to do with it in the future , but right now it is necessary to fight to the end with the headquarters.

This batch of talents cannot be wasted on such a rigid combat plan!

As Ivan clarified the stakes little by little, the core officers of Company K nodded in agreement, and then pulled in other officers in the company.

This time was different from the last time. The core officers of K Company alone could not solve the problem. Only by dragging all the officers into the water could there be any hope of success.

"I support it," Lieutenant Faulkner said.

"I'm fine with that, it's the best way."

"The reason why we have been able to win battles so far is because we did not fall into the trap of the Japanese army strategically."

After getting the approval of all the officers, Yi Wen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Contact the teacher and tell him my proposal—!"

57. We are the devil's nightmare!

After noon, the officers gathered and waited anxiously. Normally everyone would laugh and enjoy lunch at this time, but this time the stakes were high...success could be a matter of many lives.

Near 1:[-], the command issued a clearance order, but revoked Warrant Officer Inswood Irving's rank, reducing him to private first class, while retaining his former command of the enemy.

After all, the generals are not stupid, and they can easily find out who is the guy who repeatedly contradicted him and changed the planned combat deployment.

I can bear it for the first time, but it’s okay to think about this guy’s outstanding military exploits. It’s not unbearable for the second time, but I have to show the commanding majesty of the command—you guys, don’t put the command at all. Put it in your eyes, right?

Swiping Ivan from the rank of warrant officer to the end is purely a warning to the officers of Company K...It's good that you brothers are of one mind, but next time it won't just be Private Inswood Ivan.

In fact, in the case of the German and Soviet troops, Ivan should have been sent to a punishment camp the first time he did such a thing. Although the military law of the US military is not a decoration, the first mention of Peleliu Island is also embarrassing— — There are two chances, as long as you destroy a bunker before retreating, it is not a violation of military law.

When the Cannon King announced this matter, Ma Run and the others were all pissed off, and felt aggrieved by it, especially a group of them clamoring to find the technical soldiers of the command headquarters. Knowing the importance of Yiwen, he is the soul who can support them to muster up the courage to rush forward.

"My job is still there, isn't it?" Ivan said to stop the noisy voice, "Get ready to attack!"

If making trouble because of his insignificant military rank is defined as a mutiny, it is not something that can be solved by simply lowering his military rank.

"If you want me to restore my military rank, then obey the order and kill more devils... As long as we can get rid of the record, the headquarters will have nothing to say-brothers, I opened a message for you Best way to go in a battle that shouldn't have happened, tell the devils with the guys in your hands... K Company is going to be their nightmare!"

"Hu———re———!"

"Hu———re———!"

"Hu———re———!"

......

......

"Nakagawa-kun, what are you worried about?" Major General Gonjiro Murai of the 14th Division asked.

The actual commander of the Battle of Peleliu Island looked at the tactical map and said, "I have a bad feeling—this company K will not be transferred to the Five Sisters Mountain area."

The encirclement of three marine companies does not mean that the Japanese army has the ability to annihilate them. On the contrary, the male commander of Nakagawa Prefecture felt unspeakable pressure-although the three marine companies were not fully staffed, the number of them was close to 400.

You must know that the reserve force placed in the Five Sisters Mountain area is only 500 people. Even if the commander of the Peleliu Island Garrison so far can proudly say: "As many people are killed or injured by us, as many people will be killed or injured by the U.S. Army", it does not mean that The three Ma Run companies can easily eat it.

"Why do you think so?"

Major General Gonjiro Murai, who is from the base camp in Japan, does not have the rank he currently holds on the battlefield. He is best at using his position, rank, and political means to oppress other people, so the base camp sent him to Here, because I was worried that the male commander of Zhongchuan State would not be able to suppress the naval forces on the island.

"According to the prisoner's explanation, this company K is not an ordinary company, and the specific information is not much different from what we guessed...Mr. Will you give up?"

In the first ten days of the battle, even before September 9, the tactics of the U.S. military did not change much, and they relied purely on their muscles to attack... That period can be called the highlight period of the male commander of Nakagawa Prefecture, from The commendation order from the base camp came like snowflakes. He even felt that the originally scheduled one-month period could be changed to three months, which would cause the US military to suffer great humiliation. In the future history, there will be a record of a man named Zhong Chuanzhou The locust army chief left indelible scars on the first marine division of the ace unit of the US military.

In this way, leaving his name in history, Nakagawa Prefecture's male commander is quite satisfied, but the K company has appeared.

What happened caught him off guard.

It is like a demon that appeared out of thin air, stepped on the biggest weakness of the Japanese defense deployment, perfectly played the advantages of the US military, and at the same time avoided the shortcomings of the US military. He gnawed off a large piece of meat on the proud line of defense.

For this reason, he suffers from headaches every day—as long as the core part of this K company exists, the three months he fantasizes will be stamped, and his name will become a huge humiliation in the past history of the First Marine Division. Become a bubble.

The male commander of Nakagawa Prefecture used the [-]st Marine Division as a stepping stone, but now this K company regards him as a stepping stone.

The most frightening thing is that without the initiative on the battlefield, it didn't know where the company was attacking from at first!

The unknown means that there is no good way to take this company, but the male commander of Nakagawa Prefecture has not given up. After constant guessing and constant thinking from the perspective of the US military command, he finally grasped the possibility and set up a plan. Huge trap.

