my bright sword career

Chapter 595 Drowned
The sudden sound of gunfire not only alarmed the soldiers of the dispatch corps who were already on high alert, but even the American soldiers who had withdrawn to the airport were also alarmed.

The American soldiers got out of the tent one after another, looking at the front where the gunfire filled the sky several miles away, many people exclaimed as if they were watching the excitement.

"Oh...Look, the Japanese monkeys launched a sneak attack on those Chinese people."

"Thank God we've pulled back to the airport, otherwise it would be our turn to face those Japanese monkeys."

"Hey...Harry..."

A soldier touched Harry, who was holding a Springfield rifle, and pouted forward: "Do you think those Chinese can withstand the attack of Japanese monkeys?"

"Only God knows about this issue." Harry shrugged his shoulders. "I just know that I am still safe for the time being. As long as I am not sent up to support, it will be fine."

"Oh, Harry, you are too cold-blooded, anyway, they are also our reinforcements." Several American soldiers all laughed.

For these American soldiers, who have been fighting the Japanese in the mud of Guadalcanal for more than a month, what they expect most now is to have a good rest for a few days.

As for the life and death of those Chinese people, they don't care, as long as they can survive.

Not to mention the American soldiers of the Eighth Marine Regiment, Major General Fletcher, who was sleeping soundly on the battleship, was also awakened by his deputy's knock on the door.

"Sir, according to the report from the China Dispatch Corps, they were attacked by the Japanese and are now fighting fiercely with the Japanese."

"Sneak attack?"

Most of Fletcher's drowsiness disappeared immediately, and his first reaction was: "How about the loss of those Chinese people?"

"I don't know yet." The deputy shook his head: "Now they are intercepting with machine guns and artillery."

"Artillery interception?" Fletcher was slightly taken aback, and then patted his head, "I almost forgot, they also carried an artillery battalion, so it's fine. By the way, O'Hare, you can ask those Chinese people, do you need naval gun support, if necessary, I will let the USS Louisville help them."

The USS Louisville is a member of the US "Fletcher" class destroyer, which happens to have the same name as Major General Fletcher.

Although the displacement of this destroyer is only more than 3000 tons, its firepower is not weak at all. The 5× single-tube 127mm high-level dual-purpose gun it is equipped with is good at both air and ground.

In Major General Fletcher's view, it should be enough to support those Chinese with such a destroyer.

It's just that the deputy's answer made him a little embarrassed, "Sir, we didn't send liaison officers to those Huaxia people, nor did we give them a contact code, so we couldn't provide artillery support."

"Damn it." Fletcher's old face turned red, but he didn't even send a liaison officer when the allies came. It was indeed his dereliction of duty.

He stood up, put on his coat, walked out of the room to the quarterdeck, looked towards Henderson Airport, and found that the current Henderson Airport was surrounded by flames, and tracers were flying around in mid-air, even if there were no Those who have fought in the war also know that the fighting must be fierce there.

The deputy said worriedly: "Sir, why don't we send a liaison officer there now? Looking at the battle ahead, the Japanese should be here for real."

"Okay." Fletcher hesitated for a moment, and he was also a little worried about whether those Chinese people would be able to hold on. You must know that the Japanese on Guadalcanal Island have disgusted him enough during this period.

Besides, he didn't want those Chinese people who came from afar to suffer too much loss, which would not do any good to the American army.

"You tell Thomas, let the 8th regiment be ready for reinforcements at any time, if those Chinese people can't stand it, they must go up."

"Understood sir!"

But what Fletcher didn't know was that Thomas was repeating the same words to Major Winston at this moment.

All eyes were on Henderson Airport. The Americans were worried that the Huaxia people would not be able to withstand it. Haruki Momokawa, who had just received the news, was also yelling at Kiyoshi Kazuki for his recklessness and stupidity. What is he going to do by arbitrarily calling the shots and attacking Americans without even saying hello?
But what neither Fletcher nor Momokawa Haruki expected was that the Ichiki detachment was in a hard fight at this time.

A series of pink-orange tracer bullets pierced the dark night sky, and the artillery roared instantly.

Kiyoshi Ichiki, who was commanding the troops to launch an attack, instinctively lay down, and a high-explosive shell fired from a 75mm howitzer pierced through the air with a shrill howl. The place exploded.

Accompanied by the violent explosion, a bomb crater stained red with blood was formed immediately, and several Japanese soldiers who were standing there disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of rapid machine gunfire in the distance, and Kazuki Kiyomi who was hiding in the crater seemed to feel a gust of wind blowing over his head, and the surrounding bushes were beaten by bullets, and several Japanese soldiers were killed. The bullets fell to the ground.

"When did the firepower of the light weapons of the beautiful animals become so fierce?"

Kiyoshi Ichiki can be regarded as a veteran officer. He has been fighting in China since the July [-]th Incident. He is quite familiar with the Chinese army. Within a few minutes of the start of the battle, he noticed how the enemy tonight familiar.

"That's not right, when did American soldiers equip German 98K rifles? And how can the firepower of those machine guns be so fierce, even more powerful than the Springfield rifles and M1917 heavy machine guns equipped by American animals?"

As a veteran who has fought in China for nearly five years, Kiyomi Ichiki is so familiar with the voice of 98K that he can't hear him wrong if he is killed. He quickly made the decision to replace the defender on the opposite side. judge.

Just when he was hesitating whether to continue the attack, accompanied by a burst of rapid artillery fire, flares bloomed in the sky, instantly illuminating the front of the entire position, and by the way, the figure of a Japanese soldier was also exposed. out of the light.

Immediately afterwards, a series of loud bugles sounded at the same time, and then armored vehicles suddenly drove out from the hiding place, and countless gray figures also jumped out of the position, shouting slogans and launched a countercharge towards the Japanese army .

"They're not Americans...they're Chinese...they're Chinese..."

Most of the soldiers of Yimu Qingzhi and Yimu's detachment had fought in China. When they heard the familiar sound of bugles and shouts of killing, everyone immediately understood that it is time to fight with them Where is the US military, it is clearly a group of out-and-out Chinese people.

"Not good, retreat quickly... retreat quickly!"

Ichiki Kiyoshi trembled and gave the order to retreat. At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind, that he must report the news of the Huaxia people's participation in the war to General Baichuan Haruki, but his retreat order was already too late.

In less than 10 minutes, the torrent of dozens of tanks and countless dispatched soldiers quickly submerged the Kazuki detachment...
