Chapter 82 Snow hills under the wind and snow, torn holes
Kneeling forward, the cotton clothes on his body were soaked through and his whole body was cold. Xia Yuan pressed down on the bulging snow bag in front of him, and unexpectedly caught a layer of clothes that were stiff from the cold. He stretched out his hand to push it away and was stunned.
There was actually a stiff corpse buried in the snow bag. This was the corpse of a volunteer soldier. He was lying on his back. He peeled away the excess snow. This was a very young-looking soldier with his eyes closed and his face expressionless.
Covered with ice debris, his chest was full of blood holes, and the blood had solidified. Xia Yuan noticed that the soldier's ice-covered hand was still tightly holding a grenade with the cap unscrewed, and he tried to break it, because
Because the weather was too cold, or maybe because his grip was too tight, he couldn't break it off at all. No matter how hard he tried, he might be able to break it off with his fingers.
Xia Yuan gritted his teeth and crawled past the corpse.
After crawling for a while, there was no movement behind him. He turned around and saw Li Laicai and Zhu Weifeng lying on the body of the unknown soldier.
"What are you looking at? Let's go quickly!"
"oh."
The two of them quickly walked around the corpse and followed Xia Yuan.
As he groped forward for more than ten meters, more and more corpses appeared, buried by the wind and snow. When he reached out and touched them, the snowflakes fell, and the corpses of volunteer soldiers wearing shabby cotton clothes appeared. Some corpses were even blown up by artillery shells.
Broken limbs and broken arms were buried in the snow, and there were craters, broken shrapnel, and fallen bullet casings everywhere.
No one collected their bodies for them, so they were exposed to the ice and snow. As the wind and snow came, the snowflakes fell, forming small snow mounds. They looked extremely spectacular and heart-wrenching on this flat land.
Xia Yuan pursed his lips tightly and said nothing. He clenched his hands into fists and squeezed them tightly.
"So many corpses." Zhu Weifeng was crawling while groping in the snow with both hands. He found an arm that had been blown to pieces, leaving only half a palm. The wound was bloody and frostbitten by the wind and snow, and the palm was covered with calluses. This was
their warriors.
There were tears in his eyes as he watched, and he held back the tears, but his crawling movements became more determined.
After crawling forward for more than ten minutes, walking and stopping, avoiding the sight of the US military, they had reached under the nose of the US forward position. There were US soldiers on the left and right, and they could clearly hear the sound of their shooting.
"Zhu Weifeng, you stay in this pit and watch my grenade signal. After blowing up the enemy's firepower point, you rush up and quickly occupy this slope."
"good!"
Zhu Weifeng was the light machine gunner arranged by Wu Qianli. In addition to a light machine gun, he also carried a Sten submachine gun on his back. Xia Yuan asked Zhu Weifeng to stay in the crater. Looking ahead, he saw a raised slope.
The location is very good. The enemy has deployed a firepower point above, and the surrounding troops are relatively sparse. If it is captured, it will be equivalent to driving a nail into the enemy's forward position.
"Brother Laicai, let's continue to explore forward."
Xia Yuan carefully observed his surroundings, climbed out of the crater on his hands and knees, and continued to explore forward.
The closer they are to the forward position, the more advantageous they will be in the battle.
After advancing for about ten meters, the two came to a bomb crater. This position was the enemy's flank, and it was a weak point observed by Xia Yuan. If there were few people, they could touch it, but if there were more people, this position would be discovered.
It will become a dead place, because directly in front of this weak point is a huge open space, and the US heavy machine guns will sweep across it, and no one will survive.
Therefore, this position is not on the mark for the charge of the Volunteer Army soldiers. The locations chosen by the Volunteer Army to charge are mostly rolling mountainous terrain that serves as a bunker, which is conducive to their charge. The flat and broad terrain in front of them is definitely a good choice for the Volunteer Army soldiers.
Nightmare.
The offensive terrain that was a nightmare for the volunteers became the place where Xia Yuan broke through the enemy's position.
