blood feud

Colonel Hunter, head of the 5th Marine Regiment, took the lead and was the first to rush to the beach.

The troops rushed ashore after them, gradually expanded the beachhead, and developed in depth.

Then the beachhead control group went ashore and organized follow-up troops to go ashore in an orderly manner.

The Japanese monkeys neither laid obstacles on the beach nor planted landmines, and everything seemed to be going well.

Colonel Hunter led a platoon of more than 40 people, and quickly rushed through the shallow water and crossed the 180-meter-wide white sand beach.The two battalions behind also rushed to the beach!

chug - chug - chug -

The unique roar of the Type [-] heavy machine gun finally shattered the American dream. Colonel Hunter rushed to the front and was smashed to pieces on the spot.

As soon as the battle started, the American devils lost a main regiment leader.

A platoon of more than 40 people who followed did not react at all, and the entire army was wiped out.

It turned out that Yimu Qingzhi had fought bloody battles with the Eighth Route Army for many years, and he had the most experience in close combat and field combat.Seeing that his defensive position had not been discovered, the cruelty in the little devil's heart was finally fully exposed.

Now the sea is covered with fog, and the visibility is less than 80 meters, which is about the same as at night when there is a moon.Therefore, Kiyomi Ichiki treated this blocking battle as a night battle.

It was not until the enemy rushed to around 50 meters that Kazuki Kiyomi let out a low growl, and 9 heavy machine guns and 48 crooked light machine guns suddenly opened fire.

This trick was learned from the Eighth Route Army.

The Eighth Route Army in North China, because they were worried about the artillery of the "big" Imperial Japanese Army, put the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire within 30 meters before firing, and then they were caught off guard.

At such a short distance, even if you have [-] cannons, you wouldn’t dare to fire them now unless you don’t want your own people anymore.

Yimu Qingzhi suffered too much from this kind of tactics. Now he has transferred the Eighth Route Army's tactics intact, and then used them on the American devils, and it has really received great results.

There are more than 2000 people in the two battalions, all of them rushed to the range of 50-400 meters. In addition, the fortress is 3-5 meters above the beach. When playing to the maximum.

Kiyonao Kazuki ordered 9 heavy machine guns to block the rear of the beach-rushing troops, and 48 light machine guns from near to far to clean up the American devils lying on the ground layer by layer. He wanted to wipe out the invading enemy in one battle!

The white sandy beach is beautiful, and the harbor in the morning is equally charming.

But now it is full of dead bodies, and the blood is flowing like a river.

If you want to say that it is beautiful, it is a beautiful hell on earth.

The two sides fought for only 5 minutes, and more than half of the two battalions that landed had been lost.The remaining more than 1000 American soldiers are really called out every day, and the ground is not working.

Can't rush up, can't retreat, the most classic dilemma.

The remaining U.S. soldiers had no choice but to give up the counterattack. They threw the guns in their hands aside, pulled out the engineering shovel from behind, and braved the enemy's bullet rain to dig foxholes desperately, and then buried themselves in the sand.

No one cares about whether they are dead or alive in the end.

When the soldiers were digging foxholes in a panic, the commander who was observing the attack on the follow-up battleship, Commander Vandergrift, lost more than 1000 people in one encounter, and he was also bleeding from the bottom of his heart.

"I need a curved cannon, I need a flamethrower! Don't tell me that it can't be shipped, do you **** know that my soldiers are bleeding!"

Commander Vandergrift yelled at Admiral Nimitz in the wireless microphone: "In less than 5 minutes, less than half of the two battalions are left, and you are still talking about this to me!" it's useless!"

"Shut up! The enemy blocked the soldiers' retreat with heavy machine guns. Now the distance between them and the enemy is less than 50 meters. The dive bomber has a use! I want to drop the curved gun from the air, as soon as possible, the sooner the better!"

Admiral Nimitz did not expect that the situation of the battle would deteriorate so much, and the casualties would be so huge as soon as the battle started. How could the fight continue?

Apart from asking for reinforcements, there is no other way to go.However, who can accurately drop mortars and flamethrowers onto the beach?

The landing site here has southwest winds all year round. If the height of the airdrop is too high, it will be blown into the sea in the end.

If you don't use a parachute and throw it directly from the sky, all the equipment will become scrap iron, and you don't know how many people will be killed.

Admiral MacArthur was shocked when he received the telegram from Admiral Nimitz.

"There is only one way, Mr. Admiral!" Chief of Staff Sutherland said in a low voice: "The Second Lanfang Republic Division over Darwin, they have monster-like helicopters with a range of more than 2200 kilometers. As long as our aircraft carrier is on board Being able to allow them to land will solve the airdrop problem!"

MacArthur was overjoyed when he heard this: "Hurry up and get in touch, we are allies after all, and now we need their assistance!"

"That's okay, you let the landing force persist for five hours." Sutherland nodded: "Even if there is no problem with Darwin, but the distance is more than 1800 kilometers, the airdropped helicopter will take nearly six hours to arrive."

When Chen Jie received a telegram from Chief of Staff Sutherland asking for help, he didn't dare to call the shots, so he directly transferred the telegram to Bai Shujie.

"****, how did this happen?" Bai Shujie was dumbfounded when he saw that MacArthur's rescue was on his head: "I originally wanted them to fight to the death. As the saying goes: those who don't know are not guilty. What should we do now?" What about it? Others are asking for it, if you ignore it, it will be unreasonable."

Saving people is like putting out a fire.

