"How many Japanese troops came out of the radar station?"

"There are two armored vehicles, two trucks and three sidecar motorcycles in front. Based on the full load, there should be a team of about fifty people. There is also a team of marching behind, and it is probably also a team."

"Driven half of the defenders in one breath? Humph, it seems that their commander has some vision."

Lieutenant White immediately turned his head and said to his soldiers: "People, cheer up. The enemy sent two squads over. The good news is that they were on a car and walking. We have the chance to defeat each one. Dick, you take your group and Major Gonzalez's men to the front to fight and block. At the beginning, the firepower is strong, and it is best to make the enemy unable to move forward. Fight and retreat behind and seduce the enemy's advance squad."

A burly American sergeant stood up and smiled and said, "Ha, I like this job! The guys in Group C, take the guys with me."

"Mons, you bring the gun team to support you in the back, and the target is the enemy's two armored vehicles. You will retreat immediately as long as you destroy them."

"I understand!" another strong American sergeant responded.

Lieutenant White again told Major Gonzalez: "Major, please don't fight your people, otherwise we will have to deal with two enemy teams at a time. Although both end up winning, it will inevitably increase unnecessary casualties."

"No problem." Major Gonzalez responded confidently.

In this way, six soldiers from the US Amphibious Special Forces followed the 14 soldiers of the Patnaugan Island Detachment of the Philippine Rebellion League and set up blocking positions more than one kilometer from the hill where the beacon was located. The gun team composed of four special forces soldiers also took place behind the blocking positions. Their leader Mons carried a square battery box and held a telescope with infrared night vision in his hand, squatting in the bushes and scanning the front with vigilantly.

"Note! The enemy convoy is here! Let's attack the van first, and load the armor-piercing bullets!" Mons whispered.

The ammunition hand took out a shell from the portable ammunition box, skillfully loaded it into the 80mm recoil-free cannon, and then reported in a low voice: "The armor-breaking bullet is loaded!"

Mons moved to the recoilless cannon and lay down, placing his infrared telescope in front of the simple cannon's visual scope, allowing the shooter to accurately locate a vehicle within 1,000 meters of the start-up.

At the same time, in the machine gun tower of the second Japanese armored vehicle, Captain Nakata held the machine gun handle with a heavy face. Between returning to his own radar base and searching for enemy radio signal sources, he finally chose the latter because with his rich combat experience, he knew very well that the air defense weapons at his own base could not resist the fierce bombing of the enemy aircraft group. Now leading the team back is nothing more than just increasing casualties. Although the electronic reconnaissance equipment is expensive, it is manufactured in batches after all, and it is easy to replenish after the losses. Instead, it is more positive to find the enemy radio signal sources. It is likely to be the key to getting rid of the current predicament!

Suddenly, a fire flashed in the field in the distance, and a shell flew over with a strange roar, hitting the first armored vehicle accurately and accurately. This type of six-wheeled armored vehicle was developed and produced by the Japanese army based on battlefield experience after the first Haraha River conflict. Its off-road capabilities have been greatly improved compared with the past four-wheeled armored vehicles, and its own protection capabilities have also been improved. They were used extensively in the Chinese battlefield and in the Indian civil war, and performed more eye-catchingly. However, during the Japanese-Soviet War, their penetration capabilities were poor and their armored defenses were exposed. They were abused countless times by Soviet chariot troops and attack aircraft. The Japanese base camp had to ask them to launch a front-line equipment sequence in advance and distribute them to the occupied areas to suppress the people in the occupied areas and deal with the poorly equipped guerrillas.

Seeing that the car in front of him had a violent explosion from inside to outside, the driver of the second armored vehicle quickly turned, but the body of the vehicle tilted and fell into a sand pit on the side of the road. During the sharp turn, Captain Nakata was almost thrown out.

"What's going on?" he shouted.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see the road clearly." The driver replied apologetically, but he didn't know that his turn had actually saved everyone's lives in the car. After a moment, he could hear the strange screams sounded again, and the truck following behind was hit by direct artillery fire. More than 20 soldiers in the car were either killed or injured!

With two consecutive explosions, the ground battle on Patna Ugan Island began.

The explosion was still alive, and the wailings of the injured were all in my ears. Captain Nakata hurriedly got out of the car and muttered, "Where did those damn Philippine monkeys get the artillery?"

At this moment, a blood-stained stumbled to him: "Captain Nakata, we are ambushed, and there are enemy gunmen everywhere. You must be careful, it is best to return to the armored vehicle to command the battle."

