Chapter 185: Gratitude (Second update, please subscribe)
On April 18, after a few days of simple training, the security forces began to form teams to cooperate with the US military in clearing out the remaining Japanese soldiers in the rainforest. , thus accumulating combat experience in the tropical rainforest.
"His grandma, it's finally my turn to wipe out the little devils..."
Rolling up his sleeves, Sun Chendong, an army colonel who was laid off last year, seemed a little excited. He could Aren't you excited? During the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, he led his brothers to fight guerrillas in the occupied areas for six years, hiding all day long while the Japanese invaded. Now it's finally his turn to suppress the little Japanese. How could he not be excited< br>
"Brother Haoran, you must not be careless. In the few days you have been here, you have also seen that the tropical rainforest is much more dangerous than the domestic mountain forests. I don’t know how many people died in the tropical rainforest when the expeditionary force entered Myanmar. Inside, the little devil is fighting a trapped beast, so it’s better to be careful!”
Lin An on the side reminded him, but also lowered his voice.
“Besides, this battle is related to whether we can stand in the garrison, so we must be careful!”
The other people who came to see him off all nodded,
>
They are all immigrants. When they came here, they discovered that the reason why people need them is just for their experience.
To be precise, they need experience in commanding large troops... The garrison force only has 7 regiments in total and 27 reinforced battalions. Why are there so many reinforced battalions?
Because there is no suitable leader. Commanding thousands of people to fight is completely different from hundreds of people, so we need to rely on their experience.
If you don’t perform well, it will definitely affect everyone.
Although they have won and lost in war games with German consultants in the past few days, this time it was an actual battle.
In response to everyone’s reminder, Sun Chendong just grinned and said.
“Look at how nervous you all are. When we were in China, we could compete with the Japs with the Hanyang-made ones. Now that we have cannons and chariots, how can we still be afraid of those lost dogs? ?”
But just half a day later, whether it was Sun Chendong or the other people in the army he led, they finally felt the difference in the tropical rainforest - there were trees everywhere, and everything was green, and the sight range was only Less than fifty or sixty meters.
“Damn it, why is this forest so dense!”
Being in the dense rainforest, Sun Chendong only felt an inexplicable nervousness, thinking that everyone was looking at him, It only made him deeply aware of the importance of the task he shouldered. He said to Hou Si and Zhang Ersheng beside him:
"The third company is on guard on the left wing, the second company is on guard on the left wing and rear, and the first company is under my personal command."
Like everyone else, Sun Chendong also Holding a carbine, he kept a close eye on the jungle on both sides. The sun shines down from the tree crown, and the branches and leaves of the jungle are black and white, making it look even more mysterious.
Second Lieutenant Hou Si touched the magazine box of the carbine with his hand, removed it and reinstalled it with a click. He held the short weapon with both hands and pointed the muzzle of the gun at the jungle. His state of mind was extremely complicated, and some of his emotions were classified as excitement,
"I can finally kill the Japanese..."
But where are the Japanese?
He held up the carbine in his hand and stared dully at the jungle in front of him. There is probably a Japanese machine gun in some kind of shadow in front. It is even more likely that there are a few Japanese soldiers lying in wait with one or two automatic weapons, waiting for an opportunity to strike coldly. Maybe as soon as you get to the front, you'll be hit by ten or twenty shots.
In this dark, boundless jungle, these hundreds of people are just small ideas moving along a line.
"According to what Instructor Charlie said, the battle in the rainforest was about. We kept hearing the sound of cannons and gunshots. Even when we heard the sound of gunshots and cannons, there was no cooperation at all. The rainforest cut the troops into pieces. In this way, you and I are all alone."
Listening to the words of the battalion commander He Tianmao, Sun Chendong nodded and said.
“Watching a battle in the rainforest, it’s just like at night. The key is the sight difference. By the way, what is the “Agent Orange” that Charlie is talking about? Can it make the forest disappear?”
"That was the boss's invention. The US military used it happily in the Pacific..."
Suddenly, a gunshot broke He Tianmao's words. It was a cold shot.
"Sniper!"
