Hardcore ruthless starts in the Pacific

Leckie shoots straight up like a madman.

The Japanese army wading across the river fell down a large area in an instant.

"My head!"

Ivan looked unwillingly at Lecky who had resumed his long-burst shooting, but before he had a chance to complain, a few bullets landed on the front of the parapet, and the dust from them hit his face hard. Up——The blood-stained face suddenly changed from dark red to black red.

The advantage of flares is that we can see the enemy clearly, but the disadvantage is that the enemy can also see our own side clearly. When Ivan raised his head again, a soldier in a lying bunker in front left was hit by a bullet in the shoulder.

I saw the soldier's body twitch violently, and then he rolled and howled in the bunker as if he was addicted to drugs.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

"Help, save me, save me!"

"Mom, mom... Mom ah ah ah!"

Being hit on the shoulder by a full-power rifle bullet does not necessarily mean death on the spot. If it is still hit by a 6.5 cover with a 7.7MM plate bullet, there is a high probability that it will pass through and only leave a small hole, but 500MM has a plate bullet. It's different, the latter will cause a terrible cavity effect and leave a hole the size of a [-] yen coin directly when the human body is worn out. If you don't get timely rescue, you will soon die from too much blood loss.

The response speed of the medical soldier was very fast. When he heard someone shouting for help, he immediately ran up. Seeing that the medical soldier didn't pay attention to his tactical actions at all, he gave up crawling and chose to rush forward, just to get there as quickly as possible. near the wounded.

Ivan admired him deeply, because he would definitely give priority to his own safety, and if his responsibilities could not be avoided, he would use the crawling method, and would never choose such a risky way of advancing like a cat waist sprint.

After arriving at the destination, the injured Ma Run immediately grabbed the medical soldier and shouted.

"Save me, save me!"

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"

While comforting the wounded, the medical soldiers injected him with morphine.

"It's okay, you'll be fine!"

"Now, now we evacuate the battlefield and take you to a safe place!"

After finishing speaking, the medical soldier grabbed the wounded soldier's clothes and dragged them from the front line to the 1.5 line, but when the medical soldier dragged to Ivan's side, a bullet penetrated the wounded soldier's head, blood and The mixture of brains flowed out of the helmet in no time.

"Fuck!"

The medical soldier couldn't help but yelled, "He's already been shot, isn't that enough, isn't that enough!? You are a bunch of beasts, a bunch of bastards!"

He used the risk of being shot in exchange for the life of a soldier, but he got such a cruel ending... Once or twice is fine, too many times are enough to break the spirit of a medical soldier.

Before the medical soldier could vent his emotions enough, another soldier on the battlefield was shot and shouted for help. The medical soldier glanced at the soldier on the ground who he could not save, gritted his teeth and rushed out again.

Maybe the next soldier could be rescued by him, or maybe the next Ma Run was shot through the head by a bullet on the way to rescue like the unlucky guy who is now lying on Ivan's side.

"How much psychological quality does it take to face such a cruel reality?"

Ivan couldn't help but think of Sirius Dodge, the medical soldier who helped him.

If he hadn't died, he might as well have been a medical soldier who was not afraid of life and death in the hail of bullets.

20. The so-called courage

The shells flew wantonly on the battlefield. The mortar squad of Company H had no concept of saving ammunition at all, and it didn't matter whether the barrels would overheat. They only knew that more comrades would die if they stopped, because the Japanese troops on the front line Extra crazy.

"Damn it, little Japan is out of his mind?"

Just over half an hour after the start of the battle, the battle entered a fierce stage. Facing Ma Run, who occupied favorable terrain and dug favorable fortifications, this group of Japanese troops actually launched a suicidal attack under the order of the front-line commander—yes, it is the famous " Onboard Charge'.

A total of 30 people held rifles with bayonets and shouted to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, no matter how deep the stream was or how strong the US firepower was, they rushed straight into the unbunked Alligator Creek.

Ivan threw himself out as a living target, and Ivan was full of déjà vu.

It turns out that some anti-Japanese dramas depicting the scenes of the Japanese army group charging are not too outrageous. It is just that the distance between people during the charge is exaggerated for the effect of the film and television drama. That's about two or three meters away.

