The main position of the first battalion was also attacked by an enemy battalion.
Unlike the main peak, the 1st Battalion basically suffered no major losses in the previous battles, and was replenished with weapons and ammunition. The firepower was particularly fierce. As soon as the enemy rushed up, Xia Yuan and his men took the lead in firing the first shot.
The bullets pierced through the field commander in the enemy group, and they saw that the enemy seemed to have exploded.
Xia Yuan ignored them and aimed at the enemies at the foot of the mountain, shooting one after another.
Before these Li puppet troops could rush up, they were attacked head-on by the Chinese defenders on the position. Listening to the sound of gunfire, it seemed that only one person had fired, but the strange thing was that their casualties were much greater than ever before.
.
At this moment, someone in the team shouted that their commander was dead.
Some people turned their heads and saw their commander lying straight on the ground with a round bullet hole on his forehead and four red blood stains on his cheeks. The expressions on their faces suddenly changed.
The supervising team behind them began to angrily scold them again, and even fired. Although it only hit the ground, it still made people feel frightened.
Attacking is death, retreating is also death.
But at least if they attack and capture the enemy's position, they will still be rewarded and may even survive.
But if you run away, you will definitely not survive.
After a brief period of fear, everyone kept their heads down and continued to attack the top of the mountain. The death of their commander changed their mentality, but in order to survive, they could only bite the bullet and launch an attack on the Chinese position on the top of the mountain.
"These enemies were forced to attack us by their supervising team." Xiao Heping looked at it and had a panoramic view of the situation on the enemy's side.
"So their military morale is not as good as ours. I think we can definitely win this battle." Zhou Mao lay on the other side of Xia Yuan with a firm tone.
The enemy is so divided internally, and even the attack needs to supervise the team. Isn't it no different from the reactionaries they fought before?
In the past, their opponents, the reactionary soldiers, also relied on the supervising team behind them. Without the supervising team, their soldiers would have fled long ago.
The enemy's current state is no different from the original reactionaries. They have no combat effectiveness and no plan for attacking. They just rely on their numerical superiority to attack them.
This is what Li Puppet Army looks like now.
Unlike them, three combat units form a combat unit, and three combat units form a combat group.
It would be incredible if the three battle groups were combined together.
This is why four companies and five companies, two companies with only two to three hundred people, can cover the main peak position. One squad can form a battle group and stick to the same position, and it is even more incredible if they are lined up together.
Let alone a company.
On the hill where the Third Company is stationed, a single platoon can hold the left-wing position, and the enemy cannot attack it no matter how hard it fights.
At this moment, the enemy was launching an attack on the Third Company's position. Xia Yuan kept firing on the enemy's offensive path. This was the right given to him by the Third Company Commander. After all, Xia Yuan's shooting level was well known.
The best way to maximize his role is to give him the right to shoot in advance.
As for exposure, in this situation of holding on to their position, their position has been exposed, but the enemy's troop and firepower configuration is not yet clear.
Xia Yuan shot in advance and would not reveal too much information.
Moreover, Xia Yuan himself knew that the position where he fired would reveal the positions of other soldiers, so he chose a forward position.
As a result, the enemy rushed forward, and he quickly retreated with Xiao Heping and Zhou Mao. When the enemy arrived at this position, they were cautious, but they rushed forward without even seeing a single figure.
When I ran to the first row of positions, Platoon Leader Xu was lying in the trench. When he saw Xia Yuan and the others retreating, he asked hurriedly: "How is it? How many were killed?"
"More than twenty, but a lot of them were injured," Xia Yuan said.
"Awesome, if our soldiers had as good marksmanship as you, the enemy wouldn't even be able to charge forward." Platoon Leader Xu said with a smile.
Now that he has seen more, he is actually not as surprised as he was at first. After all, last night, Xia Yuan completed a task that was almost impossible for everyone.
The enemy's offensive was fierce. On the undulating slopes, there were enemies crawling on the ground everywhere. They used bunkers to shoot at the volunteer positions, throw grenades, and cover other attacking soldiers.
"Put it closer and then hit!"
Platoon leader Xu stared at the approaching enemy in the distance and told the soldiers to calm down.
The soldiers were also experienced warriors. They held the grenades tightly and waited to bring the enemy soldiers closer before attacking.
