"Use machine guns to push back the Japanese soldiers on the flanks of those tanks! Fire! Fire! Don't be afraid! "In the trenches, the American commander commanded loudly.
Beside him, an American machine gunner, who was operating a Browning heavy machine gun, desperately held the machine gun and aimed it at the side of a Japanese Leopard tank that was moving forward.
On the side of that tank, there were standing Japanese soldiers who were attacking. The Japanese soldiers, armed with rifles with bayonets and screaming fiercely, followed the tanks.
"Bump Bump!" The fire of the Browning heavy machine gun was very ferocious, and as soon as it was fired, a rain of bullets was formed.
The power of this machine gun was enormous, and the design was quite good - the United States continued to use the successor model of this machine gun until the XXI century (and it was not significantly changed).
The terrifying rain of bullets enveloped the Japanese soldiers at once, and they also discovered that there was a dangerous American machine gun position hidden on their side.
The Americans did not open fire on this machine-gun position, so the Japanese did not detect this threat on the flank.
As a result, the Browning heavy machine gun, which had not been fired, began to strafe, and the Japanese attacking force was immediately stopped.
"Clank!" A volley of bullets pierced through the Japanese soldiers, and in a bloody rain, hit the side skirts of the Japanese Leopard tank.
Because the thickness was weakened, a pothole was immediately left on the skirt of the side panels of this tank.
A group of Japanese soldiers collapsed next to their tanks, allowing the Leopard to run over their corpses and begin to turn slowly.
"Boom!" A grenade landed on the tank's side, sending a large cloud of dirt and corpses flying at once. The Americans' shells almost hit the tank, which scared the surrounding Japanese troops into a cold sweat.
"Where's our tank?" In the mud, an American soldier crawled out of the trench, poked his head out to look at the bravado Japanese tank, and shouted in mourning.
Beside him, an American soldier with a Springfield rifle didn't bother to answer his question, so he could only fire a single bullet and retreat into the trench to reload his rifle.
Not all American soldiers were able to equip the M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle, for the same reason that the Germans were unable to complete the popularization of the G43 semi-automatic rifle in a short period of time.
The old rifles still exist in the army, and the new ones can only replace the old equipment little by little.
The current individual weapons and equipment of the United States are almost still based on the M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle, with a small number of Thomson submachine guns, as well as Browning light machine guns.
Such a configuration is almost the standard configuration of the United States in World War II, but it is a pity that the U.S. Marine Corps, which was raised by the stepmother, cannot change its outfit at all to catch up with the army of its own son.
The Marines were still armed with the measly Springfield rifles, but some of them were also reequipped with M1 Garands.
Even so, the firepower of the American troops is still stronger than that of the Japanese army, after all, Japan's individual weapons were notoriously "cheating" during World War II.
In the high-intensity offensive operations, the various problems exposed by the heavy machine gun firepower have not been solved, and the design ideas of Japanese firearms, including the Type 92 heavy machine gun, have not been able to catch up with the United States and Germany at the same time.
The American side suffered heavy losses, and the Japanese side suffered equally heavy losses, and in some special areas, the two sides even engaged in horrific hand-to-hand combat to fight for some unimportant positions.
It seems that both sides are fighting at this moment, and they stubbornly invest their troops and swear not to retreat, and everyone is very obsessed with this position that does not even have a name.
The United States has invested 5 battalions and more than 3,500 soldiers here, and the Japanese army has invested a lot of combat troops, almost 3,000 people.
Moreover, these 3,000 Japanese soldiers were supported by more than 30 Japanese tanks of various types - including five Leopard tanks.
On this land, the United States also invested a large number of tanks, half of the dozens of tanks were destroyed, but the remaining tanks are still holding on to the battle, without the slightest intention of retreating.
"Boom!" With an explosion, a Japanese Leopard tank was finally destroyed, and it was not an American tank that destroyed this Japanese tank, but a dozen American infantrymen.
These American soldiers, who fought to the end, regardless of life and death, fully demonstrated the ferocious style of American soldiers who are not afraid of death.
At least, in the era of World War II, American soldiers were not afraid of death, and they were more afraid of the word "losing" than death!
After several American soldiers were killed, someone finally managed to get close to a Leopard and drop grenades and bombs on the exhaust grille behind the Leopard.
Of course, it was the early gasoline engine model of the Leopard tank that was sold to Japan, so the explosion near the engine ignited the Leopard tank at once.
The explosion destroyed the tank, paralyzing it on its position, and the Japanese inside were burned to death until the end, without lifting the hatch over their heads.
As if to blow the horn of victory, the American army then achieved a series of victories: they successfully hit another Leopard tank with the 75mm gun on the M3lee, preventing the Japanese from continuing to advance.
Then, immediately afterward, another Leopard tank was paralyzed in position due to a malfunction, unable to move any further.
The Japanese offensive immediately collapsed, and Yamashita had to give the battle order to stop the counterattack and turn to the defense.
The U.S. Landing Force, the 1st Army Corps, and the 1st Marine Corps worked together to hold out to the end, holding their defensive positions.
The Japanese Leopard tank, which was paralyzed on the beach due to a malfunction, was eventually blown up by the Japanese tankers, leaving the American enemy unscathed.
At this point in the battle, both sides tacitly stopped continuing the attack, the gunfire on the battlefield stopped, and everything fell silent.
It's like two wounded beasts, adjusting their state before fighting for their lives, staring at each other and licking their wounds.
Yamashita Fengfu carefully prepared his defense, waiting for the Americans to strike a counterattack. The United States, on its part, is counting losses and filling its shaky defenses.
Soon, a new round of attacks and defenses began in the afternoon, this time on the side of the attack, which was replaced by the United States.
The 1st Army, under the command of Major General Thompson, threw in the strength of an infantry regiment and broke through the Japanese lines from the front, extending its tentacles to the plains behind the Japanese troops.
Yamashita also had to shrink his defensive line, give way to the beachhead, and retreat behind the second line of defense.
