Hardcore ruthless starts in the Pacific

"Bang bang bang-!"

The sound of shells exploding is often followed by the whistling sound of more shells flying over. The soil within a radius of 300 meters of the two positions was plowed completely in just ten minutes, even if it seemed that this area had fallen into There was a sea of ​​flames, and the artillery group on the east coast never stopped firing, and even the frequency of shelling was faster, more ruthless, and more.

The jungle is not a good place. The densely packed trees will cause trouble for the trajectory of the shells. It is even possible that only one of the three shells will land in the designated area. Therefore, more shells can effectively kill the self-satisfied little devils on the ground. them.

With undifferentiated firepower coverage, Yiwen and the others were naturally within the range of artillery fire coverage. Anyway, everyone was not prepared to leave the position alive. Compared with the screams and pain of the devils, they lay in the trench with their heads in ecstasy.

Ivan, who felt dizzy again, could no longer hold on, but was still about to give an order.

"Alive, everyone is alive... If I fall, don't save me, pile my body in the place where you hide, let me absorb the shock waves and fragments of the shells for you, and then... Everyone, live for me!"

After saying this, Ivan's eyes darkened and he passed out.

"Beautiful thinking—!"

Elsie obeyed the order, resolutely carried out the task, and called the officer all night, but this time, he directly contradicted him, dragged the unconscious Ivan into the artillery hole inside the No. Blocked outside the blast hole.

If a shell falls in, the fragments and shock waves will be absorbed by their bodies first, and even if there is no whole body, Ivan has to fight for a chance to survive.

In fact, it was not worth doing. If Yiwen was still conscious, he would never let them exchange two intact lives for one that might get out of reincarnation at any time.

"Bang-bang-!"

"Boom--!"

Watching the intensive artillery fire on the second line of defense gradually stop, Lieutenant Colonel Lewis Burwell Puller wiped the blood on his face, and the anger in his heart rose a lot—if it weren't for the 11st Battalion and the 1th Regiment of the 7th Regiment The two battalion commanders of the 2nd Battalion panicked and led to the direct defeat of the large army. How could it be possible for the reinforcements originally provided to Ivan and the others to stabilize the front line.

The more Lieutenant Colonel Puller thought about it, the more he wanted to kill those two colleagues with one shot. He was jealous of Colonel Edson's contribution and he didn't have the same ability. Why are battalion-level officers in the Marine Corps full of such waste? ? ?

But the more important thing now is to secure the way to retreat, so he yelled at the Ma Runs of Company C and Company D who were already exhausted from the fierce fighting all night: "Our brothers have been fighting fiercely in that place all night, they give We fought for a full five hours and called in the artillery to cover the positions indiscriminately...We can't give ourselves any excuses for holding back!"

"Hu———re———!"

Last night, I wrote the chapter "Fire at Us". When I woke up in the morning, I clicked on the small broken website and it was similar to push. Thinking of the few votes these days, it seems like you have all left me, and I almost cried.

93. Saving Corporal Ivan

When the big goose arrived with the counter-offensive troops, they saw only craters with a radius of 700 meters like the surface of the moon. There were too many craters with a diameter of [-] or [-] meters to count, and a small number of craters with a diameter of [-] or [-] meters were extremely conspicuous.

"This is still a position!?"

I don't know how many tons of shells fell, but the position held by the 1st platoon and 2 machine gun squads of D company was completely destroyed. Many soils were turned over several times, and there was no trace of the trenches at all.

At this moment, a faint red light began to appear on the horizon, which slightly illuminated the area. The Ma Run who came to support saw countless fragments appearing on the ground that had turned purple-black. Broken arms.

The Ma Runs could no longer tell whether those human tissues belonged to their own people or the Japanese army. This cruel hell made everyone, even Lieutenant Colonel Lewis Burwell Puller, fall into a long silence.

Everyone was speechless, and the red light that shone over made the silence even more sad - because they knew that there were a group of warriors fighting the Japanese army that was more than ten times their own here, and none of them chose to surrender or Run away, and even call the artillery to bombard yourself to hold this position.

"Go search immediately, I will find it... If there is any Japanese army that can move, I will kill it on the spot. All the Japanese soldiers who fainted will be tied up and sent back to Henderson Airport, and then let the navy bring them back to the United States to receive the masses. anger!" Big Goose felt sorry for these subordinates who kept coming to seek support at night, "Whoever can find a living comrade in arms, I will apply for a medal for him, and I will never break my promise!"

