How could the National Guard stationed at the mountain pass checkpoint have expected the Ming army to attack so soon, and they received a phone call an hour and a half earlier informing them that "some civilians evacuated from the town of Kaneohe may pass through here."

Now, they can only keep shooting and strafing to relieve their panic and fear.

The BAR Browning automatic rifle is designed with a fixed barrel and is not intended to be used as a light machine gun, so in order to make it barely qualified for the task of light machine guns, the US military specially changed to a model with a heavy barrel.

But the inexperienced rookies didn't know how to control the firepower, and the three Browning automatic rifles continued to strafe, looking particularly fierce, completely overpowering the three light machine guns of the Ming Army's forward platoon below.

But the price of this is that after several twenty-round magazines have been fired in a row, the automatic rifle with a red-hot barrel cannot be fired, and the bullets flying out of the muzzle are flying indiscriminately, and the spread is too large to see.

Ming soldiers wearing felt hats, draped in canvas triptychs, opened fire with automatic rifles and submachine guns, sweeping across the Nuanupari Pass.

Come on! Occupying a condescending, easy-to-defend and difficult position, it can really infuriate people to death when they are attacked by a small number of enemies.

The Ming soldiers used grenades to attack the enemy on their backs, and the gunpowder gas fired by the empty cartridges pushed out the grenades, which fell near the enemy and exploded.

Some of the other bombs exploded into columns of water, and some landed on the deck of the ship and burst into dazzling flames.

In the waters north of the Mokapu Peninsula, the Ming landing fleet was observing an air battle at this time.

Not to mention the trenches here, there are not even the most basic foxholes, and the Ming officers and soldiers who lack the cover of field fortifications continue to suffer casualties.

"I'm sorry sir, we have a limited number of shells, and if we keep firing rapidly, we'll run out of shells soon."

At 10:45, as mortar shells whistled down on the mountain pass, the first counterattack of the American forces began.

The main shooter of the first squad of light machine guns fired six shots with the revolver and failed to hit the enemy in front of him, and he rushed over in anger and threw the American soldier who had just drawn his pistol to the ground.

He closed his eyes and shouted: "It is impossible for this place to change hands before I die, brothers, the time has come to be loyal to the country, and Bo will be famous!" ”

"Run! Run! Run! Forget about the high machine just yet! Xiao Wenquan pulled his leg as he ordered.

Due to the overheating of the Browning automatic rifle, the firepower of this National Guard infantry detachment suddenly thinned, and the rest of them were equipped with Springfield bolt-action rifles, which were not comparable to the semi-automatic rifles used by the army.

The National Guard's attire was different from that of the Army, and they also wore British Tommy helmets, and in the face of the aggressive Ming army, panic quickly enveloped everyone's hearts.

The two sides immediately engaged in hand-to-hand combat, and the shouts of bloody hand-to-hand combat echoed in the mountains.

The officers and men of the reconnaissance battalion generally disliked the bulky steel helmets, and they felt that they were in the way when infiltrating and probing the enemy—a "custom" that originated from the 1st Marine Brigade.

The Ming fleet opened fire with all its might, minesweepers, destroyers, cruisers...... Shells of different calibers shot into the sky, forming a dense barrage.

Two, four, six...... A steady stream of U.S. infantry climbed the pass, throwing grenades and rifles at each other, vigilantly advancing little by little.

"Either way, we have to take it back. Do you understand? Now, let's go! ”

The current situation could not be more preferable, and it was the same for anyone to come, and Major Barron could only order his men to attack in waves.

The Ming soldiers who followed the pursuit stopped on the mountain pass and fired downward with their guns.

They swooped down at high speed, and after a few seconds, everyone saw an enemy plane dragging black smoke into the sea, and the whole fleet immediately applauded.

A 500-pound bomb fell impartially into the second chimney of the Enra freighter, triggering a dull series of explosions.

The U.S. troops gradually approached the position, and they were only a dozen paces away.

This blow was like a trumpet, and in an instant, the remaining officers and men of the forward platoon on the position got up from their respective positions and rushed forward.

The leading shooter of the first squad was wounded by a bullet in the left arm, and he casually tied it with a triangular scarf and pulled out a revolver from the pistol holster at his waist.

Zhang Tianshan calmly loaded the magazine, loaded it, opened the safe, and aimed at the enemy dozens of meters away.

It's useless to be angry now, the only hope is that the Ming army that suddenly captured the mountain pass may be just a small detachment that hastily penetrates here?

The advantages of geographical advantages are vividly reflected here, so some passes will have the title of being a husband and a man.

In the continuous muffled gunshots, he felt several punches in the abdomen. At this juncture, he saw the grenade hanging from the blue-eyed enemy, and he reached down and pulled the tab.

