Infinite space for American dramas
Chapter 44 - The Beachhead Fiasco - God's Light
"Hey! Look, I must get a Quality Service Medal this time!"
"Don't think about it. Maybe the flyboys in our Air Force and those sons of bitches in the Navy have already used 60 kilograms of explosives and 180 mm naval guns to blow up all the Japanese troops on the island."
"For three days in a row, I heard that the Navy fired 170,000 sexy large-caliber artillery shells!"
"Don't think about it, we will remove these rats from their holes just like we did in the previous island cleanup operations!"
Kirk searched carefully among the thousands of landing soldiers of the First Division. These optimistic American soldiers never expected that the American artillery bombardment had no effect.
The Japanese army on Perio Island dug more than 500 holes and built a large number of bunkers that were difficult to find and connected by trenches or tunnels. The landing site of the 1st Marine Division was the key defense area of the Japanese army. Therefore, when they landed, they suffered
The casualties were also the largest and most severe.
Among the groups of optimistic soldiers, a slightly nervous and shy older boy caught Kirk's attention.
It is the person we want to protect this time, Eugene Sledge.
With chestnut curly hair, melancholy eyes, handsome face, and straight nose, he is full of well-educated temperament and upbringing. He is a big boy from a doctor's family.
Wang Han's eyes immediately lit up.
"So handsome! He looks like Keanu Reeves." Wang Han was excited.
Xiaopang was stunned: "Brother, you have to be careful about my sister-in-law. I have never seen her look like a nymphomaniac."
"Ahem" Wang Han coughed twice: "How do we protect him?"
Kirk smiled: "You go and protect him. Anyway, as long as you don't let him log in stupidly."
In the first wave of landings, the 1st Division of the U.S. Army suffered one of the heaviest casualties. In the plot, Sledge's survival was entirely due to the halo of the protagonist.
But in this plot, Sledge lost his aura as the protagonist, and an ordinary cannonball could kill him.
Wang Han agreed.
At this time, on the sea level, the U.S. Navy has heavily surrounded Peleliu Island. Countless battleships, cruisers, and escorts aimed their guns at Peleliu Island, accompanied by deafening gunfire and huge reaction force. One
A heavy shell was hit on Peleliu Island. The entire island was filled with fire and explosions.
"Okay! Let's go!" a lieutenant started shouting: "Let's kick the Japanese's ass!"
The battleship Kirk and the others are currently on is a large amphibious tank landing ship with a displacement of 4,000 tons. When it is still several thousand meters away from the beach, the landing ship lowers the front door, and five "Sinkins boats" are used for beach landing.
(LCVP for short) amphibious warfare vessel slowly sailed out and entered the sea.
This Simkins boat has a total length of 10.9 meters, a width of 3.2 meters, a draft of 1 meter under full load, a displacement of 12 tons, and a maximum speed of 9 knots. When using maximum horsepower for propulsion under full load, the range can reach 110 nautical miles. It can travel from transport ships to
It transports 36 fully armed soldiers. It can quickly drop, evacuate or repeatedly transport troops, equipment and supplies to the enemy beachhead.
The landing ladder at the bow of the boat is retracted and retracted by the slings on both sides. There are armored steel plates on both sides to protect the people and vehicles on the boat. The landing ladder itself also has certain protective functions. There is also a small window on it for the boat to
Personnel on board look out. The landing ladder is 2.1 meters long after it is lowered. It is designed with anti-slip strips to facilitate the entry and exit of people and vehicles.
Unfortunately, Kirk's team was not assigned to the same landing craft as Sledge. But fortunately, the distance was not too far.
They soon began their landing journey.
Xiaopang was very nervous: "Will there be Japanese bombers, artillery and machine guns to shoot at us later?"
Wang Han burst into laughter: "That was the Normandy landing! We on Peleliu Island will not encounter such a blow from a beach landing battle. The Japanese army is eager to lure the US military to go deep and attack us with strong mountain artillery fire and tunnels."
At this time, fierce gunfire was heard in the east, and the 1st Navy Division was already engaging in fierce exchanges of fire with the Japanese army.
"Accelerate! Accelerate!" the frontline commander yelled, ordering the mechanics and sailors on the LCVP to simultaneously control the 7.62mm M1919 machine gun and continuously fire into the dense beach jungle.
