After a while, the raindrops were falling all over the sky, and Pan Guochen's detachment and Liang Gensheng's detachment launched a counterattack in the rain, and 300 marines in gray and green uniforms with blue hats and 150 special combat soldiers in black clothes and green baotou scattered among the sugar cane and fruit trees—mixed with a number of guerrillas who acted as guides—covering the gray and green painted flying wolf chariots to advance to the south of the Ford Bridge. The two 80-mm mortars of the Liang detachment knocked out the few remaining shells.

Seventeen fully armed flying wolf chariots were divided into three teams, one team was in the center, advancing along the road, and two teams were divided into left and right, grinding through the sugar cane fields and orchards, Pan Guochen's command chariot was behind the squadron, followed by 10 crocodile amphibious personnel carriers carrying the backpacks and ammunition of the landing soldiers.

The timing of the attack was just right! The 50th Regiment and the 1st Battalion of the 53rd Regiment of the U.S. Army south of the bridge were changing defenses with reinforcements from Honolulu and Eva, when they were suddenly attacked by the Chinese army's rapid and fierce shelling, and the position was suddenly in chaos.

Two iron pipes protrude from the monster's trapezoidal head, the thin one can fire continuously, spewing out strings of deadly bullets, and the thicker one can trigger an explosion that exceeds the power of ordinary grenades at a distance of tens to hundreds of yards in front of it—such an explosion dumbs one American machine gun after another.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a mobile battery mounted on a tractor, use a grenade against it!"

"Cannon! Go pull the cannon over! ”

Although there were also well-informed officers who calmly issued orders, the vast majority of officers and men who had never seen such a scene still lost the will to fight when the monster approached, and a few abandoned their guns and fled, and were quickly knocked over like rabbits by bullets fired from behind, and many more raised their hands to the monster in a trance, and then were disarmed by the Chinese soldiers who jumped out from behind the monster.

The first four companies of the 50th Regiment and the 1st Battalion of the 53rd Regiment of the U.S. Army were almost completely wiped out in a few minutes, the battle line collapsed, the defensive line was opened, and the monsters went on a rampage, carrying the rout and continuing south.

The 2nd Battalion of the 53rd Regiment on the Honolulu side, which was driven to the front to change the defense, was first hit by artillery fire, and then encountered the rolling monster group on the open road.

A group of monsters rushed to the position of the 2nd Company of the 1st Artillery Battalion in Hawaii, the 2nd Company lost half of its artillery and a third of its personnel in the air raid just now, and the steel monster that suddenly rushed out of the sugar cane field made most of the surviving officers and soldiers stunned and lost their souls - the two artillery squads raised their hands in unison, one of the artillery squads hesitated for a moment and fled, only one of the officers and soldiers on the gun position fought back under the supervision of the company commander, fired two cannons in a row, and paralyzed a monster that happened to rush to the front of the muzzle, and was about to turn the muzzle to aim at the next monster, Bullets and artillery fire swept in, densely covering the entire gun emplacement—

In the chaos, the regimental headquarters of the 50th Regiment, which was about to get on the car and transfer, encountered another group of monsters at close range, a burst of artillery fire hit, the car was flying, people shouted and neighed, the radio station of the regimental headquarters was smashed to pieces, the regimental commander Colonel Spencer was seriously wounded, and the guard company and attachés also suffered heavy casualties.

The heavy rain was pouring down, and at 3:40 p.m., when the troops were scheduled to be collected, the vehicles of Pan Guochen's detachment did not dare to fight, and left behind the target in front of them—perhaps a large group of routs, perhaps a headquarters, or a vehicle parking lot—and slowly reversed and retreated.

Due to the limited production and large volume of the empire's military radio equipment, it is impossible to equip every combat vehicle, and only a few special command combat vehicles that dismantle the artillery are equipped with them, and the contact methods of the grassroots units of the chariot troops are mainly flags, light signals and even carrier pigeons, but in the fierce battle, these contact methods are difficult to use effectively, and the method of sending messengers to deliver messages is also extremely unreliable. Therefore, there is only one way to make the chariots retreat in the heat of battle: set a time for retreat, and at the scheduled time, no matter what happens, each chariot must retreat on time.

Only 14 of the 17 vehicles made it back, and with the exception of one destroyed by enemy fire, the other two were forced to abandon due to mechanical problems or falling into steep pits.

Pan Guochen did not want to achieve greater results, but his task was to guard the Ford Bridge, and the heavy rain affected the observation of the chariot crew, and there were too few infantry to cover, he did not think that this little force alone could complete the task that was scheduled to be completed by the entire armored army, and blindly advancing would cause the troops to fall into a heavy encirclement and suffer unnecessary losses.

