Chapter 56 Brave Bombardier-Ninth Company Commander
The plan changed. They were now going to regain position No. 2. Company Commander Feng received an order to reinforce position No. 4, and position No. 1 was handed over to the 3rd Platoon of the 8th Company.
Under such circumstances, Xia Yuan turned his attention to the No. 2 position closest to the No. 8 position. In addition to the lost No. 2 position, there was also the lost No. 11 position.
The battle at Position 2 is still fierce. After a round of shelling by our army, the enemies on the position have destroyed a large number of defenses, but there are also many bunkers that remain. They are not as powerful as Xia Yuan.
With its ability to attack fortresses, one has to send demolition teams one after another to blast the enemy's bunkers.
When one team dies, a second one takes over.
Under the cover of the soldiers, they attacked the enemy's fire points. From a distance, they could see the enemy's fire points forming chains of fire, which made the soldiers responsible for the blast unable to lift their heads. The soldiers in the second row sacrificed themselves before the platoon leader, suffering heavy casualties.
In this case, the squad leader took over the command and once again led the soldiers to crawl towards the enemy's firepower point.
The bullets formed bright fire chains and tore apart the smoke-filled Shanggan Mountains, forming particularly spectacular scenery.
This kind of scenery is particularly deadly. It is composed of bullets that can easily tear apart an elephant, not to mention the volunteer soldiers who are thin and malnourished for a long time. Fortunately, not only the supply gradually became available in the later period of this period, but also the soldiers
Although they are malnourished, they do not suffer from night blindness.
The second platoon's attack was very difficult. Their machine gun shooting platform was destroyed by the enemy. Chen Zhiguo, a soldier from the third squad of the second platoon, jumped out of the fortifications and fired fiercely with his machine gun. The machine gun lost its stable shooting platform and fired inaccurately. It could not suppress the enemies in the depressions on the hillside.
Heavy machine gun firepower, seeing the frontline soldiers being beaten so hard that they could not lift their heads, and seeing the casualties in the second row increasing, at this critical moment, Chen Zhiguo used his body as a firing platform for the machine gun and carried the machine gun on his shoulders.
,call out:
"Squad leader, come here and shoot!"
The squad leader of the third squad turned his head, dropped the gun in his hand and controlled the machine gun to fire at the enemy's heavy fire. After a burst of fierce fire, the enemy's heavy fire was so suppressed that he could not raise his head. The suppressed soldiers of the demolition team raised their heads and picked up the blasting barrel.
, stuffed into the enemy's bunker, and with a roar, the machine gun firepower point that had troubled them for nearly an hour was finally destroyed.
Chen Zhiguo's shoulders were burned to pieces by machine guns and his body was shot several times and he died gloriously.
Sun Tzu Ming, a soldier from the first squad of the second platoon, fell into a coma after being wounded three times. When he woke up, the enemy had already rushed to his position. Sun Tzu Ming saw that the enemy had a machine gun beside him and was attacking the second platoon.
The soldiers opened fire violently. He immediately rushed over and grabbed the machine gun from the enemy. When he was about to turn the gun, more than 20 enemies surrounded him. Sun Tzu Ming held three grenades and rushed into the enemy group. He fired the grenades and
The enemies perished together.
Second platoon leader Yang Lindong personally led two demolition teams to launch a suicide attack on the machine gun bunker built by the enemy at the second position. After blowing up two machine gun bunkers in a row, the soldiers beside him had sacrificed and he himself was shot.
He stepped down, holding on to the last blasting tube, and rushed forward to face the enemy's counterattack. With a huge roar, accompanied by mud and blood mist rising into the sky, the second platoon leader died together with the enemy.
...
"Company Commander Xia, I will lead a feint attack from the front, and you will lead a man to penetrate from the side. How about we cooperate and catch the enemy off guard?"
Dai Wannian led the soldiers to a location not far from the second position. Looking at the remaining US troops on the second position, he frowned and asked Xia Yuan what he meant.
Xia Yuan looked at the remaining enemies on Position 2. Dai Wannian handed him a telescope, "Use this, you can see clearly with this."
A soldier from the Seventh Company on the side said: "Captain Dai, you still don't know how sharp Captain Xia's eyes are. Even at a long distance, Captain Xia can see clearly, let alone such a long distance."
Dai Wannian was stunned, "Oh? Really?"
"More than that, when we were in the tunnel, the soldiers of the Ninth Company told us that at night, from a mile away, Captain Xia could clearly see the enemy's defenses on the high ground. We followed Captain Xia in the battle without having to observe the enemy.
