Emergency Doctor Mercenary Road

   Chapter 60 The blood of the Blood Ridge becomes a river

   September 9, 1942, 1 p.m. Guadalcanal in the Pacific Ocean.

   In the open space to the left of the northern runway at Henderson Airport. Under the leadership of the company commander, a series of rough men lay naked on the ground and basked in the sun, with a large piece of white eyes. After half an hour in the sun, everyone happily put on their clothes and trousers, and discussed with each other a series of serious physiological issues such as size, thickness, and blood color.

  Lu Fei was also on the list, and there was nothing he could do about it. Although he changed his underwear and socks every day, this ghost place was extremely humid, and it was impossible to take a shower several times a day. So I have to use it often to bask in the sun, anyway, they are all rough men, no one should laugh at anyone. It's been more than half a month since he came to Guadalcan Island. Lu Fei's enthusiasm from the beginning to the iron-blooded war, and now he just wants to go home quickly. This broken island is so torturous. Damn sultry weather, **** mosquitoes everywhere, **** long grass and vines, no brocade clothes and jade, no warm fragrant nephrite, and no air conditioning.

   The evil fire in his stomach can only be directed at the Japanese devils.

  Lu Fei counted the days and knew that the time for the Battle of Blood Ridge was coming.

   Yesterday near Taiwu Point, the marines captured Tasimpoko while the Japanese defenders retreated into the jungle. The main supply depot for the Japanese Kawaguchi unit was discovered by troops at Tahim Poko Edson, including large stores of food, ammunition, medical supplies, and a powerful short-wave radio. After destroying everything in sight, except for some documents and equipment, the Marines returned to the Lunga defense circle. The mountains of Japanese supplies, combined with the captured intelligence documents, allowed the Marines to calculate that there were at least 3,000 Japanese troops on the island, and it was clear that the Japanese planned to attack the U.S. military.

   One division, one regiment and one battalion of the Marine Warfare were sent to the most dangerous location again. South of Henderson Airport, the Coral Ridge, known as the Lunga Ridge, had a natural road through the airport, controlling the surrounding area, and was almost undefended at the time.

   On 11 September, a battalion was deployed to the area around the ridge, the heights marked 123.

   Battalion Commander Anderson had formed a habit of summoning Lu Fei to inquire whenever there was a major event. The battalion commander and several company commanders held a short meeting on the top of the hill. After everyone observed the terrain, they expressed their opinions to see if they could form a complete defense plan.

   Captain Douglas spoke first. After thinking for a long time, he said:

   "I can't say for sure, but after the experience gained in the last battle on the Tenaru River, our machine guns can play a big role, and the firepower should be strengthened, and more ammunition should be prepared."

   "I guess this is a tough battle. Our soldiers are heroic, but the Japanese army is not afraid of death. They are afraid that the sight at night will be affected, and the Japanese devils will finally break through with numbers and lives." The second company commander said worriedly.

Each company commander explained their strategies and concerns one by one. Some mentioned whether to lay mines in front of the battle, and some suggested whether to set up barbed wire. There are always suggestions, and so on. practical approach.

   Battalion Commander Anderson looked at Lu Fei and said, "Dr. Jack, you have amazing words every time you fight, and you will talk about it this time."

Lu Fei smiled slightly: "My suggestion is: we delay early warning in the distance, block and kill in the middle, and finally eliminate it in the near distance. Forming devastating firepower and visual contrast, the main purpose is to destroy a large number of Japanese troops, and at the same time, we dispatch aircraft for bombing and prepare for A mobile armored force to carry out the pursuit and killing mission. It has to be done in this way..."

Lu Fei explained all the details one by one. The company commanders who listened to him nodded frequently, gasping for breath from time to time. He was glad that he was not Jack's opponent. This doctor brother is really vicious to the Japanese devils, but everyone like very much.

   For a whole day, the marines were deployed in accordance with the requirements of the battalion headquarters on and before the battle. Lu Fei also contributed most of his nails, and the veterinary anesthetic was almost exhausted.

   On the night of September 12, the 1st Battalion of the Japanese Kawaguchi attacked the commandos between the Lunga River and the ridge, forcing a marine company to retreat to the ridge before the Japanese attack ceased that night. The next night, Kawaguchi's brigade of 3,000 soldiers, coupled with various light artillery pieces, faced the first battalion's position. The Japanese attacked just after nightfall.

  The Japanese army attacked the large army, prepared to attack in waves, implemented the famous "pig burst" tactics, and arrogantly wanted to take the 123 heights in one fell swoop. At the beginning of the attack, the Japanese army made preparations for artillery fire, but the Japanese army itself had very few artillery shells. The artillery shells were transported by manpower in the tropical jungle, and the number was extremely limited. The Japanese also carried light artillery, most of which were mortars, and the firepower was not ferocious.

