In the torrential rain, gunpowder smoke filled the air, and explosions occurred one after another. Countless Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces with the continuous explosions, and the screams and wailings of Japanese soldiers were everywhere.
However, at this time, Masao Maruyama had become a complete gambler. He knew that if he rushed into Henderson Airport, he would be able to capture Guadalcanal. If he could not capture Henderson Airport, he would not only capture the
The goal of Guadalcanal will be in vain, and even the survival of the Second Division will be in question.
Therefore, Maruyama Masao no longer cares about the life and death of his soldiers. For him, even if the entire division is wiped out, as long as he can capture the airport, it is his greatest victory.
"Attack!" Masao Maruyama shouted hoarsely.
Near Henderson Airport, Nasu Yukio continued to organize soldiers to attack Henderson Airport. Countless Japanese soldiers tied samurai scarves on their heads, threw down their raincoats, and issued death threats to Henderson Airport with rifles in hand.
charge.
"Boom! Boom!"
Amidst the explosions, waves of Japanese soldiers were blown away. The American artillery fire was too fierce. Hundreds of large-caliber naval guns, plus dozens of ground artillery fire, destroyed the entire Henderson Airport.
The perimeter is completely sealed off, and anyone who comes close to it, whether human or animal, will be blown to pieces.
Originally, Nasu Yumio wanted to wait for the American artillery fire to become sparse before attacking. However, Nasu Yumio did not expect that the wealthy Americans did not care about the artillery shells at all.
with Japanese soldiers.
At this moment, the originally stormy night gradually became brighter, with a few stars twinkling in the sky. However, when Nasu Yumio saw this scene, his face turned pale in an instant. He knew that when the sky cleared,
Eyes, as soon as daybreak comes, the American planes parked at the airport will take off and bombard the attacking troops of the Second Division indiscriminately. By then, the entire Second Division will probably suffer heavy losses.
I don't have much time left, I must attack with all my strength!
Thinking of this, Yumi Nasu immediately ordered all the regiments to charge with all their strength, and they must capture Henderson Airport before dawn...
"Captain, the Japs are desperate for their lives!" Ergazi stood on the tower of the airport, looking at the Japs in the distance who kept attacking in the explosion, and kept smacking his lips.
"The little devil is really crazy!" Zhuoligetu also said.
"Good job!" Jin Daohan said angrily, looking very relieved.
Xu Rui said: "The little devils are trying to show their way out. They have no other way to go. As soon as dawn comes, our planes will be dispatched. By then, the devils will suffer huge losses. So now is their only choice."
If we can't attack Henderson Airport now, it will be even more difficult to attack Henderson Airport in the future. Look, it won't be long before the little devils are going to make the craziest attack."
Perhaps to prove that Xu Rui's words were correct, not long after, the Japanese really stepped up their offensive.
"Ergazi, show me the telescope!" Zhuoligetu said.
"Atu, what are you grabbing?" Ergazi gave the telescope to Zhuoligetu.
"Hi! Hi!" Zhuoligetu suddenly shouted while holding a telescope.
"Atu, what's your ghost name?" Ergazi said.
Zhuo Ligetu said: "Ergazi, I saw a high-ranking Japanese official!"
"Sir, where are you?" Ergazi asked.
"It's on a small high ground in front. Look, there are so many people around, and there are a lot of flashlights. The man in the middle is holding a telescope. What is he if he's not a high-ranking official?" Zhuoligetu said.
Xu Rui took the telescope and looked into the distance. Sure enough, under the moonlight, he could vaguely see that there were many people standing on a small high ground about a kilometer outside the airport. One of the people in the middle should be a senior Japanese officer.
, holding a telescope in his hand, constantly looking ahead.
"Hey, eat the fat meat that comes to your door!" Xu Rui took off the telescope and said.
"Where are the sweet potatoes?" Xu Rui asked.
"Sweet potato is sleeping in the back," Ergazi said.
"This guy is so heartless. There is such a lively fight outside, but he can still sleep," Xu Rui said.
"This guy Digua has been having a heated fight with a black female second lieutenant from the United States recently. He must have been tired yesterday." Ergazi said with a smile.
"This guy is always so carefree," Xu Rui said.
"Who is talking about me?" Digua yawned and stretched out from the back room.
Xu Rui said: "Sweet potato, don't sleep. Have you seen the small high ground in front of you? Can you hit the middle high ground?"
Digua took the telescope, looked at it, and said, "Captain, it's at least two thousand meters away from here. Let me give it a try."
"Okay, Ergazi, give the mortar to Digua, and you can be his assistant and kill the target on that small high ground."
"yes!"
Ergazi responded, and immediately went downstairs with Digua. Ergazi set up the mortar, and then asked: "Can you hit the sweet potato?"