Set up defenses, hit wherever Captain Xia points out, it’s accurate!”
Dai Wannian looked at Xia Yuan in surprise. While they were talking, Xia Yuan had already observed the foreign enemy's defense on the second position.
"Captain Dai, we conducted a counterattack on Position 2 on the first night before, and we are quite familiar with the terrain."
Xia Yuan pointed in the dark direction, "Captain Dai, lead your men to attack from that position. Although the terrain is steep, the enemy's only bunker on the mountain was blown up, and the second row of soldiers attracted
It has blocked most of the enemy's firepower, and from that position, you can go directly up to the second position!"
Dai Wannian picked up the telescope and looked in the direction Xia Yuan was pointing. There was darkness at that location. The outline of the mountain slowly emerged in the smoke. He could vaguely see the enemy's remaining fortifications on the ridge. There was indeed a bunker, but why?
It doesn't even look like the remains of a bunker.
He said: "Are you sure that location is feasible?"
That position was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the enemy had set up a bunker above them. They rushed over. If the situation in the bunker was different from what Xia Yuan said, the consequences would be disastrous.
Xia Yuan nodded and stared at the second position: "Captain Dai, we will be the commando team. After we go up, you can follow up."
Dai Wannian flatly refused and said: "How can we do it? The first platoon leader lets the third squad be the commando team!"
He said: "Captain Xia, wait here!"
The soldiers of the third squad quickly formed three combat groups, moving left and right into the darkness. Bright light sources continued to come from the No. 2 position, and the enemy's flares were launched into the sky one after another, and were extinguished in tens of seconds.
On the Shangganling position filled with gunpowder smoke.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As Xia Yuan said, that position is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the enemy's firepower point on the top of the mountain has been blown up, and their progress is extremely smooth.
Encountering too much enemy resistance, they quickly occupied the bunker in the direction pointed by Xia Yuan and relied on the bunker to establish a firepower point on the flank of the second position.
Dai Wannian showed a happy look on his face and immediately ordered the soldiers to quickly attack the foreign Japanese on position 2. A row of soldiers were like sharp knives, thrusting straight into the enemy's flank.
When the enemy reacted and hurriedly constructed firepower points to attack a row of soldiers attacking from the flank, Xia Yuan led four soldiers into the enemy's position. Through night vision, he saw the enemy's structure from a distance.
He picked up a grenade and threw it at the enemy's fire point. The grenade flew across the sky, landed on the enemy's fire point, and exploded with a bang.
The infant firepower was destroyed by Xia Yuan.
"Grandma's, it's so fried!"
Company Commander Dai Wannian was surprised and delighted. What surprised him was that the enemy responded so quickly. It was no wonder that the second row of soldiers still couldn't attack even though they suffered huge casualties. The enemy quickly built firepower points alone and responded extremely quickly.
It is completely unmatched by the soldiers of our army. After blowing up one of the enemy's firepower points, new firepower points will emerge.
Fortunately, this enemy firepower point was blown up without causing much damage to a row of soldiers.
He turned to look in the direction where the grenade was thrown, and saw a scene he would never forget. After the Battle of Shangganling, when he returned to China, he wrote an essay titled "The Brave Bombardier-Ninth Company Commander."
'That battle was difficult, but it turned around because of the appearance of a soldier. He was Xia Yuan, the commander of the ninth company of the 135th Regiment. He fought bloody battles in Shangganling for three days, and even though he had no troops at all, he still insisted on fighting the enemy.
In combat, his bomb-dropping ability is by far the best I have ever seen. Before the enemy's firepower point has been established, he can see a grenade flying over from a distance and exploding in the sky above the enemy's firepower point that has not yet been established.'
'He not only has excellent bomb-dropping ability, but also has very strong observation ability. When the enemy is building a firepower point, even if it is a hundred meters away, he cannot escape his eyes and the grenade in his hand, so that he can turn in from behind.
After the tunnel battle, every time he conducted a night counterattack, he was able to successfully complete the task of attacking the enemy's fire bunker built on the ridge with relatively small casualties. He was the only hope for all the soldiers in Tunnel No. 1 to continue fighting.
, which was also the spiritual pillar that supported the soldiers through that period of time.'
'He is very optimistic and always tells us that the war will be won and it will be won.'
'As he said, the war was won.'
The grenades floating overhead continued to explode above the enemy's heads. The spreading clouds of gunpowder smoke not only attracted the soldiers in the first row, but also attracted the remaining soldiers in the second row who were responsible for attacking the front.
