The enemy at the moment is a U.S. military division in the true sense. Looking around, there are dozens of tanks in the mighty team. The machine gun muzzles on the armored vehicles are black holes, and the cars are lined up in a long queue. At a glance,
No end in sight.
With such an overwhelming crowd of enemies, it was inevitable that the two of them would become nervous.
Xia Yuan comforted them.
He has experienced many battles, large and small, but this is the first time he has faced such a blocking battle.
There was a swarm of American troops only a few hundred meters away from them.
The enemy came in force, and the company commander's order came down. There was a short and rapid whistle, and the sharp sound pierced the sky.
The fatigue caused by marching for several nights disappeared in an instant. The soldiers prepared their weapons and stared at the enemy closely.
The position of the fourth platoon and the third squad was the most prominent part of the entire position. The fourth platoon also stood firm in the most important area. Machine gunner Yang Wenming had already aimed at the first car. When the car turned and slowed down, the distance was only twenty or thirty.
A few meters away, Yang Wenming pulled the trigger and fired a round of bullets. The bullets hit the fuel tank and the first car burst into flames.
The third squad leader, Zhao Songzhu, led five soldiers onto the road. A string of grenades blew up the cars behind him. Soldiers with rocket launchers approached the tanks and hit the enemy's first tank.
The soldiers responsible for the blast blew up a second tank. In an instant, the entire road was blocked by bombed-out cars and tanks.
In order to seize a way to escape south, the enemy began a desperate struggle. At the beginning, under the cover of eight tanks, more than ten cannons and eight aircraft, they launched a crazy attack on the unknown high ground to the north of Shutang Station.
At this moment, the cadres in the regiment command post heard the gunshots and walked out of the regiment headquarters. They saw the flames shimmering on the north mountain of Shutang Station shrouded in gunpowder. Planes in the sky dropped bombs and dived towards it one after another. The rumbling sound was like the waves on the seaside.
, the waves spread outward.
It seemed that the 1st Battalion had not long since set off when it engaged the enemy. Calculating the time, there was no time to build bunkers and fortifications. He felt anxious for the soldiers without fortifications to rely on. He turned on the walkie-talkie and wanted to ask about the situation of the 1st Battalion, but nothing happened.
Unable to contact.
Unable to figure out what was going on, the headphones were filled with the noise of "ok" and "ho". When the troops were hindered, U.S. military commanders called each other for support, cursed and complained to each other, like dogs biting dogs.
This phone was seized from the enemy and can receive the enemy's voice.
But at this moment, the walkie-talkie was in chaos.
He put down his earphones and had no choice but to run to the high ground near the regimental command and observe with a telescope. He saw groups of enemies in the direction of Songgu Peak and the meritorious third company position. He quickly ordered the second battalion commander to set up a crane gun from this direction.
Shoot at the enemy.
The heavy machine gun has a long range, and with the mountains and wild crows overwhelming the enemy, it is easy for the bullets to drift over and hit the enemy.
As soon as the Second Battalion opened fire, some enemies were attracted to deal with the Second Battalion. In this way, the pressure on the Third Company was reduced.
The commander of the 1st Battalion, Feng Yuxiang, was also anxious about the 3rd Company. He contacted the regiment several times but could not get through. When he turned on the walkie-talkie, there was also the loud voice of the US military commander. The voice contained both ferocious howls and despair.
He couldn't hear anything clearly.
He had no choice but to drop the walkie-talkie and run towards the third company.
Correspondent Xiao Liu quickly grabbed Feng Yuxiang: "Batalion Commander, the enemy's artillery fire is too fierce. Don't go there. It's too dangerous. Leave the task to me and I'll go."
"Hurry up and notify the Third Company, spread out and hide, and respond calmly. I will ask the First Company and the Second Company to support them."
"yes!"
Correspondent Xiao Liu turned around and got into the flying artillery fire. He was determined to pass the battalion commander's order to the third company.
The position occupied by the Third Company was a bare hill next to the highway without any fortifications to rely on. It was not easy to block thousands of enemies under the heavy fire of the enemy.
This small hill was just over a hundred meters away from the enemy. It was not high and the mountain was bare. The crater where the enemy had fallen was warm, but it provided a bunker for the soldiers. They lay down in the impact point and shot at the enemy.
The machine gun team dug bunkers under fierce enemy shelling.
The fourth platoon, as the most prominent front line, withstood the enemy's crazy attack.
Xia Yuan abandoned the big eight bullets and switched to a light machine gun. Wherever there were many enemies, he pointed the muzzle of the gun at that place and fired a barrage of bullets, making the enemies scream.