Waiting for Company K to enter the Five Sisters Mountain area, use the painstaking efforts of building for a long time to deal a heavy blow to this abnormal US army, and relieve all worries.

However, everything that happened yesterday told him that Company K did not go into the encirclement as he expected, but chose a rather deadly area to launch an attack, destroying all the bunkers in Area 27 in just one day .

"Their approach is not destruction in the general sense... I have never seen such a wasteful behavior, just to blow up a bunker, use several or a dozen blasts to find the location, and then stuff it in our Unimaginable weight of TNT!"

The actions of Company K completely refreshed the perception of the U.S. military by Nakagawa Prefecture’s male commander. It was like a dimensionality reduction strike, which made him a little scared until now, so when he heard the results of the battle in the morning, he was very fortunate to surround the three U.S. infantry companies, and Successfully repelled an operation by the US military to break through the encirclement, causing more than a dozen casualties.

'Is it time for Company K to come?Should be coming?You must come, right? 3 infantrymen connected nearly 400 people, if they were just trapped in the encirclement... those generals can take responsibility! ? '

Before noon, he still thought so, but at noon, he changed a little, because it received the news that the US military in the encirclement had built a defense line on the spot.

It has been more than 4 hours since the last time the U.S. military carried out the operation to break the encirclement. According to common sense, the surrounded army should be in a hurry, very urgent, because there is a possibility of destruction at any time... At the same time, the general of the headquarters They will also be very anxious, after all, it is related to their official career.

"Report--!"

"Come in!"

"Your Majesty, there is new news from the direction of the Five Sisters Mountains—it is discovered that the U.S. military has dropped a lot of red smoke bombs in the defense line. According to observations, they are guiding the U.S. military transport plane flying at an ultra-low altitude to drop supplies."

Hearing the news, Nakagawa Prefecture's male commander slammed his fist on the commanding table.

"boom--!"

The whole face was twisted together because of anger, and it looked so hideous.

"asshole!!!"

58. It was Company K who asked the headquarters to ask other troops to cooperate with Company K

The red signal flare guides the transport plane to drop supplies at ultra-low altitude. This move is beyond the expectations of Nakagawa Prefecture's male commander... K Company has already changed the attack direction and sent a wave of dimensionality reduction strikes. I feel that the battle situation is already bad. The bottom cannot be lowered any further.

When he came back to his senses, Nakagawa Nakagawa, who was standing on the mountainside, had thought that the U.S. military would use airdrops to supply supplies, but he also felt that the U.S. military would not do this until they reached the siege. .. At least try for 2-3 days and break out 4-5 times a day on average before giving up and turning into a local defense to wait for the airdrop supplies to continue to persevere.

At this time, K Company, which had been bothering this guy, was not only disabled, but at least some of the core soldiers who built the sharp offensive suffered a lot of casualties.

As a result, the U.S. troops in the encirclement only tried to break out of the encirclement, and in the following hours not only gave up the breakout operation, but also made a decision that was unacceptable to the male commander of Nakagawa Prefecture—they left nearly 400 people in the core of Mount U. In the area, the Japanese army neither organized a breakout nor scouted which directions the defense force was weak, but relied on airdropped supplies to establish a defense line in the encirclement! ?

To say that an infantry company with more than 3 people is surrounded, when the transport plane comes to drop supplies, there will be a situation where a large amount of supplies will not accurately enter the surrounded company's position, but the 400 infantry connected with nearly [-] people, the place originally occupied is not small. Use red smoke bombs to guide the transport plane to drop supplies at ultra-low altitude.

This...how to fight! ?

The reason why the male commander of Nakagawa Prefecture is confident that he will stick to Peleliu Island for at least a month is because he has devoted all his efforts to the various fortifications of U Mountain, and he personally controls every link, just to drag the US military forward. Entering a war of attrition—the Japanese army was not afraid of this kind of battle. Anyway, there were strong fortifications. The materials hoarded before the war could not be said to be very abundant, but it could also guarantee the physical strength of the soldiers for another month or two.

In contrast, the U.S. military staying on Peleliu Island is not so affordable. The daily consumption of weapons, ammunition, troops, and supplies is astronomical. Even the democratic arsenal is run by capitalists. The simplest investment The output ratio has to be calculated, and the pensions paid for casualties are also an astronomical figure.

"They are not going to break out, but are going to stay in the encirclement—!"

If it was the early stage of the war, Nakagawa Shunan had great confidence to wipe out the close to 400 people directly. After all, at that time, bullets had bullets, shells had shells, anti-aircraft machine guns, machine guns, mortars and other things were pulled out. What about the powerful American equipment?Japanese equipment is not impossible to kill people.

Now, there are no shells, and the bullets are not enough. Three infantry companies build a defense line without artillery to bombard the steel city wall. When they launch an attack at night, they drive infinite bullets and infinite shells. The next day, a transport plane will come to drop supplies. When you launch an attack during the day, you will not only be bombarded by heavy artillery from the US military, but the Ma Run pilot will be even more ecstatic.

The only thing that can trouble the U.S. military is the weather, and it must be windy, heavy rain and the like, but it doesn't matter if it is cloudy.

However, the weather on Peleliu Island will not be as the locust army wishes-there have been rains these days, but most of them are rapid thunderstorms, and the weather will calm down immediately after the incident, and even a rainbow can be seen.This is one of the reasons why Palau is doing quite well as a tourist destination in the 21st century.
