This is the second time Xia Yuan has been bombarded. This kind of bombardment is still within the tolerance range. After all, this level of bombing is simply child's play compared with Shangganling.

But he still felt as if the end of the world had come. The earth shook, the artillery roared, and the shells fell on the ground along with a large amount of soil. There was falling soil everywhere, the whole world was gray, and the bodies of American soldiers were also everywhere.

It was bombed by heavy artillery and mortars.

No firelight could be seen, only the diffuse gunpowder smoke could be seen. The air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke and blood, mixed together, making it extremely pungent and unpleasant.

The fortifications on the slopes had been blown to bits by artillery shells, and a hole had been opened in the trenches.

The sound of artillery continued for five or six minutes. After the sound of artillery stopped, the entire breakthrough slope was filled with gunpowder smoke. The soil on the ground was covered with shrapnel. Broken clothes and severed limbs were everywhere. There was no snow anymore and the soil was all gone.

turned black.

"They're coming up!"

Xia Yuan poked his head out of the trench where half of his body was buried, spat out the sand in his mouth, and shouted loudly.

After not seeing any movement from Zhu Weifeng for a long time, Xia Yuan was startled. While checking the bullets and grenades, he shouted: "Zhu Weifeng! Zhu Weifeng! How are you!?"

Zhu Weifeng's intermittent voice came from the slope, "I, I'm fine." There was a hint of weakness in the voice, "I...I'll cover you."

Hearing the sound of the heavy machine gun, Xia Yuan was still worried about Zhu Weifeng's physical condition, but when he saw so many American troops rushing towards him, he did not care about them. He fired a grenade and threw it over. The grenade that exploded in the air caused heavy casualties to the American troops. After throwing out several

After firing the grenade, he took out a big eight-pellet grenade, shook off the dirt on the gun, and quickly pulled the trigger at the oncoming U.S. troops.

Bullets penetrated the bodies of the US troops one by one. In less than two minutes, more than 20 corpses were lying on the road where the US troops charged.

Seeing that the enemy's firepower was so fierce, the U.S. military could not recharge it at all, so they turned around, abandoned the wounded, and retreated. It was estimated that the enemy's heavy artillery would bomb again soon.

Li Laicai touched it and said, "I have resisted. Where is Zhu Weifeng?"

Xia Yuan blew the empty magazine, took out bullets from the bullet bag and pressed them inside. He stopped him and said: "Up there, don't go there yet. The enemy has been pushed back. It is estimated that there will be a second round of bombing in a while."

, find a bunker to hide first."

Then he shouted again: "Zhu Weifeng, how are you?"

Zhu Weifeng's weak voice came from the bunker: "You can still hold on, don't worry."

"Okay!" Xia Yuan nodded heavily: "Hold on, we will be safe when support arrives. Come on, Brother Cai, use the engineer shovel and dig deeper. The US artillery will come over soon."

They have to hold on to the small slope in front of them and wait for reinforcements to arrive. The US military's defense in Xingxingli has already shown loopholes. As long as they hold this place firmly and wait for the reinforcements to arrive to expand the results and help other troops break into the US military's forward positions, then today

It’s just around the corner to capture Xinxingli in the evening.

Zhu Weifeng was responsible for fire support, Xia Yuan was responsible for strikes, and Li Laicai was responsible for logistics.

The three men had a very clear division of labor. Xia Yuan relied on the favorable terrain in the trench surrounded by earth slopes to throw grenades one after another at the US forward position within a hundred meters of the small earth slope, severely attacking the US military and losing two more soldiers.

After more than ten grenades were fired, no American troops could be seen within a hundred meters of the small slope.

Li Laicai dug a bunker, looked at Xia Yuan's movements, and grinned: "Your bomb-dropping skills are really amazing, no worse than the Japanese grenades."

Xia Yuan leaned in the bunker, looked at Li Laicai's dark face, and grinned, "Not even close...I..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sharp whistling of artillery shells above his head, and then the shells landed in the newly dug fortifications. The soil was suddenly thrown into the air by the exploding shells, and a new round of shelling arrived.

