There was no movement from the enemy's machine gun bunker. After a short period of waiting, the second platoon leader made a decisive decision, gestured, held his gun, and led the two soldiers to rush towards the enemy's position.
"Blow up the bunker! Even if it is a misfired bunker, blow it up!"
In his ears were the whistling of bullets and the roar of artillery shells. The second platoon commander had a hoarse voice and no expression on his dark face.
They are the closest to the enemy's bunker, about thirty meters away.
The enemy's bullets fired from the bushes in front. The shocked soldiers fell to the ground and quickly approached the position with a very fast crawling posture.
Xia Yuan's hidden position is very high, neither high nor low, and his line of sight can cover the enemy's positions and large areas of the battlefield.
He clearly saw the attacking figure of the second row of soldiers. After staring at the enemy bunker and confirming that no enemy was manipulating the machine gun, Xia Yuan decisively aimed at the light machine gun in the trench and pulled the trigger.
Whoosh, that bullet quickly approached the enemy's light machine gunner, and with a clang, the helmet was penetrated.
The deputy shooter on his side took over and was met with another bullet.
The two machine gunners were killed on the spot, and an American infantryman next to him was so frightened that he put away his rifle in a panic, retreated into the trench, and shouted tremblingly: "Sharpshooter, sharpshooter!"
"Damn it, stand up. Sharpshooters are not that scary. Go and report to the commander. Howling artillery support!" A veteran who had experienced the Pacific War ran over. The rain-soaked steel helmet was reflecting light under the weak light.
Their former enemies, the Japanese, also had sharpshooters, but they were still defeated by them.
The sharpshooter is not terrible, you just need to use artillery to blow him up.
"Go and pull the flare!" The veteran took a look and saw the dark shadow swaying in the mountains and forests, feeling his heart palpitating. Their commander originally wanted to use the sky as an advantage to fight against the enemy, but apparently this
This idea is stupid.
The lieutenant had just graduated from the military academy, and this was his first battle.
When the battle started, the veteran told the opponent to pull off the flares, but the lieutenant didn't listen at all.
He said: "Night is the enemy's camouflage, but it is also our camouflage. They can hide in the dark and sneak up on us, and we can also hide in the dark and sneak up on them!"
The truth is correct, but right now they are the defenders, and the darkness is not friendly to the defenders.
After a while, a flare was launched into the sky. With the help of the light of the flare, the veteran quickly looked forward, and saw in the pattering rain curtain, figures wearing shabby cotton coats with cotton-padded clothes draped backwards, and people wearing thick earthen hats.
The enemy is very close to them.
"The enemy is coming!"
Seeing the enemy's distance clearly shocked the group of American troops. The enemy group had a clear division of labor. Some were shooting for cover, while others were lying on the ground and crawling forward.
Less than twenty meters away from them, you can clearly see the dark mud on their faces.
"Damn it!" The veteran was a little frightened. He held the gun and pulled the trigger desperately. The bullet swished into the soil in front of him. An enemy was beaten so hard that he could not lift his head and could not move forward. This made him feel a little relieved.
comforted.
It seems that the enemy is not that scary. As long as their machine gun bunkers can rotate, they may be able to resist the enemy's attack.
Just as he was fantasizing in his mind, the sound of gunfire suddenly sounded from the flank, and the crackling sound amplified instantly.
"Fuck! The enemy is coming from the flank!"
There were panicked American troops running over from the flank, their tone was very panicked.
"Be careful!" the veteran shouted immediately when he saw him.
The next moment, a bullet pierced his brain, and his body hit the side wall of the trench hard.
Blood spattered on the side walls of the trench, mixed with mud and rainwater, and was invisible for a while.
"Sharpshooter!" The veteran's brows showed fear.
Before their artillery support arrived, the enemy's sharpshooters were able to dominate the battlefield. The most important thing was that they had not yet discovered the sharpshooters' position. The flares hanging in the sky provided a good light source for the sharpshooters.
At this moment, he deeply regretted not listening to the lieutenant's words.
He stood up, bent over and shuttled through the trenches, looking for the adjutant. This young adjutant had just graduated from the military academy. At this moment, he was leaning on the trench, looking distracted. The veteran asked loudly: "Where is Chief Jeff!"
"
"He, he's dead!" The adjutant pointed at the black shadow half-covered by mud and water, his words trembling.
"This... is over, completely over!"
The veteran squatted down and turned Chief Jeff's body over. His face was dark, but there was a clear round hole on his helmet with bright red blood stains on it.
