"I won't say anything superfluous. I need you to follow Company A of the 1st Battalion to attack in the direction of Garapan."

"As ordered, sir."

Germany was defeated in World War I and was forced to cede the Northern Mariana Islands, including Saipan, to Japan.

Garapan is considered to be a city built by the Japanese army. It is said that the city does not have much reinforced concrete, and most of them are wooden houses. It has been turned into ruins during the two days of indiscriminate bombing. However, according to the aerial reconnaissance of the Japanese army in that place It appears that forces are being assembled to counterattack the beachhead.

Saipan is the most suitable place for mechanized marching only on both sides of Mount Tapojo, and the southern part of the entire island. The latter has the more important stronghold on the island-Asterite Airport.

Taking off from this airport, the B-29 'Super Fortress' can directly bomb the Japanese mainland.

However, this is not important, because the strategic purpose is determined by Mai Paopao. He wants the island to take off and land Army Aircraft to reach the sky above the Philippines.

"Group G, let's go—!"

"Hu———re———!"

Victory will greatly boost morale, and the recruits have also overcome the physiological reactions that will appear after seeing bloody scenes, but Lawrence Ivan, as the commander, is full of worries.

PS:

Although there are activities, it doesn't mean that you have to hide the goods if you have them, give them to me!

17. The M4 crisis is unsolvable for the Japanese army (remember 918)

The original intention of forming Group G was to recruit the three veterans recognized by Yiwen, improve the survival rate of myself and the whisperers, and smoothly pass through this reincarnation without [novice protection period], and be able to live with it. Lie down, never steal any limelight.

All the preparation and training in advance are for the last moment.

But it's like the plan can't keep up with the changes. Team G is destined to create outstanding contributions in this war-Ivan can lead the team to lie on the beach/bank, the problem is that the little devil's artillery hits it and doesn't care Whether you are a new soldier or a veteran, if you want to avoid artillery fire, you have to move forward, and if you want to move forward, you must destroy the enemies in front of you.

Then there was an endless loop: even if he gave up rewards such as achievements, kills, and heroic performances, Ivan didn't want to put the G team in a dangerous situation, and the more he wanted to escape the danger, the more he needed to promote the team The role, the better you perform, the more you will be valued, and the more you are valued, the more tasks you will undertake.

Backfired, just like today's G group must be divided into two, A group to support the 1st battalion, and B group to support the 2nd battalion.

Yiwen, who had read the information in advance, knew that the little devil would launch two waves of desperate counterattacks tonight and tomorrow night. The information said that the U.S. military was desperately defending it, but it did not say that the 2nd Marine Division would attack Gala on June 6. Pan area.

Yiwen is like a butterfly in the reincarnation world that is not in the world line. In order to survive, he flapped his wings desperately, and then changed the offensive deployment of the 2nd Marine Division - the 6th Marine Division would have been advancing eastward. Send out a 1st Battalion to advance northward.

The 2nd Marine Division that originally attacked the Garapan area was the 2nd Marine Regiment, and it only started to advance northward on June 6 after the stable bridgehead captured Aslit Airport.

'There will be no memorized information for my reference in the next battle. '

While advancing along the traffic trench, Ivan thought about the scale of the Japanese counterattack at night while keeping in mind the turning direction of the traffic trench.

'It's impossible for me to hold my ground at night. After nightfall, I will find an opportunity to sneak to a safe area with Team A.' '

Arriving at the starting position of Company A of the 1st Battalion, Yi Wen, who led Team A of Group G, signaled everyone to stop with tactical sign language, and picked up the M3 binoculars to check the situation in the north.

The ruins of Garapan, about 1.5 kilometers away, were first brought into view. A large number of wooden buildings were destroyed. The flames burned all the combustibles in that area to ashes. The place three to 400 meters south of the target site was covered with bomb craters. It looks like the surface of the moon.

Just looking through the binoculars, I don't think there are little devils guarding that place, and Company A has already dispatched a squad of pioneers to scout out the enemy's situation before the arrival of Team A of Group G.

Compared with the mountains in the east, the north of Yimapingchuan is very suitable for mechanized combat. However, the independent tank battalion of the 2nd Marine Division is still waiting to unload on the transport ship. The tank reinforcements received by the A company of the 1st Battalion are only 6 LVT amphibious tanks.

From the perspective of pure beach landing, the LVT amphibious tank is definitely not bad, but when it lands and starts to advance inland, it is not very interesting-its main gun is not a big problem against little devils, but its armor is too weak. Even the light tanks of the Japanese army can penetrate it.

Of course, the 37 pipes of the LVT tank can also penetrate the armor of the 95 light tank.

There is just one problem - the Japanese tank troops stationed on Saipan not only have 95 light tanks and special type 97 internal fireboats, but also their main 97 medium tanks and [-] modified medium tanks.

