Hardcore ruthless starts in the Pacific

Even so, his own subordinates were killed or injured every minute and every second. The gunshots and cannons were mixed with the screams of the Ma Runs, as if they were going to step by step Klaus, who was promoted to the acting company commander yesterday. The lieutenant pushed forward in desperation.

The helmet lifted by the shock wave of the shell hit Lieutenant Klaus on the head hard, and at the same time he saw a 70mm high-explosive shell tearing the orderly who was about to look for the tank in the front left to pieces. The mud mixed with blood splashed out and hit his face.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck..."

Just as he kept exhaling the fragrance, waves of shells whizzed past his head suddenly.

In the next second, explosions came from Height 207, and Lieutenant Klaus instantly remembered Sergeant Lawrence Evan, the commander of Group G.

PS:

Usually in the last chapter, if you feel that you owe too much debt, the benefactor fathers will be merciful. After a few days of reward observation, I have gained this valuable experience. Generally speaking, the problem is not big, and the champagne is still have to keep going.

37. Who is he with such accurate marksmanship? (4K)

The shells fell crazily on the 207 Heights as if they didn't want money, and the flames and smoke from the explosion seemed to engulf the entire mountain.

Saturation bombing is always a tactic that the American troops relied on and even generated huge reliance on during World War II. On the Western Front, the German defense line was often smashed with thunderous ground-to-air firepower. When we were in the forward position, we could often see a few lucky ones surrendering to the Allies with deep fear on their faces amidst a pile of stumps and broken arms.

Many German veterans who participated in the Eastern Front War were deeply moved by the saturation bombing of the Allies: "The Soviet artillery bombardment lasted only a few hours, and the Allies were simply crazy...firepower Calculated by covering the sky, before attacking, we have to use artillery fire far exceeding that of the Soviet army to bomb for several hours-the number of bomb craters on the company-level defensive positions has exceeded the total strength of the defensive positions, and it can even reach three or four times!"

In fact, if you look deeper, you will find that the United States during World War II lacked ammunition.

That's right!

In the Second World War, the United States, which was so rich, the world's factory, and the unrivaled productivity, was short of shells... If calculated according to artillery manuals and training textbooks, it was really lacking, even very lacking.

——If it is necessary to launch an attack on a regiment-level position, the commander should organize artillery coverage 2 days in advance to about 4 hours before the start of the attack. Indirect fire should cooperate with air power to ensure that the rest time before saturation bombing does not exceed 2 Within 4 hours of concentrated artillery bombardment, it is necessary to ensure that more than 70% of the total area of ​​the enemy's painstakingly constructed field fortifications are destroyed, and more than 50% of the enemy is killed.

Combined with the information obtained by the pioneers of each company when they touched the enemy's nose, a rough calculation is made. Large-caliber artillery needs to destroy at least 2 bases, and small and medium-caliber 3-4 bases. At the same time, it is equipped with aerial bombing to complete the indicators in the textbook.

The U.S. military does not have an artillery division. There are only independent artillery regiments under each infantry division. The normal distribution of artillery shells is 1 base for large-caliber shells, 2 bases for medium-caliber shells, 3 bases for small-caliber shells, and the base number of ammunition for anti-armor forces. Will reach 4~5.

Therefore, the conclusion from the actual combat is that there is not enough shells to reduce the casualties of the attacking troops.

Think about why the rabbits in the Korean War suffered from insufficient firepower phobia. It was because the U.S. military had endless firepower shortage phobia because of the "huge casualties in the eyes of Americans" during World War II. Heavy artillery comes standard with 1 base ?Directly rely on the huge logistics system to pull up 3 bases, and start with 5 bases for small and medium-sized artillery!

There are historical records that an American artillery battalion obeying Van Vleet's order destroyed [-] shells in one day and one night.

But it must be said that Van Fleet's ammunition volume is a derogatory term-the almost astronomical number of shells are used on the back of the knife.

"Bang bang—boom—Boom—!"

The timely artillery support has relieved the enormous pressure Lieutenant Claus is currently facing. At least he is caught in a sea of ​​flames and there is no need to worry too much about the firepower point on the 207 highland to suppress his own hill for the time being.

Just after the shelling ended, a large number of smoke bombs were sent to the 207 Heights by the curved firepower. Looking at the white fog like a cloud, Lieutenant Klaus's mood fluctuated as if he saw the U.S. stock meltdown and ran back to a high position overnight. .

'Sergeant Evan...he really, really touched me. '

Not only did he react very quickly, but he also knew the predicament that Company A was facing, so he helped him out of the predicament in time.

