Hardcore ruthless starts in the Pacific

When Grant informed that the medical satchel was empty and there was nothing left but three morphine shots, Evan knew the real test was coming.

"Lighton, Cannon King and the others have already arrived in that building. The wounded don't have to worry that he will be fine. The medical platoon directly under the battalion will arrive soon."

"Ok, I know......"

At this time, the wounded man lying on the ground suddenly became emotional, not because he was about to become a person but for other reasons.

His eyes never left Ivan.

In fact, as early as when the medical soldiers of Company K arrived, the wounded soldiers who were silent and making no noise noticed something was wrong—the medical soldier in front of him who told all the officers and soldiers of Company K yesterday what "courage" was seemed to be injured!

When I was treated, it was Grant, not Ivan, who really did it, which further verified the judgment, so I immediately spoke up when Ivan didn't mean to stop.

"Sergeant, are you injured!?"

"What, hurt!?"

Before Ivan could deny or affirm, Layton, who had just got up and was about to leave, immediately squatted down, staring at the precious medical soldiers of Company K with his small eyes.

"Yes, it's just a minor injury." Ivan admitted honestly, "It's not a big problem, it won't affect my actions, it's just that I can't bandage the wounded myself."

"So you're still..."

Layton's face was full of shock mixed with a lot of incomprehension.

"Okay, it's not a serious injury. Hurry up and fight with the gun king, and help other injured comrades at the same time!" Ivan urged.

After thinking for a few seconds, Layton nodded and got up to leave.

After appeasing the wounded, Ivan and Grant acted again.

What if there is no bandage?

When passing by Ma Run’s corpse, look for it first. Generally speaking, every soldier will carry a first-aid kit, which contains an important small packet of sulfa powder and a roll of bandages. Compared with other armies of this era, it is already very luxurious. An extra tourniquet would be even better.

Through careful guidance and actual combat, Grant has become a qualified and even surpassed medical soldier.

Ivan is not only envious, but almost jealous of this guy's talent. As of noon, Grant has treated more than 20 wounded, and the average time spent on each wounded is only 3.5 minutes. You must know that Ivan, who has experienced yesterday and today, also needs to use 3.5 to 4 minutes, it seems that the gap is not very big, but don't forget that yesterday I rescued 46 people, and today I rescued at least 30 people. The experience accumulated in a lot of actual combat can make Yiwen so fast and efficient.

格兰特从一上手开始就是4~5分钟起步，随着熟练度的增加很快就压进了3分钟，到了下午1点左右已经压进了2分钟。

"Perhaps this is the talent favored by God."

Yiwen still remembers how terrifying the gap he felt after seeing those real academic masters before he was terminally ill... At one time, he felt depressed that he could not catch up with them even with ten times or a hundred times their efforts for a long time.

Most of the people I met after entering the reincarnation were quite ordinary. Even if I was a medical soldier in this reincarnation, I didn't think anyone could do better than myself, and then I was hit by Grant with a huge number of blows.

"Sergeant, what did you just say!?"

"It's nothing, let's go find the cannon king."

The battalion medical platoon appeared about one and a half hours ago. There was no sign of chaos in the large number of them. The medical staff formed a group of 3 people, and the stretcher soldiers formed a group of 2 people. Each of them was organized under the command of their respective officers Running around the airport, even if they had three or four more steps to treat each wounded than the company's medical soldiers, they could still treat the wounded ten or even nine times as efficiently as a medical soldier like Ivan.

Ivan noticed that they were carrying quite a lot of medical supplies, and they paid great attention to disinfection during the treatment process. Naturally, the company's medical soldiers were eliminated in the safe area, and some people even came to drive the company's medical soldiers.

This approach made Grant very superior. For some reason, this guy's temper became more and more irritable with the development of technology. If Ivan didn't stop him, he would open his mouth and say, "You idiot, do you know how many people we saved?" Shut up! Grant, not many of us would have to die here', I'm afraid he will fight directly with the medical platoon.

"How dare these cowards use such an attitude!"

Even after going far away, the Grant's family still breathed a lot of fragrance.

"No problem, because they are more professional." Ivan took a deep breath of the cigarette that Grant handed over and said.

To put it bluntly, the most correct way to rescue the wounded is to ensure that the wounded will not experience wound infection before the medical platoon executes every link meticulously. Medical soldiers like Yiwen just help the wounded stop bleeding and continue their lives. Create opportunities that can wait until they come.

