Chapter 80 Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west
Wang Xiaoliang was collecting rainwater on the leaves of the trees. When he heard the order to set off, he immediately closed the lid of the kettle, put it on his waist, picked up the heavy machine gun on the ground, and walked towards the top of the mountain.
Everyone lined up in a straight line along the steep mountain road.
Big Ma picked some wild vegetables from somewhere, put them in his mouth and chewed them. His mouth was filled with green juice. When he swallowed the wild vegetables, he had a sad expression on his face.
"You guys can eat it too."
He distributed some of the wild vegetables in his hand to everyone.
Xia Yuan took the wild vegetables from Ma Da's hand and removed the soil from the roots, then rubbed it on his body, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.
"How does it taste?"
The big man had a smile on his face.
"It's dry and hard to swallow. Is this a wild vegetable? Not a grass?"
After swallowing, my mouth felt a little dry.
Wang Xiaoliang handed over the kettle, and Xia Yuan was not polite. He opened it and took a sip, rinsed his mouth, and then swallowed it into his stomach.
"Of course it's a wild vegetable. It's delicious when cooked. If not cooked, it will be dry and hard to swallow. It will make people unhappy." The big man grabbed one and stuffed it into his mouth, followed by the soil, and chewed it to the root without dissatisfaction.
When the time comes, spit out the soil-covered roots.
He didn't eat in the morning or at noon, and he didn't seize any food from the enemy. What he ate was some wild vegetables, which he didn't even cook. He just picked them and stuffed them into his mouth and ate them.
After eating a few wild vegetables, the emptiness in the stomach gradually disappeared, and everyone regained some strength. It was really tiring to fight continuously like this. They were not full to eat, but they continued to fight, and the rain made them feel a little tired all over their bodies.
It's cold. Fortunately, I seized the poncho from the US military. It's not like I was drenched in the rain like before. It's just that my clothes are soaked and it's uncomfortable, especially for the injured soldiers. The bandages are already wrapped around them.
I was soaked by the rain, so I covered it, and I guess I was going to get an infection.
When going up the mountain, Xia Yuan thought about finding an opportunity and having to attack the enemy's transportation route. But thinking about the number of American troops in front of them, he felt helpless again.
They really had to attack the US military's transportation routes and seize supplies. Even though the rear roads were blocked by the enemy, they would not be able to reach the front line of the 180th Division and would still have to give up most of the supplies.
That was the worst policy, but now that reinforcements have arrived, holding on to Highland 393.1 is the best policy.
They touched the enemy's back from the direction of the enemy's attack. In addition to the US troops who were collecting corpses, there were six tanks parked on the position. US soldiers were building fortifications along the highlands. Some US troops cut down trees and collected materials locally.
Some US troops are loading sandbags.
"Xia Yuan, look!"
Instructor Shao put down the telescope and pointed at them in the ten o'clock direction.
Xia Yuan squinted and saw that on a slightly raised slope in the distance, two American captains were standing. One of them was looking through a telescope, but he did not notice Xia Yuan's people hiding behind them.
"The company commander and two officers of the U.S. Army are quite big. If we kill them, we will make a great contribution."
Xia Yuan withdrew his gaze.
"U.S. company commander, Lao Xia, go ahead and kill them. The tank is parked next to them. They haven't noticed us yet. This is our chance." Lao Yang lowered his voice and turned to look at Xia Yuan.
"No, there are too many enemies. If we get past, we will be discovered and we won't be able to get through."
Xia Yuan shook his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Instructor, we need to divide into two groups."
Instructor Shao said: "You say it, I will listen to you."
"Found in the east and attack in the west!"
Two heavy machine guns were carried to the east side of the position. There are more rocks and bunkers on the east side. Although it is not suitable for heavy machine guns to shoot, it is convenient for the soldiers to deploy in a roundabout way. There are many bunkers and it is easy for the enemy to lose their target. It is a
Very good location from the east to the west.
The terrain on the west side is flat and broad. Xia Yuan led Wu Ping and Lao Yang to attack the enemy's position from the west, blowing up the enemy's tanks as well as the bunkers and fortifications on the position.
"There are only three of us. When the battle starts and the enemy doesn't find us, we must not shoot. Only when the enemy finds us can we fire back."
Xia Yuan pressed the magazine containing bullets into the magazine and said: "One more thing, you must give priority to protecting your own safety when taking action. I will be responsible for blowing up the enemy tanks. Your task is to cover me!"
Lao Yang said: "You also have to be careful, we can't live without you."
Xia Yuan patted Lao Yang on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry."
