As soon as the US offensive came up, there was an overwhelming burst of artillery fire.

Don't look at the strength of the 1st Marine Regiment of the United States, which has only one regiment, but this regiment is equipped with two tank companies and a howitzer battalion...... This was mainly due to the fact that several other regiments of the 1st Marine Division could not keep up in time, so the US Navy could match the 1st Marine Regiment with as much equipment as it could.

On the other hand, the US Navy hopes in its heart that its Marine Corps can overwhelm the Chinese army, and this is not only a contest between the Navy and the Army, but also a serious issue of national dignity between the United States and China...... According to the U.S. Navy, the equipment was reserved for the rest of the 1st Marine Division that would follow suit.

A howitzer battalion was more than a dozen howitzers, plus dozens of mortars of various calibers bombarded the direction of the Japanese army, and the shells flew towards the Japanese army like raindrops...... The Japanese army always thought that the enemy they were facing was only a small group of harassing troops of the US army, and at the same time, they also always thought that their own troops could have an advantage in artillery fire because they had naval guns and reconnaissance planes.

Then the American troops rushed in the direction of the Japanese under the cover of tanks, and the Japanese troops quickly retreated with heavy casualties.

As soon as he heard such a fierce gunfire coming from the direction of the US military, Zhang Chi felt that something was wrong...... Of course, this does not mean that this battle will be lost, in fact, the Japanese army has only 1,000 people, while the Sino-US coalition army has more than 10,000 people, not to mention that the ratio of troops is more than ten to one, and the Japanese army is far from each other in terms of equipment and preparation, so it is impossible for the Japanese army to win this battle.

What Zhang Chi said is not good, referring to the US military such a dozen. Then the hidden strength will become an empty word, and the Japanese army will soon find out that the army stationed on Kuah Island will not be a small force of harassing troops.

"Tuanza!" The fellow villagers asked Zhang Chi on the walkie-talkie: "What should I do now?" ”

"What else can I do?" Zhang Chi replied: "Call me!" Hit hard! ”

"Yes!" The townsfolk responded very simply.

It is said that they had retreated again and again in the face of the devil's attack according to the order, but in fact, they were holding their breath in their hearts...... Obviously he can beat the devil, but he has to behave like a defeated retreat and beat a nest.

At this moment, when he heard the order to attack, he knew that the time had come for revenge, so he shouted "Kill!" "A counteroffensive was launched against the Japanese army.

The Japanese army was still thinking about how to catch up with the Chinese army a second ago, so they did not organize a defense at all, so they were at a loss for how to respond to the counterattack of the Chinese army.

However, the Japanese army was the Japanese army after all, and they rushed towards the Chinese army as soon as they were ruthless...... It should be said that this choice was still very wise, on the one hand, because the Japanese army simply did not have time to organize defense. With their firepower, even if they organized a defense, they could not stop the enemy's offensive. On the other hand, the Japanese army is also better at stabbing and hand-to-hand combat, so just you rush at me, it depends on who is more ruthless!

But what the Japanese army didn't expect was that the Chinese army in front of them was not an ordinary Chinese army, they were the Chinese expeditionary force that had fought countless times with the elite troops of the Japanese army on the battlefield in Burma, so they knew too well the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and the enemy.

Because they knew this, the Chinese army rushed to the front, but did not intend to fight the Japanese in hand-to-hand combat...... This aspect has always been the weakness of the Chinese army, and the strength of the Chinese army is that it has stronger firepower. For example, the M1 rifle, the Thomson submachine gun, so only a fool will wring with a devil bayonet to bayonet.

So when the Japanese soldiers howled and rushed up with their bayonets shining in the moonlight, the pace of the Chinese troops slowed down invariably, and then their hands reached for the grenades hanging from their waists.

"Grenade!" With a shout. Rows of grenades were thrown into the open space between the Chinese and Japanese armies.

Almost at the same time, the Chinese troops fell to the ground and pulled the trigger forward.

The Japanese soldiers who were charging forward could no longer stop, so they could only grit their teeth and continue to roar forward......

After a burst of "boom", the Japanese troops who rushed ahead were blown down. Before the follow-up Japanese troops rushed up, the Chinese troops lying on the ground loaded their ammunition and stood up, quickly pulling the trigger according to the Japanese troops rushing up.

"Bang bang ......" With the sound of gunfire, the Japanese soldiers with bayonets were knocked to the ground one by one.

The Japanese army hoped to take advantage of the gap between the Chinese army and the replacement of ammunition to enter the Chinese army. So they still rushed forward desperately, but this hope soon turned into an extravagant hope, because they found that the Chinese army was divided into two teams to cover each other, and after this team finished shooting, another team would soon continue to shoot, so the bullets continued to pour down on the Japanese army as if they could not be finished, and the rain of bullets was like an invisible hand to block the Japanese army's tidal attack a few meters in front of them.

It can even be said that such an offensive of the Japanese army not only failed to advance, but was still retreating...... The Chinese troops were slowly moving forward while firing, while the Japanese were rushing forward with a howl, but their battle line was retreating.

Despite this, the Japanese army did not retreat, and still rushed forward one after another...... This unit is a member of the Japanese Navy's Special Marine Corps, somewhat similar to the U.S. Navy's Marine Corps, but they are actually better trained than the U.S. 1st Marine Division.

The 1st Marine Division of the United States is a unit that has just been formed and has not yet completed basic training, but this unit of the Japanese army is an elite soldier with rich combat experience drawn from the army, which is one of the reasons why Kiyoshi Ichiki believes that his troops can easily recapture the airfield.

Kiyoshi Kazuki knew that if he didn't give the order to stop the attack, his men would keep rushing like this until the last man.

But Kazuki Kiyoshi couldn't watch his subordinates run out like this, and it was not interesting to fight like this, so he had to order a retreat after thinking about it repeatedly.

However, by this time it was too late to order a retreat.

Only a motor and lights flickered on the flanks, followed by an even more dense burst of gunfire.

It was the tanks of the 1st Marine Regiment of the United States, and they were chasing the retreating Japanese troops all the way here...... The characteristics of the recruits are like this, the newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and after winning a battle, they are desperate to chase forward, and they do not want to think about whether the front will be a trap set by the Japanese, or whether there will be a misunderstanding with the Chinese troops in the dark night.

But there was also a mistake, and they killed in one breath just to intercept the retreating Japanese army.
