Chapter 373: The Red Beach of Bloody Saipan (11)

※A heavy artillery fire, which was densely packed with rain, was a fire-breaking heavy machine gun, along with a tripod, flew into the sky with the broken bodies of half-day soldiers, and a few smoke bombs fell between the Japanese fortifications and the beach.

Liang Chao slapped his thigh and shouted loudly, then pulled the communication consultant beside him and said, "Come on me quickly."

The communications staff member did not respond at all. Liang Chao tapped the communications staff member's body and then realized that the young communications staff member had been beaten into a hornet's nest with his radio station. Liang Chao suddenly discovered that due to the terrain, the communications staff member had to support half of his body when operating the radio station, which exposed him before he sacrificed his life.

Jinyao's sacrifice and blood had completely numb Liang Chao. He did not feel too sad. He grabbed a sticky bloody rifle... Galand's semi-automatic rifle shouted and followed the attacking Zuoliu toward the extension of the Japanese main fortifications.

During the charge, the Japanese mortar shells fell like hail. Several guards beside Liang Chao fought to protect their superiors with their bodies. After being hit by the inertia of bullets, they could often rush forward a few meters before they could hit the ground. Only when their lives were completely stopped will their impact pace stop. The weapons in their hands will be interrupted.

The bodies of countless Chinese officers and soldiers have become coordinates for advancing forward. Liang Chao's choice is very correct and timely. If it is a few minutes later, the rapid fire coverage of the mortar group sent by the Japanese army will be destroyed by the entire beach.

The Chinese Expeditionary Force, which rushed into the traffic trench, was immediately counterattacked by the Japanese army. In the narrow trench, the Chinese and Japanese armies were bayonets and bayonets were bayonets, and the muzzle started a bloody and tragic fight against the muzzle. The Japanese army, who was at a disadvantage in fire, immediately used human bombs to try to reverse the disadvantage.

The war has reached this point, and the Chinese soldiers have long had their eyes red. Often, the Japanese human bombs rush out with the net, and several Chinese soldiers will swarm up and carry them back to the Japanese, or press them on the ground to die together.

On the new enterprise account, Song Yuhang received the last call from Liang Chao recorded in the communication room, and looked at the hoarse radio operator shouting the call from the beach head troops: "Boss Cat. Boss Cat! Please reply when you receive it!"

Song Yuhang looked at Turner with a frown. Song Yuhang knew that he had already left Turner's command since the beginning of the landing operation. His current identity is the commander of the Lightning Force East Road Landing Cluster.

Thinking of Liang Chao's code name "Boss Cat." That familiar face appeared before him. Song Yuhang wanted to get Yilin's frequency and said: "No matter, the second wave of landings must be launched within a force minute. Now the beachhead position needs to be strengthened. In addition, the beachhead radio station is given more than a few more stations, and I suspect their radio station has been broken."

Fang Lin knew that the 4 amphibious armored vehicles and landing craft he could use could only operate one of the 11th Regiment. What can a battalion do? What should he do when he lost some fierce amphibious armored vehicles and landing craft? What should he do when he was to use to transport troops?

Fang Lin looked at the landing ship of St. Mary at his feet. He remembered that there were four Sherman tanks at the bottom of the bilge, and the ship was carrying two battalions of troops with a large amount of supplies. The most important thing was that St. Mary was an armed landing ship.

Fang Lin led the guard platoon to find the captain of St. Mary, Filey, and asked about the draft of St. Mary and other questions. Finally, Fang Lin asked seriously: "Lt. Col. Filey, I want to know whether St. Mary's as a landing ship can take on the beach mission?"

The first feeling of Fili was that he was dreaming. The second feeling was that the Chinese general in front of him was crazy. Before Fili could speak, Fang Lin waved his hand arbitrarily: "I decided to go to the beach by St. Mary!"

"No! No! You don't have the right to do this. I am the US Navy. This is the US Navy's ship!" Fili's shouting became hoarse in an instant. The reason was very simple. Fang Lin's pistol was stuffed into his mouth. Fili looked at Fang Lin with a serious expression in horror and honestly.

Fang Lin pulled out his pistol and patted Feli on the shoulder and said, "The unrelated personnel got off the boat immediately and started to rush to the beach ten minutes later. My brother was bleeding and sacrificed there. I need to support them immediately. Before that, I promised them that I will appear when they need me! This is a commander and a man's promise to his brother. Please understand me.

Ten minutes later, St. Mary suddenly left the formation and sent a Moss code to the fire support formation with lights: "Our ship rushes to the beach, and our ship rushes to the beach, please provide fire protection!"

The St. Mary, who had driven full horsepower, rushed to Grou Beach like a public official. Felli, who was standing on the bridge, held a cigar in his mouth, and a smile on his lips, because he saw that the Chinese general and his guards who stuffed the gun into his mouth were thrown into the sea by hundreds of Chinese soldiers. No matter what the Chinese soldiers' actions were, he felt particularly comfortable.

