Ivan found that the tactics of the Japanese army were extremely rigid, and the people were full of stupidity and rigidity... Maybe this is just the current situation, because in the island warfare in the late Pacific War, the Japanese army was as vicious and cunning as they were .

After dealing with the grenade, Ivan did not relax his vigilance, and glanced at the direction of the depression.

Not beyond his expectations.

Lecky has already been able to manipulate the old antiques of World War I very skillfully, and used short bursts to kill the Japanese troops that came one by one. Basically, the position about 19 meters away from the front of the No. 10 position is an absolute death zone. He must have deliberately put the Japanese troops so close. Because of the good field of view, it is convenient to adjust the shooting angle.

In the following time, Ivan didn't take any heads, stared at the Austin Mountains, and observed other areas, so that no grenades could threaten Lecky.

But every time I look at the right wing, I feel that it is too tragic. Shells and bullets are flying across the two ridges. The wailing, screaming and onboard charging sound after another represent that that position is an absolute hell on earth.

Leckie has been fighting for more than an hour since he moved to the No. 3 machine gun position, and at least 18 or [-] corpses have been piled up in the depression. Since there is no need to move the position, he can really spare a little effort for [-] as Ivan explained. Position No. [-] provides flanking fire.

After confirming that the Japanese army in front of Position 19 was suppressed and could not move forward at all, Ivan felt much better.

"Very good, position 19 will never be lost if this continues!"

No sooner had he said this than the scud came running over with some rather dire bad news.

"Position 18 is lost." His eyes were bloodshot, "Lieutenant Stone has withdrawn from the position with the remnants."

40. Tonight, here is our grave

"Damn it...!"

There are always more bad news than good news on the battlefield, and they will come one after another. Ivan is very uncomfortable with this.

Three heavy machine guns, two 60mm guns, a 105mm artillery battery, an 81mm mortar battery, and 155mm howitzers at the rear for interstitial support. Such firepower can't hold position 18?

After calming down, I found that it might not be able to defend. Firstly, the terrain of position No. 18 from north to south is relatively flat. Secondly, the main attack direction of the Japanese army is here. , There are grenadiers used intensively behind the infantry charging on the front line, and their firepower is not inferior.

"How about the withdrawal?"

Scud said with a bitter face, "Very bad."

It is said that there are not many people left in the remnants, and Ma Run, who was seriously injured, cannot be taken away.Scud said that there were only a dozen people left around Lieutenant Stone, and each of them was slightly injured.

A whole platoon of infantry and platoon headquarters, as well as the machine gun squad next to Lieutenant Stone, a few ammunitionists, and correspondents, numbered almost a hundred people. When they were withdrawn, there were only a dozen left.

If it weren't for the uninterrupted artillery support from the rear, I'm afraid it would have been captured by the Japanese army within an hour or so of the battle.

However, I heard from Scud that the Japanese army dropped at least 19 corpses in front of Position [-], and the accumulation almost filled the depression to level ground.

The Japanese army attacked the mountain with a width of about 900 meters, dispatched at least two to three thousand people, and figured out the firepower point erected by Ma Run in advance, and half an hour of artillery coverage destroyed two-thirds of the machine gun firepower point.

The beasts also took advantage of the complex terrain of the Austin Mountains to evade heavy artillery fire from the U.S. Army, coupled with the fire suppression of light and heavy machine guns and the roll call bombing of grenades, as well as the onboard charge of attacking desperadoes against the artillery fire of both sides. Any position attacked by the main force may be shaky from the beginning.

Ivan was no longer in the mood to wonder whether position 18 was taken by the Japanese first, because the right wing of number 19 was by no means as steep as the left wing. As long as there was no artillery fire, Japanese troops would soon attack the main position of position 19 from this place.

Scud's face was a bit disastrous, his eyes were full of panic, and his body even trembled like epilepsy: "Lieutenant Stone conveyed an order from the battalion headquarters asking us to stick to the main position of No. 19 for two hours. The division headquarters is already gathering 1 regiment 1 The battalion is over, and they said that there will be reinforcements soon——!"

Ivan looked at the watch he asked Lecky for before the battle, and it was now 9:12 am on September 3.

