They ran forward in panic. There were rocks and trees everywhere. The infantry was okay, but the tank's movement was severely hindered. There was a deep ditch in front of it blocking the tank's path. The ditch was so deep that the tank fell into it and basically died.
Not coming.
This is an anti-tank trench designed specifically to deal with tanks.
When the gun platoon leader saw the enemy tanks stopped, he knew it was time for them to perform.
"fire!!"
There were not many words of encouragement, only a simple sentence of firing, and six mortars fired two salvos, which landed in the US tank convoy and exploded with a rumble, causing the infantry to flee and the tanks to be unable to move.
The smoke of gunfire covered the battlefield, and the hazy raindrops could not suppress it.
The comrades of the artillery platoon appeared again carrying bazookas and recoilless rifles. Their main task was to destroy the tanks of the enemy's vanguard. This was their performance time. The shells dragged out in an arc and landed with a roar.
When it entered the stopped tank convoy, it exploded with a roar, and the enemy tank was completely scrapped. The tracks were blown off, the fuel tank was detonated, and billowing black smoke rose and spread into the sky.
The U.S. soldiers who were following us completely messed up their formation, scurrying around and shooting randomly. They were already in a mess.
The American soldier carrying a walkie-talkie panicked and found a stone, squatted on the ground, wanted to contact the rear, and screamed for artillery to support them, even though he knew that the artillery deployment would take time.
Whoosh!
I don't know where the sound of a bullet piercing the air came from, and it penetrated the helmet on the top of my head with a clang. When I tilted my head, the helmet fell to the ground with a clang. Blood flowed down the hair on my forehead and onto my cheeks, and a few drops of rain fell on it.
falls on the face.
As soon as the gunshots from Xia Yuan's side rang out, Chen Lie also began to use his shooting ability, aiming at the enemy in the distance and pulling the trigger frequently. The bright bullets flew down from the mountain and plunged into the bodies of the American soldiers.
.
"Okay, well done!"
Everyone was holding a submachine gun with limited range, so they could only watch from a distance. When they saw Xia Yuan and Chen Lie shooting the foreign devils, they all shouted happily.
The enemy's vanguard was not a vegetarian either. The heavy machine guns on the tanks and the self-propelled anti-aircraft guns fired wildly towards the mountains. However, they did not even see the Chinese who attacked them, and they fired at the mountains indiscriminately.
A bullet banged loudly and hit the big man in front of him. It was as powerful as a grenade. There was a dull explosion, and the exploded soil splashed all over Lao Gao. He lay on the ground shaking his head.
In the trench, he cursed loudly: "Do the foreign devils have any objections to me? If I didn't beat you, they almost beat me."
"Then I don't have a problem with you. I want your life." Lao Yang said sarcastically at the side.
"Grandma, let them come up and see if I don't kill them!" Big Ma suddenly came up with such a bad temper, holding a submachine gun and eager to try.
This group of enemies was beaten so badly that they were unable to organize an effective attack. Even the squad leader who had just seen a foreign Japanese couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to organize his own soldiers to attack the mountain. He just stabilized a few people.
One bullet sent him to meet God. The few American soldiers who had just stabilized immediately panicked and pulled the trigger randomly toward the top of the mountain. Who knows where the bullet flew.
Xia Yuan's plan was successful. The wreckage of five tanks was emitting billowing black smoke. The tracks were broken by the gun platoon. Even the tank's fuel tank was opened together and turned into a pile of scrap metal lying on the road. The gaps between them were
It was completely insufficient for a tank to move, and there were anti-tank trenches ahead, so the American troops wanted to turn around and escape.
The firepower of the Chinese on the mountain was not strong, but their marksmanship was surprisingly accurate. When the gunfire rang out, a soldier was always shot through the body. The US lieutenant realized that the person who fired the shot was a Chinese sharpshooter.
"Call for reinforcements, call for reinforcements."
Seeing that the number of soldiers around him was getting smaller and smaller, the American second lieutenant company commander panicked. He grabbed the body of the soldier carrying a walkie-talkie and pulled it behind the tank. A bullet clanked on the tank next to him, shocking him.
He quickly curled up and didn't dare to show his head.
After taking a breath, he took the walkie-talkie and started to communicate with the rear.
"Hold on, our artillery is deploying, you need to hold on for five minutes."
"Yes! Sir!"
