Company Commander Lei came over and said: "We have all heard what the platoon leader just said, and he has his own opinion. The American devils are very different from any enemy we have fought against in the past. According to the meeting held at the division headquarters, the Americans
It is the country with the most powerful military in the world. They have advanced weapons and equipment that are far superior to ours. However, the enemy's simple machine gun bunkers are uniquely constructed, convenient and fast. They are the fastest type of US military field fortifications.
Usually it takes fifteen to thirty minutes to build a machine gun bunker. If they are well prepared, they can even build a machine gun bunker in ten minutes."
For ten minutes, the soldiers couldn't help but click their tongues.
Instructor Shao said: "Last year, the American devils had already reached our Yalu River, but this year, we have fought the American devils to the 38th parallel. After several battles, we have eliminated a large number of American devils. What nonsense is the military in the world?"
The most powerful country is just a paper tiger, and it is still defeated by our volunteer army."
The soldiers said one after another: "American devils are paper tigers!"
Company Commander Lei said: "Our superiors gave us two nights to pull out the three nails directly in front of us. I said, two nights is too much time. One night will do. My soldiers are so fierce. Three nails."
No matter what, even if they have four or five roots, we can still uproot them!"
Simply mobilizing the fighting enthusiasm of the soldiers, he added: "Hurry up and pack up the ammunition, we will set off immediately!"
"yes!"
The soldiers had no time to pack up the supplies left by the American soldiers on the high ground. They simply replenished the ammunition brought up by the comrades in the cooking squad. As for the supplies on this side of the position, they would eventually be picked up by the munitions department. They had to continue to the next American soldier.
In this position, there was not even time to feel sad. Each soldier filled the previously empty magazine with bullets. In about a few minutes, three platoons of soldiers fired at the enemy.
Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao personally led the soldiers of the first company to march towards the enemy's 372 Heights.
When setting off, there was another commotion in the team. There were three squads in a row. When attacking the enemy's defense line on the right, most of the soldiers in the third squad were injured. Although they were able to continue fighting, if they continued to fight, the consequences would be disastrous.
Xia Yuan wanted them to stay at the 311 position and receive treatment, but the soldiers did not agree. They had finally been able to fight the American soldiers. They had just participated in the battle, and they had to withdraw from the next battle because of injuries. This caused many injuries.
The soldiers could not accept it.
"Platoon leader, just let us follow you, help cover and suppress fire. We can do it and we will never cause trouble for you!"
"Yes, Platoon Commander, even though I was injured, I can still move my legs and still hold a gun to fight the American soldiers. How can I withdraw from the next battle just because of a minor injury?"
"I still want to win glory for the country and cannot withdraw from the battle. Platoon leader, just let us follow."
Injured soldiers, you and I could not convince Xia Yuan. He looked at the injured soldiers and said in a commanding tone: "You should rest well for the next battle. We will need you in the future."
, instead of dragging your injured bodies to fight against the American devils! This is not a request, but an order!"
Xia Yuan felt helpless in his heart. He was very moved by the soldiers' behavior of being unwilling to step into the line of fire even though they were injured. People in this era are so pure and their thoughts are so clean, but he couldn't bear it in his heart and continued to let him go.
They fought with injuries, something he couldn't do.
He could also use a stern tone to order these injured soldiers to stay on Highland 311 for treatment.
Captain Lei lamented: "Our soldiers are always so cute."
Instructor Shao said: "After all, we are the cutest people!"
Considering that the next battle might be even more brutal and that the injured soldiers would not be able to shoulder the tough battle, Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao believed that Xia Yuan's order was right. In the end, thirteen injured comrades from the third and first platoons remained.
On the 311th position.
On the one hand, it is to receive treatment, and on the other hand, it is to watch the 311 position and not let the American devils touch it.
Also left behind were health workers and soldiers from the cooking class.
On the way out, Captain Lei found Ma Daguo and said: "Ma Daguo, what's wrong with you? You can't do the interleaved mission well!"
