Just in Western Europe, when both the Allies and the Allies were enjoying the peacetime after the war, the battle between the United States and Japan had been going on for three weeks on the distant island of New Ireland, and gunfire and war never stopped. The originally sparsely populated New Ireland Island, lushly trees, was completely turned into a hell of blood and fire by both sides of the war. Looking from the air, the smoke of gunpowder and the burnt woods were like scars on the island of New Ireland.

The cross of the scope aimed at a steel helmet that emerged from the trench opposite. It was 600 yards, the wind was eastward, level 2, and the air humidity was high. Second Lieutenant Boole carefully adjusted his scope. He didn't care that the morning dew had wet the camouflage covering him. This feeling of wetness and coldness did not make him feel uncomfortable at all, because at this moment, all his energy was focused on the target opposite!

Take a deep breath and exhale again, Boer decisively excited! The 7.62MM*63MM bullet flew towards the target in the distance with the greeting of death. In less than 1.5 seconds, the head with the helmet in the distance suddenly spewed out a blood light, which was clearly visible in the dawn sunshine.

"35!" Lieutenant Boole scored a mark on his butt stock, which represented a new record! Through the morning light, Lieutenant Boole looked at his watch. It was almost 6 o'clock. The hunting this morning was over. Relying on the two results he obtained today, he could get a bonus of 200 US dollars. Of course, here, these dollars are far less than a clean new military uniform and 5 additional meals.

A few minutes later, a sound of rumbling artillery came from one's own position. The routine artillery bombardment began again this morning. These shellings usually aimed at the Japanese military facilities and toilets that were determined in advance. Yes, it was the toilet! According to the German experience on the Western Front, every morning at dawn, it was the time when the toilets in the trench were the highest utilization rate. At this time, there was a great probability that the artillery would be killed. At the same time, the US snipers responsible for "morning classes" could also take the opportunity to withdraw from the frontline positions. For Lieutenant Boer, this was undoubtedly the ringtone of "subsidy", which made people feel relaxed and friendly!

"Boer, you did a pretty job. Today you killed 2 more. If you can reach 40, you can go back to the rear to be an instructor." Observer Robert said to Boer. He was hiding less than 10 meters away from Boer, responsible for covering, observing the enemy situation and helping Boer confirm his record.

"Impossible, do you know, John died yesterday and was pierced through his chest by a 7.7MM bullet. When the bullet was shot in the front, it was a small hole. When it came out from behind, it was a wound bigger than your lunch box, and half of his lungs were broken." Ensign Boole said expressionlessly. "In our hunter company, there are only three people who have achieved more than 20 records. We also have to teach the newcomers that we can't go back at all, and I'm not willing to go back."

"Dum bomb? Did the Japanese use the Daum bomb?" John's face changed slightly.

"Yes, I saw the transformed bullet with my own eyes. Damn Japanese, Damn British." Boer cursed and looked into the distance. It seemed that there was a big move again today. Is the attack going to start again? Boer said in his heart.

At the same time, the old black man Pershing was inspecting a position. At this moment, you can't see any difference between a US general and the soldiers next to him. Leather boots passed by the mud and water, and the walker's lower body was covered with mud and some unknown dirt. Pershing wore a steel helmet and looked at the Japanese position in the distance with a gloomy face. This is a position backed by hills and woods, and it is also a must-occupation by the US military. After occupying this place, the US military can transport a large number of artillery from the beachhead position to this relatively flat hilly area, and then use the cover of the mountains to attack the Japanese rear position. Therefore, both the US and the Japanese army are determined to win here!

"How is the Navy going? How much support can they provide when we need?" Pershing said to Marshall next to him.

"In terms of material supply, the Navy said that they can provide 120% of the arms ammunition we need, 115% of food and medicine, and 110% of special equipment. However, in terms of fire support, the Navy can only guarantee 85% of the ammunition projection. Considering the loss of equipment, the Navy believes that they can only guarantee 70% of the attack mission at most. In addition, in terms of the Air Force, the Navy can only guarantee air superiority over the head of the offensive troops, and ground attacks cannot be guaranteed." Marshall said.

"Damn it, did the Navy fall into a transport fleet?" Pershing said impatiently. "Didn't you tell them that this is the minimum requirement for our offensive this time? How can we destroy those strong firepower points without large caliber guns? Could it be bombed with explosives?"

"Uh, we did think about using explosives. For this reason, we even planned to dig an authentic tunnel under the Japanese fortress. However, the groundwater level was too low and the soil was not good, so it ended up failing." Marshall said helplessly.

"I don't care. When you go back, I will immediately send Benson an ultimatum to represent the US Army! When the attack three days later, the Navy must complete the task we requested! Otherwise, let him pray that I will die in this war! If I can return to the United States alive, I will definitely sue him in military court!" Pershing said word by word.

"In addition, Marshall, if I'm gone, then you have to shoulder your responsibility! Take Benson and Sims to court! For the 5,745 American soldiers who have died in this war and at least 4 times the injured. That's it!" Pershing's following sentence made Marshall's heart jump.

"It seems that the boss is really anxious." Marshall said in his heart. Is the US Navy capable of providing the firepower support required by Pershing now? Of course, it is capable of providing it, but it is just 2,100 rounds of 14-inch high-explosive bombs or semi-armor-piercing bombs, and 1,800 rounds of 12-inch shells. For the US Navy, which has more than three or more battleships, this ammunition delivery volume is nothing compared to the huge ammunition depot of the US fleet!

But why didn't the US Navy agree? Marshall, who is familiar with the inside story, knows that this is not Benson's fault! First of all, the US Navy has been providing firepower support to the Army, which was the case on the first day of the battle! Even after paying the price of more than 1,600 positions in the beach landing, the US Army has gained a firm foothold and established its own land artillery position, the naval destroyers and cruisers' naval guns still played a huge role in repelling the Japanese counterattack!
