Hardcore ruthless starts in the Pacific

The two of them came to a place where there were no people, and Ivan said straight to the point: "You know about the Whisperer and my responsibilities."

"Yes." Fortuno generously admitted.

"No need."

Ivan stared at this loyal guy, "Harry proved me with his death, and you guys also understood it while getting along."

Foudino was silent for a while after hearing this.

"some things......"

Evan didn't finish his sentence.

"Sir, it's not fair."

Foudino said softly: "It's not fair at all—why do these guys, Anderson and Harry, know everything and still be optimistic that things will never get so bad, and you will never let this happen? Including Including Peter, he has never taken it seriously... When such a thing happens, it will be under our control? They are too naive!"

"Yeah, that's right! It's cruel, very cruel, but they never think they need to take on the worst, it's like they believe you can handle everything, is that true?"

"We're humans, not gods - what if the worst does happen? They're all thinking there's Sergeant Lawrence Evans anyway... What does that mean? Even if the worst happens In front of you, you have to destroy the code, and then they can feel comfortable accusing you... In my eyes, the behavior of Harry, Anderson, and Peter is a sign of cowardice and evasion."

Evan fell into a brief silence.

"That's what they all thought, you're going to do everything to make things better anyway, but when the time comes, I'm sure you won't hesitate because you've followed orders and carried out the mission to the end - you know what the code is about, if Failure means that more soldiers will be killed and injured. We have come all the way, and what you have done is nothing more than saving most people, even if you sacrifice a few people, they will ignore this matter."

"Okay, stop talking."

Ivan interrupted the follow-up, then grabbed his arms, and whispered: "Thank you, Foudino, for thinking about so many things for me, it is enough for you to think about me... I I hope my comrades-in-arms and subordinates are pure fighters."

"Sorry, sir."

Foudino pushed Ivan away, "I can't bear to let you bear everything alone, you are the person I care about most in this world...I hope that the one who does it is me, not you—— The more you care about them, the more traumatized you are, the scars that won't heal for a lifetime... If you have to make me forget all this, all I can say is: 'No! I can't!' "

"Even if you abandon me, and I will be the vanguard tomorrow, as long as I am still alive, I will definitely act according to my will." Foudino is very serious at the moment, "Sergeant Yiwen, if you think I am a Arrogance and self-satisfaction, think so."

Leaving this sentence, he turned and left.

Looking at the back that gradually disappeared from his field of vision, Ivan sighed slowly.

The deaths of Harry and Anderson shattered the iron chains that bound the demons in his heart, and what Foudino said today shattered several more.

'I'm such a jerk. '

When Foudino hoped that he would do it, Ivan felt a little rejoiced...even a little happy.

Reincarnated people are also human beings. People who have not given up their feelings, people who bear heavy responsibilities, why don't they need to be understood and recognized, why don't they need other people to help them take responsibility together?

PS:

I forgot to indicate how many cigarettes are in a pack of cigarettes on the last page, unfortunately the inter-posts are closed, otherwise I could have cheated out a lot of inter-posts (sigh).

Usually the cigarettes distributed to front-line soldiers come from C/K rations. If you have watched the video of Xiaopozhan’s tasting and smoking, you should find that each ration contains 4 cigarettes to form a pack.

According to the standard of three meals a day, each soldier will be allocated 12 Camel brand/Hao Cai brand cigarettes every day, which is obviously not enough to smoke, so there will be people from the tobacco company near the military supply to sell tobacco, which is strong and tastes good and the price is cheap , Even with the same brand and outer packaging, the people in the United States smoke far less than those supplied to soldiers. This is the so-called special supply, and it will be closer to the front line than Coca-Cola.

46. ​​Wait for the kid to pile up more ammunition and watch the gorgeous fireworks (4600)

At 6 a.m. on June 23, Ivan, Peter, Foudino, and Yaz were all ready to go.

He carried as many things as he carried in the early hours of yesterday, and today he carried as many things as he wanted. The difference was that Ivan replaced the Chicago typewriter that had been fired until it overheated, which might cause problems in the next battle.

