This is a short and fierce encounter that can be recorded in historical records. None of the warring parties guessed the beginning or the ending, especially the final result, which made many military researchers feel a little incredible many years later.

The first one to charge forward and encounter the enemy was the E Company of the 3rd Battalion. Captain Cavendish led the way, wearing the same military uniform as ordinary soldiers, but the sign on the helmet was different. He was carrying a Thompson in his hand and an m1911a1 pistol on his waist, and a slanted kettle jingle like a kettle. The telescope on his chest was sweating for a long time, and it looked a little dirty.

When he rushed out of the low hilly valley road with his company and a platoon of soldiers, a ferocious wheeled chariot was suddenly standing at the height of their preset position!

Cavendish was a little stunned at the time. What is this situation? What about the preset position? What about the natural bunker that could have been fired at least one kilometer of open space from a high place? Where did he go? Also, where did this green and fancy steel monster pop out?! Could it be that the obstacle bunkers ahead are all false?

The situation is really weird!

According to the previous combat deployment, the US military knew that it might not be able to defend the beach, so they simply buried a large number of landmines in most of the two-kilometer-deep zone around the island, and built countless retreating blocking positions based on the natural terrain.

These positions were assigned to each battalion, and the signs were clearly marked on the combat field map. The company commanders of each company and even the platoon commanders below were completely familiar with each other. As soon as the battle started, they immediately rushed out of the hidden place, rushed in immediately, and condescending. The guards were on the dangerous side, watching how the other party passed through a minefield of hundreds of meters wide, and then rushed into their mortars and heavy machine gun blockade lines in the open area!

The preset positions chosen are very good. Behind them are complex mountain monuments, with lush vegetation and difficult to detect in aerial reconnaissance. Even if the opponent bombs with cannons and throws bombs in the air, there are natural obstructions such as rocks and trees to ensure the survival probability to the greatest extent. It is a great mess.

By the way, everything should be performed according to the script.

But the US military did not expect that the first one was not the armed forces landing from the beach on the sea, but the guys descending from the sky. They were steel infantry fighting vehicles!

The "Wolverine" infantry fighting vehicle that suddenly appeared in front of the captain missed the place when it landed and directly hit the remote frontier position. After walking down with the eight soldiers, they immediately knew that they had entered a preset fortification and a large minefield behind them. Damn it might not be able to get through!

They immediately used the radio to call the engineers to clear mines, and reminded their companions behind not to be fooled, and at the same time they were nervously alerting the surroundings.

These soldiers were all old foxes who had fought with the Japanese army. They participated in the offensive and defensive battles for Ryukyu Island, and for airborne safety, each of them only carried basic equipment, less than a base of ammunition, and did not even bring reinforcement plates. The tactical backpacks were all contained in the large umbrella bag, so they could not be taken at this time, so the offensive firepower seemed to be insufficient, and a temporary defense circle was directly formed with the infantry chariot as the center.

As soon as the posture was opened, Captain Cavendish rushed out, but before they could escape from the dense bushes, the infrared sensing radar of the infantry chariot discovered the target first. The firepower hand on the car roared towards the other side without saying a word, just a shot!

This distance is less than one hundred meters away! The 40mm grenade, which was fast and fast, swept across the captain's head, hitting a crooked tree about ten meters away behind him, and exploded with a loud bang, and the air wave pushed him hard from behind, and a few screams immediately rang out!

Three soldiers walking there were caught off guard and were blown up by the fragments. The two of them had several holes on their bodies and were thrust on the ground and were unable to survive. The other one was lucky. The helmet was knocked away by shrapnel and fell on the stone and was bleeding. If the bleeding was not stopped, it would probably end up.

Captain Cavendish felt his cheeks burning, and he rushed to the ground and wiped his back hand, which was a handful of blood. Looking at the waist and ribs, the kettle was penetrated by shrapnel. If it was a foot higher, it would definitely be a hole for him!

It's dangerous!

He is also a tried and tested veteran. Without saying a word, he raised his hand toward the direction of the infantry chariot and swept over with a shuttle bullet. At the same time, he shouted: "Enemy attack! All are lying down! Heavy machine guns come up, bazooka, fuck you, and kill him!"

No matter how many enemies there are in front, as long as they appear, they will use superior firepower to suppress them without saying a word. This is the key to the US military's combat.

The soldier holding the air-cooled heavy machine gun stumbled and pounced on the protruding stone less than five meters away from him, and turned around to greet the guy carrying the bracket... and suddenly found that that guy was one of the two unlucky guys killed by the shells!

Fortunately, the brother carrying the bullet was lucky. He covered his helmet with one hand and then threw it down. He hurriedly grabbed the bullet in and placed it on the raised saddle-shaped stone, aiming it at the infantry chariot and pulling the trigger!

It was only a minute to say, but in just a moment, the infantry fighting chariot on the opposite side had already made adjustments. The front of the car rubbed forward a few meters and slapped down to ensure that the weak bottom of the car would not be attacked from below. The muzzle was aimed at this side, aiming slightly, and another shot!