Xia Yuan took Xiao Heping and Zhou Mao to touch the flank. Halfway through, they couldn't touch anymore. There was no good position in front, so they could only stay here. Xiao Heping and Zhou Mao took off all the grenades they carried.
Placed next to Xia Yuan, four Garand rifles were equipped with ammunition.
Ta-ta-ta!
The enemy approached the position, placed the heavy machine gun at a well-positioned shooting point, and began to suppress the volunteer position.
At this moment, the enemy at the front had already approached. When approaching the forward position, Platoon Leader Xu took the lead in throwing grenades and shouted: "Hit!"
The soldiers opened the safety of the grenade and threw it out with all their strength. The grenade landed in the enemy group and exploded. With the explosion, the enemies crawled to the ground one after another, and a fierce battle began.
Xia Yuan grabbed the grenade and threw it out with all his strength. He first knocked out the enemy's machine gun fire points, and then threw out grenades one after another, blasting the enemies who rushed to the forward position into a rout. In just a short while, the enemies who rushed up were killed.
More than half of the way, the enemies in the rear were cowering in shock, looking terrified.
This damn girl had killed so many people before they even hit the Chinese positions. If they charged up, they would all die too.
The grenade thrown by Xia Yuan exploded in mid-air. Even Li Puppet Army lying on the ground was of no avail. Many people were injured by the broken shrapnel, and more people died from the shrapnel splashed after the grenade exploded.
Down.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After fighting for a while, everyone was surprised to find that the enemy no longer attacked. They all huddled thirty meters away and shot randomly.
"What's going on with these enemies? They've only been fighting for a while and they won't attack anymore."
"Xia Yuan's bombing was so powerful that he blew up all the places we couldn't hit with his grenades."
"Good job, hahahaha!"
The soldiers on the frontline were laughing and discussing.
This kind of battle is too easy.
Xiao Heping ran over to get the grenade. Hearing everyone's conversation, he said: "Look, we won't let them stay for thirty meters."
"Have you finished throwing away the grenades?" When everyone saw Xiao Heping coming, they all took out the grenades on their bodies.
"After throwing it away, the enemies who were blown up didn't dare to charge anymore." Xiao Heping said with a smile.
"Tell Xia Yuan, he eats meat and leaves some soup for all of us to drink." A soldier lay on the trench and turned to Xiao Heping.
"You have to rely on your own ability to eat meat. We can't persuade you." Xiao Heping put away the grenade, bent down and ran away quickly.
Everyone laughed.
With Xia Yuan around, it was much easier for them to hold on to their positions. After fighting for so long, except for one soldier who was injured by the enemy's shells, no one was injured by the enemy. The attacking enemy was forcibly killed.
Xia Yuan was completely suppressed by himself.
Xiao Heping was right, the enemy couldn't even stay thirty meters away.
With the addition of grenades, Xia Yuan opened up his firepower and threw out grenades one by one. He relied on his own strength to form a minefield above the enemy's head. All the soldiers looked at the enemy in shock.
A grenade exploded, and everyone was stunned.
Xia Yuan's grenades were thrown far, steadily, and accurately. He threw several grenades in succession and blew the enemy away.
Platoon leader Xu put away his gun, looked at the enemies who were running away like crazy, and said, "Fortunately, Xia Yuan is on our side. If it were on the enemy's side, we probably wouldn't be able to defend it."
Everyone agreed in their hearts with what Platoon Leader Xu said.
The enemy came and went quickly. The soldiers repelled a wave of ferocious enemy attacks in such a short period of time. Everyone's fighting enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high. In addition, Xia Yuan was watching from the position.
Everyone holds the belief that they must win.
After attacking for so many days, the enemy suffered more losses on the flanking hills than on the main peak. This enemy seemed to have discovered that the combat effectiveness of the defenders on the flanking hills was far beyond their imagination, especially as they continued to attack
After attacking for several days, they discovered that the casualties caused by the enemies on the flanks were actually higher than the casualties caused by the enemies on the main peak.
Their station was attacked by the enemy last night. Not only were the vehicle fuel supplies blown up by the enemy, but a large amount of supplies were also lost, which was enough to make the commander of the Li Puppet Army very anxious.
Although they were given reinforcements from the rear, the fact that the station was attacked by the enemy could not be covered up. Early this morning, he was severely criticized by his superiors and told him that if he could not capture Feihu Mountain today, he would be asked to pack up his bunks.
Get lost.
