In the hazy early morning, the U.S. Army and the Korean Army mobilized five battalions to attack various positions in Shangganling. This attack was extremely easy, and they did not encounter any enemy resistance, and they successfully reached the top of the mountain.
After arriving at the top of the mountain, they quickly asked the engineers to build fortifications on the surface of Shangganling. The engineers used sacks and loaded sand to pull in, and then quickly built simple firepower points around the craters on the ground, and built ceilings with wooden planks.
, buried on the ceiling with sand and gravel, and built a prototype of a machine gun bunker.
Other soldiers quickly used the bomb craters to dig downwards for fortifications, dig trenches, and avoid bomb craters. The soil on the surface of Shangganling had been plowed by artillery on countless sides. Under the constant bombardment of the rocky surface, the rock was marked as
The gravel turned into sand and then into scorched earth.
With yesterday's combat experience, they quickly built bunkers on the surface positions, and then used bomb craters to dig trenches on the ridge to build simple firepower points. Machine guns and flamethrowers were set up on the ridge.
In the tunnel, after the bombardment overhead ended, Xia Yuan and others already knew that the enemy had occupied the surface position.
"Leave it to you, we will serve as the second echelon!" the deputy squad leader of the second class said solemnly.
"Don't worry, we won't let them be stationed on the mountain so easily."
Xia Yuan nodded seriously. He was already filled with grenades and bullet bags. A group of soldiers looked at him with unprecedented fighting enthusiasm. This was because they had enough confidence in him.
It was still a counterattack, but today it was different. The counterattack was handed over to the first squad. After yesterday's battle, they captured a lot of American light and heavy machine guns. There were already more than ten light and heavy machine guns of various types in the tunnel.
Including a large number of bullets. Machine guns naturally cannot be wasted. There are thirteen soldiers in a group, seven of whom are carrying light machine guns. Except for Xia Yuan, the others are all equipped with a submachine gun and a US military automatic rifle.
Xia Yuan still has the big eight pills, he loves the big eight pills.
In addition to Xia Yuan carrying grenades, there was another soldier who also carried many grenades.
Twelve people formed four combat groups, and a small soldier served as Xia Yuan's ammunition depot. In addition to grenades, he also had a lot of bullets. You must know that Xia Yuan's ability is not only to drop bombs, but also to shoot.
"Today's counterattack can only succeed, not fail!"
"yes!"
A group of soldiers quickly replenished their ammunition. At the entrance of the tunnel, three soldiers formed a fighting group, forming four fighting groups. Xia Yuan and a soldier named Li Daotian formed a group. Li Daotian was not only responsible for covering Xia Yuan's
In addition, it also plays the role of replenishing ammunition.
The instructor recorded the deeds of the soldiers on the battlefield in the tunnel. Company Commander Feng was accompanying him this time. As the company commander, acting together could also inspire the soldiers, and he himself also looked forward to fighting side by side with Xia Yuan.
, by the way, let’s see this guy’s fighting ability.
Just listening to what the squad leader said, I just felt like this guy was lying. He could throw a bomb more than a hundred meters and land accurately in the enemy's bunker, and accurately control the explosion time of the grenade.
It sounds like nonsense.
They carefully walked out of the tunnel entrance, using the cover of gunpowder smoke and morning fog, and lay down on the ground in threes and threes. Company Commander Feng used his binoculars to observe the U.S. troops on the top of the mountain. He could vaguely see the shaking figures of the enemy on the ridge, and they were building fortifications.
, did not notice at all that the volunteers at the foot of the mountain had emerged from the tunnel.
In fact, there were enemy scouts, but the fog in the mountains was so thick that it was difficult to see them from a distance. In addition, the clothes of the volunteer soldiers were already dirty, and they almost blended with the brown ground when they were lying on the ground.
As one body, at this level, it would be even more difficult to discover it again.
"The enemy hasn't discovered us, so we can move forward and explore."
Captain Feng put down his telescope and looked at the distance from the tunnel to the ridge. Visually, it was more than a hundred meters away. He believed that the squad leader had miscalculated the distance Xia Yuan threw the grenade. It was so far away and the mountain was relatively steep. How could he see the distance?
It is impossible for a grenade to accurately land on the enemy's fire point.
He had doubts in his heart, but he didn't say them out loud.
The soldiers had no doubts, nodded, and crawled forward with their guns on the ground. After about twenty meters of groping forward, they could see the figures of the American scouts in the distance. They were lying on the ridge about thirty meters down.