However, even this short assault, which lasted only half an hour, achieved a remarkable victory: more than a thousand prisoners alone! The attacking force ravaged two U.S. artillery positions, destroyed several artillery pieces that had survived the air raids, swept away several enemy parking lots and ammunition storage sites, smashed dozens of trucks and wagons, and blasted several piles of ammunition up to a height of one person......

It seems that for an hour - no, maybe by sunset, the enemy will not be able to resume the offensive.

Pan Guochen sat straddling the top of the turret, letting the rain wet his military uniform, and if he really wanted to take off his clothes, he took a natural shower in the rain - he had been nesting on the boat for more than a week, and his whole body was itching and panicking.

God probably had insight into his thoughts, and was about to go against him, when a bright gap suddenly flashed in the middle of the dark clouds, and the blade-like sunlight pierced down, like the legendary heavenly holy light......

The rain subsided, and after a few minutes, the clouds cleared and the sun took over the earth in the freshness of the rain.

Liang Gensheng jumped into Pan Guochen's car with his baby Mauser: "What are you in a daze?" ”

"Look at the scenery after the rain."

"You're really in the mood - half an hour is too short, my people have just entered the state, and when they have a good time, Kuang Kuang Kuang, your chariot will retreat, it's boring, it's too boring."

Pan Guochen slapped and wiped the water droplets all over his face: "This is just right, it's not good to beat them into the city, the big army is coming, I plan to let the big army destroy them in the field." ”

"Anyway, it's just not fun!" Liang Gensheng took out a cigarette and handed the cigarette case to Pan Guochen.

Pan Guochen shook his hand: "No—as soon as the army arrives, your mission should be over, and I will send a car to take you to the beach." ”

"That's it? It's boring, street fighting is our forte......"

"You're a top-secret elite unit, isn't it even more boring to fight with ordinary infantry? The loss this time is not small, take a good rest and recuperate, the above will not let you go, you can't be idle. ”

"At first glance, it sounds like there's some truth—"

"Excuse ......"

A woman in a raincoat stood hesitantly by the chariot.

Liang Gensheng subconsciously took off the cigarette in his mouth: "Lieutenant Cai...... Can I help you? ”

"I was trying to ask, it's sunny, do you need to call in air support?"

"If there is no problem on the fleet side, it is best to send another batch over, now is the time when the other side is in chaos, and it is beneficial to blow it up."

"Yes, then I'll go."

Pan Guochen stared at the back of the light running with wide eyes, and patted Liang Gensheng with an ambiguous expression: "The best...... That's right, brother, you also have Xiaomi with you when you go to the battlefield, admire and admire. ”

"It's really my little mi." Liang Gensheng lowered his head and lit a cigarette.

"How?"

"It is said that the fighter pilot on the aircraft carrier was shot down during the air attack on Pearl Harbor a few days ago, and was rescued by the guerrillas, and he came with the guerrillas to meet us last night."

"It doesn't matter what she is, if you see it, you rush to ask her for a mobile phone number - no, a mailing address or something, isn't it done?" Pan Guochen took off the chariot cap and shook the water on the cap vigorously.

"I'm married, and you're not ignorant."

"Comrade, now is the era of three wives and four concubines in history, even in our time and space, what's so strange about rich people raising a bunch of little honey?"

Liang Genchang spat out a cigarette: "If I really like it, I will divorce and remarry, I am this kind of person." ”

Pan Guochen spread his hands: "There's no way, it seems that the former leader is the same kind of person as you, both have become emperors or 'as long as one is good', how can the best good men who are dying in our era have crossed over." ”

Liang Gensheng sneered and said: "Anyway, your kid has finally succeeded in running three, when will your personal problems be solved?" ”

Pan Guochen sighed, scratched his head and said, "This, I have a fear of marriage, okay?" ”

"This excuse is too bad, isn't it, just say that you don't want to be responsible for playing?"

"How could it be ......?"

"Report! The great forces of our army have arrived! Pan Guochen's adjutant excitedly interrupted the conversation between the two.

Pan Guochen stood on the roof of the car, took out the binoculars from his holster and looked north, and sure enough, on the road north of the bridge, a steel column stretching below the horizon was rolling towards this side with a low rumbling sound.

"It's finally here, there's going to be a big show."

Liang Gensheng lazily dropped the half-burned cigarette: "Okay, we 'elites' don't mix with you anymore, I've stayed up all night and day, I'm really a little sleepy, I'll go to the bridge and squat." You're busy with you, there's no hurry to send a car to pick us up, I'm much easier with you to take over, it's not much worse to leave early and late, and then it's up to you - take care! ”

The two clapped their hands and said goodbye.

Liang Gensheng had just jumped out of the chariot, and a Pegasus brand bucket motorcycle suddenly braked on the side of the chariot, and the herald in front of the chariot who forgot to take off his rain cap raised his head and shouted: "Brigade Commander Pan, the army commander ordered you to report to the military headquarters, please get in the car." ”
