Thinking of this, Qin Shoutian felt more and more that Xia Yuan's actions were too risky.
"There will always be sacrifices in war, let alone such a dangerous mission. We must make our sacrifices worthwhile."
Xia Yuan comforted Qin Shoutian, held a grenade in his hand, and said: "Tonight, the enemy's artillery position must be destroyed. I can't think of any other way. As long as the grenade can be thrown into the middle of the enemy's gasoline barrel, or
Just get in the middle of the enemy's shells."
The enemy's artillery shells and gasoline barrels were covered with tarps. He was not sure whether this method would work, but it was worth a try. If bullets didn't work, grenades would certainly work!
Explode if you can, and retreat if you can't. There will always be a chance.
Qin Shoutian thought about Xia Yuan's plan and said, "Platoon Commander Xia, let me go. My grenade can be thrown far."
"Stop talking so much nonsense."
Xia Yuan's eyes were fixed on the enemy's searchlight, and when he saw that the searchlight was about to turn around and sweep over, he immediately buried his head in the soil, and his voice became a little strange: "Remember, if you are discovered by the enemy,
Retreat immediately. This is an order. Although you are not under my control, it is just the two of us performing the mission. I am the platoon leader and you are the soldier, obey the order!"
Qin Shoutian just bit his lip, said "yes" very reluctantly, and waited nervously for the enemy's searchlight to drift over.
When the enemy's searchlight floated over, Qin Shoutian quickly looked up and saw a grenade with white smoke flying out. The height frightened him. The grenade floated over from the sky and landed on the lighthouse a hundred meters away.
superior.
There was a loud explosion, and along with the sound of shattering glass, the searchlight more than a hundred meters away from them suddenly went out.
His mind exploded. The enemy's artillery position was in chaos in front of him. There were enemy figures running everywhere. Xia Yuan shocked Qin Shoutian more than that. Before he could react, Xia Yuan shot out like a sharp arrow at a high speed.
Quickly, in just two breaths, Qin Shoutian discovered that Xia Yuan had appeared and hid under the enemy's searchlight dozens of meters away.
Qin Shoutian's eyes widened and he quickly looked around. The panicked enemy was approaching in the direction of the explosion. The enemy's truck turned around and immediately moved away. The sound of foreign devils shouting could be heard everywhere, with lingering panic in their voices.
Without any time to think, he quickly loaded the submachine gun in his hand and stared nervously at Xia Yuan, who was lying motionless on the ground in the distance.
The foreign devils with searchlights above their heads shined the light of the searchlight on the location of the explosion. The foreign devils believed that the enemy might be hiding in the woods directly in front of the attacked searchlight. The enemy quickly set up guns and several searchlights in the bunker under the searchlight.
The lights illuminated the area as if it were daytime.
The American soldiers ran in that direction, looking for bunkers to hide along the way, and nervously looked at the dark forest.
The sleeping soldiers at the alert sentry were also awakened by the sudden explosion, and they were not sleepy.
"The Chinese, the Chinese are coming!"
Hearing the shouts of their own people, these people became even more confused. There was no one to protect those gasoline barrels and artillery shells. They couldn't protect them. There were too many gasoline barrels and artillery shells. If the Chinese really wanted to attack, they wouldn't be able to move them.
Urgently, some foreign devils were responsible and moved towards the location of the explosion to provide support. However, some foreign devils acted as if it had nothing to do with them and hid in the narrow space of the machine gun fire point, thinking that such a narrow space was very safe.
They didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, let alone that the enemy had already touched their position and hid it, so they couldn't find it at all. After all, throwing grenades was silent and it was not like shooting.
The sound of gunfire will reveal your position, but throwing a grenade will make it impossible to guess the direction.
It is precisely because of this that the Americans think that the Chinese who threw the grenade are in the dense forest directly in front of them.
In addition to the foreign devils who were defending frontally, there were also many foreign devils who were heading into the dense forest under the command of the lieutenant. Such a situation was something Qin Shoutian had never thought of. In the tense environment, he thought that Xia Yuan was lost.
Grenades will reveal their location.
However, it didn't.
Xia Yuan successfully rushed under the enemy's searchlight. The searchlight above his head stupidly directed the only light source to the place where the explosion occurred, so that it was pitch black below. He did not notice that there was a person crawling on the reverse slope at all, even if
It was the foreign devils who ran under the searchlight, and no one was found lying there. At this time, all the foreign devils' attention had been attracted by the location of the explosion in the distance, and their attention to the surroundings naturally dropped.
