Chapter 62: A Different Japanese Army (Second Watch)
On Fuzhou Avenue, a unit wearing U.S. military equipment is patrolling. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info They split into two columns and walked on both sides of the road, searching for this forward in the direction of Purandian.
They were a platoon of the mountain troops, and their current position was across the Anzi River, on Fuzhou Avenue near Pulandian. A few days ago, patrols that crossed the Saddle River would not have crossed the Saddle River for foot patrols.
But now the situation has changed, and many people who have returned from Jinzhou City have returned to their homes one after another. Many of the previously uninhabited small villages on the banks of the Anzi River began to smoke again.
The traversers had to expand their patrols outwards to protect the returning natives from the Japanese army.
The members of this patrol are very experienced, and they are obviously familiar with this kind of foot patrol. In fact, in the entire base, all the crossing people belonging to the combat units who are not familiar with patrolling, in Afghanistan and Iraq they do the most of this kind of work.
Their eyes kept searching around, but their mouths kept chattering. This is a unique skill of American soldiers, who are dedicated to dual use.
The conversation revolved around today's haircut event in the Orange District, with many people complaining about why they were doing a haircut when it was their turn to be on patrol. That's a novice girl giving a barber to the GI, and the name MissFox is still on the list of barbers.
Many two-dimensional otaku feel that it doesn't matter if they miss the football game, but without this opportunity to get close to the popular online anchor MissFox, it is really distressing.
Suddenly, the spearhead of the platoon raised his hand and clenched it into a fist. This gesture is a signal for all people to stop moving forward. Although the soldiers were chatting with their mouths, their eyes were constantly observing their surroundings. As soon as the spearhead gestured, everyone stopped silently.
The platoon commander who led the team called a person to ask the top soldiers, and at this time, the officer leading the team could not communicate with the top soldiers himself, so as to avoid being targeted by enemy snipers. Of course, it would be different if everyone wore a communicator, and they could directly ask the Spearhead via radio.
The spearhead of the platoon noticed that something was wrong with the fallen leaves in the groves on both sides of the road, thirty meters away. First of all, there are too many fallen leaves. Secondly, I feel that some fallen leaves do not belong to the trees in this forest.
You can't blame the spearhead of this platoon for being sensitive, after experiencing the baptism of battle in the light curtain of the dome for six months, the traversers who can survive have not experienced more than ten or twenty ambushes, and they are embarrassed to talk to others.
The spearhead who had walked the patrol route earlier soon noticed the difference between the woods today and the last time they patrolled. Although it is early winter, the leaves are constantly falling, but it is a bit unreasonable to accumulate so thick all at once.
After receiving the report from the top soldiers, the platoon commander was about to make a gesture for the soldiers in the platoon to disperse to find cover, when suddenly gunfire rang out in the grove. Immediately after that, a large number of Japanese soldiers appeared in the pile of fallen leaves, and rushed towards them with a loud and strange scream.
“TakeCover! GoHot! The platoon commander shouted to the infantry to disperse for cover and shoot back.
Where am I in the three philosophical questions of ambushes? Who's beating me? What about my teammates? The platoon commander, who has been ambushed many times in his life, has been able to answer perfectly. While directing the team to find cover and counterattack on the spot, he reported the ambush to the base through the radio.
Facing the soldiers who shouted Wanzai with a rifle with a bayonet, the fool knew that it was the Japanese who ambushed them. As for the teammates, the Humvee behind is coming. As for where this was, the sober-minded platoon commander quickly gave the order.
"The first squad took the wounded and evacuated to the F12 area first. Others opened fire on the spot for cover. The platoon commander shouted the order.
Compared with other skills, in terms of counter-ambush, the traversers have already been regarded as cultivated. All kinds of response plans have been prepared long ago, and the commander of the ambushed unit just needs to go according to the plan. If it weren't for the large number of Japanese troops and the close enough distance of the attack, it is really hard to say what they would have achieved with such an ambush.
