Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
Everyone thinks that Americans are a group of playboys, a group of rich children who can't fight. But in fact, no one understands the American nation. When the crisis came, there was absolutely no shortage of heroes in this nation. At least throughout the history of World War II, the Americans ’fighting will was absolutely tough.
If Americans are afraid of casualties, then he must have never seen the dead bodies of American soldiers on the beaches of Normandy. When the German machine gun bullets swept over like raindrops, the American soldiers were still desperately advancing. When they finally captured the beach, the sea water was stained red.
In another time and space, Bastogne, the 101st Airborne Division of the United States was surrounded by the superior German troops. The German commander sent a letter of persuasion, which used persuasive to persuade the Americans to surrender. The brigadier replied only one word: "silly x!"
Therefore, Americans do not lack patriotism, and never lack courage and sacrifice spirit. What they lack is a reason to fight for their country, and what they lack is a belief to persuade themselves to die generously. When everything is available, the fighting power of the Americans is completely burst out, turning into a terrible war behemoth, shattering opponents with a strong industrial heritage and patriotic spirit.
Of course, if the industrial heritage has not yet been brought into play, the American patriotic spirit is as fragile in front of steel as Japanese Bushido. The Japanese shelling on Kauai made everyone feel desperate. The shells hit the US team's position like raindrops, destroying the solid fortifications that took one month to build.
Compared with the nearly 100 warships of the Japanese Joint Fleet, the American artillery deployed on Kauai had no capital to fight back at all. They were crushed by the Japanese army in various ways as soon as they opened fire: bombing from the sky and The repressive shooting from the sea directly turned these cannons into scrap iron.
"We are reorganizing the line of defense. Although several major positions were severely damaged, they can still be used to resist the landing of the Japanese." The commander who requested support looked at the field hospital not far away and looked at more than thirty The wounded soldier who kept crying, frowned, assured his superior: "Yes! We will hold our ground until the retreat order arrives."
About a hundred meters behind him, a cannonball lifted up the dust and mud from the sky, causing everyone to shrink their necks involuntarily. The noise came and the voice could no longer be heard clearly. The head of the United States had to confirm the command aloud again: "Sing out loud! I can't hear what you are talking about! Yes! We will hold our ground and have been Hold on until the order to retreat arrives! "
Before he had time to put down the phone in his hand, he saw the Japanese ship in the small space of the observation gate, and began to unload crowds of Japanese soldiers on the ship, these Japanese soldiers issued a terrifying Howling, climbing down the warship from the rope nets laid down from the high side of the ship, jumping on the sampan for landing and the boat, launched an attack on the beach defended by the US military.
"Headquarters? Hello? Headquarters? The Japanese soldiers are starting to land!" He took the microphone and reported it to the inside, then put down the phone and looked back, looking at several communications soldiers: "Go to each Position! Order the troops to start the counterattack according to the original counterattack plan! Go! "
"Yes! Sir!" Several signal soldiers stood up and saluted, and quickly ran out of the command room with their helmets. At this time, the regimental commander picked up the phone again and contacted the battalion combat units under his command one by one. The main reason why he sent a signal soldier was that he was afraid that the phone would be destroyed or cut off, but because of his luck, he contacted all the troops he controlled.
American machine guns have always used backward and traditional Browning machine guns, but when this weapon is deployed on a fixed position, there are no various disadvantages: the bulky body provides continuous and stable fire output, and the chain The ammunition supply is hundreds of times better than the weird ammunition supply modes used by Japanese machine guns.
So when the Japanese soldiers staggered to the beach, the killing caused by the sudden firing of the American machine gun caused the Japanese soldiers to pay a heavy price. The bullets swept toward the Japanese soldiers like raindrops, and the metal torrent passed through , bringing a faint blood mist.
"Attack!" A Japanese second lieutenant brandished his command knife, inspiring the soldiers to brave the bullets, but soon he paid a heavy price for his recklessness. A stray bullet that didn't know where to fly flew his long sword's hand, and a second bullet flew his arm away.
The nightmare is not over. When he turned his head to look at his right hand with only one bone left, a bullet that flew again penetrated his helmet from the back of the head, and the powerful penetration took his eyes away. The nose also has most of the facial bones. In the hysterical screams of the soldiers, the second lieutenant fell to the beach like mud in the same beach.
