Three hundred and seventieth chapters bloody Saipan's shock (1)
"In the evening of Xin, the Ming army's attack on the sea gradually began to turn into defense. In addition to the Chinese Second Light Equipment Division and the US 27th Infantry Division occupied the beachhead position, the two Marine Division and the Fourth Marine Division, the two Marine Division, which had been baptized by the Guadalam War, were unexpectedly destroyed. All the naval generals, including Nimitz, felt very dull. The difficult breakthrough of the 27th Infantry Division was also completely relied on the Chinese Expeditionary Force to launch an attack on the depth of the Japanese beachhead position. After discussion, the Mingmu Regiment and the Yiteng Regiment decided to retreat uniformly to ensure the integrity of the position defense line.
The highest point of the middle division line of Gelu Beach is still in the hands of the Japanese army. If the "Dragon Ridge" cannot be taken down for a day, the two divisions on Gelu Beach will never be able to truly cooperate and cooperate. Liang Chao contacted Smith who had logged in. They decided to launch a surprise attack tonight, pull out the Japanese firepower points on the "Dragon Ridge" and remove the threat of side firepower to the frontal positions.
Who does the night belong to? Japanese? Chinese? Anyway, it is not American. Smith has a big question mark on launching a surprise attack at night. He has no suitable candidate to perform this work that should have been done by the commando. The US Army's offensive method should be to bomb and add cannons. Even if it is an insignificant cockroach, he must know that the anger of the United States of America is unstoppable to anyone.
Although Smith couldn't find the person he thought was the most suitable, he carefully selected thirty non-commissioned officers with combat experience to participate in the operation, flamethrowers, burning grenades, explosives, and white phosphorus grenades. Like the Chinese commando, the US military also brought everything they thought they needed.
The opportunity for war is always left to those who are prepared. The Allies are preparing, and the Japanese army is also sharpening their swords. Both sides are trying their best to intercept and crack the other party's telegrams, and even conducting meticulous analysis through a call from the landing troops, hoping to find the traces of the sister-in-law who can defeat the enemy.
At 2 a.m. on the 5th of the 4th month, Liang Chao carefully contacted and prepared the killer copper before he could implement it.
The Japanese Akimu United and Ichifumi United launched a large-scale counterattack on the north and east of Gelu Beach with the support of the 80th Mixed Brigade.
As the planner of this counterattack, Eira Kobaku was initiated by Yamamoto Ioroku's telegram. In the north and east of the narrow Kalu Beach, the Japanese army invested two brigades respectively. The savage Type 95 medium-sized chariots of the Asakian Chariot Regiment also joined the attack sequence.
As an army general, he had to obey the command of the navy. Although Xiao Juyingliang was reluctant, he knew that without the support and restraint of the navy, Saipan's body would have been everywhere at this moment, and they were trapped in the isolated island, so they could only wait for the jade to break.
Since the Allies' main combat forces are guarding against the sudden attacks of the joint fleet, there is naturally not much firepower that can support the beach grabbing operation, which directly leads to the increased difficulty of landing operations.
The Allies were not prepared enough, and their weaknesses in response and slow response were undoubtedly exposed. Yamamoto Iroku stood on the bridge of the Yamato. He looked up at the dark sea and recalled the scene when the fleet set off when the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. Now it was not only him, but even the entire Japanese Empire needed miracles. The industrial beast of the United States had already exposed its sharp teeth.
Yamamoto Izuru fought a cold war for no reason. He seemed to smell the smell of blood. This war was too forced. Although the Japanese Navy and Air Force continued to win, the army also tried its best to serve the emperor with Wang Xiaosai Chengren, but the front line continued to move back. Yamamoto Izuru clearly understood that even if he won the Battle of Saipan, severely damaged the US Pacific Fleet and wiped out its landing troops, this could only delay. I believe that the Americans will make a comeback soon. What made him even more afraid and worried was that the Chinese people actually joined in?
Moreover, this Chinese Expeditionary Force, which was invincible in Myanmar and India, is not as vulnerable as the army said. The beachhead position on Gelu Beach was the first to be broken through is the best example. The Chinese Expeditionary Force is not a good idea!
Under the bleak eyes, there was constant phosphorescence on the sea. The fierce battle of a day seemed to have caused both the offense and defense to exhaust the last bit of strength, but often the surface was calm, but storms were brewing below. The brave Japanese team members put their bodies to the ground as much as possible."
He crawled slowly on the sand and stones, fearing that something would make a sound that would disturb the Chinese people on the other side of the beach.
Captain Omura Ichiro, as the captain of the Japanese infantry brigade raiding east of Gelu Beach, was originally confident about this raid because a whole daytime tug-of-war had already made the entire beach full of corpses. The corpses of the enemy and our army were undoubtedly the best cover. The only thing that made Omura Ichiro worried was his own troops. There were too many new recruits. Although they did not participate in today's daytime battle, the fierce battle and the burnt wounded all over the body still scared several cowards to tears.
