Chapter 191 The irritable and restless US commander
Xia Yuan took the lead and fired, still with the familiar rapid fire. Eight gunshots were accompanied by eight enemies falling to the ground. The dense area was like a wheat field blown by the wind, and it fell in an instant.
"The battalion commander's marksmanship is still as good as ever."
The soldiers took a look, and their hearts were full of fighting spirit. They formed an inverted triangle formation in groups of three and three, scattered on the battlefield, ready to give the enemy a heavy blow at any time. The soldiers had been fighting with each other for so long, and they had already formed a
With a sense of tacit understanding, when the enemy comes up, the two of them shoot alternately. When the number of enemies increases, one person from the rear will carry out fire suppression.
In this way, even though there are many attacking enemies, they are still controlled by one squad of soldiers.
The enemy's offensive became more fierce, and the soldiers fought more calmly.
But not long after, the US military brought in mortars and carried out precise strikes on the only remaining squad of soldiers on the position. The shells fell on the ground one after another, and with a roar, Xia Yuan raised his head,
In the thick smoke, three soldiers died on the spot.
"Damn it!" Xia Yuan cursed and frantically pulled the trigger on the enemy.
The sound of the gunfire was very clear and sweet. When the enemy attacked, one enemy after another was lying on the ground. Again, like frightened birds, the group of American devils huddled in their position.
"Repulse this wave of enemy attacks, and we will retreat!" Xia Yuan couldn't bear to watch his soldiers die anymore. He shouted, carrying a submachine gun and a semi-automatic rifle on his back, and picked up the US military's M1918 light
Machine gun, rush out of the bunker, and move sideways.
The enemy saw Xia Yuan's detour and fired bullets at rapid speed.
Xia Yuan held the light machine gun and rolled into the trench. The enemy's bullets landed on the mound of soil above his head, causing the soil to splash continuously.
Afraid that the dirt would be wiped off his face and the spit would be stained with dirt, making his dark face look like a tabby cat. Xia Yuan cursed again and touched his leg. It hurt so much that he held a light machine gun in one hand.
, supporting the ground with one hand and moving forward, he wanted to continue to make a circuitous route.
After reaching a certain distance, he stood up with his gun on the ground, placed the light machine gun on the soft ground, pointed the gun at the U.S. troops arriving at the forward position, pulled the trigger, and twenty rounds of bullets fired fiercely through the air.
With the sound of gunfire, a large number of American troops fell to the ground. Regardless of whether they were shot or not, they fell down first when they heard the sound of gunfire.
The American-made M1918 light machine gun is a modified fully automatic rifle. It has a magazine of twenty rounds and a range of 800 meters. It can be used as a rifle or a light machine gun. The number of magazines with twenty rounds of bullets is limited and cannot be used.
Effective fire suppression, but perfect for shooting at charging US troops.
In a fierce battle, a squad of soldiers faced an attack by a battalion of enemy soldiers. It was obvious that they could not withstand the attack. However, because of Xia Yuan's presence, the situation turned around. However, the reversed situation did not last long. The US military discovered
He was attacked and mortars from the rear were called in to restrain him.
The U.S. military knew that there was a Chinese with very accurate marksmanship on the position, and when the U.S. infantry attacked, they used a large number of mortars to suppress it.
However, the Chinese troops on the position were in a reinforced company and could not be found at first. However, as the number of Chinese on the position became smaller and smaller, the Chinese was exposed. Restricting him would be conducive to attacking this Chinese force.
position.
It is strange to say that the surrounding US military has formed a situation of surrounding it. If you casually call the surrounding US military to come over for support, the independent battalion led by Xia Yuan will be attacked in the belly and the entire army will be destroyed. However, the US military did not do this.
The U.S. troops in the regiment directly ahead held their heads high and fought with Xia Yuan for a day and a half without even calling for reinforcements.
This plays into Xia Yuan's plan. If you don't call for support, I will not retreat. This will block the US troops in your regiment and relieve huge pressure on the main force of the division.
Although it is restricted now, the combat intention has been achieved long ago. It doesn't matter whether the position is lost or not. The only thing now is to delay as much time as possible.
The American commander's face looked somewhat haggard. He sat in the tent without saying a word. The hot coffee on the table had cooled down. Water from the heavy rain was falling from the curtain. The sound of artillery fire and rain were constantly intertwined.
