Emergency Doctor Mercenary Road

   Chapter 538 The waves are chasing the beach

  On the afternoon of June 13, in the center of the Pacific Ocean, near the Mariana Islands.

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

   There are more than 470 ships on the sea off Saipan.

   Countless battleships, cruisers, and destroyers sprayed artillery fire on Saipan, and fighter planes flew through the air, heading straight to Saipan for carpet bombing.

   For a time, thousands of cannons fired on the blue sea, rushing to the sea.

   On the deck of the landing mothership, the officers and soldiers of the 2nd Battalion, 2nd Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, covered their ears, leaning on the railing to watch the artillery show.

"I heard that the Allies landed in Normandy two days ago. I dare say that the momentum is not as big as this action!" Stern grew a beard and shouted at the sound of the cannons, looking like he had never seen the world before. .

   "Tsk tsk, I've seen this kind of big scene at most once or twice in my life, it's amazing!" Quat held the telescope that Lu Fei lent him to watch the live broadcast of the artillery fire, and kept pointing at Saipan.

   "After a few days of bombardment like this, we will probably collect a corpse when we go to the island." Tassi, who was handsome, picked his nose and said.

   "You guys who haven't seen the world, don't even take a look at Major Jack."

   In the middle of the deck, Lu Fei was paralyzed on a reclining chair, wearing sunglasses and earplugs, as if he had fallen asleep.

   It's just that from time to time he picked up the glass bottle of Coke on the deck and took a sip, proving that he was still awake.

"It's called bombarding mice. It looks fierce, but it's not very targeted. If you think about going to the island for a vacation, I think everyone will have "surprises". By the way, Stern, you need to bring a few more Underpants." Lu Fei seemed to have heard everyone's discussion and said lazily.

   "Sir, stop talking about Betio's embarrassment. Haven't you been afraid in your first war?"

   "I used to be a military doctor, and of course I am now. No doctor is afraid of blood. My first war was in Guadalcanal, and I accidentally killed thousands of devils. Do you think I am afraid?"

   "You are synonymous with awesomeness. As for your knife, I haven't seen you wipe it recently."

   "My brother-in-law took it away, saying it was for reporters to take pictures, but he actually took it for himself to brag."

   "That can't be done. In the devil's territory, without the image of you holding a long knife, the brothers can't get excited." Constantine said sincerely.

   "Yeah, now the brothers are most keen to get a little devil's samurai sword, which can follow you when you move forward with the sword, tsk tsk, that picture." Tassi echoed.

   "Come on, these soldiers just want to be in the headlines of the newspaper, and they don't care about their appearance. Can I be so photogenic."

   "Let's go, let's go, we have to shoot for several days, what kind of high tide can't be seen, go to sleep and take a lunch break."

   "Connor, since your injury has healed, everything inside and out is the next three ways." Lu Fei raised his head and looked at him from the space between his sunglasses and his eyes.

   "Well, it's not been a long time in the sea, the husband of Jikuang can't help but speak with a little color."

   "Come on, I heard that you hooked up with a beautiful nurse in Hawaii. The old tree is sprouting."

   "What adjective is this? Where am I getting old? Sprouting is sick!"

   "How is it? Please feel good physically and mentally. You were injured and couldn't move much. This pose is intriguing."

   "Go away! You're so irritable at a young age, go in and rest, you'll have to get real in two days, and cherish the days when you can eat and sleep well."

   "I don't care, I have delicious food wherever I go, and I fall asleep as soon as I fall asleep. It's you, think about how to reduce the casualties of your brothers."

   "Isn't it because of your idea, I don't panic."

   Two days later.

   On June 15, 1944, the U.S. 2nd Marine Division and 4th Marine Division prepared to land on the west coast of Saipan.

   In the early morning, the landing formation arrived in the waters of Saipan and began to transfer.

The   2 Battalion, as one of the eight battalions that landed in the first wave, and the troops divided into 600 tracked landing vehicles and amphibious tanks and began to assault the landing.

   "Jack, we're going to the island later. Yesterday you predicted that the Japanese resistance would be fierce. Are you serious?" Connor said loudly against the sea breeze.

   "Bah, the sea water here is salty and bitter. Of course, I never joke about wars." Lu Fei just opened his mouth, and a mouthful of sea water was splashed into his mouth.

   "Why are we so unlucky! Betio has been damaged for the most part, and he has only just gotten used to it after training for more than half a year, and he has to fight with the devils on the beach. I'm really fed up."

   "Have the measures I told you been implemented?"

   "Don't you just get up and wait for support from naval guns and planes? Wouldn't it be too unaggressive?"

"Save your life first! Look at the terrain on the island. As soon as we landed, we were under the eyes of the Japanese army. There were hills behind the beach. If you were Japanese, would you arrange some cannons and machine guns on the mountain and give us a peach blossom? Dodo open?"

   "That's true, but you can't wait to die."

   "Anyway, everyone calls me a lunatic, and I'm shameless. If I'm in a hurry, I call my brother-in-law directly, and call the battleship to shoot directly."

   "Thank you for your hard work. In other words, are you really crazy? Go ashore and take care of yourself."

   "There is no such beauty as Aimepa on the island, why can't I control myself? Don't worry, I won't charge with bullets."

  The landing beachhead is on a beach with a width of about 64 kilometers in front of Chalan Kano in the southwest of Saipan. Although affected by the tide, it was more than ten minutes later than the scheduled landing time. The US military still maintained good order.

