Kirk smiled: "How is the situation outside?"

Chekov pointed to the window: "Listen to the roaring sound of artillery. The US military is setting up cannons to bombard the Japanese positions. After two consecutive defeats, Uncle Sam used real fire. The US 1st Marine Division, which had stabilized its position, began to

A deep and violent attack on Perio."

Crescent Moon added: "However, the Americans discovered that the Japanese army on this island is really powerful. Cold gunmen are everywhere. The US military's attack is completely useless. The navy's warships supplemented the artillery shells and fully cooperated with the attack, but it was of no use."

"The Forester team suffered a lot this time. I guess they won't let it go. They might come up with some tricks to retaliate against us." Kirk said: "Everyone should be more vigilant. The two teams take turns sending people to monitor the Forestr team.

."

Sure enough, as everyone predicted, the subsequent battle quickly evolved into a tug-of-war. Although the US military used all its resources, it achieved little results. After two days, the 1st Marine Division only advanced less than 200 meters.

As a new recruit, Sledge was very active. Not only did he fight bravely, he also had a sense of justice and responsibility. Whenever his teammates fell to the ground, he would actively rescue him. This American young man never lacked humility and forbearance.

The spirit of responsibility and sacrifice.

After the last war, Kirk's team and the Sea King Regiment destroyed a large number of Japanese troops and achieved a lot of contribution points. The contribution value of destroying a Japanese light tank was 50, ordinary Japanese soldiers were 5, the elite Japanese soldiers of the 14th Division were 10, and one

The contribution value of a German King Tiger tank is 100. The contribution value of a Japanese Guards Division is 30.

Kirk noticed that the soldiers and tanks summoned by the opponent using merit points, redeemed for medals, and killed by him can still produce contribution values. But compared to the opponent's merit point investment, the output must be much less than the investment.

For example, Kirk's Gold Star Medal requires 10,000 contribution points, but it can only summon 10 elite Marines. Even if the opponent's merit points for killing these elite soldiers are counted as 30 each, it is only a total value of 300.

This 10,000 to 300 is approximately a 30 to 1 exchange ratio. The space is set up in this way, naturally to prevent someone from investing in the Japanese and American forces, and then unlimitedly summoning soldiers to increase each other's merit points and contribution points from cheating.

As for the 12 King Tiger tanks and 1,000 Guards soldiers, according to the investment summoning ratio of 30:1, the opponent must have invested a lot. Even if they operate in this world for a long time, their vitality will inevitably be severely damaged. For a period of time, they should not be afraid of the forester team causing trouble.

Kirk checked his contribution value, and it also exceeded 10,000. Mainly due to the last use of bombers, bombing of King Tiger tanks and Guards Division. He received a Gold Star Medal.

"General William, please come over!" the Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel called.

William was very happy to see Kirk. During the Japanese surprise attack three days ago, Kirk decisively summoned U.S. bombers and destroyed all the German tanks and Japanese elites that came from nowhere on the beach, avoiding the landing of U.S. troops.

The second collapse and the destruction of two divisions became his savior.

Although more than 1,000 U.S. troops were accidentally injured. However, after the discussion of the U.S. military court, it was believed that under those circumstances, these 1,000 U.S. troops were attacked in panic by King Tiger tanks and 1,000 elite Guards divisions.

There was no possibility of victory. Considering the nature of the surprise attack by the Japanese army, the Japanese army did not have redundant manpower or enough chance of victory to keep these prisoners. In fact, according to eyewitness memories, Japanese tanks and soldiers had killed thousands of people on the beach.

.

Therefore, the military court believed that the war situation at that time was irreversible. The lives of 1,000 American troops had been lost. Kirk's decision to call in bombers and save the surrounded 1st Army Division and 1st Navy Division was a wise and decisive decision.

. Therefore, he was not held accountable.

However, in order to appease the families of those soldiers who were accidentally injured and calm the domestic controversy, the US military did not award the Kirk Medal to avoid causing controversy.

General William pointed to a large battle map and explained the next battle strategy to Kirk.

It turned out that after successive landings were frustrated, the U.S. military changed its strategy and no longer attacked the frontal highlands. Instead, it attacked the flanking highlands, gradually clearing the bunkers and firepower points set up by the Japanese army on the mountains on three sides, so as to prevent the U.S. military from facing fierce Japanese forces on three sides if it attacked.

Firepower.

General William pointed out one point in particular, which was the "point" that the main mission required to clear.

As mentioned earlier, this point is a 9.1-meter reef standing on the seaside, and it is also the commanding height of the beach. The reef is connected to the main mountain range through the mountains.

As an expert in defensive warfare, Shunan Nakagawa cunningly ordered the Japanese army to hollow out this huge rock, connect it to the main mountain range with a cave passage, and dig out shooting holes and observation holes at high altitudes. The Japanese engineers removed the heavy steel plates and gates.

Installed on the shooting port of this reef. The island's commanding heights reef suddenly transformed into an indestructible fortress. The Japanese army installed a 47mm anti-tank gun and six 20mm twin-link machine guns on it.

Since it overlooks the entire beach and narrow mountains and plains, every time the U.S. military moves, it is within its shooting range without any cover. The Japanese troops and foresters above use this natural fortress to use cannons, machine guns and divine weapons.

With its shooting skills, it beat the U.S. military to the point of crying every time and was in agony. At least 30% of the U.S. military’s casualties were caused by it.

"Why not use bombers or gunboats to blast it into the sky?" Kirk asked strangely.

General William sighed: "I have sent out a bomber formation to bomb this hard rock day and night. But the Japanese army is really good at choosing defensive locations. This rock is so strong that even if the bomber's bomb hits it head-on,

It only left a crater. What's more, the cliff was very smooth and the area was not large, so the bomb's hit rate was very low. If it hit, it would roll down and explode. After three days of bombing, it had little effect."

"As for the gunboats," William smiled bitterly: "You know the hit rate of gunboats has always been a big problem. Moreover, my captains complained that this reef is like the devil's head. Although the aim is accurate, it always deflects.

Phenomenon. The reef is very close to the position of the 1st Navy Division, and several shellings have caused accidental damage."

Kirk's team looked at each other and shouted in unison: "Mental misdirection?"

Wang Han mused: "From the descriptions of the captains, it is indeed very similar to the conqueror's mental misdirection."

"What about the engineer blasting?" Kirk refused to give up: "There will be no problem with the engineer blasting, right?"

"There is a cannon and six machine guns inside, and there are no blind spots for shooting." General William said bitterly: "There are also many sharpshooters. I sent the engineers from the Army's First Division to try to blow up the reef three times. In addition to losing 200 good guys,

Outside, I found nothing.”