No matter how poor the Japanese army is, the Type 97 can be regarded as a slightly available tank. The Type 97 tank is equipped with a short-barreled 57MM gun that is mainly used to support infantry. It once defeated the Chinese army in the Battle of Zhongtiaoshan. The shortcoming of people jumping into the Yellow River to die for their country is that they don't have much armor-piercing ability.

The 97 modified tank is the only Japanese main tank in the Pacific region that can threaten the M4 Sherman (referring to attacking the side). Its main gun is the Kangmi 45MM anti-aircraft gun that was captured after the Nomonkan battle. Red Deer wanted the shell design, and finally came up with a 47MM anti-tank gun. In addition to being used as the main gun of the 97 modified tank, it was also equipped with wheels and transported to the Pacific battlefield to deal with the M3 tank crisis.

可惜M3危机在塞班岛战役的时候就变成无法解决的M4危机——马润的独立坦克营全部鸟枪换炮,以前的M2、M3都丢去东南亚战场,换装清一色的M4A2中型坦克。

"Fortino."

"Yes, sir!"

Yiwen looked back at Ma Run, who was about to be entrusted with an important task, and asked seriously, "Can I trust you?"

Foudino was stunned for a moment when he heard these words, followed by astonishment, and at the last moment, a different kind of brilliance shone in his eyes.

"Resolutely complete the task, if you fail, you can shoot me!" He said loudly.

Yiwen didn't talk about the mission in a hurry, but said softly: "This mission is related to the safety of all members of Team A. If we fail, we may die here."

"Aye aye, sir!" Fordino's eyes only had firmness and a look that Ivan became more and more familiar with.

'How does it feel...'

That's right, Ivan found that this guy's eyes resembled a loyal dog he raised as a child.

"The task is very simple. Remember the intricate terrain of the traffic trench before sunset. We must rely on you to evacuate to a safe area when necessary."

Foudino did not question the mission, but nodded solemnly: "I promise to complete the mission."

"Now you are allowed to leave the team. It's too early, don't worry, just meet us before the fall of the premise of ensuring your own safety."

"Aye aye, sir!"

Foudino took the order to leave the team, and Ivan noticed that Harry's gaze hesitated, but he didn't say much.

"Come on, Company A is about to launch an attack."

While continuing to advance along the traffic trench, 6 LVT tanks had already set off, and the two platoons of Company A jumped out of the traffic trench from left to right to form a skirmish line and advanced towards the Garapan area. This is the most standard infantry tactic of the US military.

The remaining platoon serves as a reserve team, and the weapon platoon follows slowly, keeping a distance of about 150 meters from the front-line tanks and infantry. Two M2 60mm mortar squads and M1919 heavy machine gun squads each follow an infantry The platoon provides the necessary firepower.

When Ivan brought Yazi and Harry to the starting position, the LVT tank had advanced almost 300 meters.

The deputy company commander of Company A remained in the position, ready to lead the reserve team up to deal a fatal blow to the Japanese army at any time. He learned that the vanguard was very close to the Garapan area and had not yet been attacked, nor had the enemy been detected.

When the LVT tank advanced about 400 meters, Lieutenant Shock, the deputy commander of Company A, moved forward with the reserve team.

"If possible, I really want to stay here."

Looking at the backs of the people who had already walked out, Ivan said to the veteran beside him, "Company A has no flank cover, even if it goes north, the undulating Mount Tapocho area lies to the east."

"Maybe the Japanese army's strength is mainly on the Chalan Noka line of defense." Harry said, "In any case, I don't think such a reckless adjustment of the battle plan to attack Garapan is a good thing."

"Didn't you do this because of lack of water?" Yaz showed the water bottle in his hand.

Team G is not short of water. So far, there is still 30% of the water reserve in the first kettle, all thanks to Ivan’s instructions before the battle-it’s cool to pour water, but you have to fight if you can’t replenish the water in time If you drink water like that, you won't be able to last too long, and you will soon experience more serious dehydration.

"Get ready to go."

As soon as Ivan's voice fell, he heard an explosion. It was an LVT tank that had left a distance of 650 meters.

The huge flame not only turned the entire tank into a small mushroom cloud, but also swept through the three or four soldiers who were coordinating around them. After waiting for a few seconds, Ivan saw the turret falling to the ground.

'Well, there is no need to start. '

"Yaz contacted the navy." Ivan immediately roared, "Harry, look for the brat's anti-tank gun firing position—!"

18. Jade Smashing Charge at noon on DDA

Even the 37mm anti-tank gun is enough to penetrate the LVT tank. It was originally a tank built for beach landing, mainly to help infantry block bullets and small-caliber mortar shells, and then use the 37mm main gun to clear some obstacles to infantry advance. Obstacles, if they have to be used to advance inland, they will end up being pierced by anti-tank guns.

Of course, it is rare to be killed directly by being killed.

Harry used the M3 binoculars to look at the direction of Mount Tapocho, while Ivan focused his attention on the direction of Garapan. The armor of the LVT tank is very weak, and even if the anti-tank gun is placed on the front instead of the side, it can penetrate it in one shot.

