Without the Koreans to serve as cannon fodder, their casualties suddenly increased sharply. There were too many machine guns on the top of the mountain. It was difficult for a battalion to attack, and the focus of their large forces was on chasing the Chinese army. Such a
The company will not allow the Americans to dispatch a regiment of troops and a large number of artillery to attack.
Knowing that he could not take down the Chinese army on the high ground, Akers was furious and felt helpless. The Chinese were too powerful and the continuous attacks of the two battalions failed to gain any advantage.
As the South Koreans fled, Ax also gave up the idea of continuing to attack the Chinese positions.
A battalion of U.S. troops has only seven to eight hundred combat troops, and the rest are various types of troops.
After two consecutive attacks, Akers discovered that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army on the top of the mountain was really terrifying. They usually attacked the Chinese positions and sent a company or half a battalion of troops, even if they could not defeat them.
After retreating, the number of casualties was only a few dozen.
But this time half a battalion of troops was dispatched, and the casualty rate reached a terrifying two-thirds. The battlefield commander's platoon leader was all dead, none of the walkie-talkie soldiers left, and almost one heavy machine gunner participated in the battle.
Only two of them came back, and the flamethrower even had an incredible explosion, which indirectly caused huge casualties to the team. It was simply terrifying.
Akers was shocked by the fighting prowess of the Chinese on the top of the mountain. At the same time, he felt incredible. He had experienced World War II. The casualty rate in World War II was even lower. It only took tens of thousands of bullets to kill one person. However, the situation on the Korean battlefield was far worse.
Far beyond his imagination, casualties reached the highest level in history since he joined the army.
Surprising and unbelievable.
Although Ax didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that their opponent was unmatched by any army in the world.
...
On the unknown high ground.
The soldiers' fighting enthusiasm was unprecedented, and they all looked at the man who was walking with a slight limp. In the battle just now, he used a semi-automatic rifle to kill the US battlefield commander, suppress the enemy's heavy machine gunner, and carry the enemy.
The U.S. soldier carrying the jar exploded, causing heavy casualties.
The enemy retreated without even touching the forward position. The South Korean army retreated even faster, incredibly fast. The US military actually put up a symbolic resistance before retreating.
There has never been such a simple battle.
"You see, the American devils are just paper tigers. Once we are equipped with weapons, they will be unable to do anything to us."
Xia Yuan laughed loudly, feeling heroic.
"The company commander is mighty!"
The soldiers shouted one after another.
Yang Nanzhen smiled happily on the sidelines. He had never been so happy. The victory in the battle made everyone unprecedentedly happy. He believed that after experiencing such a special battle, the fighting enthusiasm of all the soldiers in the machine gun company would reach
a new vertex.
"The US military will not attack again. When the sun sets, we will go after the large army."
Xia Yuan looked at Yang Nanzhen with a smile on his face.
They stayed here for a day, repelling four or five attacks by the American and Korean troops. The gunfire of the battle attracted nearby stragglers and disoriented volunteer soldiers. The company's strength increased from the previous eighty or ninety people to one.
With more than 140 people, it has reached the size of a reinforced company.
Xia Yuan and the others also learned from the mouths of these soldiers that many positions of the troops blocking the rear had been lost, and many companies and positions had coexisted and perished. They were watching from a distance, unable to do anything, and they were wandering among the mountains and forests.
, looking for their main force.
Along the way, they saw too many soldiers being chased and shot by the enemy. Just as they were getting discouraged, they suddenly heard gunshots coming from here. Then they came over and saw that they were still resisting.
company, the joy in my heart is uncontrollable.
Only the sound of gunfire fighting the enemy can let them know that there are still their own troops resisting and that their own troops are still there.
What they were afraid of was that the whole forest was so quiet, not to mention the sound of gunfire, not even the sound of American artillery.
Yang Nanzhen smiled and said: "I listen to you."
Xia Yuan smiled, said no more, and organized the soldiers to clean the battlefield. The Americans and Koreans dropped a large number of weapons, equipment, and ammunition. The soldiers packed the ammunition collected on the battlefield into boxes and placed them on the battlefield.
, his eyes scanned the smoke-filled position, and he saw in the distance that the US military was digging trenches and bunker fortifications on the high ground opposite.
