'......Boom'

With the explosion of grenades, the Japanese troops behind the first line of positions were bombed one after another, and the screams continued, but the battle did not stop, and a steady stream of grenades were thrown to the rear of the first line of positions one after another.

The distance of tens of meters, for the elite soldiers, even on the battlefield, it does not take too long to rush through this distance, of course, if it is a particularly strange terrain, it is another matter. Once on the Korean battlefield, a 100-meter-high hill and steep terrain made the Japanese army have no choice at all, they could only attack through a small road, and on that trail there was a crossfire of two heavy machine guns, with more than a dozen rifles, there, with only these firepower, more than 100 Japanese troops were annihilated and did not declare lost, and they also blocked the road of more than 500 Japanese troops there, and were finally annihilated by the troops who rushed to support.

That kind of strange terrain is not often encountered, but it is clear that the landing ground in Kaohsiung does not have such conditions, and the defensive intensity of the Japanese army is not large, although the Japanese army has arranged two lines of defense, which can echo back and forth, but for anti-landing operations, the Japanese army has no experience at all, and the Marine Corps only has theoretical experience, and it also lacks actual combat experience.

However, with the theoretical experience of the marines, coupled with the previous battlefield experience, in a short period of time, there were only more than 500 marines, and even suppressed the defensive firepower of thousands of Japanese troops.

The weapons and equipment equipped by the marines played a key role, the machine gun team quickly entered the battle after landing, although the terrain was not so good, but the powerful firepower and the cover of the infantry next to them were still not able to resist the Japanese, and the mortar team put the target on the second line, the first target was the five heavy machine guns that had been exposed.

Because in less than two minutes, these five heavy machine guns have brought nearly 100 casualties to the more than 500 Marine soldiers who landed, especially the Marine Corps members who disembarked in the rear, which became the hardest hit area for the casualties, and the heavy fire shifted the target to them, so eighty percent of the casualties of these nearly 100 people came from those soldiers who were preparing to disembark and go ashore.

Two minutes was enough time for all the uninjured soldiers on the landing craft to disembark and land, and after the landing craft confirmed that the landing was completed, it quickly reversed, and when the ship turned around, the two crew members walked to the front, first put away the door pedals, and then quickly took out the ambulance kits on the landing craft to rescue the wounded soldiers.

Within two minutes, the first landing troops had lost one-fifth of their troops, which was almost the largest casualty in a war since the formation of the Army, and even in those years, when it did not occupy any advantage, the casualties of the Army were not so terrifying.

But in fact, there is a lot of helplessness in this matter, first of all, the number of naval guns is not enough, there is no way to comprehensively suppress the enemy forces on the shore, if the Japanese army can react at the first time, and the defensive firepower equipped on the shore is stronger, then the number of casualties will be more, this is the inevitable result of the form of war, this does not mean that the combat effectiveness of the Marine Corps is not good, in fact, the combat effectiveness of the Marine Corps is not weak, and it is also a first-class combat unit in China.

After the landing craft left, the fighting on the shore continued, and after the more than 400 people who landed left the sea, there was no shackle of the sea, and the effect of the previous training was highlighted.

These are veterans with rich combat experience, and each of them has participated in at least three or four battles, and at most dozens of battles, and this kind of intensity of combat is not even comparable to any of the battles they have participated in before, so even if they lose one-fifth of their troops at the beginning, the troops are still not in disarray.

Although when they first came ashore, they looked so embarrassed that there was no tactics to speak of.

But in fact, they just don't have any tactics, which is the most bizarre point of the marines, after leaving the landing craft, they really don't pay attention to any tactics, everyone has only one task, run to the nearest bunker to you as soon as possible, and then provide fire cover for the soldiers behind to help them land.

And the real tactics began at this time, and this tactic is relatively flexible, so at this time, most of the Marines are free to play, until they rush to the bottom of the first line of defense, and then begin to implement the previously arranged tactics, using grenades to kill the enemy in the first line.

