The machine gun fired, and a barrage of bullets was fired at the enemy, knocking down some of them, and the rest turned around and ran away.
Chen Ji never let go of this group of enemies. He jumped out of the fortifications with a light machine gun in hand and fired fiercely with the machine gun, driving the enemies away.
On this day, Chen Ji alone killed more than fifty enemies, accounting for nearly half of the total number of enemies wiped out by the entire company.
They stayed in the courtyard for seven days and nights, and then began to move.
Although other troops holding their positions had little contact with the enemy, they all experienced a very difficult time.
It was freezing cold, and the soldiers squatted on the mountaintop day and night. Many of them had their feet damaged by the frostbite, and it was very difficult to eat. They often could not get a hot meal for several days.
The troops of the 341st Regiment defending in Zengshan had very little food or drink for several days, and in the end they had to drink urine.
Such hard days will be unforgettable for the soldiers who participated in the war.
On November 7, the volunteers on the Eastern Front voluntarily abandoned Huangcaoling.
On the 8th, the Western Front Volunteer Army took the initiative to withdraw from Feihushan, Tokugawa and other places, continuing to confuse the enemy and make the enemy mistakenly believe that the Chinese Volunteer Army "cowardly retreated" and "is not a force that cannot be regretted". They proudly thought that this was what they thought.
The "air campaign" launched was victorious, forcing the volunteers supporting the rear to "not enter the battlefield."
On November 9, MacArthur proudly boasted to the generals in Washington that he could 'prevent reinforcements with sufficient strength from crossing the Yalu River', that he 'blocked the battle and cut off the enemy's supplies and reinforcements', and arrogantly
He declared that he would launch an all-out attack and end the Korean War soon.
The behavior of the volunteers indeed confused all enemies.
Looking at the current Korean battlefield, the strength of the first batch of volunteers entering North Korea to fight is still unknown. In the eyes of the US military, it is three divisions.
In the first battle, Yunshan was defeated. They believed that the Chinese appeared suddenly and they were not prepared for the precautions, so that the Chinese took the lead. Fortunately, they stabilized the front line and started a series of measures.
.
On the western front, various ministries began to launch fierce attacks on the Chinese positions in an attempt to seize the lost positions.
On the Eastern Front, the Eastern Front battlefield was opened and the Chinese were forced to fight with them on the Eastern Front.
In the sky, aircraft carriers dispatched long-range bombers to blow up the Yalu River Bridge and cut off the enemy's reinforcement routes.
At the airport, send the air force to fly behind the enemy and bomb the enemy's supply lines.
On the ground, large numbers of mechanized troops were deployed on the battlefield.
The three divisions of Chinese were unable to cope with this battle. After persisting for several days, they finally "could not withstand the fierce attack of the United Nations troops and began to shrink and retreat across the board"!
This is huge good news for the United Nations military.
MacArthur was ambitious and firmly believed that this was the best time to end the Korean War.
However.
In terms of volunteers.
The vanguard of the Ninth Corps secretly entered North Korea on November 1, heading to the Eastern Front to separate and encircle the 1st Marine Division that was aggressively attacking on the Eastern Front.
On the Western Front.
The first batch of troops entering North Korea amounted to 260,000. MacArthur miscalculated the strength of the Volunteer Army and mistakenly believed that the Volunteer Army only had three divisions.
This is because the Volunteer Army is inferior in equipment and artillery. Even if a corps has the strength, its firepower is almost equivalent to that of a division.
The frontline commanders made careful observations before judging the enemy's strength through the enemy's firepower configuration, and then reported the information to MacAs.
In fact, the number of volunteers on the Western Front reached a terrifying 260,000 people.
Shrinking the defense line was just Shiji's ecstasy for MacArthur. It was to make the United Nations troops think that their plan worked, and our troops could not bear the pressure and began to retreat.
"Jiang Taigong is fishing, and those who wish will take the bait!"
Showing weakness to the enemy and luring the enemy deeper is a tactic that leads the enemy to penetrate the enemy's territory. This is the art of commanding the battle while not allowing the enemy to see through.
The soldiers did not understand at first, but the orders from their superiors must be carried out. Everyone remained silent. Even if they did not understand, they did not say anything and resolutely carried out the orders issued by their superiors.
Several leaders in the army studied and decided to mainly use the 335th Regiment of the 112th Division to take on the task of luring the enemy deeper.
The 335th Regiment is an old friend of the enemy. It has been holding on at Feihu Mountain for a long enough time. With the strength of one regiment, it resisted a division of the enemy and puppet troops. The crazy attack of the US Army's first unit could be heard every day.