There are still two hours before dawn, and the translation of the order from the battalion is to keep watch until dawn. Hearing the latter will be much more desperate than the former, but looking at the current time, there is no difference between the two.

If you stick to it, all the brothers will be buried here. If Ma Run, who has one and a half infantry squads left in the retreating front position, will be sold by them, he will definitely receive the most severe punishment if he flees back. possible.

Don’t doubt Ma Run’s military discipline during this period. Ivan was not a deserter in normal times, but a deserter on the battlefield. He was beaten by the Japanese army in this wave, and his morale plummeted. ?

At this desperate moment, Yiwen could no longer find a path he could take the initiative to master. He either died in battle or fled back and was shot.

Extending the head is a knife, shrinking the head is a knife.

The former is a hero after all, while the latter is purely a bear, and may make Laiji and others notorious for a long time.

In this case, there is nothing to hesitate.

"Are you willing to fight and die here with me?" Ivan asked Scud seriously.

The current Yiwen is not one of those famous gods of war who can go to the underworld to pull a few beards of the king of Hades and leave gracefully. All he can do is to believe that reliable comrades use everything they can to use, hold position 19 and survive!

Looking at the hard face in front of him, Scud nodded silently, the trembling of his body stopped immediately, and the fear in his eyes disappeared completely.

"Go and inform Lecky and the others, and then go to the mountain people and bring all the ammunition, water tanks, and grenades. Tonight, this is our grave."

Only those who are not afraid of death deserve to live on the battlefield, only those who dare to fight bravely at the last moment are worthy to survive, only those who are full of courage and fearlessness can open up the way of survival on the road of death.

"Tell Lecky to go to position 1, make sure that the frontal Japanese army can't break into the forward position...and tell Lieutenant Stone that we need more artillery support, don't hesitate or worry, just hit position 18 Go up and block the little devil's attack from the right wing!"

"it is good."

Without saying another word of nonsense, Scud left quickly.

Immediately afterwards, Ivan came to the junction of positions 19 and 18, wielding a shovel to dig out individual bunkers in a prone position. Even if time is tight, a bunker must be created quickly.

The left flank of position 18 is a gentle slope with many rocks as shelters. This slope is divided into two parts. One is that the communication trench connecting forward position 19 is at a lower altitude, and the other part is only lower than Yiwen's position. A few meters lower, not too long and not too far away, and a gentle slope with rocks as a shelter, it is a good offensive area when paired with a traffic trench.

Although the No. 19 position has a little condescending advantage, a sufficient number of bunkers and fast-moving traffic trenches are enough to erase these advantages.

Lieutenant Stone was right. The loss of position 18 would allow positions 19 and 17 to be captured by the Japanese in a short period of time. But at that time, even providing side fire to position 18 would not necessarily prevent its loss. On the contrary, it is very likely that position 19 will be captured by the crazy Japanese army.

Ivan rubbed his eyes to relieve his physical and mental fatigue. Two seconds later, his eyes were bloodshot as if they had been rubbed, and he exuded a sense of ruthlessness.

Scud's efficiency was very high, and Ivan began to dig the bunker. The artillery fire from the battalion had already landed on position 18 and the coordinates of Mount Austin, which were exchanged for dozens of lives. These were the openings that the Japanese army rushed out.

The 81mm mortars were mainly used to bombard position 18 due to their high-quality curved firepower, and the 105 and 155 of the heavy artillery battalion went to that coordinate, trying to cut off the follow-up echelon of the Japanese army occupying the position.

With the earth-shattering noise, Ivan spent 15 minutes digging two bunkers in a prone position. Although they are not very standard, they can easily protect themselves. At this time, Scud and the Mountain Man sent the ammunition and water tanks to the No. 1 machine gun position. rushed over.

"I dug a bunker for you, and I will go to the most dangerous area later."

The No. 19 main position is close to the No. 18 machine gun position of the No. 3 position. That position overlooks the right wing and the front. Although the degree of danger is quite high, it is the area with the widest view. If he shrinks back at this moment, he might as well be a deserter Just be shot.

The mountain man and the scud knew very well that the next battle would become a truly cruel hell, bloody is probably an indescribable word.

