"..."

Evan was a little speechless.

The released mission objectives are very clear, and the rewards are a bit complicated, but there is basically no need to look at them.

Special missions and difficult missions can be passed directly, especially this [difficult mission].[-] points and [-] free attribute points are not just rewards on paper if they are completed—according to the things encountered in the last reincarnation, achievements and heroic performances, if they are not guaranteed, they will have to be multiplied by × points.

But the mission goal is to turn the tide of battle and defeat the Japanese army here.

Yiwen is a corporal, and he has not cooperated with his comrades in fighting devils yet. In the last reincarnation, he already knew that this battle was bound to be defeated. Just protecting himself is so difficult... You told me to reincarnate Who can reverse the defeat?What a joke!

But...if Lieutenant Colonel Puller's decision can be influenced, there may be a possibility of reversing the defeat.

Special missions need to be considered. The Japanese commander who can defeat and encircle the three US marine battalions is definitely not the kind of master who shouts "onboard charge" when his head gets hot, and he will definitely stay at the rear headquarters.

Leaving aside the fact that Ma Run had no information from the Japanese command headquarters, if Ivan forced Baslon and the others to break in, they would only be annihilated by several times the Japanese army on the spot.

Therefore, the only task that can be completed is this [sub-quest].

N>+J value-added rewards look very attractive, but the requirements are also very demanding. N~#j

He belonged to the machine gun squad rather than the infantry, so don't even think about rushing up to fight the Japanese army when attacking. Basilone will definitely hold him down unless the Japanese squad gets to the side of the machine gun position.

You can think about it when the offense turns to defense, but it's still the same sentence-never engage in cold weapon battles with the Japanese army unless it is absolutely necessary.The experience of the last reincarnation told Yiwen one thing: the closer the [luck] is to the less effective it is, although at that time he could not feel the pain because of the skills, but the bayonets, grenades, and pistol bullets, he still remembers one thing. Clearly, never forget.

Ivan will stay in Guadalcanal until December. During this period, he has fought a lot of battles, especially a free attribute point for 12 days, which is much better than the survival reward of 10 point per day. If you want to get points, you can be a ghost sergeant , Lieutenants, and soldiers, aren't they faster than going up and desperately?

If you have to stare at this reward that looks tempting but actually has traps, you will lose more than you gain if you get injured.

In the last reincarnation, he suffered from malaria after being seriously injured and forced to continue his life, which led to his retirement in 7 days. In fact, the battle of Guadalcanal until the army took over still could not solve the problem of soldiers contracting tropical diseases.

'There is no need to fight the Japanese army with bayonets when you first arrive. '

With the simple machine gun positions set up on the left and right wings of the first echelon of the attack, the 1st platoon that took on this task has also completed crossing the river and quickly dispersed near the only M2 light tank and began to advance slowly.

At 11:25, the first echelon joined the vanguard.

We have almost crossed the Matanikau River for about 1.5 kilometers.

Through the binoculars, Ivan saw the defensive positions set up by the Japanese army on the west bank. Although there were craters blasted by heavy artillery everywhere, and it seemed that the entire ground had been plowed, some Japanese troops still relied on the trenches to open fire to stop the advance of the 1st row of Ma Run.

The distance between the two sides is about 200 meters.

Two M1917s and two 60 guns immediately provided fire support at a position about 300 meters behind the first echelon to suppress the Japanese army in the trench.

In the last reincarnation, Ivan has been shooting 400-meter and 500-meter targets for a long time, but he has never actually fought at this distance. He can see clearly with a telescope, but it is quite difficult to see with the naked eye—because the little devil only shows a small half of his head relying on the trench. I saw a tiny black dot with pure sighting.

After trying a few shots, he found that there was a big difference between shooting at a distance of 400 meters and 500 meters and actual combat. If the Japanese army did not rush out of the position, they would have to practice thousands of bullets at this distance to achieve a headshot.

'It's better to fight defensively, the Japanese army will rush out by themselves! '

While sighing, Ivan looked at the left wing with a telescope. Although he couldn't see anything, he had seen the map beforehand and knew that there were two mountains that got higher and higher as they went south, straddling it like two separate fingers. In Ma Run's planned attack area.

But the more you go there, the more jungles, swamps and other death zones where I don't know how many scouts are missing, so the commander above didn't send more troops to occupy it.

伊文由于知道这场惨败，所以觉得日军有可能从那个地方杀出来分兵渡河占领马坦尼考河东岸的阵地，同时对着11团1营的侧翼、7团1营与2营的屁股发起突然袭击。

Otherwise, there is no other reason for a disastrous defeat if Ma Run conducts a coordinated attack with tanks, aircraft, artillery, and three marine battalions.

With this in mind, Ivan felt more and more that the little devils were terrifying and perverted—they were able to maintain their fighting spirit and morale until the critical moment when Ma Run lost a dozen scouts and decided that it was impossible for humans to survive in that place Launch a surprise attack.

"Tom tom tom tom tom—!"

