"The enemy will not build such useless fortifications for no reason."
"There are still many ahead. The US military here has obviously moved forward, so why do they still build so many fortifications?"
"This means that the enemy's artillery is behind!"
Xia Yuan squinted and stared behind. The winding mountains blocked his sight, but he was basically sure that the enemy's artillery group was behind.
Qin Shoutian was a little excited. He had done a lot of reconnaissance missions. People with unique vision like Xia Yuan were really rare. He had never thought about it at all. He just thought that these fortifications were built by the US military as they advanced.
After that, these fortifications remained.
These fortifications left behind are not accidental. If the US infantry is stationed along the way, they will build a large number of machine gun fire bunkers. Such fire bunkers are very simple. They can be built in a very short time with sandbags and logs. If you want
It's even simpler, you just need to pile some sandbags in front of you, which can also serve as a firepower point.
These remaining firepower points can be used for reconnaissance and defense deployment by the troops in the rear when they are marching.
There is no US artillery group in the ravine, so it can be seen that the US artillery group must be behind them.
Sure enough, they passed through the ravine, and an open land suddenly appeared in front of them. There were American troops stationed on the mountainside of the mountain pass. Barbed wire fences were spread all over the place. The lights of the cars were particularly obvious. They pulled 105 howitzers and searchlights shone back and forth in the forest.
Qin Shoutian and Xia Yuan were shocked at the same time. Hidden behind a huge boulder on the ridge, there was a US military sentry in front. They were on the same ridge as them. At the foot of the mountain was the US artillery position. It was brightly lit. There were also firepower points in the fortifications here.
A large number of American troops entered and deployed defenses along the way.
"U.S. artillery group!" Qin Shoutian observed his surroundings and used his memory to memorize the terrain around the enemy's artillery group.
"Those trucks were pulling a cannon behind them, and U.S. military reinforcements were coming."
Xia Yuan's eyes moved slightly, secretly thinking that it was bad.
"We conducted reconnaissance along the way and found that a regiment of reinforcements from the US military was coming from the west. It cannot be done so fast."
Qin Shoutian shook his head and said resolutely: "This is definitely not the reinforcement of the US military from that regiment."
"I found no signs of U.S. military reinforcements in the ravine. These artillery reinforcements came from other directions."
Xia Yuan's voice was a little solemn: "They are going to bombard Highland 336.8 this morning after the sun rises. These guns are prepared for the morning attack."
"Platoon Commander Xia, what should we do!?"
Qin Shoutian asked anxiously, "With so many howitzers, if we blast the high ground once, how many soldiers will survive? We can't let them succeed."
Xia Yuan was thinking, and at the same time he was staring at the American artillery position down the mountain, "One, two, three..."
"Platoon leader Xia?" Qin Shoutian called softly.
"Don't worry, I'll count how many U.S. military sentries there are."
Xia Yuan continued to count, slightly surprised. A medium-sized artillery corps had more than 40 large and small sentries, both open and hidden, on the ridges, halfway up the mountain, and in the woods. Are any of them buried?
The landmines are unknown, and the foreign devils will probably not let go of the means of laying landmines.
The 1st Marine Division was so frightened by the Ninth Corps that it now had more than 40 open and hidden sentries for night surveillance, which was a bit crazy.
But think about it, the 1st Marine Division has just completed the Incheon landing and is marching confidently towards the Yalu River on the border between China and North Korea. It is backed by the world's most powerful country, the United States, which has the most powerful weapons and nuclear weapons in the world.
An advanced naval aircraft carrier battle group, with top-notch logistical supplies, and more than a dozen countries supporting each other, this is a battle that attracts worldwide attention.
And their 1st Marine Division is the ace among aces, the elite among the elite.
I never thought that the Volunteer Army was almost wiped out by the Volunteer Army in the first battle, so much so that the current First Marine Division is a little afraid of the Volunteer Army. It cannot sleep at night without turning on the lights, without laying enough mines around itself, and without setting up enough sentries.
I can't sleep well.
Xia Yuan wanted to laugh, but with a hint of bitterness, he defeated the 1st Marine Division and the 9th Corps also paid a heavy price. They made huge sacrifices for this battle. He was a witness to that battle.
, the degree of cruelty is self-evident.
As he thought about it, Xia Yuan's eyes became firm.
It’s a shame these people are fucked!
