There were intermittent gunshots on the other side of the phone, like firecrackers. The caller was the commander of a battalion, "Chief of Staff Hu, the enemy's artillery fire was very fierce. They were all large-caliber howitzers. The troops suffered heavy casualties. We now have ammunition."
The consumption is serious and the firepower is insufficient. The enemy has broken through to our frontline battlefield several times. Can you give me another hundred grenades so that we can hold our position."
105 howitzer, one howitzer can cover an area of tens of square meters. The howitzer explodes near the soldiers, and the air wave generated is definitely not something that the human body can withstand. Ten howitzers can cause huge destructive power, and the enemy's howitzer
Ammunition continued to flow, shelling the position, causing heavy casualties to the first battalion.
Many established troops have been destroyed. There are only a dozen soldiers holding on to the position, and the enemy has a large number of troops. With the arrival of reinforcements, the enemy's attack and firepower have become more fierce, not much worse than yesterday's firepower.
.
After hearing these words, Chief of Staff Hu fully understood that the situation ahead must be very difficult. A rare impatience and melancholy appeared on his face. Chief of Staff Hu immediately realized that as a commander, his expression at this moment
It would have an impact on his subordinates, so he immediately restrained himself, calmed himself down, and said categorically:
"Okay, no problem, I'll solve it for you right away, but listen carefully, we must not lose our position!"
On the other end of the phone, Battalion Commander Li's tone immediately became more excited and said: "Thank you, Chief of Staff Hu, please rest assured, and please also tell the regimental commander that our first battalion will be able to hold our position!"
As soon as the call was disconnected, Chief of Staff Hu told Commander Pang: "The situation of the First Battalion has been very difficult. From the start of the battle to now, only the Third Battalion has given them some ammunition, but after several hours of fighting, these ammunition have already been
It’s all gone, now he wants a hundred grenades.”
Commander Pang frowned. There was no spare ammunition at all. Not to mention the 538th Regiment, not even the military supplies warehouse at the division headquarters, down to the grassroots companies. Mobile warfare consumes a lot of ammunition and food, and
This time was just after the end of the Fourth Battle, and material storage had declined.
Sufferings need to be overcome. The commanders and fighters of the 538th Regiment are well aware of the situation that the First Battalion is currently facing. Commander Pang immediately walked up to the messenger and said: "Gather all the direct teams, including the guard squad, and hurry up and run forward!"
"
"yes!"
The ordering soldier saluted Commander Pang, turned around and ran out of the regiment headquarters.
Commander Pang said to Chief of Staff Hu: "When they arrive soon, you can unload all the grenades on them and send them to the first battalion."
Chief of Staff Hu thought about it and said: "Captain, I think the security class can just forget it."
Commander Pang shook his head: "Forget it? No, we are not the division headquarters here, why do we need such a high security guard? The front line needs support, and the position is the most important and critical. Everything is based on the mission, so it was decided.
"
Seeing what Commander Pang said, Chief of Staff Hu didn't know what to say and immediately walked out of the division headquarters to arrange the matter.
After receiving the order, the comrades of the direct team quickly removed all the grenades from their bodies. Some people helped collect the grenades one by one and put them into the wooden grenade box. After sealing the box, they checked and found that there were 300 grenades in total.
There were still more than 20 grenades left on the ground. The direct team picked out some people to carry 300 grenades and immediately ran towards the first battalion position.
There were three hundred grenades, two hundred more than Battalion Commander Li expected. As soon as he received the grenades, Battalion Commander Li had these grenades delivered to the position. The battle on the position was fierce, and the U.S. military's
Artillery shells bloomed on the position, especially the 105 howitzer. A howitzer landed on the position, like a huge stone falling into a calm lake. It instantly set off a stormy sea. The air wave generated by the explosion swept more than ten meters away, covered by sand and dust.
position.
Mainly around the impact point of the howitzer shell, it will be blown away by the air wave, causing serious casualties.
The enemy's attack became more fierce, and the ammunition consumption of the soldiers on the position became more and more serious. Some soldiers were already running out of ammunition. In the company's position, the three platoons were locked in a bitter battle. Wang Xiaoliang's ammunition was the first to be consumed. The magazine popped out, and then went
I touched the bullets on my body and found that the bullet bag was empty.
Wang Xiaoliang shouted: "Squad leader, I'm out of bullets."
