Chapter 25 Fierce battle, fast consumption of ammunition
The enemy was attacking so intensively that Xia Yuan didn't even need to take aim. He kept pulling the trigger, and the big eight bullets killed the enemy one after another. When the enemy approached, he fired the grenade and killed the enemy.
Blast back.
However, the number of enemies was too great. Company Commander Gao received news from all fronts that the battle was at its most intense. Company Commander Gao issued an order: "Hold Ganling on the Five Sacred Mountains!! Even if it means fighting,
Even if it’s all gone, we can’t lose our position!”
The leading soldiers charged desperately, followed by the continuous artillery fire, washing away our army's forward positions over and over again. There were basically only a dozen soldiers stationed in each position, scattered on the position in combat groups, tenaciously facing the enemy
of blocking.
On the spacious position, almost every soldier has his own area and personal goals. Since the enemy's artillery fire is too dense, it is impossible to send a large number of troops to Shangganling. Our army can only adopt the tactics of small groups of soldiers, and the idea of a small group of soldiers is also
What Xia Yuan proposed was to take each class as a unit and hold the position one class at a time.
This can effectively reduce the huge casualties caused by the enemy's fierce artillery fire, and can sacrifice a small number of troops in exchange for the majority of the enemy's troops.
The sun rose slowly, and Xia Yuan had lost all his grenades. He kept changing his position, firing the big eight bullets continuously, sending bullets into the enemy's chest one after another. In his current forward position
The enemy's corpses were piled high on the ground. The enemy's artillery fire fell on the position, and what was rolled up was not soil, but blood and flesh.
When all the bullets carried by Squad Leader Hu were gone, he used grenades to hit them. When the grenades were lost, he threw stones. The enemy was crazy, and our soldiers were even crazier. Retreating meant that the battle had failed. At this moment, the two sides were competing.
The will is compared to who is not afraid of life and death.
The battle lasted for an hour. The soldiers of the first class suffered too many casualties. All the bullets they carried were used up. There was no time to go back to replenish the bullets. Some of the forward positions had been captured. At the critical moment, the soldiers of the second class carried a large number of ammunition.
Weapons and ammunition came to reinforce the first squad, and even Company Commander Gao and Instructor Lin also participated in the battle with guns in hand.
"Comrade Xia Yuan, this is the grenade our squad leader asked us to bring you."
In the crater, two soldiers came over and handed over all the grenades they had on them.
Xia Yuan leaned in the crater, with no expression on his pitch-black face. He took the grenade and without saying a word, he fired the grenades one by one and threw them far away. He threw the grenades into the center of the enemy's team.
The grenade exploded over the enemy, and many American soldiers were seriously injured by the shattered shrapnel.
The two soldiers' eyes were filled with brilliance, and they admired Xia Yuan more and more in their hearts. After admiration, they quickly jumped into the battle with their guns in hand.
The fierce battle has lasted for an hour.
It was already six o'clock in the morning, but the battlefield was filled with smoke. Through the thick smoke, only the dark yellow outline of the sun could be seen.
Smoke was billowing on the position, guns were roaring, and the grass and trees were whimpering. What appeared in front of them was a mess. Before, there were trenches and traffic ditches that were as deep as one person. Now they can't even cover their knees. All the dug-out fortifications
They were all plowed to the ground by enemy artillery fire, and the soldiers had to lie down in the craters to continue fighting.
The bunker where Xia Yuan was located also turned into a crater formed by the falling enemy shells. The enemy's bullets whizzed through his head, forcing him to lower his head and hide his body in the crater. The addition of the second squad basically reversed the situation.
Occupied, the enemy like locusts finally could not withstand the firepower of the volunteers on the Shangganling defense line and had to start to retreat.
But when the enemy began to retreat, the US aircraft, artillery and tanks began to roar again, and shells continued to scream in the sky.
There was flying mud everywhere on the battlefield.
Company Commander Gao shouted, asking instructor Lin to send out a signal flare, asking the volunteers behind the mountain to support artillery fire and attack the retreating U.S. troops. However, the signal flare was already in the air, but there was no movement of our artillery fire. He looked up and looked,
I understood immediately.
Wherever there is the shadow of the signal bomb, there is thick smoke and dust everywhere, covering the entire Shangganling. The signal bomb from the mountain side cannot be seen from behind.
"I'll make a call!" Instructor Lin said, holding the gun.
"It's too late. The enemy has already escaped. There is no need to waste any more shells." Company Commander Gao looked at the retreating US troops and immediately shouted: "Let the soldiers dig trenches again! The enemy will organize an attack again soon!"
