Chapter 355: Attack

The pilot on the bomber, no matter what kind of miserable situation is below.

They were given the task of dropping all the bombs on the plane over the heads of the invaders.

Despite the heavy losses in the Japanese camp, more than a thousand Japanese, apparently, is not a problem that can be completely solved by eight aerial bombs.

Especially when the camp was in shambles, and the plaster flag in the middle of the camp was still fluttering in the wind.

Whether it was Sam Dudley, or the pilot of the bomber, it was particularly glaring.

So, the bomber pilots, after completing the turn, repeated the bombing maneuver again at the Japanese camp.

The whole Japanese camp was ploughed, especially the disgusting plaster flag.

Be sure to let him fall completely.

It is a pity that the current aerial bomb is not a laser-guided bomb of later generations, let alone a missile. So, the accuracy is actually very worrisome.

The bomber pilots, after two bombings, were still unable to knock down the stubborn plaster flag.

This made all the pilots feel very embarrassed and cursed in the communication channels.

It's a pity that the TBF Avenger bombers they fly can only carry a maximum of one 2,000-pound bomb, or four 500-pound bombs.

And this time they were armed with 500-pound aerial bombs, and after two rounds of bombing, their bullets were empty.

No matter how unwilling you are in your heart, you can only choose to return helplessly.

The fighter pilots in charge of escorting the escort didn't want to go back like this and get nothing.

They turned the nose of the plane directly, and the figures that could be seen near the camp were a low-altitude dive, and then, with the six machine guns on the nose, they fired wildly.

The Japanese, who had been hiding in the jungle and continued to observe the situation, were so frightened that they hid in the jungle one after another.

This is obviously not what Sam Dudley wants to see, because the more scattered the Japanese, the more difficult it is to annihilate them.

So, Sam Dudley was directly in the channel and called:

"Birdie One, Birdie Two, please stop your reckless behavior at once.

In this way, you will drive the Japanese into the jungle, which is not conducive to the later attack.

Please return to your escort position, over! ”

Pilots are young people with a certain cultural foundation, and of course they are not stupid people.

After hearing Sam Dudley's reminder, they all reacted, and said with some shame:

"Bird One, Roger!

Thanks for the hummingbird reminder, done! ”

"Bird Two, Roger!

Now detached, done! ”

Mizuno Nobuyi and Kobayashi Hisaku, who had been hiding in the jungle, saw the enemy in the sky and finally left, and Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yaga! Damn, now what do we do! ”

Mizuno Nobuyi's face was pale, looking at the camp that had been basically wiped out, and asked Kobayashi Kusaku's opinion through gritted teeth.

This attack method obviously refreshed Kobayashi's cognition.

Fortunately, on the Russo-Japanese battlefield, he has experienced more cruel scenes,

Since there is no way out, it is obviously useless to hide.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to speak:

"An air strike simply cannot occupy the island, and the enemy will inevitably send infantry to land in the end.

The terrain of this island is complex, and there are not many suitable places for landing.

In my opinion, the most likely place for the enemy to land is in the direction of the pier.

My opinion is that we must gather our men and go to the docks to establish a defensive line.

Give the enemy infantry who are preparing to land, inflict a lot of casualties.

As long as we can keep their infantry off the coastline,

Then the island will inevitably remain under our control.

If the enemy continues to bomb with aircraft, we just need to disperse and hide in the jungle so that they can't find us. ”

Although Kobayashi's plan seems reasonable and in fact, it is full of loopholes.

But among the Japanese here, only Kobayashi Hisaku has served in the army.

You simply can't find the loopholes hidden in this plan, for example, they don't have ammunition at all, and how long they can fight.

Now their camp has been completely destroyed, and all the necessities of life have been lost.

Today's lunch is not settled, and how long they can survive when they are hungry is a serious problem.

But the Japanese, who had already been bombed by the planes, obviously did not have time to pay attention to this.

After hearing Kobayashi's analysis, I felt that it made sense.

When everyone is at a loss, there is one person who can stand up and make a suggestion that seems to be solid.

It's almost natural for everyone to choose to follow this advice, it's human nature.

Therefore, despite the heavy losses, everyone still slowly gathered together under the greeting of their companions and moved closer to the direction of the dock.