Yiwen, who has two swords in Japanese, can even hear clearly what these idiots are saying.

In addition to "on board", it is more about insulting Ma Run as a coward, whether he dares to fight in close quarters.

Ma Run's answer is very simple - you are an idiot!

Lecky's M1917 directly changed the long burst to strafing. With only half a cigarette, the Japanese troops in the first and second rows were knocked down by half.

Faced with such a live target, the infantry also "smiled and burst into flowers", that is, until the mountain people sent the ammunition to keep the heavy machine gun output, Ivan shot a Japanese soldier with an M1903 Springfield rifle, which was his marksmanship Mushed - hit on the animal's thigh.

If there are no other accidents, this little Japan will undoubtedly die!

But accidents are most likely to occur in wars—it just so happened that the heavy artillery belonging to the division headquarters was ready to fire in less than an hour, and the 81mm mortars belonging to the battalion headquarters also joined the battle, and the two artillery positions coincided with each other Fired in the direction of the enemy, Ivan immediately saw how the steel sea of ​​fire was made.

The 105 and 155 howitzers covered the forest on the east bank with intensive firepower, while the 81 mortars fired directly at Alligator Creek.

The sound of the shells exploding was so loud that it seemed to tear the sky apart. Even at a distance of 300 meters, you could still see the sparks when the 105 and 155 howitzer shells exploded, like a slender and immature mushroom cloud.

The high-explosive shell fired by the 81MM mortar landed in the Alligator Creek and exploded countless water splashes. It was clearly under the night, but the water splashes were filled with scarlet, mixed with a large number of stumps and broken arms——Initiate onboard The charging Japanese army was quickly swallowed by shells, and the gunfire on the west bank gradually diminished. Ma Run and the others were watching Little Japan struggling under the artillery fire.

For the first time, I realized that a flesh and blood body of human beings may not be as hard as a wooden board under intensive artillery fire.

"here you go!"

"Blow them up!"

"Kill them all!"

Ivan couldn't imagine how the ancestors survived such artillery cover and successfully held their positions in the cold Korean Peninsula. Just the 105 and 155 howitzers falling on the east bank were enough to engulf the seemingly spacious place. It seemed that the entire forest was going to be blasted into scorched earth.

This is only the power of a heavy artillery battalion owned by the 1st Marine Division. In the Korean peninsula, there was a large amount of support from the Air Force and Navy naval guns, especially the Air Force's B-29 "Super Fortress" bomber - throw it down The power of aerial bombs far exceeds that of battleship main guns.

Only when he regained his senses did he realize that the kill he had been thinking about was just like that being robbed of his head by the Heavy Artillery Battalion.

Probably because there were impact point observers on the front line, the heavy artillery only dropped four or five rounds of shells about 300 meters in front of the west bank position, and then extended to the east, trying to use artillery fire to destroy the follow-up reinforcements or the second echelon of the Japanese army that is attacking Alligator Creek. .

The continuous artillery fire stopped for a few seconds. The two M1917s of Company H continued to fire in short bursts. The biggest advantage of the water-cooled machine gun is that there is no need to replace the barrel like the air-cooled machine gun. Just keep filling the holster with water. Continuity of fire.

Each machine gun position has a common water tank and two spare water tanks. As long as the number of Japanese troops coming over does not reach an exaggerated level, it is completely enough. It is even said that as long as water can be obtained from Alligator Creek, as many bullets as there are can be used. How many bullets are fired!

The M83 flare was fired by the mortar again, and the rifleman who temporarily stopped shooting looked at the corpses floating on the river in silence for a long time.

Perhaps every Ma Run has fantasized about what war is like, but there is no scene like this one—the blood seems to dye the stream red, and dozens of corpses seem to block the flowing water. The forest used to be lush and lush, but now every tree is full of bullet holes, and there are corpses under the trees, and the blood seems to dye the entire black soil into a bewitching red.

Ma Run's silence was not showing respect to the dead, but just stunned by the scene in front of them.

There will never be many people who can really get used to the bloody scenes on the battlefield. Ma Run, who is still alive, is considered a recruit for the first time on the battlefield. Stomach overwhelmed.