Hand grenades, carrying their hope, kept falling over the enemy's fire points.
What reaches your sight is a cloud of gunpowder smoke permeating the enemy's head. What reaches your ears is a sound of explosions that resound above the enemy's head.
The soldiers had never seen such a precise bombing ability. This scene happened on Shangganling. The appearance of Xia Yuan changed the situation of the battle. The enemy's firepower was in Xia Yuan's hands, like paper. No matter how hard the firepower was, as long as Xia Yuan
If you fire the grenade, even if it doesn't explode, you can still throw it at the muzzle of the enemy's bunker, blowing up the enemy's bunker and temporarily shutting down the fire.
After witnessing how powerful Xia Yuan's bomb-dropping ability was, Company Commander Dai Wannian immediately ordered all soldiers to support, cover, and charge with Xia Yuan as the center, and attack the enemy's positions with Xia Yuan as the core.
The effect of this order was to greatly change the casualties suffered by our army during the attack on the enemy. Xia Yuan's attack method was very simple. He fired rifles and covered the blasting team soldiers to carry out face-breaking blasts. The enemy's firepower sounded again, and a grenade was used.
When the enemy's machine gun exploded, the soldiers stood up and rushed over with the blasting barrel. The blasting barrel was pulled and twisted directly into the frontier. With a roar, the enemy's machine gun bunker was rolled up by the huge explosion.
The Eighth Company and One Platoon were like sharp knives, piercing into the heart of the enemy. The enemy's flank defense line, which had been attacking the enemy's flanks with powerful firepower for nearly half an hour, was like a piece of wood chopped down by a machete. Suddenly, a
Huge gap.
The enemy on Position 2 collapsed in just over half an hour.
The remaining soldiers of the second platoon also successfully broke through the enemy's firepower point under the cover of the soldiers of the first platoon. The bugler of the eighth company sounded the charge call for counterattack. At this moment, the angry soldiers of the second platoon raised their guns.
, rushing toward the enemy, their eyes were firm and angry, and the images of the platoon leader, squad leader, and one of their comrades who died kept reappearing in their minds.
They turned this emotion into motivation to attack the enemy. Position No. 2 was full of volunteer soldiers fighting with the enemy.
As soon as the enemy emerged from the bomb shelter in the trench, a grenade suddenly flew over from the dark night sky in the distance and exploded on their heads. Immediately, there were many casualties, screams and wailings. Volunteer soldiers were everywhere around them.
As the figure passed by, the U.S. troops on Position 2 were completely routed.
After the enemy at position 2 was defeated, the volunteers who became more and more courageous in the Vietnam War quickly reinforced the volunteers at position 11. Under the enemy's intensive firepower, our soldiers were suppressed and could not lift their heads. Xia Yuan shouted: "Cover me
!”
Under the streaks of fire caused by the enemy's bullets, and under the dirt that the bullets kept falling on the ground, Xia Yuan suddenly emerged from the bunker.
Dai Wannian knew Xia Yuan's bomb-dropping ability and shouted: "Machine gunner, beat me hard! Press them down!"
The enemy's bullets were still dense. Looking at Xia Yuan walking through the hail of bullets, many soldiers sweated for Xia Yuan. Dai Wannian grabbed the soil hard and looked at the enemy's machine gun bunker.
Under the constant suppression of the gunmen, the enemy's heavy firepower was intermittent, which bought Xia Yuan a lot of time. He kept approaching the enemy's machine gun bunker. After reaching the position where he could drop the bomb, Xia Yuan fired a grenade and threw it hard.
After going out, the grenade drew a parabola in the sky. In the eyes of all the soldiers, the grenade landed steadily in front of the enemy's machine gun bunker.
Bang.
With a burst of smoke and fire, the enemy's machine gun bunker suddenly went into flames.
Dai Wannian's eyes widened, "It exploded beautifully! Go ahead and blow up this stupid machine gun bunker!"
The soldiers responsible for the blast jumped out of the bunker, stared at the enemy's machine gun bunker, and rushed over quickly. A grenade floated above their heads. Xia Yuan was supporting them. The grenades were fired like grenades.
It came out and landed accurately on the enemy's head, and the shattered shrapnel caused the foreign devils to scream in surprise.
All the soldiers were impressed by the bomb-dropping skills of the Ninth Company Commander. The Eighth Company soldiers who witnessed Xia Yuan's bomb-dropping skills shouted "Long live the Ninth Company Commander" and rushed into the enemy's forward position that was blown up.
