The battle was very fierce, but there were very few casualties. Although the number of American soldiers was not superior, the terrain was too favorable, and it was too dark. The Japanese could only fire based on gunfire, and the Americans could only fire one shot at a time.
In a place, as long as you are not an African chieftain, it is very difficult to get shot.
"At three o'clock, there is a Japanese team that wants to overwhelm us. Get closer to 30 meters, prepare grenades, and follow my command to throw them away!"
"There is a Japanese heavy machine gun at twelve o'clock!"
"Japanese light machine gun at eleven o'clock!"
"..."
Yu Yang used his night vision goggles to become a temporary commander on the battlefield, directing the direction of the U.S. military's firepower. At the same time, he used the accuracy of the AWM to continuously attack some Japanese junior officers. The low-level Japanese officers that Yu Yang snatched died.
There were about a dozen people. Yu Yang saw that the Japanese had the intention to retreat, and some Japanese began to hesitate.
"call out!"
"call out!"
Two shots broke through the air, and two flares rose up, but this time they did not fly towards the heads of the Japanese, but flew above the US military position, clearly illuminating the positions of Yu Yang and several other Americans.
Yu Yang felt that the field of view of the thermal vision device was completely white, so he immediately took it off, and the two flares were launched into the sky together, illuminating the area around Yu Yang as if it were daytime. The Japanese around him could see clearly.
"The Japanese are about to charge. Don't save ammunition. Kill as many Japanese as possible first and prepare for hand-to-hand combat!"
After Yu Yang finished speaking, he quickly stood up from his hiding position and ran towards a tree not far away. The current bunker was a small depression, which was very suitable for hiding in the dark night, but staying in it now,
It's just a living target.
More than a dozen bullets followed Yu Yang's footsteps and hit the position next to Yu Yang. After Yu Yang came behind the tree, he stretched his head and took a look. The Japanese who were hesitant just now had already launched a charge. Especially
A dozen Japanese soldiers who were relatively close to the US military position, now less than ten meters away, rushed towards the US military position.
Yu Yang held a Thompson submachine gun and fired at the Japanese, killing six or seven people before the Japanese lay down.
However, the Japanese behind were also approaching the US military position quickly. There were so many Japanese that the few people on the position could not be killed. A magazine would be empty in a few seconds. Yu Yang quickly changed the ammunition.
The box, in this state, is impossible to hold if you want to hold on to it.
Now Yu Yang could only pray that the effects of the flares would pass as soon as possible. As long as there were no flares overhead, he and the American soldiers would be able to hold on to this position. Now he could only hope that the Japanese would not use more flares.
The duration of the flare is about thirty seconds. About ten seconds have just passed and the Japanese are almost at the position. Yu Yang raised his head and glanced at the flare hanging in the air.
If possible, Yu Yang now really wants to bring down this flare, but this thing is hanging in the air, and there is absolutely nothing he can do to get it.
Yu Yang was firing and commanding loudly. More and more Japanese soldiers were approaching the position. Hand-to-hand combat would soon begin. Yu Yang had already emptied two Thomson magazines, leaving only the last magazine.
Even more unfortunate news came that the American soldiers were out of ammunition.
"I have no bullets. If any of you still have bullets, give me a few rounds!"
The first person to run out of bullets was the machine gunner. He had fired more than a hundred bullets in total before, but he had just fired them all. After picking up his rifle, he found that there was not even a single bullet.
"I only have eight bullets left in the last magazine. What should I do? Retreat?"
"I have three more shots!"
"I don't have any anymore!"
After Yu Yang heard this, he touched his pocket. He seemed to have picked up some Springfield rifle bullets before. He didn't know if they were the same as the Garand. He took them out and looked at them. He found that there were about thirty or forty rounds left.
He immediately ran out from behind the tree where he was hiding, then rolled around on the ground twice, came to the machine gunner's position, took out a handful of bullets and handed them over: "I only have so much, you take it first!"
Then Yu Yang took out more than ten bullets and threw them to another American soldier not far away. I don’t know how many he could pick up, but there was an open space several meters long between Yu Yang and him.
I simply ran over.
"Thanks, man! The Japanese have attacked, do we need to retreat?"
There is a big difference between European and American soldiers and Asian soldiers. That is, European and American soldiers can choose to surrender or retreat when the casualties of their troops exceed a certain proportion, and the command will not blame them. But the Asian army cannot
If you retreat, you will be held accountable.
Yu Yang shook his head and saw that the remaining American soldiers wanted to retreat. He immediately began to encourage them to retreat now. Not to mention these American soldiers, even Yu Yang could not guarantee that he could escape unscathed.
"Guys, now is not the time to retreat. These two damn flares above our heads will illuminate the surrounding area clearly!"
"I can guarantee that if we want to retreat now, we will be sieved by these damn Japanese as soon as we leave the bunker. Now we need to hold on until the effect of the flare ends, and then we can
Kill all these Japanese, and then it’s time to retreat!”
As Yu Yang spoke, he pulled the trigger on a Japanese who had just climbed up the slope. At the same time, more Japanese climbed up quickly from the other side.
Yu Yang immediately turned his gun, killed some guys, and bought a little time for the American soldiers beside him. Now for Yu Yang and the Americans, delaying for one second is a second of victory.
"It seems you are right, buddy, but now is a good time to retreat!" Yu Yang provided a brief fire cover. The two American soldiers who had no bullets had already replaced their ammunition and began to continue firing.
At this time, flares became a very useful thing again. The Japanese who had just climbed up were shot as targets as soon as they showed their heads. However, at the same time, an American soldier was hit by a Japanese sniper far down the slope and shot in the head.
.
"Damn it!" After Yu Yang saw it, he immediately took out his AWM, quickly found a Japanese sniper, and shot him to death. The biggest threat to the US military and Yu Yang now are Japanese grenade operators and some snipers.
Hands and machine guns are far less of a threat than these guys.
Fortunately, we were facing the Japanese. Japan's resources were extremely scarce. Snipers can be said to be rare animals in the military. If we were facing the Germans, there might be dozens of sniper rifles aimed at Yu Yang's heads in the current US military positions.