Xia Yueying observed for more than twenty minutes. With the help of eagle eyes and night vision, he discovered several loopholes in the enemy's tight defense. After all, people are human, and not everyone in the US military is conscientious. Even those sentries
Not all US troops are willing to keep an eye on their surroundings, especially in the second half of the night, which is a test of will.
Many of the newly added soldiers to the 1st Marine Division are college students. They want to enter the army and gain experience, but they never expected to be sent to the Korean battlefield. Many of these college students have no willpower. How can that area of the United States be better?
Domestic students are simply incomparable.
During this period, domestic students were full of faith, and students in no other country were more determined than students in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
It was precisely this that gave Xia Yuan the opportunity. He took Qin Shoutian down the ridge, walked through the dense forest, carefully walked through the minefields, and observed for himself at several enemy sentries. Just as he thought,
There are many American troops at the sentry posts who are fast asleep.
There are two or three soldiers in the guard post. These soldiers belong to the same company and know each other. If one wants to sleep, he will take the other two to sleep with him.
They also comforted each other: "Relax, the Chinese will not appear here. We have infantry in front of us. We are safe. Don't worry. Go to sleep. I also slept last night. It's okay."
.”
Seeing that everyone I knew was asleep, it was completely pointless to watch alone, so I just lay down in my sleeping bag and slept.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In fact, as the artillery force of the US military, the logistics force is the safest. The volunteers have limited means to deal with the US artillery. They cannot bombard others with artillery.
They can only carry out sneak attacks, and often they will be discovered. Not all volunteer soldiers who cross the troops have night vision and eagle eyes like Xia Yuan.
The logistics troops, behind the U.S. military, suffered basically no casualties.
When the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea just broke out, the U.S. Air Force suffered fewer casualties and was very safe. However, later on, the Volunteer Army had the means to deal with aircraft, and the U.S. Air Force was no longer safe. The most unsafe ones were the frontline combat units, the Volunteer Army.
The combat power is too strong, which is obvious to all. The casualties of division, interspersion, guerrilla and frontline combat troops are very high.
"The foreign devils in these sentries are all resting."
Qin Shoutian was a little surprised by the route Xia Yuan took him. All the sentry soldiers passing by were sleeping. He didn't understand these foreign devils. They were in a battlefield now and it was very dangerous at night, but they were still in the mood to sleep.
"Student soldiers have no fighting will. They came to the Korean battlefield just to hang around. They all look forward to returning home early. When they get to the battlefield, without the supervising troops, they retreat faster than anyone else."
Xia Yuan explained to Qin Shoutian.
"All the student dolls were sent to the battlefield?" Qin Shoutian was even more surprised.
Students are relatively valuable in China. They have knowledge, ideals and beliefs. Apart from the martyrs who sacrificed their lives, it is these students who he admires the most. When the mountains and rivers are in ruins, it is these students who parade on the streets to fight for human rights and when the country is in danger.
It is these students and young people who are promoting propaganda, actively donating money, and supporting the front line.
Many students even competed to save their lives and fight in the DPRK. They were proficient in poetry, songs, Chinese and Western musical instruments, and brought a rich spiritual life to the soldiers.
Being a student soldier in the US military changed his impression of students.
Xia Yuan explained to him: "Abroad and domestic are different. Most students abroad just want to make a living. The most important thing is to go back alive. If they die on the battlefield, no one will remember them. But China is different. We
If you sacrifice yourself, you will be called a hero and role model by the people."
Stopping and waiting for the enemy patrol to leave, he added: "Don't compare our students with their students."
Qin Shoutian nodded in understanding. The names of the students were the same, but the countries were different and the quality of the people was naturally different.
Relying on night vision and eagle eyes, Xia Yuan led Qin Shoutian through the enemy's minefields and barbed wire fences, and inserted himself into the enemy's artillery position. A huge problem appeared in front of him. This area was not only covered with barbed wire fences, but also with barbed wire fences.
There are also searchlights and enemy patrols.
"Going through here is the enemy's artillery position."
The artillery position was brightly lit, and howitzers were transported inside by trucks. A huge white cloth covered the protruding howitzers. There were a large number of boxes of artillery shells stacked under the tent. American soldiers passing by took boxes of them from the vehicles.
