Hardcore ruthless starts in the Pacific

The reincarnation system's broadcast not only allowed Ivan to earn points, but also let him know the situation in front of him.

"All focus, the little devil hasn't completely given up yet!"

Following his roar, both Ma Run of Group G and Ma Run of the guard platoon, without exception, increased their vigilance, stayed at their posts and pointed their guns in the direction of the enemy.

Ivan quickly ran to the M2 60mm mortar team in the guard platoon and shouted: "Throw a round of flares—!"

A few seconds later, the elite immediately fired three flares, extending the visibility to the south of the position from more than 20 meters to 300 meters.

Ivan looked carefully with a telescope and found nothing unusual.

"Continue playing a round towards the west beach."

"Choo Choo Choo--!"

Ivan checked with a telescope, except for the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, he did not see any moving medium or large creatures.

"Firing flares every 20 minutes, to the south and west."

In fact, it is best to have a few destroyers come and put searchlights on positions that are easy to be attacked by the Japanese army. In this way, the little devil can only attack from the east side or detour from the north side. Currently, the 4th Marine Division is gathering reinforcements. It is very easy. To poke the eyes of the Japanese army who tried to regain the position again.

'There was no infantry attack, only artillery strikes to worry about. '

According to the establishment of a current independent mixed brigade, the infantry under its jurisdiction is no longer a regiment but an infantry brigade. In terms of long-range fire support, it mainly relies on 75mm mountain artillery, field artillery, and the 92mm artillery that caused the US military to suffer in the Pacific War. infantry.

'If it is found that there are four 4mm howitzers on this position, and there are sufficient ammunition reserves, the little devil will definitely fire. '

It has been more than half an hour since the two squadrons of the Japanese army were defeated. Ivan roughly calculated that if the little devil really found out that the position was no longer an infantry position but an artillery position, it would take about 2 hours. Do the shelling, try to destroy the 105 howitzers here.

Because their degree of mechanization is not very high, most of the artillery assigned to the Japanese independent mixed brigade is a shrunken version of the artillery, which is definitely not good in terms of power and range, but it has the advantage of light weight and does not require tractors and the like. It can be dragged and pulled, and can be deployed by livestock or even manpower.

"Cheer up, the Japanese army may bombard this position, and everyone puts life-saving as the first priority."

Yiwen warned all Ma Run while patrolling the position.

With the launch of the fifth wave of flares, the No. 1 artillery position was not only not bombarded by the Japanese army, nor was it attacked by the infantry. Ivan was barely relieved.

At this moment, the sound of the battle on the entire coastline is much quieter, which means that the Ma Runs have defeated the Japanese army's Yusha charge - if it wasn't for the little devil who suddenly appeared behind the US army by surprise, I am afraid that the chaotic situation tonight would not have occurred .

"Choo Choo Choo--!"

While the sixth wave of flares was flying into the air, Ivan also saw at least one company of Ma Run appear behind the position.

Soldiers belonging to the 4th Marine Division arrived at the No. 1 artillery position as reinforcements.

"The reinforcements are here!"

"The reinforcements are here!"

The inspiring shouts resounded through the battlefield, and Ma Run in the guard platoon immediately began to cheer.

"Hu———re———!"

Ivan immediately asked Yaz to report the situation to Major Crowley, and got a new order 1 minute later.

"Group G will stay at Artillery Position No. 1 to rest, and will cooperate with the Army's 9th Division to attack Aslit Airport at 27:[-] tomorrow morning."

The original plan has not changed, but the crisis that may arise tonight has been resolved... Ivan doesn't dislike such a task, because it doesn't take much effort to harvest points.

Points are equal to drawing skills, the more skills he has, the more he can survive in the follow-up cruel island battle...even the survival life of the soldier who has to go changes from a few days to a few hours - like a strangler The Eastern Front is like a meat machine.

"Reply to the major, Sergeant Lawrence Irving."

Immediately after Ivan finished speaking, he reminded the G team members to rest in place.

A company belonging to the 4th Marine Division brought some supplies, mainly fresh water and food, and fought against the hungry and thirsty guard platoon all night, and the G team immediately began to feast on it.

After eating and drinking, Ma Run, the 2nd Marine Division who had worked so hard, immediately found a place to rest. No one fell asleep faster than Yiwen, and snored in just two or three minutes.

Maybe it's because tonight's positional warfare is not like the mountain warfare of the last reincarnation, or the jungle warfare of the last reincarnation. Ivan didn't feel much mental fatigue, and he didn't even have any nightmares in his deep sleep.

Outside & group &

They were woken up before 6:16 am on June 8, and all the artillery companies that escaped last night returned to their positions.

[Emergency side mission completed]

Ivan rubbed his bloodshot eyes and yawned. After washing his face with precious fresh water, he regained his energy. However, he could see Ma Run, the guard who was woken up, staring at the army with an angry face, but when he was evacuating Without saying a word, it seems that Major Crowley has explained a lot of things that need to be explained clearly.

"Gollum...gollum..."

After drinking two sips of water, the naval guns on the sea began shelling the airport in the southern area of ​​Saipan, covering every area that might be a Japanese military position photographed by the aerial reconnaissance plane.