"Bang bang bang-!"

Two hours ago, when the sky was still dark, the U.S. military carried out high-intensity fire coverage on the highlands occupied by the Japanese army on the east side of Mount Tapocho, namely the 133 and 209 highlands.

The battleships on the navy's side are also constantly firing and bombarding the entire northern side of Mount Tapocho to the central area. The bombardment will continue until noon. The main reason is that the Japanese army will put the reserve team there, and the aircraft carrier will only send a small number of carrier-based aircraft. Provide air support.

On the starting position, Ivan saw the friendly troops on the 132.2 Heights cheering and watching the 133 Heights fall into a sea of ​​flames - the longest distance between the two mountains was about 2.5 kilometers, and the shortest distance was 1.2 kilometers.Yiwen couldn't understand how the 3rd Battalion Ma Run was killed by Japanese snipers during the two days when the army's attack was frustrated.The sniper distance of a normal sniper is only 500 meters, and an exaggerated 600 meters. Ma Run likes a sniper distance of about 800 meters.

'Maybe the little devil touched the foot of the mountain in the dark? '

While thinking about it, Ivan put his eyes on a place that he thought was very useful - there was a winding but fairly spacious canyon area between the east and west sides of Mount Tapocho, and most of it was surrounded by some highlands of various types. The connected hills and small veins are like mounds compared with the big brother, but they are not considered areas that mechanized troops cannot cross. The most important thing is that they lead directly to the center of Mount Tapocho.

Tanks can drive in, but they don't have the ability to dash forward like the plains, and the higher ups don't seem to have the intention of using this road in it.

Ivan felt that if he was bold enough, he would directly arrange a battalion of infantry and a company of tanks to go straight into the central area, and cooperate with the 2nd Battalion to launch an attack from the west. The only way for the devils to retreat is to continue to the east, and that place is a cliff, which is controlled by the 4th Marine Division below.

I heard that Ma Run of the 4th Division was looking forward to the Japanese jumping off the cliff.

If it is caught by surprise, the battle can be over today, and there is even a small chance of seeing the [Long Live Cliff Scene].

It's a pity that the US military's tactics are always full of "steady and steady", "simultaneous progress", and "flat push all the way".

"Check the equipment and ammunition, as well as your personal physical condition. When you go up, you can only pull the inside of your pants."

The vanguard is a unit with a very high casualty rate, just like the scouts in many armies, but unlike the professional training of scouts in various countries, the vanguard of the United States simply picks out some veterans from the company and sends them up.

Not everyone is willing to do this kind of thing, but soldiers must obey orders-the most basic training in the new barracks training is to prevent soldiers from resisting their superiors, and even the slightest objection is not allowed to appear. Otherwise, the soldier is an unqualified soldier.

At least for the current period, the American military will take punitive measures against unqualified soldiers.

When you thought you performed poorly and were judged as disqualified, you could return to your hometown. When you packed up your things and carried your buckets and went back to your hometown happily, you were taken away by a group of strong men because you were labeled as a conscientious objector. What greeted you was cold The court may sentence a few months in prison, or a year or two in prison.

If there is a relationship and background, then stepping on a horse can still be labeled as a [military objector]?

It was not until 1972 that the United States abolished the compulsory conscription strategy, but offered some very good conditions to attract young people. At that time, the soldiers recruited declared that "volunteers" actually had nothing to do with "volunteering" and were purely for money Contract soldiers who handle affairs—that's why there is a classic Internet saying "a few hundred dollars a month, what's your life?".

Amidst the sound of gunfire, Captain Klaus, the commander of Company A, who was the vanguard of the 3rd Battalion, came to Group G, gave everyone a cigarette, and asked loudly, "Do you need this?"

It was a rough bag, and I didn't even have to think about what was in it.

Any leading soldier must keep life and death out of the door, but not every selected leading soldier can do this with his own will, so he needs to take stimulants to maintain that almost fanatical spirit.

"No."