If these scum really make trouble, Ichiro Omura would not mind dealing with the shame of these army with wartime disposal.
The fetus crawled. Omurazawaro was extremely surprised to find that several people were actually crawling towards the old direction?
Suddenly, the furious Ichiro Omura, shouted in a very low voice. The extremely low voice in front of the silent beach was so loud that it scared Ichiro Omura himself. Omurazawa's eyes were red before the war began, and the other party ignored the stones he threw away.
The sanity of the sanity, Ichiro Omura, cursed and blurted out. The Chinese officers and soldiers who were originally lying in the trenches waiting for the commando to start and support were also stunned for a moment. They actually heard Japanese cursing in front of their positions?
Liang Chao immediately made a decision to use a mortar to fire flares, bulge, bulge! As two pale flares took off, Ichiro Omura stared at the submachine gun pointing at him in amazement.
At close range, the Japanese surprise attack troops had an unexpected encounter with the commando of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. His assault rifle was recommended by Song Yuhang to give priority to the equipment of the Expeditionary Force. However, since its caliber ammunition is not on the US military's logistics ammunition support list and its output is limited, it is only equipped with special combat brigades, military police and reconnaissance forces directly under each division.
Amid its unique slightly dull and fast shooting sound, Ichiro Omura's chest was suddenly beaten into a hornet's nest. The commander's death made the panicked Japanese army not know what to do for a moment? Some Japanese soldiers looked at the Chinese commando on their flanks, while others were climbing up straight to attack the beach positions. Some were quietly hindering their legs.
The failure of the Japanese surprise attack made Saito Yoshiji, who was on the front line, very annoyed. When the Japanese army was in chaos in the eastern part of Gelu Beach, the surprise attack troops in the northern part of the Japanese army also encountered the US commando. The only difference was that the US commando climbed into the Japanese sequence without any defense and almost crossed the Japanese army.
The discovered US commando was beaten by the Japanese army and ran away in a head and almost wiped out the entire army. Then the Japanese army launched a fierce attack on the beachhead occupied by the US 24th Infantry Division and kicked it on the iron plate.
The two-way attacks of the Japanese army can be said to be blocked by the two routes. At the same time, the coordinated surprise attack between the Chinese Expeditionary Force and the US military was also destroyed. The "Dragon Ridge" is still in the hands of the Japanese. It is still okay now. If the vision is good during the day, the huge threat of the "Dragon Ridge" will undoubtedly be revealed.
But at this time, Liang Chao and Smith had no time to take care of the "Dragon Ridge", because the Japanese attack was launched behind the edge of the woods, and a distance of less than 100 meters allowed the Japanese army to launch a counterattack directly on the beach.
Under the cover of sixty mortar shells falling like hail and grenade launchers fired by grenade launchers, the Japanese soldiers shouted like a tide. They rushed towards the beachhead positions in a black mass, and on both sides of the Japanese army, the sound of tank motors was remembered.
The fox pits of Chinese soldiers have no protective effect on the close support of dense mortars and grenade launchers. In order to maintain the front line, once a fox pit is hit by the Japanese army, the Chinese soldiers who are candidates will immediately jump into the pit and continue to maintain firepower until they are hit.
The fox pits that were hit were covered with blood and broken arms, internal organs and damaged weapons. The cruel battle made the wounded unable to be rescued at all. They could only watch as they shed the last drop of blood.
In front of the hot firepower net of the Chinese army, Japanese soldiers fell to the ground like harvesting wheat, but the subsequent Japanese troops continued to charge blindly, as if a fanatical indignation was stimulating their beastly nature to be fully released.
While the Japanese army shouted "onboard", the Japanese soldiers were even more yelling to kill all the Chinese pigs!
While the Chinese soldiers were shooting fiercely, they were also shouting, killing all the hunched slaves! When a bunch of bullets carrying national hatred beat the Japanese devils a few meters away, they flew across the flesh and blood and howled ghosts and wolves, the Chinese soldiers experienced an unprecedented feeling of pleasure.
When the Japanese Type 95 chariot appeared from both wings, Chinese soldiers had long used Kabazu bazooka to carry out direct aiming shooting. The rocket instantly turned the so-called medium-sized chariot into a large bonfire. However, the Chinese soldiers who fired Kabazu were also exposed because of the tail spray and flash of the rocket launch, and were blown away by several Japanese heavy grenades.
However, Liang Chao was not worried about the Japanese tanks at all. He had enough anti-tank guns and rocket launchers on hand, and there were also four Sherman tanks unloaded from the St. Mary. They were also medium tanks for the Japanese Type 95. When they were against the Japanese medium tanks, they could have an absolute advantage in both armor and gun caliber.
Shortly after the attack began, Saito Yoshiji discovered that the white soldiers' death seemed to be ineffective in the face of the intensive firepower of the Allies, so he immediately requested heavy artillery support. At the same time, Liang Chao and Smith both requested firepower support of the naval guns respectively.