"After washing up, take 10 minutes to solve the breakfast, and then we will set off."

After Yiwen gave the order, he got up and understood the current battle situation.

The Japanese army in the sneak attack last night suffered heavy losses, let alone 1000 to [-] corpses left in the beach area to the west. In addition to the fighting in the south, it is estimated that more than [-] Japanese soldiers were killed or wounded.

The lost positions of the U.S. military were also regained at 6 o'clock in the morning.

Today's combat plan is for the 2nd Marine Division to ensure the bridgehead on the north side, and to fire a few shots and fire a few shots to contain the Japanese army on Mount Tapocho. Landed on the south coast of Ban Island and attacked Aslit Airport.

PS:

I went to review the God of War of the Volunteer Army and "The enemy dared to fight back against me instead of surrendering." I found that what I wrote was still too conservative. It was only when the Japanese army fought in 1944 that it became like this.

33. Japanese Artillery: How did the Yankees hit me in the face? (4K)

"Boom—Boom—!"

Every time a shell lands, the huge explosion will cause a casualty to the stubborn Japanese army. Ivan likes this kind of war very much-the two sides line up their troops in an upright manner, and the decisive battle will be on the south coast of Saipan Island. The artillery support of the offensive side is so limited Just a little stronger.

Before noon, 27% of the army's 70th Division had landed, occupying an absolutely favorable terrain, and the forward even entered the airport.

Every call of artillery fire from Team G can always destroy one firepower point after another. Ivan even speculated that several points that might be Japanese artillery positions were compared with the map based on the impact points of the shells fired by the Japanese army. The limited artillery of the independent mixed 47th brigade was taken away.

The surviving little devil artillerymen are going crazy—Yanke, you don’t talk about martial arts, I fired half a base of thirty or forty shells, do you need to return hundreds of shells?

The commander of the Japanese independent mixed 47th Brigade watched the sand table from the shaky command post. No one, including the staff officer, could answer Major General Tian Yuan's question.

"How did the US military discover our artillery positions?"

Several minutes have passed since the questioning, and every staff officer and adjutant in the command post lowered their heads and remained silent. The dust from the saturation bombing of the United States sprinkled on their brand new military uniforms, quickly revealing their true colors.

"Tell me, who can tell me!"

Major General Tian Yuan slapped the sand table and cursed angrily: "You bastards, can anyone tell me the situation at the forward position!?"

The telephone line was blown up, the communication equipment failed, and the war started only one morning, and the independent brigade under the brigade could only contact the reserve team.

The situation on the front line is unclear. Major General Tian Yuan needs to know accurate information whether he was defeated by the US military or held on to his position. After all, there are not enough troops on hand, and the reserve team cannot be easily mobilized.

"Your Excellency, Major General, don't be impatient, the messengers have been dispatched."

A staff officer whispered comfortingly: "The army of the Empire of Japan is invincible, and the US military cannot easily break through the position."

The so-called spiritual victory method is like this.

"Do you think I'm an idiot?"

Major General Tian Yuan went up and grabbed the staff officer by the collar, and said viciously: "The artillery position has been destroyed, and there is no artillery in the forward position that can stop the US army!?"

Now, not even a beast dared to propose the method of spiritual victory.

"Trash, it's all trash!"

The commanders of the 47th Brigade were just cursing and suffering in the command post. They could only learn something from the retreating soldiers. Every change in the sand table meant that they were about to be destroyed.

I'm afraid that when it's time to commit suicide, these senior military officers don't understand how their artillery positions were destroyed so quickly... In the deduction, the coordinates will be revealed only after repelling at least 5 waves of US attacks.

......

......

Before sunset, the Army's 27th Division had already occupied half of the airport and outlying positions. Team G, who stayed at the 1.5th line, successfully helped the Army successfully complete the set combat objectives, and the casualties were far lower than the initial estimate.Compared with Ma Run's button-up, the army division commander mentioned a mouth-if we have such a communication team to help us reduce casualties, the Silver Star Medal?At least it must be a Distinguished Service Cross... The Medal of Honor is not impossible to consider.

When Ivan heard this, he could spread his hands.

Translation Translation What is the American Army that the majority of netizens call second-class/third-class people, but actually always treat themselves as first-class people?

Of course, most of the generals' words were casual.Anyway, you belong to the Marine Corps. I’ve been bragging here for a long time to apply for the second-class medals that the Army can obtain, or even the highest honor. You have to be in the Army first, and then consider whether you want to fulfill your promise.

What Ivan is more concerned about is the side missions that will end on June 6.

【Destroy the Japanese firepower point】

【Light Machine Gun*10】

[heavy machine gun * 6]

【Throwing gun*12】

【Small caliber artillery *4】

[Medium caliber artillery *8]

【Large Caliber Artillery*5】

These things are all points. There is no need for Yiwen to lead the team deep into the enemy's rear to establish an observation post. As long as he thinks there is a Japanese firepower point, he can directly call for 105 howitzer support. After two or three minutes, a large wave of steel bombs will roar past.

