Chapter 1138: Destruction (II)
"This battle is a sight I will never forget. Our troops were stopped by the remnants of the Japanese army, apparently hiding in the anti-artillery holes in the fortifications. Waiting for our attack. At the same time, Japanese troops from all directions poured out and kept shooting at us. For a moment, bullets rained us down. ”
"If it had been the day before yesterday when we attacked on our own, we would have been suppressed in front of the position. These damned Japanese have occupied Guam for too long, and they have built a large number of fortifications and defensive positions here. The firing points were so tricky that we couldn't get up. Even crawling forward is difficult. ”
"But this time it was different, and the Wehrmacht soldiers who were attacking with us seemed to know a lot about the Japanese defense system. They let us lie down and then use the grenadier he carried with him to throw grenades at the Japanese pit in a crater. ”
"Obviously, the Japanese didn't think of our hand, and they were directly blown up. And those Wehrmacht soldiers did not rush forward immediately, but took advantage of the chaos of the Japanese army to take out the fire crows. Of course, at the time, we didn't know about the fire crow. ”
"They swept the Japanese positions with fire ravens before rushing up with us......"
"The position was littered with corpses that had been smashed and smashed alive, half of the arms, thighs and even severed heads with blood and brains everywhere. The Wehrmacht soldiers were like organized wolves, and they drew their sapper shovels and pounced on the Japanese with great ferocity, cutting them down silently and ferociously. ”
"The Japanese soldiers were shouting, rallying or frantically pounced. There seems to be no effect on these Wehrmacht soldiers. They were extremely skillful in slaughtering these Japanese soldiers. You read that right, they were indeed slaughtering! ”
They easily cut off the heads of the Japanese soldiers, and then quickly dodged away from the headless corpses that were spurting blood. They kept chopping off the limbs of Japanese soldiers. It's like a skilled butcher cleaning up the beef he has already slaughtered. ”
"They were so calm that we didn't even see the slightest expression on their faces. The shattered corpses, the screaming Japanese soldiers didn't seem to have any effect on them. ”
"At that time, there was nothing we did on the battlefield, and we were responsible for making up the knife after they cut down these Japanese soldiers or taking them prisoner. But in reality, we don't have any captives at all. All the Japanese soldiers were killed, and we didn't even have a chance to do it. ”
"After this battle, my good friend Davis said to me: I don't want to be enemies of these Chinese in my life. They're crazy. ”
"I didn't tell Davis at the time. That's what I thought in my heart. I don't even want my children to be on the battlefield against them in the future, because I don't want my children to be slaughtered like this......"
-- Excerpt from "Dennis. Garrett's Guam: A Veteran's Memory
"Grenades come up and blow up these anti-gun holes!" Da Zhou finally said his first words after arriving at this position. His arm was bleeding constantly.
In this battle, although the crows were not damaged, they were injured a lot. After all, there are not a few remnants of the Japanese army, and it always takes money to slaughter these Japanese soldiers.
When the American soldiers heard this, they immediately rushed up and threw the grenades in their bodies. They're suffocating. Rush to the position, under the smell of blood and the excitement of fighting. The hormones in these Marines are constantly bursting.
But they didn't find an outlet for catharsis, and now it's finally their turn to make a move, and these people are naturally not polite.
The sound of explosions ...... "boom, boom, boom" continued to sound in the anti-artillery holes, and the explosions were mixed with bursts of screams. Hundreds of American soldiers cleared the anti-artillery holes one by one, and those Japanese soldiers who were hiding in the anti-artillery holes knew that they would die, and finally began a frantic counterattack.
......The gunfire rang out continuously, and the American troops were forced to lean on the edge of the tunnel, and a few American soldiers who had not had time to dodge were swept by the Japanese bullets and fell to the ground screaming.
Without saying a word, Da Zhou rushed to the anti-artillery holes of the counterattack and dragged the wounded American troops away. Then he took the grenade from them, pulled the pull ring directly, and pressed the ground to let the grenade roll down the hole......
"Boom!!" There was a loud bang. The gunfire in the cave suddenly stopped. The five grenades in Da Zhou's hand were immediately pulled apart, and after a pause of three seconds, they were thrown directly in.
"Boom, boom, boom, ......boom" explosions continued to sound. The screams in the tunnel gradually subsided. All that could be heard was a miserable moan.
The soldiers of the U.S. Army are not stupid, why don't they understand when they see Da Zhou doing this?! One by one, the grenades slipped down the tunnel into the anti-gun holes.
The explosions rang out one after another, and the screams of the Japanese soldiers came and went. At this time, the follow-up American troops also caught up, and the vanguard began to advance gradually......
