Chapter 97: Retreating US troops, hidden dangers (please order)
As the volunteers in the southeast stopped attacking, the news was passed to the headquarters. Lieutenant Colonel Ashan was furious, "Fuck! We were fooled! Their real target is our headquarters! Order the troops to withdraw immediately and stick to the headquarters.
!”
"Yes, sir!"
The 7th Interleaving Company blew up the US artillery position and quickly retreated to the rear. Wu Qianli shouted: "Retreat, retreat!"
"Company Commander Wu, our men are about to attack the enemy's headquarters! Wait a minute!"
Wu Qianli said: "Don't wait any longer. Retreat immediately. Don't be reluctant to fight. Don't forget that we still have our second platoon in the southeast. We need to cooperate!"
The artillery position was blown up by them. It doesn't matter if the command headquarters doesn't destroy it. If they didn't destroy it this time, they can destroy it next time.
"Yes! Retreat immediately!"
The retreat whistle sounded, and the men of the Ninth Company and the Seventh Company quickly retreated to the rear, fighting as they walked. At the same time, the Pinghe sniper squad on the high slope saw the Seventh Interleaving Company and the Ninth Company begin to retreat. After killing several American soldiers,
I also started to get off the bus from the mountain to the mountain.
They retreated very quickly. After the U.S. reinforcements arrived, they only left behind a messy artillery position and a large number of artillery corpses. There were no traces of the enemy anywhere.
The rear of the U.S. military encountered a sneak attack, the artillery position was bombed, and the enemy had already attacked the front of the headquarters. Lieutenant Colonel Ashan, who was blocked by the volunteers, was extremely angry, as if he had been bitten by a weak insect. Without the artillery
The enemy's figure disappeared from the position, and his rage was just incompetent rage.
And this is just the beginning.
On the U.S. side, the southeast and headquarters were attacked, especially the artillery positions. The mortars were captured by the volunteers and the cannons were blown up, causing the U.S. military to lose the artillery positions. The Ninth Company almost attacked the headquarters, and a soldier responsible for protecting the headquarters
The platoon suffered heavy losses.
The two companies have returned to defend the headquarters to prevent the large volunteers from launching another attack on the headquarters. At the same time, one platoon is left in the south and north of the bridge to guard the Shuimen Bridge. The remaining wounded soldiers have been brought back to the headquarters.
training.
A platoon south of the Watergate Bridge stayed to reinforce the defenses, especially the heavy machine gun firepower points. Previous battles had caused heavy losses to the US military's firepower points, and the searchlight equipment had also been damaged.
In the darkness, Xia Yuan led the remaining combat team to the southeast again. He quickly issued a combat order: "This time we change our strategy and charge hard, but we must also pay attention to our own safety. Leave the enemy's firepower to me.
Once the U.S. military reinforcements reached one company, we quickly changed our fighting style, and after ten minutes of standing still, we began to retreat to the rear!"
"This time the US military has no artillery and only tanks. As long as we are in a low-lying area, their tanks cannot hit us. Hold for ten minutes. When you hear my voice, don't be reluctant to fight and retreat quickly! Do you understand?
"
"clear!"
Xia Yuan nodded heavily: "Okay, let's set off now!"
"yes!"
The remaining seven fighting groups that still had combat effectiveness quickly dispersed and quietly hid behind the bunker, waiting for Xia Yuan's attack order. At the same time, the 7th Interleaving Company and the 9th Company, which had retreated to the rear, were also waiting for Xia Yuan's attack.
Order.
The action plan remains unchanged, attack in the southeast and attack in the northwest.
If the US military resolutely sticks to the headquarters, the battle in the northwest will turn into a feint. The battle will stop ten minutes after the feint. This repeats twice, paralyzing the US military, and the attack and defense will switch in the second half of the night.
To put it bluntly, it is a psychological game played.
But unfortunately, plans always develop in another direction.
To the southeast, Xia Yuan came to the previous sniper position. The last battle did not expose his sniper position. This time the US military reinforcements returned to the defense headquarters. There were not many US troops left on the bridge. Three tanks plus
The strength of a platoon belongs to the south of the bridge and cannot be observed from the north of the bridge. Most of the U.S. military's firepower arrangements in the north of the bridge are on high mountains.
The deployment of troops in the north and south of the bridge will not differ much.
Xia Yuan reasoned in his mind.
Although the previous battles resulted in serious losses for the Volunteer Army, the losses for the US Army were even more serious than those for the Volunteer Army. Not to mention those killed in action, the number of wounded alone was close to the strength of a platoon. These wounded would seriously drag down the US Army on the Watergate Bridge.
"With the strength of one platoon and three tanks, the U.S. military's strength on the Watergate Bridge is just a tank battalion. There are not many people capable of fighting. Maybe tonight's bridge bombing mission will go more smoothly!"
Xia Yuan took a breath of cold air, rubbed his palms, reached out to wipe off the fog on his watch, and looked at the time, "It's almost done."
