Xia Yuan knew that Xing Yutang's dream was to join the party.
He had participated in Shangganling, and there were many soldiers on the front line who joined the party. Considering the fierce enemy offensive during the day, he planned to let Xing Yutang join the party in advance.
But I didn't expect that the enemy's offensive would come so quickly.
It was very cold and there was white frost on the ground.
The remaining warmth of the day dissipated, leaving only a bone-chilling chill. Under the guidance of Xia Yuan, Xing Yutang wrote the party application. He borrowed a pencil stub and a piece of crumpled paper from instructor Hu.
He raised his head and asked: "Platoon leader, are you a party member?"
Xia Yuan shook his head.
In fact, when he was in Shangganling, he was already on the verge of joining the party.
Xing Yutang didn't say anything anymore. The platoon leader had accomplished so many merits and it was estimated that he would be able to join the party after the battle.
However, this application for joining the party was only half written when the enemy's bombardment came without any warning, tearing apart the shimmering sky and crashing onto the unknown high ground. The deafening roar followed the air waves and swept across the place at any time.
covered the entire position.
Xing Yutang hurriedly held the half-written application for party membership in his arms and huddled in the trench dug in advance.
They were scattered on the forward positions.
The enemy's shelling was quite violent.
Xiao Heping said jokingly: "This is the enemy telling us to get up."
Zhou Mao pursed his lips, held the gun in his arms, and the soil above his head kept falling.
Phew, an enemy fighter plane flew by in the sky, and a napalm bomb exploded on the position. A roaring heat wave swept along with the terrifying air wave. The frost that fell on the ground disappeared in an instant, turned into mist, and was evaporated again.
The heat wave was rolling, warming the cold faces of several people.
Zhou Mao said with emotion: "It's so warm."
Xiao Heping nodded.
The enemy's shelling continued, and waves of air continued to rush into the trenches. The trenches, which were originally half a man deep, were almost filled with soil, and most of their bodies were buried in the soil.
To a certain extent, it withstood enemy bombardment.
The awakening bombardment lasted for about ten minutes, and the enemy launched an attack on their position.
Xing Yutang neatly folded the application for party membership and put it into his coat pocket.
I saw several soldiers running over from behind, this was their reinforcement.
Xia Yuan made simple arrangements, and everyone entered the position and waited quietly.
The enemy's artillery fire did not stop completely, but spread to the rear.
They are relatively close to the highway and are the fastest to get there.
The enemy came very quickly, and they knew that the volunteers here were very close to the road. Their machine gunners set up light and heavy machine guns on the ruins of tanks and cars on the road, aimed their guns upward, and pulled the trigger.
Bullets disappeared into the thick smoke like raindrops, and the infantry covering the attack pressed towards the forward position.
Xia Yuan used the sound to identify the position and determined the direction of the enemy's machine gun. However, the enemy's smoke blocked his sight and he could not shoot the enemy's machine gun. He could only shoot with a rifle to suppress the enemy's heavy machine gun, but the effect was very small.
micro.
Seeing that the shot was useless, Xia Yuan picked up the grenade and threw it out. He judged the direction of the enemy's machine gun, but the specific location could not be judged. He could only control the intensity and cover the road completely first. There would always be blind cats running into it.
When the mouse dies.
The number of troops on the position was replenished, and the attacking enemy also suffered.
The seventh grenade was thrown out, and the enemy's heavy machine gun suddenly stopped. Xia Yuan's face showed joy, and he knocked out the enemy's heavy machine gun.
However, the enemy's infantry rushed forward, and gunshots mingled in the air above the position.
Xiao Heping killed an American soldier, with a happy smile on his face: "Zhou Mao, I killed another one, hahaha."
Zhou Mao expressed disdain, saying that he had already killed three American devils.
He didn't show off to Xiao Heping either. He stared at the shaking figures of the American troops in the smoke, aimed and pulled the trigger. After the gunshot, the enemy fell down.
"Hahaha, hit another one."
Zhou Mao was very happy.
The advantage of being in a forward position is that you can kill more enemies.
Their high ground is actually a small hillside with no cover. When enemies rush up, they can only lie down on the ground if they want to avoid their bullets.
The noisy battlefield environment is filled with stray bullets, gunpowder smoke and the strong and pungent smell of incendiary bombs. The sharp whistling of flying stray bullets makes the already complex battlefield environment even more unbearable.
The soldiers tensed their hearts, watching the enemy's attacking figure, and opened fire freely.
