Hardcore ruthless starts in the Pacific

Among the Ma Run who broke through, only 6 people were injured, and they were all insignificant abrasions, the kind that could continue fighting with a bandage.

Compared with the loss of personnel, there are more weapons and equipment. All bazooka rocket launchers and M2 60mm mortars are discarded in order to reduce the load, but before that, all the shells that can be fired are fired. , if the time is not too tight, it will definitely be destroyed with a grenade.

During the breakout process, the three machine guns emptied the bullets, but they did not leave the M3A1919 on the way to the breakout. They just dropped the red barrel and brought the gun body back.

After all, after installing a new barrel, it can fire bullets vigorously. Against the Japanese army without artillery support, the firepower net that the machine gun can create is quite effective.

Even if 5 leading soldiers and 2 technical soldiers were lost, no one would say that Ivan did not do well enough. They would even think that being able to jump out of the encirclement and bring back all but 7 soldiers was considered a miraculous breakout operation.

It’s just that Yiwen thinks that the last seven people are not hopeless. They can have opportunities and hope... Even if the order issued in advance is about to let these rough embryos die, Yiwen didn’t say it to death, but Tell them to retreat when they are ordered.

He gave the order, and Nuo Xi also passed the order on. If it wasn't for the gang of Ma Run who regarded death as home and had to hand over their lives to that place to cover the evacuation of the large troops, then they would have encountered big trouble-being left and right when they were about to retreat. The Japanese troops on both wings found and quickly approached, oppressing a small area and struggling to resist with a small amount of ammunition.

'Is that the only way? '

'So you can sigh that there is no way to do it? '

'Is there really no other way?Can we just throw them away? '

Before the bullets were emptied, the group of 7 people still had the ability to prevent the Japanese army from approaching. They were brave and good at fighting with accurate marksmanship, and it was not a big problem to support them for more than ten or twenty minutes.

Ivan doesn't have any skills in his hands now, so it's impossible for him to repeat the myth of a single soldier opening a survival channel.

It's just that he didn't think there was nothing to do.

At this time, the gun king hurried over.

PS:

There will be no rewards at the end of the month, and it will be opened at the beginning of next month. Anyway, the monthly pass and free blades will be refreshed next month. Give me all this month, don’t waste it

77. Enough gambling, but also crazy enough!

The commander of company K did not come alone, but brought a full platoon of reinforcements, as well as a considerable amount of supplies, including new barrels and guns for M1919A6, brand new M2 60mm mortars and several boxes of shells, A brand new bazooka with boxes of rockets, a brand new M2 flamethrower, and a fuel tank set that is not enough but adequate.

Ivan didn't remember that he told him the details of the breakout, and Nuo Xi didn't have much time to talk about these things, so it could only be Captain Haldane's own judgment.

No kidding, this is a rather terrifying thing, which belongs to the scope of subjective initiative, but not everyone can do it—Ivan himself may not be able to do it—Captain Haldane’s work is complicated and cumbersome, far beyond The affairs that a company commander needs to undertake are equivalent to being a mother and a father for K company, and he has to think carefully about everything as an older brother, and occasionally he has to be a younger brother/sister to provide the best encouragement and encouragement, and even... ...There are so many things, there is no unimportant thing.

When people face a lot of troublesome things, not everyone has the patience to deal with them. They often become manic due to various troubles and cause many problems. However, these are nothing to the king of guns. What is the most lacking in the tactical team after the breakout!

It has to be said that Captain Haldane is definitely a talent for being a company commander!

In fact, this kind of talent has been shown from the very beginning - he can remember the names of everyone in K Company. Ivan was transferred to Pavovo Island not long ago, and he immediately called out his name when they met, and many recruits did the same. The first day came, and the second and third days Pao Wang could speak very smoothly.

When he landed on Peleliu Island, he personally dealt with all kinds of difficulties. Not to mention completely solving them, at least the serious problems at that time were alleviated. The reconnaissance before the attack was even more meticulous and he personally went into battle... Ivan thinks that only in terms of techniques and tactics I must be stronger than him, but I have combined all military qualities, and there is a considerable gap between myself and him.

The "timely rain" sent over can enable the technical soldiers to quickly form combat effectiveness.