Ma Da felt aggrieved: "Company commander, instructor, who knew that the foreign devils also set up flares behind the mountain? The mines can't be seen at all. As soon as they hit the mines, the flares flew up, and the formation of the second row suddenly changed.
We were exposed, and before we could react, the enemy's guns rang out. It was just a platoon. The terrain was not good, we couldn't fight, and we couldn't retreat."
"Just looking for excuses, a platoon leader and a squad destroyed two American machine gun bunkers. You have seen the terrain. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. How could they do it?"
Captain Lei glared at the boy, "If you break through the enemy's back in advance and attack Hill 311 from the rear, more soldiers will be sacrificed, and the enemy's high ground will be captured in a shorter time."
The big man kept his head down and said nothing, thinking in his mind that when he attacked Highland 372, he must show the American Japanese how powerful they were.
Height 372 is a hilltop behind Highland 311, with an altitude of 400 meters and a gentle slope. It is a highland that is easy to attack. The terrain is not as bad as 311. They had already observed the enemy's troop deployment on the hilltop.
Highland 311 was a huge nail in their continuous offensive path, which was difficult to pull out. They still overcame this huge difficulty, while Highland 372 was relatively simple. The enemy built simple fortifications and fire bunkers on the top of the mountain.
This is the basic structure of the American devils. There are bomb shelters and troop hoarding tunnels in the curved and surrounding field trenches. Its sturdiness is not weaker than the tunnels dug by the volunteer soldiers on the reverse slope of the mountain.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In this regard, the American devils also have very rich experience.
It's just that compared to the volunteer soldiers digging holes on the reverse slope of the mountain, the American soldiers prefer to dig holes underground, as it seems that they can feel very comfortable that way.
Highland 311 was attacked by volunteers. The American soldiers on Highland 372 had already entered a fighting state. Xia Yuan observed the American soldiers on the mountain. They had set up mortars in the rear and piled up a large number of mortars in the forward positions.
Ammunition, four or five light and heavy machine guns were set up in the machine gun bunker, and the Super Bazooka was also ready.
Big Ma was a little confused and asked: "It's strange, since the American devils already knew that Hill 311 was lost, why didn't they light up those flares? It's so dark. If the American devils changed their defense situation,
It’s very detrimental to us.”
While observing with a telescope, Captain Lei said: "You also know that the enemy may change the defense situation, so why do they use flares to expose the defense situation on their own positions?"
The big man scratched his head.
Instructor Shao observed for a while, composed himself, looked at the time on his watch, and said: "These American devils are already preparing. It is now eleven o'clock. From six o'clock to now, we have wasted a lot of time. If
If we waste more time on Highland 372, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pull out the enemy's three nails before dawn, which will inevitably affect the subsequent battle."
Company Commander Lei said: "We can't wait any longer. Just follow the predetermined battle plan. Any situation on the battlefield may happen. Be prepared to adapt accordingly."
The weather conditions in the past few days have been worrying. There is no moon at night, and it is so dark that it is difficult to observe the deployment of the American soldiers on the battlefield. Under such circumstances, Xia Yuan used his huge advantage.
Said: "Company commander, instructor, don't worry, I have a new battle plan."
It is very difficult to convince them without exposing one's abilities. After all, the enemy's defense situation on these highlands has been observed for a long time. When night comes, it is very likely that the enemy will change the current defense situation.
Small, but it's not impossible. It's just that it's too dark, so it's difficult for commanders and soldiers to figure out the situation on the enemy's position.
There is no way to do this. The weather conditions in other areas are not as bad as those in the central area. Only the conditions in their area are like this. The weather is hazy and hazy, which seems to mean something. It may suddenly rain somewhere in the upper reaches of the Han River.
It's possible that it will rain.
Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao were a little stunned when they heard Xia Yuan's new battle plan. Xia Yuan was also a veteran in their company. If he hadn't often abandoned his troops and charged recklessly, maybe he could have been promoted higher.
, I didn’t expect that when he arrived on the Korean battlefield, he seemed to have gotten rid of his recklessness.
When attacking Highland 311, there were obvious changes. He no longer brought victory to the troops with his own reckless attack and broke through the enemy's defense line. Such victory was always accompanied by sacrifice. Instead, he fought steadily and gradually moved forward.
