The deputy company commander of the fourth company was lying next to Xia Yuan, his words full of curiosity.
Xia Yuan would answer whatever he asked, and he would answer exactly what he asked without any concealment.
Zhou Mao ran over from not far away, "Xia Yuan, Xiao Heping is here."
Xia Yuan turned around and saw Xiao Heping quickly crossing the bridge and running to the reverse slope on their side. He looked around. When he saw Xia Yuan, he immediately ran over: "Xia Yuan, I found you."
"Where's the monitor?"
"The squad leader and the others are at the back. Don't worry, I've arranged for them." Xiao Heping said: "Besides, the squad leader asked me to come and help you. The enemies are coming up. One more person will bring more strength."
"Okay." Xia Yuan nodded.
"The enemy is coming."
The bugler in the distance shouted at the top of his lungs.
Everyone cautiously poked their heads out from the bunker. Under the illumination of the flares, the valley fields were filled with enemy figures, and they came towards them with long guns and short cannons.
Boom.
The tank opened fire and exploded on the bridge in the distance, instantly blasting a huge gap on one side of the bridge.
"Hey, I was wondering how to blow up this bridge, but I didn't expect that the American devils would do it themselves." The deputy company commander held his wet hat and turned to stare, with a happy look on his face.
"Boy, can you hit that American guy with the phone on his back?"
After a moment of surprise, the deputy company commander came over and pointed at the American soldier who was two to three hundred meters away and cautiously touched him.
"Can."
Xia Yuan took aim slightly and pulled the trigger.
Bang, a gunshot.
The deputy company commander immediately looked up, but saw the target he was pointing to fall to the ground. The US troops around him were shocked and fell down. He clenched his fist happily and said, "Good fight, really beautiful fight."
"Who, who fired the shot!"
Fourth company commander Zhou Shiming ran over.
"Lao Zhou, I asked him to fire the gun. We have found a treasure."
The deputy company commander told Company Commander Zhou what had just happened. After hearing this, Company Commander Zhou looked a little surprised: "You can hit this from three to four hundred meters away!?"
"How about you say you found a treasure?"
The deputy company commander said happily: "This young comrade is from the 38th Army, as are the two people next to him. He probably got separated from the larger army."
"The 38th Army is far away from us."
"yes."
"Then let him follow us temporarily. After this mission is over, I will go to the battalion commander to see if I can find the 38th Army."
"Yes, yes, this little comrade has made great contributions."
Say it.
The enemy has already touched down, and the tanks will not fire. I guess the American devils are also worried about blowing up the bridge. They can't escape, so they can only use infantry and artillery to attack the bridgehead position to see if they can blow it up.
The bridgehead was captured.
The enemies came up very quickly and were soon only a hundred meters away from them.
Zhou Shiming moved quickly in the trench, telling the soldiers to stay calm and move the enemy closer before shooting.
The enemy was getting closer and closer. Zhou Shiming lay down in the trench, looked up at the paused light rain, wiped the rain off his face, and said, "The rain has stopped, that's a good thing."
"The enemy is coming! Get ready!"
He held a rifle and aimed at the approaching American soldiers in the distance.
Bang!
Gunshots rang out.
It was as if an uncontrollable switch had been pressed, and the crackling sound, like the sound of fried beans magnified several times, resounded from the position.
The sound of the machine gun kept ringing, giving the enemy powerful firepower to suppress.
Xia Yuan targeted the enemy's special units, such as the American soldiers carrying walkie-talkies behind their backs and carrying bazookas on their shoulders. In a short time, more than a dozen American soldiers died in his hands.
Xiao Heping and Zhou Mao are not very good at shooting. It can be basically seen that their hands and feet are relatively unfamiliar.
Many of the soldiers in the company are veterans. Aim and hold your breath. After pulling the trigger, you can see the fallen enemy.
Xiao Heping and Zhou Mao, on the other hand, shot completely randomly, without any aim at all, and attacked the US military like a blind cat encountering a dead mouse.
This is understandable. After all, this is the first positional battle between the two of them. The rumbling artillery fire can infinitely amplify the fear in people's hearts, but it still needs to slowly temper the two of them.
The sudden firepower stunned the American troops who rushed up. These American soldiers did not have the spirit of living for death during World War II and the Pacific War. When they saw a large number of people in front of them falling, the people behind them fell into disarray.
