Everyone thinks that Americans are a group of playboys, a group of rich children who can't fight. But in fact, we all don't understand the American nation. When the crisis comes, the nation is absolutely not short of heroes. At least in the whole history of World War II, the American will to fight is absolutely tough.
If Americans are afraid of casualties, they must not have seen the bodies of American soldiers on the beaches of Normandy. In the face of the German machine gun bullets sweeping like raindrops, the American soldiers are still struggling forward, when they finally won the beach, the water was dyed red.
In another time and space, bastoney, the 101st Airborne Division of the United States was surrounded by German superior forces. The German commander sent a letter to persuade the Americans to surrender in a commendatory tone. As a result, Brigadier General McAuliffe, the acting division commander at that time, only replied with one word: "silly X!"
Therefore, Americans do not lack patriotism, courage and sacrifice. What they lack is a reason to fight for their country and a belief to persuade themselves to die generously. When everything is ready, the fighting capacity of the Americans will burst out completely, and they will become a terrible beast of war, tearing up their opponents with their strong industrial heritage and patriotism.
Of course, if the industrial heritage has not been brought into play, the patriotism of the Americans will be as fragile as the Bushido of Japan in the face of steel. The Japanese artillery bombardment on the lovely island made everyone feel desperate. The shells rained on the positions of the U.S. Army, destroying the solid fortifications that took one month to build.
Compared with nearly 100 warships of the Japanese joint fleet, the artillery deployed by the Americans on lovely island did not even have the capital to fight back. As soon as they opened fire, they were crushed by the Japanese army from all aspects: bombing from the sky and suppression shooting from the sea, which directly turned these artillery into scrap iron.
"We are reorganizing our defense line. Although several main positions are seriously damaged, they can still be used to fight against the Japanese landing." The commander who asked for support looked at the field hospital not far away, at more than 30 wounded soldiers crying inside, frowned and assured his superiors: "yes! We will hold our ground until the withdrawal order comes
About 100 meters behind him, a shell raised the dust and sand that covered the sky, which made everyone involuntarily shrink their necks. When the noise came, the voice could no longer be heard clearly. The American commander had to confirm the order loudly again: "speak louder! I can't hear you! yes! We will hold our position until the order of retreat arrives
Before he had time to put down the phone, he saw the Japanese ships in the narrow space of the observation port and began to unload groups of Japanese soldiers. These Japanese soldiers made a terrible howl, climbed down the warship from the rope net bag laid from the high side of the ship, jumped onto the landing sampan and small boat, They launched an attack on the beach defended by the US Army.
"Headquarters? Hello? Headquarters? The Japanese soldiers are landing! " He took the microphone and reported to the inside again. Then he put down the phone and looked back at several signalmen: "go to their respective positions! Order the troops to fight back according to the original plan! Go
"Yes! Sir Several signalmen stood at attention to salute, then ran out of the command room with their helmets. At this time, the commander grabbed the phone again and contacted the battalion combat units under his command one by one. The main reason he sent out the signalmen was that he was afraid that the telephone would be destroyed or cut off, but because of good luck, he contacted all the troops under his control.
The US machine gun has always used the backward and traditional browning machine gun, but after this kind of weapon is deployed in a fixed position, it has no various shortcomings: its bulky body provides a continuous and stable fire output, and its ammunition chain supply is hundreds of times better than the various weird ammunition supply modes used by the Japanese machine gun.
So when the Japanese soldiers hobbled to the beach, the killing caused by the sudden firing of American machine gun made the Japanese soldiers pay a heavy price. The bullets rained down on the Japanese soldiers, and a torrent of metal flowed through them, bringing up a faint mist of blood.
"Attack A Japanese second lieutenant waved his command knife and encouraged the soldiers to march forward under the barrage of bullets, but soon he paid a heavy price for his recklessness. A stray bullet, which I don't know where, flew his hand waving a long knife. The second bullet flew his arm a long way.
The nightmare did not end. When he turned his head and looked at his right hand with only a bone left, a bullet flew again through his helmet from the back of his head, and the powerful penetration took away his eyes, nose and most of the facial bones. In the hysterical screams of the soldiers, the second lieutenant fell on the beach like a pool of mud.
