Chapter 2507: The Bloody Sea

"This is completely different from what we imagined. Before experiencing the real war, we had a good idea. The Browning heavy machine guns and mortars equipped in the company are used as long-range suppression firepower and are responsible for providing firepower from 1000 meters away. Support and then provide fire support with the infantry are the BAR shooters. They will become the backbone of our mobile firepower! Covering the infantry and engineers keep advancing. However, when we entered the battlefield, we found that all the plans could not keep up with the changes!"

"Browning is a good machine gun. In addition to the heavy weight and the longer time to replace the barrel, the other performance is very good. It is very stable and strong. If the barrel gets water, just take it out. You can shoot without deliberate cleaning, and show excellent stability in the face of ups and downs or vibrations on the beach. Together, these machine guns and 60MM mortars constitute the core of our long-range company firepower. However, what we are facing is With the Japanese Vickers water-cooled machine gun, the opponent does not need to change the barrel, and the firepower is more continuity. In long-distance combat, we can only guarantee a roughly tie."

"What's really terrible is that with firepower, the BAR machine gun can't exert its suppressive effect at all. Thanks to the terrible 20-round magazine, our shooter usually burns all the bullets in an instant! We can't effectively suppress those distant places. The firepower point, even with the English rattlesnake (the American name for the Lewis machine gun.) We are absolutely at a disadvantage when shooting," a US military officer wrote in a post-war report. However, talking about a few words is absolutely impossible to describe the depressed mood of the US military officers and soldiers on the battlefield during the division of war. They suffered ten times worse than the situation described!

"Now, try to collect all the MG machine guns, gather all the saddle-shaped drums, and give them to the offensive forces. The remaining personnel responsible for remote suppression use the chain. Also, tell everyone if they can find a semi-automatic rifle. Or the carbine, then just throw the spring rifle aside. These fire sticks should be thrown into the garbage dump of history!" Platoon Captain Hormann ordered them.

"Bob, didn't I ask you to find the company commander?" Homan said unexpectedly after seeing the personnel who had been sent out before returning with a few people. One of them he knew was a correspondent of the company.

"Boss, tell you a good news and a bad news." Bob said helplessly.

"There is still good news at this time?" Homan was very surprised.

"The good news is that you are our company commander now. The bad news is that our company commander has been killed, and there is only one correspondent left in the company." Bob pointed to the correspondent who followed.

"Well, lucky boy, now, immediately gather everyone together, and then we begin to lay out the line of defense." Homan ordered. After speaking, he picked up the engineer shovel in his hand without looking back and began to expand the trench around the crater.

"Sir, the above order is for us to attack." The correspondent said.

"However, the attack first needs to attack the position!" Homan said grimly. Just now, he briefly tapped the number of people, and the number of people left in his company was no more than 80 people. Before, it was a company of 139 people! Basically, it can be judged that the offensive ability is lost, the firepower outside is so fierce, and the engineers have suffered heavy losses. They can only clear shallow and deep mines and obstacles to a limited extent. Even if they do attack, they must wait for the tanks and reinforcements behind to come up. The companies that started rushing quickly have been crippled. It is estimated that if he continues at this rate, he can become a battalion commander tomorrow!

What to do when the situation cannot be opened? As a grass-roots officer who can't stay at the grass-roots level, he naturally finds a way to get down first! When the sky fell, there was naturally a high ceiling. As a grassroots officer, Homan just wanted to let the brothers around him survive!

The Americans have a back-up for this landing battle. They are naturally not naive. They really think that the battle can be ended with the bombardment of the naval gun and the infantry. It won't be like this! At least when the Germans attacked the Japanese army, tanks were indispensable. This was the most basic treatment for the Japanese army! Therefore, this time, after the first wave of landing troops gained a foothold, the second wave of tanks and armored vehicles is the most important weapon for the US military to crush the Japanese defense line!

At this time, a certain famous man in history was waiting anxiously for the first battle he commanded on a landing ship not far away!

"Guys, the cavalry of the United States of America will watch us for the first show. What you have to do is to follow the heavy tank platoon, protect our flanks, and then use your 75MM howitzer to take all the Japanese Just kill the people. Okay, do you understand? Just like what you did on the exercise field!" Lieutenant Colonel Patton's high voice echoed in the cabin of the tank landing ship. Historically, Patton was responsible for the formation of armored forces after the end of World War I, and on this plane, he brought the first American armored forces into actual combat! I have to say that good fortune is tricking people!

In addition to preparing a 400-ton tank landing craft, the Americans also specially developed a tank landing craft with a standard displacement of 1200 tons and a full displacement of 2200 tons. On the one hand, they can put a company of armored units in one place into a structure, and the tank will land. The way the ship entered the battlefield is very simple and rude, that is, directly rush to the beach, then open the hatch, and then the 17 tanks stored in it can be driven out along the pedals in front of the cabin!

Lieutenant Colonel Patton was responsible for commanding the first wave of the U.S. Army's armored units that rushed to the beach~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This time, the Americans invested 6 armored companies at once, and Patton will directly command 4 of them. Fight on the first landing field. The American armored company consists of two company vehicles and three armored platoons. Each armored platoon has five tanks. Each of the three platoons equipped on a tank landing ship is equipped with a heavy tank platoon. Wolf tanks imported from Germany, the other two are medium tank platoons, carrying T1 tanks produced by the Americans. The Americans' thinking is very simple. The main task of heavy tanks is to break through, while the T1 tanks behind are responsible for cover and output. After all, in the eyes of Americans, everyone is a 75MM artillery, and they should be similar in use!

At this landing site, there are 3 tank landing ships that need to flush. There is also an armor that was sent up using a landing craft. In addition, there are more than 20 armored vehicles and a large number of mechanized infantry that need to be sent to the beachfront with a landing craft. Judging from the scale and quantity, this wave of American offense is definitely full of sincerity! It has reached the level of a German armored battalion in terms of scale.
