Wang Lan was alarmed by the consumption of weapons and ammunition. The soldiers continued to send ammunition from the tunnels to the frontline battlefield. The injured soldiers stayed in the tunnels, regardless of their own safety, to help the volunteer soldiers fighting in the highlands go to the battlefield.
Bullets are loaded into the magazine.
After personally seeing Xia Yuan's terrifying combat capabilities, Captain Gao specially arranged for a group of soldiers to follow Xia Yuan, carrying two large eight-grain and large eight-grain magazines, and emptied a large eight-grain magazine in Xia Yuan
After loading the magazine, he quickly handed the replenished ammunition to Xia Yuan, thus reducing the time Xia Yuan had to press the bullets alone.
"Squad leader, the enemy is attacking again!!"
The soldiers in the forward position turned around and shouted, and Squad Leader Hu's dark face squirmed, "These idiots like Te Niang really don't give us any time to breathe! As per the old rules, keep it close and hit them! Have your grenades ready to greet them at any time!"
After the previous ammunition replenishment, the soldiers moved boxes of grenades and grenades to the forward position and placed them in trenches to prevent them from being hit by enemy shells. After quickly replenishing ammunition, the soldiers quickly returned to their fighting positions.
"Xia Yuan, the enemy is coming again!" The young soldier following Xia Yuan was only in his early twenties. He was already a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War and the War of Liberation, and joined the army at the age of twelve.
The two of them were digging trenches. Xia Yuan asked him to dig diagonally when digging the trenches, so as to effectively avoid the bombardment.
Hearing his voice, Xia Yuan raised his head. His dark face had been burned to pieces by the fire, and his lips were chapped, but his eyes were still bright.
"I saw it."
He didn't say much, just said in a deep voice.
Put down the shovel in your hand, pick up the gun, aim from a distance, pull the trigger, and the bullet swishes through the smoke-filled battlefield and penetrates the body of a big-headed soldier. The effective range of the Garand rifle is 750 meters, which is very suitable for
Long-range sniping, the soldiers began to evade in panic.
When one of the big soldiers fell to the ground, the other big soldiers reacted and began to dodge, but before they could see the enemy, the sound of bullets piercing the air fell into their ranks, and eight bullets were wiped out instantly.
The lives of eight top soldiers!
The counterattack that had just been organized by the bulk of soldiers showed signs of collapse after being attacked by Xia Yuan.
In the rear, the US lieutenant immediately realized that there were snipers on the enemy's position, and quickly requested their superiors to join the battle and effectively kill the enemy.
Xia Yuan's sniping ability is still very strong. On the one hand, his firearms proficiency has been greatly improved by constantly shooting. On the other hand, the enemy's attack method completely adopts the human sea tactic, which gives him the convenience of sniping routes.
"Good marksmanship!"
Amid the artillery fire, Squad Leader Hu looked intently and shouted loudly.
Other soldiers also shouted excitedly: "Just beat them like this and kill them all!"
The Battle of Shangganling was indeed brutal, with both sides investing more than 100,000 troops, but equally, if you can deal an effective blow to the enemy while protecting yourself, this is not an opportunity to gain experience. Danger and opportunity coexist. If you want to improve
, we must constantly test and improve ourselves on the edge of death.
In just half a day of fighting, the proficiency of firearm proficiency increased from 70,000 to 100,000, and the distance to upgrade was only 900,000. There was no joy on Xia Yuan's face that his proficiency had improved. On the contrary, he remained calm.
, he fired continuously, bullets whizzing from the high ground towards the American soldiers at the bottom of the mountain. Any big-headed soldier who raised his head to observe was shot dead by Xia Yuan.
The Volunteer Army's No. 1 Position relied solely on Xia Yuan to suppress the enemy and was unable to advance. The lieutenant of the bulk of the soldiers used a walkie-talkie to call for more intense artillery fire specifically to target the Volunteer Army soldiers at the No. 1 Position. The enemy's large-caliber heavy artillery fell on the hilltop.
It's like the end of the world. From a distance, you can only see huge thick smoke floating in the sky in the direction of Shangganling.
Under such fierce artillery fire, Xia Yuan was unable to raise his head. He could only open his mouth and squat in the newly dug trench. The constant shaking of the ground seemed like an earthquake. The soil soon buried him and the little soldier.
In the trench, I don't know how long passed, as if a century had passed. The enemy's artillery fire overhead gradually weakened, and Xia Yuan understood that a new round of enemy attacks had begun.
A new round of more violent attacks by the 'United Nations Army' began. The enemies were pressing down on the mountains and plains like a flock of sheep. Perhaps knowing the fact that there were enemy snipers on the high ground in front of them, the US military did not have the arrogance to attack in the first place.
, continuous attacks, continuous repulsions, familiar people around him died one by one, and the enemy's will to fight was being worn away.