Evan shook his head.

Addiction is one thing, but the most important thing is that it is easy to get overwhelmed and make mistakes.

"Don't touch it if you can." Ivan lit a cigarette and said, "Give it to those who need it."

"Where's the wine?"

"Neither."

"Okay, then I can help here too." Captain Klaus glanced at everyone's faces, and then strode away from the forefront of the starting position.

At exactly 8 o'clock in the morning, the ground artillery fire ceased.

"Walk--!"

Ivan, who can do whatever camouflage he can, rushed out of the launch position immediately, and appeared at the forefront of the entire team in a trotting manner.

The formation in the area of ​​contact with the enemy has been determined in advance - Ivan is the first to go, about three or four meters behind the right is Foudino, three or four meters behind the left is Peter, and Yaz can only obey orders Stay at the end of the line.

Foudino, the force, wanted to be the first one, but was rejected by Ivan's words, and the reason made him speechless.

"Do you know that you can detect the enemy's situation in the first place? Can you respond in the first time? Can you arrange operations in the first time?"

The starting position is about 133 meters away from the west side of the 700 highland. At this moment, the bombing is still full of gunpowder. When the pioneers set off, they will also use 3 to 4 rounds of smoke bombs, which is enough to block the little devils who returned to their combat positions from the period of hiding. line of sight.

The smoke bomb will disappear within 10 minutes at most. If the designated location is not reached within this period of time, the vanguard will inevitably be discovered.

Ivan had to lead the team to the area as quickly as possible and hide. According to the battalion staff's prediction, the vanguard would arrive at the designated location around 8:15, and the full-scale attack would start at 9:[-].

The 45 minutes during the period are reserved for the sharp soldiers to detect the firepower of the little devils, and then use the communication equipment they carry to call 81mm mortars or 105 howitzers to destroy them.

"Hurry up!"

At 8:12, the four members of Group G arrived at the foot of the mountain. Ivan even climbed up the mountainside to a bomb crater, and then picked up the binoculars to observe the top of the mountain.

At this moment, the smoke bomb has gradually dissipated. Although there are still explosions coming from the center of Mount Tabocho, the shouts of the Japanese soldiers on the top of the mountain can still be heard clearly—as if the sound was used as a whip for whipping Soldier.

The ridge line of the 133 highland is not on the same line as the 132.2 highland. Its main body is southeast, like the gateway to the Mount Tapocho area. If it is presented on the map according to the existing front, the 133 highland is appropriate. protrusion.

Although the slope of the mountain is gentle, there are six or seven not-so-large concave areas in the mountainside area, as if they have been bitten.

Since Yiwen and others were advancing from west to east, Ma Run's attack direction belonged to the flank of the 133 highland, so he could spy on the corner of the 209 highland.

"There are enemies on the mountainside and the top of the mountain. The mountainside area can lead to the 209 highland. Not only can you escape there, but you can also use it for reinforcements... The place sandwiched between the two mountains can still be regarded as the army's medium and large artillery. A nice backslope. '

'No wonder I couldn't fight for two days. '

Ivan was groping while trying to estimate the coordinates—the location was the angle between the two mountains. Ma Run’s artillery was placed behind the attack road, and it couldn’t completely cover that area, but the navy’s naval guns could go directly over the 132.2 highland on the west side. Smash it in.

All in all, regardless of whether there are little devils or not, let's blow up the horse first.

Just as he was about to remind Yazi with tactical sign language, the Japanese army suddenly spoke hurriedly from the mountainside.

"Push the **** over here, the Yankee chariot is coming up!"

"Asshole, haven't you eaten yet? Hurry up!"

"Ammunition, quickly bring the ammunition box!"

Ivan can understand most of the Japanese, but only the first sentence is worth paying attention to.

'The chariot is coming up? '

'The word you don't understand is anti-tank gun? '

'Wait, wait. '

Ivan has no experience as a vanguard, and everything is just anecdotal evidence—in the last reincarnation and this reincarnation, when the vanguard actually launched the general offensive, it seemed that the vanguard did not call for an artillery attack before the main force launched the general offensive.