Bang!
After thinking for a long time, he slammed the table and closed his eyes, with some pain on his face.
"FUCK! Damn the Chinese!"
His original intention was to eat up this group of enemies, so he would get all the credit. There were not many Chinese on the position. There were a lot of them at first, and then some of them were withdrawn. But it doesn't matter, annihilating them is still a great achievement.
One piece.
But as the battle progressed, he found that he had underestimated the Chinese. After paying huge casualties and fighting for most of a day, the deepest fight was only to occupy the Chinese forward position.
The enemy is like a nail, driven deeply into the ground.
Despite the bombing by planes and artillery, the random firing of tanks, and the crazy charging of infantry, the enemy still showed no sign of disintegration. This shocked him and was somewhat unbelievable at the same time. He decided to increase the intensity of the attack, and the battle continued until the end.
The next day, although the enemy retreated and they occupied the position, they did not retreat far. Instead, they found a new position and continued to block them.
After fighting this difficult Chinese army for so long, they are still blocked here. At this time, other pursuit troops have gone deep. At this time, they call for support to deal with the few Chinese on the position. Not only do they have to be
Ridiculing at incompetence will most likely lead to Almond's punishment. You must know that his commander is also under tremendous pressure. What he does at this time will definitely touch Almond's nerves.
"Fuck!"
Without calling for support, it will be very difficult for them to attack.
Calling for support and mobilizing the surrounding US troops to close in would affect the progress of the pursuit and delay time. Moreover, there seemed to be only a hundred or so Chinese on the position. Calling for support, even if the position was captured, would not only result in no credit, but would instead become a punishment.
.
The American commander became angrier as he thought about it. He was already tightly restrained here.
An American soldier ran in wet and said happily: "Sir, the position has been captured by us!"
The American commander raised his head, not at all happy, but yelled: "Fuck! One company of Chinese delayed us for so long, idiot, our entire regiment was held back by them for two days, look at what time it is now
Fuck!”
The captain of the American Legion cursed, walked out of the camp, threw off the raincoat handed to him by the soldiers around him, and walked into the heavy rain. Suddenly he felt a little cold, so he put on the raincoat obediently and looked at the smoke-filled battlefield in the distance, with a hint of blue eyes.
It's a bit heavy.
He was thinking about how to explain to the Commander.
An entire regiment was pinned down here by a company of Chinese, and they advanced six to seven kilometers in two days.
"No, it's not my fault. The rear didn't give me artillery support. They only sent two groups of fighter jets. Fuck, you want me to shoot them down. How is that possible? It's not like they don't know the fighting power of the Chinese. One division of the Chinese blocked four of us.
The attack of a division is still chasing their main force. My regiment is being restrained by a company, not a battalion, yes, it must be a battalion. It is natural for me to be restrained by a battalion."
The American commander comforted himself, and he felt much better.
The position was lost, it was indeed lost. A battalion of US troops attacked crazily, and mortars were used to restrict Xia Yuan. As soon as the gunshots were fired, five or six artillery shells would be fired, making Xia Yuan miserable.
The US military's offensive troops even occupied the forward position, and under the cover of machine gun fire and mortars, they quickly built a position and formed a confrontation with Xia Yuan, Hao Guangjiu and the others on the position.
This time the US military was determined to take down the position. This time they learned wisely. After occupying the forward position, they set up camp step by step, dug fortifications and bunkers, and suppressed Xia Yuan and the others with fire. Apparently at this time, the US military also realized that the position was on the ground.
There are very few Chinese left, and the position must belong to them.
It was through this method that the position was taken down.
There were only three soldiers left in a squad, Xia Yuan, Hao Guangjiu, and another young soldier Xiao Siping. Wu Ba was sacrificed by the enemy's shells.
They hid in the bomb shelter on the reverse slope, crowded together.
"Batalion Commander, our position is lost." Xiao Siping said sadly.
"Battal Commander, I'll take Xiao Siping to regain the position!" Hao Guangjiu squatted on the ground and said solemnly.
"If you lose it, just lose it. Our mission has been completed." Xia Yuan looked at the only two people left and sighed: "It's a pity that everyone else stayed on the battlefield."