He got out of the bunker, rolled into the impact point in front, and stared at the busy American soldiers on the position, digging fortifications, repairing bunkers, and moving corpses, all doing their own business. The hatch on the tank was open, and the tank soldiers were sitting on it, staring at
Looking from a distance, I didn't realize that the danger was coming.
"Be careful!"
"rest assured!"
Xia Yuan made a thumbs-up gesture and crawled out from the ground. When the enemy looked over, he immediately lay on the ground and acted like a corpse. In order to make himself look more like a corpse, he also put on all the clothes on his body.
After taking off the poncho and wearing the poncho, it is easy for the enemy to mistake it for the corpse of one of our own.
Wait for the enemy's sight to turn away, and immediately crawl on the ground.
Raindrops fell on the ground in patter, and the sky was shrouded in black clouds, making it gloomy and scary.
When Xia Yuan started taking action, instructor Shao and his men also deployed on the east side, setting up machine guns and staring at the American troops in the distance.
"Old Chen, first kill the foreign Japanese sitting on the tank. Can you hit him?" Instructor Shao called Chen Lie and pointed at the foreign Japanese sitting on the tank in the distance.
"It can hit!"
Chen Lie grabbed the gun and nodded seriously.
"Knock them off!"
Instructor Shao immediately gave the order.
"yes!"
Chen Lie loaded the gun with bullets, aimed at the American soldiers on the Iron Bastard in the distance, hooked his finger, and with a snap, the gunshot rang out, and the foreign Japanese fell off the tank.
"Hit!" Instructor Shao gave the order, and the soldiers fired their guns one after another and fired bullets at the enemy.
The position was full of swaying figures of the enemy, and they were suddenly attacked by volunteer soldiers. They hurriedly got into the trenches and lay on the ground to fight back.
The tank soldier moved faster, got into the tank, started the tank, rumbles of black smoke spurted out from the tank's exhaust pipe, and the muzzle turned, aiming to the east.
boom!
The ground around the tank shook violently, and a shell flew at an extremely fast speed. With a roar, the mountains were in position, the gravel was shattered, and splashed everywhere. The thick smoke could not even suppress the raindrops, and the earthquake
The rain curtain is like torn paper.
"Fight and retreat at the same time!"
Instructor Shao poked his head out of the bunker, stared at the US troops who began to rush up in an orderly manner in the distance, and immediately ordered that their mission was to attack the east and west and contain the US troops. Naturally, they could not confront the US troops head-on. The strength gap between the two sides was really too big.
The terrain is very conducive to their guerrilla warfare, and an orderly retreat will definitely be able to attract the US military.
Behind them, two heavy machine guns were mounted on the ridge, with bullet chains stuffed into the magazines, ready at any time.
"Secure the forward position! Use infantry as the first line of defense and tanks as the second line of defense."
The U.S. captain stared at the Chinese in the distance, and judged from the chaotic gunfire that the number of Chinese was not large, so he immediately organized people to attack to the east. On the position, the enemy's line of sight was directed by the instructor to the east.
When the soldiers attracted him, Xia Yuan immediately rushed out of the bunker, rushed into the front trench at a very fast speed, and jumped in with one leap.
An American soldier seemed to have noticed something. He looked back and saw that it was rainy and the position was completely black. He didn't find anything, so he quickly left with his gun in hand.
"The company commander has taken action, let's start taking action too!"
Lao Yang put away his gun and said to Wu Ping on the side.
The two people jumped out of the bunker and quickly arrived at the trench under the cover of Xia Yuan in front. There were not many American troops in the outer trench and they were not discovered. In addition, there were bursts of chaotic gunfire in the east, and the sudden appearance of
The Chinese fooled the American soldiers into thinking they were trying to retake the position, so they set up defenses on the east side, with tanks parked behind the infantry.
In this way, if the Chinese dare to charge, they will die under their guns and cannons.
Little did they know, this was exactly part of their plan.
"It's done, let's see what the company commander and the others do next."
Everyone stared at the American troops in the distance.
After the US military only occupied the forward position, it stopped pursuing it. These foreign devils were not stupid. The terrain to the east clearly had an advantage over the Chinese. It was unwise to leave the position and fight them. Their mission was to hold the position.
"When the enemy rushes out, you have to make good use of the two heavy machine guns. If the enemy tanks start to move, then retreat immediately. If the enemy does not choose to charge, but just occupies the position and relies on the position to fight back at you, you only need to contain it. The tanks will not move.
We only have a chance. If the tanks are gone, our chances will be smaller."