The enemy's first wave of attacks was repulsed. Everyone thought they could have some breathing time to dig fortifications. But before the enemy could even move down, another wave of indiscriminate bombardment arrived.
Xia Yuan's cheeks were dark, and the shells fell on the ground. The deafening roar spread, and the eardrums were shaken up. The shock wave spread, sweeping over the clothes on his body, and the air waves that came even slightly closer could knock people over.
Black and white gunpowder smoke rolled up dust at the place where the explosion occurred, and rose into the sky in a mighty manner.
The enemy seemed to be going crazy and unleashed artillery shells, bombs, gasoline bombs, and incendiary bombs on this inconspicuous slope without any money.
The battlefield was a sea of fire, burning the earth and rocks red, and there was almost no room for soldiers on the bare hills.
A gasoline bomb exploded not far away from Xia Yuan, and the overwhelming heat wave spread with a huge shock wave. The spreading black smoke suddenly enveloped them all, making it so dark that they could not see the distance.
The wind blew, blowing the gunpowder smoke in one direction, and the enemy's attacking figures were visible with blurred vision.
"The enemy is coming!"
Their slope is very close to the road, and their forward position is only more than thirty meters away from the road. As soon as the enemy appears, they will be right in front of them.
Xia Yuan mounted a light machine gun and fired at the enemy group. He rubbed his red eyes, which were smoked, and kept blinking.
"Comrades, hold on, it won't be easy for us, and neither will the enemy. Perseverance is victory!"
In order to appease the emotions of his comrades, he shouted loudly next to the roaring fire. The hot flames burned people's skin and stung.
The soldiers encouraged each other: "Look, platoon leader, you can't go on like this. We must persist until the end no matter what!"
While the fire was burning, the enemy swarmed towards their position. The soldiers' eyes were burning and they shouted anxiously: "Come up, come up!"
They aimed at the enemy one after another and pulled the trigger. Some soldiers threw grenades and hit the enemy hard.
With the sound explosion, this wave of attacking enemies were suppressed by them.
Xia Yuan threw the light machine gun to Zhou Mao and took Xiao Heping around the positions of the three squads to check their fighting conditions. Among them, the third squad suffered the most casualties. They were in charge of the forward positions and had previously blown up several enemy tanks and cars.
, which made this group of American devils hold a grudge. During the attack, they used artillery fire to blow up the Third Squadron's position on the edge of the highway.
Fortunately, the soldiers of the third squadron were quite tenacious, and Zhao Songzhu was also a capable, brave and resourceful general. He knew that their position was not covered by any bunkers, and the enemy tanks and cars they blew up could provide them with bunkers.
.
During the enemy's shelling, he led the whole squad of soldiers onto the road and hid behind the wreckage of tanks and cars to avoid the enemy's shelling.
The enemy's shelling is very similar to the Japanese's shelling. The only difference is that the degree of shelling between the two sides is not at the same level. It is obvious that the US military's shelling firepower is particularly powerful, and their equipment is even more luxurious than that of the volunteers.
The imagination of soldiers.
When Zhao Songzhu noticed that the enemy's artillery fire was spreading backwards or being reduced, he realized that the enemy's infantry might be coming, and immediately asked the soldiers to enter the position.
After the enemy's shelling, they left various impact points. The soil in the impact points was soft, and with a few shovels with a shovel, a bunker could be formed.
The soldiers lay down in the enemy's impact point and shot at the enemy.
The enemy's offensive was quite fierce. Ben was beaten up by the 40th Army in the direction of Junyuli. He learned that Sansuoli and Longyuanli were blocked by volunteers. The fall of Junyuli made this group of American soldiers feel even more...
Adding insult to injury.
They were eager to reach Sansuoli and Longyuanli to investigate the current situation. If they were intercepted by the volunteers, they might all die at the hands of the volunteers.
Who would have thought that when they were about to arrive at Longyuanli, they would suddenly be attacked by a group of enemies.
The commander of the US military immediately realized that there may be a large number of volunteers in this area. They have already reached here. Will the situation in the direction of Longyuanli be good?
Thinking of this, everyone was frightened into confusion.
Under the desperate situation, the commander of the US military also burst out with strong will. With the idea of escape no matter what, he simply gave it a try.
On the unnamed high ground just to the north of Shutang Station, the enemy dropped a large number of artillery shells, bombs, incendiary bombs, and gasoline bombs, and sent multiple aircraft to carry out intensive bombing on the hilltop.
Xia Yuan arrived at the third squad. Although the third squad did not suffer many casualties in the artillery fire, the enemy's intensive attacks caused their position to change hands many times. The third squad leader Zhao Songzhu organized many counterattacks and firmly controlled this position.
in hand.