A stone on Captain Cavendish's left side exploded. The two soldiers hiding behind screamed and pounced out, but the pierced shells were broken into pieces. They were so big holes in their chests that they could not die anymore!

The rolling sand and dust rolled over the top of the head, and the vision in front of him was dizzy!

The machine gunner then pulled the trigger and fired more than a dozen bullets, and was slapped in countless gravel slashes. The smashing of the steel helmet slammed and exploded. His arms trembled, and the bullet flew to where it flew.

Two soldiers rushed up with the "Bazuka" rocket launcher, squinted their eyes in the sand and dust, aiming at the shadowy target. The ammunition behind them loaded neatly and stuffed the rocket in. They slapped the launcher's helmet, pulled the trigger, and a muffled sound, a large ball of smoke churned, and the warhead roared out of the chamber!

The captain of the infantry fighting chariot opposite screamed: "Rocket!"

The sound was not falling. The slender warhead dragged the rolling tail flames and swept through the side, rushed out dozens of meters thick and fell into the minefield, detonating two landmines, rumbling and rumbling to explode large areas of sand.

"This is a terrible head! Your uncle is so scared!"

In the infantry chariot, the captain patted his chest and complained. This was not a joke! They were not a thick-skinned tank. If they really gave that thing a moment, it would be tragic enough!

No, no, since the opponent has anti-armored weapons, he must not be exposed to the outside and seek excitement. Without saying a word, he immediately reversed and retreated into the bottom of the high slope, exposing the low turret outside, and gestured to the opposite side from the high place, especially the place where the flames rose, and two more guns were fiercely in a row!

Anti-armored weapons and so on are the most annoying!

The two cannons exploded next to the two teams of the rocket launcher. The shattered rocks and an unlucky tree provided a large number of debris and pollutants, and the obstruction of the view was chaotic.

The infantry chariot felt uneasy, and the heavy machine gun immediately opened fire and followed the rifle. Captain Cavendish could not raise his head at all!

The eight soldiers next to them gestded and found that it was not that far. The squad leader greeted him and fired a grenade first to try the fire. Taking advantage of the explosion, he spread out and rushed up and aimed at the dense bushes and shot them. He immediately caused a crazy counterattack from the US military. Bar's short shot and Galand's clanging sound were connected together!

Now I understood that the number of people opposite them was definitely not less than fifty! And they were fully equipped, and I guess the artillery can be shot in a little more time. They stayed there. There was definitely no good fruit!

"Roar over! Break them apart and talk!"

The squad leader made an immediate decision and gave the order. The infantry fighting chariot rushed out, and made an S-shaped arc around the high ground, rushing towards the US army from the side!

The people on Captain Cavendish had not yet fully entered the position, and it had already been very long to have such a reaction speed. Suddenly, the opponent started to move and immediately knew that something was wrong! The infantry fought against the armored soldiers, unless he had a lot of anti-armor weapons in his hand, but now, there was only one rocket launcher, and his head was so fucked. This matter might be difficult to deal with!

He was also a decisive person. When he thought that when he retreated in the face of the enemy, he might be chased by the opponent. He gritted his teeth and ordered the bazooka to continue to aim. He fired alternately with several automatic firepower, and called on several people to catch one, two, and three grenades and throw them together!

It should be that the captain's quality is first-class. For the US military that has not fought for many years, it is already very good to have such performance. Seven or eight grenades exploded one after another around the infantry fighting chariots, and shrapnel exploded continuously on the armored shell. However, the expected paralysis did not appear. Instead, the hideous front face crushed the bush and rushed down the mountain like a tiger. The dense heavy machine gun bullets swept several unexpected flank soldiers to the ground. The 40mm gun that kept firing during the marching created seven or eight explosion points, and even blocked the soldiers who were preparing to rush up to cover them tightly!

At this moment, eight infantrymen rushed up, and the assault rifles and general machine guns opened fire together. The 6mm bullets swept across the entire front like a rainstorm, knocking the five American troops who were frightened by infantry fighting chariots into sieves!

Captain Cavendish watched a soldier beside him pierced through his helmet and his head was blown off. He felt cold in his heart and secretly cursed the bastards above, claiming that the caliber of the Chinese guns was too small and insufficient. If you were to penetrate the helmet, is this insufficient?!

In fact, the US side obtained a secret test of the 6mm bomb loaded by the Zhu family army and found that the warhead of this small-caliber bomb was only 6.5g, and the total bullet weight was about half of the total power bomb, but the ballistics were more stable, the initial velocity was high, and the effective range could reach up to 800 meters. The kinetic energy was almost the same as the 7.62mm bomb they used or the 7.92mm bomb in Germany, causing the cavity effect, stop effect, and even better!

What does this mean? It goes without saying that after testing a variety of helmets, it proves that they can't stand it in front of such warheads. On the contrary, the number of bullets carried by the other party may be twice as many as their own. There will be many troubles when fighting this battle.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, this result was promoted by them. Even the unconformist contractors used nylon as the main material and a cheap bulletproof vest made of steel plates to claim that they could withstand such rifle bullets.