Blood flows down the beach to the sea. It's a cruel hell for Japanese soldiers. They have never seen such fierce suppression firepower in China, in Southeast Asia, or anywhere else. Even their most elite division can't match the American soldiers on the opposite side in the density of ammunition.
In order to catch up with the huge gap in individual weapons of the German army, the Americans re purchased the weapons of their front-line troops, and the M1 garland automatic rifles began to be loaded in large quantities. For the Japanese bolt type rifles, this kind of weapon is simply comparable to the existence of submachine guns. What's more, the U.S. troops are equipped with carbines to narrow the firepower density gap with the German mp-44 assault rifles. After some efforts, the U.S. infantry ammunition pouring ability has been comparable to that of the elite German grenadiers. It seems that the U.S. troops are overqualified to deal with a large number of Japanese troops relying on bolt rifles.
In the trench, American soldiers with their weapons began to sweep their ammunition to the Japanese soldiers. These American soldiers have suffered a lot from the dense shelling attack just now. Now that Feng Shui has changed in turn, they naturally have to vent their anger to the enemy in their own way“ FireStarter! FireStarter! Aim as far as you can! You've got them under control! Aim for me, hit An American Sergeant squinted and yelled at his soldiers in the trench. But the American soldiers around him were ignored. These soldiers frantically pull their own trigger and shoot one bullet after another at the opposite crowd. Until they hear their rifles pop out of their clips and make a crisp click, they will squat down, take out the clips full of bullets from their pockets, knock them hard on their helmets twice, and then press them back into the bomb compartment. A Japanese soldier with a long rifle aimed at the opposite us position, pulled the trigger, and the bullet hit an American soldier accurately. However, the Japanese soldier was soon knocked down by the machine gun. Without even shouting, he spat out blood bubbles and died. More and more Japanese soldiers were shouting, chanting the slogan of God's blessing, carrying the 38S rifles with bayonets, frantically rushing to the defense positions of the United States. With the passage of time, the sea was gradually dyed red, and the Japanese were still charging madly. This time, they had all kinds of shelters, which were piled up layer by layer by Japanese corpses. Little by little, the corpses extended to the US positions. In some places, the distance between the two sides was very close. The Americans were frantically fighting back under the artillery of the Japanese warships, while the Japanese soldiers were frantically rushing to the beach under the cover of the naval guns“ Suddenly! Suddenly, suddenly On a machine gun position in the United States, the shooter is swinging the machine gun back and forth, shooting bullets at the enemy in the distance. Not far away from the trench connected with the machine gun position, Japanese soldiers have jumped into the trench with bayonets. Some American soldiers with shotguns and submachine guns opened fire fiercely, knocking down all the Japanese soldiers who had entered the trench. However, more Japanese soldiers rushed into the trench. An American officer ran out of bullets in his carbine, only to find that he had no time to install ammunition. So he took out his pistol and opened fire violently, overturning a Japanese soldier who was shouting at him. But behind him, another Japanese soldier jumped into the trench and hit the American officer in the back with one shot. The bullet passed through the front chest, and the American officer fell into the mud and let the Japanese soldier's big shoes step on his body. On the beach, a dozen Japanese soldiers finally carried a 92 heavy machine gun to the shore. This kind of heavy machine gun with a total weight of more than 110 kg, including the bracket, is definitely worthy of the name. Of course, compared with browning used by American soldiers, the performance of this Japanese "self-developed" machine gun can only be described in general. However, at this time, a heavy machine gun that can provide continuous fire support can help the Japanese marine corps with only 38 rifles to regain some self-confidence. As the co shooter kept stuffing the magazine with ammunition plates, the machine gun began to shoot out flames, suppressing the American machine gun position in the distance. With the cover of this machine gun, more Japanese weapons began to spread out on the beach, including the Japanese characteristic weapon grenade. This kind of weapon can be said to be a small mortar or a simple grenade launcher. In a word, this kind of weapon with a large number of equipment in Japan is very dangerous at some times. After two precise grenade throwing attacks, the US beachhead defense line was finally broken through, and groups of Japanese soldiers rushed towards the breakthrough. After three hours of fierce fighting between the two sides, the landing battle on lovely island continued.