Lieutenant Klaus leaned out half of his body for a glance, then retracted immediately, and then scolded: "The courage of the little devil is too great!"

Leaving aside how the Japanese army appeared on the mountainside and foot of the 132.2 highland, the current Japanese machine gun firepower on the top of the mountain has far exceeded that at the time of the attack. Deployed on the road of Company A's attack.

It's just that Lieutenant Claus was before the attack... even Major Crowley thought that the little devil would arrange light and heavy machine gun grenade grenades on the top of the mountain to build strong fortifications to stop the US military's footsteps.

"The Japanese commander is not a fool, it is impossible to give up the condescending terrain advantage!"

I didn't think about other possibilities at all, just like the Japanese army suddenly appeared behind the entire army's buttocks in the early morning of the landing day to launch an attack.

In fact, the U.S. military has always been like this... After the Iwo Jima Hell, I went to Okinawa and encountered the same problem. At that time, a naval commander had seen the tragedy of Iwo Jima, but he watched the army step into Okinawa without saying a word. Big pit.

What?Summarize previous experience?

To sum up, is it possible that the United States lost that battle?

'if......'

Lieutenant Klaus thought this way - if Company A discovered the deployment of the Japanese army on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain when it attacked, then the little devil's battle plan would be a joke.

偏偏畜牲们成功了......就刚才两3分钟的时间里，摧毁了A连仰仗的2个M2 60毫米迫击炮班与1个M1919重机枪班，除此之外更是造成了五60人的伤亡，这已经是一个步兵排的兵力。

'How on earth did they appear?If it is a detour, how can it be so fast without being discovered halfway? '

'It's definitely not a good time to go around and intersperse, it can only dig a hole to hide yourself with the equipment. '

Thinking of this, Lieutenant Klaus slammed his clenched fist on the trench wall—according to the Japanese army's combat plan, the firepower and troops deployed on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain did not want to evacuate alive. Their goal was not to repel Company A. Instead of attacking, it killed more Ma Run.

'So ruthless, too ruthless! '

Human life is worth less than a gun in the army of little devils. If you are stupid, you can earn money if you exchange one life.

Yes, that's right, that's the reality.After the Pearl Harbor incident, the United States is definitely regarded as a lighthouse country in the world, and it attaches great importance to human life-how long will it take for a complete set of individual equipment assembly line factories to be produced?How many seconds?

Not to mention that it takes a full 17 years for a person to join the army from birth. The materials consumed by the infantry during recruit training alone are beyond the value of a set of individual equipment, let alone some technical arms.

In the officer training Lieutenant Klaus received, he had never seen such a vicious defensive warfare style... Now the little devil has taught him a good lesson, allowing him to transform and grow, that is The price was a bit high - the lives of dozens of soldiers.

Why is it said that hand-to-hand combat is the easiest way to train a commander, precisely because he will see his own wrong decisions and die one after another... Forced by this extremely cruel reality, he must evolve, grow, and learn how to deal with difficulties .

Of course, when the terrible mental pressure sweeps over and swallows everything, a commander may also be crippled.

Obviously, Lieutenant Claus was not one of the latter.

"Everyone, you are not allowed to lean out and use firepower to suppress it—wait for the tanks and follow-up reinforcements to deal with the group of animals!"

This is not because he follows rigid dogma, but because he believes that the best solution now is to wait for the C Company of the second echelon to deal with the little devils who have successfully squatted.

Reduce casualties, occupy the top of the mountain, and when the reinforcements arrive and launch an attack, everyone probes together to attack the sinister and cunning beasts on both sides.

"Edward!"

"Yes, sir!"

Lieutenant Klaus said: "I order you to go to Second Lieutenant Kent now and ask him to separate two tanks and go back and kill the animals on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain!"

"understand!"

It is not difficult to find tanks, but it is more difficult to let the crew members know that someone is looking for them when there is a lack of communication equipment.

Sergeant Edward kept hitting the armor of the tank with the butt of his gun, but there was no movement inside. He could only grit his teeth and boldly climb up to the tank that was used as a fixed turret in the position, and kept beating on the hatch above the conning tower.

Lieutenant Kent, who was staying in the command tower, thought that a little devil had climbed onto his beloved Xie Mantou at first, so he was so frightened that he quickly ordered the machine gun to fire, but later realized that something was wrong.

"If a little devil climbs onto the tank, he should open the hatch of the conning tower immediately, and we haven't communicated with Company A for a long time."

"Sir, shouldn't it be our people who came to beat the tank?" asked the gunner who kept firing short bursts.

"Fuck!"