There was a huge roar and shells whizzing past from the direction of Hushan.
It is most appropriate for the 335th Regiment to be tasked with luring the enemy deeper.
Of course, other troops also maintained contact with the enemy at their original positions.
Eight days.
The weather is getting colder.
The 335th Regiment was ordered to move, and late that night they moved to the front line of Kowloon Station behind Feihu Mountain, where they continued to set up defenses and lure the enemy deeper.
At this moment, the regiment leader Fan Tianen finally understood the reason why his superiors did this, and asked them to retreat, but they did not retreat completely. It seemed that they retreated intentionally or unintentionally, and waited for the enemy during the retreat.
He recalled that at the beginning of the battle, the enemy launched a pincer-shaped offensive and occupied Yunshan. This was simply a natural way to intersect and block the enemy, cut off the enemy's retreat, and divide the encircled hunting ground.
Now, if they are allowed to stop and go, maybe it is not to lure the enemy, let the enemy chase them, and wait for the enemy's front to lengthen, it will be the same as in the first battle.
Thinking of this, Fan Tianen became very motivated and began to order the troops below to set up a defense line.
Fan Tianen first made a little joke to the enemy. There was an unnamed highland to the east of Kowloon Station. It had an important position, but it was too isolated and flat on all sides, making it difficult to increase troops. He thought that the attacking enemy would definitely pay attention to it.
This hilltop.
Therefore, the trump card of the three companies and one platoon was ordered to be stationed on the hilltop. When the enemy came up, he repelled the enemy's first charge and quickly withdrew from the position.
This can not only reduce your own casualties, effectively kill the enemy, but also prolong the time of contact with the enemy.
As expected, the enemy realized the importance of this unknown highland as soon as they arrived, and immediately arranged their troops to prepare to attack the unknown highlands.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After experiencing the Feihu Mountain battle, platoon leader Xu was very fond of Xia Yuan's combat capabilities, especially when their superiors gave them a platoon of empty space at will.
Platoon leader Xu happily said to Xia Yuan:
"This time you come and lead a platoon to fight, and I will be your deputy platoon leader."
Xia Yuan was stunned: "Platoon leader, how can this be done?"
"Why not? Lao Han also agrees."
Lao Han is the deputy platoon leader and has no objections to this at all.
Xia Yuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
A row of more than 20 people came to the unknown highland and looked around. They saw rugged rocks and overgrown weeds. In areas where the sun could not reach, there were still snow that had not yet melted.
A soldier shoveled the ground with a shovel and grinned: "It's so hard."
Everyone got started one after another. There were too many rocks on the mountain, making it difficult to dig bunkers. It took two or three hours to dig a curved trench.
However, considering the orders from their superiors, they were only required to block a wave of enemy attacks here and then withdraw from the position immediately.
The only requirement is to hit the enemy hard and kill as many enemies as possible.
It seems that it was this order that led to the Third Company getting this mission.
After all, the current Third Company is the ace company of the 335th Regiment.
Therefore, this trench was dug crookedly and could barely be used.
What's more, there are a lot of rocks here, which is very suitable for using as a bunker, arranging machine gunners, and arranging flank blocking forces. The next step is to wait for the enemy to come up.
Xia Yuan is still cooperating with Zhou Mao and Xiao Heping. The two are now more and more aware. Wherever Xia Yuan goes, the two of them follow him. They are completely Xia Yuan's followers. The company commander also acquiesces to the two.
This behavior even gave two people the right to resupply ammunition to the three platoons in the company anytime and anywhere.
Nowadays, Xia Yuan's combat capability is so powerful that the number of enemies killed by a single soldier accounts for more than half of the enemies killed by the entire company, almost reaching the peak of killing enemies by a single soldier.
It's something no one can imagine.
If he is given enough weapons and ammunition, will he kill more enemies?
Everyone is looking forward to it, but they all know that it is almost impossible to have endless ammunition.
The only thing that worked was to send two soldiers with enough ammunition to fight with Xia Yuan and provide him with supplies at any time.
A row of soldiers have entered the combat site, and they are scattered in groups of three on this unknown highland.
The cold wind was blowing, and they were marching in the light snow. Their clothes were originally wet, but after the cold wind blew, they were so hard that they could cut people's skin. The soldiers lay on the rocks, rubbed their hands, and breathed in the white mist.
, looking intently at the rugged mountain with strange rocks.
It took several hours to dig trenches, and another hour of waiting, but no sign of the enemy was seen.
