Chapter 71 On the night of the 28th, the battle started again!
After Xia Yuan finished speaking, he also fell into silence. In fact, the battle in Xingxingli was won. Even though he knew that Xingxingli had completely wiped out the 31st regimental combat team of the US Seventh Division, tonight's battle still had to be fought.
, how to fight, how to fight, how to ensure the destruction of the enemy's effective strength and reduce the casualties of our army.
This is not something he can change alone.
The commander of the 238th Regiment looked at the turtle shell that the U.S. Army was gradually forming on the map, and said: "Since there is no other way, then tear open the enemy's tortoise shell, hit all the artillery, bomb the enemy's fortifications built in front, and cover the soldiers.
Assault into Xingxingli!"
He looked at Wu Qianli and Tan Ziwei: "If we want to win, we still need your cooperation. The 1100 Highland and 1200 Highland will be handed over to my 238th Regiment. I need the 7th Interleaving Company to penetrate from the flanks, and my 238th Regiment to organize a strong attack from the front."
, to attract the enemy's firepower from the east, you can insert it at the right time. If we can penetrate in, we should cooperate with the inside and outside to open a hole for our troops to enter. This way we still have a chance. Talk to the battalion commander. When the time comes, you will be the first of the 238th Regiment.
Second echelon.”
Xia Yuan watched silently as the commander of the 238th Regiment issued combat missions. If the volunteer soldiers relied on his defense plan to achieve a great victory on the first night, then the second night was definitely the most tragic.
The U.S. forces in Neidongzhi and Xingxingli reunited and built a circular defensive position in Xingxingli, which the U.S. military was best at. Such a position was like a turtle shell, causing huge trouble to the volunteer soldiers.
In fact, on the night of the 28th, the 238th Regiment successfully tore apart the US military's circular defense line in Xingxingli and successfully penetrated Xingxingli. However, it encountered strong firepower inside Xingxingli, and its firepower came from the enemy's self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery.
Coupled with the dim light in the sky, it was not conducive for our army to fight during the day, so we could only regretfully withdraw from Xingxing-ri and retreat to the rear.
Otherwise, at dawn, the volunteers will be exposed to enemy aircraft and tanks, and they will be unable to leave even if they want to.
After everyone's deliberation, the combat mission was issued on the night of the 28th.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky darkened again, and the offense and defense switched again.
Wu Qianli led the seventh interleaving company to move quickly towards the left side of the 1200 highland. If they wanted to intersect smoothly, they needed to bypass these two highlands, but if they wanted to bypass these two highlands, they must ensure that these two highlands were
There are no American troops on the ground, otherwise they would be flanked.
The 238th Regiment followed closely, and its targets were Highland 1100 and Highland 1200.
Tan Ziwei's third battalion moved from the flanks to the 1100 and 1200 heights to regain the position. The seventh intersecting company will not participate. They have a more important interleaving task.
Darkness falls and the temperature begins to drop.
The division headquarters quickly issued an order to launch a general attack on Xingxingli at 4:30.
At this time, all the troops have entered combat positions again, and their attack time is about to come.
"Brother, the enemy's heavy firepower is left to the artillery platoon, especially the enemy's heavy machine guns and bunkers. Don't be stingy with the artillery shells. We will seize them after they are finished."
Wu Qianli was anxious for each platoon and squad to come over for a meeting. He was arranging the final combat mission.
Lei Gong grinned and smiled: "Don't worry, we just captured the US military's howitzers last night, letting the American devils taste how it feels to be bombarded by their own cannons."
Wu Qianli warned: "After setting up the artillery, you must be careful of the American artillery. They have more artillery than ours. After you finish the bombing, leave your previous position and don't give the other side a chance."
Lei Gong nodded, indicating that he knew. The U.S. military's artillery was far more mature and better equipped than them. If the artillery fired at each other, the other side could cover the entire artillery position in an instant.
In the early stages of the current war to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, artillery is very precious, and artillery shells must be used in the right place.
Wu Qianli continued to make arrangements: "The first and second platoons will attack from the front, and the third platoon will cover from the rear. The 238th Regiment has not launched a general attack. We should not move here either. Wait for the opportunity. When most of the US military is attracted to the east, our
The opportunity has come. Yu Congrong, you platoon leaders, please discuss and gather the grenades of the seventh company. Each soldier will carry two grenades. All the extra grenades will be given to Xia Yuan. His bomb-dropping ability is a strong point and is suitable for breaking through enemy fire points.
.”
Yu Congrong responded: "Yes!"
Wu Qianli stared at Yu Congrong again and ordered: "After the whole company attacks, you immediately take your platoon to the enemy's rear on the eastern front to harass the enemy, support the 238th Regiment, and escort them into the village!"