Maybe they didn't have the guts like Ivan to directly touch the enemy's nose, maybe they didn't find the enemy's firepower, or maybe they were all fishing.

When thinking this way, Yiwen suddenly realized.

'How do you feel, mostly fishing! '

The casualty rate of vanguards is high, mainly because they are discovered by the enemy—so most vanguards are very smart, and they will definitely give priority to hiding themselves from being discovered, so they don’t contact the rear for even a single shot before the start of the general attack!

The little devil is not stupid at all. When the US artillery preparations were completed, they were bombarded by artillery fire, and the accuracy was far higher than the previous intensive bombardment. It was clear that there were artillery observers or sharp soldiers near the position.

'Mom, I almost exposed myself. '

Ivan exhaled cautiously, and then continued to observe the mountainside, the top of the mountain, and a small part of the 209 highland that he could see.

It doesn't matter if you don't watch it, you will be surprised everywhere you look.

Before the U.S. military launched an attack on Saipan, Mount Tapocho was covered by green plants. There were trees integrated with the mountain everywhere, and the weeds growing on the ground were as tall as half a person. This highland was attacked by heavy artillery fire from the U.S. military, and there are still many green areas violated and destroyed.

They are very good camouflage. If Ivan hadn't gotten so close, and the little devil had pushed the cannon out of nowhere, it would be hard to find that at least six Type 6 infantry cannons were aimed at Ma Run's attacking path.

Instead of bombarding the foot of the 133 highland, it was about 133 meters to 100 meters west of the 400 highland.

It is true that the U.S. military will launch a battle formation in this area, but the overall movement is still walking forward, and it is almost 200 meters before starting to turn over one bomb crater after another to keep up with the pace of the tanks.

If the six 6-type infantry guns of the little devil are really happy, this 92-meter offensive road will become a road to death.

'The location is really sinister and vicious, and it's even a disguise! ? '

The Type 92 infantry gun is already small enough. Once the two wheels are removed, it is not as tall as a heavy machine gun. The use of natural terrain and green camouflage can well hide this gun, so whether it is in the Pacific region or in China On the ground, ammunition that can often destroy a whole base is difficult to find where the gun is staying.

'The anti-tank guns arranged on the flanks, and the 209 infantry guns placed on the mountainside of the 92 highland. '

Ivan took out the tactical map and outlined the specific location on it, and later asked Yaz to notify Charlie in the rear as quickly as possible, and let him communicate with the liaison officers of various artillery units.

The tricky position can only rely on the navy, carrier-based aircraft, and 81mm mortars. After all, Aslit Airport is still unable to take off and land even if it is an F4U "pirate" fighter jet. According to the information collected, it will take June at the earliest. It will be finished on the 6th.

It may be unbelievable to say it, but the culprit for this is the US military—according to incomplete statistics, the Aslit Airport in the south of Saipan was hit by at least [-] shells.

The airport originally built by the Japanese army could barely take off and land even a bomber like the B-25.

The fact is that after the occupation you can see everything inside Aslit Airport that has nothing to do with the airport.

'Don't worry, there is still half an hour to take a closer look at things that are difficult to transfer like heavy machine guns. '

Ivan put away the tactical map, moved forward slowly, poked his head out carefully, and looked at the top of Height 133 with a telescope—it was obvious that there were sandbags piled up, and only one shooting port was exposed under the staggered arrangement.

To be honest, such things can be solved with a bang when a large army launches an attack. There are no semi-permanent fortifications, and no bunkers or bunkers have been built, so it is not a big threat to the frontal attack of the US military.

After retracting, he naturally didn't forget to mark the firepower point. As soon as he drew small circles on the map with a pen, the edge of the crater where he was lying on his stomach was hit by bullets.

"Tom tom tom...!"

At this moment, Ivan's heart was in his throat.

Damn, found out?

Is it possible that there are

An observation post specially aimed at the vanguard! ?
