Chapter 30 This is their red spirit, counterattack day and night on the 14th
The U.S. military command post was brightly lit, and a group of commanders looked at the Shangganling map model and couldn't calm down for a long time.
It was really unimaginable for them that it was just a small hill. They sent four battalions of troops and attacked continuously under the continuous bombardment of aircraft and artillery. They could not conquer it. Now it was getting late. The commander of the US Army
After receiving the casualty information from the front line, he became furious and kept cursing, and none of the adjutants dared to say a word.
"Triangular Mountain has still not been captured. Do you know how many casualties the infantry suffered?"
"Fifteen hundred people! A total of fifteen hundred people! Fuck! Fuck! Go to hell! If this continues, the Seventh Division will be finished sooner or later!"
"Fuck!"
An adjutant said cautiously: "Sir, the good news is that we have captured the enemy's position on the east side."
The commander glared at him and cursed loudly: "Your Excellency, Commander, expected to take down the enemy's position with 200 casualties, but we failed to take down the enemy's position with 1,500 casualties. Are you happy that we only took one in the position? Idiot!"
"Sir, according to the report of the supervising team, there are many soldiers in the United Nations who are afraid of fighting."
The commander turned to look at him: "Are you reminding me to improve the morale of the soldiers? Fuck! I need you to remind me!? The United Nations Army is a bunch of stupid pigs. They are not here to fight at all, they are here.
On vacation, look at their infantry, they are frivolous and casual, and then look at our opponents!"
He stepped forward and stared at the adjutant in front of him: "Os, do you know how many Chinese soldiers are on the position in front of us? A reinforced company! Fuck! We used two divisions and couldn't defeat the enemy's reinforced company! I didn't
Dare to report today's results to the commander. If he knows about it, do you know what will greet us? Do you know what those guys from the Associated Press will write about us?"
"They say we are a bunch of pigs! Thousands of people cannot defeat a position defended by hundreds of people!"
"Fuck!fuck!fuck!"
The adjutant remained silent, scolding the Bangzi Army and those idiots from the United Nations Army in his heart. If it weren't for them, our infantry would have already captured Shangganling!
A bunch of idiots!
The U.S. military captured 537.7 Highlands, which seemed to be a victory, but in fact it was a loss.
...
At the headquarters of the 235th Regiment located at the rear, the regiment commander was anxious. The enemy had been bombarding the surface position in Shangganling for a day. What was the strength of our troops on the surface position and how was the position being held? Since three hours ago, our army had been bombing the surface position.
After the enemy's shelling, there was no more movement.
Our army's artillery ammunition reserves are very small. One round of shelling basically exhausted the 235th Regiment's artillery reserves. If it hadn't been for the ninth company on the 8th to seize a batch of artillery shells, otherwise the 235th Regiment would not have been able to organize such a large-scale, large-scale
of bombing.
Bad news came from the artillery position. After a round of firing, the artillery only had three shells left.
In the evening, news finally came from Shangganling, which had been out of contact for almost half a day. After a day of fierce fighting, there was not much ammunition left in the tunnels. There were only more than 90 soldiers left in a reinforced company, including the wounded and seriously injured.
Inside.
Positions No. 7, No. 11, and No. 2 on Highland 597.9 were lost, and all surface positions on Highland 537.7 were lost. The First Company and the Ninth Company suffered heavy casualties.
The political commissar asked the regimental leader, "The war has reached this level, do we still want to fight?"
The Ninth Company and the First Company were almost destroyed, three positions were lost on Highland 597.9, all of Highland 537.7 were lost, and there were only three shells left in the artillery position. How should we continue to persevere under such circumstances?
The command post of the 45th Division in Zhencaidong was set up in a large, strong tunnel. When the division commander learned that the two highlands had been lost, he immediately picked up the phone and said to the commander of the 135th Regiment:
"Captain Zhang, I am very aware of your current situation. It is very difficult for you to hold on to the defense without artillery support. But you must stay calm and plan carefully. When the enemy has not gained a stable foothold, immediately organize a counterattack and seize the position overnight.
return!"
The regiment leader put down the phone and said to the political commissar: "Fight! No matter how difficult the conditions are, this battle must continue! Let the fifth, sixth, and seventh companies carry weapons and ammunition through the enemy's shelling area to reinforce Shangganling!"
At 8 o'clock in the evening, we launched an attack on Position 2, Position 11, and Position 7 at Highland 597.9, and asked the soldiers in the tunnels to cooperate with our army's counterattack! In addition, use the artillery shells, whether they are mortars, mountain cannons or howitzers.
, use them all for me to support tonight’s counterattack!”
