Chapter 35 Put away the tears and turn the grief in our hearts into our stronger strength!
It's dawn.
In the early morning, the enemy's fiercest offensive temporarily stopped. Through the gradually dissipating morning fog, Xia Yuan saw the smoke rising from the enemy's position. They were making fire for cooking, but the enemy's artillery continued to fall on the position.
US bombers were still circling and strafing in the sky, dropping bombs one after another.
"Platoon Commander Sun, company commander and first platoon commander all died."
A platoon of soldiers ran over, with a cry in his voice. Platoon Leader Sun was shocked. When the soldiers approached, he saw the body of Company Commander Gao crawling on the bunker of the trench, still holding a submachine gun in his hand.
, magazines and bullet casings were scattered on the ground, and his dark face was stained with blood.
Even though he was sacrificed, he still maintained his fighting posture.
Platoon Leader Sun slowly raised his head, with tears in his eyes. He stepped forward, holding back the grief in his heart, straightening the body of Company Commander Gao, pulling up his clothes, squatting on the ground and taking off his hat. The soldiers around him
They all took off their hats.
Xia Yuan was holding a gun and a hat in his hand, with a trace of tears in his eyes.
Niu Xingcai cried: "Company Commander Gao also died..."
"Don't cry!" Platoon Commander Sun stood up and wiped the tears from his face, "We haven't won yet, the battle is not over yet. If Company Commander Gao is still alive and sees us like this, what will we look like?"
She shed tears and turned the sorrow in our hearts into a stronger force! Now, there is no first platoon, no second platoon, only the ninth company!"
He raised his voice and shouted: "Collect the weapons and ammunition on the position and build bunkers and fortifications! Move quickly!"
Xia Yuan took a deep breath, suppressed the grief in his heart, and said to Niu Xingcai and Wang Shouda: "Captain Gao died. We cannot continue to grieve. We should turn our grief into motivation and continue to hold our position."
His voice became deeper and harsher. At this moment, he was no longer a time traveler, but a Chinese People's Volunteer.
"Even if we die in battle, we will still stand on the battlefield and use our bodies to become a high wall blocking the enemy's progress!"
Platoon Leader Sun said: "Comrade Xia Yuan is right! Turn grief into motivation and use our corpses to become a high wall blocking the enemy's progress!"
"yes!"
The soldiers shouted hoarsely, and there were only a dozen soldiers left in the first and second platoons. They took away the guns and ammunition from the enemy's corpses on the position, and took away everything they could use.
Xia Yuan touched the foreign devil's pocket and took out three pieces of chewing gum. He was stunned for a moment. After touching many corpses, he gradually understood that the foreign devil carried only a small amount of weapons and ammunition with him to launch this kind of offensive, and basically no food. The enemy's command
The officer also knew in his heart that the Volunteer Army soldiers liked to touch corpses. After all, they had been fighting for two years. Especially in winter, the Volunteer Army would strip their enemies naked and leave them in the snow. The main reason was that the Volunteer Army soldiers had scarce logistical supplies.
Therefore, the food and ammunition carried on the body will eventually become supplies for the enemy. Therefore, the US military will leave the things on the body behind before attacking and only carry a small amount of ammunition, which is enough for use.
It was an unexpected joy to touch three pieces of chewing gum. The enemy's artillery fire is still raging in Shangganling. I don't know when it will stop, let alone when the supplies from the rear will be delivered to the forward position. Three pieces of chewing gum are not much.
It can solve urgent needs.
Xia Yuan huddled in the crater, tore off the three pieces of chewing gum, divided it into small portions, and gave some to Lao Li, "Deputy squad leader, this is the chewing gum of the foreign devils. Give it to other soldiers. Chew it in your mouth to help you recover."
physical strength."
The calories in chewing gum can replenish a small amount of physical energy of the soldiers. Although it is a drop in the bucket, it is better than nothing.
"Hey, did you get this from a foreign Japanese?" Lao Li rubbed his dark hands on his unclean clothes and shouted: "Lao Hu, Lao Hu, come here and have a taste of the chewing gum that Xia Yuan seized.
.”
He stood up and came to Squad Leader Hu and gave him a small piece of chewing gum. Lao Hu put down the engineering shovel in his hand, stuffed the chewing gum into his mouth, and chewed it for a while: "It's so sweet. I used to eat this stuff when I was in the rear.
I've been there before, it's just like glue, I don't know how these foreign devils do it."
"In the future, our country will also make this stuff." Old Li smiled and came to Platoon Commander Sun again, "Platoon Commander, try the foreign devil's chewing gum."
Platoon leader Sun, who was digging the trench, straightened up and said, "Okay, where was it captured?"
Old Li said: "Squad Leader Xia touched it on the body of a foreign Japanese."