Chen Lie recalled Xia Yuan's explanation and said, "Xia Yuan knows things like a god. He can guess what the US military is thinking."
Big Ma fired the bullets empty, squatted down to replace the bullets, and said: "Hey, don't tell me, Xia Yuan has obviously become a lot smarter since he came to North Korea."
"We are in an open area in front of us. The enemy's charge will only cause heavy casualties, and it is not easy for tanks to attack in this rocky area. It will be even more troublesome if it accidentally overturns. If I were the enemy's commander, I would also choose to hold the position. After all, we
The difference in firepower is too big, we will definitely not be able to attack them, but they underestimated our target."
Instructor Shao accurately captured what Xia Yuan was thinking and ordered: "When saving ammunition, maintain the frequency of shooting, don't be reckless, and protect yourself."
"yes!"
The soldiers' shooting was orderly, sometimes fierce, sometimes gentle. On the other hand, several light and heavy machine guns spit out tongues of fire, bullets hit the rocks, and the broken stones flew everywhere. The tank's heavy cannon roared, and each shot
The shell landed directly in front of them, and the airwaves carried debris flying everywhere.
Fortunately, the soldiers were all veterans and immediately changed their positions when the enemy's gun barrels were aimed at them.
"Well!"
Xia Yuan grabbed an American soldier, covering his mouth and nose with one hand, holding a bayonet tightly with the other hand, and inserted it into his neck. The American soldier let out a whimper and fell to the ground motionless.
Lao Yang ran forward, grabbed the gun that fell on the ground, pulled out the magazine, took away the ammunition and grenades on his body and put them in his arms.
Wu Ping held his gun and stared around cautiously.
"can!"
After packing up the ammunition, Lao Yang grabbed the box in the foreign devil's arms and opened it. His face showed joy. There were seven boxes of cans in the paper box, which were exactly the same as the cans he ate that night.
"The foreign devils couldn't wait any longer. They thought they had held their position and started transporting supplies up the mountain."
Xia Yuan looked at the trench and saw about seven or eight such boxes. He let go of the corpse and used a bayonet to pry open the boxes. They were filled with cans.
"Such cans are not enough to feed a company of foreign Japanese." Lao Yang felt strange.
"These cans are the rations for a class." Xia Yuan covered the can box and said, "Now is not the time to think about cans. We must first blow up the tanks of the foreign devils. Only by blowing up the tanks can we have a chance!"
This group of foreign devils obviously believed that they had captured the position and there were five tanks there. They confidently believed that the Chinese could not defeat their position, so after occupying the position, they immediately began to mobilize ammunition from the rear.
and food, and prepare to build strong defenses on the position.
"Company Commander, someone is coming!"
Wu Ping ran over.
"Get ready to fight!" Xia Yuan immediately looked away from the cans on the ground and clenched the bayonet in his hand.
Two foreign devils were approaching here cautiously with guns in their hands. They heard the movement here, so they walked more cautiously.
Suddenly, two figures flew down from the trench and knocked them to the ground. The helmets suddenly fell off and made a crisp sound when they collided with the wet wall and the ground. The two figures were Xia Yuan and Lao Yang.
Xia Yuan grabbed the bayonet and pressed down on the foreign Japanese under him. The opponent stretched out his arms and grabbed his arm to form a confrontation with him so that Xia Yuan could not drop the bayonet in his hand.
"Man, your power is too small!"
"shit!"
The foreign devil's eyes widened, and with a pop, the muddy bayonet was pierced into his body, and his resistance gradually weakened.
Pulling out the bayonet, Xia Yuan stood up and saw that Lao Yang was still fighting with the foreign Japanese. He immediately stepped forward and held down the foreign Japanese. He grabbed the bayonet and inserted it into the opponent's stomach. After pulling out the bayonet, the foreign Japanese lost his strength and applied a little more force.
The wound just stung, and because he lost all his strength after losing blood, he was no match for Lao Yang.
Lao Yang grabbed the bayonet and stabbed it several times until the opponent could no longer move at all.
"Walk!"
Xia Yuan didn't waste any time. He grabbed the gun on the ground and led them behind the foreign Japanese. Then he stared at the American troops shooting in the distance. Most of the American troops ran over. There were not many American troops left on the position. They were again
Hiding in the trench, Xia Yuan and the others could not be seen.
Xia Yuan used the sound to identify the position, led the three men to rush behind the enemy, pulled up a grenade and threw it out hard. The grenade exploded above the enemy's head, and the broken shrapnel penetrated the soil and penetrated into the body of the foreign Japanese in the trench.