"I'm not angry that they drove us away!"

Grant turned around and glared fiercely, "You have broken ribs, but you're still staying here! It's okay to look down on you, but even if you don't give you a box of painkillers for a plaster cast, it will be solved!?"

"Idiot, don't talk nonsense."

Ivan tapped the guy's forehead with his right hand, "This is a good thing!"

18. More than half of the casualties, but with flexible death standards (3K)

There were plenty of medical discharge materials and some plaster, but after careful inspection, it was deemed unnecessary, and finally wrapped the upper waist with several chest cloths.

Because it is only a relatively mild single closed rib fracture, supported by upper and lower ribs and intercostal muscles, dislocation occurs and there is little movement, and most of them can heal automatically.

The doctors of the medical platoon definitely wanted Ivan to go to the rear to recuperate, but he refused without hesitation and chose to move forward. Company K has already lost a medical soldier, and now if Ivan doesn't follow, how many brothers will be injured and die without being treated in time, he can't imagine at all-Grant will definitely be counted as a division, and he will even be able to act alone in the future, but this guy's temper If it is too intense, it is easy to cause conflicts that affect the treatment of the wounded.

In other words, when a sergeant and a second-class soldier yell at a soldier, they can at most curse the former behind his back, but not necessarily the latter...Spitting and scolding are considered light, and they can be directly used It is not impossible for two regiment leaders to deal with it in a fight on the battlefield.

Ivan was not sure how long it would take the [-]st Marine Division to establish a field hospital on the island. If he went back, he would board the hospital ship and then set sail to leave Peleliu Island. This is not an ordinary loss!

Unable to resist, the medical team gave him a box of painkillers and three morphine syringes and warned him to withdraw from the front line immediately if he developed a lung infection.

The bruise on the lower back is not a serious problem. Even without ice packs, it will disappear within three or four days. The bone fracture at the shoulder position is just a muscle injury, which is not much different from the ligament strain at the elbow joint of the left arm. After wearing a triangular bandage and taking painkillers for a week, it will heal itself.

In the war, there were too many soldiers who crippled themselves and wanted to leave the line of fire. Yiwen's behavior could not be said to stand out, but more like something different.

The people in the medical platoon asked him why he was so persistent when he was persuading him. You are the only medic left in Company K. It doesn’t mean that your company commander won’t apply for a new medic to come down. If you are so lucky, you can get a ticket back to Pearl Harbor with a minor injury. What will greet you after landing? Honor, flowers, applause, no one will treat you as a coward and a deserter.

Aside from the fact that reincarnators can't enjoy what Ma Run said, Yiwen is more training himself.It is already a standard for the strong to be able to stay on the line of fire with minor injuries, and minor injuries are not considered injuries in the eyes of those strong men he admires.

He can use the sufficient medical support of the US military to exercise his skills and tactics in this area, but it does not mean that he needs to enjoy this protection.

After all, Ivan will not always participate in this kind of battle related to the US military, and trials and hardships are yet to come.

The most important thing is that he is convinced that he does not have such a high level of acceptance of the drop. Now it is enough to mix ammunition with the US military, and the guy in his hand is either semi-automatic or automatic.Even as a medical soldier, the medical supplies on hand are in short supply, but compared to other countries during World War II, there are more than enough to be described as luxury.

Many poorer places wish to split the bandages in half, and use their own poor methods to make unqualified bandages in the eyes of the US military. The biggest advantage is that they can be reused-after being removed from the wounded, concentrate After cleaning, throw it into a large pot for steaming and disinfection, and finally hang it on a drying rack and wait for the sun to dry it.

Not to mention weapons and ammunition.

Human beings, there are only a very few cases, most of them live a rich life and get used to it. Not only can they not imagine what a poor life looks like, but they can't accept it when it comes, and they have various extreme thoughts.

Yiwen believes that sooner or later, whether it is a poor life or a rich life, he will not be happy with things but not sad with himself, but it is always right to get a vaccination in advance.

Stay with minor injuries

How can you give up the opportunity in the front line! ?

Of course, hearing about the guy chattering beside him made his ears hurt, so he should hit him a few times, lest he become so bloated that he doesn't know who he is after completing the first aid today.

"You don't miss me at all?" Ivan glanced at Grant with a strange look, "You're ready to kick me out after a while and go it alone?"

