Landmines are very useful at certain times. If the US military's motorized troops want to deploy, they need to travel on the highway. Laying mines on the highway is one of the few means for their volunteers. Unfortunately, there are not many landmines.
.
Captain Lei led a squad of soldiers to the road and buried homemade landmines on the road. There were not many landmines, so he only buried a dozen. Then he found branches with leaves and used them as brooms.
They cleared the ground of the traces left by the mines they laid. When they pulled back, the sky was already glowing with light.
When they came back, they stood on the high ground and looked into the distance.
"There is no sun today." Wu Ping looked at the horizon in the distance. There were only large dark clouds, and the sun's rays could not penetrate. As a result, the sky was only shimmering, but the sun could not be seen.
The air is a bit humid, and veterans have their own knack for judging whether it will rain today. A veteran of the second faction said: "It's going to rain. Don't you think the air is a little dull?"
"Are you bored?"
"It must be a bit boring."
"Then it's going to rain."
Listening to their conversation, Wang Xiaoliang looked up at the sky. A black cloud had gathered above his head. A touch of coldness fell on his face. He stretched out his dark hand and wiped his face. A piece of black was wiped off his fingers.
With water stains: "It's raining."
He murmured.
The soldiers raised their heads one after another, and sure enough they felt the slightest bit of coldness falling on their faces.
It really rained.
Just a drizzle.
In the Tibetan Soldier Pit, several people were chatting. As they were chatting, Chen Lie suddenly said, "Hey, it's raining."
A few people fell silent, and sure enough they heard a subtle snapping sound falling on the leaves of the trees above their heads.
Tan Zhanbiao looked into the distance through the gap and said, "It's raining. Will the foreign devils still attack?"
Xia Yuan thought for a while: "That also depends on whether the rain will become heavier. If it is a thunderstorm, the US military may stop attacking. No one is willing to continue attacking on such a rainy day."
After a pause, Xia Yuan remembered that the foreign soldiers had raincoats in their individual equipment, and then said: "Not necessarily, the foreign soldiers have raincoats, and they may attack in the heavy rain, but I don't think the rain will be heavy."
Lao Yang was leaning on the cold ground, wiping the submachine gun in his hand with a towel. He raised his head and looked at the sky. Fine raindrops fell on the ground, and he shouted: "It's not raining heavily, and the clouds in the sky haven't gathered into one yet."
If you want a bigger cloud, you need to add at least twice as many clouds like this."
"Actually, it doesn't matter if it rains. If the line of sight is blocked, the enemy's artillery will not be able to fire accurately, and the aircraft will not be visible. This is actually to our advantage."
Zhou Xingyong shouted.
Everyone thought about it carefully, and after a while, everyone began to look forward to heavy rain.
Xia Yuan thought for a while and thought of what happened next. It rained in the upper reaches of the Han River, causing the water level of the Han River to surge. When the 180th Division retreated, the water in the Han River was already very turbulent. As he thought about it, there were more crackling sounds above his head.
.
The rain was getting stronger, and the raindrops had already penetrated the layer of leaves covering the top of the head, dripping little by little on the hidden soldier pit, and soon fell on the clothes, soaking a large area.
Xia Yuan took out the kettle from his waist, shook it, opened the lid, and collected the dripping rainwater bit by bit.
On this day, the United Nations Army once again followed the deployment of Commander Li Qiwei, taking advantage of the Volunteer Army's fatal weakness of supply difficulties and air strikes that had not yet transferred the main force of the Chinese and North Korean armies, and quickly mobilized four armies and thirteen divisions to directly pressure us.
Came over.
The infantry were all motorized and equipped with tanks to form a task force column. They rushed along Seoul to Yeoncheon at a speed as fast as flying. When they reached both sides of the Hongcheon-Inje highway, they immediately began a surprise attack. United Nations Commander Ridgway was worried about guerrillas along the way.
Armed harassment affected the speed of pursuit, so he dispatched a large number of aviation and long-range artillery to clear the way for this special column.
The light rain here is hazy, and the roar of airplanes can be heard in the sky, one after another, and the roar resounds throughout the valley.
Sun Changgui looked at the sky through the gap. A formation of US military aircraft passed at low altitude between the thick clouds.
"What is this, a reconnaissance plane of foreign devils!"
"Yes, I didn't run away. I flew so low just for reconnaissance."
Zhou Xingyong observed it and immediately came to a conclusion.