Hundreds of landing craft cut through the waves on the blue beach and rushed towards Peleliu Island.
The strange thing is that Peleliu Island is completely silent, like a dead ghost house. No matter how the U.S. military planes bomb, the warships bombard, or the landing ships strafe, it remains indifferent.
But with Kirk's advantage of familiarity with the plot and keen eyesight, he could clearly see that when the US artillery fire extended deep into the island, the soldiers of the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the 14th Japanese Division immediately entered through the trenches and tunnels.
The beachhead and the bunker were ready to welcome the American landing troops. These well-trained Japanese soldiers were very calm and no one shot without permission without receiving an order to fire.
The first wave of US landing troops had arrived at the beach. When the landing craft and amphibious armored vehicles drove in a dense formation less than 300 meters away from the beach, several landing craft and amphibious armored vehicles triggered the floating mines deployed by the Japanese army in the shallow water.
The human craft shattered and the armor flew away. The US landing craft immediately dispersed and stopped. They fired machine guns at suspicious floating objects on the sea and successfully exploded several mines. Then the US landing craft and amphibious armored vehicles continued to move forward. This kind of bridge section has been used in various situations in the past.
This kind of landing battle is a common occurrence, and the US military itself does not take it seriously.
The Japanese army still refused to fire a single shot, which made the US military even more convinced that all the Japanese troops had been killed long ago.
After the First Division landed on the beach, under the roar of the commanding officer, they began to jump into the beach from the opened front door of the landing craft, and advanced 20 meters on the beach until they were 30 meters away from the Japanese breakwater.
"Now! Protect Sledge!" Kirk shouted.
Wang Han used teleportation and appeared next to Sledge.
She used the [Ring of Mind Control]!
Natasha's intelligence was increased to 125 points by her attributes and equipment, but as a professional magician, Wang Han's intelligence attribute reached 150 points under the [Immortal King] suit!
She can control Sledge for 30 seconds!
Sledge's eyes suddenly lost their luster and became dull.
"Sledge! Let's go!" Other American soldiers on the same ship shouted, pulling the stunned Sledge to rush to the beach.
Wang Han immediately waved the Red Cross armband in his hand: "Don't touch him! It looks like he has battlefield stress syndrome! I'm a medic. I'm here to help him!"
A soldier with chestnut curly hair who looked a little nervous looked at Sledge and muttered: "Why haven't I heard that you can get medical treatment if you are nervous on the battlefield?"
At this moment, Wang Han suddenly heard a sharp whistling sound!
It's Japanese artillery fire!
"Get down!" the landing craft captain yelled.
When they were only 30 meters away from the coast, the hidden fire points of the Japanese army on the breakwater suddenly opened fire at the same time! The American soldiers who were trudging in the shallow water, carrying equipment weighing up to 30 kilograms, were unprepared and were immediately knocked down in a large area. The sea water suddenly
Dyeed red by blood, many people fell directly on the beach and drifted with the tide, never raising their heads again.
Then, something even more terrifying happened. The Japanese grenade launchers, direct-aimed guns, mortars, and grenades were overwhelming, hitting them all over the place. The U.S. First Division was suddenly shot at such a close distance. There was chaos.
, completely became a living target!
At such a close distance, they were suddenly attacked. Any dodge was ineffective. The hundreds of American troops walking in front were all killed and wounded by the Japanese on the beach!
The U.S. troops who subsequently landed on the beach were unprepared. Dozens of them were killed by the Japanese army on the beach. The amphibious armored vehicles that landed on the beach were also destroyed one by one by the Japanese direct-aimed artillery on the shore!
The Japanese firepower hidden on the shore was only 50 meters away from the coast. The Japanese troops fired every shot at such a close distance. Soon the entire beach was filled with the corpses and destroyed equipment of the American troops. The 14th Marines who had passed the test of China's war
The elite Japanese troops of the division, armed with Meiji rifles, fully took advantage of their accurate shooting. With one shot, the sea water near the beach turned red, and the sea surface was covered with floating corpses!
The U.S. troops on the beach were quickly shot and killed by the Japanese. The follow-up troops on the landing craft were unable to reach the beach because the front was covered with the wreckage of landing craft and amphibious armored vehicles. They had to circle around on the sea to find another landing site. Because they were too close to the Japanese troops.