The enemy pressed quickly, had sufficient troops, and was quite close to the defense line built by Squad Three. There was no need to move the enemy closer before attacking. We suppressed, destroyed, and blocked the enemy as much as possible.
"There are more and more enemies."
"They're coming up!"
The position was quite noisy and filled with smoke. Except for the small group of soldiers who could see each other clearly, those further away could not. Fortunately, the enemy's artillery stopped firing and the infantry began to press up the mountain.
Their voices could barely be heard clearly.
The entire defense line was dozens of meters wide, and the enemy was pressing forward. The enemy's figure was swaying in the smoke, and they were only more than ten meters away from the position.
The soldiers counterattacked very vigorously, but without machine guns, they could not effectively suppress the enemy. They could only use rifles higher than the enemy to aim at the enemy group and continuously fire in an attempt to build a fire network with the rifle.
There are not many grenades left. After yesterday's day of fighting, their ammunition was not replenished. They were all taken from the enemy's corpses. The number of grenades left by the enemy was very small. There were not many left, so they were distributed to everyone.
Just a few grenades.
Company Commander Sun said last night that the regiment headquarters would provide them with supplies, but it would take time.
It is estimated that the ammunition will be delivered today.
At present, the enemy's offensive is fierce, and Xia Yuan's ammunition is consumed rapidly, but the enemy's casualties are also increasing. More and more enemies are falling. Their soldiers are obviously unable to attack, and the resistance is getting weaker and weaker, even more than ten meters away from the position.
By that time, he had given up the attack and started to lie down on the ground and shoot towards the mountain.
Xia Yuan could clearly hear the U.S. commander's call to attack, but the effect was minimal. Under the huge casualties, the fighting will of the U.S. soldiers was basically destroyed. It was almost impossible for them to organize an effective attack.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Use grenades to blow them away!"
Xia Yuan decided to add fuel to the fire and shouted to Xiao Heping and Zhou Mao. The two of them were beside him, responsible for fire support and cover. When necessary, they would hand over their ammunition to Xia Yuan.
After hearing the platoon leader's order, Xiao Heping held the grenade, pulled out the safety, and threw it out with all his strength.
The power of the grenade is quite impressive, much more powerful than the grenades newly produced in New China, and its lethality is quite good.
However, the number of grenades is not large. During the attack, US soldiers will also use a large number of grenades to suppress the enemies who block them. Therefore, the number of grenades seized from the enemies is not large.
At this moment, the enemy's attack was weak and the number of grenades thrown dropped sharply. Xia Yuan clearly realized that it was time to counterattack.
Immediately ordered the soldiers to throw grenades to suppress the enemy.
The command was passed to each combat group, and grenades were thrown down one by one. The enemy obviously began to panic. Xia Yuan was passing the impact point and approaching the enemy at close range. The exploding grenade attracted the enemy's attention and did not notice Xia Yuan's approach.
The enemy already had the idea of retreating, but because their commander insisted on ordering the soldiers to attack the volunteers on the mountain, and there was a supervisory team behind them, they could only resist, but few were willing to continue running forward.
They were scattered at the impact point, or simply lying on the ground, using the corpses left behind by the dead soldiers in front to take cover.
Xia Yuan looked at the enemy's posture, and it was obvious that he wanted to retreat. He had already reached within ten meters of the enemy. The smoke filled the battlefield and had not dissipated, but the enemy's figure was clearly visible.
He could clearly hear the timid voices of some American soldiers.
Xia Yuan also had a few grenades on his body, which could effectively kill the enemy, but he chose the rifle carefully.
The grenade can eliminate a large number of enemies, but all he has to do is to repel this wave of enemy attacks. His eyes sweep over and accurately lock the figure of the field commander in the enemy group, the military uniforms worn by the opponent and the military uniforms worn by the surrounding soldiers.
Different, and the weapon he used was a pistol.
"Found you."
The eagle's eyes will be obscured by the thick smoke, and he can barely see a blurry figure. Xia Yuan needs to get closer to the enemy to observe.
The situation of the others was even worse. Xia Yuan couldn't see clearly, and they couldn't see clearly either. Only when some American troops walked up to their faces did they suddenly become alert.
However, U.S. soldiers will also be hindered.
Fortunately, the battle had lasted for so long, and the smoke from the position had dispersed a lot, and only the napalm bombs were still emitting black smoke.
Xia Yuan held the gun in his hand and aimed at the enemy in front of him. The US military commander shrank back again.
At this moment, his ears twitched, and an American soldier ran up from the side. The American soldier saw Xia Yuan lying on the ground, but due to the smoke and the fact that Xia Yuan lying on the ground was very close to them,
He thought it was a dead American soldier, so he didn't take it seriously and kept touching it.