"The appearance of the foreign reconnaissance plane means that the foreign troops are not far away from us, maybe right behind us." Lao Yang wiped the water stains on his face with a towel, wiped off a large piece of black mud, and took apart the towel.
, shook vigorously, and when he heard the people around him talking, he also interrupted.
On May 22nd, the US military's attack was more fierce than in the previous days, and the hazy drizzle did not dampen the enthusiasm of the US military to attack. It seemed that they had expected that the volunteers had fallen into a situation of lack of food and ammunition, and wanted to
This can was a painful blow to the volunteers.
The foreign devils' inference was correct. The officers and men of the 180th Division fought on an empty stomach. Four trucks of supplies did not bring much relief. In addition to ammunition, canned goods and medicines were all sent to the hospital.
Although all the officers and soldiers of the 180th Division fought hungry, their combat effectiveness was the same as before and had not diminished.
The first line of defense set up by the division headquarters is Tongguli and Jiuluan Mountain.
In the early morning, after eating a can, the soldiers were not very hungry. In addition, they also got a lot of wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger, which also restored a lot of strength.
The 538th Regiment withdrew from the 336.8 Highlands. Commander Pang immediately arranged the deployment of the defense line. The battalion and company plus the directly affiliated team and the guard squad went to the Jiuluan Mountain position. A part of the simple fortifications had just been dug, and the preparations were done.
More than half past one, the whistling sound of US artillery shells could be heard overhead.
The earth and shock waves rolled up by the explosion dispersed the pattering rain.
The scout ran back, out of breath: "Enemy, the enemy is coming up!"
After a few mortar shells exploded, Captain Lei took a look at the casualties of the soldiers on the position and found that there were no serious problems. He immediately took out the telescope, wiped the raindrops on the lens with his sleeve, adjusted the focus, and looked into the distance.
The highway at.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In front of them, a large black enemy army appeared. Looking over, there was at least one battalion of troops. They divided into three columns and rushed towards the Jiuluan Mountain position.
Running at the front to clear the way were three M4 Sherman medium tanks. The tanks were followed by a large number of infantry. Even though there was still a certain distance from the Jiuluan Mountain position, the arrogant American infantry had already opened fire. As they charged,
While shooting at the company's position.
"With the strength of one battalion and three columns, the enemy in front of us is about one company. Order the soldiers to prepare for battle!"
Company Commander Lei put down the telescope and immediately made arrangements. When instructor Shao left, he immediately looked into the distance again.
The enemy's Sherman medium tank had arrived at the minefield they had laid. With several roars, the enemy tank hit the minefield and stopped. Smoke filled the air. The tank continued to move, and the smoke dissipated a little. Company Commander Lei
Through the telescope, I saw that several enemy infantry fell down, but nothing happened to the tanks.
The infantry behind also stepped on a mine, an explosion occurred, and the roar echoed in the valley.
Rumble~
The landmines had just sounded, and the charging posture of the American infantry was not as arrogant as before, but more careful and cautious.
Instructor Shao arranged the task, ran over again, and took a look: "The mine we planted exploded, right?"
Captain Lei nodded and said: "Yes, only seven or eight mines exploded. It is estimated that the remaining mines either did not trigger or failed. The number of mines is too small, but it delayed the enemy's attack. They are better than before."
I'm a lot more cautious, but it can only delay the enemy's attack."
This enemy force was coming fiercely. Three Sherman medium tanks opened the way. For the volunteers who did not have any heavy firepower, it was really impossible to deal with it. Fortunately, the battalion headquarters sent a mortar to support it. There were not many shells, only
Four rounds, used well, can completely change the situation of the battle.
Moreover, there are six people in front ambushing the enemy's tanks, and seven anti-tank grenades are used to blow up the enemy's Sherman tanks. They rely on the favorable terrain, and the enemy's company may not be able to attack them.
Suddenly, the three charging tanks increased their accelerator, and the exhaust pipes spewed out black smoke from burning diesel. The speed of the tanks suddenly became faster, and the infantrymen who were advancing cautiously in the rear also accelerated their pace, closely following the ones in front.
The Sherman tank is no longer afraid of the threat of landmines.
"You underestimated the enemy. It seems they are planning to occupy our position at all costs."
Captain Lei concluded that it was most likely.
The tank in the middle ran the fastest, leaving the two Sherman tanks on the left and right behind. The machine guns in the tanks kept firing, and the soldiers stared at the three tanks rushing up.
