933 Raid on Pearl Harbor (13)
"It's the elite troops of the Chinese!"
Major General Smith made a judgment without thinking. After being stunned, he grabbed the phone and shouted at the artillery regiment: "Fire the artillery! All the artillery fire. Blast me hard immediately!"
Not to mention the school shooting, I have done this job many times before, and the main attack areas of the beachhead positions were marked early and the shooting numbers were marked.
It is impossible for him to cover the artillery of the Second Division to cover a total of 100 square kilometers of land. If you fire directly, you will definitely miss half of it. It is still a matter of whether the rest can hit it, but Smith really has no other choice. The situation at the foot of the mountain is no longer controlled!
More than a dozen air cushion landing craft were transporting more than 100 heavy motorcycles. When they rushed out of the rolling smoke, they opened up a formation of more than ten kilometers wide. It can be imagined that there were only ten or eight people who died within one kilometer, and they were all very open. Not to mention a cannon, even if you fire a bunch of cannons together, you can't cause much casualties.
If there could be a perverted fire support ship of the Ocean Fleet, launching 200 rockets at a time, it would be a little possible, but is the US military? So, this is the worst way!
Smith was not talking nonsense. From such a distance, he could barely see the cracks of the collapsed and broken dense forests between the hills at the foot of the mountain, and the clever figures that contrasted with the messy shell craters, which really gave him a terrifying feeling of terror!
If someone else really saw the appearance of these motorcycles, I'm afraid that the same choice would be the same as him!
This is not a simple motorized infantry. Each motorcycle has a regular length of one and a half times the size. The tires are even thicker than those of Ford cars. The body is at least 200 kilograms, and the engine output is even more than it can be! So much so that on flat roads, these guys can easily run to a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour. The extremely amazing mechanical structure is the performance of the vehicle designed and trained by Tesla and Zhu Bin, which is definitely epoch-making.
The basic performance of the car is second, and the key is the key parts around the front and rear of the car body. It is a layer of armor that can withstand the piercing of rifle bullets, and it also meets aerodynamic standards. Even the streamlined cone protruding like an eagle beak in the front has the minimum wind gear coefficient, and even the metal plates unfolding outwards in the middle and rear have a certain aerodynamic lift effect... This is definitely the concept of designing fighter jets has been added. If necessary, this guy can accelerate the short-distance gliding or even fly!
Apart from the body of the car, the headlights are arranged in two heavy machine guns, the rear seat of the car is bulging forward and firmly protects the streamlined dome on the back of the rider. The left and right are 40mm grenade launchers and rocket launchers! The inner side of the support body is a vertical ammunition supply!
In addition, in the center of the handlebar, there is another short-pipe flame-spraying device, and in the rest, there are more equipment and facilities.
It can be said that this thing, plus its wings, is like a short and concise fighter, two cars in parallel, and one runs like an ancient heavy cavalry. More than a hundred things rush into the position from the front, and you don’t have to think about how terrifying the consequences will happen!
Major General Smith didn't see the details clearly for the time being. However, when he was thin at first sight, he intuitively felt a danger from his strange and evil appearance, and did not consider deploying two entire infantry regiments on the front line, shouting and opening fire!
Fortunately, he had not mobilized artillery. At this time, with a command, the entire artillery regiment, which had been preparing for a long time, made a violent roar. 36 105mm grenades and 12 155mm high-explosive grenades flew into the air, condescendingly from the hidden positions halfway up the mountain, crossing the mountains in front that blocked their sight and rumbling to the beach!
Once fire is opened, no matter how good the disguise is, it is useless. The clear infrared signal source and the boiling muzzle smoke are continuously evaporated, and they all fall into the equipment of the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft above and are immediately transmitted to the fleet command center.
When Ouyang Ge saw the densely scattered formation, he couldn't help but smile: "The Americans should have obtained the true teachings of Japan and actually arranged the cannon positions so scattered. It seems that they are afraid of being taken over by us!"
The satellite maps of the entire Oahu Island, low-altitude aviation maps and detailed reconnaissance maps accumulated over the years, gathered from military maps stolen from the US military, etc., forming a detailed three-dimensional realistic image like a photo, which can depict the existence of every mountain, every wood, every ditch, and even every small hill, which truly makes you know yourself and your enemy.
Each fire-firing gun position has mountains or primeval forests behind it to cover their sight, which is hard to see at high altitudes, and the surrounding roads are blocked and hidden, making it difficult for ordinary people to enter. There are fresh plants and camouflage nets to cover it. It is extremely difficult to see them if you don’t get in!
Such an arrangement is definitely not something that Americans who have not fought a war for many years can imagine. Instead, the Japanese who have suffered many losses have great experience in hiding and digging holes. It is probably taught by example.
But all this is useless. As long as it is exposed, the result is destined. Ouyang Ge narrowed his eyes slightly and ordered the Air Force: "Perform the second phase of Operation Hurricane!"