"Brother Laicai, you are in this crater. After Zhu Weifeng takes over Xiaotupo, the US military will definitely launch an attack on Xiaotupo. You can cover Zhu Weifeng here. Just fire the black gun. Don't expose yourself. Be careful. If
There are many enemies, so go and support Zhu Weifeng."
This position is located on the side of the small slope. Once you pull out the firepower point on the small slope and occupy the small slope with Zhu Weifeng, this position will be able to carry out a flank attack on the American troops rushing towards the small slope.
With such an arrangement, Xia Yuan naturally had a plan in mind. He would rely on the small slope in front of him as a gap in the local defense line.
"Okay, you should also pay attention to safety!"
Li Laicai huddled in the crater and reached out to grab Xia Yuan who was about to leave. Xia Yuan nodded: "Don't worry, it will take a hundred years before they want to kill me!"
After saying that, Xia Yuan rolled, hid in the crater in front, and continued to wait for the opportunity to roll forward.
Far away, Yu Congrong poked his head out, and with the help of the line of sight provided by the enemy's flares, he quickly said: "Company Commander, Xia Yuan and the others are taking action!"
Wu Qianli looked up, only to be hit hard by a string of bullets. "Yu Congrong, organize a row of soldiers to feign attack and attract the enemy's firepower. When Xia Yuan opens a hole, we will expand the scope of the hole!"
They were close to the enemy's forward position, but they could no longer advance forward. The 239th Regiment sent three waves of demolition teams, only destroying one of the enemy's firepower points. The artillery shells destroyed the enemy's fortifications on the forward position, but left bunkers behind.
A fierce battle is taking place.
The commander of the 239th Regiment was commanding the frontline operations from the rear. He kept looking at the time with an ugly expression: "Damn it, the enemy is trying their best. All the guys are used. What if we can't attack? Give up immediately."
The commando team went up and blew up their bunker for me!"
The regiment commander sighed: "Three groups of demolition teams have gone up. They only blew up an enemy bunker, and the others... were all sacrificed. They are great! The trenches dug by the enemy this time formed a defensive front that was far better than before.
We imagined several times that we would be stronger. On the 29th, we gave the US military a break to let them breathe."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yu Xingguo looked at the battlefield in the distance silently, pursed his lips tightly, frowned, and said nothing.
The casualties of the 239th Regiment were huge. The main attacking teams this time were the 241st Regiment of the 81st Division and the 240th Regiment of the 80th Division. The 238th Regiment and the 239th Regiment had been disabled and could not afford the main attack task.
Time is slipping away bit by bit, which is undoubtedly the most difficult thing for their commanders sitting in the rear. Almost every few minutes, they have to make phone calls to the front line to inquire about the combat situation on the front line.
"It hasn't been defeated yet? How is the situation over there with the 7th Interpenetrating Company? What, they are also suppressed by the enemy and cannot move, okay, I understand!" After the regiment commander made a phone call, his expression was a little sad.
In the dim cave, the atmosphere was somewhat solid.
The situation of the 239th Regiment was not much better. The leader of the 238th Regiment heard the casualties coming from the front. His hands were shaking slightly. He closed his eyes for a long time. When he opened his eyes, his eyes were filled with scarlet red.
bloodshot.
"How is the situation over there with the 239th Regiment?"
"The situation is the same with the 239th Regiment. It was repelled by several waves of charges. The US military relied on the favorable terrain. If our army wants to rush forward, it can only form batches of death squads. Otherwise... lack of heavy firepower
, unable to shake the enemy’s bunker.”
The air fell into a dead silence.
Two hours into the battle, casualties from various units gradually came through. The volunteers formed charge after charge. Every new breakthrough was accompanied by huge casualties. The troops responsible for the charge suffered the most serious casualties.
This is the case for the 238th and 239th Regiments.
The same was true for the 240th Regiment of the 80th Division and the 241st Regiment of the 81st Division, which were the main attackers from the eastern and western fronts. The enemy firepower they faced was more intense than that of the 238th and 239th Regiments. There were more than ten enemy armored vehicles alone.
, the violent gunfire is as gorgeous as fireworks blooming in the dark night, and in this splendor, it is always accompanied by the disappearance of blood and flesh.
The general offensive on the 30th day and night was an arduous tug-of-war.