In the bomb crater meters away, he held his gun and looked down the mountain.
However, it seemed that this US military scout was very relaxed. Xia could see him chewing gum and performing reconnaissance missions from a distance. Wherever he looked, he observed a total of more than a dozen US military scouts, a class of US scouts.
, he also heard the sound of the enemy talking.
"This attack went so smoothly. It's unimaginable. In the previous attacks, my company C suffered heavy casualties when attacking the devil's position. The enemy had a very powerful sniper. Fuck, it caused us huge damage.
Troubled, our snipers didn't even see the enemy's shadow."
"Calm down, buddy, this time we used a battalion to defend the devil's position. I don't believe the enemy can come back again. You saw the battle yesterday. The enemy is already dead. Under our bombardment, they
There were heavy casualties.”
"No, they hid in the mountains and are as cunning as the field rats who fought against Japan."
"..."
Xia Yuan's eyes moved slightly. The enemy's strength on the mountain was a full battalion. Judging from the enemy's troop deployment yesterday, there were two companies. This time it was directly increased to one battalion.
The establishment of the US military is different from that of our army. Their personnel establishment is very large, not only the personnel establishment, but also the types of arms. A company is not just an infantry company, but also has artillery. Its types are similar to those of the 7th interleaved company.
Similarly, the 7th Interpenetrating Company has four platoons, four of which are artillery platoons.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The same is true for the US military. Even their equipment is more sophisticated and they can also call for long-range artillery support and artillery support from bombers.
Take the Battle of Changjin Lake. The artillery position of the 1st U.S. Marine Division in the center of Hagaryu-ri can reach the middle part from Liutan-ri Highway to Hagaryu-ri. The first unit is located in the middle. Since the battle started on the 27th
Until the beginning of the month when the US troops retreated from Yudam-ri, they were still unable to capture it. The reason was that the first unit was able to call for artillery support from Hagaryu-ri and carry out long-range artillery strikes against the volunteers.
The enemies on Shangganling are no exception. Even though they have occupied the Triangle Mountain of Shangganling, the bombing of the main peak of Shangganling is still not over, and the bombing of the Five Sacred Mountains is also not over. In the sky, artillery shells are roaring, and the engines of fighter planes are vibrating.
Gunpowder smoke drifted into the sky, and the entire rear of Shangganling was engulfed in artillery fire.
When the enemy gains a foothold in the position, the battle will become more difficult.
Captain Feng knew that he would be discovered by the enemy if he went any further, so he quickly issued a combat order. He looked at Xia Yuan and said, "How about it? Is it okay?"
Xia Yuan had already taken out the grenade and made a thumbs-up gesture. Company Commander Feng took out the Type 50 submachine gun, activated the speed machine, aimed at the enemy on the mountain, and followed him with an order: "Hit!"
A group of soldiers scattered on the reverse slope controlled machine guns to fire at the enemy on the top of the mountain. The bullets whizzed through, and the row of large soldiers on the ridge had no time to avoid. They were shot through the body by the bullets and fell heavily to the ground, or fell down from the ground.
Rolling down the mountain.
Soldiers from two combat groups holding submachine guns crawled forward on the ground to quickly approach the enemy.
"Fuck! Enemy attack!"
The shouts of the foreign enemy soldiers came from the top of the mountain and spread far and wide. Some of the foreign devils who reacted lay on the ground and quickly fought back at a group of soldiers down the mountain. On the ridge, the enemy's heavy machine guns rang out.
stand up.
The next second, Xia Yuan threw the grenade in his hand violently. The grenade passed through the smoke and landed on the enemy's heavy machine gun that had just fired. With a burst of roar, the smoke filling the air shook violently, and the machine gunner controlling the machine gun
Then the dead can no longer die.
A group of soldiers had long seen Xia Yuan's ability to throw bombs, but now they were still surprised when they saw this scene. They all praised Xia Yuan and admired Xia Yuan in their hearts.
Captain Feng's eyes widened, "It's grandma's, it's a beautiful loss! Keep going! Blast these idiots to death for me!"
Xia Yuan did not speak, but told Captain Feng with practical actions. He kept taking out grenades from his arms and throwing them at the enemy on the top of the mountain. The enemy's newly formed fire points, amidst the sound of grenade explosions,
Dissipate the misfire.
Our army's machine guns were still firing, suppressing the enemy at the front so they did not dare to take the lead. The soldiers of the two combat groups took the opportunity to speed up, crawling on the ground using their hands and feet, using the mountains, raised rocks, and craters as cover.