"How's it going?!" Halsey lowered his binoculars and asked Frank beside him. Frank, on the other hand, said to his boss with great satisfaction.
"General, these Wehrmacht soldiers are really good at fighting the Japanese army. With their assistance, we have captured five Japanese positions. Although the main position has not yet been breached, I believe it is only a matter of time. ”
"As long as we break through their other positions, in turn surround their main positions. Then these Japanese troops will not be able to escape the fate of being annihilated by us in the end. ”
A smile finally appeared on Halsey's face, and the huge loss of the Marines had been a shadow in his heart during this time. And because of this, he did not dare to easily order the Marines to continue the attack on the Japanese positions.
"What are our losses at the moment?!" Halsey continued to ask, and Frank smiled when he heard this: "According to the report half an hour ago, we have captured five Japanese positions and lost less than five hundred men. Less than three ......hundred soldiers were killed."
"General, I now agree that the arrival of these Wehrmacht forces will turn the tide of the war." Frank sighed and said, "It has been proven that they are extremely good at fighting......
Halsey didn't speak, but he silently responded to Frank's words in his heart. I also agree that they are extremely good at fighting. At the same time, Halsey added in his heart: I hope I will not face such an enemy in the future......
The battle continued, and the Japanese tried to survive by all means. But it turned out to be all in vain. Considering casualties, the American troops did not storm the main positions of the Japanese army.
But the rest of the positions outside the main position were broken one by one with the help of the crows.
Major General Ei Inoue, the commander of the subordinate brigade of the Japanese Guam garrison on the main position, was already in despair, and from him it was easy to see that the positions everywhere had been broken by the American army.
A large number of Japanese troops were killed on the position, and the lethality of the American large-caliber artillery was amazing. Countless Japanese soldiers were bombarded and killed into bloody corpses sprayed on the positions.
A farewell message was sent to the base camp, and Inoue Sakae decided to kill himself.
"Order everyone to break out, your mission is to inflict constant casualties on the Americans in the jungle. Don't stop, we're going to keep fighting! "This is the last time Inoue will speak to his soldiers.
"As your general, I should have fought alongside you. But my identity dictates that I must die and not risk falling into the hands of the enemy......"
"So! Warriors of the Empire, I will complete my apology before you. I only hope that you will continue to fight, for the sake of the Empire, for the sake of our honor as soldiers! ”
"Onboard! Onboard!! The remaining Japanese soldiers below began to howl, while Inoue Sakae slowly took off his military uniform and wiped the coordination in his hand with a white cloth......
"Poof......" There was a muffled sound, and Inoue Sakae stabbed the coacher into his abdomen. Ei Inoue's face turned pale at this time, but he gritted his teeth and insisted on drawing a cross cut for himself.
The Japanese soldiers below watched Inoue Rong dissect his abdominal cavity step by step. The adjutant who was kneeling behind Inoue Rong slowly stood up and suddenly waved the saber in his hand.
"Click!" With a crisp sound, Inoue's head was chopped out so suddenly. The blood in the cavity sprayed three feet high, fluttering and spilling into the crowd of Japanese soldiers below.
"For the Great Japanese Empire! For His Majesty the Emperor! Onboard!! The adjutant who had cut off Ei Inoue's head howled like a beast.
"Onboard! Onboard!! ......" and the Japanese soldiers below howled along with him, and then these Japanese officers began to organize the remnants of the Japanese army to break through to the rear.
The U.S. encirclement in the rear was the most vulnerable, and most of the U.S. forces were now clearing other positions with the Wehrmacht. They did not expect at all that the Japanese would break through from the main positions......
"Dada...... Suddenly, suddenly, ......" There was a burst of gunfire, and the commander of the American army finally discovered the frantic counterattack of the Japanese army.
"Damn it! Call for help from Command! Fast!! "Captain Company Commander George and his troops were overwhelmed by the frantic fire of the Japanese army, but the distance between the Japanese and them was too close for the American artillery to carry out an effective counterattack.
"Damn it...... Damn it......" George scolded, but there was nothing he could do about the situation. It can only be an order to evacuate......
This remnant of the Japanese army highlighted the encirclement, but did nothing to help the whole situation. With the help of the crows, most of the Japanese forces on Guam were still annihilated.
"A copy of all the war reports should be sent to Washington, with my recommendations attached......" Halsey said, placing reports on the battle on the table, "My suggestion is that we should not meddle in the affairs of Asia in the future." Unless America is prepared for defeat and great losses......" (To be continued......