The American soldiers tried it themselves and seemed to be able to withstand the shooting of Browning M1911a1, which may be of some effect? ​​But such a tattered bulletproof vest is also expensive, not everyone can afford it, and most of them are fighting naked!

The frenzied strafing of eight automatic firepowers. One of the semi-automatic precision rifles had a slightly weak frequency, which did not damage the terrible density of their gathering fire. It suppressed the US military on the front, and a stomping chariot, plus them, formed two attack front lines. With a roar, it pounced through the rugged slope less than 100 meters in the middle, and pressed up!

Captain Cavendish knew at a glance that the situation was going to go! He turned around and called "Bazukka" to continue firing, but saw that the two guys had just fired a rocket and were knocked into rags by the machine gun in the middle. Then he bombed and exploded with one shot!

Under his hopeful gaze, the rocket hit the turret of the infantry tank with a "clang" and stuck on the fence armor without explosion!

The captain screamed in resentment: "Damn bastard!" He picked up Thompson and shot the magazine empty as if he was venting his anger. The moment he lowered his head to replace it, a bullet shot from the side into his waist, his whole body numb and fell!

The power of 6mm bullets is absolutely great! After being shot in, you can open a cavity larger than an adult fist in your body. The internal organs are tear down and bleeding under the shock wave. One bullet can make a strong soldier unable to move and stop it.

The infantry fighting chariot with a speed of more than 75 kilometers arrived in the blink of an eye, and unscrupulously crushed the crude defensive formation of many American troops in front of him. He swept around in circles, causing more than a dozen casualties. The remaining ten people were still behind, and they ran away when they saw that the situation was not good!

Eight soldiers rushed up while firing, and while shooting all the magazines, they also arrived at the place, panting and changing them, and then followed them forward for a moment!

They dare not stop! For the sake of airborne safety, they dare not bring too many powerful weapons, grenades, grenades, rocket barrels, etc. in the equipment box. There is only one bullet, and there is only one gun, carrying four, a total of 150 rounds. Plus three pistols, with such a combat speed, it is considered a savings to be able to last for half an hour.

In half an hour, how much can the other party rush up? It is impossible to calculate at all.

When they chased and raked the last magazine, an attack aircraft finally broke through the smoke and roared over the head, and opened fire along the valley. The thud and thud machine cannon bombs swept out a one-kilometer-long killer belt, then turned around over the minefield, cleared the field with rockets, and blasted out two temporary passages to welcome the rear company to cross over, and finally felt comfortable.

This short firefight was the first shot on the entire Kauai battlefield, but no one expected the result. The deployment preparation exposed by the US military and the fierce and madness of the airborne troops all gave both sides a new understanding of the battle.

From the entire battlefield, they seemed a little insignificant. The attack of the US 5th Regiment was hit by a big hole at the beginning, and the minefields became their effective defense. The pursuit of the parachute light armored troops was forced to be suspended, and then they turned to the rhythm of rocket mine removal.

After the firefight in less than half an hour, the US military retreated in a panic due to more than 200 casualties. Major General Van der Grift decisively stopped further expansion and gained a new understanding of the strength of the enemy.

"The situation is worse than we thought! Even without considering the abominable warships and aircraft, their armored infantry alone cannot easily overcome the firepower density! The reaction speed is too fast! The infantry cooperation is exquisite, and the power of various individual weapons is unexpected! General, I think we are in big trouble!"

Colonel Hollier came to a temporary conclusion with an extremely ugly expression.

Compared to the single-step combat chariots encountered by Captain Cavendish, the other front-on attacking troops were much worse. They encountered at least three joint combat units in groups, with vehicle-mounted heavy mortars and recoil-free cannons to provide curved and direct-fire support. Each infantry was wearing heavy armor, and he could not be penetrated regardless of whether he was shot in the helmet or torso!

What's even more fucking is that those guys riding strange motorcycles are wearing strange carapaces, which are very similar to the "Iron Man" who is rampant in the local area. They are not only invulnerable to swords and guns, but also wading like flat ground. The weapons and guns carried by individual soldiers are integrated, and even grenades can be thrown out a hundred meters away! They can directly rush through the minefield, and the speed is so fast that the explosion fragments behind cannot even destroy the body of the car and the armor on their bodies!

Especially when they were so excited that the thousand-man numbers, who were obviously not at the advantage, launched a counterattack on the spot without waiting for other airborne troops. They launched a reverse search attack from the defense zone to the entire island in units of companies and platoons!

"Can we stop it?! If the Chinese have all such equipment, this battle cannot be fought!"

The Major General couldn't help but complain that they could not concentrate a division from the mountains and ridges and siege the troops that were less than a single regiment, right? You must know that most of the beaches on the island can be landed or landed, especially the Hanale Beach in the north. The original airport was blown up, so the other party's construction machinery capabilities were only a matter of half a day and they could not be discarded!

Once the other party starts searching the mountain, they cannot hide at all. Once the landing field is opened and expanded, a steady stream of airborne troops can drown them.

Van der Grift gritted his teeth and made a quick decision: "Contact the Army, don't hide anymore, come out and try to fight the Chinese as much as possible!"
Chapter completed!