"Why!"
Instructor Lin got up and went to inform the soldiers on the position. A shell landed next to Instructor Lin. There was a boom, and Company Commander Gao's ears buzzed. When he turned his head, Instructor Lin could no longer be seen.
He was suddenly startled and shouted: "Instructor! Instructor!"
There was no sign of the instructor anywhere, but a crater was left where instructor Lin stood up just now. Next to it fell a broken leg wrapped in rags, dripping with blood, and you could see the bones.
Captain Gao was suddenly stunned.
"Company Commander, Company Commander, the enemy is coming up again!"
Amidst the noisy artillery fire, some soldiers shouted.
Company Commander Gao calmed down and didn't care about anything. He lay down in the crater, straightened his hat that was blown away by the shock wave spread by the shell, and set up his binoculars to look down the mountain.
It was like attending a temple fair in front of the mountain. There were enemy helmets hanging around everywhere. It was estimated that there were three to four battalions of troops. In order to attack the 597.9 Highland, the enemy also spent a lot of money. The troops of these three to four battalions were among the enemy's sixteen
With the fire support of the artillery battalion, thirty tanks, and forty aircraft, they launched another fierce attack on Shangganling.
Their main attack was on Position No. 7 of the Shangganling Forward Position. There were only one squad of soldiers from the Fourth Platoon of our Ninth Company stationed at Position No. 7. Except for the fact that there were no enemies behind them, the other three sides were surrounded by enemies. Such an inconspicuous person
On the hilltop, the enemy used dozens of artillery pieces and more than ten tanks and armored vehicles, and nearly two battalions of troops attacked the No. 7 position.

was beaten back.
A squad of more than ten soldiers withstood the enemy's heavy firepower and withstood the enemy's attack. They held their position for several hours and repelled dozens of enemy attacks. In the end, only two wounded soldiers in the tunnel were left alive.
After coming down, other soldiers died on position 7.
The loss of Position 7 made the battle in the rear become more difficult.
The four platoons holding position No. 2 and Position 11 also encountered a fierce enemy attack. Comrade Zhao Fengshou was on the battlefield for the first time. He listened to the deputy squad leader's words and followed the deputy squad leader closely when he was at the forward position of the enemy's No. 2 position.
, holding 50 charges, arrived at the forward position of the second position, where they blocked the advancing US troops.
The failure rate of the 50-shot gun is very high. After firing a few shots, it will often get stuck and fail to fire several times. Under such circumstances, the volunteer soldiers still tenaciously resisted the enemy's onslaught, and the enemy's rounds of artillery fire continued.
Flowers continued to bloom on the highlands of Shangganling. Zhao Fengshou held his gun and suppressed the fear in his heart. He shot at the enemy and threw grenades. The short battle reduced his inner fear a lot.
"You can fight!" the deputy squad leader shouted happily, holding a gun. He ran over, stuffed the grenade in his arms into Zhao Fengshou, and said solemnly: "Zhao Fengshou! You will become a combat hero! I
believe!"
Zhao Fengshou showed a smile on his face.
The deputy squad leader said before leaving: "You must protect yourself!"
After saying that, he stood up.
Suddenly, an enemy artillery shell fell in front of Zhao Fengshou. The shrapnel produced by the explosion directly tore the deputy squad leader into pieces, and he was also knocked unconscious by the sudden earthquake explosion.
When he fell down again, he vaguely heard shouts. When Zhao Fengshou woke up again, two hours had passed. He had witnessed the death of his best deputy squad leader and suffered from severe shell shock. Faced with
The menacing enemy was fearful of fighting again. Under such circumstances, the squad leader did not blame Zhao Fengshou, but arranged him in the tunnel of the No. 2 position for a short rest. The squad leader led his men to the No. 2 position again.
Confront the enemy on the battlefield.
There are already many seriously injured soldiers from the fourth row in the No. 2 tunnel. They all came down from the position and were seriously injured. Some had their arms broken off, some were blind and could no longer fight, and some soldiers lost both arms.
Legs, unable to move.
Zhao Fengshou only had a scratch on his arm. He squatted in the tunnel holding a gun. He looked at the other soldiers in the tunnel and felt the tunnel constantly vibrating. The fear in his heart was layered one after another. Leaning opposite him was a
His eyes were blinded by artillery shells, and blood was constantly seeping from the wrapped bandages. There was a first-aid kit in his arms. The soldier held the first-aid kit and was not willing to use it on himself.
