Most of the buildings in Manila are made of bamboo and wood, which have long been destroyed by the artillery fire of the Chinese National Defense Forces, but the bunkers built by the Japanese army are very strong, and they are all over the city, and they cannot be destroyed by direct hits of artillery under 100 mm, which has repeatedly frustrated the marines. The core position of the Japanese army is the center of the city, and the defensive circle reinforced by five or six reinforced concrete buildings is originally the seat of the administrative agency of the US government stationed on the Papua Peninsula. There are some small bunkers all around, and in addition to most of them destroyed by artillery fire, there are many bunkers here. It has also become a major obstacle to the removal of this big nail.

Initially, the Marines were repeatedly frustrated and were unable to find a breakthrough. Therefore, Lin Xiaohu and the others, who are the sharp knife troops, appeared here, hoping that they could have an outstanding performance.

Lin Xiaohu's company is an independent company at the division level of the Marine Corps, which can act alone, and the required equipment and materials are given priority.

The Sharp Knife Company arrived outside Manila in three military ten-wheeled trucks, got off the trucks, assembled in the south of the city, and divided into three teams to first test the attack and look for weak links in the Japanese defense.

A reinforced battalion of marines in charge of the assault south of the city had broken into the city and engaged in fierce street battles with the Japanese, each of which had to be fought several times, with casualties as high as one-fifth. The Japanese relied on a group of strong pillboxes to defend it, deliberately putting the Chinese Defense Forces into the city, and then blocking and dividing them with firepower to give maximum damage. In close street fighting between the two sides, the artillery superiority of the Chinese Defense Forces could not be brought into play, and progress was slow.

The reinforced battalion fought very hard. More than an hour passed, but he still could not form an effective breakthrough, and he was trapped in the ruins of the city, in a dilemma.

A platoon of soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company attacked from the left side of the reinforced battalion and was responsible for dealing with the three chain pillboxes in front. The soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company quickly rushed forward, in groups of ten, to outflank the Japanese pillboxes and disperse the enemy's firepower, hoping to destroy the Japanese fortress after approaching.

The Japanese army had Type 92 heavy machine guns in all three pillboxes, forming crossfire with each other. The intruder was either killed or injured. It is impossible to get close at all.

Some Japanese skirmishers hid in the ruins near the pillboxes, ambushing the approaching Knife Company from time to time, slowing down their attacks. However, every time these Japanese soldiers take a walk, they will definitely pay the price with their lives. around them. Marine snipers occupying the high ground. These Japanese soldiers who specialize in cold guns will definitely not be spared.

Lin Xiaohu led the members of his squad to form an attack team. Attacking from the east, Zhang Dawen stayed by his side, a squad member. Alternate cover with each other.

Lin Xiaohu led the group to avoid the frontal fire of the bunker, and with the help of the cover of the ruins, they approached from the side step by step. The heavy machine guns in the bunker immediately turned to shoot, and the fierce fire suppressed Lin Xiaohu and them behind a broken wall, bullets flew like raindrops, bricks splashed and fell, and they were about to break through the broken wall.

The assault group was equipped with a newly developed portable flamethrower with an effective range of 40 meters, which was specially designed to deal with the enemy in fortified positions. Their goal is to assist the Flame Shooter to advance to a distance of thirty meters from the opponent. At that time, as long as the flames are sprayed into the bag, the Japanese soldiers inside will only have a dead end.

If it weren't for the fact that a large number of houses here collapsed, flooding the already bad roads, and preventing tanks and armored vehicles from entering, where would there be such trouble.

Moreover, the Japanese pillbox was more than 70 meters away from the low wall, and there was no shelter in the middle, so there was no way to quickly approach the jet.

Lin Xiaohu found that the low wall could not block the fire of the Japanese heavy machine guns, and immediately ordered the team members to disperse and fire at the Japanese pillboxes with all their strength, suppressing the heavy machine gun fire, and covering the flamethrower group to spray forward. Seven or eight assault rifles fired a salvo together with squad machine guns, and the dense rain of bullets knocked the coconut wood on the outer wall of the pillbox into sawdust, and the Japanese heavy machine guns immediately fell silent. Assault rifles have a lot of firepower, but there is a clear contrast, and that is that they consume ammunition quickly. The 30-round magazine runs out quickly, making it difficult to sustain itself.

Lin Xiaohu's soldiers are all one in a thousand, and everyone's skills are no weaker than ordinary special forces. Shooting at a distance of tens of meters, in terms of accuracy, all of them are sharpshooters.

Seeing that the Japanese firepower had stopped, the flamethrower soldiers did not dare to slack off, and immediately left the low wall and rushed quickly to the Japanese pillbox, as long as they advanced more than ten meters. One of the Marines beside him also quickly followed the flamethrower. Together, the two of them quickly pounced on the Japanese bunker.

Who would have thought that there were Japanese soldiers hiding in the open ground in front of the pillbox, and the foxholes were covered with wooden planks, covered with floating soil and sundries, and the surrounding environment was integrated and difficult to detect.

As soon as the flamethrower soldiers rushed out a few meters, the Japanese soldiers were hiding in the foxholes when they opened fire, and one shot hit the flamethrower man's right thigh, causing flesh and blood to splatter, and he fell instantly. Fortunately, due to the angle, the opponent did not hit the oil storage tank behind the flame shooter. Otherwise, the consequences will be tragic.

