Chapter 299: John Barrons
The flares rose into the air and illuminated the vicinity of the No. 2 River area, and the Japanese who had just crossed the river had nothing to hide under the flares, and the American machine-gun positions began to fire at the Japanese who had just crossed the river.
This time, the Americans opened fire with all their firepower, and six heavy machine guns blocked the landing area of the entire river beach, and all the Japanese who had just come ashore fell in a pool of blood.
The flare not only allowed the Americans to discover the traces of the Japanese, but also allowed Yu Yang to find the precise location of the Americans, Yu Yang was completely lost when he approached the location of the No. 2 River, the No. 2 River was very long, Yu Yang did not know the specific location of the C Regiment at all, and Yu Yang, who was flying wildly all the way before dark, found no trace of the Americans when he found the No. 2 River.
Just as Yu Yang was wandering around in the woods, a flare suddenly appeared on the left side, far away from Yu Yang, but the place where the flare was definitely a firefight between the Americans and the Japanese, and immediately moved quickly in the direction of the flare, hoping to find John Barros in that position.
How far away the Americans were from Yu Yang, Yu Yang didn't remember to calculate, but the distance was definitely not close, Yu Yang saw that the flare in the air was at least two kilometers away from him in a straight line, but it was particularly obvious in the dark night, Yu Yang saw the sky on the far side light up through the gap in the dense forest.
And this is in the jungle, there are many mountain roads in the jungle, and it may take four or five kilometers or more to walk by yourself, and the flare is only a flash, Yu Yang can only remember to distinguish the general direction, especially in the jungle, at night, if you are not familiar with the terrain, even a twenty-year-old scout is easy to get lost.
Yu Yang carried his backpack, holding M4A1 and AM, quickly shuttling in the jungle, Yu Yang had to listen carefully to identify the direction every time he walked dozens of meters, and at the same time, he would also listen carefully to the sound, hoping to hear the gunshots of the Japanese and the Americans, which would make it easier for Yu Yang to identify the direction.
But now Yu Yang was in a downwind position, he couldn't hear any gunfire at all, and he lacked a guiding target, and when Yu Yang walked forward for about 300 meters, he was already disoriented, so he had to use the most stupid method to go near the No. 2 river and go forward along the No. 2 river, hoping that the Americans and the Japanese could fight on both sides of the river.
Ignoring Yu Yang's worries, it was obviously superfluous, just as Yu Yang was about to grope forward along the river, the flares of the US military rose again from a distance, guiding Yu Yang in the direction of progress, this time not one flare, but three flares, and the entire night sky was half illuminated.
Seeing this scene, Yu Yang immediately continued to move briskly towards the position of eleven o'clock, he had just left the predetermined direction, there is a big difference between advancing in the jungle and advancing in the plain, you encounter a lot of obstacles when you walk, and from time to time you need to avoid obstacles, at this time you continue to move forward.
Visually, you think that you are still moving along the established position, but in fact, there has been a slight deviation, once the sides may not affect the direction of progress, but there are many trees in the jungle, and you dodge a lot of times, so when you go forward less than two or three hundred meters, you have completely deviated from the goal.
If it was daytime, the sun could be used as a reference, but it was night, and the brightest stars in the night sky were obscured by thick clouds.
Yu Yang's side was moving towards the battlefield at high speed, and on both sides of the No. 2 River in the distance, the Americans and the Japanese were fighting to the death.
The first batch of Japanese soldiers who forcibly crossed the river were all cleared by the American machine-gun positions, but the Americans with full firepower encountered the Japanese frenzied shelling, and more than a dozen grenadiers and mortars continued to bombard the American positions.
The three flares that Yu Yang saw just now, two of which were sent by the Japanese, illuminated the defensive positions of the US military clearly, and at the same time, some of the Japanese began to charge frantically again, preparing to cross the river, and at the same time, Japanese also appeared on both sides of the US army, moving towards the US army's butt at high speed.
"There are Japanese on both sides, John, you take someone to get rid of the Japanese on the left!" The US officers immediately began to deploy operations, and the night battle made the US troops very uncomfortable, and the Japanese emerged from various places like ghosts, and then attacked the Americans, and several US positions were already successfully attacked by the Japanese.
"Roger!" John Barlons shouted, and quickly moved to the left with his men, John Barlons is now a platoon commander, and in the daytime melee on the beachhead, the platoon commander and deputy platoon commander were all killed, and John Barros temporarily became the supreme commander of the platoon according to his rank.
"Attention, there are Japanese in front, ready to fight!" After taking a few steps to the left, John Barros saw a figure flickering in the jungle on the left with the help of the last bit of afterglow of the flare, and immediately raised his gun and aimed at it, and all the other American soldiers also raised their weapons at the same time.
A second later, a detachment of Japanese soldiers rushed out from the left side, holding the 38 big cover and roaring loudly, but as soon as they showed up, they heard a crisp burst of gunfire not far away, and all the Japanese in a detachment fell to the ground in an instant, John Barlons waved his hand, and more than a dozen American soldiers followed John Barlons to continue to advance.
John Barlons and his American soldiers are the best equipped dozen Marines in Kuah Island, each of them has an M1 Garand rifle, which John Barons snatched from the Army before, and because of this, after John Barros served as a temporary platoon commander, all the American soldiers were convinced of him.
"Bang ......"
After a few steps forward, the two American soldiers who walked in front fell to the ground, and the fatal bullets fired in the darkness took away the young lives of the two American soldiers, and John Barlons immediately pulled the trigger on the position of the gunfire: "Fire suppression, fire suppression, machine gunner, set up the machine gun, there are many Japanese in front!" ”
"It's sir!"
Two American soldiers with a light machine gun found a tree at random and lay on the ground, and after setting up their weapons, they pulled the trigger at the position where there might be Japanese in front of them, and then there was a scream in the distance, and at the same time a flare lit up above John Barrons's head.
