Chapter 195: Beachbreaking
Tulagi is a natural sheltered harbour with two small islands on the eastern side of the island, Gavutu and Tanam Bobogo, which act as a barrier to the island.
The island was originally home to a seaplane airfield, but after the Japanese captured it, it was expanded to become a seaplane airfield capable of monitoring the entire Solomon Sea.
On the Japanese side, the battle was led by Mikawa Gunichi, known as the 'wise general', who led the fleet to support, and issued the number one order that the defenders on the island should continue to fight, and he would organize troops to support as soon as possible.
Seizure of islands and support are two different things, the latter is much more costly and more vulnerable to bomber attacks.
Considering that the U.S. military has advanced code-breaking technology, the Eighth Fleet, consisting of five heavy cruisers, two light cruisers, and one destroyer, sailed in radio silence, targeting many U.S. transport ships anchored near Tulagi and Kuah Islands; The troop carriers, on the other hand, took a covert route and marched towards the two islands.
On the US side, Fletcher, commander of the aircraft carrier fleet in charge of naval and air support, requested the commander to retreat on the grounds of serious losses of carrier-based aircraft and lack of fuel, and at dusk, led the aircraft carrier fleet to withdraw from the waters of Kuah Island.
And before that, the paratrooper units deployed to the two islands had already begun to be airdropped.
"Jumping again?"
"You didn't skip it once before."
"There weren't so many bullets flying around that time."
"Go down to you!" Seeing that Tang Long was grinding for a long time, Xia Min kicked the other party down.
"Xia Min, your uncle......" Tang Long's screams spread smaller and smaller in the air until they disappeared.
"You guys, it's not very good," Gao Laohu wiped a cold sweat, these two young people are crazy and don't play cards according to the routine at all.
"It's okay, Brother Tiger, those who can beat and scold are brothers. Just get used to it. ”
Tang Long skillfully made large characters, and the flight bag on his shoulder was torn open, and to his left and right were white mushrooms turned into thirty or forty paratroopers.
The request of the three. Coupled with their fierce record, Colonel Henry quickly agreed to their request for transfer and joined the first group of paratroopers to parachute into the island of Gavutu.
The U.S. military overestimated the strength of Tulagi Island and underestimated the strength of the two satellite islands. Although the former went ashore, he was ambushed by the Japanese army soon after the in-depth attack, and the Japanese soldiers effectively prevented the opponent's surprise attack with the help of complex terrain and trees.
On the other two small islands, because the islands were too small, the Japanese were forced to resist at the front, and as soon as the American troops came ashore, they were subjected to a series of dense firepower, and many young officers even shouted 'Heaven damn it!' He pulled off the explosive fuse on his body; Although the American GIs had advanced weapons, they did not have a high spirit of playing with their lives. After all, he had only been in the war for a short time, and this time, he was blinded.
It was not until the Marines brought 81-mm mortars ashore, with aircraft fire cover and paratrooper support, that they were not annihilated.
Guns are flying, cannons are constantly sounding, this is the real battlefield, the battle for the coast!
Tang Long was only halfway down, and the remote energy shield had already lit up four or five times, and he couldn't help but curse secretly. Little Japan is really accurate, and the emperor can still add vision if he worships more?
Since this battle is an encounter battle, the popular saying is to throw off your arms and do it directly; Xiaoyu, a supporting character plus crispy, didn't bring it over, but now I want to come. It's really a correct decision, this girl can't even swim a problem, and she is airborne in the middle of the guns, what if she is really scared to pee.
As soon as he landed, there was a Japanese trench in front of him, and five soldiers. Two machine guns were desperately sprinkling bullets forward, one of them, just turned his head, raised his hand and fired a shot, Tang Long had already rushed in front of him, the strong light ring on his left hand was bright, blooming with a blinding strong light, and the five people closed their eyes and screamed at the same time.
'Click', 'Click', 'Click', 'Click' and 'Click' made five crisp sounds, and when Tang Long rushed towards another crater, only five corpses were left behind and slowly fell, and there was a concave mark on his neck at the same time.