Yu Congrong nodded: "Understood!"
They have passed through the 1200 Highlands and arrived at the southeast corner of Xinxingli. The plan is very simple. The eastern frontal battlefield launched by the 238th Regiment and the 3rd Battalion attracts enemy firepower. The 7th Interpenetrating Company takes the opportunity to try to penetrate from the flank and try to tear the enemy apart.
The defense line cooperated with the 238th Regiment to attack Xingxingli.
As for the frontal battlefield of the 238th Regiment, after capturing two highlands, it needed to concentrate its superior forces and focus on one enemy point. The 3rd Battalion served as a support force to prevent the soldiers from becoming weak in attack and unable to follow up.
It only took an hour for all the attacking troops to reach the designated location.
At 4:30, red flares lit up in the sky, signaling the launch of a general attack.
The calm night was once again torn apart by artillery fire. The ground shook and the artillery fire was noisy. The US military seemed to be well prepared. When the enemy's artillery fire came, they responded quickly and used walkie-talkies to carry out artillery strikes on locations that needed support. At the same time, they also
The artillery positions of the Volunteer Army conducted artillery strikes.
A tug-of-war began again. The volunteer soldiers launched a fierce attack on the highlands recovered by the US military during the day. Under the fierce artillery fire and the loud charge horn, the volunteer soldiers had high morale and launched wave after wave of surprise attacks on the highlands where the US troops were stationed.
The U.S. troops who heard the Charge rushed away with little ability to resist.
In less than half an hour, the high ground that the U.S. military had finally captured during the day was again lost, and the high ground began to threaten the U.S. military's defenses in Xingxingli. When the highland troops gathered, the troops' offensive turned to Xingxingli.
In the east, the 238th Regiment and the 3rd Battalion cooperated to successfully capture the high ground, and quickly concentrated their superior forces. Under the cover of artillery, they launched a fierce attack on the US defense line in the east. The second echelon of the 3rd Battalion was also in place.
In the west and south, the 239th Regiment launched a fierce attack on the U.S. defense line in Xingxingli from Highland 1250 and Highland 1456.
To the north of Jiangqiao is the 240th Regiment of the 80th Division. Their mission was to eliminate the U.S. forces in the Neidong Standoff. However, due to the sudden withdrawal of the U.S. forces in the Neidong Standoff during the day, and the untimely pursuit by the commanders and soldiers, the U.S. forces in the Neidong Standoff were killed.
The U.S. military in Xinxingli successfully met.
On the evening of the 28th, the 240th Regiment arrived north of Xinxingli Jiangqiao. At this point, the 80th Division's 238th Regiment, 239th Regiment and 240th Regiment formed an encirclement of the US troops in Xinxingli. The 81st Division's 242th Regiment was responsible for the 1221 Highlands, 1142 Highlands and 1413 Highlands.
Block the support of U.S. troops from Xiajieyuli to Xingxingli, especially the U.S. troops in Surabaya.
On the night of the 28th, the battle began.
Xia Yuan followed Yu Congrong's platoon as the main attacker. Through night vision, he could clearly see the U.S. military's defenses in Xingxing Lane. In one day, the U.S. military built new defenses in Xingxing Lane, including barbed wire.
Trench, heavy firepower point, tanks and armored vehicles.
As far as the eye can see, from a long distance away, you can see the figures of the US military shooting in the position. They are hiding in the pits and shooting fiercely at the volunteer soldiers rushing down from the mountains. The heavy artillery tears the sky, and the sharp roars come one after another.
, covering up the sound of gunshots and bullets, and soon a scene appeared in the east nearest to them that made everyone pale.
Five or six long chains of fire suddenly appeared in the distance, like a long whip hitting the highlands of 1200 and 1100. The sound could be compared to that of a cannon. Some soldiers saw the places where they were hit by bullets.
It left a huge crater, as if it had been blasted by a grenade.
US Army self-propelled anti-aircraft gun carrier.
This time, the prepared U.S. military firepower was fully loaded. Not only in the east, but also in the west, the same situation occurred. The defenses were insufficient, so heavy firepower was used to supplement them.
The sound of the anti-aircraft gun was like the roar of a giant beast, spitting out chains of fire. Even some veterans who had experienced the battlefield changed their expressions. The long chain of fire was like a bright bolt, slamming into their hearts.
This is the heavy firepower of the US military. When some soldiers were charging, they were hit by bullets from this machine gun and were directly shattered to the ground, with no bones visible.
The 155-meter heavy artillery that appeared on subsequent battlefields could even destroy a basketball court with one shot.