The second lieutenant company commander calmed down and hid quietly behind the tank. He would not stick his head out even if he was killed. Sticking out his head would be an act of seeking death. There were Chinese sharpshooters on the high ground watching him. He looked at the soldiers who were fighting back with all his strength.
Put your hands out instead of your head.
They all saw that the Chinese who were shooting on the mountain were very good at shooting.
The second lieutenant company commander called again on the walkie-talkie: "The Chinese have snipers and their marksmanship is very good. We will also send snipers here."
The sound was interrupted, and the second lieutenant and company commander cursed and slammed the walkie-talkie to the ground.
There was a loud bang from the side, and there was a violent explosion. Mud and gravel were everywhere. He straightened his helmet and looked in the direction of the explosion. A tank was blown up in front of him. He turned around and looked at his butt.
There was also the sound of explosions, and the sound of mortar shells falling from the sky was loud, cutting off their retreat.
A bad premonition arose in his heart.
"Damn it, are these Chinese people trying to wipe us out here?"
On the mountain, Xia Yuan looked at the hiding American troops, put away his gun, and shouted: "Get ready, hide in the bomb shelter."
Everyone brought their things with them and drilled into the Mao'er Hole. The Mao'er Hole is a pit on the side of the trench where people can hide. The hole is fairly hard and the space is not very large. It can only accommodate one person.
People, after all, have limited time, so they can't dig the cat's ear holes very big.
Sure enough, as soon as everyone got into the cat's ear hole, the unique sound of a grenade piercing the sky came from above their heads. It was relatively harsh and landed on the position. In an instant, the air waves rolled up and the roar spread, making everyone's ears buzz.
There was a loud sound, and the entrance to the cave was covered with rubble carried by the spreading air waves.
Xia Yuan buried himself in the deepest part of the cave. The gravel rushed into the cat's ear hole and fell on him. Fortunately, the cotton clothes were thick enough, so it didn't hurt much.
The U.S. military's howitzers continued to fire at the high ground in the distance, completely covering the entire high ground. Areas that were not positions were also plowed by enemy shells. Broken trees and branches were everywhere, making it a mess.
Being in the center of the position, it was more like staying in a drum. The rumbling sound was too loud. The big guy tried his best to open his mouth wide and kneel down in the cat's ear hole, which could prevent the explosion.
The violent vibrations shattered people's internal organs.
There are many soldiers who are on the battlefield for the first time and have little experience. They habitually lie down on the ground and keep their bodies close to the ground. After a round of shelling, they can still stand up and talk to other soldiers and fight. When the battle is over,
The soldier who was fighting with them just tilted his head and fell to the ground.
Some didn't get up at all.
Every time after a battle, the teams that collect corpses go to collect the corpses of the soldiers, and they always see the corpses of some dead soldiers who obviously have no wounds on their bodies. It was relatively ignorant at that time, and everyone didn't understand why this happened, so they thought
They were scared to death.
In fact, during the shelling, the internal organs were shattered, and no injuries were visible from the outside. Some veterans only understood the reason after experiencing war after war, but they did not understand the principle.
By this period, a lot of knowledge has been popularized in the army, the quality of individual soldiers has begun to improve, and combat knowledge has to be introduced into each platoon and squad. Especially when new recruits join the company, veterans will provide one-on-one teaching.
The best way to avoid ground vibrations caused by shelling is to not let your chest touch the ground. This was best demonstrated during the Battle of Shangganling. There were many wounded lying on the ground. After the enemy's round of shelling ended, they would
He couldn't wake up either.
After the enemy's round of shelling ended, Xia Yuan pushed away the soil piled at the entrance of Mao'er Cave and dug out. On the smoke-filled battlefield, not a single person could be seen.
"Instructor, Lao Yang, Lao Chen, Lao Ma..."
Something bad arose in his heart, and he rushed towards the buried cat's ear hole with a gun in hand. He struggled to remove the soil in the trench, revealing a dark hole, and he could vaguely see a person inside.
That was someone he knew well, Lu Guangnan, the leader of the cooking squad, and Lao Lu followed him all the way. In the subsequent position blocking battle, even the cooking squad was involved, but he was the only one who died in the cooking squad. Later in the night operation
, Lu Guangnan also threw away his only pot, which seriously hindered the operation.
"Lao Lu, Lao Lu."
Xia Yuan opened the cat's ear hole, pulled Lu Guangnan out, grabbed his wrist, and touched his neck. He felt that the other person's neck was still beating, and immediately started to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on him.
"Company Commander."
After pressing it for a few times, Lu Guangnan woke up.