"The call for artillery fire must be timely. Our biggest reliance is that we have saved enough shells before saving food and clothing. It is quite difficult to hold on for two hours, but the daytime is our absolute advantage!"

"Chef—!"

Looking at the resolute back, Scud and the mountain man couldn't help shouting—he always does this, holding the most difficult and dangerous things in his hands, and at the same time trying to create a sense of security for himself.

Evan stopped but didn't look back.outside $group|~

"Don't die—!"

"Don't worry, none of us will die."

Yiwen didn't know what to do, but he could only answer in this way.

Because of the uninterrupted coverage of artillery fire, position 18 cannot pose a threat to position 19 at present, so Ivan did not deploy the machine gun on the right wing at all.

When Ivan arrived at the No. 3 machine gun position, Ivan instantly had a premonition that something was wrong—the Japanese attacking from the front seemed to be suppressed by Lecky's long and short bursts and could not move forward. However, more Japanese troops poured out from Mount Austin. It was not a frontal attack, but headed towards the left flank of Position 19 under the leadership of two officers.

"Fuck you, little devil—!"

PS:

Don't think that Ma Run's officers are the same as our army officers who can brainstorm and give full play to the subjective initiative of commanders and fighters at all levels. Compared with the non-volunteer army, Ma Run just dares to fight and fight hard, which does not mean that he is very good at tactics-to be honest, see Looking at historical data, we can know that the tactics of the U.S. military during World War II were as rigid as those of the Japanese army. The difference is that the U.S. military’s ground, air, and sea firepower was stronger than that of the Japanese army.The Korean War only relied on vehicles to increase super mobility on the basis of super firepower, and positional warfare was still the same.

Position No. 18 was hit by heavy Japanese firepower, and hundreds of small Japanese rushed desperately. Hundreds of people could last for two hours... I have already overestimated.

41. No Missing Strike II

It's not that the little devil didn't find that the left wing of the 19th position had something to gain, but he just thought that this place was not as easy to capture as the 18th position.

The current situation is that the Japanese army in front of the 19th position was beaten by an antique from World War I and was unable to move forward. At least 18 or 19 dead animals were lying on the depression. The [-]th position, which was finally captured, was under intensive artillery fire by the US military. Covering, on the other hand, the left wing of the [-]th position not only lacks enough defensive troops, but also deployed half an infantry squad to support the forward position. It is not difficult to break through, but the road to the main position is relatively steep. The main position can be attacked within an hour.

The most frightening thing is that the frontal attacking Japanese army has gradually retreated to the Austin Mountains, using the excellent terrain as a cover to only shoot at position 19 without launching an onboard charge.

The Japanese army who changed their tactics made Ivan very headache-obviously, they were just attracting the firepower of the machine guns and waiting for the outflanking to succeed, or waiting for the M1917 in the front to move to the left flank, and then they could directly take the forward position with a wave of onboard charge Rush to the main position.

Although two of the machine gun positions that Ivan dug on the left wing before the war were scrapped, there is still one that can be used. It has played a big role, but it cannot change the desperate situation of position 19.

"I said at the beginning, two machine guns, at least two—!"

"It's really not good, give me an infantry squad...!"

"Do not------!"

Yi Wen slammed his fist hard on the crater, "Give me another half infantry squad is enough!"

Even so, he remained calm and knew what he could do next.

"Scud!"

Immediately retracted the traffic trench, and ran quickly to find the two rough embryos on the right wing.

"Tell Lieutenant Stone that the enemy is outflanking from the left flank. We only have one machine gun. If we shift to the left flank, the enemy in the front will lose the source of threat and directly charge us. The position cannot be defended, we must retreat!"

Reasonable, but useless.

Half a minute later, Scud notified the order from the battalion headquarters—to defend position 19 at all costs. The three infantry squads and one machine gun squad here either died in battle or fled back and were shot. This order came from Colonel Edson.

Because Position 17, another support point, was taken from the front by the Japanese army, it became a bit difficult to counterattack Position 18. If Position 19 was captured by the Japanese army, the counterattack after dawn would no longer be described as "difficult". appropriate.

