174: Chapter 174 Accidentally Injured
They were lucky; they actually didn't die.
"Liu Yang, let's keep climbing up."
Wang Ye said in a low voice.
At this point, they couldn't retreat. Retreating would inevitably lead to being discovered by the Little Devils, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and crawl forward.
"Okay." Liu Yang nodded heavily.
Subsequently, the two began to crawl forward.
They crawled at a slow speed, like turtles, terrified of attracting the attention of the Japanese Army.
They didn't know how much time had passed, but they had moved a significant distance forward, and the Japanese Army still hadn't discovered them.
At this moment, Wang Ye raised his head to glance at the bunker in front of them.
The bunker was now within reach. Wang Ye waved his hand, signaling Liu Yang to speed up.
Soon, they arrived at the base of the bunker.
This spot was truly a blind spot; they didn't need to worry about being seen by the Japanese Army inside the bunker.
Listening to the sound of machine-gun fire constantly coming from above, Wang Ye took out a grenade from his waist.
After pulling the pin, he threw it directly into the bunker's firing port above his head.
Immediately after, he heard the sounds of scrambling and panicked cries from inside.
Wang Ye couldn't understand what the Japanese Army inside were shouting.
Not even two seconds later, an explosion rang out.
The shouting of the Japanese Army inside stopped immediately.
Wang Ye was still a bit uneasy, so he tossed two more grenades inside.
The viewers in the livestream room saw Wang Ye's maneuver and immediately spammed "666".
"Brother Wang is awesome, he actually managed to sneak up on them."
"This play was huge."
"Keep throwing, there are two more bunkers nearby."
"That move was so cool."
After throwing those few grenades, Wang Ye immediately crept over to the side of another bunker.
As long as they had made it up, it was much safer up here than down below.
Because the Japanese Army were all holed up inside the bunkers, and there were no defensive structures for them outside at all.
Wang Ye crept in front of another bunker, where the Japanese Army were still firing continuously at the US Marines jumping down from the boats below.
Another two grenades went in.
Causing the Japanese Army inside to scatter in panic.
In the end, they still couldn't escape the blast radius of the grenades.
Liu Yang was also replicating Wang Ye's operation on the other side.
In just this short while, the two of them had silenced the Japanese Army in four bunkers.
Down below, the US Marines, who had been pinned down by the machine-gun fire of the Japanese Army, were overjoyed at the sight.
They naturally saw the two men's actions.
Just a moment ago, they were being mowed down like leeks by the Japanese Army's machine guns and anti-aircraft guns used in a flat-fire role.
Now that these guys had finally been dealt with, even though it was only temporary, it at least allowed them to catch their breath.
Taking advantage of this time, the US Marines kept jumping down from the boats.
The people in front were being pushed forward by the people behind.
But the people in front didn't want to continue moving forward.
Because moving forward meant getting shot.
This somewhat chaotic landing operation served as a harsh wake-up call for these US Marines.
Before they landed, the naval fleet had bombarded Iwo Jima with naval guns for over a day.
When they were on the boats, they thought that the Japanese Army on Iwo Jima were all dead, and even if there were survivors, they were nothing to fear.
With the powerful ships and guns of America, dealing with these Little Devils would be a piece of cake.
They just hadn't expected that this short two- or three-hour landing battle would completely stun them.
The Little Devils on Iwo Jima didn't open fire when they were landing; instead, they waited until they had swarmed onto the beachhead and were preparing to advance up the mountain before suddenly opening fire.
Once they opened fire, the soldiers and amphibious landing vehicles on the beachhead became sitting ducks.
They had absolutely no room to retreat; the soldiers in front were subjected to heavy fire, while the soldiers in the back kept disembarking from the boats.
These US Marines didn't understand why the firepower of the Little Devils on Iwo Jima was so intense.
Could it be that this day-and-a-half-long bombardment hadn't had any effect?
But now that things had come to this, they could only bite the bullet and land.
After all, if they retreated now, the casualties would be even greater.
Wang Ye and Liu Yang, acting like troublemakers, were giving the Japanese Army inside the bunkers a huge headache.
These Japanese Army bunkers had many tunnels inside; although the Japanese Army inside the bunkers had been blown up, new ones immediately rushed over to take over the bunkers again.
After Wang Ye and Liu Yang finished bombing the Japanese Army in the bunkers, they crouched back down below the bunkers.
At this moment, their grenades were all used up; only the guns in their hands were still usable.
Just as the two were waiting, a loud cannon blast suddenly came from not far away.
Wang Ye raised his head to look in the direction the cannon blast came from and saw the warships on the sea firing at the shore.
Wang Ye widened his eyes, "Holy crap, Liu Yang, look!"
Wang Ye immediately patted Liu Yang beside him, pointing at the warships on the sea.
"If in the previous game, China had warships like these, wouldn't they be invincible?" Wang Ye muttered in a low voice.
"Indeed." Liu Yang nodded. He looked at the warships in the distance and suddenly felt something was wrong:
"But, Brother Wang, why do I feel like this artillery fire seems to be aimed at us?"
"Huh? Is that so?" Wang Ye looked over and suddenly saw that a warship's naval gun seemed to be aimed in his direction.
"Damn, this really seems to be the case."
Wang Ye stood up.
The next moment, a huge explosion spark appeared where they were standing.
...
Looking at the four big characters "Game Over" in front of him, Wang Ye let out a string of profanities.
The viewers in the livestream room only heard the first word, and the rest was censored.
"Damn, what happened?"
"Uh, I'm not sure either, it seems they got bombed by a warship."
"What? This warship shelled its own people?"
"It seems like that, but it was probably meant to shell the Little Devils' bunkers, but it ended up shelling their own people along with them."
"That's insane. No wonder Brother Wang is so angry; he didn't die at the hands of the Little Devils, but died at the hands of his own people. If it were me, I'd be pissed off too."
"What a genius move. Can the people on the warship not see Brother Wang and the others?"
After cursing for a few minutes, Wang Ye gradually calmed down.
As for why he was able to calm down, it was because he received a warning from the channel moderator.
He took a glance at the comments in the livestream room, and the anger that had just subsided flared up again, almost uncontrollable.
He hadn't died at the hands of the Little Devils in the game just now, but had actually died at the hands of his own side.
Just thinking about it made him feel frustrated and miserable.
"Brothers, don't say anything, I accept it."
Wang Ye didn't dwell on this matter any further.
[Game Summary: Your combat was very heroic; you and your teammate penetrated deep into the enemy's position alone, with remarkable results. However, due to bad luck, you were hit by friendly fire. Overall rating: 75.]
Seeing this game summary, the anger in Wang Ye's heart flared up again.
"Bad luck," "hit by friendly fire," what a load of nonsense.
That was clearly like they didn't care at all, firing a shell directly at them.
Wang Ye even felt that the naval gun was like it was intentional, firing a shell right at their side.
Clearly, there were no Little Devils firing, yet this could still count as friendly fire.
Getting killed by his own warship was simply a dark chapter in his history.
At this moment, the viewers in the livestream room couldn't help but chuckle when they saw this game summary.