, the U.S. soldiers on the landing craft were accurately shot by the Japanese and suffered serious casualties.
Fortunately, Kirk and Sledge's troops, as the second wave of landing troops, had not yet landed despite being subjected to heavy shelling and machine gun fire from the Japanese army. Wang Han knocked down Sledge and, under the mortar fire,
Amidst the soaring water and the ping-ping-ping-ping-ping of machine gun bullets hitting the bulletproof steel plate, he fell down in the cabin.
"Quickly, change direction! Don't go up and die!" the captain roared at the mechanic. Having learned the lessons of the first wave of landing troops, Kirk and Sledge's group of US landing craft docked 300 meters west of the original landing site, but all
Before the Marines ashore, most of them were killed and wounded.
The large ships responsible for the landing cover of the US military were helpless and could not fire to suppress the Japanese firepower points because the distance between the Japanese army and the US military was too close, so the landing turned into a complete massacre.
The Japanese army, in a very concealed firepower point, calmly targeted and fired bursts at every American soldier who could still move, while the American soldiers did not even know where to shoot back.
"What should we do?" Wang Han asked Kirk: "If we charge with the US military, there is still a glimmer of hope that we can rush to the beach defense line tightly guarded by the Japanese army. After all, our trump cards are still relatively complete. There are three giant dragons that can be used.
(Nighold, Xiaolu and Wang Han), there are Sheva and Lynn, you, Xiaopang and Sulexi, three good chargers. Do you want to lead the US military to charge?"
Kirk shook his head: "The loss is too great. According to the way we discussed before the war, we should stay put and just protect Sledge. Let the US side see that their estimate of the strength of the Japanese army is completely wrong.
, I will be more prepared next time.”
After hearing this, Wang Han gave up his plan to take action.
At this moment, the landing craft Kirk's team was riding on was hit by a mortar and flew into the sky. Kirk's team was safe, but the American soldiers with them flew up to an altitude of dozens of meters, wailing.
, and then fell into the sea in pieces.
Kirk's team climbed onto the beach, found a reef, and hid. Sheva stretched out a sniper rifle from the reef and quietly took out a bunker 40 meters away on the left. He shot four times in a row, killing all the people inside.
One heavy machine gun and two light machine guns misfired, and I was satisfied with the 100 contribution points.
"What should we do now?" Suresi asked Kirk: "Are we just going to watch American soldiers being shot as live targets by the Japanese army?"
Kirk nodded: "If you have any means of counterattack, you can use them. We need to increase our contribution points! But we must ensure safety. Under the dense Japanese machine guns, bunkers and artillery fire, don't try to be cool!"
Sulexi nodded.
Kirk condensed a lightning spear in his hand and threw it with all his strength.
Thirty meters away, three Japanese soldiers in a foxhole were shooting with heavy machine guns behind sandbags. They were hit by flying lightning spears and were all destroyed.
Wang Han was not idle either. On the one hand, he dragged Sledge and hid behind the rocks, and on the other hand, he summoned [Meteor Rain] to violently bombard the Japanese positions!
So, the Japanese troops of the 14th Division, who were easily shooting American soldiers crawling and wailing on the beach, were stunned to find that dozens of fireballs suddenly appeared in the sky!
"Bomb?" Captain Suzuki, the Japanese commander, yelled: "Emergency escape!"
But it's no use.
This magic with an extremely wide attack range is the nemesis of the Japanese army, which is a mortal army that attacks the strong and defends the weak!
The fireball meteorite hit hard. Many Japanese shooting pits that were shooting were hit by the meteorite. They either fell silent quickly or turned into burning people. They screamed and fled in all directions. Those bunkers were also smashed and collapsed under the bombardment of the meteorite.
The Japanese soldiers inside were buried alive.
However, as the U.S. troops landed in large numbers and died in battle, the eye-catching performance of the area where Kirk's team was located became a beacon for the embattled U.S. soldiers, who moved closer here one after another. At the same time, it also became a thorn in the side of the Japanese army, a thorn in the flesh, and a target of artillery fire.
Visit the most heavily patronized areas.
Kirk's team immediately learned the lesson.
Countless mountain artillery, mortars, direct-fire artillery, and blasting cannons came at us like raindrops.
