The bloody battle of Ninety-Six was earth-shattering

Yamamoto Fifty-six suffered a big loss this time, not only did the heavy aircraft carrier pass the fire again, but the Dragon Mosaic also sank, and the damage was very powerful this time, and it didn't make the deck bulge again, but the elite pilots lost a lot, plus the people on the Zuihe talked about the magic color change, if he didn't make some achievements, his morale would soon fall to the freezing point.

The battle continued, and the next day, Captain Victor of the bomber squadron with twelve bombers blew up and sank the Shentong and the destroyer Muzuki 240 kilometers from Kuah Island, and their leader, Yorizo Tanaka, was buried at the bottom of the sea, but ran away from the destroyer Yangyan.

The next day was the world of US planes, one after another planes went out to patrol, bombing, the farthest flew to Shortland Island near Rabaul, of course, the devil's anti-aircraft fire was not covered, before the plane arrived, the devil's artillery fire bombed the sky, Rabaul's land-based planes also took off one after another, resisting the strong enemy within the scope of artillery protection.

In fact, Ma Yilong and they are just going to harass them, and they will spend more devil shells, how can they fight with them. The purpose is to make the devil's plane dare not come out to bomb the airport during the day.

The transportation of the Tokyo Express has become more difficult, and there are eleven long-range fighters at Hendry Airport, and they can only sneak away after sending off the soldiers with a few shots to show their presence, otherwise they will not be able to escape from the range of the fighters.

Every day it was terrible hot during the day, and at night there were devils sneaking over and shooting and throwing bullets. It seems that the devils on the island have learned guerrilla tactics well, and they fight to kill a dozen people every day to make you sleep badly!

Soon after the Great Air War, some American soldiers began to suffer from malaria and dysentery, all of which were treated by the chloroqui brought by Kane and the herbs collected by the Chinese soldiers.

But the Marines and the cactus pilots were in good spirits, and they braved the scorching heat to build a number of hangars three kilometers from the airport, as well as two additional runways.

After Nimitz learned that Kane participated in the last air battle, his first order was to strictly prohibit Brigadier Kane from getting on the fighter again, because the probability of the pilot's sacrifice was still quite high at this time, and Kane was also very idle, not allowed to play with fighter jets, we still have helicopters!

Although the remnants of the Ichiki detachment were starving, the supplies they asked for turned out to be a large number of oil drums, half of which were filled with food, and floated to the shore by the waves.

The devil found that the amount of this small mine is too small, and it can detonate the mine by rolling it with an oil drum, and as for the place where there are trees or is not good to roll, he picks up a long stick and sweeps it, the method is really good, but it is too tiring.

During the day, several helicopters were dispatched to patrol along the line, and when they found that there were trees cut down or paths, they sprinkled some small butterflies, and at night the devils rolled buckets and waved sticks to clear mines. The two sides cooperated quite tacitly, and sometimes the helicopter could also find one or two teams of sappers in the jungle, so they used large machine guns to sweep them, and then the devils continued to do their own work after being equipped with a 13-mm high plane, without interfering with each other.

Every day, both sides on the island kept increasing their troops, and in order to ensure the smooth flow of the transportation routes, the US military deployed convoys at important points along the way, but at the end of the month, the Japanese submarine was too many, and they used torpedoes to damage the Saratoga aircraft carrier, and then took advantage of the chaos to blow up and sink the old Wasp aircraft carrier, and suddenly the US military's combat effectiveness dropped to a new level.

The devils are now too strong in the sea and air, and they have begun to blockade the transportation lines of Kuah Island with planes and warships, and the US Navy, whose strength has been greatly reduced, does not dare to go to war, and the island has begun to run out of food.

Once again, Kane's Marine Commandos showed a talent for finding food, eating from the sea. The various shellfish on the beach were sorted out a little in the hands of the Chinese soldiers, and it was a delicious feast, which caused Lao Fan to complain that if there were no Chinese chefs in the future, his team members would not know how to live!

Americans don't eat fish, so they have to give them all shellfish, but they are also hungry and full. Kane and Liu Jun led the Marine Commando and rowed a small raft or rubber boat to the sea to fish.

There are a lot of unpolluted fish on the seashore all year round, and they can't catch any hairtail, eel, cod, salmon, etc., and Liu Jun even took the shit luck and got a bluefin golden gun of more than 50 kilograms. Almost overturned the little raft.

Kane sighed as he ate sashimi and that there was no mustard, no old godfather. The next day, when they found a school of mackerel that couldn't catch Ben, Kane told everyone to back off, summoned a helicopter with a big brick, and threw a few deep bombs into the sea.

After the "boom" several water columns rose, a large area of the sea was floating with more than a dozen catties of mackerel, everyone hurriedly fished up to see, there were five or six tons!

The mackerel that could not be eaten for a while had to be transported to the ice factory, and everyone smiled when they saw the sign at the door, "Tojo Ice Factory, the American boss is also in charge!" ”

Supplies finally arrived, this time with a large number of troops and supplies delivered at the same time, hundreds of M3 light tanks, dozens of Tom 155 howitzers, and dozens of Kane's trailers also went ashore.

Everyone gathered around Kane's equipment and discussed for a long time as if looking at the Western scenery, and shook their heads one after another, except for the double-barreled large machine gun car, which was a bit of an eye-catcher, the others were clowns, what automatic howitzers, farmer guns, they were not worth mentioning. There is no sense of majesty at all.