His expression suddenly became desperate.
Bang bang bang, gunshots were heard from the position. He turned his head and looked into the distance, and saw that the enemy was coming up. He stood on the trench and jumped down. Gunshots were heard in the trench, and the front position was turned into a mess.
Listening to the broken English, the veteran understood that it meant "surrender without killing".
Three soldiers rushed in from the trench, holding guns and shouting at them. The veteran was desperate and held the rifle high with both hands.
Xia Yuan rushed out of the bushes with a gun in hand, strode towards the forward position, stepped on the raised mound of soil with his soles, jumped down, jumped into the trench, and quickly rushed towards the enemy's bunker.
Soldiers had already entered, and the second platoon leader immediately gave up his plan to blow up the bunker.
There are machine guns in the bunker. If the enemy's bunker is blown up, the machine gun inside will also be blown up.
The second platoon leader's idea was correct. When Xia Yuan arrived at the bunker, the second platoon leader had just emerged from the bunker with a delighted look on his face. When he saw Xia Yuan coming, he said happily: "Good boy, I was really serious before."
I underestimated you, I didn’t expect you to be so good at shooting."
Xia Yuan walked into the bunker and took a look. The two machine gunners in the bunker had round blood holes on their foreheads.
It wasn't that the enemy didn't want the machine gun to rotate, but Xia Yuan was staring at the fact that the machine gun in the machine gun bunker in their forward position couldn't rotate at all.
"Look at this precious baby bump, we actually captured it."
The construction of this machine gun bunker is relatively simple, with only one machine gun hole and one heavy machine gun.
The M1919A4 heavy machine gun was improved from the M1917. It was changed from air-cooled to air-cooled. The caliber has not changed. On both sides of the bunker, there are a large number of M1919A4 heavy machine gun bullets, and there are even a large number of bullets piled up.
On the ground, everything is wasted.
"Don't worry about it for now. Clean up the enemies on the battlefield. These things are all ours."
The second platoon leader was very happy. He had never fought such a rich battle.
The American devils are rich in supplies. Just one platoon has a heavy machine gun and so much ammunition.
The soldiers who rushed to the position were very happy. They cleared the American troops on the position, captured the prisoners, shot and killed them. Before they stopped, there was a sharp roar above their heads. When the second platoon leader heard it, it was broken.
, it’s for them.
Immediately shout: "Hide, hide quickly!"
However, the enemy's artillery shells rumbled and landed in the woods in front of the forward position.
When the second platoon commander was in a daze, Xia Yuan said something: "The US military must have called for artillery support, but the call was late."
"Yes, hahahaha, the American devils may not have thought that we have already knocked down their forward positions."
The second platoon leader was happy and shouted: "Quick, clean the battlefield!"
His voice was swallowed up by a huge roar in an instant. The mountains and the earth were shaking. The pitch pine tree trunks on the mountain were torn apart by the bombed tree trunks. Debris flew everywhere. The pattering rain curtain was rolled up by the shock wave of the shells. In an instant,
The bang was smashed to pieces.
After the enemy's shelling ended, the second platoon leader heard that the gunfire on the flank was not over yet, and immediately called the squad leader: "Quick, take your squad to fight on the flank. The battle on the flank is not over yet."
Xia Yuan volunteered: "Second Platoon Commander, I'll go with them."
"good!"
The second platoon leader nodded and called on the second and third squads to organize defense on the position.
After a while, Captain Sun came over with a platoon. He looked at the winding trenches on the position and immediately ordered the platoon leader: "Take your people and dig the trenches quickly. The second platoon leader is here."
"Here." The second platoon leader ran over.
"The enemy may counterattack at any time, so those who stop you immediately prepare to defend."
"Company commander, everything is organized."
The second platoon leader said.
"Very good, how is the situation of the third row on the flank?" Captain Sun asked again.
"The battle on the flank looks like it's over from the sound of gunfire. I just sent a group over for reinforcements, and Xia Yuan went with me," the second platoon leader said.
"Then I'll feel relieved."
Captain Sun nodded, wiped the water mist on his watch, and looked up at the sky again.
In the sky, I saw that the enemy's flares had been extinguished, like the falling sun. In an instant, the entire valley lost its light. The weather in the distance was shimmering, and I could clearly see the dark clouds on the left and right covering the sky.
.
"It's almost dawn, hurry up!" Captain Sun took off his sleeves and immediately shouted: "Second Platoon Commander, take your people and take down the hill. There are not many enemies on the hill."