The method that Ivan thought of can also be implemented.

For K Company, the crisis has passed and the strategic objectives have been successfully achieved.

At least for two hours, the Japanese army will not evacuate, and will not hide in those troublesome underground bunkers. With no firepower advantage at all, it is the best time for the US military to attack.

"Sir, what happened to the reinforcements!?"

So the first thing he said when he saw the gun king was to ask the most critical thing in the counterattack.

"It's already in place. Two companies have arrived first. Although they are not fully staffed, they are already able to take over our defense of this position. Three companies will come up in half an hour—!"

Hearing this sentence, Ivan was surprised and speechless.

What surprised him so much must be the terrifying reinforcement efficiency.

You must know that it is only early 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and the confrontation has only started for an hour. The defensive position that can take over K Company's defensive position is at least 1 people.

Here is the US military, the US military, repeat the third time, it is the US military!

It's not Yi Wenhei's army, but the horse riders who have personally experienced what it means to "reinforcement is coming soon!"

战场上类似的事情非常之多，目前陆战1师或是步兵321团能抽调的增援并不多，陆战5团的3个步兵连被包围在五姐妹山、陆战7团要负责东南面、步兵321团正在U山中心点的东面打的正火热，真正能抽调援军的只有陆战1团。

However, this regiment had 1749 casualties in the initial battle for the Five Sisters Mountain. You must know that the entire 1st Marine Regiment has only more than 3000 people on horseback. The casualty rate has reached 2000%... The regiment-level size in the U.S. military's combat order is this standard, but many times the casualty rate reaches 75% and it loses its combat capability.

Under such circumstances, the 1st Marine Regiment could still mobilize troops for reinforcements. I have to lament that Ma Run's bones are quite hard.

There are many factors that contributed to this reason, the first factor being Colonel "The Goose" Puller, the head of the regiment.

He has found a job for himself these days. The 1st Marine Regiment is reorganizing except for rest, and has formed 5 companies with a certain combat effectiveness-now it has nothing to do with the headquarters, it is purely Colonel Puller, the head of the regiment who was confirmed to be dismissed but has not been dismissed due to successive wars, worked day and night to maintain morale and reduce his pessimistic attitude.

This regiment commander is very good at boosting morale in a losing battle. During the Battle of Changjin Lake, he also repeatedly stood up to boost morale, so that the 1st Marine Regiment of the large army in the rear could respond to the main force's retreat, otherwise the 9th Corps would not be able to say much. Expand some victories.

Coincidentally, Company K’s consecutive victories shredded the mythical image of the Japanese army in Ma Run’s impression of the 1st Marine Regiment. Morale continued to rise with the rest and reorganization, and a small number of Ma Run began to call for “revenge, step on Damn, I owe more than 100 tombstones to my comrades-in-arms on the Bloody Nose Ridge, and I want to pay homage to them with the little devil's Tianling Gai! ', coincidentally used them today.

"I didn't have any hope when I asked for help, but I didn't want the morale of the 1st Marine Regiment to recover quite well during the rest these days. The five companies that were reorganized have quite good combat effectiveness."

The target of the Cannon King's call for reinforcements was directly pulled to the headquarters, skipping the battalion commander, regimental commander, and division commander, quite lawless.

Although it is not the first time to do this, the headquarters did not seem to be numb. After listening to the situation carefully, they immediately made up their minds... Then the logistics staff who were busy from last night to this morning were all called up without exception. Two infantry companies were transported as quickly as possible, and the shells and ammunition were taken directly from the camp on the west bank. When the personnel arrived, logistics personnel immediately distributed them to push the support speed to the limit.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We have mobilized at least [-] Japanese soldiers hidden in U Mountain. They no longer hide in underground fortifications like mice, but will fight us to the death—including the siege of Wumeishan Mountain. Little devils of the friendly army, if we miss this opportunity, how long will we have to fight here? How many casualties will we suffer!?"

To be honest, Ivan didn't think much about it when he first adjusted the plan. He just wanted to seize the initiative and didn't want the Japanese army's tactics to succeed. The ultimate goal was to break free from the encirclement and kill more animals while defending.