The sound of the M1917 Browning heavy machine gun was extremely loud. Although it could not cause much damage, it was enough to suppress the little devil in the trench and it was difficult to raise his head.

At this time, the rapid fire of the M2 60mm mortar will let the little devils in the trench know what terror is!

"Ding ding ding ding——!"

Seeing that the little devil was so crushed in the position that he could not lift his head, the soldiers in the 1st platoon of Company D immediately shouted loudly and launched a charge. Before that, the M2 light tanks with radio communication were no longer used as bunkers for the infantry, just like racing cars The floor oil rushed out with one foot.

"Hu———re———!"

Compared with defensive battles, the machine gun team will be more boring in the offensive battle, especially the heavy machine guns used as support firepower cannot go to the real front line to fight the Japanese army.

Observing the situation of the Japanese trenches with binoculars, Ivan saw that the soldiers at the front of the platoon were about 1 meters away from the trenches, as if obeying the order of the platoon leader, they threw MK30 offensive grenades one after another, and then all lay down, waiting for the grenades to explode. The M3 light tank, which was racing at the time, arrived at the first trench of the Japanese army, like a steel monster, about to devour the Japanese army in the position. After a few seconds, the following infantry also jumped into the trench and began to clean up the Japanese army inside.

The success was a bit too much, as judged by the officers-the Japanese army suffered heavy losses at Edson Ridge, and it was impossible to have the ability to counterattack.

However, Yiwen felt that something was wrong. The problem was the Japanese counterattack firepower - he couldn't even see the grenadier to return fire!

Thanks to the fathers of the funders for the feeding. Two days of feeding made the daily sales better, and then I won a recommendation from the editor in charge. Really... Thank you very much. I really appreciate you doing this. Cry to death~ woo woo woo~

68. Ivan would like jungle guerrilla warfare, but definitely doesn't like jungle offensive warfare

"Follow up, follow up, don't stay on the pontoon for too long—!"

Basilone disassembled the M1917 while ordering the orderly to notify the machine gun squad on the right wing.

The infantry's entry into the devil's trench meant that it did not need the support of heavy machine gun firepower for the time being, so it was necessary to immediately follow up and set up new firepower points based on the enemy's positions to hinder the support troops sent by the Japanese army.

"How many bullets were knocked out?" Ivan asked Evans worriedly.

As Basilone's deputy shooter, Evans knew the ammunition consumption best. He glanced at the ammunition box and replied directly: "There are more than 30 rounds left."

Breaking into the trenches of the Japanese army, the heavy machine gun only consumed more than 200 rounds of ammunition. This is obviously a problem-either the Japanese army's willingness to resist is not strong, or it is setting Ma Run up.

"Nima's!"

Ivan immediately patted Baslon on the shoulder and said: "Now inform the big goose staying in Company A that the Japanese army is likely to be lurking near the two mountains on the left flank of the 11st Battalion of the 1th Regiment, waiting for us to go deep and break the entire attack." The rear of the troops."

"Is there such a possibility?" Basilone asked with a frown. "A dozen scouts went to that place as early as August, but no one came back alive."

"The plane went to investigate yesterday when the weather was okay, and found nothing," said deputy shooter Evans.

The planes were able to spy on the U.S. military's housekeeping skills, but they were not fully prepared for this attack. From the end of the battle at Edson Ridge until September 9, the weather in Guadalcanal Island was relatively bad, and the cumulative time of clearing may not be enough. In less than 27 hours, most of the time it was raining and there was still a small half of the time brewing rain.

Today is a fairly good time to prepare for rain, and there are not enough dark clouds in the sky. The weather observer at the division headquarters said that there will be no rain for the next three days on the 23rd, 24th, and 25th. There will be a storm on the 26th. It started to clear up.

As for whether it is credible or not, Ivan doesn't know much, but Brigadier General Vandergrift believed it, so he rushed to launch this attack.

From the 16th to the 19th, there was rain, and it stopped from time to time. On the 20th, there was no rain, on the 21st, it rained heavily, and on the 22nd, it was cloudy. Only after experiencing such weather can Yiwen know so clearly.

Therefore, the aircraft can only detect the 20th and 22nd days. It is difficult to find out whether there are enemies in the land of death under cloudy conditions. The most important thing is whether the pilot is willing to investigate with his heart instead of perfunctory.

"You all say that, Big Goose probably won't believe that there are enemies in that place, let alone the commander of the 11st Battalion of the 1th Regiment." Ivan sighed, "But I think it's time to make an opinion... .”

"There must be a reason?" Evans shrugged.

"My intuition."

Yiwen can’t say that I knew this attack was a disastrous defeat in the last reincarnation. The battle lost more than 800 people and directly abolished the line-filling infantry of the two marine battalions. The topographic map of the area is the only way to determine the Japanese army's ability to defeat Ma Run.

Anyone can be Zhuge Liang after the event, but who would believe a corporal's intuition without concrete evidence before the event?