Although this artillery company affiliated to the army fled without a fight in the early hours of the morning, if it weren't for the Ma Runs who rushed to wipe their buttocks today, they would have to grab a few deputies to take responsibility, but it cannot be denied that they were fully trained before the war. The 105mm howitzer basically Which can point to hit.

In terms of the efficiency of points acquisition, it is basically equivalent to the number of people... In contrast, Ivan wants this kind of comfortable task more. After all, the little devil's naval aviation and army aviation did not provide a single support in the whole day. , A small amount of artillery only hits the first-line assault troops. Isn't it uncomfortable to stay in a safe area and smile to get points?

When the mission was coming to an end, Ivan said to his subordinates: "Rest more and recharge your spirits. The real battle has not yet begun."

Regarding the information collected in advance, we cannot always rely on it, but there is no need to discard it directly.The most difficult part of the battle on Saipan was basically the few days of the landing day. The latter cannot be said to be garbage time, but it is not particularly difficult to fight.

Yiwen said this to warn his subordinates, don't think that if the bridgehead is stable and the airport is about to be taken down, there will be no worries, and anything can happen on the battlefield.

For example, the Japanese army organized a counterattack just after nightfall, concentrating in the direction of Chalannoka and Garapan. However, for the U.S. military who had already suffered once, the counterattack tonight was not only futile but also suffered heavy casualties.

Since he did not receive any additional orders from Major Crowley, Ivan still stayed with the army. However, when he woke up at 17:3 am on the 2th, he heard that the army who entered and left the battalion headquarters said that the Japanese army had gathered tanks to launch an attack. At first, he was very worried about himself. Did the G team have to be pulled over by Major Crowley to guide the artillery to bombard the tanks, but after half an hour, they learned that the 4nd Marine Division and the [-]th Marine Division had built a solid defensive position before nightfall.

The first line of defense is anti-tank trenches, mines, and barbed wire, with a small number of infantry as guard posts. The front end of the second line of defense is the position dug by infantry. The central part concentrates all M4 Sherman tanks, armored vehicles, and anti-tank guns. It is an M3 self-propelled artillery, forming a fairly dense firepower network.

The news of the Japanese army's defeat was received before dawn, and the Japanese army's counterattack in just over an hour became a joke.

On the morning of the 17th, Team G received an order to return to the 2rd Battalion, 6th Regiment, 3nd Marine Division. In the afternoon of that day, the 4th Marine Division used a company of Shermans to break through the frontal Japanese positions. It is expected to advance to the east coast to cut off the Japanese army tomorrow morning. North-South connection.

"The Silver Star Medal has been confirmed."

There was no trace of fatigue on the face of the officer in front of him, and the enthusiasm in his eyes was even more intense than the last time we met.

"But I want to remind you of something—about that night in the battery."

Ivan nodded: "Including me, nothing happened to Group G."

"Ah, very good."

Major Crowley said quite satisfied: "There are some characters that you and I can't afford, the same... This is also a nomination certificate. If everything goes well, the people over there will recommend you to enter the Army Military Academy—— West Point is not out of the question."

Evan was silent.

"A large amount of supplies have landed, so take a good rest and relax during this time."

"As ordered, sir."

After leaving the command post, Ivan thought to himself—how much background and energy is that?

Many people may think that West Point Military Academy is a joke. After all, Mai Paopao came out of this military academy, and even went back to become the principal... In fact, the military academy has a long history, and the officers it trains are definitely in the army. There are many famous people, such as Eisenhower, Pershing, and Patton.

If Mai Paopao hadn't lost face in the Korean War, the military academy's reputation would not have been lamented by domestic netizens.

Because West Point's admissions process is very rigorous, the acceptance rate is quite low - only 100 students are accepted for every 10 applicants, which means you need to have an outstanding application to be considered.A high EQ means how good the student is, and a low EQ means that the student has a good father.

Ivan sneered at the olive branch thrown by the guy with an amazing family background in the army.

Reincarnated people are destined not to be eligible for military academy, and can only use their blood and lives on one battlefield after another to hone their skills and exercise their judgment.

"Finally I can rest for three days."

The ground troops had to wait until June 6th to attack again. According to the data, every day since then, they have continuously captured the Japanese positions, causing huge casualties to the animals, until the famous scene on Saipan [Long Live Cliff] ] declared the end of the battle.

The most difficult period has passed, and the next step is to earn a few heads and a few, and just wait until the end of the battle.

As soon as Ivan returned to the camp specially arranged by Major Crowley for Team G, he heard that hot water and a new set of training uniforms would be provided to the special operations team who had made great achievements tonight, and their lunch and dinner would be different from the usual Ma Run said that it was food specially provided by the navy for lieutenants.

"You can look forward to it."

Not only delicious food, but also a hot bath, which is many times more comfortable than the cruel environment of Guadalcanal.Yiwen still can't forget a set of training uniforms that he wore for dozens of days without changing, and the innermost underwear had an inexplicable smell when he took them off. The smell can be smelled by people hundreds of meters away from the shoes...it can kill people like a gas bomb.

The rough guys in the tent also smiled happily because of Major Crowley's arrangement.

As long as things are done well, the immediate superiors of Group G will always treat them well and arrange everything within their capacity.