The Marines in charge of the cover immediately pointed their assault rifles at the foxhole, and the bullets pierced the cover plank, and a muffled grunt was heard from the pit. Just as he was about to step forward to check, a bullet flew out of the mess on the other side. The latter instinctively flashed left when he heard a creak of a wooden plank being lifted. The bullet that had been aimed at his head flew across his right cheek. If he hadn't dodged in time, I'm afraid he would have been killed by a single shot.

"Heavy give me a hard shot." Lin Xiaohu was furious when he saw this, and said angrily to the machine gunner who had already set up a crane gun beside him. At the same time, his hands did not stop, and the automatic rifle swept at the pile of wood, and the broken wood jumped.

However, after Lin Xiaohu and their volleys fired, the heavy machine guns in the Japanese pillbox began to roar again, shooting at the flamethrowers who fell to the ground, eliminating the hidden dangers in front of them.

The flamethrower is shot in the leg and moves slowly, and if it is hit by a heavy machine gun bullet in the fuel canister on its back, it will inevitably turn into a human turkey. In a hurry, he resolutely aimed at the bunker and sprayed flames, and a blazing flame burst out and flew over the Japanese bunker. Although the distance between the two sides was beyond the range of the flamethrowers, the invisible heat wave still poured into the pillbox through the firing holes, and the Japanese troops hurriedly retreated, and the gunfire stopped.

As soon as Lin Xiaohu saw that the flamethrower was working, he led the people to climb out of the low wall and rushed to the bunker as fast as he could.

"You two go and pick him up at once, and continue to push forward to cover our attack. The machine gunner continued to suppress the foxholes, Zhang Dawen, and took out the two foxholes. As soon as he got out of the low wall, Lin Xiaohu hurriedly shouted.

Send two people to set up the injured flamethrower hand forward, taking advantage of the opportunity brought by the rapid flames in front of them, and quickly move forward.

Lin Xiaohu led people to approach the pillbox from both sides, and when the distance was 30 meters, the submachine gun aimed at the shooting hole and fired desperately, suppressing the Japanese army and unable to counterattack. With the help of his comrades, the flame shooter also approached quickly, and when he arrived at the same position as Lin Xiaohu. Blazing flames erupted from the jet again.

The outer coconut wood was ignited, and the flames rushed through the shooting hole, and suddenly a huge smoke drifted out of the dark castle. The Japanese troops inside the fort let out a miserable cry.

The rest of the Japanese troops saw that they could no longer hold the bunker, so they retreated into the bunker one after another, but were all shot and killed by Lin Xiaohu's enemies waiting on the periphery. As soon as the magazine was fired, each Japanese soldier was shot seven or eight times, and his skin was opened, and he was killed on the spot. Lin Xiaohu and the others did not enter the bunker to search, and directly threw a few grenades to clear it to ensure that the Japanese soldiers inside died cleanly.

And Zhang Dawen, who was beside them, also began to clean up the foxhole in the ground, and this time the two soldiers were injured because of this unexpected foxhole. They didn't expect that there would be such a thing in Manila. If it was in the jungle, they would be on guard against such a single facility. And to build such a thing in the city is really beyond the expectations of all the warriors.

The two foxholes were suppressed by the vitality of the heavy machine guns, and the wooden planks on them had been basically shattered, but Zhang Dawen and the others didn't want to approach with such a swagger. Because the flat-firing heavy machine guns could not threaten the Japanese troops in the foxholes. Even if it is other firearms, as long as the opponent does not come forward for you to hit, otherwise it will not be able to threaten the enemy in the foxhole.

It is the best choice to use a grenade to combat such a foxhole, as long as the cover on it is broken, and the fire is suppressed, and the grenade is thrown into it when the time comes, the narrow space inside, the opponent is definitely a dead end. Even if the opponent runs out when the grenade explodes, it will be destroyed by the people above. There are other ways to throw grenades, like grenades, or mortars and the like, but this is too much accuracy.

Taking advantage of the opportunity created by the machine gunner, Zhang Dawen quickly crawled forward. When he was still ten meters away from the first foxhole, he took out the grenade in his tactical suit, opened the safe, and silently counted in his mind: 1, 2, 3.

When counting to three, aim at the foxhole ten meters away and throw the grenade out directly. A grenade flying in the air hit the foxhole directly and fell directly into it. The Japanese soldiers, who were hiding from the heavy machine guns inside, saw a round grenade appear under their wet feet. I hurriedly bent down to pick it up, but the delayed fuse that was timed to explode for five to six seconds had passed three seconds.

"Bang!" There was a loud bang, and just as his hand touched the grenade, the grenade had exploded.

As the sound of the explosion sounded, the already broken lid of the foxhole instantly turned into a cloud of debris. With a flood of muddy water (along the coast, there will be groundwater overflowing in foxholes) and torn Japanese corpses rose into the sky. After the explosion, only the fragments of the yellow uniforms of the Japanese army fell and some minced flesh were left.

After eliminating the first foxhole, Zhang Dawen then crawled to the second foxhole. Soon, the second foxhole also disappeared into Zhang Dawen's hands.

At this time, a dark castle in this area had been uprooted by Lin Xiaohu and others...... (To be continued.) )