Second Lieutenant Kent shuddered suddenly: "Stop firing, stop firing... Damn it, don't hit your own people!"

After giving the order, he carefully opened the hatch and stuck out half of his head.

"Shit!"

The one who caught my eye was Sergeant Edward from the headquarters of Company A. He had met many times during this period, and they always played cards together to brag... As for why a second lieutenant from an independent tank battalion would be with a sergeant from an infantry battalion Playing cards together is a coincidence that is not worth mentioning.

"I almost killed one of my own people by stepping on a horse."

Lieutenant Kent was relieved to see that Sergeant Edward was safe and sound.

"Our communication equipment was broken, just now..."

Sergeant Edward made a long story short and told the commander of the tank platoon about the situation.

"No problem, I'll arrange it right away."

After finishing speaking, he got into the control tower, and after ten seconds, Sergeant Edward saw Lieutenant Kent's steamed bun car and another Sherman tank turned around and drove forward for a while, and then stopped firmly in the position. The edge area and posed a tilt angle, and then used its proud depression angle to aim - if it were a T-34, I might have to go straight downhill and step on the brakes.

"position......"

"The shells are loaded——!"

"aim......"

Just as the gunner was about to aim at the firepower of a little devil's light machine gun, he saw a cloud of blood splashing out.

"What's the matter?"

Lieutenant Kent rubbed his eyes. After all, he suspected that he was hallucinating... because just now he saw a little devil with only half of his head exposed in his field of vision being hit by a bullet through the observation port, like There was a large bullet hole in the Japanese army's helmet, which was shaped like half a rugby ball, and the blood and brain moths mixed together and rushed out, forming a rather beautiful arc.

"Switch target!"

Although Second Lieutenant Kent didn't quite know who shot the little devil's head off, but at least he saved a round of HE shells for his beloved little tank... as a battle-tested tank platoon leader , he has a very good habit - to save shells, so as not to lack ammunition to deal with unexpected situations.

"The direction is..."

Second Lieutenant Kent found another target, and before he could tell the exact location, he saw the little devil manipulating the machine gun being hit in the neck by a bullet, and a lot of blood spurted out in the next instant.

Not only did Second Lieutenant Kent not panic after witnessing this situation, but his blood boiled with enthusiasm—no matter who it was, he would be very happy to see the little devil being fucked to death.

At the same time, one thing was confirmed: the bullet did not fly down from the top of the mountain.

However, looking down the mountain through the observation hole, there was no Ma Run in sight.

'Probably the reason for the conning tower. '

After opening the hatch cover, I cautiously poked out half of my head, and used a telescope to look at the impact area and the enemy contact area. Currently, Company C, which is the second echelon, has not stepped onto the stage.

"What the fuck!?"

"Sir, I've been waiting a long time for the order to fire."

Hearing the gunner's dissatisfaction, Second Lieutenant Kent scolded: "You think I don't want you to fire? It's really like hell, those devils with firepower are all dead."

"How did you die?" The correspondent couldn't help asking.

"Killed by a bullet."

"Didn't the second echelon arrive at the starting position after 15 minutes?"

"Don't worry, I found a new target."

As soon as he finished speaking and saw blood splattering out, Second Lieutenant Kent had a misunderstanding—he had a sniper rifle in his command tower, aiming somewhere...the little devil was fatally hit by the bullet parts.

What happened next was nothing more than a repeat of reality. Every time a target was locked, the little devil was killed by bullets one after another before the turret turned over.

"Brothers, I don't think the rear seems to need our help."

After these words were spoken, Second Lieutenant Kent finally found out where the bullet that accurately killed the Japanese army came from.

"Sir, what's going on?"

Lieutenant Kent said helplessly: "There is a sniper on the starting position, and every time he fires, he will hit a target."

"Really?"

"At a distance of 550 meters, the bullet hits a parabolic arc. If the wind is stronger, it will deflect a lot..."

"You can't see it, but I can see it clearly." Second Lieutenant Kent shrugged, "If what I'm telling is all lies, why don't the gunners fire?"

"Who the hell is that!"

"It's too fierce to hear you say that!"

"Maybe you can ask Sergeant Edward."

While talking, Kent said to the communicator: "Tell Major Crowley at the rear everything that happened on the mountain, and ask him to quickly arrange the second echelon to come over, and bring a new communication device to Company A by the way."

"Aye aye, sir!"

Almost arranged the things that should be arranged, Second Lieutenant Kent climbed out of the command tower, quickly jumped into the trench and said to Sergeant Edward: "Can you tell me..."

"Speak up, I can't hear—!"

Edward came over almost with a roar.