This battle can fully prove Ivan's keen sense of smell on the front line, and completely let K Company break free from the previous care, keep moving like a rabbit and turn into a tactic like the wind.

In contrast, Pao Wang seized the opportunity to kill the little devils in the central area of ​​Mount U. If he still had the opportunity to kill the Japanese soldiers who ran out of the Wumei Mountain area to fight back... . Not to mention the complete elimination of the beasts in the U Mountain area, at least to disable this group of little devils who are still organized and counterattacking, so that they can stay in the underground fortifications and wait for one by one to be pulled out. Method.

Enough gambling, but also crazy enough!

78. Do one big ticket, do one big ticket!

"The strategic goal is very bold, and the price of failure is very heavy...Although war is the craziest form of gambling, I actually don't like to walk on the tip of the knife, but when I am sure, I will fully support it! "

Yes, that's right—Ivan felt very confident, because the Japanese army's communication was very poor, and the former enemy headquarters was also surrounded by his own team and killed with mortars.

The focus is on the latter matter. Taking out the former enemy headquarters means completely destroying the organizational capabilities of this wave of Japanese troops.

Many people are influenced by film and television dramas and movies. When they see too many people’s armies fighting, they can’t get in touch with their superiors or subordinates, but they can win a big victory. They always think that similar situations will happen to the armies of other countries. , in fact it is not that simple.

If they see an enemy appearing nearby, grassroots non-commissioned officers and officers can make their own decisions without going through their superiors, but at other times they have to obey the orders of the former enemy headquarters-this is why the best magic weapon to win at the beginning of a war is to think The method is to destroy the enemy's headquarters, causing huge chaos in the command system within the huge army. The troops below do not know whether to fight, retreat, or turn in, retreat, and detour, and finally froze in place and missed many good opportunities.

This is an excellent opportunity for K Company. The little devil's command system was destroyed and froze in place. Ivan led the team to tear through the line of defense and successfully broke through, which only affected the nearby animals to come and re-enclose the siege. What was the plan for the rest of the place before? Proceed, and it is still proceeding according to that plan. The devils in the south area gathered and left the underground tunnels, and the devils in the north and east launched an offensive in full swing.

Unless Nakagawa Prefecture's male commander personally leaves the headquarters in the central area of ​​Mount U and comes to the forefront and re-establishes the headquarters, there will be no slight change.

Ivan believed that after the little devil's former enemy headquarters was taken away, Colonel Nakagawa would leave the bunker because he couldn't be contacted, but he wouldn't come so fast... As far as their communication efficiency is concerned, they start within two hours.

Today's K company needs reinforcements and reinforcements, weapons and ammunition, ammunition and ammunition, morale and morale, and time and time.

The most important thing is that it fits well with Ivan's idea of ​​rescuing the 7-member team after the breakup.

Just do it, Ivan thought for a moment and proposed the combat plan he thought of.

The main goal of the reinforcements coming up is to hold the front and defend the flank facing south. The 1st platoon brought by the gun king will be led by him to start directly from the originally opened passage, open up this road again, and then quickly detour to the rear of the Japanese army in the front , At the same time, an excellent officer is needed to lead another infantry platoon to launch a fierce attack from the opposite direction. After defeating the Japanese army in the northern area, it quickly detours and intersects with the 1st platoon of Company K to form an encirclement of the frontal Japanese army.

Take advantage of semi-automatic/automatic firepower, as well as point-and-shoot light artillery to wipe out the frontal enemy within an hour.In the remaining time, we can consider trying to encircle and annihilate the devils whose original tactical goal is to flank the tactical team of Company K in the south, and eliminate more living forces, so that the underground fortifications built by these turtles will be unfilled!

So far, the strength of the little devils in the area bombed by the gasoline bomb has dropped by at least one-third, and there are only about three hundred left at most. Company K, which has been reinforced by two companies of more than a hundred people, already has the same strength.

According to normal tactics, if you want to encircle and swallow this group of Japanese troops, you have to increase the force ratio to 4:1, or at least 3:1. Now that the force is only 1:1, Ivan feels that the feasibility is quite high. The shabby Japanese army does not even have artillery support, and there are not many machine guns. On the other hand, our own side has a super firepower advantage. In addition, the skills and tactics of the artillerymen in actual combat these days are outrageously high.... Winning, Winning , It depends on whether the casualties of one's own side can support the second tactical encirclement.