Before they could rush to the enemy's position, the familiar gunfire rang out again.
In the enemy's position filled with a lot of gunpowder smoke, the enemy's snipers appeared again. Bullets penetrated the bodies of their companions one by one, and they fell heavily to the ground. Some people were timid, but the team supervising the team behind them did not
Let them go back. As soon as they crawled back to their own position, they saw the white flag waved on the position, and the machine guns of the supervising team opened fire on them. Entering is also death, retreating is also death, those who are alive and those in their hands are
The top soldiers of the "United Nations Army" howled in despair, and there were desperate cries and shouts from top to bottom.
Obviously the enemy is desperate.
In the afternoon, the battle in Shangganling was not over yet. Van Fleet, who had just announced the showdown operation through the Associated Press, received the news that the front line of Shangganling had encountered an unprecedented blockage. The US 7th Division and the Korean 2nd Division suffered heavy casualties. He felt a little embarrassed on his face.
Directly put the reserve troops into battle.
Shangganling, in front are those battered, exhausted, dusty soldiers, behind are soldiers with brand new clothes who have just entered the battle, without formation, like locusts covering the mountains and plains, swarming in, and foreign devils can be seen everywhere
figure.
On the frontier position filled with scorched earth and filled with gunpowder smoke, Squad Leader Hu stabilized his figure and immediately shouted: "Old Li, tell the company commander that the enemy is here again!"
Old Li's dark face squirmed: "Grandma Te, I thought it was over, but I went to call someone! Old Hu, just wait, I'll call the company commander right away!"
In the tunnel, Captain Gao came back alone. There was no instructor Lin beside him. The soldiers basically understood what was going on. Wang Lan counted the ammunition meticulously, while taking care of the injured and bandaging their wounds.
Lao Li came in from the entrance of the tunnel and said, "Company Commander, Company Commander, the enemy has attacked again. This time the number of enemies far exceeds the number of previous attacks."
The observer has died, and Lao Li has to act as an observer.
"Wang Yongmeng, call the regiment headquarters!"
Company Commander Gao put down the work at hand and immediately stood up and asked Wang Yongmeng to ring the regimental headquarters phone. Fortunately, two more detour lines had been set up before and were not destroyed by the enemy. They can still be used now.
"Captain, the enemy's attack was too fierce. The Ninth Company suffered heavy casualties. The enemy gathered a large number of troops and launched a fierce attack on our position. I request artillery reinforcements from the rear!"
The commander of the 235th Regiment ordered the observer to report the situation on the front line. The observer said: "Report to the commander, the smoke and dust in front are thick and foggy, seriously obstructing the line of sight, making it impossible to carry out precise strikes!"
Looking at Shangganling from the rear, one can hear the whistling of artillery shells coming from the sky above Shangganling from a distance, and the violent explosions continue to echo in various valleys.
The regiment leader thought carefully and quickly ordered: "Gao Xiangyong! Take your troops! Retreat to the tunnel! Let the enemy climb the mountain! When the enemy reaches the top of the mountain, I will order the artillery to bomb the 597.9 heights! When the bombing is over, you quickly organize a counterattack and regain the position.
!”
Company Commander Gao immediately responded: "Yes!"
Putting down the phone, he turned around and ordered Wang Yongmeng: "Immediately notify all troops on the ground to retreat to the tunnels! Let the enemy occupy the high ground and wait until our artillery bombardment is over before organizing a counterattack! Go quickly!"
"yes!"
Wang Yongmeng was relatively thin but moved very quickly. He ran quickly along the reverse slope and went to various positions to notify the company commander of the retreat order.
At the No. 1 surface position, Xia Yuan emerged from the soil. He was dirty all over. He looked around, scraped away the soil around him, and pulled the little soldier out of the soil. "The enemy is coming up soon, go and get me."
Get the ammo!"
Xia Yuan shook off the soil on his gun and pulled the trigger at the foreign devils all over the mountains and plains. The bullet accurately passed through the enemy's body. He picked up the grenade that was almost buried in the soil, fired it and threw it over. The fragments produced by the explosion of the grenade were scattered in the air.
The sky was shattered, and the American troops climbing the mountain were injured and killed by the flying shrapnel.
There were not many soldiers left in the first and second squads on the battlefield. The other soldiers were almost exhausted. Xia Yuan relied on his strong physical fitness to still resist tenaciously.
Lao Li emerged from the tunnel and shouted: "Squad leader, squad leader, company commander, let us withdraw to the tunnel!"
All the bullets on Squad Leader Hu's body have been fired, and beside him are empty ammunition boxes. The soldiers are basically exhausted. They are lifting the rocks next to them and throwing them at the enemies rushing up the mountain. The rocks are rolling down the mountain.
Even if it is not as good as a bullet, it will make the enemy wail for a long time after hitting it.
Squad Leader Hu turned around, "What the hell? Let's withdraw to the tunnel!?" His eyes widened: "What should we do if we withdraw our position?"
