"Don't fire at the machine gun position. Wait a moment, wait a moment, wait until the Japanese get closer before shooting. The rifles will start shooting!"
A U.S. military officer shouted loudly, and the machine gunner on the U.S. machine gun position, which was already ready to attack, immediately released the trigger, waiting for a better opportunity, while the remaining U.S. soldiers held their rifles and started shooting.
More than a hundred rifles fired at the same time, killing some of the Japanese soldiers who were rushing forward. At least fifty Japanese soldiers fell down. However, after the shooting, the basic firepower configuration of the US soldiers was almost exposed, except for a few machine guns.
Outside the position, most Americans have been exposed to Japanese artillery fire.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..." With several dull sounds, the Japanese grenade began to show its power. More than a dozen grenades fell on the US military position. In an instant, more than a dozen American soldiers were knocked to the ground.
Japan's use of grenade launchers can be said to be superb. As soon as the US military's firepower point was exposed, it was hit with precision in an instant.
"Damn it, kill the Japanese gunners, use suppressive fire, fire from the No. 1 and 2 machine gun positions. As for the snipers, find the Japanese grenade team and kill them!"
After the US military officers saw that the position was suppressed by Japanese artillery fire, they immediately changed their combat strategy. If they continued to wait, all the US soldiers might be killed by the Japanese before the Japanese approached the position.
"Yes, sir!" With the officer's order, the two machine gun positions No. 1 and 2 tore off their camouflage, revealing the ferocious barrels of the two old-fashioned heavy machine guns and firing at the Japanese soldiers on the other side of the river.
Ammunition, large-caliber machine gun bullets easily stopped the charging Japanese in the middle.
The machine gun positions established by the US military were very carefully constructed. There were enough bunkers and there were no obstacles in front of them. They could unscrupulously harvest the lives of Japanese soldiers in the open space on the other side of the river. At the same time, two snipers in the US military
They began to look for grenade operators hiding among the Japanese troops. These people were the greatest threat to the US machine gun positions.
The machine gun position had been raging for less than a minute when it came under artillery fire. Two grenades fell directly on both sides of the No. 1 machine gun position, and then more grenades fell in the area around the No. 2 machine gun position.
The machine gun position was much more unlucky than the No. 1 machine gun position. It was directly hit by a grenade, and the machine gunner, ammunition feeder and observer were killed immediately.
"Kill those damn grenade operators, kill them!" After seeing the No. 2 machine gun position being blown up, the U.S. commander immediately threw the binoculars in his hand to the ground in anger. He had already lost a machine gun just after the attack.
In this position, the officers no longer had high hopes of being able to defend River No. 2.
The Japanese began to forcibly cross the river. A group of Japanese who were less than 1.6 meters tall rushed into the No. 2 river. The water directly covered the waists of these Japanese, exposing half of their bodies. They moved slowly towards the other side of the river, while also
Some Japanese soldiers moved to both sides of the river, preparing to outflank the American troops holding the No. 2 river from both sides.
"The Japanese crossed the river and fired machine guns. The No. 6 and 7 machine gun positions were hidden. All the other machine gun positions opened fire to suppress the fire and cut off the connection between the Japanese in the river and the shore. The snipers continued to search for traces of Japanese grenade launchers and found them.
They, kill them directly!" The officer once again began to assign tasks.
The combat command capabilities of U.S. military officers are indeed much superior to those of the Japanese, and the tactics of the U.S. military are also much more advanced than those of the Japanese. The Japanese are still using the old tactics from World War I, intensive charge tactics, but this tactic is ineffective in the face of
When the Chinese army's weapons and equipment are inferior to theirs, it has obvious effects, and the position can be taken down with a single charge.
But facing the US military, although the Marine Corps was poorly equipped, the US military's firepower configuration was very complete, but the equipment was relatively old. The intensive Japanese charge turned into a death charge in front of the four machine gun positions.
The Japanese among them were like fixed targets. The machine guns fired a barrage of bullets, and the river was dyed red.
The U.S. military still retains two machine gun positions. This is the last reserve force of the U.S. military. Once the Japanese successfully cross the No. 2 River, the two hidden machine gun positions on the river bank will also cause the Japanese to spill blood on the beachhead. At the same time, the U.S. military
The reserve team is still on guard against the Japanese who may appear on both sides. Unless someone touches the butt of the US military, the Japanese will have to pay a bloody price if they want to forcefully cross the No. 2 River.
Time passed little by little, and the Japanese lost about 300 people in battle. They still made no breakthrough. They were still trapped on the other side of the No. 2 River, unable to cross. The No. 2 River was like a natural chasm, blocking the way.
With the help of the last rays of the sun, the Americans successfully repelled the first wave of Japanese attacks.
However, when darkness comes completely, the good days of the Americans come to an end. God is not on the side of the Americans this time. When night falls, the visibility in the jungle is already very low, and the weather today has been bad.
When the sun set below the horizon, the entire Guadalcanal Island fell into a long night, and the US military could not see the target five or six meters in front of its position.
The Japanese attacked again. Under the cover of night, the Japanese made a comeback. A large group of Japanese soldiers hunched over and cautiously came to the riverside again. Five hundred Japanese were like ghosts. In order not to
Making noise, these Japanese even took off all their shoes.
After the Japanese entered the river, they began to prepare to forcibly cross the river. At this time, no American soldiers found the Japanese. The visibility was too low. Even the secret sentries hiding by the river did not find the Japanese. John Barones was sitting on the No. 7 machine gun
In front of the position, staring at the depression on the other side of the river, I always felt that something was wrong, but I didn't know what was wrong.
About fifty of the five hundred Japanese vanguard successfully crossed the river and set foot on the other side of the No. 2 river. This was also the easiest area to cross in the entire river. The rest of the locations either had fast currents or were on both sides of the river.
The complex terrain is not suitable for crossing the river. It is the only place where crossing the river is easy and weapons and equipment can be transported.
"Japanese, the Japanese have crossed the river, flares, fire the flares quickly!"
After the Japanese crossed the river, the U.S. military sentry discovered traces of the Japanese. After shouting twice, the Japanese soldiers who emerged from both sides ended their lives with bayonets. However, before dying, they also gave the U.S. military positions in the rear a
