Emergency Doctor Mercenary Road Chapter 59

   Chapter 59 Shattered Peace Flags

  The sound of gunfire gradually stopped, Lu Fei and Douglas whispered for a while, and returned to the frontal battlefield with the two reconnaissance squad members. Put on the thick-soled boots that were processed before, and a thick iron sheet was tied to the sole. The three quietly touched the enemy's lying corpse. Lu Fei was in charge of rushing forward, holding the flying knife in his hand, if any half-dead Japanese devil moved, he would just throw a flying knife over, and the three of them stepped on a lot of iron nails, and they all broke or stepped on them one by one. silently to the shore.

  Three people used endless flares to see that the enemy had returned to the other side, but the Japanese army did not retreat, and established a defensive position on the other side to confront the US military. Two scouts began recording coordinates and bearings. Lu Fei raised the infrared telescope and carefully observed the Japanese army's deployment and numbers.

  10 minutes later, the three returned to the position. At this time, the division commander and the regiment commander came to the position. They were praising the soldiers loudly and boosting morale. Lu Fei and two investigators stepped forward and reported to him.

"Division commander, regiment commander, the Japanese army did not retreat into the dense forest. They established a defensive position on the other side of the river and wanted to continue to resist. After careful reconnaissance, we found that there were about 400 Japanese devils, no artillery and armored troops, and no follow-up. Troops. I have an immature little suggestion that I don't know if I should say it or not."

   "Every time your ideas are quite mature and big, you should stop being humble and talk straight." Teacher Vandergrift said impatiently.

"Now is a great opportunity to completely wipe out the enemy, and to follow the defeated soldiers in pursuit, and sweep away the soldiers left behind at the landing site of the Japanese devils. We are not forced to cross the river here, we only need to cross the river upstream of the Tenaru River. Go, use light tanks or armor to lead, attack from the enemy's side and back, and then follow the defeated soldiers to pursue, hehe." Lu Fei smiled slyly.

   "That's what I planned, but I think it's more appropriate to act after dawn. How many troops do you think is appropriate?" Division Commander Vandergrift said after thinking.

"I suggest that the first battalion be dispatched, followed by 8-10 Stewart light tanks or light armored vehicles. As soon as the day dawns, it will start to advance behind the Japanese army's side, and lurking about 500 meters before reaching the Japanese army's position. wheel, and then strike again, and send them to God with ease."

  The commander nodded. Although it is a bit exaggerated to deal with 400 Japanese devils in an integrated sea, land and air battle, isn't the bullet gasoline made for the Americans? Human life is the most important, no matter how many, let's talk about it first.

  Lu Fei volunteered to follow a battalion and an armored tank team, and rushed to 2 kilometers upstream of the Tenaru River. The U.S. military arrived at the designated location at about 5:00. This section of the riverbed is almost exposed, and the river water is only about 20-30 centimeters high. All the crew waded across the river, and there was no problem with tanks and armored crossing the river. The large force crossed the river without making any sound, passed through the coconut forest, and detoured to the side of the Japanese army position.

   Around 7:30 in the morning, the counterattack force led by Battalion Commander Anderson was fully lurking in place. Communicate with the call of the wireless intercoms on both sides. At 8 o'clock, the U.S. military positions in front of the Japanese army suddenly fired in unison. 105mm towed artillery, M7 self-propelled howitzers, and various types of mortars spoke one by one, and carried out a half-hour intensive bombardment. The F4F "Wildcat" fighter jets and SBD "Dreadnought" dive bombers of the clan aviation were also instructed to take off and strafed the beach occupied by the Ichiki detachment. Although the soldiers of the Japanese ace troops were deeply influenced by Bushido education, there are still quite a few Japanese soldiers who were tortured by the US artillery fire and bombardment. They jumped into the river and tried to swim to escape. Using machine guns and Garand's ruthless lessons, one by one, blood appeared in the river, and the floating corpses covered the river, which was shocking.