Ivan saw that many soldiers vomited, but they vomited out their stomach juice with a smile—because they joined the Marine Corps to kill devils and avenge their dead compatriots.

Ideals can also be said to be desires and desires. No one will cry or have a bitter face when they achieve their desires.

Of course, what this group of Ma Run didn’t expect was that there were still a group of Japanese soldiers who were bombarded with heavy artillery... No, they should have been driven to the east bank of Alligator Creek by heavy artillery, and then lay down on the ground and waited for the bombardment to end , now using the corpse as a cover and firing towards the West Bank.

"Enemy, open fire!" Lieutenant Shock Ligan roared loudly, "Kill these scumbags!"

The M1917 heavy machine gun immediately changed from short bursts to long bursts, firing towards the forest on the east bank where the effect of the flares gradually faded and became dim.

It is simply unbelievable that the bullets fired by the machine gun position for so long have not been hit by enemy artillery fire.

Ivan remembered that the grenadier had a lot of shells falling near him, but none of them affected Lecky's trigger finger. After the heavy artillery battalion and battalion-level 81 mortars fired, the enemy's grenadier seemed to be dumb. Generally, except for sporadic bullets splashing over, the Japanese army seemed to have lost their ability to resist.

The gunshots were very loud, and Ma Run and the others seemed to be immersed in an indescribable state. They pulled the trigger and loaded the bullets ecstatically, without even noticing that a few Japanese soldiers came out of the reeds on the left-wing beach.

Ivan was the first to find it, but before he could crawl over to tell him, the Smiling Tiger, who was the assistant shooter, immediately reminded Lecky: "Look—that position!"

Little Japan moved like locusts in the reeds, and this place happened to be the place where the heavy artillery battalion and the battalion's mortars did not take care of them.

"Damn it! We have to move there!"

At this time, Lieutenant Shock Ligan also discovered the Japanese army's attempt to outflank the flanks. Just as he was about to remind the machine gun team next to him, he found that Lecky had already put on anti-scald gloves and quickly dismantled the barrel and water pipes. Move towards the beach.

They didn't bring a water tank, and Ivan immediately ran out of the bunker, and came to the original machine gun position in three steps instead of two. During the continuous shooting, it turned into water vapor and there was not a drop left, and the other two bullets pierced the bottom without a drop.

No wonder Smiling Tiger didn't bring a water tank, because there is no point in carrying it at all, but without water, how can we ensure that the firepower of the M1917 will not be interrupted?

Waiting for the spare water tanks to be brought in by the 2rd row in the 3nd row as the reserve team?Not to mention whether it can be sent to the right place on this messy battlefield, the time it takes for the Japanese army to break through the left flank is just the notification, the messengers running back, taking the spare water tank and running back.

If the left flank is breached, Lecky and Smiling Tiger will definitely die, Ivan will lose two reliable comrades in arms, and the company's position may collapse in a short period of time—in fact, many soldiers were not killed in battle. , Often they were hunted down to death when fleeing.

The most important thing is that in order to defend the position, the vicious and desperate Ma Run is very likely to shout "fire at me".

Yiwen has no confidence at all in evading the Japanese army's pursuit without the assistance of his comrades, or in surviving under the cover of indiscriminate artillery fire, so he can only gamble.

"Ho Ho... Ho Ho..."

After taking two deep breaths, Ivan resolutely pulled out of the machine gun position, ran to the edge of the stream as fast as he could and soaked the water tank in Alligator Creek.

"Evan, what are you doing?!"

This scene was seen by Lieutenant Shock Ligan, who was about to find the mortar team, his pupils shrank suddenly at this moment, and he knew what to do when he saw the water tank in Ivan's hand, but he would never let the soldiers take such a huge risk. risk, so immediately shouted: "Come back, hurry back—!"

His voice had become hoarse during the battle, as if his vocal cords had suffered unimaginable damage in the past two hours.

How could Ivan obey orders.

Of the three water tanks, two were damaged, and the water in one was turned into steam. Even if the machine guns were transferred there, they could only fire continuously for 10 minutes. An infantry squad stationed there did not have decent machine gun firepower at all. The main direction of attack must be heavily suppressed, and if Ivan wants to survive, he must not let the machine gun misfire!