After reconnaissance, the elder Fan and Executive Gerald believed that Coral Ridge was the only way for the enemy to prepare for the attack, and Kane asked the assault battalion to defend, and after some discussion, several people agreed to let the Marine assault battalion be on the first line, and explained that if the enemy was not defeated, they could retreat to the second line of defense, that is, behind Edson's first battalion.

No matter how Kane listened, he felt that Liu Jun's pre-war mobilization was like provoking, this guy was not an instructor at all, I saw him walking back and forth in front of the Marine Corps with an iron microphone, and a stream of Chinese with Cantonese flavor burst out.

"Now, in North Africa, Mustache and Lao Qiu are fighting, and even the war in the Strait has stopped, and the British are rushing to the oil fields with their lives on wooden planes! Fortunately, our wooden plane flies fast, and the mustachioed Mei 109 plane and the British's Spitfire fight is so powerful! It is said that hundreds of pilots are killed and injured every day! ”

Feeling a little crooked, Liu Jun began to change the topic, "In short, under the bombardment of our wooden planes, the mustache can only produce a little oil every day, but just this little bit of oil, let their tank army move, and directly beat the bearded Leningrad, although everyone loses, but unfortunately the beard can't bear it anymore, I heard that he is ready to move from Moscow, that guy~~"

Kane coughed, and Liu Jun came back to his senses, "All in all, in short, there may be 3,000 devils on the other side who are ready to come and attack, although we only have more than 500 people, but Brigadier General Kane's request is to leave him with 2,000, my idea is not to let them go back, do you have the confidence to kill them all?" ”

"Kill them, kill little Japan, kill little Japan!" After the devils occupied Singapore a while ago, they carried out a brutal massacre of the Chinese who had not been evacuated in time from the entire Nanyang, resulting in the loss of more than 100,000 lives and the displacement of millions of overseas Chinese.

It was late at night, everyone was lying in the trenches, some chatting, some eating snacks, not afraid at all, and they had all exercised these days. At one o'clock, there was a sudden light behind the coral ridge in the distance, and the observer shouted "Shelling!" ”

Within seconds, everyone flashed into the anti-artillery hole made of giant wood, and Kane praised it, this speed is amazing.

"Huh~~" a long tail sound came to the top of the head, and then the "boom boom" cannonball that could not be distinguished hit the ground heavily, this is the devil's heavy artillery, 150 mm grenade every shot shocked people's chests and jumped wildly, everyone half squatted in the anti-artillery hole, and opened their mouths to shout if they couldn't stand it, so as to reduce the double pressure of psychology and physiology!

A few minutes later, the American artillery outside the airport also began to return fire, and the shells of both sides pierced through each other in the air, and the blazing ballistics illuminated the air in mid-air, and some shells even collided in the air, bursting into dazzling fire.

Although the devils occupied the terrain, it was a pity that there were not many shells, and under the counterattack of the massive shells of the American artillery, they quickly converged and shifted their positions.

There is a stream more than 300 meters in front of the blocking position on the west side of the airport, which is not waist-deep, and to the left of the assault battalion is the position of the first battalion of the Fifth Marine Regiment, but they are facing some hills, and it is estimated that the devils are also restraining even if they attack.

There is a shallow area of shallow water that can be walked on the left, about fifty meters wide, and there are also several paths in the creek directly opposite, which is also the main defensive target of the heavy machine gun company of the assault battalion, and as for the downstream, if the devils detour from the beach, they will be waiting for them by countless mines.

Behind him, there were artillery positions of the 1st Marine Division, with 155 and 105 guns ready to fire. So, Kane is confident in the positional defence.

Suddenly, in the jungle in front, a burst of explosions sounded continuously, "Oh no, the devil destroyed the mine array" Sure enough, the devil shrewdly rolled down the hillside with an oil drum filled with water, and the mines that were pressed exploded one after another, and all the mines planted by the engineer squad in a week were useless.

"Bang Bang Bang" 92 artillery began to bombard, their artillery position was actually chosen behind the hill opposite the first battalion of the Fifth Regiment, and it was very separated, the American artillery behind "Dong Dong Dong" began to counterattack, Kane shouted, "Fooled, devil is attacking from east to west!" ”

Sure enough, the black shadows in the opposite mountain forest began to impact by the light of the artillery fire, and the Type 92 heavy machine gun bullets that strafed the ground knocked the sandbags in front of them into dust.

More than a dozen flares were fired from mortar guns, illuminating both sides of the river as bright as day. The "Knock Knock" heavy machine gun battery began to fire, and along the trajectory, more than a dozen general-purpose machine guns also began to block several trails.

"Huh~~" Several Type 92 ghost cannons counterattacked the heavy machine gun position, blowing up the sawdust above, and the battle was blazing at the first time!

The devils on the other side of the river took advantage of the cover of trees and fired special bombs as soon as possible. Dozens of small grenades exploded in front of the assault battalion position, and the company commanders shouted "gas bombs~~" One by one, the soldiers pulled out their masks from their backpacks and put them on, to be honest, they were really guilty of covering this thing on a hot day!

A sharp cry came from the smoke screen, and the devil's attack officially began!