Wiping the snowflakes off the gun, Xia Yuan aimed at the American soldier carrying the ammunition box on the bridge, and gently pulled the trigger. The gun sounded, and the bullet penetrated the body of the big soldier. The American soldier carrying the weapon and ammunition had a body like
It was as if he had been struck by a whip, and he fell heavily to the ground. The box containing the ammunition clattered to the ground.
The reaction speed of another American soldier was also fast enough. When he saw his companion being shot and killed, he shouted in horror, "Fcuk!! The enemy is here again!" He rolled and crawled into the bunker, and the American soldiers south of the bridge suddenly
The child was alerted, and bullets continued to hit the American troops who did not hide in the bunkers.
"Shit! It's a sniper! Where's our sniper!"
"Dead!"
"Fuck?"
Xia Yuan fired, which was the order to attack. Wu Wenxiang shouted: "Hit!" Several combat groups quickly fired at the US military fortifications, and the groups covered each other's advance.
Xia Yuan from the rear kept shooting at the American machine gunners, and several fire points were silenced for five minutes. Without the enemy's artillery bombardment, the American troops in the south of Qiao didn't even dare to risk their lives, and could only rely on the American tanks.
Conduct a covering bombardment.
But the U.S. military was from a commanding position. This kind of artillery bombardment either hit the ravine or hit the surrounding bunkers, and was unable to bomb the charging volunteers at all.
The most critical point is that the heavy firepower of the US military cannot be activated, and the entire firepower point is suppressed by Xia Yuan.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The US military hiding in the bunker cursed and could only throw grenades out of the bunker one after another. They even raised their weapons and shot at the foot of the mountain indiscriminately. As for
You don't know whether it hit or not.
At the U.S. military headquarters, Lieutenant Colonel Ashan has received news that Qiaonan is under attack by volunteers again. There is even an enemy sniper suppressing the bulk of the soldiers. Heavy firepower cannot be activated. Qiaonan is on the verge of being lost. Lieutenant Colonel Ashan
Looking at the map, he frowned and asked the adjutant beside him: "Where do you think the cunning enemy's attack target is this time?"
The adjutant said: "Watergate Bridge and headquarters."
"Fuck! Of course I know it's the Watergate Bridge and the headquarters!" Lieutenant Colonel Ashan yelled: "I'm asking you where the enemy will attack this time! We lost the artillery position, which means we lost an effective
The only way to attack the enemy is to wait until dawn, but look at our current situation, we must be able to hold on until dawn!"
Lieutenant Colonel Ashan's artillery battalion has just arrived at Watergate Bridge. Many defenses have not been built in time. Today, they were put in a position by the enemy. The artillery position they just brought was stolen by the enemy, and the enemy is active in the mountains.
The role that tanks can play is minimal.
The enemy has snipers again.
"Sir, if the enemy wants to trap our large force, they must blow up the bridge. Their target is the bridge."
The deputy thought about it carefully and said.
Lieutenant Colonel Ashan smoked a cigar and thought seriously: "Then let the troops on the bridge move back, hide in the rear, and lead them onto the bridge! When they get on the bridge, we will attack again and take them out.
Destroy to the bridge!"
"Yes, sir!"
An order was issued to the south and north of the bridge. The US troops who were originally stationed on the south and north of the bridge quickly retreated to the rear, and even the tanks drove away.
Xia Yuan raised his head and stared, "The enemy has retreated!?"
The U.S. military did not resist, and did not even bring heavy machine guns. They hid behind the tanks and ran away, retreating to the rear. This scene not only made Xia Yuan a little dumbfounded, but even the volunteer soldiers were a little dumbfounded. They did not attack again, but waited for Xia Yuan.
Far command.
He quickly slid down the mountain and quickly found Wu Wenxiang along the bunker. "What's going on? Why did the US military retreat?"
Wu Wenxiang shook his head: "I don't know either."
"Don't worry, let me think about it."
Northwest.
The scout quickly ran back and said, "Company Commander, the gunfire from the south has stopped."
"What!" Wu Qianli was shocked. After listening carefully, he really didn't know what he was talking about. He quickly asked: "What's the situation with the US military here at the command post?"
"The enemy only sent one reinforcement, not much in number, at most one platoon," the scout quickly replied.
"What is the US military doing?" Mei Sheng said.
Yu Congrong had a bad premonition in his heart and asked: "Company Commander, could it be..."
Wu Qianli thought for a moment: "Don't be anxious, wait a moment!"
South of the bridge, Xia Yuan raised his head and said: "It is unlikely that the US military will give up guarding the bridge, but we have to blow up the bridge. They are likely to wait for us to take the bait again. This is not good news. Our mission is to contain the enemy.
Attract the enemy's reinforcements, allowing the company commander and the others to successfully blow up the headquarters."
"We must find a way as soon as possible!"
