Take Taobao to fight against Japan

Soon, this hastily established defensive circle will become a battlefield for soldiers from both sides to fight bloody battles.

"Yoshi, the Imperial Japanese Navy did a great job!"

After receiving the relevant information, Kiyotake Kawaguchi burst into a smile on his face, and kept saying, "The U.S. landing fleet was defeated and fled, which means that the Empire of Japan has completely controlled the territory of Guadalcanal Island." Air dominance and sea dominance, then these U.S. troops on the island will naturally become isolated and helpless lambs to be slaughtered."

Immediately afterwards, Kiyotake Kawaguchi turned his head to look at Yuyumi Nasu and Kiyonao Kazuki who were equally excited and said loudly:

"Nasu-kun, Ichiki-kun, it's our Imperial Army's turn to play now. We must annihilate these reckless Yankees as soon as possible, and let them taste the power of the Imperial Japanese Army."

Yumi Nasu nodded with a smile and said: "Hai! The time is finally ripe, the Imperial Japanese Army will definitely win this battle!"

Kiyonao Ichiki shouted arrogantly: "General Kawaguchi, let our Ichiki detachment take the lead in the next battle. I believe that the warriors of the Empire will be able to play a glorious tradition and deal a devastating blow to the US military!"

The Ichiki detachment led by Ichiki Kiyonao is actually the 7th Regiment of the 28th Division. It can indeed be regarded as an elite unit with a glorious history.

"Suoga, since this is the case, then Mr. Yimu, you are responsible for attacking from the front."

Kiyoken Kawaguchi nodded happily, and then said viciously, "But before that, we must make overwhelming artillery preparations. The blood of the warriors of the empire can be shed, but not in vain!"

The Allied fleet was defeated. Although there were many Allied ground troops on the island, they had no control over the air or sea. The Japanese army could do whatever they wanted, bombarding the Allied positions with aircraft and naval guns.

In particular, the Allied ground forces did not carry too many heavy weapons, and there were not many tanks and armored vehicles. In this case, it seemed that they really became a lamb to be slaughtered.

"Yo Sai, what Kawaguchi-kun said is very true!"

"We will definitely win this battle, and Guadalcanal Island will definitely become the grave of the Yankees!"

Thinking of this, Nasu Yumio and Kawaguchi Kiyoken laughed from ear to ear.

Chapter 1556 This is a double-edged sword

At around [-]:[-] in the morning, dozens of Japanese combat aircraft took off from the airport in the north of the island, and aggressively rushed towards the defensive circle where the Allied forces were located.

"Empire warriors enjoy the carnage feast to the fullest!"

"Hurry up, rush up, kill them all!"

"Bagya Road! Damn Yankee, die!"

Since the Allied Forces did not have air supremacy, the Devil pilots were extremely excited and rambunctious. Whether it was a bomber or a fighter, they all chose to fly at ultra-low altitudes, as close to the ground as possible to carry out precise strikes.

Soon the Devils combat aircraft group came to the Allied defense circle in the south of Guadalcanal Island, and began their crazy performance.

"Damn it, the Japanese plane is coming again!"

"Air attack! Air attack by enemy planes! This is not a drill! This is not a drill!"

"Quick! Spread out and hide!"

"Anti-aircraft machine gun team, anti-aircraft gun team! Ready to fight!"

The soldiers in charge of guarding the Allied forces sent out an alarm through the walkie-talkie at the first time, and the various combat units of the Allied forces panicked for a while, especially those recruits who had not experienced actual combat.

But panic is nothing, but they are all professionally trained soldiers. They know that to save their lives at this time, they must be calm and obey orders. They must not run around, otherwise they will only die faster.

Although the Allied forces do not have air supremacy and no aircraft to provide protection, there is an extremely favorable geographical condition. Since Guadalcanal Island has a tropical rainforest climate, it is hot all year round without a dry season, and the annual average precipitation is 3000-3500 mm.

As a result, the vegetation on Guadalcanal Island is extremely dense, with primeval jungle accounting for 90% of the entire territory, and the remaining 10% are basically covered with herbaceous plants as tall as a person.

