Chapter 298:Failed Counterattack

The bloody battle in Guadalcanal opened, and the fighting in the early hours of the morning was only the beginning.

The sky had just brightened, and a joint Japanese army, under the command and leadership of the joint captain, was ready to launch another attack on the Red Police Force.

In the view of the Japanese, even if the enemy landed, it was impossible to send enough troops to the island, and it was less than 3,000 people.

However, the Red Guards Marine Corps 1st Division, with more than 16,000 men, and after last night's preparation, five rhino tanks were ready to operate on the island in preparation for the capture of the island's airport.

At noon that day, a large team of the Mitsubishi United rushed directly to the landing field of Guadalcanal in the 1st Division.

In the area close to the battle, there was no resistance, as if there were no enemies at all.

In front of the brigade, a reconnaissance team of thirty or forty men advanced westward.Coincidentally, the Marines on Guadalcanal also sent a reconnaissance unit to the east, and two reconnaissance teams soon encountered it.

When suddenly ambushed, the Japanese reconnaissance detachment was killed on the spot with 31 people, and only three people managed to escape.

In the presence of these Japanese scouts, something interesting was found, indicating that the Japanese garrison still did not want to drive the landing troops out of the sea.

The Marines' 1st Division soon made tactical arrangements and adjustments.

Take-off reconnaissance aircraft, search for areas where the main Japanese forces may be massed, and once found, immediately carry out air strikes.

Armored vehicles and rhinoceros tanks were fully prepared to maintain mobile support on all fronts.

The commanders quickly returned to the troops and immediately began preparations.

That night, the three-wooden team was in a coconut forest to make the final preparations before the attack.

The coconut grove is located on the east bank of a small river with a slow velocity, almost two kilometers from the landing site.

Through the moonlight, a wooden saw a long barbed wire fence pulled on the Red Guard Empire position on the east coast, but did not see the Red Guards.

Listen to me, and there is no unusual movement.He thought that the enemy did not send a guard, and could achieve his goal with surprise attacks, so he did not bring artillery.

In the early hours of the morning, a white signal bomb illuminated the night sky.

At about the same time, countless Japanese soldiers suddenly poured out of the trees.They were covered with white cloth on their heads, and they rushed to the sandbank with a clear bayonet.

The Japanese soldiers who shouted "Long live", shooting while running and throwing grenades, almost filled the entire mouth of the river.

Running in the front is the captain of the squadrons, the officers barefoot, holding the command knife, the first rushed across the Tenru River.

The Japanese army's every move was clearly seen by the commander of the Marine Assault Battalion lurking on the other side.He reminded his men that they would let the enemy come closer and fight again, and there was no order not to shoot.

He saw two waves approaching the dyke before and after the Japanese division, so he ordered the gunners of the 37 mm field guns on the position to aim at the middle of the dyke, and immediately blew up the dyke after the first wave of Japanese troops passed, cut off the retreat of the first wave of enemies, and prevented the second wave from continuing to pass.

300 Japanese death squadron rushed up the sand embankment, and the officers in front saw no resistance, so they loudly urged the back to speed up the pace.The follow-up troops followed the coconut grove and filled the entire estuaries.

The time has come for Zeng to take down a Japanese officer wielding a command knife and loudly ordering: "Fire!"

In an instant, gunfire at the Marine Corps position jumped, and the light and heavy machine guns, like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, knocked down dozens of Japanese death squads.

When Mr. Mitsuo saw this situation, he immediately ordered fire cover.Dozens of light and heavy machine guns spitted out the tongue of fire, and bullets threw water at the opposite side.

The Red Guards were so fierce that the Japanese did not back down.They shouted, “Hold on!”

While running, they shot and threw grenades, and the sound of the explosion of "bombing and rumbling" shook the night sky.

Japanese officers stepped on the bodies of the fallen Japanese wounded and soldiers, held up their sabres, and rushed to the front.The Japanese army in the front has crossed the sand embankment, only ten meters from the position of the Red Guard Corps.

He yelled, “Throw a grenade!”

Then he threw a grenade.The grenade fell in the middle of the dozen Japanese troops in front, and with a loud noise, the Japanese army fell.

The Marines followed the bombs, and one grenade after another fell on the pile of people who rushed up, bursting with a burst of fire, and a large number of Japanese death squads were bombed to the ground, groaning and groaning.

