Chapter 392
"Have you seen that machine-gun position, wait for the fire cover, and look for a chance to kill it!" After Liu Changguo finished speaking, he shouted a fire cover, pulled the trigger with his fingers, and the rest of the soldiers also raised the Garand in their hands and fired with the submachine gun, and the powerful firepower immediately suppressed the opponent's machine gun, and the shooter behind the gun was hit by several bullets, and the American soldiers next to him also lowered their bodies to avoid the dense rain of bullets.
Dong Laibin, who found the right time, carried the bazooka, and the deputy shooter quickly loaded the rocket, and then patted Dong Laibin's steel helmet. Dong Laibin, who was ready to fire, aimed at the machine gun position and pulled the trigger, and the rocket accurately drilled into the machine gun position and exploded violently, and several American soldiers flew into the sky with random gun parts.
The gap was opened, and under the cover of the MG42 machine guns, a dozen soldiers jumped to their feet, bent down and rushed into the American positions, and began to expand along the trench in all directions. Liu Changguo shouted loudly to the back: "The gap is opened, attack from here!" ”
The American soldiers who have persisted until now finally began to retreat, the Chinese soldiers used shotguns, submachine guns and pistols and other rapid-fire firepower to sweep the enemy in the trenches, many tall American soldiers cried like children and knelt on the ground to ask for surrender, of course, the soldiers were likely to not be able to react at the first time in the fierce battle, so the shooting of prisoners of war happened repeatedly, which could not be avoided, and there were even cases of accidental injury on the battlefield, who to reason?
The advantage of race makes the predominantly Western-American naturally taller than the Chinese, but after the implementation of the Huaxia nutrition program, the daily supply of eggs, milk and sufficient meat has made the Chinese people's physique improve rapidly. According to incomplete statistics, the average height of Chinese people is about 6 cm taller than Japanese, about 5.5 cm taller than Koreans, and about 2.5 cm shorter than Americans. Such a gap is already very small, so the Chinese soldiers do not feel inferior to the American soldiers at all, and even because of better nutrition and better training, the Chinese soldiers are much stronger.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Major Billy decisively ordered a retreat, and his 103rd Battalion had held out on the first line of defense for more than an hour, which was enough for Wesley in the rear to deploy a defense. Moreover, more than half of his battalion has been lost, and if he continues to fight, there is a possibility that the whole army will be annihilated. Billy doesn't want to be a captive of the Chinese, he still has a beautiful wife waiting to be comforted in the Utah ranch!
In many cases, a retreat can turn into a rout, such as now, when Major Billy, who is the first to retreat, flees from the clutches, but the soldiers lose their spiritual support and run back after leaving the trenches. The Chinese soldiers mounted their machine guns on their positions and easily fired at the enemy's back, and their lethality exceeded that of target training.
Three of the fifteen D03 tanks were destroyed, two suffered mechanical problems, one of them sank into the sea, and the other broke down on the beach. The remaining ten tanks played a huge role in the pursuit of the American troops, they crossed the trench, rushed towards the retreating American soldiers at great speed, the large-caliber machine gun in the front of the car wantonly swayed ammunition, and the large-caliber machine gun bullets often caused a scene of broken limbs when they hit people.
More than 1,500 meters away from the second line of defense, the fleeing American soldiers finally gave up, and they knelt on the ground one after another, panting heavily. The infantry fighting vehicle and the two companies of Marines who followed the battle slowly retreated with more than 200 prisoners, setting up new offensive positions about two kilometers in front of the second line of defense.
By this time, more than 2,000 Marines had landed on the beachhead, and they had to quickly leave the crowded area, although the American artillery bombardment was getting weaker and weaker, and many artillery pieces were blown into the sky under the bombardment of the air force. But it was very dangerous after all, so a battalion of infantry and ten infantry fighting vehicles were placed in front of the enemy line, and another 600 marines were sent to make a detour to the left and right flanks to increase the depth of the landing field.
"What's up ahead?" After returning to the rest point, the comrade-in-arms who leaned on the edge of the coconut tree asked, the company commander called a meeting of the platoon leaders and squad leaders to convey the orders of the battalion headquarters, Liu Changguo was officially promoted from deputy squad leader to squad leader, and the company commander also applied for the Red Banner Medal, which is said to be approved.
"The second line of defense, at least 2,000 American soldiers, let's go, our company's mission is the building area to the west, and the result of reconnaissance is that there are about 300 enemies, and the firepower is unknown."
Hearing the words of the squad leader, everyone stood up and cleaned up, no matter how many enemies there were in front of it, just kill it! In the past ten years, the Chinese soldiers have hardly stopped fighting, from the revolutionary war, the bandit war, the Northern Expedition, the war against Japan, etc., along with the history of the war, it has also given birth to a large number of soldiers with rich combat experience, they are the most professional soldiers, calmly facing all challenges.