The sudden sound of gunfire caused everyone to lie down on the ground, looking for cover. At the same time, the snipers in the company holding sniper rifles were also looking for the enemy.
"Be careful not to expose yourself. The 38-inch gun has a long barrel. When shooting at night, you can almost watch the gunfire..."
Although I don't know what a sniper is, with many years of experience With combat experience, Sun Chendong still shouted to remind his brothers to be careful. At the same time, he stuck out half of his head to look for the target.
There was another burst of rapid gunfire. "Right ahead, there is a Japanese machine gun. Battalion Commander He immediately organized a group of people to go around and try to capture the Japanese machine gun..."
While holding the machine gun, Sun Chendong's eyes shone brightly. Years of experience told him that the machine gun is a good thing. A squad leader who can capture a machine gun can at least be promoted to a platoon leader.
"Sir Sun, artillery, we have artillery..."
He Tianmao reminded quickly.
"Use mortars to suppress it first, machine guns, we have more..."
This seemingly simple sentence made Sun Chendong stunned.
How many machine guns are there?
When did the machine gun... Just at this moment, the sound of gunfire came. I saw the brothers holding the carbine and shooting at the forest. The same was true for the machine gunner. For a while, bullets rained down. It’s like you don’t need money.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp..."
The sound of mortars piercing the sky overhead and the explosion in front made Sun Chendong understand that fighting here is different from that at home.
The sound of gunshots and explosions resounded in the rain forest.
The shells roared low above their heads, probably thousands of feet high, and Sun Chendong was stunned when he heard them. An MG42 machine gun fired in the distance, and there was rapid gunfire. The continuous gunfire was urgent and tight, like the sound of New Year's firecrackers.
"Why is this the way to fight this battle..." Patting his helmet, Sun Chendong felt as if he had been hit by a hammer. He had never thought that a battle could be fought like this.
Bullets and shells are pouring forward as if they are free of charge!
Yes!
Pour in basins!
There was also a machine gun on the little devil's side who fired back. The sound was shrill and the firepower was frighteningly weak.
Soon, under the fierce artillery fire, the Japs' machine guns became mute. The team of Japs were still resisting desperately. At this moment, a large ball of flame suddenly appeared in front of them, and a fire dragon appeared in front of the Japs. The left wing spurted out, and the fire swallowed up the rain forest in an instant. In the fire, the screams of the little devils were heard. The little devils who didn't know where they were hiding jumped out of the forest one by one. It's burning.
Then another fire dragon spewed out. It was the flamethrowers of the second company who were sweeping the battlefield with flamethrowers. Several fire dragons rushed through the rain forest, igniting one little devil after another.
When the little devil who was set on fire struggled to run out, some soldiers were about to shoot when Sun Chendong shouted.
"Don't shoot, don't shoot, burn these little devils to death!"
"Don't shoot..."
For a while, the rain forest was filled with shouts, but no one fired. Guns, everyone just watched helplessly as the little devils became like burning men, crying and shouting, watching the fire swallow them completely.
When the Pyroman fell down, everyone walked over, and Sun Chendong also walked over with his brothers, looking at the little devil under his feet who was burned like charcoal. He was already breathing out more and taking in less air. , under the burnt eyelids, the white and black eyes stared at them, and the burnt lips seemed to be saying something.
"You want me to give you a good time..."
Sun Chendong held the carbine and said to the little devil on the ground.
“On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month in the twenty-seventh year of the Republic of China, that day was Xiaonian. In Chen’s hometown of Heze, Shandong, the whole village of 367 people were locked in a house by you and set on fire. They were all burned..."
"On May 13th, thirty-five wounded soldiers of our unit fell into your hands. You little devils poured kerosene on them and started a fire..."< br>
"June 21st..."
When Sun Chendong poured out all the tragedies one by one, there were tears in the eyes of the brothers around him. Moving, they all seemed to remember the tragedies they had heard and seen.
"Burn, burn, if there is a chance, I will burn you bastards to death!"
While speaking, Sun Chendong even stepped on the little devil's charred body with his boots. The skin peeled off, revealing only a piece of bloody flesh...
