Chapter 25 The second row unable to advance or retreat
Moreover, his position has been exposed, and the US military's artillery shells are falling around him one by one. Using artillery to deal with snipers with accurate marksmanship is the most correct method.
The pressure on Xia Yuan was huge. The volunteers during the Shangganling period had already experienced two years of the Korean War and had rich experience in fighting the US military. It was the first time for most of the 180th Division to confront the US military head-on, especially the enemy's strength.
Still above him, it was expected that a row of soldiers would be suppressed.
War is not a one-person show. Even if he sniped and killed the US military bunker, the enemy's several cannons behind the mountain caused them huge trouble. The mortars brought about another attack.
The fallen bunker sounded again, and Xia Yuan himself had been exposed. Other soldiers were unable to help at all, and the entire front was suppressed.
There was no progress on the left and right sides, so the enemy's center of gravity could be placed entirely on the front. After breaking through to the forward position, their pressure not only did not decrease, but became even greater.
The first time he fought against the US military, a row of soldiers were blinded by the enemy's firepower. Captain Lei saw that Xia Yuan and a squad of soldiers had almost broken through the enemy's forward position, but suddenly they were stuck there, unable to advance or retreat.
Seeing that the frontal battlefield was at a disadvantage, Chen Lie immediately said: "Company Commander, I request the third platoon to join the battle!!"
Captain Lei retracted his gaze and said: "The enemy's firepower is very fierce, and the terrain is not conducive to our army. You must be careful when you go up. In addition, bring the bazooka who is supporting the regiment. One platoon has been dragged down by the enemy.
If we don't open the enemy's defense line for too long and wait until daybreak, it will be difficult to attack again."
During the day, the U.S. Air Force can carry out precision bombing, which is not conducive to the operations of the volunteers. At least for night operations, once a war breaks out, the U.S. Air Force cannot distinguish between ourselves and the enemy and does not dare to bomb rashly.
"yes!"
Chen Lie stood at attention and immediately retreated. His voice came from a distance: "Third Platoon, set off immediately to support the First Platoon!"
"yes!"
One platoon was already in a hard fight.
The left and right wings were suppressed by the US military. Xia Yuan in the center was blocked by enemy artillery fire and could not advance or retreat. Lao Yang and the others were under the threat of the enemy's heavy machine guns. They could not tear apart the enemy's defense line with their submachine guns alone.
In addition, the enemy's position is inherently easy to defend and difficult to attack. The front of the platoon is faced with a company of U.S. troops. Even if this company is attacked by volunteer artillery fire for five minutes, even if there are casualties, it will still be a loss.
It is difficult to break through.
"Damn, the enemy's firepower is pretty good, but due to the terrain, they can't attack or retreat. The left and right wings are completely suppressed and can't work."
Xia Yuan cursed secretly. After all, it was due to the terrain. The front of their attack was like three single-plank bridges. If you look at the first highland from a high altitude, it looks like three fingers. There are steep cliffs on both sides.
It is three or four meters high and can only attack the enemy from the ridge. The enemy can completely block this ridge with a bunker. What's more, the ridge extends to the top of the mountain, forming an open area. This results in the enemy's bunker being able to disperse.
Open, and their attack can only rely on this ridge. If they go to both sides, they will fall down the mountain.
Such terrain is simply a nightmare for attack.
In front of him and behind him, even if the soldiers were dispersed enough, the enemy's artillery fire was vented all around, gravel and shrapnel were scattered, and soil was raised, still causing a lot of casualties to the soldiers.
They had crossed the ridge and reached the edge of the opening, but they were blocked here by enemy fire. The enemies on the left and right wings could also form a pincer attack on them. If the first and second squads on the left and right wings did not break through, they would always be in a trap.
Here, there is no way to advance or retreat.
The arrival of the third platoon relieved the pressure on them, and Chen Lie's voice came from behind: "Lao Xia, I brought the bazooka."
With a boom, artillery shells exploded next to Xia Yuan, mud flew up, and a string of hot bullets passed above his head. The whooshing sound made people's scalp numb.
"Don't come up. Go to the left and right wings to help Class One and Class Two. All you need to do is open any breach on the left and right wings, and the enemies on my side will be defeated without any attack!"
It's not that Xia Yuan can't hit him from the front, it's just that the enemies on the left and right have free hands to suppress him, and the enemies on the left and right wings are in a position where he can't hit him. As a result, the enemy can easily suppress their third squad, but they can't fight back.
On the other hand, the enemy's firepower was extremely fierce.