After the order was issued, Company Commander Gao in the No. 1 Tunnel received the combat order. He immediately ordered: "Leave a combat team in each position, while the others pack weapons and ammunition, and cooperate with the Seventh Company to collect and pay for the No. 2 position tonight."
!”
"yes!"
Company Commander Gao ordered the cook, "Open some cans of foreign devils tonight and let everyone eat something good."
The cook nodded: "Yes!"
Captain Gao added: "Leave the meat for the seriously wounded."
This dinner is not very sumptuous, but it is definitely the best meal the soldiers have ever eaten. Each soldier is given a piece of meat, paired with biscuits, vegetables, and some salty soup. That's it.
, the soldiers ate with gusto, and Wang Lan fed the wounded soldiers little by little.
Sun Yuan sat in front of Xia Yuan, drank the soup, looked at Xia Yuan, and said: "Xia Yuan, in tonight's battle, the enemy's firepower will be left to you."
Xia Yuan took a bite of the biscuit, nodded and said: "Platoon commander, don't worry, leave the enemy's bunkers and firepower points to me to blast."
After dinner, the soldiers gathered together. After a day of fierce fighting, many soldiers' firearms were broken. They needed to replace them with new weapons and equipment. There were many guns taken from the positions stored in the tunnel.
But there was not much ammunition left, especially grenades. Ten thousand grenades were thrown on the first day, and there were only seven boxes of grenades left in the tunnel.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seven boxes are far from enough.
Captain Gao was worried: "Only the first day's battle consumed the ammunition that was intended to be used for a month, so how should we fight the next battle? If we fight like this every day, the casualties will only get bigger and bigger.
.”
While Captain Gao was worried, Xia Yuan was also worried. After dinner, he squatted in front of the well he dug with his gun in his arms. There was no water coming out of the well, but the humidity was already very high, but now it was intense every day.
During the battle, he had no time to dig water wells unless our army moved into tunnels in advance.
And now the order given by the superiors is to defend Shangganling. It is estimated that it will take some time to push the hands.
Xia Yuan had no idea how he could dig a well with only a hammer and an awl. After all, this was not a modern day. With advanced drilling machines, drilling a well in the Shangganling tunnel was done manually.
The sky outside gradually darkened, and the roar of enemy planes flying overhead could still be heard, continuously bombing our army's rear area.
Sitting in the tunnel, you can hear the roar that continues to spread.
Xia Yuan left the 'well' and came to the ammunition supply area. A wounded soldier said: "Squad leader Xia, this is a large eight-grain magazine."
Xia Yuan looked up at the wounded man. The wounded man was leaning against the wall, with bandages wrapped around his head and left eye. One arm was missing, and blood was stained on the wrapped bandage. His other hand could still move, so he used that
He had one hand loaded with bullets one by one. There were many scattered bullets and magazines full of bullets on the ground in front of him.
"You should get some rest."
Xia Yuan collected the magazines on the ground and stuffed them into the bullet bag.
The wounded man said firmly: "Although I was injured and one arm was lost, I still have one arm that can move. You are all shining on the front line to defend the motherland. How can I rest in the tunnel, no matter what I have suffered?"
No matter how serious the injury is, as long as I can still move, I will contribute my share to the great cause of defending the motherland!"
His tone was so firm, his will was so tenacious, and his eyes were so bright.
Xia Yuan looked at the other wounded people in the tunnel. Whether they were sitting or lying down, there were loaded magazines and scattered bullets beside them. Their bodies were damaged by the fierce battle, but their bodies were not shining brightly.
Will, their will is stronger than steel and higher than Mount Everest!
This is their red spirit.
"gather!"
Company Commander Gao's voice came from the entrance of the tunnel.
"I will take the bullets you loaded and kill more enemies!" Xia Yuan said firmly.
"Thank you, Monitor Xia."
When Xia Yuan left, he turned to look at the one-armed warrior. He was holding a bullet and still pressed the bullet into the magazine with difficulty. Often when he exerted force, the magazine would escape, so he would
The magazine is pressed against his thigh so that when he presses the bullet, the magazine will not escape.
Xia Yuan, who lives in modern times, has never seen such warriors. They may have died, but their spirit has become a bright red star, guiding us in the direction.
Xia Yuan still turned around and followed the assembled team to attack the lost No. 2 position.
He found that there were many new soldiers at the entrance of the tunnel. Squad leader Hu said: "This is the team of the seventh company of our regiment. The man's name is Feng Ji. He is the commander of the seventh company. He is a machine gunner. He has a very bad temper. He fights tough battles."
Very powerful!”