Fang Lin was thrusting in the sea water at the 11th Regiment. Looking at a large motorboat that was coming to rescue, Fang Lin smashed the sea water hard.

The St. Mary's beach rush alarmed Turner, and Turner directly used the phone to contact Felix. Felix hesitated and said: "Our ship was blasted under the waterline by a Japanese large-caliber shell at a very close range. It cannot be repaired now. You must grab the beach immediately."

The St. Mary is a large armed tank landing ship with a design of 5,000 tons and an old displacement of 6,200 tons. It only has a small knife millimeter-grade meter, and there are ten cannons with a caliber of more than four millimeters. It also carries a US military field hospital and a large amount of supplies.

For the Northern Fleet Attack Cluster, there are not many canyon-class armed landing ships like St. Mary, only six, each of which is a valuable asset to the US Navy.

Turner was nervously looking to the east of the war zone with a telescope, but the distance was too far. Moreover, the Japanese army on the island lit a large amount of smoke in order to prevent air defense. With the addition of shelling and bombing, the entire area and sea area within reach of Saipan Island were filled with thick smoke.

Turner put down his telescope and worriedly said to Song Yu's channel: "General Song, some questions appeared in your command. A landing ship of the same level of Knight will replace the St. Mary, which is about to be stranded."

Song Yuhang nodded. The landing operation had begun. The generals, as the actual commanders of the four landing troops, were still on the New Enterprise. In Smith's words, it was convenient to command, but almost all the landing troops were encountered great resistance at the beach. The anxious generals could no longer sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, and Smith also decided to follow the second echelon troops to the ashore.

After Song Yuhang returned to the Knight, he looked at Fang Lin who had already changed his clothes and said nothing. He really admired the battalion commander who threw Fang Lin and others into the sea. If that guy was safe and sound after fighting this battle, Song Yuhang decided to give this guy who dared to throw the major general into the sea, and he was a group leader.

The St. Mary's landing ship, like a giant, hit the undersea obstacle buried by the Japanese army onto the beach. The huge inertia exposed the entire ship's capital to the beach. A tank that had sunk in front of the stall was pushed to the beach.

The landing ship was full of scattered weapons and supplies. Although all the crew members had already prepared to rush to the beach, they were still caught off guard against the unexpected strong inertia.

The Japanese defensive forces were shocked by the rush of St. Mary's beach. Their Gud-style millimeter war defense cannons were like mosquitoes harassing elephants for a 5,000-ton heavy landing ship. Howitzers and cannons on St. Mary can take advantage of the lowest hull height to name the Japanese firepower points one by one.

The huge threat generated by St. Mary shocked the Japanese army. What made the Japanese army most helpless was that St. Mary was actually within the smallest firing world of millimeter cannons that were to be fired. In other words, the Japanese heavy artillery could not pose a threat to the giant parked on the beach, unless the Japanese heavy artillery troops could move the launch position backward by US air strikes.

The Japanese army looked helplessly at the artillery fire ejected from St. Mary, and St. Mary, including the captain Felli, was also extremely depressed. The reason was very simple. The rushing to the beach allowed the bow of St. Mary to fall into the sand and stones at the head of Grou. These sands and stones hindered the position plate of the bow of St. Mary, causing four Sherman tanks to be thrown into the cabin.

Captain Philip immediately organized emergency repair personnel to cut the chains on the plate winch, and the things were dead. But the people were alive. The troops of the third battalion of the 11th Regiment of the 3rd Lightweight Division of the Chinese Expeditionary Force on the ship had already begun to use climbing nets to disembark from both sides in the dense Japanese artillery fire.

Looking at the large landing ship that rushed to the beach, which was blocking a firepower point in front of him, Liang Chao shouted, "After occupying the first covered traffic trench in the Japanese army, Liang Chao, who was about to expand his results, was surprised to find that the Japanese army's traffic trench was not connected to each other at all. It seemed that from the beginning, the Japanese army was ready to defend the enemy. They planned to compete with the Allies for every inch of land until death in Saipanwu.

Although only one traffic trench was occupied, the Chinese Expeditionary Force had a so-called foothold on the beach. Under the cover of the artillery fire of the fleet fire support formations, Liang Chao organized troops to repeatedly launch several tentative attacks on the Japanese deep positions using the side fire from Longji.

However, the results of several tentative attacks were not achieved. The powerful and fierce side fire of the Japanese army caused major casualties to the Chinese army exposed to the beachhead or the surface of the position. Although Liang Chao called for artillery fire several times, it felt that the effect was not great. In desperation, Liang Chao had to use smoke bombs to disrupt the Japanese army's sight and then launch an attack. He used his existing forces to silkworms on the Japanese beachhead positions.