"Evan--!"

"Gison—!"

"Elsie!!!"

Henry and Bravella, who had gone to the battalion headquarters but failed to return, were the first to act. They would never forget the time they fought with their comrades in this position. Purple dirt for digging.

The Ma Runs brought by the big goose only divided 1 to [-] people to go to the first row of positions. Their goal was to recapture, build, and clean up, so as to prevent the Japanese army from launching a desperate attack on their side during the day. The rest of Ma Run all moved It is mainly to carry out large-scale excavation on the original machine gun squad position.

"Here's a—!"

Basilone was found by Henry. He was not injured but was stunned by the shells. Henry hurriedly called Ma Run to take him back for simple treatment.

As the amount of excavation increased, many lucky little devils were also dug out.

Ma Run, who dug up the little devils, looked unhappy. If he hadn't been ordered, he would have used the engineer shovel to slam it a few times, but thought that these devils would be dragged to the domestic street to show the public, and Ma Run and the others would Not so depressed.

Before dawn, the division commander, Brigadier General Vandergrift, had already issued an order to retreat, but at least a few tough battles would be required to evacuate from the direction of the Matanikau River. The supplies, ammunition, artillery shells, and troops of the three marine battalions were no longer sufficient to support them. Therefore, a large number of transport ships and ships were urgently mobilized, and the wounded and prisoners would be sent back to Cape Lunga first.

Big Goose wanted to find even one Ma Run who was still alive in this position. After all, the reinforcements he promised had dragged on for more than an hour, and the guilt in his heart was like a sharp sword piercing back and forth. Extricate yourself.

So when he heard that there were survivors, he was ecstatic, and he ran over to check-he knew John Basilone, and even knew the shitty things he did when he was serving in the Philippines.When he returned to serve, the Army treated him like a "God of Plague". When he first joined the Marine Corps, many officers had some opinions on him, but this battle has proved that he is an excellent soldier.

It's just that Goose would prefer to see Zack Ivan.

When he just crossed the Matanikau River, this little corporal noticed that something was wrong with the Japanese army, and reported his views layer by layer more than once, but at that time he was too confident, even blindly believed in his own Judgment caused this offensive to take a turn for the worse overnight and turned into a retreat with heavy losses.

If he had believed in this corporal at the beginning, it would not have turned into such a situation.

If it weren't for this corporal who led dozens of Ma Run to stand firm and fight overnight to solve the most dangerous situation, the casualties of the three marine battalions would have far exceeded the current count of 700.

He has no reinforcements, and the artillery support is only 6 M2 60mm mortars that have run out of ammunition. When he finally has the support of the artillery group on the east coast, he can only choose to shoot at himself-I believe there will not be many Soldiers can be like him, because human instinct is to seek survival, and it is against human genes to demand to shoot yourself without hesitation.

But Zack Ivan did it just to keep this life channel.

"Find it for me, dig it for me—!"

The big goose also began to pick up the engineering shovel to dig the purple-black soil, "Zack Ivan, Corporal of the Marine Corps, I want to see people when I live, and I want to see corpses when I die!"

As soon as the words fell, Bravella not far away shouted: "We got it, we got it, it's Manny and Elsie!"

Before digging up the soil on these two guys, Bravella felt that the posture of the two guys dodging the shells was very strange-normal soldiers would like to lie on their stomachs and stuff their heads into the soil while dodging the shells, but he was leaning side by side and could still vaguely see them. To the moat wall where traces were made.

"Come and help—!" Bravella yelled.

The thick soil seemed like concrete poured in from above, and he couldn't pull Manny out with all his strength.

"Go—!"

The big goose who heard the shout immediately gave an order: "Give me six or seven people!"

With a large number of people and great strength, together with Bravella, a total of ten Ma Run quickly dug out Manny and Elsie who were still alive from the soil.

"Why do you dodge the gun like this?"

"Have they lost any desire to survive?"

"It's weird, it's so weird, it shouldn't be!"

After all, the posture of avoiding the cannon was too weird, which aroused the doubts of the Ma Runs, and then a rough guy felt that something was wrong the more he looked at it, and subconsciously said: "It seems that he is using his body to protect a person who entered the anti-cannon hole."