"Row 1, let's go—!"

After a series of quick and simple arrangements, more than 60 Ma Run who were reinforced jumped out of the position, and the gun king still stayed in place to command the reinforcement company of the 1st Marine Regiment to follow closely behind to ensure the flank of the attacking troops and resist the attack from the southern front. pressure from the Japanese army.

The northern line changed from the original defense to the onslaught, and immediately caught the enemy in front of him by surprise. Originally, the Japanese army was attacking and the U.S. military was defending. After the headquarters was destroyed, the Japanese troops on the northern front didn't know what the Yankees were crazy about, but they subconsciously made deployment adjustments, canceled the original offensive situation, and looked for suitable bunkers to defend against the crazy behavior of the enemy in front of them. Faced with the attack of the light artillery in the hands of the US military.

Even if they continue to maintain the offensive, they will be completely exploded by the firepower of the American guns, so the only way for the Japanese army to retreat is to be told on the way that today's counterattack does not allow anyone to retreat, and they must die on the road of attack. , all sides are helping the commander of the Northern Front Interspersed Forces.

The attack was the 3rd platoon of K Company, which had withstood dozens of times the desperate impact of the Japanese army in this area. It was still led by a country bumpkin. There are still more than 50 Ma Run who are capable of fighting. It stands to reason that when the casualties exceed half, they should stop. It’s just that Company K was not the company K was in the early days of landing on the island. The morale of the tactical team had improved a lot when the tactical team returned. They had to call artillery to carry out indiscriminate killings. Many brothers did not die on the road of attack, but died at the hands of their own people. While deeply aggrieved, they also hated the Japanese army. Even after fighting for an hour, they did not feel tired at all. .

During the two-way operation, the 7-member team that was on the back of the tactical team was in jeopardy. It wasn't that they hadn't received the retreat order, but they didn't have this opportunity at all--after the little devil found them, he rushed over a dozen or twenty people immediately, and took them to the ground. When advancing halfway, one-third of the troops were allocated to outflank the rear of the 7-man team.

Those who were fast did not give the team commander time to react. Just as he was about to perform an alternate cover tactic to retreat, the little devil’s gunshots came from behind his buttocks, and the bullets hit his side, forcing the 7-member team to search nearby. Suitable cover for last stand.

The ones in front of them are the Japanese army. If it weren't for the lack of artillery shells, all these rough embryos would have been declared dead long ago.

Even if the little devil had no artillery fire, it would be difficult to break free from this small encirclement.

79. Marines never surrender!

Bill Layton looked resolute, without even the slightest bit of fear. Suddenly he got up and pulled the trigger, and the devil who approached 32 meters fell to the ground. His marksmanship was quite sharp and exquisite.

For the entire campaign, he was a new recruit, but for this operation in the rear, Private Bill Layton is not only an excellent veteran, but also an outstanding pioneer, and a captain who always keeps thinking .

It is not only Leiden who can survive in the vanguard team to this day, but also an old man who has been a vanguard since Island N, named McHan, who participated in the battle of Guadalcanal, but Ivan finally Leighton was handed over the duties of the captain of the vanguard, and McHan was assisted.The reason is that Layton's growth rate is terrific. He is short and thin but can withstand tremendous pressure. He is thinking about the way of survival in a desperate situation and at the same time looking for a way to win.

In contrast, although McHain is quite excellent in terms of skills and tactics, even surpassing the sergeant major of K Company, but in a high-pressure environment, he tends to lose his mind and lose his sanity and calmness. He is only suitable for the auxiliary position or sharp knife position. Dodge death after death with great skill, then fight back against the Japanese and drag back your wounded comrades.

Today's incident can well reflect the gap in the position of commander between Layton and McHan. After the latter found out that his side was surrounded, he only had the idea of ​​fighting for one. If it weren't for Layton He had already taken the lead and rushed out to fight the Japanese army to the death.

The task of the broken team is to cover the withdrawal of the large troops. Before taking them away, Yiwen also explained that their task is no different from sending them to death. I received a retreat order from Ivan, but the little devil outflanked them too quickly, and luckily shot and destroyed the communication tool.