Tan Zhanbiao was fighting fiercely with more than a dozen foreign devils. This group of foreign devils did not charge blindly. They knew how to use the impact points on the ground to cover each other and attack the Volunteer Army's position. There were not many Volunteer Army soldiers on their own position. When the enemy was like this
Under a relatively orderly attack, the enemy's offensive defense line is slowly advancing.
One can imagine the pressure placed on the battalions of the 538th Regiment.
Xia Yuan shot at the enemy one after another, using his own strength to hit the enemy in front of him so hard that he didn't dare to stick his head out. From a distance of a hundred meters, for Xia Yuan, getting a headshot with a gun was like drinking.
As simple as a sip of water, he seems to have reached the point where man and gun become one. He aims and pulls the trigger, turns around, and pulls the trigger. Every gunshot means the death of a life.
This situation was noticed by Captain Lei and Instructor Shao, and with Xia Yuan alone, their pressure was greatly reduced.
"Good shot. Such shooting skills are really good. You can hit wherever you point. Why haven't I seen Xia Yuan show his shooting talent before?"
Instructor Shao changed the magazine and said happily, after this battle, Xia Yuan will most likely be promoted. In the past, Xia Yuan had merits and demerits. During the battle, he made many mistakes of acting without permission. Now he is not only better, but also fighting
The level rises straight up.
Captain Lei was also very excited and said: "This way, the pressure on us will be reduced a lot."
"We cannot take it lightly. The enemy's artillery is very powerful and it is very likely that it will shell our position."
Instructor Shao kept a cool head: "Fortunately, Xia Yuan knocked out the enemy's walkie-talkie soldiers, which prevented the attacking enemy from calling the artillery in the rear."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Knowing that the enemy's shells are powerful, Xia Yuan has been staring at the enemy carrying a walkie-talkie and shooting them first. If the enemy's shells fall, they will
A dozen people may have been devoured in one enemy howitzer salvo.
"The enemy's howitzers are very powerful and will not fire blindly, otherwise they will hurt our own people."
Xia Yuan's confidence comes from this. The facts are similar to what he expected. The ten howitzers of the US military have a fixed shooting target and will not shoot blindly. Blind shooting is uncontrollable and may also fall on themselves.
among people.
In this way, large-caliber artillery shells cannot hit them, and small-caliber mortars are not a big threat. The enemy's attack is controlled by Xia Yuan, and the frontal offensive is weakening.
When the enemy is exhausted, the enemy fails to attack several times in a row, casualties increase sharply, and morale naturally decreases. Low morale also leads to a decrease in combat effectiveness.
The third wave of enemy attacks retreated. Before they could take a breath, the enemy attacks came up again. This made Xia Yuan's heart skip a beat. In the battle just now, he didn't have many bullets left on his body.
There are four magazines left, and there are five bullets left in the magazine, but the enemy's fortifications are becoming more fierce with each wave.
Mortars and howitzers made deafening roars at the same time. Several enemy heavy machine guns fired from a distance from a few miles away, and whizzing bullets hit the position like raindrops.
"The enemy has changed tactics!"
Xia Yuan was suddenly startled, and activated his eagle eye. He saw the slope opposite, where the US military had built a simple fortification. A heavy machine gun with welded steel plates was mounted on a firepower point built with sandbags. The muzzle of the gun was slightly raised, and the bullets
Sweeping across and landing perfectly on the 336.8 high ground, the bullets from the heavy machine gun were like raindrops, falling on the position, and the dust flew up and hit the soldiers' heads.
The US military's heavy machine guns have a very long range and a very high rate of fire. They can shoot at long distances without having to lift the heavy machine guns to high ground.
Captain Lei squatted in the trench, with dirt constantly falling on his head. He reached out and patted it, and said: "The enemy has really changed their strategy. They are using the machine gun as a cannon."
Wang Xiaoliang, who was holding the gun and checking the number of bullets, raised his head and asked curiously: "Company commander, how can a machine gun be used as a cannon?"
Liu Tiezhu said: "Stupid, if the machine gun is mounted on the artillery position, the machine gun is used as a cannon."
"Company Commander, the enemy's mortar position is only two miles away from us. It's already afternoon and it's getting dark. It's difficult for the enemy to support two waves of attacks. I think we can sneak attack the US military's position when it gets dark.
Mortar positions.”
