Chapter 262 Counterguerrilla War
In the early morning light, the US military station suddenly became chaotic.
"Sir, something happened! Come with me!" Jima pushed He Chi's tent away in a panic, pulled him up and walked out.
He Chi was trotted to the health center by Jima. As soon as he opened the door curtain, a strong smell of blood hit his face.
"Ah! Damn it!! Damn it!! My hand!! My hand!!!" A major, half covered in blood, groaned loudly on the stretcher, and his facial features were tangled together in pain. It looks very scary.
"Joy Rockwell? How could it be like this?" He Chi discovered at this moment that the other party was actually a major commander under Edson, and he had led his people to complete the recent harassment mission.
He Chi quickly walked over and held down the already somewhat abnormal major with his hands, but at this time the injured person on the opposite side could no longer communicate normally.
He Chi stretched out his hand to stop the medical soldiers on the side and shouted
"Some people, hold him down! Change me into surgical clothes and prepare morphine!"
"A big Unit-measured anesthesia! Disinfect scalpels and hemostats! ”
"What are you doing standing still! Take action!"
Seeing someone taking the initiative to take command, these rookies who were frightened by the unexpected incident restored order, and everyone began to do their own thing. job.
Unconsciously, He Chi had established enough prestige among these American troops.
Major Rockwell slowly regained his composure with the help of anesthesia, and He Chi began to perform surgery in the enclosed white curtain.
Jima stood on tiptoes outside and kept looking in. Soon a group of US military officers stood around her, and they were all anxiously paying attention to the situation inside.
When Major General Vandergrift came in, He Chi was walking out holding up his blood-stained gloves.
"Observe for a week and pay attention to the use of penicillin. If no infection occurs, there is no danger to life." This was the first sentence He Chi said, but then he changed his tone, "But his All the fingers on my right hand were necrotic and had to be amputated. In the future, he may not be able to work."
Everyone, including the major general, fell silent. A soldier who loses his right hand that can shoot will have many inconveniences in his future life, Rock. Major Weir's future may be entirely gray.
Major General Vandergrift quietly pulled He Chi aside, "He, when will Joey wake up?"
He understood what the other party meant, "If everything goes well, , I should be able to wake up tonight. Do you want to talk to him?”
The major general nodded, "Yes, Joey took a platoon, but only two of them withdrew, and the other one didn't even last until you came. We need to know what they met."
" Okay, I'll see if I can do anything." He Chi sighed, "But you have to be prepared to be unable to communicate. God knows what Joey's mental state will be when he knows the condition of his hand."
"It depends on luck." Major General Vandergrift shook his head and then walked out of the tent.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, Major Rockwell woke up. Unexpectedly, when he learned that his right hand was disabled, the major only appeared slightly panicked at first, and then quickly calmed down. Come down.
"Sorry, Joey, I know you need to rest at this time, but we need to know what happened." The major general sat next to Major Rockwell apologetically.
"Sir, it doesn't have to be like this. My godfather once told me [Don't complain that you don't have shoes, because some people don't have feet]. Maybe I am much luckier than my dead companions." Then the major began to tell about himself. experience.
“Our attack started very smoothly, just like when Colonel He He led us. We killed three sentries in one day and destroyed a small water purification plant. Storage area.”
“But the Japanese have dug many strange trenches in the military camp since the day before yesterday. The nearby water sources are connected to various parts of the camp. As long as there is a fire, the Japanese soldiers will go along the ditch to get water. It is difficult for us to cause harm to these Japanese."
"They also set up barbed wire fences. It blocked most of the roads leading to the camp and divided the military camp into areas. ”
"There are new small wooden buildings built at intervals around the camp. The entire camp is separated by these wooden buildings. There are soldiers inside guarding the area 24 hours a day. It is difficult for our people to get a chance."
< br>Hear the Major's description , Hechi had a feeling of déjà vu, and he whispered softly, "Trench warfare, blockade defense, those small wooden buildings are... simplified versions of gun towers?"
"He, what did you say?" Vanderge Major General Rift asked from the sidelines.
"No, it's nothing, I just remembered some things from the past, please continue." He Chi shook his head and turned his attention to Rockwell again.
"We didn't find a chance. We originally planned to evacuate, but when we were about to leave, we found that the Japanese were building a large warehouse, and it was quite close to us..." the major said softly.
He Chida took over the other party's words, "You found that the defense of this warehouse was very lax. You were about to do something big before leaving, and then you were ambushed?"
"Yes." The major fell into the memories of that time. "When when we rush over , and found that explosives were buried inside. My hand was blown off at that time. Some soldiers were killed on the spot, and the remaining unconscious ones were stabbed with bayonets..."
"I understand. ." He Chi took a deep breath and stood up. "The Japanese army should have received reinforcements, and the person in charge is definitely not Kawaguchi Masahisa."
"Why?"
"General, I am Chinese, and this kind of anti-guerrilla tactics is in my The flower of the motherland The Japanese army often used trenches, barbed wire and fixed small bunkers to divide the territory, not giving the guerrillas the opportunity to move flexibly. At the same time, the Japanese army also used some disguised targets to lure the guerrillas to the bait. "
"This tactic requires a lot of manpower to promote, and it is definitely not something that Kawaguchi Masahisa's thousands of remnant troops can do, so the Japanese must have received a lot of reinforcements."
"Also, this kind of warfare The law is only spread among officers on the East Asian battlefield. Currently, there is only one qualified senior commander in the 17th Army. "
He Chi spit out a name from his mouth: "17th Army Division. Commander Hyakutake Harukichi, he went to the island in person."
"This guy?" He Chi's analysis surprised Major General Vandergrift. He turned around and prepared to go out. "I'll report it to the Pacific Command right away. Send a report for confirmation."
"Probably no need," He Chi stopped the major general and said, "If it is really that guy, maybe he should take action immediately."
Boom! ! Boom! ! ! Boom! ! !
As soon as He Chi finished speaking, there was the sound of shelling outside, and then the sound of mortar bombs exploding in the military camp.