Grant, who heard these words, seemed to have a stress response, his body trembled a few times and stayed in place. After a few seconds, he followed Ivan's buttocks obediently, and whispered: "No!"

"Then shut your mouth."

Most Yankees are like this, compared to the British arrogance, they are a little more impatient. After all, the British still have full imperial pride engraved in their bones, and they still think that after the war, they will be the new Queen Victoria. Era——As a nobleman, you can't lose your manners even when you look down on others.

The arrogance displayed by a pure American like Grant will be more rude and straightforward. To put it bluntly, it is "I don't want you to think, I only want me to think." It reached its peak when the United States became the pole of the world and caused the collapse of Kanglian— This is what I think of freedom, and that is what I think of democracy. We have become the world's most powerful country with supreme hegemony, and the destruction of Kanglian has proved everything. You just need to follow our model.

Appropriate for the place?Seeking truth from facts?

In the eyes of the United States, this is all bullshit, and the face is full of 'just learn from me'!

Even if you bump your head against the south wall, and your head has a few holes, you still have to speak a few words.

Yiwen was really worried about this qualified medical soldier brought out by him.Talented and courageous is a rare talent, but the 'do whatever I want you' temperament is very problematic.

For this kind of soldier, the so-called military career is like a joke, but it is undeniable that the hierarchy in the US military system is very strict, and the superiority and inferiority are not unspoken rules but put on the surface.Even if you have outstanding military exploits and are still a mid-to-high-level commander, for example, a regimental commander with outstanding military exploits is impatient, and when you encounter some things that you do well but others do not do well, you throw your temper at your superiors and colleagues, and you are basically judged Colonel, brigadier general's military career ends here.

Some people can't say something, and some things can't be said, even if you are right and wrong, Colonel Puller, the commander of the 1st Marine Regiment, is a typical example. The non-commissioned officers/soldiers below did not handle the world well... In this reincarnation, the so-called [-]st Marine Regiment suffered the biggest failure since its formation, and then was dismissed and put on the bench. It's really all due to Puller The colonel misdirected?

In the eyes of non-commissioned officers at the grassroots level, Colonel Puller, who was at least a major general of the Marine Corps after World War II, was kicked out to return to training recruits. Isn't it as simple as blowing a breath to kill a soldier?

"less talking, more working."

Ivan reminded as he walked.

After arriving at the iconic building of Peleliu Island Airport, the two of them did not stop to rest, but quickly judged the injuries of the wounded of Company K. Many comrades who had collapsed on the ground saw Ivan with his left hand hanging on the triangular scarf and they were with Grant. After rushing to the wounded, they immediately gained strength and stood up to help.

Most of the injuries were minor, and a few were moderate. After emergency treatment, there were no major problems.

When I came here, I didn't see the Pao Wang, the country bumpkin, and the old gun. Ma Run, who was helping me, said that he was going to find fresh water for the brothers. Yi Wen also counted the number of people by the way.

Company K occupied this building, and its personnel were concentrated on the first and second floors.

When he finished his work and was able to rest, Ivan said to Grant: "There are only 92 people left who can still fight, and there are only 116 people including the wounded."

"..."

Grant was silent and couldn't say a word, because the full establishment of Company K was 190 people, and 9 familiar faces had disappeared in more than 30 hours since they landed at 74 o'clock yesterday morning.

"How many people did we have before we set off?" Ivan continued to ask.

"I haven't counted."

Grant shook his head, then sighed, "But I think there are at least 170 people."

In the landing battle yesterday and the defensive battle to repel the Japanese counterattack in the afternoon, Company K did not suffer too many losses, but the casualties in the two to three 10 minutes of rushing through the airport today were close to half.

Among them, there are not many deaths in battle. After all, there are 4 types of deaths in the US military—death in battle, death ineffective in medical treatment, accidental death, and missing death. When the data was released, the deaths told to the public were only killed in battle, and the remaining three types of deaths were counted as missing. with hurt inside.

There is one thing that does not need to be doubted.

About 10-6 of the 7 U.S. soldiers who died in battle should have been counted as killed in battle, but if you didn’t die on the battlefield and were sent back, it wouldn’t count as a death in battle; you died on the battlefield, but your commander thinks you haven’t died yet. It is not considered a death in battle when you go back; it is not a death in battle if you are blown to pieces on the battlefield and look completely dead but you can’t distinguish the body... This is no longer a flexible criterion for distinguishing a death in battle.

For Ma Run, who died heroically in battle, it was an indescribable blasphemy.

