Chapter 427: "Katyusha" rocket artillery

When the time came to 7:30, the defenders who were desperately resisting on the beach were gradually exhausted, and more and more Japanese soldiers rushed onto the beach, increasing their numerical advantage.

"Brothers retreat back~ the beach can no longer be held, enter the second line of defense~!"

Tang Dong glanced at the situation and decisively ordered a retreat.

"Give it to you! Rush~~ The enemy is no longer good, take this island in one go! ”

Seeing that the defenders had begun to retreat in full, a Japanese squadron leader excitedly pulled out his long knife at his waist and motioned to the soldiers to kill all the enemies in one go.

But before he could finish speaking, a gunshot in the chaos made his whole body like a lightning strike, his body stiffened in place, and he paused for two seconds before falling backwards.

A bullet flew out of nowhere through his gaping mouth and out of the back of his head, killing his dog in an instant.

When the Japanese rushed into the defenders' fortifications, their originally excited expressions suddenly froze on their faces, and the first group of Japanese soldiers turned around, waved their hands, and shouted at their companions behind them: "Get out of here!" Get out of here! Bombs~~ are all bombs! ”

Yes, even if Tang Dong blew up all these defensive facilities, he would not leave it to the little devils to turn their guns and hit them.

Although the Japanese troops in front of them had already shouted hard to prevent their teammates from continuing to rush forward, how could the Japanese troops in the rear who had finally rushed to the beach stop their tracks?

Tang Dong, who was retreating, glanced at the increasingly crowded crowd, and said with a cruel smile: "Little devil, do you still like the gift that Lao Tzu left for you?" Let's go to heaven for Lao Tzu~! ”

He counted the time, pulled the lead of a grenade, and threw it back.

Seeing him do this, the other defenders lunged forward at the same time, holding their heads in search of cover.

In the fortifications where the bombs had been arranged in advance, there was a deafening explosion like a volcanic eruption.

Whether it was a bunker or a trench, all of them flew into the sky at this moment, and the earth, bricks, stones, and stumps and severed arms of Japanese soldiers were all mixed together and flew into the air.

This series of chain explosions made the footsteps of the Japanese army shocked, and the soldiers in the rear were all knocked to the ground by the oncoming heat wave, and the Japanese troops who were still in the troop transport ship secretly rejoiced, glad that they arrived relatively late, otherwise they would have been flying into the sky at this moment.

"Hell, keep charging! Don't be intimidated by the other side, the defensive offensive has been completely destroyed, catch them, not a single person on this island will be left! ”

Ooka's lungs are about to explode, to say that the last time was because they were careless, but this time not only got the full support of the military department, but the number of troops was more than twice that of the other party, if this can't be taken down, he can really be disemboweled on the spot and don't have to go back.

After the commander gave the death order, the squad leader, the captain of the front, and the commanders of each Cao drew their long knives, but anyone who was afraid of the battle and did not dare to advance was killed on the spot.

The soldiers rushed forward hard, and found that after the terrible chain explosion just now, the enemy on the beach shore had retreated on all fronts, and even the artillery positions on both sides had begun to retreat, and only the enemy ships blocking behind them were still in a fierce battle.

At 10:15 a.m., the first line of defense on Wake Island had been completely broken through by the Japanese army, and all the Japanese troop carriers were docked on the beach, and the soldiers flocked to this small island.

Tang Dong led the defenders into the second line of defense, and it was full of all kinds of jungle traps, including mines, poison darts, falling rocks, bamboo sticks, and everything he could think of was used anyway.

At first, the Japanese soldiers with a nameless fire in their hearts rushed into the jungle one by one, and as a result, the screams came one after another, some stepped on the traps, some were hit by falling rocks in the trees and broke their heads, and some even stepped on landmines, and the whole person was blown apart and flew into the air.

"Don't rush forward blindly! Watch out for traps and mines around! Sappers ~ Sappers are at the forefront! ”

The squad leaders roared as hard as they could, directing the soldiers to move forward in an orderly manner, and not to fill in those traps with human lives.

When the sappers carefully took out their equipment to detect mines and dismantle the traps, cold guns suddenly came at them from the depths of the jungle.

That's right, snipers, the snipers of the Longxing Chamber of Commerce are the best in the world, or the soldiers who graduated from the Longxing Military Academy, each of them has the ability to penetrate the Yang in a hundred steps.

At this moment, what Tang Dong has to do is one word, "drag".

He knew that with only the thousands of people on his small island, he would not be able to compete head-on with the large army of devils, this is not like land, you can go into the forest to fight guerrillas, the total area of this island is so large, once the enemy rushes up to hide, there is no place to hide.

As for what he was dragging, that was the order Zhou Yu gave him.

At this stage, as the commander-in-chief of the allied forces' strategy, Zhou Yu cannot focus on a war in a certain region, he must be in charge of the overall situation, strategize, and seek the greatest benefits for himself while striking at the enemy.

Obviously, Tang Dong's death on Wake Island was not what Zhou Yu wanted, what he wanted to do was just a buffer to hold a front-line springboard for the federal troops driving up in the rear, and this springboard was Wake Island.

"Bang bang bang~!"

Seeing that his sappers continued to be fired by the enemy, the Japanese squad leader scolded angrily, but there was no way, at this time, a soldier came over and shouted: "Why is it moving so slowly?" What happened? ”

"The enemy laid a lot of traps here, and mines, and we ...... Our progress has been stymied. ”

The Cao Chang was quite angry, and slapped the squad leader a few times with his bow left and right, but the latter didn't dare to say a word, and he accepted it firmly, and bowed with his head down, and kept laughing.

"Stupid! Clean up the traps like you do, and when you're done, it's dark! This is exactly what the enemy wants, bring in all the artillery for me, and blow up all those traps! ”

The squad leader's eyes lit up for a while, thinking that the chief is the chief, he was just in a hurry, why didn't he think of this way? They didn't need to be cautious at all, the enemy was far outnumbered and there were no reinforcements, so they could destroy the traps in the simplest and most brutal way.

"Yes! I'll do it! ”

The Japanese brought in mortars and some grenadiers, and they fired shells into the jungle, threw grenades, destroyed the traps with explosions, and detonated mines.

Tang Dong and the others guarded the second line of defense, monitoring the devil's every move through the telescope.

"Damn, these little devils have learned to be smart, and they have discovered the easiest way so quickly, tell the brothers, and give him a few new weapons according to the position where the devil fires the cannon."

"Okay~I've long wanted to use the new weapon that Mr. Zhou shipped~!"

The "new weapon" in the mouths of Tang Dong and Yu Guilai is a wheeled vehicle-mounted rocket launcher developed by the Soviet Army in World War II, BM-13, commonly known as "Katyusha rocket artillery".

This kind of rocket artillery adopts the structural method of installing a fire and arrow launch track on the chassis of a truck, which can increase the mobility of the rocket artillery and make the enemy unable to figure it out, and once this kind of rocket artillery is launched in a unified manner, the damage caused is considerable.

Each BM-13 rocket launcher can carry 16 shells at the same time, can fire all the shells in 10 seconds, and has a maximum range of 8.5 kilometers, which can form a dense strike in a short period of time, and is very suitable for dealing with the enemy's vital forces exposed in the field of vision.

The secret weapon that Tang Dong hid in the second line of defense was precisely the fire and bullets loaded by these trucks.

When he saw the Japanese army gathering artillery to bomb the trap, he had this idea, and immediately asked Yu Guilai to fire all the "Katyusha" rocket launchers they had hidden in the bushes, aimed at the enemy's artillery firing position, and poured out a terrible rocket rain that would wake up the Japanese army in their dreams.