After the box of artillery shells was brought down, American soldiers pushed the cannon under the tent, and the commanding soldiers asked them to cover the cannon with white cloth.
Searchlights came over, and the two people quickly lay down on the ground. When darkness appeared in front of them, they raised their heads again.
Qin Shoutian observed for a while and felt a little nervous: "Platoon Commander Xia, many foreigners haven't slept yet, so it's hard for us to get in."
These foreign devils are preparing howitzers and artillery shells for tomorrow's battle. The entire artillery position is very busy, which is in sharp contrast to the sleeping American soldiers at the guard posts outside.
Xia Yuan carefully observed the situation of the US artillery position and couldn't help but mutter: "Fuel tanks, artillery shells, howitzers, these US troops are really big-hearted. They actually piled these things in the middle without fear of explosion. The entire artillery position was
Was it blown through?"
He was thinking about another question, that is, whether bullets can detonate gasoline barrels. If it can, he can fire a shot at the enemy's gasoline barrel and blow up half of the enemy's artillery position. If not, then their
Your position will be exposed and you will be pursued and intercepted by the enemy, with disastrous consequences.
This is a very serious question. Xia Yuan has never thought of using bullets to detonate gasoline barrels before. Most of them were seen in TV series. The protagonist fired a shot at the enemy's gasoline barrel, and the gasoline barrel exploded directly.
, there are also such plots in many games. There are several barrels of gasoline placed in a corner, and a large number of soldiers are approaching. You don't need to hit the soldiers, just hit the gasoline barrels to blow up all the soldiers.
But those are anti-Japanese dramas and games. How can they be compared with reality? The conditions for detonating gasoline barrels are more stringent. One is a used gasoline barrel, with half a barrel of gasoline left. The inside of the gasoline barrel is filled with a large amount of oil and gas, and sparks may occur.
An explosion will occur.
In another case, the gasoline will be ignited by the sparks generated when the bullet hits the oil barrel. After the flame appears, it will detonate.
But these situations are without exception, and the conditions are very stringent, and sometimes even impossible.
Xia Yuan thought about it for a while, abandoned this method, squinted at the artillery position in the distance, and thought of another method, throwing the grenade over, and using the explosion of the grenade to detonate the artillery shell. After thinking about it carefully, he didn't
It's very possible. At a distance of more than 100 meters, if the speed of the grenade falls on a shell that is 100 meters away, it is very likely that only an air explosion will occur.
It is even less possible to use bullets to detonate artillery shells.
"The summer platoon is long, the summer platoon is long."
Qin Shoutian didn't know what Xia Yuan was thinking. After the enemy patrol left, he shouted in a low voice.
Xia Yuan raised his head and said: "I need to get closer, this position is not enough!"
Qin Shoutian looked around and whispered: "Platoon Commander Xia, we can't go any further. If we go any further, we may be exposed."
"We've come this far. It would be a shame to retreat now. Give me the grenade you have on you."
Xia Yuan has his own method, but it is very risky.
Qin Shoutian gave him all the grenades on his body, and Xia Yuan took out three more from his arms, one grenade, two enemy grenades, plus the four grenades Qin Shoutian gave him.
"That's enough."
Xia Yuan put the grenade into his arms and said: "Listen to me, I will throw a grenade to the west later. I will throw the grenade as far away as possible to cause chaos on the enemy's position. You can
Wait for me here, I will take advantage of the chaos to rush to the searchlight in the distance, and you will be responsible for covering it."
He stuffed the grenade into his belt and continued: "If the enemy doesn't notice it, don't shoot. If the enemy notices it, shoot him. Remember, if the enemy moves closer to your position, you should shoot him immediately."
Retreat! Go back the way you came, there are signs on the road, don't make the mistake."
Qin Shoutian was slightly startled: "Platoon Commander Xia, no, this is too risky. There are so many enemies, and there are only two of us..."
"Listen to me, taking a risk is a risk, but if you can blow up the enemy's artillery position, the risk is enough!" Xia Yuan threw two uncomfortable grenades to him and said, "Do you know how to use these?
, take it, use it to save your life at critical moments."
Qin Shoutian still thinks this matter is too risky and the risk factor is too high.
The enemy's strength on the artillery position is at least one company, and they only have two people, and they are surrounded by enemy searchlights and machine gun fire points. Once they are exposed, several enemy machine gun fire points will fire at them.