"You're okay, I thought you just died like this." Xia Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, pulled him up, looked at the distance, and immediately shouted: "The enemy is coming!"
He looked at the position, and other people also got out of the Mao'er Hole. The Mao'er Hole was dug very deep. The enemy's shells fell nearby, and the Mao'er Hole could not be destroyed. It could only cover the trench almost completely.
However, they could not withstand such ferocious bombing by the enemy, especially the 105mm howitzers. Under the continuous bombardment, the Maoer holes could not last long. Many of them collapsed and were dug out by others.
There are not many soldiers in a class.
"The enemy is coming, prepare to fight."
"Company commander, the machine gun has been buried." Liu Tiezhu was still kneeling on the ground digging hard, extremely anxious.
"Little Wang, help him, we'll hold on for a while, don't worry."
Xia Yuan shouted, turned around and ran into the distance. The enemy dispersed into a line of skirmishers and surrounded the high ground. There was a full battalion of troops, and the offensive was not much weaker than the previous one.
Gunsmoke was everywhere, but it still couldn't cover the U.S. troops in the distance.
Sun Changgui followed Xia Yuan and saw from a distance that two people in the US military team were carrying things on their backs and had two wires wrapped around their shoulders. They were rushing up the mountain with the attacking US troops. He was also holding a strange thing in his hand.
weapons.
Sun Changgui was suddenly startled and shouted to Xia Yuan: "Company Commander, are the Americans this time like the little devils before, trying to poison us with poison gas?"
Xia Yuan jumped into an unburied trench and placed his gun on the mound. "No, they didn't wear gas masks. That thing is a flamethrower."
This is the first time he has seen this thing. When he was in Shangganling, he specifically picked this guy to fight. There was no other way. This thing was really powerful against tunnels, and it wasn't much worse in positional combat. The flamethrower is also known as the flamethrower.
, the gun body can be simply divided into four parts, the oil tank, the compressed air source, the ignition device and the nozzle. Its attack method is as simple and crude as its name. Soldiers usually hold the gun body in one hand and only need to pull the trigger with the other hand.
, the spray gun can instantly spray out a flame dragon that is tens of meters long.
The result of its attack is very terrifying. As long as the human body is slightly touched by the ejected sparks, it can only watch the fire getting bigger and bigger until it is burned to ashes.
The principle of the flame gun is similar to that of the water spray gun. Once the ignition device is triggered, the high-pressure gas in the gas tank will eject the burning liquid in the oil tank at a very high speed. You must know that not only is the oil tank filled with
The flammable fuel also contains a large amount of thickening agent, which makes the flame adhesion effect very good.
When ignited, the viscous fuel can reach a high temperature of 1,000 degrees. The flames will burn wherever they are sprayed. The burned soldiers cannot extinguish the flames even if they roll on the ground. Moreover, the flames will consume a large amount of energy around the flames during the burning process.
Oxygen was released and highly toxic smoke was released, which strongly irritated the soldiers' respiratory tract and lungs until the soldiers suffocated and died.
This thing has an alias, called the Devil's Happy Gun. When encountering this thing, the little devil will always roll on the ground with joy.
The Yankees used this thing to burn to death a lot of Japs' infantry. During the Far East Army period, the United States also had this thing in the weapons and equipment that supported the Far East Army. It helped the Far East Army eliminate many Japanese Japs, but they didn't know what the Allies were doing.
Incompetent, the expeditionary force was regarded as a retreating force.
"The flamethrower, and this thing."
Sun Changgui had never seen such a strange weapon. Looking at the thing on the back of the foreign devil, he couldn't help but grinned, "Company Commander, I'll shoot him down."
As soon as he finished speaking, a few bullets flew past his head. Sun Changgui was so shocked that he quickly lay down in the trench.
"Be careful, the foreign devils have discovered you."
There are not many soldiers left on the position. They are a squad, scattered on the position, fighting each other, but they can reinforce each other, so they are not easily wiped out by a single shell from the enemy, and at the same time, they can still form a very scary picture when spread out.
The firepower network is very effective in dealing with the group charge of the US military.
The stream of bullets flew past their heads, and Sun Changgui cursed: "Company commander, bring them closer, I'll jump them."
"Chi!"
Suddenly, a strange sound sounded, a long flame flew in front of the trench, and the surrounding area immediately burst into flames.
An American soldier carrying a flamethrower took up a favorable position and attempted to suppress the volunteers in the trenches.