Therefore, these dense surface vegetation that can be seen everywhere can provide excellent cover for Allied soldiers and easily escape the aerial detection of aircraft.

The Allied soldiers scattered and avoided as quickly as possible, and it didn't take long before there was a thunderous hum of motors overhead, and the sound became more and more sharp.

"Bagaya Road!"

"Die, die!"

"Damn Yankees, don't hide if you have the guts!"

"Baga! Come out and die!"

The Devil pilots came here in high spirits, but sadly found that the defensive circle where the Allied forces were located was full of towering ancient trees, and it was impossible to detect the hidden Allied ground troops with the naked eye.

But obviously, it was impossible for these ferocious ghost soldiers to just let it go and fly back obediently without firing a single shot.

After circling at low altitude, the exasperated Devil pilots could only follow their instincts, shooting and throwing aerial bombs at those places with suspicious heights, so as to force the Allies to fight back.

The aviation machine gun sprayed out long tongues of flame, drawing bullet lines in the air, and then hit the woods fiercely, stirring up waves of metal storms, breaking how many branches and knocking down how many leaves.

But for the Allied soldiers who hid well, it was tantamount to scratching the itch. Except for a very small number of lucky ones, most of them were not in any danger at all.

As for the bombs dropped, they can only be described as hitting mosquitoes with anti-aircraft guns, without any "sense of accomplishment" at all.

The Allied soldiers also discovered this problem. Facing the devil's blind firepower probing, the anti-aircraft machine gun crew and anti-aircraft artillery who were already prepared wisely chose to remain silent.

Because there is no aircraft protection now, although the number of these anti-aircraft weapons in their hands is quite large, in fact, the threat of the devil aircraft diving at low altitude and high speed is limited, and it is far from enough to form a strong and effective counterattack.

If they launched a counterattack at this moment, apart from exposing the target and increasing casualties, it would not have much effect at all.

"Baga! A group of cowards who are as timid as a mouse!"

"Baga! Damn Yankee!"

After a burst of crazy blind shooting and blind bombing, it was discovered that the Allied forces were still pretending to be dogs. The huge area was silent. Except for the billowing smoke from the bombs, it seemed that not even a small shrimp was caught.

In the end, the Devil pilots had no choice but to take advantage of their joy and return disappointed. After wasting a lot of ammunition and fuel, they returned cursingly.

As for throwing incendiary bombs and setting fires, it would have no effect at all, because this is a tropical rainforest, the environment is extremely humid, and the rainfall is heavy. Unless a few tons of gasoline are poured, it is impossible to ignite a forest fire.

And once the fire comes up, it is really called fire and water, and who knows what it will turn into in the end?

"It's okay! There are lush forests everywhere. Even if we don't have air supremacy and don't have many anti-aircraft weapons, the Devil's Air Force can't do anything against us."

Listening to the fleet of devils drifting away, the corner of Lu Zefu's mouth twitched slightly.

Although this kind of scene can only be regarded as a small scene in the military career for many years, the experience just now is really thrilling. After all, they are already alone now, which is very different from the previous battles.

"Yeah! Thanks to the fact that we are in the jungle, if we put it in an open area without shelter, it would be enough for us to drink a pot."

As the sound of the plane faded away, Xu Jinglei felt relieved at the moment.

Lu Zefu nodded and said: "The dense virgin forest is fair. It is really beneficial to us at present, and can provide us with excellent cover and protection! But the same, it will be the same for the devil soldiers on the defensive side in the future!"

Xu Jinglei's complexion suddenly darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "Yes, this is a double-edged sword. Especially since we are considered to be a lone army now, and the devils have the home field advantage and the advantage in the sea and air, I am afraid that in the days to come we will Not having a good time."

"That's okay. I believe that the Allied Forces Command can't just give up on us like this. They will definitely organize reinforcements to come to support us as soon as possible. We only need to persevere to win the final victory."

