Judging from the clothing and equipment alone, the cadets of the 5th Brigade have many similarities with the US troops of the 114th Division. Helmets wrapped in camouflage cloth, camouflage uniforms, jungle combat boots, multi-functional field backpacks, automatic rifles... But the two The two armies are completely different. The American and Australian soldiers are generally taller than the cadets. However, because they have just suffered a defeat, they all have their heads lowered and their energy is obviously not as good as the cadets. They look taller than the cadets. More than a head shorter than the cadets, Wynn was sitting on a landing craft returning to the fleet. He looked at the cadets sitting quietly on another landing craft passing by. His face was gloomy, but he was thoughtful in his heart. , before the war started, he did not expect such a result, and when he received Jin's retreat order, he was unwilling to contradict it. One thing is certain, this retreat will also announce the end of his army. His career has come to an end, and he may have to work ten times or even a hundred times in the future without being able to make any improvement. Before this battle, he knew that the US military was not as good as the student army, but he couldn't figure out what the difference was. This made him not He was so convinced that he stubbornly believed that it was because the Chinese were very lucky. But now, feeling the murderous aura and strong self-confidence exuding from those ordinary students up close, he understood that it turned out that the U.S. military and the students were The gap between the soldiers and the army is so huge that the two sides are not at the same level at all.
Perhaps to comfort Wynn, Jin and Black personally welcomed him aboard the Huangdi aircraft carrier. Jin Bin comforted him and said: "It's just a failure, it's not a big deal. Now, look at what the Chinese do."
Wynn forced out a smile with difficulty, and then nodded. Surrounded by more than a dozen school-level officers, the three of them stood on the side of the bridge of the Huangdi aircraft carrier and silently watched the performance of the Fifth Brigade.
"Helicopter." A colonel suddenly exclaimed. Helicopters are still a rarity for Americans. Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw an aircraft carrier and several heavy cruisers taking off on the left side of the Huangdi aircraft carrier. Ten helicopters, each carrying a net bag full of equipment, slowly landed in an open space near the sea in the forward position. Then, they saw Gong Kaiqiao, the commander of the fifth brigade, walking over with a few people.
While Gong Kaiqiao and Fu Junyong, the commander of the helicopter unit, were immersed in discussing something, Jin pondered and asked Wynn: "Are the Chinese preparing to use helicopters to provide fire support? This should be no different from using bombers for bombing. "
Wynn thought for a while and then answered cautiously: "We are still not sure of the specific thoughts of the Chinese. If it is as you said, I don't think it will be of much use. We don't know at all how many Japanese troops are lurking in the unknown highlands. If the number is close to As for a regiment, I think even if the Chinese can win it, it will cost at least one brigade, and the fifth brigade should be the vanguard." Wynn had something he didn't say in his heart. He actually wanted to learn from If the Bingjun army can be defeated once, it is best if the casualties are larger. In that case, comparatively speaking, the defeat of the 114th Division will not be so sudden, and it seems that it can become an acceptable result.
No one spoke anymore, everyone was staring at the advancing position. Soon, Gong Kaiqiao solved the mystery for them with practical actions.
Without calling for naval gun fire support, a regiment of cadets launched a charge under the cover of about thirty tanks. They rushed to the exposed troop exit channel of the Japanese army without any danger, and then started a fierce battle with the Japanese army. During the battle for position, Wynn discovered a detail. During the charge, the trainees of the fifth brigade did not let the chariots rush first. Instead, they first used flamethrowers to spray the forward passage. Under the continuous spraying of flamethrowers, many mines and explosives laid by the Japanese army exploded one after another, and some hidden shooting holes and the Japanese shooters inside were burned to death without even a chance to fire. Seeing this, Wynn finally understood what happened to the sudden explosion that John's group encountered, and he couldn't help but regret it.
Yamashita Dotou took the initiative to expose a troop dispatch channel halfway up the mountain. His original intention was to set a trap for the Americans to escape. However, because the Japanese under his command overacted and the Americans were too inexperienced, they failed to trick the Americans into sneaking in. However, they failed to trick the Americans into sneaking in. The Americans were scared away. Now, the Chinese took the initiative to get in. Yamashita was very happy at first. However, after the shooting holes and pre-set mines and explosives under the troop dispatch channel were burned and burned one after another, he couldn't laugh anymore. It’s true that the Chinese were deceived, but they did enough preparations, but their previous painstaking ambush was ruined. Now, the troop dispatch channel is no longer a bait, but has truly become a cover. At that time, they didn't know that Gong Kaiqiao had other plans and had to mobilize troops from other places to participate in the defense. So, the two sides started fighting happily around the troop dispatch channel.
Gong Kaiqiao's actions not only successfully confused Yamashita Dufu, but also deceived Wynn and others.
Wynn and others saw the student army who had rushed to the troop dispatch channel allocating a large number of manpower to carry out civil engineering work, and said to Jin and Black in a serious manner: "It seems that Gong Kaiqiao and I want to go together, but the geographical advantage of the Japanese army is too great." It is clear that this will be a protracted war of attrition."
After Wynn finished speaking, the helicopters in the open space near the sea in the forward position were dispatched.
There are nine helicopters, three of which are Albatross transport helicopters and the others are Haidongqing armed helicopters. Each of the three transport helicopters carries more than ten cadets and hangs a net bag filled with oil drums on the six Haidongqing. They flew towards the top of the unknown highland under cover. As soon as they flew through the troop dispatch channel, they immediately attracted the intense attention of Dufu and Wynn at the foot of the mountain.
"The Chinese want to use fire to attack." Yamashita guessed Gong Kaiqiao's intention without any trouble, and the expression on his face immediately changed. At this time, most of the Japanese near the top of the mountain were moved to the vicinity of the troop dispatch channel, and the mountain channel It was not easy to move inside. He knew he had been fooled. He immediately called the Japanese near the top of the mountain to come out and snipe. At the same time, he led the military police who had been following him and rushed to the top of the mountain.
The Japs on the top of the mountain executed orders very quickly, but they had too few troops and lacked effective weapons to restrain the helicopters. Therefore, the battle on the top of the mountain fell into the rhythm of the Xuebing Army from the beginning. Occupying the top of the mountain,
At this point, no matter how stupid Jin, Blake and Wynn were, they still guessed Gong Kaiqiao's intention. The three of them looked at each other and said in unison: "Fire attack." Then Wynn slapped his face hard, annoyed. Said: "Why didn't I think of that?"
