Hardcore ruthless starts in the Pacific

The flame from the high-explosive bomb was only a hundred meters away from the observation post. It was the shell fired by the Japanese army. From the corner of the flame, Ivan saw the barrel of the M2 heavy machine gun.

I don't know if it was the little devil who killed the mouse blindly, or if he really had this level. Anyway, a heavy machine gun in the independent weapons company of the 3rd Battalion was reimbursed.

"Are you stupid!? The navy didn't come here with flares, wouldn't you do it?"

Yiwen couldn't hold back his complaints: "I've been fighting with the little devil for several years, why are you still so stiff!?"

The combat effectiveness of the US military has always been a mystery.

Judging from the progress of the overall battle, there is actually no big problem, but when we focus on the offensive and defensive battles of a position in a battle, there is not much difference between 1942 and 1945-in a macro perspective, the more The stronger the fight, the more annoying local battles can always be seen.

Half an hour after the start of the battle, I finally saw the flares take off. It was the flares fired by the navy. At the same time, a large number of searchlights were shot directly on the beach positions, leaving the Japanese troops who had been hiding in the dark with nowhere to hide. .

If Yiwen is willing to use [Visual Enhancement II], the battalion department can find a spring field at random, and it will surely harvest at least ten heads in the first half hour, but the skills must be used wisely, and they cannot be randomly opened for the sake of heads.

Now the flares illuminate the front of the entire front, so there is no need to compete with the machine guns, because blowing up the Japanese firepower points will give more points.

"Charlie, is the 105th Artillery Company in contact?"

"Just got in touch!"

Charlie said: "But...there is a Japanese attack in the south, and they are fully supporting A Company, 4st Battalion, 23rd Marine Regiment, 1th Marine Division, and there is also a Japanese attack on the beach. I request any army that can be contacted now to carry out the attack. reinforce."

Evan: "What the hell? Reinforcement!?"

I haven't asked you for artillery support yet, why don't you ask us to provide reinforcements first?

There are always signs of being surrounded by Japanese troops in all directions, but the data beforehand show that the little devil's counterattack force tonight is not too much.

The first day of the Battle of Saipan was changed because of Ivan’s vibrating wings. The overall deployment did not change. The 47th Brigade of the Japanese Army was stationed at the airport. This brigade was regarded as an elite force. There waiting to be beaten by the 27th Division of the American Army.

Now you are beating up the 4th Marine Division?

Ivan didn't know whether it was the artillery company running the train with its mouth full or something real.

"Sir, the artillery company has sent another distress message, saying that the Japanese army has almost touched the position!" Charlie continued.

It is normal for communications to be chaotic in times of war. Even the rich and powerful U.S. imperialists don’t have so many communications soldiers. There are firefights in all directions, and they are asking for reinforcements, shelling, and retreat. How can they handle it.

The artillery company staying at the No. 1 artillery position seemed to have caught a life-saving straw, and frantically sent a communication to the G team. Coincidentally, at this time, Major Crowley left the command post and came to the temporary building to supervise the transportation of materials in the rear. an observation post.

"It was a distress message from the army artillery company just now?"

Major Crowley's entire face was full of dark clouds. He was very dissatisfied with the chaos that occurred at night, and his whole body seemed to be holding back a fire, ready to burn his subordinates at any time.

The moment Ivan saw his immediate boss, he felt bad luck. If he was still incompetent and furious at the command post, it wouldn’t matter even if the 105th artillery company assigned to Group G was wiped out by the Japanese army. Anyway, the fault was not on Group G’s side. At that time, another artillery company can be mobilized.

But Major Crowley heard it.

"Yes, it's at the No. 1 artillery position." Ivan replied honestly.

Hearing these words, Major Crowley's eyes lit up instantly, as if he had found a bright path in the darkness.

"Communication soldier, notify the guard platoon, assemble as quickly as possible!"

After the order was over, Major Crowley patted Ivan on the shoulder and said, "The guard platoon will cooperate with your team to reinforce the army artillery company, and defend those guns at all costs - return immediately after repelling the Japanese army, if the Japanese army here If you are not repelled, you still need to guide the artillery!"

"As ordered, sir."

Evan had no choice.

PS:

Yesterday’s props are as shown in the picture above, and the accumulated rewards are 1476 monthly tickets, 77224 rewards, and 579 blades, with a total of 16000 words owed. Today’s update is 8000 words (4000 words are returned), and the accumulated rewards are 11000/16000 words, and 5000 words are still owed.

Okay, there are not many words, so you don’t have to force me to do 3 updates (9000~12000 words)!

26. Beauty, Lee, Harden, Superman! (4K)

In the early morning of June 1944, 6, regarding the defense of the bridgehead, no marine battalion has been able to create many outstanding results at present-because if it cannot hold it, it will be dismissed, and if it cannot hold it, there will be a lot of casualties and the court-martial is waiting for you.

Only Crowley was mad.

When he walked out of the command post, he should have already contacted the troops below, and carried out the combat deployment in an orderly manner. He also had a guard platoon as a mobile force, so it would not be a big problem to withstand the little devils attacking from the beach.