For this reason, early this morning, he deployed a large number of troops to attack Feihu Mountain, and called for long-range artillery support from the US Air Force and the rear. He even assured the US military that Feihu Mountain would be captured today.
However, what made him feel even worse was the news that the troops responsible for attacking the left flank position of the main peak of Feihu Mountain had suffered huge casualties.
Before he could think of how to deal with the enemy on the flanks, bad news came from the main peak. The enemy's firepower suddenly became very powerful. They organized two battalions of troops and fought three times in a row, but failed to destroy the enemy's position.
Beat it down.
Upon receiving this news, the commander of Li's Puppet Army was furious: "Didn't you say that the Chinese on the mountain did not have enough ammunition? Why did their firepower suddenly become so fierce today! Neither battalion has taken down the position. What are the intelligence agencies doing?"
!?"
Others in the command headquarters didn't dare to say anything. Everyone could see that this man was angry.
In fact, yesterday evening, when the soldiers in charge of the frontline offensive came back, they were discussing the lack of ammunition for the Chinese on the mountain. This was also confirmed by the battlefield commander. I believe that with backup, they can take down the Feihushan position today.
Come down.
This is almost a sure thing.
Who would have thought that after one night, the enemy's firepower suddenly became fierce again.
This makes people wonder, could it be that the enemy's logistics supplies have arrived?
As for the reason why the volunteer army's firepower became fierce, they still have not figured out, let alone imagined that the large amount of supplies lost in their station were actually taken away by the enemy.
The battle at Feihushan was not over. Commander Li and the Puppet Army wanted to capture the Feihushan position no matter what. After the first round of attack, he did not stop for a few minutes before calling in the powerful US air force and long-range artillery reinforcements.
, and sent additional troops, along with the extension of artillery fire, to launch an attack on the enemy's position.
Volunteer soldiers have never fought any kind of difficult battles in China before. It is just that the battle in North Korea is much harder than that in China. However, the will of the soldiers has already overcome the hardships and is like a nail, rooted on the ridge of Feihu Mountain.
Just after the enemy's reinforcements arrived, a new round of fierce fighting in Feihu Mountain began again.
At this time, the Volunteer Army Headquarters had already planned a new campaign and given the 38th Army new combat tasks. Several army chiefs were studying how to fight next. The deputy commanders of the 112th Division and the 113th Division arrived.
When I arrived at the military headquarters, I met Comrade Liang.
Seeing that the chief had a sullen face and looked very unhappy, he hesitated and didn't know what to say. However, Comrade Liang saw them coming and said, "What are you doing here?"
The 112th Division and the 113th Division are responsible for holding on to the front line and withstanding the pressure, but now they always feel that being passively beaten is not a good thing, not to mention being passively beaten and unable to take the initiative to attack, their food and ammunition consumption is extremely high.
The number of troops increased, and the logistics could not be delivered. Both divisions were short of food and ammunition.
The policy of using war to support war is to take the initiative, win the battle, and seize supplies. Only then can we use war to support war.
But the problem is that they are passively beaten and cannot support war with war.
Troops are being depleted, ammunition reserves are being depleted, and this battle is really frustrating.
The two of them felt that it would be better to attack with two divisions and capture Junyu-ri.
Looking at Comrade Liang now, he was not very happy and didn't know what to say. Li Zhongxin, deputy commander of the 112th Division, smiled and said: "Comrade Jiang asked us to report..."
Comrade Jiang is the deputy commander of the 38th Army. But before he finished speaking, Comrade Liang waved his hand and interrupted: "No fight!"
The two of them were stunned for a moment, and before they understood what was going on, Comrade Liang continued: "Retreat thirty kilometers!"
"ah!?"
Now both of them were anxious.
This battle has been going on for so long. They stayed on the front line to buy time for the deployment of troops in the rear. Just because one day a new combat mission was issued, they led their people to take Junyuli directly. Now they suddenly heard that they were retreating.
The news of thirty kilometers made me a little dumbfounded for a while.
The reason why we have been fighting for so long is not to seize important positions on the front line and prevent the enemy from advancing northward.
If we don't fight now, wouldn't it be that the position we held was in vain? Wouldn't it be that those soldiers who sacrificed their lives were sacrificed in vain?
The two of them had questions in their minds, but seeing that Comrade Liang was not in a good mood, they could only suppress their questions in their hearts and hurried back to the division headquarters.