The only thing worth waking up to is that the previous two battles have greatly eliminated the effective strength of the US military in Xinxing. This has greatly reduced the pressure on tonight, but it is still extremely difficult.
The commander of the 239th Regiment, Yu Xingguo, used a telescope to check the situation on the battlefield ahead. Every time he charged, the volunteer soldiers would always move forward despite suffering heavy casualties. This showed that the US military was also beginning to show weakness.
"This is a tough battle and a tug-of-war. It is a collision of flesh and blood. It depends on which side fails to hold on."
The battle lasted for more than two hours.
Xia Yuan lay steadily in the crater, waiting quietly, waiting for the opportunity. Every step he took, he had to wait for a long time. It was like dancing on the blade of death. Once he was discovered, there would be a plain behind him.
Any way out.
He had to be careful.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Xia Yuan saw the opportunity. He quickly jumped out of the crater and rushed to the crater ahead. Before the enemy could see the situation here, they were already lying in the crater in a curled up position.
The flares only illuminated a position, and the edge area was still dark. After making sure it was safe, Xia Yuan's whole back was covered in cold sweat.
The reason why he has to move so forward is because he will rush to the enemy's position later. Although he can pull out the enemy's firepower from a distance, if he pulls it out himself, the enemy will be able to occupy it again. It is best to treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
The way is to repel all the US troops here! Then use this as a point to spread to all directions.
Xia Yuan had already touched the enemy's forward position, and the enemy's nearest firepower point was only a few dozen meters away.
"That's almost it."
He looked at the distance, took a deep breath, stared at the side face of an American soldier, took out a grenade from the strap around his waist, fastened the lid, and threw the cord over, before throwing out the grenade.
In an instant, he quickly huddled up in the crater, resisting death and not showing up.
A grenade exploded in the distance. He didn't look up to see if it exploded, but from the stopped heavy machine gun, he could basically guess that it was a success.
"It's done! It's my turn!"
Zhu Weifeng was lying in the crater, watching this scene in his eyes, clenching his fist, directly placing the light machine gun on the bunker, pulling the trigger, and the bullets fired towards the small slope penetrated the bodies of several American soldiers.
"Fuck! The enemy has touched our faces!"
Before they could fully react, grenades fell from the sky one after another. The grenades exploded in the air, shattered shrapnel scattered everywhere, and bullets kept firing. Only then did Li Lai see the opportunity, and sniped quickly, powerful heavy
The firepower immediately stunned the U.S. troops on this high slope. Several of the top soldiers actually left the injured people behind and turned around and fled.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Weifeng rushed out of the bunker with a light machine gun and rushed towards the enemy's high slope.
After Xia Yuan threw seven or eight more grenades, he quickly squatted in the bunker, holding a large grenade, and pulled the trigger at the retreating US military figure. Bullets from the gun fired, and the eight soldiers fell to the ground.
When the bullet was empty, he lay down in the crater to plug the bullet, quickly rushed out of the bunker and ran towards the high slope.
"I'm going to get the heavy machine gun! You cover me."
Zhu Weifeng killed the American soldiers in the trench, met Xia Yuan, and shouted loudly.
The loss of the small slope position here attracted the attention of the US military from other directions. A series of intensive bullets were fired. One bullet hit Zhu Weifeng's abdomen, and he fell to the ground.
Xia Yuan bit into a grenade and threw it, and it landed accurately in the sky above the US military trench. It exploded in the air with a loud bang, smoke filled the air, and shrapnel flew everywhere. However, seeing that no US troops survived at the location hit by the grenade, he quickly
Asked: "How are you!?"
"No problem, even if you get bitten, you can still hold on. You cover me!"
Zhu Weifeng covered his abdomen with one hand and felt a slippery patch. He put it in front of his eyes and looked at it. His dark palm was wrapped in sticky blood with a smell of rust. Without too much hesitation, he raised his hand again.
At first, he reached out to grab the light machine gun, climbed up using both hands and feet, climbed over the enemy's bunker piled with sandbags, gasped, grabbed the enemy's heavy machine gun, wiped it, and looked at it carefully.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Still, it can still be used, it can still be used. Xia Yuan, Xia Yuan, I'll cover you!"