Xia Yuan used his eagle eyes to observe the enemy's machine gun positions built a few miles away, and said: "Try to take down the enemy's artillery positions in one go, and knock out those machine guns as well."
"When the battle is over, I'll go talk to the battalion commander."
Captain Lei patted the dust on his hat, cautiously stuck his head out, looked into the distance, and couldn't help but say: "Granny, these foreign devils are really in a hurry. It has only been a while before they launched another attack.
"
An artillery shell exploded on the position, and the dust rolled up by the artillery shell rolled with the air waves. Instructor Shao straightened his hat and said: "The enemy just won't give us time to breathe. I don't have much ammunition on me, and yours probably don't."
Not much. I'm afraid these foreign devils know the situation we are facing now and don't want to give us any time to replenish our ammunition. When we run out of ammunition, the enemy will be able to occupy the 336.8 heights."
Captain Lei said in a calm voice: "We cannot let them occupy the position, we must hold it."
"Company Commander, I'm going to pick up ammunition!"
A soldier held a gun with the butt of the gun on the ground and volunteered.
"No, it's too dangerous. The enemy is already coming."
Captain Lei rejected the soldier's idea on the spot.
Big Ma ran over with two soldiers: "Company commander, company commander, and battalion commander have sent us ammunition. There are so many grenades."
The three of them were holding grenades in their arms. There were a lot of them, there were probably dozens of them. They were placed on the ground, making a crisp collision sound. These grenades came in time, and everyone had basically lost all the grenades and grenades.
There are some bullets left. Bullets have limitations. Once the enemy lies down, it is difficult to shoot, which will cause waste and it will be difficult to suppress the enemy.
Grenades are different. Everyone knows Xia Yuan's ability to throw bombs. These grenades can play a huge role in his hands.
"How is your platoon's ammunition consumption?" Captain Lei grabbed two grenades, handed them to Wang Xiaoliang behind him, and asked Ma Da,
"After shooting them all, we relied on touching the enemy's corpses. Some soldiers changed their weapons and their guns were out of bullets."
The big man grinned: "Damn, I didn't even get a chance to touch the body this time. The company commander sent you grenades. Can you give some to us, and Lao Chen? The situation over there is not good either."
.”
"These grenades are reinforcements given to our company by the battalion commander. All they want is for us to distribute them evenly."
Instructor Shao said, divided the grenades into three piles, pointed at two of them, and said: "Hurry and send these grenades to the third row, they also need these grenades very much."
"yes!"
The big man left in a hurry again.
As soon as he walked away with his front legs, the enemy came up on his back legs. Everyone got the grenades and quickly dispersed. Each of them got two grenades. There were still thirteen left on the ground. Captain Lei stuffed them all at Xia Yuan and said: "
You can throw them far and accurately. The effect of these grenades in your hands is much greater than ours. Throw them at crowded places and throw them accurately."
"Please rest assured, company commander, as long as I am here, the enemy will not be able to charge forward!"
Xia Yuan held the grenade with a solemn expression on his face.
"Lao Yang, you follow Xia Yuan and be his deputy."
Instructor Shao said again.
"Yes!" Lao Yang nodded, took some grenades from Xia Yuan's arms, and the two of them ran through the traffic ditch and ran to the forward position one after the other.
"Xia Yuan is under a lot of pressure. Let the two of them be the first line of defense on the forward position. Facing the enemy's most violent attack, I don't know if they can hold it."
Captain Lei said with emotion.
Instructor Shao looked at the backs of the two men and said, "We have to believe in him."
There were only a dozen people left on the position, and the enemy's next wave of attack was coming. Xia Yuan thought of a way to hold the forward position to delay the enemy's attack to the maximum extent, allowing Captain Lei and the others to collect the forward position.
Ammunition between rear positions.
Just having grenades is not enough. There will always be a day when all grenades are lost. Bullets are also indispensable. Even though bullets are not as good as grenades in some aspects, in battle, bullets still play a more important role than grenades. They still
Need to replenish bullets.
"Take the people and get in!"
The enemy's heavy machine gun mounted at an extremely distant place can provide long-range fire coverage, but it is almost impossible to hit the target accurately. At such a distance, there are too many factors to consider, and it takes seconds to be accurate.
, during the flight of the bullet, the ballistic deflection will occur due to wind resistance, and it is unknown where it will land.
The enemy's machine gunners also understand this and can only shoot continuously. Maybe a lucky bullet will hit the Chinese.