There are 42 squads, and the troops that have successfully landed are 33 squads, and there were originally 21 fire groups, and there were 17 fire teams that successfully landed, but those fire group fighters who did not land, their equipment was still brought down, so there were still 21 fire groups, and these 21 fire groups represented 21 machine guns and 21 60mm mortars.

Because the distance is too close, the first line of positions is not the target of these fire teams, and the first line of positions is handed over to the infantry to solve, and each squad is equipped with two Type 03 automatic rifles, which still have a great advantage in this kind of battle.

The fire teams all shifted their targets to the second line of positions, and after the mortars locked onto the target, shells were fired one after another, starting with the five heavy machine guns. An average of four mortars against one heavy machine gun.

Compared with the Type 08 general-purpose machine gun, the Makqin is heavier, the rate of fire is slow, and the problem of poor fire suppression effect is undoubtedly defeated by the Type 08 general-purpose machine gun.

Compared with the Makqin heavy machine gun, a host gunner can run around, and he can also carry a chain of 300 bullets without any influence, based on this alone, the Type 08 general-purpose machine gun eliminates the Makqin heavy machine gun without any pressure. Coupled with a rate of fire of up to 900 bullets per minute, two machine guns can withstand the firepower provided by three Maxim heavy machine guns, and after installing the bracket, it is a heavy machine gun, although the range is not as good as that of Maxim, but it is a complete victory in other aspects.

Therefore, starting in the second minute after the landing, the remaining 400 or so marines gradually turned the tide of the battlefield, although the overall situation was still not in their favor, but now is no longer the era of slaughter by the Japanese army.

The infantry concentrates on dealing with the enemy in the first line of position, the machine gun crew is to suppress the enemy infantry in the second line of defense, and the mortar is to focus on taking care of the heavy firepower of the Japanese army.

This is also the reason why there were not many shells in the early days of the landing, if it was before, when this situation was encountered, the four mortars would have to come at least three times in a row, and rub the ambition of the little devil fiercely.

The infantry in front opened a gap about 300 meters long, and the Japanese defense in the rear was almost completely consumed by the grenades, and it was almost impossible to make any decent counterattacks.

At this time, the tactics of the landing force began to change again, because the first line of positions had a difference of about two meters from the sea, and if they hid in front of the first position, they could block the fire of the second position.

Therefore, at this time, 14 of the 21 machine guns were divided and arranged on both sides to prevent the enemy troops on both sides from suddenly appearing on the flank, and the rest of the machine guns and mortars were all moved forward, hiding under the first position to continue the attack on the second line.

The infantry, on the contrary, became a vigilant force at this time, and they did not rush out, nor did they look for the enemy, and only opened fire when they found the enemy.

For a while, the battlefield was so quiet, and the falling needles could be heard, and they were happy to see such a situation, because at this time their task was not necessarily to destroy how many enemies or how much area to occupy, which was meaningless to them at all.

Their task was to land, then open a gap, and then hold the place, to provide a relatively safe landing ground for the subsequent landing force, and in terms of mission, they had now completed their mission, and it took less than five minutes.

But whether this mission succeeds or fails depends on whether they can hold this place for the next half an hour, and wait until the second landing force comes ashore.

This is a tactic to add fuel to the face. The first batch of troops controls an area, regardless of how big the area is, as long as it can be controlled, and provides fire support when the second group of troops lands, so as to reduce casualties during the landing, and then the two batches of troops will meet in one division and gradually expand the scale of the landing field, and then the number of troops in batches will land, and this scale will continue to expand until the number of troops landing reaches a certain number, then it is time to carry out the second task, and the second task is to occupy the second line of defense in the rear.

Then it is to hold here, clean up the Japanese army in this area, if possible, occupy the port dock more than ten kilometers away, and use the landing craft to land This method is basically the prerogative of the marines, and the ordinary infantry landing still depends on the dock, otherwise it will be the landing of tens of thousands of infantry divisions at a time, relying only on the landing craft This time 500 people's capacity, when will the landing last?

There are still a few gunshots occasionally heard on the battlefield, which is a sniper who has found a target worthy of their shot, and it is idle anyway, and it can also deter the enemy. (To be continued.) )