"Look at Xia Yuan and the others. If it doesn't work, let's go up!" Captain Lei observed with a telescope.
The American tanks were very arrogant. Young saplings and grass were wrapped under the huge body of the tank. The infantry behind them just followed, rushing towards their position while pulling the triggers in their hands. Bullets intertwined above their heads, whizzing.
The sound is continuous.
In the hiding hole, Xia Yuan and others had long been aware of the enemy's appearance. The sound of mortars reminded them that the mortars landed on the position and exploded. From the direction of the explosion, they could basically judge that it was fired by the enemy. After a while,
, Xia Yuan was keenly aware of the approach of the enemy tank, and the clicking sound of the tracks pressing against the ground.
The sounds of heavy machine guns, big guns, carbines, and Thompson submachine guns came one after another, and they sounded continuously, getting closer and closer to them.
The situation observed through the hole reserved above was limited, and several people began to feel nervous. In addition, the atmosphere in the hidden soldier pit was a bit solid, the air was humid, and the space was narrow, which aggravated their nervousness. This is what people face.
The emotions that will inevitably arise during an impending crisis are unavoidable.
Xia Yuan would also have it. This is a unique human instinct. However, with the blessing of the system's calming skills, he did not feel nervous at all. He calmly observed through the hole and only heard the sound of enemy tank tracks approaching.
"Wait a minute, the sound came from the west, the enemy did not attack from here!"
The topography of the position came to mind, and Xia Yuan calmly analyzed it. Since the range of the continuous frontal defense line exceeded two hundred meters, the hiding hole they dug could not be accurately dug on the enemy's only path, and they could only see it.
In this open area, it is judged that the enemy tanks will move here.
Then the enemy tanks ran rampant, and the slightly denser vegetation was suppressed under the tanks. They didn't care about the terrain at all. The tanks ran rampant, crushing through the grass and shrubs, and the soldiers behind them followed the tanks, swaggering.
Xia Yuan realized that the enemy had not come to this open space. Not only him, but also Lao Yang and others were veterans and were not deaf. When he heard the enemy tanks coming from their west, he immediately realized that the enemy tanks had not come from them.
Attack in this direction.
Either attack from this place, or attack from the deeper bushes to the west of them towards the high ground.
Xia Yuan couldn't sit still anymore and immediately got out of the hiding hole. He held a gun and looked around cautiously. A crowd of people was attacking their position from the west.
"Get up, get up, the enemy is coming, right on our right!"
Xia Yuan immediately found the location of the others and shouted in a suppressed voice.
The five people lifted up the wet branches and weeds above their heads and looked up into the distance. Lao Yang came out with a gun in his arms and an anti-tank grenade hanging on his body. He stared at the foreign Japanese attacking in the distance and cursed: "
Damn it, why did these foreign devils attack from that place?"
Everyone frowned. There was a bush dozens of meters away, and the enemy hadn't noticed them yet.
At this time, a burst of fierce gunfire came from a very far away place. It was that other troops had already fought against the foreign devils.
In front of them, the enemy tank had climbed up from the front, its dark gun barrel pointed towards the sky, and on the open hatch cover, the enemy machine gunner was controlling the heavy machine gun on the tank to fire at the position on the mountain.
The soldiers' eyes were tearing when they saw this scene.
"Lao Xia, do it!" Chen Lie squeezed the anti-tank grenade tightly and said, "Blow up the enemy's tanks!"
Three Sherman tanks were emitting black smoke and driving towards the high ground. Xia Yuan visually measured the distance and said patiently: "Don't be anxious, just wait."
The tank made a huge roar and was getting closer to the position. The dark enemy followed behind the tank. They strictly followed the coordinated formation of infantry and tanks, charging and shooting at the high ground. Bullets flew everywhere, hitting the rocks and bouncing on the rocks.
The sound of the biubiu being turned on echoed continuously in the valley.
Everyone waited nervously and did not dare to look up, for fear of being discovered by the enemy's infantry. They were in an open space and fired at randomly. They really could not retreat or attack. Once they were in this intermediate situation, they could not advance or retreat.
"If you see that the tank closest to us is missing, take it out first."
Xia Yuan looked tense. They were very close to the enemy tank. The distance was less than 30 meters. The roar of the tank could be heard at close range. Since they were in dense grass and they were lying on the ground, the enemy could not detect them yet.
, which gave them an opportunity for a sneak attack.
