Chapter 426: Battle Wake Island Again

The night sky of Wake Island was completely lit up by artillery fire.

The aboriginal team commanded by Yu Guilai fought with the death squads of the Japanese army that constantly rushed onto the beach.

Using rifles and grenades, they repelled wave after wave of attacks by Japanese death squads.

After nearly two hours of fierce fighting, nearly 1,000 Japanese daredevils were wiped out, and except for two soldiers who were seriously wounded and captured, none of them survived.

Nine of the troops led by Yu Guilai were killed and two were wounded, which can be said to be a complete victory, but this was only a corner of the overall war, and the Japanese landing ships in front of them were transporting soldiers to the beach one after another, regardless of their own injuries.

"Fire fire, fire! We must not let the little devil unload people comfortably from the boat, kill one more now, and we will have a better chance of winning when we fight hand-to-hand later! ”

Tang Dong was anxious when he saw it, he asked the soldiers beside him for a rifle, and personally killed several Japanese squad leaders who were commanding on the front line.

But on the front position, they were on the defensive, but the side position was not so lucky.

Under the impact of the Japanese army's lifeless general, a gap was broken out of the flank defense line of Wake Island, and the defenders failed to rescue them several times, and at dawn, the sky was just dawning, and the two aircraft carriers of the Japanese army, the "Flying Dragon" and the "Soryu", all carrier-based aircraft were ready to go, and roared into the sky under the orders of their commander Yamaguchi Tawen.

"Beware of enemy planes! Find cover~~Get down~~! ”

Yu Guilai3 heard the whirring hum and knew that something was wrong, the sky was already bright, all the planes on the enemy aircraft carrier had risen into the air, and the night storm had stopped a lot at the moment, and now was the moment when they really faced the test.

With the arrival of dawn, the situation on Wake Island became more and more serious, after all, the defenders of the three islands together did not exceed 1,500 people, but at this time the Japanese troops who landed alone were far more than 1,000 people, and there were still hundreds of defenders who could not move on the gun positions, and the same was true for the anti-aircraft machine guns and searchlights.

In other words, Tang Dong and his troops had to face more than 1,000 Japanese troops who had landed, and the bombing of the opposing planes made the defenders' artillery fire stagnant, many machine gun towers were blown up, and many cannons could not be fired, and the balance of victory seemed to be tilted to the side of the Japanese army.

"Boom, boom~!"

Bombs continued to be dropped in the sky, anti-aircraft guns hidden in the woods were fired at full power, and two Japanese fighters were lucky to shoot down.

"Bah, bah~!"

A cannonball landed not far from Tang Dong's command room, and the stone chips on the ceiling of the earthquake were scattered, and he spat out a few mouthfuls of spit, glanced at the situation and said: "It's time to close the net, add some pressure behind the little devil!" ”

"Yes!"

The herald used the state-of-the-art radio equipment to contact the ships lying in ambush on both sides of the island, and ordered them to attack the rear of the Japanese army in a roundabout way, so that the two bitch-bitched aircraft carriers would suffer a little.

On the other side of the radio, the aircraft carrier "Shihuang" commanded by Lao Zhang came out from the side of Wake Island, and with dozens of gunboats on the other side, it began to launch a fierce attack on the two aircraft carriers "Feilong" and "Canglong" in the rear of the Japanese army.

"Our brothers are fighting bloody battles on the island, and the enemy's ass is pouting in front of us, and you can see how you want to beat yourself! All the fighters take to the skies, let them see the power of our pilots of the Longxing Academy! ”

Lao Zhang gave an order, and the fighters on the "First Emperor" rushed towards the enemy's aircraft carrier one after another.

However, Ooka had been holding a hand since the last attack, and he was not surprised to see the "First Emperor" appear, and hurriedly ordered to use his four heavy cruisers to escort the two aircraft carriers and charge the "First Emperor".