Although they were very careful, they did not escape Sam Dudley's eyes.

He quickly informed the fleet of the situation on the island.

And the specific coordinates of the enemy were reported to the command center.

On the warship on the sea, the gun jackets of the naval guns had already been torn off and reported to the batteries along with the coordinate data one by one.

The huge naval guns began to turn their direction in unison, moving up and down, and quickly finished aiming.

The camera on the warship clearly captured the aiming of the ship's guns, which looked extremely shocking.

At the sound of an order, all the naval guns directly began to fire a salvo.

The moment the cannon fire broke out, the firelight accompanied by smoke, and the deafening explosion made the blood of the videographer in charge of photography boil.

And the Japanese, who were gathering in the jungle, soon heard a piercing scream.

Before everyone could react to what had happened, flames erupted in the ranks.

Blasting the crowd that had just gathered into the air.

The well-informed veteran Kobayashi Kusaku shouted as soon as he heard the scream:

"Shelling! Hidden, everyone scattered. ”

As he spoke, he pressed Mizuno Nobuyi to the ground, and dragged him desperately towards the jungle.

Unfortunately, his cries were completely muffled by the sound of shell explosions and did not serve any role as a reminder.

Fortunately, these Japanese had already been bombed by aerial bombs once, and the moment the explosion sounded, everyone began to flee desperately.

Some smart people also learned from Kobayashi's movements, and directly lay down and crawled towards the depths of the jungle.

There are no battleships in the Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier battle group, and there are no large-caliber naval guns with a caliber of more than 200 millimeters at every turn.

But on the Cleveland-class cruiser, the power of the four triple 152mm caliber guns is enough to make people feel desperate.

In just one minute, a small area of one square kilometer was bombarded by more than 40 rounds of heavy artillery.

By the time the cannonade finally stopped, the Japanese crowd that had just gathered had been completely shattered.

Where has Mizuno Nobuyi experienced such a cruel scene.

Looking at the ground with minced meat and a messy battlefield, the whole person fell into a state of sluggishness.

The mouth unconsciously muttered:

"It's over, it's all over."

Kobayashi Kusaku on the side saw Mizuno Nobuyi's appearance, and knew that the other party was too strongly stimulated, and his spirit was a little disordered.

You can only get up on your own and look for survivors on the battlefield.

But there are no Japanese still standing on the battlefield today.

As he searched, he cried out loudly:

"Is there anything alive?

Answer me, is there anything alive?

The living are drawing closer to me.

Is there anyone alive? ”

After Kobayashi's difficult search,

From the pits of the earth, all the people who had buried the dust kicked up by the explosion gathered together.

There are more than 1,000 Japanese people, but after a round of bombing by planes and a round of naval artillery bombing, there are less than 100 people who can still stand normally.

And, there was only deep fear left on the faces of these people.

Now they can't even hold the weapons in their hands, let alone organize them into battle.

These were Japanese farmers who had no training.

In just a few tens of minutes, they have experienced such blows in a row, not to mention them.

Even well-trained fighters are going to collapse completely.

Seeing this situation, Kobayashi Kusaku, the only one who was normal, shook his head helplessly, sighed heavily, and then sat down on the ground with a dejected face.

At this moment, the two tank landing craft on the sea have slowly begun to approach the pier.

The bombers returning to the aircraft carrier have also been reloaded and are ready to take off at any time to provide air cover for the troops that are about to land.

The main force responsible for the attack this time, in addition to the ten squads with the most outstanding results in infiltration training, more than 100 people.

It was the 1st Battalion of Marines led by Duarte who finally broke out of the encirclement.

And now in the two tank landing craft, it is the 10 squads with the most outstanding results in infiltration training that are tasked with assault missions.

Although, because of the change in the situation, the original infiltration operation plan has become the current beach-rushing landing.

But the soldiers still felt very excited, after all, this rare opportunity to fight in real combat can not only get wartime allowances.

You can also get combat merits and priority promotion opportunities.

Who doesn't want to be promoted and get rich.

In the Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier battle group, there are only two ways to get promoted and make a fortune, that is, to get real credit.

When there is no actual combat, everyone is evaluated through training and gets the opportunity for promotion.

You can't fake this, you can only rely on yourself or lead your team to train hard, show real strength, and defeat your competitors.