As soon as this sentence appeared, Bravela shuddered instantly and shouted: "Corporal Zacks Ivan, it can only be him——!"

After finally hearing Ivan's name, the big goose dropped the engineering shovel and rushed over in stride.

"Where? Where is he? Is he still alive? Or dead? Where's the body!"

Bravela pointed to the place where it was no longer possible to see whether there was a blast hole and said, "Corporal Ivan is probably inside the place that Manny and Elsie blocked with their bodies."

"Don't worry about it being impossible, dig it for me, dig it for me—!" The big goose was so anxious that its eyes were like copper bells.

The Ma Runs who obeyed the order immediately started working, and dug out a pair of feet in just a few tens of seconds. The boots were American rather than Japanese.

Without saying a word, Bravela stepped forward to hold Ivan's ankle, and said overjoyedly: "Here it is, he is here, his body is still warm!"

Therefore, Ivan, who was seriously injured and unconscious, was carried on a stretcher to the battalion headquarters for emergency treatment.

Morgan, Garland, and Evans were also quickly found. They seemed to have been tainted by Ivan's luck, and they had no obvious trauma other than being stunned by shells.

On the afternoon of September 9, the wounded and the battalion headquarter boarded the transport ship and returned to Henderson Airport. Big Goose personally took the wounded to the field hospital.

94. Evan, wake up!

Wright was sent back in the second wave, and he almost suffocated to death. After all, Lieutenant Colonel Puller's subordinates thought that the tragic position was Ivan, Basilone and other Ma Run who belonged to the weapons platoon.Fortunately, this guy's vitality is tenacious, and the Ma Runs dug trenches to rebuild their positions, so they found the dying Wright.

......

......

Lieutenant Chris in the field hospital looked at the half-dead Ma Run in front of him and felt dizzy for a while. Even if there were only four wounds, three of them had undergone emergency treatment and it was fine, but the remaining one could basically give a named The family of Zack Ivine's Marine corporal sent a death notice.

Not to mention the size of the fragments, the depth of the penetration is beyond imagination, the location is on the right back, although it is unlikely to penetrate the heart, but the lungs are likely to be injured... But Lieutenant Colonel Puller said this The guy was hit by fragments very early, but he was able to act and command all the time, leading a dozen Ma Run to fight until the last moment.

"Lieutenant Chris, he's still alive, even if the hope is slim, I'm counting on you." Lieutenant Colonel Puller stared straight at the medical officer, his tone undeniable.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant Colonel, I can only do my best, and I cannot guarantee that this guy will survive." Lieutenant Chris hurriedly shied away, "In other words——Your Excellency, Lieutenant Colonel, whether he can survive such a serious injury depends entirely on him .”

"I mean until he dies, you must give priority to everything." Big Goose said sternly, "I know you have received professional training and will distinguish priorities, but Zacks Ivan is different, he is fighting Heroes, you must never give up even a sliver of hope until you are completely dead."

Now that the commander of the marine battalion has said so, what can the little lieutenant do?

"Aye aye, sir!"

Lieutenant Chris immediately called for people to start operating on Ivan.

It stands to reason that the seriously injured Ma Run needs to be injected with anesthesia, because who knows if he will wake up suddenly during the operation, and some noise will directly lead to the failure of the operation, but the existing supplies are relatively scarce—even if it is morphine It is not enough for this kind of medical soldier to keep dozens of things.

In the case of a hasty retreat from the west bank of the Matanikau River, it is impossible to take away all the supplies, destroy them on the spot and not leave them to the little devils. This is what is being done there now. Chris cannot guarantee that the medical soldiers who go to the front can bring There were so many medical supplies back, so I had people tie Yiwen's hands and feet so cruelly that he didn't use anesthetics for the operation.

It took almost three hours to remove the piece of shrapnel from Ivan's body, but was pleasantly surprised to find that the lungs were not injured. Afterwards, the wound was cleaned, sutured, and blood transfused. The rest was up to Ma Run, known as the battle hero Can you survive on your own will?

After completing this operation, Lieutenant Chris immediately went to the next one. As Ma Run brought the wounded soldiers back wave after wave, he did not close his eyes for more than 30 hours, and slept for only four hours. Get up and get on with your work.

