Chapter 73: Even if it means death, we must push the enemy back!
"It's too late to pull out the enemy's barbed wire!"
Jiang Zhenhua, squad leader of the second platoon, squatted in front of the barbed wire fence, staring at the U.S. troops in the distance. The grenade thrown by Xia Yuan, the hero of his company, made the enemy unable to raise their heads, buying them time to attack, but time was very tight.
, once the enemy's reinforcements arrive, their interspersed attack is likely to fail.
The most critical thing is that the seventh company does not have many grenades.
He gritted his teeth, put down the gun, grabbed the barbed wire with his hand and pressed it down hard. The sharp barbs on the barbed wire pierced the skin of his palm. The blood stained the cloth strips wrapped around his palm, but the barbed wire remained motionless and penetrated deeply.
In the soil.
When the soldiers of the second squad saw this, they shouted: "Squad leader!"
Seeing that this method was not working, Jiang Zhenhua threw himself directly on the barbed wire fence, pressed down with his own weight, and shouted loudly: "Step on my body, quick!"
The soldier's eyes turned red, he gritted his teeth, and threw himself on the barbed wire fence in the manner of squad leader Jiang Zhenhua. The sharp barbs did not pierce his clothes, but even so, the barbs scratching his clothes still caused pain to his body.
"Platoon commander! Hurry! Once the US armored vehicles arrive, we won't be able to rush in!"
Jiang Zhenhua shouted and used all his strength to push down the barbed wire. The sharp spikes of the barbed wire pierced his clothes.
Yu Congrong shouted: "Go up!"
A row of soldiers woke up, climbed over the barbed wire fence on squad leader Jiang Zhenhua's body, and rushed towards the enemy's position.
One... two... With the heavy pressure downwards, the barbs of the barbed wire pierced his clothes and his skin. With a huge twist, the barbs piercing into the flesh cut away the flesh.
It was cut open bit by bit, and the blood stained the clothes on his chest red.
With the efforts of several soldiers from the second squad, Yu Congrong's platoon successfully broke through the enemy's barbed wire fence. They didn't even have time to care about the soldiers lying on the barbed wire fence. They stared at the enemy's artillery fire with their guns and charged forward quickly.
The number of landmines deployed by the US military in Xingxingli is not large, otherwise tonight's attack will be more difficult. In one day, the US military can only build a ring of defenses, and at the same time it has to recapture the positions and high ground lost on the night of the 27th. It is obviously too late to lay more landmines.
The successful penetration of a platoon had a remarkable effect. Yu Congrong led a squad of firepower platoon soldiers and divided them into seven or eight combat groups. The groups cooperated with each other, and with Xia Yuan's grenade cover, they quickly passed through the enemy.
barbed wire fence, and successfully broke through to the US military's forward positions. With the help of the fortifications built by the US military on the forward positions, they launched a fierce attack on the US troops in the rear.
The U.S. troops hiding in the pit saw that the 7th Intersection Company was getting closer and closer to them, and they quickly retreated. The flares did not last long before they went out, and the whole world fell into darkness again. Only the flares on the eastern front came through.
Light.
With their withdrawal, they were directly exposed to Xia Yuan's gunfire. He formed a sniper team behind the 7th interleaved company, at the Peace River, and Li Laicai to snipe the fleeing US troops on the US position. Xia Yuan
His marksmanship from far away became more and more proficient, especially in the dark night. Li Laicai and Ping He's marksmanship were affected by the night, and their hit rate was greatly reduced.
And night is Xia Yuan's main battlefield.
He relied on a big gun and kept firing and pulling the trigger, just like harvesting wheat. Every time a gunshot rang out, it was accompanied by the fall of an American soldier. The sound of gunfire and artillery fire made the world faintly aware of the
Screams and panicked cries were heard from the US military position.
Two hours later, under the cover of the first platoon, the second and third platoons successfully dismantled the barbed wire fence and broke into the enemy's position.
When Jiang Zhenhua, the leader of the second shift of the first platoon, was pierced by barbed wire and injured, he only did a simple bandage and quickly went into battle. Xia Yuan and the other three also followed most of the enemy troops with guns in hand.
In front of the enemy's position, he hid in the enemy's bunker to cover the volunteer soldiers' attack on the US military position.
"Follow me in a row!"
Yu Congrong yelled at the top of his voice, saying that the second and third platoons had already invaded the enemy's position. They were now going to the west to help the 238th Regiment, and they would cooperate with the 238th Regiment to tear open the U.S. military's defense line in the east.