Xia Yuan recalled the layout of the US military on the Watergate Bridge in his mind.
The north of the bridge is the center between the U.S. military's rear and the south of the bridge. Xia Yuan did not know how the Seventh Company of the Changjin Lake Film Company subsequently blew up the Shuimen Bridge, but he knew that blowing up only one section of the bridge would not work. The U.S. military
The industrial base of China is very strong. Even if the bridge bombing task is really completed, the US military can get a set of steel bridges to erect on it within two days.
So if you want to blow it up, you have to blow up the entire bridge.
"The plan has changed. Since the US military has retreated and shrunk, we will attack in. At least we will hurt them until they have to reinforce!"
Xia Yuan thought for a long time, raised his head and said, "Now a new combat order is issued. Lao Wu, you lead four combat teams from the south of the bridge. You must maintain the combat formation, but you are not allowed to go on the bridge. You are only allowed to harass outside.
Enemies, when moving, be especially careful above your head. The US military has built many houses on the Watergate Bridge. We are below, but if they are above, they can catch us by surprise!"
"I took three combat teams to the north of Qiao to observe."
Wu Wenxiang stared at him, "Platoon leader, you have to be more careful!"
Xia Yuan nodded, "You also need to be careful. The US military will not give up. Their retreat this time is probably a hidden trick. When you act, you must keep your teams dispersed and do not gather together, which will give the US military
A chance for tanks to play.”
"yes!"
"The 1, 2, 3, and 4 combat teams will stay, and the 5, 6, and 7 combat teams will follow!"
Xia Yuan led three combat teams, retreated back, passed through four water diversion pipes, and came to the north of the bridge. He hid behind a bunker and quickly observed the north of the bridge.
Like the situation in the south of Qiao, no American troops were seen in the fortifications in the north of Qiao, but the absence of sight does not mean that there are no American troops. Maybe the American troops are hiding in the trenches.
He had observed the situation south of the bridge. The US military was retreating to the north of the bridge, but he had not observed the situation north of the bridge. It was equivalent to a blackout in front of his eyes. Xia Yuan quickly observed the terrain and his eyes fell on a bunker under the road. The location of this bunker
It is very advantageous. As long as you occupy this position, you can rush to the fortifications built by the US military.
"Three people go up and grab the advantageous terrain first!"
Xia Yuan set up the big eight grains and immediately ordered. He stared cautiously at the defense fortifications built by the North American army in Qiao. No enemy was found wherever he looked.
The three soldiers of the fifth group moved towards the bunker under the enemy's fortifications in a three-by-three combat formation.
Suddenly, an American soldier in strange clothes stood up from the bunker of the defense fortification, and when he was about to pull the trigger in his hand, a bullet penetrated his head, and accompanied by Xia Yuan's voice, "Hide!"
Before they could react, the US military's heavy machine gun suddenly rang out, and a chain of fire was fired instantly. The bullets penetrated their bodies and they fell heavily to the ground, soaked with blood.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At the same time, Xia Yuan pulled the trigger and shot the second bullet through the head of the American soldier who controlled the heavy machine gun.
This series all happened in a flash of lightning, and even Xia Yuan's reaction couldn't keep up.
"Sure enough, these foreign devils have no good intentions!" The leader of the Sixth Combat Group clenched his hands into fists and hung them hard on the ground.
Xia Yuan held the gun and hid behind the bunker, looking around.
"This position is not good, we need to continue to take a circuitous route."
Taking a deep breath and looking at the three dead soldiers, Xia Yuan was upset. He knew the US military's plan and sent three soldiers up, but because of himself, three soldiers died.
"Platoon commander, you don't have to blame yourself too much," a soldier said.
"This was a mistake in my command. After the battle, I will report my mistake to the instructor and company commander."
Xia Yuan took a deep breath and looked at the bunker in front. The position was very good. Once he occupied that position and relied on the fire cover from the rear, he could attack the US military's defenses.
As for why they didn't throw grenades, the U.S. military was hiding in the trenches and had no idea where the enemy was hiding. The grenades thrown in the direction could only hurt the U.S. troops to a very limited extent. The most important thing was that they didn't have many grenades on them, so they had to leave them behind.
At critical moments.
"No! We can't take any more detours, we're running out of time!"
Xia Yuan glanced at the time, gritted his teeth, and carefully observed the US military's defenses. If the enemy could shoot when the three soldiers rushed up, it meant that they must have a position where they could see this side, and that position was very
Hidden, Xia Yuan observed carefully but could not find it. He gritted his teeth and said: "You guys cover me this time! I'll come up!"
The other six soldiers were shocked, "Platoon commander, you can't go! Let us go!"
"Resolutely carry out the order!"
Xia Yuan growled, his eyes red, "Remember, if I am injured, don't come to save me! You return to Qiaonan and take action with the deputy platoon leader! Tell the deputy platoon leader, remember to use two mortars
!Be sure to strictly follow the plan in front of the station!"