"yes!"
There was no enemy counterattack for a long time, so Captain Sun immediately judged that the enemy troops on the hill were not strong enough, otherwise the enemy would have launched a counterattack against them long ago.
As for the belated bombardment, Captain Sun concluded: "The enemies on the main peak are in trouble, and they can't even take care of the hills on both sides."
Hearing the violent roar coming from the other side of the mountain and the sound of firecrackers that were denser than during the New Year, he could basically conclude that the enemy on the main peak of the frontal battlefield was in serious trouble.
Xia Yuan ran over from a distance: "Company Commander, the battle on the flank is basically over."
"I heard from the second platoon leader that you did a good job. Go get ready and attack the hill immediately."
Captain Sun said immediately.
Xia Yuan raised his head and glanced at the ridge in the distance. About three to four hundred meters away, the enemy's main hill position was in that area. There were mountain roads opened by the enemy along the way to connect the two positions.
They were located in the middle of the hill. A mountain road connected the main front position. They could vaguely see the US troops shaking on the mountain road. When they zoomed in with an eagle's eye, they saw that they were really a group of US troops. They were about one card worth of troops, two hundred meters away from them.
Mi's position suddenly held firm and he began to retreat to the rear.
Obviously these American troops were not fools. After the shelling stopped and they heard no gunshots from the front, they realized that the position on the mountainside had fallen.
"Quick, let's go!"
Xia Yuan saw the second platoon leader gathering his team in the distance and was about to go over when Xiao Heping and Zhou Mao caught up from behind.
"Company commander, let us follow Xia Yuan."
"Yes, we have nothing to do if we stay at the rear. When we go to the front, we can help Xia Yuan keep an eye on the surroundings."
Xiao Heping and Zhou Mao planned to form a combat team with Xia Yuan, but Xia Yuan happened to be alone. Captain Sun thought for a moment and turned to look at Xia Yuan, "Since they said so..."
"Let them follow." Xia Yuan smiled and gestured to the two of them to follow.
"Thank you, company commander."
The two of them were immediately overjoyed and quickly followed Xia Yuan's footsteps.
"Xia Yuan, I just heard from other soldiers that you killed several American Japs. How many did you kill?" Xiao Heping couldn't help but ask.
They knew that Xia Yuan's marksmanship was very powerful. If such a powerful person came to the battlefield, wouldn't he be able to kill many enemies?
"I don't remember."
"What, I don't remember." Xiao Heping was shocked: "Xia Yuan, you have to remember how many enemies you killed every time you fought, so that when the battle is over, you can tell the company commander that when the war is over,
But merit must be evaluated.”
"He Heping is right, this is all due to his credit." Zhou Mao agreed from the side.
"I don't care about these credits. As long as I can win this war, it doesn't matter whether I get credit or not." Xia Yuanyun said calmly.
This made the two of them admire Xia Yuan. They thought about themselves. In addition to defending their home and country, they came to North Korea just to perform meritorious service and glorify their ancestors.
"In this way, we will keep it in mind for you in the future." Zhou Mao thought for a while and said.
"Anything is fine."
Xia Yuan glanced ahead and said, "Let's go, follow them."
"Xia Yuan, how will we fight later?"
The two of them followed Xia Yuan and helped him keep an eye on his surroundings.
"You will be responsible for long-range fire cover later. You are not needed for the charge. The second platoon leader and others will lead the charge forward." Xia Yuan thought for a moment. With his shooting ability, there is no need to charge forward. If the second platoon leader
When the platoon really couldn't be defeated, he decided to move forward.
As for the two of them, it actually doesn't matter whether they follow him or not. It won't affect him, and it won't bring much change to the battle situation.
Soon, the second platoon was less than a hundred meters away from the hill. In the sky over the enemy's position, one after another flares were launched into the sky.
When the enemy discovered the figure of the second platoon, the machine gun fire points set up on the left and right sides of the position swept out two long and narrow ballistic paths in an instant, forming cross fire and blocking the way forward for the second platoon. The soldiers of the second platoon quickly
Climb down on the ground and shoot at the enemy from where you are.
"Quick, third squad leader, I'm calling for you to blow up the bunker on the left, and the machine gunner will be responsible for covering it."
The two light machine guns in the second row fired at the enemy's firepower point on the left, but with the bunker as cover, the bullets from the light machine guns fired at them, but were blocked by the enemy's bunker.
The third squad's demolition team was composed of three soldiers. The three figures charged forward with determination under the enemy's intensive firepower.