Lu Zefu comforted, then waved his hands and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense! You hurry back and lead the team. Although the Devils planes didn't play a big role, the Devils' ground troops are different. They will definitely launch soon. offensive.

And the next time may be very difficult, but you must tell the brothers when you go back, although the chief seat is thousands of miles away, he has always cared about us.

Our Huben Army will always be an invincible army, will never be abandoned, and will never fight alone! "

"That's right, with the boss here, our Huben army will always be an invincible army!"

Hearing this, Xu Jinglei immediately became excited again. Although he is only a grassroots commander who has been in the army for less than two years, he has long been a diehard fan of Yang Fan.

"Please rest assured, battalion commander, we will guarantee you that we will not embarrass you!"

Then, Xu Jinglei saluted Lu Zefu, then turned around and left.

Chapter 1557 The price of arrogance

However, not long after Xu Jinglei left, before the Devils' ground troops launched an attack, they were greeted with heavy shelling from the Devils fleet.

The Eighth Fleet led by the Sanchuan Army is currently moored in the offshore waters of Guadalcanal Island. After receiving the request from the army, it launched a fierce shelling towards the Allied defense circle.

More than a dozen main battleships were almost fully fired, and shells of large and small calibers roared towards Guadalcanal.

After a while, I saw black clouds of gunpowder smoke rising in a large area on the shore, and a raging fire ignited.

Similarly, due to the inability to determine the specific hiding places of the allied forces, the Devil Fleet can only focus on those areas that are most likely to gather heavy troops.

The towering ancient trees were severely damaged, and many trees were directly interrupted by the middle, and fell down piece by piece.

Due to the dense forests on the island, most of the shells were hit on the trees, and it was difficult to directly bombard the ground through the dense forest, so there was no way to cause direct damage to the Allied soldiers hidden in the jungle.

However, the lethality of these large-caliber naval guns should not be underestimated. The high-speed metal fragments, overpressure shock waves, blown up tree fragments, and fallen tree trunks produced by the explosion are enough to cause fatal damage.

Under the continuous shelling that lasted half an hour, hundreds of Allied soldiers were unfortunately killed, and many others were injured to varying degrees.

"Empire warriors! Charge!"

"Kill it! Shred those damn Yankees!"

"The Great Japanese Empire is on board!"

After the artillery coverage ended, Kiyonao Kazuki led the first echelon of more than 900 people and more than 20 light tanks, and launched an attack to the northwest of the Allied defense circle.

Company A, 5st Battalion, 1th Marine Regiment, who was in charge of guarding, first had an encounter with the vanguard of the Ichiki Detachment. In the first round of firefights, the U.S. Army eliminated 5 Japanese soldiers at the cost of 8 deaths and 57 injuries. 5 Devil light tanks.

Due to the unknown situation, Vandergrift wisely decided to continue to stick to the defensive circle. Among them, Colonel Clifton Cates' 5th Marine Regiment could not hold on, and sent 10 M3 light tanks to support it.

Lieutenant Colonel Glover judged that the Japanese army's most likely main attack direction was the small highland defended by Company A, so he deployed heavy machine guns and four 37mm anti-tank guns that could fire shotguns here.

After the first attack was thwarted, Kiyomi Kazuki did not give up, but decided to continue to be reckless.

Kiyonao Kazuki's plan is very simple, that is to concentrate all the main forces to rush across the small highlands in batches, and then wipe out the US troops in front of them in hand-to-hand combat.

In his view, the isolated and helpless U.S. military has already suffered heavy casualties under the double firepower of the Japanese Empire's air force and navy. As long as they are strong enough and ruthless enough, they will definitely be able to defeat this rookie-level U.S. Marine Corps, and then successfully open up for the follow-up troops. gap.

Then, it is natural to continue to expand the results of the battle until the US army is defeated and completely annihilated.

However, the following cold facts directly made the self-righteous Ichiki Kiyonao dumbfounded.

Hundreds of Japanese soldiers, led by light tanks, yelled "onboard" loudly, and launched an attack on the inconspicuous small highland not far away.