"Hey, why is this American devil just like Bangzi? He also started digging trenches on the high ground opposite."
Wang Huzi looked at the high ground in the distance with a surprised expression on his face.
Wu Liang said: "Maybe the US military wants to attack us and has given up attacking us."
The soldier on the side said: "It may not be impossible. The stick doesn't hit us, but it wilts after hitting us twice. This American devil probably learned from the stick. If we hit us twice and don't hit us, we wilt."
"Hahahaha, they are wilted. This means they are hurt by our beating."
The soldiers gathered together in small groups, lying on the mound and looking into the distance.
Listening to the voices of the soldiers, Xia Yuan smiled and said to Yang Nanzhen: "The soldiers are still very optimistic."
"No, you led them to win such a big victory. No one is happy, but I am happy." Yang Nanzhen said: "Comparing the wins we won in the past with the ones we have now, they are nothing. Look at it.
The corpses left behind by the American soldiers and Bangzi on our position are estimated to be two companies."
Xia Yuan looked around and saw bombed corpses and tattered and blood-stained clothes everywhere, scattered on the front line. The dazzling bright red and pale broken bones came into view. He was already accustomed to such bloody scenes. War
, this kind of picture is the most common.
This chapter is not over yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "We have to be prepared." Xia Yuan continued calmly: "The fighting situation now is different from before. In fact, the pressure on us has dropped sharply.
It has something to do with the breakout of the 180th Division. When the 180th Division broke out, the enemy's focus was on the 180th Division. The blocking troops behind were basically the size of a company, and would not exceed a battalion at most. As long as
If the commander of the US military is not a fool, he will not put any effort into our blocking team."
Yang Nanzhen looked up at Xia Yuan and said, "The analysis makes sense. The gunshots all around have almost disappeared. We are probably the only ones left."
Xia Yuan nodded, smoking a cigarette, thinking a lot.
The next step is to stay here in addition to finding the large troops. When the large troops break out, the US military will start to deal with them. Although guerrilla warfare can solve the problem, Xia Yuan does not know that as the 180th Division breaks out,
If you succeed, will you come back?
If he returns, what should Yang Nanzhen and the others do?
"Company Commander, I'm back." Hao Guangjiu and Wu Ba climbed up from the ravine, panting from exhaustion.
"How's the situation?"
"Company Commander, no enemy troops have been found nearby. The previous Korean army has disappeared. It is probably used as cannon fodder by the American devils, just like the Imperial Army."
Hao Guangjiu said happily: "The Japanese have also given up their attack. We can stay in peace for a while."
"Oh, these foreign devils probably thought that we would continue to waste time with them. When it gets dark at night, we would run away." Wu Ba also said happily.
"Let the soldiers rest. We will see the transfer begin tonight."
"yes!"
At dusk, the setting sun shines on the distant mountain tops, casting a crooked golden color on the unknown highlands. The ground after the enemy's shelling exudes a warmth, and some tree stumps destroyed by the shells still emit light white smoke.
The corpses of American soldiers are scattered on the hillside, white and red complement each other, dazzling and eye-catching.
The exhausted soldiers on the mountain leaned in the trenches and fell asleep holding their guns.
From time to time, U.S. military reconnaissance planes flew over their heads. The soldiers trembled in shock and woke up. They raised their sleepy eyes and looked into the distance. When they saw U.S. military planes flying over their heads without dropping any bombs, they turned over.
, continue to sleep.
The soldiers were really tired.
There were many guns and ammunition placed in the trenches, and they repelled the attacks of the Korean and American troops. They took away many guns from the enemy's corpses and seized many light machine guns. Just the light machine guns could form an army.
The number of heavy machine guns in the machine gun squad, not including their heavy machine guns, has reached six, which is enough to build a powerful machine gun fire network.
"The U.S. military is really rich. After fighting several companies, they actually got so many light and heavy machine guns, which are more powerful than the previous machine gun companies."
Yang Nanzhen said with emotion that when the machine gun company was at its most glorious, it only had seven or eight light machine guns, two or three heavy machine guns, and a few mortars. Where is it like now, with their current combat effectiveness, it is enough to compete with a
Battalion fire confrontation.