The subsequent arrival of several landing ships and freighters went smoothly, and they delivered the technical equipment and hundreds of officers and men of the 4th Marine Brigade and 7th Regiment.

"Sergeant, they're approaching! We can't hold on! ”

"How many of them are there?"

The second echelon that came after them stepped over the casualties and rushed quickly towards the mountain pass not far away.

At this time, a 7.36×56mm rifle shell fired from the shadows hit the US sergeant who was giving orders.

All the weapons and equipment abandoned by the enemy were also used, but the officers and men of the reconnaissance battalion did not like the captured Browning automatic rifle, feeling that its recoil was too great to be compared with the Type 40 short automatic rifle.

He held the magazine of a Browning automatic rifle in his hand, and there were a few empty Garand eight-round clips scattered around him, and he pulled out the 7.62×63mm rifle round by round and pressed it into the magazine, and now he had enough two.

"Machine guns! The machine gun is going to fight! Someone yelled.

"Shut up! Fools, hold this line! ”

Bursts of 60mm and 81mm mortar shells flew out of the guns and landed on the Nuanupari Pass in a towering parabolic trajectory, filling the rudimentary positions of the forward platoon.

The officers and men of Company F of the 21st Infantry Regiment walked cautiously to inspect the battlefield where the brutal battle had just ended.

"Damn! Why do you have so little shelling?! ”

At 11:37, the Americans launched a third attack.

The officers and men of the reconnaissance battalion, who were hurrying up the mountain pass, did not have time to rest, and went straight to attack F Company, which had not yet gained a firm foothold.

What is it like to fight against the elite? This can be confusing in all respects, because many of the military's elites have their own unique skills.

Seeing that the frequency of his own mortar fire decreased, he angrily questioned the microphone of the field phone.

The U.S. infantrymen who had been hit by bullets and fragments were shouting for help, and some people rolled down the hill with a grunt.

"Da-da-da-da-da-"

"My God, what is the use of more shells if this pass is lost? Now, you can fire as much as you can! ”

Through his binoculars, Major Barron saw small black dots thrown from a distant mountain pass explode in mid-air - several grenades exploded in the air in quick succession, a few meters above the ground.

At the same time, in the foothills southwest of the Nuanupari Storm, the defeated National Guard soldiers were brought to Major Barron, who had been ordered to come for reinforcements.

Twenty-six-zero-five: fsevenzero-zero: four-three: six-zero-zero-zero:: seven-seven-four

The intensity of the battle was such that the barrel and spare barrel of the Type 33 light machine gun were so overheated that it was impossible to fire any more.

An 81mm high-explosive shell fell behind the light machine gun team of the third squad, only two meters away.

The remnants of a dozen National Guard soldiers fled, and some of the most cowardly rushed out of the cliff in a panic, and the terrible howl of falling from the cliff echoed in the mountains.

This is...... Enemy reinforcements!

In a bush to the southeast, Zhang Tianshan, a sniper in the forward platoon, did not participate in the previous melee hand-to-hand combat.

Yu Daixin, commander of the 4th Marine Brigade, looked at the ships with blank eyes, most of his troops' trucks, mules and horses, wheeled armored vehicles, heavy mortars, and supplies were still on these transport ships and freighters, but two of them were already on fire.

When the first Marine scout rushed to the Nuanupari Pass, the balance of victory and defeat in the battle was tipped in favor of the Ming army.

A second lieutenant raised his hand in a cheerful salute and reported to Major Barron, "Sir! We took control of the mountain pass! Now ......"

At a distance of fifty meters, it seems that the enemy lying on the ground is more likely to hit?

A rifle flew out of the muzzle of the Browning automatic rifle, easily piercing the M1 steel helmet, penetrating the head of an American infantryman, shattering the back of the head, and the brain-stained steel helmet flew several meters high......

The bayonet was no longer shiny, because it was stained with dark red blood.

The grenades had run out, and the last two thrown out had only bought a minute more to breathe.

"Captain, why haven't they come yet?!" Someone asked aloud and eagerly.

Major Barron took an M1 steel helmet from his lieutenant and put it on after removing his large-brimmed hat.

The U.S. infantrymen with Garand rifles bowed forward as they fired, and they were only forty meters away from the pass.

Now, the battalion and company mortar detachments began to line up 60mm and 81mm mortars, the signal corps laid telephone lines from front to back, and the officers organized the offensive as soon as possible.

"Boom!"

The two calves of the main shooter were broken off like twigs, and the shock wave swept them away; The second shooter's left foot was missing, because he happened to be changing the magazine for the light machine gun, so the upper body was erect, and two high-speed fragments hit the back and pierced into the lungs.

