Chapter 72 The battle belonging to the seventh company!
At this moment, everyone was red-eyed. With desperate determination, all the officers and men of the 238th Regiment, under the cover of light machine guns and a few heavy machine guns, launched wave after wave of death-like charges against the enemy's positions. Due to the lack of
Under heavy fire cover, some soldiers hid in bunkers, crawled on the ground, approached the US military's forward positions, and threw grenades at the US military.
In the entire battlefield to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, the only thing that the volunteers did not lack, and the only thing that could effectively attack the enemy, was grenades.
Throughout the entire War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, in addition to large-scale annihilation battles and offensive battles, large units cooperated in operations. Other blocking battles, tactical interludes, night harassment raids, etc. were all carried out by company and platoon units, effectively bringing into play the combat capabilities of our army's small units.
,Among them, sufficient grenades provide a huge help.
In addition, grenades played an important role in some positional battles and became an important weapon for the volunteers to eliminate the US military. This was also due to the violent artillery fire launched by the US military on the volunteer soldier positions and the disparity in the number of enemies and ourselves. The soldiers stationed on the highlands
Most of them are a company, or at least a squad or one or two combat groups. If they lack effective firepower to repel enemy fire, grenades are the best weapon.
Put the enemy closer and charge with your submachine gun. When the enemy gets closer, use a grenade to greet them. If the enemy refuses to retreat and dares to get closer, point your bayonet at the US military.
Time passed bit by bit, and the brothers of the Seventh Company were all waiting quietly for the best opportunity to fight.
The noisy artillery fire has not stopped for a moment from the beginning of the battle to the present. The chains of fire ejected by the US armored vehicles one after another illuminate the night. From a distance, it looks like a giant steel beast spitting tongues of fire.
, the firepower of the armored vehicles frightened the soldiers of the Seventh Company, but at the same time, they felt more hatred towards the US military.
Yu Congrong's eyes were splitting when he saw it, "These enemy vehicles must be blown up! Pinghe! Bring Bazooka with you, we must blow them all up tonight!"
Pinghe nodded solemnly: "I will!"
When this kind of weapon appears on the battlefield, it is absolutely a nightmare for the volunteers who lack heavy firepower and effective weapons to fight tanks.
The battle has been going on for half an hour. The 238th Regiment has attracted most of the U.S. military's firepower from the frontal battlefield, but it is not enough. The 7th Interleaving Company has to wait until the U.S. military completely relaxes its vigilance in their direction.
When they attacked, otherwise those sacrificed soldiers of the 238th Regiment would have died in vain.
Before the battle started, Yu Congrong said to Xia Yuan: "I will blow them up hard later. It is best to blow them all to death!"
"I will, I will blow them up."
Xia Yuan's eyes were cold, and he held a grenade tightly in his hand. The soldiers of the Seventh Company gave him all the grenades on their bodies, leaving only one for himself. Xia Yuan did not want to think about the role of this grenade.
Now possessing seventy-three grenades, Li Laicai was named by Yu Congrong and asked him to follow Xia Yuan. He helped Xia Yuan carry a lot of grenades on his body, and the two of them carried the entire company's grenades.
There were not many grenades, and a lot had been consumed in the previous two battles. He and Li Laicai's arms could be said to contain the entire company's grenades.
Xia Yuan looked at the U.S. military's defense in the distance and had a panoramic view of the U.S. military's defense. His heart was already beginning to stir. He carried more than 70 grenades on his body, and with the 238th Regiment covering the battlefield from the front, Xia Yuan fought tooth and nail.
The seventh interleaving company must also be sent in.
The battle had been going on for an hour, and the soldiers of the Seventh Company couldn't hold it any longer, and asked anxiously why they hadn't launched an attack yet. The casualties of the brother troops were already huge, and if it continued to drag on, the casualties would increase again.
Wu Qianli and Mei Sheng didn't know that it was precisely because their brothers helped them withstand the pressure that they had to calm down. The US military had not yet relaxed its vigilance in this area. If they launched an attack now, it would mean being exposed. Once they attack tonight
If we don't go in, the sacrifice of our brothers and sisters will be in vain at dawn.
No matter how worried they are about their brother troops, they must remain calm and wait until the fighter plane arrives.
God did not let them wait long. The offensive of the volunteers in the east and west was too fierce and the pressure was huge. The U.S. military in the southeast began to reinforce the east and west. From the flickering fire, it was vaguely possible to see the number of U.S. troops remaining on the position.
Not much more.
After a few more minutes, the Osprey whistle belonging to the seventh interleaved company finally sounded. Two captured howitzers were fired from the rear, screaming in the sky, bombing the enemy position they were about to attack, and took the lead in knocking out two enemy units.
A firepower point.
"It's Lei Gong's cannon! Well done! Let the Japanese feel like being bombarded by your own cannon!"