I lost the will to fight, and after two attempts I failed to charge down. I stopped rushing forward, put away my gun, lay down on the ground and started shooting.
The battle lasted for more than half an hour, and the U.S. military suffered obviously huge casualties and had to retreat.
At around one o'clock in the middle of the night, the battalion and the Sixth Company came to support, and the counterattack began. The whole battalion launched an attack on the enemy on the road, forcing more than 400 American soldiers into an open field.
During the fierce battle, the platoon leader of the fourth company led the platoon towards the road and knocked out more than 20 enemy vehicles. Then he led the third squad to insert into the enemy group and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. The machine gun bullets on the enemy tanks hit him.
He held on to his last breath, hacked an American soldier to death, and died heroically.
The American troops who were driven into the open field used tanks to form a circular defense circle.
The entire battalion fought several times, but failed to knock down the enemy's tank circle.
The battalion commander slapped his head and led some soldiers to clear the enemies on the road first.
Xia Yuan took Xiao Heping and Zhou Mao, grabbed grenades, and wandered among the tanks on the road. He had experience in dealing with tanks before, and now he was even more comfortable in dealing with tanks.
He personally demonstrated to the two of them. He first put a grenade under the tracks of the enemy's tank. After the tracks were damaged by the grenade, he would lie on the ground and not move. He climbed onto the tank and reached out to pull the hatch on the tank, but it could not be opened.
, apparently it has been locked inside by US tank soldiers.
Then you need to use cluster grenades.
The cluster grenade is made simply by stuffing it under the tank, and with a bang, the tank emits billowing black smoke.
In addition to locally sourced cluster grenades, they also have explosive charges and blasting tubes, both of which are good tools for dealing with tanks.
"Peace, let's go and blow up the tanks."
It may not be possible to fight positional warfare, but bombing tanks and experiencing the previous bayonet battle made Zhou Mao and Xiao Heping a lot more courageous. They bundled the grenades on their bodies with food strips and carried them to the American soldiers who were lying on the ground in a car.
Next to the tank.
Xiao Heping climbed onto the tank and reached out to grab the hatch cover of the tank. Unexpectedly, with a little force, the hatch cover of the tank was actually opened by him.
A US tank soldier stretched out from inside and stabbed Xiao Heping with a bright bayonet.
Xiao Heping had quick eyesight and jumped down quickly. Zhou Mao here stuffed the cluster grenade under the belly of the tank. With a roar and the rolling darkness, Xiao Heping got up, hooked his ringing ears with his little finger, and watched.
Zhou Mao waved his hand in front of him.
After being temporarily deaf, he heard what Zhou Mao said.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
"Get up quickly, the battle here is almost over."
They had been making trouble on the highway for a long time, knocking out American trucks and blowing up enemy tanks. Only the American troops were left in the open field in front of them, making it impossible for them to start.
This U.S. military was also smart. They knew that the Volunteer Army did not have strong heavy firepower, so they used tanks and armored vehicles to build a circular defensive position in the open area. The strength of a battalion could not be filled at all. Xia Yuan shot from the outside, but only knocked out a few.
As time went by, both sides became quite tired.
The sky shimmered.
After daybreak, around eight or nine in the morning, the battle was still not over.
The two sides fell into a bitter battle.
Xia Yuan tried his best to get close to the enemy's position and tried to throw the grenade over, but it landed on the enemy tank. As black smoke floated into the sky, the enemy tank was unscathed, but they lost a lot of people.
At this time, the roar of aircraft engines came from the sky, and napalm bombs were dropped one after another on the volunteers in the valley.
As the napalm bomb fell on the ground, a heat wave swept across in an instant. The hot temperature dried the wet ground instantly, and sticky gasoline splashed around. The soldiers at the center of the explosion disappeared in an instant, and once they were
If the person is contaminated by gasoline, even rolling in place will not help. Instead, the gasoline will be spread all over the body, and the ground beneath him will be burning after rolling.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of gasoline, mixed with a weird smell of meat, and accompanied by piercing screams, startling many soldiers with fear in their eyes.
It was the first time for many soldiers to face napalm bombs. When they saw some soldiers were on fire and rolling on the ground in pain, the flames on their bodies not only did not decrease, but grew stronger and stronger, they wanted to go to the rescue.
When Xia Yuan saw this scene, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Don't go there, don't go there!"
Ge Huaixiang stared with scarlet eyes: "Why, why!"