The blood flows down the beach to the sea, which is absolutely cruel for Japanese soldiers. They have never seen such a fierce suppression of firepower anywhere in China and Southeast Asia, even the density of their own elite divisions to put ammunition , Ca n’t compare with the American soldiers on the opposite side.
In order to catch up with the huge gap between German soldiers' weapons, Americans repurchased their first-line troops weapons, and the M1 Garland automatic rifle began to be installed in large numbers. This kind of weapon is simply like the Japanese bolt rifle. A terrible existence comparable to a submachine gun. What ’s more, the US forces also equipped a carbine to reduce the gap in firepower density with the German mp-44 assault rifle. After some effort, the US army ’s infantry ammunition dumping ability has become comparable to the elite German grenadiers, dealing with a large number of relying on bolts Japanese troops with a rifle seem to be overkill.
In the trenches, American soldiers carried their weapons and began to frantically sweep their ammunition to the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side. The densely packed shell attacks just made these American soldiers suffer. Now that the feng shui is taking turns, they naturally have to use their own methods to vent their anger to the enemy on the opposite side.
"Open fire! Open fire! Try to aim at each other and shoot! You have suppressed them! Aimed at me!" An American sergeant squinted and ordered his soldiers in the trenches. But the American soldiers beside him ignored him. These soldiers madly pulled their triggers and hit rounds after rounds of the bullets until they heard their rifle popping out of the magazine and made a crunching noise before they crouched down. Take the magazine full of bullets from your pocket, tap the helmet twice, and press it back into the magazine.
A Japanese soldier aimed at the opposite American position with a long rifle, slammed his trigger, and the bullet hit an American soldier with precision. However, the Japanese soldier was quickly knocked down to the ground by a machine gun, and even without a cry, he spit blood and died. More Japanese soldiers shouted, shouting the slogan of blessing of the gods, carrying the 38-type rifle with the bayonet, and furiously rushed to the defensive position of the United States.
Over time, the sea was gradually dyed red, and the Japanese were still madly charging. This time they had various shelters, which were layered by the Japanese corpses. The corpses extended bit by bit to the American position. In some places, the distance between the two sides was very close. Americans returned wildly under the bombardment of Japanese warships, while Japanese soldiers rushed wildly to the beach under the cover of naval guns.
"Suddenly! Suddenly!" On a machine gun position in the United States, the shooter was swinging the machine gun back and forth, hitting the bullet at the enemy in the distance, and the Japanese soldiers jumped into the trench with the bayonet. Trenches. Some American soldiers with shotguns and submachine guns fired violently, knocking down Japanese soldiers who had entered the trenches to the ground.
However, more Japanese soldiers rushed into the trenches. An American officer ran out of bullets in his carbine, but found that he had no time to install ammunition, so he took out his pistol and opened fire, screaming at him. Of a Japanese soldier knocked over the ground.
However, another Japanese soldier behind him jumped into the trench and hit the back of the beautiful officer with a shot. The bullet passed through the front chest, and the beautiful officer fell into the mud like this. Big shoes stepped on his body.
On the beach, a dozen Japanese soldiers finally carried a Type 92 heavy machine gun ashore. This kind of heavy machine gun with a total weight of more than 110 pounds is definitely a deserved guy. Of course, compared with the Browning used by the American soldiers, the performance of this Japanese "independent" machine gun can only be described in general.
However, at this time, a heavy machine gun that can provide continuous fire support can allow the Japanese Marines with only 38-type rifles to regain some confidence. With the deputy shooter continually stuffing the bullets into the bomb bay, the machine gun began to shoot out tongues of fire, suppressing American machine gun positions in the distance.
With the cover of this machine gun, more Japanese weapons began to spread on the beach, including Japanese characteristic weapon tossing barrels. This kind of weapon can be said to be a small mortar or a simple grenade launcher. In short, at certain moments, such a large number of Japanese equipped weapons are still very threatening. After two precise toss-barrel attacks, the US beachhead defense line was finally breached, and hordes of Japanese soldiers rushed towards the breakthrough. The Kauai landing battle continued after three hours of intense fighting between the two sides.