The soldier seemed to be aware of Zhao Fengshou who was squatting opposite him. He took out the first aid kit that he was reluctant to use, handed it to Zhao Fengshou opposite him, and asked weakly: "Comrade, are you injured? I'm still here.
There is a first aid kit, you need to use it first."
Zhao Fengshou sat on the ground with his gun in his arms. He raised his head and looked at the soldier in front of him. The gauze binding his eyes was dirty and blackened by gunpowder smoke. The blood flowing out of the injured eye infected the wrapped bandage. Under the dark
Two blood stains formed on his face.
He said to himself: "My eyes were injured and I can no longer see. The first aid kit is left for those in need. They need this first aid kit more than me."
Zhao Fengshou didn't answer, and looked intently at the soldier in front of him, feeling panicked in his heart.
The sound of gunfire intertwined to form a cruel melody. On the battlefield, the squad leader led the whole class of soldiers to resist vigorously, but he stayed in the tunnel with only minor injuries. Zhao Fengshou clenched his teeth, his teeth turned black.
The gun in his hand was tightly squeezed with his palm...
"Comrade, comrade." The soldier couldn't see and shouted softly, but Zhao Fengshou was no longer in front of him.
The battle on the second position was extremely difficult, with flames burning everywhere. Enemies could be seen everywhere under the mountain. In the distance, tanks kept roaring. Every time they fired, the sand and dust on the ground around the tanks were blown away.
It vibrates and spreads continuously.
The cannonballs hit the top of the mountain and the whole mountain shook.
Every position encountered a crazy attack from the enemy.
The situation at Position 1 improved slightly. Xia Yuan relied on his powerful sniper ability to kill the enemy one bullet after another. He kept wandering around the position, looking for bomb craters one after another, and
Use your own sniper advantage to quickly support volunteer soldiers in frontline positions under great pressure.
Xia Yuan's eyes were extremely sharp, and his vision was constantly extending. The bullets penetrated the enemy's big soldier holding a recoilless gun with his sight. The shells around him exploded one after another, almost burying him. Xia Yuan picked up the shovel and positioned himself.
He kept digging, expanding the bunker under him, and digging a groove at the sniper position, so that even if a shell fell next to him, the broken shrapnel would not hurt him.
However, because the enemy's firepower was too fierce, the trench he dug was quickly buried. Xia Yuan continued to shoot while cleaning up the trench under him. The bullets on his body were also rapidly consumed. On the defense line of the forward position
, a large number of enemy corpses have been piled up.
Xia Yuan's marksmanship became more accurate and more proficient. The soldiers on the front line were brave and fearless. They were not worried that their side would be broken through by the enemy because they had a strong backing behind them. The more they fought, the more courageous they became.
Let out all the bullets in your body.
By nine o'clock in the battle, they had repelled several enemy counterattacks. The enemy's artillery fire basically destroyed the fortifications on the surface of the position. There were no complete position fortifications. The soldiers fought on the side and took advantage of the gaps in the enemy's attacks to attack the surrounding areas.
The fortifications are reinforced.
Smoke enveloped the entire battlefield, blocking the sky and the sun.
After the fierce battle, the ammunition was getting less and less, and the number of personnel was getting smaller and smaller. Company Commander Gao was completely black, and his clothes were dyed black and yellow. Squad leader Hu reported that they had beaten back twenty enemies.
In one attack, fifteen comrades were sacrificed.
Company Commander Gao asked: "Are there any wounded?"
The health worker said from the side: "Every comrade is injured, but I am not allowed to carry it or bandage it. They say that they can continue to fight."
The health worker was very touched by the persistence of the wounded. He felt very aggrieved that he could not perform his duties when he was needed most. The tense combat situation and high sense of responsibility made the soldiers forget about themselves. Company Commander Gao only
Only by giving strict orders can they temporarily stop fighting and bandage their wounds.
The uninjured soldiers quickly returned to the tunnel to replenish their weapons and ammunition.
After the death of Instructor Lin, Company Commander Gao was responsible for the ammunition consumption of the entire position. Female health worker Wang Lan originally wanted to come to the surface position with the health workers of the Seventh Company to rescue the wounded, but Company Commander Gao refused and asked her to stay in the tunnel to take care of them.
As the wounded were brought down, ammunition consumption was counted.
Tunnel No. 1 contains enough ammunition for the volunteer soldiers to use for more than a month. After the battle begins, each tunnel needs to be replenished with ammunition. In just half a day of battle, the consumption of ammunition is very alarming, and the wear and tear of the guns
