The battlefield environment is complex, and various sounds and situations are happening constantly. When the 1st Battalion of the 347th Regiment of the Volunteer Army, which was responsible for the attack, risked its accumulated wealth and bombarded the position of the 2nd Battalion of the 8th U.S. Cavalry Regiment with hundreds of mortar shells,
The destruction of an anti-aircraft vehicle is not a dramatic event.
When they are mentally stressed, most soldiers focus on a small area in front of them. Only the officers in charge will spread their energy slightly and learn more about other aspects of the situation.
When an M16 half-track anti-aircraft vehicle at the front exploded, the broken parts and stumps flying in the sky could only make the nearby American soldiers lower their heads to avoid it. Lieutenant Colonel Walton, who was in charge of commanding here, took a glance, but it was just
Express regret for one's own losses.
This must have been hit by an enemy mortar shell, right? God bless the other American soldiers who are still alive!
"Don't move the anti-aircraft vehicle on the left, and let the two on the right retreat twenty meters." Lieutenant Colonel Walton felt that more shells were falling on the right, "Fire more flares to find the Yellow Monkey's mortars."
Position. Get the artillery ready, we have to kill those nasty guys."
Your Excellency the Lieutenant Colonel took command decisively and responded quickly to the new situation. The US military who received the order also took action. But within a minute and a half, another M16 anti-aircraft vehicle was blown up into the sky. Just now.
One was blown up on the right, and now one is blown up on the left.
Lieutenant Colonel Walton had to turn his head and shift his attention to the left, "Quick, quick, move the anti-aircraft vehicle on the left back twenty meters. The formation evacuation point should not be too dense."
"Sir, should we launch a counterattack?" a staff officer suggested. The US military currently gathered at the three-way intersection is just holding on, a bit passive and taking a beating. It was fine if there were no losses before, but now two anti-aircraft vehicles have been bombed.
If it falls, it won't make sense if it doesn't move.
Just moving the anti-aircraft vehicle is really like "treating the head when it hurts, and treating the foot when it hurts" and cannot fundamentally change the battlefield situation.
However, Lieutenant Colonel Walton has accumulated a lot of tanks and armored vehicles in his hands, and it is overkill to use them simply as fixed firepower points. In view of the opponent's lack of anti-tank firepower, why not have an armored charge that is exciting enough?
"This is a good idea. We should let those yellow monkeys taste the power of tanks." Lieutenant Colonel Walton patted the staff officer's shoulder. He also noticed that the terrain at the three-way intersection was relatively flat, and the wasteland and farmland were frozen in the cold winter.
It's very hard and can allow tanks to run on it.
"Go notify those tanks and let their commanders launch an attack in five minutes. I will order a platoon to follow them." Lieutenant Colonel Walton ordered his staff.
The staff officer immediately went to deliver the order. He found two scattered platoons of the 70th Tank Battalion of the regiment, with a total of eight tanks. These tanks were parked on the roadside and violently bombarded targets hundreds of meters away. It was only under the hazy moonlight that they finally hit the target.
No one could tell what was hit.
"Who is your leader? The one with the highest rank answers me."
"Lieutenant Colonel Walton asks you to launch an assault to mop up the enemies on the outside."
"Don't worry, we will send a platoon behind to protect your flanks."
The scattered tanks quickly gathered together, and they rushed out of the position at the three-way intersection in a double-file formation, quickly attacking outwards. In order to strengthen this assault force, an infantry platoon followed them. They watched them rush out with great momentum.
, the morale of the U.S. soldiers on the battlefield was greatly shaken!
However, only seven of the eight tanks rushed out, and the last one did not move. The US military staff officer in charge of liaison ran up and asked, "Hey..., you should follow the main force and rush out."
Standing on the turret of this tank was the commander wearing a tank cap and goggles, but the commander's questions to the US military staff were just 'uh..., uh...'. After a while, the front hatch of the tank
When it opened, the driver appeared and asked, "I'm sorry, sir, what happened?"
"Are you idiots? I asked you to follow other tanks to launch an assault." The US military staff officer was furious. If it weren't for the fierce fighting on the battlefield, he would have dragged these two guys out and beat them up. "Your tank commander
why do not you answer me?"
"Oh..., our commander was just deafened by a shell. He can't hear what you said?" The driver who emerged shrugged again, "And our engine is a little faulty, so we can't attack. But don't worry.
, we are also great as a firepower point!"
This explanation sounds impeccable...
The US military staff officer who passed the order once again stared at the commander on the turret, and could only leave in anger. At most, he felt that the commander was a bit stupid, but people who have been bombed by shells may be like this, "Okay, aim at those damn ones."
The yellow monkey, give me a deadly blow!"
"Yes, sir. Don't worry!" the driver agreed happily, and after saying that, he retracted into the tank.
On the other side, the 347th Regiment of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army was in an open field with no danger to defend. Just now, I was happy that the enemy's two heavy machine gun firepower points suddenly exploded, but I didn't expect that after a while, the enemy actually rushed out with a rumble of several tanks.
Big trouble...!
Compared with tanks, the weapons in the hands of the volunteers were fire sticks. The situation was urgent, and the battalion commander immediately roared: "Order the battalion headquarters company to prepare an anti-tank team. The enemy's tank attack must be contained."
When a tank weighing dozens of tons is running, it cannot be stopped by willpower. This can only be filled with human lives. Can you try to blow it up with anti-tank grenades or explosive packs after approaching it? But?
The enemy's accompanying infantry will not let you get close easily, so the tank is not that easy to fight.
In fact, before the battalion headquarters could react, the suppressed volunteer infantrymen on the front line realized that they were about to encounter huge trouble. Whether it was for victory or survival, they organized themselves spontaneously and used their own flesh and blood to bear the enemy's blows.
tank.
However, the pure infantry attack of the volunteers did not have much effect. The running tanks did not give these warriors a chance to get close. Not only the US infantry accompanying the tanks, but also Lieutenant Colonel Walton in the position.
Provide strong support to your own tank detachment.
"Yes, just bomb them like this, blast them into the sky from the dark corners." Seeing the volunteer soldiers who were advancing one after another being blown to pieces by the tank guns, Lieutenant Colonel Walton put down his telescope and felt extremely comfortable, "We should have fought like this a long time ago.
Yes, this is the correct way to deal with the yellow monkey."
The overwhelming armored offensive made the Lieutenant Colonel laugh, and the battle situation was showing a one-sided situation. But suddenly a ball of white flames exploded on the battlefield. The light of the flames illuminated the wilderness at the three-way intersection, and even the tank detachment was
Most of the accompanying infantrymen were wrapped in it.
This time everyone's attention was drawn to the tank unit, and everyone could clearly see a bright and dazzling bullet mark streaking across the night sky. The white phosphorus bullet that hit the infantry was actually fired from the US military position.
Seeing his accompanying infantry jumping and screaming in the flames, Lieutenant Colonel Walton immediately roared: "Where did the white phosphorus bomb come from? Is that bastard beating his own people?"