  The 1st Marine Battalion and other ground artillery fire and bombardment stopped, and immediately jumped out of the coconut grove and began to attack the Japanese army. In order to end the battle as soon as possible, battalion commander Anderson crushed five M3 "Stuart" light tanks from the pile of Japanese corpses on the small sandbar, and opened fire on the remaining Japanese with 37mm rapid-fire guns and machine guns on the turret.

The    division commander agreed that Lu Fei would follow the first battalion, but he was afraid that Lu Fei would be damaged, so he let him enter the tank to be safe. Lu Fei bribed the commander and the gunner with a few cigars and got the gunner's job. Lu Fei was already strong, and the recoil of the machine gun had a controllable effect on him. The rifle was good at shooting, and he was unambiguous about using the machine gun. Within a few hundred meters, it really covered the dead and wounded.

   Under the attack of the superior U.S. troops and firepower, the Yimu remnants were unable to resist at all, and had to retreat into the coconut grove by the sea. In the final battle, the U.S. military's superiority in firepower once again appeared. The light and heavy weapons slammed into the coconut forest, killing the Japanese army in a mess. Lu Fei's light tank rushed to the front, not only using the vehicle-mounted 37mm artillery and machine guns to kill a lot of people The Japanese army also used crawlers to crush any Japanese soldiers who dared to resist or could not escape. Lu Fei was crushed with flesh and blood, and the sound was disgusting. The machine gun did not stop for a moment. This is all points. Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

   At 10:30, there were only a handful of Japanese soldiers left in the coconut grove. They gathered around Yimu, who was seriously injured but still holding the flag. He ordered the flag to be burned, and the flag-bearer hurriedly doused the blood-stained flag with gasoline.

  Lu Fei has long been paying attention to the last remaining devils of Yimu. Saying hello to the gunner, the 37mm artillery and machine guns started sweeping towards the Japanese.

   "Tom Tom Tom, Da Da Da", artillery projectiles and thick machine gun bullets beat the Japanese soldiers into the wind, and their stumps flew around. The flag-bearer was instantly smashed, and blood splashed the flag. Kazuki's hand holding the saber was also interrupted. Yimu single-mindedly begged for death, but still insisted on standing up, trying to command the remaining Japanese troops to carry out a decisive charge.

   Finally begging for benevolence, Ichiki and the last die-hard Japanese soldiers all turned into dancers in the wind. After being hit by the machine gun bullet, he twisted unconsciously, sprayed a large amount of blood mist, and fell tragically one by one.

  Lu Fei patted the driver and asked him to drive over to a pile of "minced meat". He opened the top cover, pinched his nose, and walked into the sea of ​​corpses and blood. Picked up the Japanese army flag and a wooden saber. It's not too dirty, so I threw the seized into the car. At this time, the U.S. military had already surrounded them from all directions, and some injured Japanese soldiers were still screaming miserably on the ground.

   There are medics who can't see it and want to go to rescue.

  Lu Fei suddenly remembered something, shouted, and ran towards the medical soldier. The medic was startled by him and froze in place. Lu Fei ran over, grabbed him, and pointed at the Japanese wounded. Only then did the medics realize that the other party was in a wrong state. The Japanese wounded had round eyes and a grim face, as if they were holding something in their hands.

Lu Fei didn't hesitate, the silver light flashed, and the flying knife was already stuck in the hand of the Japanese wounded. "Boom", and the grenade in his hand exploded in an instant.

   The distant division commander Vandergrift was rushing in in an armored vehicle. Seeing the explosion here, he hurried over to understand the situation. Knowing what happened, he was furious and ordered not to rescue any Japanese wounded, but to kill them directly or run over by tanks.

"Commander, although the Japanese army has basically been wiped out, but a few Japanese devils have escaped, they should have fled to the landing point. Why don't we take advantage of the victory and send light tanks and armor to chase, and when we find the remaining Japanese army at the landing point, we will kill them together, you. how about."

  Vandergrift was no longer satisfied with today's battle. The incoming enemy was completely wiped out, and the US military lost in the single digits. This battle can be called a massacre. In this case, he would naturally be a little more cautious and asked Lu Fei:

   "Jack, you are a doctor, why are you so murderous? We don't know enough about the enemy's situation now. Will it be dangerous to continue the pursuit or encounter a large Japanese army? There is no intelligence support."