He observed the position and said, "It is too close to the highway and the geographical location is not ideal."
But I feel that the existence of this position is necessary. The fourth platoon is the front line of the third company, and the third squad is the front line of the fourth platoon. The existence of this position is to block the enemy's attack and consume the enemy's active strength.
exist.
The lines of defense formed increase the difficulty of the enemy's attack.
"Platoon commander, do we need to retreat?"
"We can't retreat. There isn't much room behind us. Let your people spread out a little to avoid causing greater casualties in the enemy's artillery fire." Xia Yuan stared at the road, thinking about a way. After much deliberation, he found that there was nothing he could do.
This US military division has gone crazy. With a squad of more than a dozen people, what tactics can they use to deal with the crazy US military?
Fortunately, these American troops were not so mad that a whole division swarmed in, and every battalion of the 335th Regiment was doing their best to help relieve the pressure on the 3rd Company.
The geographical location of the nameless highland to the north of Shutang Station is too important. It is equivalent to a prominent position. If the enemy wants to pass Songgu Peak, the first goal is to tear apart the defense line of the third company.
Xia Yuan decided to stay in the forward position and assist the third squad leader in defending the front line. Although he did not know what kind of offensive the enemy would take next, he decided to make plans in advance.
His eyes were on the road, which was flat and wide and only about thirty meters away from the slope. When the enemy attacked, he could clearly see the expression on the enemy's face.
"Now take your men onto the road and avoid enemy shelling."
Xia Yuan's thoughts coincided with Zhao Songzhu's.
The enemy was repulsed, and ferocious shelling fell on the unknown high ground again.
Xia Yuan could not take care of the situation of the whole platoon of soldiers. He came over from the first squad and during the interval of the enemy's retreat, he notified the squad leaders to seize the time to dig trenches and avoid bomb craters.
They are the front line of the whole company. It is not ideal to dig bomb shelters on the reverse slope. Moreover, the terrain of such a small hillside and the reverse slope is relatively gentle. If the enemy's infantry and artillery cooperate and the artillery fire spreads to the rear, they can still threaten them.
Even blocking them from entering the position.
Once the position is occupied by the enemy, the enemy's troops can take advantage of the gap in the time when the position is occupied by the enemy to pass quickly.
Without tactics, we can only fight hard.
Hiding behind the tank, I listened to the deafening roar coming from behind, and even the enemy fighter planes in the sky could not be seen clearly due to the smoke that covered the sky.
Xia Yuan's eyes were heavy. This battle would most likely destroy the Third Company's organization.
The Battle of Songgu Peak, the most brutal battle.
Even he must be prepared to sacrifice.
"Platoon leader, are you injured?" Xiao Heping then noticed that Xia Yuan's palms had been burned with blood and flesh by the fire, and a layer of skin had fallen off.
"It's okay."
Xia Yuan shook his head. His physical fitness was relatively strong, and the skin on his palms was burned and cracked, but it was nothing.
The most important thing right now is to deal with the enemy.
When the artillery fire spread to the rear again and the enemy infantry pressed forward, Xia Yuan asked Zhao Songzhu to lead the men back to the position. He took the light machine gun from Xiao Heping's arms, held it in his hands, and camouflaged himself with the enemy's corpse.
The enemy's infantry came diagonally and attacked the third squadron's position, and the battle was about to break out.
"Xiao Heping, throw the grenade and I'll cover you!"
The enemy's back was suddenly exposed, and the soldiers behind them were stationed densely. Only when they rushed closer to the front would their soldiers disperse. This gave Xiao Heping a chance. He had a lot of grenades on him.
After receiving Xia Yuan's order, Xiao Heping took off the grenade without thinking and threw it towards the enemy group with all his strength.
Xia Yuan's eyes moved slightly, and when he saw the grenade flying past, he used a light machine gun and began to fire at the enemy side. The enemy suddenly appeared from behind the tank wreckage, frightening the group of American troops to lie down in panic and shoot. Those who were hit by him
U.S. soldiers fell to the ground, and those who had not yet been hit either ran back or hid to the side.
It happened to hit the position of the grenade thrown by Xiao Heping. The grenade fell to the ground with white smoke coming out of the end.
"Fuck!"
The group of U.S. troops were shocked, cursed angrily, and exploded with a bang, killing four or five U.S. troops on the spot.
"Use enemy grenades!"
Xiao Heping couldn't tell which of the enemy's grenades was offensive and which was defensive, so he could only take them off at random and throw them at the enemy.