The warships in charge of fire support dropped anchor only 1,000 meters from the shore and carried out heavy artillery fire on the Japanese positions; more than 70 aircraft in the air carried out aviation fire suppression on the Japanese fortifications; gunboats arranged in the landing craft team carried out fire support with 40 mm artillery; The amphibious tanks were spaced in the crawler landing convoy to clear the obstacles of the Japanese army and cover the crawler landing vehicles ashore.

  Under the cover of these firepower, the first group of troops arrived at 8:44. The Japanese artillery fire was still very fierce.

   Nevertheless, within twenty minutes, 8,000 marines came ashore.

   "Boom, boom, da da, da da!"

  Explosions and machine guns resounded across the beach!

   "Disperse, disperse all, take the company as a unit, find cover, dig cover." Connor and Lu Fei shouted and waved desperately, conveying the order.

  The soldiers of the second battalion had been informed in advance of the hardships they might encounter and dispersed on the beach in an orderly manner.

   Bullets whizzed past constantly in the air, and shrapnel scattered. Although the evacuation and hiding were fast, many soldiers were shot and fell down. The scene was very bloody.

"There are devil's artillery and machine gun positions on the rock wall on the right. Constantine, send a machine gun crew with me!" Lu Fei lay on the beach, and quickly sensed the firepower of the Japanese army through his sensitive senses, and called out loudly. .

   Soon a group of heavy machine guns ran to Lu Fei's side.

   "See that smoking amphibious tank in front of our left?"

   "I see, sir."

   "The three of you ran behind the tank and set up a machine gun. All the bullets were replaced with tracer rounds. Wait for me to come."

  The machine gun crew went under the hail of bullets, and Lu Fei asked Forbes, who was carrying a walkie-talkie, to follow him.

   "Rush! Reunite after the tank!" Lu Fei gave an order and rushed out abruptly.

   There was no one standing on this section of the beach. Lu Fei and Forbes were running wildly on the beach, bullets rustling at their feet from time to time, and the scene was extremely dangerous.

After more than ten seconds, the two rushed to the right side of the smoking amphibious tank and hid.

   "Forbes, call the channel I gave you, get through and tell me."

   "Okay, sir, I'll contact you right away."

   "Machine gunner, look in the direction of my finger, do you see the place on the rock wall that keeps shooting and spewing tail flames?" Lu Fei and the gunner stuck their heads out, he pointed diagonally upwards and said loudly.

   "I see, sir! But we are at the side of the Japanese firepower point, and the distance is more than one kilometer by visual inspection. Even if we shoot, it will not be lethal."

   "Whoever told you to rely on machine guns will do. You are just a guide, using tracer bullets to point out the location of firepower for naval guns."

   "Oh, I see, sir, when are we going to shoot." The machine gunner suddenly realized and shouted.

   "Wait, wait for my order."

  Forbes kept trying to call, and the tank was clinking bullets from time to time.

   Soon Forbes gave Lu Fei the talker.

   "Brother-in-law? I'm Jack."

   "Cough, this is a public channel, this soldier made a mistake, please keep the channel clean."

   "Don't hang up, I'm about to be beaten to death by the devil on the beach, you still come with me!"

   "Cough, tell me, do you need any help with me?"

"Guizi has artillery and machine gun positions on the rock wall. They are killing my soldiers every minute, and I'm almost out of danger. Find a battleship or something, tell them, I will use tracer bullets to shoot Guizi's firepower, let me They fired at where the tracers landed."

   "Understood, after three minutes you let your subordinates shoot, and cannons will follow."

   "Okay, brother-in-law, you are the best, the secretary has a long skirt."

   "Ahem, keep the channel clean, hang up."

   "You have to pay attention to your throat. I'm a doctor. I'll show you when I'm free."

   "Go away! Just don't bother me."

  Lu Fei hung up the phone triumphantly, and gave a thumbs up to Connor who was anxious in the distance.

   Battalion Commander Connor was overjoyed and immediately returned the OK gesture.

  Three minutes later, Lu Fei commanded the machine gun team to start shooting!

   "Da da da, da da da!"

The   M1919A6 heavy machine gun fired, and the bullets flew red to the rock wall.

"Go down 3 meters, that's wrong, the range of motion is too big, and it's not pulling a woman's skirt! It's all down more than ten meters, and then go up! By the way, keep it, this is the position, the sub-shooter keeps feeding, don't stop !" Lu Fei pouted his **** and stuck his head out slightly, observed the impact point with binoculars, and shouted and directed.

   "Boom!" A shell came from the sea and exploded a dozen meters above the devil's fire point.

   "The artillery brothers opened fire, keep the firing position and keep shooting!" Lu Fei shouted loudly at the machine gunner.

   "Boom, Boom, Boom!" The cannonballs began to sound continuously, and soon Lu Fei couldn't hear what he shouted, and dozens of huge cannonballs kept hitting the rock wall.

   "Boom, huh!" There was a sudden loud noise, and the devil's firepower made a huge explosion.

  The fire point on the Guizi rock wall finally hit, and the ammunition exploded.

   "Yeah! The lateral threat is finally lifted, brothers, get up and leave the beach." Not far away, Major Connor half got up excitedly, waving his arms and shouting.

   The scar on his forehead turned red with excitement, like the early sun that was about to burst out.

  A large number of marines stood up one after another on the beach and staggered toward the foot of the mountain.

  The soldiers of the 2nd Battalion quickly left the beach, arrived at the foot of the mountain, and found cover.

   Soon, Lu Fei took Forbes to find Connor in the crater, and said loudly in his ear: "The devil has a lot of troops on the top of the mountain, what is the mission above?"

   "Colonel Shope has sent an order to consolidate the position. Don't let the devils drive us into the sea. Planes and cannons are bombarding the devils' positions on the hills."