Platoon Leader Sun put the chewing gum in his mouth, chewed it, and shouted: "Speed up the action and clean up the battlefield. The foreign devils will not give up. We must be like a nail nailed to the position. Even if the enemy wants to pull it out, he must be pulled out."
A day or two!"
At this time, a squad from the seventh company in the rear led some supplies to the forward position and found Platoon Leader Sun. "Report to Platoon Leader Sun, I am the squad leader of the first platoon and the first squad of the seventh company. Here are the weapons and ammunition you need."
Some food, and we have also been ordered by the company commander to stay on the position to help you."
The squad leader looked at the soldiers who were building fortifications on the position. There were more than fifty soldiers fighting in the tunnel. Even if they were separated, there should be more than thirty soldiers here, and now only
There are more than ten people, which is just one squad of soldiers.
Platoon Leader Sun said: "Thank you, you came so timely. Squad leader Hu, please distribute the food to the soldiers and let them eat something first to cushion their stomachs. The enemy is also eating now. Wait until they finish eating.
It is estimated that they will launch another fierce attack on our army's forward positions, and they will not give up."
Squad leader Hu sighed, put down his engineering shovel, and ran over to cooperate with the soldiers in the first squad to distribute some biscuits and cans to the soldiers on the battlefield.
"Stop working now, come and have something to eat, and then continue working after eating. Xia Yuan, take a rest first and eat something."
"Why."
Xia Yuan carried a gun on his back, stuck the engineer shovel in his hand on the ground, and held his head against the shells that might fall around him at any time. He sat in the trench, and Squad Leader Hu sat next to him. The two of them were eating food and chatting.
One day, Captain Hu saw that Xia Yuan had finished the food in his hand in two or three bites, so he handed him the food in his hand.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xia Yuan looked at Squad Leader Hu, who smiled: "Eat, you are growing, you should eat more."
Xia Yuan shook his head, but Squad Leader Hu put the biscuit into his hand, bit the remaining half of the biscuit, stood up and left. When he left, he looked back at Xia Yuan and said, "Kill more enemies later!"
Xia Yuan looked at the half piece of biscuit in his hand. He was really hungry, so he put it in his mouth and ate half of the biscuit in two or two mouths. After eating, he continued to strengthen the fortifications.
After a while, the enemy's shelling suddenly intensified and became more violent than before. Especially the forward positions were "taken care of" by the foreign artillery. The trenches that the soldiers had just dug were hit by the enemy's fierce artillery fire.
The fortification that was originally half a person's height was quickly submerged up to the knees.
The soldiers could only endure the enemy's artillery fire and repair the bombed fortifications in order to ensure the integrity of the forward position before the enemy's attack.
At this time, the thick fog in the mountains had dissipated and the vision of many soldiers had become wider. After nearly an hour of rest, the enemy reappeared in full view. Their number was greater than that of the organized enemies in the early morning.
There are so many that we cannot count them carefully, but from the enemy's locust-like offensive, we can basically deduce that the enemy's number is at least one reinforced battalion.
Xia Yuan took a deep breath. In order to capture the No. 1 position, the enemy entangled the strength of a reinforced battalion. Such a frenzied behavior, even though he was familiar with the changes in the situation, he felt that the burden on him became heavier. He
Place ammunition boxes for bullets and grenades on the bunker so that you can easily reach out and grab them.
Platoon leader Sun knew Xia Yuan's shooting and bombing skills, so he gave Xia Yuan sufficient ammunition support and equipped him with three large eight-pellet guns. Sun Gong's position was taken over by Wang Shou, who used the three guns beside him
Fill them all with bullets, place them within reach, and carefully poke your head out. The enemies all over the mountains and plains in the distance are like locusts on the side of the tide. They come out of the ravines, and in the crater, behind the rocks, on the reverse slope, they cautiously
Explore and push forward.
In front of the position were a large number of enemy offensive troops, and in the rear were continuous enemy artillery fire. U.S. military aircraft continued to drop napalm bombs in the sky, turning Shangganling into a sea of fire, and the violent burning flames baked the ground into a scorched earth.
.
Accompanied by the blazing flames and the roar of falling artillery shells, the enemy's offensive in the morning showed its fangs. There were about two platoons of troops on the right side of position No. 1, which were very scattered on the forward position. Such a scattered
Distribution effectively prevents the enemy from taking away multiple people with one shot.
Wang Shou unscrewed all the caps of the grenade and placed it in front of the bunker. In the smoke-filled battlefield, he saw enemies all over the mountains and plains.
"Squad leader, we have at least one battalion of troops." Wang Shou retracted his body and said, "In order to capture our mountain, the enemy has made great efforts."
Xia Yuan didn't say anything. He put bullets in the magazine, put them on his body and put them away. Then he stood up carefully, lay down behind the bunker, stared at the enemy approaching from a distance, and put the gun in front of him.
.