Even with the cover of the reef, Kirk's team was quickly submerged in a hail of artillery fire.
Their health points began to plummet.
The Japanese artillery fire was so fierce that there were no blind spots. There were exploding shells everywhere.
Fortunately, as the U.S. military lost all casualties, dozens of U.S. battleships, cruisers, and frigates performing blockade escort missions gradually found a gap and began to violently bombard the Japanese. At the same time, the U.S. command knew that it had underestimated the enemy and caused a catastrophe, causing thousands of casualties.
The American soldiers died in vain on the beach of the Palau Islands. In desperation, they mobilized a large number of carrier-based aircraft to continue bombing and strafing the beaches where the Japanese ambush was set up. Finally, the urgent need of Kirk's team and the surviving US troops was relieved.
Nearly half of the soldiers from the first two battalions of the U.S. Army who landed on the beach failed to land on the beach. Most of the soldiers who landed on the beach were killed or injured by the Japanese army, and they had to order a retreat in the end.
Therefore, Kirk's team dragged the unconscious Sledge, covered other US soldiers, and began to look for usable landing ships everywhere to use as escape and retreat tools.
But it is said that it is easy to get on the pirate ship, but it is difficult to get off the pirate ship. Although the Japanese troops on the beach were bombarded by naval guns and aircraft and could not hold their heads up, the Japanese artillerymen hiding in the solid mountains and cliffs were not afraid of the American bombings at all and remained the same.
Aiming at the beach and shallow sea, they fired violently.
Do you still remember the "point" that needs to be removed in the second main mission? It is a 9.1-meter-high cliff standing on the seaside, connected to the island mountain. The Japanese army has hollowed out the mountain, leaving only a few meters long.
A very narrow shooting port, and a 150mm mountain cannon and 6 heavy machine guns were sent to the cave. From there, you can overlook the entire beach and landing point. Now, in this 9-meter-high cliff, only the heavy machine gun fire is
They formed one piece, with flames of artillery fire flashing from time to time. For the American soldiers trapped on the beach and shallow sea, the shooting port in the "point" was simply the mouth of the devil that destroyed souls and killed people!
"Damn it!" Lynn was furious when she was hit by a bullet in the "point" on the side. The red lightning in her hand flashed and shot towards the "point".
But when the distance was too far, the lightning flew to the edge of the cliff, lost its effectiveness, turned into a ball of sparks, and disappeared.
Kirk risked being hit by the Japanese machine gun and threw the lightning spear with all his strength!
As soon as he showed his head, sure enough, dozens of bullets hit his body!
The health value dropped suddenly. Half of it was lost immediately!
Fortunately, the spear of lightning lived up to expectations and shot into the "point"!
Suddenly, there was a scream in "Point". The elite Japanese soldiers could not withstand Kirk's lightning attack, and the shooting temporarily stopped.
Kirk took the opportunity to lead the American soldiers, climbed onto the landing craft that had not been destroyed, and braved the fierce Japanese shelling to escape to the open sea.
Countless machine gun bullets kept splashing water next to the landing craft, and mortars endlessly blasted out water columns up to several meters high. Kirk and others were covered in see-through and fled in panic.
"This can't go on like this!" Kirk shouted: "Wang Han, illusion!"
Wang Han began to cast spells.
A large column of fog quietly appeared within an area of one square kilometer. From the perspective of Japanese gunners and shooters, the remaining US military landing ships were already far away from the coast. They continued to pour firepower into many deserted areas. Shooting
Accuracy drops significantly.
With the help of Wang Han's magic, many American soldiers who were unable to lift their heads under the pressure of Japanese firepower and could only grit their teeth and wait for death, seized the opportunity, climbed onto the landing craft provided by Kirk's team, and fled in panic.
Sulexi opened his dark gold shield and kept blocking bullets for the ordinary American soldiers who were escaping.
Kirk, Sheva, and Lynn seized the last opportunity to fire vengeful bullets and magic at the Japanese troops who were shooting wildly on the island. They killed some Japanese troops who jumped out of bunkers and pursued them on the beaches and rocks. Their contribution value
It is also rising crazily.
"It seems like the forester team didn't take action?" The landing craft gradually left the coastline. Kirk breathed a sigh of relief and contacted Chekov: "How is the situation there in the 1st Marine Division?" (To be continued...)