On the two aircraft carriers far behind, the two attack aircraft formations took off in sequence, each with various ammunition and weapons, and rushed over the Kaannai Ridge!
The rumbling shells exploded on the beach in front of Pearl Harbor! Most of them hit the area near Qianhai, which had been bombarded by battleships, but now it is just the icing on the cake.
The rest of the small part landed on the west side of Eva Beach, which was also another important landing point. However, for a second division, their artillery number was obviously not enough, and the explosion points that were smashed were sparse and not large.
There were only a few fragmented shells, chasing the tail of the motorcycle knight, and the rumbling and explosion almost wrapped a few people in, but in just a few seconds, after a flash, one by one, the running figures continued to move forward without any damage, and rushed forward!
Too fast! Their speed is definitely as fast as American cars running on the road, and they continue to leap and change direction as the terrain rises and falls. There is no stable trajectory to follow. If you want to aim, the difficulty is as difficult as killing mosquitoes with a rifle!
Smith didn't expect to kill these weird guys in one go. He patiently waited for the artillery to fire ten consecutive shots as required, and quickly moved the position. He also gave a cold order: "Set the aiming direction in front of the Second and Eighth Regiments, wait for the front to determine the whereabouts of the enemy, and open fire immediately. Take them off guard!"
He is not a fool! He has more than one plan to defend Pearl Harbor, and there are several plans to be captured on the beach alone!
Everyone knows that once the navy is killed, it is not realistic to rely on the shore to defend the huge enemy with battleships. There are not many people in Hawaii who send them to bombard them, and no one can stop the strike of the main guns of the battleships. Moreover, the beachfront is too wide, and their troops are obviously insufficient.
Then put the enemy up, make full use of the complex terrain that is mostly mountains and is entangled with it, and eliminate the opponent's advantages as much as possible, and maybe you can reverse the situation.
Although Smith was irritable and arrogant, he was definitely not stupid. He made a wise choice when he saw this situation. He gave up the beach for the time being and focused on defense!
What is the target of the other party's airdrop and strange tricks? Just a little bit of people is not enough to occupy, nor is it enough to search and clear out the army on the island. Then there is only one intention, forcibly breaking the attack and reconnaissance, forcing them to expose heavy weapons and various hidden fortifications. Then they either attack and destroy, but the greater possibility is to call heavy weapons in the air and in the sea to strike.
If it were him, he would do that!
Since we cannot stop the opponent's breakthrough and infiltration, let's change our thinking. Use the artillery position that will inevitably be exposed as bait, and then set up a large firepower net around us to force the opponent to enter a position that we set up to fight. At that time, the dominance will be in our hands!
As for the blows caused by artillery fire, Smith was very rare and humble. He referred to the Japanese practices. The cunning rabbit had three holes! A group of artillery set up multiple positions around, and moved immediately after a round. He would never be interested in fighting. He would run as fast as he could, and he would hide as deep as he could!
Compared with the Japanese army, the Americans' mechanized power is more than ten times stronger! All cannons are towed by professional tractors, and they are all luxurious rubber tires. The mountain moves faster and adaptable, and there will never be a situation where once it is set up, it will not be able to move for a short time.
After the entire 10th Artillery Regiment was killed, there were basically no shells and fire medicine left around. The tractor turned back from behind and pulled up the cannon and ran away!
The artillerymen didn't even want the remaining shells, and they carried their own self-defense weapons and rushed over without any nostalgia. They probably knew that there were terrible battleships on the beach. When that guy's shell fell over his head, they would definitely die!
The entire transfer speed is really fast! Although it is not as good as the speed of the Zhu family's self-propelled artillery and assault guns, it is not much different! When the attack planes swarmed over Oahu Island, they aimed the gliding bombs one by one at the narrow valley and hidden positions, and basically successfully transferred to the next position.
One powerful gliding bomb after another burst of blast! Each one is a mother-of-child warhead, two groups of covering it, encircling a one-kilometer position at one time. In the deafening roar, a large area of boiling flames were set off, swallowing the dense forests, and shaking the entire island. If you don’t know, you thought the volcano was about to erupt!
Major General Smith looked sweaty on his forehead, secretly glad that he had commanded properly, and the young combat staff were simply amazed: "What a terrible reaction speed! The terrible bombing force! God knows how they did it! General, should we use anti-aircraft guns to shoot them down!"
"Not for now!"
Smith shook his head. In fact, he didn't know how the other party did it. According to the current communication capabilities of the US military, after a first-level attack was encountered, calling artillery or air support would need to be conveyed layer by layer. The most convenient way is to get the artillery to retaliate, but the process time is not that fast.
On the other hand, how many minutes can the artillery soldiers take if they only shoot ten shells, plus the transfer effort? Their planes actually came down in groups, which shows that almost when they discovered the artillery positions, the planes acted directly!
And it is very strange. These planes did not run directly to the original artillery position to dive and bomb, but were located far away from the outskirts of the island. They found the most suitable angle to throw their strange bombs over and hit the target! How did they do it? I don’t know! Or I don’t know!