Suddenly, Qin Shoutian saw Xia Yuan, who had been lying on the ground motionless, getting up, or squatting on the ground to be precise. He was slightly startled. He quickly picked up his gun and looked around, and found that there were no enemies around. He was even more shocked.
.
"Is this also within his control?"
Qin Shoutian was extremely shocked. This was on the US artillery position. If he had been the one to blow up the enemy's artillery position, he would have been exposed. However, following Platoon Leader Xia, he had an unimpeded journey. He seemed to be extremely concerned about the US artillery position.
familiar.
From passing through the minefields laid out by the US military to passing through the US machine gun bunker, there was no pause at all. The journey was smooth and unimpeded. Until now, when we started to take action, everything seemed to be under the control of Platoon Commander Xia. Such a person, even if he is
I have never seen it with their platoon leader.
While thinking, Xia Yuan in the distance threw two more grenades. The two grenades were in completely different directions. One floated towards the enemy's firepower point under the searchlight, and the other towards the middle of the enemy's artillery position.
The oil drum covered with oilcloth floated over.
Qin Shoutian's eyes widened, and he saw that the grenade floating towards the enemy's searchlight actually exploded in the air. There was a roar, and black smoke drifted away. The American soldiers below died tragically, and the American soldiers around him who were hit by shrapnel lay on the ground.
Wail.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Another roar from the distance attracted Qin Shoutian. He turned his head and looked over, only to see the light of fire rising into the sky.
He subconsciously rubbed his eyes, and the enemy's oil barrel was set on fire.
Boom!
Before Qin Shoutian could react, the fire that shot into the sky expanded instantly, and with a roar, a fireball rose up, illuminating the entire sky in fiery red, followed by continuous explosions, with billowing black smoke.
The gasoline barrel was blown away, and the flames swept into the sky, igniting the vegetation on the ground, and the fire suddenly became more intense.
"Fuck!"
The shocked U.S. military was stunned.
In the eyes of a group of confused U.S. troops, the oil barrels and artillery shells they had worked so hard to transport exploded even more powerfully.
Boom!
The huge explosion shook the valley, and the feeling of shaking the earth continued to spread. The exploding gasoline barrel ignited the artillery shells stored under the tent, and the roaring explosions sounded continuously, like explosives falling on the ground.
Like raindrops, flowers bloomed in the enemy's artillery group. The firelight and the flying soil complemented each other, and the screams combined with the explosion to compose a beautiful song. It's a pity that the screams came and went quickly.
Soon, it was drowned out by an even more intense explosion.
The enemy's artillery shell base is very large, and the explosion is expected to last for a while.
The planned goal was achieved very quickly, which shocked Qin Shoutian and also surprised Xia Yuan. He thought he would throw two more grenades, but he didn't expect that one grenade succeeded.
"Walk!"
Xia Yuan withdrew without looking back, raised his gun and fired several shots at the American troops who emerged from the guard post behind Qin Shoutian. It had its own silencer and flame suppressor, and coupled with the violent explosion, his gun body was gone.
People noticed that Qin Shoutian recovered from the shock, only to find that he was dragged by Xia Yuan and ran into the forest. In the distance, there were flames shooting into the sky and thunder roaring.
Qin Shoutian suddenly woke up and said with great excitement: "Platoon Leader Xia, we, we succeeded!"
"Success, retreat."
Xia Yuan seemed very calm. It was not just once or twice that he bombed the enemy's artillery position. Knowing that the US military's logistics was very strong, he bombed the enemy's artillery position this time. In less than half a day, the enemy was able to reinforce a large number of howitzers. This time he blew up the enemy.
The artillery positions can only moderate the intensity of the US military's attack tomorrow.
Can't make the winning decision.
Small battles serve the purpose of big battles. This attack on the enemy's artillery positions can also change the situation faced by the 538th Regiment to a certain extent.
As they retreated, they could still feel the vibrations coming from the ground.
The huge explosion echoed over the ravine, awakening Major Rolle who was sleeping in a deep sleep. He fell from his stool and quickly got up. He held the hat that had fallen in his arms and put it on his head crookedly. A soldier panicked.
Run in from outside.