Bai Shujie knew that he could no longer watch the big show, so he immediately sent a telegram:

"Order: The helicopter squadron at Darwin Airport, immediately take off 6 Kuanglong helicopters with full fuel, and refuel on the opponent's aircraft carrier. There is no need to drop any shit mortars, just blow up the little devil's fortress, cover the landing troops and take down the little devils Devil's fortification."

When Chen Jie received the order, he naturally didn't dare to be negligent. With one order, six Kuanglong helicopters took off and flew towards the hot battlefield 6 kilometers away to the east.

In fact, Chen Jie could not understand Bai Shujie's character very well. As long as others ask for his name, there is no reason to refuse.So the helicopter squadron unloaded all unnecessary loads, fully loaded with fuel, and was already ready to take off.

The troops code-named Y-ray, four battalions commanded by the deputy division commander, Brigadier General Rupustas, attacked Tulagi Island via the North Channel of Savo Island.The battle situation was exactly the same as that of Guadalcanal, and the US troops who landed had withstood the real test of war.

Tulagi Island is a natural sheltered harbor. There are two small islands on the east side of the island: Gavutu Island and Tanambogo Island, guarding Tulagi Island like two sentinels.

The British colonists built simple seaplane airports on these two small islands before the war. After the Japanese devils occupied them, they expanded and improved them, and planned to build them into seaplane airports that could monitor the entire Solomon Islands.

On Tulagi Island, the U.S. military overestimated the strength of the Japanese little devils and concentrated artillery fire to bombard them. The Japanese little devils hurriedly hid in the bunker, and there was no artillery fire at all.

However, the U.S. troops successfully landed under the cover of artillery fire, but soon after advancing in depth, they encountered stubborn resistance from the Japanese devils.

But on the two small islands, the U.S. military underestimated the little Japanese devils.

Due to the small size of the island, the Japanese little devils organized defenses at the front of the beach, and the artillery preparations of the US military failed to destroy the fortifications built by the Japanese little devils on the solid cliffs, and the landing craft launched too early, and began to attack from more than 1 meters away. This gave the Japanese little devils enough time to enter the frontier fortifications.

When the U.S. troops rushed ashore and were not able to gain a foothold, they suddenly opened fire. The U.S. beachhead commander was seriously injured, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties.Because the enemy and the enemy are too close, it is impossible to implement naval gun fire support.

The telegram for help from the deputy division commander, Brigadier General Rupustas, soon reached the division commander Vandergrift.The two are sick and sympathetic, and both hope to get air support as soon as possible.

Apart from being anxious, the two troops can only wait for time.Six hours, for the American soldiers on the beachhead, that is the baptism of purgatory.

Fortunately, it was not difficult to dig foxholes on the beach. The remaining American soldiers quickly bought themselves into the sand, and the little devil's light and heavy machine guns finally lost their target.

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, until 04:30 in the afternoon, 6 helicopters finally appeared over the fleet.

Because of the arrival of the rescuers, the second half of the flight deck of the aircraft carrier has already been cleaned up, and the refueling truck is already in place.

"Don't use your mortars, bring over 90 tons of your aviation heavy bombs." The helicopter pilot saw the US military bringing in the mortars, and immediately waved his hands: "The order I received is to blow up the front of the little Japanese devils directly." Fortress, send your troops up."

The next thing is simple, because the flight distance is only 20 kilometers, and a Kuanglong helicopter can carry 15.5 tons of bombs, which is equivalent to the bomb load of two B-2 Sky Fortress bombers.

Seeing their comrades fall in pieces, the American officers and soldiers also hated the little devils on the shore.So all of them are carrying 3-ton aerial bombs, and each Kuanglong helicopter mounts 5 bombs. It is necessary to blow up the little devil's fortress to pieces before he is reconciled.

The 6 helicopters were divided into two bombing units to reinforce Guadalcanal and Tulagi respectively.They didn't fly directly from the beachhead, but circled in a big circle, and suddenly came out from behind the little devil.

Hover at an altitude of 500 meters before dropping the bomb on the little devil's head. Three helicopters are 3 tons of bombs, which is equivalent to the power of 45 shells of 410mm naval guns. Even a 90mm thick steel plate will be blown through. What's more, the temporary fortress built by the little devil is just an ordinary concrete structure.

Besides, the tens of tons of bombs do not need to blow up the fortress at all, just the shock wave of the explosion will shock everyone to death.

The first round of the main game where the captain of Kiyoshi Kazuki played was wiped out by the first round of bombing.He and more than 1700 people in his forward position were all slaughtered by the American soldiers who swarmed up.

Unexpectedly, the Kuanglong helicopter became famous in the first battle. As a result, Commander Vandergrift saw that the troops had not suffered any casualties this time and had already completed the first combat mission, so he did not let the helicopter leave at all.

The helicopter had just returned to the aircraft carrier to refuel, but the ground crew put the bomb on it again.

The soldiers of the Lanfang Republic were all out of the bloody battle with the little devil. Now that they can kill the little devil, they will naturally not refuse.

With the helicopter opening the way with heavy bombs in front, the little devil couldn't resist at all. When he saw the American soldiers pressing down on the border, he fled directly into the jungle and never saw each other again.

In the next two hours, the follow-up US troops successfully disembarked without firing a single shot. By sunset, more than 1.1 people had landed on Guadalcanal.

Originally, the U.S. military didn't have a map, and they didn't know where the little devil's airport was. Now that they had helicopters, they started working as scouts.

At noon on August 1942, 8, the little devil's airport was finally discovered.

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