The ghost soldiers in the rear set up light and heavy machine guns and anti-tank guns, and covered the troops' charge with full firepower.

At this time, the U.S. military immediately aimed all weapons that could be fired, such as rifles, machine guns, mortars, and anti-tank guns, at the crazily charging Japanese army.

The Americans and the Japanese fired at almost the same time, and the dense bullets from both sides began to rain into the woods on both sides.

The Japanese army was very aggressive and powerful, and its impact was strong enough, but the US military's powerful firepower network was not vegetarian.

The dense artillery fire pierced their tanks one after another, and the impenetrable metal storm blew gusts of monster wind, blowing down those devil soldiers who were running wild one by one.

More than 20 minutes later, after a series of frenzied attacks, the devil soldiers finally succeeded in breaking through the front line of defense, killing and wounding many American soldiers.

But this only broke through a small part of the line of defense, and they are far from reaching the point where the U.S. military is hurt.

At this time, the Devils' tank units had been destroyed one by one, and the Devils who had lost their cover had become a group of living targets.

However, the devil soldiers who were already red-eyed didn't seem to be aware of the current situation, and continued to charge wildly, holding a bayonet-inserted rifle and screaming loudly.

Needless to say, under the powerful automatic firepower net, the subsequent battle quickly turned into a one-sided massacre, and the Japanese soldiers fell one by one.

However, the 1st and 3rd Squadrons of the Japanese Army also invested in a frenzied charge, and did not retreat even if the corpses were already everywhere.

Among them, a barbed wire fence about 30 meters in front of a US military position became the burial place of wave after wave of Japanese soldiers.

However, the surviving Japanese soldiers stepped on the corpses of their comrades and continued to charge wildly. Many Japanese soldiers even rushed towards the American foxholes holding their bayonets like katana swords, or directly rang grenades and jumped in with explosives.

"I buy it! Are these damn Japanese guys really not afraid of death at all?"

"Fake, all die!"

The Japanese army's almost suicidal crazy attack directly made the American soldiers dumbfounded. They didn't understand what was in the head of the enemy in front of them. How could they be so crazy?

But at this moment, the U.S. Marines had no time to think too much. They only knew that at this time, it was either you or me. If they wanted to survive, they had to kill all these crazy Japanese soldiers.

When the battle lasted for nearly an hour, 10 M3 light tanks dispatched from the division headquarters finally arrived on the battlefield.

The M3 light tank rolled over the corpses of the Japanese army and crossed the sandbar, and began the final attack on the remnants of the Japanese army. The infantry followed the tank and launched a counter-charge against the Japanese army in front.

"Baga! How could this be? Why do they still have so many tanks? Why can't the imperial warriors break through their defense line?"

Kiyonao Kazuki was completely dumbfounded. The script in front of him was completely different from what he had imagined. The Yankee, who had been isolated and covered by artillery fire many times, was not only still powerful in firepower, but also able to launch such a sharp counterattack.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the ghost guards who protected Yimu Qingzhi hurriedly persuaded him loudly: "Your Excellency, this place is not safe, hurry up and retreat!"

"Baga! The whole army retreats!"

Kiyoshi Ichiki stared at the group of American tanks approaching aggressively not far away with eyes full of resentment, and finally could only grit his teeth and swallow.

Although Yimu Qingzhi was not afraid of death, how could he just give away the head like this.

The scene after the battle is hard to describe in words: a large area is almost covered with Japanese corpses, and some places are even more exaggerated layer upon layer.

At the same time, the [-]st Marine Division also saw for the first time the dirty behavior of Japanese wounded detonating grenades when American medical soldiers came to treat them. Since then, when they saw Japanese soldiers lying on the ground, they always shot first.

The arrogant Ichiki Kiyoshi paid the price in blood. More than 600 Japanese soldiers died in this battle, and the elite forces of 3 squadrons were lost.

美军方面则是共有54人阵亡、75人受伤，并缴获了10挺重机枪、20挺轻机枪、500条步枪、20把手枪、2门92式步兵炮和12具火焰喷射器。