"Pinghe, you stay and help Wu Qianli, and I'll go help Yu Congrong." Xia Yuan inserted the grenades one by one into the belt around his waist and turned to the two of them.
"I'll go with you!" Li Laicai also had some grenades on his body.
"The matters on the company commander's side are more important. The further you go in, the more fierce the US military's firepower will be. You must stay to defend the position we just captured."
Xia Yuan stuffed ten grenades and said, "Don't worry, we won't have any problems with our sneak attack from behind the US military. It's you who should be more careful. When the US military slows down, supports come over, and armored vehicles and tanks come over, the battle will be even more difficult."
Li Laicai looked at him with complicated eyes and whispered: "Be careful!"
Xia Yuan nodded, with a smile on his dark cheeks: "You didn't beat me to death last time, how could you beat me to death this time? Just wait for me to take over the 238th Regiment."
After saying that, he held the gun and walked toward the east of Xinxingli.
The battle in the eastern part of Xinxingli was also particularly difficult. The US military's defenses were very strange. Their barbed wire was very close to the infantry bunkers. This gave the volunteers a great obstacle. They could not use the cover of night to tear open the barbed wire, and they had to capture the US military.
The infantry position must be separated and the barbed wire fence must be torn apart at the same time, which greatly increases the difficulty of the attack.
The U.S. military set up particularly concealed firepower points in the trenches dug in the rear. These firepower points were almost lying in bunkers, covered with wood and covered with weeds. At night, only the flickering muzzle flashes could be seen in the dark night.
, but you can’t see the US military bunker, it’s like a firepower point sticking out from the ground.
Such a firepower point does not need to consider whether it can suppress the Volunteer Army's troops on the ground, because their attack target is the Volunteer Army rushing down from the mountain. The Volunteer Army that has already come down the mountain has other firepower points to attack.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Coupled with the cover of heavy artillery, under the smoke, the artillery shells tore through the sky one after another, falling on the road where the volunteers charged, and the ground shook
Like an earthquake, the soil rolled up several feet high and fell loudly, falling on the bodies of the volunteer soldiers.
The first and second battalions were currently in charge of the frontal attack, and they encountered the most intense firepower from the US military. So far, the two battalions have been reduced to four infantry companies, with a large number of wounded. Some of the wounded were only bandaged and then continued to fight.
During the battle, Battalion Commander Sun's third battalion and Tan Ziwei's third battalion served as reserves.
The commander of the 238th Regiment waited anxiously for the news of the 7th Intermediate Company. He was paying attention to the battle ahead every moment.
"The enemy's firepower is too fierce, especially the enemy's armored vehicles. Our soldiers... Once our soldiers are hit, their bodies will be gone." The instructor said with a choked voice.
"Commander, let us go up! Pull down the first and second battalions!" shouted the commander of the third battalion.
"No, you have to wait! Even if the mission of the 7th interleaving company fails, you have to wait! When the enemy's firepower weakens in the second half of the night, it's time to use you."
The leader's eyes were glowing red and his hands were tightly clenched into fists. How could he not feel distressed.
Whoever serves as the main attacker will bear huge casualties. The palms and backs of his hands are all flesh. No matter which team is sent up, they are his soldiers and his brothers. Whoever sacrifices will be the one who hurts.
Compassion does not control soldiers. This kind of difficult decision requires a choice.
But war is always so cruel, just like sending troops to guard the 1100 Highlands and 1200 Highlands. He knew that if he sent troops to the highlands, half of his body would already be in the coffin, but he had to send troops to guard the highlands. Those soldiers also knew that he
It is very likely that you will not be able to get back down after you go up, but no one complains, and they still carry out the mission resolutely, fighting to the last bullet and the last drop of blood, and they must live and die with the position.
Elegies have never stopped since the Anti-Japanese War.
He still remembered that when he had just crossed the Yalu River and met the North Korean people, the village bombed by US military planes turned into ruins. The surviving children sat beside the corpses of their parents and looked helplessly at the world. At such a young age, he might not
Knowing why his parents fell asleep like this, he even shook their parents' bodies in an attempt to wake them up.
Such a scene deeply pierced the hearts of the volunteer soldiers. This scene once happened in their hometown.
At that time, they had a belief that this kind of tragedy could not happen again in our motherland. Even if they died, they would push the enemy back!