Bang!
Xia Yuan reacted very decisively. When he heard the noise and saw the helmet on the opponent's head, he immediately pulled the trigger.
Gunshots were fired and people fell to the ground.
The American troops opposite Xia Yuan were so frightened that they huddled up in a ball and fired forward in a panic. The bullets didn't even know where they flew.
Several American soldiers took off their grenades and threw them over. Fortunately, they heard the sound and direction of the gunfire, but Xia Yuan's gunfire was very small because it was a certain distance from their position, and it was thrown farther away.
An explosion exploded behind Xia Yuan.
Seeing that his position was exposed, Xia Yuan simply threw out several grenades on his body. He controlled the explosion range of the grenades to the entire third squadron's defense line, effectively suppressing the enemy.
One of the grenades landed at the location where the enemy field commander disappeared.
It is unclear whether the enemy commander was killed, but one thing is clear: the enemy is about to retreat.
This wave of grenades undoubtedly blew away the enemy's last life-saving straw, and the US troops in the rear began to retreat.
The enemy's figure was exposed. Xia Yuan opened his bow from left to right, picked up the submachine gun on his body and fired once, and then continued to shoot at the enemy with Garand.
The enemy dropped a large number of corpses and began to retreat.
"Quickly, clean up the battlefield!"
Xia Yuan emerged from the bunker. A lot of good things fell from the enemy's corpse. He first changed a rifle. The Garand on him had been used for a long time, and its accuracy dropped a lot.
"Platoon leader, you are so powerful. You have repelled this enemy attack again." Xiao Heping carried ammunition on his body with a smile on his dark face.
"Okay, stop flattering me, this is all thanks to everyone." Xia Yuan laughed and scolded, stood up and shouted: "Xing Yutang, how much have you written in your party application?"
"Platoon leader, I'm almost finished writing. I think when the battle is over, I can submit the application for party membership to the instructor." Xing Yutang ran over and said very happily.
"Okay, kill more foreign devils. When the time comes, you will not only join the party, but also have military exploits, and you won't be able to marry a beautiful wife when you go home." Xia Yuan said with a smile.
"Platoon leader, you are so young and you already know how to get a wife." A soldier from another platoon said with a smile.
"Our platoon leader is as big as a kid and knows a lot of things."
"Ha ha ha ha."
"Okay, hurry up and clean the battlefield. The enemy's shells may fall soon."
Xia Yuan laughed and cursed, and put the guns back on his back.
Seeing that the trenches they had dug had now become "drainage ditches", they cursed the Americans in their hearts and called Xiao Heping and Zhou Mao to dig bunkers.
The smoke from the battlefield has not yet dissipated, and a gray, oppressive, and thick atmosphere has swept over the entire battlefield.
There were corpses and broken limbs everywhere.
Having often participated in battles, he has become numb to these things. "This time, instead of digging trenches, it would be a waste of time. Just dig some single-person bomb shelters, one carrot at a time, and it is easier to avoid enemy artillery fire."
The soil on the ground had been blasted by the enemy's artillery shells and was very loose. When you shovel it down, you can insert the entire shovel into the soil.
The single-person bomb shelter was dug halfway, and the enemy attacked again.
But this time, they heard the roar of tanks. Everyone tensed up and waited quietly. When the enemy's artillery fire began to extend to the rear, they heard the sound of enemy tanks.
Previously, there were car wrecks on the road as a cover, so the enemy tanks could not get up, but now it seems that the enemy may not have cleared all the obstacles on the road, and this time the tanks and infantry cooperated and came based on their position.
Xia Yuan looked at the enemy's posture and realized that this position might really be knocked down by the enemy.
"I just don't know how many tanks are coming!"
The enemy's artillery fire extended back and did not stop. The deafening roar almost deafened them. The sound of the tank was very subtle. Even if he used the sound to identify its position, it was quite blurry.
Unable to judge the number of enemy tanks, Xia Yuan tensed his body, tore off the bandages he was about to wrap, wrapped the grenades seized from the enemy into a ball, got out of the single-person bomb shelter, and moved closer to the front.
Their position was very close to the road, and the enemy infantry came up quickly, along with three tanks, forming a three-way attack.
Xia Yuan was loading corpses in a bomb shelter, but the enemy did not notice him. Moreover, the enemy's infantry were all behind the tanks. The enemy's tanks opened the way and were tilted upward, so the line of sight was obstructed to a certain extent.