But for this guy whose desire is hard to contain, like other marine battalion commanders, he is just holding his ground, and he can't stand out tonight at all.

Tonight is obviously an opportunity that can be seized, but there is no way to start, which probably makes Major Crowley quite depressed.

He was worrying about how to stand out in tonight's battle. In order to harvest some points, a sergeant with strong subjective initiative kept contacting the 105th artillery company allocated to the G team. However, this company is facing the Japanese attack. How serious is it? Only when they arrived at the scene did they know that, in short, they kept asking the G team to come for reinforcements as if they were grasping at straws.

For Major Crowley, it was a huge surprise that fell from the sky.

For his ambition, the lives of many soldiers will be burned at night. Even if you point out that you should contact the 4th Marine Division to send reinforcements, he will reprimand you without hesitation, and use a set of high-sounding reasons-wait for contact The artillery company is cold, and the friendly army is in trouble, so why not rescue them? What do you want to do?If we die, we will all be court-martialed!

At night, without knowing the enemy's situation, it would be fine if the artillery company belonging to the army ran the train with its mouth full. If it was really as serious as it was said, I really don't know if the G team will come back alive.

"Check gear, ammo, projectiles."

Ivan found that Charlie couldn't lift his head because of guilt. The two veterans, Anderson and Foudino, were looking at the introverted Navajo with weird expressions. Peter looked normal but a little helpless. Yaz patted Charlie on the shoulder while Whisper comfort in their language.

To be reasonable, as a communication soldier, is there a problem in telling the received information?

He sticks to his responsibilities and completes his tasks without any mistakes, just bad luck.

But the reality is that because he kept translating the distress messages sent by the 105 howitzer company, the G team, who could have squatted at the 3rd battalion headquarters and watched other Ma Run's bloody battles, had to step into a dangerous area.

Major Crowley is frenetic and lustful, but not stupid enough to let Team G fill in the lines.It is impossible for the reinforcements this time to let the G team pass by. The additional guard platoon sent backhand is all the mobile forces he can mobilize at present.

If the Japanese army broke through the forward positions and reached the headquarters, the major would not have any troops at hand, so with his personality, he might not choose to retreat.

Retreating in embarrassment to the 2nd Battalion headquarters in the east is definitely more uncomfortable than killing him.

At this moment, Ivan was even a little afraid of his immediate boss. His wild gambling behavior seemed to be an eternal black hole, constantly sucking everyone around him into it.

"stand at attention!"

The terrain Ivan recorded in advance can play a certain role, but it is limited to rapid maneuvering to the position where the 4th Marine Division is stationed.

"turn right--!"

The veterans were not afraid of the war, they just felt unpleasant. At most, they would scold Charlie a few words: "Why are you so fucking talkative!"

Evan couldn't stop his boss who fell into the black hole of gambling and couldn't extricate himself, but he could struggle as much as he could within his ability, such as what to do next.

"Yaz, Charlie stay."

When he said this, he looked at Major Crowley specifically.

Everyone present heard it, and the reactions of the veterans were different. Anderson was confused, and Foudino was thoughtful, but they felt that Ivan's order was very strange.

Major Crowley, who received the most attention, turned around and left as if he hadn't heard it. Ma Run, who was following him, also left quickly. Only the G team was left in the observation post-only responsible for giving orders, not for specific execution. One of the few good things about this guy.

"no!"

Charlie, who was ashamed, suddenly raised his head and shouted: "I must not stay here!"

He attracted the attention of the veterans, but made Anderson and Foudino, who were speechless at first, feel that the Navajo was quite courageous.

"Obey orders." Ivan won't talk nonsense to him, "If you have any objections, come back and talk to me after the battle!"

"Aye aye, sir!" Fortino answered the officer almost in a growling voice.

When he did this, Anderson, his arch-rival, could only frown and remain silent.

At this time, it was Yaz who took a step forward, and said with reason: "I think a communication corps is needed to contact the battalion headquarters. If the 81mm mortar here is empty, it can provide some fire support."

After saying this, he looked at Charlie: "I think my compatriots will translate the coordinates as quickly as possible."

"..."

Ivan could use coercive orders to make Yaz submit, but there must have been a lot of trouble afterwards, and he felt that there was nothing wrong with what this gradually growing recruit said-the most important thing in war is the cannon, which was invented before the gun. Regardless of the form of attack, even in the efficient electronic warfare of the 21st century, artillery has not been eliminated. The difficulty of attacking and defending positions with artillery support and positions without artillery support is not at the same level.

"Charlie, I order you to stay here, maintain communication with Yaz, and provide us with artillery support at any time."

I am definitely unwilling, and proposed to exchange duties with Yaz.

"I caused all this, if I hadn't..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ivan.

"If you fail to communicate the information you receive, you will be remiss!"

Yiwen was uncharacteristically stern, and even the veterans were a little bit silent about the murderous aura that erupted from his whole body.

This is a new side of Evan that the G-team members have never seen before.