This is also understandable. The American devils who have just experienced the first stage of the Fifth Battle a few days ago and have suffered losses will make such mistakes again. They are no different from fools. They know that the pressure on their buttocks is great, so they must arm their buttocks. Just
Three highlands separated by less than a few miles, almost adjacent to each other on the top of a hill, were stationed with a battalion of enemy troops, which shows the determination of the US military this time.
The current situation must be opened quickly.
Chen Lie, who heard Xia Yuan's voice, immediately asked people to bring bazooka to support the left and right wings. He placed a squad of soldiers behind Xia Yuan to help Xia Yuan's third squad reduce the immediate pressure.
In the second row, Ma Daguo heard the fierce gunshots coming from the frontal battle and the flares rising in the sky in the distance. He knew that Lao Xia had led a row of people to fight the enemy, and immediately urged the soldiers: "Speed up, we
You have to touch the enemy's behind quickly."
Suddenly, a flare shot up from above their heads. In an instant, the entire world was illuminated, and the battle formation of the second row was suddenly exposed.
Ma Daguo was shocked and looked around, but he didn't understand where the flare came from.
As his thoughts turned, a series of bullets suddenly shot down from the back hill. The hot bullets penetrated into the second row. Several soldiers' bodies were penetrated by bullets, their cotton clothes were stained with blood, and they fell heavily to the ground.
"Lao Qi!!"
"Comrade Xiong Wen!"
Cries of grief were heard.
"hidden!"
The big man reacted and fell to the ground holding the gun.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In an instant, pop-pop, the bullet exploded above his head, and the soil splashed all over his face. Ma Da yelled: "What's going on? What's going on here?"
There will be enemy flares!”
"Platoon commander, we have touched an illumination mine planted by the enemy!"
one of the soldiers shouted.
Ma Daguo was shocked and looked around. Except for the barbed wire that they had destroyed before, there were no traces of mines anywhere. What he didn't know was that this kind of flares did not need to be buried in the soil. It was also their lack of experience that led them to
of the enemy's illumination mines.
The enemy's heavy machine gun looked down at them. As soon as the big man raised his head, another string of bullets was fired at him. The bullets sank into the soil and gave him a mouthful of mud.
Suddenly, there was a scream of artillery shells across the sky. Two shells landed on the ground above Ma Daguo's head. The air wave almost blew off his hat. Ma Daguo reached out his hand to hold his hat and cursed: "Damn it."
, this place is still more than a hundred meters away from the mountain, and it is a rugged mountain road. We are now suppressed here, with only one platoon and no heavy firepower. How can we attack up there! Take your life to fill it!?"
The enemy's two machine gun bunkers above us formed a crossfire. Just one platoon would never be able to fill it up even if it was filled with lives. There were American soldiers on both sides of the bunker to help cover it. They only had submachine guns in their hands. Once the distance was too far, the bullets of the submachine guns would not be able to fill it.
I know where it went.
Even if it hits the enemy, how can it threaten the enemies in the bunker?
"No matter, come on!"
When the earth rolled up by the shells fell, the enemy's heavy machine gun stopped making noise. Ma Daguo aimed at the opportunity, shouted, and rushed forward with his gun. The enemy's bullets were fired at the road in front of Ma Daguo.
"Old horse! Hidden!"
The deputy platoon leader of the second platoon was startled and shouted quickly.
The big horse fell down behind a reverse slope, spat out the dirt in his mouth, and bared his teeth: "Grandma, you have to hit it up. If you can't hit it up, there are only two rows in front, how can you hit it down!"
Ma Daguo was still worried about the frontal battlefield. He had been attacked by the US military behind him, so what would be the situation of the frontal enemy?
Suddenly he heard a deafening roar in front of him. It was heard so far across a mountain. Ma Daguo became more and more anxious to attack the mountain. But he was more anxious than ever. He also understood that without an attack plan, he would blindly attack the mountain.
Attacking will only cause huge casualties.
He immediately shouted: "I'm going to blow up the bunker, you help me attract the firepower!"
When the deputy platoon leader heard this, he was horrified: "No, the enemy's firepower is too fierce, and they are condescending. Coupled with the mountains and terrain here, a night attack is okay. If it is a force attack, it will be difficult to attack with just one platoon!"
"
In front of them is Highland 311. The mountain is steep and difficult to attack. They have already observed before that if they can attack it, the mountain will suddenly become clearer. Both sides will be on the same level. The combat capabilities of the volunteers will be much higher.
For the US military, there is no doubt that victory must belong to them.
But I'm afraid I won't be able to attack.