This round of shelling is obviously more violent than the previous round. The enemy also knows the importance of this position. If the Volunteer Army is allowed to tear open the opening from here, their defense line will shrink and the difficulty of holding on will be greatly increased. The position is

In the game, every time you gain a position, you get closer and closer to losing it.

This round of shelling lasted for ten minutes, and such a small hilltop was covered by fierce artillery fire from the US military.

In the distance, in front of the front battlefield of the 239th Regiment, a company commander turned to look at the movement coming from the other side, "What's going on over there? Why did the US artillery start bombing their forward positions?"

The company commander walked over quickly and said, "I just received news that a three-person combat team of the 7th Interleaved Company touched a slope behind the US military's forward position and captured the slope. The regiment headquarters is mobilizing troops to prepare from that slope.

If we attack from a certain position, as long as they can hold on, our army can use that position to tear open the enemy's defense line. But it depends on whether they can hold on."

The company commander looked at the flickering firelight in the distance and couldn't help but frown: "Three people? Under such a fierce artillery attack, even thirty people may not be able to defend it."

Director Lian said: "It's really possible. Do you know the defense map that was obtained during the general attack of the regiment? The soldier who painted the defense map is in this three-person group, and according to the regiment leader, this soldier

He single-handedly broke into the U.S. military station in Xiajieyuli and blew up the enemy's artillery positions and fuel supplies. The U.S. military in Xiajieyuli suffered heavy casualties that night. After the war, first-class combat heroes had no choice but to run away.

.”

The company commander widened his eyes and said thoughtfully: "No wonder, no wonder they can rush in, but it depends on whether they can hold on. After all, cannonballs don't have eyes."

Other companies were also more or less aware of the changes in the US bombardment position. As a commander, it is the most basic to observe the battlefield situation. After receiving the information from the 7th interleaving company, the commander of the 239th Regiment quickly made a decision.

In order to find a countermeasure, two companies were transferred back and cooperated with the seventh interleaved company to launch an attack on the target high slope.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The general attack time is set in twenty minutes, because it takes time to mobilize the troops. Yu Xingguodao, commander of the 239th Regiment: "Tell the 7th Interleaving Company that they must be allowed to attack on the small slope."

The troops hold on to the small slope, our reinforcements will arrive soon!"

When the order from the regiment headquarters was hurriedly passed to the seventh interleaved company, Wu Qianli had been watching the artillery fire ahead. Yu Congrong couldn't help but said: "Company commander, let us go. With such fierce artillery fire, the three of them cannot hold out for long."

of."

"The U.S. military has noticed that place and has deployed additional troops around the small slope. The small group of troops cannot fill it up. They have to wait until support arrives to break through in one fell swoop. The order from the superiors has not yet been issued, so mobilization will take time."

Wu Qianli felt as if he was sitting on a volcano. These were his soldiers. How could he not know that it was a miracle that the three of them could hold on under such a fierce artillery attack?

The actions of the three people undoubtedly caught the US military by surprise. Under Xia Yuan's bomb-dropping ability, even the US troops around the small slope were repelled. If Xia Yuan and the others can hold on, the internal and external cooperation will definitely be able to tear apart.

The US military's forward position, but it depends on whether they can hold on.

After all, that area is an open area. It is impossible to send out a single reinforcement force. If you rush up, you will be discovered.

The only way is for them to attack from the front, while Xia Yuan and the others cover on the flanks to maximize the impact of this nail. Mei Sheng came over and handed the order document from the regiment to Wu Qianli, "Look at the order from your superiors.

.”

"Brother, how many more shells do we have?"

Wu Qianli glanced at the document, looked away, and turned to look at Lei Gong, who was smoking a dry cigarette and had a face of dust and ice.

Lei Gong replied: "There are only two mortar shells left."

"Mortar shells." Wu Qianli looked a little solemn and turned around and said: "Keep the two shells to help Xia Yuan and the others relieve the pressure when they wait for the general attack. They will hold on for twenty minutes."