I didn't pay attention to it before, and I didn't think about whether the 18th position could be regained when I needed to counterattack. The 19th and 17th positions were very important. Yiwen was really angry but there was nothing he could do.

Wasn't it detailed enough before the war?He exchanged half a month's salary for 30 rounds of 2 bullets, six water tanks, and a box of MK[-] defensive grenades. Now Leckie has destroyed half of the bullets, but there are still a full [-] If the bullets are fired, the Japanese army on which side they stay will not be able to fight.They also applied for support more than once. Troops, automatic firepower, and artillery cover, which one did not ask for repeatedly?

Is he not C enough?The three grenadier teams that could threaten the machine guns were smashed by him, and the No. 19 position was able to stand still because the heavy machine guns continued to fire, and they did not even rely on the support of a single mortar during the defense process!

After all, the fact that position 19 has been able to defend until now is all because of Yiwen's hard work in advance.

The real reason for being beaten like this by the Japanese army tonight is entirely because of a problem with the combat deployment above!

Tactically, it is as dull and stupid as the Japanese army, that is, its firepower is stronger than that of the little devils!

Ivan was full of complaints and anger, but still remained calm and did not give up, thinking about how to deal with the Japanese army's tactics.

Now the battalion's mortars and division's heavy artillery have fallen elsewhere, but it's not without other artillery support!

"60 guns! We need the support of 60 guns!"

Ivan immediately grabbed Scud and said, "Tell the lieutenant, I am confident to defend position 19, but the premise is that there must be several 60 guns to provide support, and the coordinates are the depression in front of the position. Even if the barrel is red, it cannot stop! "

Before Scud could get in touch, Ivan took out a few MK2 defensive grenades and put them on the 11-mounted chest hanger while saying loudly: "Remember one thing - if you want the support of 60 artillery pieces, I have the confidence to lead you to defend If you don't want to come, we brothers are ready to confess here!"

Immediately afterwards, he quickly left the right wing and arrived at Lecky in just a dozen seconds.

"Smiling Tiger, Professor!"

After leaning over, he made a long story short, "Now you move to the No. 6 position, the Japanese army is going to attack from the left flank, I will help you move the ammunition and water tank now—!"

"it is good!"

The two didn't ask why. Their absolute trust in Ivan made them disassemble the M1917 in the next second. The disassembly was completed in only half a minute and they rushed towards the position of the No. 6 machine gun, leaving [-] rounds of ammunition and five water tanks. It takes a little while to ship half of them.

Only half of the delivery is to prevent the machine gun from being moved to the front after a while, and reserve some bullets and water tanks to save your own energy.

When the first wave of 500 rounds of ammunition was delivered, Ivan did not forget to lie down and look at the Japanese army attacking from the left. There were almost six or seventy people carrying two Type 70 light machine guns and two grenade grenades. Down the blood.

When the transfer came, the 96 light machine guns of the Japanese army were firing short bursts at the remaining half of the infantry squad on the left wing, so that they did not dare to show their heads, and at the same time let the grenades hit Ma Run in the trench.

The squad offensive tactics carved into the bones of the Japanese army are this set, how they were used before, and how they are still used now.

Ivan saw two 50mm high-explosive bombs land in the trenches of the position, and accurately hit two Ma Run who were suppressed by the 96 light machine gun and could not look up. The explosion engulfed the soldier's body and left his bones gone in an instant—— The fucking thing is that these two Ma Run couldn't make it to the death list.

There are still three soldiers left on the left wing position, and they will die under the bombardment of the Japanese army's precise grenades in less than 5 minutes.

Seeing that the grenadier caused a good amount of damage, the little devil officer who felt that it was time to charge roared, opened his legs and sprinted towards the position, followed by the soldiers beside him.

"Long live His Majesty H—!"

If it was not long ago, this guy would have been killed by Ivan first, but he knew very well that the most important thing to solve now was the grenadier gunner.

"boom--!"

"boom--!"

"Tom tom tom tom...!"

The machine gun controlled by Lecky also fired at the same time, instantly sweeping three or four Japanese soldiers rushing to the front, and the devil officer was so frightened that he quickly got down and roared loudly.