"Major Rolle, something bad has happened. Our artillery position was attacked by the Chinese and there was a huge explosion!"
"What!" Major Rohr was shocked. He got out of the camp and looked up at the sky sandwiched between the two mountains. From the direction of their artillery position, the sky was already glowing red with thick smoke billowing.
The rumbles continued, and the ground was shaking slightly.
"fcuk!fuck!"
The artillery position was blown up, which made Major Rohr furious. He threw his hat on the ground, his face turned pale with anger, and his heart ached. An artillery group was bombed by the enemy. This responsibility was something he could not bear.
The soldier said: "It must be the Chinese people directly in front of us who are responsible for this!"
"Fuck!" Major Rolle yelled, slamming the beer on the table to the ground. The frothy beer splashed everywhere and sprayed all over him. Major Rolle didn't seem to notice.
With the help of others, he stared at the highlands on the map: "At dawn, I want to capture the 336.8 highlands! I want to capture the 336.8 highlands!"
He knew in his heart that he could not bear the responsibility for the bombing of the artillery position. He could only make up for it, and perhaps his superiors would give him a lighter punishment.
336.8 on high ground.
More than ten kilometers away, explosions could be heard in the distance. The sound was very subtle, and it spread to this side as a continuous rumble, waking up some soldiers who were sleeping lightly.
Big Ma rubbed his eyes and looked at the distant sky, which was a little off-color, and said: "Grandma, what are these foreign devils doing? Are they setting off firecrackers? Or are they celebrating something? They have lost their position and still need it.
Let’s celebrate? It’s so late at night and doesn’t allow anyone to have a good rest.”
He yawned and turned to look at Chen Lie, only to find that this guy had already gotten up and was staring into the distance.
Chen Lie said: "This is not the enemy setting off firecrackers, it is the sound of explosions."
Big Ma was a little shocked: "Their house exploded?"
Chen Lie nodded: "It should be so. Maybe the superiors sent interleaved troops to blow up the enemy's artillery positions. They can be felt from such a distance, which shows how strong the explosion is."
Big Ma's sleepiness disappeared and he laughed loudly: "Great, let those foreign devils also have a taste of being bombed."
At the battalion headquarters, under a dim kerosene lamp, the commanders and fighters of the first battalion were still discussing tomorrow's battle plan. The second company commander suggested: "Let the three companies be divided into three echelons and dispersed on the position to hold on. This can reduce the enemy's artillery fire."
It will reduce casualties and at the same time be able to hold on to the position for a longer period of time.”
Captain Lei shook his head: "No, if the enemy's attack is very fierce, the troops on the mountain will not be able to hold on for that long. It is very likely that they will retreat in vain under a wave of enemy attacks."
The third company commander also said: "Currently we have no clear idea of the enemy's strength. We only know that one regiment of enemies is reinforcing the enemy in front of us. Under such circumstances, it is an unwise choice to disperse our troops and hold on to the high ground."
The second company commander fell into deep thought.
While Battalion Commander Li was thinking, a soldier ran in quickly: "Report! There is something important to report on the front line!"
Battalion Commander Li said without raising his head: "Speak!"
"A violent explosion came from the enemy's direction, and it seems that the enemy's artillery position was blown up." The soldier said quickly.
The battalion headquarters was completely silent. The commanders and soldiers looked at each other. They quickly stood up from the ground and rushed out of the camp headquarters. They could vaguely hear the roar echoing in the valley. The sound rumbled and spread, and the echo was so intense.
"this......"
A group of people looked at each other.
Battalion Commander Li glanced at Highland 336.8 and immediately said: "Go to the high ground!"
Everyone hurriedly ran to the high ground, worked hard, and stood on the high ground. They saw the discolored sky in the distance. Battalion Commander Li immediately said to the guard beside him: "Telescope."
The guard took off the binoculars and handed them to Battalion Commander Li.
He got the telescope, quickly adjusted the focus, and looked into the distance.
Captain Lei and others also took out their telescopes and looked into the distance. In the far distance, there were fires soaring into the sky, thick smoke billowing, thunder roaring, and the explosions seemed not as intense as before, but such fires could not be faked.
The forest was ignited by the exploding gasoline barrels, and the flames rose up, illuminating the surrounding area in red.
They were so shocked that they couldn't speak. They put down the telescope and handed it to the people around them with a look of astonishment. When the people around them saw it, they also had a look of astonishment on their faces.