At this moment, the soldier in charge of the reconnaissance ran up from the bottom of the mountain. Without taking a breath, he reported to the platoon leader: "Platoon leader, the enemy is coming!"
"It's so slow. Tell the soldiers to calm down!"
"yes!"
Not long after, the enemy's attack arrived.
Although it was said to be an attack, it was not really an attack. After all, the enemy did not even carry out the bombing work on the hilltop. He led his men straight up and rushed towards the mountain.
Everyone didn't understand what the enemy meant, so they just came straight at them, completely ignoring them.
This time, Xia Yuan did not shoot at the enemy during their attack. What they wanted to do was to eliminate the enemy's effective forces as much as possible. And the most critical point was that the enemy did not shell the hilltop, but charged directly towards the hilltop.
come over.
This shows that the enemy believes that there are no enemies on this mountain, which is why they rush towards this mountain with great arrogance.
Perhaps it was because they thought that the volunteers could not withstand the pressure and began to retreat across the board.
"I'll give them a big surprise later."
Xia Yuan muttered and asked Xiao Heping and Zhou Mao to remove all the grenades on their bodies.
But I saw densely packed, wasp-like enemies running towards the top of the mountain along the not-so-steep location.
Standing in a long line, isn't it no different from giving away someone's head?
The machine gunner looked at it with a toothy grin. He would give these puppet soldiers a good drink later.
At this time, this group of Li puppet troops did not realize the seriousness of the problem, and some even walked up the mountain talking and laughing.
"The Chinese have escaped, and the Americans said they want us to fight to the Yalu River. Oh, they are asking us to open a road."
"I didn't see any enemies along the way. I'm afraid they may have disappeared."
"The Chinese are cunning, that's what the Japanese say."
"I really hope this war can end soon, so many people have died."
They raised their heads and saw that the top of the mountain was right in front of them. Thinking that the war could be ended as soon as possible, everyone worked hard to climb up the mountain.
Capture this hilltop and cover the advance of the troops in the rear, so that they can be stationed in the rear.
No need to go to the front line.
What a wonderful thing.
The dark clouds that hung over everyone's heads a few days ago also dissipated at this moment. They were afraid of death, and staying behind was the best choice.
However, just when everyone was looking forward to the beautiful things in the future where they would not have to go to the front line, there was a roar that stunned everyone.
On the top of the mountain, grenades came over and landed among them. In an instant, there was a buzzing in the ears, and his body seemed to be hit hard by something. He felt a damp heat on his stomach. Li Puppet Army stretched out his hand and touched it.
With blurred vision, I saw a bright red color on my palm.
"ah!!"
The shrill screams were instantly swallowed up by the loud explosion.
This enemy group was not prepared at all, and the battle formation did not disperse. They were hit hard by a series of grenades, causing a large number of casualties.
The machine gunner raised his machine gun and fired at the enemy group. Those enemies who had not yet reacted were hit by bullets one after another, and their bodies went limp and lay on the ground.
The battle is about to break out.
The fighting spirit of a row of soldiers was overwhelming, and grenades and bullets kept pouring at the enemy.
Xia Yuan held the big eight pills and pulled the trigger continuously. Not one of the Li puppet troops who appeared in his sight could leave intact.
After all eight bullets were fired, he casually threw them to Xiao Heping. He grabbed the grenade next to him, pulled the safety cover, and threw it out without counting.
The grenade drew an arc in mid-air. When it landed on the enemy's head, it exploded with a bang. Smoke floated into the sky, and shrapnel flew everywhere. Li Puppet Army lying on the ground was not spared, and his body was penetrated.
The smell of blood wafted in the air along with the smoke.
At this moment, no matter whether they were lying in the front and still alive, or the Li puppet troops lying in ambush in the rear, they all looked frightened.
The enemies at the bottom of the mountain looked away when they heard the explosion on the mountain.
They thought to themselves, damn the Chinese for not retreating and still resisting.
Commander Li Puppet Army heard the explosion, his face turned aside, and he quickly began to study the map, and found that they had arrived at the front line of Kowloon Station behind Feihu Mountain.
"Perhaps the Chinese at Kowloon Station have not retreated yet. This is blocking our progress. Order, take this hilltop and march towards Kowloon Station!"
"yes!"
The commander of Li's puppet army made a judgment based on the map.
There is also information provided by the US military.
The news from the US military is absolutely accurate. The Chinese could not withstand the pressure of logistics, and reinforcements could not arrive, so they began to retreat. This was only a small blocking force and was not something to be afraid of.