Seeing that Ivan had no intention of coming back at all, Lieutenant Huckleberry ordered the riflemen around him again with a loud voice.

"Cover him!"

"Fire and cover Ivan!"

"Don't let the Japanese army have a chance to attack Yiwen, shoot out all the bullets and suppress them!"

In just a few seconds, Lieutenant Shock Ligan squeezed several sweats for Ivan, and watched several tracer bullets fly towards Ivan, but fortunately, they all landed beside him or passed by him. Hit him directly.

"Quick, come back quickly—!"

Outside@~group|5=/1&7<8$[-]#[email protected]1#*[-]&~

At this moment, Ivan was sweating profusely, and his clothes were directly stuck to his skin. He was shaking like a three-cylinder engine because of fear. Those who didn't know thought he had ADHD. After all, such a bold thing was definitely the first time he had grown up so big .

In just a few dozen seconds, Ivan felt bullets grazed over every position on the top of his head, face, shoulders, waist, and thighs. The familiar hot sting feeling was two or three shots per second, but he just didn't hit it. hit yourself.

Feeling that the water was almost filled, Ivan immediately crawled back to the machine gun position, and exactly six or seven bullets hit the sandbags at the front of the position as if they were aiming at themselves. Listening to the muffled sounds, Ivan Let out a long breath.

Exciting?

Ivan, who had slipped through the gate of hell, felt his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

"Are you a fucking idiot?"

At this time, Lieutenant Huckleberry ran over and almost gave him the butt of his gun, "Do you want to become the innocent soul under the gun of the little Japanese?"

Yiwen didn't speak, but just kicked over the two damaged spare water tanks.

Seeing this scene, Lieutenant Huckleberry was stunned for a few seconds, and the anger on his face because the soldier didn't cherish his own life and made an astonishing move was swept away.

"I was wrong about this... You are undoubtedly a hero, and I will tell the battalion truthfully—" Lieutenant Huckleberry wiped the blood from Ivan's face, "Now go back to your battle Post, completely kill this group of scum!"

"Aye aye, sir!"

Ivan and Lieutenant Huckleberry staggered to the leftmost position, while the lieutenant ran to the 1.5th line to mobilize a mortar unit to provide artillery support at the position where Alligator Creek entered the sea.

21. Heavenly Soldier

Seid Phillips is undoubtedly lucky as the third gunner of the 60 mortar. The position arranged on the 1.5 line perfectly avoided the firepower of the Japanese army. gunner.

Witnessing the front line being hit by the Japanese grenade, Phillips was very anxious, because there were brothers he cared about—the chef, the professor, the smiling tiger, the mountain people, and even the messengers who always had to go back and forth between the first line and the second line Also wartime ammunition hand scud.

Staying at the 1.5th line and watching the shells exploding continuously in the 1st line, he would undoubtedly think that this was a terrible battle. Maybe in the blink of an eye, the comrades he cared about fell in a pool of blood.

Unfortunately, God did not give him more time to worry.

Even though it was about 1 meters away from Line 200, a stray bullet flew over and hit the forehead of the second gunner who was firing the M83 flare, killing him on the spot.

Phillips was right behind the second gunner, and the blood rushed into the air like a splash of water, and then poured on the face of Ma Run, who was half a month away from his 18th birthday.

At this time, he was not only dumbfounded, but also had no way to fight back.

Although it was not the first time I saw Ma Run's death, it was the first time I saw a comrade who worked closely with me on weekdays die in the mortar field without being able to say a word.

"Sid!?"

Seeing that Philips was on the spot, the commander of the 60th mortar immediately shouted loudly.

"Syd—!"

Although he also felt sad because of the death of the second gunner, the current Japanese army is in a period of crazy attack.He knew very well that as long as the mortar stopped, the Japanese army would be able to attack the first-line positions unscrupulously, so there was no time to be sad, and the 1 gun must continue to work.

"Are sir!"

Wiping the blood on his face, Phillips quickly came to the position of the second gunner.

"I taught it during training, and you have actually fought many times." The gunner patted the young man on the shoulder and said in a calm tone, "Just follow the training, and listen to my password later——!"
