Imperial Overlord
: One hundred and seventy-eight **** beachhead
"That's definitely not a Japanese tank!" the American tank commander complained as he retreated.
His troops had never seen such a terrible tank, those Japanese tanks painted in camouflage, absolutely crushed the performance of the American M3lee tanks.
What is even more frightening is that these Japanese tanks are rolling up at a high speed, causing more damage to the American tank forces.
The Japanese tanks rammed through the ground, ignoring the American tanks, and they even broke through a line of defense of the U.S. Marine Corps, nearly driving the American troops back to where they had been hours earlier.
"Assault! Assault!" Waving command knives, the commanders of the Japanese infantry shouted loudly, urging their soldiers to attack.
The Japanese army invested a lot of troops in the morning of this day, and there were almost 3,000 counterattacks.
Hundreds of Japanese soldiers, under the cover of machine guns and tanks, desperately approached the American defense line, and destroyed the defense system of American soldiers one by one.
The trenches held by dozens of American soldiers may be occupied by the Japanese within a few minutes. These Japanese soldiers should not be captured. They are cruel and tyrannical, and they are as frightening as beasts.
Likewise, American soldiers are playing to their advantage as much as possible, at least near the beach, where they invest twice as many troops as Japanese soldiers.
"General Thompson! I need reinforcements! Three infantry companies of my Marine Corps have been routed by the Japanese! The loss is as much as one battalion..." On the phone, the commander of the U.S. Marine Corps pleaded painfully.
If there is a choice, as the commander of the navy, he will not go to the army to ask for reinforcements in a low voice.
But now his position is crumbling, and only the US 1st Army can save this landing operation.
Reinforcements came quickly, and because of the truck's mobility advantage, the American troops moved very fast near the beach.
The soldiers of the two infantry companies plunged into the field, and then they were overwhelmed by the Japanese tanks without holding on for an hour.
Those leopard tanks are simply devils on the battlefield. Japanese soldiers are not afraid of death to protect these leopard tanks, so that these tanks from Germany can play the role of firepower as much as possible.
This way of playing is completely opposite to the German tactic of using tanks to cover infantry. The Japanese army used infantry as much as possible to protect their tanks from close-range violations by American infantry.
Although the loss of infantry will be very high, a good tank can function as much as possible without threat on the battlefield, so the US military has no way to deal with these Japanese tanks for a while.
"Add another infantry battalion! No matter what, we must stop the advance of the Japanese army!" On the phone, Major General Thompson firmly ordered his men.
Another infantry battalion was thrown into the battle, and countless American soldiers had to face the mighty Japanese tanks.
However, the United States is not passively filling the battlefield with human lives, and they are also preparing their own counterattack tactics.
First, on the two flanks, American soldiers launched a counterattack to the Japanese army, and there was a tendency to surround the Japanese counterattack troops in the middle.
Secondly, the U.S. military is also mobilizing artillery, preparing to put a large number of artillery in the area where the Japanese counterattacked, destroying the Japanese offensive momentum.
"Boom!" Very suddenly, the US Army's 155mm caliber howitzer opened fire, and a shell landed on a position that the Japanese army had just occupied.
Subsequently, the second shell also fell, and then one explosion after another, the shells fell on the Japanese positions like raindrops.
No matter how much the Japanese top level strengthens the defense of New Guinea, the gap between Japan and the United States is still huge in terms of the army's heavy firepower.
Among the artillery that the Americans equip their troops, the 155mm and 105mm cannons are at least twice as large as the Japanese guns of the same type.
So, when the shelling began, Yamashita realized that he might never be able to drive the Americans off the beach.
It is impossible to counterattack, and it is impossible to counterattack in this life, so I can only barely defend like this...
Perhaps after a day of perseverance, the nighttime naval shelling could allow the United States to abandon its beachhead and voluntarily retreat out of New Guinea—that was what Yamashita had in mind.
He was used to offensive operations, and for the first time, he felt a little remorse - if he had more German tanks in his hand, maybe this counterattack would have directly penetrated the American defense line!
"Hey..." With a sigh, Yamashita Fengwen put down the telescope in his hand and asked, "Tanaka-kun is really brave... It's a pity that there are too few weapons to support him."
On the commanding heights where he is, you can see the Japanese counterattack armored units rushing left and right in the U.S. defense line, as brave as Changshan Zhao Zilong.
Regrettably, the US counterattacks on both flanks were also fierce, so fierce that Yamashita Fengwen shook his determination to continue the attack.
He was afraid that his new weapons would be encircled and annihilated by the U.S. military, and he was also afraid that the U.S. military would eat up the few living forces in his hands-the more than 1,000 main soldiers who participated in the attack~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Although the 6th Division is the main force The main force in China, but its soldiers have to be replenished from Japan tens of thousands of miles away. At this time, they are consumed on the beach, and Fengwen Yamashita is somewhat reluctant.
After all, in Yamashita Fengwen's view, he still has another line of defense to hold, and Americans can't make much of a difference in New Guinea.
Just behind Fengwen at the foot of the mountain, on the Hengduan Mountains in New Guinea, there are jungles and mountains everywhere. The Japanese army can rely on this line of defense to prevent the US military from continuing to advance.
Moreover, in those mountains, American heavy artillery tanks can not be used, and air superiority cannot be exerted, which is more conducive to the defense of Japan.
Another reason is that, because of fear of the losses caused by the bombing, the Japanese army deployed their heavy artillery units on the ridge line, so there was no artillery available in the battle for the plains.
But to give up the front line and put the Americans ashore, Yamashita Fengwen was also a little reluctant. Seeing that he can drive the Americans into the sea, is it not a coward to retreat at this time?
After struggling for a few seconds, Yamashita Fengwen finally decided to press more reserves of the 6th Division and look for opportunities in the confrontation with the United States.
"Order the 47th Infantry Regiment to press on! Expand the results! It's all in one battle!" Yamashita Fengwen gritted his teeth and issued the order to continue the attack.
"Hi!" The officer beside him stood at attention and bowed his head, then turned and walked out.
