Chapter 186 Making Favors (Third update, please subscribe)
In the following days, each battalion will mobilize personnel to form a company and enter the rainforest to search for remnants of the enemy. Each time they will strike hard, that is They used heavy troops and heavy firepower to carry out devastating suppression on a small group of Japanese troops, and even deliberately did not enter the rainforest destroyed by Agent Orange to gain experience in rainforest combat. Even if the battle was not intense, the soldiers still gained some combat experience.
This kind of combat method is based on the experience of self-defense counterattack in another world that Li Yian learned from. It is to conduct a round-robin battle, with at least two people assigned to each squad to ensure that each squad will have a certain amount of rainforest combat in the future. Experience instead of going to the battlefield confused. It can be said that Zamboanga is the training ground for the security forces.
It was through the combat experience gained in the rainforest that Li Yian and the security forces understood that large-scale division-level operations were difficult to implement in the rainforest, and would even affect the performance of combat effectiveness. In comparison, battalion-level operations are easier to implement and more flexible, but battalion-level troops need to be strengthened. From personnel to firepower, especially firepower, all need to be further strengthened.
In the eyes of a group of domestic captain officers, the strengthened firepower of the infantry battalion of the security force has even exceeded that of a domestic division. At least no domestic division will be equipped with 4 75mm mountain guns, 4 81mm mortars and 13 60mm mortars. In addition, there are even 3 additional reinforced 120mm mortars.
Such powerful firepower is second to none even on the Pacific battlefield. The reason why there are no anti-tank guns is that the security forces seized a large number of German happy sticks - Panzerfaust anti-tank rockets. There were not only hundreds of thousands of Panzerfaust 60s, but even tens of thousands of Panzerfaust 100s. Because of this, the 37mm anti-tank guns provided by the US military were useless at all, and even accounted for the establishment. Li Yian gave them to the country. For the country, the 37mm anti-tank guns are still very useful. Especially for the troops behind enemy lines in North China, it is just right to use it to hit artillery towers.
Although the quantity is not much, it is still a little thought!
While the troops were being reorganized and undergoing rotation training, Li Yian once again came to the U.S. Army Air Force Airport in Zamboanga. What was he doing here?
Gift-giving!
As the saying goes, it’s not strange to have too many people. In the future, the security forces will be unable to operate without the support of the Army Aviation. It is naturally necessary to establish a good relationship in advance.
What is etiquette?
Two truckloads of beer!
Cordon Bleu.
No problem if there is no ice. As a pilot, put the beer in the auxiliary fuel tank and fly it around at a high altitude to ensure that it becomes ice cold immediately.
Two trucks of beer immediately created a relationship between the two parties, but what really came close to the relationship between the two parties was not the beer, but... Agent Orange.
"Thank you!"
A bottle of cold beer that was carried by the B25 and flew around 10,000 meters high and then down again was thrown into Li Yian's hand. Colonel Jack, the commander of the 75th Army Aviation Wing, looked at him and said.
"Thank you for saving so many young men!"
While speaking, he pointed to the dozen or so B24s outside.
"Did you see it? The C110 spreader is specially used to spray Agent Orange. In the past, as long as the Japanese invaded the rainforest, they were the ghosts in the rainforest. Many casualties of the Marine Corps and Army young men were in In the rain forest, the rain forest is the devil, but it is different now..."
Colonel Jack said with a smile.
“Now we will spray Agent Orange in the areas where the Japanese troops appear. If it doesn’t work once, we will spray it twice. If two times doesn’t work, we will spray it three times. It only takes a few days to turn the dense rainforest into a wasteland and uproot it. There is no grass, the Japanese devils are all exposed, the rain forest is no longer their protective umbrella, but a reminder!"
Then the colonel said specifically.
“My nephew is in the Marine Corps. He said that Agent Orange was God’s invention. Many people live because of it. He even decided to call it “Agent Orange” when he has children in the future.”
Faced with such thanks, Li Yian suddenly felt a little guilty... As long as your nephew doesn't hate me in the future, whether he has children or not is another matter.
This is such an innocent child!
With this thought in mind, Li Yian reminded him again.
“Colonel, Agent Orange is not a perfect and non-toxic agent. It is a chemical agent that will inevitably cause certain harm to the human body. If it is used, try to avoid your own people. After all, chemical agents are , there will inevitably be some toxicity."
Faced with the reminder, Colonel Jack waved his hand.
“You’re too worried. For the boys, the most important thing is to go back alive, return home, and return to your family. Of course, we will definitely avoid our own people, to a certain extent. , and, if it is harmful, it is even more toxic to the Japanese devils, I heard..." After taking a sip of beer and leaning forward slightly, Colonel Jack said.
“In Luzon, because Yamashita Fengwen dispatched hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops to the rainforest for guerrilla warfare, Mike ordered that all forests where Japanese troops were active should be turned into wasteland. He has applied for 100,000 tons of Agent Orange, soon, the area where Yamashita Fengfumi and his troops are operating will turn into a bare barren mountain, with no place to hide..."
100,000 tons!
Mike is such a generous person!
Thinking of the harm Agent Orange can do to the human body, Li Yian couldn't help but smile.
It’s all sprinkled on Xiaozhi, which is a good thing!
Even if you don’t die in the war and live on, the damage to your body will be permanent in the future. Where can I find such good things?
As for the damage to the land... I can only sympathize with the people of Luzon. This can only be said to be their reward for welcoming the Japanese occupation!
"By the way, you are going to enter Borneo soon. Do you need us to cast it in the action area?" Jack said kindly.
"I have about 500 tons of inventory at this time. If you need it, I can probably give you 200 tons. You know, this thing is really popular now. It is needed in almost all battlefields. It, I even heard that the troops there also want to use it in Okinawa. After all, there are also woods in Okinawa.”
Jack's enthusiasm shocked Li Yian, and he said quickly.
“Oh, I understand this, but Borneo is too big, only one or two hundred tons, and it has no effect at all. If the troops develop dependence, without it, they will still have to fight in the rainforest. So, forget about Agent Orange, but I need incendiary bombs!"
After rejecting Agent Orange, Li Yian emphasized specifically.
“I need incendiary bombs to ignite the rainforest. As for the rainforest, incendiary bombs are definitely more effective than bomb fragments.”
Li Yian doesn’t know whether the incendiary bombs are effective or not. , but one thing that is certain is that during the Vietnam War, the US military used a large number of incendiary bombs. If the effect was not good, they would definitely not use them. If it is easy to use, then use them.
"Incendiary bombs?"
Hearing this, Jack shrugged his shoulders and said.
“I don’t have a single incendiary bomb in my hand right now. Li Mei is the guy who burned down Tokyo. He took away all the incendiary bombs in the entire Pacific theater and didn’t give even one. We stayed. Not only that, he even snatched the shells of chemical bombs and filled them with napalm. In short, he wanted to ignite the whole of Japan. Now, all the incendiary bombs belong to him."
Jack's words stunned Li Yi'an, and his expression became a little complicated. He almost forgot about that guy Li Mei. He is currently burning Zhenghuan in Tokyo. It is almost impossible to fish out the incendiary bomb from his hand.
Compared to burning Japs on the battlefield, Li Mei prefers to burn cities in Japan. Since they are burned, the most important thing for a family is to be neat and tidy, with many acquaintances and a beautiful family.
Although the requirement for incendiary bombs was not met, through two trucks of beer, Li Yian successfully obtained a guarantee that no matter when there is a need, they will send support as soon as possible to ensure that the most bombs are thrown to the little devils. on the head.
Come on, if you can’t have a barbecue, you can’t have a barbecue. With this promise, it’s okay!