You've got a chance.

But the actual combat is different, and there is a great deal of uncertainty.

Although it is dangerous, it can be life-threatening.

But if you're lucky, you'll be able to make a big deal if you're not careful, and it's much easier than getting promoted through training.

Therefore, everyone is looking forward to having the opportunity to participate in the actual battle.

The ten squads that served as commandos this time are not the ten most powerful squads in the entire Marine Corps, but they are definitely the first echelon of combat effectiveness.

The people in the tank landing craft did not feel any pressure of battle at all.

They now all know who their opponents are and what kind of weapons they have.

After a round of bombardment by the air force and naval artillery, it is difficult to say how much the other side will be able to leave.

On their side, they are covered by air force and navy artillery.

If this is not enough to easily wipe out a group of Japanese dwarfs who have just picked up arms, then they might as well take a piece of tofu and kill them.

"Sam, show me your new guy!"

"What's so nice to look at, it's just a weapon to be experimented with."

"I can help you experiment! How about I invite you to eat at the Proud Mansion when I go back? ”

"Get out! Do I look like an idiot?

This is an opportunity that Lao Tzu finally obtained, don't argue,

When this battle is over, I invite the whole class to eat at the Proud Building. ”

"Let's see what it matters, and I'll pay it back to you when I get out."

", everyone has been together for so long, who doesn't know who!"

"Hey......

The crowd around them burst into laughter.

It turned out that Fang Lang handed over the new rifle gun used for testing to the best marksmanship in the commando team.

The comrades-in-arms were envious one by one.

This guy is like a light machine gun, and can shoot as many bullets at the enemy in the shortest amount of time.

On the battlefield, there is not much time for you to aim, and if you can shoot as many bullets as possible in the shortest time, you may kill the opponent before the enemy and hold your own life.

So, everyone is very enthusiastic about these new guns.

Just as everyone was talking and laughing, the officer on the landing craft suddenly shouted loudly:

"Everyone prepares, one last check of weapons and equipment, and we will dock in thirty seconds.

The landing craft cannon will provide you with the necessary cover, good luck. ”

The commandos on the boat all looked stunned, knowing that it was their turn.

Stop talking and laughing, and start to check your weapons seriously, and at the same time help your comrades around you to check them.

For a moment, the cabin was filled with the sound of bolts pulling.

The fighters all took a deep long breath to stabilize their emotions, and then pressed their left hands on their comrades in front of them.

Bend your knees slightly, lower your posture, and prepare to get out of the warehouse.

Standing in the front row, all of them strong, carried their guns behind their backs and raised a huge iron shield with both hands.

Get ready for the rain of bullets at the moment you open the door.

This was specially prepared by Fang Lang for the commandos, and he knew very well that the landing craft were actually not safe after watching the Normandy landing movies in later generations.

An enemy machine gun fired at a strafing could make a boatload of men reimburse directly.

So, from the experience of later generations, he thought of using this steel bulletproof shield to defend against the first wave of attacks that the enemy might come.

As long as the fighters in the front row are holding their shields on their heads, they rush off the landing craft.

The fighters had a chance to spread out on the beach, although, this did not leave all the attacking fighters unharmed.

But it also minimizes damage in the first wave.

As a Marine Corps, how to launch an attack from a landing craft is a key training subject for them.

So, the rest will test the warriors' own technical and tactical level.

Soon, the thirty seconds countdown was over, and the landing ship slowly approached a fairly gentle beach.

The expected blow did not come, and even the 20mm cannon used for cover on the landing craft did not respond.

But the sudden and violent shaking of the hull of the ship still made the commandos understand that the landing craft had come ashore.

Just when everyone was still stunned, the huge baffle in front of the landing craft "Peng" smashed directly to the ground, splashing a piece of seawater.

The officer behind him shouted:

“go,go,go! let's go! ”

"Quick, quick, quick, everyone don't stay in the boat, rush out and look for cover.

Hurry, hurry, hurry! ”

As the baffle fell, the fighters did not need to be urged by the officer at all, and quickly followed behind the fighters in front of them, and rushed out of the landing craft.

The fighters, having disembarked, did not immediately disperse, but, under the cover of shields, continued to move forward.