Yu Congrong shouted excitedly.
The soldiers of the 7th Intersection Company, who had been holding back their anger, burst out with unprecedented fighting spirit. The one who fired the first shot of the 7th Intersection Company was Xia Yuan.
With his keen eyesight and unique night vision ability, Xia Yuan keenly saw the panic of the US military when they heard the whistle. As soon as a US machine gunner poked his head out of the bunker, he was shot in the head by him, followed closely.
Pinghe raised his gun and aimed at the US military's searchlight. After two shots, the two searchlights mounted on the southeast trench went out, and the entire US military position fell into darkness.
The panicked shouts of American soldiers and the shouts of lieutenants giving orders were heard everywhere. Before the soldiers of the 7th interleaved company could rush through the American barbed wire fence, the enemy's heavy machine guns had already started firing, and the chain of fire ejected by the heavy machine guns was completely gone.
Seeing the figures of the volunteer soldiers, the shooting direction was the direction where Xia Yuan and Ping He fired. The bullets penetrated the air, made a whooshing sound, and flew overhead.
Three platoons of the Seventh Company formed a formation to launch a fierce attack on the enemy's position.
At this time, a flare was launched into the sky, and the whole world seemed to turn into daylight. The formation of the entire seventh company was instantly exposed to the enemy's eyes. The shells made a sharp whistle in the sky, and Wu Qianli blew the osprey whistle, "Quickly disperse."
Open! Disperse quickly!"
The American artillery shells fell on their attack route. The shells screamed from the sky and bloomed all over the road where they met again. There was no firelight when the shells fell, only smoke and flying soil.
Xia Yuan huddled in the bunker, and the dirt rolled up by the explosion fell on him. They had just launched the attack, and the U.S. military stationed in front called for artillery to provide artillery support to their front positions. At this moment, Xia Yuan experienced it personally.
to the cruelty of war.
And this is just the beginning.
After a round of fierce artillery fire, the whistle sounded again, and the volunteer soldiers who had suffered a round of shelling quickly rushed towards the defense line built by the US military.
"Brother Laicai! Follow me!" Xia Yuan's keen eyesight found the point where the enemy's heavy firepower was deployed, and then found a position where the enemy's heavy firepower could not hit, but where he could throw the grenade. The two of them crouched,
Walking through the hail of bullets.
“Is this location feasible?”
Li Laicai followed him and hid behind the bunker, looking at the battlefield in the distance. From a long distance away, it didn't look like a good place to drop a bomb.
Xia Yuan grinned and put the grenade on the ground, "I have observed this position. The US military cannot hit it and it is not covered by artillery fire. It can perfectly throw the grenade onto the US military position."
Li Laicai carried the gun on his back and looked at the machine gun spraying flames in the distance: "I listen to you."
"Brother Laicai, just watch out. If I don't blow up these American devils, my last name, Xia Yuan, is written backwards."
Xia Yuan's eyes were cold, and he quickly scanned the battlefield, pulled off a grenade, and threw it out with all his strength.
Li Laicai raised his head. This was the first time in his life that he had seen a grenade thrown so far. Reflected in his pupils, the grenade exploded over the U.S. heavy machine gun. The fire point of the machine gun that was originally spitting out flames was instantly extinguished.
The first fire point that suppressed the soldiers of the Seventh Company and could not lift their heads was so easily pulled out by Xia Yuan with a grenade.
Before he could react, Xia Yuan fired the second and third bombs. He threw his arms away, his eyes moving on the US soldiers' bunker, and threw the grenade over. The grenade exploded accurately in the air, shattering shrapnel.
Splattering everywhere, even hiding in the bunker is of no avail. His target is specifically the US machine gun fire point. The grenades detonated in the air are killing the US military at the fire point.
"Oh! God!"
"Fuck! Call our armored vehicles to come support!!"
Air bursts rang out one after another, and the American soldiers could not feel the direction from which these grenades flew out. Before they could react, the broken shrapnel pierced their bodies, and they lay dying in the bunker without any combat effectiveness.
Just by Xia Yuan's bomb drop, the American soldiers in the front could not raise their heads. They did not even dare to show their heads. They only heard grenades exploding in the air and the smoke filled the air.
Mei Sheng raised his head, looked around, held his gun and shouted: "Beautiful! Xia Yuan's grenades were thrown really well, and he took out three enemy fire points! I will remember him once the battle is over!"
Wu Qianli blew the whistle, and the soldiers of the Seventh Company heard the whistle and jumped out of the bunker again. The soldiers at the front came to the barbed wire fence and their eyes suddenly froze. The barbed wire fence was covered with sharp barbs.
Each barbed wire emitted a cold light, and the sight of this barbed wire in an already icy and snowy place made the volunteer soldiers feel even colder.