"If napalm is splashed on your body, you will lose a piece of flesh, unless you jump directly into the water." Xia Yuan looked at the body that had burned into a black mass and had no human shape, lying motionless on the ground, the flames on his body
Still burning.
Just as he said, the soldiers rolling all over the ground sprinkled the gasoline on their bodies on the ground, and it burned instantly. Some soldiers covered it with soil, but it did not help. The flames directly penetrated the soil, and the other soldiers were frightened.
This flame is really so powerful.
They dare not imagine that once it touches a person, the whole person will be burned.
There was no way to rescue him, so he could only stare at the comrades he had been with day and night with red eyes and tears, and was burned into a pile of black bit by bit.
"Damn it, grandma!" the deputy platoon leader stared and said in a hoarse voice: "Class 2, follow me!"
"Thank you."
Ge Huaixiang could see that Xia Yuan knew something about the US military.
"You're welcome." Xia Yuan breathed out, smelling the pungent smell in the air, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
He had experienced the horror of napalm earlier. A little bit of it could burn a person to death, let alone cover it with such a thick layer. Anyone who went to save him would die.
"If I get infected with this thing in the future, remember to shoot me to death. I don't want to die in such pain." Zhou Mao said to Xiao Heping beside him, his eyes were full of fear, fear of the enemy's weapons.
What followed was hatred, hatred of the enemy.
The enemies in the open ground have not yet been eliminated. The sound of guns and artillery is incessant. US military aircraft are circling in the sky. In order to rescue the trapped US troops, they are constantly dropping napalm and bombs on the valley. A heat wave is sweeping across, covering the roads and open areas, billowing.
Black smoke rose up, covering the entire sky with a hazy glow.
Under the cover of artillery fire and tanks, the enemy infantry broke through again and again, but were repulsed by the warriors of the fourth company.
"We must not let the enemy escape from our fourth company!"
The instructor's slogan was shouted loudly and spread throughout the entire company's positions.
As long as they hold on, this American force will eventually be wiped out by them.
The third squad leader Lu Wenzhi stabbed three American soldiers to death with a bayonet. When he was surrounded by the enemy, he resolutely rushed to the enemy group, fired the grenade on his body, and died with the enemy.
Platoon leader Ge Huaixiang and deputy platoon leader Chang Shouguo were hit by shells fired from enemy tanks while holding their positions, and unfortunately died heroically. The fifth squad leader struggled with the enemy and bit the enemy's ear before dying.
The scalding heat wave covered the entire position. Many soldiers' cheeks were dark and red, and their skin was burned and cracked. They remained silent and stood firm.
As Xia Yuan's second platoon held the position, there were fewer and fewer people, and everyone was already red-eyed. He asked Zhou Mao and Xiao Heping to retreat first, but the two of them stiffened their necks and refused to retreat.
If they retreat, they will become deserters, and they will not retreat.
So many people died heroically on the battlefield and died together with the enemy. They saw it in their eyes and it was deeply shocked in their hearts.
They hope to stop the US military at their own expense.
If he retreats, then all the previous sacrifices will be in vain.
"Okay, you guys look to the left later, I can just keep an eye on this side."
"How about that? You're the only one."
"I can do it alone. You go to the left first. If you see that I can't stand it here, it will be the same when you come over."
Looking at the remaining soldiers on the battlefield, Zhou Mao and Xiao Heping nodded.
"The enemy is coming!"
Before the two of them could move, they heard the shouts of the soldiers next to them. They looked up and saw that the American troops in the open field had indeed run out again. They didn't want to give up and wanted to break out from here.
"Ready to fight!"
Xia Yuan shouted loudly, and before the enemy could get close, he pulled the trigger first. Eight bullets from the Garand rifle were fired continuously. Six of them hit the enemy, and the remaining two were dodged by the enemy. The bullets flew into the desolate field.
The open space disappeared.
boom!
The enemy tank aimed in Xia Yuan's direction and fired a shell.
Sensing an instant warning of danger, Xia Yuan put away his gun and ran away. The next second, a huge wave came from behind him, followed by a burning pain on his back. Xia Yuan also suffered a severe shock wave due to the explosion of the shell.
He fell hard to the ground.
"Comrade, you are injured."
There was a buzzing in his ears, his head was a little dizzy, and there was a burning pain behind him. Xia Yuan felt someone helping him up, and he calmed down. It was a young man about twenty years old, with dark cheeks and a pair of black and white eyes.