The lone aircraft carriers were extremely vulnerable in their defenses, and under siege from four heavy cruisers, they were barely able to fight back.

However, Lao Zhang's "First Emperor" did not think so, they also had more than 60 small gunboats and torpedo boats, don't look at these guys are small, ants bite elephants to death, and the killing effect of the weapons they carry is not small at all.

"Come on, this is our wolf pack tactics, stop those cruisers and give me a hard beating!"

Fast speed, nimble steering, gunboats carrying a large-caliber machine gun, surrounding the four heavy cruisers of the Japanese army, like annoying wasps, hit them and simply could not walk normally.

And those small torpedo boats were even more fatal, the two torpedoes carried on them could always blow up the weak point of the iron plate at the bottom of the cruiser, so that the bottom compartment of one of the heavy cruisers successfully seeped water, and the gurgling sea water gushed into it like a fountain, and the Japanese soldiers could not do it at all if they wanted to block it, and after a while, the huge iron guy appeared to tilt the hull.

The fighters of the "First Emperor" and the Japanese Zero fighters also fought in the air.

The performance of the aircraft of the Dragon Chamber of Commerce surpassed the Japanese Zero fighters in an all-round way, but there was a large gap in numbers, and this time the Japanese army came prepared, and the two aircraft carriers were carrying full fighters, which were almost twice as many as the defenders.

However, even so, the appearance of the aircraft carrier "Shi Huang" greatly relieved the pressure on the defenders of the island, who once again emerged from the bunkers and fortifications and began to shoot at the Japanese troops who were coming ashore one after another.

"Damn it, give me a charging gun! Blow the trumpet and drive these dogs back to the sea! ”

Tang Dong's command room had already been blown out of a big hole, so he put on his helmet, took the charge gun handed by the soldiers, and was the first to rush out of the command room.

With a burst of gunfire, the Japanese troops who charged inward from the beach fell in large pieces, but the two sides had been irreversibly broken through by the Japanese army, and many aborigines even started hand-to-hand combat with Japanese soldiers.

At this time, after cutting down a Japanese soldier, an aboriginal raised his head and wiped his face, just in time to see a Japanese troop transport ship below leaning towards the shore, ready to unload a shipload of soldiers.

He was standing right above the head of the troop carrier, and the native, who was probably red-eyed, concentrated the grenades of several of his fallen comrades on himself, pulled a lead, and jumped off the cliff with red eyes and screaming.

"Boom Boom~"

After a violent explosion, the troop transport ship full of Japanese soldiers was torn apart by an aboriginal who fell from the sky before it could let down the soldiers.

He single-handedly buried hundreds of Japanese soldiers at the bottom of the sea, and after this battle, Tang Dong learned that his name was Elrod and buried him in the Heroes' Cemetery, not only that, but in honor of his contribution to the battle, a main road on Wake Island was also named after him.

Elrod's bravery seemed to have affected the other natives as well, and they began to charge the dense Japanese phalanx with grenades, pulling a few more pads even if they didn't survive.

The defenders' desperate style of fighting made the Japanese soldiers, who liked to engage in suicide charges the most, feel frightened.

The sky grew brighter and brighter, and the defenders' banners were interrupted by artillery fire, but soon, the golden dragon banner representing the Dragon Chamber of Commerce was raised again in another building.

At the same time, in order not to injure their own people by artillery fire on the ship, the Japanese also planted their plaster flags in the positions they had occupied.

However, the snipers on the side of the Longxing Chamber of Commerce focused on those Japanese soldiers who planted the flag, and for a while, no one dared to help the Japanese flag fall, and they didn't know where the gun came from. How did those snipers manage to kill their targets calmly and accurately in such a chaotic environment?

Soon, the battle in the rear of the Japanese fleet became more and more fierce, Ooka sent sixteen destroyers to escort the two aircraft carriers in the rear, and Tang Dong also ordered the few remaining planes on Wake Island to take off at the same time to relieve the pressure on his own aircraft carriers.