"Damn it! What a cunning guy!"
After silently calculating the position of the opponent's fighter plane, Smith couldn't help but curse. There was an air defense position there, but the firepower density was definitely not enough, the rear could not reach it, and there were not many targets in the unit's airspace. In addition, the group of helicopters were still wandering around in the same place. The super airships in the distance did not move, so what were they waiting for?
It's creepy to think about it!
Smith would rather wait for his response strategy to succeed than take unnecessary risks. When the Navy is unable to counterattack, their personnel and equipment will be used a little less!
The sharply changing and shrinking positions led to a large gap in the center and outer areas of the entire southern Kaane Ridge. Except for the sporadic small groups of people lurking in the castle and moving with their cameras. The main force exceeded 5,000 people, and they harbored around the valley where the artillery position was located, entering preset fortifications, waiting for the attack to arrive!
Smith thought coldly, if the other party really only attacked with those paratroopers and these strange new motorcycle soldiers, they would definitely give them some color! The US Marine Corps is not for underestimation!
Depth to the beach, more than a hundred ghostly motorcyclists rushed into the frontier defensive positions at lightning. Naturally, they gathered in groups of three or five to form various peak formations, and plunged over without hesitation!
A battalion infantry who stayed there as a blocking watch the shadows of these guys magnify quickly, making a sharp and strange howling sound (Tesla engine), as if the whistle of a kettle's steam rushing through the narrow spout, pricking people's heads and bones all over itchy.
"I can't stand it anymore!" The hidden fire point set up by the high place was immediately activated, and a thrust m1919a4 heavy machine gun roared clangingly, and pieces of bullets immediately splashed at the target!
The speeding armored motorcycle suddenly came across lightly. It leaned down from one side of the body, letting the bullets roar over the head. Then the 40 grenades behind the shoulders bounced up and rushed towards the place where the smoke was spewed!
The space between each other is only a hundred meters, so you can see clearly. The smoke from the cannonballs is not large, but it is enough for the defenders to see clearly. They can't help but scream. Without time to avoid it, the shells fell down one after another and exploded!
Not all of them could hit the target, most of them were lost, but the gravel, sand and smoke caused by the explosion were not fake. The moment the machine gun position was disturbed, the armored motorcycle suddenly burst out with a shocking roar, and it accelerated and rushed over the thick wire and trenches. It was approaching the sky. The knight above popped out a thick pistol with both hands, and the "bang bang bang" was so dense that the drum beat was missing, like bullets fired by a submachine gun rushing into the US soldiers!
The exposed machine gunners and ammunition players rushed over! The soldiers who were guarding them had no time to shoot and aim, and they grew big mouths and watched the huge black shadow fall on their heads, and were then swept over by a thick .45-caliber bullet!
On other positions, the US military guns in front of the motorcycle were fired together. Two heavy machine guns opened fire in response. The hulala bullets pulled out two dazzling tracers, and swept wildly like a super iron broom. The unlucky US military immediately screamed and turned around. Fortunately, they were so pressed that they couldn't even lift their heads. They watched them pass by like ghosts, leaving behind a series of grenades, and the explosion made people rush over!
When you enter the lower part of the Kahanai Ridge, there are few flat grounds. Golf courses scattered on the top of the flat valley. After all, the gentle grass is a minority. Such terrain is more suitable for armored motorcycles to gallop across, which will cause huge trouble to the defenders.
The mortar was unable to aim. As soon as the rocket launcher stood upright and wanted to fire, it was killed by the opponent's random series of bullets. Compared with the slow tank, the target was more than twice as fast as the target, which was only possible by fighting fighters. But a very few bullets were of little use to them!
Dozens of arrows pierced the defense line of the Second Division. All the obstacles prepared for armored soldiers and infantry were useless, leaving more than a hundred casualties, without stopping, and continuing to head towards the central highland! Even the hillsides that rose rapidly seemed to be unable to bring any obstacles to them. They all jumped with all their strength, as flexible as goats!
Smith was so angry that he screamed: "Is there really no way to do them?"
Yes! Detach a chariot battalion! At least the shells of tanks and armored vehicles are thick enough. When they are blocked by the narrow mountain passage, they cannot get up. In the complex mountainous areas, there are only a few available passages.
Besides, their ammunition is not endless. Compared to the terrifying paratroopers, these guys may actually be subject to heavy motorcycles!
The sharp penetration ability made Smith feel a little dangerous. Maybe these guys will let their plans fail? No! They must be killed! Otherwise, the two sides will really be in harmony. God knows whether they will gather a short and concise mountain strong soldier!
"Detect the armored battalion! Try to stop them!"
Each Marine Division is equipped with an armored battalion, which uses armored vehicles to attack the beach during attack, and the defense is used as the core of the division headquarters and the infantry support. Speaking of which, they did a very difficult job - professionalism is not right! Originally, field battles should be done for the army!