The unloading mission was underway, and a convoy of U.S. planes taking off from Lanai Island pounced.

Zhou Changfeng was also watching the battle from the platform outside the bridge of the Kunlun Mountain, but he was absent-minded.

Then, two 7.36×40mm intermediate power catapults came, piercing the sergeant's torso like chopsticks stabbing tofu.

"A bunch of rats! Eat your grandpa's bullets! ”

The situation could not be further entangled, dozens of enemies could be seen approaching, and English shouts could be heard diagonally below.

Excluding those who had been killed in the previous battle, those who were seriously wounded, and the forward platoon that could not be left in the line of fire with minor injuries was only 30 people.

After a few minutes, the shouting and killing on the mountain pass calmed down.

After the first echelon was blocked, they lay down on the spot, refused to retreat, and insisted on firing at the enemy who was only a few dozen meters apart.

"Everyone get into the battle position, don't be idle, dig fortifications!" Zhao Cheng carried a gun and walked quickly to inspect, and said as he walked: "Also, send a report, the staff has captured the target mountain pass and is engaged in battle with the enemy. ”

A quarter of an hour later, the forward platoon spotted a crowd of people west of the gravel road in the mountains to the southwest, and when they looked closely, they saw countless gray figures trotting forward.

At the same moment, the foothills to the east of the mouth of the Nuanupari gale.

Under the cover of smoke bombs, dozens of people from a platoon of the reconnaissance battalion divided into two echelons and launched an assault, and the sound of whistles and shouts of killing echoed among the mountains of the Koolao Ridge.

The American soldiers, who were caught off guard, were powerless to parry, and the cowardice of a few people led to a massive retreat.

Because the mountain road is narrow, the formation is relatively dense even if it has been elongated. The grenades thrown by the enemy exploded in the crowd, and the officers and men who were knocked down by the fragments and shock waves rolled down the hill.

Suddenly, a red flare flew into the sky, and everyone looked at it in unison.

Hearing this, Major Barron, whose blood pressure soared, blurted out the word "nuts".

Zhao Cheng threw aside the Type 40 short automatic rifle that had run out of bullets, picked up a Chuntian rifle on the ground, and pulled out a bayonet from the waist of the killed National Guard soldier and loaded it.

The large sergeant scolded his timid men, but within seconds he was wounded by a smoke-emitting grenade.

At 10:19, the forward platoon had basically taken control of the pass, and all that was left of the checkpoint was corpses and a mess.

At that moment, several blue-painted twin-engine planes suddenly appeared in the clouds, which were the four Air Force Type 38 heavy fighters patrolling here.

U.S. officers and soldiers who were shot turned into human flesh, often knocking down a group of people by one person.

"About fifty ...... Or more, sir......"

This is a bad sign, and the officers and men cannot help but feel nervous.

Major Barron led the 2nd Battalion of the 21st Regiment of the 24th Division, and their base was in the northern suburbs of Honolulu, so they were the first to receive reinforcements after learning that the Ming army had landed in Mokapu.

The detachment led by Xiao Wenquan arrived, and they had just heard the sound of dense gunfire coming from the mountain pass, but it became more and more sparse.

The only sergeant who could speak English knocked down two people in a row with a submachine gun and shouted, "Die, how fucking long can you be later than us?!" ”

Six minutes later, the first counterattack collapsed, and the officers and men of F Company, who had participated in the attack, retreated.

Because of the limited width of the battlefield, it was really difficult for the troops to deploy, and only two platoons could be put into an attack, and at most no more than one company.

At this time, a faint whistle suddenly came from the other side of the pass.

The rhythmic single-shot point shot landed on the ground like autumn sunset leaves, and the lethal bullets fired from the side hit five or six people in ten seconds.

The dense array of prefabricated fragments ejected from the bursting of directional mines was terrifying, and large quantities of steel balls and short steel rods shattered the flesh into a blur of flesh.

There was a lack of bunkers and fortifications, and the soldiers had to rely on depressions, ridges, and stones to block the attack.

More than 100 people of F Company fled in panic and collided head-on with G Company, which was following up for reinforcements, and the result was that G Company, which was not known for unknown reasons, was also dragged back by the crowd.

The grenades became a defensive weapon, and the American soldiers who charged along the gravel path were blasted by the grenades.

The communications staff officer suddenly rushed in three steps and two steps, clasped his fists and saluted, and happily reported: "The partial division has called!" The Nuanaupari Pass has been captured and is engaged with reinforcements! ”

Zhou Changfeng's expression suddenly soothed, he took a deep breath, and ordered in a resolute tone: "Let them get stuck in place like an awl!" ”