After an LVT tank exploded and swallowed three or four Ma Run, the Ma Run who were still in contact with the enemy immediately looked for the crater and lay down, and the rest of the LVT tanks attacking the Garapan area also stopped.

Then start fighting back.

From Ivan's point of view, none of them knew what they were fighting back, and they all fired at places where enemies might appear.

Perhaps it was because the LVT tank that was killed just now was attacked from the side, so the five 5mm pipes fired HE bombs in the direction of Mount Tabocho without exception.

But they seemed to attack the wrong target. Another LVT tank was attacked by an anti-tank gun. The armor-piercing projectile easily tore through the armor of the tank, but it did not cause a martyrdom. After a few seconds, a crew member was seen crawling come out.

This time, Ivan saw clearly where the anti-tank guns attacked Ma Run's tanks - above the ruins in the Garapan area.

The little devils were much more courageous than imagined. They dragged the anti-tank guns directly to the ruins and used everything around them to camouflage anti-tank positions.

In fact, in Yiwen's eyes, the Japanese anti-tank gun position was just a small spot, and it would have been hard to find if it weren't for the flames when the armor-piercing projectiles were sprayed.

"Yaz, contact the Navy as quickly as possible!"

"Aye aye, sir!"

As soon as the words fell, another LVT was penetrated, and Ivan saw a flash of fire hit the side armor of the tank.

"Crossfire!?" Ivan shouted after putting down the binoculars, "Harry, did you find it!?"

"found it!"

"Tell Yaz the coordinates!"

"Yes--!"

The Japanese army deployed anti-tank artillery positions in the Garapan area and the west side of Mount Tapocho, while Ma Run's LVT tanks were in the center of crossfire. It may take less than 10 minutes for the remaining 4 tanks to be destroyed.

Naturally, Ivan would not run out of the position. As the commander of Group G, who made great achievements in landing on the beach, he was very clear about his responsibilities. However, before the arrival of the naval artillery, the Ma Runs of the A Company of the 1st Battalion were arranged by the little devils in Garapan area, area on the west side of Mount Tapocho with intensive artillery coverage.

In just half a minute, Company A could no longer be seen in Ivan's field of vision—of course, this did not mean that they were quickly wiped out, but that the smoke and dust produced by the artillery fire had already enveloped the contact operation area.

At this point, about 2 minutes had passed before the sound of shells whizzing past was heard in the sky, but the impact point could only be confirmed in the direction of Mount Tapojo, and the Garapan area was completely invisible—unless Evan turned on [Vision Enhancement II] now.

The skill description is a distance of 500 meters. It is not clear whether it can be blessed by multiples of the M3 telescope.

In fact, it is worth trying once if you think about it carefully, but the butterfly Yiwen has already disrupted the process of the landing day of the Battle of Saipan in history. He has no idea whether it is developing in a good direction or in a bad direction. Too much to rely on data collected beforehand.

'Skills, it's better to hold them. '

When he made up his mind to ignore Ma Run of Company A of the 1st Battalion, Harry shouted angrily from the side: "The Japanese army came down from the west side of Mount Tapocho, at least the size of a squadron. !"

"My little devil!"

Ivan believed that this was definitely a roundabout attack thought out by the middle and senior officers of the devils, but they were stuck at the time when Company A's attack was covered by Japanese artillery fire. Their goal was very clear - to regain the position where Ivan was staying, and then to Move south to attack the left flank of the entire landing force.

The strength of a mere squadron is definitely not enough, but as long as the position is captured and held for two or three hours, the Japanese army will continuously mobilize reinforcements to enter the position, and then compress the width of the battlefield of the landing troops, and even rush out to entangle with the landing U.S. troops Together, let the air and sea advantages it should be proud of become a fart.

Ivan's wings flapped the left wing of the entire landing force. It quickly broke through and developed to the two wings. In a little more than three hours, the overall front advanced to a depth of about 500 meters, which gave the regiment/division level officers The huge confidence is not satisfied with just expanding the depth to 1000 meters today, but also preparing to expand the width of the battlefield with superior troops and firepower.

As a result, Company A, which had just set off, was under heavy artillery fire from the Japanese army, and no one knew their casualties. The Japanese squadron might have launched an attack to regain the lost deep position, but it accidentally hit the enemy who was originally defending the position. Company A attacked in the direction of Garapan.

"Yaz, tell the commander of the 1st Battalion what happened here."

Ivan, who remained calm, immediately made a decision, "Harry, you follow me and call Fordino, and quickly evacuate this position."

"Aye aye, sir!"

The three of them took action immediately, and when they retreated 80 meters to the south, they happened to meet Foudino who was memorizing the terrain.

"Go, Foudino!"

"Ah good!"

Don't ask the reason, just perform the task, Ivan likes this kind of veteran.

"Sir, the lieutenant colonel asked us to find a way to hold on for 10 minutes. He has sent the 2nd platoon of Company C over to support him. Be sure to connect A back!"