, quickly approached the US military on the ridge.
Grenades exploded over the ridge one after another. Often, as soon as the enemy's machine gun fired, a grenade floated over, causing the foreign devils to suffer miserably. As a last resort, they could only call in 60 mortars to bombard the reverse slope, and send out recoilless mortars.
The artillery combat team fired at the volunteers coming up from the mountain.
With the sound of cannons, the enemy quickly reinforced the ridge and accelerated the construction of bunkers and fortifications on what they called the "devil's position".
The enemy's engineers moved very quickly, obviously not building such bunkers once or twice. After a while, six machine gun bunkers appeared on the position. At the same time, the US military on the ridge could not withstand Xia Yuan's strength to this extent.
Throwing grenades, wounded soldiers whose bodies were penetrated by shrapnel were continuously lifted off the ridge. The American soldiers in the rear could clearly see their own firepower points as grenades continued to fall above their heads. Some American soldiers were frightened by the sight.
.
What is this thing? It can be thrown so accurately.
The sound of enemy machine guns also frightened many enemies. It was not like their commander in front of the station saying that the enemies on the mountain were no longer viable, but they felt that they were getting stronger and stronger.
Facts have proved that retreating to the tunnels is a very correct choice. Relying on the tunnels and the weapons and ammunition stored in the tunnels, they can organize counterattacks anytime and anywhere. When stationed in the position, they face not only waves of enemy charges, but also waves of enemy attacks.
There are non-stop bombardments from aircraft, artillery, tanks and armored vehicles. Logistics supplies are not coming, and support is also not coming.
It is completely a matter of holding on class by class, or risking death, sacrificing the squad structure as a unit, holding on to the position and delaying time.
This method is obviously not feasible. Now he has changed his strategy. Xia Yuan, who has personally experienced position defense battles, can also clearly feel the benefits of tunnel battles, which is to effectively avoid enemy bombardment. This is the biggest change.
And took the initiative.
Xia Yuan even had the idea of a night attack in his heart.
After Xia Yuan threw a large number of grenades, it was obvious that the enemy on the ridge could no longer hold on any longer. He set up a big ball and pulled the trigger on the foreign Japanese who were not dead and were hiding in the bunker to fight back.
The bullet hit the enemy's steel helmet accurately, and the big-headed soldier lying in the crater jerked his head back and fell to the side.
"pretty!"
When Captain Feng saw this shot, it accurately hit the enemy's head, and shouted, this guy's marksmanship is exactly what Lao Gao said, his marksmanship is accurate, his shooting ability is powerful and accurate!
This is a good soldier!
The bunker fortifications built by the enemy on the ridge were not able to withstand Xia Yuan who had turned on the plug-in. After turning on the eagle eye, not only the shooting ability was enhanced, but also the ability to drop bombs was enhanced. Bullets were fired one after another from the sky.
Eight pellets were fired out to eliminate the American troops who were suppressed by machine guns. Those who wanted to fight back were killed by Xia Yuan one after another.
Shooting at this distance is basically not a problem for him. If he hits a coin, he can accurately hit the center.
Aiming at the foreign soldier's steel helmet the size of half a watermelon, it was easy to capture it. After changing the magazine, Captain Feng saw that the enemy's offensive stationed on the ridge was getting weaker and weaker. Captain Feng shouted, "Charge!"
Taking the lead, they picked up their submachine guns and rushed towards the ridge not far away. The soldiers in the combat team stood up one after another and rushed forward. When the enemy wanted to probe back and fight back, they had already charged the enemy with their submachine guns, and some
The enemy was accurately shot by Xia Yuan behind him.
"Granny, why didn't I feel that it would be so easy to fight a counterattack before?" Captain Feng rushed behind him with the 50 in his hand, grabbed the light machine gun under the enemy's corpse, held it in his arms, and said to the soldiers: "Occupy the ridge, be careful.
!”
The reverse slope was basically captured by them, and the U.S. troops on the ridge were already out of control. They rushed up the ridge, jumped into the trenches that the U.S. troops had not yet dug, shot at the remaining U.S. troops, and quickly took up a favorable position, watching the smoke-filled
position.
When they appeared, the enemy's machine gun bunkers were already ringing. The ferocious machine gun bunkers formed a dense firepower network. The bunkers built based on the firepower network on the position became the gathering place for the US infantry. They were scattered in patches.
On the battlefield.
After Xia Yuan arrived at the top of the mountain, he understood after just one glance.