On the other side, Gao Laohu also landed in the forest, and before the laser cannon on his back could be taken out, several Japanese soldiers with bayonets rushed over with a 'wow' scream, pinched their fists the size of vinegar bowls, and their strong muscles almost burst their clothes.
When he took the first step and roared, a fluctuation visible to the naked eye dispersed, and a leaf was blown away.
Name: Roar of Fury
Grade: D+
Notes: Shocks enemies with a roar with the will of the Ancestors, stun duration: 5 seconds
This trick may have no effect on dealing with the elders with special mental strength, and the strong-willed ones will also weaken a lot, but it is definitely more than enough to deal with a few small soldiers.
With the palm of his hand pulled back, five small axes came out, his left foot forward, and threw it hard, the axe spun around, and he slashed over like lightning, one axe at a time, one by one.
Throwing weapon mastery: Lv5, for a series of mid-range weapons such as short axes, knives, darts, and javelins, it has a good aim and soft feel
Each specialization is a way to use a weapon, and lv5 is already the apex of throwing weapons.
Generally speaking, the characters who have passed the blood moon level of the death QQ number no longer have shortcomings, and whether it is long-range or melee, they have their own set of ways to deal with it.
Although Tang Long and Xia Min performed dazzlingly on the battlefield, it was this veteran of the artillery battalion who controlled the overall situation, he belonged to the role of the squad leader, which seemed inconspicuous, but the role of the connection did not let the two fierce horses run away.
The three people are like three sharp knives, stabbed into the trenches of the Japanese army, the strength of people, can not change a battle, but on the battlefield of equal strength, can be turned into the last straw, pressed up.
Thanks to them, the pressure on the landing US troops was greatly reduced, and one by one, they rushed out, the rifles in their hands spitting fire.
At this point, the Japanese could only use their own weapons at the bottom of the box, and in the sound of 'crunch', six Type 97 medium tanks rushed out of the bushes.
Unlike the competition of tens of millions of tanks on the European battlefield, the Japanese army's industrial base is relatively weak, and every guy is used as a mobile fortress.
Because the heavy weapons of the US military have not yet been transported ashore, a few artillery shots, seven or eight soldiers were blown to pieces, killing and wounding is only one aspect, more importantly, morale has been greatly affected, and several GIs have begun to hesitate, hiding in the craters and firing cold guns, paddling in the popular sense.
Xia Min is the most battlefield smell, it looks bad, his heel is raised, the metal boots are slammed upward, a large amount of steam is sprayed out, flying away, and falling near one of the tanks, regardless of the bullets of the Japanese soldiers who followed behind, first used the armor-piercing bullet of the Vulcan cannon to break the opponent's metal track, and then turned on the second function - knife light meat mixer!
Knife Light Meat Mixer: The barrel of the gun ejects 16 carbon alloy steel blades, which turn into a whirlwind of blades at a high speed of 500 revolutions
The high-speed rotation of the barrel was like a drill, and it was inserted into the thin steel plate of the tank, and the flesh and blood splattered out, reflecting Xia Min, who was dressed in black armor, like a butcher.
Draw the gourd in the same way, when the third tank was destroyed, Officer Xia ignored one thing, that is, the brutality of the Japanese army in this era, the remaining three tanks turned their muzzles almost at the same time, and the one that was stirred through changed the direction and rushed towards the place where the gunfire was intensive, Xia Min in the single combat armor was almost dragged forward, half of his arm was trapped in it, and he couldn't pull it out!
Tang Long and Gao Tiger noticed this danger at the same time in the other two corners of the battlefield, the former directly used the slide of the magic speed boots, and the power of the tonnage of the charged fist gloves directly changed the direction of one of the cannon muzzles; The tall tiger was faster, and the laser cannon fired a beam of light with all its might, shooting through one of the tanks.
But there was still a car that did not come and took control, and the shells carried the tank with people, and it exploded into a burst of fire, which was reflected in the eyes of the two...... (To be continued.) )