"Next, we will fight while walking, and we will seize more weapons and equipment, even tanks."
Xia Yuan smiled and looked up at the sky.
The sky is getting dark, and the US military pursuit force may have passed them. I wonder if the 180th Division has broken out now, and what is the current situation of Commander Zheng and others.
Xia Yuan had a lot of thoughts in his heart.
At night.
Darkness enveloped the highlands.
The U.S. military on the opposite side set off a fire, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark night and swayed with the wind.
Xia Yuan turned on his night vision and eagle eye, and looked at the US military in the distance with a calm expression on his face. He saw the commander of the US military in the machine gun fire bunker, observing their position with a telescope, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
"I'll give you a gift later."
Xia Yuan muttered.
"Company Commander, it's all done. Go over and take a look."
Hao Guangjiu ran over with a smile on his face.
"Walk!"
Arriving at the rear, a group of soldiers were weaving a straw man out of branches and blades of grass. The weaving was lifelike.
There are a lot of them, there must be more than thirty.
"As long as it looks like a human, there's no need to be so detailed. The US military can't see it clearly." Yang Nanzhen was patrolling. When he saw Xia Yuan coming, he smiled and said, "Let's see how it goes."
"Not bad, clean it up and put these straw men on the ground." Xia Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
"Do you have any action plans later?" Yang Nanzhen asked very curiously.
"Hey, instructor Yang, since we are retreating, we have to give the foreign devils a surprise."
Xia Yuan had an inexplicable smile on his face, "Let's go and see how Wang Huzi and the others are preparing."
When they arrived at the position, Wang Huzi and the others were carrying a pile of clothes and heading into the trench.
In the trenches of Goulian, there were piles of clothes, more than ten meters apart, and there were piles of dry branches underneath. When they saw the company commander coming, Wang Huzi and the others said hello: "Company Commander, take a look.
We’ve pretty much done what we said.”
"That's enough, that's enough. Set up those straw men around the position, light the bonfire in the trench, and you circle around the bonfire, then pack up your things and prepare to retreat."
Xia Yuan said with satisfaction.
Wang Huzi and Wu Liang were stunned.
"Company Commander, are we just going to withdraw?"
"withdraw!"
Xia Yuan pointed in the direction with his finger, "Retreat over there!"
Wang Huzi took a look and said with joy on his face: "Hey, company commander, just wait."
The first and second platoons were already waiting at the foot of the mountain. Lao Sun from the third platoon led the soldiers to dig the prepared straw man into the soil. A soldier squatted on the ground and patted the bottom of the straw man with his hand.
The soil underneath was compacted.
call!
The flames ignited the clothes taken off the corpses of the American soldiers, and black flames rose up and soon burned.
"withdraw!"
After doing all this, Xia Yuan waved his hand and retreated from the position with three rows of soldiers.
US military positions.
Akers had just withdrawn from the machine gun bunker and returned to the headquarters. Before his butt was warmed by the stool, an American soldier broke in from outside the gate.
"Commander, you should go out and take a look. The Chinese have lit many fires on the position."
"?" Akers grabbed the clothes he had just taken off and hurriedly walked out of the headquarters, walked through the curved trenches, and came to the machine gun fire bunker that he had just observed. Even without a telescope, he could still see the Chinese positions.
There were flashes of firelight on it.
He immediately picked up the telescope and looked, and there were many figures around the flickering firelight.
"The Chinese actually lit a bonfire." Akers' face showed confusion: "Aren't they afraid of exposing their position?"
"Sir, maybe they think we won't attack their position," the soldier beside him said.
"Fuck!" Akers yelled. It wasn't that he didn't want to attack the Chinese positions, but the current conditions didn't allow it. There was no support from long-range artillery, and there were no tanks or armored vehicles. The only heavy firepower was mortars and
Heavy machine gun.
Under the same conditions, his soldiers are no match for the Chinese.
Akers observed for a while and sighed. These Chinese people were so bold to provoke them like this.
After thinking about it, Akers couldn't swallow this breath. The US military is the greatest army in the world, and China is the most backward country in the world. They were actually provoked by the most backward country in the world.
Akers contacted his commander, who agreed to send a retreating force of tanks and armored vehicles to support him.