Although he ruthlessly classified the wounded soldiers, treated Ma Run who had high hope of survival, and gave up Ma Run who had little hope, he did not neglect his responsibilities in the slightest. Generally speaking, he was a respectable field doctor.

"call......"

He still didn't forget to take time to observe Ivan. In the first 30 hours or so, Ivan had repeated bacterial infections. Lieutenant Chris decisively used the penicillin that was not much in reserve.

In the next few days, he was not stingy. Basically, the penicillin used to treat Ivan was enough to treat Ma Run, who was infected by a dozen bacteria.

People are not the same, and they are not born fair-compared with ordinary Ma Run, the priorities of combat heroes cannot be compared.

During this period, Brigadier General Vandergrift came to visit him two or three times, and asked Lieutenant Chris to do everything possible to save him.

If Zacks Ivan is alive, he can encourage Ma Run, whose morale is low after the defeat, and also hurt the morale of the Japanese army.

On October 10, the corporal of the Marine Corps, who was fearless and brave in the face of a Japanese army more than ten times his own strength on the west bank of the Matanikau River, was out of danger. Lieutenant Chris wore a pair of bloodshot gloves. Eyes kept watch until this day.

This day happened to be the time to launch a revenge war against the Japanese army entrenched in the Matanikau River. Brigadier General Vandergrift personally mobilized before the battle, publicized Ivan's deeds, and told Ma Run, who was about to launch an attack, that this The fighting hero sent by God was out of danger.

The defeat at the end of September caused the first line of defense on the east bank of the Matanikau River to fall into the hands of the Japanese army. The situation on the west bank is really unclear, but during this period of time, intelligence from the navy showed that the Tokyo Express was constantly The transportation of supplies, food, and soldiers was obviously intended to launch a final decisive battle against the U.S. forces on Guadalcanal.

Therefore, even if Ma Run's morale is not very high, Brigadier General Vandergrift must carry out this revenge battle.

Ivan was out of danger, and

The publicity in the past few days has helped Brigadier General Vandergrift a lot, and the morale of the Ma Runs has risen visibly with the naked eye.

Become a battle hero, even if you are seriously injured, Lieutenant Chris in the field hospital will try to save you from death.

Yankees have always liked personal heroism in the past, and it reached its peak during World War II. Heroes in the army will make more soldiers yearn for, learn from, and imitate. Therefore, it is very important that Zacks Ivan escapes the danger of his life. Very important.

It stands to reason that they should be sent back to China directly. However, during this period of time, there was basically no news from the Navy. The only thing they had was to escort the 23th Infantry Regiment of the 164rd Infantry Division of the Army to land on Guadalcanal. There was no way to ensure that the combat heroes could return home safe and sound.

At the same time, Brigadier General Vandergrift also had his own considerations - the Japanese army was clearly preparing for a big battle, and their soldiers suffered heavy losses due to the operation at the end of September, and their morale was quite low. Even if an army infantry regiment went ashore, it would be difficult to restore morale .

Therefore, it is necessary for Ma Run to stay in Guadalcanal, who is worthy of the title of "Hero of America". Ivan remained on Guadalcanal.

Ma Run's usual practice is to let combat heroes stay on the battlefield, while most of the navy and army are sent back to China as instructors, and by the way, urge Congress to give money quickly.

Who makes the third-class people in active service and the fourth-class people in the future insufficient funds? The American war method always requires materials and preparations far beyond the schedule, and a lot of waste is used to improve the morale of soldiers, but Ma Run can't be as arrogant as the army , can only let Ivan stay on the battlefield to boost morale.

The reason why John Basilone participated in the Battle of Iwo Jima was that he himself was going to the front to participate in the battle against Japan, and on the other hand, Ma Run's bosses thought it would boost morale.

On October 10, Ivan woke up.

The scene I saw when I opened my eyes looked familiar, but it wasn't the ward of the main world.

'Live...but so tired. '

It's not physical fatigue, on the contrary, he still feels that this body is full of strength... Fatigue refers to mental fatigue, as if a black hole suddenly opened in his mind, drawing endlessly His mental strength was weakened by that bloody battle.

'Look first, the task panel...Maybe it can heal the internal friction. '

95. Ivan's behavior is called heroism