Xia Yuan searched a few grenades from the corpses of the American soldiers and put them in their helmets. He raised his head and shouted: "Hit the right side first, and Li Lai will watch your butt for you."
"Okay, I, I know."
The blood loss in his abdomen made Zhu Weifeng tremble all over, his face covered with ice slag. He tremblingly raised the machine gun and pulled the trigger. The bullets of the heavy machine gun were released desperately, and they collided with the firepower point of the US military on the right. He couldn't even treat the wound.
There was no time. Xia Yuan took the opportunity to circle around in the bunker, avoiding bullets while searching for all the grenades.
Arriving at the bunker on the right, Xia Yuan grabbed the grenade, pulled the ring and threw it out. The grenade accurately landed in the enemy's trench, rolled up a large amount of soil, and bloomed in the US military's trench.
Zhu Weifeng controlled the heavy machine gun, his face was pale, but his eyes were fixed on the forward position of the US military, sending bullets into their mouths one after another. The bullets from the heavy machine gun tore their body armor and tore apart their flesh and blood.
, leaving a patch of blood and severed limbs on the ground.
The grenades were thrown more than seventy meters away, exploding above the enemy's heads, and shattered shrapnel flew everywhere.
The American troops on the right wing could not withstand the heavy firepower of the two men and moved away from the right wing. In this way, a vacuum area was formed in front of the two men.
The soldiers of the 7th interleaving company who were in charge of attacking had just been beaten down. They could not withstand the enemy's heavy firepower. After throwing away the grenades on them, the only heavy firepower was gone, so they could only withdraw. Yu Congrong covered the retreat. Suddenly, he
His eyes narrowed and he shouted excitedly: "Company Commander, Company Commander, Xia Yuan and the others succeeded!"
Success!?
Wu Qianli and Mei Sheng quickly turned around and saw that on a small raised slope in the distance, only five or six meters high at most, the heavy machine gun turned its muzzle and drove back the American troops on their right side.
"Well done! Xia Yuan and the others successfully opened a gap. We can't sit idle. The enemy's firepower is still blocking our positions, but they won't be rampant for long. We need a certain amount of firepower reinforcements!"
The Seventh Company suffered heavy casualties, and the position in front of them was still suppressed by the US military. If another company could be reinforced, their chances of taking this forward position would be greatly increased.
When Wu Qianli retreated, he glanced at the small slope and said, "I hope they can hold on. If they can't hold on, they must hold on! Reinforcements will be here soon!"
Letting the Seventh Company go up was of little use. The Seventh Company also suffered heavy casualties. If they rushed up, they could only hold on to the slope.
The sound of gunfire, accompanied by artillery fire, spread across the valleys. The volunteers charged again and again, just like the waves on the beach, washing away the sandcastles built on the beach wave after wave, although they did not attack each time.
But every time you charge, you will occupy a new position.
At this time, the biggest trouble for the U.S. military was that a several-meter-high soil slope in the northwest corner was occupied by the volunteers. This was like a nail that was hammered into the entire U.S. military's defense line.
In the trench formed by the US military's rear position, a lieutenant was shouting: "FUCK! Call the artillery! Blow them up! We can't let them stay there!"
The U.S. military artillery position is located in the middle of Xinxingli. There are more than ten medium-sized artillery pieces and more than ten mortars. Some of the artillery pieces have their muzzles adjusted, and rounds of heavy artillery shells are stuffed into the barrels. With the sound of metal collisions, the barrels shrink.
, the soil on the ground suddenly trembled, artillery roared, and heavy artillery roared.
The shells landed on the slope, causing the eardrums to bulge, the scalp to feel numb, the ground shook, and the soil rolled down the slope.
"Zhu Weifeng, be careful!"
Xia Yuan was curled up and lying in the trench, his mouth wide open, covering his ears and shouting. His body was buried in the dirt rolled up by the heavy artillery.
The attack method of the American and Japanese troops was basically the same. They first bombarded with artillery, then charged with infantry. If they couldn't charge, they continued to bombard, and continued to charge, over and over again.