"Let's report it." Basilone motioned to the orderly.

After the communication was sent back, there was no reply. It was impossible for the machine gun squad to wait in place. After dismantling the M1917, they followed up immediately.

After leaping 600 meters, Ivan learned of the battle situation.

The Japanese army stationed in this area was about half a squad size. Except for seven or eight who escaped by throwing away their armor and armor, the rest died in the position, while Ma Run in the first row was only injured 1 people.

It was around 1:[-] p.m., and D was connected to the order to continue to move forward. Ivan became more and more worried about this, but the order was an order and had to be executed.

There is a large amount of forest vegetation in the second line of defense of the Japanese army. Even with the extension of artillery fire, they can't destroy much. For machine guns, the firing range has been seriously hindered, and the Japanese army used light and heavy machine gun fire on the second line of defense. Suppressed 1 The M2 light tank immediately provided fire support when it saw this, but such an unsightly target must be hit hard—three Japanese soldiers holding explosive packs killed the M2 light tank from the side.

Seeing this situation, Basilone decisively ordered to advance to 200 meters behind the front-line troops, so that the M1917's shooting range could be wider.

In fact, Ivan opposed this approach. He had just argued with Baslon for a few words, and then he came down with the order of Captain Bu Jonesler, the commander of Company D. Two machine gun squads and 6 mortars advanced to 1 meters behind the first row.

Since the captain was self-aware, the order was obviously requested by the platoon leader of the 1st platoon and supported by the platoon leaders of the 2nd and 3rd platoons. He only asked the machine gun squad to have enough firepower, regardless of the life or death of the squad members.

400~500 meters is an excellent distance. You don’t want to kill but just suppress the little devil. This distance can avoid the Japanese grenade attack.

There is no need to consider other mortars, infantry artillery, field artillery, mountain artillery, etc., because even if you stay 800 meters away, these artillery can be fired without any effort.

"Fuck!"

Yiwen inevitably thought of Kanglian's artillery direct shooting tactics. In comparison, it is still more ruthless. Human and animal forces push the lighter cannons to follow the heavy machine gun team to a distance of 500-800 meters from the enemy. The 98K against the sniper.

The scene where the M2 light tank was killed by the Japanese army's meat explosives was clearly seen through the binoculars... It was because of this that he was unwilling to let the machine gun squad move so close, and he became more and more convinced that the Japanese army was there Play tactics that lure the enemy deep.

"Report - the 11st Battalion of the 1th Regiment and the 7nd Battalion of the 2th Regiment have taken down the second line of defense of the Japanese army and are preparing to attack the third line of defense of the Japanese army. The big goose asked the D company to speed up and there is no need to save ammunition. It must be resolved before 3 p.m. This group of Japanese troops has advanced to the third line of defense of the Japanese army!"

"Do you think we are chasing the rout?" Ivan cursed fiercely.

Both the center and the right wing passed smoothly, just like the battle that attacked Taiwujiao in early September.

Ma Run, who had wanted to attack wildly for a long time, was faster and faster, including the commander, who couldn't stop the car, and kept urging the front line to continue to move forward, forward, and forward!

After the machine gun team moved quickly and set up positions, Ivan still didn't see any shells from the grenadiers, and even reached the position of the second line of defense of the Japanese army, not even a single counterattack artillery fire.

From 80 meters ahead, there are trees of different sizes. Their branches and branches can even overlap each other, so that the sun can only shine through the gaps in the leaves.

Street fighting is brutal and so is jungle warfare.

A piece of grass, a tree, a stone, some dirt, you don’t know when someone will pop up and shoot you, and even say...don’t bother to use a gun, find a thicker piece of wood to shoot you Sharpen the head, apply some poison on it, and give it to you while you are concentrating on other places. If you don't say you will die, you will undoubtedly be seriously injured.

Evan might like jungle guerrilla warfare, but he absolutely hates jungle assault warfare.

Ma Run really didn't take these crowns seriously. '

After discovering this, Ivan raised the M1903 and swept it towards the trees within the shooting range.

"Bang bang bang bang-!"

Reload, keep firing.

So, I won the lottery.

There are really little devils who hide and don't move, even if the second line of defense is crumbling, they don't reveal their position.

【Kill soldiers*1】

[Sub-quest: Kill 1/5 when attacking]

"Bang bang bang bang-!"

Yiwen frowned after hearing the kill broadcast, and put on a painful mask on his face—the Japanese army couldn’t hide, and they absolutely wanted to give Ma Run a big job at night, so he used 8 bridges to hold 40 rounds of bullets , one canopy and one canopy cleared.

【Kill soldiers*8】

[Sub-quest: Kill 5/5 when attacking]

The closest one to the machine gun squad was only 80 meters away, but this little devil couldn't shoot a single shot—his terrible endurance sent chills down Ivan's spine.

This Japanese army was not encountered by Alligator Creek, nor was it encountered by Edson Ridge. They had extraordinary patience and cunning, just to bite off a large piece of American meat.

"thump--"