Obviously, Ma Run, who stayed behind, could no longer retreat, so it would be better to die heroically, and let the little devil see what a representative of American martial arts is.

In contrast, Layton never gave up any thinking, racking his brains and thinking about how to solve the predicament so that everyone can survive.

Every time before departure, Ivan will repeatedly explain things, one time is not enough twice, three times, four times, he tirelessly reminds... To be honest, Ma Run, who has long regarded himself as a dead person, listens to it Calloused ears, this thing is thick enough to block Ivan's painstaking efforts.

It can be said that no one in the vanguard team understood Ivan's true intentions except Layton.

Every attack of Company K requires life to attack, but it never means making meaningless sacrifices. Most of Ma Run can't understand Ivan's core ideas.

Death is easy, but you can't complete the task, life is difficult but you have a chance to complete the task-the key point is that what Ivan wants is not for you to die, but for you to complete the task alive.

That's why Bill Layton, who understands, can overwhelm McHain, who is top in techniques and tactics, and become the captain of the vanguard. Facing the encirclement, he made the most correct choice at the first time - first shouted to check the ammunition, and then asked to stop any firepower other than machine guns Suppress, and finally probe into the brain to observe the situation and number of Japanese troops around, and see where it can be used as a breakthrough.

The north and south sides are not considered by Layton first. After all, there are too many little devils in that area. How can a few people break out of the encirclement to drill into the arms of the enemy? The remaining two sides seem to be the best way. To the west, as long as you can fight forward about 200 meters, you can get the support of friendly troops.

However, the encirclement speed of the Japanese army was beyond imagination, and Leiden glanced at the number of Japanese troops in the west than in the east.

The reliability of charging forward is not high, after all, when you charge, you will show your back to the more numerous Japanese troops in the west.

In this case, Layton also felt a sense of powerlessness, so he could only use the existing bullet reserves to delay his thinking for a while.

However, the delay was too little for Layton, and the nightmare came when he didn't think of a way to break the game.

"I'm going to run out of bullets—!"

"The bullets of the machine gun have been emptied, and it can no longer be suppressed!"

Layton knew very well that this was already the limit, because even if he brought enough bullets, he would still be able to shoot for more than ten minutes at most. Moreover, with K Company's tactics, there was no need to bring too many bullet reserves. More bullets will increase the load and reduce the flexibility of the pioneers.

As a meat detective, it will inevitably appear under the enemy's gunpoint. Alertness and flexibility are the only way for the pioneers to avoid bullets.

"Captain, what should we do?"

"Rush forward to hand-to-hand combat?"

"There is no other way but to rush up!"

"The large forces have safely evacuated, and our mission has been completed long ago."

Listening to the shouts of his comrades in arms, Layton heaved a long sigh in his heart.

It's not that Layton didn't think that Ivan led the team back, just like he broke through 150 meters alone, as if a god descended from the earth, bringing himself and his brothers from hell to heaven.

It's just that this idea is very unrealistic.

Most of the troops that rushed out were technical soldiers, and most of the weapons and equipment used were to support the infantry to launch an impact, rather than as the main impact force. Moreover, when they evacuated, they dropped all the weapons with empty ammunition for faster speed. Before getting weapons replenishment, how to rush without light artillery even if infantry came to reinforce them?

Fight hard for the 7 people on your side?

牺牲更多的人来拯外>-群/<5|1/@7*８-8}0-７$６>#1@

Help, this thing makes absolutely no sense!

"Captain - Captain ----!!!"

Layton finally spoke: "In any case, we have completed the task, which is quite an honor!"

Unless a miracle happens or God comes in person, I and this group of brothers who have rolled over in the hail of bullets have to die here.

Just after thinking this way, Layton slapped himself severely, because this thought represented giving up, but in the respected Warrant Officer Inswood Ivan, giving up would never be seen!

'What would he do? '

'Could there be a better way? '

Layton couldn't know Ivan's choice in this desperate situation, but he was very clear about his inner thoughts - he didn't want to give up, he really didn't want to give up, and he didn't want to just bring everyone here to die.