The first squad retreated with three wounded who had been shot first, and went to the area marked on the map with this F12. It was a small village that had been abandoned for many years, standing on a small hill, just over 500 meters behind the patrol. There were dilapidated houses and stone walls that provided shelter for patrols.
Although the Japanese were ten times outnumbered by the Crossing Crowd, they attacked in a hurry, the formation was not fully extended, and they did not take advantage of the fire with the patrols with automatic firepower.
It's just that the Japanese army is now charging forward uncharacteristically, which makes the patrol a little strange. Except for the first exchange of fire, the Japanese army has long ceased to carry out this kind of 10,000-year charge. In the face of a crowd of traversers armed with automatic rifles and machine guns, this tactic suffered too many casualties, and the charging troops were prone to collapse.
However, today's Japanese army is really a little different, except for the fierce and fearless charge, their firepower density is higher than that of the Japanese troops encountered in the past. The patrol clearly heard the sound of machine guns, or bursts, of the opposite side, although the continuous fire lasted for a relatively short period of time. The frequency of firing from the Japanese infantry was also much higher than before, and it was clear that they were equipped with the best Murata Type 13 five-round rifle in the Japanese army.
The patrol methodically retreated to F12, intending to hold on to the abandoned hamlet and wait for reinforcements. Although three people were shot, they all wore body armor, and the wounded were able to move on their own with the support of their comrades.
As soon as the patrol entered the abandoned village, Japanese artillery fire came.
“Incoming! "The mountain infantrymen shouted loudly, either for cover or for lying on the spot.
Two shells hit this small village, although it was still the kind of black powder loaded warhead shells, but the pure infantry mountain troops were enough to choke on the Japanese artillery, and two more soldiers were wounded.
"Attacked by enemy artillery fire, repeatedly, we were attacked by Japanese troops in the F12 area." The patrol shouted loudly over the radio.
"This is Vulture No. 1, two Japanese 70-mm mountain guns were spotted, firing at our troops at a distance of 800 meters from the F12 area. Request for fire support. Li Sifeng reported to the base.
The Japanese artillery and patrols were eight hundred meters away and were outside the DangerCose area. The Mustang OV-10D has a number of ways to support ground forces, either by diving with four 7.62mm machine guns on board and a 23mm cannon under the belly, or by bombarding it directly with the Hellfire missiles it carries.
Zhao Yi denied Li Sifeng's request to open fire, and he did not want to expose the secret of the plane's attack capability.
Hearing that the Japanese were supported by artillery fire, the approaching Humvee convoy stopped more than two kilometers from the place of the firefight. The Japanese mountain artillery and field artillery were captured through the crowd. According to the confessions of the prisoners of war, the Japanese army claimed that the firing range of these mountain and field guns was nearly 3,000 meters. However, after the test firing of the Penetrators, they were also accurate at a distance of 1,000 to 1,500 meters, and this was still the result of the advanced computer system used by the Penetrators to measure their trajectory and adjust it.
Therefore, the Japanese generally advanced the artillery to a distance of a thousand meters before firing. Humvees were not tanks, they could not withstand the bombardment of mountain artillery, so they stopped outside the range of Japanese artillery fire. Two soldiers removed a green cylinder from the Humvee.
It was the US military's "Javelin" anti-tank missile, a British-made individual anti-tank missile with a range of 2,500 meters. The firing range is about the same as that of the Japanese mountain artillery on paper, but the accuracy cannot be the same.
In pairs, the soldiers began to operate the Javelin anti-tank missiles, aiming at the two Japanese mountain guns that were firing.
Using the 9x white light aiming mode, the operating GI locked onto a Japanese mountain gun. At the push of the button, a missile burst out of the launcher with a tail flame and flew towards the Japanese mountain artillery. The two-person launch team left the launch site immediately after the launch and hid in the bushes on the side of the road.
