Chapter 584 Difficult Defense

"Japanese monkeys in the direction of the beach..."

Suddenly, as soon as an American soldier finished speaking, there was a series of dull explosions, and one after another shells continued to fall into the trenches of the US soldiers. Although the shells were not powerful, they would still kill one or two marines. .

Kiyonao Kazuki, who was lying on the junction of the beach and the bushes, made a gesture to a Japanese second lieutenant two or three meters away, and then the second lieutenant raised his waist and led a grenadier team to the flank of the US defense line.

Soon, the second lieutenant led the team to a place more than 200 meters away from the right side of the US military position.

This team consists of four grenadier teams, each grenadier team consists of a launcher and an ammunitionist, and these grenadier teams led by Ichiki Qingzhi also added an ammunitionist.

This is to prevent combat attrition and ensure sufficient ammunition.

Each ammunition hand carries 8 grenades in the ammunition pouch, and carries a rifle to protect the launcher, who also carries 8 grenades.That is to say, a standard two-person grenadier team has 16 shells, and this grenadier team carries 24 ammunition.

Soon, a sharp whistling sounded instantly, and then shells fell on the US military positions one after another.

Facing the sudden heavy artillery fire, Harry and other U.S. troops could only try their best to lower their bodies. At the same time, they were very puzzled, "What kind of weapon is the Japanese on the opposite side using? Why are they so dense and violent?"

Harry was curious about the powerful, fast-firing shells of the Japanese, which rained down like raindrops.Red flares pierced the night sky, and then more intensive artillery fire poured down.

Suddenly, Harry saw several streaks of darkness rushing up, and a 12.7mm machine gun fired wildly at the position, sweeping the shadows to the ground.

After one of the shadows fell to the ground, he struggled to throw a grenade accurately into the foxhole.

Before Harry could yell, the machine gun in the foxhole was blown into the air.More black shadows rushed forward bravely, and Harry was horrified at the fact that the Japanese were still able to charge after being shot.

Suddenly, Harry felt his shoulders being torn apart by a huge impact, and he fell hard on the edge of the foxhole. A Japanese soldier jumped into the foxhole. With the help of the moonlight, Harry saw the appearance of the Japanese soldier for the first time. Erzhi, but with bloodthirsty ferocity in his eyes.

In the command post next to the airport, Thomas was talking to his subordinates one by one, and there was a burst of yelling in the text, but these people did not speak English, obviously this was not the US Marine Corps.

"It's the Japanese, they're attacking the eastern position!"

Thomas was shocked. He immediately predicted that the position near the beach had obviously been lost.

More than ten minutes later, the gunfire on the right-wing position gradually fell silent. Through the binoculars, Thomas saw the Stars and Stripes being pushed to the ground, and a rising sun flag was rising.

"Damn it, the eastern position is actually lost!"

Colonel Thomas's heart was suspended.

Although the position near the beach was not large, and in Thomas's view, it was just an insignificant place, otherwise he wouldn't have only deployed two platoons of troops.

But the so-called insignificance here has a premise, that is, the U.S. Navy can maintain an absolute advantage in the sea, forcing the Japanese Navy not to approach.

It's just obvious that Thomas underestimated the gamble of the Japanese. They really dared to take advantage of the negligence of the US Navy and the night to send troops to attack with only a few destroyers and the Transport Department.

You must know that this place is facing the sea. Once the Japanese fleet falls here, they can park the transportation hall here swaggeringly, and then unload the infantry calmly.

He grabbed the walkie-talkie, "Major Winston, you will immediately lead a battalion to take back the eastern position, and the Japanese must not let the Japanese occupy the eastern position comfortably."

"Mr. Colonel, the Japanese destroyers are constantly bombarding the airport, and we found that the Japanese have a rapid-fire mortar with a very high rate of fire. I just asked the retreating soldiers. The reason why the eastern position was lost is Because of this damn mortar.

The most important thing is that it is too dark now. If an attack is launched in a hurry, it will not only be difficult to regain the position, but it will also easily lead to huge casualties. "

"What's your opinion?" Thomas asked coldly.

"My opinion is that the troops should be ordered to stand firm now, and our navy will naturally drive those Japanese warships out of this sea area after dawn, so that we can regain our position calmly."

Thomas was silent for a while, and told him rationally that what Winston said was correct. The most taboo thing in war is to attack blindly when the enemy's situation is unknown. the same.

After a long time, Thomas finally said: "I will implement it according to your opinion!"

Hearing the hang up sound from the microphone, Winston let out a long sigh of relief.

To be honest, what he said just now was actually a big risk.

You must know that any army in any country requires subordinates to unconditionally implement the commander's orders, and questioning the commander's order in person will be considered as a challenge to the commander's majesty.

The reason why Winston mustered up the courage to persuade Thomas just now was actually because he was taking a gamble, because he knew very well how risky it would be to regain the lost position when the enemy's situation was unknown and the night was dark. The whole battalion had to be folded there, but fortunately Colonel Thomas followed his advice.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese did not continue to attack, but stayed in place, which made Thomas, Winston and others very puzzled.

But this situation waited until dawn when they finally understood.

The dawn sun shone on the island, and the American soldiers who had waited nervously all night discovered that the beaches on the east had been completely occupied by the Japanese. Not only that, the Japanese also occupied the passage leading to the inland of Guadalcanal in the south.

"Damn it, how many soldiers did those Japanese monkeys unload last night?"

Thomas peeked secretly through the binoculars from the bunker, looking at the rising sun flag rising in the east, with a particularly ugly expression on his face.

"Sir, it's all my fault. If I followed your order to take back the eastern position last night, the Japanese trick would not have succeeded." Winston said guiltily from the side.

Thomas shook his head: "It's none of your business. If we took the risk to attack last night, your first battalion might be blown to pieces by the Japanese naval guns."

"Sir, we need to send troops to recapture the eastern position. What happened last night can never be repeated." Perhaps out of guilt, Winston volunteered.

"Okay, after an hour, you lead a battalion to attack and clear all the Japanese monkeys there, and I will contact the fleet to give you artillery support." Thomas agreed to Winston's request.