The second platoon was tasked with the task of interleaving, but they never expected to be disadvantaged. Just as they reached the foot of the mountain, they touched the flare mine left by the enemy. The flare jumped into the air. Their battle formation was suddenly exposed, and the enemy's heavy
A machine gun was stationed on the top of the mountain, commanding them, and they were completely blocked in the col.
Ma Da was calm and grinned, cursing: "What are you going to do about this girl? I can't attack, but I can't retreat. I can't retreat."
The deputy platoon leader looked around and had no good idea in mind. The enemy's bullets kept shooting down from above his head. The two bunkers on the mountain were able to form two lines of crossfire with strong firepower, blocking the entrance and exit roads of the mountain col.
The situation was quite steep, and for a while it was impossible to advance or retreat.
The soldiers could only withstand the enemy's bullets and hide behind bunkers.
Platoon Three, after trying several attacks and losing several soldiers, the support of Platoon Three finally arrived, and they also carried the bazooka, a weapon for attacking fortresses. Zhou Xingyong burst into tears with excitement. He said: "Old Sun
, I’m not afraid of your jokes. I have attacked the enemy’s two bunkers seven or eight times, but I just can’t defeat them. The enemy’s geographical location is so good. The two bunkers are like guarding the gates of these two entrances. A lot of sacrifices have been made.
Even the soldiers failed to defeat them."
Squad Leader Sun was the squad leader of the second squad of the third platoon. He saw that Zhou Xingyong only had eight or nine wounded soldiers left in his hands. He simply put on a bandage and still insisted on not retreating from the position. He felt awe in his heart and said:
"We arrived too late, so we set up the bazooka and blasted it hard at the foreign enemy's bunker!"
"yes!"
The soldiers of the third platoon and the second squad were moved by their comrades. They clenched their fists and glared at the enemy bunker. A soldier came up and held a black bucket, and asked another soldier to help him carry it on his shoulders.
Go up, stuff the rockets, and aim at the bunker that is spitting out tongues of fire in the distance.
call out!
A rocket fired towards the enemy's bunker at a speed invisible to everyone. With a huge roar, and under the flickering firelight, the flame-spraying machine gun bunker disappeared as the ground shook.
The soldiers cheered in unison.
The soldier controlling the bazooka pursed his lips tightly and murmured while reloading ammunition: "Don't worry, there is still a bunker."
He aimed at the bunker in the distance. Suddenly there was a whistling sound above his head. He was startled. He quickly pressed the bazooka under him and buried his head in the soil. With several roars, the shells exploded beside him.
The soil almost buried him.
"Help!"
Squad leader Sun was startled and quickly pulled the soldier out of the soil. He caught a piece of hot, moist, muddy soil. He lowered his head and saw that under the illumination of the flare, it was a piece of soil stained with blood.
"Dong Shiwei! Dong Shiwei!"
His hands moved faster, pulling Dong Shiwei out of the soil, and patted Dong Shiwei's dirty face with his hand.
Dong Shiwei opened his eyes: "Squad leader, Ba, Bazooka, are you okay?"
Monitor Sun glanced at Dong Shiwei's belly and said in a trembling voice: "No, it's okay. How are you, hygienist, hygienist?"
"Squad leader, I'm fine. There's another bunker. Let me blow it up."
"No!" Squad leader Sun continued to shout: "Hygienist!"
"Squad leader, if you don't blow it up, more soldiers will die. Bazooka, I used it well, but the ammunition is small. If it misses, it will be wasted."
Dong Shiwei supported his body and looked at the exploded cotton clothes and bloody wounds on his stomach. He endured the excruciating pain and got up shivering to hold the bazooka, but he couldn't lift the strength. He wanted to let the squad leader
Help him, open your mouth, and the blood will flow.
"Dong Shiwei!"
Dong Shiwei said nothing and struggled to lift the bazooka. Squad leader Sun quickly put down the gun in his hand and said, "I'll help you!"
He supported Bazooka and looked at the trembling Dong Shiwei. His eyes suddenly turned red. Zhou Xingyong clenched his fists hard and stared at the bunker in the distance where fire was being sprayed to suppress the soldiers.
Dong Shiwei held it for a while before slowly pulling the trigger.
Phew! Rockets that could not be caught by the naked eye were shot out, and accompanied by a violent explosion, Squad Leader Sun quickly looked up and saw that the enemy's bunker had been shrouded in flames. He said excitedly: "It's done, it's done, it's done,
The enemy’s bunker was blown up by Dong Shiwei!”
Seeing the enemy's bunker explode, Dong Shiwei grinned and blood dripped from his mouth to the ground. His eyes gradually dimmed and he fell down.