Xia Yuan glanced at Company Commander Feng. He had scars on his dark cheeks. He looked fierce. He spoke in a loud voice and said "his grandma's legs". He was carrying a crooked gun behind him and had bullets on his body.
There are some magazines in the bag.
Company Commander Gao was discussing tonight's battle plan with him, and he suddenly shouted: "Xia Yuan! Xia Yuan!"
Familiar and unfamiliar eyes from the crowd fell on him. Captain Feng looked at him with a loud voice: "Your company's sharpshooter and bombardier, last time he led a squad of soldiers to slightly injure two soldiers.
Captured an enemy company at a cost."
Company Commander Gao nodded: "It's not him. We must rely on him for tonight's critical battle."
Captain Feng waved to Xia Yuan: "Come here and let me take a look."
Xia Yuan walked through the team and walked forward. Captain Feng looked at Xia Yuan and couldn't help but admired: "Lao Gao, it's not bad. This soldier is very energetic and a good young man. He is enough to be a platoon leader."
Company Commander Gao said: "Comrade Xia Yuan still needs to hone his skills, but in today's battle alone, he has been able to obtain a combat hero. Today, east of the No. 1 position, one person killed at least three hundred enemies. The enemy's corpses
They can all be piled up into a mountain."
Captain Feng was surprised: "Weird! That's incredible!"
Captain Gao said: "More than that, just wait and see for tonight's battle."
Night is a paradise for volunteers who are good at night fighting. At 20:00 on the evening of the 14th, it was already dark. The 15th Army of the Volunteer Army took advantage of the fact that the "United Nations Army" had just occupied positions 2, 11, and 7, and used all their resources to stabilize the position.
As support for the artillery fire, four companies of troops were divided into four routes to launch a counterattack against the "United Nations Army" in the three occupied surface positions in Shangganling.
The roaring artillery shells made a sharp whistle in the sky and landed on the surface positions No. 2, 11 and 7 occupied by the "United Nations". They were everywhere. Because our army's artillery shells were not enough, the shelling only lasted two minutes.
, the bugler blew the counterattack trumpet.
The enemy blocked the attack with fierce artillery fire. On the road of our charge, enemy artillery shells continued to fall. In this continuous roar, the charge chant became louder and louder, stirring people's hearts.
The task of counterattacking the No. 2 position was undertaken by the 7th Company and the 9th Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 135th Regiment of the 45th Division, while the commando team was left to the 2nd Platoon of the 9th Company. After the fierce battle during the day, there were only more than 20 people left in the 2nd Platoon.
Xia Yuan was given the task of manning the blaster. Zhao Fengshou, who was delivering the news to Tunnel No. 1, asked Company Commander Gao for help and temporarily joined the second squad, which was short of personnel, to serve as a blaster.
All the work for the attack has been done. The Seventh Company and the Ninth Company have also reached the front of Position No. 8. The enemy has built a large number of defense fortifications in Position No. 2. One round of shelling only destroyed part of the enemy's defense fortifications, and there are still a large number of them.
The enemy had built fortifications, and on position No. 2, the enemy had approximately one reinforced company.
In the crater left by the enemy's shelling during the day, the soldiers of the assault platoon watched the enemy intently.
"Four machine gun bunkers, more than ten machine guns, about the strength of a reinforced company."
Xia Yuan turned on his night vision and could clearly see the enemy's defenses on Position 2. The two places were two hundred meters apart, so grenades couldn't be thrown at them. Long-range sniping might be possible.
He moved over, found Platoon Leader Sun, and said: "Platoon Commander, I can kill the enemy's machine gunner, but killing the machine gunner is a drop in the bucket. The enemy has more than ten machine guns, which is obviously too late, but we can take advantage of the enemy's replacement of machine guns."
When there is a gap between the gunmen, I rush forward. As long as I can get closer to the enemy's bunker a hundred meters, I can blow up the enemy's bunker!"
Platoon Leader Sun observed the front and thought carefully: "How sure are you?"
"I'm very sure!" Xia Yuan said decisively.
"Then do it!!"
The counterattack began. Xia Yuan set up the big eight pills and aimed at the enemy's machine gun bunker. In the bunker, filled with vigilant foreigners, he pulled the trigger. Bang bang bang, continuous gunshots were heard, and the bullets came out with a pop.
The foreigners in the machine gun bunker could hear the sound of bullets piercing the heads of their comrades.
The moment Xia Yuan shot down the enemy's machine gunner, Platoon Leader Sun led his soldiers to rush towards the enemy with an unstoppable force. When they approached the enemy's bunker about 150 meters away, more than a dozen riflemen from the remaining four bunkers were
The machine guns fired intense firepower, frustrating the assault platoon's charge.