When the second wave of Japanese troops rushed to the center of the sandbank, the 37th artillery of the Red Guards fired.One shell after another exploded, and the seven and eight places on the sandbank were filled with the bodies of Japanese soldiers.

This small-caliber gun is a weapon of jungle warfare and the best protagonist of this island landing operation.Easy to carry transfer, disassembly and install in the jungle, fast transportation, can attack, can support the battle, if necessary, can also fight rhino tank.

Through the flash of the shell explosion, the river of the Tenaru River has turned red.

The Japanese army in front of the line stopped, and the Japanese army behind it rushed up again, and the Japanese troops gathered together were confused and confused.

He lost the opportunity to concentrate his firepower and strafed the Japanese forces before the position.The gunners do not have to aim, and they can defeat piles of enemies at will.

Finally, the Japanese army could not eat hard, leaving the dead and wounded people retreated like a tide, and the wounded soldiers who could not escape issued a desperate cry and scolded the Japanese soldiers who abandoned them.Some desperate Japanese soldiers rang the grenades on their bodies and committed suicide in front of the battle.

A Japanese commander killed several deposed soldiers with a war knife, and the other insurers turned their heads and rushed to the Red Guards.

A small number of Japanese troops who rushed into the foxing pits of the Red Police Corps did not retreat until they died, and they used grenades to blow up the fire points of the Red Police soldiers and frequently shot the red police soldiers around them.

The follow-up echelon of the Japanese army took the opportunity to rush up to Shati and launch a more violent charge.

The three wooden bigs standing motionless with the telescope, and let the bullet "tweet" crossed.Seeing that the impact from the sand embankment was very difficult, he ordered God to lead his squadron to cross the river to the upper Tenru River and respond to the attack from the flanks.

Due to the rapid flow of water, a squadron of Japanese troops drowned more than a dozen people while crossing the river.

But the tragedy is still behind.

After seeing the Japanese squadron of the river moving upstream, the headquarters of the Marine Corps also sent a force to move parallel to them.After discovering that they had crossed the river, they were immediately ready to "hunt" on the other side.

The soldiers of the Japanese squadron of the river had not yet climbed up the shore with rifles on their heads, and a fierce bullet was fired on the face, and the gunshots were bursting into one piece, and many soldiers had not yet come and shot, and fell on the shore.

Under the fierce fire blockade of the red police soldiers, the Japanese soldiers could not lift their heads at all, and one by one lay on the ground to avoid the rain.

Sanmu Dazo's plan to attack the Red Police Corps positions from the upstream was bankrupt, and he paid a heavy price.

Now he had to put his hopes on the attack from the sandbank.

Under the cover of the Japanese army that infiltrated the foxhole, the Japanese follow-up echelon broke through the sand embankment, drilled through the blown-up barbed wire, and captured some of the trenches left by the Red Guards after the retreat.

Seeing the impact troops from the Red Guard Corps positions to play the signal that "we have captured the enemy's forward positions", Sanmu Dasuo Daxie.

It's just that Mimu doesn't know, he's too happy too soon.

The assault camp, which was hidden on standby again, used thirty-seven guns and opened heavy fire.The sandbank was cut off from the middle of the fire, and the Japanese follow-up echelon was sealed on the other side of the border.

Marines at the front positions took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and they fiercely competed with the Japanese for every inch of land.

Under the fierce impact of the Red Guards, the Japanese army was forced to withdraw from all lines.

The entire fierce battle lasted until dawn the next day, and the Red Guard Marines raided the battalion, consolidating the forward positions.

As the Red Guards fought fiercely with the Japanese over the Tenaru River, bombers from Australia took off at dawn and were about to arrive on the battlefield.

The day has just come out, and the carrier-based aircraft has a wave of liftoff.

After reaching the area of battle, the Red Guard pilots began to show their strength.The aerial bomb fell on the sandbank and the east bank of the Tenaru River, killing the Japanese and not dying.

Immediately after, the Marines of the Red Police Corps launched a full-line counterattack, and the soldiers of the Red Police Corps with blood were covered with blood, rushing down the river beach like tigers down the mountain, like a broken bamboo.

The Japanese could not support it and retreated.The desperate soldiers jumped off the Tenru River and wanted to swim to escape, and soon became the target of the Red Police Corps, and the river was full of corpses.