Xia Yuan's eyes showed a bit of sadness. One battalion initially retreated partially, but the subsequent company suffered huge casualties. Wang Chenghui took away more than forty soldiers, and they were the only eight soldiers left.
Three people.
He once promised these soldiers that he would take them out, but many soldiers still failed to come out and stayed in the position.
Suddenly, there was a burst of chirping sounds from around him. Xia Yuan put away the sadness in his heart and immediately made a gesture of silence. He vaguely heard the voice of the US military talking. It was getting closer and closer. It seemed that a US military search team was approaching.
"Batalion Commander! I'll lead them away!" Hao Guangjiu volunteered, "Xiao Siping, take care of the battalion commander."
The battalion commander's legs and feet are not convenient. If he is discovered by the enemy, he may not be able to walk. Only by luring the enemy away can the battalion commander be safe.
Just as he was about to take action, he was caught by Xia Yuan.
But he saw that his battalion commander looked calm and said without any panic: "Don't move, they may not find us."
They built a lot of bomb shelters on the reverse slope. Most of them were single bomb shelters. There were a lot of them, as many as more than two hundred. Later, a small part of them were destroyed by enemy artillery. There were still some bomb shelters. Where they were
The bomb shelter is located in a bush and is surrounded by bushes.
When the U.S. military searches a large number of bomb shelters, they may not search carefully, and may even ignore bomb shelters in the grass.
The situation is indeed as Xia Yuan suspected. There are hundreds of bomb shelters, almost two soldiers digging each one together, scattered on the reverse slope of the position. There is no pattern at all. If you search carefully, there will be many misses, let alone their search.
The bomb shelter we arrived at was still between dense bushes, making it even more difficult for the enemy to spot it.
"Damn it, the Chinese have dug so many holes."
"No wonder our artillery fire didn't wipe them out. They are just as hateful as the Japanese. They are all rats."
"Be careful, in case they haven't left yet."
"It's raining so hard, hurry up, I'm going to feel sick to death."
These American soldiers searched and complained at the same time, but had to be cautious. Naturally, they ignored the bomb shelter in the bushes, and these American soldiers did not even look here.
The sound gradually faded away, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Hao Guangjiu took out the marching water bottle from his waist and collected the raindrops. After collecting three bottles of water, he watched the sky gradually darken, carefully stretched out his head to observe the surroundings, and whispered
said:
"Battal Commander, the enemies are all gone."
"We will set off when it gets dark."
The three of them hid in the bomb crater. The heavy rain quickly accumulated a lot of rainwater in the bomb crater. It was extremely uncomfortable to soak in the water. They were soaked to the skin and shivering from the cold. Xia Yuan's leg was already broken and it hurt so much.
After soaking his leg in the water, it hurt even more, but he pursed his lips and remained silent, silently enduring the pain in his calf.
"Battal Commander, do you think the company commander has withdrawn? Have the instructors found the main force?" Xiao Siping asked, leaning against the wet wall, looking at the sky shrouded in black clouds.
"They will withdraw, and the instructor will find our large force." Xia Yuan said calmly.
He did not regret asking everyone to withdraw first. If everyone did not withdraw, while retreating and fighting at the same time, a battalion's troops would soon be dispersed by the enemy's artillery fire. Once dispersed, if they wanted to gather again,
It's very difficult.
The five battles of the Volunteer Army have proved that the Volunteer Army is not suitable for large-scale corps wars. Positional warfare based on tunnels and piecemeal tactics are the most suitable tactics for the Volunteer Army. Therefore, after the fifth battle, there is no
The sixth battle.
Mobile warfare at the battalion level or above is not suitable for the volunteer army.
Especially when the enemy is pursuing the most intensely, letting them retreat first is undoubtedly the clearest choice.
"Batalion Commander, do you think we can escape?" Xiao Siping asked again.
"Boy, don't ask so many questions. Do you know how the battalion commander brought us out in the first place? The battalion commander will definitely be able to bring us out." Hao Guangjiu, who was lying on the reverse slope observing the position, turned around and said.
Xia Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "I will take you two out and find our main force."
He still has the strength to escape with two people.
Xia Yuan looked up at the sky and said, "When it gets dark, the world will be ours."
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the rain was pouring down, falling on them, making them wet and cold, making them shiver.