Lao Li dragged him and said, "This is the company commander's order!"
Squad leader Hu turned his head and looked at the foreign Japanese who were about to rush up from the bottom of the mountain, and shouted: "Retreat to the tunnel!"
The command was passed by the soldiers, and some soldiers began to evacuate. There were still many wounded on the position, which seriously slowed down the retreat of the soldiers. Knowing that they were slowing down the squad leader and others, the wounded shouted: "Squad leader, we are covering
You! You retreat first!"
Squad leader Hu scolded: "Cover is nothing! Lao Li, you come to cover! Others take away all the wounded!"
Xia Yuan rushed over with a gun and shouted: "You go! I will cover you!"
He lay down in the bunker formed by the bullet crater. After emptying the magazine, he reloaded and yelled. He pulled out the empty magazine, pressed the loaded magazine in, raised the gun and pulled the trigger.
The crisp sound was accompanied by the bullets being fired, penetrating the body of the foreign Japanese. The fallen enemy rolled down the hillside, while the American troops behind him were still swarming up.
"Let's go!"
Old Hu shouted.
The enemy's artillery shells are roaring and the enemy's bullets are tearing.
Mud fell from the sky. The previously constructed trenches were either blown up by artillery shells or covered with rolled-up soil. Bullets whizzed through the heads and shot into the sky. Some of the bullets hit the soil and scattered the stones.
It was shattered, the vegetation was whimpering, there were broken stones everywhere, and broken tree trunks were stuck crookedly in the sad forest. After the napalm bomb burned, it left shrapnel-black scorched earth, and the trees were all set on fire.
Thick smoke and dust covered the entire Shangganling Mountains.
Against the enemy's dense shells, Squad Leader Hu led the few remaining soldiers to carry the seriously wounded down the tunnel. After killing more than 30 enemies in a row, Xia Yuan looked at the still aggressive enemies and cursed secretly.
, holding the gun and retreating along the shallow trench into the tunnel.
The entrance to the tunnel was almost covered with soil, and a handful of soil on the ground was filled with shrapnel.
Squad Leader Hu squatted at the entrance of the tunnel and looked outside anxiously. The fog was too thick and he couldn't see clearly. Lao Li shouted: "Squad Leader, let me go take a look!"
A soldier suddenly shouted: "Comrade Xia Yuan is here, Comrade Xia Yuan is here!"
Under the bombardment of artillery fire, he was almost hit by enemy shells several times. The moment he got into the tunnel, Xia Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. There was no expression on his dark cheeks, but the white teeth mixed with dirt showed his mood at the moment.
"Monitor, deputy monitor, you just need to be fine."
"Hurry up and enter the tunnel."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Squad Leader Hu patted Xia Yuan on the shoulder.
This was the first time Xia Yuan returned to the tunnel after leaving the tunnel. Many soldiers with dirty bandages were sitting on the ground. Next to them were boxes of ammunition, and the wounded were loading bullets into the magazines.
The arrival of Xia Yuan and others attracted the attention of the soldiers. They raised their heads, their cheeks were covered with blood, and only their eyes were exceptionally bright. When they saw a few people coming back, they hurriedly asked: "Comrade, have you held the position?"
"
Xia Yuanxin suddenly became depressed. The deputy squad leader did not say a word. Squad leader Hu walked towards the lounge with a gun on his back and said: "I'll ask the company commander why we need to withdraw!"
Lao Li said: "Let's go and have a look too."
Xia Yuan did not move. He turned to look at the eager eyes in the tunnel and said firmly: "As long as I, Xia Yuan, am not dead! Position! I will definitely take it back! Don't worry!"
After saying that, he turned around with the gun on his back and followed the deputy squad leader into the lounge. As soon as he entered the lounge, he heard the voice of the female comrade, "Company Commander, some of the wounded are seriously injured, but they just don't listen and still want to help load bullets. You
Go quickly and persuade them."
Company Commander Gao's voice also sounded: "Comrade Wang Lan, just let them do it. If you stop them, they will feel even more uncomfortable!"
Wang Lan gritted his teeth and said: "Company Commander, they need to rest, I will stop them!"
After saying that, she ran out. Xia Yuan stepped aside to make way for Wang Lan. Soon he heard the words of the wounded coming from the tunnel under the artillery fire:
"Comrade Wang Lan, the position is our life. If the position is gone, what's the point of living?"
"I can no longer go to the front line, but I can still do something for the front line. Comrade Wang Lan, I know my body, but the position is more important than my body!"
"Comrade Wang Lan, you don't need to persuade us anymore. The only thing we can do now is to help the comrades on the front line to suppress bullets. If we can't even do this, what is the difference between me and a useless person? I have already prepared to
I have dedicated my life to the great cause of building the motherland, and now is the time when the motherland needs us!"