The Japanese attack failed.Mimu Dazo had to collect the remnants of the defeated soldiers and retreat into the coconut forest to avoid the bombing of the Red Police aircraft.

It was quiet on the battlefield.But the Marines weren’t in a relaxed mood.Everyone knows that the Japanese army hiding on the opposite shore is by no means idle, and from their attack it can be seen that this is a gang of outlaws.They will not be happy after the initial failure.

Dealing with such an enemy, if not completely eliminated, will be quiet here, and it may even cause heavy losses to the troops.

The First Division of the Marines immediately decided to cleanly and completely destroy all the Japanese forces on the eastern bank of the Tenaru River, and none of them could escape.

To this end, five rhino tanks were assigned to Zeng Fanyi's assault battalion to strengthen his offensive force against the Japanese army from the front.

At the same time, another battalion of the First Army Division, wading across the river from the upper Tenaru River about a kilometer away, roundabout back to the back of the Japanese army, blocking their retreat.

After thorough preparation, the Red Guards launched a full-scale counter-offensive in the afternoon.

It was clear after the rain.Twelve intruder bombers from the amphibious assault ship first carried out air strikes on Japanese positions.

The intruder bombers hovered unceremoniously dived and dropped bombs on the palm trees.The sound of the explosion came and went, and the smoke of the rolling smoke filled the mouth of the Tenaru River.

While the aircraft bombed, the Red Guard Corps' rhino tank guns and thirty-seven guns opened heavy fire.The shells fell on one after another on the Japanese position, blown up branches and plots of land, and from time to time the broken arms of Japanese soldiers were thrown into the air.

The rhinoceros tank that pressed directly over the coconut groves, forced to open an offensive avenue.

The defeat of the Mimu Dazo will be crushed to hold the position, and some Japanese soldiers were stunned by the bombing and panicked to jump out of the trenches and retreat to the coconut forest.

The soldiers who were in command of the resistance saw the soldiers running away, shouted in anger, and pulled out their pistols and killed several deserters in a row.

However, this kind of deterrence and attack did not help, and under the attack of tanks, the resistance became futile.

At this time, another unit had returned to the back of the Japanese army and suddenly launched a charge from the back of the Japanese army.

The soldiers of the Red Guards rushed out of the coconut forest like hungry tigers, killing the sound of the field, which was unstoppable.

Zeng Fanyi commanded five rhino tanks to launch the attack from the front.The rhinoceros tank "rumbled" and rushed up to the sandbank, pressing through a pile of Japanese corpses and driving straight to the east coast.

The Marines followed closely behind the rhinoceros tank and lashed forward in a tidal wave.As the rhino tank advanced, the soldiers of the Red Guards jumped out of the trench and followed the rhinoceros tank across the sand embankment.

At dusk, the Japanese tried to break out to the southwest.

Five rhinoceros tanks over the sandbanks rushed towards the coconut grove, and the howitzers were deafening from the 105 mm guns on the rhinoceros tank.

Rhino tanks toppled palm trees, killed Japanese snipers, and crushed the Japanese army, until the rhinoceros looked like a “meat-cuff.”

Under the iron barrel of the Red Police Corps, the Japanese soldiers in the coconut forest were everywhere.Wherever the rhino tank passed, the track crushed the Japanese corpses and blurred them with blood and blood.

The Japanese first land attack was completely defeated.

When Baiwu Qingji learned that the three-wood wing was almost completely destroyed, and even the three-muth was broken, it was naturally very shocked.

In his view, the enemy who landed on Guadalcanal, without sufficient air support, did not have a large number of tanks and armored vehicles on the ground, and should not have the advantage in the face of almost the same Japanese imperial soldiers.

But the result of the fact, let him quickly realize that he seemed too naive.

But Bai Wu Qingji did not know that his troops performance has been quite amazing, although the Red Police Marine Corps all annivers his a united team, but their own casualties are also many, the war loss rate reached the highest once after coming to this world.

Although he was already familiar with the enemies of Samurai, the Red Guards still underestimated the Japanese opponent.

Although it is still defeated by a huge advantage, the casualties that have been paid for in themselves are very worth pondering.

However, after this war, Baiwu Qingji also gave up the idea of active attack and began to prepare for the guerrilla warfare he had learned from Shenzhou, and it was a jungle guerrilla war that had been improved by him.

And this is the battle, so that all the red police soldiers, all clearly aware of the opponent, put the enemy in the position of the enemy.