The U.S. artillery fire was much more fierce. The 155mm heavy artillery, the 120mm heavy mortar, and even the mortars of the artillery platoon gave generous and selfless feedback, not only interrupted the Japanese artillery fire, but also The Japanese troops assembled at the starting point were scattered. The Japanese troops were basically veterans, and the evacuation was well-trained, and the shelling did not cause much damage.

After a delay of 5 minutes, the Japanese army began to attack from the foot of the 123 highland. At this time, the Japanese army was about 300 meters away from the top position in a straight line. The Japanese army did not shout when they attacked, and even did not fire a single shot, quietly groping forward. .

But after walking a few steps, many Japanese soldiers stepped on the iron nails in the small pit. The devils hummed and chirped continuously. In addition, a lot of iron cans were thrown densely on the ground. At this time, there was a ping ping pong sound .

   Before many Japanese soldiers could react, "Whoosh, whoosh", 2 flares went up into the sky.

   The front of the position was illuminated as if it were daylight, "chuchu", and machine guns and other types of automatic fire began to fire. Seeing that the Japanese had been discovered, they simply put on their bayonets and started a collective charge.

   The machine guns of the first battalion were only half fired, and only two Mark Qins were shouting in front of the battle. The Japanese soldiers kept being knocked to the ground, but the other Japanese soldiers rushed up with red eyes. In a blink of an eye, hundreds of Japanese soldiers rushed to the front of the formation 150 meters.

   "Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom", the anti-infantry mines that were laid in advance were stepped on one after another. These anti-infantry mines are very vicious and often do not kill people all at once, but only break the legs and feet.

  The first row of the Japanese attacking team collapsed instantly, and the rest of the Japanese army ignored it and continued to advance. A minute later, the Japanese army was almost 80 meters away from the front of the position. Kawaguchi at the foot of the mountain was very excited, and with a move, the second wave of Japanese troops rushed up again.

The first wave of Japanese attacking troops was about to rush through a distance of 80 meters. With the help of faint flares, the Japanese soldiers saw a long circle of barbed wire on the ground. Neither tall nor wide. It is only 1 meter high and 50 cm wide, and it seems that it can pass in a single jump. A lot of nimble Japanese soldiers jumped up with momentum, ready to jump over.

   At this moment, the front of the battle suddenly lit up, and the four large searchlights lit up, revealing all the details in front of the battle. The sound of machine guns suddenly became denser, and there were three more machine guns in front of the U.S. military. The flames began to shoot, and the output of firepower was doubled. Many of the Japanese soldiers who wanted to cross the wire ring were shot back by machine gun bullets when they jumped in the air. The other Japanese soldiers quickly lay down at the bottom of the wire ring.

  Lu Fei was instructing the machine gunner to shoot, patted him, and said loudly: "Firing as planned!"

  The machine gunner fired 3 tracer rounds into the air according to Lu Fei's instructions. All the machine guns received the signal and jointly lowered their muzzles and fired at the bottom of the wire ring.

  Some Japanese soldiers were hit and screamed, but most of them were the sound of broken bottles. The Japanese army was feeling strange, but many people smelled the pungent smell of gasoline, and some liquid began to flow down the ramp.

   It turned out that Lu Fei asked the company to collect a large number of beer bottles, most of which were from the original Japanese brewery. Naturally, these beer bottles are filled with gasoline. These beer and gasoline bottles were placed at the bottom of the wire circle in the direction of their own position. Once the Japanese army was stopped by machine guns and fell down, the US military smashed the beer bottles and continued Lu Fei's arson hobby.

   Lu Fei patted the machine gunner in front of him again and made a change gesture. The machine gunner stopped shooting, replaced with 10 tracer rounds, and fired at the bottom of the wire ring. A shuttle passed, igniting the leaked gasoline. A flame instantly turned into a big fireball, continued to spread, and turned into a fire belt!

   The vast majority of the Japanese soldiers were lying on the ground just now, screaming and screaming. Burns are on the face or hands. Almost all of the Japanese troops under the wire ring jumped up, preparing to flee back.

   At this time, the American machine guns and all the firepower began to focus fire, and rows of Japanese troops were knocked down. The Japanese troops who fled in a hurry fled to the second group of Japanese troops who came up, and disrupted the formation of the new Japanese troops. In the chaos, the Japanese troops were killed and wounded in large numbers. After the officers and sergeants commanding the front line of the Japanese army loudly ordered the soldiers to lie down or hide to the big rocks, the situation slowly calmed down.

  The Japanese army was hit hard by this, but they still did not give up. The soldiers who retreated lay down on the ground and waited for the fire at the wire ring to burn out, preparing for a second attack. The Japanese sharpshooters also began to shoot at the searchlights, and after a while, the American searchlights were all extinguished.