The attack was not reckless on the part of the commander, but with enough confidence, a steady stream of soldiers on the landing ground left the transport ship to reach the beach safely, and then marched to the front of the battlefield. According to calculations, all the soldiers and equipment of the 1st Marine Division will arrive on the battlefield in half an hour, which will be more than 14,000 soldiers and 320 artillery pieces. With such a strong backing, it is no wonder that the commander gave the order to attack.
Oahu's tropical beauty is gone, replaced by huge craters and endless smoke like the surface of the moon, and the power of war easily transforms the natural landscape and turns it into the perfect battlefield. A few hundred meters in front of a dilapidated four-story building, a group of Chinese soldiers appeared in front of a dilapidated four-story building, carefully shuttling between the craters and the mounds of earth, lowering their bodies and penetrating forward little by little.
Liu Changguo chose a machine-gun position about 300 meters in front of the building, and the deputy shooter took off the bullet chain wrapped around his neck and put it aside, while the rest of the soldiers also lay quietly in the selected hidden place, waiting for the company commander to launch an attack order.
The company commander held up the binoculars and carefully observed the front, the building was no longer inhabitable, but the rubble was everywhere, and it was the best place to hide the soldiers. On both sides were low bushes, and no one knew if there were American soldiers in the grass. This is the last passage to the port, and the US military will definitely deploy heavy troops here, but I heard that the Chinese warships outside the landing site have retreated some distance because they have discovered the traces of US submarines, and the naval guns cannot be counted on, and the artillery units of the Marine Division have not yet been deployed, so they can only rely on air support!
Even if air support is called, it is necessary to find out the enemy's fire point, and if the pilot could have discovered it, the place would have been razed to the ground long ago. Liu Changguo's third squad and five other squads were ordered to launch a tentative attack, and after lamenting their bad luck, the eight soldiers got up and moved forward cautiously. At a distance of 300 meters, except around the enemy's position, the rest of the area was a flat open area, with only craters and small mounds in the middle to use.
From a distance, more than 40 Chinese soldiers were like little ants on the charred black earth, and the same was true from the US position. The withdrawn commander of the 103rd Infantry Battalion, Major Billy, was not punished, but gained more trust from Wesley, who was guarded by the remnants of his battalion and supported by fire from three infantry guns at the regimental headquarters. However, the soldiers did not have the spirit of the first line of defense, most of them looked listless, and they could be fearless because of ignorance before the battle began, and when they were defeated, these soldiers knew that they were definitely not the opponents of the Chinese soldiers, so they simply lost their morale.
This was not something that could be redeemed by scolding the enemy, and in the face of a small attack by dozens of Chinese troops, Billy loudly ordered his soldiers to enter the position and prepare for a new onslaught. The most conspicuous building did not have troops on it, but instead placed heavy troops in the grass on both sides, which had the advantage of shooting on the ruins of the building, and it was also possible that it would be bombed by Chinese planes at the first time. Billy relied on four machine-gun bunkers in the grass, which were about as tall as the grass, most of the buildings were underground, and the top floors were covered with grass and trees, so he survived the Chinese bombardment.
A Chinese soldier was about to run to the next crater, when he heard a whoosh, a bullet flew by, and was about to congratulate himself on his good fortune, when the second bullet hit his right leg, the artery ruptured, and the blood flowed profusely, but his comrades did not have time to come to his rescue, because everyone was looking for cover and trying to fight back.
Countless bullets flew out of the grass on both sides, and Liu Changguo could vaguely see the gray steel helmets swaying from side to side in the grass -- those Americans used the cover of the grass to set up defensive positions to block the view of the attackers, but they could easily aim at the attacking Chinese soldiers.
"Boom!" An artillery shell exploded near Liu Changguo, and the shock wave covered this machine-gun position with dust, but fortunately neither he nor the deputy shooter were injured. Pulling the trigger, the main firepower of the Chinese army finally opened fire, and other semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns also fired fiercely, and the grass where the US troops were hiding was broken countless times, revealing the true face of the US position.
"Retreat!" A platoon commander shouted, they had figured out the reality of their opponent, it was impossible to break through with these forty people, but retreat was not a simple matter, they covered each other's retreat, and even then when they returned to the starting position, there were five soldiers killed and wounded.
The company commander, who had learned the enemy's situation, immediately contacted his superiors and asked for support from the air force bombers, but he did not expect to see a terrifying scene 15 minutes later -- two air force bombers flew over the battlefield and dropped four bombs on both sides with the building as a marker.