   "I'll give you a good thing first. This thing is enough for you to wear a medal of record." After Lu Fei finished speaking, he took out the flag of the Yimu Brigade. Vandergrift took a closer look and saw a blood-soaked, embroidered Japanese detachment flag. Although the flag was full of blood and disgusting, as a senior general, he still knew the goods and was overjoyed. He patted Lu Fei repeatedly and praised him for his brains and luck.

   "The flags of the Japanese devils are all here. The ones left behind must be a small army. We won't kill them all or capture them all. In the future, these guys will come ashore with more Japanese devils."

  Vandergrift said yes and ordered his troops immediately. A team of 5 light armored vehicles loaded with 80 soldiers was established, plus a light tank headed, and set off immediately. Other troops clean the battlefield, and then ask the reconnaissance planes at Henderson Airport to keep up. If they encounter a large Japanese army, they will immediately retreat. In other cases, act by chance.

   The commander named Lu Fei to be in charge of the pursuit. The soldiers on board are all soldiers in a company, which is convenient for his command.

   Lu Fei was overjoyed, he quickly boarded the lead of the tank and ordered everyone to follow. He held a binoculars and looked at the trail ahead, constantly paying attention to the escape of the Japanese troops along the road, such as broken branches and shallow footprints.

  Because the Japanese army moved their troops through this trail, the road conditions were still acceptable. Lu Fei received a report from a reconnaissance plane that the Japanese army was fleeing ahead, and there were signs of Japanese army activity in the jungle around Taiwujiao by the sea.

  Lu Fei thought for a while, if he followed these remnants of defeated soldiers slowly, it is very likely that they would not be able to annihilate these Japanese troops before dark. Once it was dark, these Japanese troops would hide in the jungle, and it would be too difficult to capture them. It is better to go straight to Huanglong.

   made up his mind, Lu Fei ordered the convoy to speed up and dashed all the way. The fleeing Japanese soldiers found them chasing, panicked, and wolves rushed everywhere. Lu Fei ordered full fire, and the machine guns turned into red lines, sweeping through everything like a red lightsaber. One Japanese soldier was knocked down.

  Lu Fei left behind a light armored vehicle and 20 soldiers to clean up the remnants, and the large group continued on the road.

   The brothers who had been on the road ate some dry food, and they all had high fighting spirit and high spirits, and they did not feel tired at all. It was close to Taiwu Corner around 2 pm. Lu Fei's strategy was also very simple. He chased the Japanese army to the beach so that the light tanks and armor would not be trapped in the sand, and then pursued them or asked planes to shoot them to avoid casualties.

The    squad ran away with great fanfare, the guns fired in unison, and concentrated artillery fire on the bushes and dense forests where the Japanese were hiding, and called bombers to bombard them. A large number of Japanese soldiers in yellow clothes swarmed out and fled to the beach. Squad tanks and armored vehicles Yuzai Yuzai followed and called and fired.

Seeing this situation, Lu Fei was unavoidable. He stuck his head out of the tank. Standing on the tank, he used the Garand to defeat several devils. Seventeen rapid-fire guns robbed business.

   After half an hour, the world was clean. Lu Fei asked the soldiers to remove the 30 bayonets that were placed on the cover of the Japanese army's corpse. It was a good thing, and he also took 2 of them. The brothers of the squad came home full of energy and enthusiasm.

   After 5 o'clock, the team returned to the US military camp and was warmly welcomed. Someone came to consolidate the overall results. Even the field reporters came to interview. In the end, it was counted that 910 Japanese troops were eliminated in this battle, and only a few of the Japanese troops escaped into the jungle.

   The next day, the US media had already reported the fighting situation to the country. The US military lost in single digits in this battle, while the Japanese army destroyed the entire brigade, and the company flag was captured. In theory, the formation of the brigade has been completely erased. The United States rejoiced at the glorious record of the battle on Guadalcanal.

  The First Division of the Marine Warfare is in the limelight for a while, and its reputation is as high as the sun.
