: 1219 Heights
"No retreat allowed! Yes! Hold on! You only need to hold on for another 10 minutes and the reinforcements will arrive!" General Joseph Stilwell, the commander of the Second Army of the US Army, shouted loudly into the telephone receiver.
He hung up the telephone receiver forcefully, and then hurriedly asked a division commander standing beside him, "Damn it! How far is the reinforcements from Hill 3?"
"They are already on Hill 3! The Japanese army also attacked them on the flanks, and their advance was very slow." The division commander, with sweat on his face, replied with some embarrassment.
He couldn't help but be embarrassed. A battalion of his combat troops was intercepted on the periphery of Hill 3, less than 500 meters away from the main peak that needed reinforcements, but it was unable to attack.
The Japanese had set up a line of defense along the path of his troops, and hundreds of Japanese soldiers had been fighting there for almost 20 minutes.
"Damn it! Let them attack quickly! I've assigned all the artillery to you, it's so difficult for you to break through a position?" Stilwell raised his voice and scolded quickly.
President Roosevelt repeatedly emphasized the concept of time in yesterday's meeting, and he ordered all American combat troops to hurry up and catch up with the Germans!
What does it mean to catch up with the Germans? It means that they are already slow and have been left behind.
This is something that all American military officers cannot tolerate, and it is something they are unwilling to admit.
In their opinion, the United States is the most powerful country in the world. They won the last war and are destined to win this one.
Therefore, all the US troops fighting on the islands of New Guinea were given death orders by their superiors, ordering them to break through the Japanese defense lines as soon as possible.
Just this morning, the U.S. military captured a highland code-named 3, and when they were preparing to continue their assault on the crumbling Japanese positions ahead, they encountered a fierce counterattack from Japanese soldiers.
The 6th Division of the Japanese Army, which had been recharged for a long time, finally returned to the battlefield at the juncture of survival and death.
Numerous Japanese soldiers with bayonets launched a long live charge, which once beat the Americans back in a daze.
Taking advantage of the chaos of the retreat of American soldiers, the Japanese encircled Hill 3 and surrounded a US infantry battalion on the high ground.
The U.S. military, who recovered, began to fight back desperately to save their companions. The positions were filled with the bodies of soldiers from both sides, but the Japanese encirclement on the No. 3 height was still unsolved.
"Let your 1st regiment commander personally go up to command! Put the 2nd battalion on top too! Within 10 minutes! I want your troops to attack Hill 3!" General Stilwell was suffocating and pinched his waist with both hands. Angrily ordered.
His original battle plan today was to capture the other two highlands behind Hill 3. But now it seems that when it is night time, he can only stabilize the No. 3 height at most.
Before launching the attack, he was full of confidence that the fighting in New Guinea would be over in two days at the latest.
Because the U.S. military has hoarded a lot of ammunition this time, and let the 1st Army and the 2nd Army launch an attack together, the purpose is to distinguish a winner in New Guinea as soon as possible.
But the battle has been going on for almost a day. Most of the combat troops of the US military are still struggling near the front lines they previously controlled, and there is no sign of a large-scale breakthrough at all.
I have to admit that the ability of the Japanese army to dig holes is innate, and their combat effectiveness in the mountains is at least five times higher.
After almost a day of hard fighting, the American soldiers and the Japanese soldiers were extremely tired, but both sides were still constantly investing in new troops, trying to finally decide the outcome here.
On High No. 3, the grenades shot by the Japanese grenade launchers fell one by one. For the first time, the American soldiers felt the strength of the enemy's firepower.
At such close range, the supporting artillery fire was no longer effective. The two sides crowded into the same trench, using bayonets and teeth to tell the difference between the two.
The American infantry battalion stationed on Height 3 had suffered heavy losses at this time, and it was Pearl Harbor's national hatred that supported their unwillingness to surrender.
These American soldiers were not as squeamish as they thought. They used the terrain to set up machine gun bunkers, and used all the weapons they could find to stop the Japanese army storming up the mountain.
A few minutes ago, the American infantry battalion, which was full of more than 760 people, had lost less than 500 people because of the crazy Japanese attack.
They huddled on the commanding heights and deployed a circular defensive position to stubbornly block the Japanese counterattack.
It is a pity that the reinforcements have been missing for a long time, the losses of the US troops guarding the position are getting worse and worse, and the ammunition is about to run out.
Less than 600 meters away, another US infantry battalion ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is desperately approaching the friendly troops stationed on the high ground.
They were stubbornly blocked by the Japanese army, and they just advanced a trench, and paid a heavy price of 40 killed in action.
However, the attacking American infantry battalion did not give up, and still tried to move forward. Just after General Stilwell issued the order to continue the attack, more American troops joined the attack sequence.
On the front of the narrow position, the U.S. military put in tanks, and also added a full infantry battalion in one breath, and a full 800 people continued to attack.
The Japanese soldiers were bundled with grenades and died with the US tanks in their arms. The Japanese soldiers who had been shot out of bullets were not willing to take a step back while holding bayonets and fighting the American troops who had entered the trenches.
The two sides fought bloodlessly on the periphery of No. 3 Heights. In the end, the US military commanded by Stilwell was not able to attack No. 3 Heights to save their comrades within 10 minutes.
After 40 minutes, the U.S. military finally broke through the Japanese defense line and once again attacked Hill 3. There they were not able to see their comrades, waiting for them were more than 100 Japanese soldiers.
Once again, the battle for the No. 3 Highland was not too tragic, because many of these Japanese troops were without bullets and could only use their bayonets desperately to abandon their sons.
What they were stepping on were the soldiers of the US military stationed on the No. 3 height who had run out of ammunition and food and had been killed by the Japanese army. There were nearly 800 American soldiers stationed on the No. 3 height. The Japanese did not take a single prisoner.
The corpses piled up like mountains. After the American soldiers rushed to the high ground with their own weapons, they did not leave a single Japanese living hole. The American soldiers and Japanese soldiers who killed the red-eyed soldiers have already thrown the word "humanity" into the sky.
