The flares rose into the air and illuminated the vicinity of the No. 2 river area. The Japanese who had just crossed the river were unable to hide under the flares. The American machine gun positions began to fire at the Japanese who had just crossed the river. The Japanese assault troops, who had just advanced smoothly, immediately
Suffered a devastating disaster.
This time the Americans opened up all firepower, and six heavy machine guns blocked the entire landing area on the river beach. All the Japanese who had just landed ashore fell in a pool of blood.
The flare not only allowed the Americans to discover the traces of the Japanese, but also allowed Yu Yang to find the precise location of the Americans. Yu Yang had already completely lost his way when he approached the No. 2 river. The No. 2 river was very long. Yu Yang
Not knowing the specific location of Regiment C, Yu Yang, who was rushing all the way before dark, found the No. 2 River but found no trace of the Americans.
Just as Yu Yang was wandering around in the woods, a flare suddenly appeared on the left. It was far away from Yu Yang, but the place where the flare was located must have been an exchange of fire between the Americans and the Japanese. He immediately moved quickly in the direction of the flare.
Move, hoping to find John Barones in that position.
Yu Yang didn't remember to calculate how far the Americans were from Yu Yang, but the distance was definitely not close. Yu Yang saw that the flare in mid-air was at least two kilometers away from him in a straight line, but it was particularly obvious in the dark night.
, Yu Yang saw the sky on the far side light up through the gap in the dense forest.
Moreover, this is in the jungle. There are many mountainous roads in the jungle. You may have to walk four or five kilometers or more to walk there. Moreover, the flare only flashes by. Yu Yang can only remember the general direction. In the jungle,
Especially at night, when unfamiliar with the terrain, even a twenty-year-old scout can easily get lost.
Yu Yang carried his backpack, M4A1 and AWM, and quickly shuttled through the jungle. Every time he walked a few dozen meters forward, Yu Yang had to listen carefully to identify the direction. At the same time, he would also turn his ears to listen carefully.
Sound, hoping that being able to hear the gunshots of Japanese and Americans would make it easier for Yu Yang to identify the direction.
But now Yu Yang was downwind and couldn't hear any gunshots at all. Without a guiding target, Yu Yang had already lost his way when he walked about three hundred meters forward, so he had to adopt the stupidest method.
The solution is to walk near River No. 2 and walk along River No. 2, hoping that the Americans and Japanese can fight on both sides of the river.
Regardless of Yu Yang's worry, it was obviously unnecessary. Just when Yu Yang was about to grope forward along the river, the U.S. military's flares rose from a distance again, guiding Yu Yang in the direction of progress. This time it was not
Not one illumination bomb, but three illumination bombs, lighting up half of the entire night sky.
Seeing this scene, Yu Yang immediately continued to move quickly towards the eleven o'clock position. He had just deviated from the intended direction. There is a big difference between moving in the jungle and moving in the plains. You are walking.
Sometimes you encounter a lot of obstacles. From time to time you need to avoid the obstacles. At this time, you can continue to move forward.
Visually you think you are still moving along the established position, but in fact there has been a slight deviation. One side may not affect the direction of progress, but there are many trees in the jungle, and you have to dodge a lot, so
When I walked less than two or three hundred meters, I had completely deviated from the target.
If it were daytime, there would still be the sun as a reference, but now it is dark, and the brightest stars in the night sky are blocked by thick clouds.
Yu Yang was moving towards the battlefield at high speed. On both sides of the No. 2 River in the distance, Americans and Japanese were fighting to the death.
The first batch of Japanese soldiers who forcibly crossed the river were all cleared by the American machine gun positions, but the Americans with full firepower encountered crazy Japanese bombardment, with more than a dozen grenades and mortars, bombing continuously.
US military positions.
Of the three flares that Yu Yang saw just now, two of them were sent by the Japanese, which clearly illuminated the US military's defensive positions. At the same time, some Japanese began to charge wildly again, preparing to cross the river.
At the same time, Japanese people also appeared on both sides of the US military, and they were moving at high speed towards the US military's butt.
"There are Japanese on both sides, John, you take the people to deal with the Japanese on the left!" The US military officer immediately began to deploy operations. The night battle made the US military very uncomfortable. The Japanese appeared from various places like ghosts and then made sneak attacks.
Americans, several US military positions have been successfully attacked by the Japanese.
"Roger it!" John Barons shouted, and led his men to move quickly to the left. John Barons was now a platoon leader. In the melee on the beach during the day, the platoon leader and deputy platoon leader were all killed.
, John Barones temporarily became the top commander of the platoon based on his military rank.
"Attention, there are Japanese in front, prepare to fight!" After walking a few steps to the left, John Barones used the last bit of the afterglow of the flare to see a figure flashing in the jungle on the left, and immediately raised his gun to take aim.
In the past, all other American soldiers also raised their weapons at the same time.
A second later, a detachment of Japanese soldiers rushed out from the left, holding Sanba Gai and roaring loudly. But as soon as they showed up, they heard a crisp gunshot not far away. A detachment
All the Japanese fell to the ground in an instant. John Barones waved his hand, and a dozen American soldiers followed John Barones and continued to advance.
John Barons and his American soldiers are considered to be the dozen or so best-equipped Marines on Guadalcanal. They each have an M1 Garand rifle, which John Barons snatched from the Army before.
Because of this, after John Barons served as the temporary platoon commander, all the American soldiers were convinced of him.
"Bang bang bang..."
After walking a few steps forward, the two American soldiers at the front fell to the ground. The fatal bullets fired in the darkness took away the young lives of the two American soldiers. John Barons immediately faced
The trigger was pulled at the location of the gunfire: "Suppression fire, suppression fire, machine gunner, set up the machine gun, there are many Japanese in front!"
"Yes, sir!"
Two U.S. soldiers held a light machine gun, randomly found a tree and lay on the ground. After setting up the weapon, they pulled the trigger at the location where the Japanese might be in front, and then screams were heard in the distance.
, and at the same time a flare was lit above John Barones' head.