As for whether the US military's harsh death standard is the same as the main mission's death standard, Ivan didn't struggle much from the beginning.

It's best not to be the same, and it is calculated according to death is death in battle.

Put the bloody side in front of Ivan, just like the number of rescues and survivors I saw today, and give up any unrealistic illusions... because it will hinder Ivan from moving towards his ideal.

Seek truth from facts.

The simple four words, not everyone can do it, but it is the foundation of becoming a strong person.

"Grant, the next test is even more severe." Ivan said, "Whether it is for us or others. It is only the second day of the war, and more and more familiar faces will disappear before our eyes."

"Ah."

Ivan looked at Umurbrogol Mountain, which was completely composed of coral rocks. It was different from normal mountains. The green plants on it were negligible, and most places were bare like a piece of rock. Just looking at it felt that the situation in the mountain was complicated.

19. How come this is a few to one army dialect? (2.2W/3W)

According to some war clips I have seen, if Ivan remembers correctly, there are two to three hundred natural caves in this area, which was regarded as a key defense by the Japanese army, and there are more than 500 fortifications and bunkers built on favorable terrain. place.

There are ghost riflemen, snipers, and machine guns with precise marksmanship hidden in invisible places. Under the cold bullets and terrifying crossfire, every soldier who can survive is lucky enough.

At present, the only way to win with the least casualties is to besiege them and let them starve to death inside, because the shells fired by the 155 heavy artillery of the First Marine Division can chew off a layer of skin at most, and they can't hurt the Japanese army in the tunnels and caves at all. In the end, a forced attack will eventually turn into a war of attrition that the headquarters does not want to see—it is precisely because they do not want to see that kind of terrible war that the U.S. military has abandoned the usual infantry tactics and launched this morning at all costs and casualties. Infantry company casualties close to 50% of combat orders.

After entering Umurbrogol Mountain, the difficulty of rescuing the wounded can be said to be straight up. In any case, the beachhead and the airport are considered flat, and it is not so laborious for people to walk back and forth on it. Moreover, once a safe area is secured, the medical platoon of the camp will follow up. The wounded reduce the pressure of treatment.

As long as he entered the damn mountain in front of him, everything might be decided.

The terrain is dangerous, the terrain is narrow, tanks can't go up, and carrier-based aircraft can't shoot accurately. You can only rely on infantry, but a battalion of infantry can't go up and use it. At most, you can launch a company-scale attack. When you actually go in, you will find that even if it is A row is a bit crowded.

In the end, it became a blasting team composed of 3~6 people. Under the cover of various firepower of the whole company, they approached the bunkers, caves, and tunnels of the Japanese army, and used flamethrowers to deal with the group of animals... However, a company The number of fire-breathing soldiers in the establishment is limited, and there is still no way to find any infantry to be competent, and one less casualty, so the blasting team has become a literal meaning.

Each person is covered with grenades and holds explosive packs, and does not carry any other sundries that may affect this brave unit. Reduce the load to the limit, determine the location that needs to be blasted, and rush up under the fire cover of the entire company Destroy the bunker, drop one demolitionist and go up the second until there is no one left in the entire demolition team to form a second demolition team.

Compared with the blasting team of the Chinese army, the only advantage of the US military is that it does not need to pick up the explosive packs in the hands of dead comrades.

When Ivan turned his gaze away from Umurbrogol Mountain, the gun king, the country bumpkin, and the old gun returned to the dilapidated building, still carrying a dozen water bottles in their hands.

"came back!"

Some soldiers wanted to stand up, but were stopped by the cannon king with gestures.

Yiwen found that his lips were chapped, his whole face was a little pale, and the sweat kept dripping down. It was obvious that he was short of water and was close to heat stroke, so he walked up without saying a word.

Captain Haldane can't go down, definitely can't go down.

He is already the pillar of Company K, the spiritual pillar of Ma Run who are still alive in the building.

"You are hurt?"

Seeing Ivan's left arm with a triangular scarf, Captain Haldane's eyes immediately flashed a trace of pain and self-blame.

"It's nothing, it's just a muscle strain from too much exercise."

Before coming, Ivan warned Grant not to reveal his injury. K Company must have seen him blown away by shells, but they didn't know the extent of his injuries.

"Captain, drink some water."

Ivan handed over the last kettle hanging on his body, but the Cannon King didn't take it, but looked at him worriedly.

"Googling..."