Digua said: "It's so dark, I can't see anyone at all, so I can only try with my six senses."
Having said this, Sweet Potato released the six senses, just like threads, constantly stretching out towards the front.
"No, the artillery fire is too dense, which affects the expansion of my six senses, and the distance is too far," Digua said.
Ergazi said: "Then let me try it."
"I can't do it, but can you?" Digua pouted.
Ergazi said: "Don't forget, I am born with six senses, and I can increase my search range over time without any training."
"Can you feel the distance of two thousand meters now?" Digua asked.
Ergazi did not speak. He just closed his eyes and released his six senses. After a while, Ergazi suddenly said: "The distance to the left at eleven o'clock and a quarter is 2,100 meters away."
"You're really capable." Digua pouted, not believing Ergazi's words at all. He just adjusted the angle of the mortar according to the direction and distance Ergazi said.
"Pass!"
The mortar was fired and exploded near Nasu Yumio. Nasu Yumio frowned and ignored it. He still looked in the direction of the airport with his binoculars.
"General, there is danger here, you'd better hide." An officer advised.
"It's just a stray bullet, no need to make a fuss." Nasu Yumio said calmly. Although he was a little scared in his heart, he couldn't lose face in front of his subordinates. He must behave calmly and not be frightened.
yes.
"But General..."
"No need to say more!" Nasu Yuixiong said loudly, and on the surface he seemed to have the demeanor of a general.
"Hai..."
Airport side.
"Haha... Ergazi, I said you were so awesome. Did you hit it?" Digua said gloatingly.
Ergazi closed his eyes again, and after a while, he opened his eyes and said, "I can't make a mistake this time. Move five degrees to the left."
"Okay." Digua pouted, adjusted the angle and position of the cannon again, and then threw a cannonball into the barrel.
"Pass!"
There was a deep sound, and the shell flew out and flew towards the airport high ground. This shot, however, missed again.
"What's going on?" Ergazi frowned.
"Ergazi, I told you that you were bragging and you still don't accept it," Digua teased.
Ergazi said: "I will definitely not be wrong this time, maybe you are wrong."
"Am I wrong? Impossible!" Digua shook his head.
Ergazi looked at the barrel for a moment and said, "There seems to be something wrong with the ruler."
Digua looked at the ruler and realized that the ruler was indeed a little off.
Ergazi blushed and said sheepishly: "I'll correct it and try again."
"Yeah." Ergazi nodded, and then Digua adjusted the ruler, corrected the orientation, and put the third mortar shell into the barrel.
"Pass!" The mortar fired again with a low sound.
"boom!"
The shot hit the high ground, and a brilliant flame erupted from the high ground. More than a dozen people standing on it fell down.
This was really a magical shot. Little did Ergazi know that his shot not only killed Nasu Yumio, the commander of the Nasu detachment, but also killed Colonel Takahashi, captain of the 16th regiment of the second division, and Colonel Matsushita, captain of the 29th regiment.
Killed at the same time.
As the three infantry commanders on the front line of the Japanese were killed, and they lost the unified command of the front line, the Japanese attack collapsed instantly, and the Japanese retreated like a tide, and Henderson Airport finally turned the corner.
"Captain, the Japanese have withdrawn!" Zhuo Ligetu shouted excitedly.
Xu Rui nodded and muttered to himself: "Who did the sweet potato shot hit? It made the Japanese retreat at once."
At this moment, Digua and Ergazi excitedly went up to the tower, and Xu Rui said: "Good job, Digua."
Old Digua blushed and said: "Captain, that shot just now was thanks to Ergazi. If he hadn't used his six senses to detect the distance and direction of the target, I wouldn't have been able to hit the target."
"Oh?" Xu Rui's heart moved. It should be about two thousand meters from the place where Ergazi fired the gun to the place where the Japanese were hit. Ergazi could actually detect that far with his spiritual sense. This distance was far beyond what his spiritual sense could cover.
The distance is almost the same, which means that Ergazi's six senses have almost caught up with his own.
Xu Rui couldn't help but smile bitterly. This is the difference in talent. Ergazi is an innate opener of the six senses. He doesn't need much practice to continuously improve his detection distance. However, he often practices, and the detection distance with Ergazi is only
Comparing one another among brothers is really infuriating.
"Commander, we fought so beautifully in this battle. I estimate that the number of Japanese who died outside the airport is at least a few thousand," Zhuoligetu said.
Xu Rui said: "This is just the beginning. The Japanese will definitely not abandon Guadalcanal because of this. We will still face many fierce battles."
"Captain, it's almost dawn!" Ergazi pointed to the east and said. Xu Rui looked towards the eastern sky. The morning star had risen into the sky, and a faint fish belly white was revealed on the sea...