Pushing forward, even at the final moment when he was suppressed by enemy firepower, he did not make a risky charge. Instead, he believed in his comrades on the left and right wings and believed that they could help relieve the pressure on the frontal battlefield.
This change is undoubtedly good.
But what surprised them even more was that when they attacked Highland 372, this guy actually said that he had a new battle plan.
The two became interested.
"Tell me what the battle plan is."
Xia Yuan stared at Highland 372 in the distance. The enemy's blockade was very tight, but there were always weaknesses. For example, the American troops' defenses with fire bunkers were relatively weak, but those without fire bunkers were very strong.
, then they can completely hit the troops, attack the enemy's fire bunker point, tear open the enemy's defense line at an unexpected speed, and then bloom among the enemy.
"As long as our firepower is strong enough to quickly eliminate the enemy's fire bunker, then the next battle will be a battle that blooms from the middle to the surroundings. The enemy is not our opponent. In this regard, they have to ask
We call him grandpa."
Xia Yuan's plan was a bold one. The company only had such a small number of troops. Once they were unable to attack within a short time, the enemy would react and there would be no troops on the left and right to contain the enemy. They would most likely be surrounded by the enemy, and the enemy's machine gun firepower would not only be
It will not become their breakthrough point, but will become the last straw that breaks their death.
Captain Lei thought for a while and said: "Although the plan is good, it is very risky. We only have two bazookas. How can we quickly destroy the enemy's machine gun bunker, let alone break through the enemy's defense line."
Instructor Shao also understood that the plan was a good plan, but for a company that seriously lacked the weapons to attack tough targets, a good plan would turn out to be a bad plan.
Lao Yang couldn't help but said: "Report to the company commander, when attacking Highland 311, Lao Xia used American guns to blind the enemy's firepower points, which relieved the huge pressure for us to attack the enemy's forward position. I
Thought I could give it a try.”
Chen Lie hesitated for a moment and then said: "Company Commander, I can testify to Lao Yang that when we attacked the enemy's high ground, the enemy had a machine gun fire point blocking our way. Lao Xia just took aim and fired.
, the enemy’s machine gun firepower was in vain, we thought we could give it a try.”
Big Ma was a little surprised: "Lao Xia can really blind the enemy's machine gun bunker with a gun!?"
He was a little unbelievable.
Chen Lie said: "Well, we saw with our own eyes that the enemy's machine gun bunker had just fired a few bullets before being blinded by Xia Yuan's shot. This relieved us a lot of pressure in chasing the American devils."
Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao looked at each other, thinking about the feasibility of this plan.
Captain Lei picked up a branch on the ground, drew an irregular circle on the ground, and said: "Compare this circle to Highland 372. The enemy's machine gun bunkers are densely located here."
He used a branch to point at a relatively protruding position and said: "This position is where the enemy's firepower points are most densely arranged. The more five machine gun bunkers there are, the firepower bunkers in other areas will not be so serious. In some places, there are even
There is no fire bunker, but the road to attack is very steep, making it an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack location.”
Xia Yuan observed the enemy's position, and the situation was very different from what Captain Lei said.
Company Commander Lei added: "If according to what the platoon leader thought, the enemy would deploy fewer troops at the machine gun fire point and more troops in other places, I think it is unlikely. On the contrary, the enemy would deploy a large number of troops in the machine gun bunker.
troops, because areas without machine gun fire bunkers are mostly areas that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.”
He said: "Although the idea is good, if it is the same as what I think, even if we can break through the blockade of the enemy's machine gun bunker, the enemy's troop deployment will be a huge problem for us."
Instructor Shao felt that what Captain Lei said was more reliable. After all, according to Zhisi's attack time, the weather here was not good. There were dark clouds in the sky at night, and the visibility was not high. Except for what was observed during the day,
It is difficult to observe the enemy's defense situation on high ground at night, especially the 311 highland which was attacked by them.
There is no guarantee that the enemy will change the defense situation on Highland 372.