At this moment, they only felt that Ivan crawled out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood. That kind of voice, which was obviously not very loud but filled with chills, made people feel that the commander in front of them could not refuse.

"Dereliction of duty on the battlefield, in my eyes, should be shot!"

Probably because he was too frightened by Ivan's aura, Charlie trembled violently, so scared that he didn't even dare to look at Ivan's face.

"Obey my orders."

"Follow... obey..."

Charlie even seemed to have his throat blocked due to the great pressure.

"I can not hear--!"

Ivan walked over, staring at Charlie who didn't make a mistake but felt that he had hurt everyone, and scolded: "Look up, speak loudly—!"

"Aye aye, sir!!!"

Great, problem solved for now.

It's just that I have to deal with it a little after the fact. Charlie is too introverted and keeps a lot of things in his heart... Soldiers shouldn't be like this, they should be straightforward.

"set off!"

Just when Ivan glanced over, even the veterans Anderson and Foudino, who had experienced fighting, couldn't stop the chill in their bodies, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably a few times. They couldn't imagine bearing such a sense of oppression. How Charlie felt just now.

警卫排的集结速度很快，相比较正常一个步兵排的编制兵力不变，但火力凶猛很多——4挺M1919轻机枪、9挺BAR自动步枪、4具M2 60毫米迫击炮、4具巴祖卡，人均M1卡宾枪配备满载15发弹匣、5个榴弹枪手、士官/军士统一配备汤姆逊M1A1型号30发直弹匣。

The commander was Lieutenant Claus and Lieutenant Orlando, the deputy platoon leader.

Group G is not affiliated with this guard platoon, but Ivan is very humble and obeys the command of the lieutenant and second lieutenant.

"Don't dare." Lieutenant Klaus pushed his hand quickly, "Your Excellency the Major has specifically explained that if you need it, I will immediately provide you with a squad."

It is rare for a lieutenant to be so polite to a sergeant on the battlefield—Major Crowley is not a human being, but he will not deceive others.

"I know the way, do you need me to lead the way?" Ivan asked.

"That's very grateful to you."

The terrain I had in mind beforehand also played a role.

If the major didn't give this order, and the Japanese army at the beach hit the battalion headquarters again, Ivan really planned to arrange for the veterans to hide in various suitable places, and then retreat to the 2nd battalion headquarters to continue to compete with the Japanese army for who is more vicious .

The guard platoon and G group of the 3rd Battalion quickly passed through the position amidst the sound of gunfire and gunfire, and then, under Ivan's suggestion, instead of taking the traffic trench, they went directly to the area between the second line of defense and the third line of defense. Advance to the No. 1 artillery position.

This behavior can be regarded as relatively risky. After all, there are guns and guns everywhere in the night sky. So far, no one has figured out in which direction the Japanese army launched a ferocious attack... The division headquarters may have been receiving repeated reports. Message: We are being attacked by the main force of the Japanese army and request all support.

The staff officers set up the sand table, and then everyone in the division fell into silence, because the sand table showed that every position was being attacked by the Japanese army, as if the beasts surrounded the entire bridgehead with a force several times that of the US army, and the blood pressure of the generals soared ——Damn it, where did the Japanese army get so many troops! ?

"Keep up, keep up!"

According to the tactical regulations of the US military, try to save your energy and don't march in a hurry. If you have to march in a military personnel carrier instead of your feet.

It's not because the U.S. military attaches so much importance to soldiers, it's just that the goal of the hasty march is reinforcements. If the soldiers are exhausted, reinforcements are a joke.

Therefore, during the Korean War, the U.S. military did not understand how the volunteers could suddenly appear behind them overnight and still maintain a strong combat effectiveness. They often felt that their opponents could not be considered as human beings. The calories provided are less than one-tenth of the calories consumed by a normal soldier every day. If American soldiers are required to reach the same level, the officers will probably be sieved by the soldiers below with machine guns.

'These guys, fuck it! '

Ivan's physical fitness is not very good. Although the load he carries has been reduced, he still can't compare with the Ma Runs in the guard platoon—every soldier he saw is an American superman.

You must know that the per capita weight of these guys is about 50 kilograms. After all, there are a lot of automatic firepower, mortars, and bazookas. If these things want to exert their corresponding power, they must carry more ammunition and shells.

In this way, the two columns can still run wildly all the way, throwing the G group away by dozens of meters.

It's normal to think about it carefully.

What kind of officers bring out what kind of soldiers, not to mention the personal guard platoon.

With Major Crowley's fanatical style of being so fanatical that he can see death as home for the sake of merit, it is impossible for the guard platoon to be bad per capita. The new recruits are screaming.

Looking at them, Ivan felt Major Crowley's ambition even more.

After the Battle of Saipan, the major became a lieutenant colonel, the deputy battalion commander became a battalion commander, and this group of elite companies was transferred to the company. After three or four months of training, they created the most capable infantry battalion in Ma Runli... .In the end let Major Crowley, an officer with no background, succeed in the sky.