Although the other party reminded him with kindness, Nakata scolded him dissatisfied: "I don't need someone to tell me what to do! Kimura-kun, I think you should go and bandage it quickly with the medical staff!"

In a blink of an eye, another shell came and hit the armored vehicle that was overturned by the side without any bias. The three crew members inside seemed to have no chance of surviving.

Seeing this, Nakata not only felt glad but was furious. He narrowed his eyes and observed the battle situation carefully, and found that the number of ambushers was far less than imagined. Apart from the strange cannon, their firepower was not worth mentioning at all.

So he switched his pistol to his left hand, pulled out the command knife with his right hand and raised it high: "Emperor's warriors, your enemies are just a group of guerrillas hiding in the grass and shooting arrows. Don't let them slip away from your bayonets! Follow me to attack!"

The non-commissioned officers and veterans echoed: "Attack and advance!"

In addition to the dead and seriously injured soldiers, more than 30 Japanese soldiers were advancing forward. Their attack formation seemed scattered, but in fact they were orderly, and they alternately covered each other, showing a good tacit understanding. Looking at the ambushers, when the artillery no longer showed their power, their firepower suddenly became much thinner. Moreover, in the environment of night battles, the shooting accuracy of both machine guns and rifles could not be compared with the day. It seemed that dozens of bullets could not kill a Japanese soldier. In this case, the distance between the two sides quickly narrowed, and the roar of the Japanese soldiers like wild animals immediately brought heavy psychological pressure to the ambushers.

According to the tactical arrangement of Lieutenant White, the soldiers of the US Amphibious Special Forces retreated while fighting. Although they were not facing the first-class Japanese field forces, as the battle progressed, they quickly felt that the oppressive machine guns from their opponents would be suppressed by Japanese light machine guns or attack by grenade launchers in a short or long shot. Even without modern night vision equipment, their accuracy was surprisingly high. After finally withdrawing to the hill where the beacon was located, the recoil-free cannon that had moved in advance began to provide fire support again. In addition, the condescending guns and bullets from the top of the hills, the Japanese straggler front was suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, Lieutenant White immediately sent out another group of special forces team members carrying infrared night vision devices, and asked them to detour from the left wing of the front line, and asked Major Gonzalez to send a team of troops to attack from the right wing with great fanfare, causing those Japanese soldiers who only knew how to attack and were unwilling to retreat into a situation where they were attacked from both sides.

After about twenty minutes of battle, except for a few Japanese officers and soldiers who were able to escape, most of the Japanese troops who arrived in the car were annihilated. Before the Japanese squad arrived at the battlefield, the US-Philippines joint combat forces had enough time to re-arrange the defense line. However, they did not wait for the second battle. The guerrillas monitoring the enemy situation outside the radar station followed news that the Japanese infantry hurriedly returned to the base shortly after the bombing began.

After two consecutive waves of bombings, the guerrilla soldiers tried to explore the roads entering and leaving the radar station through the Japanese army. Although they were blocked by the Japanese army and failed to penetrate the base, according to the situation they observed, the solid buildings used to store radar equipment, as well as the surrounding barracks, and the anti-aircraft artillery positions were bombed. The firepower of the surviving defenders was not strong, and after the guerrillas took the initiative to leave contact, they did not pursue, which was contrary to the Japanese military's usual combat habits.

Since the guerrilla reconnaissance operation brought very optimistic news, Lieutenant White left a team to guard the beacon with the assistance of guerrillas, and led his team to the Japanese radar base to confirm the specific results in order to report to the operation command. This time, when attacking the Japanese troops stationed in the Philippines, the US military does have several powerful killer weapons, including airborne electronic equipment used to interfere with the Japanese ground radar, radio beacons with special anti-jamming capabilities, and anti-radar bombs developed in combination with radio-guided bombs and radar wave detection and positioning technology. These weapons and equipment represent the most advanced military technology level of Western powers, and it is the first time to be used in actual combat. It is reasonable to knock the Japanese army out of nowhere.

Second Lieutenant White led a team to Patnaugan Island and established and guarded the temporary radio beacon site, not only to guide US carrier-based aircraft to destroy the Japanese land-based radar station on the island, remove the periphery of the Japanese defense circle, but also to provide precise navigation and positioning for the carrier-based aircraft troops to raid Manila for a long distance. While Second Lieutenant White led the commandos to the Japanese radar station, another group of US carrier-based aircraft launched an attack on the Japanese reconnaissance ships that continued to emit high-frequency radars in the southeastern waters of Luzon Island, while 398 carrier-based fighters and bombers that took off from eight aircraft carriers rushed towards Luzon Island with a dense formation...