   Battalion Commander Anderson and Lu Fei both watched the movement of the Japanese army through the binoculars. When the fire was almost extinguished, two flares rushed into the sky again, and the Japanese army still had nowhere to hide in front of the position.

  The Japanese army was still being killed and wounded by the machine guns of the first battalion. Although the Japanese army had soldiers with good marksmanship that caused individual casualties to the US military, the machine guns were too powerful. The Japanese army as a whole was suppressed to the death.

   Suddenly, a Japanese officer stood up and shouted hoarsely. The entire Japanese army became restless, and began to charge without fear of death. Even Kawaguchi sent a third wave of soldiers to prepare for a decisive charge.

   A large number of devil soldiers screamed and rushed forward. Hundreds of pairs of blood-red eyes did not look like humans, but rather like mad dogs!

  The road of the Japanese army's charge is a **** road of death. Soldiers are constantly being knocked down, and others are taking over to charge up. Soon the Japanese soldiers who suffered heavy casualties jumped over the wire loop. Some soldiers even lay on the wire loop and let their companions step over it. The Japanese army got closer and closer to the position, but there was still a long wire loop 50 meters away from the position.

  The pace of the Japanese army's charge did not stop at all, and it was about to rush to the second wire circle. Battalion Commander Anderson shouted from the trenches: "Bomb!" In less than 3 seconds, hundreds of grenades were thrown behind the wire ring. Throwing the grenade from top to bottom is cool. The Japanese army was limited to the terrain at this time, and the throwing of the grenade during the upward attack could not throw the effective killing range at all.

   "Boom, Boom, Boom", countless grenades were thrown at the exact position and exploded one after another, forming a blasting belt. Countless Japanese soldiers were blown away, their hands and feet were blown off, and they were bombed beyond recognition. The trump card of the Japanese army was indeed extremely fierce. Even if the casualties were heavy, the next wave of Japanese soldiers rushed through the smoke of the explosion, jumped over the wire ring, and continued to charge forward.

   But Dr. Jack's poison was too cruel. He had already instructed the marines to dig a trench one meter wide and half a meter deep 50 centimeters behind the wire ring. The Japanese soldiers who jumped over the wire loop fell into the trenches one after another.

   Naturally, there will be no good things in these trenches. After many Japanese soldiers fell in, they found that there was a shallow layer of liquid in the trenches, which did not cover the insteps. The Japanese soldiers were all thrown into a mess. When they were still stunned, Lu Fei picked up a Molotov cocktail in the trench and lit the cloth strip on it. Then Yoyo threw the bottle out. Just kidding, the strength and accuracy of throwing the knife, from top to bottom, throwing a bottle into a one-meter-wide trench 50 meters away is too easy.

  "呯", of course, gasoline was poured into the trenches. The sky-high flames ignited again. Just before the battle, countless firemen were twisting, roaring, rushing forward and running backward, and the situation was chaotic.

   These human-shaped torches are so bright that it’s hard for a machine gun to hit them. The U.S. machine guns increased their firepower again, and the last hidden 3 Maxim machine guns also began to shoot.

   "chu chu chu, puff puff", the sound of bullets hitting the body can be heard incessantly. The scene was simply horrific. Many of the remaining Japanese soldiers who were still on the way were ignited by the escaped firemen, and even the lucky devils who were not burned were illuminated.

   "Tug Chu Chu Chu", the Mi Army's machine guns have at least 10 minutes of maximum firepower output. No one was standing before the battle, and a dozen or so devils who were on fire and rushed up were also knocked down one by one. Lu Fei also used a shotgun to kill several Japanese troops who were within 20 meters.

   Only a small number of Japanese troops escaped, and on the whole there is not one out of ten.

  Kawaguchi watched the entire battle with a telescope from behind. Cold sweat broke out all over his body. This was no longer a battle, but a massacre of Chi Guoguo. His soldiers did not even cause any casualties to the US military, and they were already close to the annihilation of the entire army.

  At this time, Battalion Commander Anderson observed the movements of the Japanese army and asked Lu Fei, "Do you think the time has come?"

"I took a preliminary look. Basically, 90% of the Japanese army's three waves of impact personnel were in front of the formation. At present, the number of troops in front of our formation will not exceed 400. Of course, there must be a support force in the jungle. I suggest that bombers bomb the jungle first. Then heavy artillery bombarded the foot of the mountain. Our light tanks and armored vehicles took this opportunity to go out to the front of the position. Once the bombardment and artillery bombardment stopped, we let the first company of the first battalion rush down behind the tanks and armored vehicles. The second company stayed behind, and the other companies As the left and right wings, follow them in a row. Kill him, the Japanese devil, by surprise."