He turned to Pinghe and Yu Congrong and said: "Yu Congrong, you lead a squad of soldiers to harass the US military positions in the front. Pinghe, take the opportunity to see if you can find a favorable position to snipe Xia Yuan and the others. Be sure to

Help them relieve stress."

"yes!"

"Instructor, gather the troops immediately and pack up the equipment. Reinforcements will arrive soon. This time we have two companies. If you can't chew them down, you have to chew them down!"

"good!"

Xiaotupo experienced another round of enemy artillery attacks. With the cover of artillery fire, the US military surrounded Xiaotupo from three sides. Except for the direction where Xia Yuan and the others came, there were no US troops. US troops appeared in all other directions, including in the west.

US military tanks.

The situation on the battlefield changed. In just over half an hour, the small slope in front of us became a battleground between the US military and the volunteers.

Capturing the small slope will threaten the enemy's forward position and tear apart their defense line. If it cannot be captured, tonight's battle will continue for a long time. When dawn comes, the US military planes arrive, and the volunteers'

The situation will be even worse.

Of course, the number of troops deployed by the US military was not large, only two platoons, about 70 or 80 people. The previous battle also caused heavy casualties to the US military in Xinxingli. In addition, the main force of the 81st Division of the Volunteer Army joined the battlefield. They

A large number of troops are needed to fight against the main force of the volunteers, and there are not many troops that can be mobilized to attack the small slope in front of them.

During the interval between shelling, Xia Yuan spit out a mouthful of dirt, used night vision to quickly observe, and shouted to the two of them: "The number of US troops is about two platoons. Brother Laicai, you are responsible for guarding the east side. I will take a look at the west side."

, Brother Laicai..."

He didn't hear any movement, so he turned his head and saw Li Laicai lying on the ground holding a gun in the trench in the distance. The cotton clothes on his back were broken and dripping with blood.

"Come on Brother Cai!"

Xia Yuangang crawled over, and a new round of shelling arrived. The soil was released, and the earth shook under the roar of the artillery fire. He could only curl up, and after the shelling passed, he ran over and helped Li Laicai up. He touched his neck and noticed Li Laicai's neck.

His body was still beating, so he breathed a sigh of relief. He was not dead, but just passed out.

"Zhu Weifeng, Zhu Weifeng."

When the shells stopped, Xia Yuan was shocked and immediately shouted. Intermittent heavy machine gunfire came from the fire point on the top of the high slope, but Zhu Weifeng's voice could no longer be heard. He was probably still holding on for his last breath.

"The US military in the east was held back by Zhu Weifeng, but his condition is not expected to be much better. I will have to rely on myself next."

After a round of shelling, the U.S. military began to launch a fierce attack on the volunteer position where he was located. Xia Yuan first settled Li Laicai and took all the ammunition to the west. The U.S. troops from the west followed the tanks and drove towards the small slope. After two rounds of

Most of the defenses on the small slope were destroyed by shelling, and every handful of dirt was filled with shrapnel.

The sound of heavy machine guns at the firepower point showed that Zhu Weifeng had not sacrificed yet and he still had a chance.

Xia Yuan set up the big eight pills and took the lead in attacking the US troops charging to the west. He pulled the trigger and shot and killed a US soldier who was carrying a walkie-talkie and was responsible for observation. He followed up with another shot and killed him.

A U.S. Army lieutenant.

The American soldiers who suddenly died two soldiers quickly lay down in the bunker or hid behind the bunker. They thought they were safe by hiding. However, the parabolic grenade in the sky landed steadily above their heads and behind the tank, accompanied by a dull sound.

As screams were heard, shrapnel shot out like sharp knives, easily penetrating the body armor of the American soldiers.

For a time, the U.S. military in the west was in chaos.

At the same time, the US military in the east had already arrived at Pinghe for sniping. Under the cover of Yu Congrong, they quickly approached the enemy's forward position, got down on a reverse slope, and used the M1 Garand rifle in their hands to snipe the enemy.

Sha, in cooperation with Zhu Weifeng, successfully repelled this wave of enemy attacks.