There were only about twenty soldiers left on the right side of the entire No. 1 position. It was almost impossible to resist the attack of an enemy battalion. But even with such impossibility, the volunteer soldiers had just created one miracle after another.
On the second day of the battle at Shangganling, the U.S. military launched a more violent bombardment of Shangganling after integrating the wrong actions of the first day's offensive plan. According to Van Fleet's wishes, he wanted to make all life on Shangganling disappear.
Amidst the artillery fire, there was no offensive mission on the 537.7 Highland. In just one morning, the enemy's offensive force composed of four battalions, from the left, center and right directions, under the cover of aircraft, artillery and tanks, continued the morning offensive.
After the end, the US military's morning offensive began.
Four battalions, more than a thousand people, in addition to heavy firepower, each company of the US military is equipped with a large number of walkie-talkie infantry, recoilless guns, flamethrowers and other special US military forces.
A company of soldiers launched a fierce attack.
Position No. 3 on the main peak encountered an attack from a reinforced battalion of the enemy. If we capture the main peak, we can radiate the positions on both sides. This is the most unfavorable situation for our army. Therefore, on Position No. 1, which is very close to the main peak, Xia Yuan can clearly
I saw that the main peak had turned into a sea of fire, and there was almost no place to hide. However, when the enemy rushed to the forward position, the sound of machine gunfire was heard from the main peak.
At the front of position No. 1, the enemy had already touched down. Only four squads of soldiers were left who launched a fierce attack on the enemy. They fired machine guns, submachine guns, and bombed with grenades. Xia Yuan used snipers to continuously shoot and kill the enemy while controlling the flame spray.
The U.S. troops carrying weapons, the U.S. troops carrying recoilless rifles on their shoulders, the U.S. troops carrying walkie-talkies on their backs, the U.S. troops holding sniper rifles and U.S. lieutenants, bullets whizzed through the crowd and accurately penetrated the enemy's chest.
This is the first time Wang Shou has seen the squad leader's sniping ability. The big eight pills are in his hands, exerting great power. The semi-automatic rifle does not need to pull the bolt. He aims and pulls the trigger. Wang Shou only hears Xia Yuan pull the trigger continuously.
The trigger was fired, and eight gunshots were fired. He raised his head and looked at the enemy group, and saw the last bullet penetrated the enemy's head, with a shocked look on his face.
"Why are you standing there? Press the bullet!" Xia Yuan threw him the gun with the bullet in the empty magazine, grabbed a gun with the bullet in it, and continuously pulled the trigger. The bullet was effectively killing the enemy's special unit.
After that, it was about killing the enemy's ordinary soldiers, plus soldiers from other teams shooting at the forward positions to provide fire cover, Xia Yuan's personal abilities were greatly expanded.
But that's all. The enemy's recoilless guns, flamethrowers, snipers and other special units were shot and killed, greatly reducing the pressure on the soldiers on the forward positions.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Squad Leader Hu patted the body of the Fifty Chong gun, threw it on the ground, picked up the carbine on the ground, and continuously pulled the trigger on the enemy. Lao Li and Platoon Leader Sun were the same machine.
The gunners controlled the light machine guns and continuously fired at the enemy. When they were helping Xia Yuan reduce his own fire suppression, Xia Yuan was helping them, solving the problem of recoilless rifles, flamethrowers, and the enemy's breaking point ability.
It is greatly weakened and can only use infantry to throw grenades to forward positions.
There were only about 20 meters left from the forward position. The enemy hid in the bomb crater and fired at the volunteers behind the bunker. The two sides started a shooting tug-of-war at a distance of nearly 30 meters. On the battlefield where bullets were flying randomly, if you were not careful,
He would be shot through the head, and grenades exploded on both sides' positions, with broken shrapnel flying everywhere.
"Xia Yuan!! Blast them out for me!"
Due to their numerical advantage, the enemy relied on semi-automatic rifles. Even without light machine guns, the enemy was able to form a dense firepower network. This advantage over guns soon became apparent. The soldiers in the trenches only heard the whizzing of enemy bullets.
It flew overhead in a whoosh, but did not dare to pop up rashly.
Behind the enemy, water-cooled heavy machine guns were set up one after another. On the water-cooled heavy machine guns, there were multiple scopes for aiming. The heavy machine gun operator looked through the scope at the volunteers on the forward position, and they pulled the trigger.
, the bullets from the water-cooled heavy machine gun formed a brilliant chain of fire, pouring towards the top of the mountain from a few hundred meters away.
The tanks parked at the foot of the mountain continued to bombard the mountain. Bullets from the enemy's self-propelled cannons hit the mountain with loud bangs, creating a crater that could only be blasted out by a grenade. The enemy had already used all the means at his disposal.
Without using any troops at all, at eight o'clock in the morning, an unprecedented attack was launched on Shangganling.
